What the hell is wrong with my phone - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Can someone tell me if this is a software or hardware issue. I've been rooted for quite a while btw, not a noob. Since last night the phone will randomly reboots itself after a few minutes of turning on. I can't get it to stay on for an extended period of time without rebooting. Also, if I turn it off, it turns itself back on. During the moments it is on, if I press the lock button nothing happens. The screen doesn't turn off. The only way I keep it off is by pulling the battery. You'd think itd have to do with the ROM, but I've been on the 7/13 build of AOKP since it came out, so almost a month now. This issue didn't arise until yesterday, also I'm not underclocking/undervolting. It's using the default TWRP recovery that came with it. So, is it a hardware issue? Should I take it in for replacement??

Hmmm If I was you I'd definitely try another rom or something . Maybe back up what you have and try a simple One click sfhub package to see if the problem still exists... Weird stuff happens some times
And if it happens on another rom/one click, then yeah its safe to say to take it in to Sprint

I've had that sort of thing happen when I flashed a new ROM and the download was corrupted... flashed it again and the same thing happened.. I had to re-download the file and then flash and all was good. I'd guess it was a software issue.. I'd wipe everything, download a new ROM (check the md5) and flash all new stuff..

I had the same issue on milestone 6. Went stock for a few days,then to another build and I have been OK.Remember all that glitters isn't gold.Sometimes "unofficial" builds me just that.Not 100% ready.

That's a Rom issue not hardware, oh that's right your on ics, no wonder. Gingerbread will fix that in a jiffy.

I've been on the ROM for almost a month now and this issue didn't surface until today? I don't think it has to do with the ROM per se. Luckily for whatever reason it stopped, but I'm still curious as to what caused it in the first place should it ever happen again.

Turning itself on sounds like your button is stuck. I know of no ROM that can boot your phone when powered off.

Aokp aosp builds are extremely different that TW based roms.I'm way to sick and tired to fully explain.Please know that yes bugs and issues can still arise after some time.Mainly from the complex nature of coding and modifying. Be happy your phone is still working. Customizing a build with all those feature is nice but sometimes it's not worth it

Lol, that's what I'm thinking. Now it's only rebooting every few hours or so. Very strange.

I'm having a very difficult time understanding your writing style and need to clarify.
So far as I understand, you originally had Venom ICS flashed from the latest 4ext. After a few days or a week, half of the screen began flickering. I believe you then rerooted the phone? Then you full wiped (so that's system, data, and cache). You then flashed JellyTime R29 from CWM 5.0.37. The problem showed back up after a few days or a week again. Is that accurate?
Have you flashed any other ROMs? Has the phone been dropped or taken any other damage? Have you tried flashing a stock ROM? Have you had any ROMs on which the problem didn't show up? Did you have this problem on stock before rooting?

Assuming you did a full wipe of system, data and cache I can only guess that it's a hardware problem. It persists across multiple ROMs, so that's my guess. See if anyone else has a suggestion.

Wait, you didn't say that before. Have you messed with the auto brightness settings before? Try turning it off; is it still a problem? When you say flickering do you mean the back light? Or graphical glitches? Or something else?

The persistence across ROMs (and I'm assuming that you haven't messed with settings) suggests that it's probably a graphics hardware issue. I vaguely remember someone else having this problem but can't remember who; I'll ask around. Unfortunately I'm not from the Philippines, so I don't know where you can get it repaired.
I think gizmoe knows the answer to this one.

You can private message him here on the forums. His username is Gizmoe.
You can also search for the answer in the dhd and inspire forums, to see if it shows up.
I'm guessing gizmoe may not know the answer since he would have surely posted something in this thread by now. I may be wrong about that as I may also be wrong about him knowing the answer.

[Q] My phone randomly shuts itself off?

After trying a few custom ROMs, I've decided to revert back to the old stock ROM, and unroot because I still had my warranty left. So I downloaded the latest ROM available in the Stock ROMs thread, to be specific I8150DXLM3 Malaysia. :victory:
And after flashing via odin, at random times it would shut itself off, which is rather annoying. There was a phone call from a VIP and I couldn't answer it due to the sudden disappearance. HELP. Grr! I hate the stock ROM now. The only reason I used it I really like the Touchwiz. (Don't really care that much for the warranty) Is there any custom ROM that has Touchwiz that doesn't have all the Samsung bloatware?

Before going back to stock, go pristine using CWM 1st. Format data, system and everything you can see. Then reboot into download mode and flash Stock ROM back.
Odds are unless your phone breaks in hardware stage, the SSC will still know its been rooted before. But then in Malaysia they're all lazy asses so you'd wanna find the one that looks the laziest. **malaysian here

I need more info. Did you do a clean install;wipe data, cache, and dalvik? Is the speaker working for other apps?What, if any, mods did you flash after initial rom flash. I haven't had this problem on this rom, but all phones are different it seems. So I need as much info as possible.

Yes, clean install;wipe data, cache, and dalvik no mods or tweaks-
The speaker is fine, I can hear them no problem. The microphone when the phone is on speaker phone does not work however. People say they can barely hear me at all and I've tried calling myself and can confirm that it sounds very low and crackly. When I reinstall a TW rom..it works flawlessly.
Does it have anything to do going from JB to Slim? When I reinstall JB rom i use the 2x wipe. I ran out of things to try so I went back to TW but would rather be on slim + zap kernal

I would try another clean install, wipe data,cache,dalvik,like three times.Just to make sure nothing is left behind and flash rom from the eL29 direct boot kernel. I have seen this issue in other roms,now that I did a little research,and it seems phone specific. I myself have never had a mic problem. I will keep looking, so keep an eye on this thread. Also, did you go to JB correctly. Using the one - click full restore....this partitions you're phone correctly. Could have nothing to do with you're problem,but wanted to ask..I think the full restore is the one you want, just grab the one that wipes you're internal memory. Yep....back-up time.

My first flash since I bought it was a one click, however, I went to other TW roms and used the 2x wipe zip since then. When I went to slim ( and even black bean ) and I used the el29 direct boot. I noticed it happens only on AOSP roms..maybe it is just my device.

Sorry I couldn't be more help... And Im not sure if you uderstood what I meant by one-click. There is a one - click that you need to flash before the first time you go to JB from ICS... It partions you're phone correctly.

When I first went from ics to JB I used a one click install FULL WIPE (GB10 I think it was at the time) version ( which is what this post tells you to do) so yes I have done this step when I went from ICS to JB. Besides, I'm sure if I didn't do it correctly then any version of JB would not work on my phone and it does
Other then using a ics modem, Is there any special step ( not already mentioned ) to go back to AOSP from JB?

Random Reboot and Random Black Screen

Lately I have been getting random reboots and random black screens. The phone will either reboot itself show the galaxy s3 screen then go to complete darkness or vibrate and go straight to complete darkness. This seems to be random and usually starts happening a week or so after flashing a rom or kernel. Right now I am using my own TW rom (in dev section) with kt kernel and team kernalizer scripts. But the kernel doesn't seem to matter as this happens regardless. Does anyone know whats going on? Also this started happening after I ran aokp 4.2.2 for awhile, then odin back to stock and issues started. I've also been having less battery life since then.
Someone please help
anyone?

Running stock Odin may be an option, but here is what I would do first.
Flash the LJC firmware from the second firmware link in my signature. It's in the OP, but isn't immediately obvious. Just scroll a bit and you will see it.
Stop using KT and tkmod for now. These, simply put, are variables that you don't need to deal with right now. There is also a good chance it's a bug in your ROM.

Before I went to aokp I was using my rom very stably for a good while and others have been using it without problems, but I agree going to least common denominator (stock rom/kernel) sounds like a very good idea. I'll also flash the ljc firmware even though I haven't really had any problems with the 4.1.2 one.
Btw why ljc and not md5?

Because it's somewhat likely the MD5 firmware is causing your problems. I can't use it on my phone, just kills battery. Maybe your phone has a more severe reaction to it.

ok I guess I'll go back but I don't see why the md5 firmware would be a problem now after I was using it with no problem for a while.
Unless you are running 100% md5, it has been known to cause some issues. Seems a lot was done on that update from 4.1.1 - 4.1.2, and it doesn't always like to be mixed with older fw.

Well I flashed the LJC fw and so far it's been pretty stable, only having trouble with excess heat but will probably get better with time. Also I'm having trouble getting a logcat app running (catlog etc). The app opens I give it root permissions, then I get a black screen with loading ring. No log whatsoever, is that normal? tried on both fw btw.
just got another random reboot on ljc fw. any other ideas?

Just a heads up, my phone was doing this for about 3 days, and then completely crashed. Check out my thread. Stock Rom, but rooted. Hope it doesn't happen to you.

Idk what the issue is I'm gonna go stock for a while without recovering and see if that will fix anything, if not maybe tmobile is the way to go. Btw I tried taking a log cat but get error saying that dev/log/main doesn't exist.
Ok I was doing good for a few hours after flashing stock and not restoring Google account until I got a random reboot just now. I was able to get a log cat tho so I'd anyone can look at it and help.

That logcat contains 30 seconds of information. Looks like you pulled it after the device rebooted. It's probably going to be the kernel dmesg that we need. You get that one after the device reboots, but not the logcat.

ok I will try to get that the next time it reboots. Hopefully it's a simple fix, but just not sure what the problem could be.
So I went all these days without a random reboot and finally got one today, but was unable to pull a dmesg as it said does not exist. What can I try to get a dmesg now?
Also the phone feels like it never shuts down, even when I choose to shutdown in the menu it ends up restarting itself then bootlooping or just restarting. I've also noticed that holding home and power to turn phone on works most of the time to get it back to the os only to have it crash shortly after. I press home and power until I see the white splashscreen then let power button go. but staying in os for more than a few mins right now is impossible.

Constantly losing cell service

This problem suddenly came out of nowhere.
I've had the same rom (paranoid android 3.99 RC2) running on my phone for 6 months and everything works perfectly until one day as I'm driving home the GPS goes wonky.
I restart my phone and then boom, no cell service on my phone.
I tried to:
wipe cache, dalvik
shutdown and reboot multiple times,
install a fresh copy of the rom,
tried other roms,
made sure i wiped system and storage when flashing new rom,
and tried to insert, reinsert sim card multiple times.
Strangely enough when this problem happens, the home button laso seems to act like its unlocking the device...
What do you guys think?
I'm thinking maybe I got some water on my device and ended up having it seep into the home button and the back of the device.
Sounds like a modem issue, might just need updating to the latest for you device...

Agree with the updating modem?
Have you popped open the phone and checked the water indicators ? Check for water invasion, that would answer whether it's a factor or not.

I flashed to the stock rom and unrooted, which flashed the UCALJ2 Modem. It's working fine now on Paranoid 3.60.
I downgraded to that one since I never had any troubles with that rom, I kinda liked that version anyway,
but if I get any issues I will post here again.

That's possibly because I have a lot going on. And I try my best to have it UPDATED with the latest stuff.
You wanna know when the last time I updated, then look at the top of the OP page. Updated yesterday btw
Modems are updated to the latest one....
