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.

The vibration is a notification that you are running low in nemmoey and using too much. Check your apps it happens to me too only when I'm browsing and trying to open too much tabs

Ergh... no....
It was exactly word for word:

Wipe Dalvik Cache
So you put a check mark to tell it to do so.... Been flash roms almost a year now since the captivate.... I would think to do how to do that

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..

Problem with the drop menu(notification area)

Hello...since a couple of days,the drop menu dont work,i mean it doesnt slide down anymore...first,an reboot fixed a couple of times,but now not event that doesnt have effect...i have an untouched stock droid charge.....thanks in advance

There's a possiblity the touch screen is starting to go out. What I would do first off is factory data reset, because there's also the possibility its a program interfering. After fdr, if the problem still exists, then that rules out the possibility of program interference. You'll need to get in contact with vzw and tech support will tell you to factory data reset yet again,and then send you a replacement

It's not your digitizer if the touch is working fine elsewhere. Your framework apk is likely corrupted, but not enough to warrant a force close, which is why you can see the dropdown bar but not pull it down. I would try flashing a stock ROM, or if you're not comfortable with that taking it back to Verizon.

Agreed. But I should mention that systemui controls status bar. But a factory reset should fix the problem.

Any idea what's causing this

It's like my radio sleeps sometimes. This screen shot shows no data. Once I wake my phone data reconnects. I don't think this is caused by no signal.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium

Looks like you live in a so so signal area, the closer it is to green then the greater your signal is. I would think that's an issue with the towers in your area cuz as you know the signal fluctuates often even while sleep.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

Thanks. I don't understand why it shows no signal when there was signal. As soon as I woke the phone it reconnected to the tower. There's a delay when it switches from 4g, 3g and 1x....This long area of red was probably the phone stuck in the delay between switching? While trying to submit this post I just lost data in a strong 4G area..... I don't get it.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium

How often within a day/week does this occur? That's still odd behavior that you lose signal or notice signal degradation while sleeping.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

This happens once or twice per day. Seems to happen in areas with less than great signal, that's why I think it is maybe getting stuck in the transition between 3g and 1x. No idea why it stays stuck once I move to an area with better signal.... Seems like the radio is sleeping until I wake the device.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium

It happened to me before. Try to go to flight/airplane mode and back. It should reset everything. I also sometimes press and hold the home button , then remove all applications and go to ram memory and clear it.

That does work but we should not have to do that in the first place. Hopefully a update will fix the data problems.

Are you stock? if no, what ROM are you running? Are you rooted? what apps are installed.
If you have CWM recovery, i would try to wipe cache and reboot, see if it helps at all?? if you don't have much installed, i would say do a full system restore...

one other thing, are you losing data, ie; not getting text and or phone calls? Also, check to see if you have any battery savers checked. Might be just a method of saving battery by shutting off data until it is needed.

I am on stock not even rooted. Phone is a week and a half old.... I am willing to wipe data if you think it would help.

As far as I know I am not missing phone calls or texts. Power saver is turned off. I am basically running the phone the way it came brand new (not many apps, no root, no unlock.... Yet).
Thanks for the replies. Any chance a factory reset would help? My mute/vibrate functions in settings do not mute the phone either... Still get audible notifications and phone rings like normal. Unrelated to the data issue but still weird for a new stock phone.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium

I'm not going to lie. I don't know if it will help or not. But if you are stock and got nothing to lose it would give it a shot. Can't hurt? Also, as others have said, it sounds ds like it could be because of signal strength. A lot of variables though.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

Data wipe did not fix the mute problem. I am very annoyed. Will see how my radio acts today after the wipe.

Just found a post on Verizon's forum regarding this problem. Apparently I was right when I said there was a issue when switching from 4g/3g/1x.

Now before I say this I want to make it clear that I am not representing Verizon or Samsung in any way with this post, I am just updating the users on what I have identified from the test of my device on this reported issue.... So with that said you can take this accordingly..
Ok everyone about the reported connection issues reported, I recently have been able to duplicate the signaling issue reported on my S3 and it appears to be miner for me at the moment but I can say that it is present.. I recently attempted to isolate the bug and I learned that when I placed it in my test rig to monitor the device in the weakest area in my house the software would temporarily powers down the radio for a few seconds that causes the device to loose all connections (Wifi, Bluetooth, 4G and some times also the network connection), this only happens in a weak connection area and it does appear it could be a software related bug with how the radio drivers handles switching the connection from one connection to another.
From the test results this does not appear to be a hardware issue but I do agree that this could be a pain for a user on the border of a 3G and 4G connection because any connection change causes a crash or radio and force restart.
I have reported this to CS and it appears to be a situation that is being looked into and a solution is possibly in the works... Eventho this isnt a major issue for me at this time, I hope to see a update to address this soon.

check any settings you may have done in the "Profiles" option? is that on a option in settings on the stock rom, lol, cant really remember

What a joke. This really irritates me.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium

This is frustrating. I have lost signal now two times and needed a reboot to get it back. When I did, I was not only losing data, but phone also. I would get this barrage of texts and missed calls.
I am rooted and unlocked, so there in itself could lie a problem, but it comes without warning and the phone appears to be working. Would the SIM card really effect that?

Phone freezes and lag issues??

Sorry I am a long time reader on the forums and obviously just joined the site so I could start being a part of the community, anyways hello everyone and on to my question.
I have the ultra and thanks to the flawless work of jcase I ran the root perm method. Everything seemed to be nice and fine, recently however I have noticed that my phone goes through odd "freezes" either when trying to slide the status bar down to see notifications (will slide down and I get no response, also get no response afterwords if I try to open an app) a reboot usually takes care of the issue however and I'm back to normal. Also have noticed from co-workers that when my phone does this freeze method, I also cannot get calls or txts from anyone. was just curious if anyone had also experienced this since rooting? Would a flash to stock and root again be in my future?

Yeah that's normally the route I've been going. As for now I have uninstalled closed framework and modules as I was noticing a few errors when running gravity box. Since uninstalling I haven't noticed any issues. Maybe xposed was just having fun toying with me. Now that there's safe strap and themer available I'm just going to leave that uninstalled thanks for the heads up and tip

[Q] Touchscreen issue?

Hello! Sorry if my English is not great, it's not my first language.
I have a Prestigio 3400 Duo and I have two issues with my touchscreen, the multitouch function in particular. My phone is freshly factory reset, done while trying to solve this problem, and
The first problem is pretty apparent, when I'm holding two fingers on the screen in a horizontal line it registers only one point at the center of the two I'm actually pressing (that's what a multitouch test app sees, at least). This happens exclusively in an horizontal line.
The second problem I have is when I'm holding two fingers on the screen and I let one go, the other one - the one that's still holding - is not getting registered for an instant before appearing again. So when, say, I'm playing a game on the phone and my character walks and I press a button at the same time, the character stops for a second. Really annoying stuff.
Is there any solution for either of these? I saw some fix for other phones but they're exclusively for those, not mine.

Well I don't know if it was something that I've done that caused this, I don't play many games so I've noticed it only recently. I can tell you that for a while the phone was rooted - now it isn't - but I've never installed CFWs or stuff like that.

Thank you, but there's no stock rom or a tutorial there, so...

I'm bumping the thread, hoping that someone that knows how to fix the problem can see this.
I'd like to at least solve the second problem, because the first one is barely noticeable to me. I basically can't play any game with the second issue because it's really annoying. I read that sometimes these kinds of problems are when you have an app that is used to block the touchscreen of the phone, but I've never used any of those so I don't know.
