Long story short i was playing Clash of Clans on my phone for 5 minutes. The screen starts to "flicker" meaning lines of brighter light appear and flashing. Phone turns off. Phone restarts itself and i find it drained from 80% battery life to 4% after the whole ordeal. Any suggestions of how to fix this would be brilliant.
Also, like to add if my phone doesn't turn off it instead causes my 3G mobile network to shutdown or if I'm on wifi the wifi signal will cut out. This is all just from playing clash of clans.
P.S. had my S3 for 10 months had no problems with it in the past until about a month ago when i started playing clash of clans. Phone is rooted.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
Dude
Have you rooted your S3?
And are you using any kind of custom kernel and ROM?
If yes then u may change ur kernel or kernel settings like changing the undervolt setting to stock!
And if no then u may try by formatting ur device!
I have also faced the same problem but in my case it used to happen only when my battery level used to go below 20%!
So now I have changed my ROM and kernel with a complete format and now its all fine...
Hope it will help u
Your battery is ancient and needs replacing.

I have the same problem too weeks ago. changed new battery same result. it overheats and shuts off very frequently like 20mins to 1 hour. then I begin to diagnose 1 by 1 like deleting seldom use apps. still the same until I turn off wifi then only will it last. my solution is an app called Advanced Wifi Lock from playstore as it has helped me before during those days of flashing roms to tablet. its been more than 3 weeks now and it runs like new and never once shut off . remember mine is new battery and also see if its wifi related. hope it helps if its relevant.

hello it was working like it should only thing was that screen went totally black and there was no way i could see anything .. i took out the battery then after turning on the phone could see the bootscreen but after booting it went black again .. so screen was normal the setting i had changed was from nightmode in chainfire3D .. had selected custom and set all bars to minimum then hit the test and BOOM!! my phone went blind .. so yes screen is working, phone is working - i can feel the vibation when it turns on when i unlock by just scrolling down because i have been using my phone a lot so i know where is the unlock on screen ..
Seems like you're just going to have to reflash your rom. That should fix the problem. I would recommend doing a full wipe (of data and cache) before flashing.

thanks .. i went to recovery mode and did format system .. its working again .. so i am installing all of my applications again .. thanks for helping!! god!! i am never touching those settings again ..
Glad I helped. Cheers .
Good evening,
I was performing a perfectly normal factory reset in CWM tonight, when it froze while formatting data. Then screen went blank. Tried to reboot, nothing. No recovery mode or download mode using three button combos.
I was trying a new ROM (Omega Black-Blue), but decided to revert to my backup of HydrogenICS. It was during the wipe prior to restoring the backup that the problem occurred.
I have Siyah v3 running, and have had not problems in the past.
Any ideas anyone??
did you try removing your battery keep sometime out and try again 3 botton Combo for DL mod
if you can get a full charged battey also try the same..
get your battery out of the phone , and i think you didnt wip system , so you can enter recovery and enter download mode also , i think it is battery proplem happened to me once and i though my phone is dead but after recharging my battery in onether s2 phone for 1 hour and get it back in my phone , all goes fine
first you should try to change the battery, if that doesn't work,
open Odin in the pc, and then try to get into download mode as you would normaly,
except for this you wont see anything on your phones screen, now press volume up
plug it into pc, and see if odin reads it, if it does, try to flash to stock from there,
i know this from experience, it happend to me on my galaxy note
How could it be a 'Good Evening' if you have just bricked your phone?
Try using USB jig..
I had the same problem with my Galaxy S. I tried, charging the battery, replacing the battery with a charged one, download mode, power flushing using all buttons etc. Nothing worked. USB thing did... So why not give it a shot. if nothing works, then just give to Samsung, they will replace it for you.
Cheers
- me!
Don't go making promises around things you have nothing to do with.
If you don't get to go back to stock & reset the flash counter before you send it to Samsung, the experience on here over the past 6 mths has been 50/50 they ignore it & give you warranty service or replacement/they make you pay for it.
It is very much the luck of the draw/dependent on who looks at the phone, Samsung policy is to refuse warranty service in situations like this.

i'm having the same problem.
been on hydrogenics with siyah. tried to do a fullwipe to reinstall the system. but it froze at "format data"... i tried several times but it never finished "format data". then i tried to restore a nandroid backup. which didnt work too. then i unplugged battery. after that no turning on anymore...
might this be a problem with siyah and hydrogenics?

My wisdom is very limited due to me being new to rooting and stuff ._.
But yeah, USB jig is your friend.
Yes, same scenario, the only difference was that I was using MIUI and Siyah. it bricked my device (mmcblk0p10 , or i should say, data partition) is dead.

The other mode is called recovery mode.
The factory reset will wipe your data - although most will be probably backed up and restored later.
Try that, if it doesn't work, flash with the download mode.

Did wiping from recovery mode not help? try that before trying odin, it's much safer.
Also, please follow all the instructions when dealing with odin, misuse can hard brick your device and turn it into 600$ useless paperweight.
no i just relfahsed with odin , and it restarted it then said re installing 0/200 apps like it started up first time then it restarted and now its back in a reboot loop

Weird, seems like a problem with one of the apps (?) since it was reinstalling them, factory reset from the recovery menu and see if that makes the difference now that you flashed with Odin.
If not please report back.
PS: wipe dalvick cache under advanced in recovery.
it wasn't reinstalling them. it was optimizing them because the cache was cleared. you need to factory reset. factory reset from stock recovery will also wipe the internal sd though
i am not rooted so dont have access to clr dalvik cache
flashuing stock rom with odin didnt work .
factory reset worked !!
lost all my torrents and stuff on sd card . teach me to back up now
thank u
read the guides

Hi you would never guess what. It happened again. I restored all google apps say 100. Then I was using SMS back and restore to restore about 16k texts . I have lost about two months since the last back so my phone had handled more txtx s then 17k texts
Then it was stuck on solid blue led and glowing samsung logo again . So I just factory restored and now it's ok again ,but now I lost all my stuff again having stayed up until. 4am in the morning rode loading and re installing all apps
Seems like something is hitting all the cache causing the phone to semi brick ? Could it be a bad cache ? So when the phone writes to that caches it bricks it?

No idea, is everything fine now?
Is your problem resolved?
Not really
I just been googgling , is this what they call sudden death?
I did call up samsung service centre and my phone is still under its two year warranty so I got time to take it back.
He did seem helpful but issue is I have fixed it by wipe and factory reset so problem is now not present so not much he can do
The service centre did say if they can not find or repeat the fault then they can't do anything and would send same phone back. Having come from iPhone , it seems the service is not as good . When I had problems with my iPhone they just swapped it out after they plugged it into some machine.
It's been ok today. Though, it's restored all the same apps I had and it hasn't bricked itself yet thank god
I am using app back up and restore and it's sayings I got 290 apps lol
17k of text messages, that maybe the problem..

Hi everyone,
First, please excuse me for my bad english
So, I'm here because I have a really big problem with my Samsung I9100.
Indeed, I will explain my problem. I installed the SENTINEL ROM 5.00 a few month ago, and I never had a problem before.
But yesterday, I don't know why, I have so much problem with my Network, (My friends haven't the same problem and we have the same operator, it's Orange)
So, I don't understood why I had this kind of problem. After a few minutes, my GS 2 shut down...
I tried to boot but It had no effect !! I fall in a reboot loop, whith no home screen.
After a panic I try so much solution :
Wipe Data, Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik Cache, reboot. Same problem ! Sometimes, I can access to the menu, but a few minute after, it shut down again.
I tried to restore an official firmware, no effect, He can't load, he is blocked with "Samsung animation boot".
I tried to restore with a ROM (Rootbox 3.91), no effect too, I can access temporary to my message, and after a few minutes, he shut down !
Sometimes, I just click in the home button (The only button), and it shut down !
I observed now, it can't book if I don't connect it to the alimentation's cable.
Really, I'm so lost, I understand nothing. Especially, I didn't do something special to make this...
If someone can help me...
Thanks !
Flash stock rom with Odin, re-root your phone & restore nandroid backup or reflash custom rom & start again from scratch.

Thanks, I will try this, but my sometimes, my USB port of my I9100 has so much problem with the connexion.
Could you give me a link for a stock rom please ?
Thanks mate.
It sounds like you would get into recovery-mode?
Do you have an ClockworkModRecovery?
Can you make a nandorid backup with the recovery?
Do you have an older Recovery you could restore without too much data-loss?
Is the battery ok? Can you start your Phone if you connect it with the charger? If yes I would recommand to backup as many iportant data as possible.
I'm running sentinelRom 5.0 too and I have no problems.

Hi Baerlinaer, thanks to answering me.
I had no problem with SentinelRom 5.0 since few month, but yesterday I don't know why, I have so much problem in the same time.
I can access to the recovery mod, and I restore my back up since the recovery mode. I tried to restore 3 differents ROM.
I don't know if the battery is OK cause in the screen, I have 100% but when I disconnect the alimentation's cable. It shut down ! And I can boot but after the first boot animation, It shut down !
I don't care about my data really, it's nice but I just wanna recover my phone with all his fonctionnality !
I alrealdy make a backup !
I am very lost cause I don't know why it do that :/
Can you start the phone withe the cable plugged in but without the battery?
Couse if you can, it is the Battery. I had such a Problem with a Laptop once. The Battery was broken and it rebootet after a few seconds or minutes. I tried everything, to recover it and then I took out the Battery and it run perfectly well.

Hello,
I have a "problem" .. because of a bad sleep the last days I could recognise that my Honor 7 is rebooting every night while charging ... I do not have to fill in the SIM Pin or so.. But every widget is "loading" after the first unlock of the day..
Does anybody else has that "problem" ? I can go with that unless it is happening while I do not use that phone in the night... Hopefully that behaviour will not change to the day time...
Thanks for yoour input
If you recently updated to B370 or B371 do a factory reset and problem will be solved. I had same issue.

Try wiping Dalvik-Cache first before doing a factory reset, it might solve the problem.

There is no problem in factory reset.
Just backup with phone app, reset and restore. Phone will be as before. Quick and easy.
Check under Settings> Smart Assitance> Scheduled power on/off... If it's on .. Then turn it off
