I looked at the similar threads and none them had to do with my phone. I think it has to do with the sd card as I have unmounted it and it doesn't seem to restart. Today it was restarting about ever 10 minutes. I looked at the log cat and it has no terrible faliures just a bunch of errors which seem to keep occuring but not restarting my phone afterwords. Some of these errors are parsing error in audiofilter.csv, write int failed to open sys class leds red brightness, console unable to post message :0 and a few other random errors. But the audio one and the console messages appear way more often. The sys class leds appeared only once. Is there something I can do to fix this? I just had the phone flashed with the ICS 2.3.7 Rom and everything seemed fine til today.
1) what phone are u using?
2) which kernel are u using?
3) which rom are u using?
4) did you install any new apps/scripts prior to the problem?
1. LG Optimus V
2. 2.6.32.9-v3.3 [email protected]# 1
3. ICSandwich2.3.7 - Final Edition [November 29, 2011]
4. Micdroid, 4shared, micdroid, rootexplorer, and updates for superuser.
Those are the only things I have installed when flashing this rom like the night before yesterday. Also the kernel is the one that the rom came with it seems like all roms I have used so far have this kernel I would really like a different kernel if possible. Other than that I really think it has to do with the sdcard. I have it unmounted and ever since then it has stopped restarting the phone. I have had this same problem with all roms no matter which one I use even when I first got the phone and didn't touch anything on it. The phone randomly restarts when the sdcard is mounted and when trying to play games that are on the sdcard the phone freezes. Is there anything I can do to fix this issue because I don't have a bunch of space on the phone itself to store games so they work and I can't keep the sdcard mounted as it will restart the phone there must be something that can fix this sdcard issue.
Are you using any ext partitions? seems to me as though the sd card is faulty, have you tried with another sd card? does the problem persist when the sd card is NOT mounted?
how about u try reformatting your sd card, after backing up the contents, then remount it.
"I think it has to do with the sd card as I have unmounted it and it doesn't seem to restart." First post. "Other than that I really think it has to do with the sdcard. I have it unmounted and ever since then it has stopped restarting the phone." Second post. So yes I have unmounted the sd card and the problem no longer presists. Just one thing that does happen even with the sd card unmounted which would be the web stops working. I have to turn off the mobile data for a second or so then turn it back on then it starts to work again. But this doesn't seem to happen too often. I will get back to you tomorrow on the reformatting the card as it is a little late and I am going to be going to bed soon.
Well it would seem like formatting the card didn't do anything for it and I have tried different ones they are all identical cards though. Also I have the issue of the phone shutting down entirely with no notice or anything. Like I could have it on to charge and later I go to it and find that it is off completely even though it is on the charger. I could have it where I can see it on the charger and keep an eye on it but it shows no sign of turning the screen on and telling me of it going to shut off. So is it that the phone gets overheated and shuts off with no notice or what?
This **** used to happen to me when I had go launcher... no root... no custom ROM, nothing, go launcher made me do my 1st factory reset... I woke up every night when it kept doing the boot sound... then I got bootloops... after 1 month, thought I give GO launcher another try... this time I had it rooted... so I just flashed cm7, did a full wipe, and now I am happy with it...

Well this rom doesn't have go launcher it has ics theme with magic locker which I think might be causing some issues.
I had the same problems with my Optimus One and 2.2, but I could stop it by not turning wifi off.
I know, it sounds completely unrelated and I didn't even want to try it at first but it stopped my phone from rebooting randomly. My device did "only" reboot once or twice a day, though.
Then it may not be the wifi either. It has to be something. I haven't had this many issues since I got the phone. I guess I will be flashing to a rom that hasn't given me little to no issues.
I have decided to reformat my phone with a different rom. Now I have BACKside-IHO-VM670-12072011 ([ROM+Kernel] Inferior Human Organs unofficial CM7.1) it has only restarted on me once within 2 days but the main problem is that even though I have wiped the battery stats and the battery is at 100% while on the charger and I am using it after 3 hours it seems to shut off like it is dead when I leave it for a minute. It just has a black screen and it won't power up. I have to remove the battery and put it back in and then it comes on and boots up and says it is still at 100%.
I left a friends, pulled my phone out (non rooted and only 3 days old) and it wouldn't turn on. I pressed and pressed but nothing I did would get the phone to activate, no lock screen... Nuthin!
I pulled the battery and tried again, it booted up, twice and then the lock screen was back. When I unlocked it I went to look at my apps and noticed quite a few were listed as com.blahblahblah.android.... whatever, with no icons...
Then I went to the app drawer and looked for those apps and (see image) that's what they looked like.... When I tried to press them I got a "this app is not installed" message.... WTF?
Anyone else ever get this?
I'm going to try a factory reset and see if it happens again.
are you talking about the greyed out ones? there on ur sd card, unmount and remount ur sd card, doesnt seem to be loading correctly. sometimes i have issues where 1 rogue app doesnt load, never had it where all of them did unless it wasnt mounted
I noticed that when I plugged into my pc that my internal storage didn't show up, only the sd card.... Strange.....
windows tends to pop up a window asking if you want "fix" or error check your sd card. if you accidentally chose it, you may have to reformat it and reinstall your apps.
I guess what was most disturbing was the phone becoming non-responsive. Just wondering if my sd card going to pot would do that? Or is my phone screwed up and wrecking my sd card or some other disconnect there?
Hi, can someone help. I have the S3, rooted, and tried yesterday to go into settings, more settings, nearby devices, file sharing. However all of the options including the `radio' button is greyed out?
Has anyone else come across this?
I thought it may have been kernel specific, I was using Franko's R14, so I re-flashed the standard build I9300XXBLG8 with the root maintained but still no joy?
Can anyone help?
Screen shot attached!
Thanks

You might have already tried this but just keep taping on the file sharing switch, my phone was doing the same thing with all the buttons grayed out but i just taped that switch like 10 times and it ungreyed and started to let me turn it on and off.
Sorry if you have tried this already.

Thanks for the help, just found the answer in another thread, I had to goto settings/application manager/click the ALL tab, scrolled down to the `Nearby devices APP' and clicked Cleared Data, went back to settings/more settings/nearby devices and it worked. Thanks to whoever posted that!
Worked for me
I had the same problems, eventually fixed it by removing the micro sd card, clearing nearby devices data and restarting the phone. Once I confirmed everything was working, I reinserted the micro sd card and now everything works as it should. I hope this helps someone.
Didn't work for me. Only for the first time after deleting the data it worked, the on/off switch was enabled immediately. When I went to the menu for a second time, I had to wait for about 15 seconds, before the switch became enabled again.

Mines still borked too!
I've read that even doing a factory reset still doesn't sort it, maybe its an issue with firmware? I'll try deleting cache and dalvik cache in cwm to see if that helps.
. . to confirm clearing nearby devices works but only temporarily
edit / update:
well it seems clearing the cache and dalvik cache doesn't seem to do any good either, but I had some success.
Firstly I cleared nearby devices cache / data again (whilst I was in the vicinity of my wifi network with wifi turned on on the phone at the time, don't know whether this is important but it seemed to kick things into working for me at least)
The dnla settings became live again, but I noticed my wifi icon was gone even though wifi was turned on on the phone, so I toggled the wifi button and heypresto things started to happen! and was able to see my phone on the PS3 and share files etc.
After I switched off the phone and rebooted (with dnla left in the on position) the dnla app was greyed out again, however a quick trip to wifi settings to toggle on and off again (and also remove some 'remembered' wifi connections that I no longer use) meant the dnla share started working again no problem (and without clearing any near by devices data again).
Hope my experience gives some pointers to others out there to get theirs working!.
Edit 2:
Still getting a grey DNLA inactive screen, but by turning your wifi off and on, on your phone a few times (in range of your wifi network) it seems to jump DNLA into life . . . hope it helps
Edit 3:
Seems that going into advanced settings in wifi (go into wifi settings not just turning it on) and altering the wifi sleep policy seems to correct the issue, I toggled from 'never turn off' to 'turn off', then back on again, and DNLA app seems to work fine now . . ...

i have tried all your recommendations through 3 edits and it does not seem to fix my dlna. i still cannot turn on file sharing without clearing data in applications manager. how do we tell samsung about this. this is the only problem ive been having with my phone so far.
I also wrote some work around here:

It's of course not a solution but maybe it helps a bit.

open the window and wait 5-10 seconds and it starting then Disable content "music","images" and "videos" in the nearby devices settings, and tne next time it works fine!
I've been having this issue since day 1 of getting the phone, took it to store and they couldn't figure it out and said as it's not a fault they couldn't exchange it. For me it was a fault as the main reason I got the phone is to stream media to my TV and the blu ray in living room. Thanks to this thread I am now able to do this, tapped on some of the options several times until a pop up appeared and got it working.
Seem's like a odd bug which I hope Samsung update with the JB update.
Connect to your wireless router with your wifi
then toggle your wifi direct on
go in near by devices and wait until screen come to life (not geyed out)
don't touch the screen while waiting it doesn't help.
it can take a second or two or even a minute or so (keep the screen on by looking at it)
when it light up it's up and running.
DLNA greyed out
FYI:
I found the problem to be related to the number of files (multimedia in general so mp3, jpgs, mp4 etc) on your external SD card: if you have several thousands of pictures and mp3 files like I do on a 32GB or 64GB SD card, it is near impossible for this service to enumerate them without lagging(!). You can see for yourself by simply unmounting the external SD card (settings -> memory -> unmount SD card) and then entering the DLNA sharing: you will see the option turns white after a mere second and you can enable or disable the service rather quickly without problems. Even if you untick the sharing of Video, Images and Music, after mounting the SD card and re-enabling the DLNA sharing service, you will still see the option greyed out. It is trying to enumerate in any case all the MM files on your SD card but takes a hell of a long time before it finishes, becoming white again. Why it is so slow is up to the developers to find out as it shouldn't. I suspect there is a scanning bug somewhere in the enumeration process.
You can enable a debug option which will popup a window if an app is taking a long time to respond or is hanging so you can see what app is causing the problem. You'll see that even after you go back to the main screen once you have selected the DLNA sharing menu (which is greyed out), the phone is sluggish as it is scanning the SD card and after a couple of minutes the warning will popup allowing you to terminate the service or wait until it is finished. You can enable this option in the developer options page, last setting "show all ANR" (or NRA as mine is not in English). I suggest you all to keep this option always enabled as it will give you more insight on what apps are causing your phone to lag and are problematic.
This should be reported to the developers at Samsung or Google/Android as I'm certain it is not a major problem to be fixed.
My S3 has currently build BLH3.
As a side note, unfortunately my popcorn A-110 which has DLNA support, is no longer working with the S3 built in "share" button that pops up in the player (top left): it sees my popcorn but when I try to "export" the song clicking on the button, it just fails to playback. Similarly, when I enable the DLNA sharing, my A-110 sees my S3 but only see the images but it fails to show them. It doesn't even list the songs. This is a fimrware big in the A-110 though (it seems it only lists jpgs and avi files and not mp3 files). My LG P990 does however work with my A-110 correctly playing back songs (though the scanning function is not working) and images. I guess it's time I got a more recent popcorn though it'sa pity as mine work so well for over 3 years.
Anyhow, I hope this shed some light on the matter
Edit: sorry guys, I just read the post by foo - so this one's kind of a double :/

Hi
Yes I think this is main part of the problem.
However I think this part of the problem is caused by a combination of the type of SD card and the mounting of the card.
I was using all the tricks mentioned above then I discovered what you did.
What seems to be causing the SD card problem is the mounting of the card it don’t seem to mount properly (even though the rest of the phone seems to operate fine). I simply unmounted removed card remounted repeated a few time. That seemed the get a more stable mount…..
On some phones I’ve found it necessary to remove SD card contents to a laptop and reformate the SD card in the phone. Again I reformatted the card 2 or 3 time for luck (not in laptop but in the phone). Put contents back on and the phones can now access the SD card without problem…

Yes, I had formatted this SD card on my prior phone (LG P990) though I did not reformat it on this phone. I have had the problem you mention before on other flash devices and it appears the mere disposition of the files in the sdcard/ssd influences access times for certain files depending on where they are (all controllers now write files in random blocks to avoid cell deterioration). This all leads back to the diatribe about defragging or not flash / SSD devices. This really depends on the controller inside the flash device basically. In any case, simply defragging the SD card DOES help, and resolves the laggy access problems most of the time. I will do this on my Sandisk 32GB SD card (again) and see if access times improve and this lag problem improves.On a side note, writing the whole card with a certain hex pattern also helps the access times. I do this regularly on my SSD device on my laptop after I delete/defrag many files. If I don't, it starts lagging like hell after some time.
Cheers
I've been using this ROM for about 1 month now, recently whenever I press HOMEKEY or when I exit any large apps like Facebook or Opera Mobile all the apps vanish just like it would when you turn on the phone and after few seconds it comes back. Its similar to startup - preparing SD card effect. Any solutions to this problem guys ?
And its not just the apps installed in SD card but both, the whole screen becomes blank for a few seconds.

that's a known problem u can't do anything to it i really dont think so
maybe try using another framework
Running the newest version, which I've rooted and installed CWM on. I did this today and have had the problem for at least two weeks so it's unrelated. Every time I reboot my phone, (or it dies and I turn it back on) MOST of my apps have disappeared from my front screen. And the apps list in the launcher is reverted back to some default setting. For example, if I place Snapchat and Instagram on my front screen, they will disappear on reboot, but Root Browser doesn't.
What can cause this? I do believe I moved some apps from internal storage to SD card, or the other way around but this was long before I noticed this issue ( I THINK!). Any idea guys?
