I have some major issues!!!!
I have tried everything that I can think of and I still have problems!!! I have flashed several different radios, Different Kernals, Different ROMS ASOP and Stock and I don't know why my phone keeps restarting randomly! Sometimes it will go for an hour and sometimes it will go for 30 seconds but it keeps restarting itself. Currently I am running CM7 with the new GB Radio leak. Still happeneing please can someone help ease my frustration with this god forsaken phone! Thanks for any Suggestions!
Just a thought, are you undervolting your kernel at all? If undervolted too much mine has constant reboots.
All I can think of, but by no means am I an expert.
Are you wiping all partitions before flashing?
Full Wipe:
1. Wipe Data/Factory Reset
2. Wipe Cache Partition
Go into Mounts and Storage
3. Wipe System
4. Wipe Data
5. Wipe Cache
Go into Advanced
6. Wipe Dalvik Cache
7. Wipe Battery Stats
8. Install zip (ROM)
9. Power off/on, the boot back into recovery
10. Install zip (GApps)
11. Power off/on
*These are not my instructions. Saved them in evernote but I can't remember what thread it was from.
SD?
Had this same thing happen w/ a friend's DInc.
Copied all SD files to PC, removed and reformatted SD to FAT32, copied files back to SD, remounted, problem went away.
It was a guess on my part, and worked for her, idk if that was the issue, but the reboots stopped.
does it do it when you just install a rom with the stock kernal it comes with? Try running just 1 thing for a while to see what is causing it.
Or it may be a hardware issue.....you can search these threads for 'random reboots' and see that you may just need a new phone. I had the random reboots issue which originally lead me to rooting......which still didn't help. My problem started when I let the phone get way too hot on a car charger, does it seem heat related? Just a thought, would seem more likely than a kernel issue as every time you flash a new ROM you get a different kernel....
I had the same issue and had to get a replacement. Just make sure you put everything back to stock before you take it in. There is a great thread in develompement that will walk you through it. You may want to even try going back to stock anyway and see if the problem persists.
I can run stock everything and I still get the same problem I'm going to try and format my sd card and see if that works.....i don't know what else to do. And yes i have wiped everything before installing new ROM...

I thought it was $50? and I also thought they ran out of Incs?
What I meant by back to stock is unroot, s-on, ect... You mentioned that you have tried different roms so I am assuming you are still rooted.
They are not out of incs, but if they were you would get an upgrade anyway.

hi everyone. ok here's my problem, yesterday i installed acs ics 5.5 rom, then i nandroid restored the ei22 deodexed stock just to test the nandroid restore, just to see if it worked for me. i then again flashed back to the ics 5.5 rom, and this morning i nandroid back to ei22 again, because i wasn't happy of the non - 4g function.
anyways, later on today i decided to go into "my files" and delete 3 of the 4 nandroid backups that i had. because i believe the 3 that i deleted were bad. well after i did that, i started getting apps force closes, and now i can't open gtalk or my text message app.
if i do a factory reset, should that fix the problem? before i turn to odin and perform the whole process all over again?
NOTE - everytime i did the restores and flashes, i did do a pre-rom wipe with acs recovery.

Someeone just posted a similiar issue they associated with the8ir sd card.
They said after nand bkp they had fc's and no apps on sd showed. Wiping cache and dalvik would be pre factory default wipe imho.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Yes, a Factory data reset will clear the FCs. But you will lose 3rd party apps and anything you have set up will have to be set up again. If you have a nandroid you can trust you can do an advanced restore data to get those things back.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
so does that mean that i have to go into recovery and repartition the sd card?
update - heres what it says on bootup - UIDs on the system are inconsistent, you need to wipe your data partition or your device will be unstable.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

None of that will touch your sd card. And you don't need to. The errors are in phone memory.

Awesome good work. Just out of curriosity...did you try the reccomendations here? What were the results?
Glad u got it up and thanks for the update.
sent from a phone using an app
yes i did. i did a factory reset and wiped the cache partition and dalvik cache, and still nothing. somehow after i deleted the 3 nandroid backups, things got messed up. i kept getting errors of framework and gapps process issues. i don't know what could have caused it, but it wasn't pretty. at least i was able to get it fixed with odin.
question regarding this type of issue though, if i would have checked marked re-partion along with the reboot, what would happen? cuz i was really tempted to do so, but i didn't, given the fact that i didn't know exactly what would happen.
If you check repartition you need to include the PIT file which is the map of the partition for our phone. That will put your phones partition back to what it was when new.
ok, and where can i find the pit file? sorry again for the dumb question, but this is the part that is very new to me.

No problem, we are here to help. The PIT file should be packaged with Odin so when you unpacked it into a directory it should be there. Victoryxxxxx.PIT
ohh yea, i have that file. so that's what that file is for. ever since i got odin and started using it, i've bee wondering what that file was for. ok, so, in what type of circumstances can i use that file? like what happened to my phone yesterday? or what?
just so i have an idea of when i should use it.
When in doubt you can always use the PIT and repartition. F.reset resets all the clocks in the phone so there is no need to fear if you accidentally leave that checked.
I'm having the same issues here. Once I flash a rom, after a week or two I get this FCs but I notice this usually happens when I swap batteries or restart my phone. Once I flash a new rom or same rom everything works just fine until I have to swap or restart my phone.
What's causing this? Mine friend epic is having the same issue and he is getting tired of the phone to the point of putting it for sale. Is there a way to fix this?

You are not shutting down correctly causing bad data writes to your phone. Turn power off, after the vibration make sure keyboard lights are off before you pull battery. Also make sure you have journaling enabled.

I have used marcusant and sleeper rom at the moment, and they usually shut downs completely with the screen, but yes I make sure the light on the kb are shut. I don't know much about journaling, I guess I have to read about it.

Then it is strange that swapping batteries would cause any kind of data corruption. I believe those ROMs have journaling on by default. FCs are usually easy to fix. Most times it is a Google Services Framework error. This can be fixed using Titanium Backup and scrolling to Google Framework Services, select it and choose wipe data. Do that for any other app that FCs as well.

Sorry if it's a repost but I am trying to upgrade from T999UVLH3 to T999UVDLI3 but it fails as I have to go back to stock. What is the recommended way to downgrade to ICS from JB without wiping everything on my phone? or is there none? From what my search has resulted till now I will have to wipe everything, but i thought ill just confirm.
If i have to wipe everything then can i just use kies to do factory restore? I am using Mybackup to back everything up.
You really should be wiping everything every time you flash something.....

You could try just wiping the system.
If it doesn't work, then you will need a complete wipe. Question - did you have any complete nandroid backups

I used Mybackup to do a back. Is it good enuf?
Also i just read that I can't do a factory reset. I will have to download the stock rom and ODIN flash it. I am currently downloading T999UVALH2_T999TMBALH2_TMB.zip. Is this a correct stock rom?

Don't want to sound rude in anyway but you really need to just put your phone down and do some reading. Or you are going to end up with a really exspensive paper weight. If you have not even heard of odin you should not be messing wihmth any modems or radios because the wrong modem will brick the **** out of that shiny new SIII. Like I said no disrespect and we were all new at this at one point. But just take some time and do some reading. Google can be your best friend and the more you learn the more you will end up getting out of your device

I flashed DLI3 right on top of LH3 using mobile Odin without wiping anything except Dalvik.
android.process.media started crashing after the reboot, but clearing cache and data for media storage took care of that.

I did that too but when it was crashing this idea didnt occur to me. So i flashed stock on top of it. Now its stuck on "FIRMWARE UPGRADE ENCOUNTERED AN ISSUE", kinda bricked. What do i do?
Try to boot back into download mode and odin back to stock.
There really is a reason these updates have to be applied a certain way. Sorry you had to find out one of them. Shortcuts CAN brick your device!

Look for "Media Storage" in the Applications manager list within System Settings. It will be under the "ALL" tab. Force Stop it then clear data and cache. If that doesn't fix it, disable it completely. You can tell that everything's been fixed if you open your Play Store without triggering a crash. Once it's fixed, you'll need to re-enable media storage again, and reboot.

Worked well but i can't root on JB now... Esignature verification failed when i try to install superuser.zip in recovery. Did u have this problem?
EDIT: Fixed it... all good. Thanks for ur help
I haven't posted enough to be able to ask this question in the development section - I usually find the answers I'm looking for and never feel the need to post - but I started having a lot of problems w/ my phone today.
First off, the ROM I just flashed is the latest Wicked Sensations. Everything was fine for the last 2 days, but this afternoon, the thing started going haywire everytime I would touch the screen. It's like there were multiple screen presses within the same area that I had just touched. When that wasn't happening, it would take a few moments before it would allow any touch input and be ok for a few seconds before going haywire w/ the ghost screen touches. (I know, shotty description.)
Just wondering if it's possibly my phone, the ROM, or if anyone else experienced this. I saw no one else that had in that thread so I'm wondering where I should go from here. Reflash, new ROM, throw the phone against the wall...?
Thx!
Make backup in recovery
Then wipe EVERYTHING, system, data, internal sdcard (if you have nothing.you.need) and cache
Note reflash your rom and wait a day or two before restoring any apps/data

I will reflash, but I have a question about making a backup - if I make a backup of it as it is now, won't it save whatever may be causing it to glitch like this?
FYI - When I flashed the ROM, I wiped everything through TWRP but don't remember if the option for the internal sdcard was checked, or if there was an option. I didn't save any old apps so I didn't restore anything. Once I had what I wanted, I made a backup within the hour. Would that be a possibility next to reflashing the ROM again (restoring from this backup)?

Hmm, you could try that, add long add it was a full clean flash
And in TWRP when you choose Wipe > Advanced Wipe, it gives you a series of check boxes to choose what to write and if you choose /data, it wipes /data/media too which is the internal storage

Guess I didn't read enough
Well last night it took all of about 2hrs before the touch sensitivity went haywire again, so just for the h3ll of it I tried another ROM. That time the bad effects were immediate.
I'm now on the backup I made of the stock and rooted ROM which gives me no problems. Not sure what in the updates could be causing the problem but I would hate to hear that I'm up the creek w/out a paddle.
Going to try installing the system updates after I remove root unless there's another suggestion.
Thanks for any advice.

could have been a bad rom download. try re downloading the rom. maybe transfer it to your phone with a diferent cable. heck, maybe restart your computer first and try doing these steps again. something you might want to try also, after you flash your phone and restart it let it sit 5 minutes or so before touching it as the rom needs to finish building caches doing it's thing,
I don't think it's ROM related b/c when I went to recovery after that latest flash...Well I just happened to be using the latest TWRP and since it's touch operated, well it was a fun time trying to work w/ it while the screen was going haywire. Point is, it did it in recovery, too.
My thoughts are this - try installing system updates like 'normal' and if nothing goes wrong w/ the screen, then try a ROM but skip the part of clearing the system data and only wipe cache and dalvik.
How does that sound?

I was going to throw out hardware issue too. @ the op, does stock still not give you the ghost touch issue still? If it doesn't, then I'm not sure entirely. I'd recommend using a different recovery and checking the md5 of your rom then do a completely clean flash. Maybe your phone just doesn't play nicely with twrp
Sent from my SPH-L710
Yes, I was thinking hardware too but I'm just confused as to why it's only w/ updated software that it goes goofy. That's why I was thinking of trying the updates on the stock ROM to see if that was where the problem was. If it is, then I'm insured and should be able to take it in to the Sprint store.
With the original ROM I first tried, I tried 4 different downloads and when I first noticed the problem, that's when I went to the Wicked Sensations ROM. These all included the most recent OTA.
Btw.. I mostly download to my phone via my WiFi. I did try pc to phone in that ROM that I downloaded several times, but it was still the same.

I've only tried TWRP in the last couple days b/c it was suggested in the installation instructions of the particular ROMS. Would like to know why.
I like it, but CWM has never done me wrong.
Flashed the updated stock rom from this thread and kept root w/ the zip that's on that thread. Nothing's happening, of course, which is not only confusing but irritating.
Just downloaded the last ROM I tried last night onto my laptop and will transfer it and try it again after I make a backup of its current state. Will also take the suggestion of letting it sit for several minutes before seeing if the ghost is still following me.

Always check md5 of Rom downloads, that will rule out a bad download

Personally, I would resort to odin and start from a fresh slate. See if you can wipe the system and internal storage from twrp(or cwm), then flash the stock image and go through the whole rooting process (using the toolbox). That way, you can rule out software related issues if it's still a problem. Also, I'd see if it's still there before rooting..that's what I would do...

My bad... You JUST said you basically did that...
I did as I said I was going to do and flashed the stock. Lost my recovery so I tried Odin for the first time and put it back on there and proceeded to make a backup of its current state.
A few hours later I went ahead and flashed the new from I transferred over and I'm happy to say that everything is allll good... so far.
Never had any problems on the updated stock so it doesn't seem to be hardware related but it took a couple days later on one rom which is when I originally posted.

[Q] Phone was fine, ran out of battery, now "System Ui Has stopped" every few seconds
Hey,
Note 2 running PACMAN rom, android 4.3.
I woke up and checked it at 8am, no problems at all. Went to use it at 1pm and it had run out of battery. I plugged it into my computer to charge it, turned it on and it said "System UI has stopped. Blame Tyler" - and continues to do this every time you press OK, with about a 3 second gap in between each one.
I restart my phone quite regularly and I don't think I've installed anything that could be causing this. I've disabled XPosed but same problem. Any other ideas? Otherwise I'll have to just wipe it and start again, perhaps with CM. I need a working phone for tomorrow though!
Cheers
Maybe a silly question, but have you wiped cache and dalvik cache from recovery? If not try it.

This seems quite sinisiter - thanks for the suggestion but it hasn't worked, and it's unearthed something more concerning about the state of my phone (the TWRP messages, see below). Can't believe I didn't think to do that myself though! (I haven't messed around with ROMs for quite a while so am out of practice, I've had this one for a few months).
Delvik cache completed, then said something like "updating partition details. E: Error opening '/data/system/...." I/O Error" and various APKs - one of which was system UI. Wiping the cache again told me done, but loads of errors of similar APKs (This time in /data/data/ though). This sounds incredibly ominous though and I've never seen that error before in any of the wipes or anything I've done.
Restarted it but the system UI error messages persist. I want to wipe and install a fresh ROM but I'm worried I'm going to be left with a totally useless phone if things won't wipe or flash properly. Any ideas would be great.
If anything goes wrong u still have the option to flash a new rom through odin.

I'm currently downloading a rom to flash with odin. I tried to do a nandroid backup but the same I/O errors appeared. I have no idea what could have caused this as the phone was running absolutely fine yesterday!

Helped me 90% of the times. Go to TWRP -> Advanced -> Fix Permissions
