Hi all. I updated my galaxy 5 a couple of days ago to the latest lollipop and since then when i make or receive a call it keeps intermittently cutting out. One minute i am listening and the next it goes dead then voices come back for a minute then it goes dead again and so on. I have spent hours trawling through posts but can find no answers or help.
Has anyone experienced this or had the same problem?
Thanks for reading this

Try booting to recovery and clear the caches before resetting

Hi, im just wondering if anyone is having this problem. Im on an I9505 and am getting some horrible crashes. Im struggling to pin point what is causing it as it happens at random times. Sometimes I can go days with no problem but then out of the blue it will crash. What happens when it crashes is the bad bit though. It goes into a boot loop, it starts, displays samsung screen, goes into animation, stops halfway and then reboots again.
I have to take the battery out for a few mins and it usually restarts.
I have tried pretty much every firmware there is and it does it with everyone.
Ive tried restoring to factory, wiping cache etc.
Im now at the point of returning the phone as ive pretty much had enough now but i thought id throw it out there and see if anyone else is having this problem.
Im now in the process of reflashing back to MDM and trying one last time.
Someone please Help
I have never had such problems. It crashed once, but it was my fault so it doesn't count. If you have tried everything, then probably the phone is messed up and giving it back to the shop is the right decision to make.

Before heading to shop flash original firmware+kernel
use triangle away to reset binary count (version3 works with stock kernels)

Yeah all done and now sent away to Samsung. The guy in carphone warehouse said to be honest, he has had quite a few back with several types of issues especially overheating. He also said that considering the high value of the handset, Samsung would be very unlikely to try and fault find the problem and would most likely send me a new one. Should take a week to two weeks.

Just to keep you up to date. Phone is still with Samsung, will be two weeks tomorrow but repair tracker says they are waiting fr parts they do not keep in stock so im guessing it was broken some how, Damn annoying though, im paying a contract for a phone I havent got. Ill let you know when I get it back.
Good morning everyone !
Since about a week, every time i get out of the network (i'm living in a small village) my Nexus 4 keeps vibrating every 10-15 mins.
I already search in the settings but i didn't find anything that shut this off.
I'm using the PACman rom and if anyone got the same problem and solved it, I would like to know the solution
Thanks a lot !
Evening all!,
Wondering if anyone else is having this issue with their note 3?
(i have the EU Snapdragon 800 version - sim free)
Everytime i turn my bluetooth on, it picks up on all devices in the area and connects fine.
HOWEVER... after around 5-10 mins, even if using the relevant bluetooth device, The Note 3 just turns bluetooth off and severs the connection, forcing me to manually turn it on again....
its currently driving me batty!! as i cant use my MOGA pro pad to play any games without it just dropping half way through and when playing music through my headset or speaker, it just stops the music dead...
this is nigh on a device breaking issue for me but coudl just be me doing something stupid (spent a good long while searching forums and cant find anything).
anyone else have this? or able to fix it?
cheers all!!
OK - I have just sat down and timed it... almost at EXACTLY 15 MINS, Bluetooth turns itself off if connected to ANY device. just had music playing through a bluetooth speaker - 15 mins - speaker gives disconnect noise and BT now off on device.
with the amount of bluetooth devices i use, this is making the phone almost un-useable. gotta wait till monday before i can talk to anyone at samsung and pretty sure they wont have a clue or will just ask for the phone to be sent away...
ANYWAYS. ill keep an eye on here if ANYONE can give any pointers as to what this might be?.
cheers again and hope to hear from you all
UPDATE - tried same speaker setup again right after and bluetooth quit out after 27 mins this time so it isnt consistent every time it gives up... this is sooo frustrating....
Is it possible you have a bum BT radio in your GN3?

Ive been messing around with it today and came to actually fix the problem by mistake!.
its the old "I.T Crowd" solution ...
i turned it off, turned it on again and problem fixed!..
proper weird, though that was the first time i have turned the device off since buying so must've just been a bit twitchy.
either way, happy as Larry now!

I am having the same issues now that you described earlier. I have had this phone since the beginning of October and no issues at all until about 3 days ago when BT started shutting down constantly. I have not timed it specifically but it is in the 10 to 15 minute rnage when it forces me to turn it back on. This is driving me nuts.
I have shut it off and turned back on with no luck. powered it off, removed the battery, let sit for a while and repeat. Same issue although at times it seems to be inconsistent. I did get the new Sony SmartWatch 2 so I am constantly loosing connection and reconnecting manually with it. I have had that for 2 weeks but only started having issues a few days ago.
Any other ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!
Did you try wiping cache partition?
BT switches off exactly every 3 minutes
I've tried rebooting and switching off and on again to no avail!
Hi all I have a Samsung s8+ on Vodafone UK and have got the same problem as many people out here device freezes and then reboots out of nowhere after reading endless comments on it and not getting anywhere I noticed that my phone freezes and reboots 9 out of 10 times when I'm outside and it's cold now I was wondering if anyone else has found that when there outside and have their device out it does this? Quick example I walked to the gym today which is a 10 min walk and on the way there it did it once then on my way back it did it twice now whilst being at the gym it didn't do it and being back home now for about 3 hours it hasn't happened once. Imo it's the hardware but I want to know if anyone else experienced it in this way or maybe this will trigger a lightbulb moment and we get a solution.
Thanks guys.
Quick edit: I have tried the hard reset, the factory reset, smart switch, got the latest update and device is 3 months old

Why do you think it's the hardware?
Flash a new stock rom using Odin. Get the latest version for your device and carrier.

Because it only seems to happen outside I went from last nights post to this morning without reboot but as soon as I stepped outside within 10 min it happened then I tried replying to this post and it happened again so yeah done this reply twice. I'm currently inside and it hasn't happened. I don't know if it's the battery is being sensitive to temperature changes after the exploding ones but I don't seem to have this problem indoors I was outside for roughly 25 min and it rebooted twice consistent with other times now I have read a comment of a guy describing the same problem and he had his motherboard replaced and the phone seemed to be working fine after that but there has not been an update after that so I'm not sure if that was a long term solution.
I have searched everywhere and tried every connection fix I could think to try but I cannot find the answer. Short of buying a new phone, I am running out of hope.
My international S8 on T-Mobile has up until now given me zero issues. The last month it has been acting up though. It is almost always unwilling to send phone calls and when it works the connection beep takes like 10-15 seconds before it works.. on the other end, people who call me say my phone goes straight to voicemail.
I have manually input connection settings. I full unrooted and clean installed factory firmware and I made sure it was not something as simple as being in 'do not disturb' mode. I am out of ideas and need your help. Thank you in advance anyone who may have some ideas!!!

I had the same issue.
Go to phone dialer and dial *#0011#.
when the screen comes up look to see if it says MIPI_Fail or something to that effect.
If it does then your radio is bad. This is a hardware problem. I had to send mine to the service center and they replaced the MB.
Good Luck
How you guys got in this in first place?

After update to Oreo phone showed no connection. Tried all the usual fixes and still had an X in signal bars.
I figured the dialer still worked the same as my Note 3 so I gave it a shot. It worked and went into service mode. That is where it said MIPI-Fail. Googled it and found out that means the radio is bad. Off to Samsung it went.:good:
