I have random reeboots mostly when im using the microb and charging at the same time. Most of the reboots happens when im using the wifi not the 3G. Sometimes they occure when i have downloaded some new app from extras-devel. Never had a random reboot before the first update wich was sopposed to fix the reboot problem. It's not a big issue and who knows it might go away with the new PR 1.2 One thing that strikes me as odd is the drain of my battery when it reboots on it's own. Im using batterygraph and there i can see it drains the battery from 5-20%.



The gapps are the random reboots

I never had a random reboot...never!
so obviously its not an issue with all the devices.
mine is super stable

Its just rebooted again, this time on wifi, while using the browser.

I've checked the "/proc/bootreason" and it says sw_rst. ThIs makes me think software not hardware.

I have a new sim I'll activate in the morning, but given is was running on wifi at the time I'm thinking it may be something else.

cat /var/lib/dsme/staats/* shows the following

/usr/bin/systemui: 1
/usr/bin/hildon-home: 1
/usr/bin/camera-ui: 4
/usr/bin/systemui: 1
/usr/bin/hildon-home: 1
/usr/bin/camera-ui: 3

Any ideas anyone ?

I have not had a single spontaneous reboot. I've been using it since late November 2009.

Mine runs just fine. No hint of a lockup. Not needed to remove battery to reset.

It just works.

I have the same problem...random reboot not only with the browser...

I'm just waiting for the new firmware 1.2 I have also tried to flash the phone with no result...

I didn't have any reboots until last night. I updated a few of the items I have installed from testing (which I rarely do) and put it aside. In the span of about an hour it rebooted 3 or 4 times.

Turns out for me it was the IM plugin causing it. I tried turning off the IM client (go "offline") and that stopped the reboots it. I "fixed" it by doing a forced reinstall of all the packages again from testing. I'm not sure if a config got munged or what as part of the upgrade process, but a forced re-install made it stop rebooting while the plugin was active.

I also noticed that the reboots happened more oftne on 2/3G than on wifi. Maybe it was a latency based issue?

My n900 is quite rock solid.
The only issue I have is that after 4/5 days of uptime it does not connect to wifi automatically, I have to reboot.
Some time it seems to be connected, anyway my voip accounts are marked with problems (red icon with exclamation mark), reboot fix that again.

Anyway about 2 months ago it was very unstable, but I was in a very experimental phase and installed a custom built kernel with nat, a lot of packages from extra-testing/devel, and some .deb from debian armel.

When PR 1.1.1 was released I reflashed the device and restored from a backup without the list of installed apps, formatted mmc too, and was very carefull in installing new apps, tracking them on a text file (repository, or other sources), to remove them in a clean way, using apt purge instead of clean, and so on.

So I'm not sure if it was PR 1.1.1 to make my N900 reliable or my care

Should I be glad or sad that finally I found there are still a few people encountering the exact same problem? I get 32wd_to many times per day. After several kinds of test, removing sd card, reflash emmc and firmware, keep extras-devel and extras-testing away and enable r&d mode to disable watchdog do not help. Now I doubt if a unstable battery triggers watchdog to reboot my device because it seems worse when my battery level is low.

yup they are all unstable
