[Q] Samsung Galaxy i9000 freezes on standby

I have had my phone for about 2 weeks now, and this has been an issue since about day 1. I will set my phone aside while doing other things. When I want to use it I pick it up and press the power button to activate the screen. It seems that about 20% of the time the phone is non-responsive. I can't even receive calls/texts/email while it is in this state. I end up pressing the power button for 10 seconds or pulling the battery to get it to reboot. Everything seems to work fine.
I have heard that this could be a result of a reception issue, and that an update would be released in September to solve this issue. Is this information correct? Has the update already been released? I believe I am running the most current version, 2.1 update 1
Is there a software fix? Do I have a defective unit that needs to be sent in for repair? Is there a setting I need to look at? Any assistance would be appreciated.

you are describing the typical scenario of too many background services and apps running taking up too much resources thus making the phone non reponsive
install Auto Run Killer http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8123924&postcount=40
then tick all the apps to disable reboot your phone
then you can choose which apps you really want to let lose for it to run in the background

It's also entirely possible it's faulty though

I don't think it is a matter of apps running because there are no active apps running when I am not using my phone.
I guess I am looking for an answer that tells me that this is an known issue with this model and I wiould be better off with a different product, or if I will be safe to get it replaced/repaired.
Ideally I would love to hear it is only a matter of a software patch or something similar.

there is no point helping some one that have their mind already set on their own ideas already

Well that was a pretty useless post. The only idea my mind is set on is to get my hands on a dependabel phone, preferably the one I have. You suggested too many apps running, fine, but unless they run automatically on reboot and/or the 'active applications' window that runs by default is inacurate, there aren't too many resources being used and nothing running.

you'll be surprised what runs under the hood
you can run this and find out

another good thing to disable is the Media Scan

Don't be so quick to assume your suggestion was correct either, AllGamer:

Thus far nothing in that thread has suggested taxing the system too far. In fact, hardly installing anything at all from a fresh factory reset still has this problem and no one yet has really worked out why aside Samsung saying the hardware is damaged. I was on the phone to them today, same thing said.

i read that before and the signal theory doesn't hold truth
if that is the case, every time i go to the toilet, or to the stairs in my office building (way deep in the building) you have Zero reception at all, yet I've never experience the freeze on black screen issue.
same goes with walmart, it's true, most walmart warehouse like buildings have extremely poor cell phone reception inside.
assuming that signal is the cause issue is true, then installing this app will prevent that

I'll highly recommend this app for anyone experiencing the issue and are under the impression the signal issue is the cause of the frozen black screen

I see no truth in the signal claim I've said why in the other thread. But this is the point, it is an issue a few of us are having from all over the place but as of yet there is absolutely no distinguishable pattern. As I say, a completely fresh phone with official firmware and no installs also has the problems. It's a very frustrating situation because no one can conclusively point to software or hardware yet. Samsung keep saying the same thing, send it in, send it in..

it's true the only way to diagnose those will require to be hands on, and run tests to pin point exactly what is causing that.
Eclair doesn't have the option to auto upgrade, so that's definitely not it
Lag is likely, but what, or which stock apps can cause so much lag?
signal even when the phone is having a hard time switching and scanning for a new signal it shouln't keep the phone unresponsive for such a long period of time unless it's lagging
my Old Treo did that, anytime it lost signal and regained signal there was a minor pause, or a looooooong pause if the phone was lagging
if this is the same case with the SGS we just need to figure out which App is running in the background that is dragging the entire system down.
it could be the internal SD which might have become defective, thus locking up the phone, similar to those people that can't get past the boot screen
i can't think of any other plausible causes at the moment.

Well, I can tell you: having experienced the problem a number of times, it is almost certainly not the lag scenario you have described - this is a proper lock-up. My guess (since it does appear to have some correlation to cell switching, or other signal-related issue) is a bug in the baseband drivers, or something similar, resulting in a panic. I might see if there's any way to get a dump out of this thing to prove it, but at the moment it's just a guess, so I'm not going to tell you that's the definitely the reason, or that you're stupid if you don't agree, even though I'm more qualified to do so, since I've actually experienced the problem.

Android is designed to not need auto task killers. It is purely a myth that they are needed whatsoever. This is linux we're talking about here, not windows.... It's possible he has a single app installed causing the issue, but the ideal fix would be to figure it out one app at a time and get rid of the faulty app.

Phone Got restarting on opening Camera

Hi,
After updating to June Security Patch , I have some problems
First The Camera ,
When I open camera after a few seconds Phone will got restart , it doesnt matter its Nokia Pro camera or Google Camera app
I tested both
and another problem is Sound , when the media volume is high playing in musics or videos sound will be laggy (it will be mute for a bit and playing , and this will repeat)
I tried Factory Reset , anyone else has this problems?

Well now even my speaker is beginning to have problems with high sounds. Dream phone ? I will try to send it on warranty and I will see...

I also have this problem, noticed it after i updated to october security patch, tried reformatting multiple times but to no avail.
In my case not only the camera app force reboots my phone.
Speakers also have the same problem, at a certain volume level the sound breaks /lags.
Hopefully this is just a software problem, my phone doesn't have warranty anymore...

Did you try factory reset? Did it help? I am going to try it cause I need my phone for work and I don't want to be 30 days without phone.

No factory reset did not work, but I noticed that keeping the phone plugged into a charger keeps it from restarting.

Yes I have it same... It can be only problem with battery maybe.

Yeah, best to have the battery checked and replaced, hopefully I can find a service center here in the Philippines

Hi I am from India I am also getting same problem s
1)when I open the camera phone is restarting
2) when I try to play music in his volume it's breaking.
And I done hard reset also still it's not resolved, can you show me way to fix it?

Hello, I brought mine to the service center and they replaced the battery and now its fixed, good thing i was under warranty so it was free of charge

I try to fix it from the care center.
They need to replace the mainboard, battery, and the loudspeaker. South Borneo, Indonesia needs approx 3 weeks for the indent parts. Fortunately, i still have the guarantee. Tomorrow i will give the device to them to fix the problems. Hopefully it works best result.
Just FYI, from my experience.

Yeah, same problem here. Phone restarting on opening camera, and when while watching video with volume above 66%
I've tried factory reset, and even reflash stock room but still doesn't work. Maybe it only happened with android pie? Anyone try downgrade to oreo?

I did every possibilities, did not work.
Downgrade too, manually by my self.
Downgrade by the care center also did not fix it.
Sorry to say it.
Its the hardware, dont know what cause it. Best possible its caused by the update. May the software cause the hardware broken..? ??
HMD, please... R u serious 2 produce a flagship phone?

Same problems here. HMD is crap!
I purchased this device in October 2017 and the problems have just amplified like crazy.
After the April update, random reboots, distorted audio, ultra slow charging.
A lot of money down the drain as this phone has NO RESALE VALUE either.
This is not a flagship. This is a phone made of all the leftover reject cheap hardware materials and hence it sounds good on paper.
The only credibility it has is because of Google and Qualcomm.
Honestly, after 20 months of use, I can say I've never used such a horrible device ever. This phone is pure headache.

what a disappointing phones by Nokia, disaster, disgraceful to users. I think this i s my last Nokia phone (at least last by HMD)

Guess what..?
Ive been waiting for 3 weeks for the repair.
The care center said rhat i must wait for 2 more weeks and then they will tell me the approx time to wait for more.
So,
3 weeks passed,
2 weeks more to wait an info,
Dont know if that after the 5th week the device is ready for use or not.
Wasting much money to buy this one.
I feel sick at once

Nothing like this. HMD is the only one who did this ever.

I too facing this problem for the past 3 weeks or so. Random restarts especially when starting the banners camera. Someimes 2or 3 such episodes. The problem with the sound cracking at high volumes I've been having for 2 months now. The problem increases when the battery guess below 40%. And decreases when it is being charged. ?? A battery issue. Maybe not because otherwise I've a decent battery life.

Phone getting extremely laggy

Good day.
Have anyone experienced same problems with the Huawei P9? My phone is getting more and more laggier, slow, for example, I click on messanger head and it opens after 3 seconds or more, stuttering, camera very slow, google maps is almost unusable sometimes (with downloaded maps), when I type the taps are "registered" a second later, but the whole text is written ... The phone is still under warranty. Did the factory reset and nothing has changed. Antutu scores vary, from 85k-110k (below average), the phone rarely gets hot ...
Did anyone experience this and maybe knows the cause?
Thank you all in advance.
EDIT: EVA-L09 c432B504

Noticed the same on my P9 Plus running the latest CN firmware (B538 - Dec18 Security Patch).
After several months I threw in the towel and went back to B535 (Sept Patch) which is more stable.
I noticed general slowness, as you did, phone restarting if i used the camera at anything under 30% battery, increasingly bad battery life in general (<40% by lunch time vs ~55-60% previously).
Since flashing the older firmware, it's been back to normal again, but it's only been a week, so we'll see how it fares after a month or so.
I'd suggest rolling back to the last 'good' firmware you had, and seeing how you go.

Question Are there people without ramdump?

today i've bought my new zenfone 8, i was leaving a xiaomi mi 10 because of proximity sensor problems and miui instability.
read lots of reviews about zenfone 8 and all were enthusiasts... today after buying it i found a first post about ramdump, since today afternoon i've read lots of posts....
i've seen my phone is 04/21 MFD....
will it die? are there people wich had this phone (04/21 batch) without problems? searching around in forums seems that anyone sooner or later had the problem... so the phone is in the box and i don't know if i will return it or keep it... give me a little trust in this phone

Do you like to play Russian Roulette?
If you open the box you will have to.
I have phone of same batch 04/2021 and had ramdump once. But I easilly quit it with keys combo. I do not know why it works for some but not for others.

so there are people who never had problems?
cause i could see 30 people having problems, but i'd like to know if are 30 people on 50 or 30 people on 1000, it would be a big difference

Mine is mfd 04/2021 and I still have no problems
There is 35 confirmed cases of this issue and it might not be the same issue as Ramdump is just something zenfone 8 falls back to when there is a problem with the phone. Who knows how many (tens of thousands) people are there without any issues.
I would say relax and enjoy your phone. Don't unlock the bootloader so you don't lose the warranty, but other than that just use it normally.

I just checked and I also have MFD 04.2021. I never had any problems (not that I am aware of) so I never bothered to check before. Does the problem only happen on certain devices? I have the basic version with 8 GB RAM and 128 GB ROM. Happy customer so far.
EDIT: I am running stock firmware, if that matters. Haven't altered anything (yet).

Used it for more than 4 months without problems (bootloader unlocked).
With Lineage 18.1, it worked great for a day, maybe even less. Now I get at least a couple ramdumps every day.

How do one check MFD?

The problem in the official forum is a "one time" thing, if you get the "waiting for flashing full ramdump", its bricked and you can't do a thing, beside sending it in.

On my brand new ZenPhone 8 running Lineage for Microg 8.1 October 7th version I'm getting the ramdump screen, but only under specific circumstances:
1. not connected to wifi/wifi off
2. on a call
3. have headphones plugged in to the jack
it almost always crashes within 20 seconds. If any of those conditions are not met it works fine (or at least appears to so far). I've tested this ~8 times in a row with all other (known) variables remaining constant.
When it crashes, pressing power for ~15 seconds shuts it down, and it can then be started normally. I hope this helps anyone else e countering the same problem.

Someone had this ramdump issue on unlocked bl but on stock rom? Especially with at least some magisk mods?

Yes! My first time with this issue. Never before.
I'm on the lastest Android 12 stock rom (UL-ASUS_I006D-ASUS-31.1010.0410.72-1.1.25-2204-user).
- Unlocked BL
- Rooted with Magisk 23
- Kirisakura_Sake_S_2.0.1 flashed with EXKM
- Only one Magisk module (Font_Manager-v5_6_4-117)
I was playing a game (Zombie Tsunami ). I got my screen freezing, ... dark screen and ramdump issue.
Edit: My MFD is 05.2021

I have too MF 4.2021 - using since 5-2021. I'm very happy with this phone. For all this time I'v got only landscape bug on video - fixed with OTA update.
I'm using stock soft - Android 12 31.1010.0410.72

M21 says it is up-to-date when it isn't

Hello,
My M21 says it is up-to-date, but it isn't and I can't figure out why. I've even gone so far as to do a full factory reset, and still it won't update. The factory reset was the last option I knew.
Alot of google-searches resulted in the feeling that this is an isolated case.
Samsung Switch on PC also says the phone is up to date.
All my colleagues (it is a company phone) have the same model, and they have all received the updates long ago.
I've added screenshots of the software-information it is showing.
If anyone knows a solution to this, please let me know.
Thanks for any replies or clues anybody might give.

Lol, if I was you I would disable OTA updates!
If the OS is fast, stable and fulfilling its mission... let it be! Upgrades can and do break things.
No rollback from 11 as it upgrades the bootloader version too. Let that soak in; it's a one way ticket once punched Mr Wick... consequences.
Android 9/10 best, Android 11* so-so, Android 12* is a mess... in my opinion.
With Pie and higher you are protected from the worst rootkits. Unless you do something stupid security and malware won't be an issue.
*do you really want cpu cycle sucking scoped storage fully active? Some apps like the old free version of WPS Office will most likely not load.

I was actually hoping that the update would fix some of the inconveniences I've noticed since I started using it.
Things like:
Random restarts while the phone is doing nothing, needing me to enter the PIN for both SIM's. Like in the middle of the night. The alarm still goes off in the morning, however it goes of at max volume... Or in the middle of a run (i use the phone for sports tracking), causing me to lose the workout data.
Random disconnects from bluetooth devices
Sometimes slowdowns for no apparant reason
Incredibly slow camera
This is a company phone, and before this I had a personal Nokia 8.1. Transitioning to the M21 just feels like a step back. It's slower and has more buggy behavior. I was hoping the updates would fix it, because rooting is against company policy.
And this is apart from the security updates that haven't come through since october 2020, while all colleagues with the same phone did get those updates.
And I'm also just curious why this one says it has the most recent updates, while it clearly doesn't. Whether I choose to install those updates is another matter. It just doesn't give me the choise.

That's not a stable load. I don't blame you for wanting to ditch it if that's the best it can do.
I never get random reboots or the rare crashes I see seldom require a reboot.
Make sure global power management is disable and that a 3rd party app isn't the cause.
It's possible that the firmware is corrupted; a reflash to the same rom might be a safer option.
Or you could try flashing the next OS version up... avoid 12 though. Lots of reported issues across the board with it, and lots of people doing rollbacks to ditch it.
This will probably get time intensive.
