[Q] Why my Galaxy S locks up?! (Comatose Syndrome on going investigation)

Hi Guys,
Could someone tell me why my 2 weeks old Galaxy S (Service Provider: Bell) turns it self off out of the blue?
It happend twice already, the phone was on my pocket, I pushed the on/off side botton and nothing happens, the screen is pitch black!!
This is an irritating issue as I'm forced to physically take out the phone from the case and remove the battery and put it back on to turn on the phone.
Does anybody whats causing this issue? and how to fix it ?
Your help is much appreciated!
Cheers

Also, I was wondering if I do a factory reset to try solving the random shutting down problem, will I have to re-purchase all the apps I bought from the Market?

Send for warranty is needed I think

No, the info that you purchased the apps is stored in your Google account. So if you use the same Google account as you're using now as your primary account after reset, you can download all those apps for free. (Primary account is the Google account you first associated with the device.)

i had the same problem with 3 different bell vibrants. About 6 days ago, i bought a new sim card from bell for $5, and it has not happened since. I bought my phone from Bestbuy, but bought my new sim card from Bell store because perhaps the bestbuy sim cards are outdated. Hopefully it stays ok.
One thing i did notice was that when my phone would turn off by itself, it was always in an area where there was bad reception. Maybe a link.

I found that it happened when I installed a different launcher other than Touchwiz. I was using LauncherPro, uninstalled it and everything worked fine. I installed ADW and everything is fine so far.

I saw this thread yesterday and was thankful mine hadn't developed this issue. And then last night after about two hours idle time, my SGS switched itself off and the power button wouldn't respond at all. The only way to revive my beloved phone was to do a hard reset (i.e. removing the battery).
For what it's worth, the only "mods" I've made are installing a handful of apps. No new launcher, no custom ROMs etc.
I'm tempted to give Voda a ring and ask for a new SIM. But this really smells more like a hardware fault to me. A faulty SIM shouldn't result in a handset switching itself off, I'd think...

i'v encountered smailar problem , first i thought my phone turned itself off, later i suspected some apps i'v installed ( setCPU, autokiller etc), after while and digging, i found that i'v installed "Android Tweak" , it has an option to disable screen dim, and i'v used that option, so i changed it back and the problem is gone.

in Spain we have the same problem and no solution by now

Same thing happened to me last night. Maybe a bug with the date?

Mine just died again ten minutes ago. I guess it's a possibility, but considering the number of bugs that we're all discovering with the hardware and software, I'm suspecting it's yet another dodgy batch of phones from Samsung.

I just bought two Galaxy S and I am having same problems with both. I called Belll and they said they never had this kind of problem before. I had installed few apps and thought may be those apps were causing the problem, but even after deleting the apps..phones are powering off itself...
Did any one find the solution yet??

Same problem here, and from what i am hearing is becoming frecuent among galaxy owners. Im amazed something this important hasnt made the news , i mean, its a huge malfunction issue .

I had the same issue.
I called up Samsung support and they asked me to do a phone reset. I didn't try that, but I upgraded the firmware and it's gone now. I suspect resetting the phone will also solve the issue.

This happened to me for the first time today as I woke up and it wasn't dark outside. When I looked to see what time it was my phone (that I use as an alarm) was off!!
This is the first blemish on an otherwise outstanding experience. But it is a major one. I will assume that it is somehow related to something I've installed. But I'm not looking forward to figuring it out, since I've got a lot of apps

Good luck. I did a factory restore the other day to see if that would help. It didn't. Like you I use my SGS as an alarm... I woke up two hours late this morning because my phone had switched itself off in the middle of the night.
I'm currently waiting for a replacement handset. I'm not holding my breath that the new hardware won't have exactly the same bug though...

Mine started doing this yesterday...same with a bunch of coworkers that have the same phone. We think it may be related to bad reception.

Sigh
My phone just started doing this in the last couple of days.
I've also noticed sometimes it gets into a state of continuously saying "usb debugging connected" and then "usb connected" and just continuously keeps displaying those even though it has no usb cable anywhere near it..
Havent flashed the phone for about a week now and it was fine for 3-4 days after the flash so no idea what is going on..
Anyone else seen those usb messages? They come and go.. but it seems when they come its usually when my phone turns off..

I've not seen anything like that myself but then I have stuck with stock firmware.

Thats funny...because the only time it has happened to me is at work, where the phone is struggling for reception. It has turned off a total of about 8 times over 1 month. It has never turned off anywhere else (except one other time i was getting bad reception in the forest, and a few minutes later it was off)...strange

Having random reboots :(

Its So annoying! Just happened again. Got a google + nofication, opened it phone rebooted. Happens with any app randomly even camera will sometimes lock which results in a reboot. I'm 100% stock.

Mine is the same. Im pretty sure its hardware, my phone is acting more and more crazy. Latest update pretty much ****ed the phone up completley. There aint a software fix out there and ive searched for five months and no improvement. I got my money back and got to keep my phone so i dont care anymore.
im soon getting my OnePlus One and then i will leave sony for good. they have too much problems for the pricetag tbh and they aint very keen on fixing them.

I like the phone & everything but I only have a few days to decide if I want to return it.

I wonder if running CM would solve some issues.

Return it!

If you can return it then return it. Ive tried custom roms aswell and still got thoose random reboots.
Return it. wait a few weeks and buy another one The one you have now sounds like it is hardware related issues on.

[Q] Noticing random resets

On 2 separate occasions today I found myself looking down at my Nexus 6 to find it powering up.
Is anyone else noticing random resets? I have rooted, unlocked bootloader and removed encryption on mine.

I get this a ton of times. I'll take care the phone out of my pocket and screen is black. I'll hit the power button and the device is dead. Then I'll hold the power button until it restarts. This happens at least 2-3 times a day its very annoying

Did you get your phone from AT&T? If so they had a recall which had a problem where it causes reboots and shipped with wrong software.

I got it from Play store.

Mine was shipped from T-Mobile to my door

Same here, but much less common than you described. It's probably happened to me twice since I've owned it (I got mine on the 17th from Motorola).

Hmm try attaching a last_kmsg after a reboot to determine what causes the reboot or steps on how to reproduce it. I have not had a random reboot and mines was from t mobile.

Mines from moto

I'm leaning towards this not being a software issue but a hardware issue. I've went ahead and opened a case with Motorola and they are sending me out a replacement phone. Hopefully this will fix this issue going forward.

It happens to me about once a day. I cannot pinpoint the cause.

It's happened to me twice in 8 days.

has happened to me every day since i bought it (wed 26th) bought from bell store in Canada (blue 32gb)

It's happening to me too. Got mine from AT&T. Mine randomly cuts off. Not rooted or anything.

I said before on other threads before, out of 3 nexus I bought from GPS one of them rebooted twice the first day, and the second day was unusable, rebooted every 5 mins. For me it was a hardware problem, i flashed factory image, factory reset, everything and nothing, called google, they send me the replacement, and never seen a random reboot on it.

Random Reboot

Is anyone else getting a random reboot on their Note? I have the unlocked variant. It has rebooted about 4 times since I got it yesterday evening.
Update: Adhell was the issue. Stay away from it for now, guys!

Only had my Unlocked Note8 for 20 hours or so but no reboots yet.

May not be related, but there is an option to have the phone reboot on its own automatically during a certain time.
Is it possible you may have tweaked this option? Again may not apply here but worth a mention...

No, it's been at random times. I'm wondering if Adhell is causing it. I 'think' it started after I downloaded it, but not 100% sure.

Got mine yesterday. After I set everything up it started happening to me as well. Did a factory reset and set everything up a second time and all was well. Took the phone of the charger at 100% and went for a cigarette. When I came back 10 minutes later, the battery was already at 94% and rebooted itself again. I will try again to factory reset and won't use smartswitch this time to see if it helps. I use adhell as well so I will uninstall it first and see what happens.

over a week here, no reboots and I even used helium to restore apps/data

After disabling Adhell I no longer get reboots. Looks like it's the culprit.

I have not had one problem with mine at all. Not one freeze or lag or reboot.

That's causing it because I had the same problem. I removed it and everything good now. Adhell isn't compatible with the Galaxy Note 8 yet.

So I disabled adhell and no more random reboots. Great find @lUnorthodoxFoxl !

I am having the same reboot issue, after adhell 2 install, just removed it, lets see if that clears up the issue. Really need a good working ad blocker!!

I had Disconnect Pro on mine for less than 8 hours and had tons of network hang and restarted/rebooted at least 5 times, just removed it so I hope things go back to normal- embarrassing standing in the store and having to wait for your phone to finish restarting to pay for your groceries...

I have had a couple of complete system freezes that has caused the phone to reboot. But they are very rare. I put it down to an app issue rather than the phone.
--

I have not had one freeze or reboot and I have had this phone since the 7th of September. After I had to turn in my Note7 I got the V20. The V20 was terrible I couldn't wait for the new Note to come out. That thing would just loose signal but I think that was crapy Tmoblie. But the V20 Froze all the time and rebooted. The only good thing about the V20 was it had 3.0 QC and it was twice as fast at charging as the Note8 and the speakers were a little better. The Note8 is far superior to the V20. I am going to go out on a limb here and say it's going to be better than the V30 too.

Never once did I get a reboot or freeze up.

We have 2 notes and one is freezing and rebooting atleast twice a day in random apps, no Adhell installed. I will try a factory reset and hopefully that takes care of the issue

Random shutdowns with the Galaxy M105F

Hi, My friend bought the samsung galaxy M105F two months ago, And now it's started to shutdown randomly, I flashed the phone today hoping that it would fix it, but unfortunately, The phone turned off right after passing the setup Is there anything else I can try to maybe fix it? And do you guys have any Idea on why the phone is doing these random shutdowns?
