Reboots/hotboot

Wife and I bought SGS3's. Hers is stock and doesnt reboot. I rooted mine and have ran MIUI, AOKP, CM10, CM9, stock and get reboots. I did a android on factory reset and also did a rom manager reset full wipe including the internal sdcard. Didnt use tb to restore phone so had to redownload all apps through playstore (took a long time). Battery connections are fine, even switched my wifes battery with mine, no issue with hers. It seems that i have narrowed it down to when an application requests super user. Also the phone is not doing a full restart, it hotboots, as in it doesnt go to the samsung full restart, it just goes to the custom reboot screen of whatever rom is installed. I can fix permissions if booted into recovery but cannot fix permissionis from rom manager. Everytime it will cause reboot (hotboot). Is everyone experiencing a full reboot or a hotboot?:confused:

---------- Post added at 01:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:48 AM ----------

After doing another full wipe, i reinstalled apps one by one. still getting hotboots. went into recovery ran fix permissions. phone started rebooting on every app. narrowed it down to system tuner pro. uninstalled. no reboots. reinstalled setcpu, reboots. uinstalled. tried setcpu, reboots. for some reason my phone doesnt like processor being controlled. Running kangs AOKP no reboots as of yet, which is a win i guess...:rolleyes:

---------- Post added at 01:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:13 AM ----------

So reinstalled setcpu. Havent had any problems. Reset links2sd, linked all aps to ext4 on external sd card everything is running smoothly. Seems something in System Tuner Pro was causing problem. :cool:

Reboots since a month ago

Hi,

I've got two S3 (me and my wife) and they reboot randomly since about a month ago. It started to escalate during last week when we were on winter holiday for skiing. The phone got quite cold and after that it reboots quite often. If I keep the phone in my pocket, close to the body it doesn't reboot that often. My wife's phone don't reboot that often like mine do. I've checked a lot of stuff but can't narrow it down to anything special. I'm trying to gather info right now from /data/anr/traces.txt on the phone. Nothing in particular at this moment. I'll get back if I find something.

I have 2.0.6 GB ROOTED

And I checked software updates in settings to find A new firmware Android 4.0 about (337) M.B

The question is if i accept downloading this update via wireless .. will I preserve the Rooting option in new ICS ???

Or better to download the Firmware (621) MB from hotfile & Flash it through [mobile odin] ?! although im still aware to do something wrong to end stupidly in breaking the device =/

All i want to keep the Root as I overclock the phone to 1.6 Ghz ...

sry about the nuby question but im afraid to brick the phone +/

Thx in Advance >>>
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shmong:
Emmmm.... if you need the rooted phone, you need to flash custom ROM through CWM. If you'll download new ROM via Wi-Fi, you don't get root.

Just flash 4.0.x through CWM. If you haven't CWM, flash GB with custom kernel with CWM through Odin.

You can get the bricked phone only if you'll make wipe through CWM builded on the stock Samsung ROM.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warfareonly:
You have no idea ? I'm not surprised ! :mad:

Look around you and SEARCH for the things you want.Check out dr.ketan's thread for rooting and follow individual rom guides (in their respective threads) for installing ROMs.Don't just sign up and say you don't know anything and want to be spoon-fed.:mad:

Also,read the hardbrick warning posted by the devs in the dev section
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shmong:
Okay, first of all, small Q&A:

QA:

1) What is CWM? CWM is advanced recovery program. It's built-in in kernel. You can enter in CWM by pressing in powerd off phone home+vol.up+power.

Wht is kernel? Kernel is the core component of the phone ROM. You can flash it separate from other parts of ROM.

2) You can also flash separately the Modem (phone), CSC and UMS parts. Remember, some kernels do not support some ROMs, for example: If you'll flash the Cyanogen Mod, and then some Franco kernel, your phone will cannot start properly. Ofc. you can use CWM in this case.

3) This is scary to flash my phone? No, if you read all instructions, you can "breack it" in the only one case: you'll wipe it from the CWM builded in official samsuung 4.0 - 4.0.3 RoM.

4) What is "wipe/format user data"? This is the way to clear your personal data, and the other trash in your system. You need to wipe before installing new ROM.

5) What happens if i flash new ROM without it? Nothing critical, but some of your apps can work incorrect this way.

6) How to flash kernel from CWM? Download the kernel in *.zip file, copy it to the SD-card, restart in CWM, install zip file. If you have *tar rom-file, use the PC-Odin.

7) What is Odin? Odin is leaked samsung app for win32 for flash samsung devices by USB

8) What is mobile odin? It's better than odin for bigbro? This is the superapp made by one of the xda-dev (chainfire, if i don't mistaken). But u need the root priveledges to use it.

You need to find PC-Odin 1.85 or 1.87, and the rooted ROM with CWM in *.tar format. Close all kies services with "task manager".

Connect your phone in download mode (home+vol. down+power and when is powerd on and ask you about flashing, press "vol. up"), launch Odin. You will see yellow quadrant in odin. Then you need to click on "PDA", then selecting the downloaded ROM file, and do not forget the "pda" checkbox. Do not touch the other checkboxes, then Start.

Wait before it's flashed.

This is the basic guide, ofc.

Hey its me again, I still didnt solve my pervious problem and here is another one!

I have hot pixels on my front camera sensor! I attatched a picture of me hanging out with a friend and you can clearly see the hot lixels EVERYWHERE! It doesnt hapen in indoor shots nor with the back camera. Should I take it back (the phone)?

I am starting to think that I bought a crappy phone :( I mean it get hot as hell, I have cellular issues, and now the camera? WTF! K should have bought the One :mad:X
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gm007:
That's Normal,the front camera have a low resolution sensor.

Use the back camera.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] king-dano:
No no no. It cant be a low resolution problem. In lower light conditions, the photos ale less crisp of course, but dont have theese white dots all over them. I think the sensor might be oversensitive to light or something :D

Not very oftern the screen go on when phone it's locked.

This happens in a complety random way, at least I can't find a precise cause, and I'd like to know what it's the reason of it.

So the question is, there is anyway to recognise the app/service/something else that causes that?

maybe I can write some broadcast receiver which catch some special event and tell wich part of the system has raised the event? just saying... cause I don't know where I should start searching at.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] zsolti256:
I have had a Galaxy Note , and i was thinking not to get the 7.7 because of the same reason, it allways overheated and switched to powersaving mode, and everything slowed down, menu, page loading ect (it became hopelessly slow, embarrising!!). . .

I am a heavy internet browser, and this kills this tab, and this processor sadly I think ICS wont help either(thow in theory it should).

When scrolling on a browser (in Desktop mode)the cpu utilization is nearly always maximum, see with: Cooltool, also check it lock down to 800mhz when overheated, now its summer and this crap overheats after 5minutes, Cant believe none of you have complained!

Im going to sell this tab , soon as there will be an alternative! damm this overheating peice of . . .
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] boelze:
I would really like to know what you do to make it overheat. I surf the web alot too but I never noticed any significant heat change. My Tab only gets really hot when I use photoshop touch or play ressource heavy games.

Could you explain what you exactly do when this happens? IE very much tabs open? Or sites with much flash content?

Maybe you have some ressource heavy app running in the background, I had a bunch of apps in the past that drained battery like mad even if I never started them, that led to very hot device too. But I never hat a shutdown because of that.

By the way if you are using your tab in an extremely hot environment, maybe set lower frequency for your cpu (needs root).
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] zsolti256:
Yes flash heavy sites such as engadget, even not scrolling generates 60-70% cpu in 800mhz, and if i scroll for about 5 pages, you can see and feel the device has overheated. You can test this by setting setcpu onto performance mode and 1400mhz, and use : Cooltool from the market to monitor OSD your current CPU clock, and you'll notice it jumps down to 800mhz, despite setting it to performance! Maybe the next 7.7 will have a cooler cpu, better with architechure less nanometer .
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] FernandoMiguel:
i get that a lot!

no flash enable!

i'm forced to press Power for 5 sec and reboot :( :mad:
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] zsolti256:
My device never freezes never shuts down only locks down the mhz to 800. But if you exit the browser and wait for it to cool down it goes up to 1400again when needed.

I dont know about the shut downs you guys are talking about.

I have found that most of the sites generate alot of cpu useage just sitting on them. I too have flash set to on demand and never start them unless it is a video i want to see . And also intalled Adfree too!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] questionmark:
I haven't noticed something that bad with my TAB however indeed the few times I'm browsing the device indeed seems warmer... So I checked with telegraaph news site in the Netherland as an example; the page is quite big and there are couple non static object in page.

Using cool tool and monitoring CPU usage

Strock browser siting there having the view on a place where all is static yields about 95 # CPU usage...real bad indeed...

I also use OPERA and here the things are better at around #50-56% cpu usage...

I used to have CM9 on TAB 7.7 but it is currently not usable...So I try on TAB 8.9 with GALAXIAN SOUP ROM and Chrome beta... and got about 75# cpu uage on a page having only static object and where the pages is less static (moving objects etc) there it goes at #90 to 95%. So it seems Chrome vs Stock HC browser attempts some optimization here?

So ICS might help a bit but not that much indeed...

I'm really surprised about this high CPU usage on stock browser and Goolge stuff, not sure necessarily the HW is the culpit here, but rather software and optimization. I have IPAD 1 far less powerful and curious to see how it does there .....

So yea it is sad to see that... was not aware of it until now but I bet this is known in the Android community?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] profeduards:
Same overheating problem here on my Tab 7.7's left middle side, and worse, battery drains so fast than usual.

2. Browser (approx 90% failure)

3. Youtube app (100%)

I've read a lot on the forum about the different ROM options, but nothing authoritative on whether any ROMs are SOD-free on the S2. Could anyone suggest a ROM to try, or - could I get by with just flashing a new kernel, e.g. Siyah?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwerty.:
Hey folks, I've EVO 4G, I'm wondering if there would be anyways to Cutomerize the bootloader without rooting Or Flashing ? N remove Sprint Logo ?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
You would at the very least need to unlock the bootloader or gain s-off (or both) in order to flash a modified hboot. You wouldn't necessarily need to "root" the phone - as in gain SU access - but you would need to unlock the bootloader. Then you would have to modify the hboot, which I'm sure is tricky. On top of that, it seems like a dumb risk to take when the only reward is removing the Sprint name from a part of the phone that you'll rarely see, especially if you don't plan on flashing anything else.

If you're talking about the Sprint boot animation, you'd need to be unlocked/s-off and most likely rooted.
