[Q][HELP][ASAP] Multiple Random Reboots.. PLEASE HELP. - Samsung Galaxy SL i9003

Just like the title, i have been experiencing some random rebooting in the past 9 days... at first i thought that i somehow held the on/off button inside my pocket and rebooted itself. my theory changed when i was charging it on that same night... i knew something was wrong few days after it would reboot itself from time to time.
also sometimes after rebooting (mostly when it is charging..) wifi connections start to goof off. i checked the wifi setting and it would say "error" under the "turn on/off wifi" area where you usually see the "connected/connecting/disconnected" letters, along with that some apps start to force close mostly the ones that needs the net get fc's.....
only yesterday it got worse. on the morning it had started to reboot. when i unlocked the lockscreen some apps started to FC. i usually get fc's in booting are the juice plotter, Google partner setup, and something with "wifi". now i manually rebooted it myself when it boots, it still shows those fc's. if it tried pressing some apps it tried to fc as well. manual reboot again, now messages fc's along with the three....
so i went to recovery and restored my safest backup. after restoring no more fc's in my boot. i thought it was all fine now but after a while it would randomly reboot!!!!
Styles of random reboots ive gotten:
1. on screen-off while charging after a while BOOM! reboot.
2. on screen-off not charging, after a while BOOM! reboot.
3. pressing the on/off button on the side when it was on screen-off, BOOM! reboot.
4. pressing the on/off button on the side when it was on screen-off, shows the lockscreen, shows "SD card unexpectedly removed" on status bar, BOOM! reboot.
*it wont reboot when you're using it unless it goes to screen-off for a while (like when using music player... when it goes to screen-off for a while it would reboot...)
--- i will add more of the reboots styles if i remember the others.---
i really need help. i cannot reflash to stock because my laptop got stolen since February. i would be receiving my new laptop in five days.... but i am worried that something worse would happen before even getting my laptop in five days.

but for the mean while wipe everything and then deodex again it might help u .
after wipe all and formatting deodex it again
bcz sometime app FC and for that deodex again is necessary

Yes I know . The latest uc kernel is v10. But my laptop was stolen since the first week of february. That time the best kernel suited for poseidon rom was the v6. So till now I am stuck with v16 since the time my laptop was gone until I get my new on in 4 days at least...

Sorry, I didnt see your post earlier. But I am wiping every thing now while im replying you. I will tell you the results when it is finished.
Edit: phone seems to work normally. But some apps get fc's... But i think i know why. Its because i forgot to move back apps which were moved to the sd card back to phone memory.(using app2sd).. I know so because i remember having 7 apps moved to sd which had taken alot of space due to its size.
Anyway, thanks bro! I guess i owe you my phone but i will still be monitoring the phone and see if it'll reboot randomly again... Till i get my laptop ill reflash my phone. Again, thanks alot sandeep!and good luck with your exams again!
RE-EDIT: it not kinda fixed yet... When i woke up and checked my phone it seemed to be normal but when i opened the lockscreen fc's starts flooding me... About 6 or 7 fc's they are google goggles, superuser,titanium backup, google play music, google setup sumthing (it was in the first post..) Emai and.messages... I also get fc on yahoo mail but it doesnt fc the same time as the others. I tries uninstalling rthem and other apps as well but some time while i uninstall it starts to freeze and reboot... But the reboot is different. I doesnt reboot the "samsung galaxy s 19003 " thing. Justs stars from the glowing samsing logo. When it boots, the uninstalled apps seems to come back. So i thought of removing mg sd card and then restart... Fc's lessened to superuser, email tbackup and email. And i can uninstall now without it rebooting. Now i know ext sd cards are somewhat along with the problem. My phones antivirus does not see any viruses in it tho.
... Oh im using my SE W8.. Kinda small, hard to type...

it sounds like a kernel problem to me just update your kernel if you cant because you dont have a laptop just use mobile odin

Hmm.. I also thought if it could be the kernel as well. I researched last night on my arc and some say that it is the kernel that was doing this.i am downloading the kernel and odin on my new xperia arc as im making this post. Thanks.

Sounds like a hardware problem forme. I have this problem 4 months ago. I have random reboots. I have tried everything from flashing new roms and kernels and nothing seems to fix it. Have you tried clean flashing(xxkpe-xxkpq)? If that still doesnt work then you really have a hardware problem. The only thing you can do is to send it back to samsung service center for repair or replacement(I just hope you are still in warranty period)

Like i said i dont have a laptop yet to reflash phone to stock and check. If it'll not work, im pretty sure they'll change the motherboard.. My warranty expires on july so there is still time. pretty sure my dad will get pissed and buy an s2 instead. This phone already went to the service center twice. And the service center is far from where i live. Though i am enjoying improving the capabilities of this phone :\
Anyway what i did now was flashed uc kernel v10 via odin mobile (thanks mR_ ). Then i wiped everyting again. So far there was no fc's yet and one reboot only when i was installing dolphin browser... And thats it. Nothing else suspicious happened yet.

This problem has happened to my bro before. I helped him change his rom to clean kpu and it was fixed.

Looks like the infamous pseudo reset bug again! Well looks like it with some symptoms missing, the i9003 had a faulty board with faulty internal memory card, so when it goes to sleep the int card sometimes doesn't wake up again. I faced this problem personally myself, no amount of flashing can help you (though i suspect excessive flashing might have caused/triggered it, dunno) so make sammy change the board on this bad boy, hey! you might get 16gb inbuilt memory as a bonus!

hmm... i hope not. also i dont really flash anything unless updates are available on the ics theme. well now that you mentioned it, while i was at the beach like last week, i put my phone on my pocket without screening of (which i always and should do..) and then when i checked back the all my messages and files in the internal sd card were gone.... though the apps are still there and were still on go launcher ex home..... i hope it was just am accidental reset. i want to bring it to the service center im going to get my laptop in at least 2 days! and i want to spend my summer with both of them.
anyway. is wifi working well on poseidon rom with the uc kernel v10? thats the only problem here. my wifi keeps going on and off. crashing the apps that needs wifi whenever i press it. its the same problem with amit cf root kernel when you use poseidon.

issue with 2.3.4.. anyone?

hi.. i switched from cm7 to 2.3.4 2 weeks ago..
i've got this problem which i never encounter in previous version of gingerbread and cm7..
if i lock my screen, sometimes it cannot wake up no matter what i press. It happens randomly.
-1st i thought it's because i set my setCPU processor too low when screen is off (200/200), then i increase to 400/400 which i always use.. it stopped for a day or 2.. then it happens again..
-2nd i thought it might be the ROM issue, so i try another ROM.. 1st ROM is rAv, then nexbreed, then infinity (i wipe all cache, dalvik, and data).. all i have the same issue..
-3rd desperately, i thought it might be because of launcherpro, b'coz it always happen after i install launcherpro.. i uninstall launcher pro, use stock launcher, and re-wipe everything just in case... it happens again..
now i'm on my last effort, suspecting netarchy kernel is the issue (why i never suspect it before, duh.......), because they always in testing mode.. i'm gonna try original infinity ROM kernel (jamebond)...
just want to know, anyone having this issue ?
edit : the only way is to remove battery and reboot.. >"<
A good start would have been to revert everything back to stock and test for a time to make sure it is not a hardware issue.

it's definitely not an hardware issue.. after it happens, i revert back to my CM 7.0.2 and i never get any of those for 3-4 days.. then i try my luck to 2.3.4.. no matter what ROM i tried, it happens...

[Q] Why does my screen come on by itself?

The lockscreen whether its charging or not comes on by itself at random times and sometimes several times in a row. When its not charging, it obivously kills my battery. I thought it might be related to the rom im using, but i have tried several different roms and they all do the same thing. Another thing is my speakerphone will come on by itself when i answer a call. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
any ideas?

Sounds like something is set to turn the screen on. Do you have any custom messaging apps? What rom are you running? any mods? please provide as much info about your phone as you can to help find the issue

Right now i am running Android Revolution. When i first got the phone it had the Ingersoll Rom installed and i don't remember it doing it then, but since then i have tried, coredroid, rcmix3d, virtuous, honeysense, leedroid and they all do it. I have both "s" off. No i did have chompsms installed a while back, but have done several data wipes since then. No other mods. It is eating the hell out of my battery by doing this and i am starting to regret trading my iphone for it.

I would flash a sock rom and see if it does it. might be a phantom file that is not getting over written. If it doesnt do it then then reload the rom. are you restoring any system data or apps?

Sorry to hear ur issues. I can understand ur frustration but don't leave a general remark like this, cos what u r experiencing could be a stray issue due to some random app.
Anyways, coming to ur issue, try this once:
1. Format ur SD card
2. Copy the Android Revolution 5.1.10 (I am saying this ROM cos I've been using this since 5.1.7 and its been good all along)
3. Go to CWM console
4. Do the factory wipe option (data/cache wipe)
5. Go to advanced and wipe the dalvik cache
6. Flash the ROM
7. Reboot
Do NOT restore any apps or data using TiBu.
Let me know how it goes. (I am subscribing to this thread )
Edit:
1. I had the speaker phone turning on issue on a couple ROMs, but didn't face it in Ginger Beast and this ROM.
2. Reg. car panel, I heard this issue on here many times on different ROMs. U cud simply freeze the app or delete it altogether if u r not using it. And like Zel said, this could be cos the charger u r using has current coming through that's around the same range as that of car charger.

Is it possible the sdcard is bad? I am about to format and reinstall android revolution right now. Ill post the results.
OK, flashed Android Revolution. The speakerphone still comes on automatically. Will keep an eye on the screen to see what it does. I have not any installed any mod, or apps yet. Totally clean install.
OK, it didnt do it as often, but the screen still came on. I'm not 100% sure, but i think it came on as data was being used? i noticed the data arrows moving. Formatting and flashing coredroid now and testing.
1. Did u restore any apps?
2. Do u have any of ur apps on SD card?
nope and nope

This is strange... Hearing for the first time. Could u pls post this on the Android Revolution thread and see if anyone else faced this issue. As far as I can recall, I don't remember seeing any such thing on that thread.
Edit: You could try re-downloading the ROM zip. Sometimes zips can be corrupt too.
This time when u try, please backup ur data on SD card, and format it fresh, and load only the rom zip on it.

Do a factory reset and clear cache. If this doesnot solve the problem flash xxkpe twice and then flash any other 2.3.6 firmware xxkpq or ddkp2
Next time ask your questions in general q and a thread
got new galaxy i9003 on replacement.....
ddkp2/ext4/cwm 5
now factory reset giving error:
E: format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/stl10
heeeeeeelppppppppppp
Don't panic like a child. Anyway simply flash xxkpe first & then xxkpq rom. It will 100% solve ur problem.
FROM NEXT TIME POST UR PROBLEMS IN GENERAL SECTION.
I already did that and waiting for the results,
Its not a matter of panic I was going to sell the device today and what a luck!
Thanks.
Same thing happened to me. I thing internal memory is broken. Tried anything but it gets worse everyday. Try to see if you notice any message before it restarts itself. Mine had some notification like 'internal memory corrupted' or something like that. I flashed an official rom and took it to a samsung service center but havent heard anything in 25 days. They told me i have to wait for a month :'(

No man, I took your advice and didn't panic, after spending FIVE years as a mobile software developer and technical support I wont make it go the the service center!, I'll try to fix it for couple days since its already a holiday then if its not fixed i'll burn it because its very cold right here
As u wish buddy. But my personal opinion is go to service center if it is within warranty.

Its not under warranty, I bought it from another country, the local dealer barely accepts local-sold phones
On XXKPQ there was no hard-reset but still randomly rebooting? I think its a hardware memory problem,Thanks all.
A lot of us have been facing this problem recently (including me) and that too all of a sudden! If you're right then it may have something to do with faulty internal memory or something. Quite unusual as the phone works perfectly fine during usage and all months prior! Guess all the flashing is to be blamed!
Guys,
The problem is almost solved with me, when I'm sure about that I'll create a thread for that,
Thanks for all who participated in this issue, and specially for CollieDawg for his nice scenarios

Do share what your solution is, there are many including me waiting to know!
Facing the same problem
Tried flashing GalaxySL_I9003DDKP2_INU from androidadvices.com.
Seeing that the phone keeps restarting itself and then all contacts, messages, etc, etc. gets lost.
My phone is still under warranty.
I think I should just go and give it to the service center. But if you find a solution, please do let me know. Will be very thankful.

I was planning to share when im sure, I have just installed TWLauncher4.5 and no restarts happened,
The problem is of two parts:
1. Random restarts.
2. Restart with data erase.
The launcher solved the first problem for one day till now, but the the second problem wasn't happening to me on XXKPQ,
I'll confirm soon.
Here is the link for the TWLauncher4.5
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061883
UPDATE:
I was getting hard reset on Arabic JPKPE 2.3.6,
NOW:
Im on DeOdexed XXKPQ with UC kernel V07 with OC, flashed twice after XXKPE, no hard-reset but only random restarts.
The TWLauncher didnt solve the random restarts it only solved hard reset with me.
TWLauncher did not stop the problem
Hi,
I tried installing the TW Launcher 4.5 as you had told. But I am still getting the problem of restarting. Any other fix u tired?

Post the issues found in the Android 4.0.4 (ICS)....

Its real nice to have ICS finally for Galaxy R, But we have found some issues.
List of Issues:
1. MMC_CAP_ERASE is enabled by default (eMMC brick bug).
2. Only Tegra optimized Games are working fine, Other Games are lagging a lot (eg: Temple Run).
3. Pinch to zoom in gallery is lagging.
Hold and drag simply doesn't work. First I thought it was a bug in the TW-launcher, but tried with Apex and the same issue is present. I'm trying to solve this with my kernel.

Isn't that related to android framework only? How can it be related to the kernel?

Yes its RAM usage causes bit more battery drain. But jus wan to iterate the importance of Factory reset for ICS update. Without a Factory reset, the upgrade may FC of some of apps. Apart it wil cause a lot of battery drain too. So always do a factory reset before this upgrade from GB to ICS (It will clear the older battery stats file). Also, at the initial stages, there will be some battery issues as the system will be building the battery stats file. With few days, the battery will be back to normal.
When pushing the screen 2 seconds in xda app (just to reply or say thanks) the screen gets black and unresponsive.
And my baseband is I9103NELA1,is it ok?

I tried with my kernel that I created approx. a week ago for JB. It doesn't work (as I expected) because of the framebuffer changes. This is just a beta build and Sam releases src's after official release so we've to wait.

NELA1 is the baseband that came with austrian XWLA4. According to Machram's post it should be XXLQ3. That's because you just restored a nandroid backup and not did a regular installation process which is required to change modem (basedand/radio). (you can flash the modem via cwm or Odin separately) Restoring backups doesn't affect modem, bootloader (this can be crucial sometimes) .. not sure about sales code.
I'm happy to share that I encountered the first SOD. That could be because of too much of install uninstallation while charging. Yes, it is eating RAM but battery backup is good as gb.

man from morning i had thrice but its because of high usage i think , i am trying all the apps and thing which i am seeing on XDA.....
Okay, so I noticed that if you enable the motion feature (Samsung's one), then drag&drop works. It's very smooth with TW UX!!! (Will post a CWM-flashable zip in some moments)

How to restore baseband only buddy..
Sent from my GT-I9103 using xda premium
Sorry for reposting it here again but I really need to know ... I leave for a weekend trip tonight and want to be carrying a stable build. These are the issues I am facing.
1. Lockscreen doesn't work at all.
2. The music kept pausing frequency on my way to office (AUX cable). Will try earphones soon.
3. A 2 sec press on power just restarts the phone and doesn't give the option to set the phone on vibrate (maybe a feature)
4. I am still getting the wrong baseband in About phone ( did anyone flash modem.bin. where is it?)
Maybe I was half asleep when I flashed it. Will flash it again once I reach home. But i did wipe dat and cache
Is hardware accelerated video decoding working confirmed in ics ..?
Anyone tested ..?
How to confirm ..?
In mx player i am not able to play 1080p video..
It is saying hw not possible..

Strange problems with Galaxy r

Ok so it is like this:
I bought my galaxy r here in sweden 1 year and 3 months ago, it was working perfectly for around 1 year.
At the one year mark i started to have some problems with the touchscreen where the phone would feel a pressure in the middle of the screen, to get rid of this i simply locked and unlocked the phone or rubbed a bit with a cloth on the screen.
Recently when I saw there was a cm10.1 rom with nightlies I rooted my phone and later installed the cm10.1 rom. Now the most anoying thing. I have a problem with my battery where the phone just shuts down randomly (mostly when playing games) even though it sometimes have up too 80% battery remaining. Then when I restart the phone it usually have 0% battery left and therefore shuts itself down again, sometimes it restarts with just a 20-30% batteryloss. This have occured more often recently and it shuts itself of 3-4 times a day. I can't remember if it was like this when i was on stock, before I started to flash and root, but i think it was.
A few days ago i flashed stock ics from odin and I confirmed that both of these problems still were there, so i have hard to belive that it is the modding of the software that have caused this.
Do you guys have any suggestions to how i can be able to use my phone normally again?
Im just a poor student so i don't want to waste money on a new phone after just 1 year :/
wipe data and cache..i think after flashing u restore ur data back.

It may be help you but first tell me, are you restoring data from titanium backup or something related to that..??
Also if you want to take backup then take it using Super backup application.

Nope, im not takeing backup of anything.
And one other thing i forgot to mention earlier, the phone now also thinks it is charging itself evrn when it is not. It think the usb cable is still connected.
I hope OP doesn't mind that I'm joining his thread, I'm experiencing the same problems on my gfs phone and don't know what to do.
I just installed the fresh CM 10.1 nightlies (did Cache/Data/Dalvik Wipe) and she is experiencing pretty much the same problems:
After 1 or 2 hours of unplugging the phone gets stuck and shuts down. After restarting the battery percentage is pretty low and the phone shuts down again (even if the battery says ~10%). The battery percentage then changes every restart, but is always between 0 and 20%. The phone is barely usable in this state :/
I couldn't wipe the SD card (.android_secure) because the swapped paths, could this be related?
Thank you in advance!

It shouldn't be happened. But if u are feeling so, just flash any stock GB using odin v1.87. Then just wipe all data and cache. Install cm10.1 over that using method 2.

I'm definitely going to try this, but as it seems now i think it is more about a faulty battery/hardware that software?
Or have these kind of problems been fixed software before?
One other thing, if i have rooted my device, does the root dissappear when i flash stockrom using odin?

May be hardware or software too..when you will vanish all data & cache then Software issue may be gone but if problem still persist, means you have hardware problem.
Also, root will be lost after flashing Stock ROM from ODIN.
I'm able to also confirm, that Procedure II didn't help the problem. I really doubt it is a hardware fault, because of us two having the exact same problem after flashing the same rom.
@Dippn: Do you know which nightly build you used? In my case it was the nightly build "20130405". Also could you check which baseband you are on? (Under About Phone -> Baseband Version) Over here we have i9103NEKI1
The only special thing we did I can think of is flashing a modem file (when we were still on the unofficial cm10.1 without these kind of problems, but massive battery drain), because there was a call problem going on for customers of the austrian provider 3 and CM10.1.
I could analyse the problem a bit more today: It seems as soon as the phone gets busy (for example from the browser loading pages or in DippN's case processing a game), the touch screen gets unresponsive and everything starts to lag and delay or freezes completely until it shuts down the phone. Could be either CPU or RAM related, I guess. I just wonder what caused this, even if the nightly had a faulty kernel, this should be fixed as soon as we flash another ROM, right?
I will be able to try a different ROM on monday. It would be great, if you could report, if the downgrade to GB helped the issue. I'd like to try a different baseband, if you are on the same right now too.
Greetings and thank you so much for trying to help us, vikesh!

Well, we are not on the same baseband. I'm on I9103XXLQ3.
About the cm verison im not quiet sure, the latest i flashed was "20130406" but since the problem were there the time before that when i flashed cm I cant answer exacly but i have a cm version "20130305" on my desktop and it could be that one that I used.
I never used cm before it was on nightlies so the modem file flashing i dont know anything about.
The thing you mention about that it shuts of when the phone gets busy and touchscreen gets unresponsive I can kind of confirm too.
I will flash GB now, will report back in an hour how it went.

Flashed GB using v1.85 and now I am stuck in bootloop, after 10 sec at the samsung logo it restarts and repeat. >.>
When the phone restarted after the flash and after it says "-updating application" it says:
Installing Multi-CSC
Can't access to '/system/csc/NEE/system/'.
Successfully applied multi-CSC.
I have no idea what this means but could it mean anything?
EDIT: I got it to start by wipe cache and data. (thought i should do that when cwm was installed)
Unfortunately already in the startup options when u write wifi password the touchscreen became very unresponsive and when i after a few min had succeded writing the password the phone shut of when it tried to connect to it! :,(
I can also confirm that it still thinks it is charing when it is not becuase the symbol in the statusbar flicked from battery to charging symbol.
Is there anything else softwarerelated that I can do?
