i use Samsung galaxy s2 with the latest firmware version from Samsung kies (ginger bread 2.3.5) , the problem occurred after installing external SD card and move bunch of apps to it,i tried removing the external sd card from my device, the device stoped rebooting, when i insert it again the device keeps rebooting over and over, the problem is obviosley is moving apps to SD card, i tried to delete the content of the file (andro secure) in SD crad this file includes the moved applications from phone memory to external sd, the problem also stoped
i wasn't having this issue in 2.3.3 therefore
its one of the three:
1- android 2.3.5 do not accept lots of apps in external sd
or 2- there is a problem in a specific app in external sd which make the phone rebooting over and over but i don't know which app is causing the issue because i have lots of apps installed !
or- a problem in the newest firmware 2.3.5 as i heard many ppl having troubles with it
to fix the problem i did factory reset and the rebooting stopped but im scared now to move apps to sd card that the rebooting problem occur again as it happend to me twice after doning factory reset and move them.
i need your help guys, it's annoying to not be able to move apps to sd so the problem don't occur

I will be honestly: I didn't read all BUT
1) U have rebootings after putting files on external sd.
2) after factory reset problem was passed
3) copying again - reboot again
-> right?
1) U thought about wrong (damaged) files you copy?
2) Or maybe files which normally used from an app and this app now isn't able to use it because u moved?
Thing about and check this, I'm sure one of it would be the fold.

it's not copying actully, it's downloading the apps from market and move them from internal storage to external sd therefore i don't think it's a damage files case because they are a market apps however i move only compatible apps which doesn't have (lower right icon) in app2sd, install latest version of app2sd to know what (lower right icon) mean
I'm having the exact same problem! It just randomly started last night, I was playing the game "Blood and Glory" exited the game and around 2 minutes later after checking Facebook it started doing the boot loop.
I'm running the Sprint Epic Touch 4g with Android 2.3.6
I recently put in a 32g SD card a little over a week ago cause it seems the 16g internal is partitioned to only around 2gigs for apps and I have around 130 apps.
I use App2SD pro to move all my apps.
I'm having the same problem, I bought SanDisk SD Card 16GB. when I install it and moved all supported Apps to the SD Card the problem occurred and my SGS2 keeps rebooting over & over during the whole day.
One of my friends made a factory restore & installed the previous OS 2.3.4 and the problem disappeared!!
The thing is what if don't want to root my device and install 2.3.4 what we should do.... shall we keep the SD card only for Camera Pictures & Movies???
any suggestions???
Hey guys,
I am using SGS2 as well. My phone keeps rebooting like more than 2 times a day. randomly. I convince myself not to blame gingerbread2.3.5, thus i tried uninstall my apps in batch (5-10apps each round) and see which batch of my apps cause the prob, if they are not those who cause rebooting issue, i install them back (in phone space not SD card) but so far i still couldn't found and just few mins ago it rebooted again. it happens after the upgrade from 2.3.4 to 2.3.5, after i downloaded a few apps and updated a few apps. I will finish with the un-installation and re-installation.

saw this thread. people were talking about the Dolphin HD which caused the reboot issue, did you have Dolphin browser app installed?
I am having the same issue, too
It started on my S2 after the latest firmware update. I can unmount the SD card and the phone boots OK. I read somewhere that my SD card may have issues, so I purchased another and moved all of my files. The problem reoccurs with the new SD card. I do not have Dolphin browser installed.
I had this issue. I reformatted my sd card and then moved some apps and data back. One week reboot free. 32gb sandisk

In my SGS2 it reboots sometimes in the market, i dont know what to do...
test your sd card for errors...!? thats where i'd start
same problem ... do not restart I had to remove the microSD .. : (.... How do we fix??
SG2 rebooting all the time also
My Sg2 is rebooting every 20 minutes or so.
Is formatting the the SD card a fix?
Mine used to reboot 3 to 5 times a day. Did a factory reset and formatted the internal SD card and set everything backup without Dolphin browser and it's been good for about a week now, no more reboots.
Whether that was because of the rumor that Dolphin browser caused it or from the reformat of the sd card I don't know. But I'm happy none the less.
Got the same problem. It started 2 days ago, and the only fix I've found was to remove apps from my SD card.
From what I've tested :
- Formatting the SD card and copying back all the files doesn't help.
- Removing the SD card or having an empty one works.
- Uninstalling the Dolphin browser didn't help.
- Doubt it's a specific app causing the issue (nothing weird on my S2)
- Removing X number of apps on the SD card seems to work. Now I'm not sure if I had to clear a specific number of apps or a number of MBs, but it works (for now).
Hopefully we'll see a fix soon.

Yours sounds like a problem with an app...
Everyone else should test their sd cards for errors or try fixing bad sectors...
Used to happen on my previous phones with crap sd cards... Once I bought a decent good quality one its never happened
about a month and a half ago I removed dolphin and my reboots stopped. They started up again and my card became corrupted. Decided to go no-card for a while. Was fine for a month. Decided to go for a good deal on a sandisk 16 and 2 days later after moving a bunch of apps on the reboots are back.
Points to a card issue. I've been though 3 cards on this phone now and am about to reset it to factory and bring it in for diagnostics.
Driving me nuts.

I got the same issue (2.3.5) and my SD Card is calss 4, the only way to avoid restart prob. Is to root and downgrade to 2.3.4
Waiting for any other feedback.
Any update Guys,,,,???
This problem is still occur in ICS leaks..
Without knowing this thread I have created similar thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21457609
Still, my thread is to gather data about how many user can reproduce this issue.
This issue is side effect starting from Samsung update 2.3.5..
The only way to avoid this issue is by downgrading to 2.3.4 or lower version.
Dear All
Today i faced a strange problem which i believe it is a hardware problem .
1st of all , when i am copying files to my Internal USB memory , My gs2 freeze and strange faint crackle sound from the speaker !
Then mobile restart. now wen it restart you will see a random green dots around the the S mark.
it is not a died pixels ! i am sure!
PS: i dont have MicroSD card . just the 16 GB internal Memory !
PS: i can open downloading mode
PS: i can open Recovery Mod.
PS: System is " NOT Rooted "
when mobile start up , it will try to scan the media storage , at this point the mobile is freeze and turn off !
now i tried to format the Internal USB before system reach the Scan point.
i did the format , but if i put any file of images in the USB storage , it will freeze.
and with a normal use after 2 min , mobile freeze , restart , and stock on the boot loader , some time a can not even start the mobile , i need to wait 15 min and then try to restart it.
i update the frameware zilone of times , and Now, am on LPS ICS .
When the mobile start installing the programs ! it Freeze
i did format (webe) cash and user data , same thing ,
i did install android
2.3.3
2.3.6
and now ICS 4.0.3 LPS
same thing !
When i start the phone it just reach the ICS home screen , Scan the media , freeze , die !
ps: the phone is kip getting warm !
please advice !
remove external card and sim ,try booting an c if it works,then only wiv ur sim in try to boot...
Backup data and Factory reset is always the first step .
jje
Sounds like hardware failure to me, no amount of factor resetting will stop that. I would get in contact with a samsung service centre if I were you.
try to full wipe, even your stuff, the flash to stock via odin
i did format (wipe) all things in my mobile .
and as i told i did reinstall a stock android
and i told that i dont have any MicroSD card .
any way is there a way to permanent unmount the internal storeg and use a MicroSD card instated ?
had the same problem, after updating to ICS (UK Sim Free). I just did a hard reset and now it seems to be working ok. Though the phone does stop responding at times, when I try to copy files. But if i leave it be for a 5-6 mins, it starts working again.

I recently updated a game on Play Store which was installed on my external sd card and after about 2 mins, the phone started to restart repeatedly...on reboot the message scanning sd card is displayed and in 2 mins the phone restarts again... this keeps happening....
on removing the sd card the phone operates normally...
in some forum i read that this happens because of corrupted apps....once i uninstalled the app (i updated ) the phone returned to normal working condition....
is this a bug in S2..is there an app that can run on boot to identify and uninstall these corrupted apps
Phone Model: GT-i9100 (India)
Android Version: 2.3.5
thanks, darengive

some games and apps do pose problems due to incompatability for various reasons like rom not supporting, kernel issue, android ver issue etc so always google for games and apps compatable with ur rom and install them only

Hi I don't know whether or not this is useful to yourself but I had a similar problem with my S2 and my S3.
Every now and again it would unmount my SD card and I would get a similar message.I used an app from the play store called the SD card monitor "i think" to check for errors and to see how often this happened.
After all this a quick backup of the memory card, a quick factory reset followed by software update cured my problem for both handsets.
If this has helped please :good: this :highfive:
hi everynone
I recently bought one of those Chinese tablets called XON (android 4). Everything works fine except for 1 thing, though!
when SD card inserted, the tab checks it very often displaying "preparing storage" msg in the corner and if an app is running a file it will close down.Moreover, this keeps happening while the tab is on stand-by and drains the battery! I've tried formatting tab and sd and reset factory settings.the problem persisits with different SDs so its not the SD issue.when the SD is not inserted this msg is not displayed.
can anyone help me out??
