My O1 shuts down every few hours by itself. As everybody told me, i removed the sd card to see if that is the problem, but it still shuts down. Al this "shutdown frenzy" started after i flashed the first custom rom, Void.
I flashed back via nand recovery, i did all possible stuff, but nothing. As i tried reinstalling the original firmware i found out that i coudnt, theres no firmware for Romania, and the KDZ crashez on my machine...
Any suggestions on this one?

Strange... it's really hard way to resolve, but what about some logging on SDCARD? Problem is that it can be really huge file. And Murphy law... it definitely will not restart for many hours...
I just bought a class 6 sd card, i'm testing it, maybe it's the card that shuts down the phone... i'll post the result tomorrow.
Lol man , I have the V10B for romania . I can give it to you on messenger if you add me : zerobarat1 .

I had void with gapps, gingerbread, kernel, a2sd, blink, tapps folders on sd. Then I flashed milk_os kernel. Everything was fine.
Then I created stage fright and hwacc folders for quadrant testing. Something happened my neocore score was only 9 fps (though quadrant was 1100). I deleted stage fright, hwacc and kernel folders. Phone was fine again. But was going to sleep of death after some time of non usage. Didn't reboot even from power button. Had to take put and reinsert battery.
So I created the kernel folder again and rebooted. Went into recovery again and applied milk_os kernel again and rebooted. Everything is fine now.
Something remotely similar happened to me a while ago. I found the phone turned off without any particular reason and it refused to power on until I removed and reinserted the battery. It had me worried, but fortunately this didn't happened again ever since.
My problem seems unsolved. I also found my phone dead two times again only in last 4 hours.
Guys any solution. I have void with a2sd enabled and with mik_os kernel 1.1
Did you have the same problem when you were on stock? It might be a physical fault rather than the rom. Also, I believe the latest void already have mik_os kernel 1.1? So there was no need to flash it again.
a2sd maybe? I read quite a lot of issues with that thing.
Miks kernel 1.1 has some scrolling bugs, flash 1.0 and maybe problems solved
I applied mik_os v 1.0. Now everything seems ok for last 16 hours. Will notice further.
Everything ok till now. May be it was something related to mik_ os 1.1.
With 1.0 problem seems to be fixed as of now.
Try dev kernel v3, it's enhanced version of mik's v1.0 kernel
Sorry to say, but this damn bug stroke again. I just found my phone dead, unwilling to reboot unless I took out the battery (which, by the way, was 94% full).
I'm using void #alpha with a2sd and mik_os kernel 1.0 and I don't have the sdcard unmount problem. I can't tell if this also happens on stock ROM since I don't intend to go back to stock ROM until LG rolls out the 2.3 version.
Waiting for some stock ROM user input, but my guess is that this is hardware related.
Any help?
That happens to me all the time!! I took it to LG center and they said it's because of software problem. Anyway, now my phone has one problem. I accidentally made the locker apps to make default screen and it totally black out my home screen. I can't access to my setting to get rid of this apps or can't make even calls. I tried restarting again and again but it doesn't work. How can I uninstall the apps on phone storage by using PC? Or any better way to solve it. I'm a beginner to Android. So, please kindly help me. It is so annoying.
Hit the search button on phone and if search screen appears, type settings in it. If you are able to reach settings, you can do everything from there. Try playing with the search button on the phone.
If this does not help, you will have to do a factory reset. You can do a factory reset by the pressing the combo of home + vol down + power on buttons if you are on stock rom. If other rom, do via recovery.

same here too .... (when the phone turn off the screen automatically...or auto suspend...is the same) i have the #echo and .... i have the random power off and... some times... it keeps on the boot loop when it supous to suspend... butn when i suspend the phone whit the power button ... the phone keeps working fine... i dont know what to do... XD
I got the class 6 SD and since then i had no problems with shutdown. Though at the time i'm writing, my O1 is at service. It seemed that the shutdowns are related to the sd, even if you don't get any unmount errors. My logs say that each time the phone shut down, it was trying to access a service from the sd memory, and, guess what, there was no sd! So it closed all the services.
could it be unmounting sd card?
After a long time of checking how to fix this, I, finally found it.
I had this error several times, and, I always tried to check where it was the error. I did a factory reset and, suddenly this error stopped. But I needed to know exactly by "doing what" this error appeared.
This error appears in one of this two:
- if you dissactivate the "rotation" in your phone.
- if you dissable bluetooth in your phone
One of those two. If I dissable this two, my phone, in about 1 hour, it suddenly shutdown. But inmmediatly if I enable this options, its stops to crash.
You can toogle this options with the "battery" widget in your phone.
I hope this will help you, as it helped me. Plz, tell all the ppl about, how to fix this.
Hi everybody
I have bought chinese android tablet last month.
Boxchip cougar a10c,similiar as mid/player momo tablet
http://www.bursaandroid.com/product...ghz-hdmi-support-game-3d-os-ginger-bread.html
It's came with android ice cream sandwich 4.0.1+rooted+unlock bootloader
Working flawlessly until i installed task killer app.
I used it,and after several times i killed app,suddenly there is pop up notification came.("Unfortunately Launcher/Market/Gmail/Emulator,and many else has stopped")
I reboot the tablet,but when it turn on,it is just bootloop.I reset again,and it doesnt appear anything on the screen unless the black screen only (with sometime light flashing from the screen).
Then i flashed and format it to gingerbread (2.3.4) rom from their official web
And yes,it is work and finally i can boot into home screen and do any else.
But after several time turning off and on,the problem came back again (bootloop and black screen) but somehow i manage to go to recovery mode and do factory reset+wipe data and cache,but it's useless.
I flashed it again with the same rom,and it's start working.And goes..after a while..the problem back again.
I choose to flash back to ice cream sandwich.When i turn on,then goes the same first problem at the begining
("Unfortunately Launcher/Market/Gmail/Emulator,and many else has stopped").
I reset again then new problem came out.
( Encryption Unsuccessful - Reset Android)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1447303
Rather than use that guide,i choose to flash to gingerbread rom.
Then it's fine,until..you know,reboot the device and back again to bootloop
Is it because the task killer app?Or it is hardware failure?or maybe there is some file that has been deleted/terminated?
This is really frustrating for me,actually this is my present to my mother for her birthday,i'm kinda sad and regret for choosing this tablet,i wish i could turn back in time,maybe i'll choose galaxy/sony tab instead of this one..
Please..i'm really need help here..
Many thanks for sure..
they always worked fine for me, mbbe depends on which app
Hi guys,
I have a huge problem. I had a stock GB firmware customized by Optus (carrier in Australia) on my S2 I then decided to change to the new ICS 4.0.4. I downloaded the stock unbranded firmware from SamMobile (Australia 2012 September 4.0.4 I9100XWLPW, I9100XSALP6, XSA) I updated using Odin. Before I did the update I reset the phone, did the update, it all went smoothly. After the update I reset the phone again and then proceeded to reinstall all my apps and restore my contacts, sms, etc.
The phone works and all functions on it work, however now very randomly the phone would totally freeze. The phone would be in standby, the screen would come on and it would be frozen. The screen stay on all the time and it does not respond at all. It will stay frozen until I restart the phone by pressing Home+power buttons to restart it.
After restart it all works fine for a few hours, sometimes a day and would just lock up again. The phone is not rooted and as I said i just changed the firmware from the Optus branded GB 2.3.6 to unbranded stock ICS 4.0.4 by using Odin.
Is there a way to find out what is causing the phone to lock up like that? Any suggestions would be helpful.
and then proceeded to reinstall all my apps and restore my contacts, sms, etc.

I hope you haven't restored any data app?

I made sure that I didn't restore any data apps. The only apps that got restored are the ones that get automatically restored by Play store.
I have disabled the live wallpaper that I had and it seems to have stopped the freezing for the moment. I will report on what I find out.
In the mean time if anyone else has a similar issue or has a definite solution please let me know.
Thanks
i know this is a resurrection, but don't see it has been resolved.
also found same/similar problem on another topic, but no resolution either.
couldn't find any resolution anywhere on the net, but possibly i'm just missing it (searching for wrong parameters?)
anyway, a friend of mine bought second-hand (third or even fourth hand to be precise) i9100 with 2.3.6 (stock KI3) on it. the guy who sold it to him said something like: "it works best on 2.3, on 4.x it's buggy".
it was working fine, but friend wanted newer OS, so we tried update. it didn't work, and i found out CSC was broken/missing. somehow i managed to repair it, and update was finally working, but was unable to find any for our location.
so next step was to find stock rom that would work on the device, and then i tried four different 4.1.2 stock roms from this topic.
after flashing it through odin, every one was acting fine, until couple of minutes after it started freezing or rebooting randomly.
then i tried flashing CWM, and flashing from sd card, but it was all the same.
wiping data, cache and dalvik cache, prior to flashing. wiping data after flashing...
nothing seemed to work.
GB works rock solid, ICS works better than JB, but stills it freezes or restarts randomly.
tried CM10, but all the same, except it works a bit faster then official JB. but who cares about speed if it freezes/restarts constantly?
back to who knows which build... freeze... samsung galaxy s2 - i9100... with yellow triangle... booting stopped.
so i decided to dig deeper, trying to find hungarian stock build (country we were told the phone came from) not being sure that KI3 is what the phone came actually with. i found 4.0.3, put it on SD card, wiped data, cache, flashed CWM, wiped data, cache, dalvik cache, flashed 4.0.3 from sd, wiped data, booted, entered location for updates - hungary. update found, hooray... downloading... installing... rebooting... working?
nope... it's worse than ever. trying to log onto google account. typing in email add.... freeze... switching phone on - freeze... thinking about... freeze.
i couldn't sit still. yellow triangle, all those reboots/freezes... at least i wanted that triangle gone, and without a JIG, there was only solution for me was to try triangle away. it wasn't available for download in my country from play store, so luckily xda was there.
somehow i managed to download it from the device, install it, click remove the triangle... it did it's magic, rebooted... and miracle happened!
no more freezes.
so i started torturing poor phone, benchmarking, playing games, listening to music.... it seemed stable for about an hour.
so i said to myself:
- it's possible that previous owners tried to upgrade it to newer firmware, and somehow screwed up the bootloader, which was fixed by this app? maybe that was all there was from the beginning? why not try putting 4.1.2?
and i did... took 4.1.2 spanish build from already mentioned page above, flashed it... and voila. working JB... torturing the phone... playing with it... hour passes, another hour...
friend wakes up... takes his phone in awe, starts playing with it.. we talk a bit... and then that look it just froze again!
from that moment on, the phone again starts restarting or freezing randomly...
and, yes, i still have no clue what could be the cause. it doesn't matter if wifi is on or off, if you're talking on the phone or not, bluetooth and gps are always off. only thing that he noticed is that it usually happens while he's using the phone (meaning: operating the digitizer or buttons). if he starts music playback and not touching buttons or screen, it will probably play for hours.
one more thing, but i doubt it would be the case. the battery in the phone is not original one that was shipped with it, but a quality replacement.
it doesn't feel as if the phone is overheating... so i don't know what else i could do with it.
for now, it's back to 2.3.6.
we both lost a week, torturing ourselves with this problem.
i don't know is there anything i could add more?
all suggestions are welcome.
cheers
Maybe try kernel cleaning script and try philz or siyah kernels.
You shouldn't have to flash a custom kernel so your phone won't freeze, but yes, you could run a nuke script in order to wipe clean all custom ROM's leftovers.
Try flashin' jb via mobile odin, see if it keeps freezing up on you. If so, nuke it up.
Sent from the little guy
i'll try them out.
probably for the weekend, if not sooner. will report back here with info.
any other suggestions are also welcome.
thanks a lot.
cheers
ok, so here are some updates.
i finally got my hands back on my friends phone, and tried nuking remains of older flashes.
following that, i flashed stock spanish rom from above mentioned page, updated after installation to spanish update... and after a few minutes, sudden reboot...
so, went back to nuking, and flashed stock hungarian 4.0.3 i found elsewhere (mentioned in my earlier post. don't remember origin... if i find the link on another computer where i downloaded it on, i'll post the link). tried updating, says no updates found.
started torturing the device. it seemed solid, but battery reported it level was low, so hooked it up onto charger and all seemed well. but phone seemed a bit too hot.
after few minutes (this was all about half an hour to hour after flashing to 4.0.3), again freeze.
after rebooting the phone, battery was at 9%, as if processes were draining battery faster than charger recharged it.
so, i figured i gotta try original battery. so i switched his battery with genuine from my phone.
phone seems stable and less hot, for now.
still checking if it is going to freeze or reboot again.
it's about one hour since battery change. still on charger and using wifi and playing around with apps.
i'll check in with news later.
cheers
I have the same issue.but my battery is original.
What I noticed that the phone stuck when I receive an update notification.
Can I stop softwsre to ask for updates? ???
Sent from my GT-I9100G using xda app-developers app
^go to settings, about device, software update and detick auto update. that should stop it from trying to self-update.
ok, so here is an update to my friend's phone status.
currently on hungarian 4.0.3. about 3-4 freezes/reboots a day. sporadic connection breakups during calls. also, when we talk i can hear myself back. this brings me to conclusion it has to do with modem firmware. i found this topic, so i'll try putting that and see what will happen.
if that doesn't solve anything, my question is this: is there any way of knowing which firmware/rom was originally put on the device, since i don't know the real background of the device? i.e. some way of entering IMEI and finding out what should be on it?
cheers
EDIT: tried KH3 modem, no changes... i could still hear myself while talking to my friend on that device. also, it froze couple minutes later. going back to 2.3.5-2.3.6 for now.
so after couple of months, i finally got my hands back onto this phone...
gave my friend my phone, so i could play a bit with this faulty one.
i have played with it for a couple of days now, and here are things i've tried.
i received it from a friend with 2.3.5 on it which had triggered custom binary counter. he's been using it for couple months without any problems.
so i rooted it and installed triangle away again... reset counter, cleared and flashed hungarian stock (telenor) 4.1.2... random freezes again.
tried several stock roms, mostly hungarian ones (4.0.3, 4.1.2). even reformatted with .pit file... random freezes.
reformatted again with .pit and put XXLSJ, installed stability test and let it run...
cpu stability test 15.5 hours no problems, no freezes. then i realized it didn't have a sim card, so i rebooted phone and installed sim card. let it test cpu+gpu for 9 hours... no errors, no problems, no freezes.
so i thought, maybe it's all fine? but it wasn't! as soon as i took phone into my hands and started going through menus it froze!
so i tried SGII_repair, rooted and did "repair"... but nothing changed... still random freezes.
if i just let it do the stability test, it'll probably work forever.
things i've noticed:
- serial number is wrong format (14 hex digits instead of 11 alphanumeric)
- during stability test, cpu frequency dropped from 1200 to 800 mhz (maybe because it was getting warmer? 42-43C during cpu only+charging battery, and about 39-40 during cpu+gpu test)
i tried to find out which firmware is latest according to serial number via kies, but it gave me error.
i know it's from hungarian market, but don't know which exact part of it (branded or not).
don't know what previous owners did to it, and don't have backups of original efs or anything original.
i just want to make it work, don't care much about custom firmwares. i'd be happy even with unrooted stock... just for it to work!
i have no ideas what else to do.
anyone?
finally, as i couldn't resolve the problem, i returned phone to 2.3.5 and sold it as is.
thanks to all people who tried to help.
cheers
Hi All,
I've got an stock Unbranded 4.1.2 GT-I9300[T] on Three UK and over the last few days it has been repeatedly freezing. Out of frustration I've done a factory reset and left it with just the stock apps running. From there I've narrowed it down to WiFi, when it's enabled the phone will operate correctly for a few minutes and then it will freeze. When the freeze occurs some animations like the Update icon in the status bar or a Live Wallpaper will continue for a few seconds but the phone remains unresponsive. From there the only way to get it to respond is to do a hard reset by holding down the power button.
I've got a few extra details from the About menu but I'm not sure how much help it'll be:
Baseband Version
I9300XXELLA
Kernal Version
3.0.31-742798
Any assistance you could provide would be appreciated. I've had the phone for 6 months and gone through two OTA updates without significant issue but this bug is causing me more than a few problems.
Exact same issue here.
I flashed the latest I9300XXELLA to the phone using ODIN and then did a factory reset.
It now freezes every few minutes, usually after I've pulled down the notification menu.
Its also restarted itself several times.
Can anyone suggest any fixes?
Some more info, I've now had two more system freezes while using Speed Test and Downloading an app, both on mobile data. Seems to be something to do with the Wireless firmware?
I am facing the exact same problem in India on XXELLC which was up for download on 28th Jan 2013.
I have wiped the phone and the cache several times but the same issue of freezing.
Anyone have a solution pls help.....
Same problem.... with stock firmware

Hi all, hoping to get some help. I rooted my phone the other week and was using viperrom. I had no problems whatsoever, no glitches that I could remember. That is, until I decided to trade my m8 with a friends Note 3. I factory reset it and give it to her, I left the viperrom on because she didn't mind but then the glitches started to happen. The onscreen bottom 3 buttons disappeared for her (home, back,etc.), So I reset it again but the problem persists. I searched for an at&t stock rom and sideloaded that after master resetting, wiping the dalvik cache and all that... now a different problem popped up. It hangs at the HTC logo for what seems like forever, but then I noticed the volume up and down make a noise as if the phone is loaded up. I pressed the power button a few times and eventually the screen turned on and I could see the home screen. This happens every time I restart the phone and I have tried reinstalling the stock rom a few times. I am now in the process of trying a different stock rom.. the first was odexed and this new one is deodexed, I dont know if that makes a difference in my situation but does anyone know what could be causing this? Any help would be appreciated.
Nvm, after a few more master resets it seems to have sorted itself out... not sure what it was but its gone now.
If its the latest version of Viper, based on 2.22 software, you need to update the firmware package, otherwise the long boot times will continue.
