[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 I bought my phone from Bestbuy, but bought my new sim card from Bell store because perhaps the bestbuy sim cards are outdated.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

Hello!... I will tell about my case.
I bought the ZR in august 2013. It was rooted and flashed to 4.2.2. Everything worked fine. Until January 2014.
The first problem was - Silence during calls. I was not able to hear something. And my voice was not heard on the other side. In tests microphone and dynamic worked fine. External dynamic and earphones did not change something - silence during call remained.
After some time (phone was on and off... and again... and battery was removed some times) problem disappeared. But after one day it came back. And disappeared again... and came back... and so on for few times. The other functions all the time worked good. I only was not able to talk during calls.
I flashed the phone to 10.4.1.B.0.101... and to some previous firmwares by Flashtool. But nothing changed.
The next stage after some days was: I turned the phone off. And after turning on it was not been able to see the network. And wifi was not working. I went to settings and saw - IMEI and MAC have disappeared.
I flashed phone to 10.4.1.B.0.101 again. Nothing changed.
And after a little time phone said something like: "the system application stopped" ( I did not remember exactly). And than after rebooting it went into:
"the phone goes up to locked homescreen and then screen goes black and restarts automatically".
I think our cases may have one problem in basis. And I think the problem is in hardware.
I will go to service center. But I think they are not very good in fixing phones here...

Since you say no IMEI then you have to fix that first of you are on warranty unroot play dumb and get a replacement
If not look for the fix

To replace the phone or get money back I should give the phone to official service center in my town. They have 45 days to fix phone. If not - i can get money back. So the phone fixing procedure may be a long time thing. I bought xperia z1 compact. And I have not a lot of time for going to service center. But when it will be done I will write here about the result.
And it's not rooted now of course

Problem was solved. Sony changed some electronic parts of my phone. Now it works good. It was the hardware dysfunction.

Emergency calls only after downgrade SM-N920C

Hi people. I have been using my phone for two months and i had some serious battery problems altough i changed it several times. My battery drains by about 30 percent during the night with no use when wifi,sync etc closed. So yesterday, i downgraded my phone from marshmellow to lollipop hoping that it may work out. After flashing the new firmware, i had this emergency calls only error, and i cant see my imei number when dial *#06#. I checked my imei from settings and it looks ok. I am not back to latest update yet. Does someone have a idea about how to fix it?

SIM Card Not Detected

Hello all,
I have had my unlocked H9493 Bordeaux Red XZ3 for about 6 months and it has worked fine on T-Mobile (Android 9, 52.0.A.3.202). Unfortunately, yesterday it randomly rebooted and after that it would no longer detect the SIM card and there is no wifi signal either; everything else on the phone works just fine. I keep getting the message "No SIM Card - No Service". I have rebooted several times with no luck. If I do leave it off for a while and turn it back on, sometimes I will get service & wifi for a little bit before the error starts all over again. If I leave the phone on with the error, it will reboot itself every few minutes.
I tried a different SIM card in the phone but still got the same issue. I put the original SIM card in another phone & it worked.
I scoured the web & found others having similar issues but none of their fixes worked (like using the *#*#... code and playing with the settings). I should mention that I did drop the phone a few hours before this started to happen but it was not that big a drop and I have a Ringke Fuxion-X case on it. There is no visual damage to the phone but perhaps I knocked the antennas loose ... ?
Before I do a factory reset, does anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you!

No, I gave up & switched to a Pixel 3 XL. Every now & then I turn on the XZ3 to see if it fixed itself & no luck so far.
Hope yours works.

OK for funsies I turned on the XZ3 again after all this time & it is working. Going thru the setup process & so far the SIM or wifi has not disconnected so maybe it fixed itself after all these months?

Maybe dirt in the sim slot?

I have the same issue. Took the phone to repairs and it got better for like 2 weeks and then again the signal began to drop randomly to the point where "sim card is not detected" is written on the screen. When I press on the backplate of the case near the camera (where coax antennae cable is supposed to be) the issue resolves itself for like half an hour and then repeats. The issue is 100% hardware because no firmware (stock, GSI, AOSP, even Sailfish) would affect how SIMs are becoming not detected.

I would let it repair again.
In the SODP team I never heard about the problem, so I assume it must be a rare one.

Getting the phone fixed in service center is not the russian way of nailing it I just sticked a slim piece of plactic onto the back of sim and sd card holder in the sim slot bay to apply pressure on the back of sim card. No issues for a week so far, great and stable signal quality.

Freezes and restart... Died. What is the problem?

Hi guys since yesterday I have problems with my phone
the phone suddenly freezes over without being able to interact.
it restarts on its own but without ever starting the operating system in fact it shuts down and does not turn on again as if the phone had died.
the really strange thing is that the phone was fine Then suddenly he started making this mess.
Yesterday after so many hours of problems I managed to start the phone and now it works well but I am afraid that the situation will repeat itself.
the phone has the bootloader unlocked has root permissions, I followed the guides on this site.
But I have had this phone for two months now and these problems never occurred.
where can i start to understand what the problem is?

Mine suddently become all white, with the interface cut in half and moved up. i could do nothing. nor reboot nor shutdown.
after some minutes it turned back normal. i hope its color os bug and realme will fix it

It appears to be a firmware problem. We hope well.

Today did not give problems. This behavior is really strange, what can I install to understand the root of the problem?

I noticed that if the phone never goes into deep sleep mode the problem does not occur.
Now I am registering the log and as soon as the problem occurs again I go into detail to find out the real reason.
I'm trying to create an automatic script that is launched on the boot that practically never makes the phone sleep.

i'm really desperate the phone started to reboot itself.
I would like to try using a system log recorder but I realized that when I restart the phone these logs are not saved so it is impossible for me to verify the reason.
Can any of you help me out?
the phone freezes and then restarts.

Did you achieve any solution ?

No. I'm disperate.

Why don't you flash stock fw /recovery? Just to make sure it isn't an Hardware problem ?

I try but have this problem

@westenlive
The problem appears only when you use data connection right?
If you try to switch off data and use wifi , you will not notice
The problem is because of the the operator, try another sim provider

Yes, in fact, that could be the problem because a few months ago removing the SIM card the phone did not give more problems
maybe you gave me the solution. I'll try

I am now testing the LINEAGE it happened to me this I removed the SIM card and I installed the costum Rom, I made the various customizations and the phone never locked OR restarted.
I inserted the SIM card in the phone worked perfectly, then having messed up with luckypatcher I had to reinstall the Rom.
So I performed the same procedure with the SIM card inserted in the phone and already at the first start it was unstable with reboots.
Currently I have applied for a change of sim card.
As soon as it arrives I will try to remove the sim card Install from scratch The system is to insert the new SIM card only so I can have the mathematical certainty that it is the SIM card
I hope my experience can help someone

This problem seems true, my X2 Pro also faced same issue when enabling cellular data. The phone sometimes loses the signal or the app freezes and perform a phone reboot. X2 Pro is a mid-range flagship phone, and yet this problem should be solved before they start to sell the phone.

Yes this device has many software problems but hardware problems of this kind are not acceptable.
Practically mine has become unusable, as soon as I turn it on after a few minutes of use it start closing the apps by itself.
Then after AN intende use of 30 minutes it start to restart.
This phone is truly incredible
Next time buy ONE PLUS
