Hey guys,
I could need a bit of help! It's now the third time I'm having this problem, don't ask me why. I've got the feeling that I read the whole forum here, but didn't find anything similiar.
The 1st time I didn't change anything (ok, rooted it, but nothing else)
The 2nd time I overclocked it slightly (~850-900 MHz)
Now I'm using MIUI.
But back to the problem:
I'm unable to use the keyboard, every time I'm sliding open the keyboard (even when it's turned off), it "crashes". The screen stops working or it freezes, the only way to turn it off is taking out the battery.
However, the bigger problem comes now: I'm barely able to restart it. It tries booting, but is restarting all the time or the screen is just turning on (in some angles you see that it is turned on but it's black). After many retries, it starts working, sometimes the bootloop is running 15min or i have to manually restart it 10 times or more. The strange thing is that the keyboard works fine, nevertheless I have to choose between using it opened (taking it with me becomes difficult ) or closed...
...the main problem now is flashing a new Rom, I'm currently trying it through the android sdk and adb, but using the power-button + x is easier
I don't think that I can solve the problem, I sent the device two times back (warranty till may 2012), but maybe someone here knows a bit more. My guess is that one of the sensors is broken, or some parts of the display that should manage the sliding process...
Anyway, thanks for your attention!

the computer isn't finding it anymore...I'll back up the data and try use my warranty... I hope that they don't complain about MIUI...
But I'm still not getting the point, why my mobile had these issues three times, although they "repaired" it twice...and nobody else is having the same problem
My mum's Galaxy S I9000 keeps and rebooting randomly and can happen at any time such as during phone calls, viewing emails, texts, the lot! She is on gingerbread.bojv8 2.3.3 and i was wondering how i can stop it rebooting and whether rooting the phone and applying a custom rom could fix this? I have also realised that she cannot switch wifi on as it 'Error'.
If you give adivce to root it, please can you provide me with some thread links on tutorials and reliable rom's
Help would be muchly appreciated, many thanks,
Tom

Why don't you get the phone into recovery mode vol up + home bttn + power bttn then wipe cache partition and data/factory reset this will solve the problem but will delete all the phones data
If she sets up a Gmail account on the phone, her contacts and apps will be backed up online and will be reinstalled automatically during initial setup. Hope it helps.

Factory reset didnt alter it and neither did wiping cache partition in recovery, wifi still not working.
The phone just restarted 4 times in the last few minutes and turns itself back on when manually turned off!
Please help!?

My phone has the same problem...
Is Ur phone rooted?
If my post helped, don't mind hitting THANKS
If still under warranty no sense messing with it. I would take it to a shop/service center before trying to root or install custom rom. If factory reset and clearing cache hasn't helped a custom rom probably won't.

no it isnt
My Galaxy has beed doing it allmost from day 1. I did get it fresh from beginning with Froyo (if my memory serves my correctly) and then it was like - "its ok - wait Gingie to come ant that solves problem". Gingie came - problems did NOT solve. Opted for rooting - bricked the phone. Was lucky - carrier changed the phone - telling me that "motherboard was faulty and needed to change. Afterwards did check numbers (I know - i am little paranoic) - number where the same - so they probably just but fresh rom or something like this.
It was OK like few weeks - then it started again - random reboots every imaginable time - - doing something - not doing something. Just few minutes back - phone was sitting on the table - doing nothing and then - BABAHH - reboot.
I have tried mostly everthing - keeped it squiicky clean - no added apps, no added info - even not synced (no google, no live, no yahoo or whatever) - dialed numbers from paper and so one - no differences. Some day it rebooted few times, then few days it did not. I have tried allmost ALL launchers (Go, ADW, Holo, EZ etc - GO and EZ are the best - others lagging far behind) including this HOLO derivative modded TouchWiz - it did not installed. All versions from this forum give same answer - file error something.
I have a feeling that this is the crappiest phone/soft ever in the world.
Did use Dell AXIM (X5 and x51v) as a phone starting in 2002 - no problems - sorry one problem - BATTERY. Then did get ASUS P750 - no problem (was not very user friendly but worked SOLID) - battery lasted once when listening music 9 hours on row - ok screen was out - but still. Now I am so pissed off that will ditch Android as crappiest sh1t and smsung as crappiest hardware and will get Lumia 920.
It has 2 compoents that basically never failed my - Nokia phone (I allways had 2 numbers and second was allways Nokia). Nokia soft aint best but hardware is solid - (love my X2 - best phone ever) and when combining with Windows mobile it should be like manna from heaven for the phone hell from that this last 2 years are cousing my - "thanks" for android and smsung.
As for those restarts/reboots I have looking for problems roots and it seams that problem originating from BT/3G/WiFi hardware. They have some kind of incompatibility problem with android. When in flight mode then phone can go like a week with no restarts. As soon those are on (can You imagine using phone WITHOUT 3G or basic phone function?!) turned on restarts will happen. Google and Samsung know that but they scrubbing net from that information. When i started looking in to it more then year ago then i find some stories about that. Saved the links but after few weeks non of them worked any more.
I have few gollegues using Galaxy as well (S+, S2, S3 and few others) and ALL of them telling me that this random rebooting is a issue. Some model little less some more.
If some one has some kind solutions let me know - maybe some other persons find it here to and this can help them to.
Thanks.
Thanks for the information, just have to put up with it i guess!
Well I can help you with rooting and applying custom ROM
it might solve your problem!!

So far I know custom roms did not solve the problem totally.
Some phones have less reboots but they did not go away totally.
I guess something is very wrong with this phone physically.
I have "romming" and "rooting" more then once and more then one phone.
(Starting from my "beloved" DELL AXIM x51v and ASUS P750 :laugh: )
But this one is like messenger from techno hell. Did rooting for 3 phone
for my coworkers and few for the family (Gal S+, Gal Y, SII) and all of them
rooted nicely - just few drops of sweat now and then. So I dont want waste
any time on that "crapper".
If it dies before i get Lumia920 then I use Nokia X2.
I might grab Android Tab in future to replace my Bookees Cybook but no more android phones
Hi guys. My SGN is permanently freezing while booting. Suddenly the red lines appear and phone is stucked. It stucks on boot logo, or boot animation, or after successfull boot into system. It looks like this:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/61718936/IMAG0003.jpg
Phone becomes quite hot on the back near camera.
I bought phone with stock 2.3.6. It was running for about 2 hours and i made OTA update to 4.0.4. It started to reboot itself while i was using it. So thought, i might use custom ROM to get rid of this freezes and reboots. But no change. Even on 4.2.1. I reverted back to 2.3.6. I noticed, that these red lines changes and moves (or even whole screen becomes red) while i'm twisting or pressing phone on various places. So i think, there is cold solder joint somewhere on motherboard. Maybe on graphic chip, because i didn't notice this problem while in recovery or download mode.
Can anybody help me with this problem, or point me on right place to look at on motherboard? Thanks in advance.
Seems to be defective device. Check with service center.

If you're able to, run this app to check for errors, I take it you have root. If it crashes mid scan, you've got problems with your emmc.

I hope you will find a solution for your problem.
But I have to admit I had to smile ("grinsen" in German is a much better word for it) when I saw your title:
Freezing even when >30°C
i'm not able to run device anymore but i already tried this app for checking emmc and this is the one with that bug. But it doesn't matter, because i was flashing only safe kernels, and i don't think this emmc is problem. I think the culprit is graphic chip, or CPU, or CfRF (Chip for Random Freezes)
I was not able to find any similar problem. Tomorrow, i will try to put device into download mode, flash any custom safe kernel with CWM, leave device in this recovery, and see if it freezes again. If yes, the only option is to get device warmer for a few degrees (300-350°C with my heat station haha ) and i will see if there was any cold solder joint. If not, device will be dead anyway so i have nothing to lose

guys i've made a small progress. I put a pressure on back side of the phone near camera, and i turned the phone on. It successfully booted to system. When i stopped pushing phones back, red lines appeared immediately and phone freezed. When i start to twist phone in hands, lines were getting bigger or smaller. When i pressed the back cover again, lines disappear (but phone was still frozen).
So now my task is, to find out, which chip is badly soldered.

You guys started having strange issues with ur notes. Maybe its something like a self destruct programmed on your phones so that after a year or two people will switch their phones. Besides the bigger the phones are getting the more issues they are having.
A phone should be like a device that shouod work flawless, in case of emergency one is needing to make a call and found that the phone freezed.
Sometimes i blame everything to android. Despite years of open development. Its yet not stabilizing, i guess because of it being open source vendors are putting crap in it making it more vulnerable to issues.
I dont rely on android rather i use a cheap phone for calls and text or iphone. Its just good for internet, ebooks, movies, music and camera.

Try pulling out the battery and then let the phone dry like a pair of wet socks. Clean the contacts and fit any loose thing that there may be.
Check your cable, if is loose or not, this way you could find if there were any unwanted sparks applied on the device.
Notice how it gets hot when is plugged in and you're using it? the battery reaches quickly 55 degrees which is not optimum, wait to cool to below this temperature.
My condolences in this sad event. Take care.
I have the feeling I'm going to get repetitive here guys, but I've been reading the troubleshooting threads for over an hour and couldn't find an answer to help me.
Last saturday I was to lazy to move from the couch, so I watched as my S3 Mini ran out of battery. I got the "phone is turning off" screen as usual. Later I went to bed, but as I needed my alarm to go off in the morning I tried turning it on again, and nothing* happened. Plugged it on the wall, nothing*. Replaced the battery, nothing*. Gave it a good half hour plugged, and as you can guess, nothing*.
* when I say nothing, I mean it won't light up, won't vibrate, won't wink for me, won't load any kind of error, it's actually just like if you were trying to turn on a phone without any battery connected, no grasp of life comes from its poor soul.
The only moment I could see some action on the device is when I tried connecting it on the PC a few hours ago, as it installed drivers to Windows. Right after installing the drivers however, it won't show in the file explorer. I've tried to detect it with a few development tools such as ORT and Odin and there was no sucess either. Download or Recover mode will not work as well.
One thing I think worth mentioning, is that ever since I rooted it a couple of years ago, whenever I tried to recharge it while it was off, the standard "green charging battery" would never appear. What would appear on the screen was a freezed loading icon (the one that keeps roling again and again, but frozen). This particular issue never came off, even reseting it or installing new ROMs.
I always used Maclaw's, some of the latest 4.x, because I tought the 5.x was to heavy for the s3 minis.
I've read some about USB JIGs and stuff, but what makes me very curious is what the heck?! The phone was working just fine, the battery runs out and I have a brick? Is this possible? Can anyone tell me any work around?
I apologize for possible grammar mistakes.

try to plug in the phone into charger & leave it there like 20 mins or more. battery loads then.
then try access samsung download mode, if you cant the phone is probably useless (brick for ever) because itslike mthe last standing thing.

Hi there,
Thank you for your interest but I have passed this point already. Tried a brand new battery I had laying down in the drawer (which was fully charged with an universal charger) and there is no answer to any attempt of turning it on. Via recovery, download or normal boot.

Hello there,
I'm sorry to hear I'm not the only one affected by this bug (lets call it a bug). This shows there is a lack of concern from Samsung on dealing with this issues, and thus we see that old programmed obsolescence.
I will try that later on the weekend, and I come back here with an report.
Cheers

this guide useless for you. how u want flash things with odin if u cant enter download mode at all??
im really sorry for you that this phone is dead. just can give you 1 advice, dont buy samsung in future.
I have been repaired my phone successfully!!!
I just needed to change two capacitors on its motherboard, and that's it.
Here the video where I have found the info and how to do that. It's in Spanish but easy to understand for you I think. But if you need some help, send me a PM.
can you take a picture from the location of the 2 capasitors and the types of it
Hi everyone.
I have some news. It took me a while but I followed CrashOverride93's advice on that video. It actually solved one issue, as I now can turn it on, but now I have a second problem, I'm stuck on a boot loop, with acess to Download mode ONLY. No recovery.
Considering where my issue started, and where I am now, I have tried the following:
- Flashed via Odin stock ROM, kernel;
- flashed Wipe;
- flashed PARAM;
- three button combo.
So far I couldn't get it pass the boot loop. Any thoughts?
Hi all,
I am completely running out of things to try and do now.
After installing Android 7 on my Note 5 I had the strangest issue that i in general have never seen on a phone. The screen is simply black (which isnt that strange) and the phone is fully functional. Bare with me, after reseting it multiple times so it would finally come on the screen goes crazy and turns goes into so many colours (if it turns on that is). Its either that or jumps all around the phone, quite literally it glitches out completely. Its like one of those virus cut scenes you see in movies, it goes different colours, glitches out, jumps around and completely misformats.
From the beginning i knew this was not a broken screen.
So far i have tried.
1. Factory reseting the phone. That gave me about 5 minutes of normal use until i locked the phone and it wouldnt unlock again.
2. Factrory reseting multiple times... again to no avail, it would work for short periods of time and glitch out again.
3. Reflashing stock Android 7 in Odin. - No avail.
4. Flashing Dr.Kretans Rom... worked for 1 day which made me so happy and think that the problem was solved but then the same problem persisted.
5. Installing Arters Kernel.. (arter97-kernel-n920cig-22.0) Nothing... literally did that today and still NOTHING
6. Re partitioning. Quickest process and no avail.
In more detail, if the phone does sucessfully boot, and bare in mind sometimes it takes more than 2 hours to get ANYTHING on the screen (including recovery which doesnt boot up either until the initial apperance of something on the screen)
I tried taking the phone to a phone shop before doing anything myself and since in England this phone was never released theyre refusing to touch it. I tried calling samsung and they dont want to do anything either cause its not a UK variant.
Could someone please tell me anything else i can try. I feel like im totally running out of options here.
My phone details are as follow
Galaxy Note 5
SM-920I Singapore Singtel Variant
Running on 6.01 (i downgraded from Kretan)
And the kernel is the one previously mentioned v.22.0
I would appreciate anyone's help or suggestions so much at this point. All these problems started since the 7.0 update a few weeks back :/
Oh its also running TWRP recovery (arter97-recovery-n920cig-22.0-twrp_3.0.2-0.tar)
