-
Issue reported on stock ROM as well. /e/OS developers are working with Fairphone developers for a resolution. Team has not been able to reproduce the issue. Request users facing this issue to share logs in the issue on gitlab . We are looking for details like the Service Provider details, information if reboot happened while travelling anything specific.
-
Also wanted to confirm if the reboots started with v3.1.1 or were you experiencing them earlier as well.
Logs we require
We need two logs. Log 1: Boot Sequence Log The goal here is to capture the entire boot process, from the very start until the device is fully ready. Trigger the Boot: Manually reboot the phone. Start the log as soon as the Fairphone splash logo is shown adb logcat -b all > boot_log.txt Stop the Log: Wait until you see the homescreen and the device is fully settled. Log 2: Continuous Log until Issue Occurs The goal here is to capture a long-running log that will catch the moment the issue happens. Trigger the Boot: Manually reboot the phone. Start the log as soon as the Fairphone splash logo is shown adb logcat -b all > continuous_log.txt Reproduce the Issue: Do not stop the log. Keep it running until the phone automatically reboots on it’s own, ie. reproducing the issue mentioned
