[Q] Can't not find stable rom, freezing reboots. - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have flashed over 10 roms each time I do a NUKE and wipe all caches and data. I have installed roms as per instructions. But for the life of me I can not find one that will go an hour without rebooting or freezing. I have tried many different kernels as well.
Does anyone else have this problem?
Do your phones reboot all the time?
Am I doing something wrong?
Is there something wrong with just my phone?
Is this normal?
Someone advise a stable version. I just don't get it......
Maybe a battery issue.
I really don't understand it. It reboots when I'm sending a text or searching internet or swiping screens. It doesn't matter what i am doing at the time.
The most stable one I have found to work the longest without reboot is Omega Milestones with 7.13 dormaix kernel. Thats it. But I still have problem.
Please help

It could be the battery dying on you.
If it's not the battery then we could be talking hardware.

Have you tried going back to an official stock firmware?

[Q] Flashing new roms makes phone not work

I am coming from a Galaxy Nexus. I have flashed many roms in the past, but when I flash roms on the Note the phone portion seems to stop working. Data works fine, its just when I try to make a call it just sits there for a long time and then the call terminates. Happens every time a flash a new rom. With my old Droid 1 on Verizon you could dial up a number to reactivate the phone, on the Nexus this seems to not be an issue at all. Is there some trick to getting AT&T to reinitialize the cell phone after a new rom flash? I tried pulling the battery for like 5 minutes figuring that would force it to resync or something...
Any one else running into this?
Never heard of this problem. Which roms are you loading, I would suggest asking the dev of the ROM, including all of the steps you use to install it.

To fix the market you need to reboot to clockworkmod and clear the cache. The issue with the kernel is normal, it is the HoloKernel, it just has bad information in the about screen, that's normal too.
To fix the phone issue I usually pull the battery for like 5 minutes and then toggle the network from auto to manual a couple of times and then it seems to finally pick it up. Just seems odd...

Did you flash the ATT fix after flashing RC7? If not, download ATT fix, flash Saurom RC7, wipe cache and d cache, flash ATT fix and then reboot system...
Update.....yesterday i opened the cwm and just cleared the wipe cache and then rebooted the phone and everything came back to normal...error code 492 disappeared and i was able to download all my apps.. I hope it will help somebody. Running saurom rc7. Everything looks fine so far....only data speed needs to go up some more but it could be the area....

What is the problem with the kernel that you need to flash the kernel fix? Is that only if you use holo kernel?

Problem with all of Samsung ICS roms

OK there is one problem that persists with all of the versions of the Sammy ICS roms.
Issue:
I boot into recovery wipe data, cache, dalvik cache, format system and then flash the rom, for example "Neatrom lite". Everything goes ok, I boot into the rom itself. Then I'll say, hey what the heck ~I won't install anything just to see whether its a application that is causing it. Then I listen to some music and turn off the music and lock the phone. After like 20 minutes or 20 hours or 2 days it will frequently stay on the 1200MHZ frequency and stay there for about 10 minutes. And as all of you know this will heat the phone up and therefore cause it to lose a decent amount of battery (30% in my case).
I tried to so hard to fix this problem by flashing another kernel or flashing the rom again or flashing a different rom but it still doesn't work...I love Samsung's ICS roms because the TV out works and its ICS. I just hope that the 4.0.4 rom will fix this.
So any idea guys? Any help or any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
Install BetterBatteryStats from a thread here on XDA and fully charge your phone and then let it fully discharge and study the results for kernel wakelocks. Type wakelock into Google and find a solution.

[Q] SGS2 turns itself off

Hi, i've been experimenting this problem for 2 months. I've got CyanogenMod 9, but before I flashed Cyanogen Resurrection 4.0.3 and I formated everything as possible (Wipe Data, Cache, Dalvik and format /system). The battery doesn't lose charge when I restart it.
Thanks!
So, what is your question..?
Sent from the Matrix
If any of you have the same problem and know the solution. I've read other messages like mine, but I'm not in the same circumstances. I haven't got any apps except social (whatsapp, twitter...) none of my apps it's draining the battery I simply don't know why my phone shuts down by itself
You're running stock kernel right? Have you changed anything at the Performance-menu at Settings? And when do this reboots occur?
Have you tried flashing for example CM10.1 to see if the same problems come up? You could make a Nandroid backup to try this.
Sent from the Matrix
Thanks for the answers. I have the stock cm9 kernel. I don't touch anything at the performance settings. Actually, this problem comes from a couple of roms more. AOKP, ParanoidAndroid, and another one 4.2.1 which I don't remember the name. I've tried a stock ROM before but the performance was not good at all, freezes and slow work at general. Thanks.
Make a full wipe (4) and go as stock as you can. Try it for a day or two and then go back to custom.
You wanna see if it keeps going off on its own, don't worry about performance just yet.
If it does it on all roms you've tried its obviously a hardware issue.
Try a different battery, if that doesnt help then send it for repair.
SGS2 power off issue
Hiya,
I have been running and updating Resurrection Remix and Siyah/Dorimanx kernels for awhile now and this worked fine up until last week. After an update to Dorimanx 7.50 my phone started dropping its network connectivity and powering off randomly, i then updated the Kernel to a new verison hoping the issue had been address (8.3 to be specific) after which my phone wouldnt even go through the boot sequence properly.
After a bit of fiddling i have managed to install an Official JB ROM, (details in the image attached) and network connectivity now seems to be ok, but the phone still powers off...ALOT. Anyone else experience similar issues and find a solution?
Note: I have ordered a new battery in case that is the issue as suggested above, but just checking incase theres something im missing while I wait. Also, the phone is about 16 months old.
Sv: [Q] SGS2 turns itself off
Check your fuel gauge chip. Reset it with siyah or dorimanx kernel.

[Q] Phone Constantly Crashing

Hi.
I'm on my 2nd S3 now. First one suffered from the "sudden death syndrome".
My 2nd S3 has been perfectly fine bar the odd lock up. It's rooted and flashed with Supernexus by Faryab on v4.2.2
It has been freezing a lot lately, maybe 3 or 4 times a day but over the past few hours, it's now locked up approximately 20-30 times and I have to keep the power button pressed to reboot it. I've uninstalled any apps I have installed over the past few days. Booted into recovery and cleared cache and davlik cache (it's now saying Android is Upgrading upon every reboot). I can't even get time to backup my apps using Titanium Backup without it crashing.
What is going on anybody? Any help is much appreciated.
Try having a read of the freezing thread over in general.

Thanks. It appears my full microSD card was causing the problem. Cleared a few movies off it last night and it's not crashed since. Fingers crossed!

I guess i spoke too soon. More crashes again today
Did you do a full wipe including system format before installing the ROM? . It may be a data problem. Don't forget that 4.2.2 is also a beta firmware mate and not official like 4.1.2 so these things can happen. Also there are no custom kernels to flash to try and see if it's kernel based either.

Hey, yeah I did a full wipe including system format before I installed the new ROM. I've had this ROM for probably 3 months now and haven't had any problems with it up until the last few weeks. Infact 4.1.2 was killing my battery in a matter of hours. 4.2.2 ROM made me love my phone again as it fixed my battery woes!
This is so frustrating...
4.2.2 being a beta version can do this but re-installing can sometimes cure it though. Changing the kernel in 4.1.2 can give you better battery if you play around with a few and if course is more stable being an official release too. You can also try a different 4.2.2 ROM. They aren't all the same.
Thanks for the reply. Im not too comfortable/confident in changing kernels due to my lack of knowledge on them!
I do however like Faryabs ROMS as I like the original Android flavoured ROMS.
Will try a reinstall!

I have the exact same issue, I was running Faryaabs rom version M1, Android 4.2.2. And a couple of days ago, I noticed it started freezing, and I have to reboot with power button. Now I installed the leaked Touchwiz 4.2.2. but the freezing remains and it has started to be worse. As you mention, 20-30 times a day. I have noticed though, when I shutt of internet, both wifi and 3/4G I get less crashes. Have you noticed the same?
If you find a solution, please inform me to.
Cheers,
Niko

I think you may have found it
Wifi for example is controled by the kernel but there is no source codes released by Samsung so thats why there are no custom 4.2.2 kernels available for the S3 or you could flash one and most likely sort the problem out.
Its a shame cos there are for other phones on this version.
Hi dude
I went to the freezing thread here and found that the DFG method solved it all. So for anyone willing to try this please head over to that thread or just download the dummy file generator apps (2 in app store) although one is only necessary.

Nexus 9 freezing constantly after Nougat update

Hey, guys. Searched around this forum for this topic but didn't see anything, apologize if it's a duplicate.
Basically my tablet has been freezing constantly since the nougat update. It wasn't happening all that often to begin with but over time it turned into something like once a day to a few times a day. It doesn't follow any usage patterns as far as I can tell (i.e. I use chrome mostly but if I'm on something like one of the regular google apps it might still happen). Once it freezes I have to force shutdown via power button. Every now and then it will freeze and restart itself without my having to force shutdown.
It's stock ROM, with virtually stock apps (dropbox is the only downloaded app). I read about some solutions which I've already tried, and so I wiped the cache, did a factory reset, have about 5gb free storage space, and the issues are still the same.
Any suggestions? Thanks

YAY!!! someone else!
Can you try something for me. Flash this kernel FIRE-ICE N K10.5.3 (K10.5.4 seems to be having problems ATM)
i think your problem will be fixed.... please let me know! :highfive:
Hi, thanks for replying. I absolutely can do that but I literally have no experience flashing kernels. I assume it's same as flashing a rom but If you could provide some instructions for me I'd appreciate that. It's been a long time since I've even done that and I'd want to make sure I don't screw anything up.

Yes TWRP
Question did you unlock your bootloader?
honestly i don't remember. some time ago my n9 got stuck in some weird bootloop. i had to run the RUU (i think that's what it was) to restore everything back to completely normal. so if me having to do that meant i unlocked the bootloader then yes i did. if not, then i wouldn't have done it.
