***EDIT***
Well it would seem like my random reboots have gone away. Thanks to Tubgirl for the suggestion, but using Hastarin's 7.5R kernel with NO overclocking, AXI etc, it's finally stable once again.
In fact, I used that kernel with Darkstone's latest 3.2 build and the battery is crazy. I am getting approximately 7 hours of battery life for every 10% of the battery. That's with BT, data and all syncing turned on and basic use. That's around 3 days of life for a light user. Didn't even get that with winmo!
So for me - the moral of the story is stick to the clean, non overclocked kernels. As for speed, I cannot tell the difference (I don't play any games to be fair though).
***END***
For some strange reason, my phone randomly reboots at completely bizarre intervals when running Android. I can't put my finger on what it might be. So some questions!
- Does anyone else experience this?
- I'm running VBN RC3 Minimal WM ROM, might it be this?
- I'm running the 2.14 Radio is it this?
- I'm running mostly Mdeejay builds could it be them (happens with all of the one's I've tried)?
- Is it likely to be piece of android software?
- Is there any way I can find a log to see why it's rebooted?
Random Reboots
I have been experiencing this problem for about a month now. I have tried numerous roms and android combinations, as well as changed radios. The problem still returns no matter what combination I try. So I'm kind of
Could be a problem with your battery. Try replacing it.
Sent from my HD2 using XDA App
i had same problem.. what i did was fully drain my battery, than recharged it fully on off mode, with cable plugged in turned it on that charged again till i saw green LED light
since than it worked nicely no random boot
give it a shot id say
cheers
My HD2 has never done it, but my mates has.
He contacted HTC on Thursday and they are repairing it under warranty.
It is a well known issue that affected around 3000 handsets in the UK apparently. They call it the "heat related reboot", and it involves replacing the motherboard and another component.
His has gone back, they sent a courier to collect it..
Mine has been randomly rebooting for about 2 weeks now.
It usually happens once a day when running Winmo or Android. Sometimes when it reboots I get a rectangular box across the bottom of the screen for about a second. I dont know if this is caused by the Radio Rom update or it is just coincidence.
I have swapped the battery but it has made no difference.
It's driving me mad.

I have sent them an e-mail describing my issue, quoting you I will see what they say. Hopefully they will sort it soon because my first year of warranty expires in one month!
Oh also, if I send it back for warranty, I suppose I'll need to revert it back to the 02 defaults and remove all traces of HSPL! Is this possible?
i have this problem too, under android and wm. Still testing to find out hwats causing it but looks more and more a heat issue, eventhough it does not heat that much.
unfortunately dont have warranty so not sure what i can do.
when i have an audio or video stream, or navigator thats when it happens mostly. but i had random reboots as well for no reason.
is there something on WM we can use to find out whats making it reboot?
i get this issue every once in a while when i go to sleep and wake up and its booted up in windows? its happened about 2 or three times but doesn't happen every day.
Me too!
I'm also experiensing this. It started just when the whole android hd2 thing started. I have this problem no matter what radio/rom I'm using (except from stock). Reboots in win. Android gives SOD/reboots. I've tried some reasearching in to this and found out that when I flash back to original rom/radio it's stable. Between every flash i do Task29.
I've tried different memory cards and even swapped the battery with a collegue.
Still the same. Funny thing if it suddenly are many people experiensing this problem..
Could it have something to do with android experiments?
Bad thing is that it would be difficult to send it in for repair since it's working with original rom/radio.
You should all try to flash a stock radio and rom to see if it still reboots.. Mine don't..

I use the same VBN ROM but this build [build]20.09.10||JDMS 1.3|FRF91 Latest Stable Nightly||RC11 WITH AXIS! and Radio 2.12. I dont have any problem (reboot, sleep of dead, no robot voice...)
I switched to the latest hyperdroid v1.6 and have not had this problem yet although It did happen to me a lot when I was running different builds (cant remember which ones sry) Try switching builds and also make sure you turn everything off in WM like bsb tweaks and radio all that stuff. Its weird but it helps considering that everything gets turned off when u hit clrcad.exe anyways but it has helped the stability of my builds.
Alot of us seems to get these reebots in win also...
I wonder if it's got anything to do with the overclocking with setcpu? Hmmmm....
i had this exact same issue , bought phone of eBay so had no proof if purchase . phoned htc they said its 100% covered under warranty , they had it back for repair for 5 working days . they also replaced the external casing as it had a few chips from a drop , they pretty much returned a brand new phone apart from the serial number sticker tomtom no longer recognised the device id so i had to reactivate my maps , so they have at least replaced the mainboard . top customer service ! give them a ring its worth a try they can only say no

nice is there a way to check warranty online? i also bought it from ebay? where you located?
i'm also experiencing this random reboot phenomenon.. happened only after i started experimenting with Android on my HD2.. now the reboot issue happens with WinMo as well.. i've been using the same radio, ROM and same builds..
btw, since jonboyuk mentioned it, i did play around with "setcpu".. could this be the culprit??
Hello..
I've noticed that my HD2 also reboots sometimes in Android. I haven't used WM for a long, so I really don't know if it also reboots in WM. My question is though, is this a hardware issue? Never had this sorts of reboots before starting this Android @ HD2 game. An answer (or just a thought) to this question, will help me, since I have to send my HD2 for a repair tomorrow, cause the microUSB slot is broke. But if the reboot issue is a hardware fault, then I should also report that, to the repair center.
Thanks.
Hello,
I have an LG E900 Optimus 7 brand TIM and I have some problems, that seems to be very common to Optimus 7 (I've got them before and after NoDo update):
The phone begin to have sound problems tipically while playing games (but not only with games). The sound stops playing and the framerate becomes very choppy and instable. Typically the streaming background music get stopped while sound effects continue playing. If you continue playing things become worse and framerate get something like seconds of pause every 2-4 sec (terrible!!!) and sounds stop playing completely. If I exit from games no more sound works, sometimes some seconds of music got played sometimes not, audio becomes very instable.
So I turn off (stanby) the phone but... in one second it wake up itself. So I press again power button, he rewake. No way. If I connect USB or power plug, the same. If I completely turn off the phone and power up, the same. If I power down, take out battery wait 15 minutes (to get colder?) and repower, the same!
In this situation the phone reboot itself at random times, while using it, if you use IE or other software or play it reboot even more frequently
After some time from this problems, the phone keep working ok. But at random times those problems comes togheter or not, it's a nightmare.
I've read in http://answers.microsoft.com/ that many people had those problems with LG Optimus 7 and the problems are resolved only by changing the internal electronic board. I think I'll go to LG service tuesday for this, but tipically it takes about 15 days whitout the phone...
Anyone with the same problems here? If you answer write all the version in Settings - > Informations -> Other informations (translated from Italian, I don't know the right words for international roms). Maybe we can find a common value... I see that my firmware is very old.
Here are my versions:
SO ver: 7.0.7390.0
Firmware ver: 1.0.1.10
Hardware rev: 1.0.0.0
radio sw ver: 1.0.1.10
radio hw ver: 0.3.5.0
bootloader ver: 1.5.0.0
SOC proc ver: 0.30.2.0
I just sent mine in for service for the same problem. I'll let you know what they change and if it fixes it.
Regards
Hi guys. I have the exact same problem.. please let me know if the service part worked.
Thx
andrei
Waiting for mine
Hi, I've also sent my device to service. I'm waiting for it, from LG repair status page I see it will arrive today to service collection point. I will test some days my device and post the result of service.
Hoping and waiting...

any news on this?
Service result
Hi, sorry I was waiting some time to see how is going after some time but I understand you want to know so I'll write about my phone now
The phone is perfectly working now. On service website I've read they done "firmware update and electronic repair" (translated from Italian)
Firware update... well I had NoDo and they flashed the first old WP7 version, I had to update to pre NoDo and then update again to NoDo. However that was not a problem, only some time required to do it with Zune.
The important thing that I can say after some use is that the phone don't have a issue now, I'm very happy.
No wake up from standby, no audio issues and no reboot
BUT... The issue I had didn't started from the first use... They came after some time (about 1 month) of use and they was getting worse and worse, so for saying that there aren't more issues we must wait some time to evaluate the stability in time.
Until now, all right!
Can you please update on your status on this? It's almost a month since your last post, so I wonder how is the situation now. I have this device for 2 days now and I am wondering how things are.
Status
Hi cybernouris, until now all seem right. No issues, I've played a lot with 3d intensive games to check the overheating problem and no single problem was found. In daily use no single problem, in fact I never turn off the device and after nearly one month there is absolutely no problem at all, and that leave me impressed.
I can say that now I'm very pleased with my device. It was a very good choice: cheaper than other devices but same hardware...
The next frustration is the waiting for "Mango" and all the new, sweet api it will contain.... but this is a completely different story...
If you want to know more don't hesitate to ask me.
Thanks for the reply
Your info is valuable. I have reflashed the phone with the europe open rom. everything seems the same as before. It rebooted once after some hour, right when i was in a game and with charger on.
The weird thing is that when this happens, i press n hold turn off button to close the phone, it closes and opens up again stuck at the lg screen.
The moment i unplugged the charger it showed the home screen in 5 seconds, without showing the windows phone boot screen.
Any chance this may be caused from the battery?
PS: I've just missed the telephone support from lg here in greece for 5 mins.. they said a tech guy will call me tomorrow to talk about my prob. Let's hope I will find something.
Graphic intensive games and battery charger what the two things that caused those ugly symtoms to me too. But it seems you have some more problems than me, that stuck lg screen for example. But I had too strange behaviours so it cannot be excluded that it could be the same root problem than mine.
You have no chance, however, you must send it to repair service... and after two weeks of trepidant waiting you'll be happy like me!
Best wishes
I'll see how things go from now on. Will see what they tell me on the phone too. I do not have a problem with sending it for a repair, but the phone is only 2 days old! And i dont want to wait for a long time, i need it for work
Anyway, thanks again for the replies energywave.
Regards.
You're welcome, I perfectly understand how you're feeling, I needet too for work. I was lucky that I've waited to sell my HTC Touch HD so I had a backup while repairing occured.
Good luck!
Energywave I feel the need to thank you as I feel that you brought me luck somehow
I did not wait for LG any more as I contacted them 5 times and I only got responses as "Our technician will call you back in 5 minutes" and I went back to the store I bought it.
I had them play with the phone, they got 3 reboots and they immediately gave me a new optimus 7
I updated it without a hitch and it works like a charm since then, and I've put it under some stress using the 3g connection with internet explorer, maps and marketplace for some hours.
Let me note this for anyone else reading this thread. My faulty device did not reboot at step 9/10 of NoDo Update. That is the last step where it says that the device reboots and when it gets to the home screen the update is finished. It just got stuck at the LG screen and I had to close it (by holding the power button) and wait for it to boot after some 5-6 tries...
My new device went through the updates flawlessly (I hope I spelled that right) and the battery lasted at least double time and with only being charged from critical low to around 75%, this charge being the very first one for the device!!!
It also charged alot faster and while I was using it too, installing apps from marketplace on WiFi.
That's my experience, I hope more people with problems find a solution because this device is worth of more appraise
Lastly, energywave, thanks for the kind attitude mate, it surely brought me luck
So I recently picked up an LG Optimus 7 here in Canada, its a Telus phone but it is unlocked and I am using it on Bell. Was working great for a couple of days, now tonight its started losing sound and rebooting like crazy...
After a quick google search I see this appears to be pretty common issue with this phone.. sigh. I bought it used so am I screwed? Will LG honor the warranty?
Hey cybernouris, sorry I've completely lost your message that I'm reading now (much late... ) I'm happy that you've resolved your issue, I know the "peace of mind" feeling you had when using your good working Optimus 7 Nothing to thank me about
Have a nice evening!
I've noticed that the sound always stops, when I have WiFi turned on.
Hi. did read alot about speaker issues on the i-8700. this is my case. my phone has sound when it rings. bt i can't play any music or ringtones, not even the sound from keys when activated are dead. so, i can't hear anything in the speaker. and i guess the others can't hear me either. but, if i restart the phone, it works for å few seconds (like go to "phone" dial a number, and the 3-4 first numbers make a sound from the keypad/touch, but then it dies) i can call using speaker or bluetooth. so i did try alot of updates and stuff. but nothing helped med so far. but, if i format the phone (holding camerabutton aand volume down when i turn on the phone) it once lasted for almost 3 days before the speaker died. and now the last time it did last about 3 minutes. like i said i did read alot about hos earlier. but has anyone figured out what to do with this issue? to me it seems like a service that starts up, since it dies all of a sudden. it can't be anything wrong with the speaker? since it works sometimes, and even works if i run the test in the diagnose system?! so if anyone could answer this it would be really sweet
i did try to write a mail to Samsung. they told me this was not a know issue to them. i find that strange but anyway any help at all would be christmas
Give us your versions (system, radio, firmware, etc - everything!) from Settings -> About.
info
Sorry for the late answer. been in he hospital for days now. but my phone did work fine. but yesterday i went out of power. now the speaker is dead again. and when i reset/format or watever. it just last for seconds. anyways, the info :

Hi
My S4 (UK sim free) is about 4 months old now and has been running pretty reliably until last week, when I received a message on the screen to tell me that there was a software update to be applied ( 4.3 ). I followed the instructions as I have done in the past with my previous S2 and the OTA update began. The process seemed to involved several reboots and eventually it got stuck in a cycle of reboots - which commenced as soon as the illuminated menu and return off screen buttons lit, flickered briefly and then rebooted., until I connected the phone to the samsung power supply at which point the boot proceeded normally and the upgrade appeared to have completed.
Firstly, let me say that the battery was fully charged before I began the update - I have done a number of them in the past with playing with different roms on my S2 so I was aware how important it is to start with a charged battery.
I thought nothing more of it until later that evening, the phone rebooted when i finished a call and took the headset away from my head. Again, I was unable to get the phone to boot correctly until I connected the charger. It has happened several times since - once when i was using the Maps app with GPS switched on. The reboots appear to be completely random. The phone was completely fine before the upgrade so to me it HAS to be the latest version that has caused the problem. I have searched high and low for a solution online, but the only one appears to be to factory reset the phone which I have done, but to no avail.
I can't see an official way to "downgrade" back to my previous version of android until kitkat comes out for the S4.
Can anyone offer any other solutions, as the phone is virtually unusable as it stands ?

BTW I also wiped and reformatted the cache partition. Also noticed that my WiFi has started acting up - it keeps telling me that its disabled because the signal is poor - of course it isn't - it worked fine before the update and all my other wi-fi devices are fine too.

Has your battery a serial number starting by DD or DB? If has, buy a new one or change your battery in a service center; if hasn't, no, you can't downgrade your firmware from 4.3. You should reflash same firmware by odin from your pc and surely your issue will disappear (sometimes ota updates fail). But before to do this, check your battery, it is a usual problem with that batteries serial numbers...

Thanks for the quick reply. My battery serial is BD1D609JS/2-B, So it seems that isn't the problem, besides everything was fine before the update. It seems that there are quite a number of people out there with similar problems over the last couple of days, so it does point to a flaky release...

Sorry, i mistaked, i meant BD instead DB. You have the defective Samsung recognized battery. Maybe updating has walked up your battery issue (consider that the bug is not in the electrical part of the battery, but in the electrical part). Before trying more fixes, change your battery (also consider it can damage your device).

one thing:

No my friend, I've tried everything and dozen of compass apps that "calibrate" this way and even some apps that are just for calibration.
I've seen however in engineering mode when going to msensor (magnetometer) it says with data is wrong so it might be broken sensor, but it is kinda unimaginable. I've seen many people report these two (gyro, compass) not to work correctly. Also, my friend got S3 and he has the same problem.

Accuracy 0.0 looks odd. Mine is 0.2 but also mentiones 'NOT GOOD'. It works though.
When I leave compass on table it keeps drifting, sometimes it can make few circles even though phone is still.
What ROM do you have?
And what are your experience with gyro? Can you try google camera and see if photo sphere works?
Cheers!

Very strange indeed. I fired up my engineering mode to see what I got, and it started the same, 0.0, NOT GOOD. but after about 90seconds, the green bar spiked and I got good data. See the attachment.

Is this values normal compare to yours?
Mine heats up also when playing online 3d games with heavy graphics, no overheating wile browsing (i'm talking about 3g and wi-fi though - don't use 4g).Have you tried to lower the CPU frequency to 1,5 for example. Some guys here thing it heats up because of the turbo function 2 cores are getting boosted to about 2.0 mhz. When needed. Don't know how to switch that off... If someone has solution is welcome to share.
Is there a way to know jiayu s3 manufacturing date in software?, maybe via engineering mode or some special code? (like, for example, "Phone INFO ★Samsung★" on Google Play Store does for Samsung)? Knowing date might perhaps help correlate hardware issues.
Good news - got the replacement lower USB/mic board today - swapped out easy enough, and now finally have a working lower microphone. Very pleased, fix cost about £5 from Vifocal (http://vifocal.com/usb-connector-with-mic-deputy-board-repalcement-for-jiayu-s3-smartphone.html), took 24 days to get here from China.
Now I can finally use the S3 as a phone, not just a tablet.
It's good to see that spare parts are available for the S3 (particularly with the future of Jiayu in question) and self repairs are achievable. I would choose a self fix if the parts are cheap enough rather than waiting weeks for warranty service anyway.
I have two devices and the LCD calibrations are noticeably different. On one the whites have a very slight pinkish hue(like red needs to be turned down a touch). It also has a very small amount of backlight bleed in the bottom corner which is more noticeable due to the backlight being white and the screen being slightly pink. Simple RGB calibration tools could correct this (like the franco kernel on the nexus devices) but so far I cannot find a tool to do this at kernel level so filter overlay apps are the only option and miravision doesn't help.
Has anyone else noticed backlight bleed or slightly pink screen? Admittedly it would be difficult to detect if you don't have a second device to compare it to.

Issues:
Well, at first, i was pretty excited when i received. I had to cut my old sim cards to micro sim.
And when i tried to connect them, the phone was not recognize them. My though: "Maybe it's because they are old sim cards, i asked to my operator a new ones".
While i was waiting, i've tried a micro sim from a friend, and it didn't recognize as well.
My surprise, when searching on the net, for this kind of problem, i dialed *#06# to see the IMEI, and both are "Invalid"..
Since then, i've tried many ways to restore the IMEI.
"#4634# - After put the IMEI, shows a message that IMEI was successful changed, but when i check, they are the INVALIDS again.
I've tried the IMEI_FIXING MTK. (with sn_gen.exe ) replacing the old file for the new one that is created. And nothing happens too. :crying:
My last thought, is to update my phone to that S3S Lollipop v5.1 – Release Candidate, and see if it fix the problem.
But, for now, it seems that ROM it has a some bugs..
Can anyone help me with this?
Many Thanks

When I received mine it didn't recognize the sim cards at all but a factory reset sorted it, have you tried that?
