Edited for the third time. Apparently Ididn't fix my problem.
So I'm running Cyanogenmod 10.3 on a Samsung Galaxy Tab2 10.1 (p5113***), and for some strange reason, my tablet keeps restarting randomly. I'd be reading a PDF or scrolling through some random app, and it'd suddenly freeze and the tablet would restart.
This all happened after I was typing a message on the Facebook app when it abruptly freezes and puts me through a restart loop that eventually ended. But when I finally got to startup without a crash, I'd see, almost immediately, a notification telling me that "Trebuchet has stopped responding", and my only option is to hit Ok. And I do, and most of the time, it crashes right afterwards.
At first, I was able to 'fix' (I think) this by freeing up space on my internal storage, because an app was on an update loop trying to install an update that was too big for whatever space I had left. I assumed it was eating up memory, space, and RAM and overwhelming my OS, so I uninstalled it and everything worked fine for most of the night. Later, I was reading a PDF file when Adobe just stopped working, froze, and put me through another restsart loop.
Also, I would like to point out that it is extremely difficult to turn this tablet off. It usually loops a few times before shutting down. Also, CM is updated to the latest STABLE update, which is not at all recent.
All this after Facebook crashed. I seriously have no idea what I do, and I would rather not reinstall CM, because it was an ADVENTURE trying to install it the first time, and I heard it's even more difficult and dangerous to uninstall and restore to factory settings. I'm not really good at this stuff.
Please help. Please.
*** Apparently my tablet is p5110, and the version of CM I installed was compatible with p5113, but it managed to work anyways, so I just shrugged and let it happen. And it has been working for the past 14 months, prior to the Facebook crash that started this mess.
Don't mean to bump, but I'm only replying to myself to show that my original post edit is now moot, because the problem resurfaced ... help.
I don't have a solution to you, but will share my own experience on the 5113. I have two of them. One has been stable since I bought it, except for a brief time when it had the awful first 4.2 update, eventually fixed by the MK3 firmware update. It's working fine. My other one has been a nightmare all year long, after six or eight months of stability after I bought it.
I've installed CM on in, in early June. Unstable.
I've installed Omnirom on it shortly afterward. It was more stable, but still not "stable."
Installed Ripper Rom. Worked of a couple days but was ultimately unstable.
I've recently flashed it back to the MK3 firmware via ODIN. It's still unstable.
I've determined it must be some hardware fault in the tablet, and I'm going to sell it for parts. I've bought an ASUS transformer TF701T tor replace it.
I wish you luck and hope your problem is software only. But I've heard many of these tablets go unstable after a while, and fear it is a hardware thing.

Has anyone else had a problem with WwF force closing the past couple of days? Not sure if there was an update to it or not, but as of yesterday, any time I try to play, I get a FC. Uninstalled and reinstalled, cleared cache, fixed permissions, no change. I even did a Superwipe and installed a different ROM (was having issues with Revolution anyway), and even on a clean install, with no restored apps, just downloading WwF by itself, I get a FC.
Not the end of the world, but I play this every day and I'm stumped on how to fix it if it's something on my end.
Edit: Looking at the log, it looks like one of my current games is causing the error, returning a number from the Zynga side at some point that isn't an integer, which is causing the game to crash when writing to the DB. Guess I'll have to wait til one of those games ends.
It happened to me too. I've done every from re-installing it to the compatability mode and it still crashes on me.
Me too. Looks to be program problem. Everyone noting this in the market. Does anyone have a previous release?
Well good to know it's not just me, I can stop trying to fix it myself now Weird thing is, it's just the tablet version -- the one on my Evo 3D works fine, and I'm pretty sure it's been updated as well.

ive been having issues with my wff taking a long time to update i also have the app on my phone and it updates much quicker on there vs the tablet any ideas?
Yeah same here. Maybe it's just that the synchronization is off -- I think it checks every 5 minutes, so the 5 minute loop on my phone may be happening at the 1 minute mark on my tablet. Wish you could manually refresh.
I wrote Zynga with the trace details about the error, hopefully others have too and they'll get this worked out soon.
It looks like an update came through overnight. It looks like it's working again on my Asus EEE Pad Tablet again.
Hi guys, i was playing a game called F18 Carrier Landing, when my phone froze. I long held the power button so that it could reboot. After it rebooted, i unlocked it, and it gave me the interface as if i freshly flashed a new rom or i did a factory reset (the interface asking about google and setting up accounts). So, i completed that and once my home screen popped up, i faced a few force closes, from titanium backup, my anti-virus software Avast, and various other applications. I was very freaked out at this point. I remember reading something about fixing permissions if i faced constant force closes, so i rebooted to recovery and fixed permissions. Booted up fine, still missing data, but no force closes. But my google maps does not seem to work, i open it and it opens to the orange-ish checkerboard backing, but then force closes. I'm not exactly sure what to do at this point. Can anyone advise me on what to do or if this ever happened to them? For reference, i'm still on Froyo (don't ask why) 2.2.1, ROM's Audiophile Redux by Raver. If you require additional info to help me find a solution, i will gladly comply. Thanks!
EDIT1: I uninstalled my Maps with Titanium and restored a really old version from September of last year, and it seems to be working. Or atleast it opens and loads.
EDIT2: It seems to only load apps stored on my internal/phone storage. As i checked Applications in settings, the SD tab was empty as if there are not apps from the SD card installed, what can i do about this?
This has happened to many of us on GB. Crazy it happened on Froyo. You are going to need to reinstall your missing apps. If it is similar to what happened to us your phone factory reset on it's own.
Alright thanks, when it happened i thought it was a pretty serious problem, but as i restore my apps from Titanium, i realize it's not that bad. Just glad to know i wasn't alone on this ordeal. I plan on hopping onto AOKP or maybe MIUI when my contract ends, this phone is just to valuable to me at the moment. They both seem so fast and amazing, plus AOKP has themes. K, so quick question, do you know the reason behind this, i mean, is my SD corrupted or something? I can still play the music and the videos from it on my phone, but i don't understand why it wouldn't read the apps on the SD.
None of us have nailed down the cause unfortunately.
Thanks anyways, up and running with most of my apps back. Gotta get around to flashing a new ROM someday. So many good one's coming out!

So I updated to 4.4.2 about a month ago with a guide from here. Had minor issues with Google Play not working properly, keeps telling me "can't play stream", or "can't play selected track" halfway through playing. When it works fine on my Asus table and my Surface pro just fine. Aside from that, all of a sudden I can't get into recovery. It's like it doesn't exist anymore. I noticed this yesterday when I tried to root my phone with ioroot. I can use ADB to reboot the phone into recovery, but it flashes for 2 seconds like it's loading something. But doesn't go any further. It's quite annoying and perturbing. I'm wondering if it's worth to just reflash back to 4.2 or 4.3? Or if you guys have any other insight or helpful tips?
Anything is much appreciated.
Basically what the title says. I own a snapdragon P905 version and I'm experiencing sleep of death on the device. It was rooted before but then the problem started ocurring and I did a factory reset but that didn't fix the problem.
Any ideas would be apreciated.
SOLUTION
It seems that reflashing a stock firmware form SAMMOBILE solved the problem for me. At least no problems ocurred since I reflashed it. Cheers, I hope it helps someone else too.
EDIT: Nop, that didn't solve it, the SOD was back after an hour or so... back to the drawing board...
What changed in that hour? Perhaps an application that was recently updated by it's developer is causing issues?

No, BUT, it seems i made a mistake by not wiping the device because, after I used ODIN to flash the alternative firmware my data wasn't deleted and I didn't have to setup the device or my apps.
Note that I have only the bare essentials installed on the tablet (Dolphin browser, facebook, battlefield battlelog, battlefield commander, BS player, splashtop 2, and hancom office - not the viewer).
I've read on some other devices the wifi module causes the SOD, I'll try disabling the wifi first. If that doesn't work I'll try installing TWRP and wiping cache/dalvik to see if that brings me anywhere. If not, I'll start picking off my apps one by one.
I didn't have enough time to do any of the things I said I'd do in the last post BUT, the Sleep Of Death was gone for 3 days untill I installed facebook and dolphin browser yesterday. Now it's back again!? I uninstalled both apps but the SOD is still here. No clue on how it went away on its own, and why it won't go away again...
I'm still looking for some fresh ideas.
EDIT: It seems that factory reset does the job, and I can install my basic apps and it works fine for a day... BUT if I leave it over night I can't turn the screen on in the morning, and the SOD is back every time after that.
EDIT 2: It was the broken micro sd card I frogot I put into the tablet...
Same here. Didn't happen at first. Now when screen goes off, I have to reboot. I am certain I will track this down.... But it's currently frustrating

@canezila - Perhaps a corrupted SD card as noted in cavkic's last update?
I don't believe it is this. As best that I know, it's working well.

So here is what I'm dealing with. A couple of weeks ago apps on my phone kept crashing. I was seeing a constant "Google Play Services has stopped" message and I was completely unable to use my phone. I ended up saying screw it and I did a factory reset.
The problem was still happening after a reset so I figured I should do a full wipe (Dalvik, cache, system, data) and reinstall the ROM (Cyan 11). Unfortunately that still didn't fix the problem.
Since then I've tried everything. I've ran "Fix Permissions" which seemed to work for about a day and then it started again. Sometimes rebooting the phone fixes the issue for a day but it always comes back. It's not always Google Play Services. It seems to be any random app on my phone that starts to constantly crash. Sometimes this happens from the phone's home screen, other times when I go into the app (gmail seems to be a problem more often than not). The phone was also just randomly rebooting, sometimes a few times a day and sometimes when trying to update apps I'll get various errors (package not signed, error 960, etc).
I finally decided that Cyanogenmod might be the problem. I've replaced my recovery (was CWM) but now I have TWRP. I downloaded Paranoid's latest ROM for the S3, did a factory reset, wiped Dalvik, system, data and cache. I also told TWRP to fix the file system in hopes that it would help and then I told it to Fix Permission.
Once I installed the ROM and the Google Apps, phone boots, I sign in....apps start crashing. I'm so lost. I don't know what else to do. Why would a phone that is freshly wiped have problems with apps crashing. This was happen with both Cyanogenmod and Paranoid. I'm running the same version/download of Cyanogen on my gf's S3 and it's been fine. The phone has been rooted since I got it almost 2 years ago and running Cyanogen this whole time. I only switched to Paranoid in hopes it would fix this problem.
Does anyone have any ideas on something I should try? Right now my phone is a pain to use, I'm constantly clearing crash pop ups and then just today it suddenly lost my google account and all my data was gone. No contacts, gmail empty, etc.
Silly but serious question, is play services installed? I've seen several people try to install Google Apps without play services installed and it will give this error without it being installed. I can't produce a screen shot for you as I'm not on a locked bootloader

Well, although I've never specifically installed Google Play Services, it should be part of the Google Apps zip file I'm flashing along with the ROM. This is happening with 2 different ROMs with their respective Google Play App zip files.
I also just checked and it is listed in Apps>All.

Alright, I've seen this issue on several different posts. Just a suggestion, it's worth a try at this point.
Try removing play services from the system file, make a backup first. Reboot and then reinstall the backup you made, it should push it back into data/app
From my CM11 S3
Certainly can't hurt. I'll give it a shot this evening and see if it helps.

By chance did you get a moment to try this?
From my CM11 S3
I didn't. I don't know why but the phone seems to be working correctly now. I don't understand why. I didn't do anything but suddenly things aren't crashing. It's been stable for 24 hours now. I didn't do anything so I don't know why but I'm just holding off until I see a crash. Still confused but glad it's working (except my GPS).
I'm honestly afraid to reboot it now. It hasn't worked this well in weeks. Normally I'll open gmail and get a crash 99% of the time. I reboot and it works for a bit but then starts crashing again. Same thing with other apps. Maybe it heard me talking about wanting to throw it out a window and it's got scared. =)

As long as it works that's all that matters. That is odd that all of the sudden it started just working fine
From my CM11 S3
Yeah, just like how it 'broke'. It was working one minute and then suddenly throwing crashing all over. This phone is possessed. At least I can upgrade in April. If I see the problem return, I'll try the above suggestion and report back.

I know that feeling, I've soft bricked mine more than once. Thankfully I just recently ditched VZW so I'm not locked down to there phones anymore. I kept my S3 and took it with me
