[Q] Help - Weird problem - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have a weird problem with my Galaxy S.
Every week or so my phone starts going mad,all apps go FC and on reset it starts boot-looping.
That problem is only solved by factory reseting(every time).
I tried everything,tried changing the ROM(had PilotX then MIUI GB now MIUI ICS),
tried wiping SD card,flashing GB to 2.3.6(had 2.3.7) and installing everything all over but nothing works!!
Help?
Thanks in advance,Snir.

BUMP.
anyone?

No OC what so ever,and the phone didn't go mad at some point,it is going like this every week or two,and when i data wipe/factory reset it goes back to normal.
Thing is,i didnt do anything extensive with my phone,and tried to format SD,format to GB,put different kernels,different ROMs,nothing works!

i think your proccesor has hung up its only functioning as desired when u have soft formatted ie clean less apps data etc but with due time when it increases it isnt able to handle....i dont find any other reason for the behaviour as all the other choice have been ruled out....how old is your phone"?

[Q] LG P500 random shutdown

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 .
Cheers
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.

need basic info :
MODEL
ROM (the ones you tested with)
KERNEL
THEME USED IF ANY
OC Y/N
UV Y/N
and everything that could help us to know what happens exactly
[email protected]
PS: try a factory reset, formating SDcard, and a SEUS restore (all data will be lost) and do NOT restore any backup : backups always contain old bugs

OK so ummm its a x10 mini pro u20i
with cm7 2.2.0 but this glitch happens with all roms except ICS
it happens when i have locked my phone about 20 times, and when i restart my phone it goes back to normal, and if i repeatedly lock my phone, the more the screen screws up
ive tried all that still nothing kernel is Naa kernel the latest on number 11 is it? and tbh i cant remember if it happened with my old kernel, ummm ive tried changing themes but i only use the cm7 themes, GO LAUNCHER is what im using, it happens with al different launchers, it doesnt happen when i newly update my rom, it happens after a day or two, i dont know which program it is that screws it up, and tbh i dont have much time to actually be testing cause i need all my apps atm, i cant believe im the only one having this problem well i think im the only one
your not the only one pal, my misses had the same issue for quite a while. where the status / notifications bar would just hover somewhere around half the screen and you would have to pull it up a thousand times for it to f**k off.
she was only on stock rooted. and tbh i fixed it by flashing minicm7 yesterday.... not what you wanted to hear though eh?
i tried to see if i could find a screen calibrator app to try reset the screen but my quick search turned up nothing as she was still on 2.1 or 2.2.1??
if i was you i would try find a calibrator app and see if you have any luck with it.
good luck

[Q] Problems with S3

There seems to be a weird issue with my Galaxy S3.
I had installed the Omega ROM v36 (upgrading all the way from v23 i.e 24,25.. serially) without wiping the data.
The phone was working fine until a few days back. Then suddenly the phone used to hang(like old nokia phones).
I tried calling the sim number and the call was going through but wasnt getting anything. The screen just stood there.
And then i had to reset the phone (Power 8 seconds) every time it happened.
Today I wiped the data and freshly installed the ROM. The same issue still exists.
It is really irritating. and even after reset-ing the phone the phone hangs the same way!
Please help someone.
Should I go back to stock? Something else?
Please!

But the problem is since v34!
I tried installing every update.
Nothing helped!
And which SD do I need to format? internal or external?
Did you experience this screen problem before the custom rom? Lets hope its not a hardware problem.
Try formatting your internal SD. Don't think your ext SD could affect it, though eject it just in case. Return it to stock as much as possible.

Internal phone storage

Good day every one,
I'm having a problem after a month of using "[CM 7.2][ROM][PORT][STABLE]ACE-I-SCAPE v1.8 [12/10/2013]*Xperia Z1 Style*"....
At first everything was working smooth and fine, but i think i made a mistake, I Installed Zombies vs Plants and I think my Ace didn't like it much, everytime when screen goes sleep and game is still on it just stuck and i had to re-boot my phone and after about 6 times of doing this my ROM just crashed... When phone loaded it made Hard factory reset by it self, all apps and changes that i made to my phone got back to default, all accounts and contacts disapeared and everytime when i re-boot it now same thing happends and bigges problem is, Internal phone storage from 250mb went to 0.00B so i cannot receive any messages or install anything to my phone now.....
Could some1 advise me? Or the only solution is use Odin to flash it back to it's original state?

Why is my GS3 doing this ?

ok,30 minutes ago my gs3 was next to me and I had music on then all of a sudden the ''Samsung Galaxy S III" splash screen appeared.It kept appearing and disappearing so I took the battery out for a while then inserted it and it turned on.5 minutes later the same thing happened and now it is working again but well this might happen again.What could be the problem ? can it be SDS ? but I had my gs3 for a year and a half so I doubt that.I'm running wanamlite 4.1.2,have been using this rom for almost a year.(except for trying out a few other roms sometimes).
Reflash your rom, try first without a wipe.

You can try this:-
Go to recovery and do factory reset. (You will loose all software installed by you, may b contact & sms too)
Wipe Cache & Dalvik Cache
Tried a factory reset and tried restoring to a an old backup,didn't help.I didn't try reflashing the rom, I doubt it will work because restoring to a backup that was working fine didn't help either.I'm thinking about giving it to samsung,hope they won't blame rooting and custom rom for the problem but I'm out of warranty period anyways.
Try another rom! But with a clean install! don't restore your nadroid backup data, use Titanium Backup for your apps.
I noticed that it happens when I actually use the phone(like for a few minutes) but when it's idle,it operates normally.
I don't have any other roms right now and I can't download any because my internet is limited currently.
UPDATE: It looks like the problem is the power button because when the phone does boot,the boot menu keeps showing up and when I pull the battery and insert it again,it boots automatically.I will get it fixed,thanks all.
