As you can see, I'm new to this forum. I apologize if I have posted in the wrong forum. Please do move it to the correct one kindly.
I've bought a Karbonn Smart A2+, and I've run into some issues. The middle physical button of the three on the bottom of the phone seems to be malfunctioning. It sends me back to the homescreen every few seconds, like it's been repeatedly spammed down even if I'm not holding it down. I'd like to inquire if there's any way I can turn this button off? Or even better, is there any fix for this?
The phone arrived and when I unboxed it, it did this. I went out to a local phone salesman who also undertakes repair, but the phone worked perfect en route when I reached there too (I looked like an idiot trying to explain whats wrong with my phone).
I thought it had fixed itself, so I went back home and it started malfunctioning again. I tried everything: removing and replacing sim and sd card, wiping the battery and the phone, giving it a nice hot oil massage. Nothing seems to help.
I'd also like to inquire about the process to root this device, if possible. I'd also like to know the benefits of a rooted Android as opposed to a non-rooted one.
Thanks in advance!
No, it doesn't. Also, it seems to happen randomly, sometimes working perfect and most of the time its a pain in my ass.
No, its not overcharged nor is it plugged into my pc.
Oh that's terrible... My phone fixed itself, now it only does this when I try to play a game like subway surfers. Is there any way I can disable the button for some apps?
Try Uninstalling apps
Due to Low Memory, maybe its a Pain to use dis device... try uninstalling some useless apps, ... try rooting it with FRAMAROOT v1.6.1... maybe it'll work, if doesn't,,, try flashing stock ... search for link.. guess its on gsmforum....:good::good::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

System ui sounds not working.
I was trying to replace my system sounds with
that of KitKat sounds.
I did everything as said in many guides.
With same name as of my stock .ogg files I
replaced my system sounds and changed
permissions by root explorer and rebooted.
Now I'm able to see my ringtones only and the ui
sounds are not working ( the lock, unlock and low
battery and charging sound ) and whenever my
battery goes below 15℅ message appears that
system ui has stopped working and the phone
hangs and I have to remove the battery to restart
it.
It annoys very much. Please help
Thanks in advance.

Hey,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S II with stock rom.
I saw someone else had almost the same problem on another phone and posted it there in that phone's section but didn't get much help.
The device acts as if it has been paused every minute or so.
That means that whatever application I have open does whatever it would do if I would push the "sleep" (is it called that?) button and then opened it again.
For example, while writing a text message the keyboard would hide.
while running a game, the loading screen would come back on and then resume right where I was.
Thanks in advance.

Sounds like your running out of ram due to something starting up or running in the background
Download Advanced Task Killer and look there for ram or other problems and applications that my cause them.
Hi Guys, I have the same problem. I'm rooted. My phone is Cherry Mobile Flare 3.
I don't know exactly what is the cause of this problem and still unsolved. This happened when I tried to install modded play store but I think I don't like it cause I need Visa card. Then I want to bring back the original playstore with lucky patcher but it doesn't work. First I tried to back up all my apps and games with titanium back free version. And did a Factory data reset. After that I restore all my apps but whenever i tried to play games, music, videos. It always randomly pausing. F*** @-%[email protected]# I'm so tired of finding solutions. Please help me
Same problem after hard reset htc desire 310.... i think i will reset it again, and if problem persist, i Will flash the stock rom ... help, me if i have other solutions

I got my Samsung Galasy S II GT-I900G about a month ago, I've been turning it off every night so that It can charge. Like a week ago for some reason I didnt and in the middle of the next day the RAM got to about 560MB/0.91GB and then after a while it got stuck while i was sending an SMS. I had to take the battery out and and turn it on for it to start working again. I'm not that much of a hardcore gamer or phone user. I dont know why my phone would do this. I have deleted all my apps and still the same problem so its definetly not a leaky app. It gets stuck and then i have to take the battery out !
My phone has 2.3.4 android version

I just have the i9100 not the g. So i dont know whats the difference in phones. Is your phone rooted? Are u using a 3rd party sms app?
looks like an iphone but powered by android baby!!!!
Try to figure out wich apps are actually using all this Ram with some tools found on the market.
After that you could delete those apps, or freeze it (with anttek for example)
If this doesn't work, perhaps flash another Kernel :/
Different processor

Try Androis Assistant from market
i use the stock active applications widget. You can check ram and 'clear memory' to remove cached processes. or reach it buy holding down the menu button and selecting task manager
From what i figured out i think this is not only active running ram, but includes applications you have used since your phone was turned on...not drawing any power,,,just in limbo (cached) until you need them again. Thus they start up faster and don;t consume extra power when starting up again.
settings- applications- running-- shows active background apps and you can see how much ram they need. hit the menu button again you can selected 'cached'. This will show cached apps.
Your phone should not slow down with 500-600 ram useage considering most of it is cached ram. Ram not being used is wasted ram on an android device
My s2 fluctuates between 280 and 570 ram used and is still equally zippy
If it happens again you might want to flash a different kernal or you have a dodgy app i suspect
If i am mistaken please correct me
@androidkid311: Thanks for your reply .. and No my phone isn't rooted, and I have yet to update it... and Right now my phone is free of any apps except for the system ones...
@staik: Thank you for replying... Could you please tell me about an app that will help me monitor my ram usage?? and all my apps are already deleted...other then system apps.. I cant use anttek cause my phone isnt rooted :/
@MistahBungle: haha Thanks
@umarian: Thanks for your response , i'll try it and get right back to you...
@IronMit: Thank you for such an explanatory response . I use task manager to close active apps and clear memory about 20-30 times a day... and when i turn my phone on i go into the running applications and stop all the useless apps like google maps and social hub and stuff... does nothing to help.
Right now there are no apps on my phone except for the system apps ! and i know i think the same unused ram is wasted ram but it freezes my phone so :/
How do you flash a kernel anyways?? Sorry if i'm being unbearably stupid but....gotta learn right??
Thank you everyone for your response....though my problem is yet to be solved
How do you flash a kernel anyways?? Sorry if i'm being unbearably stupid but....gotta learn right??
Same as firmware flash kernel in ODIN via PDA instructions with kernels .
or if you have CWM and root some are CWM flashable
like
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1357020
jje
You have to root to flash another kernel...I dont want to root my phone just yet...In case nothing works and I have to take the phone back... Rooting it would void my warranty :/
You can always flash a stock Samsung firmware with a different kernel or even flash a stock kernel .
Neither of which require root .
Kernel does not require CWM or Root to flash via ODIN .

Hey guys, I've been searching the forum for a solution to this ploblem but came back empty handed. I rooted my sgIII i9300 last night and since then the screen keeps turning on randomly. Sometimes I even have to turn it off manually. I've uninstalled all recent installed apps. Killed all apps running in background. Toyed with the screen timeout, brightness and other screen features related but nothing does it.
Baseband version
I9300XXLEF
Kernel Version
3.0.15-57065
Rooted with CWM Manager v3.6
I'm thinking about rooting again but is it wise?
Try reinstalling the stock firmware or try unrooting
IF YOU LIKE MY WORK, THANK ME BY THE BUTTON BELOW
Yeah I thought about that, but I don't feel like going through the hassle of a full fledged flashing process. I guess I'm gonna unroot and root again. If anyone has this issue, ... .
Uniinstall all of your apps.

that's rather pointless in my mind... just perform a factory reset...

Problem solved. It was an app messing with the hardware. A cheap torch app.
you mean "0 money" or "few money"? ;-)
got same problem on my tab10.1/overcome231. i guess whether "high intensity flashlight" is guilty.
however, i hoped to know out whether there are some log application that records actions such as "which app sounded" or "which application turned the screen on".
any ideas?
suddenly my samsung galaxy s3 keeps freezing and I have to make a hard reset every time. I tried to make factory reset, or wipe factory reset, but the same problem.
what should I do?
are you on SDS-safe firmware?
Dude, instead of creating yet another post with this, you could have searched to quite easily find out your phone is halfway dead and should be sent back to samsung for repair as soon as possible. Make it safe to return if you messed with it (flash original stuff, reset counter, etc, read a bit if you don't know what to do, it's all over these forums) and just take it in.
Don't take this the wrong way but you'd think it's common sense to just return any product (not even phone related) that it's malfunctioning instead of asking what to do to random people in a third party forum

use the sds safe précautions to prevent freezing
Envoyé depuis mon GT-I9300 avec Tapatalk
And what are the sds safe precautions or where can I find it?
just search in the general section
Device:GT-I9300 32gb
I have the same problem, this seems to be firmware related to me, the phone works in safe mode but this is really crappy now. I don't think there should be a return unless it's the only fix.Will try and flash JB and update the post.
Edit: Is that sds the Sudden death thing. I tried searching but no results come up. I am a new comer to Samsung as their devices sucked for ages and they still seem to do. Please can some one advise us(the op and myself and future people with this problem) on what is the main cause of this issue that a hard reset fixes it. But for my device,it doesn't die it stops functioning.
This is how I get this problem, my phone is rooted, but it runs fine only when there is a app crash the phone locks up and thats it.
what i tried: I tried to back up my data so i could save myself from reinstalling all my app. I hard reseted the phone and the phone functioned again
but after restoring my data the phone locks up again. Now my phone works about 5sec from normal boot but then locks up. It works fine in safe mode. So really where is issue? Is an app is making the whole OS to jam there has to be a simple fix for this.
Please don't say return the device, thats the dumbest thing to ever say. We want to over come the problem not ignore it/get rid of it.
Thanks for your time guys
Try this.

My S3 started well and then "SUDDEN DEAD" :crying:
Well. I reverted back to 4.1.1 and no more random reboots or freezes. It was definitely ROM issue.
Any one tried new EMA2 rom? If yes, still freezing?

Mine was freezing constantly with MA1 and MA2 until I did what I posted above.
Now already 2 days without freezes.

Same problems here. Not sure about rooting. If I change the csc code and download the latest, say German update. would that change the rom and fix it ?

Probably not. Depends on what causes your problem.

I was getting similar behaviour too. Phone would freeze after making calls, sending msgs, using facebook, searching on google, basically random points anywhere. Went through uninstalling apps, did a factory reset, and through some trial and error finally pinned down where my problem was at least. It was caused by the latest version of MixZing. Was crashing before frequently, and after uninstalling it I've been using my phone fine all day with no crashes at all. Still potentially early days, but if I don't report back then that solved it for me.
A simple solution
ok guys.. this is something i tried and has been working for me for more than two days now:
the problem seems to be in the download manager included in the new android software so what you simply have to do is to disable this application whenever you're not using it.. you can do so in the settings>> applications manager>> view ALL>> select DOWNLOAD MANAGER and DISABLE..
of course this will stop the play store from functionning and will stop any automatic updates but will prevent the phone sudden death...
All you have to do when you want to download any new apps or update existing ones is to enable the download manager and i suggest before doing that to clear the RAM memory and try to be gentle and patient with the phone...
Just keep working like that till ANDROID finds a solution in the next update and your phone will be fine.. in the end its better than killing the machine with every freeze.
Remember to be patient and work slowly when the download manager is enabled
Reply if it worked for you

My first post here. Thanks for this tip. My phone was freezing every 3 minutes and so I did what you suggested after all other suggestions (except rooting - as I was worried I might brick the phone if it froze while rooting) didn't work. Anyway, just a few seconds after I hit "DISABLE", my phone froze! So I thought it's probably not working, but since the reboot, it hasn't crashed. Thanks!:good:

the same thing is happening to me and i have no clue why its happening it just like 3-4days ago but i have installed only clash of clans and clash royale in my phone. he most interesting thing is that all your phone feature will work but the screen will not for almost 20-30mins then it will recover on its own. all the call features are working well but no response from phone. my conclusion is this phone is totally a mess and i dont even know how i managed t use this device for 4years! it got super laggy after 6-7 months of use. Whatever i went to the service centre and they told that i need to change the motherboard of my s3 costing 130$.
i have tried just about everything for this and still no luck i can't get google play or anything really.

Question regarding my mid am-789 tablet
Hello XDA developers,
I really hope somebody can help me PLEASE with my issue with this tablet.
I had it rooted, installed all the apps i wanted on it and it really worked great. i also had a 32GB micro sd card installed in it.
For an unknown reason it bricked today. I managed to get it to work again after a hard reset (pressed the pin in the whole in the back and held it for a few seconds until the display came back. All my installed apps and the apps I moved to the SD card disappeared. I restored the wi-fi and my email information. Then i tried to download some apps from Google Play to restore some of the lost apps. It shows that it is downloading, the bar is moving but no apps are actually downloading... i tries several and the all show the same. In setting there are NO downloaded apps to display.
Can some one please help???

Question regarding my mid am-789 tablet
Hello again guys...
Besides the download issues mentioned in my previous posting, I noticed one more thing as well, after turning the unit off, when I turn it back on again, nothing of what I did before is saved, all the changes i made, and the clock settings and wallpaper I changed, are all gone..
As mentioned before, my tablet was bricked and i managed to get it to work again after a hard reset.. all apps and other stuff I uploaded was wiped out..
Can anyone please help. Any helpful suggestions would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks
