Samsung galaxy s 2 phone restarting 3 times on its own sitting on the desk without any apps in background or anything like that. The phone is not rooted and it has all the updates. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Alex
Thats one of androids many features' all of my android devices has that problem.
Haven't had a single reboot on mine. Think I had 150 hours uptime before I flashed the KE1 update.
Maybe time for a cache wipe in recovery or if that doesn't work try factory reset.

Already tried to factory reset for 2 times with no luck
Can you get a dmesg of this happening, or last_kmsg if enabled in kernel?
Cant get the last_kmsg because the phone isn't rooted, now it crash every time i start an application other then browser or the dialer, contacts...
Could you please explain how to enable last_kmsg in kernel or is there any way to get the dmesg without rooting the phone?

So, I have a backup of my rom from another device that I installed. What I need to do is change the sync account, but it says I can not remove it. Fine, so I try to add another and it says google can not establish a reliable connection.
If I factory reset the device, it will sit at the boot logo and keep crashing until I restore from backup.
If i install a new rom, only one actually worked but it seemed to be an older one (Different icons, missing the Hubs)
What can I do? I already completely bricked one device trying to get this fixed. I really gotta get this going, how can I either wipe it all out completely so I can set it up new again, or find the stock USA/Canada Rom?
Thanks!!
Ps, here is the thread I already have where i speak about bricking my other phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1175098
Dude please stop whatever you're doing. You seems to be getting yourself in a mess.
First do some reading on how to flash with Odin and then flash a stock firmware to the device and do a cache wipe and factory reset in the recovery menu. When you boot into the device do a hard reset and then stop messing with the device.

The thing is, if i do a factory reset, it will not boot for some weird reason :/
Thats all I am trying to do, I just need to get back to stock then i'm sitting there. The only thing that actually seems to work is the backup I have on it right now, but I can not reset any of the settings to actually be able to start using the thing
this is the second one you've messed up? use one of the other 2 but don't try to do a restore just download all your apps manually. and send me one of the messed up ones.

Yup, haha
I have a Jig on the way, ill see how that goes
Well I would also like to change the sync account, which it will not let me ://
I just reflashed like 8 times in the last hour trying different roms, none are working
Stop.
There is a bug when you wipe, which stops boot...
Affects older stock roms.
Newer ones should be OK, as should custom ROMs

So what can I do?
I also cant even find any Stock USA roms, which is weird
I just got it to finally boot with another rom
The only thing different is it by default has some widgets added, and the Messaging app has a different icon. All the hubs are also intact
*Roots, makes a backup*

All seems to be working now. Woo whoo!
I have 4 And 2 of the 10.1 tabs
I am working closely with Samsung on one of their new marketing projects, which is why I get all of these
So, factory resetting this image screws up too.
But its okay, as I got a blank backup now with no accounts. So I'm all set
Also, just got the email confirmation that my jig shipped out.
You should probably donate one of the "b0rk3n" device to a dev.
I'm not sure if this is the right section.. I apologize in advance. Alright so, right now, i'm using a rooted mytouch 4g without a data plan. Whenever i'm using my phone, a message appears at the bottom saying, "Connecting Network, please wait for a while." I'm not sure if its one of my apps or what.. but I don't remember downloading an apps that constantly needed wi-fi. Any ideas on how to get rid of it?

First of all,this is NOT the right place to open this thread.Here is the place to ask Questions.http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=830.Next time use it.
Now,about your problem.Explain more about this.Do you get just "Connecting Network, please wait for a while" message or you actually can not see your Network signals?Explain..Did not you make a Factory reset and see still have the problem?
You said you that your phone is rooted,no.What ROM you currently running?
Every now and then when I use my phone, the "Connecting Network, please wait for a while" message appears. And when I look at my connections, I have full signal, and my wifi isn't turned on either. And a factory reset? I'm afraid I have no tried that yet. I'm scared to try, since I have no data plan to activate the phone again. I'm currently using CyanogenMod-7-11162011-NIGHTLY-glacier.

So this is about wifi,nk then,first try a FIX PERMISSION in ROM Manger.After giving a FIX PERMISSION see that problem still have.Then report.Hey dude,Factory reset ONLY Erase datas on phone memory.It is like you flashed CM in first time.Notging will happen to data on SD or SIM card.
I tried the FIX PERMISSIONS thing, and it still occurs. I'm about to try the factory reset. So if I do a factory reset, what is it all gonna erase? Is it gonna erase my messages, my apps?

Yup(msg).It will erase everything on phone memory.If you wanna keep your sms,download sms backup app and back up all the sms.Then move that app to SD memory and Make a Titanum back up of that app.If you dont nedd sms bacjing up,then do a Factory reset.If you really afraid,unmount sd card and after that do a Factory reset.That is all
Would moving my apps to the SD card save me the time of installing them again? and would I have to install my Themes too?

You have to installs apps again.To avoid that,make titanium backups of every app you want.After factory resetting,just install Titanium backup and retore backed up apps

The message still appears... sadly. :\. Maybe it's one of my apps that keep trying to connect to the internet?

Did you rest your phone?I mean factory reset?After that,you restored all the apps or just messaging app?
Yeah, I did a factory reset, and got most of my apps back. (Which isn't a lot: Lookout mobile security, Easy task killer, Easy battery manager, temple run, angry birds space.) Those were the only apps I had on my phone ever. I was thinking it might be Lookout mobile security... but i'm not sure.
OH! Nevermind, I found out it was the Battery saver I installed. It kept requiring me to allow certain apps access to internet, so i tried uninstalling it and it worked! No more bothering messages! Thanks a lot, crazykas!
Glad to see you solve it!I was about to ask what apps have you installed.By the way,the is a app called LEB Privacy guard.It can block permissions(such as internet accessing,internet blocking) of apps which we installed.Use it to block unwanted apps.
Where can I get this so called LEB Privacy Guard?
i have the sprint version, bought it brand new and did not root or anything at all of that nature but if changing songs or on youtube the phone will reboot for no reason, happens up to six times a day, two being the least. Is there a way i can fix it myself?

Usually random reboots is a kernel issue. But since you have not rooted/flashed anything (I assume) than I would either take the phone back to where you bought it and try to get a re-flash or replacement. If taking it back in is not an option I would do a factory reset on the phone and run it full stock (try not to install any apps/themes) for a day or so and see if the reboots happen. You could also try flashing back stock image via Odin. If none of that works it might be hardware issue.
i have already reset more than 5 times and waited for a while only using apps already on the device, so where would i get the stock image?

if you've done a full wipe and tried either re-flashing your rom or restoring a nandroid and neither was successful, you may need to consider going back to stock via odin and starting over.
i've never seen a phone run on the same rom and kernel settings for months and then just shut down and softbrick without something having been changed recently.

Find your firmware. If yours is G935A model, look for the PG1 fw.
Flash with Odin.
Literally only a few clicks away.
This will wipe everything so I'd suggest trying to see if you can save anything worth saving on your phone to a computer.

You'll need to either flash the stock firmware:

Or the "U-model" firmware:

Best is if you go back to AT&T and let them know about problem. They may replace your phone.

Don't listing to this guy. Your phone is rooted so your warranty is void and they won't do anything. Try a data factory reset in recovery first and wipe cache. It probly won't work but if it does it beats reflashing. Most likely won't work though. Your pretty much going to have to reflash it with Odin
I did this to mine as well deleting Samsung apps.
