Just wondering if anybody has experienced this yet and has had to exchange their phone? If so, was it painless to replace? My wife just got the message on hers and we will have to exchange it. Also, mine has not had the issue yet and was wondering if anyone knows how to tell if the phone is one of the ill-fated, that way both of our phones could be exchanged at once if it is? Supposedly, people will just randomly get the message after a few days of use, so I don't know if there is any way to really tell.

The only time I got that message was on my Galaxy S4, which I was running my own kernel and some hybrid between MDL and MF3 firmware. It really jacked things up when I went to use the slow-motion feature on the camera, including usually just giving me that error message.
From the sounds of it, something is borked badly. If you haven't rooted (sounds like you haven't), I would recommend replacing hers under warranty just to be safe. If you have already rooted, might as well a return-to-stock Odin flash.
If still questioning whether anyone else has had the same issues with their Galaxy S5's .... I haven't seen any other reports of this, but I haven't been searching for it either. I would keep close eyes on the other variants' forums.

Samsung has come out and said its a known issue. They said replacing it should be streamlined, just wondering if it really is.
I got it on my stock unrooted s5.. I had it happen to me several times w the s4 but I would clear data and cache on camera app and it would work. When it happened on my s5 it wouldmt work camera still failed.. I rebooted and it works ever since....I don't know what it means but my phone is running pretty darn good

That's cool that a reboot fixed yours. From everything I read, they said that there is nothing you can do to fix it, and that it is a hardware issue with corrupted memory.
I had a similar issue it said warning camera failed but after I rebooted worked fine ever since. Dont know if I should replace it or keep it

Get this on my Edge 7 which is using an SD card to store photos. It seems to kick when the phone is restarted for any reason. The fix is to force stop the camera app, clear data and cache, and then restart in a special mode which enables you to wipe the data cache. Samsung give instructions for this: "Power off the smartphone, then hold and press the Power, Home and Volume Up buttons at the same time. Let go of all the buttons and wait for the Android system recovery screen to show up. Highlight Wipe Cache partition using Volume down key and press the Power key to select the option." Hopefully, as it's obviously a software bug, Samsung will issue a fix.

It's a known hardware issue that Verizon is well aware of. It's happened to me twice (on my 3rd Bolt) and they will replace it for free. All you have to do is call 611 and get a rep on the phone. Sucks...I know!

I'm 100% sure. I tried everything (Reflashed Roms, Tried various Keyboards, Unrooted, and still nothing...) the first time it happened to me. You'll notice if you go into landscape mode in the messaging app it'll work fine. The screen has deadspots on it. You have to call them and they will send you another one "next day" air and within that package, besides the "new" phone, they'll be return labels. Just unroot your device factory reset everything and ship it back.
I will call. use my phone for work everyday though and have to have it for work... Can I go to a store instead and get one you think?
Sent from my HTC ThunderBolt using XDA
You can try, but not sure that they'll come thru for ya. Best bet would be to hang in there until you have a day or two off then call so it doesn't impact your employment. And in the meantime use the phone in landscape mode for what you need it for.
Called customer service and this issue was not in there database. landscape mode isn't much better at all. If I go to store I have to unroot

Svoice is terrible nonetheless, It delays the home button (disable svoice and see the difference) it laggs way behind siri and has very limited capabilities. It would be adequate if you can use it when the phone is locked and can be used via headset. The major delay on the home button is a deal breaker itself to me

By resetting it, do you mean you went back to unrooted? Or just a stock rom?
By the way I'm running Bean's Custom Stock Rom on VZW and it's not working. I'm guessing it's just a server issue with the activation of so many new GS3's
In advance of the Olympics, Sammy has been doing all sorts of network maintance.
Yesterday all the TV services were down.
Is this only affecting Verizon devices?
Could it be related to the updates surrounding the Siri debacle?
I highly doubt it's from the number of activations.

In my opinion, S Voice isn't terrible but it is behind Siri.
To have the home button respond faster just uncheck the 'launch S Voice by double clicking the home key' in the settings. You can also use S Voice when the phone is locked. Setup Wake up commands and you're set.

Will take a while to hunt down the app but anybody else have 'LinkedIn' app installed? It just hot rebooted while launching that app from a fresh restart - quickest hot reboot I've ever seen.
It might not be that app but then I went to the Play Store page and there are tons of 1 star reviews because the last update failed on people's phones - more interestingly the most recent comment is from a GS2 user who says latest update reboots his phone.
I've uninstalled it and I doubt I can be that lucky that it's that app and I find it so quickly but crossing my fingers.
Mine rebooted after I opened the Navigation app.

I had the same problem on my previous Captivate and am having it now on the GS III; no rhyme or reason to the reboots that I can see.
I still have heat problem but I played w/ different settings to see what it is.... I had att s3 which got really really hot... So returned it for Verizon s3. Verizon is better but learned that the data (lte/s3) makes it really hot and battery drain. Also the screen, of course.
If you're rooted then go get Phone info and disable lte. I tried CDMA auto for Verizon and it got much better... But at lowered download speed. I change it when I speed the speed... Doesn't require reboot so it's easy to change.
U can also under clock using setCPU.
I don't need it to be fast normally except when playing games... So just have it at 384min and 1024max... I find this helps allot w/ heat as well... U can try and find your setting that's acceptable speed and heat.
Just sharing my experience here.... So good luck.

Happens here too with the T-Mobile GS3. I think they rushed their fabrication process to deliver a high volume and fubared a few hardwarewise. I've even had it lockup/freeze once when not even in the OS but just in the recovery menu's. But yeah, the usual is a totally random unpredictable hot reboot throwing out my resident programs, homescreen, ect. Starts with the screen being frozen and not accepting input, then a short vibration, then back to homescreen reloading and all regular apps and widges that are supposed to run at boot load again. It's as if there's a micro static short or something. Anyway, I'm sick of problem solving and looking through logcats. Going back in for warranty. This is a dream phone except for this ultra annoying bug that it seems not many people have.

Happened to me once or twice (that I noticed) in the two weeks before I rooted (stock UCALEM), and a few more times after. It's just TouchPiz being pizzy. Maybe someone can catch the logcat, but there's nothing we can do about it (except install a better ROM )
How would anyone be able to diagnose this BS
"OK. My phone is hot. And it randomly reboots".
"Crap - u r out of luck buddy. Go change ur damn phone".
Provide ur phone model, ROM version, apps installed. Check ur battery stats.
As a solution - flash any custom ROM which removes bloatware.

Happened to me when the phone was new all the time, including before I'd rooted it. Gradually happened less and less. Now I can't remember the last time it happened. A few weeks? Over a month? In any case, don't worry about it too much. Mine was the black kernel crash screen though. I think I've only had the yellow screen once.

I'm pretty sure it happens on that rom because of a glitch in the WiFi part of the kernel. When I was running it I just set the WiFi band to 2.4 only (instead of 5) which fixed it for me.

That happens because we are using the n4 aboot. Our hardware differs from the n4 where our up is the opposite key of their up, so it gives that bug.

The demi-god yellow screen? I've gotten that months before using a JB rom.
I've seen it twice, and they happened when I was playing Ingress on my phone while either using WiFi or GPS. I was either rooted+stock or running The Base.
I can honestly say I've never seen this. I got a black screen kernel panic from UVing too far on The Base but that's about it.

Hello all, this is my first technical question at xda. I usually don't have problems as i never dirty flash and generally use caution when doing things.
My i605 randomly shut off today and was unresponsive. After a few battery pulls i was able to boot it back up. The phone would not call or text, even though the signal bars showed normal. Right away i flashed a new ROM after 3 full wipes and the dalvik cache wiped. The phone activated on my number right away and showed normal signal, but won't call or text. I updated the modem to the latest 5/3, still no luck. Suspecting it was my SIM card, i tried it in another device and the SIM works fine. Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing this or anything i should try before reverting to completely stock?
Thanks everyone!

Did that help any at all or are you still in the same situation?

Keep us updated, this is something I haven't heard of that wasn't easily fixed by going back to your previous stock nandroid or by reflashing the ROM....

Well I went back to stock with no success. I have sent off for a replacement. I suppose the hardware was simply defective. It was just strange, as occasionally i could receive SMS and 3/4G but nothing else. Thanks everyone for your advice!

What were you doing when the phone locked up on you?
Did you notice any over heating, screen problems, lag. ETC.
What kind of case if any do you have on your NOTE 2.
What were atmospheric conditions (as this may have trapped moisture inside affecting the antenna)

I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary really. No case, and i never keep my phone with me if moisture is around. (rain, sweat, etc.) My phone was on when i was driving to work, when i arrived it was off and unresponsive for a few minutes. I've only experienced maybe 2 or 3 reboots since I've had the phone, pretty much since launch.
I hadn't updated the radio/modem ever though. I don't know if this had anything to do with it.

You should have still been able to get service, this is really really odd......

Thanks everyone for the tips. Several things that i wouldn't have thought of myself. I received my replacement and all is well at this time. I suppose i'll go at least a few months before unlocking again :/ Not that i think that had anything to do with the problem. oh well. Thanks again everyone!

I'm glad that everything is working for you on the replacement. If I were you I wouldn't wait to unlock though. Sammy is pushing an update, at least thru the VZW computer app, that may block our current boot loader exploit and may make it un-unlockable.
