My YUREKA reboots every time I install or uninstall any app from third party or play store.
I am facing this problem from 2-3 days.
The phone hangs till the screen goes off and then directly boot animation comes to the screen.
During this time period no suspicious apps installed but only several themes from third party sources.
Both Internal and External (16 GB) Memory has more than 5 GB free space.

Help, anyone experiencing the Wizard crashing on boot? It seem that it will always crash unless i try not to make it goes standby while it is booting. E.g. pressing the button or touching the screen.
This is pretty irritating as when i boot my phone, it takes about 3 minutes. Could it be because I load too many programs and it just hangs when it goes standby?
I have the samething, I think the problem is the backlight and the standby time ....
I think it's because of Today Plugins installed in a storage card. I've moved all applications (SPB Plus,PhoneAlarm) to device memory and the problem gone away
Perhaps you are right I will try moving my spb plus today plugin moved to the device, they actually tell you not to put it on the card when you install it, but I still did :0)
Is it resolved ?
I've had my Galaxy Tab (Verizon edition) now for under a week. Naturally, that means I've been installing apps on it every day.
Last night an issue cropped up that turns out to be a deeper problem than I thought.
To start, I'd randomly see a force close for the built-in Google Maps app. Force closes aren't necessarily unusual, but this was force closing every 10 seconds or so. And it wasn't running. No sign of it in any of the task manager or application manager or running services areas. Yet, it was crashing.
(Don't worry, the fun doesn't end there.)
So, I suspected the last couple of apps I installed and uninstalled them (more on this later). The problem didn't go away. Around this time, other apps started crashing randomly -- often without a force close (much more like how iOS apps crash -- a return to the home screen).
The crashing always coincides with a single short vibrate then a triple-vibrate about 5 seconds later when the app closes or the force close dialog comes up. This happens in nearly any app -- from the home screen (less common) to the Browser, maps, settings, gmail, 3rd party apps, etc.
But wait, there's more...
I wasn't observant enough the first time to notice that the suspected apps were never uninstalled. Now no app will actually install. When I perform the uninstall, everything seems fine. Until I reboot. Then the app is back, fully functional.
None of the apps are installed to the SD card. The device is not rooted. The device claims just over a gigabyte of internal memory free, and slightly under half the SD card free.
Anyone see any of this behavior? I'm hoping to avoid doing a factory reset -- while also unsure that it would even do anything if something else is wrong. And the two issues (crashing and uninstalls-not-sticky) aren't necessarily related.
This isn't my first Android device, either... I haven't seen this or anything like it on the G1, N1, Droid, Evo, Archos, or any other device, for that matter.
Thoughts? Ideas? Musings? Questions?
[Update: Device was replaced. If it wasn't a hardware problem, it was still good enough to prompt the retailer to replace it. They easily accepted, "The factory reset doesn't work." as a reason.)
Sounds to me like there is something wrong with the internal memory chip. I would return the device within the DOA warranty if I were you.
Seems that it probably is a hardware issue.
I tried a factory reset (which appears to be a very convenient way to boot in to recovery mode, BTW) and it was only able to delete a portion of data. All of the apps are still there, all the data, etc. (The SD card aside, the factory wipe doesn't touch that.)
So, back it goes for exchange!
I just started having the same problem today and I have not installed any new apps although I did update date my existing apps a few days ago. My phone is rooted but by your discription that's not the cause.
I did reset my phone and I formated my SD memory. I also use a code that I found to reset the phone to factory and reset everything. Non of this has solved the problem.
I'm still trying and I'll let you know it I have any positive results.
I'm on a Galaxy S Vibrant with 2.2 Firmware, Froyo and a 2.6.32.9 kernel
Guys , i have been facing a strange issue on my Note 3 (SM-N900 running stock JB 4.3 , not rooted) .....Whenever an application acts funny i.e whenever there is an Force Close of an app & thereafter when i switch off my device & restart the phone keeps on rebooting till i open the back cover & remove the battery & reinsert it !!!
Is this normal ?? I installed my favorite LWP "Ditalix" (purchased premium stuff through in-app purchase to make it ad-free)....I was changing a few settings in that LWP & i experienced a black-screen issue (something must have gone wrong) , i had to switch off my device & on restarting , the phone went crazy & kept on rebooting till i removed the battery & reinserted !!!
Today i reset my device to factory settings , formatted my External SD Card (someone told me that it could be one of the reasons for reboot)...I have purchased "Beautiful Widgets Pro" ( very popular set of widgets available on play store ) & i installed it & i was downloading a few clock & weather themes via in-app facility & i experienced FC a couple of times , thereafter i again shut down & restarted my device & this time the device started after 1 extra reboot , i rechecked & the same thing happened again ....I uninstalled "beautiful widgets pro" & again repeated the process & this time it started on single reboot .....One more odd thing happened this time , usually on restarting the device the "multi-tray button" appears on the left side of the device but now it doesn't , i have to long-press back-button to make it appear......
Is everything ok with my device ???
Known problem plaguing a bunch of people. There are a couple threads - look for "rebooting". For example:

[Q] Reboot cycle after restart help
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317
Was just about to post a thread similar... Besides the random reboots and bootloops..... too many apps FC. I never had a phone where so many of my apps FC. Nova Launcher force closes about 2-3 times a day. Alot of apps instantly FC upon opening.
My stock S7 exhibits random reboot behavior. 1-2x per week. Once in a while it happens 2x in one day. Once it a while it happens at the most inopportune time, like when I'm trying to take a picture of an event. When the reboot occurs usually it boot loops several times (and the phone gets warm while this is happening) and then finally stops. For the first year or so of owning the phone, no reboot problems. I did see the unmounted SD card notification issue that others reported (with a Samsung SD card). A while after the nougat update and after the 1 yr warranty period of course....random reboots. Also after the boot loops stop and I'm able to use my phone again, my Spotify login is lost and I have to re-download my playlists that I had saved locally. This is a real PITA if I'm traveling and not near any wifi connection.
Any ideas?
I've done the following:
- factory reset twice
- removed the SD card, not using it anymore -> I could consistently get the phone to reboot when scrolling through my pics in google photos. I do not get this behavior anymore with the sd card removed
- install a minimal amount of apps
I've read countless search results from Google search results and nothing has solved my problem. I'm past the 1 yr warranty period. I called a local shop and was told the cost of replacing the mainboard pretty high, I'm better off just getting a new phone...which I would like to avoid. Today I disabled the built in weather app to never refresh. I have little hope that this will fix my problem, we'll see.
I don't have any launcher apps. No games. Basic apps like Bank of America, Evernote, Flixster, Spotify, Swiftkey, Todoist, Logitech Harmony, etc. I disabled the built in Amazon app and installed the Amazon app from the google play store.
I have the same problem. Also after almost 1 year I am now getting random reboots. Especially but not exclusively uwhen using google maps. Mine is still under warranry.
Update: did a factory reset via recovery, working fine again.
Overnight while charging, my phone decided to bootloop until the battery died. Woke up to a warm phone that would not power on for about 20 min. I put the phone on a gel ice pack and now it's finally on. Uninstalled and disabled a bunch of apps, always on display, bluetooth etc. Just need this thing to stay alive until I can trade it in for the new Pixel.
Restored a rooted G5 Plus back to stock firmware (re-locked bootloader). After restoring a number of apps the phone now freezes for 10 to 30 seconds after clearing the lock screen to access the device then every 20 to 40 minutes the same issue crops up again. Is there any way to figure out which app is the cause without going through another lenghty process of restoring to stock and reloading apps one at a time? Like a way to view some sort of log files that show which app is freezing or consuming all phone resources? Or an app that will do the same?
A few times I've had calls disconnect, listening to music freezes for short periods of time, and the System UI or what ever app is open will also freeze because of this.
And a second issue cropped up as well post restore to stock, getting a "Updating Bluetooth Context" notification that pops up briefly and disappears from time to time. Searching doesn't seem to indicate a solid root cause to this (like an app) but seems to be something some have had crop up.
