I'd like to get an idea of how many Evo 3d users have experienced freezing or random rebooting issues with their phones. I'm not talking about reboots caused by shady apps but random ones.
I want to see how widespread the issue is.
Not once here.
I have had one reboot, and a couple freezes. The reboot was while playing Gun Bros, the freeze was trying to get into the camera from the lockscreen. It went into camera app fine but I switched to 3D to fast. I find that letting the camera load then switching to 3D I have no issues.
Mine has frozen 3 times not a big deal really.
don't forget to bring a towel!
Mine froze or just went to black screen and became unresponsive 3 times a day.. just exchanged for a new one yesterday.... The store manager said his cousins does the same thing ...
He then called the rancho Santa margarita store that is a high traffic store/other service and repair and that manager said they saw and exchanged 8 phones yesterday by 3pm for freezing and rebooting issue

Mine started the second day I had it. Would reboot probably 5-10 times per day, but it seemed more prone to doing it when the battery was less than 50% full. Maybe the current draw exceeds the supply for whatever reason.
Anyway I got mine through the Sprint website, so I had to deal with telesales to get a new phone sent. Just had to do some troubleshooting on the phone with them. When they were convinced it was a hardware problem, they overnighted me a new phone. I've only had it a day so far, but no reboots yet (knock on wood).
Like the 4th day I had mine, I started getting freezing and random reboots, there was a period of about 24 hours where I was unable to use the phone because everything I did made it reboot instantly. I made an appointment and was going to go the the sprint store to have it replaced, but then it stopped with the random reboots. I haven't had a random reboot in over a month now. For what its worth it seemed like my hotmail account wasn't syncing properly and I think it had something to do with the random reboots, I deleted the account and added it again and everything is fine now
Had mine for about a week now with no reboots...Iv gotten the black screen a couple times but just pressed the home button and was fine....

I've had mine for three weeks now and had one reboot the first week. It does sometimes become unresponsive for a few seconds. Doesn't do it often, but I was thinking about switching it.
The results would seem to suggest that at least a decent number of these rebooting phones are only doing it from some buggy software. I don't believe so many phones could have faulty hardware.
Today mine rebooted when I was setting up a new wallpaper, right when I selected how I wanted it cropped it rebooted. Now its completely unresponsive. It boots up to the lock screen but doesn't respond to any touches what so ever. It's not frozen, I have the weather lockscreen and the animation is moving just fine, but I am unable to unlock it. I'm thinking I'm gonna have to factory reset...doh!!
UPDATE!!
I ended up taking it to the Sprint store to see what they could do. I was hoping they wouldn't have to factory reset. Well they did it anyways, but they also said the touchscreen needed to be replaced, so they did. I'm strongly thinking about swapping for a new one, instead of keeping this "repaired" one, I only have 2 more days left until 30 days are up though.
Unfortunately I don't know how accurate your poll will be on this site, the fanboys from other manufacturers are likely to throw off your results. LOL.
Hello,
I had 2 random Reboots. Once when I was in the middle of a Stock Trade. Unfortunately, when I tried to purchase the Stock, it had actually already risen.
I ended up Exchanging mine for another 3D yesterday. I wanted to do it Friday, but my local Store had a 2.5 Hour Wait and also said they needed to Test it to see if there was an issue.
That did not sit well with me so one quick Call to Sprint and they made a Note on my Account to allow an Exchange with no questions. As it was under 30 Days, I do not understand why it would be an issue in the first place. The CSR felt the same way. Especially since I have been with Sprint since 1999 with a perfect Payment History.
Cheers,
JJ
I've had mine since the premier ordering which was June 22nd I believe and mine just started rebooting this week! And it's doing it out of nowhere! Wondering if I have to do a hard reset??
One of mine rebooted itself about 5 times in the first week. Also I would get a network error when opening the browser, market, and online apps about 50% of the time. I took it back and the new one has not had any problems.

The majority of the in-store reps are clueless. There is only one person at my store I will even talk to anymore and she is great. Seek out the smart one and only deal with them.

My 3D restarts atleast 2 times a day, don't have anything running but sometimes the default music player.
Had first random reboot this morning...out of 30 day period too...hopefully that was a one-time incident

My phones froze about 4-5 times and rebooted about 5 time within the last two days. Must be an app I downloaded though, cause it didn't start till last night. I'm just not sure which one, seeing as I downloaded a bunch last night lol.
Quick question folks: Is it considered a restart when I exit my web-browser and it sometimes goes to the white HTC screen, then reloads the home screen?
I've had the phone for 5 days, and I've gotten about 5 restarts.
It happens when I'm doing something. Playing with ring tones, playing a poker game app...
Just wondering if it's happened to anyone else, and if it's hardware or software related.
EDIT: 9/29/2011
I've had the phone for about 2 weeks now. The past week, I've not had any restarts. Don't know what's changed. I think there was an OTA update about last week. I"ve been using it as much as I had been - web browser, angry birds, email, etc...
Oh, about last week I also re-seated the battery. Don't know if that does anything, since the battery seem like it was seated fine. But someone recommended it. Could just be a fluke.
So, one way or another, the random restarts seem to have solved itself.
Me also
Had mine for about a week and has rebooted at least 5 times. Phone seems to hang and then rebooted.
I am coming from an EVO which never had these problems. Thought about trying a Samsung or another Photon
Yea, just yesterday when I was using my flashlight app for a few minutes. It has mostly happened when I used the led flash as a flashlight. It doesn't matter which app I use, it just restarts sometimes.
And also when I was playing a game today.

I have had mine for over a month also and have had one restart..... but then again every phone I have ever had restarted on its own at some point. By far this has been the best phone yet.
Had restarts and a few lock ups everyday. Got a replacement and no issues since.

None for me after 3 weeks.
My EVO 3D used to do it once in a while when it would lose a signal.
Those who don't have random restarts hardly at all...are you installing apps and using the phone fairly heavily?
I'm wondering if this is a hardware of software issue.
Try re-seating your battery and make sure the back is on good.I was having the restart issue and it ended up being that the rep that initially started the phone up didn't put the battery door on correctly.

Exactly. I've only had one random restart, after the OTA, but I chalk it up to the heat wave where I was working. Poor Mo-Pho got up to 119 degrees.
I would also suggest a factory reset and wipe of the internal SD, a lot of times the testing of each phone before they're put in the box can cause issues.

no problems here. love this phone!
Me I am facing this issue since I got the phone I am at that point of replace the unit or order other phone!
What do you think?
I am really so pissed how is that you see only good comments on this phone and no body mention this known issue on thos youtubbie crappy videos...
I cant believe that I paid good money for this phone and I am not the only one with the issue. Sad thing no body know if this is HW or Sorftware!
I have no problem fixing the software... we really need the hackers spending some time debugging this issue.
Had my phone for a month, and have had 3. I am a heavy user so I expect it. Best phone I ever had.

Ive had my phone for about a month, probably had 7 or 8 restarts total since I got it, two in one day during the first week but it seems better after the second OTA update. For the past two weeks I've only had two restarts. Each time it restarted I was playing angry birds and had let the phone got to sleep while in the middle of playing. When I woke it up it restarted. Sounds software related to me. Im rooted but not unlocked. I love this phone!
I get over 1 a day. Its sad. Def gonna get a replacement when I get the time
Sent from my MB855 using Tapatalk
I get atleast one a day. I don't notice because at home I set my phone down a lot. It gets worse when im on the phone surfing the web. Then it seems to do it more often. Yesterday it rebooted three times in one hour. It gets annoying but im past my 30 days to return plus Sprint doesn't have any other phone that interests me.

I have the reboot issue, but I have narrowed it down. DEVS TAKE A LOOK!!
So far I can get a 100% repro of this issue if
1. I am on WIFI for DATA and make or receive a call.
2. then leave WIFI area and attempt to call out, TXT or use 3G data.
3. phone will reboot every time when that occurs.
60% repro of reboot issue with the fallowing.
1. make or receive call with WIFI on but not attached to network.
2. go into WIFI range of a known(not new!) WIFI hotspot and phone attaches to WIFI on it's own.(this will sometimes cause the WIFI, 3G, and phone signal to all appear in the task bar at the same time)
3. make a phone call, txt or turn off WIFI then attempt to use 3G data and phone will reboot.
Also this is VERY IMPORTANT!! The conditions above will not cause the reboot on it's own. If you have data updates off or leave WIFI off all day then you might never see this. Also VERY important if you receive a call when attached to WIFI and then use your phone for data only you will not get the reboot right away it may take upto 30-40 min. Also important, if you attempt to do either repro above via making a phone call you will see the dialer get stuck at "connecting" in the upper left hand side, but it will never go to "connected" and hitting anything on the dialer or the back button will not help only home, but you will notice nothing on the phone will work anymore. This will ultimately lead to a reboot!
Here is the problem as I have trouble shot the living crap out of this and it seem that either the voice/3G radio is locking up or the dialer is crapping out.
Also on a side note that when the dialer is stuck on "connecting" if you force stop the dialer it does nothing, but if you force stop the "dialer storage" it will kill the dialer, but you will still get a reboot at some point after that.
So now we know where to look at for this issue. Can any of the devs look into this as I am not sure where to go from here, but this IS the problem everyone is seeing and can be hardware or software.
I have two consultations, actually. Hehe.
(1) I'm not really sure what happened but my XS suddenly freezes when I'm in a middle of a game perhaps or maybe doing something with an app.
It just literally freezes. I had to restart, unless it'll drain my battery with it's screen on forever.
Anybody got an idea what happened there? o_o...?
Cause I dont. Havent really touched the phone yet, I mean, I havent rooted it yet and all. So I basically have "just apps and games" here.
(2) Also, a few weeks ago, when I woke up, my phone's DEAD. WTF. I dunno how or why but I'm assuming that my phone's screen was probably on the whole night. (I've observed what happens whenever someone texts me, my phone's light doesnt seem to go off after that), and I'm so confused that I FORGOT what I actually did to solve that, but for some lame reason, it happened again a few days ago.
What was that? o_o...?
xoxo
thanks :3
Wow 173 views and no response.
I'm betting it's something software related like an app or apps you installed causing issues.
Freezing can also be due to the device over heating while playing a game or multi tasking.
Check the apps you installed and remove anything dodgy, failing that try my post about factory resetting or restoring your device and start fresh again.
Don't forget to back up your phone book to gmail and instal the latest updates from the development section.
Failing that take the device back to the store for a replacement/fix.

My SGS3 works just fine for 2 weeks, until now.
Suddenly, it keeps randomly crashing and reboot into samsung s3 logo screen.
Oh, I have tried different roms (and stock rom also) but the crash still happen.
I also have tried wiping cache, dalvik, clean install, removing external sdcard, and restore factory setting. But none was effective.
Any ideas?
I had a similar issue with my Atrix and it turned out to be the SIM Card. Had it replaced and no more random reboots. I figured this out by checking the panic dumps...maybe there is a similar way to check this on the SGS3

Thanks for the response.. I tried it just a moment ago without sim card, and it still got the random reboot..
Any other people who got the same problem?
Is the phone unusually warm? The phone will automatically reboot if it overheats, but that wouldn't normally happen unless it's been left in the sun or overclocked.
I can get mine to go into a reboot loop if I play Asphalt 6 while outdoors, but the problem goes away as soon as I let it cool off for a minute or two.

yes, the phone (when i use it) is usually warm, but my phone also crashed while not in warm state.
but this crashing-reboot problem just show up after 2 weeks of normal (and not any crash experience) usage.
this crashing problem show up after i played temple run btw (not sure is relevant)

Sorry to hear that man. Had a SGS with same issues. maybe Samsung has hurried releasing galaxy S3
I'd factory reset and only put on the important apps you use. Depending how long it takes for you to normally get a reboot you can slowly add new apps back to narrow it down. I had the same problem last year and thought I had a bad sgs2. But it turned out to be dolphin hd browser at the time that caused it and haven't had a reboot in a year. It could be something similar in your case. Hopefully its software related and not hardware

i just tried flashing normal ROM, after booting to "get started" page, approximately 3~10 seconds, my sgs just rebooted over and over again, until it show only black screen with battery icon on it (i think it may be charging animation while the phone is turned off).
ahhhh this is driving me insane!!
update : i just flashed hypergalaxy ROM and currently it is stable and not experienced crashing (yet ).
i'll give further report later today

Have you tried reinstalling FW with Odin? If yes does it still reboot after a factory reset with nothing installed?
yes, i have tried flashing stock rom using odin a few hours ago, but the crashing still happen.
my sgs3 now stuck at boot-standby5sec-crash-reboot loop.
so, i decided to bring my sgs3 to samsung service center tomorrow. hope they will replace it with a new unit
UPDATE : Samsung replaced my new SGS3 with a new hardware (not sure new device though, the flash counter reset to zero )
the problem seems to be hardware related
thanks for all your reply to my problem

I am having the same issue, I've had my phone since Saturday (6/23/12) and it crashes, reboots, apps crash, internet crashes, email crashes, etc. I can udnerstand a lot of apps may not be updated to ICS.. but no matter what I do.. everything crashes.. It's a bit ridiculous. I am a prior iPhone 4S user and am probably going to return this phone. I can't do much without it crashing or the screen freezing.. not being able to do anything for 2-3 minutes, etc. And they couldn't port any of my numbers from my prior phone because they didn't have the software update to do so yet. So overall, bad experience with the Galaxy.. and maybe I should have waited longer before buying this phone to work all the problems.

I'm very sorry that u have these problems.but there will always manufacturing faults when making so many units.only one thing to do,return it and get a replacement.when u get a fully functional galaxy u won't regreat it,it's a awesome phone.Samsung usually replaces the phone,so I think they will do the same in your case.anyway best of luck
After all the problem I've been through, finally I send my phone back to samsung service center.. they tried to reinstall stock rom several times, and in the end, they change the IC board to a new one.. and it does solve my probs..
SGS3 tebooting
Hi guys here is a peace of my experience
Bought the phone last year in November .2 weeks everything fine then it starts rebooting itself.retun it to the mobile provider and get it back in 3 weeks with conclusion that they experience the reboots as well and that the phone had some kind of software issue.in 3 hours i was back in the shop with my phone rebooting again.they send it again to service got it back yesterday with 4.1.1 android and they sad it may be caused with wrong customizing or not supported sd card,turned on the phone and had few reboots manage to update to 4.1.2 and today heavy gaming internet etc and no reboots so far.will test it till wendsday and see what happens.if it will reboots again then its going back to service and this time it is the 3 time so i will get a new phone.
Hi all. I am hoping you guys an help as I am about to go back to my Nexus 6 at this point. I got a 64gb Galaxy S6 edge shipped to me at the end of March. On the first day I activated it I got the pop up that there was a software update so I did that. Every single review I've read talk to how the lag is almost gone, no overheating issues, etc. I stayed away from Samsung for so long because TouchWiz completely destroyed the Android experience for me, causing intense lag and slow down. If there is anything I can't stand when using a smartphone it is lag. Anyway, it seemed to work ok at first but I quickly noticed that it would get extremely hot for absolutely no reason at all. It will also completely lag out for no reason. For example. I'll go to unlock the phone from the lock screen and the animation will show it was swiped but it will just sit there for up to 20 seconds before doing anything. Often it just goes back to a black screen and I have to press the home button to try and unlock it again. If I try to use Google Maps many times it just hangs there for what seems like forever before it will move forward to actually start the navigation process. Navigating between music apps is painstakingly slow. I have powered off the unit multiple times, closed all open apps multiple times, etc and it doesn't seem to do anything. It will work better for a short time and then does it again. When I try to launch the camera it is supposed to launch super fast. At times I just sit there and wait. It is extremely frustrating. The longest I've had it sit there and freeze or lag has been close to a minute.
It also always seems like it is reallllllly warm, even after just a short while of using it. Again, it isn't every time I use it but more like 70% of the time. It could be resting in my pocket and get really hot, for example. It makes no sense.
Is my unit boned, or is this a common issue? I asked my developer friend and he suggested I turn off animations, etc. but why would I need to do this? I bought the phone with some crazy octa-core processor and tons of memory so it should breeze through all of this like nothing. My Nexus 6 almost never had any lag whatsoever and I would really like to think this phone is capable of more than what it is doing right now.
Any suggestions you guys have are more than welcome. I really like the phone but am at the point where if I can't get this awful lag/hanging issues fixed it is going on eBay =(.
Thanks for your time .

Quick answer factory reset see if that helps if not take it back to the store
I have no lag at all
I do have Lookout Mobile Security enabled, but it is only using like 7MB of ram. That wouldn't be causing this would it? I checked online at forum sites and it doesn't appear as though it would.
My first (S6 not edge) was like that. Turned into a handwarmer, got so hot it was literally burning hot! Took it back to the TMO store. Manager could not believe how hot the phone was, the box was warm and the phone inside was like a hot potato! Still frozen on the white TMobile splash screen from where it locked and stayed for hours. The phone was never really right. Got it exchanged for an Edge and it has been problem free, hardware wise.
Sounds like you have a bad one.
The Nexus 6 is a good phone, was going to sell mine but I need it to work with Google-Fi.
As suggested above, I would try factory reset first. Mine is very responsive even in power savings mode. It's just fast. I leave animation on at the default 1x. Did you look to see which apps are running the CPU up?
before a factory reset, try to go into recovery mode and clear cache. I've found on the tmobile version that once i got into recovery mode it did something of a small update automatically (in reading the scripts) and that doing that and then clearing cache really helped my battery drain i was having- might fix your lag too.
Clearing cache and factory reset after the update stopped my lag.
The battery though, just sucks. I'm down to 35% in 6 hours with less than 30 minutes of use.
I'm missing my nexus 6 at the moment. I hope I didn't mess up buying this.

Guys I'm fairly certain this is just the typical 5.0.1 problem... I'm experiencing it too and factory wipes only fix temporarily.
Had same thing on my Moto X 2014 and went away with 5.1 update.

Hi there. Thanks for this tip. I went ahead and did this and it did a software update as soon as I went into recovery. I cleared out the cache as well and it seems to be much zippier now. What I have found with Samsung phones, though, is that usually they work fine for a few days and then end up going to hell. Thanks for your help and I will keep an eye on this. If it keeps ending up working poorly I will go back to the Nexus 6.

I really hope that's not the case since Samsung takes 10 times longer than any other OEM to update Android
Encountered a bit of lag again earlier. Cleared out cache again via recovery and resolved it. Definitely think I have a bum unit or something with this version of Android

I thought the main lollipop memory issue was tracked down to boot up animation and Touchwiz devices are not meant to have this, therefore the fix Google has made to stock devices has no bearing on Touchwiz. Basically the issues we have are Touchwiz related not Lollipop specific, though Samsung must be delighted as we all throw blame at Google it diverts blame.
One such bug is the*boot animation memory leak*bug which consumes greater amounts of memory during boot forcing the kernel to kill few process (might be core services as well) causing severe lags.*arter97*of XDA has found a work around for this issue and according to him*“the current Lollipop boot animation implementation does not releases the resources held to*playprevious frames”*which might be the root cause of the issue.
According to the developer’s research, almost all the devices (except for the Touchwiz based Samsung device) fall prey to this bug causing highly unstable UI.
