Why does my phone always crash.... - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Every time I root my phone install custom ROMS or Kernels it will always Crash or reboot it self every time. I have tried unrooting the device several times I also tried Tried very popular ROMs like AOKP & CM and still they end up crashing within a day of use. I don't know what I am doing wrong here... I assumed it was the phone so I called Verizon to send me a replacement one but if anyone knows why this is only happening to me and not all the rest of my friends even Fiance then please let me know....
At the moment I am on stock ROM and Stock Kernel and still rebooting and crashing every time and its rooted so if anyone has any idea please let me know i am about to give me on this Phone....
P.S. If you have recommendations on ROMS or Kernels I can try besides Franco or Trinity that will be great, I also tried them and also the same problem

My gnex has recently started to do this as well. I think its an overheating issue because it'll "crash" when it feels really hot.

[Q] Does your phone randomly reboots?

I'm not sure if this has happened to anyone else..
However, this seems to be an ongoing issue with me and Android.
I've had the X10a and Nexus One .. both after only rooting it and using a different rom. While making phone calls and charging.. my phone would reboot..
Or playing a game on the phone.. it would reboot. I basically couldn't do anything without the phone rebooting. Which was sad.
Now with the Galaxy S2X.. This very same issue just happened to me moments ago.
Should I have never rooted it or changed the rom in the first place?
It was running very well before I decided to do so.. even while charging and talking on the phone.
Its funny because it just happened while charging.... I'm not even on the phone myself.
Does anyone seem to have any problem with this when using custom ROMs?
Because if this is true.. then I guess I'll flash the stock kernel and stuff back on the phone just to HOPE it doesn't occur then. :/
I've only experienced this after trying different roms and kernels. I flashed the stock kernel and the deodex rooted stock rom back at the same time and have had no such things happen again.
Imo, stock always runs better than any other rom. I always get better battery too.
My sensation was/is the same way, reboots, dropped signals and all until I put it back to stock rooted. Now it's fine.

Deebo took your bike too?
Yes I have had it more often on this phone though but it has been fixed by wiping the proper things first then flashing. If not then you might need to redownload the file.
If that doesnt work then you need to make sure that the kernel you are using is compatible with the rom
Also make sure that you are using the proper cpu software for the kernel.. Setcpu seems to work good for most but on Juggernauts new kernel they highly recommend Fauxclock .
I've run roms and kernels since we got root. Never had a random reboot or any other problem for that matter.

The only thing I'm worried about is if I continue to wipe and reinstall these customs ROM's that this issue could worsen, but you said that Fauxclock was highly recommended for Jug's Rom? I should try that out myself.
I've always done exactly what was written on the Instructions themselves.
But as for now. . I did a full wipe.. including my SD and the USB data and did a practice call for roughly an hour with me playing games and surfing. So far, there has been any problems. I hope this is perm!
I'd hate to waste another $500 phone D:
As far as the problem kernel with rom etc..
I am running Jug's rom straight. No different kernel's nothing.
I just had it happen to me last night. First time on this phone it has happened. It its stock, rooted. Happened while I was paying music in the car. My other phones with custom roms used to do it all the time.
I wonder if this has happened to anyone without ANY mods on their phone? =X

What exactly does that do?

Are you overclocking?
I am running jugs rom. Before I cleaned everything I did move a lot of apps to SD. Maybe that cause it but as for now I have no.problem. definitely report in the future should there be anymore.

Reviving old thread... I have a completely stock S2X running 4.0.3 and it randomly reboots or shuts itself off.
I'm trying to figure out if it's a wayward app or a hardware problem. Thinking of rooting and removing the bloatware.
I also saw that it could be a faulty power button, but it also happens by itself, sitting on a desk.

[Q] Phone bootcycling randomly

Hi guys, I'm running this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1485722 and I'm having one major issue....recurrent bootloops from no where. I'll often check my phone after it having been in my pocket, and it will be bootlooping. Or I'll be using an application and it will happen...phone freezes, starts bootlooping.
A battery pull fixes the loop, but it happens time and time again. I tried fixing permissions in CWM but that didn't fix it. I love the rom and want to use it, but its unreliability is such a flaw that I simply cannot.
Tl;dr: I like the rom, want to fix random bootloops. If this is not possible, do you have any suggestions on either similar roms, or straight up better ones with reliability?
Thanks
There's mikrunny over on the mikmik forums and there's magnolia here. I have uses mikrunny and I like it. Did you wipe everything before flashing your rom? Always do that...

I need help fast again pleasseee. Phone rebooted on it's own and will not power on

Hey all good morning, what a messed up way to start the morning. So I was on my phone paying some bills, reading some manga when it powered off on me, I thought this was the known random reboot you get when flashing CM10 sometimes so I paid it no mind, however the phone has still not turned back on. I've done battery pulls, tried to boot into recovery or download and nothing is working it's just dead. I definitely didn't do anything this morning, flashed no roms nada and it had full charge shoot it was plugged in to my work computer when it happened. Someone, anyone please help me, I have the toolkit on this computer and can download anything all I need is instruction. Please help and also I've wanted the CM10 rom because I like it but it doesn't seem ready to be my daily driver as I'm having issues and have flashed different versions with it seeming to get worst while getting better. What does anyone recommend for a safe daily driver, stable, no reboots, crashes and still can be played with like CM10 for features somewhat?

I've been using ths 08/14 CM10 rom on a full wipe without much issues, but have come accross your issue on an old CM9 build last month.
For me to get the phone to boot, I removed the battery and powered it on by AC only, and then poped in the battery, and haven't had issues since.
Do you do any overclocking or undervolting? You say CM10, what release? What kernel?
Hopefully we can get your phone working once more

Thanks for the support, I'm not sure what happened but I just saw the samsung logo and it's booted up, so now it's up and running but that kinda scared me lol. I know what you mean jellybro hasn't given me much problem before which is why I've picked it over others but this now scares me lol especially since I actually formatted my phone last friday and had to start from scratch, so was worried it was a repeat without me doing anything lol. I'm using the 20120813 release and the kernel that comes with it, I haven't played with kernels at all, is there a kernel I should look at? And I don't overclock per say I may switch the cpu performance to "performance" from time to time but that's it and no undervolting I try not to play with things I don't understand too much lol
I'd recommend you to hop on the new 08-14 official CM10, now that cm9 is released, i would imagine seeing many more frequent updates from Cyanogen himself.
I was using Jellybro and got random crashes, but so far no issues with 0814 cm10. Just do a full wipe, dalvik wipes and dirty flash cause more issues than its worth, especially with Titanium Backup you do a one click restore, and get a sms backup tool. Simple clean switch. Just make sure not to copy system data with TI, which would give you the same results as a dirty flash.

[Q] CM10 on Bell Galaxy S III (d2att)

I know CM10 has been made "stable" on this device but I just have a few questions regarding it. My wife has been using the nightlies since the first previews were available and I'm not sure if our issues are common or something I am doing wrong.
She is currently on a nightly from a few days ago but these issues have persisted for about a month. I have done a full wipe and flash multiple times and we still have the same issues.
Skype: She can't barely here the other user and the other user hears nothing but static. I have tested with multiple other users. I have wiped data for Skype and reinstalled it, still has the same issue.
Force Close - Many apps. Happens randomly and it's not the same apps every time. I feel it is an OS issue and not an app issue.
Speakerphone is randomly activated by default. She usually has to tap the mic button a few times (deactivate, reactivate, deactivate) in order to get it switched to the handset.
Depending on what nightly she flashes the caller on the other end gets echo. It hasn't been happening with recent flashes but every couple weeks it pops up again for a nightly and then disappears.
I understand there are many issues due to Samsung not releasing sources, etc, just want to verify I am not alone. I have looked through the forums and see some people have some of the issues from time to time but I am hoping for some verification.
Thanks for everything.
I noticed the same thing a few days ago on Skype but didn't think much of it at the time.
Just checked again and sure enough I'm having the same experience you are with static.
Flashed back to stock and the problem disappears.
Must be a problem with CM10.
Ever try flashing the Stable version? Or a different rom for that matter? Maybe AOKP?
The issue existed before Stable and it exists in Stable. I just tried [ROM] AOKP(Jellybean 4.1.2)Task & Ktoonsez (11/18) and the issue with Skype exists there as well. If anybody knows of a AOKP or CM build that doesn't have any issues I would swap over. I have been wiping and flashing roms like crazy lately and I we really can't stand stock samsung rom. I may end up selling the phone and picking up something different, it's quite frustrating. Last time I buy a Samsung phone, that's for sure. They basically **** on devs.

I see you have the same phone as my wife. Any chance you have time to test Skype on your current rom? If so thanks in advance, I appreciate it.

[Q] Random reboots and lock ups (memory leak?)

Hey all,
I've had this issue with everything but the stock rom. After a certain amount of time the phone either locks up to where I have to pop the battery, or will graphic glitch on the screen for a second and then auto reboot. Happens maybe 2-4 times a day depending on the day.
I've done a full wipe and full factory reset. I've been modding phones for ages and this is the first time I've encountered this issue. Everything else seems to run completely fine.
I'm running resurrection rom, but it's done this on several other roms I've tried. However all roms are AOKP/AOSP based if that's relevant.
If there is anymore information I can offer please don't hesitate to ask. I searched the forums and couldn't seem to find anyone else really talking about this. It can be a giant headache so hopefully I can get it sorted.

If this has just started recently in would say it is indeed apart of the cm base, and related to kernel issue. Since the kernel devs are using cm and their kernel base most ROMs kernels have the same base, which means in a round about way they may react the same way on your device. To me, you said graphic glitch, then reboot. I would bump up your voltage little by little and see if it stops, I also would change govs in the kernel.. I'm assuming it happens on any cm kernels you've tried? Yank555 has an awesome cm kernel I would highly recommend, or even imoseyon always has a solid stable cm kernel as well.
How are you transferring the firmware? The heavy cable with the heavy plug? If so, it might have damaged your device's USB port and is causing intermittent disconnections which are corrupting the data as it is transferred. Try a lightweight cable and make sure it is firmly seated, then don't let it move during the transfer.
If this solves it then maybe look into replacement due to faulty design.
Frank
It is happening on all roms, however the only custom roms I've tried are CM based. I'll take a look at these other kernels and see if that resolves. Thanks for the help and idea's so far guys.
I've been having the same issues. Hellish reboots though. 10+ a day... Keep me posted. Thanks
