Last night before hitting the hay my galaxy s3 restarted on its own... i figured it was a software update since it had done that before with the 4.1.1 update but this morning when i woke up i realized my phone never made it out of the verizon 4G lte screen. its literally been more than 7 hrs. So i looked up the problem ... i've cleared cache like most ppl said to do... i have rebooted and it still freezes on that screen. I have tried a few battery pulls with no luck and i really don't want to factory reset =( Anyone out there have any ideas on what i should do or try before i absolutely must consider factory resetting? Also, my phone is not jail broken or rooted. I do have a ton of apps on my phone though. Another thing is i had just received the new samsung tec-tiles yesterday and was messing around with them ... wonder if that could have messed with my phone... HELP!
