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 :/

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?

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.

normally when i experience random reboots, i just wipe cache and dalvik cache
if that dont work out then i flash back to stock kernel
its might me rom problem and one thing try to flash ur phone again but u said u don't have laptop but its only sol. according to me . if u want to be on 2.3.6 then acc to me don't install kernel and brother flashing again is the only sol
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...

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.
yes I have tried almost everything, like flashing custom roms or stock ruu almost everyday with different variations. flashing kernels, tweeks, so on and so on.
It works somehow and it disconnect itself after a while or totally stucks in "wireless is turning on". After it get online it makes couple of reboots and it gives "wireless is turning on" error again. I can use the phone for days but wireless never gets on.
The funny point is when wireless on and screen is locked and screen is off. When I attempt to click screen lock button, sometimes it never gives light but I can see that The screen is on and I can move the ring and do whatever i want but it is very hard to see actually. I have to put on light on to see the pictures but it doesnt happen when wifi is off or gives error.
and another funny point is I can swipe down upper bar when screen is locked. I can do bypass.
What the hell is going on my phone? no idea really
lol, i don't know a solution for the screen/wifi issue. but lockscreen pulldown status bar is a new feature of ICS, not a bypass

we have the same issue i even downgrade to GB but still the same problem did have the wifi issue when you did OTA ?

I think most of the people having same issues and problems but having no solution for that? it is just ridiculous.

Hi,
Have a look at THIS THREAD
Particularly # 3 and Extra 1
I have this problem as well...whatever I do, I can't get wifi to work anymore...I reflashed firmware, tried several different roms, I followed the guide in the aforementioned post...nothing helps...it always says "Error" after some time.
Is there anybody who knows what to do?
Struggled with same problem for months...gave up
I had the same problem with my wi-fi and bluetooth. Both would get stuck on "turning on" mode and never come on. Everything else worked fine. I too flashed ROMS, Kernels, RUU's etc. to no avail. SO I GAVE UP. After 2 months without wifi i couldn't anymore so i called HTC, they asked for my S/N and IMEI and confirmed I was still under warranty, so I un-rooted, went back to S-ON, flashed the newest official T-Mobile RUU and shipped the phone away. I called today and they said the MOTHERBOARD was being replaced and I should have it back this week! Woot-Woot! Try giving HTC a call...worst thing that happens is they say NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY...but you won't find out till you give em a call...*shrug.
I have the same problem with the lock screen and wifi. Except for me the wifi is always on "Error". It doesn't say anything else it just says error. It started happening after a system update failed to install. An update would come up and reboot my phone to try and install it. So it would start up ext4 recovery and ext4 would do some stuff and then reboot again. After boot I was asked again if I wanted to install the update. I repeated this process a couple of times before deciding I had enough and deleted the update.
Wifi has been on Error ever since. Everything else works fine.
Does anyone have any ideas? I'm on a HTC Sensation XE stock rom but HTC Dev unlocked and perm rooted.

yes I have tried almost everything, like flashing custom roms or stock ruu almost everyday with different variations. flashing kernels, tweeks, so on and so on.
It works somehow and it disconnect itself after a while or totally stucks in "wireless is turning on". After it get online it makes couple of reboots and it gives "wireless is turning on" error again. I can use the phone for days but wireless never gets on.
The funny point is when wireless on and screen is locked and screen is off. When I attempt to click screen lock button, sometimes it never gives light but I can see that The screen is on and I can move the ring and do whatever i want but it is very hard to see actually. I have to put on light on to see the pictures but it doesnt happen when wifi is off or gives error.
and another funny point is I can swipe down upper bar when screen is locked. I can do bypass.
What the hell is going on my phone? no idea really

Hi buddy.. I was having the same problem as you with the wifi error. Also my phone was restarting by itself. what I did was that I removed the SD card and left the phone without it. It worked for me. After that my wifi was working perfectly and no more restarts. I had a 8GB SD Card before, maybe with this new update this 8GB SDcard was too heavy for the phone. I running a 2GB SDcard now with no problems. Please let me know if it worked to you as well.. Good luck!!

I tried this, but it did not work. I'm not sure if my problem is a hardware failure or a software problem. 3 weeks after I got this phone, it got water damaged. Full of water! I took out the battery, letted it dry for some hours and turned it on. Everything worked! Only thing to see from the water, was the spot, that shows if it have got water, was 3/4 red. Everyting went good within a month or so. Then in feburary/march it stopped working (wifi). The same thing for Bluetooth. It's just writing "turns on" wifi or the bluetooth, and after 5-10 minutes it say "error"
Edit: The reason why I wonder about if it's a hardware/software failure is, I do not remember if it came within a install of an costum rom or it just happened out of now where
Any sugestions?

I had the same problem, this is how i fixed it : first flahs 4EXT recovery, not clockwork, then get the rom you want and a super wipe, go into recovery, turn smartflash on in tools. Superwipe, then let it reboot, turn smartflash on again, and flash the rom

Ignore this info. What you need to do is log into your router hub & change the wifi signal Ch from auto to say, number 4 or summat, guarantee that's your problem.

Wipe Cache/Dalvik and data.
DON'T use the device after the first boot, let it just sit there alone for 10 minutes, reboot it and start using it after, works for me everytime, i guess it's just cache regenerating all over again which can cause slow performance and can get corrupted sometimes causing freezes.

Did you follow the steps ONE BY ONE on the CM9 thread? you should use the flashing from stock method, all of the steps.
If you did that, try another base rom (XXKPU) and then flash CM9 on it.

If it was working fine before you turned it off, it's probably not a brick.
Maybe it's a hardware failure?
Try using the reset button between the speaker and the camera and try to turn it on (Search to find pictures about it).
If that doesn't work, keep trying to access download, if that also doesn't work, it's probably hardware related, although that in my opinion would be weird.
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.

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.

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.

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 ..?

Hi guys,
I'm trying to find a Android 4 ROM/ Kernel that doesn't randomly reboot my MT4GS. So far no luck with CM 9.1 from scverhagen r8, r9b, r7b and the experimental 10a3, AOKP 4.2, CM 10 has been most stable of all so far but drains battery soo fast and also got me random reboots or shutoffs sometimes... The other ones usually reboot very fast after flashing. About 10 minutes after that, at least if the phone sits idle. Maybe when the phone is going to sleep or deep sleep? (Don't know what that is exactly)
Since these ROMs seem to be very stable with a lot of you guys, maybe I'm doing something wrong? I always wipe and format data and system and wipe battery stats and dalvik cache before flashing and don't use the phone for 7 minutes after rebooting... I have the newest radio I could find in the forums which is Radio 11.59.3504.00_11.16.3504.20_2
As always, your help means a lot to me and is greatly appreciated.

And yes demkantor, I know some apps are problematic and cause reboots/ instability, however I recently tested without installing any apps to be absolutely sure, even without gapps and it still crashed/ rebooted.
I am still without a clue, even you guys don't have another idea? Haha I don't get computer stuff even after all these years...
Oh I got another idea. Maybe my battery is broken and because most kernels optimize battery use and undervolting etc, maybe this results in my phone crashing or rebooting? Also, maybe a reboot means a problem with the rom/ kernel and a crash (instant shut down) means higher propability for a battery problem?
Man I'm really desperate hahaha

You're having problems with every single 4.X series ROM you flash? Even with the original kernel that is supplied with that ROM? That just sounds SO weird! Almost as if you have a secured bootloader. Even with S-Off, that would keep it from flashing with the ROM. You haven't flashed a different bootloader sometime have you?

If you try to flash a new bootloader the only way to get soff again would be via the wire trick, more complicaed then the revolutionary method but better, at the same time not neccesary.

I can't remember using a ROM that never crashed, but I'll try a stock ROM if nothing else works. However an old kernel of scverhagens CM 9.1 seems to work flawlessly if battery is not about < 15%. The newest r10 kernel on the other hand always immediately crashes when the phone is not charging. When charging I haven't experienced a crash yet. That's strange and makes me suspect my battery is the problem.

So, I'm reviving this thread, because I stopped writing only because my phone was broken. Now it's back and I'm facing this problem again.
I've tried a lot of the 4.x ROMs here from the forums, but all of them rebooted or shut down after 5 - 10 minutes after flashing. I also tried some without flashing gapps even, but still the same symptoms. Also tested it with my new battery, nothing changed. Even the scverhagen CM 9.1 ROM rebootet shortly after flashing that worked longer previously (guess that was just by chance)
Now I've tried the original image and it works! Ugh. So what can be wrong, any ideas?
I was having this issue as well and it ended up being my battery. I had ordered those gold ones and luckily had kept my stock. Plugged the stock one in and my reboots went away. Not sure if that's your issue. My brother had this issue and we updated his CWM that was older to the latest TWRP and that fixed his reboots. Hope either of those suggestions help

It happened with both stock and new battery (Anker).
Thanks, update to latest TWRP had been my next try, if it didn't work now. But it does! Yeaaah so happy Thanks to everyone again. Almost three hours uptime and not a single issue so far!
To conclude: What I did:
Revert completely back to stock with BlueIX6's stock image (except that phone was still s-off and sdcard not wiped).
Then followed instructions to unlock bootloader, flash CWM recovery and finally flashed ROM (see sticky thread). Works like a charm!
In hindsight maybe radio made my phone unstable... I think it's the only thing that's different from now.
