More info?
when does it auto reboot?
Does it get hot?
did you try "Factory data reset"?

Did you possibly flash new firmware and that happened? You need to give us some more details.

Well it sometimes just randomly reboots...

I don't got problems with listening to music, maybe some app is messing your phone. if you can't find the problem do a "Factory data reset", if this doesn't help you can bring the phone back and get a new one. It can always be a faulty phone.

My Arc sometimes reboots on me too but not randomly. It's always when it's doing something that maxes the CPU and I switch between apps simultaneously. It's quite annoying, no doubt. My old Desire never did this.
Hoping for a future fw update!

I'm on my third week with my arc and it never randomly rebooted.

It's being reported in the SE forum as well. You don't notice the reboot unless u put your phone within your view the whole day. Thats when you will notice the random reboots.

try ddfw, I ensure you will get one.
I even encountered one when the screen was off and it's doing nothing

I'm pretty confident its caused by buggy software and not broken hardware.
Looking forward to flashing some custom roms and kernels to get around this and up the perfomance

15 times
my arc have randomly rebooted at least 15 times in the past 3 days. it's so annoying. what's that thing with stuffing tissue paper on the back does it work?

i've reflashed mines twice now, and done reset to factory default on top of that after the second flash for good measure, and it's still rebooting when it feels like it. i uninstalled a weather widget, and i got almost 5 hours of constant uptime. i'm about to reflash it again and not install anything, maybe just battery monitor so i can tell how many hours/minutes i can get before it reboots again.
i read about the battery fit, and i have tried various things to try and see if that was the issue, but nothing physical seems to make it reboot, and like some others, i have seen it reboot when the lcd is off and the phone isn't doing anything.
i'd really like to be able to use this arc!

mine just had the first random reboot...first I thought that the battery was all drained out but then realised after switching it back on that it was at 20%...
the phone was on idle, locked...weird!!!

Just had my first random reboot after a months use, was using google nav while charging from the cigarette lighter. Quite annoying as i was trying to find my way somewhere and suddenly realised i hadnt had any instructions for a while. The phone had gotten quite hot - i think google nav must work it pretty hard.

If you use the home button to switch between recent apps a lot (i do) then it's pretty obvious if your phone's been rebooted as the recently used apps list is empty, so i'm fairly sure this is the first time my phone's rebooted on its own.

Random reboot here, too. ^^
I was typing an email with Google Mail app (with wifi and mobile data connection turned off, actually), when the screen became all coarse and broken (does anyone remember old DOS games crashes? ^^) and then it rebootet. Everything fine afterwards except for my email, which was gone.

A few small issues with my device. I'm wondering if it's worth exchanging?

Hello everyone,
I just bought my S3 last Sunday. Since then I have noticed several issues with it and I'm wondering if it's worth exchanging. They seem to be both software and hardware issues.
1. It's pretty laggy. For such a "groundbreaking" phone this is lagging much more than my old Sensation. It's rarely smooth switching between screens and going from lock screen to home screen is also laggy. Overall, it's not very smooth. Is this common on this device? Maybe I'm expecting too much.
2. The music player skips and repeats A LOT. Whenever a song is playing, it will constantly have gaps in the music. It will just stop playing for a brief second but then continue normally. It also will repeat parts of a song, such as saying some lyrics twice.
3. Whenever someone calls me, my voice sounds "distant" to them. If I call someone my voice sounds totally normal but when I receive the call I am either echoing or I sound like I'm holding my phone away from my face.
I guess my biggest problem is the lag. It really bothers me since it's supposed to be such an amazing and smooth phone. It takes several times longer to load apps and things than my old Sensation did, and I don't have many apps installed at all. Opening the app drawer is consistently laggy as well.
Are these common issues or do you guys think it would be worthwhile to exchange the phone? As of right now, I'm not very pleased with it.
Thanks for all your input, guys!
Edit: Also, whenever I hit the home button it takes several seconds to load it up. Is there a way to speed this up?
Also, I am not rooted yet. I always like to spend a few weeks with the stock setup before rooting.
Edit 2: Last thing, S Voice is a piece of **** on this. Literally. It takes FOREVER to load up and RARELY does what I say. Does this actually work for you guys or is S voice generally useless?

Not common at all. Exchange.

Smooth as butter.

Have you tried installing the latest OTA? It may help with some of your problems. For the home key lag, double press to open s voice, then go into settings and turn off double press home to open.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

1. Try this. Settings >Developer Options > Window animation scale ->change to 0.5x or off. Transition animation scale >animation is off
Also make sure Do not keep activities under developer options is unchecked. Check it first then uncheck it. This should solve the redraw issue on teh homescreen (at least it did for me)
2. Did not happen to me
3. Turn off noise reduction

For the distant sound issue open the dialer>call settings>additional settings>uncheck noise reduction. Even running unrooted the interface should be very smooth however.

that is yet another odd thing about my device. it claims I have the latest OTA, when I know I don't. Also, it says the music hub is still unavailable (even though I know several people who have it running)

I haven't actually used s-voice myself, but a lot of reviews said it wasn't very good.
Another thing you can try for the lag you mentioned is in Developer Options, change the Force GPU Rendering option.
Also try limiting background processes to 3 or 4. Though you shouldn't have to resort to this. If other options don't work id still take it back for exchange.

I just tried all the things you listed in number 1 and it is definitely faster, in a way. When I click the home button, the wallpaper pops up immediately. The apps however take significantly longer to load up and the app drawer still takes quite a while to load. I think I am stuck with a return. Thank you for all your help!

To speed up the home screen button:
Double tap home screen (bring up s-voice)
Tap menu softkey
Tap settings
Uncheck launch s-voice
You will need to do this with your new device as well.
And s-voice is generally useless, or as far as I've found.

Yea s-voice makes home button laggy. And have u tried to factory reset it?

Do a master reset without restoring back up. Sometimes this all that is necessary on any Rom. If that fails do a buyers remorse exchange.

Thank you for making your own point.

make sure power save option is disable.it will make it very laggy

I haven't had any problems with my device. But a lot of times when I'm talking to my girlfriend she always asks if I put her on speakerphone and I haven't. She sometimes also says she hears an echo.

Screen turning on by itself

When I press the power button on my phone and put it down (whether it be a few inches or a few feet away) it will turn itself on for no reason. I have installed various air-push detectors, I have tried cleaning the USB port (note this phone isn't even a month old in my hands) but nothing is working. If you know what's going on and or how to fix it let me know. I'll post updates if I get it fixed.

I've had that happen many times and even after running a logcat I've never figured out what caused it. Sometimes an app requesting su has been the culprit but most of the time I have no idea.

So you never fixed it? I'll try auto granting and using logcat

i disabled the alarm and as soon as i was going to say it might have worked, i turn my phone off and literally a second later it turned back on

well in that case you probably have to disable one app at a time and test for a day or so to figure out which one causes the wake up:banghead:
my screen on returned with the enabled tunein alarm option. i wrote them a support ticket and hope they will adress that issue as fast as possible.

Yep, it's an app causing the issue. AudioGuru used to do it to me (whenever it changed profile the screen would light up). Since the latest version it no longer does it

it is caused by an application. usually caused by live wallpapers. install dr.web antivirus scan, remove suspicious app. :good:

[Q] Samsung Galaxy Note 2 GT-N7100 freezes for few seconds every time

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 GT-N7100 freezes for few seconds every time when i place a call or end the call.
It takes around 15 seconds when i place a call and then i have to wait for it till it comes,
same thing occurs when i end the call.
After i click end it freezes and takes 15-20 seconds to end the call which ultimately gets added in my total call duration seconds.

Are you on a stock ROM? Is it for your region? I would try either updating the software (if an update is available) or try a different rom and see if still has the same behaviour. Also, have you checked your phone bill see if you actually get charged for those extra 15 seconds? If yes, it could be a network problem, in which case I would contact your network operator first. And you could try with a different SIM card (different number if possible), see if you get the same behaviour.

Yes I'm om stock rom...I haven't rooted my phone...and yes those extra seconds are charged in my bill..also I don't think so that its the issue of network as when I place a call that time also it gets freeze and aftet few seconds I see calling screen. .
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

OK then try with another SIM card - it's the simplest to do. If you get the same behaviour try another ROM.

You could also try to enable the option "The power key ends calls" under Settings > Accessibility > Answering/ending calls. Maybe that helps you, since you can end the call even with the phone still on your ear.
Also you could try cleaning the data on the Phone app and related apps (Phone, SecPhone, Dialer Storage). If it doesn't help, make a Nandroid / titanium backup of your data, factory reset the phone and see if it still hapens with it in a "brand new" state. If it doesn't, selectively restore the titanium data (user apps only, and data only of the few system apps that matter).
Hope it helps.
Cheers.

Hey thanks for suggestion but I tried cleaning data and cache of all I three (phone,sec phone and dialer storage) but it didn't helped.
Any thing else I can do but expect rooting my phone.
I dont want to root it.

I had the same issue. After a call my n7100 with PAC Rom Android 4.2.2 freezed for a few seconds.
But now it's freezes permanently. Only reboot helps take it back to life. There is no other problems.
I tried to move to another ROM - Root Box. Same ****.
Did you figure out something on this issue?

There are still AOSP roms you have not tried, I am sure. PA in the original development section (now with source built HALO) for example, or the Asylum "Naughties", or even something AOKP-based like the new resurrection remix betas (4+).
Happy flashing!

It was an app causing issue.

[FIX] [GSM] BT Temp Fix for CM9 and CM9 based ROM users

Only for CM9 and CM9 based ROM users :cyclops:​Did your phone just switch off and wouldn't turn on completely when turning on the bluetooth one day? :crying:
Do you really need your data/messages/settings/alarms/call log back? :crying:
Do you really need to access the internet or call someone urgently? :crying:​:fingers-crossed:!! HERE'S THE FIX !! :fingers-crossed:​OK, So, it's actually not a fix but a way you could get back your precious messages (if there were any), settings, alarms, call logs, etc.. everything!!
It has happened to me the third time while using AOKP Milestone 6 for the HTC One V..
So one day you just turned on bluetooth and your phone got switched off and got mad . It started getting switched off within 10 seconds as soon as it started. You have important messages, etc. whose backup you don't have. You're going mad, you just don't know what you should do within those 10 secs.. DO THIS -
First, of all, I'm not any big man to even give out a fix or something.. But what I did really helped me to get back my data..
I was using CM9 UnOfficial for the One V and there came a bad day on which my phone entered a bootloop and I was ruined with all my customizations..
I loved CM9 so I tried AOKP Milestone 6 then...
Again there came to be a day when my phone started switching off as soon as it started within 10 seconds..
I had my Airplane Mode ON 'cause I was in my class and when I turned on bluetooth, my phone went mad.
In those 10 secs for which the phone was on, it was laggy, just preparing to shut down.
I saw that bluetooth was turned off when I pull the notfication bar down. Tried to turn it on, asuming it would solve the problem, but all in vain.
Then it was really important for me to call home due to some reason.
When I tried to turn off the Airplane Mode, the phone immediately got switched off again.
Then I did this :
1. Opened the dialer app.
2. Typed *#*#4636#*#*
3. The 'Testing' menu appeared.
4. Tapped on the 'Phone Information' option. (10 secs were about to get over)
5. Scrolled down and pressed 'Turn on radio' button.
6. BOOM! The phone didn't switch off again! -The Airplane Mode was still on, BUT I was connected to my EDGE Network and could also access the internet!
Then I could call / use the mobile for a while till I reached home.. I made a backup of several things on my phone using JS Backup.. Didn't dare to mess with the airplane or bluetooth buttons them.. Then changed the ROM when I reached home.

Oops..
Ohh .. Sorry moderators..! I think I started this thread in the wrong section.. Someone please move it to the 'One V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting' section.

I'm not a CM9 user but congrats that you've found out a workaround for it. Something smels fishy in your problem cause no one reported this kind of behavior before and I am 100% sure that maxwen's work on both bluetooth and cm9 was flawless.
