My S2 has the SOD. If i leave the phone for more than 30-45 minutes Idle/sleep it wont wake up without taking out the battery, or holding the power button for over 10 seconds. It is on a STOCK Rom, not rooted. Running 2.3.6 Gingerbread.
I want to sell this phone to buy a new one but I would like to get this issue resolved first. What can cause this? It was working fine up until a few days ago I did have it rooted before but I used Odin to flash back to stock completely..
Im in dire need of help
Do you have a power manager app such as juice defender?
Sent from my GS4 running CM11 Kandy Kane
I do not, should i install it, when my phone goes into SOD mode i have plenty of battery, once i restart the phone the battery shows plenty of juice..
No those are normally the causes. If you could possibly upload a list (note:list) of your apps that would be great

I'm sure you can find it by searching the forum. Also, try Kies.
Why not just rooted it and put a custom ROM to it? I am pretty sure the person whom buying it from you won't mind getting a custom ROM. Beside that person might end up coming here to XDA and get it rooted and put custom ROM in anyway., just my 2 cents.
I guess i'll try Stock ICS + rooted, see if that works
I just want the phone as stock as possible before I sell it.
well after using Odin to flash ICS Stock + Root from here

It was at about 15-20%
damn was that problem, i figured since its connected while flashing it would be ok?
I've used odin to flash several phones never had issues
any fixes for this
It actually just turned on, well see how it goes

JellyBean ROM. That is my suggestion. I have not had any SOD on mine since I went away from Stock ICS 4.04. You might want to try JellyBean ROM.

You attempted a flash @ 15-20% of battery charge left ?
Did you even read properly the pre requisites needed to even begin a flashing process ??

hello,
My Samsung S3 it has become sluggish or slow reacting to the home button and when I want to Unlock the device. At least a 2-3 second delay before it reacts. I've cleared cache, removed all open/running apps, cleared ram, restarted phone nothing happened.
I try as much as I can to clear everything daily twice a time, but even though it doesn't help. I also clear the Application for Task Manager and Running Application also that I do want, but no joy. I don't browse much, I don't have lots of Pictures of Videos.
I have only installed a few applications;
WhatsApp
UberSocial for Twitter
Gmail Client
Exchange Server Mail configured on it
Andriod Keyboad 2.3 (ASOP)

What is your suggestion about the Cache/Memory?
4.0.4 latest firmware PDA:LFB/ PHONE:LFB / CSC:LF3 (XSG)
Are you using a custom ROM/kernel? If then, return to all stock.
he is on stock indian build
@OP I was on LFB a few days back and it was really snappy for me.
First advice is to stop worrying about cache/memory. Let android handle it. Second try and uninstall cleaner app, reboot and then see

Hello, I don't use any ROM/Kernel at all. it's stock and I never played with it's OS other than upgraded to the latest Android. 4.0.4
There's always a delay when pressing the home button when waking up the phone. This is a hardware problem and the S II, the Note and some other Samsung phones all suffer from it. However 2-3 seconds is too much. Go into S-Voice and disable the "double tap activation" in its settings. It should speed things up a bit.
maybe do a factory wipe/reset?

Hello,
As the title suggests, I have upgraded to the new stock 4.3 ROM (Ireland) and it seems Multi-Window is no longer working.
I activated it from the settings, and I can see it as active from the notification panel, however pressing and holding the BACK button yields nothing.
The rom is STOCK and rooted, apart from the frozen applications (List below) that's about it.
Now I know this ROM is incomplete, however I can only see people talking about the lack of Light Effect (same thing for me) and the lag/ battery drain (Which I was able to improve and fix). I was wondering, does anyone else have the same problem as mine? And if not, does anyone know how to fix this?
Frozen apps list:
Backup 2.5.6 (Samsung's backup)
ChatON
Google Play Books
Google Play Magazines
Google Play Movies
Google Play Music
Music Hub
S Voice
Samsung Apps
Samsung Backup Provider 1.8
all Samsung SyncAdapters
Samsung Link
Samsung Push Service

Solution to the above was doing a wipe data/factory reset.

I assume you have your stuff backed up....
I softbricked my S4 once and I was all but ready to submit a warranty claim and get it replaced then I tried one last thing which was the Verizon Software Upgrade Assistant....you know the software that shows up as a drive when you plug your phone in via usb on your pc......well I went into that and told it to do the recovery thing which wiped the phone totally clean........and when the phone restarted I jumped for joy when it displayed the Android Widget with a progress bar on the screen when it was REINSTALLING 4.3 .
Something along those lines would be worth a try if you got your stuff backed up and you are not worried about loosing any root.
I am pretty sure it was the Verizon Software Upgrade assistant and NOT Samsung KIES (which I had installed also.)
You see I have removed them both from my pc and want to make sure I give accurate information so I want to BE CLEAR that there is a chance it was KIES that I used.
Someone on here should respond to confirm which one does what it did for me...wish I was 100% sure and because I am not I don't want to say for sure which one it was......BUT IT WAS ONE OF THEM and like I said the Android Animation showed up with a progress bar when it rebooted which is the same thing one sees when installing an OTA update.
I hope this helps. I know how it is to be in computer hell or the equivalent.
Just me $.02 worth.

I have an issue that I cannot pinpoint the cause of figure out a solution to. Maybe someone here can help.
My Sprint G3 is always crashing and rebooting the launcher (phone doesn't turn off, just closes evwrything). I'd be in the middle of any app and it will randomly close every single app. The running apps page always displays after every crash. It's as if too much ram is being used, but it will happen even after a fresh phone restart and launching something simple like WhatsApp.
My phone is rooted via the Stump one click method. I don't have any type of rooted mods enabled, only Adfree. I use Nova launcher (paid & updated).
Is there some sort of event viewer that will log the activity of the phone so I probably someone here can see what might be causing the phone to crash? I'm tempted to Unroot and restore back to stock... But if I can avoid that, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks. I've reverted my adfree hosts file and uninstalled it. But I think the issue persists. If I try to use any app that clears cache, specifically Clean Master, when it's doing the scan of apps it'll crash midway through the scan. If I go to system settings > Apps & wait for all the downloaded apps to load the details, it'll crash there too.
This is the oddest thing.
Edit:
This visual may help. It's a video of me running Clean Master & seeing how it just crashes. I can replicate this issue every time like this, but the crashes are random when using other apps.
Link to video: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B9-N9bB35E-QdnY3Zk1FaW9EMXM/edit?usp=docslist_api
Ok, so I began uninstalling some apps that I thought may have been the issue... Which they weren't as the crashing still continues. I decided to reboot under safe mode and the problem occurs there too.
I honestly cannot recall if this began before or after rooting with stump. I may have to Unroot & factory restore. =/

I'm at a loss... The 2 things I mentioned can be the culprits, but not for you I guess. Some other ideas?
Did you uninstall Stump after getting root?
Have you froze or uninstalled any system apps/ priv-apps?
It might even be Nova is having issues.
That's all I got.

Tried to unroot but the phone doesn't move past the "Firmware Update. Do not unplug the phone..." screen after holding Volume Up & plugging into the computer. I installed the drivers before hand. But the "CDC Serial" doesn't update. I attempted to manually update the driver by browsing for the folder, but no go.
I may end up having to go to Sprint and exchange the phone for another one.

TL;DR version = Yes, I did fix it. Factory restore did the trick.
A few days after my last post the phone wasn't as bad as the video. It would still crash and reset but mainly after heavy app usage or when trying to clear app cache using any app like Clean Master.
Once my storage reached about 40% used and I couldn't clear the cache, I began to get constant Play Store error messages. No apps would update. I think it was error 483 or something close to hat number.
Since I couldn't flash back to stock because the drivers wouldn't install, I gave up and tried a factory reset. I nearly sh-t myself bc once I confirmed the restore, the phone didn't want to automatically reset per the instructions. I pressed the button multiple times and nothing. I pulled the battery and when I turned it back on, I got the initial screen with the "powered by android" and then black. It did not wanna do anything. Pulled battery again, same outcome. It left it for maybe 10min and still nothing.
I was ready to go back to sprint and see if I could exchange the phone. While researching the closest store, the phone beeped and the initial android setup screen appeared. This was about 25min of waiting on a black screen.
The phone is now back to working order and it's still rooted. There must have been a corrupt file that was erased/restored once the g3 decided to behave.

TL;DR version = Yes, I did fix it. Factory restore did the trick.
A few days after my last post the phone wasn't as bad as the video. It would still crash and reset but mainly after heavy app usage or when trying to clear app cache using any app like Clean Master.
Once my storage reached about 40% used and I couldn't clear the cache, I began to get constant Play Store error messages. No apps would update. I think it was error 483 or something close to hat number.
Since I couldn't flash back to stock because the drivers wouldn't install, I gave up and tried a factory reset. I nearly sh-t myself bc once I confirmed the restore, the phone didn't want to automatically reset per the instructions. I pressed the button multiple times and nothing. I pulled the battery and when I turned it back on, I got the initial screen with the "powered by android" and then black. It did not wanna do anything. Pulled battery again, same outcome.

Congrats!
My G3 is crashing in the similar manner as the video you uploaded.
Except that it only happens when I'm in office connected to office wifi with almost no cellular reception.
On top of that, as far as I could tell... only two apps are causing the launcher to crash... the game Clash of Clans and LINE.
Very very strange....
