wifi stop working and forcing manual reboot - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

i recently just got at&t S3. i tried out slimbean the first week. after reading through threads for the S3, it seems task650 and koontz are well respected and thought i'd give their latest edition a run(11/10). i factory/data reset 5x, wiped cashe partition 5x, dalvick cashe 5x, format system 3x, format data 3x, installed rom, installed gapps, fixed permissions, then rebooted. 1st day no problems at all. 2nd day i started experiencing issues w wifi stop working and i would have to reboot phone to regain control of turning wifi on and off. by 3rd day the wifi stop working issue had gained where once it had stopped working while phone asleep, when you press button to wake phone only capacitive button light up and screen never come up. any ideas what might be going on?

Ics + Wifi = sudden slowdown and hangup

Greetings.
My problem is quite curious - and so far I was unable to find exact case on those forums :
When I installed ICS on my DHD ( Blackout ICS, AospX BR4 BR5, also tried JB - Jellytime beta 14) and installed WIFIX
some time after turning WiFi cellphone slowdowns (any button pressed takes minutes to react) and after a while everything comes to complete halt
Sometimes it occures few seconds after turning on wifi , sometimes it gets after performing any actions ,and there is 100% chance that it will get stuck when going to sleep ( Few times tested it while listening to MP3 - suddenly music stopped and everything was dead).
When I go back to my original software, everything is working as intended - A pity as I really like ICS and JB
When I was flashing those roms always did Data wipe , Cache wipe and Dalvik wipe, not to mention that I saw Blackout install doing format on my partitions.
Overclocking and Underclocking don't change anything on the phone.
Edit : Installed Rom : Nik Project X v4.1 - insteald of hanging, it now resets itself every so often when wifi is on. After few restarts , it have problem with turning on WiFi
Dont flash wifix.
Include format all partitions except sd card.
Chech battery cover.
Reset router.
Sent from a dream.
same problem
Hi,
I have the same problem as you. Have you solve it?
After installing ICS, whenver i turn on my wifi and surf/download, it will restart
But if i turn off my wifi, no issue. It won't restart for whole day.

Strange occurence of phone constantly restarting.

Hello,
I have owned a Sprint Galaxy S III since August of 2012 and have been using it pretty much flawlessly until this week.
To give some history, I rooted it once it became a common thing to do and have CWM-based Recovery v5.5.0.4.
I have loaded many different roms - cyanogenmods, m.o.a.r., wicked, miui to try out and many others and have never had an issue.
I recently upgraded to M.O.A.R. v 6.0 at home and everything seemed great - loaded apps, settings, etc. The next day on the way to work, the phone restarted by itself. I thought was strange but chalked it up to a new rom issue. When I got to work, the frequency of the issue increased to the point that the phone was no longer usable as it would just continue to restart, boot, etc.
Restoring the rom I previously had did nothing to help the issue.
I looked up online at possibilities and came across the SD card issue. I replaced it, but still occurs. I've tried a few different roms and no matter what, it seems to continuously boot and restart based on certain locations that I am in or am passing through.
Today, I turned off 4G LTE as preferred mobile network and it seemed to keep the phone on. I have not done extensive testing, but could this be an issue? I am able to use 4G LTE at home with no problem as well as other areas, but it seems that once I am in or pass through certain locations, that it is crashing my phone? Maybe the GPS?
Are there any tips or suggestions of what I can do or try? I am at a loss as to how to fix this when it has not been an issue up until this week after flashing to MOAR v6.0. I've wiped data, cache, dalvik, many times and retried but still is happening.
Any feedback would be much appreciated.
At first it sounded like sudden death syndrome (a power button failure) but when you said turning off 4G fixed it that is very weird. Have you tried asking in the M.O.A.R thread?

Are you restoring any System Data ? I would suggest doing a Clean install. Meaning a FULL Wipe : System - Data - Dalvik - Dalvik Cache - Factory Reset ( 3x's ) . I also like to wipe Internal Storage. But that's up to you. Then Flash the Rom, and let it Boot. Do not load anything, or tweak anything. Just leave the device alone for the first 5min. Then test it to be sure everything is working correctly before loading apps, or doing any settings.
Just to update...
I clean installed MOAR 6 again - this time I upgraded CWM to latest version. I clean wiped data/cache, cache, dalvik about 3 or 4 times. Once it reinstalled, I noticed the data wasn't working at all so I did that ##72786# (forgot numbers off top of head) that reactivated phone. The data came back and I thought this was going to solve all the issues...keep in mind I did all this in the evening from home last night.
On the way to work this morning, sure enough once I got in the vicinity of work, phone restarted a few times. I was quick enough to catch it one time to turn preferred mobile networks to 3G first and disable 4G... my phone has not restarted for the rest of the day.
It's great that it seems the issue is isolated to 4G, but I don't understand how it can be fine in some areas and not in others. For instance, at home, 4G works just fine.
I think I will try to go back to stock or try an aosp rom. I've seen in some places talk of MB1 and MD4...is there a way to tell which I have or is that related to anything?

Actually, yes - I have been putting my gmail account information in and it has been syncing the apps. It's just so odd because I haven't had issues for over a year and I don't recall installing any new stuff.
well, now it happened at home when turning on 4g... damn.

You did not mention wiping system. If you do not Wipe system, and also Factory Reset then it's really not a Clean install. I would still suggest a FULL Wipe, and Clean install. Then run the Device for a while without adding anything. See how it performs.
I ended up just flashing this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1904099 to stock with flash reset.
I am not sure about wiping system - I always just follow the steps of the rom wipe data/cache/dalvik. I will have to research on how to wipe system.
If you never wipe system you are definitely going to run into problems.

You just do it in Recovery before you flash. If you look at my Sig on a PC / Internet Mode there is a link on how to do Full Wipe before flashing a Rom.

[problem] note II Freezing.

Hello Guys,
Need some advice here.
I'm running Paranoid Android 3.99 since its release and just recently my phone has started acting strange, I am unable to unlock my phone resulting in having to soft reset, It seems when using the phone it keeps freezing, I.e i'm typing a text and it stops responding for a moment and then continues typing the letter i hit previously.
I just wiped the cache and davlik but that took far longer than normal, as if it froze whilst wiping.
Has anybody experienced this and recommend any fixes?

try a different rom with clean wipe and see if prob persist
I suspect this is my only option, I'm just a little concerned it seemed to effect CWM.
I will give this a try this evening once I have backed up my apps etc.

Menu Capacitive Button Issue

My wife's phone is having issues with the capacitive menu button.
It doesn't matter what ROM is installed, it will work for a little while and then it stops working completely.
What I have done already:
Wipe in cache and davlik cache in TWRP.
-No change
Wipe/Factory reset in TWRP
-Works for a little while and then stops
(nothing crazy installed, can't find anything that would be disabling it)
Flash different ROM
-Works for a little while and then stops
(nothing crazy installed, can't find anything that would be disabling it)
This began about 2 months ago and she just lives with it. I cannot, too many things she does not have access to without it.
Any ideas? If not, I may just bring it to sprint and see if there is a physical issue with it. Strange that it works for a little while though.
We both had the same phone for a while, just upgraded mine, but she does not have anything installed that was different from mine or different from what she used for the first few months of owning it. Everything was working fine for a while.
Thanks for the help.

[Q] a lot of issues $#%$

Alright so im having a lot of problems. Usually when I turn off my phone and it boots up it'll usually freeze on that rainbow circle screen so I turn it off and back it then it loads fine no big deal but yesterday I turned it off and tried turning back on and now it freezes every single time. All day yesterday I kept booting into recovery and kept restoring roms, Ive factory reset it, wiped data, wiped dalvik cache and now when iI turn it on I have no apps. The screen is jus black but the pulldown bar is still there and I can't download apps or apks. I get error 24 every single time. Anyone know how to fix this? I'm using moar ROM BTW if that helps. Also one more thing, when my phone starts up now it always says android.process stopped and systemUI stoppes
I have pics but apparently can't post them..
I would try downloading a stock rom... do a fresh install. .. meaning factory data reset, wipe cache, dalvik cache, and just because of the problems I'd format my internal memory too. Are you running 4.3 version of moar or the 4.1.2? If the problems continue there may be something else corrupted
