Phone goes into flights mode randomly - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Sometimes I will pick up my phone to do something, and it's in flight mode. I know for sure that it didn't happen on accident (if that's possivke), and it has happened on multiple roms and kernals... Stock, beast and Juggernaut/stock, synergy, bullet and jugs.
Any ideas?????

Weird Vibrations

I have a weird problem with my phone. Every so often, my phone wjll vibrate twice, in two really short bursts that arent powerful at all. It is completely random. And whenever im playing music, it will stop the music for 5 seconds. If anyone knows what this is it would be greatly appreciated because this is happening on my new phone, as well as my last two galaxy s 2's (ive gotten 3 replacements)

I think this happens to me too, may just be my head, but I really do believe.
Do you get a notification?

What apps do you have that give off frequent notification? Do you have facebook, friendcaster, word w/f, etc.? Can you give us a small run down?
you can also download betterbatterystats (free here on XDA) and look at what frequently runs perhaps it appears as a wakelock.
or you can always look at logcat

It's a kernel crash. It's a part of android. It usually happens to let you know that it crashed but android reloads where it last left off. Hence the reason for the gap in music. If you press home immediately after you will catch it trying to finish reloading.

Is there anyway to fix it? Cause i happens like once every 10minutes

Try running master's kernel cleanser and reinstalling the kernel, that's a place to start

You will have to root first... Unless someone with more experience chimes in with a different idea

Is the same app running every time it happens? It may be a 3rd party app that isn't completely compatible running on your phone. Try deleting any third party widgeta.. then going into your task manager and clearing your memory. Then add one widget at at time til it starts doing it. If it doesn't do it, then open one of your e eryday apps at a time till you have the vibrating again. You may find some crappy lil app that you installed is causing all the problems.

Screen not timing out

So I noticed this a few days ago. I have the screen set to time out after 30 seconds. It will work for a while and then it will no longer time out. If i reboot the phone everything goes back to working order. Ive tried this with and without smart stay on and got the same results. I do not have any applications installed that would cause the screen not to time out, plus it works from time to time. Any ideas as to why it may be doing this?
This has been happening to me lately too... Don't really know what could it be.

Yes I'd also like to know as it is a bit annoying and killing my battery if I dont catch it!
This used to happen to me too. I even returned phone and it started happening again. This seems to be a bug. I flashed a new rom and it never happened again

I'm having the same issue but the app didn't fix anything. It only started the last week or two, and I've only been using CM10 and nothing else. I've flashed the different radios, including the new one, the L7? Did that today and still haven't noticed any thing different.
Not sure if it's the ROM after a certain date or something.
I have always had roaming on and national roaming on too. Never had issues in getting 4G until the data started cutting out completely.
Any other suggestions? I don't think apps are going to help.
It also seems that I'll have WiFi when the phone is on, but when I put it to sleep, it switches to data. When using data in the car and I put the phone to sleep, then it goes from data to no-data.
Real frustrating.

That app is just a gimmick... why else would it hide the status bar? It most likely just toggles airplane mode like i have been.
same issue also I am on codefirex 11/11/12 build. for me I will lose 3g after approx 30 mins of use and then no service....so I reboot the pH and I get 3g back.

Can't bring up open apps from home button

Have a weird bug that comes and goes and can't figure out why or how to fix it. Long pressing home should bring up all open apps and let you get to task manager. Most the times it works, but every once in awhile it will completely stop working. A reset fixes it or if i just wait awhile it will come back.
Anyone else get this or know of a fix? Home button still works, just not the long press

Wow so I'm the only one this occasional bug happens to?

It's always worked for me.
Always works for me, too. Was just using it last night before bedtime.
In my 2 weeks of my note2 this just happened to me last night. I have no idea why and it scared the hell out of me. I just rebooted and it hasn't reappeared. Don't really know what to tell ya =(
Im running jedi 3.1 rom w perseus kernel

Have you done a restart? If that doesn't fix it so a factory reset.

Restarting my phone fixes it, but its just annoying to do it to fix it. It shouldn't do it in the first place. Also it will come back and start working on its own too. Most of 90% of the time it works though
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
*bump* its been awhile, curious if anyone else has been getting this or has a fix other than restarting. I have to restart my phone every other day because sometimes apps like xda won't open and I can't close them in the background.

Does your s4 randomly reboot?

My gf got an s4 and it has randomly turned off and rebooted. She exchanged the phone once already for other issues but she says both phones were rebooting like this. She said it happens even with no apps from store installed. I thought it would be some kind of incompatible app causing an issue but maybe not. I have this phone and I am not experiencing this problem. Anybody gone through this?

Only time mine did was when i was tethering and charging, not to mention it was approx 85+ degrees. I forgot to put my icepack on it but other than that no i have not had any reboot issues. If you can easily re-create the issue, take it to a Corporate store and show them.
Has happen once with mine while i was on instagram for a bit
