I've been using a Samsung Galaxy SIII for almost a month now and it has been working perfectly fine for me most of the time but it kinda has a sickness, like everyday it has to crash once then everything goes fine again from there.
It just pisses me off why it has to crash every single day. Like I'm just doing the normal things I do then it suddenly freezes for around 10-15 seconds then it's like the system crashes then it will automatically reboot with a black screen then it will turn on again.
Help please! Thanks in advance!
Factory reset your device and flash stock rom with odin.But if you don't want to wipe your device before wiping try to use a different kernel and a different rom.

If your phone is under warranty, i don't advise you to do wipe, uploading kernel or something... If your phone is stock, send it back to the warranty service and let them scan your device. If your device is under warranty but rooted, unroot it and send it back to the service.
If it is not under warranty, upload a more stable kernel or flash a stock firmware, after doing a full wipe, factory reset, etc.

Hello all.
I need help and I hope I can receive it asap.
My phone has been turning off on its own quite a bit, but every time I catch it, I would just turn it back on and everything will be back on its way. I can't think of why it would turn off on its own though.
Just now, I was just on gtalk and pressed the power button to turn off the screen. When I tried to press it again to wake it back up, it's off. I turned it back on, it loaded but everything was being force closed. Gmail, Facebook, Calendar etc. So I freaked out and turned it off to restart. Afterwards, when I tried loading it, it got stuck at the loading screen (where there's the yellow triangle). I tried restarting multiple times but it's still stuck there.
I have rooted it and I never had any problems up until now. I have Checkrom V4 (I don't know which kernel, whichever it installs itself). This isn't the first day that I installed this rom either, I've had it for a while now but the problem just got worse today.
I can get into CWM BUT I do not want to restore until I absolutely need to. (this is because I haven't done a backup recently on CWM)
I really hope someone can help as I live off of my phone!
Please and thank you!!

Thanks Chris.
I guess this can be closed as my phone started working all of a sudden.
But I still cannot explain why it would turn off on its own...
go in recovery do a factory wipe and then go stock...

I wouldn't take it for granted that your phone has just mysteriously "rectified" itself. There is something up. I still suggest following the instructions on the thread I posted above if it does it again.

Hello, I have some big issues with my S3.
I have been using Android Revolution HD v29 for a long long time and a week ago I decided to update it to v52. Everything was working well, but then the camera started acting weird ( it had some pink lines ) but it wasn`t such a big problem and I let it go. Today, the power button became very sensitive. Even a simple touch turns the screen on and a press opens the power off menu.
Now, it is restarting itself all the time, I took the battery out and now when I put it back on, the phone starts without touching the power button. I tried going to download mode but after a time it restarts again. I am worried that if I try to install a stock rom, it will restart again and I can do more damage to my phone.
What should I do ? I am posting here because I don`t think this is a ROM issue because everything was working fine, it seems to be a hardware problem. My phone is still in warranty but it is rooted atm.
I hope you guys can help me

It's a hardware problem, the power button is daamaged or stuck (thats why it turns itself on with battery). Also, pink lines on the camera are symptom of a bad contact, you should also get that camera checked.
Try and get it stable. Maybe open it and try to get the power button to stop resetting the device.
Next, triangle away, and flash a stock rom with odin (follow the guide on getting back to factory state with 0 flash counter). Remember that to avoid having the binary flash count at 1 you have to turn it off after triangle away finishes resetting the counter and before the phone boots android. Then flash a stock rom with odin.
Best of luck.
I did a factory reset right now and it seems to be better. The autoreset has stopped, I don`t know it it is because of the factory reset or the button is working fine for the moment, but at least I can flash a stock rom now.
Anyway, the camera issue and the sensitive button are still there.
L.E : I am now back to full stock and everything works fine, if the problems come back I will take it to warranty.
Thanks for your help !!
Hi,
I'm looking for some general advice and troubleshooting for my phone's issues. My phone started crashing very often, sometimes at complete random, as well as when I was using it fairly heavily (any app that froze my phone for a second before loading before the crashing would now crash my phone). Sometimes it would reboot fine, other times it would bootloop once or twice before reloading fine. I previously tried doing a factory reset, removing my external microSD card, and updating everything via Kies and nothing worked.
I got bored and rooted my phone, did a full wipe, and flashed the latest Infamous update. The problem was still there but it wouldn't crash as often while using it because my phone could handle higher app activity but it's still there. Oddly enough, after flashing Infamous, it often fails to reboot and so I have to do a battery pull before turning it back on, otherwise it won't even vibrate after holding the power button.
I'm just wondering if you guys have any idea what the issue could be. Is it likely still something I can fix? Is this potentially a battery issue or is it a hardware issue?
Thanks so much!

So when your phone have become unstable , in what condition it was ? did you ever flash it before ... so my s2x did the same thing afer a update with odin on 4.2 ... so i have reflashed it and evrything was working good after
got home last night from work, started using my nexus 9. I placed it on the bed screen went off. a few minutes later tried to use it again,
noticed that it was very sluggish, apps did not want to load. everything running very slowly. Then screen goes off again and it restarts. takes a while to restart about 2 -3 minutes, then comes back very sluggish again, I tried to load apps, it restarts again.
At this point I am about clear cache and start trouble shooting , did not get to wipe cache. it starts back up again, then does not run sluggish I am able to use it. been fine since yesterday.
Wondering if Internal Memory card is going bad I read others having similar issues, Not sure if I should send mine back.
I do not want to be with out a tablet.

It could be a rogue app as well, but did you try a factory reset? If that continues after a reset then just get a replacement.
it has been fine since I have not tried the reset yet, but I will if the problem comes up again.
Hi all
I tried going to a Lollipop ROM on my S2 but I only managed to change the recovery, the ROM didn't work (boot loop) so I used ODIN to revert back to the stock ROM (i9100XWLSW) wiped both the data and dalvik cache. I did also have Kingroot installed during all this and I installed it again after flashing the stock ROM but I've since removed that too with another write of the stock ROM via ODIN.
The problem I'm having now is Whatsapp and other apps won't actually do anything if the device is asleep. The WiFi appears to be connected, logo is present at the top if i wake the device but it takes about 10 - 30 seconds of being inside an app (such as Whatsapp) for anything to happen. I'm not sure if this is a WiFi issue or some sort of app issue across the board? I woke up today at 9am checked my phone there was nothing on it. It was only at 10:30am when I went to send a Whatsapp message to someone and opened the app manually that i had messages come in from 8am that morning. I also use Whatsapp Web and some times it won't connect to the phone via WiFi even if the device is awake. I have to reboot and try again. Although if it's connected via Whatsapp Web and asleep messages come in no problem at all both on the PC and the phone??!!!!
It's doing it constantly now, at the start it was touch and go but now it's all the time i have to constantly check the app for messages to come in. This happens on other apps too.
What's going on? Have i damaged my device some how from the flashing process? I'm pretty familiar with ODIN as I used to flash my old Galaxy Apollo all the time but never had this problem.
I was going to get a new phone but I actually really like my S2 and it actually keeps up with most of the phones in my price range and in some cases (camera, AMOLED screen, storage, sometimes RAM) it is better than the new stuff!
Any idea's please?
Never mind went and got myself a nice Note 3 instead...
Thanks guys.
