Motorola Xoom keeps rebooting itself during use.

[Neolo]

Mine once locked its self completely and it could not be powered down. I removed the back panel (slides off after the two screws and clips are released and uudid the battery connections. Re-assembled and its been fine for 6 months. You can find instructions for changing the battery on a Xoom on Technet - I think, anyway a google search will find it..

Problem discussed here a bit different. In your case was just enough to press Pwr Button+ Vol Up xD but not using screwdriver lol.

I forgot to say that in 4 of 5 cases when copying large files, it reboots. May it to be an internal storage problem, corruption, bad clusters etc? Is it possible to check it and repair somehow if problem really there?
By the way, I did your suggestion about 3 times wiping of cache and reflash rom to stock, doesn't help at all.

grasping at straws here but have you tried taking out the sd card (assuming you have inserted one) and letting it run for a bit? A bad sd card could cause a lot of problems.

It happened even without sd card inserted.

just saw this on the motorola forum. a user had a problem with it rebooting when connected to the internet but it stopped doing that when they turned off the wifi. the fix was to set the connection to static on the xoom.

Thanks but doesn't help. No matter with or without internet connection. It still reboots in what ever time it want. But only if any activity is present, otherwise in idle mode there is no reboots. Maybe other suggestions? By the way, I heard that a lot of people plagued by this problem on new Xoom 2. Today one guy was asking me in desperate about similar problem he got on Xoom 2. For me it feels like dead end in this story.

I am having the exact same issue with this device. (to the letter!)

Have tried all methods listed that you have.

I run an IT company and can safely say this is the more difficult and disappointing device I have ever had the mispleasure of work with. I have tried many many distributions of ROMs, software, 'rooting' flashing ASD clearing caches yada yada yada.

Safe to say your problem is not just with your device.

Glad to hear
One thing I noticed, it's that if you will overclock it to 1500 or 1600 - less reboots are occurs, but still not a solution.

I would say at this point if you tried all the normal things you probably have a defective device. It happens. Hopefully it is still under the one year warranty and can be returned.

Don't you notice that there is too many of such devices are sold? I took it from USA to Europe, and I don't have an Motorola warranty repair center in country. To send it back to US would be like to buy a new one tablet here...
