hey I keep getting constant reboots....i can be sending a msg or just looking something up online and all of sudden i get a reboot and it happens a few times a day. Is anyone else having this problem....and i had it before i rooted
Not a single reboot here. I suggest un-rooting and exchanging it.
yea that is my next move

Alright I'll try to keep this brief:
I rooted both mine and my wifes phone. Her phone began shutting off and not powering up until battery pull. She was convinced I caused this. I returned her phone to stock and got a replacement from t mobile.
Upon receiving the replacement (unrooted) the problem began again.
At this point I replaced the sim. Problem persisted.
I formatted the sd. Problem persisted.
She removed sd altogether and still the problem persisted.
I'm all out of variables to trouble shoot here. Am I just the victim of bizarre coincidence to have two 4gs with the same issue?
I'm at a loss.
Thanks in advance.

I've heard of this happening before. Did you try to see if there was an app that caused it to freeze while on standby? And did you root it again?

I'm not sure how I would figure out if there were an app that caused that and since sure never uses custom roms I didn't see a need to root her phone. Still confused.

Perhaps try rooting, and flashing a completely new ROM on and see if that works, or try flashing the stock recovery image from hboot, and see if that fixes it?
Otherwise I think you may just have gotten some bugged phones Been known to happen
Did a search and didnt find anything. Im using the stock messaging app and am not rooted. This is very annoying. Doesnt happen everytime but most of the time when i restart the phone, itll resend a message i already sent.
This morning was weird because my phone was off over night and when i turned it on it did the same thing. First time it ever did it with a regular power on. Any ideas how to make this stop?
I have had that happen also, not every time time. I'm rooted, but a friend of mine is not and its happened to her also.

This is a VERY known bug in Android community if had 3 different android phones and all did this occasionally. I recomend deleting messages regularly and locking the ones important. It's not just u man it sucks I know lol

Okay my girlfriend's atrix reboots almost ten times an hour.....during a phone call it reboots sending/receiving texts or just sitting there probably getting background data. I had her get a new battery cause she had some **** off brand in it....didn't work...now she told me she washed her last atrix and got it replaced so im thinking she got her sim wet and that's why its rebooting or its hardware end....phone is completely stock not rooted...any ideas? Thanks in advance

Unlock it root it and a custom rom fixed mine it did the same thing not as much as hers but still had a lot of random reboots on stock gb .now maybe one random reboot a month

I wouldn't be so fast to unlock the bootloader. A phone that reboots that often most likely has hardware issues. Stock ROMs have issues, but not that radical.
Feed her a nice dinner and get her to come clean as to the evil thing she did to her phone. If there really have been no mishaps, get a warranty replacement. My advice is to not do anything to the phone that would make getting a replacement difficult.
Good Luck
Lol she told me what happened with her first one she gott replaced she washed it....so she got a new one that one rebooted...then she got another and its also rebooting

I would tell u to download a gingerbread fruit cake, moto-fastboot, and do a complete wipe including system, data, webtop, preinstall, cache and boot. (Boot=kernel) then do a fastboot reboot into recovery and flash the 2.3.4 fruit cake. If u need detailed instructions on how to do this and where to get files pm me.

Ten times a day is a frigging lot. I used to have random reboots with group but it was more like twice a day. Sometimes it would not boot up again until I did a battery pull......but flagging to Gingerbread solved all these errors. No random reboots or any problem at all since.

Funny thing is she's on the gb ota...she's outta town for the weekend I think on Monday we are gonna try a new sim that doesn't work.....another replacement....ill keep you all updated incase there's another case of this!

I thought "flagging" to be British slang.
The conclusion I would make from reading this thread is that while many if not the majority of frequent and seemingly random reboots are failed h/w, another failure mode is corruption of the installed kernel and/or support utilities (collectively called the OS). Re-flashing any of the various ROMs will clear the problem.
If f/w corruption is the actual problem,flashing anything requires unlocking the bootloader. If a replacement phone is an option, I would do that rather than risk unlocking the boot loader and then not being able to return it.
I bought two of these galaxy s fours and also convinced my girlfriend who is a long time Apple iPhone user to switch over. I personally have experience one freeze that force me to restart the phone and hasn't happened to me since. My girlfriend on the other hand I was just getting used to the phone and beginning to like it but then she says her music player would be getting to get stuck and also couldn't answer a phone call because her phone was frozen during this. She said it froze about 3 times now forcing her to reboot.. I'm curious to know how is anyone else experienced this issue I understand that phones can get stuck for several reasons doesn't mean it's defective but I'm still curious to know how many people here have experienced at least one freeze up.

I get frozen once too. I played Zombiewood during 4 hours, and the phone was getting hot, when I try to go to menu, the phone froze, I had to restart.
It happens to me once every day or every two days. I think its an app or two that I have that is not fully compatible with my s4. I have removed a couple of apps that I think is causing the problem.

Still experiencing troubles. Seeing what else may be the problem.
I have only had the GN3 for a few days and it has started randomly shutting down. It seems to happen randomly,however it happens almost every time I put it in my pocket. I have tried clearing the cache and completely resetting the phone through the recovery options.
I have not tried rooting it yet.
Is anyone else seeing this?
If you just got the phone and its stock I would return it . Sounds defective to me . I haven't heard of anyone reporting this issue stock.
