My phone has randomly started restarting lately when listenin to music via headphones, when locks up it the screen will not come on, the phone will not unlock and the song will finish then it restarts and gets stuck on the galaxy logo, it will only come on again if I take out the battery for at least a few mins, a quick pullout and put back in doesnt work.
Anyone know how to fix this?
Using Latest 2.3.3 JVO stock rom, not modified in any way and using PlayerPro for music, never had this problem before.
I was in the same case that you. To manage it, I downgrade to Froyo, and finally I use CM7 which looks like a lot more stable than the last version of the official ROM!

I updated my phone manually through Mini Kies.
Before the update with or without OCLF applied, the phone would never freeze. Since I've applied the update the day before yesterday, the phone has locked up three times. Basically what happens is, the screen will, well, freeze, and my button presses do absolutely nothing, I hit the back button- phone vibrates, does nothing, same with home button. To power it off I either hold the power button for 5-10 seconds, I have not yet had to pull the battery. HOWEVER. This last time it froze, I powered down the device but the phone would not turn back on. I pulled the battery from the phone and inserted it back in and after doing so my phone powered back on with no problem. It's a bit concerning though. Probably the worst thing about all of this is the fact that my phone runs great! Fast and responsive, GPS seems to be spot on. Except about once a day since the update, it freezes.
Any ideas? I have no experience with modding/flashing anything so I get really nervous with things like installing custom roms. I was thinking I could roll back the update and then re-do the update. I doubt I'd get the update OTA though, I updated my girls device OTA and she has had no problems so far.
I was even considering flashing Bionix, but again, very nervous to do so. I even had trouble just creating a nandroid backup! I couldn't get into clockwork recovery to do so.
Can anyone just baby me with this? Tell me where to start?
Thanks :/
I would suggest you flash back to stock firmware using Odin.
Go into the Development section and look at the directory sticky. There is a link in there for a thread on how to go back to stock firmware.
Once you flashed back to stock, i suggest using it on stock for a day or two to make sure the phone work correctly. Once you verified the phone working then try to update to JI6 again via Kies mini.
Other than that you can start to mess around with flashing different custom firmware and mods. It hard to brick the phone since you can always go into download mode and odin back to stock.
Be adventurous! Good luck!
would you suggest that I go back to stock before trying to flash bionix?

You should go to JFD then to JI6. Freezing isn't normal, I don't have any freezing. If it was randomly freezing there would have been a 10 page thread on it already.
I've also had it freeze twice on me. Went from rooted Stock to JI6 using Odin. /shrug
Same issue after applying JI6 OTA. I unrooted before applying the OTA, but have now reapplied OCLF with stock.
Same issue. Frozen hard twice. Browser exits randomly. Battery drains about twice as fast as before JI6.
I went from fresh Stock to JI6 via Odin. I don't know if I can wait for Froyo. I may just go back to stock again, even with the broken GPS.
I bet the OP has a bunch of apps installed.
A lot of people are blaming the update, but I'm almost sure there are many rogue apps in the marketplace, because last night I was getting freezes and after I uninstalled all the apps I don't actually need (or use very frequently) all of the freezing just stopped. The phone runs smoothly now. And removing those apps + removing the Task Manager widget from one of my screens increased my battery life by ~200%.
I installed BioNix 1.9.1 (with JI6) and I'm still getting occasional freezes, but I'm wondering if they are due to Angry Birds which I installed at the same time as my original JI6 OTA update. I'm seeing some reports (forum.androidcentral.com/motorola-droid/38906-freezes-weird-stuff-angry-birds.html) , but I have no idea if this is a valid idea.
Anyone else seeing freezes with JI6, but not angry birds?
I've also been having freezing problems, and I think they're GPS related.
The last time was last Friday. I was driving down to Washington DC using my phone for turn-by-turn navigation, and it froze about 1/3 of the way there. I had to pull the battery out to restart. When I got to my destination, I was using Maps and then the browser, and while the GPS icon was on the notification bar, telling me it was trying to find my position, my phone froze again. Again, I had to pull the battery out. Both happened within around a 1.5-2 hour period. I realized it may be due to the GPS, so I turned off GPS right away. It's now Monday afternoon and my phone hasn't frozen since.
Hi guys,
I really need your help. I have a I9000T on stock gingerbread 2.3.3 :
PDA:I9000TUBJV6
PHONE: I9000TUBJV6
CSC:I9000TUUBJV6
Buld info:May 7 2011
For the last 2 days my phone has been acting weird. I leave it, for some hours without using it, and when I hit the power button, for a split second I see the home screen, but the lock pattern screen is not there then all of sudden the phone just restarts. It did that 3 times in 2 days. When I look at the battery monitoring appl, it says it is missing data. So I am guessing during this time something happens with the phone. Something crashed with the operating system or maybe an app is causing the phone to crash.
Could it be a hardware problem? I don't really want to return the phone and I figure if it is a software problem, then I can deal with it, but it is a hardware problem then I have to return it. I bought the phone on amazon and I have 3 days left for a return, full refund.
If somebody has an idea on what the problem is, or how to reproduce the problem so that I can figure is out, please please help!
reflash the phone with full stock ROM with stock kernal and see if it happens, you can even try a 2.2.1 ROm and see.
I have already a stock ROM and kernel. All my updates have been trhough Kies so far. I was planning on rooting when I started having the problem.
By the way I just did a factory reset, but somehow pictures and songs were still there. How can this happen?
The Stock Mytouch 4g started behaving oddly a couple of days ago with random reboots. Then yesterday it would just turn off completely and the only way to restart it was to pull the battery. At first I believed it to be the battery, so I switched it out with a friend who also has a Mytouch 4g and the same problem exited. The behavior would go away when I plugged the device into an outlet. I decided that I would Perm root and run a custom rom with another Kernel to see if that would help things. However in order to do so, I needed to downgrade to 2.2.1. After downgrading to 2.2.1, a different problem appeared. Instead of randomly shutting down, it would randomly freeze on the screen and then reboot. This time the problem subsided only when it was plugged into an outlet and I took off Sleep mode and screen time out. After perm rooting, I installed Clockwork via rom manager. From there, I installed Bindroid's rom using Unity kernel. At first, there were no problems at all - I played around with it for an hour without any freezing or rebooting. I thought I had solved it, so I put in on charge and went to bed. I woke up, it was still fine. I decided I would do a battery calibration. I wiped the stats from recovery and then installed battery calibrator from the market. I don't know if that retriggered the issue or if the issue was just hiding in the back - waiting to attack... The phone is constantly freezing when off of charge - its even happened a few times while I was in recovery mode.
Stats:
GLACIER PVT ENG S-OFF
HBOOT - 0.85.2007 (PD1510000)
MICROP - 0429

Any help would be much appreciated.
I hope you are still under warranty. Sounds like hardware to me

Unfortunately, I think so as well. As for an update on the phone, I switched radio firmwares, put in different roms, and mixed and matched kernels - all having the same result. I also cleaned the battery contacts both on the batter and on the phone.
I ended up just listing it on eBay.
Try slipping a piece of paper under the battery cover. Maybe its loose and is allowing the battery to lose contact?

I thought it was the battery as well, but unfortunately it was not. Interesting, I found that if I am on a phone call or downloading a large file it doesn't freeze or reboot. So I guess if the radio or wifi is actively engaged it won't freeze. Also, if I play some games it won't freeze as well. However, as soon as I stop doing something that really engages in the phone it will freeze. For example, if I quit out a game and just scroll around - or if I start typing something in the browser or on gtalk it can just freeze. Most of the time it won't be booted up for more than 5 minutes, unless any of the above is performed. I don't know man - just an odd problem. I am thinking about flashing the Windows Phone 7 rom and see how it works out.
Try a fastboot wipe to really wipe the slate clean.
If that doesn't work, I say flash a PD15IMG.ZIP of froyo and see what happens. Just make sure you have a visionary apk to get root.

I think I might have bought your phone on ebay (papichulo?). Anyway I have the same exact problem. Freezes 5 minutes after booting no matter the combination of ROM/Kernal/Hboot/Recovery.
NEVER freezes in recovery/Bootloader though.
Let me check out your wifi/games/charger theory and see what happens..

Oddest thing. It wont freeze as long as its busy. Even simply playing music in the background does the trick. This is the oddest problem I've ever encountered..
I know I have seen a thread about this before but I can't recall if it was on XDA or perhaps Droid Life; XDA seems to be the generally more knowledgeable group of people so I thought I would ask here.
I experience frequent lockups and or reboots (I know one causes the other, so...) when doing most anything media related. They are related but come in two different varieties:
1. Music Playing. I typically only play music while on an airplane and most of my flights are at night, so I will try and load a playlist then lock the screen. Almost always I will get through about half a song and the phone will reboot. Testing has revealed the reliable way to cause this is simple: Start a song, lock the screen, turn the phone. It wont wake back up and if it does it will freeze until it reboots or you pull the battery.
2. Movie Playing. Since I obviously don't turn off the screen while the movie is playing, the above is not an issue. Sometimes - but not all the time - while using the built-in movie player the phone will be completely unresponsive. I cannot pause, stop, or change volume. The movie will continue to play just fine though. I haven't tested what happens when the file ends as I usually notice it near the beginning of a file and must have the ability to pause it. There's no reliable way to get this to happen, although it almost always happens while in-flight (again, the only time I really use it, so that doesn't mean anything).
I know other people have experienced these issues before, but are there any reliable SOLUTIONS? I have rooted before, before the 2.3 update. The 2.3 update bricked the phone and I SBF'd my way back - root was gone. I re-rooted some time later, then undid the root in order to use Flixter. Just yesterday I did the .621 update and again bricked the phone, SBF'd back to life again. I'm not ruling out the history of rooting to have causes these issues, but I'd like to fix it if I can.
Thanks to all!
After update to 4.4.2 everything worked like a charm for like 2 weeks and then problems started. First battery went to hell then i bought another one and after that my screen started to act strange. I can hear the sound in background and phone works when i try to call myself over the other phone but i can't se a S**t. I tried to downgrade back to 4.2.2 because how i saw the other people have same problem but they resolved it with Removing widget and put clock etc. I even try to put Cyanogenmod because i thought it's software faulth but same problems over and over. So i can't restart the only way to reset is to remove battery and somethimes even that samsung animation doesn't show but sound works. Anyone knows anything about it. And yea i don't have any app installed.
