reboots continue even with 4.4 STOCK - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, on 21th november arrived my Nexus 4 with EU warranty, bought on the site glistockisti.it. first time the phone had Android version 4.2 was giving me trouble, I'll explain, at the first configuration was restarted, then the phone notified me upgrade to 4.3, after many reboots the phone has been updated. The next day, however, the'll find a telephone notified me to upgrade to version Android 4.4 KitKat. Even then this update has been made, but now I have a somewhat unusual problem, the phone is unusable for me because of the constant reboots. I've tried using the factory image but although I have performed the procedure using the Toolkit, the reboots are still there. What can be according to you? I have to send the phone in for service or someone has encountered the same problems as me? If you have found them, how did you solve?
PS: the phone is now praticamenteo all original, not even the bootloader unlocked

Is it actually rebooting or does it just view the sim lock screen?

reboots continuously, the screen google, the bootanimation and reboot until it lights up, then use it for a while and then restarts again. I tried a hard reset and the factory image but the problem persists

Seems like a hardware issue if you already tried factory reset and are still having issues.

[Q] Nexus 4 update not working

Hi Everyone
First post on this forum and first time trying to fool around with android.
I just replaced a new lcd + touch+ frame to an N4 its build was JOP40C
1) I said to myself why not trying to update manually to lollipop, well the N4 stayed stuck while booting with the colored dots.
2) I said to myself lets go back to JOP40c but that does not exist on google anymore so tried for hours many until JDQ39 and finally could get into my phone, but the number 6 and 7 where missing on the touch (???).
3) I said to myself well lets reinstall again and got totally my touch working.
4) Once done I received automatically an OTA from google, said to myself well lets do google, well the same happened again the phone was kind in a bootloop with the colored X.
Any help would be appreciated on why I am not able to update this phone, do I miss something that I should know and not found over all what I have read over the internet.
I have spent at least 3 working days on this and now I have to go back, make a living and hope that a pro will help.
I assume you're flashing the factory image and then you get a bootloop? Go into the stock recovery after flashing and do a factory reset.

Tried that too lots of post over the internet about that but nothing keep getting blocked on the colored cross or bowls.
Tried also with Nexus Root Toolkit
Just received again the google update to 4.3 jelly beans on the N4 pressed restart and install then got the green robot and saying installing system update.
Then the phone got stuck in his bootloop and tird again the factory reset.
Still stays stuck in its bootloop.

You ever check all sensors work?
Maybe the same problems with this http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/help/issue-sensors-update-t2973047#post60470486
HI
I have checked with another N4, installed a software and checked the differences.
Well you are wright on this one the luminosity and proximity sensors are not showing any sign of life.
It is already past midnight here in France, so I will check tomorrow if I can do something on these sensors.
Will keep you posted if I can fix the sensors and do an update after that.
Hi
How stupid I am, after screen change connector sensor was not pluged in and since I had placed the plastic cover with the screws, could not see it anymore.
At least after have lost so much time, next time I will post a little earlier and at least tonight I will go bed less stupid than yesterday
Google just send the 4.3 upgrade and everything went smooth just no touch anymore so cannot use the phone.
ok installed lollipop but still the same no touch, but now I can install an update but not use the phone.
Anyone on that touch problem

SM910F Note 4 5.1.1 Random Freezes and Restarts

Hello there xda.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 SM910F.
So what is happening to my phone is that whenever I am in any random app lets say reddit or even chrome for example. It will like freeze for a minute or two and then unfreeze.
In more extreme cases it will reboot.
So this happened randomly because I flashed a Stock unbloated 5.1.1 ROM from here back in december and everything was working smoothly and stuff. I had xposed installed and all my apps. Then in February it started with this random freeze/reboot. I had not installed anything else apart from what I had for the last 3 months.
So I restarted the phone, changed the battery and stuff to see whether that will fix it. However it didn't. So I formatted the phone (the soft type) just so I can install another ROM. So I tried another ROM, flashed the correct CP and BL and stuff and then just installed chrome and whatsapp. After an hour or two the same thing happened. So this time I factory reset he phone, like a complete wipe and I installed the unbloated ROM once again with few apps. Same thing happened...
So my last resort was to install Cyonagen Mod. After an hour or two same thing happened...
I don't know what is the problem. I read about some peoples phones emmc failing and thus the freezing, but I am not sure yet.
Please could you guys explain what I should do to fix this?
Thank in advance!
I have the same problem. Starting on mid january. I'm on stock 5.1.1 with root and twrp recovery
Tried backup and factory reset
I went back to stock after I factory reset the phone. And still had the same problems.
People say that its a hardware problem... So I guess I'll have to send it back to Samsung soon.
I think I tripped the knox. I just have to unroot and get it back once again to stock and send it back. I hope that they accept it.
i have the same problem. my model is SM-N910W8 and I bought it from 2nd hand, so no receipt and no prove of purchase.
can I still send it back to samsung to fix it?
same problem as you and now my phone died completely .
my phone was 4 months and he has not supported any longer he died naturally lol.
my operator gave me another free under warranty because the phone had a faulty motherboard and after several back galaxy note 4
This started happening to me a week or so ago and my phone just got stuck in a boot loop after it froze and rebooted. I'm on the latest stock firmware. Tried factory reset, reflashed stock firmware, nothing helps. It still reboots (sometimes it almost gets booted completely, other times it reboots after 2 seconds.
Just disable finger print. Yes that magic feature offered by Samsung is causing more hungry that happiness since S5

Many thanks. This was driving me mad for a few days, I had tried three different ROMS, completely wiping everything. I eventually went back to stock, which I'm still running and it was the same; it would run fine for a few hours and then start to lock up until eventually it would either reboot or stop responding and I'd have to pull the battery to restart it.
Just not selecting fingerprint security doesn't work, you have to force stop "Fingerprints" in Application Manager (All).
just do not setup the finger print lol. I was having those problemes too when I bought the note 4 until someone tell "do not setup the finger print" lol, not I'm a happy user.... I hope that android 6.0.1 solve the probleme

SM-G900A Freezes then restart or crash repeatedly

Hello, my galaxy started to freeze and crash 2 months ago. At first i didn't mind it because it just happens once in a while. But 3 weeks ago, the freeze and crash became more frequent up to a point that even though i'm not doing anything to the phone, it just freeze then restarts. I researched the web and found some solutions, first i've tried to reset to factory settings. i used the wipe data/factory reset in recovery mode. it said the reset is successful then i've restarted the phone and i just loops on the samsung black screen or just crashes during the welcome screen. Then i tried to reinstall the firmware using odin. first i used the 4.4.4 tar (from this forum), the odin said the flash is okay, but when the phone starts up, it just loops on the samsung black screen or just crashes during the welcome screen. so i tried using the downgrade to 4.4.2 tar (from this forum), after successfully flashing it, my phone started to boot. but after i completed the first time process and i'm updating/downloading apps, it started to freeze and crash again, this became a frequent thing again. it just freeze and crashes anytime. i've tried reflashing the 4.4.2 again using a different cord and port, but the same thing still happens. Do you guys know if there is still some way to solve this?
Note: I've got this phone from my father when i visited him in the USA (last June 2015), then when i went home (in the Philippines), i didn't unlock the phone so i it didn't have any sim card since then. is this a factor in the phone's behavior?
Thank you
Up.. hopes someone can help me with this
Update: I've tried using another battery and the situation is still the same.

Random reboots after nougat update

Anybody else's phone rebooting every few days..?
It hard reboots (Galaxy S7 edge screen), so i thought it might be hardware failure.
Haven't downgraded to 6.0 to check.
I don't have an sd card inserted (because the one i had corrupted which caused my phone to randomly reboot, now i took it out and it still does it)
Also, I noticed that every time it randomly reboots, the battery percentage drops significantly.

Before you updated to nougat 7 did you do a full and complete wipe
which includes wipe system, data, cache, dalvik cache and last but
not least did you do a factory reset in twrp recovery before odin
flashing the Nougat firmware?
Are you 100% sure that you odin flashed the correct Nougat 7 firmware for your S7 Edge?
Flashing the wrong firmware can cause rebooting issues and fast battery drain.
Flashing without doing a full and complete wipe can cause rebooting issues too.
Good luck, have a great day!

well, i had a clean 6.0 install which upgraded to 7.0 via ota (UK BTU firmware),but thanks i suppose
(and i also factory reset 7.0 many times)
I am getting random reebots since nougat. I flashed the bell nougat (in on Rogers in canada) and then flashed the Rogers CSC. Things seem to check out so I'm not sure what's wrong. I am going to try to get the Rogers nougat files and see if that addresses the issue.

I have the same issue.... I have unlocked phone on a thai carrier
You DO NOT have to do a 'factory reset' every time you have an update, not even for an operating system update.
I don't know where this comes from but it's stupid.
These updates are designed to integrate with existing systems!
You are as likely to solve any issues with a few reboots.
If you have a problem it's likely due to software conflicts of an app you've installed, not the operating system. Android is pretty good sorting itself out.
So, you do a factory reset with all the hassle of trying to get things back to where you were and then you install another app which causes an issue and ...
Pointless as are the cache wipes always suggested. Android is good at managing resources.
At least with a cache tidy up you're not back to square one
I wished folks would stop suggesting factory resets at every opportunity. Mad.
I get them too, i`m on the lastest NEE software updated via ota. Randomly, when i get it out of the pocket, it says enter pin number because your phone was restarted, i`m using fingerprint lock.
Hello I have a Galaxy S7 and since the update to Android Nougat 7.0, my phone restarts randomly, it can stay an entire week without restart and it can also restart 2 days in a row. It's totally random. I have reset to the factory settings and I have reinstalled only the most important applications (facebook messenger, viber, yahoo mail) but unfortunately about ten days after reset, the problem has reappeared. What could be the cause of this problem? For info, the firmware version installed on my phone is: G930FXXU1DQBO. Also, I saw on SamMobile that the countries that received the update later, had a new version. Could the problem come from that? Is this a bug in the firmware installed on my Galaxy S7. Thank you in advance for your help.
Sadly I have the same problem. Oddly enough this is my first handheld which I didn't root and the first I am running into such issues with.
Got a OTA update to Nougat and I am getting almost daily random restarts.
I wasn't able to discern any patterns so far. Sometimes while it is charging, sometimes just being in my pocket. It doesn't run hot as if an app is running havok nothing.
So far I cleared the cache and that seemed to help but alas it started again.
Does anyone have an idea what is left to try? I would do a complete wipe, but others reported that it did jack for them so I am hesistant to try it.
Sorry for My bad English, i m italian.
Try to remove Chrome. The issues is there for me.
Bye
I have some problem. Not to mention battery life severely reduced after update to nougat. usually 5h screen on time to now 2.. max 3h. SAD.
Samsung Galaxy S8+ Random Reboots
Same problem with my Samsung Galaxy S8+ running Nougat. Purchased the phone from AT&T and received it 3 days ago. It randomly rebooted twice so far, once when I was looking at photos and once when using the play store

I have the same problem. It is completely random, it can happen every 2 days or once a week. Even after a factory reset, this problem of random reboots still persists. The firmware version is G930FXXU1DQBO and I still have not received a new update. Have you solved your problem?

Do you reset your phone to factory settings? What is your firmware version? It seems that the old versions are not very stable.

No, the problem is still here, i did not receive any software updates so far. Sometimes it reboots even twice a day, random, sometimes 2-3 weeks without reboot. Waiting for ota update, maybe it will solve it.

After receiving the February version, did you receive a corrective update? If this is the case, it may be the update that has solved your problem.

Phone stuck on boot animation after restarting itself

Ever since I updated my phone to stable android 10 it started to restart itself every couple of days and gets stuck on boot animation, tried hard reseting it, tried adb but the only thing that works is disconnecting the battery and connecting it back again and it boots just fine (broke my glass back while trying to open it ).
I assume that the android 10 update causes it and Im waiting for another ota that will maybe fix it (dont want to factory reset the phone cause I dont know if it will help and I dont want to backup stuff cause Im lazy).
Has anyone experienced it or have an idea on how to solve it?
You'll have to try factory reset and manually reinstall your apps.

Removing the battery was a waste of time
Any phone with a non removable battery can easily be reset with a simple button combo. Just hold power + volume up and the phone will restart same as a battery pull.
As for you phone rebooting on its own you'll likely have to do the full wipe and re install to fix it.

This problem is reported by many users. I had it as well (TMobile converted phone). Volume+ and power will reboot the phone. This problem happened to me 2-3 times in 3 days so I went back to pie. And I did a full reset when I upgraded the phone. It is not that. I have 2 Sims (TMobile + Verizon).
