[Q] Serious troubles - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

So, I was running pacrom 4.3.1, but myphone started rebooting constantly and not working well, so I flashed on cm10. Well, my phone is doing the same thing again. I have backups, but is it the phone or the roms? any suggestions?
Edit: The phone is working again as it should, but the lock button was acting a little funny. I think it may be a hardware issue, anyone else experience this?

The power button on these phones are known to cause issues.

Swipe to call or text

So...does anyone else get this problem?
It is intermittent but very annoying when it happens. When I go to a contact and swipe there name to call them the phone will not call.. it freezes up and then 20 seconds or so later will call.
Anyone else get this?

you got too much stuff running in the background
it does it immediately for me
Thats not it. It does it with nothing running in the background. I've checked that before. I've killed everything then tried and still did it

I had that on complete stock kl1. I used tl swipe over and pver again and then like 20 seconds later it used register all the swipes at once and call like 5 times. Really annoying. I flashed stock deodexed and the problem hasn't happened since.

same here.. happens ALL the time for me.. was thinking about taking my phone in for it.
That's why I posted this.. if this is not a common problem and only a few people are experiencing it.. I'm gonna have my phone replaced

Don't think replacing the phone will solve it.
Try stock Deoxed or any one of the custom ROMS. I've been running smooth as butter with Vultures 4.1 + Synergy Kernel and getting better batt. life than stock.
Hope that helps.

Why wouldnt replacing the phone solve it? That doesnt make sense.. i never had that problem before rooting and hella-flashing.. it has to be an issue with the phone. (For the record, that doesnt mean i dont recommend flashing a custom rom and kernal!! )

My phone is completely stock (not even rooted) and it occasionally does the same thing you describe. I just reboot when it does it and it seems to stop.

Because sometimes odex files will mess up things if it was your phone. You would have problems swiping left to right for screens. Meaning the digitizer was damage. Just flash a Rom and the problem will go away.

Shutdown BUG (solved not big deal)

Sometimes, not every time, when I shutting down phone restarting and power up by himself. Does anyone experience same issue?

Yes, I have this. I thought it was only when plugged in, but it happens unplugged as well, did it several times today when going back and forth to CWM. I don't recall this happening before root.
Me too

Have you tried to root? Not that it makes a difference here.
It seems like this happens the first shutdown after reboot. I'm going to test that theory when time permits.

I'm not tried to root my phone, I'm ok with unrooted. I tried to shutdown phone few times without use any app - shutdown was ok. I tried use chrome app after system start and shutdown was ok. But 5 times shutdown after using only xda app restarting my phone. I think bug in xda app.

That didn't make any sense, lol, I think what I meant was, "It seems like this happens on the shutdown after doing anything with adb." But I have no idea, it seems completely random. Today it happened once, and I've rebooted at least 4 times flashing and doing backups etc..
I'm not too worried about it, as I never keep my phone off. The only time it gets me, is if I shutdown to get into cwm. I may set the phone down to do something, I'll get back thinking I can power on and tap Sony but the phones already booted, lol. Also, I have a feeling I'll be doing a lot of flashing and wiping soon, so it will all be different anyway.
So I had this issue today. Went to reboot my phone after putting a add block on the device and it would just restart. Kept doing it till I did a hard reset and has been fine since. Kinda odd.

Touch Sound Question

Is there a reason that my touch sounds would randomly turn themselves on? It happens randomly throughout the day. Could it be cause from rooting flashing restoring or any of that good stuff?

Its a bug in some of the custom roms. I believe someone said it was caused by having the camera mute on and switching to video mode.

I'm not on a custom ROM though. I'm on the stock ROM that came with the phone.

Idk either. It might be a glitch in the latest OTA kind of like what happened with the WiFi bug on the OGEvo with 4.67 and up where it would randomly disconnect. I know JB is coming soon so hopefully something that they do will magically fix it, lol.
yup, the touch sound comes on whenever I reboot the phone. Fortunately I rarely reboot, like maybe twice a week.
I'm on stock rooted LG8

Screen Sensitivity

Has anyone else noticed that the screen seems to lose/gain sensitivity? For example, when I'm scrolling through my contacts it will randomly select one of the contacts. Or it will all of a sudden scroll really fast down the list. This is my third one, and they have all done it. The selecting of random stuff while scrolling is very annoying. Happens in all apps.. Facebook, Tapatalk, Contacts, Browser...

I rooted right away, but haven't flashed a custom Rom yet. I use my phone all day long for work, and it started getting to be too much always loading custom roms, not knowing what might bug out on you half way through the day. Don't get me wrong, I have been a flash addict for years lol but I'm trying to hold myself back for now.
But is this a known issue with stock? I would think it would have to be if it's fixed in custom Roms, wouldn't it? Because it would seem to be something that is intentionally fixed.

I honestly havent noticed this happening. Have you checked to make sure you dont have anything eating up your memory or processor? You said its happened on multiple phones, all GS3's i gathered, but its possible you may have an app that just isnt playing well with others....

[Q] please help with random hung of the phone

My wife is using the lg optimus g, i had it flash to pageplus. it is currently running cyanogen 4.4.2.
Everything is running good, except once a while, she would experience random phone hung.
When it hung, it will not response to screen, button, but the blue light still on.
Only sometime, pressing the power button a long time it will reboot the phone.
Most of the time, pressing the power button does nothing. It will just stay unresponsive.
Usually, when she waits a while, a long while, the phone will become responsive again, on its own.
I have try various android 4.3 and 4.4 and seems to have the same problem.
I am thinking it might be an app she uses that might cause the problem.
As my wife is using the phone, i dont have a chance to experience the hung and to investigate the problem.
Has anyone experience this problem? Is there any logging tool that i can put on the phone to log what is causing this hung?

Look around in the "About phone" section of your settings. I have had this problem with some older gee based ROMs. Problem seems to be gone or greatly reduced in the newest versions.
