ICS (4.0.3) oficial ROM shutdown issue

Hi guys.
Im posting here because, after updating through Kies on a mac, other than sometimes slowish ui/loadings, i'm experiencing a shutdown whenever my phone goes to lock mode. Its not frequent. Sometimes i lock it, and after some minutes when i click pwer to bring up the lockscreen, nothing happens, and i have to hold the power (for a long time) to turn it back on.
Some info:
Previous version: gb 2.3.6 rooted
Baseband: XXLPS
first update was throuh wifi. Failed. Sencond by mac. Success.
If you guys could help me find a fix, or need more info, ill be very gratefull/happy to provide.
Thanks in advance

You could do a factory reset, that helps many times. Type *2767*3855# in the dial pad. Backup important files first.
Thanks. Will try that.

After updating my GT-I9100 from Gingerbread to the official ICS 4.0.3 ROM I experienced random shutdowns as aforementioned. I also had the screen freeze and become unresponsive. Screen unresponsiveness only occurred the first two days, random shutdowns occurred for about a week. After a slew of additional app update notifications and subsequent updating, I no longer have the shutdown problem either. I originally upgraded through Kies on 4/20/2012 and by around 4/27/2012 I no longer have any issues. Btw, I'm on ATT in the U.S. and my phone is not rooted.
I did a factory reset and i noticed some things:
Self shutdown occurred only once.
The phone touch is considerably faster than gb.
The screen visuals are more vivid (i think thats because of my current wallpapers)
The apps load times are also faster, but the camera takes some time to load.
Tl;dr
I dont regret the hard reset but the shutdown happened once only after that.

Bad news... Shutdown twice this morning, after going into lock mode(click power button)
One thing i noticed is that he takes toooo muuucchhhh to boot when holding the power button when this hapens, so i have a theory that he actually doesnt shuts down, rather it jus wont turn on the screen. Im going to try to replicate it and send some kind of warning to one of my apps, or mail myself.

Indeed, it is not shutting down, but not waking the screen. This is known as the "sleep of death" (SoD) and has been discussed in dozens of threads already.
Usually caused by undervolting with values that are too low, but also occurs on some peoples phones when they are completely stock.
Changing kernel can sometimes help, or if you already have a custom kernel loaded, changing your voltage settings to be a bit higher on the 800mhz step.

i9300 random freeze won't wake (Shouldn't Be Sudden Death)

Hey all fellow enthusiasts,
I'm having a real issue and I can't seem to get to the bottom of it.
Almost every time my phone sleeps it won't wake properly, I press the power button, the LED hardware keys light up but no screen power on. It also doesn't display incoming calls or well anything but I tested calling it. Only way to wake it is by waiting about 7 minutes or restarting it.
I've done some research and suggestions of possible hardware issues seem unlikely as I have no other issues or crashes or anything. Phone works well unless I put it to sleep.
I found some strange activities in my log cat (attached) and found this:
07-16 21:14:31.070 D/Surface (2274): Excessive delay in unblankDisplay() while turning screen on: 419214ms
But I'm no expert so can't work out why, ive wiped stuff reset stuff uninstalled stuff.
Any help would be so greatly appreciated!
Thanks for any tips in advance.
P.S if you search for the above in the log that's the easiest way to skip all the non related log items.

check the freezing thread in General
Not sure if it's related but tell me you've noticed the 11 minutes of this repeated error:
Code:
07-16 21:03:21.145 W/SQLiteConnectionPool(3628): The connection pool for database '/data/user/0/com.outlook.Z7/databases/email.db' has been unable to grant a connection to thread 146 (Z7DBSharedPreferenceCache) with flags 0x1 for 30.000002 seconds.
Hello All,
Thanks for the pointers. I've tried all resolutions in all freezing threads I could find before posting except two, 1 is this file creation thing to write 60gb of data (I'll try this next) the other is to go back to stock which according to posts has a better SD fix than CM. Does anyone know if that's true?
Any other specific links to articles would really help so I can check I've tried them.
Thanks Again.

Sounds like a hardware problem if flashing stock and factory resetting doesn't solve it.
My power button had a problem that causes the phone to reboot infinitelly sometimes, it gets stuck inside even if I can still press it.
Well, pressing it a couple times normally works for me. But to be sure I stopped using it, double tap status bar to screen off and home button to screen on.
It's really bad when it stucks...
No its not a sort of that problem coz I already checked that, but now I think I am able to get this problem solved but now no sim card is working its keeps displaying Emergency calls only..

Have you checked if your IMEI and serial number are intact?

Go to about phone, status and check they match what is on the box or under the battery on the sticker.
Yes just checked its same. Now the set is again restarting but the time increased even if I switched off the phone it will turned on itself, is it like a hardware problem? I tried different versions of firmwares. Also few days back mother boards EMMC chip get repaired , is this belongs to that issue?
It can be a hardware problem
One more thing I noticed. I switched off the phone after few time it automatically switched on
Your power button is faulty.
hi, i have the same pb? i checked the power button is ok, i try a lot of rom (official & custom) no solution?
Nand memory is damaged, go read the the emmc freezing thread.
Is this hardware issue?
