Hi
I was running on Omega v38 past few days, and my phone was running great.
Few days back my phone got totally stuck once, but a reboot fixed it.
Today I upgraded to Omega 40, and my phone started to freeze every few mins.
So I megawiped, and reinstalled it.
My phone got frozen in the set up screen itself.
Megawiped and installed Foxhound.it ran great for few minutes and gets frozen every 5-10 mins.
So I mega wiped and reinstalled Omega 38.
Same problem. Even during searching for Titanium backup, the phone got frozen.
By frozen, I mean the screen won't respond or turn off.
Only a reset would solve the issue.
I've also noticed that the phone is getting too hot during it.
Any fix?
Could it be an indication to SDN issue?
that's really strange have you wiped system during the "megawipe")) ?
i guess the only solution is to return to stock via odin and than flash again

Flashed Stock Rom
Still the problem persists.

Having the same problem over here, tried numerous roms (OMEGA v37-v40, CM10.1, Resurrection) no luck at all. Phone keeps randomly freezing. So I decided to go back to stock and unroot (for warranty reasons). Without any problems I unrooted my device, and installed a stock JB rom from my country (Netherlands). Traingle away, worked like a charm, but still, when installing apps and settings, I got random freezes, even on stock (official rom). As you said as well, screen would not respond, no hardware keys either. So decided to return it for warranty, and get a new phone/repaired hardware. Woke up, phone still running (very surprised), used it throughout the day, only a random reboot in the late evening and a single freeze. I really don't get how this bug/hardware problem works... Going to see what happens next couple of days, before returning for warranty... I also tried other tricks, such as in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37432509 not sure if it helped, but it sure looks that way. I also check if my EMMC was insane (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1993044&page=388) And it is, not sure however if this is related, because the sudden death problems mention not booting at all.
Good luck, keep us posted on your progress.

My SGS3 works just fine for 2 weeks, until now.
Suddenly, it keeps randomly crashing and reboot into samsung s3 logo screen.
Oh, I have tried different roms (and stock rom also) but the crash still happen.
I also have tried wiping cache, dalvik, clean install, removing external sdcard, and restore factory setting. But none was effective.
Any ideas?
I had a similar issue with my Atrix and it turned out to be the SIM Card. Had it replaced and no more random reboots. I figured this out by checking the panic dumps...maybe there is a similar way to check this on the SGS3

Thanks for the response.. I tried it just a moment ago without sim card, and it still got the random reboot..
Any other people who got the same problem?
Is the phone unusually warm? The phone will automatically reboot if it overheats, but that wouldn't normally happen unless it's been left in the sun or overclocked.
I can get mine to go into a reboot loop if I play Asphalt 6 while outdoors, but the problem goes away as soon as I let it cool off for a minute or two.

Sorry to hear that man. Had a SGS with same issues. maybe Samsung has hurried releasing galaxy S3
I'd factory reset and only put on the important apps you use. Depending how long it takes for you to normally get a reboot you can slowly add new apps back to narrow it down. I had the same problem last year and thought I had a bad sgs2. But it turned out to be dolphin hd browser at the time that caused it and haven't had a reboot in a year. It could be something similar in your case. Hopefully its software related and not hardware

i just tried flashing normal ROM, after booting to "get started" page, approximately 3~10 seconds, my sgs just rebooted over and over again, until it show only black screen with battery icon on it (i think it may be charging animation while the phone is turned off).
ahhhh this is driving me insane!!
update : i just flashed hypergalaxy ROM and currently it is stable and not experienced crashing (yet ).
i'll give further report later today

Have you tried reinstalling FW with Odin? If yes does it still reboot after a factory reset with nothing installed?
yes, i have tried flashing stock rom using odin a few hours ago, but the crashing still happen.
my sgs3 now stuck at boot-standby5sec-crash-reboot loop.
so, i decided to bring my sgs3 to samsung service center tomorrow. hope they will replace it with a new unit
UPDATE : Samsung replaced my new SGS3 with a new hardware (not sure new device though, the flash counter reset to zero )
the problem seems to be hardware related
thanks for all your reply to my problem

I am having the same issue, I've had my phone since Saturday (6/23/12) and it crashes, reboots, apps crash, internet crashes, email crashes, etc. I can udnerstand a lot of apps may not be updated to ICS.. but no matter what I do.. everything crashes.. It's a bit ridiculous. I am a prior iPhone 4S user and am probably going to return this phone. I can't do much without it crashing or the screen freezing.. not being able to do anything for 2-3 minutes, etc. And they couldn't port any of my numbers from my prior phone because they didn't have the software update to do so yet. So overall, bad experience with the Galaxy.. and maybe I should have waited longer before buying this phone to work all the problems.

I'm very sorry that u have these problems.but there will always manufacturing faults when making so many units.only one thing to do,return it and get a replacement.when u get a fully functional galaxy u won't regreat it,it's a awesome phone.Samsung usually replaces the phone,so I think they will do the same in your case.anyway best of luck
After all the problem I've been through, finally I send my phone back to samsung service center.. they tried to reinstall stock rom several times, and in the end, they change the IC board to a new one.. and it does solve my probs..
SGS3 tebooting
Hi guys here is a peace of my experience
Bought the phone last year in November .2 weeks everything fine then it starts rebooting itself.retun it to the mobile provider and get it back in 3 weeks with conclusion that they experience the reboots as well and that the phone had some kind of software issue.in 3 hours i was back in the shop with my phone rebooting again.they send it again to service got it back yesterday with 4.1.1 android and they sad it may be caused with wrong customizing or not supported sd card,turned on the phone and had few reboots manage to update to 4.1.2 and today heavy gaming internet etc and no reboots so far.will test it till wendsday and see what happens.if it will reboots again then its going back to service and this time it is the 3 time so i will get a new phone.
Hi,
I seem to be having a problem with random freezing/reboots/turn off.
A couple of weeks ago i have my motherboard replaced as i had SDS. I got the phone back, rooted and flashed UltimaROM with Siyah 1.8.9 kernel. After a few days my phone started turning off after a while on charge. Sometimes it randomly reboots or turns off when not on charge.
I charged it last night and so far today i've had 5 reboots.
Is there any log i can look at to see whats causing the crash so i know where to start on trying to fix this?
At first i thought it was the SD card, but i have since taken it out and all was fine for a few days, now the problem is back.
I have not tried going back to stock yet as i've read other posts which say it happens on that too. Nobody seems to have found a solution yet. Some have had luck with getting samsung to replace hardware, but as mine has just come back from a service centre (a couple weeks ago) i'd rather not be without a phone for another 10 days if i can help of it.
What would be logical next steps? Try different kernel? try stock ROM?
Any help would be great.
Thanks
Wipe / format phone flash stock rom .Test .

I installed jellybam 7.4 the day it was released and since then I had an issue where the phone would regularly freeze with the only way of fixing it to restart the phone (holding in the power button).
I had originally just upgraded without wiping the phone, so figured last night I'd do a complete wipe (zoots megawipe) and start again. However today I am still getting the same freezes (in fact twice in the last 10 mins!).
Any ideas what might be causing this? Is there any diagnosis app that i can run to see what's causing the freezing?
I wiped again today and installed 7.5 and still the same issue.
Thanks in advance!
I'm having the sort of the problem so I thought I could borrow this thread since our problems seems to be similar.
Can boot the device without any problems, but it freezes randomly.
Tried:
* Different roms (want to use Slim Bean and are currently using it)
* Full wipe / Factory reset
* Wipe cache / Dalvik cache
* Not allowing Android to restore my apps after factory reset (in case some app was causing this)
* Tried latest Perseus kernel (but got a bootloop so reflashed everything)

Very bad Samsung After Sale Services
I'm very unhappy with Samsung
I got the same problem. Cannot use it because the screen freezes all the time so I need to unplug the battery for restart each time.
Then I decided to sent my phone to Samsung repair services. After 2 weeks, they sent it back to me.
Back to home, I turned on my phone and made a reset for the first installation but when I tried to connect into my google account, the screen has been frozen once again !!!. Then after and after ...
So the screen touch issue has not been solved even if my phone just came back from Samsung repair services. !
According to the repair document, they has just reinstalled the firmware but did not take care of the hardware.
So if this problem is well known why Samsung did not take care of this problem correctly ?
Now, They keep my phone for more than 4 weeks and did not give me a decent replacement phone with 3G at least.
For those who has got this problem, I recommand you to write clearly the problem with a letter joined to your request for the repair services before you send your phone.
Thanks.

Thanks for your answer
Really hope this is the cause and fix for our collective problems.
Update:
After doing what I was told to do in that post the freezing was significaly lower. They still occur but not as much, from 40 times yesterday to 1 today so far.
Unfortunately I came across that thread a couple days ago, have tried the DFG method lots of times and I still get freezes. Now arguably they aren't now as frequent, but I've had days where it doesn't freeze at all, so that may just be luck.
Possibly stupid question... Are you able to flash a new firmware whilst keeping your custom ROM?
My note started doing this after it went through airport security. It was in a bag and went through the x-ray machine. It randomly reboots very often, probably between 20-60 second intervals. I was on CM10, then I flashed back to stock ICS, and then finally up to the official JB update. None of which has solved this problem.
i posted in here.. this may help.

Phone is stuck in a boot loop and this is what I know so far. Phone is on stock ROM, power button is working fine, I can get to recovery and OS and download mode, and while phone was charging I took the battery out and the phone keeps vibrating. I now know it's a hardware problem for me (I think), but I can not pin point where. Any advise would be helpful cause I really love my note and this is just breaking my heart.:crying:
LG-P760 stock Android 4.1.2
Only basic apps, FB, gmail etc.
1. Factory/hard reset
2. Works around 3-4 days perfectly, then starts to crash.
By crash I mean black screen, nothing helps, only battery pull.
3. After first crash, starts crashing more frequently. Happens only in standby.
Worst was today: If I start phone, log in, then it wont crash before I put it in standby. First time in standby, within 30 second, it had crashed.
twice crashed when someone tried to call me. Vibrated once, then crashed.
I would like to avoid replacing my phone.
Any ideas how to find the source of this problem? Any recommendations?

I had the same problem with Vietnam Rom and it was the baseband. I changed to the baseband from ICS from a Rom of my country so I have Vietnam Rom+Original ICS baseband and everything works well.
Thanks.
Although, I understand it mostly is problem when you have unlocked bootloader.
I am running stock everything.
And they have problem with rebooting phone, mine crashes and freezes.
Weird is that it starts around third day of normal use.
I think I have to take on a quest with a warranty. Does anyone know, can I contact LG straight without the provider, where I bought the phone?

I haven't unlocked it. The problem was the same: SOD sleep of death, when the screen goes off you can't do anything but pull the battery.
But if you can use the warranty use it. You should find the warranty info in the box to know where send it in your city.

Thanks. I will search into it. Sleep of death is new expression for me.
I only have phone, it came from relatives who threw away receipt + box.
Luckily I managed to get new receipt from provider yesterday (I dont think they usually give out receipts twice), so now I can use local warranty.
Thanks everyone for replying. I will post update when I have final solution.
Since you are stock you might want to consider flashing the kdz to see if that helps. Good luck!

I'm having the exact same issue with mine. I've heard everything from "try a different SD card" to "factory reset," and nothing seems to permanently fix the issue. What I've found kind of sort of works is just reboot it a whole bunch until it finally comes up and doesn't do it any more. From there, I'm good to go until the battery runs out or I need to reboot it because all the bloatware is causing it to glitch. This usually means that I have to reboot my device 10+ times in a row every few days. Hopefully, you found a more viable fix than this.

Hi
I managed to kind of solve this issue. Because I am not sure how, I haven't closed thread yet.
Anyway, I warranted device, they re-installed soft. Came back, same thing. After around weeks use, SOD. Factory reset. After that, things went interesting.
I tried not to leave it idle. Always had something running. I also had noticed by the time it never occurred when it was plugged in or music was playing.
One day it did it again, but I was in a hurry and just disregarded it. I did something(I was busy, maybe just plugged it in automatically?) and it came back up. It took like 10 sec for screen to start, but it did just wake up. And it haven't had crash ever since. I have no idea is this solution or is this just some coincidence and I am not keen to factory reset again, to see will it reoccur. It's my only phone
TLDR: Managed to get out of sleep of death, haven't reoccurred since.
