Hey guys
Just curious if you have experienced this with your unrooted factory GS2 yet.
Last Sunday my phone refused to boot up, it would get to the S on the screen and then shut off, no boot up music etc.
I finally got it to start up but then it would just completely shut off and reboot again.
That issue seemed to stop about 3 hours later and all was perfect until this evening.
Used my phone all day at work and once I got home without any problems but then about 40 mins ago I was getting a million pop ups on my screen that every Google application/service had unexpectedly quit and needed to close?
I rebooted and it would be OK for about 2 mins and then start all over again and I cannot open any app.
I have just let it sit here and every 5 mins or so it plays the boot up music while it is on sitting at the lock screen lol?
No apps have been installed or updated over the past few days so I have no clue if it is a software issue and it needs a factory reset or it needs to be warranty repaired due to a hardware issue?
Appreciate your input on this one
Cheers
Nothing eh?
I was browsing facebook, and my phone froze. I waited and nothing happened, so, I pressed the back/home button and it worked. I tried switching between homescreens and it became MEGA laggy (adw ex). Then the screen flashed white, screen turned off and acted like it did a mini restart. Three seconds later, it's rerunning media scanner, searching for signal and the wifi dropped. It ran perfectly fine afterwards. I used elixir 2 to track whether it's related to not restarting my phone for some time and I got to 135 hours without restarting and it happened again (I don't turn my phone off at night). I'm on barebone stock. Any ideas why this might be happening?
Hey guys. My S3 started freezing randomly a few days ago. What happens is that I will be playing with it and then it will literary become unresponsive along with the hardware buttons except the power button. The weird thing is that the animation on the screen is still active: say I was writing a text and the little blinking bar keeps blinking as if nothing is wrong but the phone is simply unresponsive.
I did a factory reset and it is still happening.
Anyone have any idea what the heck is happening? Is it hardware or software related?
Have a read of the freezing thread in general forum, sounds like the operating system is dealing with bad memory blocks.
Well, same thing happens to me, i looked up on that tread about bad memory blocks: well i even tested the memory and works fine, no bad memory sectors, my hardware power button responds to restart (no need to pull out battery). When it does freeze it doesn't unfreeze at all after some time ( i once let it unfreeze for entire night on charger and it stood on the same screen after 8+ hours). I even reinstalled a different software (JB 4.1.3 Darky edition) and it freezes very rarely now but when it does, it's still same kind of freeze. When it freezes it freezes mostly on Twitter app but sometimes random app. I don't know now is it really a faulty memory or just software bugs... btw dummy file didn't freeze my phone (to be clear) after i reinstalled the software, but did it before on old one
Help! Galaxy's freezing!
Hello,
I have exactly the same problem, when phone freezes nothing works except power button, when pressing it about 10 seconds, the phone reboots. I have exactly the same model (GT-I9300), but Lithuanian. The freezing lasts from 10 minutes to an infinite time. All the freezing started about three weeks ago, when google play started updating iron man game. I tried dummy file geterator, the phone hasnt freezed at all, but the phone freezes randomly when opening internet, other apps or just anytime, even when phone is on stand by. I tried flashing DarkyRom 4.1.2 XXEMB1, but the phone started freezing even more, then i recovered from the Nandroid backup, and the phone is now freezing not so frequently, about 1 freeze in 2-3 days, but it still freezes, and i also have a strange "Process com.google.process.gapps has stopped working" problem. I tried every solution to this problem, but none of them works. Also, i think it is somehow connected to the freezes, because after those messages phone freezes sometimes. I dont know how to solve these super annoying problems, because i tried nearly everything, and nothing works. I think this might be a hardware issue, and that i should buy a new phone. If you know somehing, help me!
Hi,
Since a week or so now, my Samsung Galaxy S3 with a rooted Android 4.1.2 "sort of" freezes randomly. And with "sort of" I mean that animations and such (can) keep running, it just doesn't respond to any kind of imput anymore. I had it freeze on a youtube video, but the video kept playing till it was done (but it didn't continue like it would afterwards, so the process definitely froze too).
I have no clue what sets it off. I've had it freeze while using navigation, while browsing, while typing, while taking a photo, while turning the screen off (it will just stay on forever), anything. Sometimes it freezes 5 times in 5 minutes, sometimes it freezes only once a day. In all cases, the only way to get it back to life is by taking the battery out and putting it back. Waiting doesn't do anything.
I thought it might be a memory card problem, but I unmounted the card and got the problem again just now.
I figured I'd download an app that writes logfiles to see what is happening, but all those programs don't work anymore with the current version, due to that the programs only have access to their own logs now.
Does anyone have a clue to what might cause this, or a way to troubleshoot further and try and find the solution?
Thanks!
In the last day or so many push notifications have stopped working or only randomly work. Also a couple days ago i had to clear play store as i couldn't install a few apps. I am on Ls992 zv4, holding off on updating joint for root. I will open gmail and sometimes be messages will pop in after a few seconds and sometimes i have to manly refresh and the messages will have a receive till of several hours ago. Sometimes i will get push notifications grim Facebook sometimes not. Another app I'm having problems with is Remind. I won't get push notifications but when i open it there is a new message there. Another issue i have it's the phone now randomly hangs and has locked up several times. I think the only time it has locked up was while using hangouts for video chat. Also since almost day one watching videos on YouTube or web browser videos will freeze while audio keeps going. If you pause the video it may play for 1 second or 30 before it does it again. And the phone can lock up for several second too when this happens. Its like the processor gets backed up and everything at once. Resetting the phone fixes the video and hanging issues for a short time but it will come back. Again i wasn't too concerned about the video issue at first going for root and costumer to fix the issue, but that looks doubtful now. Anyone else have any of these and a fix?
