[Q] Phone freezes randomly

hi guys,
I'm flashing CM7.0.3. Everything seemed to run for like 4 months but about a week ago, my phone started freezing up randomly. When I'm in any application, it just freezes up, about 4 times an hour, so it's really annoying. The screen just displays what ever it was displaying when the phone froze and doesn't go to sleep. I just can't do anything. All I can do is do a batterypull. It started happening after I installed ADW EX so i uninstalled it. That didn't help... I posted this problem on the cyanogen forum too but that didn't help...
Can someone please help me?
Thanks,

Maybe try flashing the ROM again. CM7 has had a lot of updates in the past 4 months anyway, and is on version 7.1. You might even be able to update the ROM without wiping data. But if the problem persists, try wiping dalvik, cache, data and re-flash.

Strange occurence of phone constantly restarting.

Hello,
I have owned a Sprint Galaxy S III since August of 2012 and have been using it pretty much flawlessly until this week.
To give some history, I rooted it once it became a common thing to do and have CWM-based Recovery v5.5.0.4.
I have loaded many different roms - cyanogenmods, m.o.a.r., wicked, miui to try out and many others and have never had an issue.
I recently upgraded to M.O.A.R. v 6.0 at home and everything seemed great - loaded apps, settings, etc. The next day on the way to work, the phone restarted by itself. I thought was strange but chalked it up to a new rom issue. When I got to work, the frequency of the issue increased to the point that the phone was no longer usable as it would just continue to restart, boot, etc.
Restoring the rom I previously had did nothing to help the issue.
I looked up online at possibilities and came across the SD card issue. I replaced it, but still occurs. I've tried a few different roms and no matter what, it seems to continuously boot and restart based on certain locations that I am in or am passing through.
Today, I turned off 4G LTE as preferred mobile network and it seemed to keep the phone on. I have not done extensive testing, but could this be an issue? I am able to use 4G LTE at home with no problem as well as other areas, but it seems that once I am in or pass through certain locations, that it is crashing my phone? Maybe the GPS?
Are there any tips or suggestions of what I can do or try? I am at a loss as to how to fix this when it has not been an issue up until this week after flashing to MOAR v6.0. I've wiped data, cache, dalvik, many times and retried but still is happening.
Any feedback would be much appreciated.

At first it sounded like sudden death syndrome (a power button failure) but when you said turning off 4G fixed it that is very weird. Have you tried asking in the M.O.A.R thread?

Could be your kernel. Or any kernel tweaks you are using

Are you restoring any System Data ? I would suggest doing a Clean install. Meaning a FULL Wipe : System - Data - Dalvik - Dalvik Cache - Factory Reset ( 3x's ) . I also like to wipe Internal Storage. But that's up to you. Then Flash the Rom, and let it Boot. Do not load anything, or tweak anything. Just leave the device alone for the first 5min. Then test it to be sure everything is working correctly before loading apps, or doing any settings.

Just to update...
I clean installed MOAR 6 again - this time I upgraded CWM to latest version. I clean wiped data/cache, cache, dalvik about 3 or 4 times. Once it reinstalled, I noticed the data wasn't working at all so I did that ##72786# (forgot numbers off top of head) that reactivated phone. The data came back and I thought this was going to solve all the issues...keep in mind I did all this in the evening from home last night.
On the way to work this morning, sure enough once I got in the vicinity of work, phone restarted a few times. I was quick enough to catch it one time to turn preferred mobile networks to 3G first and disable 4G... my phone has not restarted for the rest of the day.
It's great that it seems the issue is isolated to 4G, but I don't understand how it can be fine in some areas and not in others. For instance, at home, 4G works just fine.
I think I will try to go back to stock or try an aosp rom. I've seen in some places talk of MB1 and MD4...is there a way to tell which I have or is that related to anything?

Actually, yes - I have been putting my gmail account information in and it has been syncing the apps. It's just so odd because I haven't had issues for over a year and I don't recall installing any new stuff.

well, now it happened at home when turning on 4g... damn.

You did not mention wiping system. If you do not Wipe system, and also Factory Reset then it's really not a Clean install. I would still suggest a FULL Wipe, and Clean install. Then run the Device for a while without adding anything. See how it performs.

I ended up just flashing this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1904099 to stock with flash reset.
I am not sure about wiping system - I always just follow the steps of the rom wipe data/cache/dalvik. I will have to research on how to wipe system.

If you never wipe system you are definitely going to run into problems.

You just do it in Recovery before you flash. If you look at my Sig on a PC / Internet Mode there is a link on how to do Full Wipe before flashing a Rom.

Phone rebooting every 2 minutes

Hey,
I have been using the ROM since version 1. I love it.
Two days ago, my phone suddenly started rebooting every 2 minutes. I re-installed the ROM after wiping everything (system, cache, internal memory, ...). This didn't help.
I have no idea what is causing that. It is driving me crazy.
Anyone knows what could be the reason?
Thanks

which ROM..?

I also am having the same problem reboot 3-4 times in a hour. first i thought it was the power. cleaned it but now it seem to always reboot coming up from sleep. .. I have try everything I can remember, wipe , reset, installing clean ROMs or changing recovery Tried New 4.3 roms and same ROM DocHoliday77 43 stock and i have us. Only have if you press the slee/power bottons
I have even changed recover
.. Help

Still it does not tell me what Rom has this issue and what Kernel ?
Based on what you have mentioned, I didn't see you mention anything about Restored apps.
Please do a System Reset and re-flash just the DocHoliday's Rom. Do not attempt to restore any apps. Please observe for a day or two to see if the problem recurs. If it does not then you can restore the apps one by one. Observe after each one to see if the problem appears.

[Q] Reboot, no network, can't enable wifi

Hello,
i recently had the reboot issue with my xperia ZL. It just started to reboot indefinitly.
I noticed that some people fixed the problem installing a previous android version. So that's what I did. I used flashtool to install Android 4.1.2. (got the rom from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2350977)
The problem was solved for a few hours. But then i lost network signal and couldnt enable wifi anymore. Also it eventually reboots again (although now it takes more time, it does not reboot imediatly after booting, like the first issue).
Any tips on how to solve this problem? Could it be battery related?
My xperia currently: Android 4.1.2, build 10.1.a.1.434, bootloader unlocked.

thats a pretty old android for the zl... What were you using? Are you wiping / clearing cache before reinstalling? I would think if it was battery related you would not have any problems if it was connected to the charger... might try that..

i was using 4.4.2 when the first boot loop problem occurred.
I did wipe cache before installing the current rom.
I also tried to install later versions, but no luck with any of them. When trying to install later android versions, i would eventually get the "process system not responding" error right after start up, and then reboot again. Also no network or wifi. At 4.1.2. at least i'm not getting the processes system error message at least.

Robin randomly rebooting

Anyone have issues with their nextbit Robin randomly rebooting?? I'm on stock 7.1.1 and it reboots on me multiple times a day... Tried a hard reset and clearing Android cache nothing helps!! Even did a factory reset and the problem is still there... It's totally random not app specific I'm not sure what to do...... Thanks for the help!!

I'm not doubting you, but are you actually seeing it reboot? I had another phone do the same thing on Nougat, but it was only "acting" like it was rebooting. I would put it down and after 10 minutes it would say I have to enter my pin after a reboot. I haven't experienced it on the Robin (yet), but the only fixes I found that work were a full wipe & reinstall then installing one piece of software at a time from my Google Library or installing a custom ROM.

I'm going to definitely try unlocking the bootloader and a reflash maybe even try a different image . Yes it is most definitely rebooting, seems if memory get full having to many apps open it reboots, I've had it reboot multiple times when I was actually using it, during Google maps, chrome and even Facebook.. I've even tried deleting certain apps but it still reboots randomly....

Bumping this, because we have one doing this now. It's been fine up until probably a couple weeks ago. Seems to be under moderate use. Wife's phone. I've seen it happen, too. It locked up, wouldn't respond to any input, then it did a full reboot. She says it happens at least once a day.
Using LOS 14.1.

This could be due to battery degradation.

Happened to me too. Stock rom. Reboots 3-4 times a day. Now all of a sudden it got stuck in an endless reboot cycle. I posted about that in another thread

Now mine is doing it, too. If it was the battery shouldn't it show with the discharge rate? They can show a full charge and still do it. Can even do it while charging. Mine just now did it while charging. Didn't get hot either. Just locked up and rebooted.
