I was looking at an e-mail on my phone, and suddenly it rebooted itself (red Verizon evil-eye logo, etc.)
I looked at the uptime counter, and it didn't reset to the time of this reboot.
How does this sneaky phone reboot itself without resetting the uptime counter?

don't have a good answer, just it must not have been a full reboot
there are different types of reboot, can't remember them, but something like cold, hot and full...

Hi guys just got my s3 couple of hours ago white 16gb for sprint. I tried searching for the issue I am having and no results, so I am posting here. I did the initial android setup and everything was running fine for first 15 min and then phone keeps freezing and restarts, I did many battery pulls and same thing. It would work for min or 2 and freezes and reboots. Then I put the phone on charge and used it for several minutes and no crash.
So I unplugged the phone when the battery was at 52% after charging for more then 45 min, and same reboot issue is back. So I was wondering if anyone else having this issue.
Thanks for all your help in advance.
if you didnt flash things, which i dont even know what you would flash and how at this point, i would say its broken, and you should go get an exchange. Hopefully youre the only one with the issue, ever.
i guess you could try a factory reset, which i would assume you can do from recovery, to which you would maybe get to by powering off, and holing volume up and power(once again, just an assumption).
p.s. i am impatiently waiting untill best buy gets 32gb version in stock so i can trade in this lte evo pos.
i did many factory resets and battery pulls and same issue. so i got tired and called in for exchange, they are sold out right now but will send one out as soon it comes back in stock.
Did you do a hard reset from recovery?

any particular app installed that might be causing this? :crying:
Yes I Reset it from recovery and did factory reset 4 to 6 times, No apps installed. As soon as i start navigating through menus it freezes and then reboots. Sometimes it also freezes at sprint logo while restarting, i have owned 200+ phones never had a single android phone with this kind of Issue.

Do you have a sd card installed? If its from a older phone or s2 it might be the problem too. Back up everything in format the card then see what happens....
Thanks for all your help guys !
I fixed the issue by wiping cache partition and factory reset. Before all I did was factory reset but didn't do wipe.
No crash so far

I think I have a problem that has not been covered yet. I have an Acer A500 that works just fine but will randomly restart. When it restarts it always hangs at the Acer logo. I can then hold the power button to turn the tablet off and then turn it back on again and it will start up fine without issue but will then restart again a short while later. I notice it happen maybe 10 times a day, possibly more. The other day it went a couples hours without a restart but eventually did. My students can play games, get on the internet, etc just fine until it resets again. I believe it has only reset when in standby but I cant say for sure.
The OS is up to date. I tried a hard reset and reset with the OS to factory settings several times without luck. It can have 100 apps on it and reset or no apps on it, it doesnt matter. I notice no difference in turning off the wifi. It doesnt seem to reset on a schedule.
Any ideas? It sure would be nice if my students could actually use the tablet rather than have it sitting around doing nothing.

If it's running stock ics, it's a common issue. Blame Acer and their buggy rom.
You could perform a data reset but that wipes all user data.
You may want to install custom rom, but you will need the tabs cpuid and skrilax_cz unlocked boot loader plus a good couple ours for prep and installation. See the root guide in my Sig for info

The newest update that was installed on my phone caused a glitch where it won't allow my screen to lock, I placed a timer, to see how long it would take for my phone to turn off,
My phone died after 5 hours, without the screen turning off...
Where is the fix? How do I get it to stop, seriously. This is unacceptable.
Well, the good part is you get at least 5 hours SOT.
I have had this happen periodically, usually a cache wipe fixes it. Still don't know why it happens, and it's quite rare and random, though. Try booting to recovery and wiping cache and see if that fixes it. If not a factory reset may be in order.

The oddest thing happened.
Went to bed around 12 last night and left the tablet on charge for 14 hours and when I went to use the tablet at 2pm everything was gone! Pictures Apps everything.
It's like it factory reseted itself...
I rebooted the tablet and everything was back to normal
Get this,
uptime before reboot was 42hr 40min
Tablet is the 817 sticker is on top
My 817 Verizon restarts and shuts down whenever it feels like it. Safe mode makes no difference. Longest it lasted in safe mode was 2 hours. It will do a restart and not show it in uptime stats sometimes. Sometimes it will go to the red Verizon start screen and just turn back on, not really a restart. Done numerous factory resets, removed sd card, and even used Verizons repair tool to reinstall stock system. Hate sending it back. Even though I reported the problem within days of getting it, Verizon had me doing things with it trying to fix it which took days and getting sent higher up the technical help team till they said I needed to return it but i'd only get a refurbished on because I had it too long.
You accidentally put your tablet in guest mode. Look at the top right icon in your notifications pull down.

Oop- thanks that helped lol
Over the past couple week my phone has been running very slow. Ill hit the home button and it takes forever to get to my lock screen, or when im opening up an app the phone temporarily freezes. Restarting it helps but only for about a day. I haven't installed and sketchy apps, I have done a factory reset, I have cleared the cache, i have disabled all bloatware, and i have ran lookout security. The phone is not over heating it often does this when the phone is at standby temp. So any other suggestions on how i may fix this? Thanks
