I bought a phone from a user on reddit. I just looked up the IMEI (I got it from about phone) and it says it belongs to a "SAMSUNG I535 Galaxy S III". The phone is a S6 Edge 64gb. Would there be a reason why it's not coming up as an S6 edge? I'm using http://www.imei.info.
The other thing is when I go into recovery mode It says this at the bottom. Is this normal?
"manual mode applying multi csc applied the cdc code: VZW Sucessfulfully applied multi-CSC. Successfully verify for dmverity hash tree"
As soon as the phone arrived, the battery was draining extremely quickly. So I decided to use Odin to flash stock nougat on the phone. It's not rooted as far as I can tell.
Can help? Thanks!
Unbelievable. No response...

My phone does not go to deep sleep . Im trying to figure out why. I thought maybe it was due to it having multiple csc or phone having that weird IMEI issue. My phone is not rooted. I'm running nougat. I have tried downgrading to MM and Lollipop but each one gives me dmverity on reboot. The only rom that works for me is the latest nougat. The phone is laggy and feel like it's always working. Like low on ram or cpu is being used. Here is cpu spy image https://imgur.com/a/rpvb6
This morning after a full night not being charged. The battery was almost at 100%. It ended up around 10% in the morning.

Phone not going to deep sleep is nothing to do with IMEI or CSC so don't worry about that.
The issue is the wakelock AnyMotionDetector. If AnyMotionDetector detects any movement it will remove the phone from doze. Use amplify to change wakelock settings for AnyMotionDetector.
Or do a full data/cache wipe through recovery and start again see if that solves or improves it.

Thanks so much for your reply. My phone is not rooted so I can not use amplify. Are there any apps i can use with a not root phone? I have factory reset my phone about 6 times but every time the same thing happens. No deep sleep. Can a hardware failure be causing this?

It's a software issue not hardware. Try updating firmware. Or root your phone, and use amplify/ greenify any cpu auditor to tweak or even titanium backup so you can freeze the AnyMotionDetector see of that helps.

So it got rid of the motion wake lock. The partial wake locks look good now in BBS. But look at the kernel wake lock. There's something weird there... 15510000.mdmpm_pdata. Any idea what that is?
Phone lost about 40% power while sleeping last night.

So i have had a look around forums and some mentioned that it's to do with mobile data and Wi-Fi. Some suggest to turn off Wi-Fi and turn on mobile data. Reboot phone then turn WiFi back on.
I also found this on git hub (screenshot) which tells me it's to do with radio/modem. I would try leaving phone on flight mode overnight and see if there's a difference.
With it being a kernel wakelock you can't do anything about it. Try a custom kernel?

That sucks. I wish I could downgrade to MM or lollipop without the dm verity error. Is there anyway I'm getting that error because of some hardware issue? The battery has been changed and the wireless charging removed. I dunno what else could be wrong with it. I may just sell the damn phone and buy a different s6 but I need to stay with Verizon.

You have to be very careful with the dm verity error. Because that is your efs files and folder and if they get corrupted you will have no network permanently. The wakelock can only be fixed with custom kernel.
Have you looked at a different model that can be unlocked to accept Verizon? Not sure how they work in the US as I'm from UK.

the phone powered off it self until i pressed the power button to turn on again. i noticed this often happened when i put in my pocket for a while. but when i put it on table over night it didn't happen.
roms that i tried that had the same problem:
batista 3.7++
lightening 3+,6+
cognition 1.4+
apps that i tried uninstalled but no avail:
-setcpu
-daemon control(batista rom)
-juice defender
is it due to motherboard issue? appreciate your advice. thanks.
have u tired wiping data and dalvik cache before installing any rom?

So the this issue s only occurring when the phone is in your pocket and never when out of your pocket.
this happens to my Phone as well.. its kinda random...
sometimes when am listening to music and sometimes when its just on standby
for example it just restarted which reminded me to search for this error...
few days ago it was on standby and had shut itself down and the battery was completely drained after 5 hours without anything on.

yes, found it only happens when putting in my pocket. when charging over night or putting on my work desk, it didn't happen.
and yes, it happened few times when it turned off it self, it lost about 10% to 20% battery in just few minutes... the phone was warm when it happened. that was why i took out to check and found it already powered off..

all happened to shut down it self. so i guess it is not rom issue..
I would try a stock ROM for a week, just to be safe (no apps/tweaks/kernel, etc., really stock). I'm pretty sure a recent stock ROM will not give you issues, I would not worry about the hardware.

thanks for your advice, will try stock rom then
Ya, do that... just to see what is going on.
More on the technical side, the screen needs minimum 500Mhz to get out of Sleep Mode. Some custom Rom's use a low voltage or "underclock" feature that reduces the power consumption but also the number of CPU steps. That is what makes your phone crash and reboot randomly.
Once you put the stock ROM, do a sdcard wipe (if you use one), just to be safe. It should take several hours, so do it over the night. Personally I would not use an external sdcard during the one week test, just be sure.
You could also have a RAM (hardware) issue, ya. But 99% of the time is related to software. Bad memory degrades fast so you will see your random reboots pop at a faster frequency. If you did all the above and still experience random reboots, run adb logcat to see what is going on at that specific moment. If you get error codes like:
Code:
code 1 (SEGV_MAPERR), fault addr 00000000
you are dealing with bad memory unfortunately and need to service your phone.

I also heard that some people had bad battery contacts on their S2. Clean them with some audio head tape cleaner and cotton swabs, than make sure the contacts are proper... it should eliminate this possibility. In a way, it makes sense since you move a lot with your phone in your pocket.

However, I have a feeling this is your problem, since the phone restarts in your pocket only. Don't smack it like the guy did, heh. Go easier, think like it is your girlfriend...
Just clean the battery contacts and make sure they touch properly.
is there a guide on how to install Stock ROM back on? cant find any...
how can i root my sgs2...?
it also happened to my phone. so i brought it back to the store where i purchased it and told them that it was shutting down randomly when i put it in my pocket. after 15 days of waiting i called them for follow up because they told me it will take 7-10 working days. they told me that the phone never shut down in the service center. what can i do about it? i don't know how to flash or root. this is my first android phone.
I have finally found a solution... installed XXKH3 FW stock, not rooted yet, and installed an application from the android market called Load Monitor
Code:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.landak.loadmon
and enabled only Add Notifications, only notify high load, autostart and only screen on... seems to do the job, no battery drainage and most of all NO SOD (Sleep Of Death) or restarts anymore
If you still have problems try checkin wake lock from the options of the app...
Hope it helps

The phone did not rebooted in their store because they did not move it, you have a bad battery contact that can be fixed easy.

Hiya all,
I recently (yesterday) updated my S3 to Jelly Bean via Kies. I'm in UK so we kinda got it late.
Since then however, the Wifi is being a right *****. It keeps dropping and then few seconds go by, reconnects, then a minute goes, then repeats the cycle of hell! I've made sure the power saving mode for Wifi is off by dialling #*0011*.
WTF do I do?
Thanks.
Backup data and factory reset .
jje
Factory reset does not help here. I wipe as a matter of updating the OS (old Windows tech habits) and in-fact it has gotten worse recently. I'd not noticed any problem in the first week but now I see it reconnecting frequently while in use. Often pick it up from the desk to see it wasting my cell data.
It seems to be a known issue, that helps, but not a lot of info so I'll bump this with a reply. Anyone know any more yet? Totally stock system here.
Hi Folks
So i have this Wifi problems, connected to a wifi i can surf and then after a few minutes nothing works, cant surf, cant check my mails. i have to reconnect to the wifi and it will work for the next couple of hours...
I googled this and im not the only one with that problem so i tryd to disable the wifi power safe mode via *#0011* but that did not work.... so the next thing i wanted to do is to disable 5ghz suportt on the wifi but i cant do that because im on 4.1.1.
So guys any advice here ? I also tryd to reflash the device but that did not helpd...
Model: GT-I9300
4.1.1
Kernel: 3.0.31-319653
ROM: Omega V30 - XXDLJ2
This i a brand new phone so i hope someone can help me with this...
And sorry for my bad english !

Back to the topic, I have the same prob, works after diconnecting/reconnecting, annoying but u get use to it & not that big of a deal IMO, but granted that considering the device's price one shouldn't have to fiddle with it to get that kind of basic option to fully function.

This is a carrier issue that you are experiencing. It can be corrected relatively easy.
If you do not have root access, then root with CF-Root and perform the said modifications and then Un-Root your phone. Simple

Yes and no. If the problem is a third party app, factory reset won't fix it, unless you restore as new and don't reinstall any apps. Safe mode will at least let you see if it's a third party app although you won't be able to do a lot with the tablet while it's in safe mode. Just email, youtube, etc.
But if it's happening every time the tablet sleeps - mine's not, just about once a week or so - you only need to let it sleep in safe mode and wake it back up to see if it's a third party app.

Some of the posts were wifi not working at all, some were after sleep. Either way, it looked like it worked for me for a couple of days, but this morning it was disconnected.
TiBackup ran last night, and it was supposed to sync to the cloud. It errored out with a connectivity problem. Thinking back, I believe the last time it dropped was on a scheduled backup day. I'm not certain, though.
Did you try safe mode, and if so, did it help at all?

So i did a factory reset, and that appears to have fixed it also.
Not sure what app broke it. I had no crazy app installed a few games tapatalk titanium. etc.

But thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Well, at least with Lollipop it's easier to rebuild from a factory reset. Guess I'll have to do that too.
BTW, unlike my N7 and S5, I have a fairly minimal install on the N9. All mainstream stuff, and only about half the app count of the other devices.
Hey,
Has anyone else had issues with the Moto Z not enabling WiFi? I've done:
safe mode
cache clear
Factory reset
Network reset
And nothing will get it to turn on. Spoke with Motorola who wants me to send the phone back. I kind of don't want to go 5+ days with no phone, and don't want to spend over $200 for them to mail me one so I can send it back. Was planning on ditching this for the V30.
Anyone have any other ideas on how I can get the WiFi to turn on? Or a way to sideload the NPL25.86-17.4-1 update?

Hey,
Has anyone else had issues with the Moto Z not enabling WiFi? I've done:
safe mode
cache clear
Factory reset
Network reset

OK I assume your bootloader is locked. In that case you should be able to take the OTAs and upgrade to newer version and test wifi after the upgrade

Where can I download it? I cannot get it from my phone without being on WiFi.

you will need to get the OTAs using @erfanoabdi OTA link generator I will find it for you and post it here.

I have same problem with wifi not enabling anymore, looks like hardware problem with wifi chip
I have a similar problem - I can not enable wifi and hotspot in my Moto Z. Wifi MAC is 02:00:00:00:00:00.
The problem occurred without any good reason - I did not update nor install anything. I tried wiping cache - no success.
Did anyone have this problem and solved it successfully?
Or is it a hardware issue and the only thing I can do is buy a new (and hopefully less crappy) phone?
I'm having this issue on a stock, never rooted, never 'hacked' in any way Moto Z after the Oreo update and I found one thing that may have fixed it: going into wifi preferences and setting it to remain on during sleep, even when not plugged in. Battery drain is minimal from this so if this continues to fix it, it's acceptable.
If this fixed it, and it looks like it does, then the issue probably is caused by how in some cases the phone puts the wifi to sleep and then for some reason doesn't turn it back on. Try setting this up and rebooting.

Hello everyone
I have Samsung Tab S3 since it's release in 2017 .. and it was a very nice tab till a couple months ago ..
It started restarting by itself .. and it happenes always when I'm not using it or when I'm pausing a video ..
And when I leave it for a couple hours i find out that it's turned off and it can't be turned on till I hard restart it ..
I tried :
Emptying the battery to the end then recharge and didn't work.
Removing SD card and didn't work.
Entering safe mode and still restarted.
Wipe cash partition didn't work.
Factory reset and didn't work.
And finally flash stock ROM with Odin without rooting .. problem not solved
When I put the tab on power saver the restarting takes so much longer to happen ..
Could it be a hardware related thing? Or a battery thing?
Thank you in advanced for your help
*Edit 1 (problem fixed) : I rooted my tablet and installed Kernel Auditor app and changed the governor to Userspace and set the minimum frequency of the CPU to 422 instead of 307 and made the app do the settings change on boot . After this it had not restarted for 3 days.
*Edit 2 lately I flashed lineageOS unofficial 18.1 android 11 into the tablet and edited the big clusters only to interval governor while keeping the small ones with blue schedule. My tablet now is working like a charm with no issue.
Has the battery SOT time noticeably decreased?
If below 80% of its original capacity it's time to replace it.
Any swelling is a battery failure, replace asap.
Changes in charging behavior could indicate a failure as well.
Has it been dropped or exposed to moisture? You see where this is going... mobos can also randomly fail.
Does it happen in safe mode?
Check it to rule out 3rd party apps.
Original rom, don't update the system apps, all power management should be disabled.
Pull SD card if it has one for now before reload.

Thank you for replying
*After the restarting it gets stuck and shuts down and you have to turn it on by (down+power), if you turn it on immediately you have the same battery percentage but if I let it through the night and force turning it on the battery is decreased alot, it looks like when the tab is off after the freezing and restarting it is consuming alot of battery even if it's off.
*I tried the safe mode it still restarts
*I went to the beach 6 months ago and it stopped charging because of the moisture for about a week then it got back to its normal state
*I noticed that When I boot into (downloading mode) or (recovery mode) it stays on for days and doesn't restart or freeze
If you got salt water in it, it's already dead.
Needs to be pulled apart and inspected for corrosion damage. Sorry...

You mean the motherboard or the battery is dead ?
If the mobo got salt water on it or even water in it can destroy it. Current flow greatly accelerates corrosion.
The tab needs be dissembled*, dried and inspected for damage especially where there's high current flow and exposed conductors.
Sooner is better...
*pull battery connector asap

I had to replace motherboard
My tablet turns off by itself
Good evening. As the title says, my SM-T820 turns off randomly. I've changed the battery and installed several official firmwares with no luck so I don't know what else I could try, if anybody has any idea please tell me. Thank you so much Kind...

Ah thank you, not sure if this is true but if you install a custom rom will you will lose functionality of the s-pen?

You are welcome
it will still work but the button will stop working .. after all you will get a 2017 tablet to work with Android 11 with an amazing speed and without all that bloatware that were slowing the device. And if you didn't like it you can go back to the stock rom whenever you want .

It worked has not crashed yet and I found that s-pen button thing annoying anyway so thanks again for the help
I sometimes find my S3 has shut down and requires a long press of the power button to boot up. I have not determined the cause. I wonder if just root will allow deleting enough bloatware to make a difference
