Z3 compact freezes and reboots constantly with large music collection on sd card.

Hi
On adding my music collection(72GB) to the sd card via the usb cable, I've run into a pretty serious issue/bug with my z3 compact. This renders the phone useless. All is well as long as I never reboot/shutdown the phone after adding music. I've successfully used the walkman app for a number of days with the full music colletion present. Once the phone is shutdown, on restart it gets hot, battery starts to drain significantly( +- 10% in about 4min) and it then freezes and reboots constantly. I've tried a number of things to attempt to recover.
removing the sd card, leaving it out and restarting the phone
removing the music files from the sd card
factory reset but keeping the music files on the sd card
I've used mp3diags to scan my collection for broken files, there were some minor issues with id3 tags which I've corrected but no broken files.
None of these actions improved matters, the only solution seems to be to erase data from the sd card and factory reset the phone. Then add the files again. This is quite time consuming and very very frustrating.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Have a look at this post....sounds very much like what you are experiencing dont you think

Firefox 3.6.23 having freezing and rebooting issues with Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin

Firefox 3.6.23 is experiencing constant freezing and rebooting issues with Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin, not sure if it is a conflict issue or not.
Since the update there had been no reported issues till today when the blue screen came up on me, this issue prior to plug in 11 had occurred at least 6 times, this issue only happens on firefox.
I do not wish to update since recent firefox browsers seem to have a lot of ongoing issues.

Anyone able to help please?
Thanks.

Ipad 4 Retina display keeps freezing and reboots

the past week my Ipad 4 has been having problems with freezing and rebooting. I deleted a game app which I thought was the problem and now when I use my email app it will start to freeze then reboot. Of course my warranty has just run out when this happened. I have tried the stadard things up to resetting but not a complete restore yet. Sometimes when rebooting it will hang and I get pixilation etc. This is very frustrating any ideas? IOS 7.04. 32GB.

Did the standard things include Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings? You could have a corrupt setting that is causing problems. You won't lose any data, but it takes some time to enter all of the device settings again and you will have to do that if you reset all settings.
If that doesn't work, then you probably should backup, restore to factory settings and them restore from the backup. If that fails, then the next step is to restore as new and not from the backup, them rebuild the iPad by adding your apps and content methodically looking for any signs of further problems.

Iphone 3gs freezes and reboots itself every now and then

Hi, I have an iPhone 3GS with latest firmware 5.0.1 and sometimes it just freezes and reboots itself. I tried to restore it as new, from backup, I upgraded firmwares but still every now and then it just reboots itself. Often when I start the phone in the morning it reboots several times in a row. Are the latest firmwares buggy or what? Please help!

I found solution on this forum. He said the problem solved by reset all setting -> as new phone. (Don't worry, data is preserved). This works for me so far.. keep my finger cross.

Lumia 620 randomly freezes and reboots

I knew a cheap windows phone is too good to be true. I've been getting random freezes and reboots without any reason at all. This is unacceptable, nokia should address this windows 8 issue afflicting wp 8 phones. Please don't tell be to do a soft or hard reset because we already know it won't fix the problem.

Hi, everyone. I've been having problems with random reboots ever since I bought my Lumia 620 and it was driving me crazy. It freezes up sporadically too, but I think I found a fix for rebooting issues.
When my cousin bought her Lumia 620 I immediately asked her if hers rebooted sporadically as well. She said it hadn't, not once. Then, one time her battery was dying so I gave her mine, and she left me with her battery and on charger while she went home. Anyway, hers started to reboot frequently, whilst mine was behaving ok.
When we replaced the batteries again, mine began rebooting again.
Finally, I checked both our batteries and found out mine was moving around the device more freely than hers. Hers was held firmly in place while mine danced around. Then I tried moderate, yet gentle tap on the side of my device and it rebooted EVERY TIME I tapped it. After I inserted a small, neatly folded piece of paper between the device and the battery, the battery clicked in place tightly and it couldn't move at all. Reboots stopped, no matter how strong I tapped the sides of the device.
This hasn't resolved any freezes, but at least it's not rebooting all the time. So check your battery, maybe it is a hairline thinner or smaller or whatnot from the rest of them and it can move around. A millisecond is enough for it to lose contact, half a millimeter of movement is enough to cause your phone to reboot. Hope this revelation of mine will help someone

3GS Frequent freezes and Reboots since 3.1

Since installing 3.1 my iPhone 3GS freezes and reboots several times daily. Sometimes when it freezes I have to do a hard reboot several times before it will actually restart. This was never an issue with my Original iPhone or the 3GS prior to 3.1. Anyone else experiencing these problems??

Well, on one hand I'm glad that it's not just me. From a trouble-shooting perspective that rules out a lot of potential local issues on my end. Most likely it's a 3.1 issue then. Hopefully someone at Apple is paying attention and a software update is on it's way. I've seen other posts now where people have gotten new phones (mine's under warranty still so I could too) but it hasn't solved the issue. Again, not localized to one phone puts the issue squarely in Apple's court.

IPhone freezes and reboots

I've got a strange problem and this is ironically right after I tried to convince my girlfriend that the iPhone is the most usefull phone in the world.
The iphone is factory unlocked (no hacks or anything) running 2.2.1
I tried to access safari which cased the phone to just freeze on a black screen.
After I tried rebooting it simply froze at the Passcode screen, would show the spinning wheel then reboot.
It just keeps on doing that.
I can't touch the screen to unlock it and I cannot restore it with iTunes because it says that I need to enter the Passcode on the phone before I can use iTunes. Again I can't enter the passcode because the phone freezes and reboots....
I cannot enter into DFU mode because I'm using a Mac 10.5.6 (another bit of irony)

I found solution on this forum. He said the problem solved by reset all setting -> as new phone. (Don't worry, data is preserved). This works for me so far.. keep my finger cross.

Freezing and Rebooting issue - Hardware or Softwar...

Sorry if this has been asked before...but...
Is the freezing and rebooting issue caused by a fault in the Hardware or Software...?
Can someone from BT please explain just exactly what is going on.
Thank you,

Just been on live chat as we are fed up of freezing up, random reboots and failed recordings. Usually happens on Gold, Sky Sports - the non freeview channels. Advice from Geetesh was factory reset thus losing existing recordings, stating rather optimistically that this 'will resolve the problem'. When pushed on freezing and failed recordings issue Geetesh said recording of 'internet channels is in a test phase so won't be able to record'?? But we have recorded on gold, fox for example - response is that it won't always work, only for some customers.
The advisor was getting confused. The bit about recording broadband channels still being in test phase only applies to BT Youview boxes. The recording functionality has been available for broadband channels on the BT Vision+ boxes since they launched last January.
To answer the original question. The occasional freezes and reboots are caused by the New Look software (possibly in conjunction with associated system changes on the BT servers). Many of us had years of trouble free viewing using the Classic software on the same black BT Vision+ boxes. It was only when we were upgraded to the New Look software that all the troubles began. If however, you are getting such problems many times per day, or even many times per hour that could indicate a hardware fault.

My iPod Touch is freezing and rebooting itself.

Hi.
Here's the story:
My iPod was recently working yesterday. I left it on the wall charger for a while, and later I come back to find my iPod frozen, out of nowhere. For another while, it freezes and starts to reboot itself. I done all I can. I watched videos on how to unfreeze it and etc, and I tried restoring it, and doing about everything I can to recover this iPod, it doesn't work. So I turned it off, and let it settle overnight. This morning, I turn it on, and it restored, everything was working fine, until when I go to my Messages app, it freezes once again, and now it is doing the same thing, but this time it repeats to the home screen, freezes, and reboots again. I tried calling for support and they said my warranty is expired.
I own an iPod Touch 4G, 8GB, for about 6 months.
To be specific: It always goes to the Apple logo and then the loading circle then shuts off, then does it again. Before this problem about a day before this happened, I accidentally put a little water on it and wiped it off while I was working on chores. (Sorry, I often have it next to me a lot.) Plus, I did have a lot of data on it but it didn't seem much of a problem.
Please, if anyone can help, tell me what is the reason behind this problem, and at least if you can try to solve this for me. I will try going to a local Apple store later on if this problem keeps going. But for right now, I need this help. Thank you all.
Bye.

Latest i-pod touch wont sync, computer freezes and comes up with error -21 when i pull it out

Latest i-pod touch wont sync, computer freezes and comes up with error -21 when i pull it out of the usb port

Error 20, 21, 34, 37: These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. If you are using a PC, follow this article to resolve this issue.
Above from:

Next I would try placing the iPod in recovery mode and then try restoring the iPod. Note that this will erase the iPod. For recovery mode see:

Weird noises and then nano freezes and reboots

My nano now has pops and other noises occasionally during songs. Some songs will work fine, others not. It continues to do this until it freezes and reboots.
I took out my headphones and played it for 22 songs without it rebooting.
It was working fine until I recharded the nano if that helps. I have only had this thing for 3 weeks!
I'd rather not send it in, I've reset it already, anything else I can do?

I have this exact same problem, although I can occasionally get through a few songs. Hopefully someone out there has an answer/fix.

Any ideas?

The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

HT201263 My Iphone 4s freezes and reboots

It freezes and reboots anywhere from 5-14 times a day 14 is the most it has done it to me some far. I tried deleting everything and restoring it as a new phone as i was told to do when i called for support but it did not work

If restoring as new didn't help, there is a hardware problem and you need to take it to Apple or whoever provides warranty service in your country.

I think you may find helpful information here:
A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
The Knowledgebase article Intel-based Mac: Some migrated applications may need to be updated refers to methods of dealing with migrating from PowerPC chips to Intel with the Migration Assistant safely. The authors of this tip have not had a chance to verify this works in all instances, or that it avoids the 10.6.1 and earlier Guest Account bug that caused account information to get deleted upon use of the Migration/Setup Assistant. However, a well backed up source that includes at least two backups of all the data that are not connected to your machine will help you avoid potential issues, should they arise. In event it does not work, follow the steps below.
If you are migrating a PowerPC system (G3, G4, or G5) to an Intel-Mac be careful what you migrate. Keep in mind that some items that may get transferred will not work on Intel machines and may end up causing your computer's operating system to malfunction.
Rosetta supports "software that runs on the PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor that are built for Mac OS X". This excludes the items that are not universal binaries or simply will not work in Rosetta:
Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications
Screensavers written for the PowerPC System Preference add-ons
All Unsanity Haxies Browser and other plug-ins
Contextual Menu Items
Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5 Kernel extensions
Java applications with JNI (PowerPC) libraries
See also What Can Be Translated by Rosetta.
In addition to the above you could also have problems with migrated cache files and/or cache files containing code that is incompatible.
If you migrate a user folder that contains any of these items, you may find that your Intel-Mac is malfunctioning. It would be wise to take care when migrating your systems from a PowerPC platform to an Intel-Mac platform to assure that you do not migrate these incompatible items.
If you have problems with applications not working, then completely uninstall said application and reinstall it from scratch. Take great care with Java applications and Java-based Peer-to-Peer applications. Many Java apps will not work on Intel-Macs as they are currently compiled. As of this time Limewire, Cabos, and Acquisition are available as universal binaries. Do not install browser plug-ins such as Flash or Shockwave from downloaded installers unless they are universal binaries. The version of OS X installed on your Intel-Mac comes with special compatible versions of Flash and Shockwave plug-ins for use with your browser.
The same problem will exist for any hardware drivers such as mouse software unless the drivers have been compiled as universal binaries. For third-party mice the current choices are USB Overdrive or SteerMouse. Contact the developer or manufacturer of your third-party mouse software to find out when a universal binary version will be available.
Also be careful with some backup utilities and third-party disk repair utilities. Disk Warrior, TechTool Pro , SuperDuper , and Drive Genius work properly on Intel-Macs with Leopard. The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries. Leopard Cache Cleaner, Onyx, TinkerTool System, and Cocktail are now compatible with Leopard.
Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.

Transferring data with Setup Assistant - Migration Assistant FAQ
Because Migration Assistant isn't the ideal way to migrate from PowerPC to Intel Macs, using Target Disk Mode, copying the critical contents to CD and DVD, an external hard drive, or networking will work better when moving from PowerPC to Intel Macs. The initial section below discusses Target Disk Mode. It is then followed by a section which discusses networking with Macs that lack Firewire.
If both computers support the use of Firewire then you can use the following instructions:
1. Repair the hard drive and permissions using Disk Utility.
2. Backup your data. This is vitally important in case you make a mistake or there's some other problem.
3. Connect a Firewire cable between your old Mac and your new Intel Mac.
4. Startup your old Mac in Transferring files between two computers using FireWire.
5. Startup your new Mac for the first time, go through the setup and registration screens, but do NOT migrate data over. Get to your desktop on the new Mac without migrating any new data over.
If you are not able to use a Firewire connection (for example you have a Late 2008 MacBook that only supports USB:)
1. Set up a local home network: Creating a small Ethernet Network.
2. If you have a MacBook Air or Late 2008 MacBook see the following:
MacBook (13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008) and MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008)- What to do if migration is unsuccessful;
MacBook Air- Migration Tips and Tricks;
MacBook Air- Remote Disc, Migration, or Remote Install Mac OS X and wireless 802.11n networks.
Copy the following items from your old Mac to the new Mac:
In your /Home/ folder: Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites folders.
In your /Home/Library/ folder:
/Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder) /Home/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)
Also in /Home/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need including folders for any third-party applications)
/Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder) /Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder) /Home/Library/Preferences/ (copy the whole folder) /Home /Library/Calendars (copy the whole folder) /Home /Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder) /Home /Library/Safari (copy the whole folder)
If you want cookies:
/Home/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist /Home/Library/Application Support/WebFoundation/HTTPCookies.plist
For Entourage users:
Entourage is in /Home/Documents/Microsoft User Data Also in /Home/Library/Preferences/Microsoft.
Credit goes to Macjack for this information.
If you need to transfer data for other applications please ask the vendor or ask in the Discussions where specific applications store their data.
5. Once you have transferred what you need restart the new Mac and test to make sure the contents are there for each of the applications.
