Hey guys,
I hope you can help me with my problem. I have it now about 1 month and I think I'll have to send my SGS to Samsung if you don't have any idea how to solve this problem.
About 1 month ago (a little bit after I installed arco's cm9, first released version) the phone always showed that it had an USB connection, it always said it was being charged and I couldn't change the USB-Connection-Type to Kies or Media Player. Because of this, I made a backup through CWM and reinstalled CM9 - but the problem was still there. Even after a full wipe of all partitions (system, data, caches) the problem was still there. So I restored a backup I made 3 month ago, where the problem definitely wasn't there. The restored ROM was CyMod. But still, the phone thought it was continual plugged in. Then I tested updating to a stock firmware with Kies - but the software failed doing it.
I thought I would just wait a little bit, because the problem may fix itself - and it partially did. Now, sometimes everything is normal, but the biggest part of the time it changes every second if the Phone is "plugged in" or not. And the bad thing about this is that it keeps the display running all the time. Sometimes, if I knock with the part where the USB-hardware is on my table, the problem is fixed, till I plug it in again or lay it down (even if I lay it down carefully).
So, is there any solution for this problem? I searched XDA Developers and almost the whole internet, but I didn't find anybody with the same problem.
It would be really cool if you could help me. If nobody of you has a solution, I simply send it so Samsung.
Thanks in advance, GC98
PS: Sorry for my bad english, but I learned english for 5 years now and never wrote a post like this before ^^

you try checking the USB port and follow cleaning advise http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27205737&postcount=4571
If it is internal, this will give you an idea http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574211
Thanks for your really fast answer! You give me my hope back
Honestly, I didn't even think of cleaning it. I'll do it tomorrow, here in Germany it's a bit late. I'll let you know if it worked or not!
Sadly, it didn't work. Still the same error. I'll just send it to Samsung. But thanks for trying to help me!

Im really really hoping that someone can help me here
It started this morning around 10:00 or so - I took my phone out to check my messages, everything is working fine. I lock the phone and put it standby (power button) and *surprise*, it locks up and wont come out of standby
So i just re-set it (like im forced to do 20 times a day) and instead of booting it went straight to this red/green/blue screen. At the bottom of the screen it just says "Serial" but doesn't actually give a serial.
I instantly thought it was bricked, so i removed the battery and left it out for a few mins. Then i put the batt back in, and it booted normally. I used it throughout the day with no problems.
Fast forward a few hours and it does it again but now it wont boot at all (ive reset the thing like 100000 times in the last hour ive been working on it).
WTF is going on?? Im really really hoping that it isnt too screwed to fix
The last program I installed was the SPB pack, but that was over a month ago, and i use the phone every day, multiple times a day.
Oh, and to make things worse i was planning on relying on my TomTom tomorrow
and the text on that screen says:
Kais1*0
SPL-1.56.0000
CPLID-8
And at the bottom it just says "Serial" but none is given.
This blows
Have you recently tried to flash your phone? Have you ever? If you never have flashed it or attempted to use Olipof's app, then take it to the store and demand a new one.
Do you see "USB" instead of "Serial" if you connect your sync cable to your phone when in the bootloader?
If so, I would download the latest carrier-branded rom and flash it to your device. As long as the rom is designed for your device, then you do not need to do anything special prior to running the file from your PC.

I have never flashed it but i have spilled water near it (on the counter, the phone got wet but that was months ago and has no relation to this).
Can they check if it has been wet before?
When i plug it into my computer it says USB instead of serial. Should I try to re-flash with an updated rom and see if it fixes it or just take it in?
If you find me on MSN IM ([email protected]) we can run a diagnostic & see what the problem is.

Thanks, ill give you a buzz.
I need to finish and email a few things first (shouldnt take more than 30mins).
Actually, ill just message you tomorrow or something.
Ive been really busy this week.
well did you get it fixed? what did you do?
Yikes, that happened to a friend of mine, but he flashed his and then had to reflash it. I think there is a place on the back under the battery that they use to tell if it's been wet. I would take it back, even if flashing it fixes it, you don't want it to happen again.
oh and it doesn't mean serial like a serial number, it is a serial connection.
I havent been able to get it fixed.
I think ill try to flash it this weekend and see if that fixes it
You'll only make problems worse if you reflash. I've analyzed the MTTY output you've sent me & you have a bad NAND storage blocks.
You need to follow the directions I sent to your email account via MSN IM.
DO NOT REFLASH UNTIL YOU'VE TAKEN CARE OF THE BAD BLOCKS!!!
this happened to me and someone else in XDA a while back. I saw his thread (link below) and then PMed him. I will copy / paste our PMs:

problem that you had talked about. I read that huge thread, lots of great info in there. Although its unfortunate what happened to you, I'm really grateful of all the troubleshooting that you've done before me, so I know what works and what doesn't. Interesting to note that I have had the Tilt since the day it came out, and never cooked/ flashed my rom. I have been using the Tilt rom the whole time with no problems. Otherwise I'm a huge power user and have a ridiculous amt of software installed.
So after everything was all said and done, did you end up just replacing the device? Thanks again man

Anthony,
Yea I went ahead and replaced it. No matter what I did to reflash the original bootloader, and flash the original rom, I always ended up with that same problem. Did you notice that if you can't get it out of the bootloader, but you connect it to your computer, and while it's connect, you soft reset, that it boots? Just curious. that's what happened to me. Either that or I would have to yank the sim and battery, then try.
My tilt was working fine for about a month with a flashed rom, up until I started installing gobs of software on it. Just a thought. If I were you, I would get the device replaced. Especially if you've never flashed a new rom on it - it definitely should not be doing that.

My computer has been broken for a month or two. To answer your question - I haven't been connecting it to anything other than an AC outlet. Anything installed in the last couple months was installed OTA... I usually just obtain a CAB by downloading it directly onto my device.
Also, its weird but sometimes after I drain the batter with the RGB screen then recharge it (this process takes about a day) then hit the reset button, it will actually boot correctly. I am on the third time this has happened. It was bricked for a couple days, then after a combination of charging / depleting got it to boot into windows. Then it happened again, then again.
As long as I don't restart the phone it will stay in windows... If I restart then I lose it for a day or so. Interesting to note that since this has happened, phone calls connect, but I can't hear the other party and they can't hear me.
Also, I use the mini usb out to a 3.5mm stereo jack to stream shoutcast into my car stereo while driving. Last week (at the onset of my problem) the music was playing from the Tilt's speakerphone, and not going through the headphone jack as it normally would. A restart fixed this, but when it happened again a day or so later, the next restart is what got me to that boot screen for the first time.
One of us should post this in the forum...

And just an update, I never sent back my phone or did anything as far as bad blocks go. I just let the battery drain and booted it right up and now it works perfect. I have since installed a few cooked rooms and radios and have had no issues since. This RGB screen was isolated to just those few days that we were talking about in the PMs.

Umm... GOOD FOR YOU!!!
I had him perform a diagnostic & it reported HE HAS A BAD BLOCK! So unless you're psychic or can be sure that every problem with Boot Loader is the same as the one you had, I suggest sticking to what you know.
BTW, search the CURRENT threads, in the KAISER forum, & you'll see I've helped a few dozen people with this & similar issues.

Well, this has happened to one of our phones. Can you just post the fix here instead of requiring the email/IM rotuine?
Hi all,
Sorry if this has been dealt with before, but I haven't found answer.
A strange bug occurred to my I9000: it wrongly detects an USB connection and propose me in the notification bar to mount umount SDcard on PC.
I have flashed a new kernel, rebooted. After that, it seems OK but again, this morning, having done absolutely nothing, the notification is present, as if the phone was connected to PC.
I must say that everything else seems to work properly. It's just annoying to have this notification permanently.
I've tried to clean the contacts using an appropriate aerosol but that did nothing.
Model informations : GT-I9000 2.2.1 I9000XXJQ1 2.6.32.9 root DELL105 1 rooted FROYO.XWJS8
Any idea?
Well actually, everything seems to work except that I can't get the phone recognized by PC anymore neither in mass storage nor in debug mode. :-(
Factory reset phone as first step .
jje
Sorry but we need something less rude if we want iphone users to switch to android ;-)
Such a little bug cannot be solved by just saying: hey revert to factory settings and erase all your datas. That may solve the symptoms but not the reason.
I've digged a little through the internet and there are several reports like mine. It's worthwile to understand why.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
factory reset is what it is,
it reverts phone back to factory standard. there was no issue when you first got the phone so obviously its something YOU have done.
so yes, a factory reset is whats needed, nothing rude about that.
Sorry but we need something less rude if we want iphone users to switch to android ;-)
We dont want i phone users to switch to Android they are mainly too thick don't read instructions and dont understand FAQS .
You have a problem probably caused by you or the rom you flashed or possibly settings .
Fix is to go back to stock Froyo or Eclair wiping phone but first step is Factory reset as its easier .
Or hang around and someone may have the solution or take it to a Samsung service centre .
jje
Thank you for the answer.
I'm already on an official froyo (samsung one) and didn't apply any lagfix since my last factory reset ;-)
I'm not an iphone user, I want to understand where is the trouble and help to fix it (even if I'm a noob on android, I know pretty well how linux works).
As I said before, other people seem to have encounter this problem but the solution given just erase all hints behind the possible bug (that may be hardware linked)
From my experiments it seems that the problem occur only after a first data connexion. The deconnexion is correctly detected (notifications disappear) then, randomly, a wrongly detected usb data connexion reappears.
What are the processes between detection and notification ? That's what I'm tracking.

Hi Florent,
I am also experiencing the same issue. Did you resolve yours? Please let me know.
As instructed I made a factory reset and it was fine for 1 day. 2nd Day morning when I connected the charger it is showing MTP application as if it was connected to PC.

Well in a sense I resolved my problem: the phone doesn't show an USB connection wrongly any more. Problem is: I did nothing! I can't explain it. I now suspect a hardware problem, but as several people on the net report the same thing, it's surprising. That would mean that some SGS have this problem and the vast majority are ok.

Suffering from the same here
I think its related to one of the apps - I will start removing my installed apps one by one from tonight - Will keep you posted with the updates.
Also, if anyone out there had the same issue; please advice!
I had the same issue on previous android devices..I managed to get around it with numerous hard resets. Also I believe that a certain combination of apps will cause it too..but i don't know which ones. I've got a dell streak right now, and its been stable for a few months..having said that, it still randomly reboots once in a while but no where near the consistency it used to.

I had this problem too and it seems to be an installed app problem, particularly any that change the wireless settings in some way or apps that stall when accessing the external SD card at boot times.
this is exactly what happens to me guys, same problem.
Random reboot and this happens all around the clock, no matter if it is day or night or if the phone is in flight mode...
Frankly I don't want to uninstall my apps one by one to check what app is causing the issue because I have no time to spend on it...
I hope that someone with more software skills than me (I am just an user) will succeed to fix it...
cheers.
Do you have Dolphin browser installed?
If it's the case, don't search further...
What's the problem with dolphin browser? I constantly use it and never had a restart. Is OPs phone overclocked or undervolted?
Which rom and kernel are being used?
mine is also rebooting every once in a while for no apparant reason. Mostly when I unplug it from the USB cable but not always. This happened from the first day on. I never did a factory reset but considering it now since the SMemo app is not working anymore (no strokes are visible) and I am out of options.

Dolphin is a well known app for causing random reboot, since SGS 2.
Not for all users but for many:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321612&highlight=randomly
But without Dolphin installed, I really don't know...
I think it's the SD card causing these problems.
My reboot problems all disappeared when I removed the 32Gb sandisk card. I replaced it with a 16Gb card and was very careful about which apps I installed on it. Now whether it was the card size/brand or the selective apps that resolved the issue I can't be sure. Having Dolphin's cache on the phone memory instead of the SD card might also be a solution.
But it's worth investigating if you have reboot problems with external card installed.
Hi guys,
As soon as I got my Note, I rooted it and flashed a custom rom. Never had problems with reboots so far.
So, for a change I though setting it beck to stock was a good idea, with the upcomming ICS update.
As soon as I flashed the stock rom with odin, and it was back to factory situation, the reboots start happening. Every 3-6 hours the Note rebooted. Got in contact with Samsung (NL) and suggested to execute a factory reset, so I tried that a couple of times. But no luck, the reboots keep happening. I thought maybe it was an hardware issue. I have no Sdcard, only my SIMcard, which was a bit warn out, so I order a new SIM. But still, the reboots keep happening.
Then I decided to root my device again and flash a custom rom (Rocket-Rom), and guess what? No more reboots!!!
I hope this helped.
To me, I think automatic reboot is somehow still acceptable. I experienced two times auto power off. Both were happened after I charged it over night, unpluged the charger and left it without unlocking the screen, drove to my work place, and found it dead
I'm only having it for 2 weeks and I haven't rooted it.
it maybe a usb charging issue which is causing so much grief to many note owners. Mine has a defective usb port and it makes my note go crazy, including reboots and makes the note think its charging when its not even connected to charger at all.
Using note since dec... Faced such problem 5 or 7 time whn my phn was nt rooted... But nw its working fine... Using rocket rom v 20...

Hi all !!
From a few days ago, my phone is rebooting frequently by itself.
First, i thought that it was fault of new ROM i flashed, and then i've returned back to the ROM i used before, but the phone keeps rebooting randomly and frequently, i tried then some other ROMs, same thing.
After a few tries, i thought it was fault of my battery, i bought new one, result was good for first day, but after this first day of normal use without reboots, the phone reboots randomly again and frequently, so i'm now afraid, and don't know what i can do.
So, is there anything I can try to help me solve this problem ?!
Thanks in advance.
in most cases its the battery.. but you have tried a new one too.. i have seen a few similar cases and the issue is with the motherboard. have a check at Samsung Service

It reboots even if i don't restore nothing. I managed to get it works without rebooting, I'm just hoping it can keep itself working until I buy another smartphone.
same problem here,
keeps rebooting randomly,
sometimes I pick it up from desk, it reboots,
sometimes after sending a sms it reboots,
sometimes it reboots even when it's on my pocket,
so weird
Do you have an application such as JuiceDefender ? I was having regular reboot with this application.

If everything failed then hardware is sure at fault.
If you dont have warrantee, go safe kernel, wipe, format and such. So no stuff is left over. Because going from one rom to another dirty can cause this
Hello there! This is my first time in this forum so I apologize if this is not the right place to post this.
So, I need help with my Note 9
SM-N9600
One UI 2.5
Snapdragon I think
For a year or so now I've been having trouble with:
- Losing volume in my earbuds
- Experiencing lag in downloaded videos in Nike Training Club and Samsung Health apps
- And most recently the Google Play Store and LBRY have crashed a lot
It all first started after installing tutuapp. at first it was all normal but after a few months I first noticed my buds coming low in volume. Of course I visited every possible thread and blog and advice on the subject but nothing would work so eventually I went to a Samsung store and they offered to reinstall the firmware so I did.
It solved everything! until dummy me I reinstalled the app. It took a couple of months to realize that tutuapp was the source of all my troubles and when that happened I never installed it again, but... I now installed an APK and it happened again. It's worth mentioning that at the time I would only notice the low volume because I didn't use the exercise apps.
Anyhow, reinstalling firmware fixed it again and again (It took me a bit realizing that the APK was the source of trouble) until it didn't and now no matter how many times I reinstall it, my right bud is lower on volume and my left bud just sounds weird. Once I did a reset on the cache memory and it actually fixed the buds volume quality perfectly, although just for about a day and then back to broken.
So far it is clear to me that Samsung has no clue as to how to fix this issue nor care to fix it really, they find any little excuse to make their job easier instead of fixing stuff in my experience. Anyway, It's been so long and I'm a bit desperate to know exactly what the problem is, let alone fix it so I appreciate any help fixing this.
Please and thank you
Factory reset and try .
Flash stock firmware via odin and try .
Fails then its probably hardware .
But as you are clear its an app you install thats the problem not Samsung firmware .

Hi! Thanks for your response.
I have done this reset reinstall countless of times so I have discard it as a solution, I actually reinstalled the firmware a couple days ago and no improvement.
The hardware thought also crossed my mind but how would that be possible? The phone doesn't even have a scratch... literally lol.
I agree it must be an app or some file or something. And I would like some help figuring out which one it is exactly.
Thanks!
