Hello,

I have a Verizon RAZR that has been giving me some trouble for quite some time now. It works flawlessly, except that randomly, it will reboot. Once it restarts from that point it goes into boot loop. That is, it restarts then about 30 seconds in or so it will restart and repeat the process. The restart is just the Android OS since it doesn't show the boot logo. The only remedy to this seems to be by doing a hard reset, by holding the volume down and power button. I recorded the system log, but I can't say I know enough about Android to fully understand what's happening. Anyhow here is the section of the log where I believe the problem started and shortly after the device crashes. Any help would be greatly appreciated with this issue. Thanks in advance.

I finally found the problem! It was AutoKiller PRO, a memory management app I had purchased. Apparently as you can see from the above logs, it was causing havok on the phone. Uninstalling the app does not change the constant restart problem. The only way to stop the problem is to reset to factory, flash the rom you like, then restore all your apps via Titanium Backup, except for AutoKiller Pro. After doing this I have found everything works perfectly again. I also reinstalled AutoKiller Pro once more to verify it was indeed the problem. After doing that, it yet again started its reboots. So needless to say I reset, reflashed, and reinstalled all apps but AutoKiller Pro, and everything works without a problem. I hope this helps others with this issue.

It probably was caused because AK Pro was assigned to kill a needed task for Android to run.
