ive had my s3 for 3 weeks now, its been rooted but still running stock rom. today i experienced a reboot when i received a text message and this is the third time, each time prior to the device rebooting it vibrates for a long time i.e maybe 5 seconds instead of 2 secs, has anyone had anything similar happen to them? or is my device faulty?
Never rebooted .
I would return to stock see what happens .

Nope. Nothing like that has ever happened to mine.
Never rebooted using system Apps but plenty times with others, and that's the developer's fault not Samsung's.
I wonder if a third party app may be causing it? It only reboots randomly on a incoming message. I usually know it's going to reboot due to the long vibration.

Yeah have you installed any other Apps that can send or monitor received SMS?
Mine rebooted a couple of times in the first few days of use. (unrooted stock ROM)
Never had any since though.
My friend got an S3 2 days ago and he told me he's been experiencing random reboots !!! His phone is on stock rom and ain't rooted yet !!!

Only whatsapp, but I doubt that is causing it. I've cleared data in applications for the messaging app, so going to see if that helps, thanks for the replies, at least IM not the only one having issues, I read on another thread someone having similar issues when using the phone and a SMS arrived, his phone would freeze.
People that are not experience reboots are you using custom roms, and if so which do you recommend? If I have to send it back to Samsung, will flashing stock ROM and using triangle away prior to flashing ROM be enough to get warranty back again?

That means there's an App flashing something to Root and rebooting your phone, it happened to me with a cracked version of Rom toolbox pro so I uninstalled, and I'm not sure but that might add to your flash counter every time so you want to find out what's causing it.
Nope, mines been fine, even undervolted.
Ok I finally figured it out, it was nova launcher causing the freezes, using touchwiz no freezes when sms arrive.

Really? Nova is all I use on mine. Have never had a problem.

I have had the long vibration then a reboot a few times, had my phone a few weeks too, rooted and running different roms, only been happening the last few days.
I have a flash count of 9, so nothing too heavy.
Unrooted and went back to stock and then rerooted and installed villainrom.
Just had my first reboot about 5 mins in.
I flashed a new rom on 21-Jul-2012, no mods or apps or anything since then and all of sudden last night 23-Jul-2012 i started getting the screen lag (vid attached below)
I have tried four different roms today with full factory/data reset and still have this issue. In the vid im only clicking the section once and quickly, as you will see the blue highlght stays for 1-2 secs before going into the section.
Has anyone had this issue before?
I don't see any issues
Infact your device seems a lot faster than mine.
Fix is in Jelly Bean update .

I am having this problem.

I wouldve thought that it wasnt an issue as well fenjen, but it only started happening on 23-Jul-2012, not that the date matters, but I have accessed the settings area a fair bit in the past and this time it was def more laggy.
hi
was wandering if anyone was having this issue,
for some reason now and again the touch screen stops responding no message shows on screen but to resolve i have to turn screen off n on and it works again, was hapoening on ee rom and custom rom
just wandering if its just me or a common issue

Have you had this issue from day 1?
My lock screen sometimes doesn't recognize my touch when I try to enter my unlock pattern.
I have to release and try again, I was thinking it was just me but could be an issue?
Aside from the lock screen everything else works ok.
Is it only certain parts of the screen or the whole thing? maybe take the phone back to the shop where you got it and get an exchange?
hmm yh the whole screen doesnt respond although it hasnt happened today tho but its wierd seems like a softwaee issue might try and flash a different rom and see how it is
Sent from my GT-I9305 using Tapatalk 2
From my experience, it's not the touchscreen but something hogs your phone CPU cycles for a brief moment. Have you tried going to stock and not installing any apps?
I similar issue on GS2 where whole phone freezes (although plays music in the background) and I thought it was touch for a very long time until I realized it was some ****ty app I installed (some tamagochi app I think)
I had this aswell found out it was when I loggers back onto my phone and it checked what as I had running .
I'm a big multi tasKer
try holding your center key and close any UN used apps
yh i agree, will try that next time plus monitoring apps in better battery stats

Hmmm i havent noticed anything like that... are you on stock? I was thinking it may b a software setup issue, As there are many things that can happen when you start modding your phone. But I have quite a few mods and I have not had this issue, I have Skype always on Tango, Viber, Whats App,Facebook, Ms Exchange Services, I have 6 Widgets in total spread out in 4 homescreen. 4 of those widgets Auto update. So I have quite abit going on in this little thing
does seem like a software issue happened again but 5 mins later was showing touches on screen wierd

im using ripper rom but was happenin with stock ee rom i think lol wil flash stock n test again

Not had any issue with my screen and I am running quite a lot on my phone so if it happens with stock I would start to remove apps one by one or do a wipe and add them back one by one. Could be a hardware issue though.

What is it with you guys posting non dev stuff in the dev forum? thread moved to general
I have been getting allot of random reboots, not while actually using the device but when it is just sitting there, on charger and off anyone have any experience with this?
Are these full reboots, with the LG and AT&T boot animations, or is it just the UI reloading? I havent ran into this at all on this phone. However, i have had an issue with the UI reloading with every Samsung device Ive ever had. Not sure what causes it or if your experiencing the same thing.
They are full reboots I normally catch it on the LG logo,I guess if no one else has come across it I'll go swap the phone out for another. Though my LG g2x had reboots till we had custom roms....

I went and exchanged my phone today for another, so we will see if that helps it. I am not sure though because I had a LG G2X and it had random reboots as well, it was only fixed with custom roms and kernels later so assuming we get unlocked bootloaders I am sure that will be fixed but till then I am not sure if I am going to keep this phone or not....

Your talking about "redraws" it has to do with the launcher (TouchWiz) or in some cases, RAM.

Where as I do not use the stock launcher, I use NOVA and well we have 2 gigs of ram... Plus mine have certainly been full reboots and the G2x did this same thing... we need to just hope for am unlockedbootloader.
I have had 1 random reboot so far. Hope it doesn't happen again.

I haven't seen any on my device. 11 days. Stock launcher.
All stock since Nov. 2nd. Zero reboots.
I returned my device for another, haven't seen a reboot so far.
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
I've had reboots as well. Around 4 times now and purchased the phone nov. 3. a couple times it was when the phone is just sitting there on stand by. one time it was while posting a picture on instagram. Another was taking a picture and looking at the photos... and when it does re start, it will restart 2 or 3 times at a time, like i see the lg logo 3 times, then finally the "rethink possible" logo, then the phone boots up and while or just after my media scanning of my sdcard finishes, it will automatically restart again... and this happens 2 or 3 times. for some reason I feel like it has something to do with me 64gb sd card but am not sure, i used to think it had something to do with eco mode but phone has restarted while it wasnt activated too... dunno how to fix, hopefully an update will come for a fix :/

Same here. Must have been a hardware thing.
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda premium
I'm going to have to send mine in for warranty too, put a reboot logger on it and it's around 4-5 times per day. I should probably unroot it before I send it in I guess.
I think my evo ltes camera might be broken. Does anybody else have trouble getting pics to come out clear. Mine seems out of focus. Im waiting to replace it due to my otterbox screen protector. I dont want to dail in settings everytime i take a picture either. Ive read hundreds of reviews and its suppose to be a very good camera.

Yes and no. I have taken hundreds of pics. Sometimes i hold the button down and take 20 bad pics in a row. Im leaning towards a hardware problem.

I've got this too, after flashing a jelly bean ROM. I'm going to try flashing a different jb ROM and see if the camera improves. And probably go back to ics if it doesn't.

Are you running stock Rom or a port?
Ports such as cm10, miui, skip, etc do not take good pictures due to pack of proper drivers

I you power off your phone then remove the plastic back cover and clean the camera glass lense. It might have dirt, finger prints/ smudge on to it which causes your phone not to auto-focus when taking pictures.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
I took it to sprint and they cleaned it. I also hard reset it 2x. I think it might be back to normal now.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
I seem to only have an issue if I zoom in on something. If I don't zoom, they look fine.
Thats because zooming a digital camera does nothing, you're better off just taking a full picture.

If I have just regular stock, I've only had it a week, and I don't know how to root or flash a rom or any of that stuff to a phone. So am I just out of luck, or Is there any way to fix these issues? I see that one person said they did a hardreset x2, but if I haven't done anything to the phone I'm guessing a reset wouldn't help me either?
I'm soooo disappointed, the camera is about 80% of the reason I upgraded to this pone. But my regular evo took better pictures very easily. I really wish I knew how to do all the stuff people talk about on these sites, but I'm just clueless when it comes to that.
If anyone has a suggestions I would be really grateful.

I can tell you guys that, unfortunately, I am 99% sure its a hardware issue...I've researched this relentlessly after I purchased my basically brand spanking new EvoLTE (less than 20 calls on it, but it already had a bad esn, relationship gone bad lol I guess)..I got it off craigslist..guy had the receipt..box, everything and when I ##786#'d it I confirmed everything he was telling me. I checked everything, one by one..speaker, mic, outside speaker, ports, bootloader, powered on off, finally the camera..pics and vids...everything worked perfectly.....I thought, I never thought to check the auto focus. Once I got home with it(I often take pics of text on the computer screen while working) I went to do this and to my shock the camera wouldn't focus in on text..Or anything that was within 4inches of the camera..I did four or five hard resets, searched endlessly for a reason or fix..tried every non stock app camera in the market..Nothing fixed it, and It still does it to this day.
I worked with at least ten EvoLTE's since then, I always check the auto focus on them (lol glutton for punishment I guess) because every one of them works perfectly. Yet you can find lots of people with auto focus issues on the web. I also have updated Roms, on mine (I'm currently back on ICS) nothing effected it, and the ones Ive seen that have worked perfectly were on ICS, JB, custom roms..no rhyme or reason, which is why I have to believe it's some kind of hardware issue with the auto focus on these cameras. Luckily, for me it only effects super up close photos(completely blurred), while any other photo comes out perfectly. I would of all ready replaced it otherwise.
