A few weeks from now my phone just randomly froze and the only thing worked was to restart the device by holding the powerbutton for a long time. I thought that it was just some random freeze but the freezes have been getting worse and worse. Now it freezes almost twice a day for no apparent reason (like in the lockscreen, on the web, in the sms app, in the settings etc etc). Yesterday when I woke up the phone was showing the "Samsung SIII" logo, I guess it had crashed in the night and tried to reboot (?) but got stuck on the logo at the start. My rom would not even start. Took out the battery etc etc but it did not start. Reflashed another rom and the same thing happened today too. Have tried to wipe all data etc and tried 3 different roms and kernels, including the stock kerner but still random freezes. What could be the problem, how should I troubleshoot it? Really annoying as it have been working fine forever until it started to act crazy. Also tried without any playstore apps but still random freezes sometime.

Thanks! :laugh: Yeah it the insane chip. Is there any fix beside sending it in and repairing it? Did not samsung release a software fix? What does that fix address? Is it just a preventive measure or does it actually fix anything? I am also rooted and on a custom rom, do I have to reset everything before handing it in? And if yes how do I factory reset it and reset the flash counter?

1. If you'd follow a kind advice from Glebun, making your homework properly, you'd never asked basic question related with it.
2. Education, profession, or anything else is related with the FACT that you're a lazy noob unable to search given link and to find answers by yourself.
Oh, sorry: your profession, based on your behavior here, straightly cannot be related with anything requiring self direction, initiative and motivation.
Finally, your stupid request to copy and paste for your use the clues of the very long thread is a pure example of absolute selfish, demanding and ignorant kiddo, who can face serious problems with that position as soon as he will leave nursery.
Seems that there may be some confusion over who is and who are NOT the Mods here. I suggest that everyone in this thread throttle it back a bit and try to help out instead of a snarky response.
Yes Rule #1 is to Search, but Rule #2.5 is to be courteous to your fellow members.
I'll post it here just in case you missed it.
2.5 Courtesy towards other Members: Treat new members the way you would like to have been treated when you were a new member. When dealing with any member, provide them with guidance, advice and instruction when you can and always with respect and courtesy. Never post in a demanding, argumentative, disrespectful or self-righteous manner.

Wrong forum, post this in general as this has nothing to do w/ Android development. You will also need to DETAIL exactly what you did to get to this point, or no one can help you (your above explanation is very vague). See ya in the other forum

As everyone has said before me, you will need to provide a bit more info.
However, my best guess is that you transfered over files from another phone to try and get rid of the current ROM that is on the phone. You not knowing how these things function, you assumed that swapping files would work just fine. As you found out, it doesn't work like that.
You will need to put your phone into "download mode" but holding vol up + vol down and then press the power button. You will do this while the phone is off.
Using the Odin software on your Windows PC you will need to follow this post.

You have however been rude to community members. Don't think the community is all developers. Its not. Not everyone starts reading rules and manuals and shunning someone who might be helpful or at least better informed later is not what any community stands for.

You just got Pwned!
On my original Droid...when on a call using bluetooth, I could still play games on my phone (wifi or normal) and do text messages. On this phone, it will turn the screen off after a few seconds. Adryn has said it's the proximity sensor...yet I'm no where near it. The screen is set to timeout at 2 minutes, yet it barely makes it 20 seconds before shutting off, even if I'm actively using the screen. Has anyone else come across this? Anyone know of a fix?
Ouch. 98 views...and no one has the same issue? You can work on your phone while being on a call?
Is my phone the speshul one that just won't keep the screen on when I'm actually doing something on the screen?
Are you running stock or what? I've no issues
I've also got my screen timeout set for 2 minutes, yet intermittently, it will shut down the screen in the middle of texting, browsing, etc. I have to wake it and unlock it to continue with what I'm doing. Seems to happen more frequently since the Froyo OTA.
Again, posting you have an issue without giving specs on what you're running is pointless and a waste of forum space.
ugh...I had edited the message with my specs, but somehow forgot to save, I guess.
I'm running stock VZW Fascinate. OTA Froyo.

No I don't agree, because next time you will be much more clear. I don't know any psychics that frequent the forum. So if you want information on a situation that isn't already a thread...be clear. Why do you think none of the other senior members posted? They don't want to have to keep coming back to a thread for an issue that isn't really specified.
In any case, since you've not tampered with the kernel I would suggest you wipe and reflash. I was running the same setup but with 1.2
Because they had more class than you. You should seek help for your LDS...seriously.
The forums are here to help. Since not all of us are "experts" as you would probably claim...a simple courteous question would be great. You don't have to remove all doubt that you're an ass by criticizing others. It's easier to keep your mouth shut instead of proving you're a ****.

God I wish rom manager was hidden in the market for our phones
No CWM right? Hmm, cant you just ODIN a different kernel and then have CWM? Are you rooted? Try the Mobile Odin app, put a differnt kernel on the root of your SD card and try flashing that way.
Or perhaps the worst case scenario is you have to ODIN back to stock to wipe the damages that Rom Manager did.
I hate Rom Manager so much...

You were pointed in the right direction. You were told to read the stickies, which you SHOULD have done before posting in the first place.
You clearly did NOT do this, because, without you even stating what you did, it was obvious to at least three people who read your post what you did wrong, despite the stickies having instructions to NOT DO WHAT YOU DID in the DAMNED THREAD TITLE.
Edit: Oh yeah, and one of the posts here gives you a damn good hint too...

Seriously - there's a total of only 13 stickies over 3 I777 subforums.
One of them is marked as a FAQ. You should always read FAQs.
One of them says in the thread title, in capital letters, NOT TO DO SOMETHING. Based on your description of the issue, it is clear to all of us THAT YOU DID IT ANYWAY.
And despite blatant multiple hints (no we're not going to hold your hand and spoonfeed you when you are going to be this lazy or dense), you still haven't figured it out.
Yes, Red, thanks for occasionally leaving a thread open so we can vent.
Actually... wait... I looked more closely at your picture... You didn't use ROM Manager (which often causes the problems you've described) - you're still on stock recovery!
The concept that someone could still be using stock recovery and not understand that stock recovery won't work for anything but wiping... well, seriously, that's so incomprehensible that we'd assumed that at the very least, you'd ****ed up by using ROM Manager to get to CWM recovery.
Edit: That said, the answer to your question IS in the FAQ. Of the only 13 stickies here, at the VERY LEAST you should have read the FAQ. Seriously, FAQ posts are there for a damn good reason.
My phone has been acting up today. It has been very laggy/slow and it's as if my touch isn't being recorded well. Also, it froze for a while, and at one point, it got stuck and kept moving an app icon back and forth (shaking) repeatedly.
I haven't done a clean wipe yet, but it's sounding like a hardware issue.
Can anyone confirm? (Don't want to bother wiping and doing all my settings again if it is a hardware issue).

1) you've given absolutely no information to be able to help you.
2) if you're too lazy to fully wipe you're phone to see if that fixes the issue, why would you post a thread about it. Doesn't really sound like you want this issue resolved.
3) prior to posting this thread you should have: A. Fully wiped your device to see if that was the cause. B. Gave enough info for someone to be able to help you. Like what rom are you running. What kernel. Have you flashed any boot loaders. What have you tried yourself already in an attempt to fix the issues?
So basically it sounds as though you want others to do the foot work for you. That's not really cool dude.

No, I was just looking for information. You don't have to talk to me like that. It's a hassle to set up everything the way I had it, so if it is a hardware issue, I see no point in bothering with it. All I was asking if anyone knew if these were hardware failure symptoms or whatever.
Anyway... I'm on ICScrewed 2.1 with Entropy's latest GB kernel. No bootloaders or anything. Haven't really messed with my phone. And I don't know what to try to fix it. That is why I posted this. To see if any of these symptoms are familiar to anyone else who can give feedback instead of bashing me.
He's correct but it definitely could've been articulated a little more hospitable. This is supposed to be a helpful forum. One way you can be sure its not hardware is to go into the developer options and check the pointer location setting. That will tell you how android is reading your touch screen. But its more then likely the from try wiping cache/dalvik if not then you may have to do a full wipe. Sorry dude.

This isn't JUST for developers. And I like how you talk about learning and growing, yet you just bash people who are starters. How do you expect anyone to learn like that? Grow up.
Har har.
Again, har har.
So much hostility in this place. It's sad how you guys forget about a very important rule, which is respecting everyone on here.

How is it annoying? The underlying question of my post was pretty much asking if anyone has experienced these symptoms, and with feedback (not trolling bs), I can then act accordingly.

I think. I re-flashed, still happened. Then I returned to complete stock and unrooted, re-rooted and flashed again. SEEMS okay. Hopefully it stays like that.

USUALLY you can do a full wipe and fix the problems. But I prefer to return to stock. ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS do a fresh flash like this before making a pointless thread. Save yourself some hassle and flaming

Save myself some hassle? That's actually what the point of this thread was. To save me the hassle of having to return to stock and what not and reapplying all my settings, tweaks, alarms, etc. But people had to be dicks and troll essentially instead of offering useful feedback, leading me to go through it all anyway. And I don't even know if this is going to fix it permanently. Furthermore, I like to gain information and know my options before I start doing stuff here and there.

1) you've given absolutely no information to be able to help you.
2) if you're too lazy to fully wipe you're phone to see if that fixes the issue, why would you post a thread about it. Doesn't really sound like you want this issue resolved.
3) prior to posting this thread you should have: A. Fully wiped your device to see if that was the cause. B. Gave enough info for someone to be able to help you. Like what rom are you running. What kernel. Have you flashed any boot loaders. What have you tried yourself already in an attempt to fix the issues?
So basically it sounds as though you want others to do the foot work for you. That's not really cool dude.

This is the reason i posted what i did . You got your answer very early on, from a recognized developer noless. And my posts don't flame people or laugh at their mistakes or anything like that. Most of them tell people to search and read before flashing again, and if i remember where something is ill even point them in a general direction that will result in them learning . Im pretty straight and to the point. Nothing i do is personal on here. Good luck, hope your problem is resolved.

Update: The problem persists, even after going back to stock, re-rooting, reflashing, etc.
You should now determine if the behavior persists after returning to stock. I had issues on icscrewed as well, not the same, but issues. Also, why would you want to run a rom that mimics real ics roms when you have a ton of real ics roms that work great?

You have a lot of class to humble yourself and apologize.
It never hurts to have some tact. If you are truly annoyed enough to be rude to someone, don't bother replying.

I would have suggested you try that, and it didn't work. I'm not going to be overly help, it seems. :C
Hello there. Basically, I was on the newest (I think) Alliance Rom with Dorimanx kernel for s2. however, it began to get quite buggy, and I tried to flash a new kernel onto it. Siyah. then I tried to flash Cyanogenmod onto it. Restarted, phone won't load past the siyah logo. But I get the siyah recovery menu thing still. But when I try to install the cyanogenmod zip, it fails. I have no other roms on my sd card, or kernels, for that matter.
Please can somebody advise me what to do. I need my phone for work in 5 hours! I was thinking a fix possibly with Odin? Although, I'm guessing if I wiped the phone, kies will no longer be on there. Not sure what it means for it.
thanks.
It's Jellybean by the way
1) Use a more descriptive title than 'HELP !'. Many people will ignore your thread/not read it for that alone (which means you might miss out on help).
2) If you've still got CWRecovery, you still should be able to flash something without resorting to Odin. I would suggest perhaps you're not following the instructions on the first page of the CM thread to the letter. Try it again.
If you really can't flash anything in recovery & still have bootloop (I.E recovery seems broken), get a stock rom from Samfirmware, flash it with Odin = clean slate & you can then re-root your phone & have another go at flashing whatever rom/kernel you want to use.
Thanks, and thanks for telling me about the title, I guess, my apologies, but urgency is urgency.
I can't get any zip files onto my phone or the SD card. so flashing from the phone is pretty much a no.
I can try Odin, however, I barely know what it is. Is anybody willing to just tell me what to click?
No spoon feeding allowed mate. No one will hold your hand and tell you what button to click. I may as well fly over there and do it myself.
If you want to know about Odin flashing click the link in my signature and look at the section on how to flash.
But, I still don't think you need to use Odin. In CWM recovery, Mount usb storage, connect to pc, transfer rom.zip onto phone sd from pc, unmount usb & then flash rom. Done.

Okay.. Seems a bit odd, being a help section, in a forum. I just figured since I'm dealing with something that could potentially break/brick my phone, I would rather do it right as opposed to wrong, considering I have never done it myself before.
Thanks though, I didn't actually know I could mount it without actually booting the phone. I'll try that.

Yet you still haven't changed it. Urgency may well be urgency, but you either want to make that small change & potentially get the help you need if you get stuck further, or you don't. No skin off any of our noses either way *shrugs*.
P.S - Forum rules are forum rules.
Edit - And the reason Hopper said what he said - this may well be a Q&A forum, but that doesn't mean we regurgitate stuff that's been asked/answered thousands of times over the past two years for any n00b who thinks they deserve same.
I'm not even being harsh with what I say. I didn't write out the steps, but I did give you a direct link to a place which lists the steps. That's a legitimate A to your Q.

Just a few more that just say "help". I can see that it is not posing a ****ing problem. Not to mention (may be my fault) but I don't see any way to change the title.
As far as I'm concerned mate, I wanted help with something, went to the HELP section of a FORUM, and got help, so you can go **** yourself if you have a problem with that. I don't go to forums to just chat about my day. If what I did ask was too much for you, then just let someone help who is more helpful than you. I didn't ask anybody to troll the net for files, or anything of the sort, I asked for legitimate help with something I didn't know how to do.
Either way, I've managed to fix the problem, so no more needs to be done.
Thank you to those who gave me advice.

Please show respect to senior members. They have been here longer than you, obviously dealt with problems much similar to your and want you to search for yourself, that is why the search buttons are there. Did you watch 'I am a noob in XDA Developers' video?
And you obviosuly have no idea why they say this, but it's because you will learn for yourself. In near future you will search and find answers yourself if you start now (which they are trying to make you do) other than just relying on other people to do your work for you. That's not the way XDA developers work.
So rather then being disrespectful and throwing insults at them, you should thank them

Yes - I appreciate the fact that I was helped the amount I was, but I could say the same. Is that the best way to treat new members? I have already apologized twice for my mistakes, at least, and I STILL have people telling me I'm doing things wrong. Also, it's not like I haven't thanked them. I think I thanked them at the end of nearly every post. Anything else to pick at?
I'm not trying to disrespect - just trying to prove my point. If you didn't want to help me, don't, just don't ***** about the fact that I wanted help. :/
My problem is fixed, that's all that matters.
thanks again.

Yes it's the right way to treat new members.
You are doing things wrong, respecting other members is a rule of XDA and you're not doing it - so you're doing it wrong.
Good you thanked. But was i necessary to disrespect. Yes you were disrespecting.
Prove your point? That it's okay to spoonfeed newbies and making them think that they wont have to do anything, just ask and wait?! No that's not right, as already stated.
You wanted to help how exactly? To tell us that we should do it 'the way you like it'? No that's wrong, accept it!
Dont come here and try to flame, there's a rule against that. Take you crap elsewhere, cause with that attitude you probably wont get much help around here or anywhere else for that matter.
This is my last post and visit here, so dont even bother commenting if there anything about me.
