Wirelessly posted (Verizon 8830)

Pull out your media card and see what happens.

I tried all that and have tried clearing up data and browser history , cookies and have now approx 19mb of available memory. I am going to see if the device restarts again.,,

will keep you all updated...otherwise will a reinstall of the OS help ?

Thanx

Hi team

I reloaded the latest Rogers OS and it still restarted. ..but now I realise that it restarts due to the following :

1. Due to the media card.
2. when I happen to shake the device it restarts.

I read in this forum that the shaking results in the battery loosening up a bit and the device restarts. I have now inserted a piece if plastic between the battery and the device....

but the media card is resulting in the device restarting frequently....continously...

any suggestions ?

Default I am the same problem, restarts frequently

It happened after I installed O.S. 4.5. After downgrading, I could not get rid of the problem. Now that you suggest it is the media card, I will try to see what will happen without the media card.

Yes. I know when I mentioned it earlier it may have sounded bizarre
Either reformat the media card or try a new media card. I suspect that it may solve your problem.
