I have been experiencing random restarts. Sometimes on facebook. Sometimes on gallery. A few times while placing a call, receiving a call, reading a text message. This has happened across multiple ROMS, all TW based, with several kernels. Can someone help me find out what is going on? I have the complete logcat for about 1/2 hour worth of messing around trying to get it to freeze if needed. But I see a lot of errors here, so I think the problem should be able to be identified from this. I stopped the logcat during the boot up process after it crashed.
Thanks
Need to post the last_kmsg found under /proc directory. Don't shorten it either.

I have manually restarted since. I think this is the last_kmsg from the last time it crashed before the one that the logcat is from. Not 100% sure though.

Its gonna have to be one RIGHT AFTER IT rebooted itself. Otherwise, it gets re-written. So wait till it reboots by itself, and boots back up, grab the last_kmsg.

So, I assume that is not the correct last_kmsg that I posted? I don't remember if that one was taken right after the crash or not....but ill keep messing around and post again when it crashes again.

Its hard to say as i couldnt see a kernel panic so im not sure. But then again, there wasnt any note of a user reboot either.
Thanks for looking. I'll let post up here again when it crashes again.

Here it is.
Mine started locking up on me. And I would have to do a battery pull to start it. It only happens when I talk to my wife on her galaxy 3 , oh and I get Her calls on hd voice. Maybe that has something to do with it. I'm running wicked 5.1

I've been on aokp milestone 5.2 for a few days and I didn't know if it was related to the rom or something I did or whatever but I'll be texting or on Facebook or doin something and my phone will just go to the boot animation of the pink unicorn. And I should probably mention that the colors are out of whack for a few seconds before it goes back to normal and boots up.
Edit: Everything's still there when it boots up everything's where it should be and nothing is missing or anything it just literally reboots instantly without warning or notice.
Edit: Could it be that I'm using advanced task killer? I figured it was okay since it was on the high security level setting, just throwing that out there
Thanks for any help.

I've got no help but I can say that this ROM ran totally smooth for me for a while and then suddenly got laggy, and apps have begun not responding regularly.

It is usually either a kernel panic or running out of RAM. You could try the V6 Supercharger for the RAM issue. As for the other I would always try odin clean stock then root and flash ROM and do not restore any data. Download and reinstall 3rd party apps fresh.

Use to happen to me also when i was on AOKP. I only noticed it when i was listening to my music tho....all my VC settings stayed the same after it booted back up so like you said it was just a random reboot. I installed V6 and that worked for the most part. The reboots did start back later on down the road tho.....

If by stock battery you mean the battery it came with then yes. I'm also running aggressive settings with v6 supercharger.
My only real concern was if it was damaging my phone in any way, or if something had already been damaged. But as I've said I really can't see anything out of whack aside from the reboots and colors. (the colors get inverted or negative or something for a few seconds on pink unicorn boot animation then goes back to normal and boots up)

This also happens to me. Same way. But usually when backing out of a text or when ending a phone call. Stock battery. V6 and no v6. Stock kernel and nyan, sammi, and shadow. What I noticed about the reboot is that it doesn't scan sd card or media.

Solution to this is to go back to a TW based rom...try sleeper or the peoples rom, joy and profit

So I noticed this a few days ago. I have the screen set to time out after 30 seconds. It will work for a while and then it will no longer time out. If i reboot the phone everything goes back to working order. Ive tried this with and without smart stay on and got the same results. I do not have any applications installed that would cause the screen not to time out, plus it works from time to time. Any ideas as to why it may be doing this?
This has been happening to me lately too... Don't really know what could it be.

Hello,
you are my last chance to keep my GN...
My GN stops itself without reason one or two time a day.
I have try many reinitialization, reinstallation, ... but no way, it continues to stop.
The big problem is: I can't reproduice the bug so I can not do a logcat analysis...
My question:
- Is any one else have the same problem ?
- Do you know a good monitor system which register all the events on a file I can analyze after a stop ?
Thanks in advance.

are you using a custom rom, kernel, or mod? or are you completely stock? when did this start? more detail is necessary to figure out whats wrong
I am using the official ROM from google.
When it starts it running well until the next stop.

Ok we need more details, did you dropt it, did the phone drink some water, from how long do you have this problem, is the battery making good contact with the pins. You did factory reset?
There is a application logcat, install the application and when you get a reset the first thinc you do after phone restarts is turn on logcat and save the log, and post it here.
Actually, what you need to give us is /proc/last_kmsg after rebooting into android. Get it on the device (most likely it will not be available through adb shell).

My phone never fall down, never drink water .
The problem is appeared there is about 5 weeks.
I think to a battery problem too but if it was the case, the problem can appear when I check the phone but no.
And yesterday the phone was on the table when the problem appear.
I had installed logcat but I think the displayed logs are only the logs from the start of the phone. Not the logs before the stop of the phone.

If you can't reproduce the reboots while the phone is hooked up to USB, I suggest installing an app like aLogcat, and setting it up to write logs to the SD Card on an interval. Hopefully you will get lucky and catch the errors that way.
You can also try pulling out the crash dumps via the following commands:
You can get it using the terminal app on your phone.
su
cat /proc/last_kmsg > /mnt/sdcard/last_kmsg
This should create a file named "last_kmsg" on your SD Card that contains last few debugging messages from the kernel. Open it with any text editor and see if anything obvious shows up.

Hello
My phone stops itself today again and I was recording the logcat but no error the hour before the phone stops...
And already no last_kmsg file in the folder /proc.
There is no event journal except it ?

Check if the battery is always pressed against the pins. My phone kept randomly turning off until I put a piece of paper on the bottom edge of the battery and it hasn't happened since

OK after 1 day the phone have not be stopped.
I think the battery problem is the root cause of these stops.
So the solution is: insert a piece of paper or plastic to keep the battery blocked on the PINs.

Why do most roms OP state to "fix permissions" directly after flashing the rom, when that does nothing... it fixes them in .3 seconds? lol.... pretty sure it's best to do it after setting the phone up the way you want. Where it takes a couple minutes and actually gives you a log of what is fixed. Just curious if I'm wrong in thinking all this jazz.

Ive wondered it myself. Never do it though. To me its there for when you run into problems with FCs and such. I assume its the devs trying to be proactive for those who dirty flash.

I know what Fixing Permissions does, just why they tell their users to fix them before anything can be broken, is where my curiosity begins, if I remember right even after a dirty flash they don't wont be fixed til after a reboot...
my way of doing things
wipe data/system/cache
flash rom
boot up>let sit for 5 minutes>install through TB or recover data
boot into recovery and fix permissions, which takes a couple minutes, if I have errors.
Congratulations, no one cares.

only fix permissions if you have issues of force closes or log cats are showing files as unreadable... basically if you are having issues of some sort.
also, good idea to fix permissions from terminal while booted into android if you are using a recovery that has not been updated in a long time

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...

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.
