For the past couple days the screen hasn't been rotating when turned on its side. Any ideas what's causing this?
Usually a simple reboot will fix this, a few people have had this issue.
It might crop up again from time to time... happened to me once one and I have had the phone since it came out on ATT...

Yeah rebooted, no work. Tried rebooting after turning off auto rotate then turned it back on and it didn't work. Just noticed for some apps it works, others not, so guess it's a bug in the SW. :-(
Hi,
I recently installed the Bionix ROM on my Samsung Infuse.
On a couple of occasions, I've seen the drunken clam screen appear while the phone was on. It happened this morning and I thought phone encountered a problem and rebooted. But I checked the uptime it said the phone has been up for over 200 hours.
A few minutes later, I got my desktop back.
Is this normal?
Sorry if I missed something really obvious but I did try searching for this topic.
Thanks.

It sounds like a soft boot...my understanding is that your home desktop gets pushed out of memory and restarts.... but I could be way off
someone a little more experienced can run you through the steps to run a command that will generate a report pointing to what caused it
Well, what the title says. It's becoming extremely annoying. Any suggestions?
what rom are you on?
I was on stock UCLA3, but when this problem occured I completely went back to stock. Still exists.
have you tried to do a 3e recovery factory restore?
I don't know what to do, honestly. I'm open to any suggestions! I'll look that up, thanks in advance.
Flash a custom rom with good kernel!
Well, I returned the phone to its original state. Exactly how I bought it.. The problem still exists. I don't think this is a kernel/rom issue.
What does ATT look at when they do exchanges? My counter says 2, is that a bad thing? Or can I just say I was trying to restore it because it kept shutting off and I didn't exactly know what I was doing? It has to be something with the hardware.

Yeah thats a bad thing, but they probably wont say anything. Don't mention anything about the counter
I started having the exact same issue this last weekend, took my phone into At&t warranty center, they replaced the battery and did a reflash back to factory rom. Still had the issue after that. The problem didn't start till after I took it out of my otter box and started taking the back off to pull the battery for rooting and flashing roms. Since i have put the phone back in the otter box case I have not had it restart on my yet. I am thinking it is a loose back cover and the battery is being knocked loose and then back in place hence the restarts. Just some of my observations from my own experiances with this same problem.
Ironically, mine has never happened until I took it out of the Otterbox Commuter case.
luckily i haven't had this issue, and i have removed it like 8-10 times before learning I didn't have to...
I took my phone to the att store so they could look at it.. I explained what was going on and the guy told me he was going to check the counter.. BUT he never did. He ordered me a new battery, and if that does not work they will send me a new phone. However, i'm going to get the new phone anyway.
Reboot issues and battery
Ok, same problem here, ICS leaked 4.0.3, Samsung Galaxy S2 skyrocket. Thought it was setcpu and/or busy box, not.. I notice that when I moved my phone in an odd manner it would reboot. Removed the battery cover and noted that there was play in where the battery sat, so much so that I was able to stick my finger nail into the separation, I don't know call it a half a cm. Any way, I took some note book paper, made a wedge so the battery was nice and tight... so far so good. Will let you know.
I'm not sure if this will be any help or not. My phone has done the same thing a couple of times and at least twice I've noticed that it was because I had the phone in my pocket and I was accidentally holding down the power button when I was bending over/squatting/etc. As for the other times it has restart on its own, I have no idea. It's been at least a month since those happened though.
Hey guys. My wife's s6 just did something really weird and I have no idea how to fix it. Her screen seems to be glitched or messed up. I don't know how to describe it. When ever I turn the phone on the screen turns on for 2 secs but all the words and images are all over the screen and then the scree shuts off but the applications are still usable. I tried doing a restart but didn't work and I then tried upgrading it but also didn't work. I tried to kinda mess with the brightness but still nothing. We just got this phone like 3 weeks ago and it was working fine up to 20 mins ago. She hasn't dropped it or done any water damage. Can anyone please help me to see what is going on with this phone.
I cant provide photos because i am new user. If anyone know how i can get around this without posting 10 times let me know so i can show you the screen of my wifes phone. I posted a similar help post on android central with pictures if you need to see the screen.
You can try a full reset 1st. If it still persists then its most likely a factory defect. Return your S6 back to Samsung for warranty replacement.

Hi, Please try the following,
1. Open the dialer and hit *#0*#
2. There will be different color options like red/green/blue. select each one by one and check whether the issue comes up somehow.
3. Then try using the phone in safe mode/factory reset.
If the issue still persists, then it is likely to be a hardware issue and please get it checked with samsung as soon as possible. :good:
Hello guys. I had a strange issue with my wife's phone today... and I wanted to know y'all opinion about it before spending money in a new screen.
First of all, we never did any bootloader-unlocking or rooting on it before.
She was returning home with the phone in her backpack (empty, so the phone was not hit or anything). And when she arrived she took the phone and it began to hang and get freeze. Then it restarted itself, and entered in a bootloop. It stayed that way for an hour until finally I got to turn it on. But the touchscreen didnt work anymore (the screen looks perfectly and it has NO scratch, I swear...)
So I tried a factory reset, but the touch still didn't work.
So, what do you guys think? Could be something like software/drivers problem? Did you know any similar issue ever?
I think its very weird, cause before it worked perfectly. And it matches too much with the almost-brick moment...
