N900 Restart
 

Hi Everyone

Posting after a long time. Well I have a issue with my phone as it restarts automatically on a daily basis say about 20-30 times. And this is my 2nd N900 and I am facing the same issue as the 1st one.

The only reason I got it replaced was because the 1st one ended up having the same issue since the day I bought it, and the current N900 is having the same issue after updating it to the 20.2010.36-2.004 version. And I really am having a hard time figuring this out.:confused:

I have uninstalled all the apps that I had on the phone also formatted and updated the phone but the issue is just the same.

So please If anyone can help me fix this I would really be grateful.

Have you overclocked your phone or installed any custom kernel ? What's the value of /proc/bootreason after reboot ? Have you tried replacing your microsd card ?

Re: N900 Restart
 

No I have not overclocked my phone. I am a total noob when it comes to that. I did not understand this sorry (What's the value of /proc/bootreason after reboot ?). And I do not have a micro SD card.

Although I have the additional repositories added, but removed them as well and checked the issue is the same.
Also when the phone restarts I get a pop-up at times saying charger disconnected or play-back error, although the phone is in complete standby mode.

Open a terminal and run following commands one by one and copy/paste the output:

cat /proc/bootreason

cat /var/lib/dsme/stats/lifeguard_resets

cat /var/lib/dsme/stats/lifeguard_restarts

These are the results I got
~ $ cat /proc/bootreason
-sh: cat /proc/bootreason: not found
~ $ cat /var/lib/dsme/stats/lifeguard_resets
-sh: cat /var/lib/dsme/stats/lifeguard_resets: not found
~ $ cat /var/lib/dsme/stats/lifeguard_restarts
-sh: cat /var/lib/dsme/stats/lifeguard_restarts: not found

While you're at it, it'd be better if you'd show us a list of software you've installed for our further investigation:

(Go to Xterminal)
Then plug the N900 to your PC via USB cable and attach the package.txt here.

Re: N900 Restart
 

which mode do you want me to select once I connect the device to my PC..?? currently it is on PC suite mode.

Re: N900 Restart
 

You need to put a blank space between cat and /proc/bootreason

Re: N900 Restart
 

You would need to connect in USB Host Mode to copy files to/from the device.
