My Xperia U keeps restarting and freezing. It's happened 4 times now.
The first and third times I was typing (Once on Kik, once on Whatsapp) and the whole phone just froze, i had to pull the battery. The second time it just randomly restarted and the forth time happened about half an hour ago, I picked my phone up and it said the simcard had been removed and turned itself off, I couldn't get it to turn back on so I pulled the battery and turned it back on and it still said there was no sim card inserted, so I removed the simcard and put it back in so it restarted itself and it's working ok again now.
The phone is only about a month old. Anyone else had this problem or any ideas how to fix it?
It's running GB if that's important.
This shouldn't happen, at least not on GB. Have you tried a factory reset? Got root?

No didn't see the point of rooting it and no, if I could be bothered to set everything up again after a factory reset i would have installed ICS. lol
Maybe theres a lot of apps running in the bg. Without root without reset only possible way is to remove bloats that you can. Also try a Ram manager app.
Tapatalked !
Wouldn't they show up in running services?
Not all of them
Tapatalked !
Is there any way I can back everything up before doing a factory reset?
You can save the apks using appmonster but then the app data will be lost.
Tapatalked !
So do you think flashing ICS would help? and is it stable enough? I heard a lot of bad things.
And thanks whoever changed my title to something that only describes half my problem =/
I've got the Indian version of ICS and am pretty much happy with it. The Australian version was a nightmare.
Tapatalked !
I was thinking about that french version. Is the Indian version I or A?
And what's wrong with it?

My xperia is rebooting itself several times in the day. I updated to gingerbread to see if the 2.3 fixes this problem but it still there.
Could it be the battery?
Any help would be great
Maybe you can tell us more about your issue. when did it begin ? Does your phone reboot after a specific event ? How did you proceed to the 2.3 update ?
Are you on stock or custom ROM?
Try wipe dalvik and fix permission.
When you update to 2.3.3, did you restore any data from previous ROM?

Hi,
Not sure if this is the same problem but my x10i got quite hot recently and after kept randomly shutting down (mainly when under load but sometimes just sat overnight) I read on a Sony Ericsson thread that quite a lot of people have had the issue and in my situation could be a motherboard problem. (Heres the thread link) ... be warned though it's a long thread!
Took mine back to o2 for warranty repair as by this time it had become unusable ... just opening the browser shut the phone down!. 4 days later I got a refurbished sgs2 as a replacement (which was nice!) and a letter saying they couldn't repair the phone in the alloted time.
Hi
my s3 keeps freezing. the screen basically just freezes while i'm doing something. and the device stops responding to anything.
cant lock it. cant do anything. it doesnt even autolock , the screen just stays on with whatever i was working on.
------------------
the only solution is to wait for it(about 20 minutes) and it will get back to whatever it was doing earlier. or hold the power button and it will reboot.
when i checked my router, i can see that it is still connected. so wifi is working. when i call my number from another phone, it rings but the S3 does absolutely nothing. and after it starts working again, i dont see any missed calls. so anyone who calls me while its "Freezing" will get ignored. i wont even know !!!
---------------
its not related to any app or function.
i updated it to 4.1.2 using odin a month ago (official release, because it would take it forever to get the update in my country) . it was running smoothly. a week ago it started freezing for moments every day or two. now i cant get through 10 minutes of using the device without it freezing for 20 or 30 minutes.
then the screen is turned on and it goes back to normal. and freezes after 10 minutes even if i dont use it.
i've noticed that using WiFi speeds up the freezing. When Wifi is On, it takes about 30s - 3 minutes for it to freeze.
--------
---
I did a Factory reset(full wipe from recovery mode), it worked for about an hour after the reset , and started freezing again like before.
----------------
after researching online.. many people had the same issue. some say its the stock android browser(but i dont use the browser), some said its a glitch in WiFi power saving mode(Disabled it, nothing changed), some said its a problem with the battery(i'm gonna trade batteries with my friend and see what happens).
I'm Freaking OUT !!! ... the device is Very Unstable and i use it on daily basis, i cant live without it. i dont know what to do. i've almost tried everything.
and i've paid alot of money for it
....
.........
i dont know what to do next. probably gonna flash it back to 4.1.1 or 4.0.4
i Hope to hear any ideas from you. or from anyone who had this issue with his device.
thanks in advance
Did you try a full wipe ?
Or maybe trying another ROM?
Try flashing a full stock Rom with a full wipe might that help

Dude, mine did that the first week I got it. Ended up failing and became stuck in Samsung's boot logo. That has nothing to do with whatever rom you're using. Backup and return it to stock if possible/needed, and take it in for a replacement/repair asap.

if i get really frustrated i will wipe it again, and flash it back to stock 4.0.4 ( but i hate ICS, ... JB is soo much better)
Suggest you flash a different kernel and see. Would recommend Siyah or Yank 555
My freezing issues stopped once I did it.

i bought it 7 months ago, returning it is not an option.

and this has never happened before. and it didnt happen after i updated to 4.1.2 right away. it happened a month later
so i'm thinking it has to do with the hardware or some app update thats messing things up.
thnx for replying anyway :good:

No dude, I had frequent freezing issues. Had to always take out the battery and restart.

Did you find any solution for this? Mine has the same symptoms, but only when playing heavy 3D games.
*** ORIGINAL ***
I had this problem for the past two days. I removed my sd card about half an hour ago which seems to have fixed it. Before that it wouldn't even last two minutes without "locking up". I'll report back tomorrow if the problem was fixed permanently.
*** EDIT 1 ***
Nevermind, it froze just a few seconds ago. Keep on looking for a solution.
*** EDIT 2 ***
Well, I didn't touch my phone my phone over night and now it's working just fine. I have no idea why though.
update: my phone has almost stopped freezing. in past 24 hours it has frozen only ONCE !!
i've noticed that the freezing becomes more frequent if i pull the battery or restart by holding the power button.
so i started leaving it to sort it self out every time it freezes. and now its running smoothly.
-------
i'm happy that its working now, but still i wanna know what caused this. and if it will start happening again ??

everyone thnx for the feedback
and i will post updates and new info if i get any !
Mine is fixed
So i was having the same problem as the OP and i fixed my problem... These are the steps i took but maybe not all of them are needed.
Bought Triangle Away and Reset my Flash Counter
Flashed the Stock XXELLA ROM which updated the bootloader
Flashed CWM Touch Recovery 6.0.2.7
Booted in Recovery
Wipe Data / Factory Reset
Booted Normally
Installed crDroid ROM v10 with Siyah Kernel
This was finished at 5:30pm last night and my phone hasn't frozen since.
Spoke too soon
Well,
Phone is now dead.
Completely.
Doesn't turn on anymore.

Hi Ali5anDro31,
Just curious if you have any further updates? Is yours still working well?
It seems I have the exact same problem as you (freezes randomly, more likely to freeze during heavy load but also often within 5 minutes of boot, usually unfreezes in about 20 minutes, and often gets stuck on Samsung logo if forcing reboot rather than waiting).
For a while I thought that following your advice and just letting it unfreeze itself when it happens (even though it takes a long time) it might have been fixed (going 18 hours without a freeze after having about 30 freezes the two days prior), but now I just got one again (within 5 minutes of starting browsing this morning).
Should I stick with it and hope it resolves itself, or take other measures (e.g. see if I can return the phone)?

I keep getting freezes also.
So far, it only happens with XXELLC based roms. When I go back to XXELLA the phone never freezes.
I have tried several XXELLC Roms, but all of them freeze, including Omega and VikingRom.
I'm now on VikingRom v4.1 (XXELLA) and no freezes.
Edit:
Nevermind, now it's happening also on XXELLA roms. All this started happening to me after i installed CM10.1, and then i went directly to XXELLC, of course wiping everything including internal storage.
Spent 2 days with this problem, i'm on XXELLA with a completly unmodified S3 using a 64gb SD card. I think i've fixed it have now been running for 30 hours without a freeze. before it was freezing every 5 minutes, nearly sent the phone back.
Any way my solution is uninstall all updates to samsung 'music hub' and uninstall the samsung push service updates and disable. this seemed to fix it. Can't believe Samsung are putting out software that knacks their own phones.
Hello.. just found this topic..
What color is your S3?
My manager had similar problems and he asked me if i could fix it.. in the end the phone just died.

My dead phone is also a White one from the 1st batch from the UK
Hi there,
i've searched the net for help and didn't find anything similar.
my girlfriend and I both using galaxy S3 9300 4.1.2 bought in June.
In the last few week both of us suddenly saw that the phone turns off while it idle.
In most of the cases the solution was turn it back on, but sometimes it didn't help and we had to take the battery off and back on.
today I noticed for the first time that the phone doesn't really off- since the notification led still flashes.
I'm using apex launcher she use TW.
any idea anyone?
I will be grateful,
Thanks
Or
edit:
both phone are stock rom
mine with the UK Rom
Her with the Indian Rom
both 4.1.2 virsion.
I am having the same problems since last week. Sometimes it also freezes in applications. The GUI thread is then still running because I can see animations from loading dialogs and the wifi indicator also blinks. When this freeze occurs, the device won't react on button presses (except very long press on power button to reboot). Also the device is not going into standby mode (screen off) after 30 seconds.
Maybe this is a side effect of the last update? I am running build version JZO54K.I9300XXELLA (Dutch intl version).
Edit: when it's stuck also the battery is drained very fast.
you might be right and maybe there is a connection between last update and all that bugs suddenly appears.
I update through odin to the newest firmware:
I9300XXEMB1 I9300OXAEMB1 I9300XXMB1 BTU
anyone have a clue?

No idea to be honest, are they both stock phones? Rooted? Could even be something inane like a recent app update that isn't working properly, could be almost anything

both unrooted, both running stock rom.
anyway if so, i guess you wont recommend to back all my app, right?
I would back then up, system data is most likely the cause, so my advice would be just restore app data only where necessary and important

my phone is around 4 months old. it worked perfectly for 3 months even after 2 ota updates.
i have been using wifi hotspot very often lately, the problem seems relatef but i dnt know for sure because it happens even when i m not using wifi.
the tempratures in the area are in low twenties, so it should not be the cause.
the restarts just takes 10 seconds and never more than that.its not annoying but it worries me and this is not for what i paid .

Do you have unlocked bootloader, rooted stock ROM, custom ROM, or something?
If not, maybe you should try reset to factory (if you didn't try already) and wait and see what happens.

Its most likely hardware problem (since htc phones suffers from random restars oftenly) and warranty service should fix it.
You can go to service center and check your device or you can also wait for jb update(if you already don't have)

Have a lot of trouble with the Mini here
And i tried most of the tricks / tips to speed it up
factory reset help only for a few hours. Right now it is 4.4.2 on it
i tried root, link 2 sd and all that., greenify, flashing rom, disable apps, remove bloatware, well a lot...
I unrooted, factory reset again (many times)
same trouble.
It crashes randomly on:
Put on charge
call in
call out
Opening camera
Unlock
Using a program or two.
Seems like memory trouble. but i have alsways 200 / 300 mb free
is it hardware problem?
Try flashing a kdz and factory reset.
Also, try without installing any apps for a day or two.

No hardware fail as the service center said, and delivered back me. (free check and a factory reset, as i haven't tried that before!!!)
Phone has never been dropped, and treated very well. All happened After the last Firmware update (approx 2 months ago, and approx 2 weeks after buying it)
It was OTA update, and i suspect that was it. (wish i knew what firmware it was out of the box, cus it worked PERFECT)
Before the update i didn't think about rooting it, cus my lady (that use the phone) only has like 5 apps. But it still uses alot of memory, but it was holding.
After the OTA, all changed.
So i rooted it, made a ext4 on the sd card, and installed link2sd. worked ok for about 12 hours.
Crashed on Putting on charge, crashed incoming calls, viber, skype, Hangouts, some ticket app for bus and train.
and in general on all apps, cam, phone app and so on.
But it always had 200/300MB free RAM, so that was strange
Factory reseted maybe 4 to 6 times, never helped
Today i flashed KDZ, but has not installed any apps get. So lets see.
seems like the KDZ flash worked out ok.
Been stable now for 3-4 days. But i don't dare to root it, just in case a updates come.
Will it get 4.4.4?

Just had phone at the dealer, and they gave me the same phone back, and told me to wait for the New Software update, as they could not find anything hardware problems on it.
Bet they only tested it for a few minutes, and they didn't experienced any crash either. Problem is that the phone crashes after it has not been used for a few hours, and start to use it.
Didnt help to flash the KDZ either so I'm stucked.
Waiting 3-4-5 months for android L is kinda not a option, so i wanna go back in time:
What i remember, was that the phone was OK before the 4.4.2 version was updated. I do not remember what was on it before, but if someone know what version it could have been installed on it before the latest update came (OTA came around end july/beginning of August -Scandinavia) , and where i can find that KDZ firmware (not latest one, but one before) i would be grateful, and i will test that.
