Getting sick of reboots and freezes ...

hi folks, OK let me go directly to the problems I am facing. I bought a BB curve 8900 recently. I used it for couple of hours and then started to have the problem of auto rebooting of device while doing anything!. Then I took the phone to a repair shop who wiped out everything everything from the phone, basically doing a system restore of the phone but that did not help. It kept on rebooting at its will. After that I took it again to the tech support and this time he downgraded the OS from v5.0 to v4.6.1.133 (Platform 4.2.0.85). Things were going on smoothly with no reboots until after 24 hours the phone started to freeze at its will. Even if the LED was on it would freeze and the LED would still remain on!. And then after this it rebooted again. I am in a real dilemma. I really can't figure out how to fix this. I would really appreciate if someone could get my problem fixed!

Go look at the pictures in the posted link. If you have them they will be replaced automatically. If you don't have ones like those pictured you don't need them replaced. The ones that do need replaced would only pose a threat if you unplugged them and the power switch was still on the casing came off and you happened to touch a live wire. So let's not overreact? Doesn't sound like you suffered any mistreatment at all. Only the English language has been mistreated!!!!

  • Lumia 620 Rebooting and Freezing

    My family have 4 Lumia 620's between us and all of them have been having problems with random reboots and screen freezes since the Lumia Black update.  I have tried resetting them and have verified that all the apps were updated (In all 4 cases "access point" required updating as it never automatically showed an update was needed) but this has not resolved the problem.  
    The reboots sometimes happen when using the phone, for example in IE, and sometimes just when the phone is sitting, not being used. Freezes usually happen on the lock screen, requiring the phone to be rebooted by holding down volume and power.
    On a few occassions, the phones have reset their date and time after a reboot and eventually correct it automatically.
    On a couple of occassions, a reboot sometime during the night has reset the alarms causing them to be missed.
    It seems to only be the Lumiz 620's that have this problem as I have a Lumia 820 and 520 which are not showing the same problem in-spite of being upgraded to Lumia Black.  
    My family are very frustrated with these reboots and freezes and are now considering moving to another platform.  Please help as I would like them all to stick with Windows Phone for when 8.1 is released.

    hi mate, sorry to hear of the problems you have been experiencing. in this case, the only option you have left is to perform a hard reset, and failing that, a visit to your nearest Nokia Care location for inspection of your handsets is mandated.

  • Computer Reboots and Freezes Upon iPod Connection

    On a fairly frequent occasion, my computer will reboot and then the mouse will freeze up when I connect my iPod. I am running XP and connect through a USB port on the computer. The frustrating thing about this is that it doesn't occurr all the time. Somtimes everything works fine. When the computer does freeze, I have to shut it down, disconnect the USB from the iPod and try again. Usually it take a couple of trys to get things to work. Anyone have this problem and if so do you know of a fix. I am using the latest Nano software updates.
    Velocity Micro   Windows XP  

    It only happens when I connect the iPod to the USB port, but not everytime. Sometimes it works fine. Is there a difference between the order of connection. Should I first connect the iPod to the cable and then the cable to the USB port on the computer, or connect the USB end to the computer first and then iPod to the other end.

  • Rebooting and Freezing Keyboard

    I have a Droid 2. This is the second or third phone that I have received since signing my contract. Sadly, I'm locked in my contract until July. Since the upgrade of software I have had a warranty replacement and a VZW replacement each has had the same problem. While typing on facebook or typing text messages, I am able to type about 10 characters and the cursor disappears and
    I am not able to type anymore. Also, the screen will freeze and until I lock and unlock the phone am I able to continue what I was doing. However, that whatever doesn't include typing on my message. Often I have to start a message two or three times to get it correct. I have even had to use the voice recognition feature to get an accurate message. Here are the things I have done to try helping the situation:
    1. Hard Reset and the problem went away and came back shortly after downloading my apps
    2. Soft reset, did nothing
    3. I uninstalled all of my downloaded applications and started my phone in safe mode and still received the problem.
    I'm so frustrated I can't see straight. I'm ready to throw this phone into the Mississippi River.
    Has anyone experienced  anything like this? Did you manage to fix it or get it fixed???

    30 GB 5th generation. I down loaded the latest two Powerline radio program podcasts. I was previously able to play them without a hitch. When I start the podcasts, they appear to want to play but then the iPod shuts down and reboots. Seems to sound like problems experienced by similar posts. I am still able to play other podcasts and music (both ripped from CDs and purchased on iTunes). I will reset the iPod and see if that works. I will report back.
    Note: The Powerline podcast is a conservative podcast of current polictal events. You can download the podcast at the Powerline website or through iTunes. I obtained this podcast through iTunes. I have seen where both conservative and liberal websites have been hacked by the more unscrupulous of the opposition. With the election season heating up, and both camps in fever pitch, I wonder if it is possible that the podcast has been tampered with to produce this result. Just curious.

  • Droid bionic random/constant rebooting and freezing.

    Hello all,
    I've had the Bionic since it came out and never really had a problem with it (other than the 3G dropping). Never rooted it or installed any untrustworthy apps, so this isn't a user problem as far as I can tell.
    This is what's happening:
    Two days ago while I was driving to class, I noticed a noise. Looked down and my Bionic was restarting itself. I figured it could have been some updates or something so I didn't think much of it. Then it happened again about 20 minutes later. After that, it didn't happen again all day. So I wake up the next morning for class and look at my phone (alarm going off) as I'm about to shut the alarm off, the screen goes black and pops up with the dual core screen. Drive to school again and it restarts 3 times while driving this time. One hour class it restarts 5 times. Go to work and it probably restarts 20 times in an 8 hour period. I get home, and by then it's constant restarts. Phone might be on for 5 minutes then it will restart. So I do a factory reset on the phone and it does nothing. It actually seems like the restarts have increased in frequency. It restarted 5 times while I was typing this paragraph. Also sometimes it'll just freeze like this morning it was on the dock and stuck at 5:10am, when it was 10 am. Or it will freeze on the Dual-Core screen when rebooting.
    So what exactly can I do? I installed logcat somehow but the logs don't really seem to tell me anything. I insalled OSmonitor and watched the logs and it kept saying CPU1 Shutting down, booting secondary CPU over and over and over, so I think some hardware is screwed up here.
    1. Should I call or go to the store? I'm not really sure what the return policy is. I'd like to get a replacement right away and not have to drop money on stupid shipping costs.
    2. Is it possible to get a different model phone? I've heard too many problems with the Bionic to make me want to get another one. I'd love to get the Nexus without dropping $700.
    3. Is there any possible fix i'm overlooking here? A factory reset was the last ditch effort as far as I can tell.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello Pigbearman
    I'm very sorry to hear about your Bionic resetting. We can definitely look into this and address all of your questions. Thank you for the great descriptions and the troubleshooting you have already completed.
    Please power the device in safe mode and retest. This will let us know if the issue is caused by an application or the software on the device. Here's a link for safe mode: http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=47270
    Let me know if the device resets in safe mode. You wouldn't have to go to a store. The manufacturer's warranty would cover the same make and model device. So if there was no liquid or physical damage we can order you a replacement with free shipping.
    Thank you

  • Mega 180 reboot and freezing...PSU failure??

    I was browsing the internet,when my screen went black and the onboard speeker started beeping.
    I couldn't restart the system without a BIOS reset.All my temps are normal.
    After 5 minutes the screen went black again,but no beeping this time.
    BIOS reset again,and then I've checked my voltages.By the BIOS my 3.3v is only 3.23v.
    Under Windows the system monitor shows only 3.15-3.18 v.
    When I turn on or turn off the computer theres is a ticking sound from the PSU(from the bottom of it),which wasn't there before.
    If I start a game,the system just freezes.
    Is my PSU gone???
    ps:I'm using the onboard graphics and sound etc.

    to determine if the PSU is at fault, you can connect up a regular desktop ATX PSU. make sure the specs are the same or better.
    disconnect all the power connectors from the Mega PSU, then connect the ATX PSU while it is still outside the case. note that while testing with another PSU that the LCD display won't work and you won't get any sound either.
    you can run some tests for a while; if you don't get any freezing or restarts, then you know the PSU is at fault
    HOWEVER, the mostly likely cause of problems in all the Megas is OVERHEATING. when PSUs get too hot, their power output can drop, causing instabilities. use a program such as Speedfan to monitor your CPU and system temps

  • Why is my iphone 5 rebooting and freezing under iOS 7?

    My iPhone 5 worked perfectly every day for a year.  Now that I've upgraded to iOS 7 it freezes frequently and reboots itself every few hours.  What is wrong and how can I fix it?

    I take it you've got the original iPhone 5?
    If so, I highly recommend that you switch these off in Settings:
    1) WiFi
    2) Bluetooth
    3) Mobile Data (internet usage via 3G etc)
    Don't leave them running for long periods, they'll drain your battery at an alarming rate, even with Mobile Data turned on, your battery won't last for more than 3 days!!
    Mobile Data is found in 'Mobile' in settings.
    Also, some Settings that will cause a fairly gradual drain are:
    1) Privacy>Location services>System Services - Turn off: Location based iAds, and Location Services (uses GPS)
    2) GPS  - Turn off
    3) Change your Brightness to the second "s" in brightness
    4) iTunes and Appstore settings - turn off automatic download updates if your really desperate
    5) General>background App Refresh - Turn off
    Note that some apps make extensive use of internet, eg. Facebook and Twitter and such, you'll have to manage these much tighter than normal. As in, don't leave them running in the background, quit those apps, as they'll keeping using the internet (checking for updates) when not in use by the user.
    After you've done these, make a note of the percentage battery at the time, and leave it in sleep mode for an hour. If it's used about 1% or none, then you're back to normal battery usage, and it's fixed it.
    Let us know what happens.

  • Is there a way to make YouTube download my selection completely before playing (like you can do with songs on iTunes)? I'm getting sick of start and stop during viewing!!

    Apparently I typed my entire question into the subject line without knowing what I was doing!
    I want to FULLY download selections from YouTube before attempting to view them. Just like you can select to fully download the samples of songs from iTunes. I am sick of the **** YouTube video going in and out, especially when I'm also downloading something else at the same time!
    Please tell me how to set this 'preference,' if there is a way!
    Thanks !
    David

    Sounds like you did this on the fly.
    MM is supposed to open the Marker Panel Dialogue
    M just sets a marker
    Not sure if either are intended for on the fly during playback .
    There is also a Marker Icon on the Source Window Pane  >>

  • MSI B75MA-P45 "Reboot and Select proper Boot device"

    Hey guys, I just had this PC delivered to me yesterday, pre-built after my specs. Been using their company for a decade and never had an issue (that said, they might very well have screwed up this time, but I would love some feedback).
    So, when I plug in the PC and boot it it get stuck at "Reboot and Select proper Boot device" (and in the bottom right it blink between A2/B4 before it gets to the reboot prompt).
    What I have done to try to fix this:
    1) Go into BIOS and swap around the boot order. No luck with that, and I cannot find the SSD HD on the list either.
    2) Confirmed it was set on AHCI mode.
    3) Booted with the MSI Motherboard CD to get to Winki. In the Winki file manager I do see the SSD HD with Windows installed! But the BIOS cannot find it.
    The specs:
    Board: MSI B75MA-P45
    Bios: E7798IMS V1.5
    VGA: ASUS Geforce GTX660Ti
    PSU:  Corsair CX 500
    Intel Core i7-3770
    Corsair Cooling Hydro H55
    RAM: Corsair XMS3 Vengeance CL9
    Samsung SSD 840 Series 120 GB
    Seagate Barracuda 2TB
    Win 8
    So I'm left a bit dumbstruck here. It seems quite clear the BIOS cannot find the SSD for some reason, but I'm not sure how to sort this?
    I mean: I do see Windows in the Winki file manager, so the HD is clearly there and readable. But on the other hand it cannot find it in the BIOS so I can't choose it as a boot drive.
    Any suggestions on what might cause this and how I could solve it?
    Thank you.

    Wow, that was easier than I thought.. after hours of browsing internet, trying all kinds of BIOS settings, eventually I just opened the case and plugged out the SATA cables and plugged them back in. Boom, it works. Didn't expect it to be that easy since the Winki still could see the HD.
    Seems BIOS is more sensitive than the Winki. But there you go, problem solved.

  • Macbook shutdown. It won't reboot and the power cord isn't lit when plugged in

    Had my macbook running and it just shut down. I cannot get it to reboot and the power cord isn't lit up when it is connected to the computer. The only problem leading up to this was I could not use the computer unless the power cord was connected. Any suggestions? Thanks

  • Z77A-G45 reboot and select proper boot device

    Hey all,
    I've had this problem happen to me twice and have yet to figure out what causes it, so I was wondering if anyone knows for certain.
    I have a Z77A-G45 with Windows 8 Pro installed.  Twice I've had a problem with after rebooting, I get the message:
    "reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key"
    This happens with no USB storage nor CD/DVD in the system.   When I try to press Delete to get into BIOS after powercycling, I just get the above message repeatedly with each keypress.   The only customization that I've found in common when this happens, is that I have the Fast Boot options enabled -- so for now I'm just avoiding that.    (I'm actually am not sure if its making any real difference.)   To resolve the problem, I have to clear my CMOS settings via the motherboard.
    I don't see any signs of HDD failure - SMART is clean, no I/O errors in the System log, and performance seems fine.   So maybe it really is just Fast Boot??
    EDIT: Oh, my BIOS version is  V2.9 / 20130118
    thanks

    Recommend to try the latest UEFI/BIOS found here;

  • FF4 install freezes win 7 during reboot and can't uninstall or reinstall

    I upgraded to FF4 and it requested a reboot. Upon reboot, Windows 7 freezes up and repair or restore is required to get back into windows. If I try to reinstall or uninstall, the install program informs that states that I have to complete the previous install first and request I reboot. If I reboot it freezes windows up again. Therefore, I can't complete the installation or uninstall the FF4 to try a clean install.

  • I have an IPhone 4s that recently has had an issue receiving calls. I will get a voicemail but the phone did not ring.  When i go to call the person it stays on dialing and never connects.  I have to do a hard reboot and then I can call them

    My phone 4s has recently been acting up. I will receive a voicemail but the phone never rang. When I try to call the person back the phone gets stuck on dialing and then freezes I have plenty of signal bars, when I try to end the call it freezes.  I have to do a hard reboot and then the phone works again. It seems like this started after the last update.  My network is Verizon. Any suggestions?

    Sounds like the device was dropped at some point and damaged as a result.
    Take it to Apple for evaluation and a replacement.
