I LOVE this phone, but anyone else getting random reboots? I never had this problem with the Evo or Epic, but I get about one a day. Im thinking I should have it exchanged while im inside of my 14 days
I haven't had any issue with my phone, only spb launcher crashed on me at one point and caused me to force restart. can you pinpoint an instance that would cause the reboot?

nah, very random. Like it happened last night when I hung up a phone call. been playing on it all morning on the new n64oid emulator and its been fine but im sure ill get one some point today. I think im going to excchange it. wont hurt to
Mine was when I was at a former classmates birthday party and then I noticed my phone didnt detect my SIM card, I had to be the center of attraction on the party removing my phones back and taking out the battery, then the SIM card, then putting them back in. When it rebooted, Im glad it re-detected my SIM card. That was totally embarrassing.

Mine was at the time when I was beta testing a new rom...
I had to meet up my school friends...
The rom was working well...till one of my friends switched on wifi bt gps, all one after the other *JUST FOR THE FUN OF IT*
And bam! Force closes everywhere...graphic glitches, weird vibration patterns!
My friend thought he had screwed my phone...
And I had to flash a new rom in front of everyone, when all of us were supposed to enjoy...
And I lost a few apps+contacts+msgs since my backup wasn't updated...

When i first started using cynogen mod 7 and didn't read the buglist. I was supose to meet a girl somewhere and needed gps but that was a cm7 bug.. It would work and get a location when it wanted to after a few reboots sometimes it worked.. I never made it to see her but i had to flash a nightly rom to get gps to work.. So i was sad twice that night lol.

I flashed the GPS fix for the HD2 right before I went to school and give the phone to my girlfriend. Apparently, that fix caused reboots every minute. She hated the phone because it rebooted in class constantly. I wiped the ROM and reflashed and it fixed it. Lucky me lol

Amen to that :laugh:
Mine was when my phone did not receive calls once. My friend tried to call me and the call got connected, but I didn't get the call receiving screen at all nor any missed calls.
Another was when my phone suddenly started lagging in front of my friends.

I am so glad, that most of my friends dont know or are afraid of flashing. As a result, they dont know there are such options as overclocking and other things that can screw your phone.
my was when I was in school and was trying the dual boot kernel in my new s2 and it didn't boot up.......although I bought it 2 hours ago....LOL

Mine was just a couple of days ago. Wanted to show someone at work how awesome the rom was on my phone, and at that very moment it wanted to glitch, so it made me look like an idiot.
And, anytime I talk roms and rooting to my friends they look at me like I'm an idiot.
Mine still happens I just finished year 11 in the UK basically high school and my friends of course still want to keep in touch and since I'm always flashing ROMs, they are always like why don't you text or call back and I'm like I have checked my call history and my text messages it is all clear here, they think I am ignoring them.

So, I love this phone but have one issue that seems odd to me. As an example I am currently running pandora and tried opening the xda app which caused what appeared to be a fc but my phone kept running pandora and went to a black screen for a minute then a faded screen which eventually lead to a drop in data (briefly). Every thing was briefly unresponsive... It acted exactly like a reboot without rebooting. When I was able to unlock the screen I had no data service (briefly) and all apps closed. Xda app often fc's which is not a big deal to me but causing the black screen and data drop is concerning to me. I also had this happen when opening the phone info app while running nothing else. Should I be concerned about this? Software or hardware? I am running stock.
Edit: Have also had to reboot due to dropped data but it may have been during a switch between 4G or 3g even 1x.

same thing happens to me, not sure why. I went through and froze all bloat with titanium backup, and it still happens
It's not something I can make happen, just happens randomly. I have 5 days to return this so I would like to figure it out. If a software update would fix it I would just deal with it for now but I'm not sure what the problem is.

I just talked to Samsung on their live chat and they recommended I return the phone and exchange for new. I am still in the 14 day return window so I will ask for brand new even if I have to pay their $35 fee.

The policy is there is no $35 reatocking fee for the same phone swap. Don't let them tell you different. Your phone is DOA. Its a warranty exchange.

Replacement phone just did the exact same thing..... Seriously only one other person has this problem?

No.. tons of us have data issues. My phone hot booted in my hands the other night and it was the first time I experienced it, but I've seen reference to it before.
Your issues are not isolated.
I gave up with tech support and wishing a new phone would fix it and turned to third party development. My first time flashing a ROM. I used synergy and have been really thrilled with it.
Sucks to have to fix a brand new phone. Sucks to be a beta tester for Samsung and vzw.
Sorry for your troubles though.

Not the dropped data, the unresponsive black screen... Sorry, should have been more specific.

Ahh.. no. Sorry. Have you tried wiping/restoring the phone? Lame, I know...
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
I did not try wiping the phone because the first one was only nine days old and I had not done much with it. The second one lasted a day and now I am on my third. I really hope this does not happen again. The people at the Verizon store said they have never heard of this..... They think it's an app... I only have 12 apps installed. I don't know what I'm going to do if this happens with this phone. This is frustrating. I do not want to get stuck with a phone that has a problem like this.

Mine does the same thing. Besides the stock stuff, I loaded Pandora, Google Music, Amazon MP3, and Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean: Master of the Seas game. It was nice enough to wait until just after the 14 day return window to start locking up and misbehaving. The only way I could get it back was to do a battery pull. Of course, when I brought it to the store it ran like a champ! If you can get another replacement, make sure it says 'UPDATED' on the box. Those have a newer kernel / baseband and seem to be working better.
All of mine have said updated on the box. I am trying to limit apps for now and will slowly add them if I have no issues.

Had this issue on ics . In the other ROMs i noticed that the volume becomes very less after some time ( not mute though ). Reboot as usual fixes it.
i also have similar issue. sometimes audio doesn't work in music player/games. then i pause the player/game, go to home and increase phone volume using vol. up key. it usually fixes the issue

My guess is you have lint stuck in there. If you keep your phone in your pocket, especially with jeans and similar materials, lint tends to find its way into the jack. I get this all the time, and audio cuts in and out, and you sometimes have to force the plug in hard to get it to work at all. Turn the phone off and pull the battery out (really, do it) then bend a small paper clip so it is strait with just a little hook on the end, and carefully use it to pull the lint out of the jack. A bright light is helpful in the process. If I am right, you will be amazed at how much you can pull out, and if you get it clear it hopefully will work again.
I found out if you have your ringtones to vibrate or mute, the sound will stay working. So in other words, keep your phone on either and you'll be good . It's something to do with JB. I did some searching and came across a thread somewhere on xda saying it's something with custom JB ROMs across all devices, even nexus devices. What happens may vary, but in the end JB has audio issues

Yeah. I had the issue for the LONGEST time, now it is working fine 24/7, like I have all sounds working no problem. If it starts doing it again, I'll post here to let you guys know. If it doesn't **** up again, then all I can say is for anyone who get the issue, just stick to vibrate only for notifications and your other sounds (music, etc) will work fine.
I don't know if it matter's or not, but I am running the PAC-man ROM, the most recent v4 6/12/13. It might even be something with the default notification sounds being used. I am using sounds for my notifications from Zedge.
Hello I am experencing a really weird sound that randomly happens on my skyrocket that doesnt seem to be associated with anything. I am on slim bean build 7. I have turned off nfc because I thought that might be it but it was not. Any thoughts?
What is the sound, is it a notification sound, or a system sound?

No clue, just a random sound that I never herd before. Doesnt matter if the phone is pluged it or not, if the battery is full or almost empty, still happens. I'll try and record it.

Haha! Should prove to be fun since it's been happening randomly. Let me know if you catch it and we'll see if we can't figure it out.

Do you have any Voip apps? Social apps? Most voip or social apps (Viber,Facebook,Skype,etc) have their own preset notification sound. If you have any of these apps check the settings. Turn off notifications for those types of apps maybe?
