Nexus S freezes randomly

Hi guys,
I have a unlocked and rooted Nexus S i9023 bought around last week. Since then, I have experienced my phone freezing a couple of times already.
It happened to me at least 2 times on stock rom. And another 3 times on custom rom.
It freezes not during usage but during sleep mode. There will be times when I try to use my phone and I realised I cannot 'unsleep' it. All the 4 buttons at the bottom will be lighted up even in sleep mode. So usually when I see all 4 buttons lighted up in sleep mode it usually means it's frozen already.
Is this a common issue for Nexus S? Or am I the only one facing this problem?
Is there anyway to solve it? Or it is a hardware problem and I need to send back for repair?
Thanks for everything in advance

Are you on Android 2.3.3?

Yes I am. On GRI54 to be specific.

It just froze again. This time with WIFI tethering on.
When it froze, I realised I can still surf the website i'm currently on (which is xda-developers) but i cannot surf any other websites. Such as google etc. My laptop still shows that its connected to wifi after it froze though. Just that I can only surf one website.

Hi There,
Mine did this before but never on stock. I found going into recovery then Formatting Cache/Data/System and Dalvik cache then flashing the ROM solved it for me.
Another time I've noticed this is when I overclock the processor too much.

Mine happened on stock before, without overclocking.
Before I changed to custom rom (SuperAOSP), I wiped data/cache/dalvik cache
And the problem still arose.

It could well be hardware related then, try doing the above as I mentioned and see if it fixes it (it won't wipe your sd storage unless you select that option) if it doesn't I'd suggest you get a replacement

Will try that again and see if it works. Thanks.

there is a thread already that I believe describes your problem in more detail here:

Also here, same problem:

Google and Samsung seem to be ignoring the issue.

Atrix 2 - Official ICS - running very very slow these days - Help!

Hello Guys!
I own an Atrix 2 and am currently on Official ICS. My phone was working fine all along.
Recently I've noticed that the phone runs extremely slow many times. I have to power off & on many times a day to keep it functioning properly.
It is mostly sluggish these days and I don't understand why. I tried uninstalling recently installed apps but, nothing seems to be helping.
This is my first Android phone and am lost!
Any help would be appreciated.
Thx.

IF you think you phone is giving poor performance on official ICS then why don't you try custom roms . Read/Research on MIUI and I think you will get best performance. BUT READ TILL YOU UNDERSTAND EVERY ABOUT COUSTOM ROMS.

Hi,
What you are saying may be correct however, the same phone was performing superbly on Official ICS for around 6 months. It's been a few weeks that the phone has become sluggish.
I need to find out the root cause for this and rectify that.

You could try wipe cache...
Turn off the phone and then press and hold at the same time: the Power button, Vol up and Down Key until the bootloader screen comes up
Volume down to recovery and than hit Volume up to select
When the Android with the the Red Triangle appears push the vol up and down button together
Scroll to clear cache partition and push the power button
Wait for it to clear and than choose reboot once complete by pushing the power button.

It might be some rogue app.. Try uninstalling any app you installed recently.. Worst case, backup all apps and data, try a factory reset.. After that, restore only the apps you really need.. One by one when you get time and find out what was causing the problem..

Try downloading a Cache Cleaner like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.cache.cleaner. You could also make a titanium backup of all your apps and do a factory reset.

You might also try and do a FXZ and start over. It seems odd, sometimes that fixes all of the little oddities that pop up including slowness that shows up out of nowhere.

I faced the same problem a month ago. Opening Messages, Settings, EVEN PICKING CALLS, took 7-15 secs.
Turned out it was Android OS/ the Kernel. Whenever the WiFi status changed and some other reasons, the Android OS seemed to take 100% CPU usage for about 1-3 min. Also sometimes I had other processes such as kworker2, kworker3 and others. It took me many apps such as Watchdog, Systempanel, etc to find it out.
Even still I got tired and did a Factory Reset, Rooted it and installed Another ROM. Now its Working fine.
My suggestion would be a Factory Reset (Dont forget Backup if you need to). :good:

Tried the clear Cache Thing as well as uninstalled most of the apps which I never use. Phone started functioning good for some time.
But, now again the same thing.
Thinking about FXZ now. What is FXZ and how do you do it?
Factory reset I can consider but, does it really help?
I notice that the sluggishness starts when WIFI is on and the phone is connected to my home WIFI.

Out of curiosity - which rom are you now using? Do all features of the phone work?

Go to your wireless settings and "Forget" the home wifi connection. Reboot your router and phone, then sign back in to your WIFI.
If you are thinking about FXZ, then you might as well try the FDR first.
Start here and read and read again:

If you decide to go the FXZ route, please ask and confirm which firmware to use with your Atrix2. Many BRICKED their phones flashing the WRONG FXZ!

I think you should try MIUI
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2093882
Its the best rom i think and you will be very happy while using it.
I am using it from last 3-4 months.

slow atrix2 - email trash folder
I was having the same issue - tried wiping the cache (both via the system and with various cache wiping apps). Eventually I would get a slow atrix2 again. I noticed that the trash folder for my pop3 email accounts did not clean itself up, so I did a select all and deleted the messages from the trash folder. This was thousands of trash emails. Three days later and my atrix2 is still snappy. I'm hopeful that this was the issue.

UI Reboot Issue

I have been facing this issue since yesterday. I am running OB7 with stock kernel. The phone's screen suddenly turns black and gives the lockscreen password screen as if the phone has rebooted and all the apps are killed.
Anybody has any solution or facing this?

Hey, actually using last OOS beta 7, facing the same issue since at least ytd.
Glad to see that i'm not alone

I have had that a couple times since the release of 9.0 and with 9.02 both Official, not OB. I try to reboot my phone every 2 or 3 days and sometimes I forget and it seems to happen if my phones up time is above 6 or 7 days.

I just wiped cache, will let u know if it worked or not

OnePlus 6 Rebooting Apps, Black Screen
My partner got her OnePlus 6 brand new one week ago, and just tonight it started experiencing the same problems as the OP described. According to her she updated to the latest OS software on day one, and it all worked as it should for the past six days until a couple of hours ago. It does that reboot-like thing about 8 times an hour right now. We're on the fence on if we should return it to the online retailer as we're on the last day. Reformatting to factory settings didn't fix anything. Hoping someone finds a solution.
Edit: It's a stock OnePlus 6 Mirror Black phone & operating system OOS 9.0.2, using common social networking apps. I just joined this forum and this is my first post.

Weird...
Actually, 0 reboot since the cache wiped

Hope that continues to work. As for us, we tried wiping the cache an hour ago. It didn't help in our situation. It's currently "rebooting" so much, it's unusable.

Had the same issue since yesterday
Only solution i found was to remove google and whatsapp from beta and to do a hard reset.
Reset solved my problem
Things i tried before reset-
1)Settings reset
2)clear cache
3)restart
Only solution was a reset without erasing internal.
Hope y'all come to the same result.

Still ni reboots since i wipe the cache, looks like it was enough for me... Hope it will

Hard resetting doesn't work in our case. As a last resort, I'm currently trying a OxygenOS ROM downgrade, or if I can't do that, upgrading to Open Beta 7. The latter of which I'm trying, but the phone restarts mid-update constantly. Not even safe mode stops the rebooting during the update.

Let us know if it worked,
Actually had 2 reboots since ystd cache wiped

We had to return the OnePlus 6 before today ended because of the small 7 day store warranty (living in the Philippines). After I couldn't even install the ROMs in Safe Mode because of restarts every minute now, there didn't seem to be anything I could do. Hoping the next OnePlus 6 we get in three weeks doesn't have this issue.

I've had such issues with OB8 & OB9, probably with OB7 as well - can't remember.
Wiped cached many times, changed kernel and so on.
Actually, OB8 was a fresh install as well.
UPDATE
I reverted back to 5.1.11 and then updated to 9.0.2, so far so good. I'll post updates in the next few days.

If this is still under warranty, might as well take it to the Xiaomi Service Center.
But just FYI, I have installed LOS on my X3 Pro and the time where it suffered a random boot was because there was an app that conflict with the system. Once I remove that app, no more random reboots.

Same problem happened to me as well, and changing the firmware fixed it. I think if you install the recommended firmware version for the ROM you want to download, it will be solved.

I have granted true caller access to pop up during the incoming calls. After that my poco starts to reboot automatically during a phone call and check in the true caller. Then I uninstalled the true caller now. I hope it will be fixed now!

You may have a buggy PMIC....
Go to a Xiaomi Service Center with stock and locked bootloader before it's too late

brick soon

I had the exact same problem, my phone (poco x3 pro) was rebooting randomly every 6-7 times a day. The problem was that the pmic was faulty-broken. After a week the device just froze in a grey screen and that was it. It got hard bricked. So i suggest to do a quick backup if your device is rebooting randomly because... It will brick soon

Ok, I had had this problem as well, the phone was bricked, sent it to service centre and came back after like 2 weeks. That was 9 months ago, now the phone is rebooting automatically as well. I've noticed some things tho, the phone wouldn't reboot if i was using the phone, like watching video, browsing,playing games etc. But it would restart if i kept it standby, i didn't notice it rebooting when i set it to charge, but it would reboot when i plugged it off. One more important thing, the phone won't reboot if i used it on safe mode, i used for like an hour or so, and it didn't reboot(maybe I'll need to check more)

It might be a tough pill to swallow, still, your phone is going to get bricked soon. Ive tired all most all solutions. Be it master reset, trying in safe mode,uninsatlling the recent update, clearing the theme manager. It had a mother board issue, thats y, poco india head extended its warranty from 12 to 18 months even after the production was stopped. you can check the twitter handle.the soc costs about 10.5 k , but the poco ASC are asking not to proceed.better opt for a new mobile.

faced the same issues... phone got bricked finally

Question Experiencing random restarts?

Is it only me or something common? (P7P)

I haven't had any, and my wife hasn't said anything about this happening with hers, either. We've had ours for two weeks today. I'm rooted, hers is with the bootloader still locked.

Have not had a random restart since I got the phone.

Alright, possibly one of the root modules is causing some problems. thanks for the info.

Rooted, no restarts.

I have been experiencing them regularly... Usually right after i try and make a call ...
This is the first time i ever saw something like this.... Does not inspire confidence!

Factory reset and use the phone with little to nothing installed and see if it still happens. If it does try a sim from another provider. If you still get them you have a faulty handset so RMA it.

I haven't experienced it with the Pixel 7 Pro but it happened sometimes with the 6 Pro.

Got one restarts just after freeze for 30 second twice. Rooted kirasakura kernel and despair both happen once

Hasn't happened once in the two weeks I've had it.

Well this is absolutely rediculous.. HORRIBLE support... Google Support wanted me to run the phone in SAFE MODE for a "a few days" to make sure it wasn'ty a third poarty app causing the reboots.. and if it still happens i will have to run around trying to find a service center to "look at the phone" eff that... Take itr back and i will go back to OnePlus or Samsung..... HORRIBLE first experience with a Pixel ... ABHORRENT

I still have one Day on my 14 day return window so i am returning the sucker and getting my money back.. I am not paying 1500$ CAD for a phone that randomly reboots when i try to initiate a call...

I had 1 random reboot during a VOIP call. Didn't notice it till my headphones told me they were disconnected, lol.
This was full stock, unlocked and rooted the day after.

How is that horrible support? 90% of the time it is user error. As a few post above mentioned. Wipe phone and try it with minimal apps installed. They want you to run it in Safe Mode for a reason, if still happens send it in or find a service center. I wouldn't call that horrible support.

Bare in mind this is probably thye first phone i have owned since my nokia days back in the early 2000's that is -NOT- rooted , bootloader unlocked or anything of the sort !(Yet)

I have my P7P now since the 13th of October and I had no random reboot during this time. Everything is running smooth and stable. My phone is not rooted.

I've only noticed phone crashes when using Android auto. When I try using apps that change the font and display size, that's when I run into reboots. My phone is rooted with multiple magisk modules

Just a data point: I haven't had any phone crashes when using Android Auto on the Pixel 7 Pro.

More specifically, whenever I change the screen to large screen on an app like Paramount Plus, or some other video viewing app. This is when I get the phone reset
