So, here is my story.
I have tried Fresh 1.1, and I found that I was getting may too many reboots both on the phone and on Sense for my liking.
So I switched to Modaco 2, and have been very happy for a while...
I just had yet another reboot.
I was listening to some music, when I had a notification for an email. Looked at the email, tried to lock my phone, then tried to unlock, and that's when the music went off, and my phone rebooted itself....
I'm really getting tired of this. I have not loaded any new apps in the past 2 days. I have minimal apps anyway (Facebook, Weatherbug, Handcent, NPR News, Touchdown, Power Manager and Droidswap, that is it)
does anyone have any history of problems with Droidswap ?
I'm really getting frustrated. I hate when this happens, and I'm giving realy consideration into curtailing my brief incursion onto Android and returning back to the iphone....which is a real shame, as I f**king hate ATT
I would recommend taking your phone back to the store. I have not have had one unplanned reboot the entire time I've had my Hero (bought on release date Oct 9). I'm running Fresh 1.1 now, and had 1.0 previously. There is something seriously wrong with your phone.
I have no problem speaking for the entire android community when I say...
"its been nice knowing you, good luck with the iPhone and att"
Honestly...I have never had a full reboot on its own.
I have seen Sense close out and have to reload usually after I play an intensive game, racing or something like that with alot of graphics. I assume it just runs out of ram and does its thing to get resources back.
That's a rare occasion there's not much people that it has happened to from what I seen. Did u try to wipe your phone and cache & whatnot, do some of that and see what happens

I think I can speak for the whole Android community when I say. "Please don't go" - The more of us we have the better. Given, I completely understand frustration and disappointment.

Bronx,
Myself and many other members of this site and over at modaco's site have given advise on this issue. Griff insulted flipz and other devs in the fresh Rom thread, then went to modaco and started talking trash on the devs here.
Every post is about this reboot problem, that no one can seem to replicate.
I apologize for being rude but if someone doesn't take any of the advise given,then continues to clutter up the forums with new threads about the same thing it ticks me off...
Try TTG. It's made a world of difference for me.

The advice he should be taking is to STOP LOADING APPS.
Out of the apps he has listed, I only use Facebook and Handcent SMS... so I'm willing to vouch for those two as not being the culprit. If he hasn't done a wipe and tried running with minimal apps, then the problem is his own fault.
some people just arn't made for android, and apple's buisness model is "you're too dumb to want to do that" actually applies to some people
EDIT: and there is nothing and I mean NOTHING in the world that gives me more of a nerd-boner than someone "rage-quitting" it puts a beautiful smell in the air... the smell of victory

I haven't got lots of apps loaded.
And I have gone back to stock, wiped, formatted my SD card many times...etc...etc.
All I am saying is that I am experiencing completely random reboots, and I'm desperate to hear if anyone else is.
This dudejdog or whatever he likes to call himself is plain wrong. I have never, and never will trash anyone. I urge him to prove if I have.
Guys, please, I am not into flaming anyone. I paid my subs to Modaco to get his ROM for chrissake.
ALL I am saying is that I am having issues with reboots of sense and phone when running modded ROMS.
I DO NOT HAVE THE SAME ISSUES WITH STOCK.
That's my bottom line here...I do not have issues with stock.
I am going to run stock with all my normal apps for at least a week now to see what happens. I may be back to the boards at a later date because I don't want to give up on this phone.

You could try stock and maybe figure out the Apps2SD scripting that way you have both.

Did you try removing any partitions you might have set up (for Apps2SD or swapfiles)...just an idea, simply reformatting your SD card will NOT delete partitions.

Okay...you said you've gone back to stock. When you go back to stock without any other programs loaded, are you still experiencing the issue?
If not, what I suggest is to load each of your programs one at a time, pausing after you load them for at least 12 hours to see if the reboot occurs. I know that's a time consuming process, but it may help to isolate.
If you are having reboot issues with no additional applications loaded and while you are using the stock ROM, I think there maybe something wrong with the hardware and you should take it back to Sprint for replacement.
Hopefully this helps, or at least points you in a direction to go.

When you return, let us know your results and we'll try to help you. I'm thinking it is an application. I had this issue when I tried to update the Superuser Permission program. When it tried to update from Android Marketplace, it would reboot the phone (I actually saw "System crash is inevitable" in the trace log when it tried to update the program).
If you don't mind me asking, what version of the Stock ROM are you using? I did have issues when I was running a custom ROM (Modaco) running 1.29 and tried to upgrade to a custom ROM (again, Modaco) with 1.56. My issue was force close issues that I could not fix. The solution was to revert back to stock, let the OTA update upgrade the phone, reroot and apply the new Modaco ROM.
I understand this isn't a force close issue, but your problem may be similar in nature.

How do I check for partitions ? I thought formatting would get rid of that ?
I remember partitioning a while back, but I have since formatted, and presumed that would have cleared it ?
I'm not back to Stock 1.56.651.2 build CL85027
I took a chance and re-installed pretty much every application I had previously, apart from the obvious rooted apps like droidswap and cachemate.
It's looking fairly stable for now, but I'll report back over the next few days to see how it goes.
I have to say, I've not once slated anyone on this forum. I have total respect for Flipz and I paid Modaco the subs to try his 2.0 beta and then the release. I really would like to use the rooted ROMS, but right now, I just want to see why my phone is doing what it's doing...

As jdog says in a few posts below the one I'm quoting... I have done everything I can to try and help him. I have directly worked with him. Along with a ton of other members on this forum. He chose to go to modaco and say that it fixed all his problems and trash fresh. Now here he is saying he's having the same problems.... again.
Edit: With the hard reboots you are getting, I honestly think you need to go exchange your phone.
ok so i have a weird problem.. i go to call people and it appears that the number is right for the person i try to call....but i get connected to random people... sometimes when i answer the phone i get nothing but silence. happens to my wife to. don't know if this is a sprint problem or rom. im on stock cm9 alpha 5. when i went to the sprint store and asked them the guy said something about solar flares and the way the planets are aligned.. idk anyone else having this issue or knows how to fix it.. any help is appreciated. and sorry i just quickly checked other forums and didn't find anything
Is your wife's phone also on CM9 Alpha 5? Are you using an Airave at home? If so reset it. If not, does this only happen at home or in the area? If you are both on the same ROM then take one phone back to stock and try it for a couple of days and see if that fixes the problem. Then you know it might have been a bad download resulting in a bad flash.
my wife has a samsung nexus s running "vhgomez36-ICS-NXS-4G-4.0.4 [LOTA r1]" but i will try resetting the airave to see if that helps...sorry for the double post i didn't think it posted in the q&a section

Haha, that explains it. It's ok. It will definitely be the Airave. This never happens outside your house right?
So I have seen a few people saying they are rooted on PG5. Can those of you that have done it please post how it has worked out for you? Thanks.
MOD EDIT:
Questions belong in the Help section, not How-To. I've moved your thread there.

I'm on PG5. I rooted about 10 days ago. After applying all the fixes, it is working ok. Fighting 2 issues. (1). Still getting update notifications every day. (2). Seems like I lost my wireless fast charging capability. I'm going to make some changes tonight and see if that fixes anything. I've learned a lot more about the phone, had some fun rooting it, but haven't really gained much if anything.

You need to disable system updates with package disabler pro or something like that and the updates should stop
I can't recall if I was on PH1 or PG5 when I rooted. I got lucky found a cosmetically damaged SM-G930V early Sept and remember seeing the update requesting install when I met the seller. I did update then root im just not sure to what lol. I used the G930x_QC_Rooted_BOOT.TAR and after pushing SU with ADB she needed very little optimization ie: BusyBox, TricksterMOD, BuildProp & TiB in that order. I had a few obvious issues at 1st but the phone seemed to get quicker & cooler the more i used it overall. The biggest problem I've had so far is getting the adoptable storage feature to stick. Which has nothing to do with root so moving on. All and all I'd have to give the experience 2 thumbs up. Also if you screw up one of your protected partitions like i did you can always use the Verizon Update/Repair Assitant to save your phone. Provided youve registered that phone with Verizon prior to ahem, "messing up" The tool doesnt seem to have a download link its suppose to PuP when you conect phone If it doesnt they have link to the Samsung site where you can DL. Ive since switched to one of the debloated custom ROMs and I guess I never really knew what fast really was because there was this moment when i opened up the recents and i had like 40+ pages open. Scrolling was so beautifully liquid smooth and crystal clear and lightning fast I got a lump in my throat fellas. SHE doesnt slow down! I gotta drink a redbull just to get on my phone!
so i finally decided it was time to root my s7 but I noticed that after finishing the installation process that 1. my phone isnt saving my wifi password so i have to type in my password everytime i get home or disconnect. 2. apps take way too long to install from the playstore . 3. phone lags too much when doing anything on it, launch any app, freezes for 3-4 secs, pressing power or home key to unlock it,2-6 secs to actually unlock takes 3 secs.
i love rooting my phones but for the first time i gotta say that i regret doing it i am not getting any benefits out of this. but i know you guys might have a solution for this so please let me know and if i have to install something put the links or give me the name so that i can look it up. thanks

YOUR issue is the same thread I'm talking about. Look for s7 edge bug fixes root etc. You're welcome. Use the search next time.
Hmm. Not sure why you're experiencing lag. It should be super smooth and super fast! Try flashing CyanogenMod. First, remember to unlock your bootloader though.
Seriously. It sounds like you should have gotten a different phone because if that's what you wanted you chose the wrong one.
Locked bootloader, engineering kernel messes with too much on the phone and it's your only option if you wanted root.
Really now... this has been discussed only about 226,855,195 times within the QC S7 and S7 Edge forums. We all know that root sucks and for some it's better than nothing. Nobody is doing anything because so far nothing can be done that is to include whining about it to Samsung or T-Mobile.
Any other questions?
Yes we get pissy over this because it's literally ALL over the forum. I can't go a single day without reading posts like this and it's like rubbing salt in a wound that won't heal because it keeps happening over and over again. This forum is at least 80% of what you're asking about. Nitroevo is justified in his response to you because we find it hard to believe that it would have taken you less time to post a new thread than it would have been to read a little. Sorry to be blunt about it but it just comes across as being a bit lazy and while some of us have busted our butts to simplify everything for NEW members... along comes someone that has been around for a few years should be capable of doing that for some reason takes it all for granted. So yeah... we get raw about it. Like I said, sorry for the bluntness.
P.S.
And if root means that much to you... seriously, get a different (non-Samsung) phone.
If you still REALLY want Samsung (for whatever reason) then get the Exynos version. That one is capable of a unlocked bootloader which means a heck of a lot more.
(I spent way too much time on this. Way more than I wanted a should have.)
Hi everyone. I did the dirtysanta root, went great, flashed the us996 deox rom, great again, but on neither the us996 nor the stock ls997(im sprint) the camera app is broke. Kind of. When i launch it the views are switched. When in selfie it uses my back camera and vise versa. Now i can install another camera app to work around it so its not a huge deal, but i like the stock v20 camera app. I dont know how or even if its fixable. Any help will be of use. Thanks to all who help in advance. Ps. If in wrong section im sorry, never posted before, please just let me know.
Same here...
Eager to see if there's a way to fix...hadn't realized how much I used the camera!!!:crying:
Weird how it's crapped out like that, never heard of that before on any phone.
@raenemaker are you on the same variant, ROM and network as the OP? You'll stand more chance getting help if you include as much info as possible.
