Phone reboots - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

Phone is rooted with stock rom with just stock apps. I have been noticing that once I am in any app phone will freeze and it will reboot.
I checked the battery its not hot so dont know whats causing the reboots , its driving me nuts ..

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

Does this happen to you ?

Lately I've been really annoyed with phone, for some reason it just randomly reboots for God knows what reasons! Is this common or even a known issue ?
Are you running stock or a custom rom and kernel? I've never had a reboot with stock or on Starburst with lostkernel.

I dunno man, if that isn't happening without some 'aftermarket modifications', umm, I'd swap the damn phone. That isn't normal. I never get reboots unless I am overclocking on perf gov with everything maxed out...and that's pretty much it. If you are getting reboots just sitting there or dicking around on the internet that would be more than enough reason for me to take it in and swap it out...especially if you can reproduce the it for them.
Thanks for the replies guys, to answer your questions no I'm completely stock running stock kernel and it happens whenever I'm online or some apps will trigger it. I'd hate to restore but I think it's the only way
Ive had it a couple times.
It started after uploading app from market installing it while I was deleting one at same time
device crashed reboot took place.
From that point a had a couple reboots within days Touchwiz error displaying automatically going to phone keypad no escape from it.
I ended up doing factory reset fixed it all is well
did you by chance take an SD card out if another phone and pop it into that phone? if so, back up whatever data is on it, and try formatting it (if that cures the reboots, obviously something on the sd is corrupt and not cooperating with the system... dont restore anything from that backup you took after formatting) I would then try a facotry reset if the previous doesn't work. if the factory reset doesn't cure it, I'd swap the phone.

Thanks guys, I installed all the apps I could to the sd card. In other words all the apps were in the internal memory and that seems to fix the issue.
I'm not rooted and I'm getting random reboots.

Sdcard randomly comes unmounted

I get random unexpected unmounting of the sdcard on every ROM.. I really don't feel like seeing if formatting the sdcard will fix it but any ideas..?

This happened to my wife's phone it turned out to be a hardware issue. Go back to stock to confirm that it still isn't working. If you have TEP then you will get a replacement.

Phone is SUPER SLOW

My wife's phone just got super slow like 2 days ago...it just takes a long time for apps to load...to download ANYTHING...and I mean slow...I cleaned her phone...I used sd maid pro...and went through her internal storage and she now has 8 out of 12 gigs free...so what could be causing this...?...I tried switching Roms and it still acts the same...any help would be great...Thanks in advance...
P.s...she does download ALOT themes...wallpaper...and music...BUT like I said I cleaned her phone moved a lot to her sd card...

Download an app called Elixir 2. Open it up and touch on "running" and keep on tapping on the right arrow until it says "top" in the middle. You'll then see which app(s) are taking up the most CPU. If its com.sec.providers.downloads, that's the same reason I stopped using Touchwiz roms and switched over to CM. That problem crops up for me randomly and I've tried many different methods to fix it to no permanent avail.
She not on touchwiz...she's on cm10

Still try the method though. Could be a rogue app that needs to be manually closed. I discovered that the current version of the engadget app gives me that problem, sometimes facebook too.
Is it possible it was accidentally put on powersave Governor? Also clear the dalvik and cache from recovery. If that don't work your best off just wiping. Sheer could either have too many apps or rogue app using up to much of the cpu

Have you tried odining back to stock, performing a factory reset, then reflashing CM10?

O.k...and she told me she went into the file explorer and under android she went onto cache and deleted all of
The files... Would that make it slow...they were only cache files... But under android-data-cache...????

Power saver cuts down the CPU speed and does other things that I don't remember. With my s3, it would take hours after turning on power save for me to see the phone get slow

Theres more roms my friend!! the closest one(s) that are similar to cm10 are PAC-MAN PA-KA-DR they are similar.. it has cm10 parts as well as the other roms youll find on the original dev section and if you ever decide to pay attention to what im telling you... download an app called FAST REBOOT its really simple(not rocket science) and it frees up ram memory that apps are using on background.. its not a task killer....

Random Reboots

So I have been having some random reboots and my phone has been freezing and wont turn off unless I pull the battery. I am completely stock only rooted I have never flashed a rom on this device either. I dont know what could be causing these problems the only root apps I have is super user and wifi there. Anyone have any thoughts please chim in. Thank you.
P.S. I have done 2 factory resets as well

Define "factory reset". If you have truly reset all the software, then it must be hardware, in which case, time to visit a Sprint store.
Reset through recovery wiped everything 3 times

I was using Juice Defender and this was causing my reboot and unstalled it and reflash the MA7 return to stock Rom and my problems have been solved. In my case it was software or some tweak that I did that caused my problem. My phone has not restarted ever since this has been 5 hours.

Phone keeps rebooting (even in safe mode)

So this is exactly what I did before the problem started happening. I was on version 7/15 and I went to the recovery and flashed the 6/10 version and cleared dalvik and cache and then fix permissions. When I booted up, it acted normal for a few seconds and then it started happening. It would start freezing and then get that and shut off. I flashed 7/15 again and the problem still occurred. I cleared ktweaker data too...
Please help, I didn't backup my room (it's on my pc and I'm on vacation) I'm using my brothers phone.
I had to wipe everything and start over. Flashing ROM and everything.

I would return it to full stock and take it to a T-Mobile store or call T-Mobile from where you are so that when you get home you will be able to return it right away

It's not the phone. It's ROM and kernel related.

I think it sounds exactly like what was happening to me. I will try to do what you did and remove my SD card next time it happens. I only seem to get that issue when im updating the kernel on Touchwiz ROMS, and on first boot it works ok for like 5 minutes and then the crazy lag, freezing then reboot loops start. From there every boot gets the freezing and lag within a minute of booting up and its either completely freezing up or rebooting itself over and over. The only way i figured i could get over it was doing a full wipe and re install my ROM and everything all over again on a clean install if i wanted to update the kernel. Definately going to try pulling the SD Card and see if that solves my issues next time it happens.

Did you debloat at all? Like delete system apps? I feel there are system level apps that i deleted and the ROM is trying to utilize them but it can't so it reboots. Cause if you look at the last_kmsg there aren't any kernel panics in it.

Yeah that's exactly what happened to me! When my phone would freeze, it would get extremely hot and just stay on the screen/or the screen would turn off and I couldn't turn it back on
Not sure what the SD card has to do with anything but I removed it before I booted back up! If it happens again to you, then good luck I hope it fixes it!

I only disabled them, but that was a long time ago
I even disabled ktweaker last night and cleared the data to see if it would work and it didn't, so I'm not exactly sure what made it reboot
