Problems with 2,5 year old Samsung Galaxy S - Galaxy S I9000 General

Hello guys, I have the following problems with my galaxy s. For 2 days now I am having the problem that the phone while working fine, suddenly reboots and my baseband is gone. I am getting baseband unknown in status.
With no baseband working it constantly reboots every 2/3 minutes. Sometimes it fixes itself and I am having the baseband again. Sometimes not and I try to flash the software (CM9 or CM10), or just the modem. Also tried to copy the efs folder. Nothing seems to work though. I just have to be lucky that it fixes itself after a reboot.
Does anybody experience the same problems?
*** update
the problem seems to get fixed once you plug into the power line to charge it. do you think it is the battery?

Have you tried flashing everything from beginning again? So GB via Odin, CM9 twice, afterwards CM10 (or keep 9)?
Maybe it's due to the battery, don't know.My phone is now 2 years old and I already replaced the battery 6 months ago, lol

i would also recommend you flashing stock GB version via ODIN and start form there. i could always solve every problem by going back to GB.
if it's the battery you should try out another one if you can.

I have this problem too, the only way to get back to normal is to flash back samsung ROM, problem occurs with all cm10 versions !!
Did you solve it?

I will ask here,because I don`t want to open new thread for this.I have one SGS on repair but I can`t use usb because my pc can`t recognize the phone(unknown device).I have right drivers installed.There`s no recovery on the phone too,only download mode.If I wanna charge it,battery animation only starts and then restart.If I wanna turn it on,Samsung logo and then Devil kernel animation is shown and then phone restarts.Any idea? Thanks

Different solutions for USB connection problems and bootloops. look in My Android Solutions
But First powerdown, pull out Battery, SIM CARD, and EXT.SD card, press power button for a minute, than powerup without SIM and Ext.SD Card

If you are trying to copy your EFS folder and it does not work - are you using a micro-SD card in your phone. If you are then doing a simple backup will save your EFS as part of the backup and you can have it saved on your microSD card also known as your external sd

That happened to me early on when i started to install custom roms - I did a search on the web for Samsung drivers and installed that and have never had a problem since.

Do you know anyone with the same phone whose battery you could borrow just for testing (SGS or SGS Plus)? I had a battery related problem with constant reboots, BUT in my case the battery level dropped from 80 to under 5 and that caused the reboots. My battery had also swollen a bit.

Experienced same issues until I replaced the battery

[Q] GT-I9500 Soft/Battery issue

Hey guys,
I don't usually ask questions rather than searching for threads/similar problems and try to fix mine.
But, this one's serious
I've had my Galaxy SIV GT-I9500 for 2 months now. I usually try CyanogenMod and other roms(Omega and Crash)
As I used to do so on my previous android (non Samsung) phones.
Lately I've been having a strange issue that I can't even tell if it's a battery problem or it's a software glitch or a mistake I made before.
The problem is the phone usually stops when using it ... Freezes and then restarts (that's normal but.)
The WEIRD thing is that the phone boots again automatically ... Then a dialog shows that "Your Battery is critically low"
And I'm sure There was more than 90% battery.
Well I tried to figure out why and how to fix it... I found a similar problem but no one found what's the matter.
Things I've tried:
1- Flash Stock System, Kernel and everything else (100% Stock)
2- Flash A custom rom ...
3- Flash another custom rom.
4- wipe data/factory reset
5- Remove SD Card
6- Remove Sim Card
7- Tried Most custom kernels
9- Flash a Modem the right one for my country (Iraq)
Well, None of these helped
The problem usually appears at anytime . Most of it when using the phone not when Idol
Do any of you guys have any Suggestions for me ? or even a fix ?
Thank you ... If I find a solution I'll let you know so that people will benefit.
Thank you XDA

[Q] Buttons and bottom half of screen unresponsive.

After the update to 4.4.2 my Galaxy Note 3(unrooted), the buttons(home, power and volume not soft keys) and the bottom half of the screen are sometimes unresponsive. It starts functioning again either after a quick lock and unlock or automatically after a few seconds. Is this a bug in the new update or a problem with the digitizer? I have tried resetting the phone a couple of times. Can someone help me?

factory reset won't remove bugs.
cause u didn't have this problem in previous firmware it s not because of hardware.
so try flash compatible stock rom from another region.
if problem remains take it to official service.

rooting is not necessary for flashing stock rom.
I'm having the same problems. Screen locks up often when I'm browsing in Chrome. For Gods sake this has 3gb of RAM!!!!!

While phone works just pull out the battery and also don't use cover. I think its just about samsungs politics. ..

I also have the exact same problem... I already did the factory reset but no luck. I increased the sensitivity but still happens...Can anyone help us? or it is caused by the recent upgrade of OS to kitkat version... Thanks.
GOOD NEWS!
I have been having this issue as well. Lots of research on the net has provided me with no real solutions. I think there is something missing in this update. I do not know what it is im not that smart but something is wrong across the board.
I have done a master reset back to factory and within minutes of the set up it started lagging/ not responding again. Figured i would give it a few days and well nothing changed so I contacted T-mobile and spoke with Tech Support located in Texas and he concluded that it is an SD card. He says that the SD card was on the phone prior to the update and is causing the issue since its old. WTF! I told him that the processor, ram, HDD, CPU are all considered old now. Personally I think its a stupid response.
I am going to give this a shot anyways. NO SD card no pictures no music.... Already within 15 minutes of no SD card issues are still there. I am really starting to hate this phone because of this update. Hoping to get a replacement (new) with 4.3 still on it. NO UPDATE for me till i know this and several issues are fixed.
I know i could root but i dont feel i should have to to fix any issues.
Has anyone else found a solution or heard of one yet?
Just try this , go to setting / general / power save , swith it on.
Then wait a moment before you try your phone again.
my wife phone got this issue because of over heating.
after switching the power save , the issue is gone.
update... contacted Tmobile within the last hour and apparently this rep said this is a known issue. She contacted Samsung and Google (could be blowing smoke up you know what) but she came back and said they are very aware of the issues and are vigorously working on a fix and your informations will be one of the first ones to get it. She was saying 4.4 (kitkat) screwed up a lot of Samsung devices. BTW she was also having the same problems. All replacement phones will come with 4.4 so exchanging is out of the question.
Regarding the power saving thing ill give it a shot. It was on before the master reset. Noticed it was off when i went in. On now so ill try then.

Try anker batteries
This sounds like the fault that numerous people are having, phone gets to a certain age and then just starts breaking. Seems only a new motherboard actually fixes it.
if you have warranty it will change your motherboard

My device randomly started shutting itself off.
It switches off when I make volume on full level. And then plays a song or the mob rings it switches off instantly.

Tried changing rom but nothing is happening.
I am currently on stock nougat.
I think this issue came when I was on MM and flashed first soak test.
Help please to fix this issue.
Also happened for me since the latest naugat update. It was fine in previous updates.
Now I am on Invicta 3.5, everything is fine now.

Is your device rooted? Than just format your phone from twrp n flash stock rom or custom rom ... U can find your device stock rom from https://www.stockrom.net/ .. there are alternative sites
if it gets randomly shut down without shutdown dialogue box..so it have the problem with the battery...u need to replace battery with the original battery... don't use genric battery otherwise you will get less battery backup.

No it says nothing. it shutdown randomly.
it is a hardware problem....you need to replace the battery.... temporarily you can silent the phone and turn off its vibration to get rid of it....but this problem can occur again but by doing this it will surely decrease...

yeah....Moto Care may ask you to examine your phone... don't let them examine that..because they will only flash stock images and charge you money...they may also tell you that this is the problem of the motherboard....but that is not true....well one thing I wanna ask that..how much time it is taking in recharging with turbo charger and how much backup it is giving....
