Please HELP! N900 keeps rebooting..
 

Hello everybody,

I hope you can help me. Yesterday I was very happy to find out, that my N900 works together with my company's Exchange-server, which it did not before. So I could really start using the device instead of my old E71..

Today, however, I installed some applications and just wanted to reboot afterwards. The problem is, since then it just reboots all the time.. It boots fine until the wallpaper can be seen (but not the status area), than it seems to start all my widgets (but in the upper left corner of the screen), which will be seen as black rectangles. Sometimes in between the clock can be seen, before it reboots and everything begins once again. This behaviour can just be stopped by removing the battery.

I tried to repair this by putting it into RD-mode, but this leads to the same behaviour.

Do you guys have some idea how to fix this?

Thank you in advance, Boudjere

Did you type reboot fix into the search box in the upper right of the screen and then did you read through the results before you started a new thread?
There are lots of people that used to have reboot issues that fixed them by reading and taking the advice in these threads.

:confused: A load of posts, most of which are pre 1.1 release. Hardly a help :(

The latest release is turning my N900 into a pile of junk. No video and constant reboots. Just wonder what the next major update will remove.

Re-flash the phone

My phone, after the update would switch off and not be able to be switched back on without the battery being removed and replaced first.
Having re-flashed, the phone is now rock solid; everything is fast and reliable.
Only problem is the WiFi power safe mode is probalbely too good and it drops off the router if left for 10-15 mins so connecting to the phone with SSH fails, but on the other side I can stream web radio for hours now, big battery savings and never a dropped signal (a problem before, even beside the router) and I'm using 10mW setting.

Thank you all a thousand times.

Reflashing it did the job! And sorry again for posting the new thread, but I did not find the direction to reflashing, although using the forum search..
