Hallo all! I really HOPE someone might help me with a really annoying issue:
I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S4 Black-Edition (Modelnumber: GT-I9505). From day one I rooted the phone
(CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.tar.md5)
but still use the samsung stock Rom. My Android version is 4.4.2 and I had the genuine firmware-version I9505XXUGNF1 from the Samsung homepage (sammobile).
.. Everything has been working perfectly for about a month, but then suddendly my phone startet to turn off and on again randomly by itself. Note that the turning on is much quicker then the regular booting-up (after I properly shut the system down) and that the autonomious turning on does not require the PIN-code.
I tried to fix this problem by:
- removing the external Memory-Card,
- removing the sim-card,
- deinstalling busybox,
- completly whiping the system (via TeamWin recovery) and installing EVERYTHING from scrach (no Backup-restoring) --> tried this four times!,
- installing the latest firmware-version I9505XXUGNG2,
- changing the battery,
- COMPLETLY canging the device: (installing EVERYTHING from scrach (no Backup-restoring) on a completly new device (new Galaxy S4 Black-Edition)) --> same problem!
--> NOTHING WORKED OUT!!!! So I'm REALLY annoyed about that!
Note, that after a complete restoring of the system, the phone works perfectly for some days - maybe 4-3 - and then the turning-off-and-on terror returns.
I put a screenshot of my battery-trajectory as an attachment. You can see two vertical lines indicating that the phone has turned itself off for a short ammount of time.
Does anyone have an idea what could be the cause for that issue? Is there anyone sharing the same problem? What could I try to solve that problem? Is there mayby a taskmanager-app logging systemerrors, so I could check, what happened before the turning off?
I'm VERY thankful for any sort of help!

Hi Mate,
Not saying this is your problem but i seen some people having issues with the power button , symptoms are similar to your random reboots like in constant reset....check the power button see if is stock and easy way to check is try to go to recovery without pressing the power button.....if is really stuck or short out you should be able to go to recovery without ( for a short time) ....that will prove that the problem is coming from there...
Of course if is very sporadic wait until is happening for testing ..
I had the same problem before because I disabled knox using supersu. What I did was delete all knox related apps and everything is good.
Many users had this problems with Knox as well. Try to uninstall everything relating to Knox, maybe it will work

Well.. What can I say? Thank you SOOOO MUCH!! The problem is solved! Indeed, deleting all Knox-Entries via Titanium Bakup really solved the problem. Now, everything is fine and the system runs smoothly. Again, thank you very much!

Hi PIMPL
am curious about this because today my S4 started to do random shuts off. So your phone never showed the problem again after uninstalling all the Knox stuff? I have an I9500 Android 4.4.2; everything stock, non rooted.
Thanks!

I have the same issue at the moment - Phone is completely standard (Not rooted). All has been good until the morning of the 30th August when there was a new firmware update applied. I had already had the Kit Kat update earlier in August and the phone had been working with no issue, since this 220Mb odd 'patch' the phone will just randomly reboot, I say random but it just seems after it has been idle (Screen off) for a while on unlocking I can start an app (pretty much anything) and about 5 seconds later the phone will reboot. As the OP mentioned it is a faster than normal reboot and it doesn't play the normal start up sound either.
I am not sure what the update did, it mentioned ironically that it was fixing stability issues!!! - Is there a way without rooting the phone to roll back the firmware to before the patch?
Cheers.
Factory reset worked too
I have been struggling with a similar problem on my GT-I9505 since receiving a system update on May 30, 2014 -- random reboots many times a day, plus fairly reliable reboots about 30-40 seconds into any received phone call. I tried cleaning caches, uninstalling recently installed apps and then other unneeded apps, installing new updates, and lots of other things. My last resort was rooting and removing Knox as suggested here. But first I tried a factory reset, and it worked! I've now gone several days without an unintentional reboot. It's a pain to have to restore backups and reinstall apps, but it was worth it. I hope this information is helpful to someone.
Issues on my CF auto-rooted GT i9505
My firmware is the stock I9505XXUGNG8-DBT and rooted with CF Auto-root.and Phill''s CWM.
1. When I wake up my phone by pushing the home button my first screen is frozen until I push the home button again for 2 or 3 seconds. Only since then I can use my apps.
2. By incomming phone calls my phone reboots and I lose contact, so they have to call me again, Then everything is well.
3.The time on my homescreen doesn''t synchronize until I push the home button for the second time waking up the phone .
I already used SSCF Xposed. That didn''t help.
Somebody the same issues. Or somebody who got some tips for me.

I guess this will help. Knox often causes this issues. Just uninstall everything relating to Knox with Titanium Backup

I'm having the same problem as OP.
I've frozen all Knox related apps in Titanium Backup, but the problem persists. Do I need to fully delete the apps do you think? Is there a difference?

I think I solved my problem: I deleted all Knox related items and when I rebooted my phone again it stucks on the Samsung logo. I installed the stock I9505XXUGNG8-DBT again with Odin. Installed CF Auto-root.and Phill''s CWM again. Installed Supersu again.
Now everything is working again without the frozen screen, time synchronizes and no booting by incoming phone call anymore.
Hello,
I have a very strange problem:
On my galaxy S4 I9505 android version 4.3 if there is a video player available then the app goes stuck, the apps:
- Youtube
- Facebook (app and browser)
- Browser
The videoscreen stays black and the app goes stuck for a while, the video will never play.
The other similair problem if someone call me or if I want to call someone the phone got stuck as well.
I already tried:
- wipe data and cache / factory settings
- wipe full data to install new rom in philz touch recovery
- Install new rom (4.4 and custom 5.0 lollipop)
The problem remains..
Everything else works perfect but this are 2 important thing what needs to work.
Someone have a Idea?
Important to report: I was on custom lollipop and I downgrade it with the downgrade files on this topic because 4.3 has mirrorlink support for my new car.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2792516&highlight=downgrade
That problems appears when you try to downgrade your device. Reflash stock android 4.4.2 and your problems will be gone :highfive:
Thanks! Tried a few times to flash it back to this stock rom and 4 times failed! Used differtent versions of odin. 3.09, 3.07, 3.04 and some older one 1.85 or something.
I stopped for a half hour (Phone turned off half hour) tried it again and it worked. Very strange but it works.
Thanks very much!
[Q] I9505 Lollipop - no internet - tons of "stopped" errors - Recovery: No Command!
Hello again! After my wifi problem on Kitkat which was solved by reflashing several times (as suggested by a forum user ) I tried flashing to lollipop (5.0.1) which worked out perfectly, no problem this time. I flashed lollipop and rooted on friday and during the whole weekend everything worked perfectly. The phone was fast and smooth, no lags and no errors.
Today I woke up and as soon as I tried to use the phone I got tons of "unfortunately stopped" error messages. Things that give the error: Youtube, gmail, google,play store,bluetooth,samsung account, and a long etc. the camera does not work either and I can't connect to internet using WIFI nor mobile data.
As soon as I dissable mobile data and WIFI the errors go away, and everything seems ok. but of course without camera nor internet which makes my phone useless. (can only receive phone calls, which I tested)
EDIT: Seems like I found another Symptom/Error: I can't see the files in my Sd card nor the internal storage since I'm on a "fresh" factory reset System I only have access to the built in "My FIles" app and it shows "No files" on the internal storage, and does not even show the external sd card. I tried using an OTG cable (Which worked fine before all this happened) and it recognizes there is a usb drive connected but "My Files" shows the same: "No Files" even though the usb stick works fine and has several files.
Searched the forum but could not find this particular problem where all the errors come from turning on any kind of internet access (which does not work anyway, since besides the errors I can't connect to internet neither on wifi nor using mobile data)
I tried Factory Reset twice and as soon as it starts reinstalling the "system" I start getting those same tons of errors and If I try using my wifi password to connect to internet it can't go past the samsung account or google account step, it stays there giving errors on a loop. So I try setting up the wifi "Later" and it's able to complete the factory reset, but without fixing anything. No camera, no wifi, no mobile data, as as soon as I try to connect to the internet I start getting all those error and almost any imaginable app (of the freshly factory reseted S4)
I think I'll try reflashing it as soon as I get home from work, but would it help???
Any ideas?? has someone else had this problem before?
If reflshing does not work could I try downgrading to kitkat?
Did my phone died this time for ever???

Good day, This is my first time ever posting a thread on this site and new to custom ROMs on Android devices. I currently have Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (T-Mobile) and a friend suggest I flash it with some custom ROMs. I did, indeed, tried all the compatible ROMs for this phone and they all boot up find (despite the long hang time after finishing the boot setup), but I ran into some problems after doing everything, step-by-step, correctly. I've done light research on how to fix these issues but was afraid if my phone may brick again and do another Emergency Recovery using Samsung Smart Switch. To get to the point, the following issues that are occurring are these below,
- WiFi continuously says "Wifi turning on" and never stops
- Settings will sometimes crash when entering "Security" and then backing out of it
- Camera quality remains blur and can't find any settings to get the camera to focus properly
- LTE/Mobile Data does not apply on boot (when restarting or turning it on) and it requires to fully reboot again
- Uninstalling a application forces the phone to do a soft reboot
- Sometimes multiple background apps will pop-up a error message stating, "Unfortunately, (App) has stopped"
I currently have the Resurrection Remix v5.7.1 (which is the latest I've found) build on the phone, but at the moment using Stock Marshmallow as I'm witting this. If there is anyone on the forums that can help me resolve these issue so i can have a stable flashed ROM, I would greatly appreciated the help. Thanks for your time and have a bless day.

Did you have all of these issues on every ROM that you flashed or just a specific ROM?

Hi,
I always thank you for nice information. I almost fixed my phone myself with the help of xda forum, only after I have "googled".
But this time, there's a problem I can't find the solution.
My Note 4 suddenly had few problems. After I had paired a Bluetooth game controller, and tried to change some Input option, the "setting app" just crashed. "Unfortunately Setting has stopped" was what I read. Since that point, every time when I try to go to the Bluetooth settings, it crashed.
After searching, I found that it could be fixed when I "reset" the network information, so I did it. I just got a blank list of Bluetooth and Wifi connection but however I could connect all my devices again… except this controller. As soon as this controller(with a specific name) connects, the setting began to crash again.
So my solution? Just not using the controller.
But after a while, I just got an another bug on the settings app. There is a shortcut for 9 items. After I added only 2 more shortcuts (so totally 7) the + button was disappeared.
It didn't bother me that much.
but... it now bothers me, after I have done the factory reset.
The same symptoms still there. I also did Odin Flash of the newest Firmware(which was already flashed over OTA) which I downloaded from Sammobile and did the wipe data/factory reset again.
Still the same bugs. With that controller, I never have a chance, and also the + button disappears after have added 2 or 3 shortcuts.
So I am really sure that the "settings app" is corrupted. But flashing the firmware didn't help. And even I flash with Odin again and again, the "user data" are still there. So I think this does not flash completely and there is somewhere in the phone a corrupted data for the settings.apk or the corrupted settings.apk is not being replaced or like that.
Is there any possibility to "force" ODIN to completely reflash the phone?
How do the Repair center flash? I thought they also use ODIN...
Any idea and suggestion?
Ok, I found the "answer" myself.
I just downgraded to the latest 5.1.1 firmware and the problem was gone.
But after I just upgraded again to the 6.0, setting app just shut down again because the bluetooth joystick was on the list.
I just upgraded without factory reset.
So it means that must be a firmware issue. No idea if it has to do with mainboards produced in a certain week or with the "name" of this gadget, which causes some crash in the marshmallow settings app.
Ok, now I just wanted to reboot the phone and it has a bootloop. hmm… No idea what's wrong.
