I am messing with my phone constantly all day long so I have to change my battery once or twice a day. Twice I have had the micro-sd card fall out when I was changing the battery and once it just popped up a little bit. I found it both times.
So, a word of warning to the wise. When you change your battery, glance at your micro-sd card to see if it is still there.

So has anyone found a fix for the rebooting issue?

My brother's kept doing it, fixing errors on the sd card seemed to help for a bit. So I fixed the errors, copied all the files off it, reformatted it and copied them back. Seems to be cooperating since then.

Just started doing it to me again so I don't know.
Interesting thing, brother got his replacement Evo (refurb) and he transferred over his same SD card and battery. Old phone giving problems was reporting the battery as fully charged, same battery put in new phone took an hour to fully charge. Maybe these boot loops are caused by low batteries and the phone is lying about the charge level?
I have a Kingston 16gb Class 4/6 (I forget) and it was working fin up til yesterday night. My phone was heating up, especially around the area of the SD card. And so I turned it off for a while, but then it was stilll heating up, so I took out the battery, and it hardreset. Now it says I only have a total 0f the default 7.4gb-8gb memory.
I've reformatted like... 5 times already, and nothing has been working interms of getting that memory back on.
This Focus is starting to get a lot more frustrating -__-
Please help!
Oh and even now, it's still heating up and all that.
I would definitely take that card out and reformat without it. Sounds scary. Not worth frying the phone.

Yeahhh I did. I'm hoping if I can get the card back to normal( I've read that either through a camera or a Symbian phone can reformat thecard to its normal pre-wp7 state) I can pop it back in. But actually... It seems as though my phone is a lot better
Without the sd card. Battery life is back to normal and it just feels like a much better phone in general. So I'm partially happy, still don't have my 22gb total anymore though
So...like a number of S3 users out there, I was also pretty disappointed by the battery life...
Then, i initialized the device, using kies and did a factory reset...but this time, i didnt insert the 16 GB SDHC card in and used it without it for the first battery cycle....i was SHOCKED by the results i got!!
Good..right?
Now, im confused as wat to do now...cuz I have to use my SDHC...can anyone suggest why this happened?
P.S.My previous battery stats attached here...
i think its the media-server
put the card in and leave the phone alone,so the media-server can index the files on the sd-card

The card has been inserted for the past 5-6 months...I was always getting battery around this range..
Looks like you had the media-server bug. Media server wasn't letting your phone go in to deep sleep.
Put your SD card back in, take a backup, format it and then put your data back in.
That solved it for me.

Actually nothing impressive, got about one day and 18 hours runtime including a lot of listening to music and random use of facebook for a short time and of course other stuff. With sdhc card insered.
Was on latest firmware and rooted phone.

This one was with the sdhc!
Besides, ask the ppl suffering from battery drain whether this is impressive or not :/

Finally upgraded from my SGS1 Epic to a SGS4, but I've come across some issues and need to return it before my 14 day return is up. I think the SD card slot is fried, 32 GB card reads in my epic, but in the SGS4 it just says bad card try reformatting. Then it says erasing card and just pops up with the same message again. Also an other glitch (or feature) is the nuclear battery. can run it all day and it never goes below 100%, luckily it seams more on the software side as when I plug it in I get the red light for charging that eventually turns green. I thought it might overcharge the battery if it was reading it wrong.
I had force rom 2.3 on it and have used odin and the stock tar to get back to stock, formatted all the partitions OAHDus would allow me to.
Is there any thing else I may have to do before returning it that is new on the SGS4 that i am unaware of?
Thanks for any help you can give.

Nice. I like how you went in there with wolf balls and got a new unit.

I bought a 2nd hand Note 4 and assumed it was corrupted or damaged in some way as it was:
- repeatedly restarting or just turning off
- most apps force closing
- freezing for minutes until battery taken out and replaced
- general slowness and lagging during any activity
- battery skipping whole chunks of percentage
To try and fix, I did all the usual boot methods and factory reset, but nothing worked.
Finally, today I swapped the battery with my bro's Note 4 battery, and everything seemed to be fine.. it also is fine when plugged in (with its original battery).
Could the battery quality/condition affect software performance to this extent?? Should I just buy a new battery instead of returning the phone?
Thanks
Buy a new battery.
In fact buy two, the phone is worth it.
The batteries are cheap now and once the Note 4 is properly juiced, you won't look back.
