Hi
I've just received my new SGS II a week ago, and I have been noticing that it randomly restarts.
It seems to occur without any reason and the restarts both when I'm using it and when it's just sitting idle.
I wonder if it is related to ICS or if it might be a hardware problem. What do you guys think?
When it restarts it shows the samsung logo and all but it doesn't require me to enter the pin for my sim card.
Cheers!
Backup data and factory reset .
Test if its still; a problem return to service .

Are you rooted? Using official rom or custom?
If official and never rooted, have you tried hard reset the phone and install everything back?
It's stock ICS and a hard factory reset seems to have solved the issue.
Thanks to both of you

Hello, ever since i rooted my phone and then restarted it a day after my phone has a missing status bar and in storage under usb storage it will say unavailable. I can't install any apps after the restart either.
Does anyone know of any way to fix this problem?
This happens when i root using the cf method and even when i installed the litening rom (don't think i spelt that right).
Please help. Using a bell canada galaxy s ii
wipe and reinstall. if no worky, then it could be hardware issue.
I reinstall the rom (both factory and custom on two occasions) each time and it gets fixed but when i restart the next day it happens again.
I just reinstalled the litening rom without wiping and restarts don't mess with the phone anymore so hopefully that'll fix it.
There seems to be a weird issue with my Galaxy S3.
I had installed the Omega ROM v36 (upgrading all the way from v23 i.e 24,25.. serially) without wiping the data.
The phone was working fine until a few days back. Then suddenly the phone used to hang(like old nokia phones).
I tried calling the sim number and the call was going through but wasnt getting anything. The screen just stood there.
And then i had to reset the phone (Power 8 seconds) every time it happened.
Today I wiped the data and freshly installed the ROM. The same issue still exists.
It is really irritating. and even after reset-ing the phone the phone hangs the same way!
Please help someone.
Should I go back to stock? Something else?
Please!

But the problem is since v34!
I tried installing every update.
Nothing helped!
And which SD do I need to format? internal or external?
Did you experience this screen problem before the custom rom? Lets hope its not a hardware problem.
Try formatting your internal SD. Don't think your ext SD could affect it, though eject it just in case. Return it to stock as much as possible.
I'll get a new text message & go to read it but then all the conversations have disappeared & I can't send or receive any new ones. Once I reboot the phone they all reappear.It happens 3 4 times a day. KIndly Help. I am using 4.1.2 XXEMA2 Official.
Factory reset and or flash stock firmware .

same with me isnt there anyother way without installing stock app factory reset doesnt help
I'm having the same problem. Seems to be getting worse. Used to be about once a week, now almost daily. Doesn't matter what messaging app I use, happens with all of them, including stock. Very strange.
I still have this problem, any solutions yet?
same issue running stock unrooted phone.. started happening a week or so ago but now its multiple times a day. factory reset is not working.
Sounds like your DB files are getting corrupted and are rebuilt on reboot. Might need a full wipe and reflash of the roms your on

its happening to me and im on synergy rom. and its also happening to my brothers note 2 and hes stock everythiing, not even rooted. must be a samsung thing. if anyone has a fix id like to know tho since its happening almost every day now.
Its happening to me also, S3 completely stock, un rooted
we really need help here
Post 2 and post 7.
Or contact Samsung .

Any fix for this?
I think it has something to do with Play Store.
Every time I restart my phone after they disappear, play store has new updates available.
Had the same problem. Hard reset solved the problem. Vol up + home button + power button. Select factory reset. And voila.

Dear xda-community,
my galaxy S2 is driving me nuts for some days because of a very weird problem.
After flashing NeatROM 5.3.1 some weeks ago my phone screen suddenly started to stutter for some seconds with losing signal strength. After losing the signal it stuttered again but suddenly crashed and I couldn't start it up again unless I remove the battery and place it back again. Then I went back to Stock ROM after my phone bootlooped for no reason. As I tested stock ROM to ensure the problem does not occur, the screen stuttering happened once again. I just flashed JellySNAP ROM and thought it was over, but here I am with the same problem.
The odd thing is that it only occurs as soon as my phone is losing signal, searching for an available network to connect or going into airplane mode and waiting some moments.
What I did:
Reflash ROM
Wipe cache + Dalvik cache
Full wiped before flashing Custom ROM
Wipe everything and flash Stock ROM
But none of these things helped me fix my problem.
Is there any solution to this problem or does anyone have similar problems?

Clean fully using GS2RomNuke @hawkerpaul then flash a new rom - it's got to be worth a try :good:
Try nuke scrpt.If that doesn't work either,then it must be a hardware issue,which means service center.

Just tried this out and flashed my ROM again. Somehow froze just right after boot, so I restarted it. But then it stuttered after going into Wi-Fi-Connection screen at the start. Luckily no crash, but I am still worrying about my phone... Gonna report after one day of usage

yep - reflash stock and use trianglaway to reset flash counter to zero and take back under warranty:good:
Okay guys, thank you very much for helping me out! :good: It looks like the problem still occurs, but at least I know when. Best example: I had about 28% battery lifetime left as this once happened. I just rebooted it and it suddenly told me that I only had 1% of battery left. So I think this is because of my faulty battery stat or even my faulty batteries. Gonna try a new battery just for reference.

Well... I wish I could, the problem is, that I got it as a present some months ago and the real owner of this phone bought the Korean SHW-M250S version some years ago so I don't have any warranty anymore... Perhaps I should just use it until it dies (or the new motorola block phone project is released )
ok,30 minutes ago my gs3 was next to me and I had music on then all of a sudden the ''Samsung Galaxy S III" splash screen appeared.It kept appearing and disappearing so I took the battery out for a while then inserted it and it turned on.5 minutes later the same thing happened and now it is working again but well this might happen again.What could be the problem ? can it be SDS ? but I had my gs3 for a year and a half so I doubt that.I'm running wanamlite 4.1.2,have been using this rom for almost a year.(except for trying out a few other roms sometimes).
Reflash your rom, try first without a wipe.

You can try this:-
Go to recovery and do factory reset. (You will loose all software installed by you, may b contact & sms too)
Wipe Cache & Dalvik Cache
Tried a factory reset and tried restoring to a an old backup,didn't help.I didn't try reflashing the rom, I doubt it will work because restoring to a backup that was working fine didn't help either.I'm thinking about giving it to samsung,hope they won't blame rooting and custom rom for the problem but I'm out of warranty period anyways.
Try another rom! But with a clean install! don't restore your nadroid backup data, use Titanium Backup for your apps.
I noticed that it happens when I actually use the phone(like for a few minutes) but when it's idle,it operates normally.
I don't have any other roms right now and I can't download any because my internet is limited currently.
UPDATE: It looks like the problem is the power button because when the phone does boot,the boot menu keeps showing up and when I pull the battery and insert it again,it boots automatically.I will get it fixed,thanks all.
