[EVO 4G Android Development] Shack01:
Random reboots...

So, I started at CM6.0 running the 7.6Snap kernel, following the instructions on the OP tried to install CM6.1RC and it didn't work. (I discovered after reading pages and PAGES and PAGES in this thread that you need to wipe if installing over a Snap kernel.) Finally got 6.1 installed and restored all my stuff with Titanium Backup. This was late afternoon and, as I had about 73% battery left, I just set the phone down to get a rough idea of what battery usage was going to be. About midnight (9 hours, or so, later) I picked it up (still had 68% battery) and opened the Navigate app to insert my destination, stuck the EVO into the (OFFICIAL SPRINT) car dock, and it immediately rebooted. I'm a truck driver and use the Navigate app regularly. Then on the, roughly 4.5 hour, trip between Baton Rouge, LA and Houston, TX, the EVO rebooted 5-6 times. As near as I can tell it was completely random. The first was roughly 2 hours into the trip and the 2nd was roughly 1/2 hour later.

While in Houston, I nandroided the CM6.1 and installed a different ROM to try out 4G. I've got to say, for what I use the EVO for, 4G isn't 'all that and a bag of chip!' But that's another topic....

I restored the nandroid of 6.1 and continued to have the rebooting problem - as near as I could tell, ONLY when in the car dock. Reboots would occur completely at random. In one instance, it rebooted, and I got back into the Navigate app, and it immediately rebooted. It would always restart and then go directly to the car home screen. I noticed tho,that when it rebooted, it seemed laggy and the touch screen didn't seem to respond properly. I would have to mash the navigate button 2 or 3 times before it would open the app, then it would slowly bring up a white screen and slowly fill in the opening screen for Navigate. In one instance, I noticed that Navigate force-closed - but it didn't cause the phone to reboot.

Thinking that maybe there was some legacy bits floating around that may be causing the problem, I decided to wipe everything and do a fresh install WITHOUT restoring my Titanium Backup. At the same time, I installed Toast's Test1 kernel. If anything, it's worse now! I still have the random reboot issues while in the car dock and, as I discovered yesterday, not always while in the Navigate app! Google couldn't find the address I was looking for and so I just left the EVO in the dock, exited out of the car home screen to the main home screen and turned the screen off. All of a sudden it lit up on the Snap Splash screen that I installed in place of the white EVO 4G screen and proceeded through the boot process. I also noticed, while using Navigate, that it doesn't always return to the car home screen when it does reboot. Unfortunately, now, it's randomly rebooting while NOT in the car dock. I'll pick it up to use the camera, or go online, press the power button to turn the screen on and, after mashing the button a couple time (because nothing happens!) the screen will come up at the boot splash!

I really don't know where to start with troubleshooting this. I have LogCat, but - as somebody else pointed out - it's not time stamped and there is SO much info, that I really can't see anything that I would consider out of the ordinary. The current set up mirrors what I had with CM6.0. I did install one new app, but that was installed a couple days AFTER the original install of CM6.1RC so is not likely to be part of the problem.

Anybody have any ideas?!?
