Do you have setcpu or a OC kernal by any chance?
I am having this happen also... I have had to remove my battery three times today to reboot the phone.
I have set CPU installed, is that a bad idea?
I'm rooted with just the stock OS, no mods at all and my phone will randomly reboot every two or three days.

Mine has the new rom the leaked one and does this so often like after every 2-3 songs. Did it with the stock rom too.

No, I'm rooted with straight stock. No set CPU or anything of that nature. But like I said even then ill get complete freezes and then a reboot. Or occasionally ill attempt to open an app and the phone will reboot!!

did you wipe your SD cards when you flashed the new rom? I don't have this behavior but I did have FC's and such because of some files on the SD. I have NONE of this behavior. Something is wrong for you, nothing is wrong with JI2 and freezing/rebooting.

I used to have this problem all the time too whenever I tried to use the gps, but since I've applied the leaked update that problem has gone away. But it seems like you're experiencing the issue at more random times. Have you noticed any particular pattern? For example, whenever you try to play music in the background and read a website at the same time.

Yup mine is bone stock not Rooted and it will lock up just siting there GPS, wireless and Bluetooth off in a very good signal area.
Same here on both roms. I thought the lag fix was causing the freeze. But now im stock jit2 and root.
Had the same with gps and maps with old firmware.

I haven't had this issue happen since I applied the flashable gps fix. Maybe it was an issue with an app that wanted to use GPS running in the background?
This has happened to me several times while booting gps and only recently started happening while playing pandora, but not as frequent as while using the gps...not rooted

Mine has only frozen up once and it was at the end of a call screen turned off. I hit power and went to go unlock and it turned off again.. Would not turn back on but I know the phone was still on since I had apmobile enabled and it was still transmitting wifi connection. Oh I was using eugene's FrankenTwiz (underclocked to 400mhz)when it happened but same thing happened to my girlfriend and she had hybrid r3. Other than phone runs fine.
Ive had some odd reboots where I dont get a shutdown or boot animation or sounds, just freezes, goes black, keys light up, searching for signal boot process. Yesterday in maps trying to troubleshoot my gps. Stock rom,rooted, Ryan's lagfix.
Vibrant vibrating nicely now,Kthx!
Have the phone replaced. I had a phone that would randomly freeze and/or reboot. Nothing I did would fix it.
I talked to a T-mobile worker who had the same issue with one of the early demo-phones Samsung loaned to him. They just replaced his without every saying what the problem was.
I've been having this happen a lot lately myself, it happened to me before on stock ROM due to SetCPU, but now on the leaked ROM. I did not clean the SD card (internal or external), so will give that a shot when I have some time to copy files on/off the SD cards (one reason to dislike the internal SD is that I have to mount it to copy the files, ergh).
I need to take my phone back to sprint, seems there is a hardware problem with the phones charging circuit. it will not mount to the computer, it will sort of charge, but if you unplug the cord, it just thinks its still charging. if you turn it off, it either just stays off until you pull the battery or sometimes it just reboots itself. it will not charge when off etc.
I tried 3 different roms so I know its not the rom.
So odin is out. I have bonsai rom and clockwork mod on the phone. I don't think thats a good idea to take it to sprint like this. is there anyway to get it back to stock?
anyone help please?
Just to make sure, have you tried putting it in download mode? It doesn't necessarily need to mount to computer for odin to recognize it.

Agreed, that's what I was getting at.If odin will at least recognize it and start to flash, even if it fails it'll stick at boot screen.

i have got the screen to say download mode, but odin doesn't recognize nothing.
ugg, I got this clockwork v 3.0.0.5 and I tried to run an old update.zip figuring maybe i'd brick the phone or get it back to stock and it won't work with that version of clockwork. I don't know what the heck to do, i can't walik in with it like this.

Just follow the instructions. Good luck. Let me know if you have any problems. I had a bricked epic once and that solved my problem.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
yea, odin is a no go, thats the problem i tried odin on two different computers, you want to know how screwed up this thing in? sometimes it boots up and thinks its in car dock mode.
Try a different USB cable? If odin is just impossible, remove sd card, take a short piece of wire with bare ends, have phone powered on, and short whatever you find on the back, fry the board. Sad, but gotta take it out back and put a bullet in its head.
Really though, IF the Sprint employee even notices, chances are they won't say anything anyway. Never did for me.

how much does it cost for them to fix it? tried 2 different cables and i know they were working, i know its not the cable because, when i plug in the charger, it doesn't ring up usb debugging when that is selected and you only supposed to be able to deselect or select usb debugging when the cable is out, but I can toggle it on and off with the cable in or out.
Go to another phnes thread

Download a rom from there and then flash it through cwm

Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
since i'm rooted and they would be foolish not to notice i'm rooted and it seems there is no way for me to unroot or go to a stock rom, would it be better to just brick the thing? i hate to do that do to the fact that then i'm stuck without a phone. Plus what if I brick it and they find out it was rooted? can they do that?
If its truly bricked, no they can't. Them knowing its rooted isn't that big of a deal, they'd either attempt to revert it to an official build anyway, or they'll tell you they can't take it that way, as in bring it back stock.
I've taken in 2 Epics for hardware issues, one was screen, the other keyboard. Both were rooted, one was on stock build and the other on custom rom. They restored stock software to the custom rommed phone before they decided the screen was actually broken lol

While that would be the "smart" thing for a company to do, Sprint's official policy on rooting is that they will revert it to stock if they see that it's rooted during any repairs.
you are sure on this?

apparently the policy has changed, as after waiting an hour and a half, they came back and said its rejected because it was flashed and i lack common sense apparently when I mentioned that it doesn't say anything about that anywhere.
If u can put the phone in download mode the problems r the drivers on your pc should check that or try different pc.

Try taking it to an indirect dealer service center. Those people really don't care about things like that. I'm one of those people. I realy couldn't care. I just fix it and send it out.
after flash to stock ,phone stop on vibrant screen and this
whoa, i have never seen that before. i'm sure the dev's here have.
try to hold down power to reboot/reset. if not, pull the battery, get back into d/l mode and ODIN again to be safe.
you might have missed a step or something during your ODIN flash. post your steps you did.
You clearly missed step 2. Which was to remove that pesky little tab. ;-)

On a serious note, what exactly did you do to go "back to stock"?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App
i've had that screen before when i was messing with framework pngs and whatnot.
theres 2 solutions:
do the download mode method and get into it.
-that may be the download mode itself, so just connect to odin and see if your phone is seen as a downloadmode?
I had this awhile back. It scared me a little bit because I have to play around to get to download mode a few times so I can get back to odin.
i get this everytime my phone crashes on my revolution rom.... i startes getting it when i flashed the 2.2 froyo bootloader.

Yep . Same exact thing happened to me when running rom revolution and flashing back to a froyo bootloader.
I had this same thing the other day. check to make sure your cable going to your computer is good. I was holding vol-up and vol-dn and trying to get into download but it would bring up this screen instead. switch cables and see if that helps.
I had this awhile back with trigger my phone just stopped working and that screen appeared, i think it's a kernel crash i just held power down or pulled the battery and it was fine when it rebooted i haven't had it happen for a few months. Ya it scared the crap out of me ;-)

So I've getting the no sound+drop signal problem these last weeks where you don't hear anything when making a call and then the phone loses all signal. Looked everywhere online no solution. I really need my phone these days and i am having to use skype to make a call which is total crap. Then today all of the sudden the phone stops recognizing the sdcard out of the blue, also can't seem to find any solution online. I don't want to send the thing to repair because I use it a ton. This is really inconvenient.
Just venting here , sigh.....

I had this issue with my old LG Optimus T P509 T-Mobile.. it was unlocked so I was using it on AT&T.. I never figured out what the problem was but I'm glad to know I wasn't the only one. Haven't had this issue with my S3 yet. Running stock 4.1.2 JB with ADW Launcher.. what service provider are you currently using?

Have you tried a factory reset? or a different ROM?
Even before that, wiping cache's?

Which problem you mean, the call issue or the micro sdcard issue? I am running stock 4.1.2 jb and i have orange. The worst is that these problems start on their own all of the sudden with no previous warning. It drives one insane because it's so hard to pinpoint what happened and how to fix it.

Sorry.. The calling issue. I would make a call and it wouldn't make a dial or ringing tone and there was no sound coming from the speaker. This isn't happening on my S3. It was was happening on my old LG phone.. it was running stock 2.3 gingerbread of course, but it was surely mind boggling.

I am sorry but I read the rules and didn't see anything that said that no venting was allowed here, this is a general forum and in most forums general means general chat, venting included, or anything else that doesn't fit in more specific boards. Now regarding your question I didn't do wiping nor factory reset but I did reinstall the Jelly bean ROM I am using, and also I tried reinstalling the modem making sure it was the right one. I didn't do more because I've read in the big "no sound during calls" thread that those methods haven't solved most users' issues so far so seems like a waste of time. Anyway spending my time fixing the phone is my idea of a good time. I've had it for one year btw.

I have that happen and then suddenly signal drops to nothing and I get a circle with a crossed line symbol for a few seconds until it comes back.

I have heard of signal problems due to cases but not too common.. just using process of elimination. Also, that's a pain you lost your SD Card.. maybe try banking up your stuff on your phone and doing a clean wipe? Factory reset?

Yeah usually only when a metal case is used does it ever really interfere I suppose.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Possible problems:
1) Wrong modem. Flash one that worked previously.
2) Mobile phone network problems (we tend to overlook this a lot). Contact your carrier and ask if your networks keep going down.
3) Signal interference (maybe some casing, maybe something in your house)
4) Damaged phone (maybe the signal receiver got damaged in a fall)
I've been having similar signal drop issues. Phone shows 2 bars but no data use, no sound when trying to ring out, can't receive a call. If I toggle 2g, signal will spring back to life and data will show. Changed bloody everything trying to resolve it. Orange UK.

So, I have my phone rooted running a modified version of CM10.2. Recently, my phone started going into a "sleep of death" while charging overnight, where the phone is still on but is nonresponsive, requiring me to reboot. So I downloaded Safe Charge and it helped... Kind of. Now instead of going SoD every night, it only does it sometimes.
So, is what I'm experiencing part of the infamous JSS ROM deadlocks I've been hearing about? And is there some way to fix this, or am I just going to have to deal with it until KitKat comes out?

SoD seems to show up randomly... I've heard that JWR ROMs have less SoDs than JSS so you could try one, or if your not into switching ROMs here is an app (free) that could help you. It's called Safe Charge, and the comments say that it works great.
If you read my OP, I already have Safe Charge installed and am still getting sod. I really like the ROM I'm using, but I may just have to switch to avoid this unfortunate issue.

Oops I guess I missed that part... I'm pretty sure that you can find a near similar ROM/kernel setup for JWR... If all else fails, try stock...

No worries. I'm trying out SlimBean because I hear that doesn't have the issues, but not being able to use Franco with it is a bit of a bummer. In fact I haven't yet found a third party kernel that does work with it.
