Hi folks,
My galaxy s2 has frozen up on me about 5 times now as if a process has stopped responding and killed it. I need to press and hold the power button until it restarts to get it going again.
The phone is running stock firmware which I updates yesterday via kies. Hope someone can help!
Thanks

If you have root run locate . If you don't got root access u can use watchdog to se if there are some apps chasing the freezing. http://market.android.com/search?q=pname:com.zomut.watchdog
Thanks ill give watchdog a go (not rooted) .

You could also back up data and try a factory reset .

Faulty GS2 from Three
I have just received my new GS2 from Three UK today. Phone freezes when I try to film video. Have to keep power button pressed for about 10 seconds to turn off and restart. It also freezes when I try using voice commands.
I called Three and they will send another phone. I was lucky I noticed the problem before rooting th e phone. Another annoyance is the fact they bloat the phone with apps you cannot uninstall, so a generic ROM is definitely needed, unless you want to keep their included apps.
I believe this is due to a faulty unit as it happened to me right out of the box, no rooting, no apps installed, no nothing. Continuously freezing on me. I'm returning the handset tomorrow.
You could always freeze the bloatware with titanium backup pro its well worthit
Amd even uninstall them if u really dont want them

Can anyone provide more details on this?
Is it a command run from Terminal, in the phone? What are the parameters?
(or at least what search keywords can I use in Google?)
hi guys,

any ideas ?
Yes is happening on my Phone to i reboot again and the apps Comes Back.
Don't use the Phone during the mediascanning

Yeah, I got the same issue. F***** annoying. Restart my phone and apps is gone, only a black and white paper icon on them and their process name.
Was not during mediascanning.
That's because you use a version anterior at the system apk
EG:gmail for timescape hehe
The system is 2.3.5
If you install 2.3 over it for work with gmail plugin timescape
When restart the phone it automatically delete wrong version
Even with a game that you buy on your old phone and want to run it on the S
EG:need for speed shift,you transfer
.data on the S then install the apk
And nooo license invalid and after boot the .data is auto delete (sound,files,ect..140M
This phone have security like a bank
Don't forget this :-D
Ciao
the same for me - sometimes apps come back after reboot sometimes disappear... not nice Sony
yep same here, i got that problem too... often use titanium backup for restoring
I've lost Browser and Conversations twice for now. Got them back with Root Explorer.
I am having the same issue. Randomly, 2 apps will disappear from the app tray. its annoying as i have to go back to the market to install them back. has anybody found any solution?
Same problem for me. My solution is I moved all apps internal memory. Now I have no problem.
Omfg...I lost opera, NFS shift, implus pro!!!
I'm not rooted yet, so if I reinstall app I'll lose data!!!
Disgusting!
Why does this happen?

For need for speed,if you not backed up data that on sd somewhere,
I think it be erased in external/.data
In my case yes,
i not find solution for.
Only buy the game again for this phone!
And redownload it :-(
For apk disappear at boot
I go in app setting and clear data,
It give an error
But now,
no problem at every boot for me
Always here ;-)
As previously mentioned, it is definitely a bug related to the installation on the "sdcard partition" of the internal memory, one way to fix it is to move all yours apps to the "internal memory" from the application manager.
Also the apps usually come back after a reboot or if you unmount/remount the partition.
Hi,
After I have upgraded my Galaxy S3 firmware to the latest official firmware upgrade from Samsung and root it, intermittenly I have the pop box saying that BroadcomMEMsService has stopped.
This has happened quite frequently and it become quite annoying because before the message comes out the phone will freeze for a short time.
Anybody has same experience and how to solve it?
Cheers
Factory reset, wipe cache and advanced/dalvik on CWM recovery

I have the same problem on a rooted S3.
But I do not see any reasson why this should happen on a stock rom with root permissions. So I do not factory reset it but wiped the caches - no effect.
The problem only appears if mobile data connection is deactivated. I think it should be a problem with some service that needs agps service e.g.
Letting mobile data connection enabled is a solution for the next weeks but not a good option.
I have noted the almost same thing but it happens when the data connection change from G - 3G - H - H+... Btw my data connection is always on... still looking for solution..

So did you try my suggestion or not?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I would try it but sadly I have not enough time for playing arround with resets and restores without being sure that it helps. Thats why I prefer to know the reason first before I begin...
And there are a view people on the net who commented that only disabling specific apps which are in need of agps (e.g.weather widget) had lead to success...

No problem. Up to you of you really need it fixed. Restores don't take long, that's just a excuse.

Yes - think you are right. But I have a lot of stuff which I changed in /system /data etc. and a lot of scripts that I have to sort and backup before. That takes a view hours/days after work so I think I will try it next week.
Found a temporary solution to avoid the crashing is by turning on the GPS... at least until a new rom comes out...

Hmm I see 2 possible couses in my SGS III:
1) Full Keyboard - the error first appeared when I started this app
2) It might be hosts file since I installed Debian kit and using Debian on this phone..
I will try create hosts file and let you know..
UPDATE: /etc/hosts is existing so this is not the couse. I will delete Full Keyboard and let you know.
I did what you say but the problem still occur....
i try to hard reset everything still can't find solution
Afaik the satellite navigation (which on the S3 is GPS + Glonass) is controlled by the modem.
You might want try to flash another modem, maybe it fixes the issue.
Which ROM and version are you on?
Any chance of a LogCat at the time of it crashing?
CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4
Using Odin to flash
Can u gv me the link to flash another modem?
Thx for ur help
no problems on mine but try reflashing the rom
I am having the same issue... i get this ramdomly no matter whats on , gps, wifi, 3g or even when all of them on at same time
Flash new firm.or custom rom and the problem will be solved.Confirmed

Hi guys and geeks, its time to work your magic and fire up your amazing brain cells. I am totally new here and its my first post, so please dont be that hard at me if ill screw something up
So my problem is after a 2 weeks usage of international version of my SGS3 i got a big problem. It started totally from nothing, to be specific it stopped through day.
Yesterday morning i was updating 1 app from Google play and i left my phone on desk.
I got back to it in evening and found out that 4 apps cannot be updated from unknown reason. I tried manual start of download- nothing, it will not start to download. just rolling the bar. I also found that i cant download any new app from GPlay.
I made a factory reset of phone today. Set it up, and its ready to go. IT STILL CANT DOWNLOAD THAT APPS. Why? Wifi is working normally (ONLY WIFI), can browse websites and so on.
Anyone help ??
Goto settings/Application manager/Google Play Store and select clear data and cache then see if it works.
Just google server problem mybe. Just wait

I cleared data cache already,and it doesnt worked. Server problem? HUH.... maybe.... Though i highly doubt its server problem because i was asking a few my friends with android phones about this and their market is ok.
So got any ideas? Cuz im now stuck with empty phone after fact.reset and i cant work on it though.
Bump! Any suggestions?
Goto App manager again and uninstall updates.
Nope, i also combined it with phone restart. It cant download apps or update them.
go to settings, accounts and sync, remove google account. Add account again and it should work.

Did it twice now. Result? Phone likes to roll bars. But thats all he wants to do. Still cant start download.
So i contacted Samsung Customer Support about this and i described it at whole. The guy said he would do exact same thing and i have done good. He gave an advice of taking out the battery for 15 mins - it would reset the device and pull it in and try. Still nothing.
Any idea out there? Because if i will not be able to do more, im sending this damn phone to for service repair because i have 2 years warranty. This is truly f*cking unbelievable. My first Android device. Upgraded from HTC HD2. 600€ phone. Crap.
Had a similar problem a few days back where it just gave an error message. Went into settings / all apps and cleared data from Google services framework. Rebooted and it was fixed.
Edit: just remembered, the above solution may have helped but it didn't completely fix my problem. Had to reboot into recovery, the in the advanced tab had to run 'fix permissions ', then all was fine. Only thing I could think of that may have caused the problem was flashing and testing cm10 before restoring my backup.

Tried Google Service Framework, didnt helped.
So i got into that recovery mode but there was no advanced tab. Only something like reboot now, wipe cache, wipe partition, factory reset .. Tried Wipe cache, and so on... Didnt helped....
Check your memory. Make sure there's at least 600-700mb left. My S3 kept giving me update errors whenever my internal memory fell below 500mb

Bro, no offense, but i have clean phone after factory reset with around 400mb of data in it.

Well if you want to start fresh, flash a CF root kernel and wipe cache, dalvik, system and then a factory reset. Flash a new rom after that. Don't reboot your recovery while doing this because you've wiped 'system' . What ever problems you had should have gone. I normally follow this procedure to make sure for a full wipe
Hope this helps

Sir, i have truly no idea what are you talking about, im just getting that i have to load onto phone some loader and then flash some new rom which im 100% not going to do since i have fresh 2 year warranty and im not planning to break it.
I have already decided. Im calling authorized service center about details for sending my phone to get repaired. Either they will fix it, or ill get a new phone. Only good and Better.
So after few frakking days im back...
SUDDENDLY after 2 days of my last post it started working again like a charm. Downloaded most of the apps.

Hi, I had the same problem as you and I 'fixed' it by Stopping the 'Downloading' rolling bar and then resuming it. I found that fixes it
Let me know if this works :good:
I wanted to try it but there is no pause button though, look for yourself

All right, there has to be a way to get this working since I had the same problem too
Try this :
Turn your phone off and on
Open Play Store and go into the screen where it says "X Updates available" and they are listed in rows
Click Update All and then the blue loading line starts to animate. Wait for a few seconds then click the X next to the first item that is downloading to stop it
Click Download/Resume again
It should start downloading.
The above steps worked for me, I got the S3 day before yesterday and I came across this problem for about 10 minutes 'til I did the steps above
Let me know how it goes :fingers-crossed:

do you have another phone that is logged in to the same Google account? I had this and it was a legacy of not having read the emails on the other phone for some strange reason! Read them, cleared data and all was good
