A weird one this.
On my stock Note 3 with 4.3 firmware, everytime I boot up, I get this sequence
Splash screen and music play
Lock screen appears and I see the network bars appear
Bang - back to splash screen again
Lock screen appears and it seems to have lost the network
Bang - back to splash screen again
Lock screen appears and I see the network bars appear again.....
Sometimes it does one further cycle of this but eventually it settles down. If I boot up in airplane mode, then there are no repeats of the splash screen.
Any idea what is upsetting my Note 3?

I believe those are often timing-generated glitches related to mounting EFS and/or to SELinux / knox. I have seen similar a few times, in my case usually after a new Wanam Xposed + changes in more advanced settings there.
IMHO you should be more worried if that happens every single time.

I have my Nexus 4 for about 2 months now, and lately I have noticed a very annoying thing.
Whenever I lock my screen and then trying to quickly unlock it (using the power button), the screen lights up a little bit in a dark blue, stays like that for about 15-20 seconds, and only after that the lock screen shows up, allowing me to unlock the phone. This happens every time I try to unlock it after, let's say, less than 10 seconds after I locked it. If I unlock it after a longer period of sleep, no problem at all.
I have stock Android 4.2.2 and the phone is not rooted.
I have had installed GO Locker, and thought that it might cause the problem, but I uninstalled it. Unfortunately the problem persists.
I also had apps like Screen on / off, GO Switch, that were device administrators to allow them to lock the screen. I have unistalled them all, the same situation.
Can anybody tell me what is the cause and how could I fix this? It's really annoying when I need some quick information and I have to wait 20 second for the screen to unlock.
I have this really rare problem from time to time, my screen starts to turn on and off with some green lines tearing and artifacting. This effect continues when I trigger screen movement (any screen action, like scrolling) until I reboot. Rebooting dosent seem to fix the problem instantly (it's coming back as soon as the phone goes past the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 logo) but it goes away rapidly after reboot when I do so.
Strange fact: this seems to occur when I'm outside and the weather is cold (minus 1 or 2 celcius) and It never happened with a battery over 60%.
Anyone has a cue on the problem? Is it hardware related? If it is, how come the post-android boot screen dosen't seems to be affected ?

Hi guys!
I devoted myself a complete evening into fixing my little brothers GS5. 2 weeks ago he told me he was installing an original Samsung update. However after this update his phone would randomly turn off after a few minutes of being on. So I guessed something was wrong with the software. I flashed a stock rom onto the phone, but now it doesn't even boot. I tried multiple stock versions of Android 4x 5x and 6 for the GS5. None of them made the phone boot. Sometimes it showed the Samsung logo, but most often just black screen. I can't boot into recovery either, the same story. I tried twrp, the lights of the buttons were on, but the screen wouldn't turn on. When the phone normally boots with a black screen I sometimes get notifications though. LED flashes sometimes and there's audio.
Anyone having any thoughts how I can fix this? Help is much appreciated!
Hi, I installed OmniROM on my ASUS ZenFone 6 today and it was working well until...
I was changing the lock screen settings when it suddenly went back to the "OMNI" boot animation screen, and then once it reaches the lock screen, it repeats.
I don't think the device is actually restarting, but the boot animation is played in a loop... I think something in lock screen is wrong and it is crashing the entire phone
How do I fix this without wiping the data?
I found the cause of the bug, it happens after selecting a schedule for dark mode in settings. I made a video recording: https://odysee.com/omni-11-dark-theme-scheduled-crash:a
My Note 3 has occasional problems during boot and consistent problems during lock screen.
Occasionally during boot instead of seeing the Samsung logo during startup the screen becomes pixellated and unchanging - i.e. a bunch of random pixels. The phone continues to boot up otherwise and the OS works. To buy-pass the boot problem I need to take the battery out of the phone for about 2 minutes (or more) and it would normally boot fine after that. When it boots up I often see a part of the screen momentarily go pixellated before it starts the usual boot loop.
When the devices boots up fine lock screen has problems. When I turn on lock screen the screen remains black thereafter and soon reboots.
I have SM-N9005 with LineageOS 18.1 +microG + Magisk. I don't think the problem is due to LOS because boot problems existed in the previous OS (Android 5), and lock screen problems occasionally came up. I hoped installing LOS will sort out the problems, but alas... I have tried using an app called Wakelock v3 to sort out the screen lock problems in the same way as for Note 4, but the app seems to have made no difference. Since installing LOS I have not had a single successful lock screen, with or without the app.
Any help or advice appreciated.
