OK, This is really irritating me. Let me start by saying that none of the special functions are enabled. Such as smart stay/motions and gestures/air view/dexteritity and interaction (ARE ALL OFF) I've restarted the phone. Cleared the cache by shutting off phone and holding power+volume up+home button. The phone is the verizon SM-G900V running version 5.0 The phone is NOT rooted. I don't have any third party applications that have them special features enabled. I'm at a loss of what is causing this. Any ideas? I'm trying to avoid a factory reset.
Factory reset?

Mature response...
You realise that's kinda your last option right? - Instead of posting childish pictures of star trek, why not stop and consider it for a moment, you seem to think you have tried everything else
But if you know better...
I think my response fits. I said in my original post trying to avoid factory reset. And then you come back with factory reset? As if I didn't just mention I know that's an option that I'm trying to avoid.. I didn't say I tried everything. I said I tried all I know. Doesn't mean someone on here might not have an idea that I don't know of. Way to make me out to be the bad guy for replying to your first sarcastic response though.
Your response fits on a forum for 5 year olds, not XDA
You have already stated you have disabled ALL gestures etc, and cleared caches, so the only thing left is a bug in the OS (or a rogue app, which no doubt you have checked...) - which a factory reset 'should' fix
and if it doesn't - you know it's a hardware fault
Suck it up, we have to reset our phones sometimes to fix bugs
You really don't hear yourself talking do you? I belong on a forum for 5 year olds? Yet you took the first stab. Logic. Oh well. No sign of intelligent life here. I'm out.
Umm.. I suggested a factory reset, you posted a childish image...
Who took the first stab?
Anyway, good idea, doesn't sound like you're ready for these forums if your 2nd post is a meme...

just try reset dude, just backup your data because that is your last option, well this is xda and not a forum for meme, please don't use that picture to respone...
Without being rooted you may find it difficult to sort this issue. Even rooted finding the cause could be problematic. I doubt anyone has spent the time and effort to fix such issues, when a factory reset is much easier, apart from setting up everything again.
Maybe try enabling and disabling all "extra" functions. If that doesn't work, try clearing the cache and dalvic after doing this. Else try flashing the same firmware you are using with no wipes, should keep all data intact. Maybe try a cache wipe when doing so.
Factory reset could be an option though, but it's understandable you don't want to go that route because without root backing up your data could be an issue. Best of luck.
Thanks for the real answer. I've never flashed without rooting in the process etc. I used Odin when I did it. Is it actually possible without root? I mean I'd love to have root on this. But it seems like the bootloader is still locked and I figure it will be for another couple of months until marshmallow rolls out. But yeah back to what you said. Not even sure where I'd get the firmware from for this exact s5 since a lot of versions exist from what I hear. But I'll turn on and off all the extra things then clear cache and dalvik. And then take battery out for a bit. Now that I read what you said again flash firmware without a wipe? I admit I didn't even know that was possible.
This happened to me and I managed to fix it very easily and believe it or not it also reduced battery use by almost 50%.
Below is a list of steps I took.
1. Take the battery out and after 10 secs put it back in with the phone off.
2. Put your phone back on and in safe mode.
3. In safe mode take out a cabbage from your fridge and put a leaf on the battery.
4. Now with the cabbage leaf on wrapped around the battery put it under your pillow when you sleep.
5. Repeat step 4 three more times every night.
6. After the third time the battery fairy will come and fix your phone with magic from the battery surprisingly
7. Boom your screen will no longer come on and a nice gift of saving 50% battery too.
Enjoy.

Google Search Samsung firmware this is where you'll find all the firmwares for the S5 . Downloads phone info from Play Store this will tell you what firmware you are currently running. I find you can flash with Odin and all your data is still there as long as you're using a matching firmware.

Hi Guys!
Whenever I remove the battery of my XDA2, it keeps on hard resetting the phone. No matter how quick I replace my battery.
Noticed this problem only a week back. When I noticed this 1st I did it 2nd time also and replaced battery in 3 seconds but samething happened. Lost all the data, starting from the scratch and installs OS.
Is this something serious or is there anything that I can do to solve this problem? Can anyone help?
As the memory is RAM I guess this is normal, you should back up yor device with ActiveSync before removing your battery.
I use Sprite Backup as it is quicker, and it stores all the data to your SD card so you don't need a PC to restore your device.
Hope this helps you.

Your advice about using Sprite Backup is goof, but IT IS NOT NORMAL for the XDA II to hard reset whenever the battery is changed. The XDA II contains a backup battery precisely to be able to maintain the data while the battery is changed.

Well, in my imate, some times I remove the battery to replace the SIM card, hard reset never happens! some times I keep the battery out for 15 minutes or 20 minutes, and still; the imate is normal and hard reset does not take place.
I'm not sure if your case is due to a software or a hardware problem. Does your back-up battery show "full" in the Power Setting?
Quoting the obvious.....!!!
You probbably have a problem with your Backup Battery..
I assume when you check "Start menu/settings/system/power"
that the backup battery shows fully charged........??
Otherwise if still under guarantee.... get it checked out... pronto...!!!

My backup battery looks OK. At least it shows "battery power remaining 100%" which is ok I assume.
Removing battery even frequently didn't lose any of my data earlier.
Thanks guys!

mine hardresets as well !!!
ermm .. was this problem ever solved ???
cos mine seems to suffer from the same problem now.
Clicking the red switch at the batter should have switched the power to backup mode ... it seems to do that alright, but after switching the power back to battery, the memory is all gone.

I have the same problem. but I'd tried to open up my device and compare with others. and the problem is with the red switch button. It should be switching the button on the board so when U switch the red button down it suppose to switch the device from the main batt to backup batt. But mine doesn't. the red button kindda miss the board switch little bit to the left. so I use the soldiering iron to bent it little bit to the right. And the problem solved.
sorry about my english....
i've heard alot of people report this problem also when changing sim
some say that putting the phone in fligth mode helps
but unless you switch between sims or have more then 1 batt you never have to take it out so i've never had the issue
hmm ... will try flight mode .. but backup first ..
The soldering things is interesting. But opening up the unit voids the warranty which mine is still in.
mm .. a question I'd like to ask tho ... since mine was O2 originally and is now on a imate firmware, that immediately discards warranty does it ?
this problem has never been solved... best bet is to use Sprite Backup... i think this is about hardware problems in the XDA2 so... its either backup or send it back to the manufacturer..
I experienced this a-couple of times already. That’s why I avoid removing my unit's battery. I also got a backpack for more juice capacity. I hope this problem gets solved.
I use sprite backup as a quick way of reinstalling everything if ever the inevitable happens and then do a fresh install when I have time.
Poch
How to prevent hard resets when changing sims etc..
Ok guys...i had this experience every time i changed my sim. but i avoided it the last time i took the batt off. If youll notice, the battery cover is METAL, which is having a "contact " on the upper left terminal of the XDA which "drained " all power ( back-up batt as well ).
To prevent this :arrow: make sure your xda metal back cover doesnt physically contact with the said terminal when inserting it back.
cheers!
i restored to a backup a couple of weeks bk, but i donno why, after restoring, i wasnt able to receive sms. I mean ... u could c that an sms is received, the screen will light up but no sms icon will appear and nothing in the mail box either.
Anyway, i gave up and decided to jus do a hardreset and fresh install of everything.
The interesting thing is that straight after i hardresetted, i decided to take the batt out and c wot happens and to my suprise, it didnt hard reset. I repeated for a couple of times and made sure that i left the batt out for a couple of min and it never hardresetted again.
I jus came to a conclusion that i just havent taken the batt out and switching the backup battery switch for too long.

...hmmmm.....this is also discussed in this forum..http://en.pdamobiz.com/en/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=48&PN=4
:wink:
had the same problems about hard reset during the process of changing batteries....... i was told to turn on the flight mode first then do the batt change.... so far after tat, i dont face any more problems.
mm ... its been a while ago, but i dont remember ever placing the cover back while the battery is out.
I was changing the sim so i would've place the batt back straight after i changed the sim.
btw though, the back cover doesnt feel metallic. But more like plastic, jus coated with silver paint or something. I'll do a conductivity test on it tomoro ...
i personally dont agree that this is because of the back cover being metallic... coz u can always replace the sim or battery without putting back yet the back cover... as a matter of fact once you put the battery back the unit will automatically turn on right? and thats before you get to put the back cover back again.. so it doesnt really affect the connectors...

in my case, yes.. :wink:
i miss the red switch : its enables the back up battery once you pulled it down. make sure it contacts properly. right now, no hard resets for me.
Its cool to be precautious... :lol:
My moms hero wasn't getting any signal even where I would get signal so I thought to do a hard reset. I held down the home button pressed power HTC screen comes up and then A triangle with an ! in it, and a phone right by it pops up. Trying something else I help down the down volume button turned on got the white android sscreen it then told me to press home to get to recover. I did so, and the triangle ! with a phone came up again.
Home+End, while off, will only boot in to custom recoveries.

How do I go to the non rooted one so I can hard resest this phone?
I tried volume down, and I get the same error when I press home to get to the recovery.
Send+Menu+End is a hard reset & simply restarts the phone & resets the hardware on the phone.
A factory reset is Home+Back+END.
I did the hard reset, but still there is no service!
Pull the battery for a few minutes. If that doesn't work, try the factory reset. And if that doesn't work, reflash the RUU 1.56.

Woops by hard reset I meant factory. Trying leaving the battery out.
Battery out for 9 minutes, turned on still no signal.
This surprised me its PRL is 27392, any way I can do an update without having a connection?
I've never seen a PRL like that. All I've ever seen was 60657, 60658 & 60659. Your mom does have a CDMA Hero, right?

My thoughts where the same, and yes it is a chinless CDMA hero running sprint just like my other 3 heros. I've never done a PRL update on this 1 yet, and it was working fine earlier I just picked it up to look at it and there was no signal.
When I checked the PRL I wondered WTH was wrong with 1.
At this point I would just reflash it with RUU 1.56.
And for the doubters here's the proof

Well, that's a PRL for an EVDO device (not the one for the Hero, though).
I did a quick bit of research, and found this piece at SprintUsers.com (http://www.sprintusers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=161707)
Note: The article is a bit outdated, but the version numbers may still be true
What does my PRL version Number mean?
EVDO Phones have support for PRL's beginning in 20xxx and 606xxx
Current Version for the 20xxx series is 20231, the roaming icon is shown with the letter "R". Current for 606xxx is 60612. Add's support for new roaming partners being added in the 08-09 years. Easier to pickup CDMA and roaming partner networks in Sioux Falls, SD, Watertown, SD, Brookings, SD, and Sioux City, IA .

Unless the wrong file was pushed to your phone OTA, I'm not sure how you ended up like that.
I would go with the recommendation of the forum users and reflash using the 1.56 RUU. If you need the file, click on The Darktremor name in my signature and you'll find it there (or it's in the wiki)

Try this
MENU>SETTINGS>WIRELESS CONTROLS AND SEE IF MOBILE NETWORK SHOWS A CHECK MARK AND CONNECTED.
From the pic that may be your problem.
Also check your nam ( MENU>SETTINGS>WIRELESS CONTOLS>MOBILE NETWORK SETTINGS>SWITCH NAM)and see what that does. I switched mine to 2 and i get a prl of 04085. Switched back to nam1 and got 60659 back.

Tried that my PRL changes to 04085 on NAM 2 but on NAM 1 it goes back to the 27 one.
this happened to my sisters phone too. What i did was go into MENU>SETTINGS>WIRELESS CONTOLS>MOBILE NETWORK SETTINGS>ROAMING and changed it from Sprint Only to Automatic. This gave her some signal and then I was able to do a PRL update on her phone. Which brought it back to normal.
Hi guys, hope someone can help.
I've had my note 4 just over a year now and not had any problems at all. I've always had notes 1 2 and 3 and now 4.
Never bothered rooting the note 4.
So..... out the blue my phone starts restarting and freezing regular. I'm talking 15-20 times per day.
Got no idea why but got so frustrated that I restored phone back to factory settings and it's still doing it.
Anyone know why this might be.
I'm 90% sure it's not memory as I have a 64gig memory card in it. And don't actually have many apps downloaded.
I've cleared all cache as well via apps and also via the volume up power and home key method.
Please tell me someone knows what the problem is here as I did searches on Internet and many are having the samended problem.
After doing some research on older threads. I noticed few mentioning a fix when their removing their sim card so I gave this a try with little hope and amazingly it's worked. I've opened up around 10 different apps and really straining the phone. Not 1 force close, freeze or reboot.
So what on earth is going on here.
What is my EE chip doing to cause these freezes and restarts.
excuse me
What is your Note 4 model ???
Exynos or Snapdragon ??!!
Not sure where I get this info. My phone is not rooted.
But under model it says....... SM-N910F
Do you know what the problem might be?
Now for the really weird part.
As stated, when I remove the sim card the phone works perfectly. No lag or freezing or restarts.
So I don't some more investigating and added the sim back and removed the SD and still no lag freeze or restarts.
What on earth could be causing this issue. Whenever I have I have my sim and SD in together the phone goes wild and won't stay on without freezing or restarting.

Try deleting everything from microsd, and reformat it in other format, eg fat32
It's getting more and more strange. If I have both SD and sim card in the phone then it constantly freezes and then restarts but If I remove 1 of the 2 then the phone is fine. No problems with just sim or just SD. So I'm under the impression now that the sim and SD between each other are causing problems.
N910G (stock, unrooted) here, exactly the same thing.
So I factory reset it, now and its still doing it. with or without the sim or microSD
I also notice that provided i keep the screen active it operated fine, the moment i let it sleep i started getting issues.
the device is pretty much a semi brick now
I think I found a solution to this issue since my phone has been experiencing the same thing. I would credit the OP that posted this solution as soon as I find where I got the information from. But anyhow, much like your phone my Note 4 N910T started to lockup/freeze/reboot. This lockup and freezing would occur mostly when I power my screen on and proceed to unlock it.
Step 1. Download Wake Lock from the Play Store
Step 2. Enable Partial_Wake_Lock and set it to number 4
Step 3. Enable Auto-Start
This has fixed my issue with the random freezes, but my battery drains slightly faster.
I have been having issues lately, too! Also a N910F model.
A couple months ago the device was acting weird and being real slow with loading photo's and stuff that was stored on the MicroSD. So I removed the MicroSD and the problem seemed to be gone.
After a couple weeks the device began acting like the Topic Starter is describing. Note, I was running custom roms and thus was rooted. So I thought I messed something up. So I backed everything up, wiped the Note 4 completely with TWRP, then I went to install the latest odin *.tar.md5 file and the device seemed to be acting normal again.
Then after a couple days it would act up again!!! So I decided to keep the Note 4 off for a while and use my Galaxy S5 instead I still have laying around. This means I switched the SIM card from Note 4 to S5.
But then I missed the bigger display and the S-pen. So I tried again.... doing a full wipe via the stock recovery and install, again, the latest odin tar file. That is running fine for like 3 days now so I hope it will stay finally okay now.
If it starts acting up again I might temporarily use the Galaxy S5 again or start thinking about buying a S7 Edge or wait for the Note 6 to pop up..
UPDATE:
due to my 13month old note 4 constantly freezing and restarting. I decided to root the phone and also add a 32gig memory card to try and free up some space. Also bought a new genuine Samsung battery after believing my battery was causing issues.
Well I was wrong.
Battery has been changed, moved lots of apps across to SD and also cleaned up loads of junk yet the freezing and restarts continue to happen.
I have no idea what it causing these freezes and restarts but I'm starting to lose patience with this phone.
Here are some pics....

Anyone have any ideas???
took my phone to a shop and the guy told me it's defo the mother board, he said many note 4 owners have this problem after a year or so, but also told me that samsung give out a 2 year warranty, but the problem is, i'm now rooted, so not sure what to do now.
phone is restarting and freezing every 10mins and i'm on the verge of smashing the thing off a brick wall.
if anyone thinks they can help, please get back to me asap.
Well I got sick of it and traded it in for a Nexus 6p (with full disclosure of the problems).
While I miss one hand mode and the stylus and the removable battery, God damn but the Nexus 6p craps all over the note 4 for performance! This thing is super snappy!

There's not much else you can do I reckon. Either let the guy repair it or repair it yourself.
That sucks though, I hope it doesn't happen to me.
problem is, he told me he cant fix it, as a new motherboard will cost me almost the same amount as a new note 4. not worth doing.
he basically told me to unroot my phone and put original rom back on and just take it to Samsung and prey they don't check it.
not sure what Samsung procedure is but i got a feeling its not going to end well.

Hi I have the same problems with my SM-N910F, is that info about 2 year warranty from Samsung is true? Because if is true I can try to replace my phone.Is nightmare I was trying everything factory reset, but nothing help.Still doing thant swich off, freezing.

Mine is a N910C model (Exynos) and is totaly innoperate. After turn it on it shows the first logo screen and freezes. Sometimes it keeps looping on this screen and not go ahead. I've tryed new firmware, resets, wipes and nothing. Is there someone that knows what I shoud do besides throw it away?
Having them same problem with my note 4 I've had it for a year and 3 months now. About ready to dump it in the toilet! What does it mean to have your phone rooted? Really want to fix it as a new phone is not in my budget
My phone is freezing and restarting ever since the 6.0.1 update failed once, I got it to go through finally but it hasn't been good. I've tried erasing and loading new OS through smart switch and it's still having problems. Should I try a custom firmware?
Hey there,I have an HTC U Ultra,and i've come to notice that tge CPU isn't going on full speed,when i have the power saver mode in,its works on certain speed same as when not having it only,the only difference is just no animation,no vibration feedback,and brightness,thats about it,i've even tried several benchmarks,and the results were very dissappointing than normal.
The Geek bench marks were as follows (on power saver mode)
Single core : 928
Multi core 2708
Without power saver mode
Single core
970
Multi core
2750
While geek bench score for the u ultra on their officicial website is
Single core :
1674
Multi core
4072
Is there any solution for this ? Im on android oreo btw(not sure if this problem was on nougat or not).
well look bro the new power-saving mode from htc is pretty aggressive on Oreo way more aggressive than nougat if u dont already notice it also stops any kind of playstore updates and apps dont last in the ram that muc but i think thats a good thing to save power!
and about the scores, well the same exact thing happened to me and i was extremely frustrated by what happened until i managed to fix it and seriously it was a ****in nightmare until i did cuz my ultra was getting geekbench scores simillar to my m9 lolol so i decided to reset the phone because its a big update and maybe the new system isnt optmized for the old apps but guess what it didnt work lol i still had tereble score so i was like thats it ! am going back to nougat so the first step was to unlock the bootloader which well did delete every thing on my phone again lol . so after unlocking the bootloader i would preceded with going back to nougat but i was like lemme complete the setup and do a backup unless i migh i just might wanna go back to Oreo and mid way throught the setup something told me to do a benchmark and omfg i got the best geekbench scores i have ever gotten on this ****in phone u wont even belive these scores man its that crazy! so ya long story short if want your performance back unlock the bootloader because reseting the phone just clears your data but it leaves alot of problems behind it but unlocking the bootloader completely bringd the phone to factory state and i know that because after unlocking the bootloader it didnt even ask me password of my gmail it just started a brand new setup process so ya performance is way better now and battery life is awesome! tell me if it works for you and please press the thanks button if u need any extra help just lemme know man am here for you

well you can relock it again but when you relock it is going to say"relocked" not locked so htc will know that you unlocked and then relocked but if you think about it, unlocking your phone does not void your warranty but if you missed around with your phone after unlocking the bootloader and damaged it sing bad software then htc will void your warrnty but they neve said they will void the warranty just beacuse you unlocked the bootloader and the secondary display has some bugs with me aswell but i dont care about it any way lol but everything else perfromance and battery life are great under oreo !

Used iCareFone for WhatsApp Transfer to transfer chats from my old phone (iPhone) to my new phone (OnePlus) and now the "Google" settings item appears weird.
I think that's how to fix it ... Is it really necessary to restore?
Or after the arrival of the update on Android 12 all should be normal?
Mine is the same. Google must want to differentiate themselves I guess

I've been having that issue as well, since before the update. Freaked me out at first because I rebooted like 20+ times and it still had no IMEI, SIM or WiFi. Finally I decided to reboot it via holding the power button down long enough to force a shutdown that way, upon restarting I had WiFi and mobile service immedately.
Randomly ever since my SIM remains undetected for about 30 seconds and eventually kicks in but WiFi doesn't.
Holding the power button down long enough to force shutdown seems to always fix it for me.
Next time it happens, if it happens, give that a try.

Very interesting. I have attempted this method but unfortunately have not had the same result as you. I've now at this point lost all ability to detect ANY sim card, and am actually in the process of taking the phone apart to inspect the pins themselves, even though the scratch marks are consistent and it appears as though they are getting a good solid contact. Wish me luck!

Do you have an IMEI still? First time it happened to me and I rebooted 10+ times it didn't have IMEI at all. And I doubt it's a pin issue, I never eject my sim card tray and if you haven't been messing with it then it can't have gotten damaged

I do again but it still refuses to connect to a network. It feels software related at this point but I still have not figured it out. Still trying to bypass the tmobile locked oem unlock (I am not qualified for them to unlock it)

You don't need to unlock sim to unlock bootloader, there is a modified msm tool you can use. What's different is that the boot.img doesn't work which allows you to do the critical unlock then flash the working stock boot.img
My advice though, use the older one with the crossed out links. The newest one causes device to identify as a 7T. The older one works just as good and identifies as hotdogg/hd1925 properly.

If you meant SIM unlock then no. There is literally no way around that. There was a guy who was doing unlocks if you were in the service for as little as 3 days but the forum has been "temporarily" shutdown for 3 months now.

Yea i've been following for about a year but i'm not one to give up lol. Theres another guy who made a tool that uses your IMEI and it generates the oneplus token, I've actually gotten it to work for ten minutes but forgot what I was doing in the process. I'm searching now again out of bordom but I believe it was something it unlocked in the factory test mode that manually bypassed the t-mobile oem lock as though we were a technician, but It has been a while and i could have missunderstood. I am new to rooting but feel like I have learned this device down to its bones at this point. Thank's Ubuntu-In-Termux for a great fake root.
