When attempting to wake up device (SPH-L720) from sleep using power or home button, it doesn't wake up, gets blank screen, the menu and back soft buttons LED lights come on, hangs for few secs on the black screen, then reboots by itself. Issue happens randomly and sometimes once a day or multiple times an hour. It seems like the problem existed before rooting and installing custom ROM but I've just noticed it.
I'm using TriForce 3.0 ROM (Android 4.2.2) w/ baseband L720VPUAMDL and kernel 3.4.0-KT-SGS4-ga23d84c. I've tried wiping/reinstall ROM, reflashing back stock ROM, removing microSD card. Nothing helped. The battery charges properly and is usually fully charged. No wear and tear or damage of any kind. Device is 1 month old.
Any ideas what might be causing the problem and suggestions for possible fix?
its because of the kernal, mine does this aswell..

Did you find a fix? Does changing the kernel fix the problem? If so, which kernel did you go with? It's driving me crazy lol. Thanks!
I cannot speak to whether or not, as somebody else suggested, the kernal is at fault, but I too am using KT Kernal and have this issue.

Did you notice if you had the issue before rooting and flashing the KT kernel? I'm trying to narrow down the cause. I'm thinking of trying another kernel to test and see if it fixes the problem.

I don't recall it happening before root, but I rooted fairly soon after getting it. I cannot remember whether it happened while it was stock rooted. As to the kernel, I flashed it immediately after installing my rom, so I would not be able to distinguish between the two as a source.
I switched to the agat kernel and it stopped rebooting until I attempted to watch videos... So I went back to ktoonz..it is most defiantly a kernel issue as this is a known issue with that kernel I deal with it everyday and its absolutely annoying
There is a nice selection to pick from.. Agates..kt...stock....chronic..and faux ..had the same issues on KT but fixed it by UV down 15 across the board ..also for some reason 8/20 worked better for me ..but my fix might not work for anyone else..I really liked chronic..running faux now ..I hated reboots ..my phone was rebooting before I ever rooted it ..who knows my carrier wanted me to bring it in for a replacement ..decided it was time to start reading

Same situation here. I rooted and flash a custom ROM on mine right after I got it. I believe it had the issue pre-root on stock ROM/kernel, but I'm not a 100% sure. I had same issue w/ the Cyanogenmod ROM, not sure what kernel it was using.

Do you remember if you had the issue on stock ROM before rooting? I believe mine has always existed and might be a hardware problem because I tried different ROMs/kernels and issue persisted with all of them.

Is there a comparison thread of different kernels? I'm wondering what the pros/cons of each and maybe some user experience feedback. I believe mine was rebooting as well when it was on stock before rooting. This seems like it might be a hardware problem rather than software (ROM/kernel). Do you think everyone w/ a Sprint Galaxy S4 (SPH-L720) is having this issue? If so, Samsung should do something about it because it's super annoying!
Update: I've been using latest version of KT-SGS4 kernel 3.4.59 (Aug 25 build) for over a day and it's been pretty stable w/ no occurrence of the problem. I'll keep this thread posted w/ updates if I run into any problem. Thanks to everyone for their help!
2nd Update: it still has the problem.
It's still happening but at a slightly lower frequency with the latest KT-SGS4 kernel. For those who have tried a different kernel, did it fix the problem? I'm trying to narrow down the source and convince myself for certain that it's a software rather than a hardware issue.
Same issues
I have been a lurker here for a while, and have found most of the answers that I am looking for without having to ask any questions. For that I say thank you.
I would like to let you know that I am experiencing the same issue with my rooted SGS4. I do not recall having the issue before rooting the phone (I ran it stock for a month or so before rooting it in early July). Today I did a factory reset and re-installed Tri-Force 3.0. Here is some more info if it helps.
SPH-L720
Android 4.2.2
L720VPUAMDL
Hardware Ver. L720.08
Kernel 3.4.0-KT-SGS4-ga23d84c
I am going to try to un-root it this afternoon and go back to out of the box stock to verify it is not a hardware issue.
I am mostly posting here to follow the thread hoping for a fix.

Try that and odin back to stock mf9 not mdl. Tri-force is mf9 based so maybe thats why you get those issues because you need firmware kernel modem and such. Also it could be that kt kernel had been reported to cause some of those issues.
i went to a new rom and new kernal and this is still happening to me, i have no idea what it is now.... any solutions from anyone?
UPDATE: BAD MICRO SD CARD!!!!!!!!!!! REMOVED MY SD CARD AND NO ISSUES IN THE PAST 2 DAYS
NEW UPDATE: SPOKE TO SOON..
I have a question, I am experiencing random freeze where my screen will just freeze, will not respond to my touches, I was on mi7 rooted it using Rdlv, then used the mobile odin method to upgrade to upgrade it to mj7 in the hope that, these freezes goes away. Afraid that the issues is still there.
From what i have seen so far these freezes happens when my signal bar is fluctuating.
i have done numerous factory resets and re flashed firmware too, yet the issue doesn't seems to go away.
Can someone please help diagnose the exact cause of this. Seems like some other people are also having the same issues

Yeah it's the latest one but don't know if you can push it into system i think it's only for custom recovery so i wouldn't risk it just in case there may be a small chance it will trip knox
Knox will only Get triggered if you had custom recovery of try yo root if the bootloader is Mj7.

May well be if not it could be a fault with the phone
I am almost confirmed now the freezes occur when the Phone's signal fluctuates. Not sure what is the dependency of that with the screen. Strange thing is, you can lock and unlock your screen, touch works fine, but it's after that for some time. Can some one please help me. This is driving me nuts

I've upgraded my recovery from cwm 6.0.4.6 to cwm 6.0.4.7
I did a back of my imei and efs just in case something would harm it and render my phone useless.
Problem:
Now I'm wondering can i go back to, either Stock 4.4.4 or a custom rom
I want to do this because the Rom is too new and not all apps i want to use, such as xposed framework and many other are unsupported. (which i should have checked before flashing)
Plus I'm not enjoying this rom due to many crashes, such as Unified Daemon (EUR)(needed for weather updates etc) and limited mobile data speeds and many mobile data disconnections, also I notice my Note 3 is running slower while using less ram than before which is very odd..
Many thanks in advance!
P.S.
I have all the files online I've made an online back up of them so which I always do for repairing purposes none of them is altered or tampered with by me.

Yes u can!!!!flash your stock rom with Odin and everything will be fine!!!
HIT THE THANKS BOTTOM IF I HELP YOU IN ENYWAY!!!!!
I was trying out some lollipop roms and in my stupidity didn't think about not being able to go back to kitkat.
After finding that a few apps I use don't like lollipop i thought I'd revert back, I went into recovery and tried to flash the kitkat rom, but it would keep failing. Panicking I remembered the nandroid backup. I restored my older kitkat rom and all worked well... Phew!
Moral of this story is always backup.
I'm now back on a lollipop rom, (audax) as so far everything is working like clockwork. But I still have my nandroid backup just in case
Lucky you! ;-p i don't have a nandroid ba-up but i do have the stock rom 4.3 somewhere i might try that after my exams are over! Thanks!

So I rooted my 4.4.4 note 3 N900p and I was going through diff Roms, all the roms were 5.0... I didn't do a nandroid back up because Ive never heard of that. I have the stock 4.4.4 rom will that install or no?

Well I haven't tried it but if a nandroid works a clean install via odin or the cmd way should overwrite everything on your device so if you follow a tutorial for restoring your device to stock you should be ok i think BUT I haven't tried it so please ask around some more.
I flashed the Lollipop firmware on my note 4 (910G) and badly wanted to root. In the process of rooting i may have used the wrong CWM file. But i checked it doesnt seems so but i assume. Im not sure. Im not a noob (but not an expert) as i tinkered many phones so many times. But today things went wrong for the 1st time.
The issue is the calibration of the digitizer on my Note 4, its completely off, in some areas it doesnt work at all when using my fingers, but with the S-Pen it seems fine. Its impossible to use the phone, the gap is huge.
I re-installed the stock firmware it doesnt seems to install the stock recovery (Assuming its the recovery i flashed which caused this) hence didnt rectify.
I flashed the philz and twrp recoveries (Correct files) thinking having a working recovery would solve and that too did not help.
I flashed CM based ROM assuming it would make a difference, still no.
Please guys help fix this, and i really really hope its not hardware or triggered any chips to malfunction due to incorrect file flash. Pls help and advice what needs to be done to reverse this.
Thank you...
Flashing official stock firmware should revert your recovery back to standard. It did for me when I was using Cwm and reflashed 5.0.1 firmware.
try your device in safe mode to see if that changes anything. If not I'd recommend doing a complete wipe then reflashing the stock firmware.

No mate tried all that, makes no difference. Even in safe mode its still behaves the same. And installed stock firmware many times, also without battery too. No improvement. Even the stock recovery isn't installed, thats the biggest question i have in that process.

This problem has nothing to do with rooting or installing a custom recovery. Only when upgrading or downgrading firmwares the touchscreen firmware can sometimes bypass the update.

Hello,
I have installed the android 6 to my p8 lite dual sim phone. C432b574 - I got the OTA update recently but it didn't update, and others told me to update manually, so I did.
I updated from b170.
The problem is the battery started heating up like never before with normal usage. Besides that when I checked the consumption levels it showed that hardware used 95-99% and softwares used the remaining. It is unnatural because I use the phone like I used to use with lollipop. I had been using it for 2 weeks now.
I tried wiping cache partition, updated all of the apps and someone told me the google services may screw up with the new system so I deleted those too, the problem still on.
Should I take it to the repair shop for a battery exchange? Maybe mine is faulty?
Regards, Ghostmuffin - thanks in advancew
I've also had those problems, the high hardware consumption is probably a first time error. For me, the one's causing havoc are the Google Play Services, actually you didn't remove anything, you can't remove them without basically turning your phone useless. Time to consider a deodexed ROM and using amplify (requires Xposed)

I could remove the updates.
And you installed deodexed update or how did you manage to solve it then?
I'll wait for other replies before rooting the phone.
I have never rooted a phone before, one thing is not clear for me, can I install a custom android 6 while it is currently on the phone or should I downgrade it first? The other question is, does it wipe my data?

Well my device also heats up when playing heavy games like gta san andreas, modern strike,asphalt 8 etc.... I think this is due to octa core processor. Which generates more heat as compare to quad core. I haven't used any octa core devices other than this so might be wrong.

Removing updates fixes nothing, as it seems to be a problem with Marshmallow itself, and yes, I downloaded a custom ROM, it's not a very advanced procedure but you should be careful. You should install it over the current ones, making wipes with a custom recovery, and yes, it will wipe your data, however you can back it up from recovery.

Yes, but they're much more customizable, as I said, if it's a wakelock problem, Amplify will solve it. I recommend Sokoban's ROMS and Nautilus
