surprised it took this long, had counted myself one of the lucky ones.... even though i was one of the unfortunate saps whose phone came with the three button recovery disabled, (a two week trip to samsung for repair).... was running darky's rom 9.3 and various eaarlier versions since october with no problems... today google voice started force closing so i tried to reboot the phone and it would not boot up again... i went into recovery and tried a wipe, still no go.... then i tried to reinstall the rom, still no go.... when it is booting up it just keeps looping the loading screen and vibrates once, then pause, then three times... i can get into recovery and download mode.
anywhose my questions are this,
A) best way to determine that the SD is in fact bricked.....
B) best way to get a bricked SD card back to stock so i can send it back to samsung for warranty.
C) if i get it back fixed from samsung, should i try to off this piece of Sh*t phone that has given me, and others soooooo many problems. that is to say, has anyone who has had their phone fixed recently had their new SD card go corrupt again??
P.S. never buying anything samsung ever again, PERIOD!!, had a 30 inch monitor of theirs recently go bad as well, like i dont care if they cure cancer, bring peace to the middle east, and resurrect jesus!!! i still wouldnt buy a rememberance day poppy from them!!!!!!!
Sounds similar to mine when it bricked. The best solution is to use Odin and flash jl2 onto it and send it in for repair.
They were doing a replacement and compensation program through bell for a while but I think that's over now.
On the plus side, since my repair in December the phone has been amazing. No problems flashing different roms many times. The phone has been better than I expected! The number of phones dying from this issue have dropped significantly since the new year.

is there a link you have to flashing this frimware with odin? never used it before....
hope the replacement and compensation is still going on, kinda pissed that bell didnt call me about it...
tried flashing JL2 with odin, when i have odin open and my phone in download mode, and i plug the phone in, windows does not recognize my device and thus does not install drivers for it and thus im pooched.... ergo vis a vis help please
i know im just talking to myself but just in case anyone wants to know, installed kies to get usb working, flashed JL2, gonna take phone in for repair now (2nd time) awesome!!!
Sorry it took me a while to reply. Forgot to check this thread. There are a bunch of threads about dealing with it. If you get a hard time there's a thread you can search for about filing a complaint to the ccts. That would get you the replacement and comp I think. Good luck!

hey all,
i got my galaxy note now 3 weeks ands it's rebooting random all the time. at a service point i let them do a factory reset but that did not work. does anybody know a solution for this problem? because i dont like to send my note cause i will not have a few days sow if anyone got a solution i like to try it.

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
I am new to Android world. So please handle with care
I used to use an iPhone. Recently (bout 3 weeks ago) I bought a galaxy note and am loving it.
I was going through a lot about Android system and found out 'rooting a phone'.
so I rooted the note and installed Rocket rom v22, GoLauncher Ex and few apps like Setcpu, Adfree, Bank, Xchange etc. I don't have games or many apps on my phone.
My phone turns itself off randomly every now and then. during phone conversation it rebooted itself once so far. and when my phone is stand-by, I found my phone is turned off.
I am not sure why it's happening. Is there any settings i shouldn't set?? or ???
Could anyone please tell me how to fix this issue?
If the phone is faulty, I need to make my phone as the same as when I first got which I am not sure how to :-( yet
The first thing to do is go completely stock. Flash the lastest stock rom and see if that fixes the problem.
When using ICS ROMs there's a known bug called Sleep of Death (SOD) that is similar to what you're experiencing. The phone simply won't turn on the screen and you have to press the power button for several seconds to turn it on again.
Almost all GNote users experience this issue so don't worry about it. Going back to stock will not solve the problem.
Hi
Thanks for the reply.
Before the rom v22, I had v19. my phone still did turn itself off several times. after flash the room v22, it didn't happen as many as v19 so I am not sure that the ICS causes the issue.
anyway, I will try the one you suggested and see how I go.
Thank you

I am more worried about the alarm. if the phone turns itself off while i am in sleep, i won't be able to hear the alarm going off.
well if that happens again, i might have to get a alarm clock.
i was thinking of setcpu app might cause the issue... not sure though.
Thanks for your help
I experience the same issue when i was running stock. I've tried several stock versions but the problem still exists.

I have definitely never ever experience SOD when the phone is stock and lock.
The only time i did experience SOD is when i change to modded kernel.
I'm running stock with cf root and have never ever experienced this, so not all notes are affected. That would really suck!

Never had Sleep of Death on stock rom.
I am on stock ICS Rom n it has happenedwith me twice.
My GNote goes dead randomly and only starts up after pulling out battery.
Weird!
Install an ICS from Clean
Start from a Stock ICS rom using PC Odin, then follow my Post as follow :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26772618&postcount=12
Try another rom other than that you had, or a higher versionof it.
The MIDTEAM v1.4.2 is Good and Stable.
Good Luck
I had this problem most of ICS ROMs on my Galaxy Note. SO I guess it's an ICS related bug and it is very uncomfortable to have to reset it to unlock it .
I too have tried several Stock ROMs but it still gets into the Sleep of Death at least once a day.
I guess that it should help to have a Kernel that changes the Deep Sleep settings...
Of my 2 GNotes, one of them had this problem. Happens when you put the note on the table with small drop or whatsoever.
The problem disappeared when inserted 3-fold 80g paper between battery and the edge of battery compartment. The battery tolerance is not so tight so when small drop (like putting on the windowsill) happens, the phone shut down.
The problem completely disappeared after inserting paper.
Of course, more professional would be go to Samsung repairs and show it and ask for replacement - either battery or phone internal casing. You can reproduce the problem by turning the screen on and dropping phone 10cm into hard surface.
But I did not bother.
I won't say that yours has exactly the same problem. But check the tolerances of battery 1st. Sometimes solutions are too obvious to see 'em.
I upgraded from stock to CM9 3 days ago and my Note has turned off several times a day since then. Never before upgrade, so I don't think it has to do with battery being loose in its compartment - not in my case.
I am loving ICS, but I will have to downgrade to gingerbread to get rid of this irritating bug.
this is happening to my galaxy nexus!!! yeah it turns off at random like sleep of death and small drops can trigger it. if i knew this could happen i would have never rooted
lol root itself has nothing to do with it.
if small drops cause it, and paper adding in compartment fixes it. its the gap between battery and whatever should fixate it.
if it occurs during deep sleep, dig into logs what you can find there. Also check roms/kernels feedback if others have it with that version. Many ways to illiminate possibilities.
I miss some good analyzes in this is issue from those experiencing stuff. Android I guess is not user friendly that way.

Galaxy Note Sleep of Death on 4.1.2 JB
I'm still trying to figure this out... I had hoped that with Samsung Stock upgrade to 4.1.2 it would be fixed but its not... anybody still experiencing this problem?
Things that I have tried
Move all apps from Internal SD Card (USB) and format
Factory Reset
Paper wedge between battery
Opened and re-connected all connectors to Motherboard
Install CPUSpy (deep sleep is OK)
I'm at wits end now, and this problem is very apparent. I havn't wanted to flash to a custom rom, because I've seen reported that it still happens with whatever ROM whether stock or custom
Any more ideas on how to make the Sleep of Death go away?

Please, any ideas?
Hi,
I bought an Xperia TX about three weeks ago. Since then the phone has gone into the sleep of death state four times! I've read all the discussions regarding the same problem in other phones such as Xperia T, V and Z, and applied suggested fixes such as turning the WiFi off when not using the phone. But, alas, none of the suggestions has prevented the problem. On the other hands, I should be happy because there are some people with Xperia V whose phone hangs four times a day!! I am very surprised because apparently this problem occurs for Sony Xperia models more often than for other brands. I hope the problem to be a software related one and to be solved by an update fix, though some Xperia T owners who have updated to JB still face different problems. Please let me know if you too own an Xperia TX and have faced this annoying problem.
Many Thanks
Actualy you are the second owner of tx to Face SOD dont expect much replays here

I had 3.212 when I bought the phone. The phone is being updated to JB right now and I wish the problem would be fixed by this update.
i got my TX a couple of day back and root/flash to FXP213 now. I have tried FXP208 to 213 and this SoD occur in all version of ROM.
i;m trying to get the log for the ROM guy to take a look. I've trie dth wifi off too but still SoD. I notice if i left the phone in sleep mode for over 2 or mayb3 hours, the phone will juz sleep to death.
Actually i have been getting SOD since a couple of weeks on my TX. It happened when the phone is charged overnight.
Another thing i noticed is that each time i reboot the phone after the SOD, it says my my SD card is unrecognized and if i want to format it.
I just took out the SD card for the time being thinking it was causing the SOD.3 days since i removed it and no SOD yet. Any ideas?

Hi,
One of the guesses about the causes of the SoD problem is in fact SD cards. However, there are reports about having the problem even after taking out the SD card.
Have you updated your firmware to JB? Since I updated mine 5 days ago, I haven't faced SoD (touching wood!).
So, I recommend you to upgrade youlr phone if you haven't done so.
By the way, I vaugely remember that those who complained about the SD card cusing this problem, recommended to use SD cards of classes 2 or 4 (and not higher classes).

I have been having a similar issue with my TL ever since I upgraded to Jelly Bean about a month ago. For the first two weeks everything worked great and I loved the new update, but now seemingly out of nowhere my phone is starting to act up. At seemingly random times my phone will either freeze or hang or just generally not respond, the navigation buttons disappear and holding down the power button will not let me shut the phone down. The first few times it happened a message would pop up telling me that some process or app is not responding and I have the option to either wait or force close it. Normally I just tap "Ok," and then a slew of messages pop up, basically every process and app crashes simultaneously, forcing me to restart by holding down Vol up and Power. When it powers back on everything works fine again, but sometimes it will do this as much as 4 times a day. It doesn't seem to matter what I am doing at the time or what apps I have open. Sometimes I will go to unlock my phone and it will be stuck on the lock screen (I can lock and unlock the phone fine but no navigation buttons are visible and I can't tap on anything). It seems like now it will just say "Xperia Home is not responding" and I am again forced to restart.
Not sure if this is what you mean by SOD, but it is quite frustrating seeing as everything worked flawlessly about two weeks post updating.

Yes am updated to JB and rooted.
Since i removed the class 10 SD card, No SODs....not even once.
Only thing is that sometimes, when unplugging the charger, the phone does not get the event right away and charging light stays on. After a couple of minutes it goes back to normal.
At least no SODs....

No, like I said I have never tried modding or rooting my phone. I am on stock JB firmware from whenever I updated my phone a few weeks ago. ICS never had any issues like this, JB never had any issues until two week into the update. I'm just confused as to what happens to make these issues occur, I mean, everything was working fine and then for no reason something is causing my apps to crash and my phone to freeze? Doesn't make sense to me...
Hello giuys
Here I am again, getting every day more and more dissapointed in this phone
Two weeks ago (or when the update was released) I updated to 32.2.A.0.224 hoping to get a better batterylife because previous build was giving me 2h SoT and a lot of bugs like random reboots and overheat all the time
I downloaded an algerian version from XPerifirm (one of the first to was released) and everything was fine (actually there was no much improvement of wich I was looking for, but it was a little better) but one day I can't connect to home wifi, cheking some things neither bluethoot, I had to reboot several times to make it work. Last weekend I downloaded another version from xperifirm (an SA version) and flashed again w/o problem, but the issue persist (started today), actually is worst because today I can't connect at all nor wifi or bluethoot .... I tried Hotspot but can't turn it on too... The screenshots below shows what happens when try to turn on wifi, bt and hotspot
Any ideas how to fix this? I was thinking on simply root and get a custom rom, but almost every custom rom is rooted and there are some games I play a lot and can't be played with root (and root cloack and every tool doesn't work), so is not an option, I'm so frustrated with this phone, hope one of u guys can help me
thanks in advance
I guess you got the wrong modem on that rom, may be you wasn't supposed to flash it.
So, you are frustated with this phone because you flashed a version that was not supposed to be installed on your phone? You mixed up your phone, not the phone itself. You are complaining about SOT and overheating without mentioning how you use your phone. Well, i guess, if you can flass another version rom in your phone, i think you have done more than this..!
Anyway, i hope someone expert can help you. But you have to admit that maybe it is your fault and not accuse the phone
It just was an expression, but as a note, the phone is unusable since the beginning, every update mess one more thing, is the crapiest phone I ever had xD, two months later I bought a real flagship phone, but need this phone working for a not advanced user (that doesn't know or have the time to flash and install all apps over and over again), and every rom installed brings problems that make the phone useless as your post[\s], sometimes battery of 5h in standby, sometimes overheat all the time, sometimes random reboots...
Also genius, actually this phone came with the first customization I flashed, but if u didn't know, all customizations are the same, just came with some apps and market restrictions (plus carrier apps/ settings in carrier specifics) so there's no "version that was not supposed to be installed in your phone" (u can even flash between variants in the same model as long as is a single-sim variant), go home and learn something before u comment so useless things, I understand why there are so low population lately in xda, remember when ppl actually came to help QQ
Anyways, this issue was there since before in some devices (Z3+ obviously) in old updates, I was trying to get some info with that ppl to see if there's a way to solve it, but due limitations at not rooted phones I think there's no way...
Another thing, in the second last update, there's a thread about some issues bootloader/security-related if u updated via OTA, there's a problem if I try to flash am older version after that OTA was installed? because I think the phone was a little more stable before that

Hi, I recently bought this phone and found out the cell reception has some issue and due to that phone keeps on searching network and draining my battery.
I didn't start cursing sony or this phone because I knew there is some issue with the radio and it needs to be replaced and I went to service center and they told me that motherboard needs to be changed.
It's been 1 week still I am waiting but with the new motherboard I think things will be fine.
So why don't you visit sony service center and try to fix things instead of blaming them.

Don't misunderstand me, I love Sony phones and used it since W300-SE years, this phone have issues, sad is, service center actually doesn't give service if u don't buy the phone with the carrier they are (it seems the carrier pay to have service of almost all brands), and they sell phones (specially flagships) overpriced (like 150usd more) so I don't buy with them, neither use that carrier, so is a little hard
