help..don't know what's wrong with my phone.

here's the behavior of the phone.
- phone always restarts even when i'm not doing anything
- after restart, it will restart again after the loading screen (SE animation)
* this happens about 2-4x before it stays open and usable
- when charging phone, phone shut downs, no powering off phone dialog
- can't start phone after shutdown, phone just vibrates when powered on
- need to remove mc, sim and battery for about 5 mins before it can start
- now i can't really start the phone no matter what.
i've got the phone for 2 months now, and it just recently behaved like this. can someone tell what could cause all these behavior. really need your help guys.
thanks.

x10a or x10i? rooted or normal? what firmware are you running? and what's the last thing you remember doing before these events started to take place?

^Excellent troubleshooting questions
I would also try using a different battery and see if that makes a difference.

x10i, normal, generic phone, R1FA014
from davinciteam -> X10i R1FA014 0001 CUSTOMIZED PH/SENSUOUS BLACK GENERIC
I live in the Philippines
last thing i did:
if you're referring to this:
- phone always restarts even when i'm not doing anything
* this happens when i'm just browsing the contents of the phone. not using any app or file manager. just looking what apps i've got through the pull up menu, the properties of the phone. basically nothing that important
if you're referring to this:
- now i can't really start the phone no matter what.
*last thing i did was charged my phone but then it shut down, and it won't start up again

First of all... mabuhay and mga Pinoy!
Does SEUS pick up the phone?
Can you get in to Flash Mode at least or when you say not booting up at all, you mean... no power whatsoever?
Have you tried a different battery?

SEUS can detect it. There are two options right now (1) Update and (2) Factory Reset + Update. I don't to flash as much as possible cause I haven't backed up the phone yet. Will (1) Update erase my contacts and messages? There are important messages in my phone.
About the not booting up. No nothing, the phone just vibrates when I power it on. Nothing happens.
About the battery. Haven't tried a different one cause I don't know anyone else who has an x10. How much would the battery cost here?

or the phone just short-circuited?

Google maps keeps force closing

hey guys, I don't know what happened but about 30 min ago, every time I try to open Google Maps I get the Force close notification.....anybody have any ideas of how I can fix this? I tried restarting the phone and uninstalling and reinstalling updates but nothing has helped

It's happening to me too. Started about an hour ago. It doesn't happen every time, but pretty often. Since we're not alone, it sounds like google has changed something server side that's sending data that kills the client.

oh pheww.....I thought I was alone lol
not to seem like an a-hole and be happy it's happening to you....but just sayin....haha

Thanks... I was a little worried myself, I installed the wifi tethering mod earlier today and thought I might have screwed the phone up.

Weird! Just started happening to me too. Thanks god for this forum and the search button, because I almost just began the nightmare of trying to figure out which new app or kernel I installed was causing this issue. Guess ill wait now since I'm not the only one. It's probably a Google server causing a problem.....

Same here, just started a little bit ago ... I don't think I can leave the house safely if I don't have access to google maps!$%!
edit: Just a possible fix ... I uninstalled and reinstalled and so far so good...

Are you guys using a modified rom?

I uninstalled/reinstalled didn't help, but if I use WiFi it works fine. Weird.

Me too, except worse - my entire phone freezes up and I have to pull the battery. Not an east or safe thing to do while driving. Started happening about a week ago. Anybody know why?

Forgot to say. Stock ROM on my Vibrant.

Stock Rom here too. Just started doing this to me today also, but only when I use it on the wifi on 3g its fine.

uninstall the google maps update and it will work for now. Google broke it and they will fix it.

Have you guys tried factory data wipe and reset?
*2767*3855#

I got the crash only when WiFi was turned on . I uninstalled all the updates and am not getting it anymore.

Mine not forcing close, but a black screen "force me to shut down and boot the phone manually".
Everytime I opened google map with GPS on, the phone hanged and I needed to long press the power button to boot..

That is an issue I have seen with lag fix installed...i had to odin back to stock install lag fox then install apps...fixed all my fc issues on stock and other roms...anyways food for thought.

Updated today but still black screen when GPS is on...need to restart the phone manually everytime!!

Phone restarting randomly

Every once in awhile, I will look over and notice the Roger logo popped back up on my phone which means its restarting. No idea how much this does in a day but I have caught it a couple times in the past few days. Anyone have this problem? An excuse to get a phone replaced?

yup..happens to me on average around 3 times a week.
i launch an app..the screen goes blank..suddenly i notice the phone has restarted.
maybe low on RAM or too high temperature

Me phone has only done this once to me after I cleaned too many built in apps from my phone.
Other than that my phone has never rebooted.
Swyped from my rooted X10i using XDA.

My phone had restarting problem when i used aHome home launcher. After unistalling it, never happened again

Weird. My phone has never done it while i am using it. Its always done it when sitting by itself on a table, not running anything.

If you guys read the SE support site, you'll know that it has to do with the phone running out of memory because of too many apps running at the same time.
I know that there is a group here who does not believe in Advance Task Killer app, but I haven't had this issue after starting using this app. And, I'll repeat again, it helps me conserve the battery, not matter whoever who keeps saying that it is useless for that purpose.

It reboots even if you have a lot of memory free. This morning it rebooted after 30 min from the first boot and I didn't use it.
Ciao Angelo

noticed this happening quite a bit over last 2-3 days, not sure if its been caused by program update, possibly adw home.
today has been the worst, disconnecting and reconnecting almost every minute or so.
gonna try switching 3g off see if that helps. really annoying, makes browsing a PITA.

Is this a problem for rooted phones mostly?

I personally found that it happen when I connected to Wifi.
That's for myself.

X10 Restarting
you showld try to turn off the WCDMA mode, after turning only GSM mode it never restarted again, and if i turn it on goes back to restarting every once in a wille, especialy when connected to my car's bluetooth.
try it and give feed back.

Started happening to me after I stopped using advanced task killer... maybe it happens when it runs out of ram?

Don't your phones get extremely laggy without ATK? I usually don't exit apps when I'm done with them, I just press the home button, and open up more apps, so I can't go without it...
As far as I can recall, my phone's never restarted on me...

In the last couple of days it is happening to me too.
I stop using the phone for some time, and then it just restarts itself.

i just bought an x10 yerstday and ever since the recent update it has continuously rebooted on its own when browsing the net and playing music.
This really bugged me since i didnt know whether it was a faulty set or the new update was the problem. after going through various threads on various forums i realised the problem is very common.(unrooted before and fully factory unlocked)
So here is my Solution. it has not restarted yet after doing the following
1. Rooting and updating to latest firmware R2BA026
2. Installing Auto memory manager
> Setting it as follows
FA... 2MB
VA... 2MB
SS... 4MB
HA... 5MB
CP... 6MB
EA... 6MB
3. Installing Advanced Task Killer (Using it as normally as u could do)
> Untick Superuser permission
> Untick Auto Memory Manager
Dont let the memory fall below 15mb always check Auto Memory Manager and then use ATK.
Please tell me if this worked for you. it worked for me

I solved my reboot problem with Reset to factory defaults.

Tried this, also tried resetting using seus and still it continues, think my phone has a fault now, I'm now running latest o2 uk fw (26).
If I'm on 3g it will cycle being connected and disconnected almost constantly, makes using net impossible, if I set it to use gsm only everything is fine. Could be o2 screwing with 3g where I live but I don't think so some how, not for this length of time!
Any one have any ideas? Failing that its gonna have to be sent away :-(

Ok so I wasnt a believer in all this r/s crap, but I alsmost shat my pants last night when my phone r/s on me during a call. Now at that time its wasnt on wifi but it r/s on me...i dialed again and after a few mins it r/s again. This is pissing me off. Any solutions.???
I guess if it continues then imma jump ona new phone.

Random restarts

The past week I got 3 restarts on my note. First was at home with USB cable to PC to charge it, nothing else, locked screen, don't remember if there was a running app. The other 2 times where on the road, I was listening music on stock music player. The only app I am thinking it could have something to do with this is top deals, even not 100% sure need to confirm got rid of it now let me check it. Anyone else noticed anything similar???

It happened to me few days back. It did not restart but I found it was off. Battery was around 50% and it was on third day after restart. I think it could be remote desktop app called 2X - Note particularly gets slow after runing 2X couple of times. I am on 2nd day without running 2X and I wish to confirm if this app is playing something wrong (btw I didn't have problem with 2X on S2).

Yup. It does happen to many people. "Sleep of death" happened to me several times on stock speeds/voltages. Restarts on my phone seem to be more OC/UV related.

I got mine about a week now and have had several restarts. It was way worse before I ran the update though... Now it "only" reboots 0-3 times a day
I don't dare to root it before I know it software related, but it seems like that since it got better with the official update...
I have restored it to factory defaults etc and nothing helps. I experienced this with NO extra apps installed and with the 4 apps I installed it's not worse. (Don't wanna personalize it before I root OR send it back and hope for replacement.)

Third day and it restarted. It however did not reset System Uptime.

Never had a random restart or sleep of death, in fact I can only recall 1 FC and I've had the phone for 2 weeks now

Lucky you!
Well what I wonder is if I root it is it possible that a custom ROM will fix my problems?

My phone restarts itself at night, is yours also behave like this?

I have a weird problem with my note 4. It restarts itself 2-3 times but only at night. It starts at about 3, 4 am and then every hour or so until 7 am. I hear the buzz on every restart. Also my gear fit connects and disconnects every time with a vibration buzz. It drives me nuts!
Do you have the same problem?
I already tried a factory reset, also disabled the automatic sync to the servers. Also formatted the SD card inside the phone and tried to remove it completely but the phone still restarted at night.
I went to the Samsung center- they sent it to the lab and the lab said that the phone does not have any problem at all- but they did not check it at night.
I'm on the latest firmware N910FXXU1ANJ4
Can you help me? What could be the problem? what can I do???

If it happens again...get a video recorder..record the event...show it to samsung..demand a replacement. My device had no problems what so ever when it was completely stock, or after rooting or when using custom rom.

That is so odd...! What if you tried to video record the phone restarting and show it to the service centre? Maybe with a timestamp so you can stitch together the restarts and demonstrate what happens every night.

I will do what you suggest . I will record the phone on video and show them what it does. This is not normal if I'm the only one who have that problem.

Hope you can exchange a new one
I dont have that problem

I will sue them. This is the only way. Because they are like wall. not possible to prove that you are right

I don't think that there is a solution. There is something wrong with the phone because not all the units faulty. Tonight i will film the phone on video camera to prove it and sue the company. They refusing to refund my money because they claim that the phone does not have any problem.

I have got that issue, but it just turn off by itself while recharging at night

I'm having the same problem with my Moto X 2014. It reboots itself only at nights one or more times. I've trying everything without any success. Did you manage to fix yours?
Thanks!

Do you have any memory management software installed? Some of them kick in when phone is not used for longer time and maybe it deletes something what causes phone to reboot?

If it's only at night whilst charging, it could just be an overheat problem.
