I rooted my girlfriend's EVO about 4 days ago and ever since she said it has been freezing up on her and twice her pictures have been mysteriously disappearing. I used unrevoked to root her phone and did not flash any ROM's or kernels. Is there something I should know about rooting EVO's? This is an odd problem to have happen.
Anyone?

Thats never happened to me. The pics are stored on the sd card, simply being rooted wouldnt, or at least shouldnt, affect her pics.
I Googled it and some people have had the same issue but these were posts from least year. I was hoping if someone had an idea why this would happen after I rooted.

The root process should not affect the pictures. Also it should not affect the phone freezing. Maybe the SD card is going bad and when its in use it is causing issues.
If the pictures disappear try installing the app "SDRescan" from the market. Run it and the pictures should return.
If the issue still happens try another SD card.

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).
Alright I'll try to keep this brief:
I rooted both mine and my wifes phone. Her phone began shutting off and not powering up until battery pull. She was convinced I caused this. I returned her phone to stock and got a replacement from t mobile.
Upon receiving the replacement (unrooted) the problem began again.
At this point I replaced the sim. Problem persisted.
I formatted the sd. Problem persisted.
She removed sd altogether and still the problem persisted.
I'm all out of variables to trouble shoot here. Am I just the victim of bizarre coincidence to have two 4gs with the same issue?
I'm at a loss.
Thanks in advance.

I've heard of this happening before. Did you try to see if there was an app that caused it to freeze while on standby? And did you root it again?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App
I'm not sure how I would figure out if there were an app that caused that and since sure never uses custom roms I didn't see a need to root her phone. Still confused.

Perhaps try rooting, and flashing a completely new ROM on and see if that works, or try flashing the stock recovery image from hboot, and see if that fixes it?
Otherwise I think you may just have gotten some bugged phones Been known to happen
Basically when I restart my phone, I get a pop up that says my Sd card is damaged but when I go to settings and mount it, it works fine until I do another reboot. The one annoying thing that happens is it wipes anything that was saved from my phone like DCIM picture and music etc but everything else is still there(that I saved from my pc).
Any idea what's causing it?

What phone and which vendors SD card?
Didn't I see that Sandisk has a bad batch recently of 32 GB cards?
Also have you tried reformatting?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda premium
It's a HC 64gb card running on SGS4 phone. I've tried reformatting off my pc and phone but to no avail. It worked fine on my Note 2

Do you have another card to try? Since its a new device and it worked on your old phone you need to rule out the phone as the issue.

I have also had this issue.. what i have observed is that the problem only began occurring when I inserted my 32gb micro sd card and had the camera app set to store on the said sd card instead of the internal memory. The problem would be that sometimes, upon opening the camera app, you would see a black screen for a few seconds and then the phone would reboot. I have also noted that the camera app takes a little while to start when it does work.
I have subsequently set the camera app to store on the internal memory and i have not had the problem since and the camera app opens noticeably faster. I believe this is a software issue. This is purely speculation on my part but i think it has to do with the speed of the memory card. If it is not of the highest class, it takes too long for the camera app to read and the app hangs and the phone reboots. It also think this is the reason why the camera takes so long to start when it does work.
Hope this helps
I have the same problem, with the camera app, I use an 32 GB Class 10 by SanDisk. Takes time to open Camera app.
I think it is a problem with the SD card, and have asked for replacement.
Also at times when using the camera, with the flash set to Auto, I get an message saying 'Device temperature too high, cannot use flash'. - This may be related or a completely separate issue..
I have also noticed the random restart, with other apps too. Is everyone getting this with only with the camera app?? Or are other apps also causing the problem.
I also have this problem tried latest mdk firmware and still hapens

Well I am running the UBUAMDK firmware.. as well.. so i concur
i think it not cause of sdcard. I have same random boot when open camera app too with no sd card!!!
Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda premium
After changing the location of the files the problem persists. I even removed the Class 10 32gb sd card and it still reboots then accesing the camera.
Hope is a sofrware bug they can fix soon. Cant believe I traded a Htc One for this alpha phone.
Thanks guys

I bought two of these galaxy s fours and also convinced my girlfriend who is a long time Apple iPhone user to switch over. I personally have experience one freeze that force me to restart the phone and hasn't happened to me since. My girlfriend on the other hand I was just getting used to the phone and beginning to like it but then she says her music player would be getting to get stuck and also couldn't answer a phone call because her phone was frozen during this. She said it froze about 3 times now forcing her to reboot.. I'm curious to know how is anyone else experienced this issue I understand that phones can get stuck for several reasons doesn't mean it's defective but I'm still curious to know how many people here have experienced at least one freeze up.

I get frozen once too. I played Zombiewood during 4 hours, and the phone was getting hot, when I try to go to menu, the phone froze, I had to restart.
It happens to me once every day or every two days. I think its an app or two that I have that is not fully compatible with my s4. I have removed a couple of apps that I think is causing the problem.
