Hi all,
Hopefully someone can help me out with this issue I've been having with my Galaxy S3 Neo.
Some time ago my phone started to randomly crash internal android services and processes. It kept working after reboots until up to a point. The things that didn't work properly were Music apps, phone and (so I figured) all apps that somehow are connected to audio. A factory reset did not fix my issue.
I brought my phone to a local repair shop and they fixed it with some sort of factory reset, which they told me was done over reinstall by PC.
It worked for a few months and I had no problems at all.
Now, since a few days, my phone starts acting up again.
I don't get the crash reports like I used to get, but it's 'dying' nonetheless.
It started with the Facebook app not working anymore, it kept 'looping' the 'setting up facebook'-message and crashing the locations process, so I deleted the app.
That helped for a bit.
Now:
- I can't call anymore, it hangs.
- I can't listen to music, it hangs.
Again, any sound/audio related apps make my phone crash or hang.
The Music app, I can start it up, press play and it just doesn't respond. It says it's playing, but the counter remains on 0:00.
The weird thing is, that when I hook my phone up to my Bluetooth car stereo, it plays music fine.
It seems that whenever the phone is trying to connect to the speaker, it has issues...
A factory reset through settings didn't fix it, and neither did a hard reset in recovery mode..
Help is required!!! Please!!!!
I tried CWM, wiping everything, put CM12 on it, but no luck. Could it be that the speaker(s) is (are) dead and Android can't work properly when that happens?

If I boot my phone up, go to the home screen, my phone will get the little soft popup s aying "Auto Update of Time/Date" and then everything pauses, and the phone "soft" reboots itself. Meaning it doesnt do a full reboot, but it comes back searching for a network, performing the media scan, etc.
I did a factory reset to get rid of this, and now it's back again. It's MAD annoying. Anyone else having this issue?
Yep I noticed the same thing with mine. I thought it was normal but I'm beginning to think otherwise. I'm getting some connecting to dm server thing as well.
Sucks, the phone's awesome but if it keeps doing this then it won't even matter.
One thing I noticed is if I let the phone sit, and load up it's usually okay. If I try to go into the phone settings while it's booting up, thats when I'll see the auto update note and bam, restart. It'll keep doing this until I either leave it alone or pull the battery.
Good to hear it's not something im doing.
deng this just started happening to me like 5 minutes ago
its getting a bit of annoyed
my phone was rooted and then i unrooted it and it still has the same problem
Do you folks have any Task-kill app running in the background?
I had the same issue as well when I had a Task Killer app running in the background. It seems the app is killing some service that is causing soft reset. I turned off the auto mode last week and this hasn't happened since then.
Hope this helps..
fix
if u download any gameloft games thats your problem my phone was doing that then i took the games from gameloft off and now it works great hope that helps
Certain apps can cause it, I also had a gameloft game cause it. If you need to get access to uninstall apps the phone should boot fine without a sim in it.

I am having the same problem, The phone keeps doing a soft reset. I noticed this happening after I tried to download a song from an app I installed on my phone. I deleted the app, and the problem still exists, it is REALLY ANNOYING
My epic is on the stock rom, just rooted. I have made no changes to the phone and the only recent changes were installing winamp and the market update. All of sudden the media scanner, at startup, never finishes and hangs until I force close it. My apps won't update, they download but hang at installing and after several reboots there is no change. The phone randomly makes the sound of lost signal twice in a row as if it looses signal and then finds it again right away even though I have full bars and this has never happened before. Also, CacheMate hangs until i force close it when I tried to clean out the cache to see if that would fix the market issue I was having. So out of nowhere, the market issue (apps not updating), media scanner hanging, and apps not working. Im just hoping that either someone knows what this could possibly be cause from or if im just going to have to hard reset my phone. I do have a backup from clockwork, but unfortunately it is quite old and I might as well just reset everything if it comes down to that. Thanks for the help.
I've had my S4 for about a week now and only put music on it a couple of days ago (I had been waiting to get a micro SD card). It's a Fido SGH-I337M, 16 GB. I rooted it using Motochopper. There's a strange thing that keeps happening every time I pause an MP3. After pausing, when I try to unlock the phone from the lockscreen, it freezes up and crashes (happens every time). Sometimes it ends up rebooting.
Now, this only happens with MP3s. It does not happen with FLAC files. I've searched high and low on google for other instances of this and have found nothing. It seems like it's a software bug but I tried restoring to factory settings and it continued to freeze up. I tried unrooting it and had the same result. The crashes happen whether the MP3 is on the phone storage or on the SD card. It's not due to any of my downloaded apps, because after doing a factory reset I was able to recreate the MP3 crash before doing anything else to the phone.
Anyone know anything about this or can offer suggestions to try fix this? I'd like to try to resolve this before I take it in to get it exchanged.
Hello,
I'm experiencing some weird problems on my Nexus 6P.
Everything was fine until like a month ago, when I tried switching to F2FS. I didn't notice any improvement and so I reverted to EXT4.
That is when the phone began randomly rebooting itself, often freezing while I was listening to music. (I have a huge music collection, like 15 to 18 GB, but I've never had this problem on any other phone)
At first I thought it was caused by maybe one of the music files being corrupted and forcing reboots, but I have the same music files on another, older phone and they work flawlessly.
Moreover the phone seems to be randomly rebooting after I listen to music, not always while I'm doing it, and even with streaming services.
What's worse is that it doesn't always reboot properly and most times gets stuck at the Google logo, then reboots again and so on. Bootloop.
I can always access recovery though, and re-flashing the rom (I'm on the latest PureNexus) seems to temporarily fix it.
Do you think I can fix this? If so, how? I'm afraid this may be a hardware issue :/
After this last weekend, I've noticed that Bluetooth no longer works. Specifically, it is off, and when I tap to turn it on from any menu, it grays out and never turns on. I've tried rebooting several times, turning airplane mode on and off, clearing the cache and data from the Bluetooth app and force stopping it, and even booting into safe mode where it still does the same thing. As of last week Bluetooth was working fine and I used it daily for audio streaming and syncing with my smartwatch.
This issue coincides with a software update a few days ago (G950U1UEU1AQH3). I wonder if it has anything to do with that.
I want to avoid a factory reset if at all possible.
my bluetooth works fine after upgrading to AQH3, probably a bad update, im afraid outside of a factory reset not sure how else you can fix it.
Got a fix - I went to "Reset" in Settings and reset all network information. It reset wifi as well, but right after I did that Bluetooth started working. No idea what happened, but at least I avoided a factory reset...
