Does this happen to you ?

Lately I've been really annoyed with phone, for some reason it just randomly reboots for God knows what reasons! Is this common or even a known issue ?

Are you running stock or a custom rom and kernel? I've never had a reboot with stock or on Starburst with lostkernel.

I dunno man, if that isn't happening without some 'aftermarket modifications', umm, I'd swap the damn phone. That isn't normal. I never get reboots unless I am overclocking on perf gov with everything maxed out...and that's pretty much it. If you are getting reboots just sitting there or dicking around on the internet that would be more than enough reason for me to take it in and swap it out...especially if you can reproduce the it for them.

Thanks for the replies guys, to answer your questions no I'm completely stock running stock kernel and it happens whenever I'm online or some apps will trigger it. I'd hate to restore but I think it's the only way

Ive had it a couple times.
It started after uploading app from market installing it while I was deleting one at same time
device crashed reboot took place.
From that point a had a couple reboots within days Touchwiz error displaying automatically going to phone keypad no escape from it.
I ended up doing factory reset fixed it all is well

did you by chance take an SD card out if another phone and pop it into that phone? if so, back up whatever data is on it, and try formatting it (if that cures the reboots, obviously something on the sd is corrupt and not cooperating with the system... dont restore anything from that backup you took after formatting) I would then try a facotry reset if the previous doesn't work. if the factory reset doesn't cure it, I'd swap the phone.

Thanks guys, I installed all the apps I could to the sd card. In other words all the apps were in the internal memory and that seems to fix the issue.

I'm not rooted and I'm getting random reboots.

[Q] Galaxy S 2 keps crashing! Help!

Okay, so i had the balck galaxy s 2 and it never had this problem, but i just got my white galaxy s 2 and every time i reboot, it freezes, and then comes up saying that power manager has crashed. Then nothing works, so i reboot and it does the same thing. I figured there was something wrong with the system, so i rooted and installed the Dewizzed rom, after 3-4 minutes of using it, it freezes, turns black, and then goes to the lock screen and it lost all conections to t-mobile/wifi. changed the rom to the juggernaut and the same thing happened.
Can anyone help? I don't know why this is happening. Never happened with my balck SGS2

probably just a faulty device dude.... return and get another is what I would do

Did you try factory reset? Wipe all data and cache before you flash a different rom?

I agree with the secobd person that posted an answer but theres another solution to it.... just get into download mode im sure you know how to do that... and use odin and flash back to stock... stock rom... that should fix everything.. thats what i do everytime something goes wrong with my fone...

There were problems on stock too. Plus for some reason, stock had a terrible lag. I gues if it doesnt resolve itself i will have to do another exchange (this is my 4th exchange) hopefully with mwc next month, t-mobile will get a few new phones and i will be able to get a working device . Anyways thanks for the help

Rooted, Now Shutdown Gets Stuck at Pink Goodbye Screen.

Hi all!
A few days ago I rooted my stock T989(ICS) using the galaxys2root method and everything went well. The only issue I ran into though, when I turn off my phone normally (hold power then shutdown), it will get stuck at the pink goodbye screen (as did about 3 others in the comment section of the GS2Root website). When I was unrooted, turning off the device normally, it would hangup a bit at the pink goodbye screen as well, only for about 30 seconds at the most though. In this current state, I've ran this over 5 minutes and it still stays at the pink goodbye screen.
I didn't see this to be too much of an issue since I use notification toggle, which has a a restart and power off toggle that I can access in the notification bar for rooted users. But last night I didn't charge my phone so it was dead when I woke up. The thing is, it was hot. So I'm thinking it got hung up on the pink goodbye screen until the very last drop of battery left. So it just worry's me in the long run if it happens again here and there of affecting the battery. It showed 0% when I plugged in to charge and did take a while to go past that number.
Some background:
-Completely stock rom and kernels (know nothing about flashing/intimidating to do for me as I don't want to ruin anything)-slowly looking into it though
-Only rooted because I wanted to save some game data.
-I've already done factory reset but it didn't fix the issue.
Hopefully any input will help out others with the same problem as well!

Darkside Cache Wipe always fixes my issues. It's said not to use CWM fix permissions or cache wipes. Using the Darkside also aligns your card.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

Thanks guys! So DarkSide it is then.
So in order to do this, it's essentially just like rooting, right?
This is how I'm thinking of it based on GS2Root's video:
-Boot into clockwork mod recovery
-Install zip from sd card
-Choose zip from sd card
-Find DarkSide Cache Wipe in where ever folder I put it in (which I finally found the download link and hoping this is the right one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1477955)
-Choose the zip and apply.
-Done?
Are these the right steps? Or is there anything special after and/or before that I need to do? Don't have to install the DarkSide rom beforehand?
Also, would I ever need to uninstall this for an update? I just read somewhere on my drippler app that t mobile or samsung will provide a future update for bug fixes, but not jelly bean.

That's correct steps then just reboot. It's a script that does what cwm should do plus more. It will wipe both cache partitions then properly fix permissions. It's not installing anything so it won't effect any future updates. Also doesn't matter what Rom your on, it's not specific. Just a fix for cwm not working correctly.

Perfect! Just fashed DarksideCacheWipe and everything worked fine after. Back to normal shutdowns once again. I upped those thanks meters for all of you. Thanks for the help everyone!

I did that and for me what had happened is that it would stall at the loading screen and not budge until I did a cwm restore. Can anyone explain what is going on?

I was having the issue with the phone hanging on goodbye screen and not shutting off. I ran the darkside wipe now hung on start screen. I'm fairly new can anyone help please.

darkside wipe deleted your rom and its data... thats what its designed to do.... do you cant go past the start screen because there is nothing to boot too... reflash your rom or get a different rom.

Did you run the superwipe as you are directed to do? it is a pretty simple process and it will not wipe your ROM.

Superwipe will in fact wipe your ROM. Cache wipe will not wipe your ROM, and will probably help with the reboot hangs.
Superwipe is for before you flash a ROM.
Cache wipe is for problems after an install.

Sms disappearing

Randomly while sending texts or receiving them, my texts randomly disappear or auto hide when I open the app. Other times you can see the messages for a split second then they will disappear saying "your message inbox is empty".
There are also times when I will be in a conversation Window and after replying to a message the message content will disappear and when I back out there will be no messages there either.
Anyone know what the hell is going on? I've restored, deleted cache including dalvik and even installed a new rom twice. The only reason I rooted was to fix this issue.

I am currently running Odexed blue by Team Vennum. I only flashed this rom and rooted because i lost all ability to copy/paste AND this started happening. I was "putting up with" not being able to copy/paste, but once this happened a few times on stock, it was the last straw.

Text messages failing to send after JB update.

I have been noticing all day today that randomly text messages will fail to send with full bars of service. Anyone else experiencing this problem after updating to JB? Never had a single text message fail to send prior to the update.

having this same problem too after the JB update. Stock Rooted Rom and unlocked. Might be an issue with the new radios.

Same. When the messages were "failing" they were actually getting sent three times in a row. I also had trouble receiving messages. This was the first time I have observed this problem.

Try updating prl

failed messages
When flashing is done, you have to update PRL and Profile.. it should fix those issues.
This is done through settings-->> system updates

I am already using the latest prl. I made sure of updating that and the profile right after the jb update. Seems like the problem has gone away for now at least. Hasn't done it today at all.

Same issue here, but sporadic. I also notice I am having network errors at times when trying to do any one of the system updates, but again, sporadic.

Has everyone got their jb update ? Still haven't received mine.

i have the exact opposite problem lol. in bad reception my text gets sent about four times

That's what I meant. When I have bad service it will say sending for a long time and sometimes it will say it failed but it sends multiple messages.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app

1st thing I did after flashing the update/radios was to update profile and prl. Happens sporadically here too.

other type of data issue.. but similar
Ok so my problem is that when using k9 mail and i try to email an exsiting contact, it fails every time. If i copy and paste the address into the email field, it works just fine.. Also my texting sends but it's slow to send... used to be semi instant, but takes several seconds. Any ideas, i have. updated PRL and Profile several times.

Texting
The only problem I have had with texting since the update us that when i try and hit send after typing text its greyed out not green...usually ill exit out of the stock app and go back in and do it again and it will send....usually have that problem few times aday...

Okay so this problem only happens when I am at work with decent signal. Doesn't happen anywhere else that I have noticed. Didn't happen before jb update. It is also sending multiple times my gf says.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app

See this happens to me at first when i was stock on ics. Messages triple send with latest prl and profile even though it showed sent once. It stopped with a different ROM. Both on lifeless and imperium initiative.

Same here. Texts often fail to send. And it's a toss up, sometimes when it says it failed, it is received and sometimes not. What I've figured out, is that it's mostly on short messages, consisting of 1-3 words! Long messages almost always send fine. MMS, no problem either. I've updated profile and PRL and done a soft reset. I've tried other messaging apps, like Chomp and GoSMS, no dice. Never happened until the JB update.

I made a thread about this a week ago. I did not see this one.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2205523. Still no fix from sprint or have I found any true fixes on here yet. Has to do with the new radios that came with jellybean. This seems to be more problematic in the Chicago area. The only option currently is to go back to ics. It would be nice if someone could figure out how to install ZV7/ZV8/ZV9 radios on jellybean.
Make sure you contact sprint, so they are aware of the problem.
