i have a galaxy S3 LTE running this 4.3 slim ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2409049 and the popular yank555 kernel.
everything was going smoothly until i came back from japan a couple of days ago and suddenly started getting sounds every time i unlock the screen. the sound sounds like it could be a message tone or something, but it's not. the sound also sometimes happens at random intervals when i am using the phone, sometimes 5 or 6 times in a row.
i unintsalled the modules i was using in japan (long story) and even flashed the new version of the ROM hoping it would go away, but it hasn't. i have frozen/uninstalled all the apps that i thought it could be to try to isolate the problem, but can't figure it out.
how can i search logs, etc. to isolate and then solve this issue? it's driving me insane!

Out of curiosity, has anyone experienced random hot reboots?
Once in awhile the S3 will stop responding for a few seconds, then effectively hot reboot. All apps close and it reloads the home screens.
Apps no longer appear in recently used. Like I did a full reboot.
T-mobile rooted stock ROM. No other changes or tweaks to the system other than root.
Happened to me twice in the last day. 1st time it happened, I just finished using a flashlight app, 2nd time, it was just sitting there in my pocket.
AT&T Still Unrooted Stock.
This seems to be happening at an alarming rate for me, every other day perhaps. And occasionally during a call (not good)
Find it hard to believe we're the only 2 with this problem.
Maybe no one else stares at it long enough to see it happen. Maybe someone has noticed when they look at their phone their recently used apps have been cleared but don't know why.
Happened to me once during clipboard usage. Tmo here
This has happened to me multiple times within the last couple days on telus i747 rooted and stock rom and kernel.
Happens here also.

The only problems I've ever had were either xda or minimal reader pro locking the phone up, screen goes black, force closes said app and then phone goes back to normal. But it's definitely the app(s) having the issue

happening for me too. rooted AT&T stock. anyone have any ideas?
Hello everyone!
A few weeks ago my phone started freezing randomly when navigating through menus, when turning on the screen or just during stand by. It reboots almost every night and I find it in the morning in the "enter pin" screen. I have been using the Omega Rom series for a long time, and I was using v38 when this began to happen, but by that time I had already been with the same ROM for a long time with absolutely no problem. Yesterday I updated to v39 and the phone is totally unstable, it freezes every 5 minutes and I have to remove the battery.
How can I know if this comes from a hardware or a software problem? Is there any way to log what the phone does so I can check what goes on by the time it freezes?
Thank you very much.

you could try to do a logcat report.
did you try different kernels?
Yes I did, I tried the stock kernel and Siyah too, but I get the same problem. Any other recommendation?
I will get started with the logcat thing, I hope I can find something. Thank you!
My droid4 kep doing the same exact thing when I attempted to listen to my music player, and I ended up finding trojan and I didn't find it with any of the AntiVirus' that you find on Android I ended up finding it with pandas usb vaccine when I plug the phone in to the laptops usb port.. And it doesn't do it at all anymore
I tried 3 AntiVirus ' from Google, AVG + lookout+ .AND avast..!!! Nothing picked it up. :banghead:

if it is not the kernel, I would try to setup the phone from scratch with first, a stock Samsung rom, see how it goes, and if anything is ok, flash a custom rom and test again.
Usually, for me, I do not stop with just a factory reset but use a "mega" wipe to delete (not format) anything related on the phone even if some think this is not necessary.

Hi.
I've been having similar issues for over a week now. And have removed some programs and setting trying to find the cause. Eventually what has prevented freezing is when I turn the screen power saving in power saving settings on. I'm thinking the GPU might be somehow damaged or something.
I have only installed the official updates to the phone. Currently I'm at 4.1.2 NEE.
Ive been using custom roms for ages but got fed up with apps and certain not working so I wiped everything and installed stock ics via odin, I then upgraded all the way up to 4.1.2 via the Samsung upgrade utility but....... now my phone freezes sometimes ive never had this before. ...? Im on ella btu

I have been doing further investigation and I've seen that it is not that the phone freezes, it is just that you cannot have any interaction at all with it. The screen is blocked, the buttons do not respond and the phone does not make any sound, but I know it is alive! I know it because whenever an app is doing something, after restarting the phone by pulling out the battery I see that that process has been completed or if I dial my own number from another phone I get tone, although the phone appears to be completely dead...
Does this situation have a name and a specific solution...?

Hi Everyone,
Recently my phone got crazy!
I used it as stock for a long time, until 3 weeks ago when it started being slow (a few weeks after updating from 4.0.4 to 4.1.2), crashing and getting stuck a lot.
I did a factory reset, not before I rooted it and backed it up with Titanium Backup. That's where things took a turn for the worse.
The factory reset didn't solve anything. Phone kept on crashing.
Next I tried to install a custom ROM (Samsung JB based) and a custom kernel. UI responsiveness got much better, of course, but it didn't prevent the phone from crashing. Tried different kernels and still, nothing.
Yesterday I did a full NAND wipe using ODIN and reinstalled everything using HydRx-D ROM. Things actually got a little better, and the phone UI gets stuck much less frequently.
Still, this is very frustrating, and I can't find a solution anywhere.
I'm attaching a logcat from this morning. The phone worked perfectly for 2 hours straight. Read a few articles, made a few phone call - nothing out of the ordinary. Then it got stuck right after a phone call ended.
Now you probably ask why do I always say that the UI stucks. Well, it always starts with being very laggy for a few seconds and then the foreground app gets stuck, but then I can still swipe down from above to see the notification panel and it always gets stuck on the way down. Also, it mostly gets stuck after a phone call. There was this funny case where I had a phone call using my bluetooth headset, and the phone actually got to BOOT SCREEN while I was still talking. When I finished talking, I had to hard reset the phone to get it work.
I'm really lost about this. If it was my PC I'd definitely know what to do about it, but my experience with Android ends with this phone, my TF101 and a couple of other phones/tablets I got to play with.
Thanks in advance for everyone who's willing to help.
Re: GT-I9300 IU stucks randomly
This unfortunately sounds like the kind of thing that happens before the sds strikes.
Will have a look at the log but I'm no expert in these matters,I suggest you read the sds thread and compare symptoms
I am on jivy's ICScrewed 2.1 ROM running Siyah's last GB kernel. From time to time, my phone will suddenly become unable to receive text messages. I found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=891427. I do believe it's the same issue, but I was wondering if anyone knows the cause. I have been using this ROM for a while now, and this never happened. Only a couple months ago did this start occuring. Then lately, it's been happening more frequently. Instead of having to wipe and recover maybe once every 3 months, it's been turning into every month, then every 2 weeks, and twice within one week this week. It's just a pain in the ass to have to keep doing this. I'm not sure if it's the ROM itself. If it was, then wouldn't I have been experiencing this when I first started using the ROM? If anyone has a (permanent) fix for this, I'd appreciate it. I hate waking up to no texts. Makes me feel lonely.

I've been having the same problem intermittently. I had it today and 2 days ago. The temporary fix is to take the SIM card out of my phone and put it in my old BB Bold 9700 to get the missed texts then put the SIM back into my SGS2. Then the texting works again. But the problem eventually comes back. It's not a ROM problem. I'm rooted and using a Gingerbread ROM. I don't know what causes this. I've tried wiping the Dalvik cache and deleteing old text messages and this didn't seem to work. The SIM switching seems to be the only trick. I haven't called ATT. (They are usually in denial when there is some kind of issue on their end.)
If you find a solution then please post it!!!
I have had the same problem. Running the same ROM for a long problem then recently (~last 2 months) it started happening. I was running Sashir's Aberration ROM but it was the old (pre Dec. 2012) version.
One time I contacted at&t and they said my sim was an old outdated version so they gave me a new one which fixed the problem... for a couple weeks. I may go several days receiving no texts (send works fine) then all the sudden I get them all in one batch. After that it will receive texts fine until it eventually happens again.
I just flashed the new Aberration and hopefully it stops happening.

4.3 update causes strange glitch
Hello,
I'm somewhat new to the rooting world of Android but when I got my Note 2 last year the first thing I did was root it and unlock the bootloader, and kept that through the 4.1.2 (if I recall correctly) update. I knew I wasn't getting 4.2 and jumping straight to 4.3 as was Verizon's plan. I waited patiently and forgot about it entirely, so a couple of days ago I found the stock rooted deodex rom located here. I thought I had made the correct decision, it seemed to be for my phone, it flashed with no issues (both the rom and firmware) and runs fine except for one flaw which has proven to be a pain due to it cancelling my alarm every morning.
Whenever the lock screen comes up, the phone things a touch happens right in the middle of the screen. Nothing's there, but it doesn't matter what happens, I push the power button, plug its charger into it, it will always send out that one little ripple and as a result it cancels my alarm. I looked through the thread, I appear to be the only one with this issue.
Any recommendations?
