Random Reboots
 

Since upgrading to the latest OS, my Nokia has been rebooting randomly. Like in the middle of Mah-Jong or while surfing the Internet, or just sitting on the desk, I'll hear the 'ding' and look over and it's rebooting.

Anyone else having this problem? Anyone know a solution?

This happens with swap on and swap off. Using the swap file or the swap partition. I can't seem to narrow down a pattern, except it likes to reboot just before I clear the Mah-Jong board :(

I am experiencing some reboots at times too. I never experienced this with the 2005 OS. I find it happens often when I am trying to find a network connection. As it is "Searching..." it suddenly seems to freeze up and then it either reboots or just stays frozen. (forcing me to do a hard reboot and sometimes even removing and re-installing the battery)

Mine has done it twice now with the cover on and nothing happening. Very strange...

I'm having the same problems. Sometimes if I tap on an RSS story, I get the "RSS Reader loading..." bug, it spins for a few seconds and then goes away without loading the RSS reader. If I load it manually from the menu, it starts up fine. I'm running OS 2006, too, and I think it's a little flakey.

Add me to the list... Mine reboots when I try to use the Radio Stream not all wais but it does it now and then..

Count me in as well, although mine did it occassionally with OS 2005 as well. No discernable pattern in either case, unfortunately, so I can't offer much help.

Mine is so bad now is rendering my tablet unusable....!
ARG!

Does Nokia have a bug reporting system?

Meamo has a bugzilla I will try and post it after work.

Well I couldnt take the reboots no more I had to reflash to OS2005SE

Perhaps if you had reflashed ITOS2006 they would have gone away too ?...

No it was my 2nd time reflashing to OS2006 and still the problem persist..

well i gave OS2006 a second chance so far.ok

Re: Random Reboots
 

My apologies for resurrecting this old thread - tried searching but could not find something related to ITOS2006 49-2 stability. I have a 770 since two weeks now booting from a 1G kingston mmc-mobile card (thanks to information posted by great folks here) and also have the 64MB extended virtual memory enabled on the FAT partition. I have noticed that every few days, the device would just reboot e.g. when double clicking on the rss feed applet on the desktop (home) or opening up a browser.

I installed sysklogd earlier (courtesy of a post from a gentlman here - don't remember his name) and collected some info/logs. My question is whether this is normal for 770 or should I expect it to behave better in terms of stability and if so should I try flashing it again? I have opened up a number of apps at times with no reboots observed and at times it has happened with no apparent load.

(Posting the info/logs in subsequent mail as it has gone beyond the posting size limit).

Re: Random Reboots
 

Friendly bump. (reference post #14).
So any suggestions, anyone else willing to share whether they are observing similar random reboots or that ITOS2006 49-2 is quite stable :confused:

Appreciate any feedback

Re: Random Reboots
 

I am also observing random reboots as well as white screens on the same firmware version on an N770

Re: Random Reboots
 

same problem for bluetooth scaning, it reboots when scaning. I had to reflash it.
why isn't there an explanation for this problem? what couses it?.

Re: Random Reboots
 

In general random reboots can have more reasons. Apart from corrupted flash filesystem (caused by any previous random reboot in 'wrong' moment) which can be fixed by reflash there are two main issues you can't fix easily:

1. out of memory situation - enabling swap and tuning swappiness can help with this

2. wlan driver memory corruption - known for more that 1 year but only recently traced to be definitely caused by wlan driver in 770 and still unfixed - http://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2006 This one can be behind many truly random reboots as the corrupted memory page is randomly assigned to any process.
