I must've had 5 reboots in the past hour on my note running ICS. The phone was just sitting there and i noticed in the corner of my eye that it kept rebooting randomly. Is anyone else noticing that as well? Does the phone keep any logs anywhere i can look into?

My phone isn't doing any of that. In fact I'm not experiencing most of the bugs I read about with regard to ICS. A few reboots and everything worked like it was supposed to. Even mms. I imagine that if you have a file browser you should be able to look around and find crash reports.

Did you just get ics or did you have a for a while and its starting to do random reboots? If you just got it and it did random reboots, try doing a backup then re do the steps from odin to obtain ics. If not, try clearing caches first.

I had it since the day it came out. I just noticed reboots right now during a meeting at work when my phone was on the table. Ill clear caches next...

it's not doing it anymore after I cleared /cache, dalvik-cache, and turned wifi off. I did have wifi enabled but not connected so that very well may have been the culprit.
Glad the clearing caches worked.

Wifi is definitely the culprit. Phone was rebooting again yesterday and wifi was turned on but not connected. Turning wifi off made it stop.

It actually happend to me today. My wifi was on but not connected. So yes, its the wifi thats turned on but not connected to a wifi connection thats causing random reboots. Clearing cache helps but will eventually happen again. I hope they fix this on the official ICS update.

Updated yesterday (12/21) and found that my phone battery was draining fast. Handset got very warm in my holster.
This morning I noticed that the display would never go blank unless forced by tapping the power button. It would dim but not blank out.
This problem did not exist prior to the OTA update.
Any ideas?
If your 100% stock and haven't done any mods to your phone, I would call up or go into an att store and tell em their sh**** update made your phone turn onto a hand warmer :-\

OK. Kinda weird, but this is computer stuff.
Changed a bunch of wall papers back and forth. Reset default launcher (was Launcher Pro) to TouchWiz. No help. Randomly turned on/off various Display settings. No joy.
Let it sit for a while and all of sudden it started working OK in TouchWiz. Restarted Launcher Pro and still working. Set my favorite live wall paper and it is still working OK.
Oh weLL
Sweet. Weird indeed. Might have just had an app acting funky keeping screen awake. Anyway glad its working correctly!

I've changed it around several times to no avail. Then it started working for some reason. Oh well.
I am having this same issue. I pulled the battery and it worked for two days and acted up again. I rebooted the phone and now its working again. Very annoying.... also noticed after ota update.
Has to be some kind of app that prevents the display from turning off. Try searching through your app list and see which apps have those permissions.
Is anyone expereincing there Note lagging really bad? I have cleared all the cache today. Closed all running applications in the background. It takes 2 to 3 second sometimes to open an application or even go to the phone dialer. Facebook takes forever to open. Etc. I have turned the phone off pulled the battery fully charge it and still the same problem. Even on wifi opening applications. This happens. But the data is fine on wifi very fast. Also losing data connection on 4 g at times

Start with the obvious... Check what's running in the settings menu... Anything unusual chewing up battery time?
Recently installed apps?
I has this issue after flashing back to stock and a factory reset made all ok.

Bro - the factory reset is ur friend if done right. And the only really important thing is to just backup ur personal data.
Esp if ur running stock, a factory reset will do the trick.
If u want the longer route, download some tools (tibu, setcpu, es fm/tm...) and try and diagnose where the bottleneck is coming from.

Powersaver mode will also cause it to lagg real bad. I only use power saver when I am out or worried about juice, but now I carry a spare battery and never use it.
I have had my Galaxy S II for a while and have been absolutely loving it after upgrading from my Captivate, and haven't found the need to root it and load it up with custom roms JUST yet, but one thing that's been annoying lately is that when it is just sitting here not doing anything, the screen will randomly turn on for no reason, no notifications or anything and then turn off after a couple seconds. happens every couple of minutes generally but occasionally it will do it several times within a short amount of time. I was thinking one of my apps or something is responsible but I am unsure of how to isolate which is doing it and why. Hoping someone has had a similar problem and has gotten to the bottom of it, cause id like the screen to stay off when im not using it lol.
Probably wifi. Maybe one of your neighbors has a wifi signal that drops in and out and your phone keeps picking it up

just checked, wifi has been off all evening.
Maybe look for an app that will log what apps or processes are running and how long? Might help you to see what is causing your issue.
Other than that, im if no help. Hopefully we can get you done resolution soon bud.

I thought it was related to root but I've had these hot reboots even before rooting so it's not just root. Most likely an app.

Will take a while to hunt down the app but anybody else have 'LinkedIn' app installed? It just hot rebooted while launching that app from a fresh restart - quickest hot reboot I've ever seen.
It might not be that app but then I went to the Play Store page and there are tons of 1 star reviews because the last update failed on people's phones - more interestingly the most recent comment is from a GS2 user who says latest update reboots his phone.
I've uninstalled it and I doubt I can be that lucky that it's that app and I find it so quickly but crossing my fingers.
Mine rebooted after I opened the Navigation app.

Mine happened again. I've now uninstalled BetterBatteryStats. I'm going to start uninstalling stuff that uses root to roll that out. I've had these issues on stock but it happened rarely, lately it's been happening very frequently so something is going on.

Well I'm tired of the random hot reboots! Some people say it happened to them before rooting, but I don't believe it happened to me until I rooted and installed CWM touch......so I'm going back to stock to start all over again so I can try to narrow down the issue. I'll report back on my progress as it becomes available.

Happening often to me. The search continues. I've now uninstalled adfree. I'm positive this is an app since I had it occur on stock after two weeks of using the phone and installing crap.

I had the same problem on my previous Captivate and am having it now on the GS III; no rhyme or reason to the reboots that I can see.
I still have heat problem but I played w/ different settings to see what it is.... I had att s3 which got really really hot... So returned it for Verizon s3. Verizon is better but learned that the data (lte/s3) makes it really hot and battery drain. Also the screen, of course.
If you're rooted then go get Phone info and disable lte. I tried CDMA auto for Verizon and it got much better... But at lowered download speed. I change it when I speed the speed... Doesn't require reboot so it's easy to change.
U can also under clock using setCPU.
I don't need it to be fast normally except when playing games... So just have it at 384min and 1024max... I find this helps allot w/ heat as well... U can try and find your setting that's acceptable speed and heat.
Just sharing my experience here.... So good luck.

Happens here too with the T-Mobile GS3. I think they rushed their fabrication process to deliver a high volume and fubared a few hardwarewise. I've even had it lockup/freeze once when not even in the OS but just in the recovery menu's. But yeah, the usual is a totally random unpredictable hot reboot throwing out my resident programs, homescreen, ect. Starts with the screen being frozen and not accepting input, then a short vibration, then back to homescreen reloading and all regular apps and widges that are supposed to run at boot load again. It's as if there's a micro static short or something. Anyway, I'm sick of problem solving and looking through logcats. Going back in for warranty. This is a dream phone except for this ultra annoying bug that it seems not many people have.

Happened to me once or twice (that I noticed) in the two weeks before I rooted (stock UCALEM), and a few more times after. It's just TouchPiz being pizzy. Maybe someone can catch the logcat, but there's nothing we can do about it (except install a better ROM )
How would anyone be able to diagnose this BS
"OK. My phone is hot. And it randomly reboots".
"Crap - u r out of luck buddy. Go change ur damn phone".
Provide ur phone model, ROM version, apps installed. Check ur battery stats.
As a solution - flash any custom ROM which removes bloatware.
More than any phone I had before, this phone uses my face to do random things. I'll hang up on people, open apps, turn on airplane mode, etc., all while I'm on a call! Anyone else have this issue?
I am having it too. It's extremely annoying. Random things pop up. Sometimes it's Facebook, and I wonder if my face "liked" someone's post. -_-

Not yet, no.
my proximity sensor randomly stops working which causes this to happen. it works again after a reboot.
Yeah, I've had that issue a few times. Some times it'll randomly have my screen turn on while I'm on the phone and I'll face touch all the things.
Same here. It drives me crazy! All too often my face hits the speaker button and about blows my eardrum out!

hello
Thought it was just my face being a weirdo but yea it's happened to me a few times. usually a quick reboot fixes it. Though I suspect a background app is to blame when it does happen. Though it rarely does.
