what rom are you using? do you have the phone OCed?

im using this ROM

OCed=over clocked

the phone being over clocked is one of the most common reasons for random reboots.
if you do not have phone over clocked you could try doing a full wipe and reflashing the rom.

Has this been happening since you flashed the ROM?

no i had the ROM installed for like2 months and like a week ago I started to expirience random reboots  

did you flash anthing over the ROM like a new kernel anything

no

have you tried to do a full wipe ( maybe use ngiordano's super wipe patch
and re-flashing the origianl rom. dont restore any of your apps and see if you still get the reboots

how do i use the super wipe 

You flash it in recovery. After it's complete wipe data/factory reset to stop the script. Flash the ROM.

ok

Also, it could be the phones hardware causing the reboots.

im gettin a new phone soon so it doesnt really matter

guys i did every thing u guys told me to do and im still getting the RANDOM reboots 

Probably a hardware problem, I have that problem too, although I get 4-8 reboots a day

so ur sayin that because of hacking it alot, this is the results???

No no. Just wear and tear or a defect or maybe an aging device

and one more question

and im thinkin of hacking it to 

Bro, no phone from MetroPCS is worth buying, MetroPCS is not even worth signing up to

If you want a good affordable device, head down to Best Buy, and get yourself a Nexus S for T-Mobile, it will cost you $100 but that device is great for hacking and it supports many incredible ROMs, like Cyanogenmod and MIUI

im moving out of t-mobile because i cant afford it anymore

T-Mobile's new Value Plans sound pretty affordable, unlimited everything, not to mention good service for about $60 a month, sounds like a good deal

Folks, I have to say that after flashing Cyan 7 (multiple different nightlies) I began experiencing these reboots as well.  Actually, I have 3 Cliqs for everyone in my family and after flashing all 3 with the latest Cyan 7 they are all experiencing this problem.  They never did it before....how can you explain that?  Its NOT hardware..

With 20some thousand people running CM7 and not having many issues I think it would do to ask a couple questions...like have you used ngiordanos super wipe patch recently...the latest nightlies are a different android version and may require a good wiping. Also, are you overclocking...not all phones are created equal and handle overclocking the same...and are you using the latest kernel posted in the main CM7 thread....just to start....

I know jethro thats what is making this so damn confusing.  I have only used the superwipe that was included in the original download of the full package. Not sure if its the same one...the strange thing is that this ROM was awesome at first and did not reboot for like the first week or so...then it began doing it more consistantly each day. I tried setting the clock speeds to the lowest values to rule out the OC issues as well.  I will give the ngiordanos superwipe a shot and see if it helps.  I absolutely LOVE the ROM so I hope it works out.  I will keep everyone informed if it does...thanks for the reply!  Just curious, what nightly are you using?

I am using full 50 and the latest kernel #13 I believe not overclocked. Wipe patch and kernel is in the first couple post in the CM7 thread. Try one phone first just to see and if your backing up data do not restore system data...only stuff like apps and contacts and texts....

@Sallan513 - were not saying ALL random reboots are caused by hardware. You need to test it by flashing a stock firmware and use it at least for 24hrs to see if the reboots occur.
Also Nightly builds are TEST ROMs not Stable release ROMs. But if you follow the CM7 thread OCing isn't really needed and there is also a different kernel to flash that will improve performance, reduce heat issues (which could lead to random reboots) and fix a few other issues.

OK, just downloaded Full 50, Super-Wipe and the #13 fix.

Did a Super-Wipe in recovery mode (twice), flashed Full 50, flashed #13, re-installed Google Apps PAK and left all settings alone in the Performance settings.  Will let ya know how I make out...

In "About Phone" (let me know if anything looks wrong to you please?

Android Version 2.3.5

Baseband version 76xxc-63805025-5dcbalum

Kernel version 2.6.29.6

Mod version Cyanogenmod-7-07272011-nightly-cliq

Kernel version also reads nelson@nelson-w3650 #13
I forgot to mention but fixing permissions under advanced in recovery never hurts.
Really hope this works out for you

ahhh..different Kernel? Mine says nelson@nelson-W3650 #6

Didnt do the fix permissions but I will get in there now and do that...

Think I need to do anything about the Kernel number difference?
