Random reboots and phone app crashes on stock gingerbread

My wife's galaxy s 4g, reboots all the time by itself. We'll be eating dinner and hear it reboot itself in the other room. Also her phone app crashes all the time when she tries to make a call.
We complained to tmobile, they replaced it with a refurbished unit, loaded with the latest gingerbread update. Has all the same problems, and the only thing they'll do is replace it with another unit.
Since it happened to two different units, I have to believe it's an issue with the stock software, either kernel, rom or radio. Does anybody have a fix?
Is there a combo or kernel/rom/radio that is highly recommended? I don't mind rooting but would like to keep it as close to stock as possible, she wont like change.

There are custom ROMS and alternative radios that you can flash, but if you are having these problems with stock then I'd be hesitant to say they will go away with a different ROM or Radio. I would go for the 3rd T-Mo replacement....the refurb units are pot luck. I had a warranty replacement a few months back and it took two phones before I got one that worked properly.

Try the 1-Click Gremlin Remover in my signature. It will give you an older stock GB (2.3.5), custom pre-rooted kernel, and clear out any issues. It takes a while to download, but it works quite well. It is fully bloated, with all the bells and whistles that comes stock on our phones.
After that, you can dl kies mini and try the update yourself. But I would suggest instlling one of brian's (bhundven) kernel to maintain root (also found in my signature).
That should fix her up and maintain stock. Or, if you can convince her, try vahalla black or erik's new ROM Seet Child of Mine.

I'm wondering if it's not a problem with an app she has installed. Has she tried running it without installing any apps to see if the problem persists? Maybe perform a factory data reset (make sure you backup anything she wants to keep) and run it without installing any apps for a day or so to see if it works ok. If so, then start installing apps one at a time. Let each app run a day or so before installing the next. It's a pain but it may narrow down the issue.

Thanks for the replies. I'll try downgrading.
She doesn't use many apps, she has beautiful widgets, draw something, and maybe a couple others like facebook, etc - basically only the super popular ones.

I used beautiful widgets on my old phone, it would reboot when clicked on after a bit of up time. IIRC it was a known bug and should have been fixed by now.
I would try what stephen suggests as long as you still have time on the warranty to exchange.

My wife's stock does the same thing. Before and after the GB Kies update. It may be samsung problem. Kinda like the random reboots we are getting on the custom roms. I wonder if they could be related.

[Q] Sabsa Prime 5.0

My phone has an issue where it restarts about every five minutes. I have had a warranty replacement through my carrier, and I have done clean installs of the ROM through CWM every time I wipe the phone.
I had this same issue with Sabsa 4/4.1, and don't know yet if it's due to an app. I just did another clean install, and over the next several days I'm going to download non-vital apps (the vital apps *have* to go on there today, obviously, once the phone is wiped and redone) to see if it starts doing this again. In the meantime, since I couldn't find a similar issue anywhere on the forum nor in the dev thread, I wanted to ask here.
I install a pretty large number of apps, I will admit, and while this hasn't been Sabsa-specific, I think all the ROMs I have tried used the same or a similar kernel.
The apps I consider vital are:
imo
jorte
Google voice
avast
llama
SwiftKey (paid)
Dropbox
Skyvi
Before you respond, please do not tell me to try a battery pull, formatting my phone and reinstalling after a wipe, or wiping the cache/Dalvik/battery stats. These are all things I have done in varying orders. Has anyone else had this issue, and how did you resolve it? Is it one of my vital apps that I listed above? If it is that, please recommend a replacement.

Have you tried running the phone plugged into power without a battery? Is there any ROM on which the problem doesn't present itself? Are you overclocked?

1. No, I honestly didn't know it could do that. If it starts happening again I'll try that first.
2. Not that I've found. That said, I've only been using Sense 4 and 4a ROMs. The ones I've specifically tried so far are Sabsa (of course), ICESense, Black Impulse, and Virtuous.
3. No. I don't even overclock my computers. Too little gain for too much wear on the hardware.
Something else that I just thought of that I have seen other people tell users in the dev thread: Yes, I do have S-OFF.

For #2, give the latest (rooted) stock ROM a try if #1 fails. Obviously, Nandroid back up your current ROM first.

{Q}to follow the cm 10.2 updates

Hi,
I m very interested in install the official 10.2 CyanogenMod based in android 4.3, but is in Nightly phase, i am wondering how much time can take to reach a more stable version, and if is posible to follow the changes, issues and fixes in the daily releases.
I hope someone can give me orientation, thx in advance.

Of course you can. Head over to the thread Nardholio started in the Development section.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2405310
The first post has links to: the official CM site and to the Apex Github. The CM site has a changelog for nightlies. On the Apex Github, they maintain a list of known issues.
It's all there.
I caution you on expectations here. Android 4.4 was just announced with a very unfortunate name. I think Jelly Bean 4.3 has about 60 days to live. It would be silly to expect 10.2 to be stable by then. After 4.4 hits Nexus devices, I bet the Apex guys will shift their focus to 4.4 and we will repeat some of this process...

it will probably never happen.
android 4.4 is just around the corner, so i guess the focus will be swapped on that, as it was for 4.3 and 4.2 before

CyanogenMod will do a final "release" build when 10.2 is EOL which will be the most stable we can make it. We also have a last 10.1 build we consider mostly stable, although it is unofficial. Right now 10.2 does have some stability issues, but most of these will be worked out (there are some bugs in our firmware we will not be able to fix until/if Samsung updates the firmware)

I have random freezes/reboots all the time on the official nightlies -- even the ones people claim are stable. The lockscreen freezes quite often too. Are these known issues or am I just a lucky one? I am running CWM and followed the installation instructions on the Cyanogenmod wiki.
I just installed alogerec and hopefully something will show up to troubleshoot my issue.

Problem with 10.2 nightly as well
I have a problem with the 10.2 nightlies I have tried (all from this week) that I emailed Narholio as he requested.
But since I am a n00b and cannot post to development threads yet I could not post details there. I have not done extensive testing because the screen stays black even though the buttons light up when I try to unlock the phone. I can usually get it to display by pressing the lock button again to lock it, then pressing it again to unlock it right away. This also seems to happen only after the phone has been locked for greater than 20 seconds. If the screen timeout happens, or if press the lock button to lock it, the display almost always works if I unlock it again before 20 seconds is up.
I have not noticed any reboots or other problems, but have not used it extensively because of the black screen problem.

Try http://ls.infernix.net/jenkins/job/apexq-staging/ build 336
Sent from my SGH-T699 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I flashed build 336 last night and still have my phone lock up when trying to unlock it. This doesn't happen every time but when it does it either shows the back and menu buttons illuminated with a black screen or an unresponsive lock screen. In either case it will eventually reboot.

I also still have the same problem with 336 you linked. I'm running it right now and posting this using it. I have had no reboots or other problems yet, but the black screen while trying to unlock it still plagues an otherwise really great experience. I love the speed and feel of it

I've seen that problem w/ the freezing while trying to unlock when the phone is OOM. If you can actually get it to unlock after that, check your apps memory usage.

Good idea

Thanks for the suggestion. Checking memory is a good idea, although I really don't have any apps at all installed. Didn't even install gapps when I flashed this time.
Is there a preferred way to check for free memory? Terminal command?

Personally, I always forget to close browser tabs and OOM that way. Check in Settings -> Apps -> Running

Look at the apps you use as well.
When Android was introduced, they rolled it out with a set of guidelines called the application life cycle.
In the document, Google specified how to develop applications and what was available. One option for devs that is powerful is running a thread as a service. It was a feature that was supposed to be used sparingly... (A service is a program that runs all the time--unless the kernel panics and shuts down everything.)
Unfortunately, developers know that Google isn't going to do anything to push them to make quality software. The market is supposed to sort it out.
In many cases, this is not working. People are taking advantage of the lack of QA.
Bottom line: App devs are building software that leaves services running in the background all the time--for no good reason, whatsoever. Many of these services are just there to slurp up your data and send it to their servers so they can sell it.
Holding the back button to fix it? That rarely works. The devs have intentionally built their memory wasting crapware to restart the service if it gets shut down.

Yep, did wipe each time I tried multiple recent nightly versions which all do the same thing. The only one I've tried that works correctly is the 20130309 version.

I generally keep a tab open to this Relay forum so I can watch what's happening, but not many tabs. Also happens immediately after flashing, without even running any apps, much less installing any.

I really haven't installed any. And when testing different nightlies I just flashed and it happens right away, didn't install a thing on them.
I decided to stay on a version for a while, so have had 20130920 since Friday, and I've used it long enough to know it is consistent. I have found another way to make it happen: incoming phone calls. When phone wakes that way it almost always happens as well. Today it finally showed the screen when I received a call, but 3 or 4 other calls the screen has just been black so I can't tell who's calling.
I discovered another thing since using this ROM for 6 days. Sometimes I get lines/bars/tearing on screen that won't go away until I lock and unlock the phone again.
I have some other phones that are broken, if I can fix one of them I might consider sending this one to a dev to temporarily play with since it seems to be the perfect test case for this problem. The screen is cracked (I got it used in this condition), which I would normally suspect to be the cause of the problem, however since it does not have either problem with stock ICS, stock JB, or the 20130309 CM I'm pretty sure it's related to something in CM10.2. Just new enough to Android I'm not sure how to track it down.
Thank you all for your help!

I have one of these "rev0 cpu" phones and just recently went back to the stock firmware (ugh) because of the lockscreen wakeup lockups. I have gone 3 days so far with no issues. Until this issue is troubleshot, this is an option for anybody who needs stability with one of these phones. I miss CM very much though.
Sent from my SGH-T699 using xda app-developers app

I also have a rev0 cpu phone, and I had a few lockup/reboots since I finally dove in last Monday (9/30) with Staging build 341. However, without me changing anything (still on the same build), they seem to have stopped. Last one I got was 10/2.
Edit: until just now. *facepalm*

I got sick of stock so I tried CM again. After flashing the 10.2-20131014-NIGHTLY-apexqtmo nightly I have not had one reboot or lockup in days. YMMV
Edit: Still haven't had a lockup on wake or reboot.

Hmm... I'll have to try again
Hmm... Sounds like I need to try again then. I tried one released after that and still had issues, but I will try to make some time later to try it. It is fantastic other than that problem.

newer nightlies
Anyone else having issues with the newer nightlies? I have been flashing one a week for a while now and I'm coming from the 14th. tried flashing the 21,22,and 23 all of them are giving me a boot loop at the samsung screen. I have dirty flashed, cleared cache and dalvik, updated recovery. none of them are working for me. Am I missing something? they don't work so i reflash the 14th and everything is good again.
tried in
CWM 6.0.3.7
CWM 6.0.3.8
CWM Touch 6.0.3.8
all with the same errors any help would be appreciated

[Q] Freezing and rebooting?

It's happened several times in the past three weeks, seemingly at random. I'll either be texting or playing a game, and boom. Phone goes unresponsive for about 4 seconds and the boot animation pops up. Sure enough, it's reset.
I have no idea how to get logs or I'd post them. Googling around at the time of this post.
Nexus 5, black, 16g, AT&T and (rooted) stock ROM.

Would there be a quick way to restore my phone to the condition it's in (preferably without the hangups)? Because I'd like to avoid that option if possible.
I pulled a logcat off my phone (and let it run for quite some time, 77k lines. Eesh) and there's a few warnings that kept popping up that I don't know how to decipher since I'm not an Android developer.
-[edit]-
Sorry, stock kernel. Only non-stock thing I've done is root it and installed few apps that either need or work better with root permissions.

I find it odd that the phone would do this randomly considering you are running stock ROM and kernel and all you did was root. With that being said a factory reset is your best option. Use titanium backup or helium.
What method did you use to root?

[Q] Cyanogenmod 11-M9 crashy as hell on Hammerhead?

Is anyone else running Cyanogenmod 11 M-releases on their Nexus 5?
I just got mine a week or two ago, and the first thing I did was unlock it and flash it to CyanogenMod 11. (M8 at the time)
I'm using the device encryption, because I'm a paranoid bastard (And I love the fact this phone is actually usable while encrypted, unlike my Nexus S), and I find it very crashy. Several times per day, seemingly totally random, often while entering into the keyboard, though sometimes while it's just in my pocket. I've been able to determine no rhyme or reason.
No error messages, no apps crashing, no force closes, just several times a day it'll just freeze and reboot. Data loss is a common occurrence. I've lost my WhatsApp! database several times now, and a few others as well.
Is this just me, or is CyanogenMod 11 this crappy for other people too? I can't find a way to prove to myself that this is a hardware problem, the Android Stability Test app just keeps going and going. I've been watching adb logcat during a crash, and nothing interesting is output. Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this?

Try without encryption. It's hardly useful and only causes issues on Android.

We'll have to disagree about the usefulness of encryption, (I like that if my phone is powered off, my data is PRIVATE until and unless my passphrase is entered) but I'll wipe the phone this eve, TRIM it, and get setup on it again without encryption.

Maybe it's useful if you have something important on your device, but really, if you do, it shouldn't be kept on your phone anyways.
On Android, encryption is nothing but trouble, maybe it doesn't cause issues right away, but eventually it'll cause many. If you really wanted to keep things secured then I don't see why you would unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery and install a custom ROM.

CyanogenMod has Privacy Guard, which is another feature I'm using, mostly with the aforementioned WhatsApp!, which has a list of permissions longer than my arm. I don't like it, but I need it for work.
I'll grant that the custom Recovery and ROM may slightly weaken the encryption (specifically an attacker could alter the ROM from Recovery), but even so having the encryption makes the phone a million times more resistant to data theft and tampering than not having it. It's worth noting that tweaking the ROM is the _worst_ an attacker could do. If I suspected such a thing had happened I could re-unlock the bootloader (which would wipe my data), and re-flash a known good Recovery and ROM. I'd lose my data, but even if the attacker had dumped the partition they still wouldn't have my key, and my data would still be private.

And the phone has crashed twice today. I'm going to repeat my original question - is anyone running Cyanogenmod 11-M on their Nexus 5, and if so is it stable? Should I be RMAing this phone, or should I try reverting it to stock first?

its more then likely the encryption. Disable it, re-flash and see what happens

No encryption. Wiped and trimmed the phone yesterday, now 4 crashes.

Try another ROM, see if it crashes. If it still does, flash factory images and see if it still does.
If so, RMA.

Nothing but trouble for me since upgrading to m9. I have been using the various M builds since March with no problems. M8 was fine. No device encryption for me. I tried turning it on and instead got stuck redoing the whole phone.
Now I get frequent crashing. I switched to the most recent nightly yesterday. Apps stopped crashing. However the os itself still crashes. Several times the screen wouldn't turn on after removing it from my pocket. The light was blinking so it definitely didn't just turn off. It also has stayed black after a few (but not all) phone calls. I've had to hard reset every time to recover.
Thinking about reverting to m8 backup. Willing to give it a few more nightie and see if it works out.

Where did you get it? I'm using the stable M9 snapshot off the CM site for hammerhead and it works pretty good.

Got it from the OTA update. Unfortunately I'm not experienced enough to know how to debug it or use proper logs. It could be that its an app I'm using combined with the most recent update...

Im using M9 snapshot too and i have not had 1 problem its been excellent

No problems for me on the M9 snapshot either. I'm coming up on 100 hours of uptime. Have you tried another kernel? I've always found that the stock CM kernel isn't the best. I'm using ElementalX 1..04 and it works pretty great.

+1. I installed another kernel (Chaos) for that reason and it's way faster.
OP: Maybe a bad flash? I would download M8 latest stable snapshot, and do OTA upgrade to M9. That's how I got mine.

Thanks for the suggestion. I actually have been using elemental and forgot to install it after the OTA. Will put that on now and see if it helps.

And the phone has crashed twice today. I'm going to repeat my original question - is anyone running Cyanogenmod 11-M on their Nexus 5, and if so is it stable? Should I be RMAing this phone, or should I try reverting it to stock first?

cyanogenmod is not what it used to be. it ALWAYS has one type of issue or another.

Yeah it'll never be like the GB days. There's either audio problems, crashes, or other random problems. It's sad because people are expecting it to be like it was in old days. CM is not for stability, you can quote me on that.

last four hours have been fine since adding elemental. Hopefully works in the long run. 8/18 nightly.

What roms do you think are more stable than CM at this time?
