[Q] Random Restarts - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, anybody getting random restarts with this phone? I've been getting them approx once a day, I factory reset and thought the problem had disappeared but it has started again.
I haven't flashed with any ROM's, on standard firmware and I only have speedtest and wallpapers...no other apps.
Cheers

Nope... had mine in 5 days now, never happened.

Looking at my ROM it looks rather old:
i9100XXKDH
I9100XWKDC

0 restarts so far

Yes. I've had the phone about a week and it's happened about 3 times. I only just saw the last one as the media scanner was starting. The only good side, is the phone boots really quickly

During normal usage, phone kept rebooting five to six times in quick succession (happened twice) upon media scanning. Seems that my Apacer 16GB MicroSDHC doesn't play ball with it; ever since I've removed the memory card, the rebooting just went away.

Always worth backing up data factory reset and wipe restore apps but not system files

Hhmmm it's a possibility, I also have 16Gb card in mine and this was directly transferred from my old android phone. Perhaps I should re-format it.
Thing is it doesn't do it lots as you describe and will happily play music all day...it's just completely random.

Started with a clean slate by reformatting the SDHC using the SGSII, rebooting came back shortly after. Running on stock ROM.

Oh well there goes that idea! Wasn't looking forward to putting all my music back on anyways

Mine rebooted exiting a game as a friend was trying out hte phone earlier.... oops

Can anyone with the reboot issue please post firmare that is on your phone please? I'm almost certain it's related to this.

Interesting. I also have a 16GB MicroSDHC in mine. I didn't format it either. I just used it straight from my Galaxy Tab. I wonder if it should be formatted.

My firmware as follows:

Mine is the same baseband version but I9100XWKDC....so even older!

The ones that are reporting random restarts are in the main original firmware that came with the phone in the first few weeks .
Been 3 firmware updates released since .
jje

Not once has mine rebooted on its own.
I have a 16GB microSD, latest firmware etc...

I'm desperate to update through Kies as I don't want to invalidate my warrenty but it's just saying 'device version cannot be updated'. It's not locked so I don't know why I can't.
TBH last time I had a Samsung I had issues, should have known better :/

Hey I have the exact same firmware. Have you updated your phone? Did the rebooting stop after you updated your firmware? Even though the phone rebooting doesn't affect me much but then I find it really annoying that it reboots randomly.

Random Reboots, I'm baffled

Hey guys, is anyone else getting these random reboots? Its happened several times now and I got the phone on Friday morning. Last time it happened ( 10 min ago), i was in XDA app. When it reboots the red charging LED comes on for a second. I have no idea why its doing this.
Return it.
Are you sure I should return it already? I was wondering if maybe it was common among many people.
Sounds like a faulty phone, simply go get another one. Sprint knows there is going to be issues and will be happy to replace them. I nor my friends have had a problem with it yet.
yeh sounds defective...i haven't had a single non-initiated reboot since wednesday...

Ehh alright i really didn’t want to have to return it or anything. Guess I'll take it to sprint later this week
At least do a clear storage first. Then see. That's probably the first thing they would do... and then they would tell you to come back if the problem continues. This way, you have at least eliminated that as a possibility. Also, what all did you install? This could be an app doing it.
Yuppers...no reboots here. Not since the Hero days I'd say its an app or your phone.

Hmm true, Im guessing an app is eating my ram because I constantly.have over 50% used

I just got a random reboot while using speedtest.net app. I ran like 4 in a row, then suddenly it shut down and booted up. I am pretty sure I'll be returning mine, as I've had a slew of other random bugs/issues going on. I was trying to determine if it's just buggy software, or if there is a problem with the phone.
What other issues do you,have? I noticed one otjer thing that htcs task.manager and the built in running services from the settings app show different amounts of memory and amt used/free. I'm betting this is just software issue. I really dont want to have return and resetup my phone

Get all the updates and then do a factory reset and see how it works after that.
I had the random reboots. I tried hard reset without any apps and without setting up email and I'd still get the reboots randomly. I exchanged it for another one at Bestbuy and I haven't had a single reboot since. Even with all my apps, email, and calendars setup. I'd return it! Also, I did not install the updates on either phone. I just tried the speedtest.net app four times in a row and I did not get any reboots. Let me know if you want me to check out anything else.
I was having the same problem before and after otas. I was also getting a blank screen once in a while too. I got mine wed and probably pulled the battery about 20 times. Finally broke down and did a factory reset by holding the volume key down when powering on and selecting factory reset. Its been fine so far. I also wiped 16gb sd card from evo, formated it in phone and only copied media files over.

I did the same as you too. It seemed better at first but then it started again. I also found that after erasing the sd card with the phone I had folders that where inaccessible after android created the new ones. I ended up formatting the card with windows and deselected the quick format option. That fixed the problem with the sd card. Note all this stuff was with my first phone. The replacement has been flawless.
I'm gonna hold out another week, if I get any reboots in that time, it's back to sprint for a new one.
I got mine on Friday, then all of a sudden out of no where I started getting random reboots last night about every 10 minutes, then when I was able to get it to stay on for a while the screen would just go black and the buttons stay lit up though. Oddly enough it was doing that all last night and all this morning, until about 9 this morning and since then it's been running fine. I was able to track down my problem somewhat at least, for some reason it kept trying to sync my exchange account and it was unable to sync, and every time i tried to open up that email account to delete it, the screen would go blank. Even though everything is working know I'm still going to the sprint store today to see if they will exchange it.

Potential Fix For Random Reboots

Ok, so I just got a replacement phone a couple of days ago after my last one got smashed (don't ask =() but I've noticed that this one kept randomly rebooting. I thought it might have had to do with the fact that I just did a nandroid restore from the other phone plus sd card without wiping anything. I tried wiping things, nothing. I did a RUU restore, still crashed.
I was going to try S-ON until I ran a thread on the same issue happening on the EVO 4G and someone solved it by flashing a different radio on it. The one that came with my replacement is the 0.97.10.0530 version, I restored it to 0.97.00.0518 (the one I had on my original 3D). Since then I haven't noticed any more random reboots (I found that I could actually reproduce the error by turning wifi on and off).
Is this an actual fix or did my phone magically fix itself? I'm asking because if it it's just temporary and irrelevant to the radio flash, I want to exchange it within the 7 days the insurance company gives me.
I hope you did not restore your Wimax keys from the other device!!
If you did, bye- bye 4g...you erased your unique keys to your new phone.
I haven't looked into the issue one bit as mine has never rebooted, but with other phones 99% of the time its kernel related
I take that back, it worked for the longest time then out of nowhere, it started doing the random reboots again. After that I tried to restore it completely to stock with s-on and reroot it. Worked for a while as well and it started crapping out again. Getting a replacement shipped overnight.
And I didn't restore wimax from old phone =p
I'm also having the random reboot issue. I'm still within my 30 days but I don't believe its a hardware problem. Seems to me that it only occurs when connected to WiFi. Can others confirm this is the case for them also?

the random reboots has to do with the cache not the hardware. When you have too much memory in the cache, the OS freaks out and reboots. I had the same issue a week into having my phone, got it replaced, and the new one did the same thing.
My fix was to clear the cache using the app2sd app from the market, turn off the phone, remove the battery and leave it out for 5 minutes, put the battery back in, and turn it on. I haven't had a random reboot since.

See that's whats weird. I would just do that, have it turn on (and not interact with it) and then after a bit I'd turn the screen on, it would just crash and reboot.
Evo2dn, I find I can reproduce it if I toggle wi-fi or any of the quick settings.
Good. Many good phones lost 4g that way.

mine did this a few times as well when i first got it.
it was pretty random, but mine would also do it if i left the phone in my pocket for an extended amount of time it seemed, or for some reason it seemed related to that. i was wrong, however.
i replaced the SD card, never happened again.
you have to remember that your phone is a computer.... and computers will reboot to check a bad disk.... that was the issue with mine.
not saying this is YOUR particular issue, but your problems are consistent with what mine was doing before i figured out what was wrong with it.
one way i knew for a fact it was my SD taking a **** on me was when i would try to move applications from the internal mem to the SD, i would get this error "failed to move application"... i would try again, and it would go. this was also a randomly occurring event, and was not related to some particular app...
before i replaced the SD card i moved all my apps from the card to the internal mem of the phone...
when i replaced it, booted up, and attempted to move the applications back to the SD card.... EVERY one of them moved without a single error.
try replacing your sd card.
Mine would reboot randomly, and have the terrible bsod. I thought I was going to break the back because of how many I had to take it off.
Luckily, after flashing gb-sense I haven't had a single problem. Now I am on Synergy 468, and it hasn't happened on it either. I'm guessing it was software related.
I tried changing my SD card, wasn't it, I have two 6gb ones and my 32 gig one I use, formatted it just in case as well, nothing, still crashes.
Mine does it on every rom I tried it on, inducing the default Sense ROM. I agree that issues like these are usually software based but I have tried everything I can possibly imagine plus everything else I read from other people and it still crashes. It is probably hardware.
I too have tried different SD cards with same result. I was also getting the BSOD prior to taking all the OTA updates. After taking the updates, I'm no longer getting the BSOD but the reboot still remains.
So I got my replacement phone and restored it exactly how my original replacement was and have had zero problems.
So I think it's safe to say that although not all the time, this can be a hardware issue. Only the problem with this one is a stuck white pixel on the bottom left. But I'll live

im going on my 3rd replacement , has anyone who has cliamed to have fixed there problem really fixed it? have your fixes really ixed your reboot issue.?.
Put me in the group too...
On 2.3.3 I never got a random reboot. But when I overclocked at ALL it would eventually BlackSoD. But now that I'm on 2.3.4 it seeks that has been replaced with random rebooting. I've used Synergy pretty exclusively buy have switched to try and find a Rom that doesn't do this!. I'm currently on Warm TwoPointThree. Did a full wipe and install and in the middle of restoring user apps with titanium backup it rebooted. Been on the Rom for 9hrs (mostly asleep) and its rebooted 3 times already.
Yea, my as well. I have been running SteelH's rom. I'm sure it's not related, it happened witha previous mod as well. It does seem to happen more often on wifi, but I've noticed it with it off as well. I have had both issues with my phone restarting... but more often than not the issue has been that it would freeze all together and I would have to pull the battery.
Strange thing is, there are times where it happens 3 times in a day... then I can go 3 days and not have it happen once.
I've been using cache cleaner and having it clear my cache on it's own twice a day. Been doing this for 2 days so far and haven't had a reset. I will let you all know if that does any good in a few days.

A few things I suggest to you guys (while searching for a fix on my defective phone, these seem to work for some people).
- Reflash kernel or even try a different one or return to stock.
- Factory reset and test it for a bit, THEN put stuff back on it
- Swap out SD cards and see if the phone is more stable, if so try to reformat card and try to use it again, if it persists, it could be a defective SD card.
- RUU recovery flash, turn S-ON then S-OFF after that and re-root.

SGS3 keeps rebooting randomly

My SGS3 works just fine for 2 weeks, until now.
Suddenly, it keeps randomly crashing and reboot into samsung s3 logo screen.
Oh, I have tried different roms (and stock rom also) but the crash still happen.
I also have tried wiping cache, dalvik, clean install, removing external sdcard, and restore factory setting. But none was effective.
Any ideas?
I had a similar issue with my Atrix and it turned out to be the SIM Card. Had it replaced and no more random reboots. I figured this out by checking the panic dumps...maybe there is a similar way to check this on the SGS3

Thanks for the response.. I tried it just a moment ago without sim card, and it still got the random reboot..
Any other people who got the same problem?
Is the phone unusually warm? The phone will automatically reboot if it overheats, but that wouldn't normally happen unless it's been left in the sun or overclocked.
I can get mine to go into a reboot loop if I play Asphalt 6 while outdoors, but the problem goes away as soon as I let it cool off for a minute or two.

yes, the phone (when i use it) is usually warm, but my phone also crashed while not in warm state.
but this crashing-reboot problem just show up after 2 weeks of normal (and not any crash experience) usage.
this crashing problem show up after i played temple run btw (not sure is relevant)

Sorry to hear that man. Had a SGS with same issues. maybe Samsung has hurried releasing galaxy S3
I'd factory reset and only put on the important apps you use. Depending how long it takes for you to normally get a reboot you can slowly add new apps back to narrow it down. I had the same problem last year and thought I had a bad sgs2. But it turned out to be dolphin hd browser at the time that caused it and haven't had a reboot in a year. It could be something similar in your case. Hopefully its software related and not hardware

i just tried flashing normal ROM, after booting to "get started" page, approximately 3~10 seconds, my sgs just rebooted over and over again, until it show only black screen with battery icon on it (i think it may be charging animation while the phone is turned off).
ahhhh this is driving me insane!!
update : i just flashed hypergalaxy ROM and currently it is stable and not experienced crashing (yet ).
i'll give further report later today

Have you tried reinstalling FW with Odin? If yes does it still reboot after a factory reset with nothing installed?
yes, i have tried flashing stock rom using odin a few hours ago, but the crashing still happen.
my sgs3 now stuck at boot-standby5sec-crash-reboot loop.
so, i decided to bring my sgs3 to samsung service center tomorrow. hope they will replace it with a new unit
UPDATE : Samsung replaced my new SGS3 with a new hardware (not sure new device though, the flash counter reset to zero )
the problem seems to be hardware related
thanks for all your reply to my problem

I am having the same issue, I've had my phone since Saturday (6/23/12) and it crashes, reboots, apps crash, internet crashes, email crashes, etc. I can udnerstand a lot of apps may not be updated to ICS.. but no matter what I do.. everything crashes.. It's a bit ridiculous. I am a prior iPhone 4S user and am probably going to return this phone. I can't do much without it crashing or the screen freezing.. not being able to do anything for 2-3 minutes, etc. And they couldn't port any of my numbers from my prior phone because they didn't have the software update to do so yet. So overall, bad experience with the Galaxy.. and maybe I should have waited longer before buying this phone to work all the problems.

I'm very sorry that u have these problems.but there will always manufacturing faults when making so many units.only one thing to do,return it and get a replacement.when u get a fully functional galaxy u won't regreat it,it's a awesome phone.Samsung usually replaces the phone,so I think they will do the same in your case.anyway best of luck
After all the problem I've been through, finally I send my phone back to samsung service center.. they tried to reinstall stock rom several times, and in the end, they change the IC board to a new one.. and it does solve my probs..
SGS3 tebooting
Hi guys here is a peace of my experience
Bought the phone last year in November .2 weeks everything fine then it starts rebooting itself.retun it to the mobile provider and get it back in 3 weeks with conclusion that they experience the reboots as well and that the phone had some kind of software issue.in 3 hours i was back in the shop with my phone rebooting again.they send it again to service got it back yesterday with 4.1.1 android and they sad it may be caused with wrong customizing or not supported sd card,turned on the phone and had few reboots manage to update to 4.1.2 and today heavy gaming internet etc and no reboots so far.will test it till wendsday and see what happens.if it will reboots again then its going back to service and this time it is the 3 time so i will get a new phone.

{HELP}{LG Optimus Net P690} Crash! Please get Ramdump!

Hi,
I've a problem with my LG optimus net p690.
Sometimes it crashes and says "Crash! Please get Ramdump!" I will remove the battery and re-insert it and it starts working. But it happens atleast 4-5 times a day. It will not happen for a specific application or something like that, it will when am listening to music, when i recieve a call/sms, while charging and even when kept idle.
I did factory reset a lot of time but no luck. It will happen in all the ROMs including stock rom. I even restored it to stock rom by kdz updater but still had no luck.
Any help regarding this?
Thanks

Have you tried to do an full restore or a full wipe? Flash another ROM maybe soves the problem. RAMDUMP, maybe is caused by an app. The app stays in the memory and don't get out. That's it.
wiped cache a lot of times

Yup, I did it every time when I changed the ROM.
It started even before I root the phone. But after wiping cache also same thing's happening

nik263, i went to service centre and they replaced some part and returned it tome. they took only an hour to replace the part. LG knows about the issue andd they are working on it. as a temp workaround they are changing that part. after they replaced the part drastically it came down. earlier i used to get it atleast 5 - 6 times a day now only once in a day i am getting it.
I get it very often. Unfortunately sometimes during phone calls. I can reproduce this issue whenever needed by switching on the radio while the music player is already running. BAD!!!

LG knows about the issue andd they are working on it. as a temp workaround they are changing that part. after they replaced the part drastically it came down. earlier i used to get it atleast 5 - 6 times a day now only once in a day i am getting it.

I get it very often. Unfortunately sometimes during phone calls. I can reproduce this issue whenever needed by switching on the radio while the music player is already running. BAD!!!

bud, goto service center and they will replace a part (didn't get a hint what they replaced) and will return it in couple of hours. after replacing it also am getting it but it is drastically reduced, now am getting may be once in a week or 10days. thats the only solution
But now my phone is rooted and have custom rom flashed. I was in an impression that they will not consider it for warranty. I do not have my original rom;s backup. How did u manage?

LG optimus P690 crash
Hi All,
Even I am getting that crash. I was trying to downlaod files via bluetooth yesterday, though the space in the SD was low.
It was a whole lot of memory, alteast larger than the space left in the SD.
When I took a look at it, it was sort of off.
Then I have to take the battery out and the I restarted it.
Even then it was getting off, just after I am getting the display screen.
This is happening since yesterday, and I have already switched off my phone for around 15 times.
I could see that there is less than 100 MB left on the SD card.
What I observe is that only if the SD card is getting loaded in the first few minutes, my phone is crashing. and if it is not loading I could work on it for some time.
Please figure this out and let me know
Thanks in advance,
Ravi
Having same problem here. IM getting ramdump more often when IM on stock ROM. Does this have anything to do with heap size

[Q] Task650 (4-14) - No Carrier Signal For Several Minutes After Boot

Been having a problem with Task's latest ROM (4-14) and the previous version (4-1). Both take several minutes to obtain carrier signal (AT&T) after booting. I've tried flashing with full wipe several times, different modems, and adjusting APN settings, but nothing fixed it. My phone usually picks up service after about 5 minutes, but sometimes I've waited 10+ minutes and had to reboot again, because it still hadn't connected. Also, maybe this is just how it's supposed to work, but I've noticed that while my phone has no service, if I go to System Settings->More->Mobile networks->Access Point Names there's nothing there at all. Just a blank window until it finally connects. Is anyone else having this problem or know of any possible solutions? Thanks!

Have you tries rebooting with airplane mode enabled and then disabling it when fully booted? This has worked for me in the past, although I've never had to wait as long as you've stated you have for a signal.

I tried this method and it didn't work for me , I even did a complete wipe and re-flashed the rom and gapps, I also re-flashed two separate modems amd was never able to connect to the mobile network. when I first flashed the ROM everything worked great, but when my device went to deep sleep it never came back

Thanks for the advice, but it's a no go. I reboot with airplane mode enabled, but when I disable it my phone still takes forever to get a signal.

I have the same problem despite wiping everything many times. mine take approx two minutes to get back the signals and meanwhile emei and baseband remains unknown.

Mine does exactly the same. Baseband is unknown and there's no IMEI info until it finally connects. I also noticed that under service state it said "radio off" until it connects and then changes to "in service".
That's very odd. It's not just this rom it does this on is it?

I went to the Jedi ROM with no issues....I've used tasks ROM since its infancy and never had one issue until this latest update. Kind of bummed. But in the same hand I'm liking the Jedi ROM also...:thumbup:

Yeah dude, I've been using Task's ROM for a while now and this has only started happening since the 4-1 version. I even flashed back to the 3-13 build just to make sure and this problem doesn't happen with that build. I was hoping the 4-14 build would fix it, but it didn't. I did see on Task's developer thread someone made a post about having this issue, but it looks like they never posted a logcat or anything to help Task resolve it. I would gladly post one if I could, but I'm new to XDA and they won't let me post on a developer thread.
i have same issues. along with my time going screwy from time to time.

I no longer have any issues with the time zone changing in the newest build (4-14). I don't know if you're on that build, but the workaround for that problem was to set your own time zone manually.

i am still on 4.1. i am not prepared for a full wipe yet.
Apparently, what's happening is the radio doesn't turn on during boot (Radio baseband not recognized error or something). I fixed this problem by turning on the wifi temporarily then turning it off. Apparently this will turn on the radio and should stay that way. I hope this works for you.

That worked dude, thanks! It took me a couple tries, I probably didn't give my phone enough time to boot, but I got it. Definitely a lot faster than waiting for it to connect on it's own.
I wonder why this only seems to affect some of our phones, but not the majority? If I didn't know any better, I'd say it almost seems like they have slightly different hardware. I bought mine directly from AT&T the first week it was released. Don't know if they possibly made any hardware revisions since?

Did you try turning off the "Automatic Time Zone" option in the Date & Time settings? My phone always sets the time to GMT+0 when I have that turned on.

I have been having this problem as well.
Yesterday I did another wipe and reinstall. I did a full wipe (and in mounts formatted everything except my external SD which was temporarily removed.) after flashing the rom, I rebooted recovery and did another wipe data/factory reset and wiped dalvik, then I installed gapps. I then formatted the cache and data again and rebooted the phone. It seems to have fixed the issue for me.

Thanks for the suggestion, but this didn't work for me. Tried it exactly as you said, but still have the problem.

Same issues here, Ive just resorted to manually entering the time zone, but no solution for the delayed connection.

Known issue for months now about the time zone. And apparently some others have experienced a longer than normal connection delay too. Weird.

I have the same problem. I have been using Task's ROM for a few months now and I never had any problems.
updated to version 4-14 and was enjoying it until today. Lost my phone service, for some reason the IMEI got corrupted...I don't even have the access point names choice in mobile networks...no amount of rebooting fixed it...had to flash the phone with a backup file and so far its doing fine..
