Samsung Galaxy S Kernel Panic?

This morning I was playing the Angry Birds demo, and exited the game by pressing the Home button rather than Back. This went back to the home screen but paused mid-scroll, so half the icons from one page and half from the next page were showing. It stayed like this for a short while before a black page appeared with a message saying something like ‘Panic Kernel Upload Mode’. The only thing I could do was take the battery out and turn the phone back on. This seemed to eventually fix it, at first all of my icons had disappeared but they came back eventually. Hopefully it was just a one-off, maybe it’s caused by the Angry Birds beta and will be fixed in the full version…

  6. The same thing has happen on my wife’s Galaxy S on two occasions; cleared each time by holding the power key in until the phone reboots.

  7. hold the on/off button for like 45 seconds should turn off then reset back on…no more black screen android

  8. my galaxy s has had the kernel panic mode over 10 times in one day removed battery external mem card and sim no sign of it leaving. anyone had the same problem of it persistantly staying ?????

  9. had the same problem with phone I bought in UAE. Sent back to SAMSUNG and they told me it was irreparable. Now in the bin Im afraid

  10. I haven’t had this problem for a very long time – it might be that flashing more recent firmware has fixed the problem, so if anyone still has this problem it might be worth updating to the latest stock firmware to try and fix it.
