Hey guys,
I don't usually ask questions rather than searching for threads/similar problems and try to fix mine.
But, this one's serious
I've had my Galaxy SIV GT-I9500 for 2 months now. I usually try CyanogenMod and other roms(Omega and Crash)
As I used to do so on my previous android (non Samsung) phones.
Lately I've been having a strange issue that I can't even tell if it's a battery problem or it's a software glitch or a mistake I made before.
The problem is the phone usually stops when using it ... Freezes and then restarts (that's normal but.)
The WEIRD thing is that the phone boots again automatically ... Then a dialog shows that "Your Battery is critically low"
And I'm sure There was more than 90% battery.
Well I tried to figure out why and how to fix it... I found a similar problem but no one found what's the matter.
Things I've tried:
1- Flash Stock System, Kernel and everything else (100% Stock)
2- Flash A custom rom ...
3- Flash another custom rom.
4- wipe data/factory reset
5- Remove SD Card
6- Remove Sim Card
7- Tried Most custom kernels
9- Flash a Modem the right one for my country (Iraq)
Well, None of these helped
The problem usually appears at anytime . Most of it when using the phone not when Idol
Do any of you guys have any Suggestions for me ? or even a fix ?
Thank you ... If I find a solution I'll let you know so that people will benefit.
Thank you XDA
Hi, I never root my phone or flash a custom ROM.
The problems was started when I flashed a new ROM from sammobile of another country, my phone comes with 4.2 and I flashed a 4.3.
I flashed newer ROM from only Vodafone-Spain (only those really are my official supplier), and then I update ever with Samsung KIES, (no Knox counter)
So, with Andorid 4.3 I had more problems than now with 4.4, now the only problem is with WIFI
I can use normally, with screen ON, the problem is when sleep for a long time (more than 1 hour) when I touch a button I see the unlock screen, but does not seem to work the touch screen, and screen go off after a seconds, if I touch other button the screen don't go on. And then, after aprox 30s it reboot itself, and show a window telling that the Process System is not responding, do you want to close?, and two buttons, close or wait.
I tried to start my phone in Secure Mode and I have the same problem, so it is not an app, it is the ROM.
I do at least 2 Factory Reset, but the problem is still there.
I think it is a software problem and not a hardware problem, because the problem start when I update to Android 4.3
I tried the trick WIFI Power save Mode OFF (on dialer, *#0011# -> WIFI -> Power save mode OFF) and never reboot automatically, so the problem I think it is with this power save mode. But if I turn off, when WIFI is ON, the battery drain fast.
In the samsung shop they tell me that first will format my phone to see if the problem solve and try for a time, if not solve, then I have to send by mail... and I will not send it because I know the time it will take to repair it is about 1-2 months and I need the phone for my work.
So is there another solution or something to try?

Since the first ROM (4.2) I flashed 3 or 4 ROMs from SamMobile, so I am not very optimistic. But I don't lost nothing, I will try it
I flash again the ROM, and after 2 days testing, the problem is still there.
Any other thing to try before send to samsung?
Please, give me another idea to try. I really have a problem with WIFI
This is how Wifi (some times) drain my battery when are not connected to a network. But the problem is worst when is connected, because it freeze and reboot.
Hello! You could fix the problem? I took suffering the same problem as your months, and I have not been solved, I'm for kicking the **** mobile! As may give so many problems with the wifi?

Yes I solve. So.. I don't solve it, it solve it self. One day I saw that I don't had wifi connection, then I saw that I don't any WIFI names stored, all was erased automatically, I don't know how.
But the result it, I don't have anymore a freeze or a reboot because wifi. ALL, absolute ALL run fine now. I had a lot of WIFI names stored, about 30-50, maybe this was the problem, a conflict with some of these names, but I'm not sure
No one update, reflash, factory reset, or start in safe mode was solve any problem, the problem solve it self... very strange.
If you try a factory reset, then don't restore all your mobile config. Try to install all apps manually, one by one. I ever restored my backuped config, and I think this was the problem.
Hope you can solve it

Thank you very much for answering so quickly.
Happens to me exactly what you do, but seems to have no solution.
I have tried more than 8 roms, stock or mods, and always fails.
At first I thought it would issue the modem or kernel, but after many tests, I do not ****ing know what is causing the problem.
I'm running out of solutions, anyway thanks for telling your case...
I'm glad that in the end one way or another, you have it fixed.
:good:

What happens when you fully wipe, flash a 4.4.2 rom, don't restore anything, not even your google account and don't install any apps.

Thanks for your interest! The truth is that it is very strange ...
If I remember correctly, already try what you mention me, but I kept going ... It's like at some point something had happened which change roms not seem to solve..
I'm considering installing a rom with 4 files and pit file, but do not know if this will help in something
Let's see if I can come up with the bug because it is becoming a pain in the ass
:good:
I would try what say Lenny1988. So the only change before solution and after solution, was a big crash on WIFi drivers/app/modem (don't sure) it self, and was deleted all my stored wifi access points that I had. It was a problem related to Wifi power save, if I disabled it then I had no reboots/freezes.
So, I would try a factory wipe and DON'T restore anything, and try for a couple days. If work, then you know a way to solve it.
Tell us if it works.
Hello there! I will update with the latest news!
I tried the recommended advice, but no luck...Not seem to affect him leave without restoring.
The only thing that seems to work and keep it running, is to disable wifi power saving system
you know....
Code:
1. Go to your phone dialer
2. Dial *#0011#
3. When you see the "ServiceMode" screen, press the left menu button
4. Select "WiFi"
5. See that "Wifi Power Save Mode" button that is "ON" - well turn it "OFF"
But this way drain your battery much faster,so it does not seem a good solution to the problem.
Curiously, the same phone, some people suffer this problem and others do not....
It may be hardware? or software?
If I find something, I'll note here.
Regards
I installed CyanogenMod earlier tonight to try and solve some problems with my auto brightness and screen rotation not working. With the installation I figured I would have at least the google store to work with to install all needed apps. When looking for it I noticed I do not even have data connected anymore. I try to make a phone call and nothing, it says I do not have a SIM card in so I cannot do anything with the phone really. If I can just go back to stock firmware I would be perfectly fine with that, I just want my phone to work haha.
My model is SM-G900F and its the Sprint version, I have looked for the stock firmware to install but I haven't found the exact model install and I do not want to waste three hours on an install thats not even for my nations model....
If anyone have had the problem with CyanogenMod and knows how to fix it I will take that too I, or any other custom roms that may work.
**EDIT**
If I download this Rwilco12's mod and do a clean install wipe cache wipe everything and install that firmware will I get my data back do you believe?
I have an extremely persistent set of problems:
1. Unable to record video
- stock camera freezes and the phone restarts (no matter the resolution or storage)
- other camera apps (mx, open, google..) either freezes or acts like its recording but it doesn't
2. While playing some videos, the phone freezes and restarts (in 90% its instagram videos, but sometimes it plays them fine)
What i tried:
- a bunch of roms. The problems probably started with some of them.
- returned to a stock lolipop
- several custom and stock kernels
- a bunch of camera apps
Currently i'm on Audax rom v26.1 with its audax kernel.
Does anyone have idea what could i try?
Could it be a hardware problem? (other than that, camera works fine)
Thanks in advance.
So I solved it by:
Using Odin 3.11.1
I have already tried Factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, flashed the latest stock Lolipop or older lollipop with ODin and nothing solved the problem.
So I tried to flash the latest stock lolipop with Odin and marking checked (Auto Reboot , F. Reset Time , Phone EFS clear, Phone Bootloader update).
I suspect that the Phone EFS clear did the trick. It's function is related to the modem and radio of the phone. And clearly the modem has a problem here.
I hope this will help anybody out there having this issue.
This problem happened after trying to flash lollipop using FlashFire app to reserve the root that I had in my previos Android KK 4.4.2.

Hi there,
Sorry, but did not face any issue like that before.
If you have searched a lot for a solution and could not solve it, I suggest that you install this ROM:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/purify-cm-13-hlte-n9005-unofficial-cm13-t3337234
This happened to me once after a terrible mistake , which is not related to my above issue. Then I installed this ROM and never looked back. Much snappier phone, lower battery usage and less heated device. I just love it. The only thing that I missed, the better camera app in the stock ROM, and the TouchWiz ability to show multiple apps at the same time.
I strongly suggest that you do a Nandroid backup then give this ROM a try. If you did not like it, you can always return to the Nandroid backup again.
You are frustrated now, like I was. Take a deep breath, and remember that we all went through such bad times with our phone, not just you. This is part of the experience of using such complicated devices. You will solve it eventually, believe me!
When switching to my second sim for mobile data, my phone starting to get hot and reboots my phone. When I change to GSM only, phone doing just fine, but with E speed, its too slow. When going to HSDPA speed, phone starts to reboot. Hm.
Please help!

hi, i use cm13 nightlies rom ever since until now...
sometime, if i apply OTA update the phone went wrong (reboot itself, hot or battery drain fastly).
it will happen right after the OTA or when i update installed apps.
BUT the problem always fixed when i do a clean flash...
So, i suggest u do a clean flash to observe the symptom.
if clean flash doesn't fix your problem, so there may be a bug which u can consult in the thread...
If you have any custom kernel installed then reflash the rom and don't use custom kernel , If you have installed any mods over your rom then please remove those too ...
other than that random reboot won't happen , also for Data internet connection problem , check your APN , set only one APN as default , wipe cache and dalvik cache to get good results if facing random reboots .

It only working for good 2-3 hours when on mobile data, then my phone reboot. I need to turn on airplane mode or use wifi.. Yes, I already did clean flash.
Set only one APN as default? So i need to delete the APN in other sim?
