Hey guys,
I'm hoping somebody here might have an idea for where I can start to look for this problem, I have had the SGS3 for around a year now, I put CM10 on it initially (from memory), upgraded to CM10.1 when that was released via the nightly releases and I have been running those since.
Recently I updated from a Feb / early March release (cant recall specifically which one) to the next latest (mid to late March I believe) to move from 4.2.1 to 4.2.2. I believe a little after that ( if not that day) I began to very occasionally have small lock up problems with the phone. It would lag out for a short amount of time, or would just completely lock up on the screen its on for a while (if I leave it, it can be between 30 minutes to an hour before it becomes responsive again)
Often I would need to use it so I just end up having to hold the power button in to force a reboot to clear it.
Initially I thought "ok just a bug in a nightly, that's cool, it'll be patched out soon enough", a few days later a nightly came down that fixed a notification bar drop down loop problem I was getting but this other thing has stuck around, depending on how my phone feels its occurring a lot or a little each day, generally seconds / a minute after I start to use it.
I have since jumped around on a few more CM10.1 roms and I have even reverted to the 4.2.1 roms I was using ( I still have them on the phone so I know they are the right ones) to test if its that, but now they are encountering this problem as well.
The phone is completely clear now of user data, I have done a full data clear via CWM and even the original Google "welcome" setup section has locked up more than once in my attempts to set the initial configuration of the phone....
Any thoughts? CWM etc has never had a problem so while it seems to lean toward hardware i'm still thinking its software, maybe a CM10.1 release has updated something else in the phone that's now causing problems, something more firmware related etc?
EDIT: to give some examples, just before I readded my exchange details and started to sync contacts etc, I went into contacts, opened the menu and selected "Settings" to change the first name last name sorting and it just stopped on the settings button, settings was still lit up etc but it was not responsive.
Just now (about 30 minutes later) I have pressed to turn the screen on and its on the lockscreen. Great its back I think, i'll grab the baseband / kernel etc to put in here, I slide it to the unlock and bam, frozen on that now.
more info
I had a play this morning and activated the CPU overlay etc as well as strict mode.
The phone has just done it again in the play store, however the CPU overlay shows nothing out of the ordinary and there was no screen flash to indicate a long run causing a problem.
Interestingly the cursor in the search bar for google play is still blinking, so the phone is still "alive" however i cant control it via the touchscreen or the hardware buttons.
I am trying to dump the log via ADB now however its gotten as far as finding the phone and seems to have stopped (though maybe its still going, i'll see soon hopefully)
Anybody got any ideas? This is driving me crazy and i'm not sure where to go with it now, i guess back to stock is the next option then maybe a warranty claim if thats still possible....
Log collected
Either it was still collecting or it collected after the last event in the log but i've uploaded the log to pastebin here:
http://pastebin.com/Cc20CYZH
The main thing seems to be this:
Code:
W/SQLiteConnectionPool( 6385): Requests in progress:
W/SQLiteConnectionPool( 6385): execute started 646409ms ago - running, sql="COMMIT;"
W/SQLiteConnectionPool( 6385): The connection pool for database '/data/data/com.android.email/databases/EmailProvider.db' has been unable to grant a connection to thread 237 (AsyncTask #2) with flags 0x1 for 646.44104 seconds.

And also this:
Code:
W/InputEventReceiver( 3327): Attempted to finish an input event but the input event receiver has already been disposed.
FYI - that bit at the bottom of the paste about the screen turning off with timeout, the screen has now turned off but i still cant turn it back on etc, soon enough it'll probably reboot (which seems to be what it ends up doing) then it'll be ok again until a problem occurs again.
I'm currently trying a new baseband as recommended here:

Will post the results after a few days, fingers crossed.
Did you had the same problem on any other aosp or aokp based roms?
Or just try flashing the stock rom

I actually never ended up changing back, i flashed the new baseband as above, ran the dumm file generator app a few times (letting it lock up as it went), flashed a new rom a few times as well and after all of that it seems to have worked out all the bad sectors.
Definitely seemed like I was a victim of the beginning of the SDS problem, all due to the fact i had flashed this almost immediately after receiving it and had never updated the baseband.
For those with lock up problems, go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2133401 and follow that for installing the baseband, then do the dummy file generator etc, i'm back to a phone that works properly
PS - It took a few weeks after for it to find and remove all the problems, remember your actual ROM install could be written to bad sectors so i would definitely recommend after you run the dummy file generator a few times to update your ROM at least once, it was after 2-3 updates mine had completely settled down.
PPS - If the dummy file gen fills up your storage then crashes, just go to app info (drag from launcher is the easiest way to get here) and clear the data, that'll delete all the dummy data
PPPS - The dummy file gen can make your phone run terribly as it gets close to full, be patient, its not necessarily the lock up problem but even if it is you need to let it sort it out itself, restarting will make it worse not better.
Hi Everyone, thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
I have an International Galaxy S3 (GT-I9300), running 4.1.2 stock, rooted, bought nearly a year ago. About a month ago the phone started freezing & needing a reboot maybe once a day. In the past 2 weeks it is becoming much more frequent, however. Sometimes the phone freezes while in standby (screen off), sometimes while browsing/general usage. The only clear pattern I can see is that it always freezes around 11pm everyday. These are the troubleshooting steps I have tried:
1. I did a factory reset - no fix.
2. Flashed CM 10.1 plus Gapps to test if the problem was with the stock firmware- no fix. Same problem
3. Re-flashed the stock firmware with Kies - same problem.
4. Had a suspicion that it was one of the Google apps causing the issue - uninstalled Chrome, disabled Play Music, disabled Gmail - no fix.
5. Ran eMMC Check to see if the chip could cause the problem - it says I have an insane chip, but memory block test was successful.
6. Ran logcat at 11pm last night and it froze at the following: PowerManagerService [w] Timer Ox1->OxO | OxO. I don't know if that is relevant as I don't understand it...
I'd appreciate any help. I am at the stage where I'm thinking of sending it back to Samsung for repair, but others who have reported this problem have said that there phones have the same problem upon return.
read the freezing thread in General
I can confirm that the method here is working:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2133401
over a month not a single freeze
I ran the DFG fix, will report back
Ran the DFG fix again twice yesterday (thats around 35-40gb written so far) and no freezes in the past 24 hrs...
I ran the Update for the November Security Patch (I think it is ASKI) - and when It booted up, I discovered that Fingerprint Unlock was not working well any more.
When I try to add a fingerprint, it gets up to about 41 % and won't go further - It starts showing a message that the screen sholld be cleanned, yada yada yada - but of course, I cleaned the screen several times -removed the screen protector I had installed - and cleaned it again and still have the problem. After about 30 tries, I was able to get 1 fingerprint established and it opened or unlocked the phone when I needed to - but attempting to add another fingerprint gives me the same results as the first. Clearly there is something wrong.
Has anyone else experienced this ? and did you find a fix ?
Yep, happened to me to, quite a few people on android central have the same problem to, sammy seems to have dropped the ball with this update [emoji19]
I did manage to get my thumb registered but it took about an hour of constant trying different ways of placing my thumb for it to work [emoji35]

I have had no problem with adding new fingerprints after the update.
Hi, I bought my s6 about months ago. And after one day my fingerprint scanner stoped recognized any of prints and I can't eaven add any new after removing old. The only thing that helps was factory reset. Now works like a charm especially after lest update.
Yep. Problems with my prints also.
After reboot i can read my prints, but new ones.....
Sometimes the reader does not work and I need a reboot.
Conflict with an application?
Yes the November 1 update broke my fingerprint censor toooooo....
Actually after the update all sensors other than the pen stopped
It worked for a short time and then gradually only the pen works all other functions stopped
Touch screen stopped working
Any ideas?
I was offered no update in november... weird
Hi community
I'm having a strange problem with my V30 H930. At some point a few days ago the vibration motor stopped working. Since then, if I charge the phone wirelessly, it still charges but it doesn't indicate anymore that it's charging, just as if it wouldn't charge at all. Those two issues seem not to be related at first but they always occur at the same time as described below:
First step: I tried all possible settings to reenable the vibration motor but even in the service menu (dialling *#546368#*930#) in the manual test it was dead.
Second step: I backed everything up and did a factory reset. This didn't change anything, both issues remained.
third step: I re flashed the firmware using LGUP with the "refurbish" option to really get a clean device. And both the vibration and the charging indicator both worked again! Happily I started to reinstall my apps but after a few minutes (I think about 10min or so) both problems reappeared and remained.
fourth step: I again reflashed the firmware using LGUP (which again seemed to solve the issues) and proceded to log into my google account but then didn't do anything. No configuration, no installing apps and not using the phone at all. Still after 5-10 min again the issues resurfaced.
fifth step: I again flashed the firmware and directly after the setup wizzard (logging into google account, accepting terms and conditions etc.) I disabled wifi and cellular data to prevent any updates. Still it initially worked but after 5min the vibration motor was dead and the charging indicator faulty.
I still don't know how both issues are related (but they always seem to appear and disappear at the same time). Also although I suspect it must be a software issue (because it worked a few minutes after reflashing the firmware), I'm really at a loss how to tackle the problem. Would you think a custom firmware might work? How much of a safety risk is it to run banking apps on custom firmware?
Can anyone help me? What may I do to get the vibration to work again?
Thank you very much in advance

Hey! It's been a while since your original post, but I started to have the same issue with V30 recently... Have you maybe found a solution? I'd appreciate your response
Wazzup.
Over at the Pixel 6 Pro fair, we have quite the number of people having problems with random reboots. We are trying to narrow it in - Android12? Pixel 6? Software? Hardware?
So - anyone here with the same set of problems? Or does the Pixel 6 not have that kind of issue?
For reference: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/random-reboots.4353231/
I have gotten several random reboots as well. 256gb seafoam pixel 6. In particular, I was using "Frep" automation app (unrooted, used pc to start server) to do repetitive image searches in a game. Also the phone was sitting on a wireless charger while doing this. I noticed my phone felt pretty warm, wonder if it could be overheating?
Could be a naughty 3rd party app. Have you tried safe mode?
I posted this here:
P6 Bluetooth Problems
My p6 will see most some of my Bluetooth devices (laptop, tablet, TV, earbuds) . It pairs with the earbuds, but everything else it will try and pair, usually does not. If and when hen it does pair, that pairing is dropped dropped within 5 secs...
forum.xda-developers.com
My random reboots (or crashes that forced me to reboot) almost entirely stem from the wifi+bluetooth implementation. I found a sure-fire way to crash it during setup. Without word vomiting here, connecting the P6 with and to other devices has proved more difficult than any previous Pixel (for me).

Not yet. It's also hard to "force" it (the reboots, I am not able to replicate it manually). Yesterday it just randomly happened whilst the phone laid idle next to me, thrice at the morning, about one time through late afternoon, then one time evening. I just notice the screen lighting up, then the Google logo comes, meaning the phone restarted.
I'm also pretty sure that Bluetooth/Wifi settings differed when the reboots happened, ergo at some times bluetooth was on, then when it rebooted, bluetooth was off. At no time when the reboots happened had I a bluetooth device connected. WiFi was online though, all the time.
What all the reboots have in commong though (at least the ones where I am concerned), is that the phone is just laying next to me, or somewhere, being in idle - doing as far as I know, nothing. It never happened when I used the phone or put it under load, so my P6 never "crapped" out under me. That's why I am not that concerned about this as of now, but it's certainly a nuisance to unlock the phone every time with my darn pin.
(Concerning 3rd party app) - I'd say that's unlikely. I copied my files over from my Pixel 4 XL and have not yet added one singular other app to my P6 Pro, so it should have gone naughty before my transfer over.
Hi! I experienced a big crash on the pixel 6. When I was configuring telegram, the app crashed and then the screen got black. After a minute it rebooted to the Google logo with a loading bar underneath. It was blocked in that state, but I could reboot it with volume up + power button.
I was pretty scared as the usual button down + power button didn't do anything lol
12 (SD1A.210817.036) on my pixel 6, occurred randomly when opening camera app. Happend 7-10 times.

Odd. I never had a problem whilst using the phone, my phone only rebooted when laying idle (even though today I had no reboots at all, alas I didn't use the phone much, maybe 2h SoT without any heavy lifting).
Something in android 12 is bugging around, maybe we have to open support tickets.

I just talked for a while with a Google rep and he said that they are not aware of any reboot problems, no people over at Google Forums have reported such a thing. "We do not monitor Reddit or XDA" - so he said he opened a support ticket to the responsible team and they would look into it, he also asked that I / we report/feedback this under -> Settings -> Tips & Support -> Feedback.
We also talked about a lens flare problem, that at least the Pixel 6 Pro has. If you shot some photos where the sun is directly shining into the camera, you might want to re-check them. Most of mine have either some sort of big circular green dot in them, or a big beam of light like in a phone with a very bad HDR processing. It seems to be some sort of software glitch, he also reported that.
So hopefully those things can get fixed.
This was the follow-up email:
Thank you for contacting Google support.
This email is regarding the chat conversation we had earlier today, I'm sorry we weren't able to complete it. Hence I wanted to follow up via email to ensure all your queries have been answered.
Please re-launch the camera app and check if the issue is fixed.
Please be assured our developer team is working on this to fix it as soon as possible. We would really appreciate your kind understanding as we work on this to fix it for you.
If there is anything apart from this that needs clarification, please feel free to reply back to this email. I'll be more than happy to assist you.
Thanks!

I'm having similar restarts while phone is sitting on a table doing nothing. Tried a factory reset and was fine until overnight on charge and it happened again.
Also have had a few times where wifi has stopped working for some reason. Not sure if related.
Not had any reboots but quiet a few app crashes in especially FB will be scrolling away and bang just closes also Amazon app ,
Well that was interesting.. When it rebooted that time, it gave me an error screen saying it could not load and may be corrupt. I had two options, try again and factory reset. Try again got me back running, but I'm wondering do I got as defective device now.. or if it's software related.
So after a lot of messing around, I think I have narrowed down what may be causing my reboots. It only seems to happen when I am using "Frep" to play macros on a game while charging my phone.. the phone gets pretty hot, and reboots when I tap the screen or try to swipe home or recent apps. Maybe its overheating, or maybe its "Frep" playing naughty.. but Frep did work perfectly fine on my old $200 used Nord N10 5g. Will update if it reboots while not doing this.
no reboots or crashes so far, not doing any gaming - but using phone for email, surfing, whatsapp etc and also a work profile for MS outlook and teams.
I have/had similar issues with my Pixel 6 (128GB - europe unlocked).
I was transferring old data via cable from my old (Xiaomi Mi A1) to the Pixel 6. This resulted in sluggish performance, crashes every 15 minutes. The crashes would randomly occur and behave mostly like this:
Try to unlock phone with fingerprint sensor
Fingerprint sensor lights up, nothing happens, no haptic response
Swiping up to the PIN entry. Enter PIN and hit enter. Nothing happens. Now freeze.
Screen turns black and it takes phone to reboot on average ~7minutes
Factory Reset; Installed apps manually (standard messaging apps, no games etc), better performance, problem persists
Factory reset; boot into safemode. It now took way longer to provoke the issue. But it still happened.
After this I contacted the customer service and they will provide me with a replacement. But now after a night of idle, the phone was working for 3-4 hours without any issue at all with most of my apps installed. It just now went into a random reboot (could only notice because it asked for PIN because of the reboot). But not the 8 minute blank black screen type of reboot.
I am really unsure what is the issue at hand here. But have to say that experience is less than ideal.
Mine just happened last night, not charging or running anything 3rd party apps (all from App Store). I tried to use the camera after eating dinner and noticed that double clicking power button doesn't open the camera anymore. After unlocking the phone it appears that the phone has restarted.
Is anyone running Private DNS on their system like Adguard DNS or NextDNS? I did some searching and people reported some private DNS were causing Android to crash. It was suppose to be fixed in previous Android versions but it could be back again.
I haven't noticed any random reboots (and the lock screen will require a pin to be entered after reboot and says this on the screen, so you should know the phone rebooted). I've had the P6 since the official release date. In fact, I haven't restarted the phone in days.
I run a wide variety of apps. Some from the Play store and some sideloaded. I think that any reboot issues are probably app related. Remember that A12 is very new and the are surely still some compatibility issues that app developers haven't found/fixed yet.
