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.
Out of curiosity, has anyone experienced random hot reboots?
Once in awhile the S3 will stop responding for a few seconds, then effectively hot reboot. All apps close and it reloads the home screens.
Apps no longer appear in recently used. Like I did a full reboot.
T-mobile rooted stock ROM. No other changes or tweaks to the system other than root.
Happened to me twice in the last day. 1st time it happened, I just finished using a flashlight app, 2nd time, it was just sitting there in my pocket.
AT&T Still Unrooted Stock.
This seems to be happening at an alarming rate for me, every other day perhaps. And occasionally during a call (not good)
Find it hard to believe we're the only 2 with this problem.
Maybe no one else stares at it long enough to see it happen. Maybe someone has noticed when they look at their phone their recently used apps have been cleared but don't know why.
Happened to me once during clipboard usage. Tmo here
This has happened to me multiple times within the last couple days on telus i747 rooted and stock rom and kernel.
Happens here also.

The only problems I've ever had were either xda or minimal reader pro locking the phone up, screen goes black, force closes said app and then phone goes back to normal. But it's definitely the app(s) having the issue
Sent from the current Heavy Weight champ GALAXY SIII
happening for me too. rooted AT&T stock. anyone have any ideas?
LG-P760 stock Android 4.1.2
Only basic apps, FB, gmail etc.
1. Factory/hard reset
2. Works around 3-4 days perfectly, then starts to crash.
By crash I mean black screen, nothing helps, only battery pull.
3. After first crash, starts crashing more frequently. Happens only in standby.
Worst was today: If I start phone, log in, then it wont crash before I put it in standby. First time in standby, within 30 second, it had crashed.
twice crashed when someone tried to call me. Vibrated once, then crashed.
I would like to avoid replacing my phone.
Any ideas how to find the source of this problem? Any recommendations?

I had the same problem with Vietnam Rom and it was the baseband. I changed to the baseband from ICS from a Rom of my country so I have Vietnam Rom+Original ICS baseband and everything works well.
Thanks.
Although, I understand it mostly is problem when you have unlocked bootloader.
I am running stock everything.
And they have problem with rebooting phone, mine crashes and freezes.
Weird is that it starts around third day of normal use.
I think I have to take on a quest with a warranty. Does anyone know, can I contact LG straight without the provider, where I bought the phone?

I haven't unlocked it. The problem was the same: SOD sleep of death, when the screen goes off you can't do anything but pull the battery.
But if you can use the warranty use it. You should find the warranty info in the box to know where send it in your city.

Thanks. I will search into it. Sleep of death is new expression for me.
I only have phone, it came from relatives who threw away receipt + box.
Luckily I managed to get new receipt from provider yesterday (I dont think they usually give out receipts twice), so now I can use local warranty.
Thanks everyone for replying. I will post update when I have final solution.
Since you are stock you might want to consider flashing the kdz to see if that helps. Good luck!

I'm having the exact same issue with mine. I've heard everything from "try a different SD card" to "factory reset," and nothing seems to permanently fix the issue. What I've found kind of sort of works is just reboot it a whole bunch until it finally comes up and doesn't do it any more. From there, I'm good to go until the battery runs out or I need to reboot it because all the bloatware is causing it to glitch. This usually means that I have to reboot my device 10+ times in a row every few days. Hopefully, you found a more viable fix than this.

Hi
I managed to kind of solve this issue. Because I am not sure how, I haven't closed thread yet.
Anyway, I warranted device, they re-installed soft. Came back, same thing. After around weeks use, SOD. Factory reset. After that, things went interesting.
I tried not to leave it idle. Always had something running. I also had noticed by the time it never occurred when it was plugged in or music was playing.
One day it did it again, but I was in a hurry and just disregarded it. I did something(I was busy, maybe just plugged it in automatically?) and it came back up. It took like 10 sec for screen to start, but it did just wake up. And it haven't had crash ever since. I have no idea is this solution or is this just some coincidence and I am not keen to factory reset again, to see will it reoccur. It's my only phone
TLDR: Managed to get out of sleep of death, haven't reoccurred since.
Ive had the samsung s4 for about 2 and a half week now. I rooted and romed the phone the day I got it with no issues until a few days ago when I get random shut downs. Every time this happens I would have to turn the phone back on, no battery pull needed to turn it back on. Anyone know how to fix this issue? Should I flash back to the stock verizon mdk? And reset the whole phone.
Without more specifics its hard to determine the root of the problem. Anything specific you did before this started happening? If you cant determinr it then I would backup anything you dont want to erase and then try doing a factory data reset. See if that solves it. If not might have to use odin and restore the phone back to stock.

Anyone else getting random reboots on their Nexus 9? I I have had 3 already this morning, always seems to be when I'm in a Google app - Play, Music etc?
Any ideas how I can diagnose this and stop it happening?
None in my 24hrs of ownership.

If I had random reboots I'd flash the factory image and see if that solves it. If it doesn't them rma the device
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
Well I had it running all morning connected to logcat, and I didn't get one reboot.
If I get another one, I might flash the stock image!
Since I adb restored some of my apps from another tablet I have had nothing but reboots. It's getting very, very annoying.
Is there any logcat or last.kmesg I can get that would tell my why it's rebooting??
UPDATE : Just checked and there is no last_kmsg in /proc, anyone know where it is now?
I had 1 sudden reboot in the 3 days of ownership.
This was after an antutu benchmark (which crashed), then I opened a process viewer app which rebooted the tablet (but otherwise just runs without problems).
almost once a day
i am experiencing random reboots almost once a day. I am wondering if anyone made any progress with these?

Have you flashed the factory image to see if that cures it?
Sent from my Nexus 9 using XDA Free mobile app
I had a single reboot since I bought me Nexus 9 soon after it was released and I use it multiple times a day.
I would highly recommend clearing cache and data for the apps you suspect are causing the random reboots.
If that doesn't work, try resetting your whole tablet.
I never had a single reboot since I bought the device.
Maybe it's because of the restore option at the first start of the tablet? I never restore apps and data and there are no problems.

Factory reset? No. Was it mentioned it fixes issues?
Yes
Me too
I've been getting these too, not quite as frequently though. It also doesn't seem to matter what app I'm using. It really is random. I usually see it happen a couple of times a week. I'm not a heavy user. I've been reluctant to reset and I've been holding off on unlocking, rooting, etc at least until it's out of warranty. I guess it's time to try a reset though.
Has anyone who was having the random reboot issue tried resetting back to factory and confirmed that it resolves the issue? I saw people recommending it but I didn't see anyone state for sure that it had solved the problem for them.
My tablet reboots roughly once per week. I've reset the tablet several times and flashed it twice. I didn't download any apps to eliminate any potential conflicts. All to no avail.
The device info on my profile needs to be updated.
For some strange reason I installed One Drive and my tablet went mad, massive slowdowns, reboots many times a day. Removed it and it's been rock solid since...
my wife's Nexus 9 has random reboots at least once a day, as well. This happened when it was stock and as a test I just put a ROM on it and it still reboots. I'm thinking about calling HTC to see if we can get a replacement.
Did you get an progress on this? Mine is doing it, totally stock not rooted. I'm about to reset and start again. Just want to make sure it's not hardware as I want to look at custom roms and rooting fun
