(Q) lockup even after GB

Ok so even before GB my phone would lockup and forces me to do a restart just to get it working, and now even after the update that still happens. Am I the only one who is having that problem?

Mine is doing the same things but even more than before GB. It doesn't reboot randomly but it lags (in the browser and sometimes when using the keyboard - I use SwiftKey) and freezes a lot to the point of me having to remove the battery.
I'm new to Android but I think I'm ready to get a custom rom on this. Any advice?

after the GB updates, mine is behaving not that different. It now restarts itself when i plug it in for charging and plug out from charging. Anyone having this kind of problem?
Tmobile tech team is now not doing the exchange any more, instead they are telling me to go to nearest store to investigate the problem.....looks like i'm stuck with this device......
with the GB update, the battery looks good. It does not drain out like it used to be before.

Yeah its really getting on my nerves. lastnight it locked up so much i just switched it off and went on my iphone. i might call customer care and get a replacement and see if that works better.

Any of you try and to a factory reset?
I've been running since the day of the release and the phone locked up only once while left on the dash and got extremely warm.
Every issue I've had has been fixed, the phone runs unbelievably well for me.

yea i factory reset and it still happens. only thing i cant complain on is improved battery life, but what good is that when my POS phone locks up lol.

The lockups are a hardware issue. It still exists even on different Kernels. Just request a replacement.

I've had lock ups before. Flash cwm and start trying some roms. I no longer have any problems and there are really some great roms out for this phone. Just make sure to wipe everything and backup each time to be safe. There's no reason not to try them, much of then are far better performance wise than stock.

What rom are you running? I had lockups with the cm7 nightly and eaglesblood (even more than stock).

Anyone bored and feel like looking through a kmsg or 2?

So I am trying to fix my wife's phone. She keeps getting random reboots. It started on stock. I rooted and flashed a couple of different roms and the problem persists. Thanks to qkster I managed to copy 2 last_kmsg logs from the last 2 reboots. The first one I was listening to Pandora and halfway through the song the phone rebooted. The second one I had just sent a text and turned the screen off. Couple minutes later it wouldn't come back on as if it was completely off.
I tried going to jb over the weekend (phone was screwing up anyway so I figured what the hell) but lost my imei. So went back to stock. Fully wiped everything. Flashed mg's infinitum ics since out of all the roms I've tried that one runs the best. Been on it 3 days now.
In my completely uneducated opinion the reboots are caused by some kind of memory issue.
I'm sure it's hardware related and was just wondering if someone with a larger IQ than me could give me an idea of how to fix it. I'm 7 months away from an upgrade.
I've looked at the battery to make sure the connecters were clean and nothing was broken.
Thanks for whatever help anyone can give.

Looks like it could be a problem with your audio/dac - that would be my take, anyway. That's what all this stuff is about: unable to get clock pcm, wm8994_samsung.c (wm8994_resume,3961) ]. wm8994 is the Wolfson DAC in the Infuse. PCM Out of curiosity, have you tried VoodooSound? I wonder if the anti-jitter setting would make a difference...
I am not an expert - just curious!

I never tried to use voodoo. Never even looked into it. I will look into that though. Thanks.
Edit - I'm running a cm9 base rom. Infinitum. Isn't voodoo automatically on in cm9?

lol! Sorry, it's been a long day: Voodoo Sound (link to Play Store app)

I'm a dumb ass. Just reread your first post. Did you try voodoo sound? I need to learn to read better. Downloaded voodoo sound and pretty much checked everything. Will let you know. Thanks again!

No reboots since I added voodoo sound. You may be eligible for genius status. Upgraded to jellybean to really push the phone. Will let you know.
Thanks so much!

It is an odd problem to have. Normally, people use VS to take advantage of the Wolfson chip. If it works, great! One little thing I might mention - a kind of odd behavior with VS in JB - Even if you don't use the bass boost, VS seem to limit the output volume. All you have to do is click Bass Boost (not enable or anything, just open the menu setting) and the sound gates open. This does not happen if you enable Smart Amplifier btw.

Things seem to be a bit better with voodoo sound. Been on pa jellybean for a couple days now. 1 reboot but I couldn't get a last kmsg.
Thanks for helping me!

Spoke too soon. Tried playing a game and when I exited everything was frozen. Uploaded a new last_kmsg. Didn't see anything like the first one though.

Posted another last_kmsg I think this one is the charger. Not certain though.

These problems can also be related to particular apps. The problem you describe on Oct 8 is pretty common. You might try increasing your dalvik cache size if your phone freezes after using certain intensive apps. To do this, you need to edit your build.prop Look around for suggestions on best settings.

Thanks for the help. I've made my way to jb and using zram. Thought that might help. Will look into dalvik cache. I have tried googling phrases from the kmsg but I don't have the basic understanding i guess. Again I appreciate your time and suggestions

Well, in the last one there's something going on with your touchscreen. Have you ever overclocked this phone? Have you noticed that it gets hot? Honestly, if you were playing a game for an extended period of time, it would get hot anyway. I'm guessing there is/was a heat issue...

I actually went to flash the oc kernel for the cm10 when I got to jb but kept boot looping. So I never got oc running. The last message I posted was the third time in a row the phone rebooted. I was reading the kmsg from the second reboot when it rebooted. Weird.
But no its not getting hot. It kept saying something about the USB probe or something. I figured its something with my charger/USB port.

Sorry, what kept saying something about the USB probe? Internal components also use USB. It's not just the port.

I'm sorry. I must have misread it. It said ta probe. And then calibration. I don't know. I'm pretty sure the phone has a hardware issue and will try to keep it together long enough to upgrade. Though it may be placebo I think voodoo sound does help a little bit.
Thanks again.

Yeah, you've got something going rogue on you. May be an app, or corrupted app data, or something harder to track down. If it's something you don't mind dealing with, a factory reset may be in order. Otherwise, you would try and see if it's being cause by wakelocks. Using Battery Battery Stats can point you to PWLs or KWLs, but if that yields nothing, the factory reset may be your solution. Sorry, it's hard to give a definitive answer on this.
What version are you on, OTA ICS, Leak 1 or 2, or GB? ROM, if any? When did this start happening, and can it be isolated to any indicator(s), such as opening a certain app, using WiFi, bluetooth, etc?

Turned off all data connection and still problems and ics official and I swapped batteries and it fixed it so could it be a bad battery Possibly?

I can't say for sure that it's a battery issue, seems unrelated to this stage occurrence. I'd have to say it was software related, but if the swapped battery has cleared up the problem, and it decides to reappear, you can try what I suggested above to track down wakelocks. You may still have to resort to factory resetting, but you'll have to be the one to make that determination...

Phone is hot after rooting

Hello all,
So I'm a noob when it comes to rooting, but I got through it fairly simply on my first go. All I've really done since is disable the annoying wifi available notification in the pull down bar. I've noticed however, that the phone has been getting pretty hot since then. Not sure if this is the right place to post, but any help would be appreciated.

Don't understand why just rooting would do that myself. Are you charging it when it gets hot? I know my old bionic would get wicked hot if i was tethering off of it and charging it. But just charging it along only slightly. It was using massive amounts oof battery, like tethering, while charging that induced the heat.
On the other hand though I still tether 5 or 6 people at a time on my S3 a night while charging and my phone barely gets warm. Pushing almost a gig of data a night. Maybe your battery is getting fried? What apps are you using most when it gets hot?

Was it searching for a signal? If you click on battery under settings then look at the graph....is there a lot of red?

That may have been it. I restarted the phone after bad let it charge that night. Today it hasn't happened to me yet. I'll keep this updated though.

Let me take a wild-arse guess: you're running the VRLHD radio? If so: known problem - it's always hot.

How do I find out?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

Settings > About phone > Baseband version. FWIW IDK how well known of a problem this is. I'm running the VRLHD radio and my phone is never hot. Asked a few others who frequent d2vzw discussion and they were also unfamiliar. If you want to know for sure, grab a different radio from invisiblek's modem thread and try that.

Just to add my 0.02. My phone always got super hot on the HD modem, if I switched back to any of the others it was fine and its fine now that it is on HE. It didn't matter is I was using WiFi or not it was just always super hot on HD.

[Q] Random Shutdowns Cyanogenmod 10 Stable?

Hello all,
Semi-noob here, I've rooted and flashed my phone to the Stable version of Cynogenmod, on Android 4.1.2. I haven't added the Lightning Kernel, only because of a pretty annoying issue: the phone randomly shuts down for no apparent reason. I ran a search and didn't see much about this issue so here goes: doesn't matter what's going on with the phone, it will suddenly (and very randomly) freeze for a moment, then go black, the Samsung logo will appear, it'll vibrate, then kaput.
To turn it back on, I have to do one of 2 things:
-hold the Power button for a LONG time;
-remove battery, reinsert, hold Power button normally.
So what gives? Did I flash something wrong? Should I reflash the ROM? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated,
Cheers!

I'd think it's the screen of death.
But when I look at this more, I think of what the oc, governor and scheduler are.

The stable version is not very stable. Look for the latest nightly, its much better.
For the latest cm 10 10.1 and 10.2 go here http://www.goo.im/devs/cm/t769/nightly
Look closely at the dates to get the right one.

In retrospect, I should have thought of that, thanks! I changed it to Performance from Interactive after reading this last week and since then no shutdowns at all. Hopefully this is the end of that annoying bug. Merci! :good:

Whoops, no sooner had I written that than my phone shutdown again. WTF? Anything in particular I should do to stop this?

Try the latest cm 10 nightly? That is what I'm running on 2 phones with no shutdowns like your describing.

Yeah, I might flash it when I get back to the US, I am on a long-term business trip and last thing I need is to brick the phone while in France!

I've had similar issues with CM10 "stable". I knew the rom was at fault. I haven't tried the nightlies, but that would have been my next guesses too. I've been looking for a daily driver, and despite some hiccups with MIUI, I've been pretty happy with it.
