[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
I myself had not played with SetCPU at all. So had you in the past and set it to conservative, and switched it back, or you switched it from its defaults? Reminds me, per my observation that it never has rebooted while on AC or USB, was there a default profile when plugged in that it's set to ondemand vs conservative? This could start making some weird kind of sense. I'll try it, but using something called CPU Tuner since it's free..

EDIT: I looked on USB and on Battery, both times was conservative, so looks like that's the default... Does the Nook have an automatic switching utility like cpuspeed in it? Hmm.. /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor is the file if anyone else wants to look.

BTW, has anyone on 1.0.1 auto-nooted etc not seen these random sneaky ninja power-off reboots? I swear mine waits until I'm not looking and reboots. I've only SEEN it do it once or twice, but in the last 5 or so days it's rebooted at least 10 times while powered off. Again NEVER while I'm using it, so I'm at least thankful for that. If it were rebooting while using it that would not be acceptable.

I have the Uptime Widget, kinda wished I had an uptime graph to see if there is a pattern.. I'm about 99% sure it never happens when plugged in AC or USB.

EDIT2: IT IS CLEARLY MOCKING ME. It just rebooted after I peeked at the governor files and let it idle to sleep.
[Nook Color General] rckymtnrfc:
I have the same random reboot problem since I upgraded to 1.0.1 and used auto-nooter. I only see it when it goes to sleep...or so I thought. This morning I heard it reboot and i hadn't touched it since last night. FYI, it was not plugged in when it happened. Thankfully it never reboots while in use.

Oh...ad i havent used any CPU clocking tools. Also...never saw this on 1.0. So weird but I am sure someone smarter than I will figure it out.

UPDATE- Just got out of the shower and while getting dresses...heard the Book reboot twice within a minute or two.

Wondering if its an app that is causing a fatal crash when it tries to update.
[Nook Color General] rckymtnrfc:
I haven't had a random reboot in 3.5 hours and i have used the Nook on and off. I did remove my email account from the Google email app (not gmail) and its been good for awhile now. I will update if this changes but I am feeling confident this fixed the random reboot.
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
I've had one unexpected reboot today that I know of, I think this has helped, although I keep finding my Wifi turned off, even though this program I installed is only set to turn it off when the battery is extremely low. So I changed that profile and it hasn't turned itself off since, so seems to me maybe the battery reporting is a little wonky sometimes.

I've been watching, and I'll keep an eye out, but I think wvcachi is onto something.

BTW, the Nook has been primarily idle for the last 5 hours, just popped it on a few times to read an email, check on something, or see if it reboots ;) so I haven't used it a bunch but it's lost a whopping 2% battery in that time. I also disabled the Phone stuff too, per this thread:

[Nook Color General] rckymtnrfc:
I am at 6.5 hours now....no rebooting so far. :)
[Nook Color General] rckymtnrfc:
Balls! Got to about 10 hours...was watching a video in Act 1 video player...set it down for a moment to talk to family and it rebooted.

Seems my idea wasn't a fix but it certainly has rebooted less than it was before.
[Nook Color General] Ravynmagi:
Never had a reboot in the first 24 hours I had the Nook. Have now had 3 reboots in the last 10 minutes after installing Set CPU. Using Ondemand with 800max, 600min.

None of the reboots happened while using it. It happened after it has gone idle.
[Nook Color General] wumpus11:
I think this is a crucial question:

My NC rooted with nooter (1 then 2) ran for 3 weeks with no resets or reboots and gapps, gmail, market, live wallpapers, etc all enabled. I even ran the BN app (library and book reading) and once or twice invoked the 'Shop' with no ill effects. Of course, one of the other variables is 1.0.0 vs 1.0.1.

When my replacement unit arrives I'm thinking I'll stick to the previous method instead of auto-nooter.

Anyone else think we could use a few polls about these and other issues?
[Nook Color General] swapdotavi:
I'm having the same issue. Reboots when I let it idle. I used the auto-nooter for 1.0. Does that install setcpu? I dont see it in my apps list.
[Nook Color General] coreground2010:
My 1.0.1 autonooter also reboots

Again never when using, just when idle.. It seems to happen often.

I have Adv Talk Killer Free running...

Others running after fresh boot are:

SoftKeys, OSMonitor, Social, Shop, Email, Gmail, Titanium Backup, T-mobile hotpost connect....

Lots of other apps installed.....
[Nook Color General] hliew88:
Ever since I rooted my NC last week, I've been having the same problem: most of the time, when I press the power button to get it to sleep, it reboots. Then, after that reboot, the screen times out (mine's at 2 mins) and because screen timeout is the same as pressing the sleep button, it reboots again. This means it sometimes does a continuous reboot loop, killing the battery life.

I believe it's the same problem as many of you, where it reboots when it sleeps and not when you're using it. Is this a bug in the original NC or in autonooter?

Anyways, here's how I fixed it:

Install CPU Tuner (free), grant it root permissions

Change the CPU in all the power profiles to "ondemand"

Reboot

Go back to CPU Tuner, and change the CPU in all the power profiles back to "conservative"

And now it hasn't rebooted on me in the last 30hrs.

*Note: the switch back to "conservative" CPU settings only apply when the NC is running "on battery" and "screen locked". Any power profile that is set when the NC is running "on power" can be "ondemand" or "performance".

I think this is very similar to the SetCPU fix above (I based my little experiment off of those posts). After you're done, play around with CPU Tuner settings and you can extend your battery life too!
[Nook Color General] ThrowingKs:
Checking this out. Thank you for the hint. Can we disable CPU Tuner, or does it always have to run?
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
Mine has not rebooted in probably 1.5 days here as well, last I looked at the uptime widg. Nice to not have to worry about it.

Mine is just set to ondemand for all profiles, I might try setting it back to conservative to see if that reduces battery usage while using it. I see 12%/hr while I am actively using it which seems high, but nearly 0/hr when in standby.
[Nook Color General] bartimeus:
Yes, seconded. Can we disable this?

Also, if I uninstall this, everything will go back to normal, right?
[Nook Color General] hliew88:
Well I actually never tried switching it back to "ondemand" or uninstalling it because I want to keep my rather powersaving tweaks as is. I would think that switching it back to "ondemand" should really have no problem, but if an uninstall reverts it to default settings, then maybe it'll show up again. Anyone try it yet?
[Nook Color General] Mikroft:
Using SetCPU. With Conservative setting on it still rebooted on me. Now running the ondemand profile.
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
No reboots here for 2.5 days... using ondemand for all profiles, only real change is wifi turns off when the screen is off, I have seen it uses a lot of battery with wifi on and screen off. Uses almost zero if I turn off wifi.
[Nook Color General] Mikroft:
Wifi has always turned off when the screen is off. Unless you've used spare parts to change the wifi sleep policy to always on.
[Nook Color General] rckymtnrfc:
Have mine set to ondemand for all profiles and its still rebooting when the screen turns off.
[Nook Color General] doomstalk:
I used to have the same problem until I wiped my nook and re-rooted it. I suspect the issue had to do with apps and widgets that try to wake the device up from sleep mode. In specific, I think the official Weather Channel widget was the problem for me. It's the only thing I didn't reinstall, but I haven't had the problem since. Unfortunately, I don't have any logs or empirical evidence to back it up, so take my conjectures with a grain of salt.
[Nook Color General] rckymtnrfc:
I think I am going to wipe and reroot once I get back home from my holiday trip. (If my bro doesn't steal my Nook....he keeps referring to it as 'his".)

Then I am going to install apps one at a time over a few days and see if I can figure out the problem app.
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
Except that I have found it isn't always. I might try it again to see.
[Nook Color General] eyecrispy:
FYI, i'm on 1.0.0 rooted with auto-nooter and mine reboots here and there as well. so, it's not just a 1.0.1 thing.
[Nook Color General] MadMikeSS:
so how many folks who are experiencing the random resets did the auto-config after rooting?
[Nook Color General] long2know:
I too have been having reboots nearly EVERY time my NC goes into sleep mode. It would even almost seem like infinite reboots for me because after it reboots, sits for a while, and goes back into sleep mode, it would just reboot again. It was really annoying.

I installed SetCPU and changed my profiles to ondemand, and I haven't had a reboot while entering sleep mode yet. So far, this seems like a viable fix.
[Nook Color General] mastroiani:
Does anyone have SMART BAR app installed? I used to have Advanced Task killer installed and when I uninstalled that app my NC didn't seem to reboot fro couple of days. Then I installed SMART BAR and reboots resumed. I really like this app and don't want to uninstall it. But it might be causing the reboots
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
Nope, not installed here. I tried that app but just didn't like it.
[Nook Color General] Profondo_Rosso:
I'm also having reboot issues. It seems to be related to the screen dimming, at least for me.
[Nook Color General] bdcrim:
I did that as well. It lasted about 6 hours, now rebooting constantly.
[Nook Color General] Mikroft:
Mine still reboots with ondemand but far less often. Not too big a deal for now since it only does it once when it goes to sleep.
[Nook Color General] bdcrim:
Strange thing. I turned wifi off and let it sleep. Had to wake it up. Wifi runs automatically I assume, disengages when the screen is off. No issues overnight. I woke up and nook was still asleep.
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
My nook rebooted 3 times in the last 36 hours, much better than before. I haven't tried removing the CPU setting program, as that'd certainly let it go back to conservative just to see if the reboots came back... I might try that later.
[Nook Color General] rickrich:
This is what I do. Works fine until it goes to sleep with the WiFi connected. Then it reboots at random. But with the WiFi set to "off", it stays asleep. So, I just set WiFi to off before going to sleep.
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
Maybe that's the final bit of magic sauce... I'll have to keep that one in mind.
[Nook Color General] RChadwick:
Mine also reboots frequently when it goes to sleep... Not always. I don't think it ever rebooted while I was using it. Will try the Wi-Fi trick...
[Nook Color General] ph00ny:
same here

and i don't have any of the apps mentioned in the earlier posts
[Nook Color General] hliew88:
Right Wi-fi...

Using CPUTuner, I have my processor settings on conservative and the wi-fi settings as "leave unchanged", even for "screen off". However, I did also leave background sync as "leave unchanged" instead of "enable" for the other profiles.

I find that my wi-fi doesn't turn off when I put it to sleep (Pandora continues playing, Gmail continues syncing), but oddly enough, it seems to have to re-search for wi-fi again every time it turns back on (sometimes it fails to connect).

So wi-fi is probably not the problem.
[Nook Color General] mastroiani:
Good news on my Nook Color. I installed SetCPU, set it to On Demand, activated the profile and since then I haven't had any reboots. Thanks to the person who suggested it.
[Nook Color General] eyecrispy:
I went almost 24 hrs without a reboot after i used setCPU but a few min ago, i put down my NC and it decided to do a reboot. :( so for me, at least, this hasn't solved my reboot issue.

[Nook Color General] swapdotavi:
Problem is still kicking around for me on 1.0. I've tried it without setcpu, and with setcpu using the suggested settings. Still reboots itself now and again, but it's pretty infrequent.
[Nook Color General] eyecrispy:
Yea, it is better than before. The weird thing about my last reboot is that i don't think the screen had gone to sleep yet.

[Nook Color General] rickrich:
With Wifi Off??? Works for me with Wifi OFF.
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
I just said this in the other exactly-the-same-thread-that-should-be-merged.. ;)

Heh, I've considered [the magnet in the case is causing it].. Also considered the mystery sensor to the left of the Nook button too.. Nook is afraid of the dark. :eek:

Seriously though, with the CPU guvna' set to ondemand and wifi turned OFF before I power it off I haven't seen it reboot yet. It rebooted once yesterday and I know it had wifi left on as I had just been using it and didn't turn it off before it went to sleep.

So totally making up numbers here....

Default CPU governor + wifi on = 30% chance it's gonna reboot when it goes to sleep..

ondemand governor + wifi on = 20% chance it's gonna reboot

ondemand govenor + wifi off = <10% chance it's gonna reboot (not gonna even say 0 here.. heh)
[Nook Color General] MedSchool26:
So is it to be expected that if we root the NC it's going to have rebooting issues?

I'm definitely going to be holding off until this is either definitely fixed or another root method, or custom roms. I had to deal with random reboots on the Evo (before I got my replacement) - people told me "it's app X; it's setting Y; it's etc etc" - NOTHING worked. What did work was getting a new Evo. Definitely don't want to see that again
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
Keep in mindbit never does it during use, only when it is left alone, plus it reboots in like 45s. Obviously not ideal but it never reboots in use and greatly reduced when tweaked and wifi turned off.
[Nook Color General] eyecrispy:
It is worth the rebooted to have a rooted device. Very annoying but tolerable.

Sent from my XDA app on my Nook Color
[Nook Color General] MedSchool26:
Usually I'd agree, but in the case of the Evo, it started with "reboots when using data with the screen on" and progressed in a seemingly step-wise fashion to eventually rebooting all the time with no trigger

Just worried that's all :)
[Nook Color General] jadambpharm:
FIX (ish) ????

Ok. This worked for me. Can some of you other auto-rebooters try it out and let us know how it works for you?

Download Setting Profiles Lite from the market. Under the Profiles tab, create a new one and have everything unchecked and un-starred except WiFi (gold star), which means it will Turn OFF WiFi.

Under the Rules tab, create a new one with Conditions: Screen off and Actions: Activate (whatever you named that profile you just created). I don't think priority matters, but I put it on 'Highest'

This will turn WiFi off whenever the Nook's screen goes off - I think this worked for me since it does this independent of the Nook's handling of WiFi. Sure you're losing WiFi when the screen is off, but at least it wont continually reboot - which means WiFi would be off most of the time anyway and you'd get no email, etc notifications that way either :)

Thanks to RoboRay for pointing me towards Setting Profiles and the idea!
[Nook Color General] rickrich:
I have done this right now. Will let you know after 24 hours - but it looks great judging by my home router: Nook screen Off -> wifi off.
[Nook Color General] docfreed:
Also Using Settings Profile Lite

And was rebooting often - since following this idea, no reboots for one hour - will report tomorrow after more time.

Seems a great find!
[Nook Color General] Mikroft:
That's a great idea. Didn't even think of it even though I use the same app on my phone.
[Nook Color General] silivrenion:
Using Setting Profiles works. You're even better off if you get the full version and put both wifi on and off profiles in there.
[Nook Color General] RoboRay:
I'm glad this seems to be working. :)

I do something similar for notification sounds on my phone, turning them off by activating a timed profile at my normal bed-time and then back on in the morning.
[Nook Color General] rckymtnrfc:
I rerooted yesterday because somehow my Nook unrooted itself while I slept. I woke to a little grren N in the corner letting me know I was now on 1.0.0. Not really sure what happened but it did.

Since rerooting I have slowly been adding a few apps and I am currently at 24 hours uptime according to my little widget. I even walk over to my Nook now and then and unlock it....just to force it to go back to sleep and reboot....but not a single reboot so far.

There must be an app or widget that was causing the rebooted because for me its gone. The longest I ever made it before was 9 hours before a reboot....but on average it was maybe 4 hours.

I am going to continue to add an app or two each day so that hopefully I can find out who isn't playing nice with our Nooks. I will let you all know if it returns.
[Nook Color General] docfreed:
Could you please list those apps that you find NOT to cause rebooting - I'm sure it could be a great help.

Before I set up Settings Profiles, I uninstalled most of my favorites, e.g., Desktop Visualizer, Home Switcher, etc.) - I want to know if they are the issure w/rebooting
[Nook Color General] jadambpharm:
i think, from the limited time I've used this... this 2nd profile step MAY not be necessary. my nook seems to reconnect automatically. ill have to test some more. but thanks again!

also, I've changed nothing else from old rebooting nook so i can confirm that (at least for me) this is a true fix. there may be an app that is causing the problem but I'd rather keep everything i have already and just add a fix for now :-)
[Nook Color General] rckymtnrfc:

I never had any reboots until I set the permission to install non market apps.

Immediately after I had my first reboot when the unit went into sleep mode.
[Nook Color General] ph00ny:
Someone posted in another thread that his/her nook is rebooting due to movements and mine seem to be similar

I think every time it rebooted was when i put it down after usage never during usage or long idle time
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
Doubt this, I've often used mine stationary on my desk and it does it, but it could add to the problem I suppose.... Like having Wifi on adds to the issue.
[Nook Color General] rckymtnrfc:
I sent mine to be able to accept non-market apps right after rooting using Nookcolor Tools and still haven't had a reboot...so I don't think that is the cause. Was there anything else you may have installed around the same time.

I added Pure Calendar Widget last night...still no rebooting. I think I am at 1 day, 16 hours uptime.
[Nook Color General] spikey911:
Mine does it when the screen goes into sleep mode at random.

I don't mind at all since it refreshes the unit.
[Nook Color General] rickrich:
NO reboots after 24 hours. Screen off -> wifi off. Screen on brings wifi on - no extra work necessary. Using "Settings Profiles Lite".
[Nook Color General] lopezpm:
Did most people with issues root with auto-nooter? Also do you have a link to the "previous method". I'm getting a NC today and want to be prepared. I'm somewhat familiar with adb and rooting as I rooted my EVO with adb when it was first released.
[Nook Color General] rckymtnrfc:
I used autonooter and no reboot issues yet, currently at 2 days 1 hour. I don't think it's the fault of autonooter.....it's got to be an app/widget. I added 2 more Catch and Beautiful Skies LWP. Eventually I'll find out the offending app.

No issues after one day using Settings Profile Lite (rooted with Autonooter).

Finally got a reboot after 2 days and about 4 hours. I just went to check it and I was at 54 mins since last reboot. This happened after I installed Weather & Toggle Widget this afternoon.

I have uninstalled Weather & Toggle and let you guys know if I go back to not rebooting. I've been waking it up and letting it go to sleep and so far it's not rebooting.

I rooted mine with auto-nooter over 2 weeks ago now. Not a single reboot, have installed a bunch of apps, always have wifi on, B&N stuff enabled, been in and browsed B&N shop several times, etc.
[Nook Color General] rckymtnrfc:
I really think it's Weather & Toggle Widgets. I'm at 18 hours since that one reboot with it installed, since I uninstalled it....the problem is gone. And I am not using the Settings Profile fix the others are trying. I think that may help but I thought some other said they were still getting the reboot.

Now there could be other widgets causing the same problem but I haven't seen it with the ones I have running now. Are any other 'rebooters' using Weather & Toggle Widgets? I know it's pretty popular.
[Nook Color General] rickrich:
Only have Angry Birds and Profiles Lite. Other than what autonook installed.

Fix

I have had rhe same problem. Specifically it occurred when i had wifi on, the soft keys with root access on, and the nook would go to sleep. I realized it was the soft overlay keys that caused the problem and i uninstalled them. i now use button savior from the market with no problems and no resets. hope it works for you.let me know.
[Nook Color General] GorillaPimp:
Trying that now. Thanks.
[Nook Color General] GorillaPimp:
Your alternate wiki fix hasn't worked for me. Modding the cpu governor settings made my Nook reboot more frequently. Restoring the NC to its previous state returned the reboots to about one per day.

Weird, as it's helped a lot of people in this thread and from what I've seen on the IRC channel too. BTW, not "my" fix, I just documented it in the wiki. :)

However, the real fix is Wifi off at standby, mine hasn't rebooted since. But some people really want Wifi on all the time.
