Random Restarting? moto droid

[JPlue]

Hey, new to the forum but not to the Droid.

I've had my Moto Droid since December, and am obsessed with it. Until about an hour ago I had never run into any problems with it, but now it is constantly restarting over and over and over (you get the picture).

I already uninstalled all of the apps that I've installed since yesterday (which took about 10 mins because it restarts after about 10 seconds).

Has anybody else run into this problem? I really don't want to have to exchange it with Verizon, but I also want to have a usable Droid!

Any help or advice would be awesome!

Since you already removed all the new apps try pulling the battery.

:welcome: to the Droid Forums. Try doing a factory reset and see if that doesn't help. If that doesn't work then you can try a hard factory reset. We'll cross that bridge when we get there.

I've manually restarted, and pulled the battery a number of times. Restarted with and without the SD card inserted, with the charger plugged in, etc. Is there any specific app or something that people have found to be buggy?

hey hook, thanks for the welcome. You posted as I was responding to the other post. My noob is showing, but how do I do a regular reset (not the hard reset), and will this erase all my apps?

Just go to settings/privacy/factory reset.

Just go to settings/privacy/factory reset.

ok thanks, and is it a huge P.I.T.A. to re-setup all of my google info (gmail, voice etc.)?

Nope, you just sign into it with your password. Had to do it myself a week ago.

Excellent. It's in the process of restarting now, I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

Alright, it's been reset and has stayed on for about 8 minutes so far... everything seems to be ok. Thanks for all of your help Hook!

Let's wait 24 hours before you thank me.

haha will do. I'm super impressed by android/google for being able to restore all of my contacts and apps

Just as an update: Since my factory reset, Droid seems to be working fine now! Thanks for your help!
