Restarting phone? - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was using my phone one day and it just started restarting. It kept on restarting over and over again. When I plugged in the charger, the phone stopped restarting and was able to turn on normally. The battery was 50% when it started to continuously restart. Once I plugged in the charger, it showed me 50%. After turning on (plugged), I unplugged it, and it took about 20 mins then it's restarting again.
What is the problem with the phone and what should I fix?

Hello,
I have the same problem with my S5 (G900H). I was on Android 5 Lollipop and received the 6.0.1 OTA update and after that the phone became unstable and keeps restarting (unless I connect it to the USB charger).
I have flashed it with Odin and the issue persists. Let's see what we can do to get these phones working again.
Did you received an update recently? What model is your phone? Have you flashed or made a factory reset?

I have the update but the problem happened way after I got it. Unrooted and no factory reset done.

I flashed it with a new stock ROM released from Samsung and now I don't have recovery mode. Keep reflashing with other ROMs to see what happend.

I have fixed the problem. It seemed to be a dodgy battery. Got it replaced.

I'm gonna find a new battery and test it. Thanks.

The new battery will be delivered tomorrow night....

Problem SOLVED!!! Got the new battery and my phone is working again.
Could Samsung thru its OTA updated damage the battery to make you get the new galaxy?
My battery was fine until I got the OTA update!!

Yeah there is a possibility for that but I cant be 100% sure

SM-N910F Won't fast charge

Last few days my Note 4 wont chager in fast mode and in normal mode takes hours to charge, i allready perform a factory reset, bur the problem continues... someone knows whats wrong?
Download your firmware specific to your phone and flash it. Am certain that will work. I got a bug which couldn't go away with a factory reset so I had to download my phone's firmware a day or 2 ago and flashing has resolved it but it's still Lollipop 5.0.1 and I get the feeling this is not the end. I noticed that Lollipop 5.0.1 has some underlying bugs which I can't live with that haven't been ironed out and am currently making a run for Kitkat until all these issues are settled, or I just migrate to M.
First thing to try is another USB cable, then another charger - then another battery.

SM-T530 Lollipop update problems

Hey guys,
My wifes Tab 4 recently did the OTA update to Lollipop (5.0.1) and has been having a problem ever since. After being in use for a few minutes after the update it suddenly locked up and rebooted itself. Thought nothing of it at first, but then it did it again, and now randomly reboots all the time, sometimes after only a minute of use. I've tried clearing the cache partition and factory reset, neither gave any improvement. Then i figured maybe the OTA download was the probblem so i flashed it back to Kitkat using Odin and all worked fine again for a few days. I turned off the OTA update checke and she was perfectly happy with it again.......
......until it downloaded the update all over again.
Before allowing it to update again i connected it to the PC and did the update via Kies instead. All seemed to be fine for about 5 minutes and then started rebooting. Again, cleared cache and factory reset. Again no improvement.
Then tried flashing the update via Odin again. Still no improvement.
I'm drawing a blank on this one. I've tried everything I can think of and still not been able to solve this one. The only thing i've been able to figure out so far is that for whatever reason it doesn'T randomly reboot if its connected to the PC via USB...............
Anyone got any ideas how to sort this?? Samsung have offered to take it in for repair and I'Ve been offered a refund from the retailer, but I'd rather avoid those options if possible.
Thanks!
I have the same problem and nobody Knows. I will back to kitkat. let me know if you fixed. sorry for my english im cuban.

N910F bricked after the last update ! Help

I updated OTA my Note 4 n910f to the latest built. It was something about Samsung Cloud. Since then i haven't been able to use my phone for even a minute. It keeps rebooting every 1 minute. When plugged in it reboots but for like every 3 minutes. And it doesn't charge, my battery was 66% when i plugged it on AC, and it keeps going down like 64% plugged it. I don't know if any of you had this issue before or are having now but i cant use my phone for 2 days now. I tried to clear cache data via recovery, also wiped storage, factory reset, wiped everything but no luck. Where is my problem, is my battery dead or software issue. I didn't have this before the last update. Help !

Flash stock firmware via odin and do a factory reset after flashing firmware.hopefully it should fix the problem. Go to (www.sammobiles.com/firmwares) choose your model number and download latest firmware.
Already did that, no luck. !

Try flashing lollipop .
If the problem still persists after lollipop, then go to a service centre .
If they repair it ,well-n-good but if they don't then try rooting your device and then change the kernel.

Bricked my Turbo 2 X1585

So after updating to the latest update last week, my phone suddenly was draining battery in less than an hour it seemed. It would suddenly jump when charging my large intervals that don't make any sense, seem too fast. Charge from 0 to 100% in less than an hour and then drain extremely quick again. After factory reset it was better, but I wanted to roll back to marshmallow, I tried it with RSD Lite and it fails on the 3rd file. After this the phone would boot fine, but when trying to shut down or factory reset. the phone is stuck in FastBoot. So I tried flashing the stock marshmallow via abp fastboot and now the phone is bootlooped.
can anybody help me flash the stock marshmalllow rom back onto this Turbo 2?
Ok nevermind I got it back to where I originally started with this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/dr...force-how-to-manually-flash-official-t3282077
still seems to be giving me weird sporatic issues with the battery though. I was at 75% battery and restarted the phone, when it booted back in it was at 45% all of a sudden. It keeps doing this randomly changing charging % by weird intervals for no apparent reason. It only started doing this after installing the latest update though.
Would be nice if I could find a way to roll it back to the original nougat update or even better the last Marshmallow version before nougat was deployed.
currently, there is no way to downgrade this phone as the bootloader is locked.

Auto shutdown when there's no app running on the background

Hello guys!
I'm facing a veeery weird issue with my ZB602KL.
I've left it charging overnight and when I woke up, it was turned off with 87% of battery.
Turned it on again without any troubles but now the phone just won't stay turned on when idle.
The only way I can leave it blocked without turning itself off is letting some background app running, such as a music player. Otherwise, the phone will go off 30 seconds after I press the lock button.
It doesn't turn off when screen is on or using any apps (no matter how long)... but as soon as I lock it, without anything running on the background, it goes off. :crying:
Any thoughts? Stock ROM, no root, tried factory reset, wiping cache, upgrading the firmwire again and nothing seems to work.
Thank you all for your attention!! :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::good::good:

Morning guys!
Yesterday I spent the phone battery until It reached 0% and left It charging It to 100% without interruptions... But It didn't work as well.
I'm definetely out of ideas
Downgrade the firmware if the problem started after ota update...(you need unlocked bootloader and root for that)..else take it to service center..
