Galaxy S3 Freeze AFTER recording video?? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there. Today i just noticed some lag after i recorded a video. I recorded a video for about a minute and a half to 2 minutes each time and then when i pressed stop on the screen...it stopped recording but kind of jammed or froze on that same screen still showing the red stop button, both times it did this. Is that normal for Galaxy's to do or is it just my phone? I went to test it again later but i recorded a shorter video and was fine and no lag, but seems that larger or longer videos seem to freeze or jam it for a bit. I was in a very dusty, dirt road area and just maybe though something may of gotten into the phone and wrecked it a bit but just had it replaced with a brand new device nonetheless.

I personally haven't heard of/read about anyone experiencing this (nor have I experienced this myself) so maybe it's just an isolated incident - have you tried searching?
I regularly record 10 mins vids fine if it's of interest
Are/were you on stock?/root?

Are you on 4.1.2 stock rom with custom kernel ?
Then try to search its widely known issue
Hope this helps

What rom are you using custom? stock?

im on Android 4.0 stock rom. It happened two or 3 times yesterday. The device is as is out of the box...no root, nothing customised or anything.

If you are experiencing this issue recording to external microSD, try setting it to the internal SD card storage to see if it fixes the issue. If it does, then your microSD card might be dodgy.

ok cool yeah it is recording to external sd card. the card seems to work fine though, it reads and writes fine so maybe it just took time to save the whole file onto it?

I had this problem, too.
I enabled the camera stabilisation and the bug was gone...
Hope this was helpful

Please help! HTC HD2 keeps rebooting (soft reseting) out of it own

I don't know what the heck is going on with my HTC HD2, but the reboots are getting quite annoying.
Furthermore i noticed it happens when i utilize the cpu heavily.
Mostly with streaming video or playing games.
Have done multiple hard resets, rom updates and even custom roms but nothing seems to work.
Sometimes my phone even reboots(soft resets) after watching 5 whole seconds of youtube
So even directly after a hard reset the problem persists.
I'm totally confused right now(because i have tried everything i could do to fix this problem).
I am thinking could it be the battery not giving enough juice for the task? overheating ? or just faulty hardware?
what do you guys think?
because i noticed that the problem is happening more frequently over time.
Edit: it rebooted even in idle a moment ago (1th time) ???
Similar issue with youtube freeze and reset
I can validate your frustration. I am having problems with my HD2 freezing up as well and doing a soft reset on it's own. So the YouTube app opens up the HTC player and then it will play a few seconds and then freeze up. I also opened an MP4 movie file and view it with the HTC player and that also froze it. Last but not least, I have TomTom and that froze it after 15 minutes last night.
I have seen some postings that Tmobile and HTC will be releasing a new rom to fix some memory leaking issues so perhaps that might be it.
It started happening about a week ago for me. Please post any solutions you might find.
I am on:
OS v.5.2.21889
Mania v.2.5.20121412.1
ROM v.2.10.531.1 WWE
Radio v. 2.08.50.08.2
I have done some trail and error, played around with coreplayer and i noticed that when i set the video quality to FLV medium quality in the buildin youtube app in coreplayer i won't reboot that quick anymore, but after a couple of seconds it will eventually still reboot. If i set quality to high quality/high bandwidth i will reboot much faster (so this let's me think about some kind of memory leak/buffer overflow).
Furthermore luckly i don't have any problems with playing mp4 videos in coreplayer, i have tested this especially because of the youtube reboots, and it will keep playing for 1,5 hour without any problems, so maybe you could try coreplayer and see if that's a solution for your mp4 problem ?
But eventually it would be nice if these problems where sorted out so that the device will work like it is supossed to be
Already tried a TASK29 and a flashing a stock ROM from your SD card?
Ye, have tried task 29 (between each roms, i do use task to make sure that the phone is empty.) and when i went back to my 1.72 stock rom i did flash it from SD, but still no luck.
this happened to me today as i was logging onto the net. it did a full master reset.
Same thing happened to me after the unit froze. I pulled the battery, put it back in an it went into this continuous loop of starting up, going through the first couple of screens and then rebooting. What I eventually found to be the problem was that I had inadvertently bent one of the battery pins when I put the battery back in, not much but just enough to where it wasn't making contact. After I carefully straightened it out the issue was gone and it fired up as usual. I love simple fixes, of course this was after I task 29'd and reflashed which didnt correct the problem.

hmm i only got the problem while i'm watching streaming video through 3g and on usb > active sync > pc data connection / some (cpu intensive) games
with wifi no problems at all, it plays youtube for more then a hour without a reboot, and i tested it multiple times to make sure), and booting is just fine without a single hickup

Hey, thank you @thompsd. This was driving me crazy on my phone. I finally took it back to a TMobile store for replacement and they put me on the phone with support before they would issue a replacement. Of course I was bewildered when they had me take out the battery and put it back in (which I had done a zillion times) and the phone suddenly worked. The person on the phone told me that it was fixed because I had to keep the battery out for at least 90 seconds. This made absolutely no sense, but it was hard to argue with success. I walked out of the store with my head hung low in shame.
Tonight, sitting in an airport lounge waiting for a flight, I noticed that my phone was hung so I pulled the battery to reset it. When I put the battery back in and started it, the phone went into the reboot loop -- displaying the boot screen for a couple of seconds and then shutting down and rebooting. I pulled the battery for 90 seconds. 120 seconds, 5 minutes. No joy. Realizing that this solution made absolutely no sense in the first place, I decided to search around again.
I found your reply in this thread and looked at my battery contacts. One of them was bent. I straightened it out, put the battery back in and the phone booted right up. Now I realize that when I was on the phone with TMobile, I must have put the battery back in that one time in such a way that inadvertently straightened the pin.
Hi all,
I have (maybe) the same problem with my HD2 i.e. when it is "doing something", well not idle, it sometimes restarts itself and then usually will not get out of the cycle of crash/reboot untill I remove the battery and wait for a few minutes before starting it again.
This is always more frequent if I am using a serious application such as sat nav. It also has only happened when the unit is connected to power, either on my desk or in the car (different power sources), but disconnecting it from the power after the cycle has started doesn't help.
I have assumed from the symptoms that it is caused by overheating and so leaving it switched off for a period allows it to cool.
I have got a return packet from Vodafone to send it for repair but I am loath to do this as it is likely to take 10 days and I suspect I might either get a recon unit back or "no fault found".
Does anyone think this could be battery related? If so I would buy a 2nd battery and test it.
Cheers, Gordon
I can confirm having the same problem.
Using BattClock (which shows a.o. the battery temperature) I was able to establish that the resets and reset loops happen once the battery temperature exceeds 31-32°C.
Contacted HTC support and received reply that the phone qualifies for repair.
PS. My wife just suggested providing me with a cooler bag, so I can enjoy reset-free phone during summer heatwave...
I had similar behavior, but it was due to the new ROM release (4/28/10). I loaded the official T-Mobile release date ROM (2/19/10) and the problem went away.
L.B.
Yesterday my battery charge got very low and shut the phone down. When I turned the phone back on without charging it kept rebooting time after time. I tried plugging the charger in but that didn't help. I took out the battery and put it back in and that still didn't help. I finally caught it when it was rebooting and pressed volume down and got the phone in bootloader to at least stop the constant rebooting. I left the phone on the charger and after about 1/2 hour I pulled the battery and put it back in and the phone was fine.
I am not wanting this to happen again. Maybe I will go back to an older ROM.
if i have some luck i will receive my phone tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
i will let you know what has been repaired and if this solved the reboot problem.
today i received my phone back from the repair center.
The repair letter says that the display has being changed because it was not functioning anymore? (but when i sent the phone in the display was working like it should).
And the youtube problem is still there
Im having the same problem! i figure it was the battery overheating...or the rom or even probably a not compatible radio.....try to change all of these and is still restarting when ever it tries to connect to any data or internet usage. Ex. youtube, downloading of files from the internet, Remote Desktop even Microsoft My Phone still restarts.
even when i used to make/receive phone calls it would restart as soon as i picked it up to talk. but for this i had a solution witch as of now is working fine with out a problem.
if anybody else has this problem with the Receiving/making calls this should work.
1. Go to: Start/Settings/Connections
2. is the "TASK" tab choose "Manage Existing Connections"
3. In the "Modem Tab" has for options to choose from, normally is on "Auto", this was the problem. you would want to get it OFF AUTO.
4. Try all the other " voice Stream options Shown" and see witch one works for you without giving problems, and save. Im currently using "wap.voicestream.com." witch is the second option after Auto.
Well i hope this works for you guys if ur having similar problems, its actually work for me. GooD luck! hope this helps.

I will keep you informed

[Q] Audio Problem

I have had my G Tablet for a week now and I'm running Vegan Tab 5.1.1 and it's been great! I have had a few bumps with it but it's fine! But I'm having a strange audio problem, sometimes when it's in sleep mood it will just blast a hissing noise like a static picture on TV for like 10 seconds and also sometimes when coming out of sleep mode there's no audio and I have to reboot it. Then it's back. Go figure anyone have the same issue???
Should I get a request for a replacement???
This has been discussed in other threads. It appears to be an issue with some units. I get it sometimes -- I just reboot the tablet. You could request a replacement, but there's no guarantee you'll get one without the issue.
so it seems to be a hardware issue then???
I'm guessing hardware issue... mine seems to happen the most after waking up after I have been playing videos, youtube HD or from the SD card... I'm guessing it's a Tegra 2 issue because both activties require the hardware acceleration... It's really annoying.

Help phone restarts when shooting video

Im using a Canadian Rogers Sony X10 thats not rooted. It has go launcher on it and a few apps but not a whole lot.
Whenever I try to make a video the phone randomly starts. Sometimes it will last a couple minutes and sometimes only 30 seconds. I tried clearing the cache on the camera app and did a full reset a month or so back cause I was having battery issues (which it didnt fix, ended up buying an awesome 3200 battery instead) so I dont know what else to try now. Everything else seems to be fine. Takes pictures fine.
Any suggestions??
Knowing that you cleared its cache and did a factory reset, it might be a hardware problem.
btw, nice 3200mah battery, can i have that? lol just kidding.

It agree. That it to check up, it is necessary reflashe phone with official or any unofficial ROM (necessary to clear all user data)
I was also having the same problem a few days ago.. I rooted my phone and got a little improvements.. Now my phone crash after 5 minutes recording... And if i change my Video resolution from HD to lower then time increases... And mostly it happens when i have battery lower than 55%...

well have did you do a factory reset, or reflashing the official rom? that might help.. and if you have done that and still no changes, it also might be a hardware problem. I think it's time to go to a repair center ^^

too bad i'm too young for online payments/shop/whatever , i heard it's a bit big for the back of the phone. is it true?
No it is not a hardware problem... I am back on android 2.1 and the camera is fine.. recorded video upto 12 minutes without crashing... with full brightness and HD resolution and also flashlight was turned on... I wanted to update to 2.3 for its multitouch capability but now i have got multitouch on 2.1 without issues...

Hello guys, any fix?
I found a way to reproduce this bug very fast:
1.open camera
2.set take pictures by touching the sscreen
3.set sound shutter off
4.take a pictures (8mp)
5.go to video recording
6.set capturing by touching the screen
7.set sound shutter off
8.start recording by touching the screen (720p HD)
9.BAM x10 shutting down after 2 secs
This is incredibly anoying!!! I have not tested this on 2.1 to see if it's OS version related or phone related.
But if you guys found a fix, can you please post it and/or pm me!
I've got the same issue..
Sent the device 2 times to S.E. for service and they didn't fix it.. (no
Although,they told me that it isn't a hardware issue cause they replaced the device's pcb both of 2 times..!
So,what's remaining next for me is to replace the battery,I've ordered a BST-41 (the original one) and I'm waiting for it next week..!
Hope I've helped somehow,will tell you if battery replacement is the solution..!

[Q] Any Z2 owners with overheating issue just taking pictures?

I just picked up Sony Xperia Z2 (D6503) a week ago and I love everything about this phone. However, I am getting overheating issue with my phone. Just today, I was at my niece's birthday party and I took 12 pictures in may be 5 minutes and I get a message about Camera app needing to shutdown to cool down.The area above Sony logo and around NFC logo got really warm. I am aware that shooting 4k video can cause overheating but just shooting regular pictures causing overheat is concerning to me. I have owned Z1 before and it didn't have this problem. I was wondering if anyone else is having this overheat issue with just taking pictures? I shot pictures in Default setting iA mode and pictures saved to Internal Storage. I didn't change any settings.
Yes I also have this issue and three store have refused to replace it, claiming it is a feature

Yes I have it too. I'm enquiring the store I've bought it from to get a replacement.
I was taking a few pictures this afternoon , the phone did get warm but didn't show up any overheating messages.
No overheating taking pictures or shooting 1080p in my case.
I have done more investigation into this. The closing of the camera app doesn’t seem related to CPU temp, it appears to be dependant on Battery temp. I have been able to record 4k video with the CPU at 70, but as soon as the battery temperature gets to 42, the camera force closes.
This is also why the camera will overheat and close for other use. If the battery is already hot, eg after charging or gaming, the camera is more likely to push the battery temp to 42, triggering the force close.

Hmmm...I wasn't playing any games before I took the pictures. Phone was in my pants pocket before I took it out to take pictures. I do notice taking pictures will cause my phone to get warm. I wonder if this "problem" can be fixed with firmware update.
Well, i also got this problem but with SocialLife app video streaming on Facebook. After 8 minutes of video the phone crashed. Strangely, if you play games that make the phone as hot as an oven nothing happens, turn on the camera and boom, force close / sometimes reboot.

Internal memory. Wiped everything,installed stock with Odin - still same.
This happened after 5 months of using AOSP. I went back to sstock and the problems started.
