Problems with stock ics.... - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Is anyone having the issue where the phone freezes and then goes to the lockscreen and reloads?...when it does this, my clock reads the wrong time until i reboot...

Try clearing your cache.
Or try one of the ics ROMs from the development section

I was having that problem the first 2 days of stock Rooted ICS. Oddly, the problem stopped on it's own without the need for further action :/

Well i know with my hd2 that the rom free space was a problem...i had 77mb free with gb and 6mb with ics...so i uninstalled all the apps i wasn't using with titanium and gained 100mb extra...so the rom has room to do it's thing...we'll see if this works...

same here - time "changes" throughout the day

I had the same problem.
OK here's my scenario, I rooted once I upgraded from the kies ics update via the stock root on GalaxyS2Root.com and then had these problems, I then get (very) angry and decided to try it a different way, so I un-rooted, still having hang then fast restart with buttons lit up. So after I put stock ics on there I did a factory reset in stock recovery, then re-rooted now it's Ok, even though the wifi strength is horrific on the stock ics regardless (anyone else having this problem?). But this permanently fixed my problem. Hope this helped!
P.S. - I froze almost all of the stock bloatware with titanium backup as well still works great!

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.

On Boot Android is Upgrading??? wtf??

I
My GN every time I boot says, Android is Upgrading, start applications, what do this means???
Im still on 4.0.1 ics..
Any advice please
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
This is normal. Your phone is not updating its building app cache or something.
Search is your friend.
Question is though... Why is it always rebuilding?
Is it still completely stock from Day 1 of purchase?
Have you rooted it? If so, what method?
Have you installed any apps?
Have you tried doing a factory reset? (Ensure you back up your data)
The phone is purelly stock
I havent done nothing except using it and installing apps...the regular as an every day phone...i got since sunday
Should I factory reset?
Thanks

Any way to back up that?
Thanks

mine does it to. its normal
I can tell you its not normal for it to happen on every single boot! It's probably an app that is causing issues with the os. Try and remember what you recently installed and uninstall a couple apps to try and narrow it down. This happened to me when I installed Wallet.
mine has done it since i powered it on out of the box the very 1st time. so i'd say its normal
I wonder why its doing it then? If on my device it only does it when system files are being played with but on others on every boot?
Happens for me too, only noticed it since upgrading to 4.01 (stock)

Urban precision v2 rom function problem

Ok, u guys know that last night I installed the urban precision v2 rom. The akward part is, it was working fine for awhile, and then a couple hrs later, I started having all kinds of problems. My phone froze up, no buttons wanted to work and it was rebooting all kinds of ways. Especially the fact it rebooted into cwm and then it also when into download mode. I had to pull the battery, go into cwm. Do a factory reset and restore my nandroid back to cleangb. Can this sudden issue be a problem with the rom or kernel? Plus when it was working fine with this rom at the begining, my phone was running super fast. I mean like no lag what so ever. So any idea what may caused this sudden issue? Cuz I honestly don't know.

How can I return to ics.

I want to return to ics after trying a few jb leaks and have some issues I have a backup of my stock rooted 4.0.4 can I restore it or can I flash a custom ics over the jb rom I'm using now.
Sent From My Galaxy S3 Boricua 100%
You seem to have a few options. Only thing you really can't do is dirty flash ics over jb.
You can restore your nandroid and flash from there if you like. Or wipe data dalvik and cache and flash another rom.

So I can use super wipe and then flash a ics rom over jb?
Sent From My Galaxy S3 Boricua 100%
I wouldn't even use superwipe. I only recommend tthat if you are having problems.
Just do factory reset from recovery, then flash your rom.

Ok thanks.the problem is I flshed xquizit xD I love the rom but when phone goes in to sleep it wont wake and starts vibrating with the blue led don't know why and I have asked for help in the op but didn't got help so I'm going back to ics.thanks for your help.
Sent From My Galaxy S3 Boricua 100%
No problem. Just a guess here but did you do a full wipe before flashing xquizit? That sounds like a oroblem that used to occur a lot when there was data left from a previous rom. Sometimes even had to wipe internal sd.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I did super wipe then did wipe factory/chace/dalvik wipe flashed rom then did factory wipe/cache wipe/dalvik wipe/fix permission and reboot with the same results rom is perfect but have the sleep/wake problem.

I never had to run fix permissions on xquizit. And it has caused me problems in the past with other roms. Maybe that's the problem? Just a guess.

If you really want to stay on JB, give Black Jelly a go. No problems at all for me...been using it for a couple weeks now.

I will give it a try I don't want to give up on this rom not yet I really like the battery life and performance it's near perfect just having that issue and I noticed it happens when I hit the power button to turn off the screen it vibrates one time and when I hit power again it starts vibrating like crazy with blue led and black screen so I have to take out the battery and reboot.

How much storage do you have on your data partition?
You don't have to be out of space to get that message. Its set to do that once a certain percentage of your storage is remaining. Probably 5-10%. It does this to ensure there's enough space left for the already installed apps to use.
So you could have a few hundred mb remaining, but still be below that threshold.

Op. My biggest issues happens when I do not format "system". If you have a solid nandroid backup and you place a copy of the backup on your home computer you can recover from almost any mistake. Take the time to do the research. Happy to help with the basics.

Random Reboots

So I have been having some random reboots and my phone has been freezing and wont turn off unless I pull the battery. I am completely stock only rooted I have never flashed a rom on this device either. I dont know what could be causing these problems the only root apps I have is super user and wifi there. Anyone have any thoughts please chim in. Thank you.
P.S. I have done 2 factory resets as well
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
Define "factory reset". If you have truly reset all the software, then it must be hardware, in which case, time to visit a Sprint store.
Reset through recovery wiped everything 3 times

I was using Juice Defender and this was causing my reboot and unstalled it and reflash the MA7 return to stock Rom and my problems have been solved. In my case it was software or some tweak that I did that caused my problem. My phone has not restarted ever since this has been 5 hours.
