Hello.
Noob.
Totally
Running this ROM, but often I get crashes. The phone will restart itself. Can't point at specific times. Totally random.
Any suggestion?
And while we're at it, is there a better ROM by now for this phone? I havn't check this issue since I first bought this phone ):
THANKS for your patience

Hey guys,
I tried looking for this issue but I can't seem to find it, I doubt I'm not the only one (I hope I'm not the only one...)
I've been flashing roms for a while now, fiddling with different settings/kernels/etc. and then all of a sudden I'm having issues with my Softkeys. I'll be using the phone and then they just go blank. What also happens is that the Search key gets held down (by a ghost, it seems) and it opens up the voice search option. I've also seen my Back button flicker as if it's being pressed repeatedly.
Right now I'm on CodeName Android 1.4 but I've tried 1.6, CM9 and it seems to be the same issue. I'm assuming that since this is consistant accross all ROMs that it's a hardware issue (I could be wrong) but I'm wondering if this has happened before and if there's a way to fix it.
Thanks gents
Hi friend,
The same happened to me once. It was very weird. I panicked, and locked the phone. Then when I unlocked it everything was as before. It must be some kind of a glitch, coming from CM9 built roms (almost all roms that are around). Try doing a totally clean install with a popular rom and see how it goes.
Now I remember that the same happened once again, when I got a drop of water on my screen, as the touchscreen seems to detect water as a form of touching and then all sort of weird things happened. Hope its a rom issue, not a Touchscreen failure.
Thanks man,
I'm really hoping it's not a hardware issue either as I'm not sure what the process is in terms of sending my phone in for repairs.
I'll try a clean wipe and install tonight and see how it goes.
Thanks again
Update: Alright so I ended up calling Samsung because I had come to the conclusion that it was a hardware issue because every ROM I flashed I had the same damn issue.
I got the ok to send in my phone and all that, I went to return my phone to Stock and when I installed the OEM operating system everything was okay... I seriously doubt that every ROM I downloaded was bugged.
I'm thinking it's just a general glitch or is it possible that 1 ROM I downloaded was bugged and everyone after that inherited the same problem? I don't know...
Hey everyone! First post on the xda forums. I apologize if someone has already covered this issue but I havent been able to find anything about it. I've been rooting phones for a little over a year now, started with my good old LG Optimus T, and most of the time everything went perfect unless a ROM gave me fits. Now I'm onto the LG G2x and I love the phone but I'm having issues with CWM and running ROMS. The biggest issue is that when I boot into Clockwork Recovery, my phone sometimes restarts once the backlight times out, which is really odd and super annoying when I'm trying to install a ROM or do anything else. Everything is usually fine if I just keep touching the screen while its doing anything because I'm keeping the backlight active. I feel as if I installed recovery wrong. I first installed it using the CWM app which seems like a no-no, and since then have installed it with NvFlash, which hasn't changed anything. Can anybody maybe explain why this is happening? I'm also having issues getting any ROM to be reliable, every one I've tried will maybe work for a little bit, but after a while will just get into a loop of starting up, working for a bit then my phone restarting and its just the same loop over and over again. I'm wondering if that can be attributed to CWM. Anyways, sorry for the long post. Can anybody help me? Thanks
Hello XDA! Even though I love technology, I tend to tread lightly when diving into outside-the-box programming topics. That being said, I recently decided to dip into the rooting pool and I've enjoyed the experience so far. I rooted my S3 (SCH-I535) and added the MOAR rom on July 4th, and everything ran smooth for the first week. Recently, I'm running into an issue where the phone freezes on the lock screen and then goes into a soft reset. It's happened a couple times a day for the last three days or so but once it boots back up it seems to work okay for a while. I've also noticed that the phone turns the screen back on when I hit the power button, repeats about three times before stopping. Is this problem related to the root and rom process at all? I've had the lock screen problem briefly when I had my Droid 2 Global, not sure what happened to fix that (if it fixed at all...). I would ask the MOAR rom forum, but I'm a noob (not sure if it's rom related either). Any help would be appreciated!
p.s. will be loading the new version of MOAR later tonight, maybe that will help?

Try disabling the ripple effect in your lockscreen settings. That is a known issue with any lockscreen other than the stock one.
Seriously a new version of MOAR? Dang it seems like every time I downloaded the new version they're putting up a new one. Which isn't a bad thing but still. Did they say this on the thread?

What kernel are you using?

Where can I find the kernel information?
So with a couple tests, I found that the phone tends to soft reset twice if I enter the wrong swipe password, not sure why it has to freak out like that but it's annoying. That's the only time it's been resetting now. The other issue, screen turning back on after I turn it off with the power button, is still persisting but isn't happening in any discernable pattern.
Okay so I found the kernel information, it says
"3.0.31-1152558

People in the MOAR forum (Verizon S3) have had problems on the reboots with the Blackberry lockscreen, but I'm on Rotary so that doesn't help.
I have no idea what happened to my phone. I was running the new Adrenaline rom for a week or so and it was working perfectly, but a few days ago my phone lost service and kept restarting over and over again. I tried to flash a new rom, but it still did the same thing. I even did the newest RUU and it worked perfectly, but my phone still is not able to recognize my sim card and also restarts randomly. It will stop restarting for a while, but then it will do it repeatedly until I shut it down. I have no idea how to fix it, so if you could help I would really appreciate it!! If I left out anything you would need to know, let me know!
Thanks!!
