My Phone reboots by itself after a day since last boot, when I slide the unlock bar the screen freeze up an then reboots, after that, works fine for a day or two. Any idea what might be wrong? I got zapX rom with black glass theme.

Same thing happens to me.
Mine did the same. After a factory reset, no more problems. I hesitated a while knowing I would have to reinstall apps, but it was well worth it.

my phone does the same, its done it on OTA 2.2, flyX, apeX and Fission 2. motorola describes it as the phone going into a 'state of panic'. only solution i've found so far is to use 'no lock' so that i have no sliders, however now the screen comes on whenever i hit a button

I unfortunately can't recreate this. :S
But I wonder, if No Lock appears to alleviate the issue..
For those that want the lock screen, would something like WidgetLocker to turn off stock lock screen, and use WL's lock screen instead still resolve this?
Actually tried widget locker today in combo with no lock and that is working because its still not using the default lock screen. Been a good 12 hours now and reboot proof. Annoying but is a working work around.

Doesn't widgetlocker have an option to disable the stock lockscreen? Figured you could use it instead of no lock.. (??).
Maybe I'm wrong.
Any Solutions to this? How do you go about doing a Full Wipe, When I do the Factory wipe in recovery the problem still occurs.
Do you have to do something more where you un-root first?
Flashed euro rom 2 days ago. Everyhing worked fine til this morning. It's stuck in portrait mode. Can't find settings to change it. Tried rebooting and it didn't work. Googled and found no answers. Anyone have a suggestion?
Have you checked the orientation lock? If you look at the pull down notification bar, it should be one of the buttons (its the one on the far right on my tab, it should be the same for you).

Don't worry. Happened to me too a while ago. Spent a few days uninstalling and reinstalling stuff that I thought might be causing it...turns out it was the lock.
im stuck in portrait mode
orientation lock works but im stuck in portrait mode regardless of how its set
movies still play in landscape mode but nothing else is landscape
ive only had the device for a couple of days so it cant be a hardware issue and ive never touched any system files,
can this be fixed or has anyone else experienced this?
edit:
fixed with a hard reset
(i think it was launcher pro that caused it but not totally sure)
Dolphin browser for tablet is in beta now. Excited to try this today

Good find bro. This is exactly what we needed to cure the typing lag in browser. Thanks.
Thanks for pointing it out.
Bowser HD for pad is very good, i really love it...i tried it a little...and it is very good as if it wasn't a beta version. I decided to keep it instead of dolphin hd.
Yeah, definitely like this browser. Only problem I've seen with it is that it uses the mobile google for default when you search in the address bar, can't seem to find a way to change that.
alot snappier than the stock browser...hopefully they roll out w/ updates to make it more efficient.
Seems pretty good so far. Much less lag than on stock browser but its still there.
I like it alot, just having an issue with bookmarks, and the dolphin add on bookmarks to sd doesnt seem to be working with it, anyone else having that issue.?
Either way, using it as my main browser, having much Less lag than stock

After opening the dolphin browser app press the menu button in the bar below and press More. Select Settings > Dolphin Settings > User Agent and select Desktop. That should work.

This works for most sites, but some still load the mobile version. Google search is one of them; another is boston.com. this is one of the only problems I have with the beta.

I suppose I should clarify, even after you change the UA it appears that the search from adddress bar function is hardcoded to use the mobile google search. If you go straight to google.com, sure you get the desktop search, but sometimes it's just more convenient to use the address bar instead.
I can't seem to activate gestures, for some reason.

Click on the Play button in the top right corner.
You can now use your gestures.
To make changes, a menu screen will appear at the top.
Click on the mechanical wheel on the left side of the page.
Then go to Gestures.

Am I the only one who has this bug after upgrading?
When other apps try to launch a default app, the screen just dims and the other app doesn't start.
For instance, i click on a link in an app which would normally launch the browser - the screen just dims but the browser doesn't start.
Or in the file browser, if i click in an mp4 the screen just dims and the video player doesn't start?
Very bad.
Rotate screen. Rotate back.

This has been discussed at length in several threads.
The issue is if you have multiple apps that can provide the service (ex. show an image or play a movie) available the dialog asking which one to use does not show. There is some sort of issue with the geometry preventing this dialog from appearing. There are 2 ways I know of to fix this. One is to rotate the screen from landscape to portrait, or portrait to landscape. This will work until your reboot the device. The second method is do the rotation and select a set app as default on the dialog asking you which app to use. The next time an app is needed to display an image or play a movie it will select this one.
That's some weird bug, which I would haven't found since i lock rotation.
Also, I had just turned the device on when it happened, so rebooting might not help?
But thanks it worked.
But was it new with 3.2?

I've been experiencing this quite a lot
Surfing the net pressing home button and find the home screen reloads. So bit of a lag which is very annoying, until samsung sort this out with a software update there is a work around. Simply disable s-voice from.settings that's it. I haven't actually experienced screen reload since.
Let me know if this works for you or not.
Try this
Untick under s-voice settings the following:
Launch S Voice
Wake up command
Under application manager go to running select s-voice and stop all services.
Go to all and disable s-voice. This will remove the app from app draw list too, you can also disable chat on app too.
This should stop the app running in the background.
My mate has got this phone has has also experienced this problem a bit as well.
I was just wondering when you say 'disable s voice' do you just mean just disable s voice opening when double pressing the home button? Or is there a setting to actually turn it off?
Yer had same issue, disabled see voice, all good

I would also like to know this. I stopped s voice opening when I double tap home button. That fixed the home button lag, however, I'm still experiencing the ocassional reload of the home screens.

Another nice side effect is it makes the phone feel alot snappier because it removes the home button lag.
EDIT: should have refreshed the thread :/ mattyt_491 was faster.. I don't think there is a way to disable it completely (without rooting) I didn't have any reloads since I disabled the double click. Then again I restarted the phone and it usually takes half a day or so to start happening..

What is the point of using quad core phone if you only can use black wallpaper.

Guys don't get frustrated. As per thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1694508&page=3, just set the size of dalvik cache to 128MB and everything will be fine. My personal experience, just perform these two extra steps:
1. Use Nova Launcher or Apex, takes less memory
2. Use 2D rendering from developer options, It does not make it slow at all.
3. From developer option, limit background processes to 4. Trust me you will not notice it.
4. And yes, disable S voice after you are done with initial experiment. Its not useful for anything.
And my phone is working snappier as it was when I opened the box. I will update it after few day's use. Running smoothly for 2 days. Today is third.

Why don't I have this problem? I think it's be ause I usually check what's open and close things. You should go into deb settings and have 4 processes max to test if it really is your memory or you just need to reflash.

I'm having the same problem.
Is rooting the phone and making these adjustments the only solution to this issue?
Switching off S-voice did work temporarily, but the problem has returned.
I'm new to andorid having just switched over from the dark side of iOS. Is Samsung likely to fix this in a coming update?
I find it hard to believe they didn't spot this in pre-testing the phone.
Thanks
I don't have this problem too. Strange.
