I had this problem before, but apparently not was a hardware problem from me. Other than this, and my phone kept on showing that it was being charged while unplugged, and and also showed weird signs (warning triangle with a thermometer). A visit to the Samsung customer care solved it when they fixed the circuit board.

-flash another ROM, possibly ICS ROM (power off issue should be relieved after)
-then use triangle away app to clear the yellow triangle. Download here: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114

Clockwork Power Off

I noticed that every time I select the power off option from CWM my phone turns back on in like 10 seconds. Anyone else got this?
Sent from my Super Galaxy Ace using XDA.
Which CWM ?
This was sent from a Galaxy Ace. Problem?
I get that everytime, never minded. Happens to me with both cwm4 and cwm5 on stock KP3, ddqk8 and stock based roms. Never tried doing it on cm based roms.
yeah, happen to me too.
I'm using this version of CWM.

Umm... no. Its not. For it to happen to a lot of people on different roms and kernels? You really think its a kernel issue?
It's probably an issue with cwm and it's also probably related to the type of kernel. To say the truth, I don't think it's that big a deal. It has posed no real problems to me when flashing, and if anything, removing the battery will do the trick. A minor inconvenience in an otherwise perfect tool.
yes, i encountered this issue too. I wonder how to turn off phone from recovery without take out battery
But NOT big deal for me

Its not a big deal, but its annoying. You'll have to wait till your phone boots to be able to turn it off. Taking off the case, then taking off the battery cover and taking out the battery is a lot of work to just turn your phone off.

You are completely right. However, it's a free tool.
I mean, even the stock Samsung firmware gives Fc and issues every now and then and they do get paid by us users (both on acquisition and through Google adds, and free marketing data)

[Q] WIFI SLEEP POLICY doesn't work....SUGGESTIONS?!!??

I have a GT I9100 with Android 4.0.4, the last English firmware.
If i set the Sleep Policy to turn off WIFI when screen goes off, I have no result: WIFI still goes on & on also when screen is locked. I tryed several official ROM, and to resolve this bug I tryed also CustomROM like CM...but no result. It seems like there is an Hardware problem.
I also tryed to edit "com.android.providers.settins" by creating inside the database, the string "wifi_idle_ms" (because i haven't this string by default) with a custom value.
After reading other posts, I decide to ask you, so, anyone has more informations?I don't want to install third part apps even if I know they exist...
It doesn't turn off with the screen, it turns off after several minutes. Not sure exactly what the time-out period is, but is well in to double figures.
Since WiFi is the least of your battery drains, don't worry about it.
Mmm the setting I use is wifi off when phone in sleep state. Not sure how long it takes for the phone to enter into a sleep state.

all the roms have this problem with me, but i see many people with this issue.....
Have you tried completing full wipes and formating system in cwm then installing your chosen rom. This will be a clean start for your phone, if it persists perhaps it is an hardware issue.

Hello friends,

And when I try turning on blue tooth the phone automatically gets restarted.. Please help.. I bought this phone without bill so couldn't take it to service center.
Thanks in advance

Can you please give details about your phone? Model, ROM, kernel, is it rooted? Perhaps a screenshot of the "about" section?

No, rooting won't change anything, so no use in this case. You're completely stock, so it MAY be a hardware issue. Did it work when you bought it initially? Or has it been like that since you unpacked it?
Also, you're on 4.0.3. Upgrade to 4.0.4 and see if the problem persists. Update via KIES and do nothing else after upgrading (don't do a data wipe or anything else).

Wifi works 5 out of 10 times whereas regarding blue tooth, when I turn it on it automatically restarts.. Bluetooth did work initially... Will try updating to 4.0.4 and let you know the status.

Hi,
I noticed the same behavior if I am turning on the WiFi, while data communication over 3G is done at that moment. The WiFi freezes, the phone starts to heat and if to turn on the screen lock after sometime the phone will not be turned on until the battery is removed. If to look at battery usage statistic after the battery removal you will see the gap in it.
It does not happen if the WiFi is turned on while the communication over 3G is not done.
Tried to search for solutions, but unfortunately it was not successful.
So decided to keep the WiFi turned on constantly, just to avoid this issue.

Workaround I found is when you try turning on wifi and if it doesn't turn on immediately ... Just restart your phone, the wifi will be turned on, instead of removing the battery and putting it back.

@OP: If you recently purchased it go back and they'll give you another one that will not have that issue. If you bought it from someone else, well, there we can start talking about flashing and what not.

HELP! S3 touchscreen not responding.

Since yesterday I am facing this problem.
Last evening the touchscreen of my phone just stopped responding. It happened so: all of the sudden the touch wouldn't respond. Pressing the power button to switch of the screen for sleep mode was not happening. The last thing I had done was pull down the notification bar so that so it was stuck there. I pressed and held the power button to restart and it worked fine. After a few hours again it happened. Restarted again. Worked. But now everytime its happening. It stops responding. I restart then it works for 2-3 minutes and stops responding and again Ihave to restart and again it stops after a couple of minutes.
I tried going into recovery mode and download mode and it enter and it charges properly also.
Also, last night I switched the phone off and I left it on charge annotd today morning when I switched it on the problem is still there.
please help me out
My galaxy s3 is rooted and its running on stock rom 4.1.2 and siryah kernel.
Is it a hardware problem or software? What can be done?
Another thing just happened now. It stopped responding while I was watching a video on youtube. The screen didnt respond but the video was working and after a while the video stopped but the audio was still playing!

Its not 4.2 It's 4.1.2 Using the official one. And I have been using the siyah kernel for over a month now. Never seemed to cause a problem and never updated anything.
And no I didnt take out the battery. I just kept it switched off. Anyway I will do that too now.
R: HELP! S3 touchscreen not responding.
Okay....so you did nothing? Perhaps you're stressing the cpu/gpu too much and kernel does not totally support 4.2.x yet....try flashing perseus kernel also, it cant hurt...

Should I flash stock firmwire then try rooting it again and then flash the kernel?
The thing is I used to use my phone while on charge. A friend says the circuits must have gone haywire but this doesn't seems like a hardware problem.

If u use your phone while on charge that only harms the battery (it will make it last less...but it is inevitable anyways who dooesnt use phone whike on charge)...
What would be the very best option would be to factory reset through recovery (u have clockworkmod right?) (U can save apps with titanium backup) and flash a new rom and THEN a new kernel.
If you flash foxhound it comes with kernel already backed.
BUT before doing this (nobody likes to start off fresh) just try flashing another kernel first(or try and get an updated version of siyah kernel, maybe you got the s2 variant, which has a higher build version than the s3, making it look obsolete).

Gt-8160L/Ace 2 serious problem.

As seen in the title.. I own a Samsung galaxy ace 2. The problem i am having is that..basically sometimes, turning on my phone, it would boot come on... But every process would crash repeatedly. The phone would not be operable. Only solution would be to restore a backup made via cwm.
This problem doesn't happen every time i restart my phone. It happens when either my batt is low or less than half... And i have to restart for some reason...or if the batt died and i try turning on the phone before the batt level is charged past half.
Not sure whats causing the problem. My phone isn't rooted atm. I only have my kernel changed which is cwm. Os is 2.3.6. GB was previously rooted... But i get boot loops whenever i try to root it now. Thanks in advance.

Go stock unless you are sure of what you are doing. Flashing ROMs with built in Kernels are safer and more garunteeing.
