Hi,
I recently updated from an old 2.2 rom to 2.3.4, (surface rom), and have noticed that occasionally the phone seems to crash for no apparent reason. It is however, not a reboot, as far as I can tell. phone locks up, within 5-10 seconds i'll see lock screen, (there's no boot animation or anything, or error message), with all previously running applications closed. Can't reproduce reliably, last occurred when I was just listening to music on it.
Any idea what sort of crash/problem this is, and what might be affecting it? (ie launcher, rom, kernel etc)
Running surface rom, semaphore kernel, zeam launcher, not OC'ing
Thanks for any help!
Mate i think surface is not too much good....i think u should go with Blockbuster rom....u just flash and you ll find difference....if u like enery efficent then dnt flash anyother kernel remain on stock....and if u likr Overclocked kernel then go with GalaixanGt or Semaphore 1.5.0.....then u see the really stable and energy efficent rom.

Hi All,
I have a strange problem for the last month or so which is giving me a lot of headache. I was hoping someone here could help me.
I have a galaxy s i9000 which I got on contract from 3 UK a few months back which came with Froyo 2.2.1. Everythng was fine and sometime later, i was offered an upgrade to Gingerbread and I went ahead with it. Then, I decided to root the phone as well with CF-Root, something I had never done before (rooting Androids that is).
It went well with that as well, and I got CWM and Superuser installed but I discovered that I can't use the Wifi anymore. The moment I switch on the wifi, within a few seconds the phone goes off into a bootloop. Switching off, battery pull, nothing works and the bootloop just comes back when the phone is booted back up. Apart from a full factory reset and a restore from a nandroid backup I haven't found a way of correcting this. So effectively, I am without Wifi at this point. Since then, I have switched to a different cf-root kernel, added lagfix etc. and everything works...except the wifi. I have not touched the ROM in any way, despite being tempted to do so many times. Didn't want to break anything else in the phone being quite new to this.
The current setup of the phone is the following:
Firmware: 2.3.3
Baseband: I9000JV5
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9000XXJVO-CL182937se.infra
Build: GINGERBREAD.NEJVD
I had other cf-root kernels before, and all of them have the same wifi issue. This one at least gives me a very smooth interface.
Would really really appreciate if someone out there can help me or point me in the right direction. Why am I getting this bootloop when I switch on the wifi and is there a way of stopping this? Many thanks in advance.

I'd come off that baseband as its your network operators release, flash JVH, JVP, JVR or JVB or something, then all should be fine dude

Many thanks. Finally took the plunge and used rom kitchen for jv5 with full wipe. Things seem to be working fine now. Am still using the same kernel and it looks ok so far!
Word of advice....galaxian kernel will double your phone speed it *whoosh* super quick lol

Thanks for that! But now, using my new found confidence on all things Android have installed GB 2.3.4, again from ROM kitchen. The kernel is the Chainfire kernel of JVP. Its fantastic and the phone has speeded up tremendously!! Will still try Galaxian to see if it gets better.
I have galaxy s since last one year and i love it... However my phone has become very slow these days.. I tried several roms and kernels.. Formatted both internal and external SD cards... But still it is very slow... I remember that I dropped it 3-4 times... Is it because of it?
Can someone suggest me please... What should I do...

Maybe over clock it ...? I thought the new ROMs would have helped. It could be the fact that your phone is older now and some internal hardware has been worn out

Eugene's Kernel (Speedy-7)

Can I do anything related to the hardware? I mean how can i check if it is not giving 100%?

I'm no expert so I'm not sure. Best bet would be to replace the hardware which Costs a ton of money. Its better to just a get a new phone. Either that or maybe mess around with new ROMs some more. Maybe you are wiping your phone incorrectly or maybe you use it too much

my suggest...
1. update your firmware to last version (2.3.6).
2. try to change kernel and custom rom.
3. maybe, with some different kernel and custom rom, you can choice the better option for your device. for example, try using kernel semaphore (gingerbread) and custom rom F1 or other.
I would be very surprised if physical trauma has simply caused a slow-down in speed. It would more likely show itself as random reboots and other more obvious symptoms.
Much like Windows, after a lot of use, it slows down - you have said that you've flashed other roms, maybe you just haven't come across a good one; there are after all a lot of different ones...
I would suggest the deodex-ed / rooted stock rom from RAMAD Gingerbread JVT. As I remember it was always quite stable and fast.
The hardware components inside a modern phone will not wear-out after a year - they are not moving parts! - when ram or a processor wears out it usually results in total system crashing not just a slow down.
Thank you all for your feedbacks and suggestions. I use my phone a lot. Usually i use TV out a lot as i do not have a cable connection in my hostel room. I use my phone a lot. I flashed it atleast more than 100 times. I have not seen any reboots, crashed , soft reboots etc very often. When i use MIUI rom my phone is very fast indeed however , it does not have a TV Out and therefore i have to use a stock based rom.. i will try Rammad's GB Rom as per your suggestion and will report back. As i told you that i dropped it a couple of times, is it possible that any of the Internal components have become loose?
Have you ever tried Advanced task killer? Or even killed tasks?

Try ICSSGS RC 4.2. I had the same situation as you. It was fine for one year and I was using Darky rom by that time. Suddenly I started feeling that my phone is too slow. Lot of stuck. Sometimes I had to remove battery just to restart.
Now running above ICS rom with Devil 14.2 Kernel its rocking ...
yeah I'd suggest u the advanced taskkiller too
in options you can set the auto killlevel to safe, so that it kills smth like games in the background but not important apps
since then my phone is quite fast even with stockrom

Yeah, and you can just use the ATK widget when you close out of something press the icon and it kills all the background apps...
I will surely try ATK and ICS roms as per your suggestions...

keep us updated...
Just get stock jw1, flash with reparation to wipe everything, then do a factory reset via secret dial code. Now install semaphore 2.5.0 kernel. Dl superuser to get root. Now install thunderbolt tweaks the main package and the 60lmk other addon(read thread how to) . This is the best setup i can think of in terms of speed bat life and functionality. Next step look in pikachus Android optimization thread and remove the bloatware listed there, basically remove as much bloat as possible. Enjoy ur fast phone.

Perhaps you should try the ICSSGS RC4.2 with Devil 14.2 LED VC Kernel. I'm on it and its awesome, my phone lags no more and I'm using it for my primary phone.

So I was on iMilkas rom for a bit. I decided that I really needed Skype and netflix to work so I went back to stock for a bit while I decided what to do. Everything went back fine. However whenever I reboot my phone it plays a tune over and over for about let's say, 6 MINUTES!!! It loops over and over and over. I go into my sounds and my default ringer is set properly and my notification sound is set. (neither is this annoying tune btw). Any ideas why this phone keeps doing it. Also I swear it gets a little longer with every reboot.
version: 2.3.6
baseband: DDLB1
kernel: DDLB2
oh and the song it repeats over and over is the one of the defaults: "Over the Horizon"
Does sound like a funny bug. I swear I heard something similar a month or so ago and a reflash of the rom solved it. Someone may be able to determine the exact problem for you though

Symptoms of improper flashing mate.Try factory reset if it doesnt work try to reflash the rom again
hard reset it or flash it again
Man I was hoping that wouldn't be the best solution although in the back of my head I think it is. Considering this, I might just downgrade again and re-enable root so I can restore with TB. Since this is where I'm heading I guess i'll spend the rest of my time in the developer forum finding the most suitable rom to jump on board with. Any suggestions from people on GB roms? ( I can't go to ics as I need Skype to work for "work".
Best rom to go with is rocketrom v22 its a gb rom and you can get the ics look with a matching theme put franco kernel 9 and you are ready to roll into awesomeness!!
rocket rom comes in miui theme by default but in the opening post of the rom u will find a perfect ics theme to go with!!
the best combo is rocket rom plus ics theme plus franco kernel
SHOT from my LOADED GT-N7000!!
I've seen similar problems mentioned with early versons of SuperSU.
have you updated to this recently?
some were able to resolve the issue by disabling the notification toasts, and/or granting SU access as default.
I installed MIDNOTE 2.0 yesterday and I must say that it is a flawless ICS rom. I dont have any problems at all!!!
Hi, I have a Captivate running Jelly Bean 4.2.1 (Slim-4.2.1.Beta.1-OFFICIAL) on a Semaphore kernel. It works perfectly when it's plugged into a computer through USB. Otherwise, it reboots into recovery, every single time it goes into standby, even when it's on a charger. I've tried raising the CPU speed, uninstalling SetCPU, re flashing the ROM, and nothing helps.
Is this a hardware issue, app issues, or does it have to do with the ROM or kernel? I had CyanogenMod 10.0 with a devil kernel running on it previously, and it did the same thing.

Have made you many any changes/mods?
Also, did you try going back to stock KK4 and reflashing the rom you want to use?
If it's recurrent on 2 different Roms, then it's most likely something you restore or some mods. Hardware issue is possible if it does it on stock.

No, I haven't really made any changes. It wasn't doing it on stock a couple days ago, before I flashed the new ROMs. I installed an App (wakelock powermanager) that keeps the cpu running. That fixes the problem but it drains the battery way too fast.
I'm trying to figure out how would be the best way to go back to stock.
Thanks

The best way to go back to stock is the one I mentioned, Odin one click KK4 (in the dev section).
Hello there, i have my galaxy s for two years now, i've been flashing almost every rom i found, from froyo to cm7/miui to cm9, 10, 10.1, all have been wonderful and i thank you all for this.
All the problems i ran into i solved reading through hundreeds of pages and thousands of posts without the need of asking questions, again because of this wonderfull comunity.
Cm10 is my favourite but i have a little problem with it, which appeared short after the last partition layout change. My phone is constantly and randomly freezing whenever i browse the internet (using only stock browser). By freezing i mean the image get's stuck and all buttons, exept for the capacitive which light up when i touch them. It only works to hold the power button for 8 sec for the phone to reboot. After the phone reeboots, the kernell splash screen appears il loads up then the screen hoes black, the kernell splash screen loads again then it continues normaly, it's like a double boot or something.
The problem appears only on cm10 and aokp (4.1.2), havent tried miui4.1.
I also tried stock cm10 kernel, semaphore, devil, mackay, not using oc, ov, uv, anithing special, only on ondemand and smartass v2 governators
I have to mention it happens with flash installed and also without flash, with and without big mem libraries and setting in kernel.
Some help please would pe aprecieted, because for me cm10 and derivates work best.
Thank you and sorry for my bad english

Ynt: I9000 freezing randomly
First off "double booting" is just because of init.d scripts you're using.Some kernel options of yours too.So that's not the problem. I'm just like you.To be honest,i WAS. I stopped using custom roms for 4 months... I'm tired,bored.... So ... Also i'm using my phone just for music,texting,calling... not games actually and stock rom with stock kernel i mean without any tweak ,it's enough for me
i'm still continuing flashing but only switching between gb roms currently i'm on JW9 (Released in Jan 14 2013 ). Custom roms always better in performance but i dont need performance... It's all about battery life and stock for me!
