Have you downloaded any new apps lately? Have you try clearing cache and davlik-cache? Maybe a reboot or a hard reset?
We're comin from a pure power source.

yes ive done all those..even wiped my sd card and installed new rom,stil does it. idk

When it's on and you turn the screen off, does it turn off on the first press (eliminating the power button itself as the problem)?

That's weird. I thought maybe the button is going bad, but then it would do the same thing when turning it off I would think.

From your description, it seems like a mechanical/hardware problem, but if you're able to rule that out somehow, go into recovery, wipe EVERYTHING except the SD card and then download and flash a rooted stock ODEXED rom from HERE. This is a close to stock as you can get without unrooting. If it doesn't work with this rom, I would unroot, restore S-ON and then take it in to your local Sprint store.

Browser trouble since 3.29 update

I just flashed the 3.29 software update yesterday and everything was great, but I discovered today that I have a new problem with the built-in browser - whenever a page is loading and I touch anything (like x or the back button) the browser instantly force closes.
What can I do about this? Could a different kernel (I'm on stock now) make a difference?
Any ideas are appreciated.

Go into manage applications force stop the browser and clear all data/cache then reboot and see if that helps.

I did what you said, but it hasn't fixed the problem, only made the force close delayed by a few seconds. What else can I try?

You can try booting into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik-cache then reboot. And if that still doesn't help I guess you could re-flash the rom or try an entirely different one.

Thanks for your help, man. I tried flashing a custom kernel and in the process I wiped cache and dalvik, but the problem has persisted. You think just reflashing the ROM could solve the problem?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Yeah that would be my next step...I'd wipe the important 3 then re-flash. Trying a different ROM wouldn't hurt either.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Thanks for your help. I think I'll reflash the current ROM. I like stock Sense UI.

ok... as long as your phone is rooted, it's easy to troubleshoot.

Freeze on restart

I did the offical ICS update when it came out but it was always a little slow responding, i had read that doing a factory reset would help so i backed everything up with titanium then did a factory reset, i then restored all data and it helped, but now when i either restart our turn off my phone it freezes at the goodbye screen, any ideas?

thats a known issue because our official ics is half baked. try flashing a different rom like darkside to see if it helps. sorry I cant give muxh better help :-/

It had no problems with restart after the ICS update, used it since it was released, I did the factory reset today and now it freezes.

Both wont hurt. Make sure use use TDJ's cache wipe to properly fix permissions too.
Use Darkside Cache Wipe and it will fix the hang problem.
Thanks Atmazzz, ICS now is awesome. I am still thinking about trying Darkside Evolution, I just wish the YouTube update was smoother.

Randomly restarting

I just downloaded mijjah? Jb goodnes and now I can't let my phone sleep or press the power button without it turning off and restarting. Sometimes it will stay at the Samsung Galaxy s2 screen and the other times it will just turn back on. I did a full wipe. How can I fix this

Sorry, some of us are rather busy these days... we try to still help as possible.
When in doubt I suggest getting into download mode. If you can get there then flash a FI27 full restore OC and see if that gets you back going again. If it doesn't then you may need to take the phone in for repair.
Could be a bad power button...

gps nav. not working

Rooted my lg and gps nav app will not find location and start navigation. Google Maps does locate me just fine. Anyone have an apk so i can try reinstalling or know of a way to get it working? I have a good 3g connection so i know it's not that.
Did you just root it? Did you install a ROM? Need more info to solve the issue...

Sorry bout that, just rooted it, haven't put a new rom on. it yet
Rooting shouldn't affect any apps. You can try clearing app data's in Maps and Nav. Maybe even turn on WiFi to help it find location faster.

Hold the power button down until it powers down to simulate a battery pull.
