Help! My phone is freezing / locking up and rebooting several times a day now!
I successfully did the stock AT&T Jellybean update this week when it became available via Kies.
I had no issues with the initial upgrade…it seemed to go smooth.
After a day…or a few hours….I can’t remember…I did start noticing a few issues with Touch Wiz closing or freezing and some other apps misbehaving. I can’t even remember what exactly the issues were.
I was also having some other quirky issues with the phone on stock ICS before the JB update…so I have been meaning to do a factory reset and reinstall everything.
So with the phone being even more flakey with JB I went ahead and did a factory reset with my new JB setup.
After a few hours setting up the phone with all my apps, settings, etc I noticed two issues. Swiftkey would not remain selected as my default keyboard and AT&T Voicemail viewer would not retain any of my account settings after a reboot.
After some Googling I learned that this is a know issue with JB 4.1.1 for many apps…they don’t quite install properly and something happens during shutdown that causes the settings to be lost. The only work around seemed to be:
Root Phone
Install apps
Backup with Titanium or other backup program
Uninstall apps
Restore apps – then they somehow install properly and work
I did this…first time rooting the phone….and the root and work around worked perfectly first time.
But after continuing to install apps and tweak my phone the real problems have now begun.
The phone is completely freezing at random times…in any app or in the TW launcher. It seems to just sit there frozen until I hold down the power key long enough to force a reboot or take out the battery.
There are no force closes or other error messages and I have found no other pattern to the freezes.
So now the phone is almost totally useless. It may work for a few hours…or just a few minutes before locking up. Worse…I have no way to know this has happened if the phone is in my pocket.
I did another full factory reset using the Recovery Mode and reinstalled everything again and am having the same issues.
I fear the root somehow corrupted my phone or one of my apps is totally incompatible with JB but I have to many (~70) it will be very hard to tell which one.
The other issue I am having is the battery is draining in just 4-5 hours even with light use.
Coincidentally….4G LTE was just turned on in my area this week so that would be a factor in both the battery drain and maybe even the lockups. I have a Microcell at home…wondering if 4G LTE and my Microcell are not behaving.
There are just too many variables with a new ROM (JB), fresh rooting of the phone plus recovery app installed, plus 70+ apps, plus new 4G LTE, plus my Microcell.
I don’t know what to try next to get the phone stable or to get the battery use reasonable.
Please post any and all suggestions….
One thing I’d like to clear up or eliminate is the root issue…is there any way that is the cause of my phone’s current problems?
What a mess of a week! Instead of the total awesomeness of JB, 4G LTE, and the fresh experience of using a rooted phone...all happening for me in the same week...I get a total headache and useless phone. Sure hope I can dig my way out of this.
Thanks for reading my long post!
I'd say to flash stock rooted official jellybean from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1968625 i'd then do a Hard Factory reset *2767*3855# then you can install apps that are compatible with jb but not the app data and see how the phone is. also, for signal issues, try using a different modem located herehttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1831898

Thanks for the ideas....had not heard of the "Hard Factory reset *2767*3855#"....how is that different from a factory restet initiated from winthing Android or from the recovery program?
Also - is there any quick / easy way to know which of my apps are supposed to be compatible with JB?
Sure will be a pain to reconfigure everything again.
Should I be safe installing my apps via Titanium backup restores? (as long as I don't restore data)
Also - what about restoring my IMs and call logs from Kies? Is that safe?

Do you happen to have juice defender? I had the same problem, and noticed it only happened when I was on battery. I uninstalled that and it stopped rebooting.

Nope....juice defender...
And my phone doesn't really seem to be rebooting....just freezing up. I have to force it to reboot by holding down the power button for 10 seconds.
About to try a fresh factory ROM install (pre-rooted) and a hard factory reset.
Then I'll add my apps back very slowly to see....
What a pain in the you know what!

Well...I did all that...and no luck. Still freezing up.
I could not actually do the exact *2767*3855# reset...the phone would not respond to that command. So I used CWM to format the SDCard and also did a factory reset there.
Reinstalled my apps carefully and without data restore...boom....phone is locking up all the time again after maybe 12 hours of good operation.
Either this build of JB is not working on my phone or it somehow got fubar'ed during that first upgrade.
My plan now is to restore to factory ICS un-rooted....reset the flash counter if possible....and return the phone under warranty if possible.
Any recommendations for this?
Got replacement phone - still freezing up!

HELP!!!! Please!!!!!
I did a warranty RMA and got a new (refurbed) phone from AT&T. I set it up with stock ICS and it seemed to work fine. I installed CWM without rooting via ODIN and did a Nandroid backup. I then used CWM to load TWRP recovery and did a backup with that.
Then I loaded the stock JB room with root. Tweaked the phone and app settings a little and things seemed to be fine for 1/2 a day. I reinstalled TWRP since the ROM flash replaced it with stock recovery. Things still seemed fine.
So...with JB rooted and seeming to work fine....I booted into Recovery (TWRP) and did a fresh Nandroid backup since the phone was finally all configured and working (apparently).
Well after rebooting from the backup...the phone is acting all crazy again. It seemed to crash my home WiFi network....had to reboot my router. Now the phone freezes or locks up any time I disable WiFi or change WiFi settings.
I am just cursed with the GS3!
Two separate phones with stock AT&T JB with root...one running CWM Touch and the new one running TWRP and both lock up or freeze all the time.
Should I give up and try custom ROMs? Give up on rooting?
I want TouchWiz for SBeam and some of the Samsung apps that I like better than stock...would rather just stay stock with Root.
What can I do to get this phone stabilized with root and JB???
Just did another test...
If I leave my house and walk a couple hundred yards away...as soon as the phone finally loses the WiFi signal and disconnects it locks up.
Seems like all my issues (with first phone maybe too) are tied to WiFi.
Is no one else having WiFi issues with JB? Could it be tied to rooting somehow? For instance...maybe the stock rooted ROM has different modem or WiFi drivers...or different kernel than the actual stock JB ROM I first used via Kies update?

I've got the KIES JB Update, & rooted. I am not experiencing any of the issues your having. It might be helpful if you could post a list of apps & widgets that you have installed, If you have frozen or removed stock files.
It sounds like you may be experiencing some app conflict issues.

I have not frozen any apps or done anything I would consider advanced or risky....
I tried running with what I thought would be just "safe" apps....no luck. I've got most all of my apps installed and did a Titanium Backup so here is a dump of all the user apps backed up:

Having the exact same problems as you. Please help. I'm also considering giving the phone back at Best Buy and having them give me a new one with ICS and leaving ICS on there. My steps are very simple. I had the stock ICS ROM from AT&T and I used Kies to upgrade to stock JB. That's it, nothing else, no rooting, nothing.
I am seeing exactly the same behavior, when wifi switches to 4G or even sometimes when bluetooth comes on, etc I will see the lockup and hang. Have to hold down power button to restart. But I don't think this is completely the issue, because even if I turn off wifi, bluetooth and only leave on 4G, then I still will see random reboots, but a lot lot less frequent. Also, I have always had 4G and I see the battery only lasting 4-6 hrs, so I think this is normal with 4G. I saw this even with ICS.
I have not done any factory reset or anything - I would assume if you use the Kies s/w to update and it leaves your files and apps on there, then it should just work. But I will try the factory reset once I backup my contacts, etc.
I'm a little shocked that people are having this problem with a newly released ROM.

After several re-flashes to stock JB with root and still more freezing with WiFi, etc....I gave up and loaded a custom ROM this morning.
I'm running BlackJelly...and after about 8 hours it seems be be running great so far. It is TW JB-based...and having very few issues with it. Battery is poor but it takes a few days of charging and use I guess to get the battery / phone / ROM calibrated. AT&T Visual Voicemail is not working and the phone shows H instead of 4G LTE...but I'm sure I can fix those issues by searching through the hundreds of thread pages on that ROM is this forum.
Give it a try before you switch to ICS or trade in the phone. You can always flash back to stock un-rooted and use Triangle Away to reset flash counter.
Good luck!
Still stuck with crashing phone!

Well...after over a week of trying it out....BlackJelly did not help me. Still had freezes / lock-ups.
I can't tell if the phone is re-booting itself or just re-launching the Launcher (I us Nova but tried stock and Apex too). The phone appears to re-boot on it's own but the up-time under status would not reset...making it seem like not a re-boot but a launcher reload or something. Pretty much same issues as with stock JB.
So I gave up and tried CM10.1 nightlies....and wow....crashing all the time now. Whereas stock JB and BlackJelly seemed to crash when I left my home or left any WiFi network or even just when I disabled WiFi while connected....CM10.1 crashes all the time while at home seemingly at random. I can get 5 hours of great use...then have it crash 5 times in an hour. Seems to crash a lot in the settings menus.
This is with my second (replacement) phone. I am just cursed!
How do I effectively use a LogCat app or something to find out what apps or services or whatever are crashing my phone? Help!
Read through this whole thread and no where did you ever mention clearing your cache. Clear your system cache/davlik cache and reboot.

Sorry...should have mentioned that. I've cleared the system and davlik cache many times...before and after flashing. I've done full system wipes / resets, formatted my SD card...everything I can think of.
I either have a rouge app that I seem to install right away after clean flashes....or a rouge Wifi router in my house that messes up my phone even when I leave and use other networks...or a rouge ATT&T microcell that does the same....or a rogue LTE area in West Michigan....
Or a second bad phone sent from AT&T. But no form of JB seems to work for me no matter what. Guess I could run a clean install with no apps for several days...and then add in an app a day for the next 2+ months until I find the bad app...if that is even the case.
So bummed with this mess!

Interesting....that might be what I was experiencing....but I never thought that was it....did not notice that cause/effect.
I gave up and went back to stock / rooted ICS / TW...version LH9. Loaded it yesterday and have had 24 hours of great use...no issues.
I miss JB and Google Now...but at least my phone works!
I'm not sure for stock JB but on other ROMs, you could try changing your governor and scheduler.

When on CM10.1 I tried bumping the minimum CPU speed to 484 and 5xx (can't remember the actual numbers)....and the maximum CPU speed to to 14xx and 13xx (again, can't remember)....and this did not help.
Not sure if that is what you meant tho.
Anyway...I gave up and went back to rooted stock ICS (LH9) and the phone is working great. I've given up on JB for now. I will wait for a new major JB release from Samsung before I try again.

Q: The phone keeps freezing when I go into landscape mode.
A: This has been covered many times in the thread, but to reiterate: If you are using the AOSP lockscreen you must disable "Ripple Effect" in Settings -> Lock Screen -> Lock Screen Options
I'm having the WiFi and Bluetooth turn-on issue whenever I root. I decided to go all the way back to UVALJ1 stock using Odin. No problem, flash went fine, hung on Samsung logo, yanked battery, factory reset using stock recovery. Powered up fine, lo and behold, all kinds of settings were still there, including a bunch of old Wifi access points. Back to stock recovery, factory reset again, yanked battery, turned on in DL mode, flashed stock ROM again with Odin.
This seems to have fixed my WiFi issues and cleared out the stored access points, but after a reboot, prior to installing any apps, my background changed from the quill to the plain black background I had been using, no intervention on my part.
Everything I've read says that a factory reset should fix the WiFi and Bluetooth problem, but it does not. Even flashing a stock ROM via Odin is not entirely effective. Can anyone help me figure out a way to completely clear out the settings in my GNII?

Go to settings > backup and reset > and uncheck backup my data... then try again.
I was connected to my wifi, left my phone alone for a few hours, and when I came back (yesterday), i saw the wifi not connected. I go to try and reconnect it, and it says wifi turning on, and nothing else happens, it is stuck there. I can not get it to connect to my wifi. Any idea what could cause this? what can I do?
Gsm galaxy nexus, paranoid android 3.99 android 4.3.
mobile data, calls, text, etc all work great, only problem is wifi seems to be stuck. I tried rebooting, but still nothing.
Any ideas, and thanks for your help.
Been reading other threads. Going to make a nandroid backup and factory reset this baby see if that works. I will let you know. If not I will try another room or go back to stock. If anyone has any other ideas highly appreciated.

Factory reset, nothing, restore previous nandroid from 6 months ago, noothing. Still stuck at turning on wifi, but nothing more than that happens. Would screen shots help I can post them. Last resort going to go back to pure stock see if that fixes it.
If not I am guessing hardware problem? anyone have somthing similiar happen, and what did you get to work if anything to fix it? or is my wifi module fried? Thanks any who have input.
OK, update, nothing I did work, android 4.1, 4.0, 4.2, 4.3, factory, stock, custom, cyanogemod, paranoid, nothign solves it.
I suspect my wifi module dyed out. anyone else have something similiar happen?

Could indeed be your wifi antenna. Had a similar experience with a T-Mo MyTouch3G a while back. Same symptoms.
Are you clearing all caches, factory resetting, and wiping the system partition from recovery?
Last case, you should restore to absolutely stock, relocking your bootloader and everything.

Awesome, thanks for responding, was beginning to wonder if anyone was reading it
What I tried so far (each time wiping dalvic cache, cache, and doing full factory reset from both within android and cwm):
Factory reset on paranoid android 3.99 android 4.3 = nothing
Install cyanogemod 4.3 = nothing
Restore my nandroid backup of bixie deodexed stock rom (which i used before going to paranoid) = nothing
try other version of android from 4.1, 4.2, etc. on varion roms = nothing
restore to google stock (as far stock as possible minus locking bootloader, means yes, stock recovery and everything), 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 = nothing.
ran out of ideas, learned alot though, and got more flashing experience than I care. Did learn how to adb backup, more about android backups, etc though. Some good has come out of it, but my original problem of wifi was and is still not resolved.
Unless there are other ideas, I am pretty convinced the wifi antenna/module died (and a google search confirms others have had something similiar happen, they had to replace the pcb to fix it, which is costly where i live, Argentina). So may just use it sans wifi until I get a new phone, thing has a couple years anyway and nexus 5 is about to be announced.
But I am open to any and all suggestions least I still have hpsda+ speeds 70% of the time.

somebody Help~~
This thread is over a year old, but I'm having the same problems lately. The device was reluctant to auto-connect to known wifi networks, which I attributed to the current and latest CM11 snapshot. Then, a few weeks ago, the phone became unstable, with random reboots 3 or 4 times a day. Clearing cache and Dalvik cache didn't help. I didn't want to do a full-wipe, with CM 12 on the horizon. About 2 days ago all wifi reception stopped. I could activate wifi in the software, but the device wouldn't receive any signal at all (checked with Wifi Analyzer). So I was afraid that the wifi died out permanently. This morning, in a last attempt I switched off the phone and took out the battery for a couple of minutes. On restart I was surprised to see that wifi found a known network and received an ip-address. However, an internet connection never established and the menu reported a bad reception. I then de-activated and re-activated wifi, but that didn't bring me any further. I guess I'll wait for the first CM12 nigthlies to find out if miracles still exist.
Hi guys,
I'm new to this forum. My HTC Desire 300 is not rooted in anyway. Lately I've been experiencing problems with the System UI. It suddenly stopped working one day, and from then on, the notification bar never worked properly again. It comes back at random times, but even trying to pull it down will make it crash. Swiping a notification away and even just doing nothing to it will cause it to crash. I don't know why this is happening. I've tried factory reset, hard reset, battery pull, booting in safe mode, scanning for viruses, literally everything I can. Nothing works. Booting the phone up will show the error message and sometimes the error message will come up every few seconds then eventually stop and I never see it again until I restart the phone or shut it down and turn back on. Can somebody please help? I'm running 4.1.2 Jelly Bean.
I know that this in not best solution but you could try factory reset. You'll lose all of your data but you mobile should work normally.
Right now I have problem with Bluetooth and planing on doing same thing (or maybe try different ROM ).

I wish I could fix it by factory reset, but I've literally done it like 5 times. Nothing works. I still get the same error. I've also tried clearing the cache for system UI app in the "all apps" list, but there is no data on the System UI app, it says 0.00B. I can't clear any cache or data. And I also notice that sometimes System UI app will run in the "running apps" list, but it is "restarting", and it seems like it fails to restart because it is always restarting.
How can I fix my ROM? My phone is not rooted and I have never modded it and installed any ROMs on it. Right now I'm just using 2 notification apps on the Play Store so that I get some sort of notification. But it's just not the same as the notification bar itself. I'm tempted to buy another phone, but when I was looking this problem up on the Internet, it seems like many phones, even the new and good ones get the same problem. So I'm really hesitating.
Did you try to do factory reset from Android or boot loader? Maybe other reset will do the trick.

Uhm what do you mean by bootloader? I think I've attempted to unlock my bootloader but I never actually did it. So I don't think I unlocked my bootloader. But I don't know how to factory reset by bootloader or by other ways that you are talking about. The way I do the factory reset is through my phone's system settings > Backup & reset > Reset phone. I've also tried hard reset.
I mean from default recovery not bootloader. Sorry, my bad.
I recently rooted and flashed a recovery on my M8.
I was experimenting with the Fake GPS Free app, and mock locations. Worked great.
But when I turned it off (developer settings, mock location-->None), Actual GPS doesn't work right.
Turned it off, removed mock location setting, deleted app, re-installed app, made sure it was turned off, deleted again.
'High Accuracy' sorta works. It gives an approx position. But using something like google maps navigation gives the message 'Searching for GPS...' and never finds it.
I tried a couple of apps 'GPS Status' and 'GPS Reset Com' which reset A-GPS, but it hasn't worked.
'Device Only' fails completely.
Tried clearing cache.
I even flashed a new ROM (Android Revolution HD (6.0)) but no luck.
I do have a factory reset option - but I'd rather avoid it if possible.
Anyone have any ideas of what else I can try?
Restore the nandroid backup you made (you made one right?) before flashing a new ROM or playing with apps from /system
I actually did not make one. I've just been reading up what it is and what I should have done and now I feel a bit silly.
When it said 'backup your phone' I thought it was just the contents (messages, data, media, etc).
Oops!
It's still all a bit new to me..
Anything else I can try?
Backup your data and sdcard content then flash appropriate RUU, if it's not gonna work it's probably an hardware issue.
I have exactly the same problem with my M8. I tried exactly the same steps and still have the GPS issue. I also restored a previously made backup and did a clean flash of CM13... this couldn't solve the problem.
It can't be a hardware issue
UPDATE: I don't know if it would have worked before, but after reflashing I placed my phone on the ground outside, started GPS Status & Toolbox and waited for a GPS signal. after ~1 minute GPS signal was found and it works fine since then. Maybe I was just too impatient before.

Looks like you are new to the modding world. But if you are modding the phone (root, custom ROMs), you should always be prepared to recover from a factory reset (have your data backed up).
And if fact, if you are flashing ROMs without doing a factory reset (within TWRP) you are inviting all sorts of random bugs. In other words, the default wipe in TWRP (data, cache, Dalvik) is always recommended when flashing a new ROM.
