Problems on a Samsung Galaxy S? But if it’s a blast!. No doubt, I love mine, but we must speak of the many problems that are unfortunately quite a few users, and between myself included.
In my case I have a love-hate relationship with my Galaxy, how much more I need you putea, and when I leave it be, is back in full swing, which Phoenix. These problems are speaking name, and from here we want tell you, if together we can find an explanation for the mysterious, if you want to share your similar experiences with any of the ‘normal’, or if you find solution to other less harmful in these lines. Here it should be everything, but always and in any case, from the healthy debate.
Many think you can ” be a thing of the ROM”, but affects many users each with one of his father and mother, with Froyo without Froyo, Movistar, free, JM2, JP3 is not really clear … now we on the topic of firmware.
After the jump you count problems and possible explanations. But first, remember: I love this phone and highly recommend it, but Politeness does not brave. I can only hope that you find (or find) solution (these last days a glimmer of hope has come to our hearts).
Early signs: automatic restarts
It seems to follow a temporal pattern continues. I went to the 10-12 days of release, and what I have read and heard in that time frame is when it occurs in most cases. Of course when the first is the most common. At first it is an isolated problem and no attention, you tend to think there will be pressured in any way whatever. Then it starts to happen more often, even while you’re in bed and the phone is in your hands and you begin to think more about it. In my case, I had spent 3 or 4 times with the Hero so at first I said, it will be something soon, but then increased. Of course, three weeks ago that does not happen.
It starts to get worse: loss of connection
In this case, loss of coverage includes both the telephone line itself as inability to connect via 3G/HSDPA. In my case it is more the latter than the former, but we initially with the crashes. Suddenly, and without rhyme, in a place where you usually have coverage, you lose, it remains out of service and asks for the PIN ( to me this has happened to me, but there are many cases in the net), again and again. What the 3G is gradual, at first you can not connect because it does not jump or even the icon in the notification bar (to me even happens to me sometimes wireless), which in this mode if you think it will “blame” for the Movistar ROM I do not know exactly why but I see no cases outside their jurisdiction, then it does and get the icon but do not have coverage, or upload data or download (interestingly this began to spend the majority well into August, had what time would the terminal), and happens to all companies. In the beginning is somewhat anecdotal, then spend 1 in every 20 times, and now I promise you that it’s the opposite, ie 19 of 20. Very serious this for my taste.
Global Warming Alert
This is what really makes me think (and hope not) it may be that some problems are irrevocably a thing of the hardware. The battery overheats sometimes. Almost always has to do with the use of GPS or 3G. The problem is that sometimes it cools down or disconnected until after hours. Of course, the battery lasts long for the days that happens, but they are isolated cases. What I do think it is more particular (I have seen a case or two of the only mine) is that when you go in the car (a journey of more than half an hour) with GPS (if you have the great good fortune to work ) and 3G (Navigation, Waze …) I can literally fry eggs on it when I leave the car. Until it cools (more time than usual) works really bad, then it seems to draw strength from this, and it works as I had never worked.
The appearance: Kernel Panic
Here is a moment that you fear for your life. His appearance is random, it happens more than once (at most two) but can happen at any time. Some will think it no big deal, but it is only the expression that springs up without notice and are afraid to display. alicante_charli user capture of HTCMania.
Possible explanations
Each problem has its postulate of Occam’s razor. The crashing and requests for PIN many attribute it to bad contact or possible default SIM card itself. Some temporary solution (come back) after making a duplicate, others not.
Warming: faulty battery or ROM. While the first does not work (batteries, terminal change in the SAT …), the latter seem to help, not make disappear completely, but apparently according to what ROMs (especially one that brought back Samsung) improves enough and even the length of it.
Losses could also 3G ROM problem, problem of the SIM or internal problems (applications). Some have improved (but not slashing away) with a shift to a stable ROM.
Kernel Panic is like the Grim Reaper and go. Do not seek explanation. If you know, utter please.
