The Random Reboot

Hello,
I recently figured out what was causing some random restarts and boot loops for my RAZR and thought I would share what I found here. Perhaps if someone else has the same issue, they will find this usefill.
Basically my RAZR would randomly restart. Once it did it would go into boot loop until I did a hard reset( vol down and power). Then it would run fine for a while until it did that again. After trying to install and uninstall damn near each app with no change, I finally got an app to record the logcat when it was happening. The following is the log just before a crash:

As you can see it mentions AutoKiller just before the crash. Taking this advice, I reset my phone to factory, reflashed my rom, and reinstalled all my apps except AutoKiller Pro, using Titanium Backup, and there was no random reboots. After a couple days without problem, I reinstalled AutoKiller Pro to verify it was the problem. Sure enough the reboots into boot loop started all over. So needless to say, I reset, re-flashed, and restored all apps but AutoKiller Pro and the device once again works properly. I hope someone else finds this helpful.
 
same thing happening to me

This has recently started on my girlfriends razr maxx within the past cpl of days. it will reboot randomly several times and then finally get stuck in a loop. What app did you use to get the logcat that you posted? Any other advice for fixing the problem?
 
Task killers, especially "automatic" task killers are notorious for creating problems. Unless you have reason to believe that an app is smarter than the OS at managing multiple applications, it's usually a good idea to avoid them.
 
no task killers on the phone, when she first got it she had one on the phone but it was not an "automatic" task killer. I had her delete it soon after she had downloaded it, but the phone never gave any problems when the killer was installed.
 
Man this thread is a gold nugget! Thank you, uninstalling task killer now. I will follow up with results.

this totally solved most of my problems, especially with lag when pressing the homescreen button while in a application. haven't had any auto reboots until today when streaming pandora at the gym while messaging someone. going to clear my data for pandora, hopefully it will solve that issue.

but hands down, DO NOT INSTALL AN APP KILLER for a razr, or Razr MAXX. it WILL cause problems.
 
Not sure if this thread is still active but before the OS update task killers would inhibit my phone from charging past 30% and would cause overheating. But now thanks to the update the OEM task killef app was replaced by a new format and i was wondering if anyone has tested the new platform with a killer yet. My razr maxx is now runnin 6.16.211.XT912.verizon.en.us if that matters.
I will be trying an app tonight and will post the program and initial response to the programming; thanks for any input.

On ICS you don't need an app killer. Just hold down the home button to get to recent apps. When they appear swiping them away (side to side like you would a notification) kills the app as a task killer would

I MAY be wrong, I am not 100% sure, but I THINK I read somewhere that swiping the apps doesn't actually kill them, it just removes them from the "Recent Apps" list. Again, I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure I read that here somewhere. :)
 
Hmm, it kills em on my devices.. I checked in running apps.. perhaps it doesn't kill em all though?? Idk. :)

I'm not sure ... I just remember it being discussed somewhere on here. Someone said it doesn't actually kill them. But I'm not sure. :)
 
I'm not 100% sure either. I know that you can kill an app and it will still appear in the recent apps list (ral) and if you press on it, it will open the app from scratch. It seems that it will close out of some by swiping and others are more persistent... but that could be that those are the ones that would be no matter what.
 
Android reboots are a common phenomenon. Check your device uptime (Settings / About / Status / Uptime) and verify that your device rebooted earlier than you last recall restarting it :)
