So I go to boot up my Nexus Player and it looks like Google pushed an update and it took a good few tries to get Kodi to boot. And when it finally loaded, I noticed that all my setting reset. Now this is the second time this has happened in the past few days. Has anyone else experienced this? It's pretty frustrating as I have to keep setting up my skin over again. How do I prevent this?

If I boot my phone up, go to the home screen, my phone will get the little soft popup s aying "Auto Update of Time/Date" and then everything pauses, and the phone "soft" reboots itself. Meaning it doesnt do a full reboot, but it comes back searching for a network, performing the media scan, etc.
I did a factory reset to get rid of this, and now it's back again. It's MAD annoying. Anyone else having this issue?
Yep I noticed the same thing with mine. I thought it was normal but I'm beginning to think otherwise. I'm getting some connecting to dm server thing as well.
Sucks, the phone's awesome but if it keeps doing this then it won't even matter.
One thing I noticed is if I let the phone sit, and load up it's usually okay. If I try to go into the phone settings while it's booting up, thats when I'll see the auto update note and bam, restart. It'll keep doing this until I either leave it alone or pull the battery.
Good to hear it's not something im doing.
deng this just started happening to me like 5 minutes ago
its getting a bit of annoyed
my phone was rooted and then i unrooted it and it still has the same problem
Do you folks have any Task-kill app running in the background?
I had the same issue as well when I had a Task Killer app running in the background. It seems the app is killing some service that is causing soft reset. I turned off the auto mode last week and this hasn't happened since then.
Hope this helps..
fix
if u download any gameloft games thats your problem my phone was doing that then i took the games from gameloft off and now it works great hope that helps
Certain apps can cause it, I also had a gameloft game cause it. If you need to get access to uninstall apps the phone should boot fine without a sim in it.

I am having the same problem, The phone keeps doing a soft reset. I noticed this happening after I tried to download a song from an app I installed on my phone. I deleted the app, and the problem still exists, it is REALLY ANNOYING
running rooted stock Vibrant. Phone was doing great until yesterday.
All of a sudden It started going into a reboot loop. Did a factory reset. waited for about an hr.
Then started installing my apps. I only use a bunch of games, launcher pro and some others, nothing crazy. after about 3 hrs of playing word wise, it starts it again. This time I notice that the notification bar it takes a long time to run the media scanner. sometimes it scanned twice , then reboot over and over. I finally did a factory reset again.
Could it be Launcher pro? I havent reloaded any apps at this time, and it been 10 hrs with no reboot?
Anyone else had this sort of issues?
I've used LP since day 1 with absolutely no issues. I would have to venture a bad app?
I think it might be beautiful widgets, or fancy widgets. I think it went into a boot loop when it did a auto time and date update. I kept seeing that at the bottom of my phone before it rebooted.
dunno, will be very frustrated if I cant customize it the way I want.
Well, I've used BW from day 1 also, no issues.
Sent from my Vibrant
didnt figure it was one of those,
guess I will have to look at one app at a time.
Sorry man, if discovered, will you let me know via a PM so I can put it in the sticky as a possible problem?
are you using setcpu? i was having all sorts of problems with phone hanging and never waking and such with setcpu...i finally just did a nandroid restore and uninstalled...no issues since
not using set cpu. very wierd. hasnt happened since my last factory reset last night. installed apps, not all of them because I am in the process of seeing if I have a bad app.
just taking it slow to see if I can duplicate the problems.
only thing now is that I have a problem with disappearing icons on my launcher pro dock LOL
Hi all I have a small issue. Since after I upgraded to lollipop I am experiencing an issue with the device locking.
Every time i pull down the notification bar from top in 10 seconds my phone gets locked. I will be reading my notifications and it will just lock, I cant keep it open for more than 10 secs.
This started happening after the update. The autolock is set for 2 mins so that's not the problem.
Please if anyone can help let me know and if anyone else experiencing this issue?
(Still havent tried reloading the new OS will do that if no other solution works)
Thanks
Did you factory reset the device yet? Try that, should work.

Thanks will give it a try and let you know.
So I figured out the issue. I did a factory reset and installed all the apps I had again and came to notice this happens when I install Nova Launcher and Tesla Unread app. Hopefully an update on these apps will resolve the issue.
Been a while since I had any issues with a phone I couldn't fix, but this is usually the best place to come when you run into something weird. Whilst I very much suspect that my phone has reached the end, there maybe something I can do if someone here has seen this before and managed to fix it.
A couple of days ago my phone started acting weird. Google assistant would start up for no apparent reason. Sometimes if I was in an app I'd just get a pop-up message but at other times I'd be taken to my home screen. The frequency came and went, but at it's worst it would happen every few seconds and would last for a good 5-10 minutes.
Thought it was just something weird in the OS so I booted back to the factory reset menu, wiped the cache and the system partition and started again. That didn't work. The start-iup process began with voice assistant turned on and every button click requiring activation and double clicking. I've since tried 5 factory resets.
I've disabled Google Assistant now and removed any updates. I've wiped out it's cache and tried all of the settings to make it stop so I no longer get Google Assisitant launching, but I do get something happening which asks me to "complete action using" and shows me the Samsung internet app, S Voice and Quick dial.
This is making me wonder if I'm looking at a hardware problem. I've switched everything off and given everything a good clean just in case one of the buttons has something stuck in it but that hasn't changed the situation.
If anyone here has any ideas or suggestions then they would be very gratefully received.
Thank you
Clean dalvik cache and update stock software through odin or custom rom may solve your problem
Thanks, will give it a go, forgot about the dalvik cache in the last reset so a good heads up. Will have to look into Odin, not had to use that in years.
Like the title says I have an essential ph1 that constantly is rebooting itself I'm guessing it's a soft reboot because the screen gets bright freezes up and then boots to the lock screen does all this within 5 seconds but it treats the phone as it's been rebooted it's happening multiple times a day. Anyone else had this issue? I'm running Android pie. I have insurance but I'm afraid to make a claim because I've heard that the phone is out of stock everywhere and the value that they will give me is like $240 I like the phone.

Are you on a ROM? Kernel?
I ran into this issue with my OG Pixel. I found out the issue was I disabled some google apps. I re-enabled them all and the reboots stopped. Make sure Google Drive, Google Movies, Google Music, etc are not disabled.

Umm... That makes no sense...
But if it works for you...
I'm having this exact same issue for around 2-3 weeks now. I'm on stock, done multiple factory resets, and the issue continues.
