[SOLVED] [Q] Phone rebooting with high CPU usage - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello!
A few days ago, I used CM12 Unofficial with Android 5.0 and ArchiKernel, and it worked fine. While I was using it, the phone turns off and reboots. Showed the "Samsung Galaxy SIII" logo and rebooted, in a bootloop.
I flashed the rom back, wiped all, and nothing, the bootloop still happened. I flashed it with Odin, to Android 4.1.2. The phone works, but when I use it some minutes turns off and goes into a bootloop. When I run an Antutu Benchmark also turns off.
Researching and playing with kernels, adb, and roms, I discovered that turns off when the processor runs at over 1200MHz. This happens with every kernel, also stock.
What happens and how can I make it work normally again? Thanks

The problem was the battery. After changing the battery the phone worked fine again.

It's obviously a hardware fault, you can't fix it.

[Q] I9300 hangs/reboots randomly

Hey,
since about two weeks my i9300 keeps hanging/rebooting randomly. Today it crashed thrice after about one minute after rebooting but the song that was currently playing finished. Just after that, it hang and did nothing. When the phone hangs all I can do is manually force it to reboot. Sometimes it just reboots out of nowhere. This happens mostly when locked and not being used. The logcat is pastebin.com/QdjjrJMT and the dmesg is pastebin.com/bXDJ0fXK Anything that I can do?
Thanks in advance.

Had the same problem weeks before and solved it with another kernel type. Here are many on the board that are worth to give a try
I have three new logs (connected wirelessly to the device for debugging as it never seems to crash when connected via USB) and left adb logcat running until the device crashed, maybe they help:
knubbig.de/f/log.txt
knubbig.de/f/log2.txt
knubbig.de/f/log3.txt
Am not allowed to post links, sorry.
Would be nice if I could keep everything I have and just solve the problem. Thanks.
I have the same problem for a week now. Was on CM 10.1 nightly 14/03/2013. Complete reinstall and wipe didn´t help.
On Saturday i had 15 freezes/reboots in a row...
Changed yesterday to ParanoidAndroid 3.1 and so far only two freezes this morning. I´m still wondering if it´s the hardware or the software...
freeze
I am having the same problem for 4 days. I used mega wipe , installed 5-6 custom roms but it still freezes and today it started to reboot randomly.
8 reboots/freezes this morning. Other customs doesn´t make it better.
I´m trying a stock rom now and putting it back to warranty status.
I think (at least it seems) I solved it by going back to stock, then re-rooting via cf-auto-root and then installing cm again. I got it to the state i had 24 hours ago with crashes only last evening and it hasn't crashed since.
SGS3 GT-I9300 random reboot all the time, no complete boot.

Hi folks.
My SGS3 had a workshop replacing the motherboard some 2 weeks ago, right the way i installed root and setup "Siyah-s3-v1.8.9-CWM" With UltimaRom v.10 on primary rom, "FoxHound_Rising_2.3_Full-Essential_JellyBean" on the second rom.
This worked great for about a week, then the phone out of the blue starts rebooting all the time, for hours and hours or until it runs out of battery.
No Stock recover through Kies can solve the problem With reboot.
Try to reflash With various roms through Odin With, Aroma installer starts, let me choose the options best suited for XELLA build and after aroma setups is finished and the phone goes on With rom setup, after 2sek or when setup starts or try to start it goes to blackscreen and setup dies.
Have tried many kernels and roms, but the Device is dead.
Any ideas on where to start looking?
Thanks a lot for Your time

Since I flashed the stock rom yesterday, my problems are also gone. I´m trying today a custom rom again.
Stock rom seems to be solving this issue.

I had the same issue. At first I thought it was the SDS fix, and then it stopped right out of the blue. I'd suggest just using it for another week or two. If it doesn't stop, let us know and then we can maybe find a solution.
Usually it's caused by the phone calling a memory block which is faulty, the fix then tells the phone to stop and it crashes, to save it from dying.

It´s not as simple as you say. Stock is running fine. But whenever I flash a custom rom, I get random freezes after some time.
But only a few freezes, not nearly as many as before...
So, the freezes are now gone since six days. Flashed a stock rom 3 times in a row.
It´s running fine like before, and i´m gonna stay with stock rom for a few days more to be sure.

[Q] Device suddenly stops working and needs to be wiped

I have a serious issue with both my I9100 devices.
it suddenly freezes and requires reboot. when i do it, it stuck on boot screen (Where the yellow triangle would be if using unofficial firmware)
nothing helps, only wipe data. once I wipe, device loads fine and starts working again.
I tought at first its rom/kernel related, I switched everything and even tried stock rom.
it keeps happening...today, I tried to swap batteries as one got empty, I took the battery out of the stocked-rom device (after turning it off) and then later when i switched it on, it had to be wiped.
same as with my other device.
Anyone has any clue what this is about?
Its became a big issue for me, I cant flash/wipe every few days...
One device is on Neatrom 4.4 lite, the other stock-everything, both 4.1.2

u can just rewert to stock ICS 4.0.3 firmware on both the phones and check for the issue (whether its firmware related or any hardware issue as such)
thanks for your help,
It did not happen on 403, tough it didnt happen on 4.1.2 for some while either.
what else would you suggest me to test?

1) with 403 for some time once again to ensure no issues of freezing.
2)then a different 4.1.2 stock/custom rom altogether to check for the same(freezing) issue.
stay for some time on those firmwares and see (may be one or two charge cycles).
3) do not install any mods on top of the firmware, just stay stock and see
One of the devices is already back to 403, while the second one on stock 412
the hardest thing to tell if 403 solves it or not, as it happens occasionally, once in a week or two.
I tried two different stock roms, so that would rule out #2.
The weird thing is that wiping data is enough.
data is separated from the rom itself, yet it causes the entire device not to boot anymore.

[Q] Vibration Not Working

Last night my phone grew legs and ran all the way across the room while i was sleeping. When i woke up, after searching for my phone for 10 minutes, the vibration no longer works. I didnt know if it was a software or hardware problem. So, I flashed a backup from the day before (where vibration was working) and still no luck. So i flashed back to my current backup, when i rebooted, right before the bootanimation, it vibrates. Odd? It works when the phone is booting up, but not when the phone is booted. I'm running houstonn's Vanilla RootBox (4-20 v1) with houcha kernel. All help is appreciated!

I was able to fix this, and find the root of the problem (for me atleast). Everytime i click the Dark RootBox, vibration stops working. To fix, you must wipe the device completely, and reflash the rom.

[Q] Continuos hangs issue

Hello,
since yesterday my Galaxy S2 (summer 2011) started to act wierdly and I am trying to figure out what is the problem.
I was running the latest Sentinel ROM, and I found it "freezed". So I forced restart long pressing the power button. After the restart, I found it freezed again after some (short) time. It also freeze on the boot process.
Apparently in a random way.
So I tried from recovery a factory reset, full wipe, and reinstalling the ROM. Problem still present.
Today I tried logging with ADB logcat, but I can't figure out the issue from the log. I thought a problem with Mali driver shipped with the ROM, but actually it freezes sometime also on boot (so before loading the drivers)
I tried then to flash back the Samsumg original ROM (JB 4.1.2), which apllied nicely. However it freezes also with Sammie's ROM. Also on boot. By example I one time I got the black screen with the writing "Samsung Galaxy GT-9100" getting grey, with some horizonatl black lines. So frozen.
Flashed again with ODIN, again nicely, but it keeps on freezing on boot.
I am clueless. Could it be some issue with the battery? (it's the original, never replaced)
Any help or suggestion appreciated
Thanks
Update:
I tried to flash it back to GingerBread stock by Samsung with Odin. Applied nicely.
It still keeps on randomly hanging :-|

Samsung galaxy M40 bootloop ..please help.

When I tried to update to android 11.My phone went into bootloop.After several times it worked. But when trying to switch off n on the phone it goes to bootloop again , the phone restarts automatically after showing Samsung. And it will turn on when it wants. After that works perfectly. Don't know what to do. Sometimes it takes one day to turn on.

Its simple, just reflash the android 11 by clearing & wiping all memory.
