Random restarts.

I get 1-2 reboots a day. A couple lock ups happen too. Anyone else? Is it normal?

It's definitely not normal. Try wiping fresh and installing only necessary apps then test again. If the issue persists trade it in for a new Infuse.

My wife and I both get it on our two new Infuses. Mine pretty much happens when I am browsing... It will lock up vibrate a few times and basically reboot... Pretty frustrating... And I don't think wiping it clean will help since this happen on both of our phones

Hmm...interesting....
Are you all rooted? Changed any apps? Made any tweaks or all stock?
I've had my Infuse for a week now and it's been great....no reboots of any kind. No real bugs to complain about, though I have noticed it can lag quite a bit when looking at mms'.

The vibrating is force closing. sounds like an app to me. did you and your wife both in stall the same apps? try factory rest on just one to test. BEWARE. take your external SD out. the facotry reset, wipes that too.

Problem with restarts had been referred to SD cards. It is not always relevant, as such behaviour used to happen even on card-free phones. My problems started just after update to Mango, what made phone practically unusable.
I tried and seems succesfully solved problem in following way:
- connect phone to Zune
- click on phone, then settings
- choose RESERVED SPACE position
- change with slider from default 1% to 20%
- apply, disconnect
My phone, with Micro SD, stopped crazy behaviour, f.ex. during making photo, using apps. So far so good.
So maybe, either Samsung or MS had screwed up default settings of phone and use of ROM/RAM upon processes.
Solution can be applicable to Focus S and Omnia 7 too.
Good luck!

WTF...... ? No. Mod.. I think you should close this..

Phone occasionally locks and drops data

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.

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.

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.

Two hour battery life please help

I'm ruining stock ICS 4.0.4. Noticed yesterday my phone was really sluggish and battery life would go from%100 to dead in about two hours. I went into settings then apps and looked at my running apps and my phone was scrolling through all of my apps. I don't think that's normal. My widgets are slow to activate and my phone is slow to respond. Any help would be appreciated. Does this sound like a virus or a simple fix?

I did hear that from a friend and I didn't believe it...
Now I'm starting to believe...
Best way fresh install, format internal sd.
That way you know for sure if it's a virus or not.
Good luck!

That's not going to tell you if its a virus noob. It could be any number of things causing the slowdown. What are your friends credentials because if its not a background in networking security he's got nothing but here say. Unfortunately for you I am a security professional. The likelihood of a virus is slim to none. Its more likely memory issues some apps probably consuming more than its share.

Bad info and fear are not good input either. The reset would probably help but not because of a virus but freeing up tons of previously used space.

You may have a app wakelocking keeping your CPU running and not deep sleeping like stated above there is like a .01 percent chance its a virus.
Wipe every thing reflash ROM of choice let settle then install your apps one a time waiting a few minutes between them so u can see witch one dose it.

Read up on the wake lock thread and see what betterbatterystats tells you. Or you could just flash a new rom

Hey thanx to all who responded. I ended up backing up my phone and doing a reset. Lost all my sips but that's no biggie. Went back with sock ICS and all seems to be fine. Once again thanx for helping out a somewhat noob!

So just to see if I understood :
You are using stock but rooted (?)
And your battery last only two hours.
I had the same issue with a ROM. First you have to shut off al your radios, data, gps, wifi, bt... Just to be aware if none of these things that are draining your battery life.
Then you should try to verify your battery charger. There's an sticky here in the forum. And lastly you have to check wakelocks... There's a good discussion about that here also.
I know it's kind of disappointing at the beginning, but when you finally understand all the symptoms of your phone you will solve all the troubles really quick... It's like having a newborn baby, at the beginning you don't know why they cry but when you learn about them you can identify every "kind of cry".
Best regards.

[Q] Android is upgrading..

Hello,
I have a SGH-I727 from at&t, which I have just upgraded into ice cream sandwich via kies. When the process finished it put me onto a screen that says Android is upgrading... starting applications, I have had it on for about an hour but I am unsure if I should just let it keep going or do something about it. Please help, thank you in advance.
Edit: Every once in a while the screen also flashes white.

Reboot. If doesn't work do a factory reset.

Pictures, music, etc will still be there. Texts are a different story, you will lose them if they're not backed up. But I'm sure you will have to do a factory reset to get beyond where you are now.

[Q] 2 unlock screens on CM7, and old market?

Hi, I have 2 problems which I cannot find the answer on XDA.
First, I have 2 unlock screens for CM7.
I have the slider lock, which then go to the pattern lock.
I only want the pattern lock.
Second, I have the old android market, not the new one I had before I flashed CM7. Is there a difference?
Anytime I download a new app, it says "Packaged file not signed correctly cannot complete" or something along those lines. I searched how to fix this and it said to use Titanium backup to uninstall the app in question and reinstall. Well.... I don't have facebook installed and it says cannot complete. Any suggestions? Maybe try a new Gapp?
Can anyone link me to a better Gapp than the 2.3.7 Gapp on Goo.im

when you originally flashed cm7 did it take you through the Google account setup? Where it asks for your gmail account and it syncs all your info? I had a similar problem when i first flashed cm7 but i didn't have the market or playstore installed AT ALL lol. I would recommend deleting the gapps and downloading a fresh one. Do a complete wipe in cwm and reflash everything in this order.
1.rom.
2. Kernel if you want, recommend mazouts latest oc kernel runs great.
3. Baseband fix zip file.
4. Gapps.
This should fix the issue.

Go to settings, open cyanogenmod settings, then unlock options, then tap "skip on security" to fix your lock screen problem. As for the play store, the thing the other person said should work.

Lol. Ok and also does your phone ever overheat? i have the extended battery thing you know and my phone keeps freezing then going to the LG screen and just staying there occasionally. prolly every few hours it does that and i have to take the battery out

The only problem i experience over heating issues is when I'm using wifi calling over a crappy wifi connection. For some reason when it loses connection while its asleep, the phone falls into a sleep of death or SOD. so when i press the power button nothing happens, screen wont turn on the phone starts to heat up ans drain the battery like no other. I have to remove battery and reboot phone to fix. Does not happen often and only when using wifi calling over a crappy network
