How do I find out why my DX is rebooting?

[JCizzle93]

I've made two threads and everyone said the only way i could find out is by rooting, so now im rooted, running 2.3.4 (4.5.621) I have done multiple factory resets and its still rebooting randomly. So how can i find out whats causing it and prevent it?

Download logcat from the market, its free, and run it, next random reboot, open it and take a screen shot of the random reboot lines, then post it so we can see it

my phone just rebooted and i just realized you said run it after i downloaded it >.< im running it now, but the log is so big.

It's not easy to read but you can hit menu then pause it right when you open it after a reboot, this makes it easier to find the reboot section

everytime it reboots, i open it and pause it and i start going through it to see if i can find the rebooting part it than it makes the log blank and everything reappears and it continues to make logs when it says "Paused"; is there any way i can use a filter to make it easier to find it? and how do i know which part is about the reboot?

Unfortunately, the log with logcat will clear when it reboots. There are other ways to pull it though. Essentially, you'll need to connect it to a PC and have it reboot while it's connected (there's some setup first unless you already have ADB installed). Can you cause a situation to make it reboot again or is it rebooting often enough to catch a random reboot? Basically, if you can't setup a situation where it reproduces the reboot, how long are you willing to leave the phone connected to a PC?
