ok guys i'm lost, my wife evo rooted w/ s-off, its been rebooting alot today. she's on baked snacks 1.8. I just moved her files to the sdcard and uninstalled the hack adobe player for hulu and put the original on. I then rebooted the phone and now it shows the HTC EVO white screen, it then vibrates quickly 5 times, go to a black screen and w/ a green flash. I then went into recovery and clear the data, reboot but still 5 vibrate and nothing. I tried going into recovery again to do a nandroid, but it doesn't go into there either.
i think that might mean overheat. take out battery and put both under a fan for a while.

lol surprisingly no but I was bracing myself. I see you found my other post. I had to show her that I was doing everything possible to find an answer It's been 7 hrs since this problem happen, I had her fully charge the phone last night and left it unplug (battery was still in) same thing is happening this morning.
I just took the battery out, I will leave it out for awhile, don't think that would do anything, but I will try anything.
Anyone know if this will be covered by the sprint insurance? my concern as well is that the phone has S-Off
This happened to my wife's evo while I was playing angry birds gonna bring it to the store tomorrow.

This has been happening to me when playing plants vs. zombies!!
I hate it!!
What's going on
games sutting down...
yes i too have the same problem!! i think its the kernel?ive tried running it at 1ghz 1.2 ghz 1.5 and 1.6...i dont have a clue as to why anyone got any ideas/
Sometimes the lock screen randomly comes on and the screen shuts off when I watch netflix. Could be the same thing.
with netflix i have no problems!!! hmmm...
I can confirm it happens with a few of my games. Gameboid (GBA emulator) does this. Where I'll be playing for a few seconds and it'll just close on me. As for n64oid, I can play it for ages and it not crash.
I think most people who play games on this phone have the issue. It may not happen on every game but I called Samsung and they have nothing documented on the problem which means there will be no fix because they dont know about it. Everyone should take 5-10 minutes to call customer support. 888-987-help. They wont fix the issue over the phone because they cant but if more people call maybe it will raise some eyebrows. They will ask you to factory reset, just tell them you already did it. They will ask you to send the phone in, tell them you just want the issue documented and escalated.

It happens to me while playing Nova 2 online multiplayer. I use the kick stand case ( which is quality I must say ) for normal use but when I play the game ( several trail runs performed ) I have to remove it due to heat. Rather this is true or not, my opinion for the shutoff is over heating. Plays like a charm in a cool environment with no case.
Just my 2 cents.

Found this post on Sprint forums.
We all have the same problem. Rather or not you've seen doesn't mean that you don't have it. It does related to Soundpool. I understand that now. I also understand that this problem existed in the internation SGSII phones and Samsung has not released a update to fix it yet. Maybe they will later? I don't know. This problem is very old now and Samsung is giving it little attention.
I can reproduce it so easily now that I could show anyone that wants to see it. I know how it happens and a little bit of why it happens. What I don't know is how to stop it from happening. I'm tech savvy but there is limitations to my knowledge. I can't copy over the lighting rom 6.X to work with our CDMA phone and get a decent fix. It could be months before this issue is corrected.
This problem doesn't affect all games. Just a lot of games because it deals with the Soundpool. There are gameloft games that can be played without this problem ever showing up and some of those games have decent graphics. But then other gameloft games have this problem. Developers would have to completely rewrite their games to be compability with our device. That isn't going to happen anytime soon, nor is it really fair to the developer. It takes a lot of work and lot of creativity to create these games we enjoy so much. It would suck to have to attempt to redo because Samsung can't seem to get rid of their software issues.
This problem exsists on ASP roms so no solution there either.

That is pretty much what I confirmed. We have to change the way the soundpool works or we aren't going to get this solved.
It isn't hard to make this bug appear. It has nothing to do with time played in my experience. I can easily reproduce this issue on few games.
Counting on devs for this? shameful samsung

How can u reproduce it? I though it was due to the phone heating up from a graphics heavy game aka dungeon defenders

It isn't related to the heat. It deals with how many enemies are close to you and has nothing to do with time played or heat in dungeon defenders. Make it to the third wave and stand in front of the middle door that has the most mobs coming out and it will crash everytime.

I can confirm this happening, I've had it happen multiple times on two of my favorite games neither of which I'd consider extremely graphics intensive. Word Mix and Random Factor Mahjong.

This is happening to me on Jewellust after playing the game for 2 or 3 boards. I don't consider this to be TOO graphic intensive; the phone barely heats up. Is this happening on other GS2 phones or just Sprints?

There's a post and another forum saying it's linked to sound board issue!! But Samsung has done nothing to resolve it
I have tried searching for an answer to this question for a while, but haven't been able to find anything for GS2X.
Is there a way to dim these lights? I don't want to turn them off, but I find them a pain on the eyes when watching something in the dark. Also, is there a way to lock them from use when playing games?? My 5 year old daughter gets really pissed when she's trying play fruit ninja and hits the home or return buttons .. lol.
Thanks in advance!!
Its a good question and I have wondered the same but as far as dimming goes, I don't think its possible.

sorry, off topic
can your device run fruit ninja normally and smoothly???
mine cant run it at all, i am so wondering how did u make it?
thanks.
Runs awesome for me. And as far as dimming goes, that would be something that has
to be baked into the kernel. Can be done though as far as I know.

all apps run smoothly on my phone. running bullet kernal w/ juggernaut and use setcpu to performance whenever i'm gaming. burns through the battery, but hell, what game doesn't on a mobile phone
i do find at times my phone starts to run a little choppy, even with everything jacked up it scores pretty low on quadrant. if that's the case, i just reboot and it's back to running sexy fun time.

thanks for the response. so would this be something i could request in the juggernaut thread? or do they only do the rom and not the kernel? maybe i should just go there and ask them rofl.

So i just bought a new galaxy s3 from wind mobile and whenever i use it the bottom part gets really warm. It gets hot even if im just browsing the web on chrome, or going on reddit. Is this normal or should I bring it back to get another one?
that's just the battery getting hot and the radio. Nothing big... usually happens when you start watching porn or really browsing the net..
>_> or maybe I just watch porn on my phone and that's just me.

My first one got really hot too. Got a refurb due to weird camera issues
Second one doesn't seem to get as hot. But I also cannot undervolt like I could with my older one. But I'm pretty satisfied with the new one. Its up to you if you wanna switch. Try under voting before you decide.

there's times when I'll watch netflix for hours and it won't get hot, and times when it'll be sitting in my pocket not doing anything getting hotter than hades. My theory is that it depends on where you are and how much its fighting acquisition of cell towers... but I really don't know (seems to get hot not doing anything in the same general area though, which is why that's my guess).
Gs3 extremely hot.
I have been wanting to make a bit of a rukus about this phone running HOT.
BURNING HOT. My finger becomes sore. NOT COOL to pay all this $$$,&
Burn your fingers. I had written the President of Samsung as a member here had.
They must have had ALLOT of complaints because in 7 minutes I had a reply
to go to my carrier first, see if they can resolve the issue.. Bla bla bla... Same old
Same old... This person who posted had results including a NEW PHONE SHIPPED.
Now-this was more than a couple months ago.
(TMobile) . BTWay, wanted me to Master Reset.
I also have a ''gapps forceclose'' issue. If I have ANYTHING on sync, it Forcecloses
every move made.
ALSO~Was there any validity to the rumor that the set up of the Battery for this particular phone
was incorrect & the reason for all the excess heat?
Thank you as always for your shared knowledge.

So i got my note 3 Oct 2nd did the normal battery conditioning bought my wife one on saturday. Started seeing a huge difference in the two phones far as performance and battery life i would lose 20% overnight just sitting on the dresser. So i downloaded cpu spy found out my phone would not sleep at all but my wife phone was in deep sleep alot. So i had it replaced Oct 9th battery is excellent on this phone, just want to know is this isolated or anyone else have a defective note 3
Any tips on returning the Device? The manager at my store told me I only get one exchange Which I already used because the first had a defective screen but it was perfect all around beside that. The new one, the screen is good but I hate the battery on this one. Also to top it off, I have the weird buzzing/crackling noise when listening to music.
I'm having issues with two of them. Finally got my pre-order shipped to me Tuesday. Turned it on and it keeps restating when I go to install random apps off of the play store.
So I called up t-mobile and they sent a replacement that I got last night. We'll long story short it does the same freaking thing. So I upgraded my sim card and that didn't fix it either.

It is the consistency of the these phones ( not just samsung ) that makes me hesitant to go replace phones as the next may have different characteristics than the first LOL
i was told that i can only exchange once after that it has to be a return battery life was horrible compared to mt note 2 it would stay at 300mhz even when not using the phone
i would go in system recovery and wipe dalvik/cache to resolve issue
Was that for me, I haven't rooted the phone yet?

there is a stock system recovery
I returned mine 2 days in due to the headphones constantly cutting out the music. Had to turn the music full blast just to hear it at a 1/4 of the volume. Then the next song plays and BAM music so loud it hurts the ears. Had the Tmobile store test it for an hour to reproduce the issue. Once he heard what I was dealing with i was able to get a replacement right away.
Since then I have had no issues other then this morning putting on the glass screen protector. Stupid fine hairs and dust. ARG...
Loving this phone even more now. Just wish it had a louder volume like the note 2 while wearing headphones.

Seriously?!? Not long after you mentioned your volume problem I started to experience this. It happens in google music player. I will try other music player to test.
Edit: I tested several music players. They were not affected at the time. So then I switched back to Play Music, it was still happening. I then unplugged the headphones and the problem now cease to exist. Now music is waay louder than normal.

I was having this issues on all forms of output. Youtube, Netflix (had to crank to full blast to hear), Regular player and ESPECIALLY Google. I get about 5-8 hours a day streaming google. I would constantly have to mess with the volume and pull out the phone. Made me upset. LOL
I was unable to get the volume waay louder like you are saying unless i put it full blast. This is with 3 different headphones BTW. Samsung stock, Cheap ones at Target and then Sony MDR-XB600. I know the Sony's are not getting the full potential but they sounded great with the Note 2!
I currently purchased some Monster Gratitude In-Ear Headphones to maybe help. I dont know but the reviews sound good.

While you were listing you unplugged then plugged back in and things seemed louder? I dont think i have tried that but have switched up headphones like crazy.
Returned my original Oct 2 phone for a new one today due to multiple problems. First, after conditioning the battery, as stated by a previous person, my phone began to reboot on its own. Second, many of apps while being used would close on its own, not to be confused with "force closing" with the error message, but just exits and disappears from the task manager. Third, while browsing apps like Tapatalk and Google Chrome, the phone got insanely hot. I had system turner pro's widget on my home screen reporting a CPU temp of 92*C before black screening. Forth, the wifi/4g radio was acting weird. While standing right next to my AC router, i would get an error message on some apps saying "no internet connection" but others ran fine like Facebook, Twitter, etc. Honestly though, as said by others these types of problems are all "hit or miss" because the new replacement I got today is completely fine. I'm beginning to think that its a bad batch in the original first shipment.
I'm using the replacement phone today and just took out my SD card and I had no more issues installing apps off of the playstore. Going to try this out on the first one when I get back home to confirm and I'll check back in.

Yep. Exceptionally louder at that. I was thinking of rooting so I can apply the sound mod. No need for that now! :cyclops: But I'm going to hold out a couple more days to see if these issues continue to happen and see if I can live with them before I call TMO because I really don't want to take off this $30 screen protector again. I don't know if it would survive another installation.

That's usually the case with phone releases and pre-orders. The people who get them first are also the people who are more likely to receive bugs/defects. Likely any phones after the pre-orders and first store arrivals will have these issues fixed. Some of these listed problems may or may not be hardware defects, sometimes software code can mess with things.
