I seem to be having an issue with my phone overheating and rebooting. It seems to happen consistently when using navigation or when playing games (I'm hooked on Gem Miner). Always at an inopportune time. To me this seems like a result of bad hardware or something but is it possible that rooting and installing ROMs like CM7 or Kingdom Stock Sense?
I bought my phone at Best Buy and ended up getting the warranty, so assuming I can revert the phone back to stock, I should be able to get this covered under warranty. Right?
My phone gets hot when under stress, but that's totally normal. But for it rebooting, that could mean bad hardware. What rom are you on? Some roms will run hotter than others.

Well how it is it getting before it reboots? I think at 119F it will reboot/shut off and flash the LED. Seems like kernels can also impact heat, as well as custom undervolting mods.

I was using CM7 for a while (pre-7 and up to 7.0.3) and recently tried Kingdom Sense. Under both of those I could only get a few moments of navigation before it would just completely shut down.
I actually just restored the stock ROM (though I'm still running S-OFF) and it doesn't seem to be overheating anymore. I guess I'll have to see what happens. It would totally suck if I am forced to stay on the stock experience after having been rooted/ROM'd for so long...

Its higher than 119F. Mine hit 122F the other day and didn't reboot, unless the safety shut off didn't kick in on mine. Don't think it is much higher than that though before it does.
I had heard it shuts down at 119 but my phone hasn't ever gotten that hot. I've only managed to get it up to about 114, that was multitasking and charging, overclocked to 1113.
When it reboots, do you get 5 vibrations and then the indicator flashes green until you pull the battery? If so, you are starting to have serious problems.

I'm leaning toward a hardware issue. The reason I say that is because I'm using CM7.0.3 and Chad's Incredikernal and when I use navigation I also connect my car charger and have never had a heat issue nor any reboots. I drove from SC to FL back in Feb and had navigation running the whole time.
Yea, I'm thinking its a hardware issue. I just downloaded Cut the Rope and can consistently get it to reboot/overheat after about 10-15 min of play. Only problem is that I'm not sure if the geniuses at the Best Buy warranty center will notice the S-OFF or not and if so how do I revert that when I don't have CWM on my phone anymore...?

You can get S-On by using the "S-On" tools by unrevoked, Don't think I can post links just yet but you can copy/paste the URL below, it should help guide you.
unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/forever
Scroll down to the bottom of the page and you should see a FAQ section.
How can this be removed or undone if I need to take my phone in for service?
Download the latest ''S-ON'' tool to a temporary location and follow the installation instructions above to run it. Once your phone is S-ON, you may lose root permanently if you install an official update
The link to the S-On tool can be found at the URL above, I copied/pasted so you would know what to look for.

I assume you're not completely an expert in this matter, but let me see if I get this right... I have to go back to having CWM on my phone so I can apply the S-ON zip and then re-run the stock recovery to get back to complete 100% stock. Sound right? I wouldn't even consider it if I didn't think there was a slight chance that I'd get flagged on the warranty review for having S-OFF set. I don't want them to have any reason to deny my getting a new phone.
Hi - long time lurker, barely ever post, but I'm gonna chime in here.
My DInc also reboots, and it is warm to the touch when it does happen. Don't know how hot though sry. I've been rooted since November, but haven't installed a Custom Rom, just removed bloat, and added some other useful tools. The biggest change I've made was changing the fonts. I don't over/under clock either (it runs just fine for me). My reboots seem to be increasing in number. At first it would be once a month, then a few times a week, and now a couple times a day.
Sometimes, my phone will reboot just once, and then continue to work. Sometimes 2-3x in a row, and then continue to work or not. Sometimes, it just vibrates 5x quickly, and then is locked (LED flashes), and the only way to recover is to pull the battery and start over.
Seems to happen MOSTLY around certain times of day - 4:30-6pm when I'm on my way home from work (no, not using my phone, but it happens anyway), and around lunchtime (again, not using it, or if I am it's barely). Other times it happens too - but really randomly. I'm ruling out different apps that might be triggering it, but don't think that's the issue.
QUESTION - if it is heat related, and the phone is supposed to go into shut-down mode at 119*, but seems to be different temps for everybody, could it be the thermostat? Could it be registering a false temp reading and think it needs to shut down? Has anyone explored this?
I'm not an engineer, or even a programmer, but I like to play one on TV. Thx
Oh - I forgot to add this:
There have been times when it would reboot, and I've placed my phone and battery (removed from phone) on the vents of an airconditioner, or even sitting on a frozen ice pack (the kind for a cooler) and it would still happen afterwards. To the touch, my phone would be cold, not freezing, but cold. Seriously lower temp than what it was when it was very warm to the touch...
I'm definitely with you on the first scenario. I just brought it to my local Best Buy where I bought it (with warranty) and they sent it off and gave me a loaner DInc to use till mine's repaired. They said, if they can't repair it, they'll give me a DInc2 as a replacement since the Dinc1 is "backordered" (aka not being carried).
jetsaredim - I was able to get a replacement DInc sent to me overnight (free!). My first replacement had a faulty USB port, so I couldn't charge my phone. I have 'another' DInc being sent to me now. Other than the faulty USB port, I haven't had any overheating issues so far (knock on wood).
First phone manufactured in June 2010
First replacement phone, manufactured in April 2010, and remanufactured June 2011 (via ##7764726)
I just got my replacement Incredible today. I just tested my original phone again by watching 15 minutes of video on youtube and BANG!!!!!!!!!! It rebooted as usual. Screen and battery get very warm. The reboots seem to happen when watching videos online or offline, playing games for 10 to 15 minutes, browsing the web for 15 to 20 minutes, using Google Maps with or without charging at the same time, and charging and talking on the phone at the same time. Well, I'm sending back the original and hoping that the replacement doesn't fail me. Glad that I swapped it just before the manufacturer warranty was up.
Have had the Dinc since week one. 100% stock - have not rooted (yet) and stock battery - in the past month it has 'overheated" and rebooted twice. Never happened before. Both times while using navigation and charging. Could it simply be the battery? It's not holding a charge like it used to too which also makes me wonder about the battery.
Hi,
I need to call Verizon to try and get a new phone, but my phone is rooted and I don't want to go to the trouble of returning it back to stock. Could someone post their Verizon GN "about" page from settings so I have the information to give to customer service? They always look for this info when troubleshooting.
If you're going to get it replaced, why don't you return to stock... you'll have to do it anyways and its extremely easy to do.
And how are you sure that your rooting and tweaks haven't caused the issues you're trying to get it replaced for?

I've tried several different roms and kernels, and still have the same issue. Not likely that the roms and rooting is causing the wake lock issue.
Is there a way to return it to Stock Rooted without a computer? I am on vacation and only have my phone.
Put it in a microwave for a few seconds. Then say it just stopped working...

Wake lock issues are pretty much kernel or software related, not hardware related.
You need a computer but I'd recommend you return to stock first...
LOL
"Hi, i flashed my phone a couple of times, and here it is, bootloader unlocked, custom rom loaded, i'm claiming my warranty because i have kernel wakelocks and i didnt even care to troubleshoot or to go back to stock, too much trouble."

Attempting a warranty return for a software issue on a rooted, unlocked device is only going to end one way. Even if you go back to stock, the odds of getting subsequently charged full retail for the phone are better than 50/50, as this isn't likely defective hardware.

Hello,
I have been fairly involved in following this forum, and I think it is undoubtedly the best resource for this phone on the internet. Take a minute to hear my plight:
I bought an ET4G the day it came out in the States. I have tried several custom roms and play with kernels all the time.
About, I'd say...2 months ago, the phone started rebooting itself once a day. Sometimes, the screen lights up by itself while the phone is sitting untouched! The problem got progressively worse, until the phone was rebooting 15 times a day. I installed a fresh stock ROM (rooted), a NEW battery, and the problem went away but started to slowly creep back. At this point, I went back to the stock kernel (was using Agat's), and the problem STILL HAPPENED.
So, I installed a fresh stock ROM, this time unrooted, kept TouchWiz instead of Apex, and did not install any freaking apps, except for the BARE minimum. This time the phone did not turn off. It seemed to have fixed my issue. My speculation was that my phone, for some reason, didn't take the voltage under load quite well. So, I spoke to my friend (who is a Store Manager at a corporate Sprint store,) and he was very kind to help me out in getting an exchange so that I could use the phone the way I was using it (after all, I was still within the 12-month warranty).
It's now been 1 week, and the only modifications I've made have been to install Agat's kernel. THE PROBLEM HAS COME BACK in the replacement phone. So, as a last resort, I undervolted the damn thing -50mV, and even went ahead to underclock it using ExTweaks to 1100 MHz. STILL HAPPENS. I go back to stock kernel, uninstall all tweak apps, STILL HAPPENS.
So, I install a fresh ROM, it gets fixed, gets progressively worse, and then THE PROBLEM COMES BACK.
I'm going crazy, XDA. I just want to have a working phone until July 1st when I can upgrade. Is there any way I can diagnose what exactly the phone is doing when it reboots by itself, and what it's doing when the screen wakes up by itself when untouched? Other tips, suggestions, or anything else that could lead to a resolution?
Note: The phone reboot slightly less often when using stock kernel vs. the latest Agat kernel (0.6.7). It also appears to occur less often when I use default touch-wiz. Lastly, the problem goes away after a flash for almost 24 hours, and then it starts creeping back.
Why did you use undervolting as a last resort if your phone had problems? It would only make things worse

I mean, I've had the new phone for a week. I haven't done anything crazy with it, and it's already doing weird stuff.
I never over-clocked either of the phones, and once I learned under-clocking was known to help, I tried that last.
There has to be a way to diagnose this thing:
I've been monitoring the last seen services before shut-down, and the last 2 active services on the last shut-down were:
1) [dhd_dpc]
2) system/bin/surfaceflinger
My phone did that and I ended up getting a replacment. Stupid referb had a problem with the CPU. New phone works perfect

I will return the phone to the store once again in hopes that a replacement gives me a better experience. I'll report with updates.
hey, i have had my Galaxy S3 sence black friday of 2012, and it is not rooted or anything. but just recently within the last few weeks, it has randomly restarted, like im texting or playing on FB and then screen goes black then i see samsung logo. any sugestions on how i can fix this?
Mine recently started doing the same thing. After being rooted about a year ago, and being stable on the same ROM for the last 6 months or so, it randomly started rebooting itself 10-20 times a day.
I tired installing a stock ROM, stock kernal, etc. but nothing helped. I eventually unrooted it using QBKing77's video (on this site) and used Odin to install the stock tar image. This was in preparation to take it back for what I could only assume was a hardware issue. After a *lot* of automatic OTA updates (maybe 8 -10 or more!) it seems to have solved the issue. The phone has been stable without a restart for the last 48 hours.
In addition to that, I also pulled my sd card and ran it through the windows disk tools which said it found a few errors and corrected them. So at this point I don't know if it was ROM/kernal related, card related, or a perfect storm of a combination of each. I'd suggest you pull your sd card and use windows to check it 1st since that'd faster and easier. If that doesn't work, unroot.
I plan on waiting another day or two before I unroot again, just to be sure it's still stable. Hope this helps.
** Just saw that you're unrooted. If you're still in warranty, take it back. If not, try rooting it, and installing a new kernal or ROM and see if that helps.
i am not in warrenty, i wish but im not. i dont want to root it,
Check if your battery is swollen, the spin test works pretty well if you're unsure just by looking at it. A swollen battery is one of the most common reasons for frequent reboots if you're running stock.
Power button failure known defect with S3. They replace them at Sprint. It's referred as Sudden death syndrome.

I'm not sure if it's a software problem or a hardware problem that's not the motherboard.
This is my phone's original stats, as I have written down.
N7105
ROM: DN3 v3.2
kernal: AGNi v3.9
bootloader: 4.1.2
Recovery: Philz 6.07.9
The problem is that the phone just randomly stopped waking from sleep. Not all the time, but it just started one day and slowly increased in frequency. I eventually figured out that the phone was simply not waking up, causing the phone to (presumably) freak out, because if the freeze happened hours ago, then the phone would be very warm when I picked it up and, after forcibly rebooting via the power button, the battery would be way down.
I noticed IndexServices was using a lot of battery power, and google tells me that it freaks out at files over 200mb in size, but best I can tell, I have no such files. I can't recall anything that would change this when the freezes started happening. It may not be relevant at all.
I could live with the forced reboot for a while, but having my battery capacity killed for no reason sucked.
Screw this, I thought, I have a spare motherboard, I'll figure out the problem later or never.
Nope.
My phone's current stats.
SGH-t889
ROM: DN3 5v2 final slim
kernal: default
bootloader: 4.1.2
Recovery: TWRP 2.8.0.0
I swapped the motherboard in and used Titanium to restore my most-used apps and their data. Unfortunately, the problem seemed to have followed the change, although in a different way. The phone just freezes and doesn't accept any kind of input- no touch, no buttons, nothing. I have to pull the battery to reboot. It doesn't just happen when asleep. I've had the phone literally just stop responding as I was scrolling through a webpage. It seems to happen mostly at night and early morning, which is no bueno. I can't use it as an alarm anymore. But it's still better than leaving it alone only to find the battery down 40%.
It also occasionally reboots on its own. I haven't found a pattern to any of these problems.
I played with this motherboard when installing the ROM and such and never had the above problems, so it may or may not be related to the problem I had with the other motherboard.
It's not my SD card. I pulled it when I still had the N7105 motherboard in. It didn't make much of a difference.
I installed SysLog and got a bunch of logs from the N7105 motherboard right after one freeze/reboot. But I'm not entirely sure what I'm looking at nor what to look for. It's been a while since I've fiddled with my phones, so I'm not very enthused at the idea of reflashing my phone.
What can I do to better pin down the root of the problem, short of reflashing everything and hoping the problem goes away?
I would flash stock rom and kernel without apps restoring just to see if it's hardware or software issue.
there is service menu where you can test sensors *#0*#
you can try to overclock cpu, I remember that some time ago it helped to similiar problems with waking up
Yeah, I think I'll probably have to reflash at some point, just to make sure. But I'm going to avoid it for now, since I have other concerns.
I forgot about the service menu! That's a good idea, thanks!
I've never overclocked a CPU, computer or phone, so I'll read up on that. Not sure it'll help with the t889 motherboard, but it might work for the N7105 motherboard.
Thanks again for the suggestions!
For what it's worth, I have the same problem. It started a few weeks ago. I was using Dr. Ketan's rom and thinking that it might be a rom problem, flashed Resurrection Remix 5.1.1. CM 12.1. For a week there was no problem, but now it's back again.
If the phone is left untouched for a while, it won't wake up and is warm to the touch. And yes, the battery is greatly reduced...
I'll be interested in anything that is discovered....
Thanks.
Well, this is mildly frustrating and not at all helpful, but the weird freezes on the t889 motherboard seem to have stopped by themselves. I didn't do anything beyond poking around the service menu. Everything looked ok there. The freezes continued a while longer, and yesterday I noticed that it had been over a day since I had to pull the battery to force a reboot.
My best guess is that an app update caused a minor hardware incompatibility, and some update this past weekend resolved that incompatibility. I'm going to give it another couple of days before swapping the N7105 motherboard back in and seeing if some app update fixes that problem.
Update: I swapped the N7105 motherboard back in and ran all my app updates. No go; the problem showed up again while I was charging the phone. On the other hand, I was able to confirm without a doubt that it's a problem with this motherboard and not the headphone port that causing the lack of sound output with headphones in. The phone acknowledges the headphones when I plug them in. It just doesn't play anything through it.
Indexservice is still using up far more battery than it should. It might be higher than normal due to all the app updates, but it really shouldn't be as high as it is, so I'm tentatively declaring it related or the cause. Since it's not a file size problem, it may be a corrupted file, which means a reflash in my future, if I want to keep using the N7105 motherboard.
It's possible that all these problems mean that the motherboard is failing. It's two years old. It might just be its time.
Hopefully, reflashing everything will fix the problems. If not, at least I had another motherboard to fall back on.
I'm still having the same problem and haven't found a solution. It often won't awaken and needs a long push on the power button to boot. After booting, if we use it a lot it seems to be fine, but if we leave it alone for a while, it won't wake up.
Is that what you are getting? My wife wants another phone!
We always leave in on the charger all night long (as I have done with all my phones). Can that have damaged something?
I could try flashing a stock rom, but fear this may be a hardware problem. I don't see many participants in this thread...

Yes, that is exactly it. As long as I'm actively using the phone, it's fine. It's only when I leave it for a while that it won't wake and I have to press the power button to force reboot.
I also leave my phone on a charger all night, but I hardly think we're the only ones to do this. It might be related, but I kind of think it's not.
You could swap out the motherboard like I did. I imagine they're much cheaper now then they were when I bought mine ages ago. The Note 2 is very easy to take apart.
The service menu as written above works for me. Not sure why it won't work for you.
Did the new motherboard solve the problem completely? I see replacement motherboards for $45 online. They offer both 7100 and 7105. What is the 7105? I now have a 7100 European model.
I downloaded the EMMC check program. My phone does not have the "Insane Chip" that causes the Sudden Death Syndrome, but it has eMMC chip VTU00M -for what that's worth.

Yes, the problem is completely gone with a new motherboard. Any problems I had with the new motherboard seems to have worked itself out, which is why I concluded that the problem lay with the N7105 motherboard.
I think the difference between the 7100 and 7105 is that the 7105 is the LTE model. There's no harm in buying the motherboard of another model number- I did- you just have to make sure to install the appropriate modems/ROMs for that particular model. (And hey, if you get the 7105- you just upgraded to LTE! Yay!)
Phenomenal. I'm going to order a 7105 motherboard. It will take a while to arrive and my wife will grumpy until it is installed.

When you installed the new motherboard, did you have to do anything with your imei number?
In reading above it sounds like you changed motherboards several times and during that time the problem went away, but was it really the different motherboard? There are motherboards for sale in China, but I don't see any indication that they are Samsung manufacture. They are compatible, may be used actually, and although they cost 45€, shipping will be 38€ more unless I want to wait 2 months for the free shipping by mail.
Did you try reflashing a stock rom? I am tempted to try that first.....
Regards
I only have two motherboards, and I only swapped them out a couple of times. I had minor problems with the t889 motherboard at first, but the problem went away on its own after a week or so. It had actually been nearly three weeks before I swapped the N7105 motherboard back in, and I didn't leave it in for long, just long enough to determine that the problem was still there. I'm back to using the t889 motherboard now, and haven't had any problems with refusing to wake from sleep.
I haven't flashed a stock rom yet. I found that I couldn't restore the data of one of my apps to the new motherboard, and the data was something I spent hours inputting, so until I find a way to save that data, I won't be reflashing.
I didn't do anything with the imei when I installed the new motherboard, but I was prepared to transfer the imei if necessary. I backed up my old one and would have restored it to the new motherboard if necessary, but it wasn't necessary, so I didn't do anything. I bought my motherboard on ebay, which has both advantages and pitfalls. I'd say definitely try reflashing first, since that won't cost you anything but time.
My girlfriend has had the same issues for around one week (exactly the same symptoms_freezes when left untouched, especially at night, and she has to reboot). She has been on revolution HD 31 rom for months without problem ; she hasn't installed anything lately either... an update is probably the cause. I flashed ditto N4 (after factory reset) but the issue has shown up again... It's a european n7100.
We have a solution (I think). I did a factory reset and then used Odin to install the most recent 4.4.2 stock rom for Spain (where we live) . I didn't let Google update my applications and installed just the basics that my wife uses. So far so good (12 hours).
Little by little, I will add applications.
This started when we were using Dr. Ketan's excellent modified TouchWiz rom. Apparently some app upgraded itself causing this problem. When I flashed Resurrection Remix, the apps came along with us and so the problem persisted. Wish us luck.

Weird thing, I got that insane chip but my note doesn't seem to randomly reboots overtime.. I experienced some reboots using some rooms, though, mainly with 5.1.1 releases. Is there any trusty app that really informs me the right chip? Thanks.
Enviado do banheiro
Oh, great! It's good to know that it was a software error rather than a hardware error. Let us know if you figure out which app is causing it. It can't be too common an app, or we'd see more people here in this thread.
So far, the phone is behaving perfectly. My wife is thrilled because she is used to the look and feel of Samsung roms. She didn't like AOSP which is considerably more buggy. Yes, with CM12 roms, random reboots are common. Little by little, we are adding essential apps. We don't even have the phone rooted and may not ever do that since my wife likes to keep it simple.

I also suspected a touchwiz app update, and maybe a conflict with google play services or a google play services update conflicting now with a touchwiz app (maybe not updated). By the way, did you use hangouts or whatsapp ? and what recovery do you use ?
I have just flashed 'rubbaband_note4_lp_4-4-4_gt-n7100_v1-2.zip' late in the evening, had not enough time to set the phone up as previously, and for the first time it didn't freeze at night...

I used the latest TWRP recovery because the AOSP roms seem to like that better. Otherwise I have always preferred Philz. I always froze hangouts but our whole family are heavy WhatsApp users. I have now frozen most of the Samsung and Google bloatware and the phone is very happy. Today root and more apps. Oh, I also use Greenify and it's working fine.
