Droid X - Restart Issues

[travx27]

After the first day of having my phone, it would just restart itself.  It seems to only do this when I am in the messaging application. I tried to download another application from the market, but I had the same issues. My messages are always deleted, meaning I do not have a lot in my application. I use advanced task killer. I can do anything else that requires a lot of phone power, but the phone still only restarts in the messaging application. I don't know if anyone else is having this issue, but please help

I factory reset my phone to see if that was the issue, but the same thing is happening.

Hi.  I am sorry you are having issues with you phone and I will be happy to look into this for you to see what is going on.   Does it do this everytime you access the messaging application or just sometimes?   Does it happen when you are just reading, sending or receiving the messages?   What other applications did you download?

Try to dial *228 option 1 on your phone to program it again to see if this helps.

Waiting on your reply

Thanks!

Same here. It's happened twice in messaging since Friday. The last time my home screen buttons disappeared as well. I had to restart.  I'll try the reprogram  it  if it happens again, Thanks I hope it works.

Make sure you run the new update as well.  This could help if your phone had a bad install to begin with.

Well, I have noticed that it does it sometimes when I am in the middle of a call as well.  When I factory reset my phone, I had to reprogram it using *228, but I am still having the issues...

It doesn't do it in browser or anything else. And it seems that it oculd happen at anytime in the messaging program. But more so when I just close out to see all my threads of mesages, which I tend to delete so there are not that many.  Or sometimes when I jst sent a message and then like 10 seconds or so after, it will restart.  However, it is random. Sometimes it does it and sometimes it doesn't. As for calling, it does it once in a while too.

Thanks! Travis

I am having the same problem but it happens randomly.    Once during a call, once when I was trying to launch Pandora and once when I was trying to open pics in Gallery and once when I tried to wake it up to make a call.  It also happened twice while it was in its case - I only noticed because it gave me a text notification ring so I took it out to check the message and it was rebooting.  Is it a defective unit?

Mine has randomly restarted a couple of times just sitting on my desk plugged into the USB cable.

I've had the same issue within the messaging app.  Seems that it has happened both times while I was sending an SMS message. It seems to halt while sending the message and then goes black and reboots.  I've not seen it happen since the OTA update so I will wait to see if it continues.

I'm having the same issue, however it has restarted on me randomly just at idle i just look over and there it goes restarting. 

I also was transferring mp3 from my computer to it being connected and it just restarted.  I did the  226 thing and reset the battery, seems like its a software issue or hardware.

Also like to point out, even having a task killer running i notice many stock programs constantly run on this model.  I had the motorola droid before this and didn't have this issue,  Maybe 2.2 will fix a lot.

I have the same issues with the X just restarting on its on.  I've had it happen after a phone, text message, laying the table, and plug in.  This is not a good thing especially when your in the middle of a phone call.
