Hello everyone. I have a GSM EVO 3D, S-OFFed and running KingCobra3D 1.8.1 and Unity v3 kernel. Problem is, my phone occasionally bootloops for no apparent reason. When it happens, I need to shut the phone off (PWR+VolUp+VolDown for 5 seconds) and repower it again and it boots up fine. It happens approximately every 25-35 hours. Other than that, the phone is running perfectly fine. It can happen while I'm watching a movie, browsing through the UI or even while it's in standby state (which is the worst because it sometimes drains the whole battery at night while I'm sleeping). I used another kernel before (AnthraX 12-15) and bootloops where present too.
I already tried flashing the stock ROM through PG86IMG.zip (if I got the name right) and then applying my ROM again, but bootloops still happen. I have a feeling there is an issue with some software. Other users of this ROM (and kernel) report to bootloops.
Can anyone recommend me any ways to check what causes the problem? Are there any good loggers that can log phone activity besides logcat? I have an idea to do adb logcat on my PC and leave the phone connected hoping it will catch a bootloop this night, but are there any other methods? Maybe Android makes error logs somewhere?
Or maybe forum users know of something about those sudden bootloops?
I'm using Go Launcher EX, CPU 384-1.52Ghz Ondemand (so no OC).

As the title suggests.
Having a very strange issue at the moment where my phone will randomly switch off when it's in deep sleep, then when I've restarted I'll find some of the more recently installed apps have been deleted/uninstalled.
What on earth could be causing this?
Using siyah kernel 2.6.11 and wanamlite rom V7.8 (2.3.6)
Sounds like a to low under volt,(you may not have undervolted)... try neak kernel, its the best by far..
I think that will sort your problem out.
If not then wipe and reflash your rom.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
haven't undervolted at all, and it's set at 200-1200 MHz..
I'm not 100% sure if I had the issue with void echo (kernel I was using before), or an older siyah build but it's definitely possible.
What could explain the uninstalled apps though? it's really bizarre...
I'm going to go ahead and bump this as its happening yet again, but slightly differently as well.
I downloaded a game around 3 days ago and have rebooted once since then (yesterday) and just found that I could not launch the game (got a FC pop-up), but it was actually still installed. I then transferred the game installation to my SD card, and it launched. I then rebooted as I switched back to a different kernel via recovery mode, and now the game is uninstalled (along with at least two other apps I've noticed so far).
What is happening??? Surely someone has an idea.
I feel like a bug list that was easily accessible and organized woud have made it a little easier for me to make a decision in regard to a rom.
I recently just flashed sense 4.0, and even though I though I knew all there is to know about flashing, unlocking, wiping .... I still ran into an issue I never ran into before. Now many thanks later to some members here on the community, I managed to finally go back to my nandroid restore.
Bottom Line: I wish there was a simple bug list thread with current roms for ppl to see what they are about to get into and whether its worth it or not.
My problems are: 1-I dont want the developer to think for one second that their efforts are not HIGHLY appreciated
2- I didnt think it was valuable to start a thread over it.
But against my better judgment; I went ahead and made one anyway.
These are the bugs I found in: Newts OnE XxX RC 2.1 *LIVE!!!* (Sense 4 ICS 4.0.3) 4/17/2012
Aside from the developers statement " pic messages causes sim to unmount rebooting will fix it (wip)
animations need to be turned off in developer settings (need kernel source to fix)"
Here is my own bug list :
1- Rotation is very lagy with multiple crashes. This was imp to me since I always use navigation and I keep switching back and forth between both modes. I had to constantly wait for my phone to unfreeze and press somewhere on the screen to help unlock the freeze.
2-Launcher ( rosie) had random lock ups and freeze ups. Lots of noticeable hot reboots.
3-brightness is very laggy. SOmetimes it just dimmed in day light , forcing me to go indoors to see how to get back to full brightness.
4- When I attempted to restore, here is what happened : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1610566
========================================
Bug list for Clean rom DE 1.2 (ics rom ):
1- wifi tether : when I enable security , I lose connection after 10-15 mins of activity
2- Phone is a hot potato! I hit high temps constantly
3- All cpu programs fail to keep settings intact for long periods of time. Putting the governor on conservative helps a bit, but I still find my cpu with min and max speeds set to 1.5 ghz without me doing it
4- go launcher is seriously laggy on all ics roms
5-very hi-def videos are not as smooth as they were on gb roms.
Well the roms are based on a leaked rom so bugs would be expected.
ya you can't expect anything less then a few bugs here and there but they'll also get worked out in the end or most of them
Hello guys,
To get right to it, everything was fine when I was on MIUI 2.5.18 but when I updated to 2.6.1 the issue started happening. I will try to explain the issue to the best of my ability.
About 4-5 times a day my phone will just out of no where become ungodly slow as in it takes the phone ~45 seconds to recognize a touch on the screen or push of a button. So when this starts I have to reboot, and normally I have to Hard Reboot (hold power till GT-i9100 screen appears). I was running Neak at the time so I switched to Siyah and it as still an issue, I also updated to 2.6.8 but that did not help either. Last night, I changed to AOKP thinking it may be a ROM issue and even on the stock Kernel I still have the issue...
At this point I believe it may be a phone issue. Has anyone had something like this happen? How did you fix it if so? Should I attempt a flash back to Stock and run that for a while and see how it goes?
I will try and get a video today if my room mate comes home.
Thanks in advance!

I had the random slowdown issues with NEAK - but never had that on CM9 or Siyah kernels and not on ktoonsez's MIUI kernel as well.
Basic stuff - did you do a complete wipe - cache, dalvik cache, format /system and ran Jivy's kernel cleaning script just to be sure?
Does it happen during a certain activity e.g. opening a certain app or anything else? Do you have any memory management apps installed?
May need to try the cleaner script but yes complete wipe with both cache's and system when I went to AOKP
and no its totally random just when ever it feels like it. As far as memory management I went through the agonizing long steps when it was slow and only about 500mb of memory was being used and only on occasion does it go over 600mb
What are some good memory management programs?
There are so many variables I would say flash back to.stock completely, (wipe first obviously) then see if problem persists. If it does then u know its a hardware issue.

i had a similiar problem on my captivate after installing a eurokrank rom. i found that if u have the govenor set to powersaver it made my phone really slow/ laggy. once i changed it to ondemand or performance it picked right back up. maybe tinker with that and see if it maybe clears it up a bit
Cleaner script seemed to work! Never thought I would ever have to use it but oh well.
It has not happened all weekend, so we will see how it goes the rest of the week!
Thanks again guys!!!
using krsh kernel with real-ics rom, runs perfectly fine for about 12-24 hours, than everything freezes, the phone is getting hot and i have to take out battery... sometimes restarts automatically...
no overclock used, just basic, i need battery life
stock firmware freezes in few minutes if i start up 5-10 memory hungry apps.
is official ICS this buggy or i have a defective phone?
do others have this problem???
what do you recommend?
where can i find logs to detect problems? tried some system info apps, they didn't find any logs
Buggy apps?
made repair with pc companion too

you can try other roms and kernels and see if they work for you. I'm using CM9 and I haven't experienced a crash or freeze unless I'm doing some testing(like running random apps that aren't certified) aside from that all works OK.
i managed to get logging on sdcard vith terminal emulator, i wonder what i will get, right now doesn't want to crash
Hey
I own an S2 i9100, using CM 10.1 (latest stable). I haven't made any ROM/kernel change for as long as the stable came out.
Yesterday out of nowhere, my phone started boot looping, and I have no idea why. The phone boots completely and after a few seconds just crash.
I've looked at the logcat during a crash and couldn't make something out of it.
I've read the last_kmesg and couldn't find any leads.
My biggest clue is that I can totally prevent this from happening when I shut down the network (both wifi and GSM). A few seconds after one of those start, the phone reboots.
Bluetooth tethering for internet access doesn't crash the device. It sounds weird, so: Are there any operations that don't run on BT and do run on other types of networks? I might be able to narrow it down this way.
Also, I'd love to hear other suggestions, but I don't want to hurry up and wipe the device just yet.
Thanks!
Asaf.
Asaf try to flash another ROM and test network again to try or it was ROM related hardware related or something with baseband
