Well, it happened, I experienced the first real freezing up yesterday. Everything just became un responsive while on a call, trying to end a call, the person I called couldn't hear me but I showed 3 bars of signal then the dialer froze up and I had to pull the battery out to restart the device. Same exact thing happened on my Mom's note2 today. I can't believe anything could cause this phone to stutter so badly. My phone is stock rooted T Mobile ROM. My mom's is totally stock.
I know all electronics can have the occasional hiccup. Anyone else have this happen? Don't get me wrong, I totally love this phone, gps is solid, navigation got me to a location in an unfamiliar area when I was a bit lost. Google maps had one place on the wrong side of the street 800 ft from it's actual location but I can't be certain if it was a clear night. There was rain in the area.
As I said first hiccup in two months.

Could you please say it again? I couldn't understand if you have a problem with your phone or not.
Sounds like a common application that is installed on both your and your Mom's Note IIs experienced a small problem. Check Notifications to see what may have updated on both phones.
Its really hard to know what causes the freezing as we install different apps everyday. It can be from some apps we just installed or from something else. Luckily for me, I haven't had anything like that since I got this in Oct. 2012. I rooted mine in December but with stock ROM and still perform as great as before.
I usually restart my phone weekly. Its just like something that I used to do in all my old phones. Maybe it helps freeing up some memory.
Some of you root the phone only to keep the stock ROM and stock Kernel, etc.
The phone really does not need it.
Unless you are looking to modify the unit by over clocking it and changing the stock ROM to something exotic, there is no need to root the Note II.
When you flash changes to the unit, there are going to be bugs and other things that pop up now and then.
I have a Sensation runing Sense 4.1, Android 4.0.1, overclocked to 1.83 Mhz, with all types of tweaks. The Note II blows it away in every way, stock.
I will not root it until there is something worth flashing.
The phone just came out a few months ago.
I am sure there is a nice ROM caming down the pipe.
I will be waiting.
I really hope I don't run into this issue with the freezing! I got the phone on release day in store and haven't had any issues thus far.
C.S.
maybe try rebooting every once in a while.... keeps things fresh... i reboot at least once a day.

Ok. After having started the vertical lines thread I don't want to seem like a negative Nancy.
But my device has just been rebooting randomly like probably 5-10 times a day. Anyone else have this issue?
I'm assuming its a software issue knowing Samsung. But I just want to confirm with other people. I may exchange mine if I'm the only one having this issue.
I so really like the device though. Runs fast and smooth. Just stop rebooting on me! Lol

If its an SD card issue then take out the SD card and see what happens or try formatting the SD card. I also have a 16gb SD card that I took out of my old Hd2 and my phone is working flawlessly. Definitely the best phone I've used to date and I've owned 2 Nexus S, 1 Nexus One, 2 G2x, 1 Hd2, 4 myTouch 4G, 1 myTouch 4g Slide, 1 Sensation 4g, 2 Vibrant's, Hd7 etc.

Same here, and also almost the same amout of reboots per day. I even flashed the Stock, deodexed, rooted ROM posted and still rebooted. It always do it when it's in my leather case. Haven't seen it yet do it out of the case. I'm assuming it might be the magnet on the case.
My opinion the volume rocker & power sticks out a little bit to much.
Anyways I'm getting my replacement from Wirefly today. Let's see how the 2nd unit does.

Hate to necro a thread, but better than starting a new one for the same issue Same problem as zoth...stock rooted deodexed ROM, 16GB SD card (but it was doing it before I put the SD card in), not under or over clocked, maybe 20 installed apps. Mine also seems to reboot when in the leather case. I go to make a call or text, pull it out, and its rebooting.
Is there a known fix? Or just return it? Just got it a week ago.
I've had one reboot but I was messing with clocks and voltages. Other than that, smooth sailing here.

OK. I didnt know if it was the ROM or the hardware. Im currently using Mr X's Tmoble SGH-T989UVKL1 Stock, Rooted, Lightly Tweaked, 100% [CIQ Free]
I was having this problem for a while, turned out my internal memory had somehow gotten corrupted.
To test is this is your problem, make a nandroid backup and then restore to it. If there is an error while restoring, then your memory is corrupted and you need to run SuperWipe.
In case you're worried about losing your data, at least in my case, I could still restore to the backup that had the corruption, but restoring it would cause the corruption to be present again, but obviously no guarantees.

It's software, definitely not hardware!
Ok so whenever I reset my ram with task manager my radio crashes and when it comes back on it says roaming then jumps back to Sprint service. It also happens when using ##3282# wether I go to edit or view clicking on evdo will crash the radio. It did this on every build since I got the phone. Its nothing major like b4 when rebooting was the only way to get back in service. Just wanted to point it out bcuz I know its not normal and never experienced it with the og epic.

Its not a glitch that is supposed to happen. When u clear the RAM it stops all apps and processes from running. That us why that happens. Actually that was used to help get rid of LOS rather than rebooting cause it resets the radio.

Ok but why does it do it when accessing ##3282# and clicking on evdo from both the edit and view option? Also mind you it did this on my EG30 firmware when I got the phone. I disagree for the simple fact my phone always did this from day one. Clearing my ram always crashed my radio on eg30 so how is that new? Don't get me wrong I believe they did find a way for the phone to not have to reboot when it happens, but that right there is not it. Its a hardware flaw..

Clearing apps and ram from the built in task manager does not, and never has, crashed the radio on my phone.

I got my phone about three months ago approximately. It must of had eg baseband on it because it immediately updated to ek02. I don't know if what I think Los is, is actually what it is. I thought it was, when you woke up the phone, you would discover that the 3g and bars were gone and replaced with a circle with a slash through it. Am I mistaken?

Ok that's good to know. I got the phone on December and I never got one either. However I did experience the no signal popping up whenever I shut the phone off every once in a while. Never happened again after I upgraded to ek02. I'm just trying to get some info b4 I decide to go to Sprint and swap it out.. Now if those other two guys who don't experience radio crashes when clearing ram would let me know if they ever had LOS prior to ek02 I'd gladly appreciate it. Its just the whole thing has me skeptical..

Sounds like you have heard your answer countless times, your just looking for feedback that follows what you want, not the actual facts.
Its not a crash. It will show a crossed out circle, flash connecting to voice(the 1x icon), and reconnect to 3G. If it isn't reconnecting, you have an issue. But, it will always reset.

1st I'll start off by saying two people already said they don't have this issue in this thread. 2nd how those the 1x icon show before reconnecting to 3g when Sprint disables the 1x from all their 4g phones from showing. And lastly I am glad you experienced the same behavior on all the phones you've worked on. I however didn't have that same experience. Anyways I already spoke to my friend (who works at a Sprint store) and he assured me his doesn't do it and if I would like I can come in to the store so he can order me a new one. Which I will do...
Edit: PS how dare you say all phones do it when I have my first epic 4g in my face and it is not doing this? Smh

Yes I experience this on rooted stock. I have also noticed it do this for the "right click" button also. I don't know why. Thinking about flashing something to try and ditch it. I just love stock with nova. Don't really see a reason to switch. Battery life is amazing. It's fast enough to play need for speed most wanted without any pixel drops and it has the rarest slow down or crash. I just love it.

How many of you were trying to use your rooted stock galaxy s3, and when you were using it, it froze, resulting in a battery pull? I am sick of this. Either after writing a long post, message, or status and it freezes and losing it all, or just now, when I was downloading the MOAR ROM (800 mb), it took an hour and thirty mins, and then at 94% it froze. I returned a galaxy s3 STOCK NOT ROOTED for this same problem, and got another and it still does it. How many of you have the same problem? This is one of the few reasons I wish I havent gotten this phone. Do not get me wrong, I love this phone and all its features, but there are these few tiny things that make me really mad that is does it, that makes me regret it too.

Have never once had this problem on my GS3. Day one purchase too. Sorry to hear that.
I've had freezes due to custom kernel overclocking and undervolt testing, but once I found the right settings, I haven't had a single freeze...and it's been months.
Phone has ran its longest at 2 weeks 3 days 16 hours.
Never had this problem. Rooted since 2nd week in July.
No issues here either; rooted and blue-tified not long after getting it 6/21.
My first phone I had was a dud. The screen would flicker and freeze up. The only way it would fix itself was a battery pull. But it would start doing the same thing within a few minutes. I got my replacement and haven't had problems since. Maybe it's possible you got another dud? There worse thing that can happen is you get another bad phone, or you get a good one. If you'd get another bad one you could just see if they'll let you upgrade to a new phone early. Have a buddy who just that same thing, not with a s3 though.

Overheating means one of two things.
1. You phone is in an extremely marginal signal location and keeps switching between cells. Lots of radio activity at full power will heat up the phone.
2. An app is using lots of CPU power and/or data and may be "running away".
You should be able to get some clues on this by looking at battery stats to see what's using the most power.

I always thought it was something I did, but I took my first one in and it froze and heated up, now this one just freezes. I don't wanna take the 2nd one in because that is just extra work for sprint and I can deal with it. If my computer worked or I could download the moar rom (or any for that matter) without it freezing or restarting the download I wouldn't have this problem. Oh well. Nothing I can't deal with. Heck, it is a great phone.!

Hard to tell. Perhaps someone here knows a diagnostic to tell which app freezes the phone.
But it's most likely something that runs as a service (under Settings/Apps/Running), probably something you yourself installed. I'd start there first. If you have a quick and reliable way to determine if it will lock up (like running some stress test, maybe a benchmark), perhaps you could "freeze" some of those apps in Titanium Backup and find out which app is responsible.
I have noticed this issue since 4.1.2 update on att. My phone is not rooted and completely stock.
When i use my s3 for navigation using google maps, the n in just 5 mins or so, my phone becomes really warm to hold..
When i first noticed this, i took off the case so that the phone could cool off...
This was not the issue with 4.1.1 firmware.

I have noticed the same thing. I use GPS a lot for work and it never got that hot with 4.1.1. Mine doesn't just get a little warm, it gets hot to the point I think it could get damaged.

As far as I know cpu hogging applications like navigation in Google maps usually make your phone quite hot.... and using mobile data always makes your phone hot... It's not a problem at all if you give your phone some time to cool down.
You have almost a 2ghz dual core cpu in between some plastic. It's going to get real hot sometimes. If you're not upping voltage you will be fine with.

My only question is whether this is due to the 4.1.2 update or the new maps updates. Both came out fairly recently. If it was the 4.1.2 update then it seems that for the step forward, they broke things.

Mostlikely it's 4.1.2 update... because if it was google maps issue then we would have heard lotsa noise by now....
Do ppl on sprint or t-mobile also have this issue?
I have almost stopped using my phone as gps as I am afraid it will get damaged with heat.

I will try navfree tomorrow and report is it still heats up my phone.
If it does then issue is with 4.1.2 update, else with google maps update.

Ok, I used navfree and noticed that the phone still got warm... so it must be the latest 4.1.2 firmware

Bumping...
Is there anyone whose phone does not get very warm when using gps?
Is there a way to cold boot s3 to see if that resolves the issue?
