Help Samsung Galaxy Y reboots after originating a call.

Hi, I have a problem with my Samsung Galaxy SII which consists of the telephone constantly restarting. The phone I have now is the second of the same type. The first rebooted so many times that I finally asked to get a new one. But now this phone is starting to do the same thing. The Android version is 2.3.5. Is there anyone here who has experienced the same thing as me and who can advise me how I get it to stop rebooting all the time? Every time it restarts it throws me off the wifi network, which is quite annoying. Thank you very much in advance for any inquiry.

Hi Raghu & Vikas, I own a Samsung Galaxy Y too and faced the same problem over 3 weeks until last night, I had contacted Samsung and researched internet everyday to find a solution without landing myself anywhere, finally I thought of doing something on my own as this thing was killing me. I do not know if this is completely fool proof but haven't faced the restart problem since then.

Please follow the below steps to have this sorted out:

Go to Settings ---> Click on Applications ---> Click on Manage Applications ---> Click on All tab ---> Select each and every application you have on your phone and clear cache.

I guess the reason behind this is Galaxy's RAM is only 290 MB & Phone Memory is 190 MB and if we do not clear the cache and stuff the memory gets piled up too much for the phone to handle.

As I said, I just got this last night so hoping this is the main cause of the restarting problem.

If this does not work will try and find something else for ourselves.

Thanks & Regards,
Samuel Gier

instead of doing this use app cache cleaner from market.
It clears cache of all apps in a click.

Hi Samuel

Thanks for the info...I had also the same problem, wht I used to do is Uninstall some Application then I never seen my mobile restarted, two days back again I installed some applications then I seen two times my mobile restarted. Memory is the problem for this issue

Well. I've had 3 Galaxy Y:s now. Every one had a rebooting anomaly in them. I tried flashing Jellyblast in the first one, but it kept doing it still. Now that i'm on my third one i can only presume that my SIM card is really weirdly corrupt and i'll go get a new one. If it doesn't work after that, i can take my phone back to the shop. I dunno about memory leaks, because i really haven't installed anything on it, i keep it with me and sometimes it just keeps on booting.

Mine is Samsung Galaxy Y too, and was using it happily for past 8 months. But it kept on restarting itself after I disconnect the call. I have cleared RAM from TaskManager-> RAM -> Clear Memory (it displays a message N applications closed).
and problem was solved temporarily, but at the end of day same thing happens and I repeat above steps.
Few days ago, phone was just idle and I noticed a message in notification bar which says memory card removed, I do not know why. But I had to restart and message was cleared. Did anyone else also face same issue?

Hi mygalaxy y s5360 always get restarted the moment i disconnect the call. after so much research and googling i have got
the solution. go to setting->wireless and networks-> mobile networks->network mode. here see which option you have selected
either it should be GSM or CDMA. i have selected both GSM/CDMA. this was the issue when ever i diconnect the call it try to
search the network GSM/CDMA,but when i changed the network to single one like GSM. I got rid from the restart issue.
It really works for me. i had tried formatting my phone, factory reset,cache deleted but all those stuff didn't help me.
so finally by changing the network mode mbl works fine.

YES, it is working fine .After changing network mode to GSM the issue was resolved. May be only this setting is the cause for this type of issue.
Thanks :)
