i use AuraxTSense 8.0 with matching kernel and radio. Today I tried to "fix Permissions" using the ROM manager app since my friend brought it up. about 3/4 ways through it said there was an error and could no longer continue with the process. So i just exited the process and decided to just restart my phone, when i turned it on i no longer had any contacts, on my text messaging app it only showed the numbers of the people i was texting and when i went to my contacts it kept loading non stop. I then did a TitaniumBackup and after that restored a backup that i had done 2 days before. I went upstairs when the phone was restoring and when i came back downstairs i found the screen off, and it was vibrating nonstop. i immediately removed the battery and put it in again. when i did that it started the vibrating again. i waited 5 minutes with the battery out and decided to put it back in. it did not vibrate this time and is showing that it is charging. i am yet to turn the phone on but are these signs that the phone is bricked?
Thank You.
Turn it on and find out

Volume button on my HD was playing up for the last few days so I decided to reset the phone today via the power button just incase it might help, since then it hasn't started up again, I get 3 buzzes after I've removed and replaced the battery and then the amber light flashes constantly.
I was running CM7 for a while but went back to stock as I missed the sense UI so I should be on the most recent update.
It's a pain because I'm on holiday so have no access to my PC, I have access to Macs but I'm not sure there is even an HTC sync style application for that system.
Many thanks in advance for any help.
Ok, phone was left off for ~24 hours, battery totally flat, I switched it on and at screen came alive, unfortunately the sim hadn't been inserted properly and phone demanded I reset it, when I did back on the fritz, will give it another 20 minutes or so, hopefully will be back to the same state where I can start it again and go from there, were there any bad 2.3 updates that I possibly installed when I went back to stock?
So after figuring out my signal problem my phone worked great. I flashed CM10, bought Apex launcher Pro, tweaked some stuff, installed freedom then I went to sleep. I woke up to hearing my phone ring when I had turned it off the night before. (Technically it froze and I unplugged the battery because the hard reset woudn't work.) It wasn't the first time it froze, but it only froze while using freedom.
I wake up and it's on and working, but lagging so I decided to turn it off via power button. I go to reboot it and it loads into a black screen after just showing the lockscreen. It wouldn't let me do anything on this screen, so I decided to unplug the battery. I went to reboot and it won't. It won't even boot into HBOOT. I plugged it into a charger and it doesn't show the light as charging.
I found this problem on Verizon forums, but most of the people on those forums seem to only know how to call and text and that's about it. I know this is common, but is there any fix?
EDIT: I rebooted my phone several times with no problems. I just had to go to terminal and do "su" then "killall drmserver" to get the Play Store working.
Hey, I'm having serious issues with my GS3 lately, I got it a few months ago from Sprint's suckish replacement plan.
The problems started a few weeks after I got the device, so I can't send it back or else they'll charge me, I've tried flashing different ROMs and restoring to stock several times and nothing seems to work.
The problems are: The phone randomly shuts down(crashes?) and I have to hold the power button to get it to turn off and I just guess after a few seconds, let go and hold the power button down again to turn it back on, the lock screen freezes, I have to turn the screen on and off a few times before it responds, the phone randomly reboots, it just turns off and back on without any type of animation, it just simply does it, the phone also, in some reboots it optimizes apps as if I had just updated and sometimes it deletes my contacts and text messages.
I have no idea what's going on, I've been trying to bear this problem but I just can't take it anymore! >3<.
I've tried the "Ultimate freeze/crash" thread to no avail.
....
I just tried flashing the new MOAR Rom and it still keeps doing it, my phone runs fine for a few hours before one of the things listed above happens.
Bump...somone please help ;-;
Hello there. I have to write this again becuase the last topic I wrote didnt get posted...
I have a big problem with my G3 and I have tried everything I could but nothing helped so I hope you can help me.
First of all my phone is only stock. I didnt try rooting it or installing custom roms on it.
Heres the whole story of what happened:
A week ago my phone started to act strangely. When I tried turning the wifi off it restarted or froze for a bit and then went on normaly as if nothing happened. I didnt even have to input my pin. Then one day I got home and the phone simply started reseting itself constantly. Always loaded up to the pin screen but I didnt even have time to input the pin and it reset it self again. This went on for like 15 reset before I lost patience and pulled the battery which didnt help at all since after being turned back on it went back to the reseting. I found online that it was probably a battery problem but I was impatient (shipping to my country is over 2 weeks and buying a battery in stores here costs twice the normal price of a genuine battery but only for a "fake" battery) so I factory reseted it via power button+volume down. After that it worked normally but I lost all my data.
The day after this I spilled ice tea on the phone. I opened it, cleaned it and let it dry out. Turned it on after an hour of drying and it worked but after maybe 2 hours it began freezing. When I tapped on the screen it didnt react, when I pressed the power button it took more then 10 seconds to react to it. It turned on, didnt react to touch and then in mere seconds it went dark and then turned off. I couldnt even unlock the screen. Tried pulling the battery but then it wouldnt even turn on. It stayed on the LG logo. I left it on the logo and on the charger and after an hour or so it turned on and worked normally so I took it apart and cleaned it once more even under the screws and such and it worked after that. Until today.
The freezing problem returned. I was playing a game on it and chatting via messenger when the phone stopped reacting. I had signal, wifi, I got new notifications and basically everything on it worked but the screen didnt react to touch and when pressing the power button it took over 10 seconds to light up the screen, then it went darker and then it shut down. Couldnt do anything. After I pulled the battery it would get stuck in a boot loop for maybe 10-15 minutes and then load but the phone couldnt be used. Just as before the screen turned on with a delay but no reaction to touch whatsoever.
I tried factory reset, downgrading to a lower android version (from 6 to 4) with LGUP and lg flash tool, and I bought a new battery. Nothing worked. I managed to get it to android 4 but that didnt help either. I though it was a problem with 6 because the problem started after the update, before that I didnt have a single problem with my phone.
Now its in a state where it doesnt work. The phone is running, apps are upgrading after the factory reset and all that but I cant do anything with it. Once in a while it will work normally as if nothing but that is rare.
Could you please help ? I love this phone and I dont want to have to sell it for spare parts.
EDIT: I left the phone running to see what would happen an after several hours an error message appeared saying "Process system isnt responding". After pressing ok it worked fine. How can I fix this. I googled it but all I found was a problem with sd card (none is inside), with battery (I have a new one) and with rooting (mines not rooted).
So, a few weeks ago my phone started randomly saying that my Sim Card wasn't installed. I think nothing of it and just restart my phone each time. Then, the night after that started happening, I was laying in bed at like 8 pm, and my phone starts playing this random ass 80's song I've never heard in my life. The second I turned my screen on, it stopped.. So I went in and uninstalled literally every app that wasn't essential. I also checked to see if I had any processes running that could've caused it. Nothing. A few days later, sometime in the middle of the day, it starts playing ANOTHER random song. But this one was spooky as **** sounding. Samething happened, stopped as soon as I opened my screen.
Skip 2-3 weeks to today, nothing has happened, no sim card error, no music.. my phone is working as normal, I'm out riding on my motorcycle with my phone mounted on it. I decide to stop and turn on some music (connected to my Bluetooth headset) and the second I unlock the device, it freezes up. So I start just pressing the screen, trying to swipe. Then it says "Google App process has stopped responding" (or something along those lines), then says "System process has stopped responding". So I hit the power button, the screen turns off but it won't turn back on. I finally take the battery out and put it back in. I boot it up and I notice it says "Custom" and has a unlocked symbol underneath it. My phone seems to be working fine now, but what the **** is going on.
Halp
I'm just doing a full wipe when I get home. I feel as if my phone may have been compromised.
