Hi guys sorry to bother but there's an annoing issue going on:
_the phone: rooted xperia active,stock 2.3 with .62 fw and 2.9 rage kernel.
_the issue: when inactive, phone randomly reeboots,mostly when in pocket [never while using so far].All started a few days ago after installing a few new apps,i pulled the phone out of pocket and it was booted in temporary debugging mode.i rebooted and all the widgets went bananas.replaced them,and since every time i take it out of pocket it's askin for pincode.never rebooted overnight while chargin!also the calendar app would crash every launch.
_Solutions attempted; wipe data/cache and dalvik.uninstalled one of the above apps(it had root access,the other 2 are games…)and the semc.calendar.nothing worked…also i am experiencing major unusual batt drainage...
Any help will be much appreciated,thanks in advance.

Probably one of your newly installed app goes haywire.
Is there a log where i can see what is causing the reboot?i haven't done backup for a couple weeks and wold like to solve the exact issue without full wipe and recovery backup...the apps i didnt uninstall are popular (alchemy,doors and a.b.space)could it be one of these?ran virus check,only a trojan in winamp but pretty sure it's a fake positive...

I have the same problem with my xperia mini pro sk17i on stock firmware 4.0.4 from sony. I update my phone few times with OTA and Flashtool and thats don't helps.
Now I have rom Icshybrom v2 and all works perfectly.
I also did ics update last week but reverted back to gb the next day,i don't think the rom or krnl have anything to do,phone worked fine up to 2 days ago!

Little update:uninstalled all recent apps,the problem remains...if one of the apps was faulty wouldn't the phone reboot also when using it?it ALWAYS happens when in idle!this morning i unplugged the phone from charger,put it in pocket and 2minutes later was rebooted with battery at 91%!(no usage at all!checked 4 missed calls and sms and that's it).yesterday it rebooted twice and then was fine for 12hrs,sometimes it does it 4 times in 1hr,it's completely random,just never happens when using the phone...

Maybe there is something in your pocket that makes your phone randomly rebooting...try to leave it on a desk for a few hours to test it whether it is rebooting or not
XDA Premium sent this message from owner of Sk17i
I thought it could be a hw issue,but i slammed,shook and pressed hard all over and no probs,i even added a lil piece of paper to completely block the battery,but to no avail...could it be that these days i'm in a place with no 2g signal at all?faulty sim card(it's 10yrs old)?i looked all over and there's tons of people reporting this problem but all posts end with no solution.it rebooted also when laying on the table,never on charge!as soon as i disconnect from pwr poof!this morning had 4 reboots in 30mins,yesterday only two throughout the whole day....

Well i already hear about restart by bad sim card. If it really so old can you try your mobile with another?
Sent from my ST15i using XDA
It seems like it's the most plausible thing,i'll try and report.what about it happening mostly when there's no signal?could it be something in the phone tryin to force connection?is there anyway to get a reboot log?i found an app but it's all in jap...
Sent from my ST17i using XDA
Ok after a few days of investigations i can now affirm that the rebooting occurs 99.9% of the time when there's no signal at all. I'll try with a new sim card and see how that goes

So I'm running beta 4 with new baseband, everything is working beautifully.. except... my hardware keys will just stop working quite often. I have to fiddle with all of the keys (volume, power, and hardware) and eventually they will start functioning again. I've completely wiped the phone, reflashed with SEUS, reinstalled beta 4 and the problem did not subside. I've also tried flashing the latest global generic rom and still no luck. Has anyone experienced this problem? Possibly a hardware fault?

I have the same problem... sometime even the screen wont respond... it happens with every rom or FW i use.
So it's not a software issue.

have you guys dropped your device in some liquid before?
No never, the phone has never been dropped in any way. I guess ill have to flash back to rogers firmware and take it in under warranty.

Ok, this is going to sound stupid, but does this happen when the phone is on some kind of car mount?
I had this happen to me, when I was placing my phone in a car mount, because it was gripped too tight! I guess the camera button was pressed and blocked all other buttons. When I was loosing the grips, it went back to normal. Weird...
Wow you just saved me so much trouble! I thought back to when this started happening and it was around the time I bought a new plastic case for it. It always seemed way too tight.... so I took the case off and it seems to have fixed it. Awesome, thanks for your help! PS love your theme work
Its been over 4 hours and all hardware key problems have vanished Ill be sure to thank you when I get to my computer (can't thank with xda app?)

LOL! I thought I took a long shot there,
but I am really very happy that I helped you!
My phone is getting restart almost once everyday. I gave it at the SE service centre,he installed the android OS once again. But still the same problem. Service centre employee says if it again restarts then he will give it to the company. So now I have 2 options:
1. Give it to the company
2. Wait for the froyo update as the problem might get solved after that.
It would be great if anyone could tell me which option to choose or if anyone could tell me why it is happening.
Sent from my E10i using XDA App
What i remember is that i never had a restart when running the clean android. sometimes when installed an app. if you have no apps istalled i would go for the return. the froyo is still far from perfect at the moment.
Send to the company

A friend of mine had a phone that rebooted every now and then, he sent it to service centers, you know, the whole chain. After a while he bought a new phone, that also rebooted a few times every day. Then one day he got himself a new SIMcard and the problem was gone. He changed back to his old phone but with the new card. And it worked!
What i am trying to say: try with a different SIM card

Thanks for the help. I want to tell you one more thing. That few days ago my phone was absolutely dead. It was not able to charge. So I gave it to the service centre. They once again installed the android OS. From then only I am facing the problem of rebooting.
So I mean to say that since the phone was running fine before dead with the same SIM so I guess SIM is not a problem. OS must be the problem. So froyo update might solve it.

ive had my s3 for 3 weeks now, its been rooted but still running stock rom. today i experienced a reboot when i received a text message and this is the third time, each time prior to the device rebooting it vibrates for a long time i.e maybe 5 seconds instead of 2 secs, has anyone had anything similar happen to them? or is my device faulty?
Never rebooted .
I would return to stock see what happens .
jje
Nope. Nothing like that has ever happened to mine.
Never rebooted using system Apps but plenty times with others, and that's the developer's fault not Samsung's.
I wonder if a third party app may be causing it? It only reboots randomly on a incoming message. I usually know it's going to reboot due to the long vibration.

Yeah have you installed any other Apps that can send or monitor received SMS?
Mine rebooted a couple of times in the first few days of use. (unrooted stock ROM)
Never had any since though.
My friend got an S3 2 days ago and he told me he's been experiencing random reboots !!! His phone is on stock rom and ain't rooted yet !!!

Only whatsapp, but I doubt that is causing it. I've cleared data in applications for the messaging app, so going to see if that helps, thanks for the replies, at least IM not the only one having issues, I read on another thread someone having similar issues when using the phone and a SMS arrived, his phone would freeze.
People that are not experience reboots are you using custom roms, and if so which do you recommend? If I have to send it back to Samsung, will flashing stock ROM and using triangle away prior to flashing ROM be enough to get warranty back again?

That means there's an App flashing something to Root and rebooting your phone, it happened to me with a cracked version of Rom toolbox pro so I uninstalled, and I'm not sure but that might add to your flash counter every time so you want to find out what's causing it.
Nope, mines been fine, even undervolted.
Ok I finally figured it out, it was nova launcher causing the freezes, using touchwiz no freezes when sms arrive.

My touch is dead, doesnt responding at all. I will take it tomorrow to the service..
Try this
OK, try this man, it works for me. Long press power off+vol up button and hold it until it vibrates 3 times in a row. Ur phone will turn off after that. Than simply turn on ur phone. My touch works now.
I have the same problem, no response at all from touch. Tried the forced shutdown, still dead. Was your solution to replace the touch?
Its still same but I am forced to be on 3g network. It doesnt freeze on.3g network

Hello.
My name is Jacek and i'm from Poland. First of all sorry for my english
So....
I had purchased Sony Xperia P on 6th march 2013. After two days i started to have problems with the touchscreen.
After unlock with the button on the right side of my Xperia, touchscreen did not react/respond.
This fault was very disturbing.
I tried to fix it by PC Companion, but it doesn't works. After 6 days i gave my phone to repair.
After five days local Sony Service Centre gave my my phone with the note, that they installed new software (the same software as i had before i gave my phone to repair) and that the specification of my Xperia is consistent wit Sony guidelines.
Today is third day i recive my phone from Sony Service. My Xperia still doesn't work. Touchscreen don't respond i cannot do anything with my phone. It is very, very annoying. I will add, that after repair i cannot restore my settings and data with PC Companion.
What should i do? Thanks for any help.

I cannot do this because in my localization 3G is not available.
I had the same problem, only solution was new touchscreen, it is a know issue with Xperia P, lots of similar cases in Sony's official forum as well.
They will always tell you to restore your phone with PC Companion but that will not help I your touchscreen is faulty.

My partner has had her z2 for a couple weeks. And she has always had iPhones and me mainly androids. But she has found it hard to use at times. For some reason 3 or 4 times a day over past week it has crashed and not responded. And also turns it's self off. And while in walkman app could not select songs only way I managed to get it to work was uninstall all updates then the songs were clickable. Then upgraded again and it still worked. Any one else had similar problems? Thanks

You shouldn't be having these issues. In my experience the phone is very stable.
The only time it resets on me is when I pull the SIM card. I'm not sure why it does that because it's not necessary.... But anyway
Try doing a factory reset and all that. If there are still issues call Sony support and get the device replaced, or just do a 30 return/exchange.

Yes i had these exact issues with a defective unit, it seems that replacing the device fixed it alltogether
Take note reflashing my firmware didnt fix my problem, if it doesnt fix yours then get a replacement
