Phone reboots several times a day...... - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey,
I have a problem and I really don't know what is causing this. My GS3 is restarting several times a day, it seems it happens especially when it is in my jeans pocket and I change my seating position or something like that, so maybe the on/off button gets pushed or maybe there is some pressure on the phone for a short moment, but all this shouldn't lead to a phone restart?? It also happens several times in a really short time, so sometimes it restarts, I just type in my pin, put it back into my pocket and after 15 seconds, it happens again...... What could be the reason? It happenend with the Stock Rom(bought it at Amazon) and also now after the update to 4.1(official), so that might be not the reason.
Any ideas how I can fix this?

Hard to say really, we'll have to go through a process of elimination. First thing to try is to backup you're phone using Ti or take a nandriod backup then factory reset the phone removing all personal data and app. Dont install any apps for a day or two and see how it is. If ok then put all you're apps back on and then see how it is. You may find that something broke when you put 4.1 on over the top of 4.0, happened to my sister or her Galaxy s2.

Is doing a full wipe too much trouble?
If not, I'd go down that route and then observe if any apps reinstalled make it misbehave.

HELP! Phone Keeps resetting or freezing, what do I do?

I noticed earlier today my phone kept freezing.
the phone HAS been freezing on me recently, at least once an hour
but now every 3 minutes it freezes or resets itself. I have missed a LOT of calls and ttext messages etc.
today has been a disaster. i havent even synced my numbers and contacts. what should I do?
if you haven't installed anything new or tweaked just before the problem started:
as usual - backup and hard reset...
There is a free program called "pim backup" that will backup all your contacts, messages and call log. Then you can do a hard reset.
my phone freezes before I can even back up anything. its the worst
now it seems like if my phone is plugged in and charging, it gives no problem, but as soon as I unplug it, frozen.
im going to try to find PIM backup to see what that can do
wow now I have a bigger problem now. my phone fell and the transcriber cracked so only part of the screen works with touch BUT that was before I hard reset the phone and now the screen align is appearing but I cant touch all of the targets
is there a way to bypass this?
When its at the align screen you can plug it into computer and connect with active sync. Delete the Welcome shortcut from Windows/startup and soft reset. That should skip the alignment. Sorry to hear about the phone. I have a couple moguls if interested PM me about it.
I am having the same issue he was before he cracked his screen up.
I get freezing whenever the phone goes into standby and it will only restart with 2 hits of the reset button. Also it is a coinflip as to whether it will actually start up fully or just keep soft reseting for an extended period without ever loading up fully.
Anyone have any incite or ideas. I am running a ppckitchen vs of windows mobile 6.5 now. It is a kitchen version with few added programs. However I also experienced something similar to this issue with Titan Reloaded 1.3.4 as well but it stopped so I never bothered looking into it. Now this problem occurs about 10-15 times per day and it is frustrating. I am out of warranty and cant send my phone in because I replaced the housing myself.
Thanks
Dave
Also, I have US Cellular if you need to know that.
Thanks
Dave
I had the same problem kind of. Out of nowhere mine would lockup or freeze randomly. Usually after being in my pocket, after hitting all the buttons or squeezing it, it would work again (sometimes but usually after numerou reboots) but then lockup shortly after or flipping the case open and closed. Finally took the case off my phone and blew inside it today put it back together and havent had a lock up all day (1st time since i started havin the problem). It wasnt rom related as i had the same rom for a while, tried reflashing to different kinds of roms and radios but same random lockups. Somethin musta been loose
Well, I went to take my phone apart, probably the 8th or 9th time that I've done it and I ended up ripping the cable for the screen right off. So no more HTC for me for awhile. Unless of coarse someone wants to mail me a cable for free (im broke in college and my rent is due soon.) By judging by how easily the cable ripped I would bet the crease I found right by the rip had already had a slight tear in it.
Thanks for your help.

Phone randomly restarting and not booting up

So i see there are a few other threads but none that i found were quite like this. My phone randomly restarts and goes to the white screen that says stick together and won't load back up, also when i reset or take the battery out unless i have held the phone infront of my AC in my car or put it in the fridge/freezer it will not boot back up, it has heat issues but it's not actually that hot, i used to play playstation games and it would get much hotter and not freeze like this, it randomly started happening a couple of months after I got it.
it will freeze often in any temperature that is not considered cold, even in room temperature it will do it, any time i try to load my playstation emulator or use the internet it has a very high chance or resetting and not booting,
if the phone gets warm at all though it's a garuntee that it is going to happen, it just depends on when, i could just be finishing a call, sending a text etc, it will happen, and the only cure is putting it in the fridge.
i'm going to guess I have a virus of some sort or something really messed up in the ROM, but i've switched ROM's and it still does it,
should i do the SD card hspl back to SPL and try to find a legit original rom copy or is there a better solution for this? i.e deleting all my addons and going with a different ROM?
my rom history is TOUCH XTREME, Miri and Dinik(this is where it started) and now Energy(it is still happening here)
might be a good idea to go back to stock, though you dont need to remove hspl at this stage, just flash your phones original rom over usb, and have a real close look at the battery pins, they can often get bent leading to all kinds of reboot issues.
If its still the same under stock rom, then maybe remove hspl (no need for sd card flashing, can remove it using hspl2/hspl3(for tmous))
one of my pins was actually bent a while back! i bent it back to the shape it's supposed to be and used a safety pin to widen it back up so it looks like the rest, do you think that caused permanent damage? and if so is there something i can do to the pins to make it work right again? and not reset so easily
Well, i reflashed the stock SPL and ROM and yeah it won't even turn back on, just stays on the white stick together screen. it's done, being replaced by tmobile next week.
hmm, could be, perhaps if the pin is cracked a little, affecting power flow. not sure what to suggest.
I got the exact same problem as lllpulselll. I have already done a lot of things but none of them worked for me.
I did an hard reset
Tryed a lot of different rom's
Used the telephone al while without SD-card but still the same problem.
But I read somewhere that ik could also been your Sim-card, is that logic or not?
And by me also one of the pins by the battery is not right so I will that try to.
(Sorry for that bad English)
looks similar to overheating, you could install BattClock (it can monitor batery temperature) to check whether the self-reset happens at the same conditions,
had the same issue, finished with new mainboard (replaced under warranty),
during worst moments before repair I had to put my Leo in the fridge for few minutes before it could restart

That's probably it then, probably bent the metal things connecting to the battery and messed up the flow causing the battery to overheat or think it's overheating somehow. sucks that that is all that's wrong with it and it has to be replaced, wish the prongs could be repaired.

not necesserilly so don't blame yourself - mine had faulty mainboard (not battery) probably from the very beginning, but as it was purchased in winter, the symptoms did not show up until late spring, when outside temps grew

.21 screwed it all up..., ( sleep of death ? )

Had no problems what so ever with my software until i updated to .21, ( others had flickers, signal problems and stuff like that. ).
How ever the last update seem to have given my tablet the "sleep of death" issue, so it seems to be called atleast, after putting it into sleep it wont wake up unless i hold the power button and let it turn off and then power it back up, happen twice and i just recently updated to .21.
have you tried a soft reset to see if it might clear it?

A soft reset is needed just to get the thing working again... It happens again after that, so no, it doesn't really solve anything.

soft reset doesn't mean you have to reinstall everything again. that's a hard/factory reset. soft reset you just stick a paper clip in the little hole underneath the memory card slot.
I don't have that issue at all. I think 2-3 people reported it or from what I've seen so far.

ah, thought soft reset refered to factory reset and hard reset was equalent to nvflash, so just pressing the reset button is wourth a try...
Is this the problem where the screen goes black like usual and when you tap power it doesn't come back on no matter how many times you press power?
This started happening to me after the update, but all I had to do was tap the volume button and then the power button would start responding again.
Hope the fix is that simple for all of you.

Well, its wourth a try, to bad i didnt read the topic before i used the reset button after this nights black screen...
I'm having the same problem. I'll try the methods described above and report back.

It happened to me again and the volume trick didn't work this time. Holding power for about 10 seconds to restart still worked though. Are all Android tablets this unstable? As much as I love the whole idea of Android, the minor to serious kinks I regularly encounter with this thing are pretty aggravating.
It happended twice to me after the upgrade. Had to keep pushing power for like 10 seconds.

Before I had the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and had no problem. Like you said, is pretty aggravating, specially when my wife have an ipad 2 and always is talking about what smooth is her ipad.
Started happening to me as well. Never had any problems with prior updates now I've gone to shutdown 2 times since making an update. The method described above doesn't work for me.

its just a software issue introduced with the latest patch and sins it wasent there before the patch its hopefully removed within the next update.
*edit* - it have happen a couple of times now for me and i tried spaming the crap out of the buttons with no result so the only working method is to hold the power button to it goes off or the soft reset button...
I posted this in another thread, but thought I'd put it here also in case the other one is too far down. This is working for me.
I've been having this since the latest update as well. It happens whether it's on the charger or not. So far I haven't had it out of the dock long enough to know if being docked has anything to do with it, but I do know that removing it from the dock once it happens doesn't clear the issue. However, I did notice that if I go under Settings > ASUS Customized Setting > BATTERY SAVING and uncheck MobileDock Battery saving mode, it doesn't seem to happen. After I did that it didn't happen for about 36 hours, but as soon as I re-checked it to test, it happened the first time it went to sleep. Maybe a coincidence, but prior to that I couldn't make it more than a couple of hours without it happening. Might be worth a try as a work around if you're having this issue. After it happened to me again, I unchecked the setting above again and have had no SoD since.
This has happened to me 3 times now since the update and the only way to get any response on is by holding the power button for 10 seconds. Mine has always been docked and plugged into the charger when this happened.

yea, saw this in the other post and tried it to, havent worked for me tho, :/, im gonna undock the tablet this night and ill see if it happens again this morning without the dock, so far it have happpen every morning with and without the charger plugged in, and even while it was a sleep in my bag at work, ( while in the dock ).
I had this happen for the first time today.
I lost about an hour of productivity as it took me ages to work out I had to hold the power button for just over 10 seconds to get it to force a shutdown.
I'm guessing everyone here has a dock who is getting this issue.
Lastnight I enabled the network deep sleeep and dock sleep in asus custom settings.
Anyone using the same? and getting the issue.

[Q] Very annoying and weird problem

After riding my motorcycle in the rain, my P780 started turning itself off and on. I assume the power button sort of makes contact from time to time. At first it would allow the phone to boot before shutting down and then power on. Now it's just resetting itself every few seconds.
Has anyone heard of something like this happening? My 2 problems:
1. How do I stop it? I'm afraid it will break for good with all the shutting on and off. I can't stop it because I cannot remove the battery. I am in Vietnam and don't have access to any tools. So I just here a vibrating sound every 2 seconds or so when it turns on. The screen flickers a bit, then it shuts itself down. Repeat.
2. How the hell will I explain my problem to a service? Nobody speaks English here and I am not in one of the big cities.
I have no idea if the water played a role in this. Maybe it's a coincidence. The phone is currently in a big bowl of rice. I have no idea if it will do something. It's been there for over 3 hours and the battery doesn't seem to be giving out soon.
So yeah.
Help!
edit: it stopped resetting.. Now it just stays with all three buttons lit.

Hi,
Something similar happened with me also. Last week I was using the phone and suddenly it slept from pocket and
fall into full bucket of water. Immediately after this I taken out my phone from bucket and saw that it was starting again and again.
Without wasting anytime I dis mental my phone and kept under hair dryer and gave heat so that all water can get dry.
It was my luck that when giving heat and assembling it. It started working.
Now it is almost a week since this incident was occurred. everything working normal.
Hope it should help you.

This afternoon I took it to a shop. The guy took the battery out, put it back in. Phone starts working. After a few hours same thing starts happening again. At least now I got a video and I can show to him tomorrow. I still don't know what the real issue is.
Indeed the power button contact was at fault. After fixing that (twice, because I managed to fill it with water again) I have a new set of problems:
1. The signal of both phone cards is awful. Useless 99% of the time. I see a lot of people have this issue
2. The security applications magically changed to chinese and there doesn't seem to be an option to turn it back to english (this coming from a mandarin speaking girl I met on a bus)
3. I constantly get the message that I cannot install applications because I have no space available on the phone. I just run the chinese security app cleaner and it ejects 250MBs of garbage.
I guess installing a custom ROM might fix this? I don't know almost anything about ROMs and it is really important I don't brick the phone. My phone seems to alteady have a custom ROM. I have Vibeui 2.0. Do you have recomandations for a stabile and easy to install english ROM?
Thank you very much

Hi. Try to install a fresh new stock ROW firmware or custom ROM called Life. From Life you could try flashing modem software from my post How about some modems.

On the third point, no space available on the phone, either you're really out of space (check it, due to weird partitioning of the internal storage, might be true, but if you are trying to install through Play store (and know you have some space left), there is a known issue with the MTK chipset and Google Play Services version, giving this error. My workaround was to uninstall Play Store (it will not uninstall, but roll back all updates), then quickly install/update apps because the Play Store will update itself automatically again (can't stop it). Very annoying, but it works... After I upgraded to KitKat, no more issues with Play Store.

[Q] TF201 random reboots, only when being used.

I just picked up a Prime for $50. The guy said "sometimes it reboots itself". I knew I had heard of it before so $50 didn't bother me. I picked it up and when I got home I noticed it was bent. I Thought maybe that was causing something to short so I opened it up and straightened it (mostly as best I could) and it seemed to boot faster but still reboots randomly but only if it's being used. Never reboots while sleeping. Sometimes it hangs and I have to force it, other times it has no WiFi on the reboot and I have to reboot or again. I tried the double factory reset thing I read somewhere but it did a random reboot during initial setup with no apps on it not even connected to WiFi yet. Did I get a bad one? Any other way to fix it? No dock, no micro SD card in it, says there are no updates for it. It sat perfectly fine for 6 hours with no reboots without being used and as soon as I opened the play store it rebooted. Happens with our without being held so I'm fairly certain it isn't a short. Everything looked fine inside when I had it open. Help?

Go to settings and post the device info and kernel info for the tablet please (screenshot the whole screen will probably be easier).
It might be running a custom kernel and the voltages might be too low for your specific machine.
Tablet isn't really reliable enough to be used that long so I just took a picture. Sorry it's sideways, we all know how iPhones work lol.

That is the last official firmware and kernel that Asus released for the TF201 so it is not a custom kernel causing it.
At this point it might be worth you trying to flash a custom rom to see if it makes it any better because you don't really have anything to lose.
Another option is to sell it on ebay for the screen. You will more than likely get your money back off someone who just needs that part.
You thinking it's more software related? Would it make it through the flashing process without bricking?
It has to be software related I think. I was just able to run a full antutu benchmark with no reboots. There may be a more strenuous hardware test but I don't know what it is. I just figured I'd try to make it so the hardest thing I could think of and see how it went. I did leave it on a charger for about 20 hours or so. Wondering if maybe the battery could be an issue?
Edit: Open the Play Store, hit update all, accept all permissions, then it reboots. Seems most common when using Play Store or YouTube.
If it makes any difference if I turn in the tablets "performance mode" it reboots WAY less often. Could the battery be too weak? Idk Jay spitballing here.
