[Q]Phone Acting Strange Reboots and Random No Service - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I have been trying to help a friend with a problem she's been having for the past couple weeks.
I tried searching from app but no luck.
Her Epic 4G Touch is on stock GB (unrooted no plans to root). The phone will all the sudden give a no service notification then requires a reboot to get service back.
It also will randomly shut itself off then restart with much lower battery. If you plug it in then reboot the battery jumps back up.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I would say since its not rooted for her to take her phone it to sprint and have a tech look at it. How old is the battery?

She took it to sprint and they said there is nothing wrong. That's why I was trying to help. The battery isn't even a year yet. I'm starting to think she may just need to keep harassing them till they admit it's bad.

You can try to update it to FF18 (ICS) no root and see if that helps. that way you can limit it down to either battery or software issue.

We'll have to try that soon as the update pushes to the phone

If you look in the dev section they have the OTA update and QBKing77 has a video on how to push it manually. in the vidoe description has the link to the FF18 OTA version(No Root) But here is the rooted version too.
OTA: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcsfJXKv23o

please help me!
i see that community peoples are very useful I just google it and restore Sandwich 4.0.4, look very good! but animation pretty slow performance ...
First off, thanks for giving us more than an hour to respond. If you want speedy service, go to McDonald's.
Second, you did it all wrong. You should have just run an RUU. Restoring a Google profile in recovery should never be used, as it never works correctly.
No need to be brash. But next time give us some time to check threads. Sometimes I have to wait days.
System reset only wipes data. The original ROM is still in tact. You would have to flash a different ROM after you perform a system reset and wiping everything but stats, sd card, and rotation settings.

I think he means the proprietary files? And if I remember right a RUU removes root?

What rom are you on? I remember this problem with the early ics leaks but I thought it was fixed.

Go to call settings, then where it says alert on calls (i know its weird) make sure the box is checked. no more annoying sounds.
I dont see that setting?

Sprint Zone Update? 3/16/13

Just being cautious, and want to know if this is just a simple sprint zone app update, or the OTA I didn't wait for.
Since I'm rooted on Lifeless 14, and unlocked, should I check it out?
My data is unbearable right now.. Even with the tweaks of Lifeless' Kernel. I would love if it was more than stupid app update. Like LTE.
Pardon my noob jiggle.

I am on stock ROM rooted and unlocked and I downloaded it and was fine. It is safe. I doubt it is different for you.

(Query) Casio G'zOne CA-201L

So it's actually a Korean phone. I'm currently residing in the Philippines.
I bought it from some guy here and all the network services are fine like calling, texting and data.
Problem though is that contacts are shutting on me and my signal bars are showing nothing all the time even if I can make a call. There are other issues with it too. Like on start up still says that I cannot use the card even if I can and the gzone app like the gzworld is not locating my gps and is still based on Korea. And there's this app Tan Tien and it's like the Vietnamese version of go sms and it won't let me update it. Says something about an error.
Anything I could do on it? Already has custom rom but it's like Vietnamese or sumthing and I can't understand it.
I already read threads about this phone but most of it is confusing and I just wanna start fresh on it. Here's the current build on my phone. I'm a newbie in roms and all that.
Please be gentle with the jargons. Thanks.

I'm also from the Philippines. I bought mine from a Korean guy thru sulit. I also had the same problem that you're experiencing until I installed the jelly bean rom. I suggest you follow the steps in this forum tinyurl.com/kan8h6o. Please also read the whole thread as you may experience some issues with jelly bean. Most of the solutions are there.
Thanks man. Maybe you can hit me up on my Gmail at [email protected] If i get sum problem. Thanks.

Had the same issue a couple days ago... No issues at all since I got the phone and flashed jedi rom... Then one day it started acting up. I restarted and it kept doing it and then I restarted and cleared my cache and seemed to work.... Don't know if the clearing of the cache did it or just the restarts but it's back to acting normal.

I never leave my phone stock so I am not totally sure but maybe stock recovery? Turn off the phone then hold power and volume down then scroll to recovery select it and it will either go to it or you will have to hold I think the volume down button..
Someone else could answer this better than me. Have been running cwm or twrp ever since I went android.
