I've never done a "reset" to my phone. Except for full wipe when installing a new room.
when my phone is charged
just for flashing new ROM
how often i powercycle? hmm around 25 times a day or so...
i flash a lot to test
Never! Lol
I reboot mine every 2-3 days or when it feels sluggish and closing apps not helping. Not rooted phone.

Strange problem. My phone freezes on me every 35-40 hours of power on. I need to remove battery and restart the phone for it to work. I could be just be in the app drawer or playing a graphic intensive game the phone would just freeze.
I don't know why this would happen to an otherwise wonderful phone. Snappy fast and great battery otherwise.
I've done the official Sammy firmware upgrade OTA and the phone is stock unrooted
Any clues?

Use Helium, It's an app by Clockwork Mod, It does the same as Titanium backup but doesn't require root
I'm having the same problem it will freeze home button or power button doesn't have to take battery out its a bit annoying!

Try to use without ext sd card if there is any & observe.
Hey guys, I just wanted to share my experience with my SM-N9005 that's a week old today.
When I first unboxed it, it slipped in my sim card and 64GB sdcard and turned the phone on.
During the second or third screen of the wizard, the phone froze and rebooted.
After that, I went through the wizard again with no problems and finally to the homescreen.
I noticed on the status bar that the Play Store is failing to install / recover a whole host of apps and during that, I received that "Prevention Information" nonsense, the phone froze and rebooted after I tapped to see if I can find this app but all it showed me one was app, which was the Play Store services. I assume, maybe the apps failed because the services and Play Store wanted to update.
Well after all of that, there are times when the "Prevention Information" comes up, the phone won't freeze and soft restart (Just show the Samsung logo and come back to the homescreen with one or two vibrations) right away but eventually. There have been instances, where for example, I would be in the BBM for Android app or WhatsApp when this happens and return with no chat history but that happened once or twice, I think there was another instance that I lost information but that might not necesserily be an emmc issue but due to a sudden reboot or freeze without being able to save properly.
I also get a notification toast that I am running low on memory when I have plenty of memory left. (I would start seeing this around and after 10GBs have been used)
Things I have tried:
Factory Reset from the menu option.
Factory Reset from Recovery.
PC ODIN to the very first .tar ROM with corresponding CSC (XME) for my handset.
Removed the sdcard to see if it was that.
Nothing worked but the problems aren't as frequent.
I can't play games for too long because it will soft reboot. The phone does get warm quickly, which is a concern.
I think that's about it, I do love the phone but if this continues and this is a Samsung bug, I might just hold off from sending it back and buy a Nexus 5.
Samsung has been having too many issues with their handsets like faulty emmc chips, sudden bricked phones, multi-touch screen issues, etc.
This will be my last Samsung device either way but I am hoping that there's a fix because if I send it back, that's that.
I'm thinking of returning mine and sticking with the s4 to much hassle I've factory reset my device and left out my 64gb we card and see where it goes from here.

I don't know what is wrong with my Note3 N9005 it restarted by itself without any reason. It happened twice in this week already. I have been using it since the beginning of March bought it brand new on ebay.
The current FW is 4.42. I am suspected the cause is the apps I dowloaded but just don't know which one. Does any one have any ideas?

Hi.
I had same problem - even 2-3 restarts per day. In my case, someone of these apps caused problem (i installed them every time I wipe phone or install firmware, doesn't matter custom or stock).
1. Timely
2. Facebook
3. Facebook Messenger
4. Mx player
5. Plantronics hub
6. Cyberon Voice Commander Pl
Since few days I'm on stock XUENC2 ETL firmware, and I only upgraded stock apps and istalled shazam. In next few days i try to install Cyberon.
I think mx player could be the culprit. I say this because I have 3 different players on my phone. Every now and again when I use them my phone goes into spasm!
It stops paying anything, I lose all sounds then gradually I lose the ability to use my phone until I restart it.
I've had it Sent to Samsung but it returned with same problem.
I now only use one player and as yet it's not done it since. .

Uninstall all apps you installed just before it started? And then re-add them one by one until it starts rebooting again. Then you'll know which.

My N9005 (BTU) was rebooting 3 or 4 times a day 'til I tried this. Worked for me.
System Settings
WiFi
[Capacitive Menu] Advanced
Un-check "Scanning always available"

I am gonna try it. My phone restarted again today and it was sitting inside my belt case I heard the restarting sound, So it was self restarted even it was not in use, wow!
My previous phone was a China made ZOPO ZP990 before that was OPPO Find 5 both didn't do self restart like this and both are cheaper than Note 3 but the Note 3's been giving me the self restarting, lagging even hangs like a computer a few times. I think I should email Samsung and see what they say. Thank you for your idea tho.

I have many posts about this device rebooting randomly and freezing. I believe the problem is the RAM. You see, I don't suffer from this problem anymore, not by unchecking this and removing that or by factory resetting but because I have my phone set to "noop" and "performance" [300-2265] in SetCPU. I did this so that the RAM doesn't really get a chance to "keep" a process running for too long. It forces the phone to do what is has to immediately and with all the necessary processing power is can muster.
Battery life? I get 20+ hours comfortably unless the screen brightness is set too high, which is a "duh" in my opinion.
If you do a search for "freezing" or "random reboots" you will see that you aren' alone.
Sorry for writing it another time, but from my experience, this and other topics with freeze and restart problem, are hard to find.
After few months of crashing, and restarting, I send my Note to service center on warranty with knox 0x1. They changed mainboard. Currently testing, but it seems to be ok right now.
Freeze and rebots, restarts of Note 3 have to be HARDWARE FAILURE
I tired everything, diffrent roms, setcpu settings, with no success.
I have a Galaxy S4 (i9505) and it reboots randomly at random intervals. I had a custom ROM before (Cyanogenmod 4.4.4) and all have worked flawlessly and then suddently, one day, it have begun to have 'super-mega-slowdowns', Force-closes with random aplications. I have flashed the Stock Samsung ROM with Original Kernel and then it worked for half-a-day, after this it has begun to shut off by itself and refused to turn on anymore (Keeping on Model-Screen [Where's te kernel is being initialized] and then shutting off). With all these issues, I have flashed it again and now it works partially good. I can use it normal, but it reboots every ~30 minutes. I can be gaming, it reboots. It can be in my pocket, it reboots. All the time. Recently my 'Nova Launcher' has corrupted by itself and begun to Force-Close. I had to reinstall him. The battery also get down very fast.
What can this be? It's very annoying and I don't have any money to buy a new phone.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: The issues have begun minutes after "smashing" my phone various times on the bed. (Reason for curious guys: My gf breaked up with me....via whatsapp. And then I was a bit angry of this.) My bed is not solid as stone, so I don't think it can be this. The phone is in 'perfect' optical state. No cracked screen or similar.

No, my battery is fine. It's all 'perfectly' fine (optically).
Double flash the stock rom, uncheck auto reboot and turn on after 30seconds.
And then data wipe
If this does not work..
Flash latest CM build for your phone

I have made this twice, trice and nothing helped.
I think my phone is dying.
EDIT: I have made the emmc brickbug check and it have passed.
What it could be? (While writing this, the phone just rebooted itself AGAIN)
Anyone has a solution?
I'm going to download it tonight and test it out. Hopefully, the massive bugs were fixed and we can have OFFICIAL Cyanogenmod 12 on our devices.
I just randomly checked yesterday and noticed it was back. I'm on 03/27 right now and so far, so good.

It seemed to be. Calling, wifi, data (3g and LTE), SMS and MMS were all working for me. I opened Maps and the phone froze, so not sure if GPS is working. I flashed back to another rom though.
GPS works just fine.

CM12 Noob
Nor sure if anyone is still following this post but I installed cm12 a few days ago and the only issue I can reproduce it the Bluetooth cuts out. I can't complain, it's way faster than touchwiz and it does not crash any more frequently. One issue I have noticed is that it doesn't seem to download MMS automatically but I've only noticed it when receiving a group txt in hangouts. I can't seem to find any good discussion groups on cm here on XDA. If anyone has a suggestion, I have a Spring Galaxy S5 and am quite new to flashing as well as forums, but pretty proficient with computers. Any help would be appreciated, Thx
If CM 12 is broken i dont receive calls but can do it, It is best to install MOAR
Bluetooth does not work , the messages are closed every 5 minutes
Need working Sprint Visual Voicemail apk for Galaxy S5 running Fusion Rom
I apologize if I am posting this in the wrong area. I have been running the Fusion Rom on my Sprint Galaxy s5. I love it, but cannot get any voicemails! Have tried a few apks, but no luck. Any info and/or download links would be very much appreciated!!

I just tried the 8/8 build. So far, pretty stable. I did try the full device encryption and it basically borked the installation. I got it to come back by clearing cache a few times (why a few times and not just once? Who knows.) but it was increasingly unstable at that point (random crashes, random boot freezes). I wiped and reinstalled and it's back to stable, so it's definitely the encryption. Going to mess with bluetooth today to see if that's been resolved yet.
Bluetooth still completely doesn't work. I can't even get it to connect. Not quite ready for prime time I guess.
So at this point, not worth trying? no BT? How's the camera?
TN 12.1 latest build
I have been running the 9/26/15 build for three days and am experiencing the worst battery drain since the day this phone came to market.
I am wondering if this is a TN problem or the latest lollipop aosp issue as a whole?
Thanks

So like the title says, I'm a new Nexus 6P user, and I had problems out of the gate.
I bought the device 2nd hand from a guy off craigslist, after my S6 edge started over heating after I had the screen replaced (don't buy Samsung "edge" phones, I know your careful, but on the off chance you drop it, your in a world of trouble).
I tested the phone, before I bought it, it appeared pretty much brand new, everything worked. When I got home, and hard reset it again for good measure all hell broke lose.
After a hard reset the phone wanted to update to build 19 something. After the update and a reboot, the phone app kept crashing before I could finish the setup process. The only thing I could do is factory reset it again. This appeared to clear up that problem. I did the near by device thing, and restored it from what Google could find out about my S6 edge. I wish it was more of a restore like what you can do in the iOS world, but it's better then what we had before so it's cool. I noticed that Chrome would crash everytime you tried to use it only in less I uninstalled the update. After I got the phone to the point where I wanted it, I thought I was free in the clear. When I started trying to use music apps, they all crash. Apple Music, Spotify, Soundcloud. Then I noticed YouTube also crashed the same way. When I tried to make a phone call, the phone app would crash too... So the phone was useless. I downloaded the SDK and the most current build which I think was 20 something. I followed a guide on here and formatted the phone reinstalling everything around build 20. The only thing this fixed was the phone issue.
I could now make phone calls without it crashing, but I was in the same boat with some applications working, and the same ones that didn't work not working. I flashed this phone 5, or 6 times, with the last time me formatting the userdata. I read that it wasn't a good idea because it could lock me to only 32GB ( I had a 64GB version), but after I did the flashing along with the usedata format, I still had 64GB of useable space, however I still had the same issue with the same types of applications crashing. I tried older builds, same issue (also the older builds all had the problem with the phone app crashing to the point that the phone wasn't usable).
I ended up sending the phone to the manufacturer, which appears to be in the same metroplex I live in. Hopefully they can find a hardware problem under warenty and fix it. I'm making this post to see if anyone else ran into similar issues, and if anyone knows if this is a hardware build issue, that was hopefully resolved.
I'm sorry to be so long winded...
