Having issues with my phone.

I have a sprint epic 4g touch.
Im having some issues with my phone. Everuthing will be going just fine, my battery will be fully charged, then suddenly my phone restarts. It comes back on, & its suddenly hot & my battery will be dead. It will keep restarting unless I take my SD card out.
Ill take the card out & then sometimes ill turn it back on & my battery will be sorta charged again.
& then its usually okay.
But then as soon as I put my SD card back in, ill turn it on, & tnen it keeps restarting.
Sometimes it will finally stop & everything will be okay. But it just does this at random times.
Anyone have an idea of what might be the issue??

Sounds like a bad SD card or battery....or both. I'd replace each one.

Before replacing the SD card try a simple format first, because if you're like me, you don't have money for a new SD card lol
Also bout the battery, every time I've gone to sprint with battery issues they give me a new one, now I know they won't always just give you one, but if you're nicey nice to them and get buddy buddy they may

I have had a bad/cheap SD go out on me, and almost the same issues as OP. My advice backup your SD cause that fukr's gonna die for real soon. Then bam without the SD in phone runs great..What size is your card? If it's not too big I have craploads of SD's from old phones. Mostly 8 AND some 16gb in size. I know for sure I have plenty of 8gb cards if ya need one shoot me a PM..I'll hook ya up..

I'm having the same issue, I tried formatting my SD card and even after formatting it I still get this issue every once in a while:/

What I sometimes do is just plug in to a charger and then it stops. Wait do you have the same issue where your screen flickers and stuff?

my sd card isnt very old. Plus if I format it, then im gonna lose a whole lot of important stuff, cuz most of my apps are on my sd card. & all my pictures, over 2000.

I font wanna lose the apps I have on my card. I have a journal app, with over 2 years of journal entries & I cant lose all that stuff. So what do I do? Is formatting the card my only choice??

Wow. You need to backup that sukr fast. I have lost more crap from even good namebrand SD cards dying on me. I have since gone to the cloud more or less. Never rely on your phone or your SD to keep that much valuable stuff on. At least start a backup schedule on your pc or laptop. So if it does die you won't loose as much..:good:

Oh yeah NO DO NOT FORMAT UNTIL YOU BACKUP. In my exp format does not help for a issue such as y'alls. I had a Sammy card freak out on my old vibrant that literally softbricked that sukr. I was stubborn and blamed the phone but after testing diff setups/voltage/underclock. I took the card out as to not erase it by accident and forgot to put it back in. The phone ran great. Then I inserted the Sd and it made thephone reboot twice then it just locked up hard. Pulled the SD an flshed back to stock and all was good. Insert the SD. BAM same crap. So always make backups. Nandroid and internal and ext SD. It's a pain but a good habit..

Ok, so if I back up my SD card onto my PC, then format my card, how do I get the apps & the data that go with the apps, back onto my phone??

plug the phone back into comp. Open the SDext. highlight all the files copy and paste. Pretty much the same process to copy to comp,but now you are copying back onto your ext SD.

I got my phone to finally stop restarting, when I have the SD card in. I dont know why its working now, but oh well. Can someone tell me What's the difference between the system storage, USB storage & SD card??

Simply remove the battery

Try to mount sdcard in recovery

GS3 randomly freezing/shutting down

Hey ive had my gs3 since release, but pass couple of days it has froze up , once while just letting it sit and when I went to pick up screen would not come on , it wouldnt even do anything when I plugged charger to it, so I did battery pull and it turned back on like normal, fast forward to today was on phone with wife and noticed the screen would light up but was still able to talk on it, so got off phone and did battery pull again, and powered back on, so does anyone know what could be causing it to do that? And its not rooted.

Rogue app hopefully. Otherwise it could be a hw problem.
If you can, backup your stuff and factory reset (itll wipe int sd too). Then run as bare as you can (no/few apps) to see if it still happens.

Sounds like some corrupt data somewhere. If it were me, I'd do a clean wipe and reflash.
wipe data, partition cache and dalvik cache. flash the stock rom.

Ok will do . Lets hope its not a defective phone

I had a similar issue with one of my phones.. It ended up being a defective phone, and this was after it was rooted.. My wife's phone also rooted never had a issue.. If you feel it is defective after trying the above, flash back to full stock, and return it. Tell Sprint you are invoking your Samsung Warranty.. Sprint will always try to get you to use your insurance, which is bullpoop..

Phone is outside the return period so either it gets replaced by samsung or Sprint

If you have a SD Card - you might want to remove it to see if that helps as well. borked sd cards can cause the phone to act rather weird. I hope its just a simple fix.

Thats true. I've seen that happen several times
Try just reformatting your sdcard if you have one: back it up to your computer, format your sd, then restore all your files

Sd card stopped working?

I was on Facebook and noticed an exclamation mark icon in my notification bar. I pulled down the notification bar and it said that the SD card had been removed, I went to play some music and it said that the file cannot be found or something, so I opened up root explorer and went into the extsdcard and it was empty. I took the back off the phone and took out the card and put it back in; nothing. I took the battery out and again tried taking out the SD card and put it back in, turned the phone on and again, nothing. I took the card out, wiped it on my shirt and tried again. Nothing.
I went into storage settings and tried to remount, but it is greyed out and says insert sd card.
Does this mean it's ****ed or what? If it is then I really hope that I haven't lost the receipt. I'd guess that this card is about 1 month old btw.
Thanks in advance

Try USB reader and connect to pc/laptop. If it's dead it won't work but sometimes sd cards going mad and after formatting works again.
