Xoom Reboots when muiltitasking it seems.

[Sh4dowsjudgment]

Title says it all, its done it since I got the thing REALLY annoying. Example, im going to listen to music and look at pictures. Simple right? wrong, after a couple minutes of doing this it freezes, then restarts. Even when im browsing music, just browsing music, or JUST playing a game, it will eventually lock-up and reboot. I figured an update would fix this but it hasent, is my device defective? I got it opened from best buy. Please help quick, im on a 2 day leave then i ship over seas then ill be stuck with a brick thanks in advance.

It seems defective.
But maybe some information can give us more hints: are you rooted? Are you using the stock kernel or another one? The Xoom always rebooted since you bought it, or is it a recent thing?

I would have to agree with Jay sounds like a defect..I would call the store up asap and inform them of this..Welcome to the forum

In this case, it seems really better if you return it.

Don't listen to them!! What are they talking about? WTFg defective? It's completely OS problem. Exactly when you open a lot of programs it goes in random restart. I having the same problem, got my device from amazon. I gonna try v 4.0 to run and will see if it will solve the problem.

Don't think it's an OS problem, I run quite a few programs at a time and haven't had any restarts at all. I'd say definitely a defective unit.

Could u say what model do you have? Mine is wifi only US. Try ro play in a hard game than switch to movie and watch it for about hour. Nothing says about hardware defect - no overheat, no mechanical damages. Running beta of 4.0 showed no restarts since yesterday.

I have a US WiFi only, mine is rooted with a custom kernel too. I don't remember ever getting a reboot before I rooted it either, they no 2 Xooms are alike.
