My HTC Droid Eris will not stop restarting itself every 5 minutes. I've tried just about everything....I think.
the same thing is happening with my motorola droid. it is rebooting every 3-5 mins and keeps texting me the same messages over and over again. i am not able to dial out or receive calls. also unable to check voicemail. when pressing to dial or check voicemail a force close or wait message pops up. ive taken the battery out. turned off. waiting for 10 mins and turned back on. tried everything i can think of and no luck. from what ive checked, all other apps work.
PLEASE HELP! IS THIS A CRASH WITH THE DROID GOOGLE SYSTEM WITH VERIZON OR THIS JUST AN ISSUE WITH MY PHONE AND A FEW OTHERS AS WELL???
NEED ANSWERS
I might have it.
Have you tried to reset it to factory settings? If so, and nothing changed, take it into Verizon and show it to them.

you could also try deleting all of your apps and see if the problem happens again. if it does, it is probably a bad droid, and you should exchange it. if it doesnt happen, then you can add one app at a time and see which app might be rogue on your system.
Have what?
A solution? The Swine Flu? What??Geri O
This seems to be kind of localized, how about everyone having the problem list what programs they have installed on their system. I'm guessing we will find 1 or 2 apps that they all have in common...
My daughter's Eris is not having a problem (although she hasn't applied the MR update, since she would rather NOT have the phone locking up several times a day...) and she would be the first to call and complain if it were LOL
This is what is going on with mine. It also keeps turning off every couple of minutes beginning last night. Even though my battery was fully charged throughout the day, I figured I would try to plug it in and it still kept turning off and it said that the battery was only at 5%. No idea why. The phone force closes for all of my apps and wont even let me make phone calls. Too bad local Verizon stores are closed in this area. Any Ideas???

can you list the apps that are on your device like BKFIST suggested? maybe we can start from there.
I know its a pain in the butt, but I just uninstalled all my apps....and it now works. I'm recharging it now and I hope that the battery is fine. It may have to do with the applications, but my advice is just to reinstall the apps you have. Write them down if you have a lot.

you should just load one app at a time. give it like a couple hours before the next app load and see if the droid produces the same problems. once it does then you know which app is the problem and then please list here so we can warn SKYNET
my guess would be to do a hard reset...
Mine was having the same problem so I unistalled all my apps. That fixed the problem, no more resetting!!!!
Then I later read that it was the anitvirus application update that was causing this issue.
UNISTALL THE ANTI VIRUS APP< ASAP!!!!!!!
ahhh.. ok.... mine started doing that about a week and a half ago.... hmmm.. deleted antivirus... will see what happens...
Was that a malicious app? or just poorly written? seems like everyone had problems with it across the board!
This happened to me last week when I downloaded some app updates. When I deleted the apps that I updated, my phone worked fine.

It is my policy to never trust an anti-virus program for any Linux Distrobution until it has been checked out thoroughly by programmers. Anti-Virus programs get system access to sensitive parts of your computer. With Linux it is possible but a little more difficult to install viruses. That isn't to say that it is impossible and with the market being what it is it could be downloaded by a lot of people before it is ever discovered but it still doesn't get access to the core system without you doing something you really shouldn't be doing.
best Anti-Virus protection you can get is don't give any app permission to access your core system without really knowing what it is and where it comes from. When Flash comes out it will be the deepest reaching program I would feel good about installing and I would prefer to download it from the Adobe site cause there could be imposters in the market.
