S III heats up!! :( - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello xda
I'm getting a problem..
Sometimes my phone heats up while charging that it starts bootlooping!
But today battery was about 15% and I didn't put it on charge.. then also it started bootloop. My dad put it on charging and it keeps on rebooting and it was so hot when I came back!!
Actually, why is it rebooting again n again? It was working so fine from 2-3 days n I did nothing!
I'm using foxhound 2.4 on stock kernel.
I just wanna know that is it a hardware issue?? or what?
as it's a new phone so it tenses me.. and I didn't started development on it yet
bought around 2 weeks ago

Try re-flashing the rom but with Siyah kernel. This is what i run and it's perfect. I run overclock @ 1.7ghz and get no excess heat. Also 20 hour batrery life under standard use.

So u mean it's not an hardware issue?
And its just a kernel or rom issue?? Right?

I can't see it being a hardware issue, no. Especially if all was fine before flashing the ROM. It May be issues with the rom and stock kernel.

After flashing rom also.. its working fine..

I can't get! Why does it bootloop without any reason?

Did you take a back up before flashing? Hopefully you did.....?
If so, then flash your stock back up and leave for a few days. If problem persists then you have an hardware issue. If problem is fixed then it was the rom and kernel issue.
As i said i akso use Fox hound 2.4 but with Siyah kernel and my handset faultless.

Lets see what happens!

Just run stock for a few charges. You have to find the fault. If no fault running stock thdn go back to Foxhound but try a different kernel. Goodluck!
If it works please press thanks

Last ditch effort...

So I managed to get my phone back up and running... to a degree... but it is randomly locking up and rebooting when being used randomly. It seems like its an overclock problem where if your trying to push it too hard it locks and reboots but I'm having this problem on complete stock with no oc or uv. Any suggestions?
What happened to your phone? What rom and kernel are you running?
It just randomly started doing what I described in my prior post. Its doing it on every Ron and kernel combo I use, including stock...

Well...it sounds like you might have to odin back to stock and see about getting a replacement from your carrier.
That's no issue I've ever heard of :/

Frequent SOD's on different roms!

I cant pinpoint at all whats going on. I get at least 5 screens of death each day. I full wipe and everything before I flash a rom on my phone. I'm currently on Turkbey v7. Someone please help me out
Return to stock, if it happens still probably best to return it if you can.

oh no... i just got a replacement a few weeks ago..
Did you mess with clocks/voltage at one point? There may be an init.d script or some other kernel settings leftover from those that you gotta get rid of. Flashing back to stock should fix that if I'm not mistaken.
Can you still return your replacement?

Did you clean out the kernal settings between ROMs/Kernals?
No I didn't mess with any overclock or voltage settings.
I can still get another replacement phone until a year has passed since this phone has been released since thats when I got the first phone.
And tomorrow I'll try flashing back to stock and then flashing a rom afterwards. I have to study for my summer class tonight.
Thanks alot everybody!

well replacements are usually refurbished, if im not mistaken. Theres probably a higher chance that something is wrong with a refurbished phone over a brand new phone. So maybe not that unexpected that something will go wrong, especially with custom software
I would try running the kernel cleaning script and flashing a new kernel. I known NEAK didn't like me and locked up several times a day. But its so darn fast....just giving an example. What kernel r u running now?

NEAK...
NEAK is working great here with UCLD4. I used to have tons of SoDs with LD3 on the stock kernel, just about every time I turned the phone off it would SoD within a couple minutes.
So because I felt too lazy to go to stock, I found the kernel cleaning script and wiped everything off my phone and flashed the script. Then I reflashed the Turkbey rom since I just like it and so far I haven't gotten any SODs as of yet.

HELP! S3 touchscreen not responding.

Since yesterday I am facing this problem.
Last evening the touchscreen of my phone just stopped responding. It happened so: all of the sudden the touch wouldn't respond. Pressing the power button to switch of the screen for sleep mode was not happening. The last thing I had done was pull down the notification bar so that so it was stuck there. I pressed and held the power button to restart and it worked fine. After a few hours again it happened. Restarted again. Worked. But now everytime its happening. It stops responding. I restart then it works for 2-3 minutes and stops responding and again Ihave to restart and again it stops after a couple of minutes.
I tried going into recovery mode and download mode and it enter and it charges properly also.
Also, last night I switched the phone off and I left it on charge annotd today morning when I switched it on the problem is still there.
please help me out
My galaxy s3 is rooted and its running on stock rom 4.1.2 and siryah kernel.
Is it a hardware problem or software? What can be done?
Another thing just happened now. It stopped responding while I was watching a video on youtube. The screen didnt respond but the video was working and after a while the video stopped but the audio was still playing!
R: HELP! S3 touchscreen not responding.
I heard somewhere syiah doesnt support 4.2 try another kernel. Did u update kernel/rom recently?
Have you tried removing the phone's battery and waiting for a half hour or so?

Its not 4.2 It's 4.1.2 Using the official one. And I have been using the siyah kernel for over a month now. Never seemed to cause a problem and never updated anything.
And no I didnt take out the battery. I just kept it switched off. Anyway I will do that too now.
R: HELP! S3 touchscreen not responding.
Okay....so you did nothing? Perhaps you're stressing the cpu/gpu too much and kernel does not totally support 4.2.x yet....try flashing perseus kernel also, it cant hurt...

Should I flash stock firmwire then try rooting it again and then flash the kernel?
The thing is I used to use my phone while on charge. A friend says the circuits must have gone haywire but this doesn't seems like a hardware problem.

If u use your phone while on charge that only harms the battery (it will make it last less...but it is inevitable anyways who dooesnt use phone whike on charge)...
What would be the very best option would be to factory reset through recovery (u have clockworkmod right?) (U can save apps with titanium backup) and flash a new rom and THEN a new kernel.
If you flash foxhound it comes with kernel already backed.
BUT before doing this (nobody likes to start off fresh) just try flashing another kernel first(or try and get an updated version of siyah kernel, maybe you got the s2 variant, which has a higher build version than the s3, making it look obsolete).

[Q]S2 Heating Problem?

Hey guys!So let me be short and precise:When I am on wifi/3g my phone heats up and gets to 41º C, but when I play something like Nova 3 or MC4 it gets around 50 ºC.These temperatures are shown in CPU-Z.Once I "managed" to get 56ºC while playing and while it was charging.
The question is, how can I fix this problem?I heard that the modem incompatibility may be the problem,but I am thinking that anything else can cause this heating problem.Oh, and I forgot to say, the battery is getting empty pretty fast.I am on custom rom with the last version of siyah kernel.

I don't want to unroot yet and neither to change the rom.

[Q] Does your epinter cm10.1 gets stuck?

I installed the epinter cm10.1, and it is awesome!
But the phone randomly reboots frequently.
So I installed the latest kernel of Olympus Kernel Project. By latest, I mean the latest one from the dropbox link.
Then the randomly reboot is almost gone, if not completely!
However, the problem I have now is that the phone gets stuck a lot, either while I am using it or sleep, and when it freezes, it heats up a lot.
So my question is: is it only I have this problem, or you are also experiencing similar problems?
---------------
About the kernel, I've tried the 0217, 0222, 0319 and the 0327 ones. They all have problems of either randomly reboot or freezing on my device.
Common problem with 4.0+ ROMs. Would have known that if you did some reading....

Really? So I should go back to 2.3 if I need it stable?
BTW, I did quite some reading, but maybe I just didn't read the right one.

Fully stable, yes, go back to 2.3.6. All 4.0+ ROMs have the 3.1.10 kernel and thats still in development. Its almost at the point we need it to be at.

Guys, that "deep sleep" is a feature of motorola's ics, it's the equivalent to suspend on a pc. It has nothing to do with android's deep sleep while idle.
Here is a screenshot of that deep seep mode option activated on my atrics, it reads Reposo.

hello
i was a long time fan of xda for my atrix 4g mb860
i try a lot of roms to use ICS or JB
but until now not luck
but the lats week i try the last stable roms for epinter and use the lastest kernel (3.1.10....27)
the atrix work great
no deep sleep death
no data lost signal
every is ok
just the tango video call is up side (al reves)
thats the only thing that is a bug
i will try to upload the log but don't know how to get it
No prob, the devs aren't got there yet. Just a minor correction, any rom beyond gingerbread is alpha, or beta at the best. But far from stable. Things will go bad with these roms, and no one is responsible for what might happen to your phone (or cat)

Really? I have sleep death all the time and random reboot now and then... WHY:crying::crying:
I tried to increase the minimum CPU frequency, and the stuck problem seemed to happen less often. However, the reboot problem became more often.
I also tried to change wifi during sleeping setting.
Let's see how it works...
Iv'e been using CM 10.1 for about six months and i rarely got my device stuck and heated up. I did get my phone stuck every time a tried to play Leauge of Shadow game.
Try to see what apps are using causing your device to freeze and stop using them (if there is, shouldnt be too many of them).
About phone getting heated up, try to remove FastDormancy.apk from /system/app/FastDormancy.apk. Epinter himself posted a warning about phone heated issue this might help.
Good luck.
