I had brought it 2nd hand and I don't know what had happened to it?
but one thing is sure it just crashes and then restarts as it is not in warranty anymore so im confused what to do.. it restarts every time more than 20 times a day restarts even when not in use and some times it restarts when it is being used.. also 1 thing I noticed that it doesn't restart so much while it is being charged rest time god-forbid.. its like a piece of crap... when ever it reboots and restarts battery level goes crazy... I can share a battery screen shot if u want me to?

my phone cant start

hi
when i push the power button,my phone just make a vibrate and not anything else and cant start!
i used update service and repaired the phone but it did not work!!( Although its says that the firmware successfully installed )
even i used flash tools and test other firmware but nothing happend
still the phone cant start,just vibrate!!
sry for my bad english
any solution to fix this problem?
It seems you did the right things to try getting it started but its not working out for you. I think you have to go to a repair centre to let the phone checked by se.
I assume you made sure the battery was not completely empty and you were patient, because after flashing it takes a few minutes before the phone starts up the first time.
Therefore I think there is another problem with your phone, just being unlucky I guess...

I have this same issue.
I hadn't turned my phone on for about 2 weeks. I turned it on, it booted windows, I restarted and it just hung at the main booting screen. The numbers that show radio version and all of that never come up.
I've hard reset, I've gone into the boot loader without issue, I've soft reset a couple times -- no dice.
Any ideas?
i have same problem
but when i put it in cool place like freezer for 3-4 min it works but when it become hot again hung and restart then vibrates for 7 times again
i don`t know what should i do...

you hard reset, because it froze in androiddd????but why???...android runs from sd card and hard reset restores your internal device storage...........you guys need to first read
well thanks for all the help instead of just telling them theyre stupid
i ve got the same issue.. android froze so took battery out..
after that it hangs on htc screen or vibrates then nothing..
i then put the stock rom back on via boot loader method (volume down and power)
managed to getting working once to setup the phone then it told me to reset so the settings took.. upon reboot same ****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GOt the same issue. I called HTC and they think it is a motherboard issue. So currently returning it back as it was and will sent it to them. Maybe Android fried something...with overclocking
I have the same ******* problem ! But 2 mi in freezer working fine
I experience this on my nexus one, any fix for this? thanks!

3. problems get worse. At this stage it is possible to notice the 7 short vibrates at boot time if the phone is warm or kept in a warm environment. You don't have to push it very hard, it only needs to be warm. The vibration pattern is an error code made by the actual qualcomm chipset
can any help me i have the same issue HTC HD2 Vibrate 7times. I have HTC HD2 Tmobile

hello, do you have your stock rom somewhere?

[Q] Galaxy S 3 - i9300 - freezing randomly every few minutes.

Hi
my s3 keeps freezing. the screen basically just freezes while i'm doing something. and the device stops responding to anything.
cant lock it. cant do anything. it doesnt even autolock , the screen just stays on with whatever i was working on.
------------------
the only solution is to wait for it(about 20 minutes) and it will get back to whatever it was doing earlier. or hold the power button and it will reboot.
when i checked my router, i can see that it is still connected. so wifi is working. when i call my number from another phone, it rings but the S3 does absolutely nothing. and after it starts working again, i dont see any missed calls. so anyone who calls me while its "Freezing" will get ignored. i wont even know !!!
---------------
its not related to any app or function.
i updated it to 4.1.2 using odin a month ago (official release, because it would take it forever to get the update in my country) . it was running smoothly. a week ago it started freezing for moments every day or two. now i cant get through 10 minutes of using the device without it freezing for 20 or 30 minutes.
then the screen is turned on and it goes back to normal. and freezes after 10 minutes even if i dont use it.
i've noticed that using WiFi speeds up the freezing. When Wifi is On, it takes about 30s - 3 minutes for it to freeze.
--------
---
I did a Factory reset(full wipe from recovery mode), it worked for about an hour after the reset , and started freezing again like before.
----------------
after researching online.. many people had the same issue. some say its the stock android browser(but i dont use the browser), some said its a glitch in WiFi power saving mode(Disabled it, nothing changed), some said its a problem with the battery(i'm gonna trade batteries with my friend and see what happens).
I'm Freaking OUT !!! ... the device is Very Unstable and i use it on daily basis, i cant live without it. i dont know what to do. i've almost tried everything.
and i've paid alot of money for it
....
.........
i dont know what to do next. probably gonna flash it back to 4.1.1 or 4.0.4
i Hope to hear any ideas from you. or from anyone who had this issue with his device.
thanks in advance
Did you try a full wipe ?
Or maybe trying another ROM?
Try flashing a full stock Rom with a full wipe might that help

Dude, mine did that the first week I got it. Ended up failing and became stuck in Samsung's boot logo. That has nothing to do with whatever rom you're using. Backup and return it to stock if possible/needed, and take it in for a replacement/repair asap.

i did a full wipe, it didnt help !!
if i get really frustrated i will wipe it again, and flash it back to stock 4.0.4 ( but i hate ICS, ... JB is soo much better)
Suggest you flash a different kernel and see. Would recommend Siyah or Yank 555
My freezing issues stopped once I did it.

i bought it 7 months ago, returning it is not an option.
----
and this has never happened before. and it didnt happen after i updated to 4.1.2 right away. it happened a month later
so i'm thinking it has to do with the hardware or some app update thats messing things up.
thnx for replying anyway :good:

Sounds like SDS (Sudden Death Syndrome) to me....

Take it to a certified Samsung service center (that's where my phone is at the moment with the same symptoms).

No dude, I had frequent freezing issues. Had to always take out the battery and restart.

Did you find any solution for this? Mine has the same symptoms, but only when playing heavy 3D games.
*** ORIGINAL ***
I had this problem for the past two days. I removed my sd card about half an hour ago which seems to have fixed it. Before that it wouldn't even last two minutes without "locking up". I'll report back tomorrow if the problem was fixed permanently.
*** EDIT 1 ***
Nevermind, it froze just a few seconds ago. Keep on looking for a solution.
*** EDIT 2 ***
Well, I didn't touch my phone my phone over night and now it's working just fine. I have no idea why though.
update: my phone has almost stopped freezing. in past 24 hours it has frozen only ONCE !!
i've noticed that the freezing becomes more frequent if i pull the battery or restart by holding the power button.
so i started leaving it to sort it self out every time it freezes. and now its running smoothly.
-------
i'm happy that its working now, but still i wanna know what caused this. and if it will start happening again ??
---
everyone thnx for the feedback
and i will post updates and new info if i get any !
Mine is fixed
So i was having the same problem as the OP and i fixed my problem... These are the steps i took but maybe not all of them are needed.
Bought Triangle Away and Reset my Flash Counter
Flashed the Stock XXELLA ROM which updated the bootloader
Flashed CWM Touch Recovery 6.0.2.7
Booted in Recovery
Wipe Data / Factory Reset
Booted Normally
Installed crDroid ROM v10 with Siyah Kernel
This was finished at 5:30pm last night and my phone hasn't frozen since.
Spoke too soon
Well,
Phone is now dead.
Completely.
Doesn't turn on anymore.
I want to cry...:crying::crying::crying:

Hi Ali5anDro31,
Just curious if you have any further updates? Is yours still working well?
It seems I have the exact same problem as you (freezes randomly, more likely to freeze during heavy load but also often within 5 minutes of boot, usually unfreezes in about 20 minutes, and often gets stuck on Samsung logo if forcing reboot rather than waiting).
For a while I thought that following your advice and just letting it unfreeze itself when it happens (even though it takes a long time) it might have been fixed (going 18 hours without a freeze after having about 30 freezes the two days prior), but now I just got one again (within 5 minutes of starting browsing this morning).
Should I stick with it and hope it resolves itself, or take other measures (e.g. see if I can return the phone)?

I keep getting freezes also.
So far, it only happens with XXELLC based roms. When I go back to XXELLA the phone never freezes.
I have tried several XXELLC Roms, but all of them freeze, including Omega and VikingRom.
I'm now on VikingRom v4.1 (XXELLA) and no freezes.
Edit:
Nevermind, now it's happening also on XXELLA roms. All this started happening to me after i installed CM10.1, and then i went directly to XXELLC, of course wiping everything including internal storage.
Spent 2 days with this problem, i'm on XXELLA with a completly unmodified S3 using a 64gb SD card. I think i've fixed it have now been running for 30 hours without a freeze. before it was freezing every 5 minutes, nearly sent the phone back.
Any way my solution is uninstall all updates to samsung 'music hub' and uninstall the samsung push service updates and disable. this seemed to fix it. Can't believe Samsung are putting out software that knacks their own phones.

[Q] repeatedly crashing n rebooting

hi all, as the title says my hox + is repeatedly crashing n rebooting. this has been happening since yesterday. the hox was fine in the morning and then randomly started playing up in the afternoon. the phone is completely stock n locked. its not the power button as when I enter fastboot the phone stays on n doesn't even freeze. it went flat after a while so I left it to completely flatten over night. its been on charge for a while now n its still rebooting even without me turning it on, it turns on by itself.....freezes.....then reboots.
any ideas guys?
really don't want to pay for insurance again n I now know it takes takes 2 weeks to replace a lost phone so god knows how long it will take them to look at a phone
"pay for insurances AGAIN"?
Does this happen randomly? Or it happens all the time? If you will be enough desperate, you can always try a factory reset as this looks like a software bug.

yeh ive tried factory reset in fastboot and also erased cache command. im going to try a rom now ive got it to stay off n charge. it will only stay off selecting power down quickly, if I select power off in bootloader it restarts. it does seem like software though as it doesn't auto reboot in recovery or bootloader

you can try increasing the voltage for the CPU...
does it show something on its screen when it reboots?
cant do anything. it would boot up fully...then freeze after 5 secs or so then reboot and do the same again. Ive claimed for a new phone now tho. I couldn't find an ruu after trying a new rom so insurance repair wasn't going to happen. the phones gone now n hopefully a replacement will come soon. guessing I had a bad refurb last time iclaimed

Random reboot or phone turning off with over heating

Hi guys. Im using the international version of GS2. My problem is that my phone switches off suddenly with over heating or reboots randomly. I have used different ROMs and found this problem persisting. I cleared everything from my phone, used tools like GS2ROM nuke and GS2ROM Wipe but still this problem is there. I read a post saying battery may be faulty and replaced my battery even. But no luck. I found that the over heating and switching off occurs only when screen is off. During continuous usage, it is more or less fine. (except for occasional random reboots). also, this is always random. it doesnt make any sense. i even checked the hardwares of my phone in the service centre and he says the hardware is fine. Pls help me guys. Im going mad.. :crying:
Somebody help me pls.. I think its a serious issue.. :crying:
same problems here...
An answer would be nice!
Guys its driving me crazy. I cant use it at all.. It gets heated up and turning off or reboots randomly. :crying::crying:

No bud. Not working. How about you?
I am a huge fan of custom roms and have flashed many of them, it was all fine before. but suddenly, this problem was omni-present in all roms. :crying: So i flashed the stock ROM version 4.1.2 (INDIA- XWLST) via mobile odin. it booted well after wiping cache and factory reset and was fine for a couple hours. After that the problem got massive. phone will restart or turn off when in screen-off. This continues even now in stock ROM. I tried everything from wiping cache, factory reset, dalvik cache wipe, fixing permissions and everything. But no results. THE MOST BIZZARE THING IS THAT PHONE IS FINE WHEN SCREEN IS ON. I experimented by keeping the screen on for an hour and nothing happened. THE MOMENT I PRESSED THE LOCK BUTTON, IT RESTARTS. Im going mad guys.. someone help meee.. :crying::crying:
EDIT: I think there's nothing wrong with the power button because it works well in all other places. If i remove the battery and reboot, I get a few seconds where i can lock and unlock screen. But again, it starts.
No can do guys???? there's no way to make my phone alright??? :crying:
