Try updating HD Widgets

If you're using HD Widgets, try the latest update. There's a documented problem with Android 4.2 and some call made by some apps that causes random reboots.

I updated mine a couple of days ago and <fingers crossed> it seems to be much more stable now.

Here's the link from the HD Widgets description: http://m.blogs.computerworld.com/android/21427/android-42-random-reboots

Do not Use 4.2 Camera and Camcorder it has those bugs described use the camera that Jamie has with the ROM Ive never had a Problem with the Camera/Camcorder.

If you are getting those problem on the camera that came with ROM sorry to assume other wise. Then do a Clean Install also wipe Internal SD that helps with a lot a problems.

not sure how it is with v2.54 ...I'm on v2.17 and this is how to make "torch toggle" works !!

~~~

I don't know why people kept saying TORCH (toggle) doesn't work... I think they miss one setting that I am aware of..etc

settings-->> system -->> notification drawer -->>widget buttons:

scroll all the way to the bottom and

make sure "flash mode" is set to "NORMAL"

...

not "HIGH"

normal will make torch toggle works... high will not !!

~~~

Staying with v2.17 because

EVERYTHING

works for my device... and

NO FLICKER ...NO RANDOM REBOOTS WHATSOEVER !!

... and battery life is strangely last a looong time :good: :victory:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mtnichols04:
I use TiBu for everything. I do a full wipe every update and have my phone back exactly how it was in 10minutes.....with no issues.. not sure why people say to stay away. Granted I have TiBu pro, maybe it makes a different, but it works like a charm for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] people211:
I found that If you turn torch on by the app while the toggle is off, you can use the toggle to turn it on or off.. the toggle will just be backwards. It will say off while it's on, and on while the light is off. I tried to do it the other way, but that didn't work
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Teufel Hunden:
Or turn off all toggles and download the power toggles from play store and Boom shiz works!

Biggest dog on the block, NOTE!! PAed JB
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] pTeronaut:
Then go into TiBU and turn Power Toggles into a System App. ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SystemErrorOne:
Yeah I figured there was a bug or something with torch. Cant we just use any other flash app and make it work with the toggle option? Maybe add some other flash light app to the system and intergrate the toggle thing...if not its cool. My camera allows me to take photos so its alright it only flickers once in a while.

***RANOM***

Have you guys seen the Multi Window mod from the GNote 2..? its been ported to other Galaxy devices. Im gonna do a nandroid back up and see how it works on my Gnote..hopefully it works. If it does ill make a video (:

Restore apps but do not restore app data when using TiBU. Don't even backup app data. Just the apps.

Titanium Backup has been the most useful app I have on my phone, I've used it since day one, and never once had a single issue with it.

Not every phone and app behaves the same for every person. Incompatibilities exist across similar devices. If it happened after he restored apps, then start there and work backwards.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] defrederick:
Sigh, even with Location Settings turned off, my system rebooted twice today. So I'm no closer to pin-pointing the random reboots on my phone. I was able to stop the flickering, however, by getting rid of the live wallpaper. I'm using Go Launcher.

I have used Go Launcher back in the day...but i think they put too much ads in their launcher. Not ads like you see online but they integrate the stupid theme and go news thing with the launcher.

I really love this rom but so far I've tried 3 different alarm apps (plus, xtreme, stock) and all of them have failed to wake me up due to some random app closures or glitches :(

I had a final exam today too and my alarm didnt go off. Good thing I was skeptical and used a traditional alarm as backup. I hate to ask here but are there any other ICS/JB roms that are similar to paranoid android but much more stable? PA is a bit too sketchy for my daily driver :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JamieD81:
I use stock android alarm without issue, wakes me up every morning
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] eugenekim618:
Same here. Maybe revert the DPI/Layout to stock for the clock/alarm app?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Theoriginalgiga:
I had the same problem as well though it happened every once in a while. I ended up doing a clean install and redownloaded all my apps from the market and that cleared up the issue somewhat, but still persists only less. As for your request of a different ROM, I've tried all of the ones in the original development section and they all have very similar issues. Apps crashing, radio not coming back on after a random reboot. I like both Liquid and PA. PA is faster and Liquid has the appearance of being more stable, though I wouldn't say that it is. Until JB source is released, I would guess these issues will continue . If you want something even more rock solid, you may want to consider going to ICS. I use alarms plus as my daily alarm and it starts Pandora for me, works 99% of the time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] BlownFuze:
Are you using one of the stock alarms, or your own from the sdcard? If you're using stock alarm, then I don't know - no issues here.

If you're using an alarm that is on your sdcard (internal or external), then everytime the phone reboots (random or user activated), you need to go into alarms and select your tone. Wait for media sound whatever to force close, click OK, then go back in and select your tone. You'll be good to go until the next reboot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cgg123321:
This is probably it. I'm using mp3's from the built in memory for my alarm. Is this a known issue with PA or all the current JB roms? Considering how much the phone resets when I'm sleeping, mp3 alarms are basically unusable.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dandel0074:
Question: Is there any way/tool/instructions on (if its possible to) Port PA settings to a I605 galaxy note 2. I did some searching and couldn't really find anything still searching but hoping some one know about it or point me in the right direction.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wase4711:
nope not at this time
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] BlownFuze:
It's a JB thing. Remember, Samsung hasn't released JB for the note yet. Once they drop it, we should be good.

I'm down to a reboot once every 10 days, on average, with PA 2.54. Everything else is fine, so I have no complaints - Jamie has done great work with getting this on our notes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Theoriginalgiga:
Agreed, Jamie has done a fantastic job.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Teufel Hunden:

Anyone have luck with this?

pa settings arent working for me right now.. this is what happens when they split things up and screw with things :\

though i was able to restore my old settings

edit: well that was an easy fix for pa settings,

use root explorer *or another one like it*

go to /ect/paranoid

open backup.config and go to the bottom

remove *-Utacka* from the end of the bottom line

save and exit

reboot

OR edit that file before you push the zip to your phone, then flash as normal *easier method*

Unfortunately not. Edited the file and still the same...

Yep, all four alarms worked today.

I flashed PA 2.56 with TWRP 2.2.1.1.

I wonder if the older versions of TWRP (you know, the ones that took an age to fix permissions), actually fix more permissions than the newer versions?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ZPaul2Fresh8:
Everything is smooth sailing. I've had one reboot while web browsing a flash based website watching a video.

The only other thing I've noticed is that the Torch shortcut in the notification bar doesn't work. The torch app itself works but not from the shortcut.

I honestly can say that for each update they bring something new comes out and boyyy if you havent checked out the new features that are coming out and what the PA team is working on then your far behind if your on 2.17. Now stable is another thing..the devs im sure wouldnt release a messed up update for all of us to complain. They do amazing and i give props too them for everything. But i must say and agree that if you stay behind on a stable copy then great for you (: I just hope all these bugs get fixed..
