well if you are unrooted have u tried to take it back to sprint?....sounds like u could be in line for a replacsment......

the problem you are having is common as far s I know. it is not necessarily related to a phone problem.
It has been happening to me for a very long time and have actually replaced my phone twice because of it and the problem persists. I have found it is because of a low amount of ram. If you have a lot, or even a few programs that are running in the background It will happen more often. I discovered this because I have a program Tasker installed on my phone that kept notifying me I had low memory and soon after my phone would reboot itself. Web browsing, youtube, games.
since I have discovered this I have deleted some of the programs that were not necessary. Lookout was a huge ram hog. if you have a lot of widgets running the likely hood of your phone rebooting is more likely.
You can check your running services by going to Menu - Settings - Applications - Running Services.
There you can see what is non essential and therefore delete, or just live with the rebooting.
I have deleted some of the programs and the frequency of the rebooting is far less.
Hope the info helps.

Hi everyone, please people don't mess with our friend, his english is very good, and understandable, by the way are we allowed to type the "damn" word?, dain, it is very smug to correct someone else when he just express very well, besides someone with his problem we should get his feeling.
BTW Exactly just check how many apps you just dont need and uninstall them.

[Q] WIFI Unable to connect....

This just happened about 24 hours ago to me. i noticed it says "unable to start wifi" also i think that affected my wireless tether.
My phone has the simple root done to it. I have Astro File Manager, ROM Manager, and like i said before i did the simple root with Unrevoked3. i am a mac user, i dont know if this second paragraph of information helps.
What should i do? should i just wait for the update to 2.2 that is supposed to be updated to my phone sometime soon? i tried restoring from an old backup and also tried to do a full system clean as well but still same thing. I am a newbie to this but i feel as though i have somewhat of a grasp on this.
Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated
You guys sure keep the mods busy around here.

that suggestion didnt help
I feel your pain, most responses around here aren't helpful... just negative... you'd think that if someone took the time to reply they'd just share... typical forum behavior though.
I can’t seem to find a clear answer on this… some say it works, others say it’s broke.
*watching in hopes someone can help*
yeah i am just hoping i get the 2.2 update soon and it fixes it. so i am guess i am gonna have to wait until then and then take it from there. unless someone has some ground breaking suggestion. cause, i've been looking around and it seems like this is a problem thats been occurring as of recently.

I have sky raider 2.5.2 and my wifi keeps trying to connect then obtain ip address then disconnects and keeps trying all over again why please?
so since nobody gave me any good feedback i decided to take on the task like a blank canvas.
Step 1: Reinstalled original Kernel
step 2: Full Data/Cache Wipe
step 3: reuploaded all of my data from last backup...
it appears everything is working fine.WIFI works great!!! I need to double check wifi tethering though. if anyone is interested i can repost if tethering is working.

[Q] my Epic process problem

along with the android.process.acore issue im getting a slew of other errors. cant make any calls, cant load any contacts or messages. Im on SFR 2.1 everything was working fine earlier today, I cant think of anything I did to cause this. Im super stressed, iv searched around, people say to re-flash the phone... that makes me nervous.. what should i do? any help is much appreciated.
Sounds like data corruption. Are you journaled? Did you have an abrupt power off of the phone?

If you have a recent nandroid backup, restore it from cwm. If not, you will need to reflash the rom.

no im not journaling at all, the phone has been on all day untill I recived the errors. I tried to restore my phone using CWM and now I can get to my contacts but im still having gapps crash n stuff. idk what to do, i wana go back to stock and take this damn phone to the sprint store.

I doubt it's a hardware issue, sounds like data corruption potentially caused by lack of journaling an unstable undervolt/overclock or a combination of the two. Reflash your ROM of choice, and turn on journaling (if it's not already). It's a slight performance hit, but well worth it. Honestly the only time you'd even notice a difference is during a benchmark, these phones are plenty fast enough.
so I just re-flashed my phone... all my wonderful apps are gone.. all those high scores..everything. Im so sick of this phone.

It's your own fault. At least learn from it, utilize apps like titanium backup to backup apps and settings, make weekly NAND backups and enable journaling so it is unlikely to happen again.
I just had that happened to me about two hrs ago an don't know waht to do. It seem like my epic won't read my sd card and titanium back up and all my other apps are in there! I lost my google, facebook, clock, and almost everything force closes!!! Any help out there???

Bad flashing can happen on any phone. You would have had the same problem with journaling off on any phone. You can return this phone and still flash yourself into force close hell on a different phone. You aren't using Android right, it's not the Epic.

No idea what he did, but why not just try a factory reset?
Find out what the phone is and you can post in the right form of forum for the best help. You're not likely going to do well here.

Thanks for the link I found a post there with information and I fixed it no problem

koodo Samsung Galaxy SIII (SGH-I747M) going nuts help

Ok so everyone says this is a great phone, but at the moment I really miss my S2 International
My S3 is constantly freezing up, toggling wifi, just all around slow. Like I can go make a pot of coffee half the time while im waiting for an app to load.
Some info on what im using. Phone was koodo and is now unlocked and running on fido. I got phone second hand and when booted into recovery it shows dead droid (phone is not rooted or anything to my knowledge, verified with root checker) my main apps of use are chrome youtube tasker utter bbm and facebook. So I am very frustrated as my S2 seems to have been twice the phone this is. Please help me fix this as it cant be right!
I suggest flashing a stock rooted ROM rather than trying to fix the existing ROM.

I live in a remote area and dont currently drive. And most people nowadays are quite skeptical of you downloading programs etc. On their computer. So I do know a couple of people with computers, but either will not let me install odin or I cant get there. been keeping eye out for one on kijiji and other classifieds. Mainly as I use many things like tasker etc that would work alot better with root, busy box, Xposed framework etc.

[Q] Nitro HD think I broke my data

Ok so first off, been using XDA for a while now to root various things, you guys have always got me what I need to get things figured out on my own, I have never before this day had to request help and for that, you guys are legendary.
Now I am semi newbi here, I know whats what for the most part but I have a hard time holding information in my short term memory so I am sorry if I miss little things
On to the problem!
So I got an AT&T LG Nitro HD P930, on ebay, I then spent the better part of a day rooting it, took me a lot of work but I eventually got it rooted and all that jazz, everything was going great... but everything changed when the fire nation... wait no... when I put CM9 on it, that crashed quite often, so I put on CM11 to check that out, no Data, so I rolled back one to CM10.2, and still no Data.
Could I have missed something?
Edit:
I thought at one point the ImeI might have gotten pushed out, but I double checked that and it is there, I have noticed at times I look at the service and it says I have 4 bars and an E next to it like back in the 2G days, but rarely and I have not had it stay long enough to test the data but if I get the chance I will edit and leave what happened here.
Also to note, I do still get random crashes but I can live with that.
P.S.S. XDA Devs are the shiznit, thank you guys for many years of amazing rom's and HP Touchpad support, my tablet is nothing without you guys!
Potential fix
Ok so admitadly I may have jumped the gun on not finding anything via the search function, I did find something digging around that might help me out. just incase anyone else checks this thread due to the same issue I will post back here if it worked, I found the fix on this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2521525
Posted by Kaos420 about half way down.
Now to test it!
Issues "Unbricking"
So my second go around seems to be having trouble taking off, I cant seem to get the V10F to flash to my device following http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1597488 exactly as it is. always just reboots into my old OS. Any advice?
Edit: Noticed I forgot to rename V10F correctly and tried again, seems to be running smoother, feel like a total noob...

I had read something about that and had a backup of my APN but it turns out you cant flash APN data after 4.0+ or some such nonsense.
In the end I managed to get the root to take hold after restoring it from unbrick up, now I have CM9 on it and it is working just shiny. so this thread can be deleted or closed or whatnot.
If anyone would like a step by step on what I did I would be glad to post it but I doubt anyone is interested.
Good thing you got it working. And CM9 was so nice and stable for the Nitro. I often think of reverting back to it just for its reliability.

Its been a while since I did it but I will see if I cant gather all the resources I used, but in the end what I had to do was re-brick it, reverted back to stock everything to recover and re-rooted it all again, then I just skipped CM11 and went back to CM10. Now I am in a whole new **** storm haha but thats a story for another time.
