Is anyone else's totally sucking?? It always says either H, or 3G, but no data goes through. The "upload" arrow will light up, but not the "download" one... I also think it's killing my battery since it's constantly searching for a signal for checking e-mail and stuff? Just wondering if anyone else is having this problem or it's my phone? I'm outside of Chicago....
Same here. Someone I work with has the sgs4g and suffers the same problem.

Same problem down here in dallas tx i only really started noticing this with kb5 modem, i recently switched back to the KA6 modem. The problem is persistent but no where near as bad as it was on KB5
Having same issue here... went to Tmobile and they told me this is not a common problem. But the forums are littered with people having the same problem... found 1 rom that kinda manages it well. Axora

hmmm weird. I didn't really have a problem until a few days ago, but I'm glad to know it's not just me
I think I figured out when the data drops. The phone will lag to the point of inoperability, then the phone for some reason has trouble reconnecting to the tower. the only thing I have found to fix this is a factory data reset. I have been lucky enough to reboot in airplane mode sometimes which helped once or twice. Or to reload a rom. I just dont know how to fix it? I had my phone warranty replaced due to this issue and it still remains on new phone. I am somwhat pissed myself

Happens to me randomly specially when searching in Map app. Phone starts lagging and I have to reboot. After reboot it shows No entry like sign in status bar. Nothing works, I tried rebooting, reinstalling same rom, new rom, new modem. What works is take out battery and reinsert it. Thought I got a bad phone, but now it seems others have this issue too?
Im just south of chicago and I usually have to download my apps 2 or 3 times to actually get them installed. I noticed that after you choose to download and it spits you back out in to the menu. Reclick the app you just installed if there isno statusbar you are not trully downloading it.

I've been having problems with keeping gchat logged in. Constantly drops out and says either I'm not online or the other person is not online. My wife has the same problem with her vibrant.
In addition my GPS has been extra sucky lately, went from being able to lock 8 inside to usually not locking at all. Nothing I've tried has fixed it, but then randomly it'll work just fine. I can't reliably reproduce the problem.

This is the second vibrant that I have had this problem on, So I want to say software, unless I got 2 phones with the same problem. The EDT gps fix makes my gps lovely when I have a data connection. I know that heathen has also made a flashable data fix which would at least stop from having to do a data reset, and reinstalling all apps. Unfortunately the data fix is rom specific and not a universal deal. Anybody with more experience know why many vibrants have this intermittent problem???
Since I unrooted I have had no data drops, but cannot fully unlock the potential of the device, has anyone heard if a way to maintain stable data thru root?
Thanks

I kinda think I got the same thing goin on here. The only time I really notice it is in the market and usually only when doing updates to apps. Can't really say that DLing new apps has an issue tho.
I highly recommend CM7 .....I try every new rom and always come back to it. Just a thought haha

Just tried it (cm7) and data dropped in 24 hrs. I give up, I'm going to switch to a verizon based phone. Ive never had a problem rooting my g1 or mytouch with data. If anyone knows a fix I would be very interested in understanding the problem.
Data worked for a month straight un-rooted !!!!
Thanks
Did you try out different modems at all?
I'm hoping you guys can help. Been a long time lurker here and am going to be buying my Note 2 at the end of the month. But my wife purchased one the day after Christmas, and since the new ota update in January, her N2 has been freezing a lot. Sometimes you can get it to turn back on, but than it freezes and reboots on its own. Most of the time she has to do a battery pull to get it to come back on. It happens about 5 times a day.
Verizon had her factory reset it, but it still has the persistent problem. Best Buy took a look at it and they couldn't figure it out. She is hoping we can figure it out before we have to send it back in, which would suck because she would be without a phone that she needs for work for a week. Not to mention Best Buy and Verizon stated that if it does need to be replaced, that it would be with a refurbished one. Which I am not at all too happy about that. Hoping you guys can help me out.

I tried to get her to root, but this is her first android device, she's had nothing but the Iphones prior and is nervous about doing stuff like that. It started after the last ota update, and the only recent app she downloaded was Unblock Me. Since then all this has been happening, and we already uninstalled Unblock Me suspecting that was the culprit. I have it on my phone with no problems.
yes, she does have power saving mode on

turn it off and see if it helps. that strange behavior is most likely caused by an app. Can you screen shot or list what apps she has on her phone?
Yeah I'm thinking it's power saving mode turn it off see if she can make it through a day without it freezing. You don't need power saving on a note 2 battery life is great without it unless your wife is like most females and always forgets to charge her phones

Here's the list of apps she has downloaded. She hasn't downloaded anything recently except for that Unblock Me and the ota update. She said since yesterday Verizon had her factory reset the phone. She reinstalled all her apps, and it still kept freezing. When in froze this afternoon and it shut down(didn't reboot), she took it strait to Best Buy to have them look at it.
The guy fiddled with it, and it was freezing and rebooting on him as he was messing with settings. He told her it probably needed to be sent in. She doesn't want a refurbished phone if they replace this one, so we are trying to figure it out. But since that visit, the phone has not froze on her. Weird.
Should we uninstall all the apps and install one by one each day to see which may be causing it?
Did you turn power saving off and it still freezing?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
when I checked it, it was already off. I know she had it on, but don't know if the BB guy turned it off or if it was turned off by the factory reset.
If it's still freezing with power save off then I would factory reset it then install the apps that she must have for day to day use. Then give it a day and install the other apps she wants.

This. Factory reset is your last option other than rooting (and flashing a custom OS) or sending it in.

I totally agree. :good:
Phones normally only freeze when the ram runs out. Is there any app misbehaving and sucking up all the ram?
I had some what i thought were random reboots the first few months with my N2. These I discovered were caused by carry the N2 in my back pocket of my jeans! Every time I bent down to pick something up or to tie my laces it would reboot!! I would just hear the start up noise comming from my pocket. Make sure she doesn't put it in her skinny-jeans back pocket.
Thanks for the suggestions guys! It froze again this morning, so we are going to factory reset and install apps one by one each day to see who the culprit is. Hopefully its an app doing this.
I have been experiencing EXACTLY that and hqve tried most of the remedies. However this only seems to happen at work which makes it somewhat difficult to actuwlly sot down and diagnose the problem.

I have been reading about this issue from a lot of people with the s3 & note 2 on forums. I honestly think Samsung/Verizon sent out a bad OTA due to rushing to close the security loopholes. I refused the ota and found a way to permanently defer the update and have not experienced any reboots or freezing.
From my previous/recent experience Verizon will absolutely not help you at all, they are worthless 99% of the time. All they are able to do is tell you to factory reset it(if they know how) and have no actual clue how to fix the devices. They will even 'call' the software support for you but will still tell you to either factory reset or do a return. I am disgruntled after they destroyed 3 phones (Droid Incredible) in my family after pushing out horribly bugged OTAs that left the devices useless. I confronted them and they flat out refused to take ownership of their own software that they pushed out. I still feel like they should be sued over what happened.
Good Luck!

Yeah leave it to VZW to fix one thing and introduce a worst bug. I had a Motorola bionic that kept losing signal every 20 minutes or so then version sent out an update damn phone would drop signal every 30 seconds or not even connect to data. Basically rendering the phone useless. Worst part was Motorola had the bootloader locked down so tight there was no good development. At least we have good development for our note 2

Users should legitimately have a lawsuit case against Verizon. They are essentially forcing you to purchase a new device because of something they did. When I confronted them they straight up told me to buy a new device. Devices should work indefinitely theoretically and they are causing irreparable damage.
My note 2 was having major battery drain issues so I got my self back to pure stock like day 1 and I went ahead and updated with the ota so I will see if the random freezing / reboots pick up or not. I already noticed a keyboard bug where it pulls up a numerical only keyboard and wont allow me to type letters unless I reboot.
Did anyone solve this? I'm in the UK and very recently got my ota update. Since then I've been getting multiple daily resets and freezes. Can't say whether it's due to the ota update or some software I've been using, but the crashes are certainly pretty new and very annoying.

Hi all, i want to know methods how different people saved this issue on amaze, i have but i cant fix it i tried different methods, but all that help only for some time. I opened this thread for other people(i think many people experience this problem) for finding the fix.Thanks for reading and answering.
There is no way to answer such a general question like this with such limited detail. There are so many things that can cause random reboots: bad battery, problem with an app, rom, kernel, etc. How r we suppose to be able to know what is causing your reboots, you didn't even say what your phone's current setup is: unlocked/locked, custom rom/stock, cust kernel/stock, etc.
A lot of amaze owners have had problems with battery going bad and random reboots being one of the issues. So that may be one thing to try. Good luck

Go back to stock.
Learn/read more about what you're doing when modding your device.
Maybe try again
Problem solved
Nobody with any knowledge is having random reboots. Its usually the people who flashed a ROM incorrectly, is using an unstable ROM build, over/under clocked their CPU too much or under volted their CPU too much. I never once had a random reboot that i didnt provoke (which means it wasn't random) unless I was using an unstable ROM.

OK, I THINK I MIGHT HAVE FOUND A SOLUTION!!!!!!!
I bought an Anker battery. After a while, it will start doing the random reboot things. The cool thing is, the Anker batteries come with an external charger. If I take the battery out of the phone and use the charger, it seems to "reset" the battery so it works fine for a while.
I'm startting to think there is an issue with the charging system on the phone - who knows.
thank!!!

One Quick Solution
Okay so this is just one quick solution for those specific people out there that have had random reboots on EVERY ROM they try. A good friend of mine had constant reboots even on modified stock ROMs like Revolution HD which I have never had rebooting issues. We noticed the battery was easily removed when taking off the backing so we inserted a paper index card on the bottom to decrease the gap and make the fit slightly tighter. We just cut an index card to about the size of an inch in length and the same width as the battery compartment and then folded it in an L shape inserted it in the bottom of the battery slot and his phone has seen nearly 0 reboots since doing this. Seems like a dumb issue but it is worth a try especially if your Amaze has taken some physical abuse.
Still having problems. No idea what to try anymore. Might have to bite the bullet and get another phone. Never again HTC.
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda app-developers app
Wife had the same problems...
a little background of her Amaze issues:
- tmobile stock ICS ROM, not rooted, about 16 months old.
- after about a year random reboots begin and get more frequent, sometimes 6-7 times daily
- replaced with new Anker battery. problems go away for about 2 weeks
- after about a month, phone no longer charges (no orange light) using the original ac adapter and usb cable
- gave in and called HTC (from htc.com:United States/English/+1-866-449-8358/08:00 - 01:00 ET (7 days a week))
- got a RMA number and paid for shipping (~ $6 with Insurance at USPS) to Texas
- HTC returned her Amaze (same IMEI number), fixed under warranty. Not exactly sure what they replaced/fixed as they did not provide details.
If you're in a last resort type of situation, give them a call...you never know! Since being fixed, it's been rooted and NRG ICS Blue ROM and 4EXT recovery flashed, just like mine. All is great...for now... If Amaze dies again, not sure what phone to get next.
Hey guys, my i777 has been random rebooting for 3 months now. I've tried everything in the realms of wiping, foctory reseting, ROM flashing etc. When I flash a new ROM (I like SuperNexus and CM9/10) the random reboots are happenning once a day. As time goes by, the number of random reboots reaches a number like 10, 15 per day, which makes the phone basically a black brick. I've tried identifying usage patterns that could lead me to a system fail (maybe some app could be causing it?) but it didn't make either.
It's a hard reset (it takes me back to Samsung screen) and I've tried everything, in every way, in every forum you can imagine, I've also tried looking in the last_kmsg log file, but it never gives me material to work with.
My last attempt to make this work is right below, I've recorded the logcat (it's really big!). I'd be very pleased if anyone with more knowledge in Android system than me could try to identify what's causing this. Thank you so much! The logcat is attached in this thread.
So you've tried going back to stock ginger bread, not installing any apps, and seeing if the problem persists?

I had a similar issue, mine would reboot sometimes once a week, sometimes 5-10 times a day. Random sleep of death, freeze and complete battery drain etc. I finally sent it in on my square trade warranty and they replaced the main board - some sort of short in there that was causing it i guess. I suppose it would be possible to swap out the main board, or buy a used phone with a broken screen or something to strip for parts.
There is a great video by "le55ons" on youtube tearing down a I9100 that could help you get an idea of what's involved.

Couple of things.
One, with upgrades like this, it's usually a good idea to do a factory reset after backing up your data. 4.3 was like this.
Two, when installing an update/new Rom, sometimes it takes a couple of days for it to "calm down" and settle in.
Thanks lawless.

About the screen off during phone calls; there's a setting in the Call menu you can tick to prevent the screen cutting off during calls. That might be it.
