Hey guys..
I've owned all the Samsung Galaxy phones from the S+ right up to the S4 and I've flashed firmwares over all of them with generally no problems at all.
But lately I have a constant issue that has been plaguing my Galaxy S 4 (i9505) phone since I flashed the 4.3 i9505G (GE Edition) ROM over my phone.. (have since moved to OMEGA v12)
The phone just randomly reboots whenever it seems to feel like it.
It could be whilst taking a picture, it could be whilst using google maps, it could be whilst installing an app from the app store or just scrolling across the screen. It's basically rebooted through anything and everything and I've tried pinning it down to something but every time I think that I've got it sorted out. It crashes again whilst doing something else.
1 thing however has got me stumped. The phone has NEVER crashed whilst plugged in. If I keep the phone plugged in, it's never ever just rebooted on its own for me. Which got me thinking that it could be a faulty battery or some sort of voltage issue.
Coming from the 4.3 GE Edition ROM there are other people experiencing random reboots. But now I've just flashed over OMEGA v12 and right after flashing (I did a full wipe of course first) the phone rebooted whilst typing in my Wifi access key. After the reboot I was able to set my phone up and I did a reboot myself, then I went to the app store to add an account and the phone crashed AGAIN.
I'm totally over this issue with my phone. I paid a small fortune for it and I cannot rely on it at all. So I absolutely need it to work. I've had issues on 4.3 GE getting Mobile Data to work. I've had issues with it crashing and I'm just done with all of this.
Do you think that my phone is already broken? (It's barely 3 months old) Do I need to get it replaced under warranty? Can I even get it replaced under warranty, is there a way to even get my warranty back or reset the flash counter etc?
I'm just so confused guys I thought maybe it was my battery, and that my battery was faulty because I had battery percentages dropping and jumping around like mad. For example 15% battery left would actually have the phone turn off... and reboot at 0%. Then the light wouldn't go green for 'Fully charged' and the phone would sit on 99% or 100% but still not say 'charged'. In addition I could swear I had lost more than 10% of my charge in the blink of an eye etc.
I just bought 2 new batteries but they will take a week to get here.. and if the phone is still rebooting (and it isn't a voltage/cut out issue with the battery) then should I assume it's a hardware issue and that the phone needs replacing? Or could it just be a bad flash or something? The phone has at least a 2 year warranty. I don't want to replace it after just 3 months when I haven't even so much as dropped it once.
My recovery is PhilZ 5 Touch 6.0.4.0
I always check MD5 sums before flashing and do a full wipe:
- Wipe Data/Factory Reset
- Clean to Install a New ROM
- Yes
- Then Flash the new .zip file etc.
What on earth could be wrong with my phone?
I'll happily provide any more information, as I honestly cannot handle this happening and I have no idea what my problem is...
Thanks incredibly much for any help at all, what-so-ever.

I can only give you advice on some of the smaller issues that you mentioned. I haven't had a problem with reboots at all (i've flashed all manners of ROMs too, including the GE), so I'm guessing it is hardware related. You should get it replaced (if it still is messing up with the new batteries).
As for warranty, yes you can claim it back on warranty. To be doubly safe, restore it to stock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265477
Use Triangle Away: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114
Also FYI, rooting does not void warranty: http://matija.suklje.name/rooting-and-flashing-your-device-does-not-void-the-warranty-in-eu (assuming you are in the EU, not sure about other countries) (gosh i've posted this a lot today).
Thanks a lot buddy I am in the EU definitely and the phone is purchased from the EU. I am actually about to flash it right back to stock now to see if it stops the rebooting issue. I will just have to live without custom roms for awhile and such. If it still keeps crashing I will wait for the new batteries. If it still keeps crashing again after I get those. I guess all that is left to do is render myself without a phone for a week or two and have it repaired...
I wouldn't worry mate it sounds to me like a definite battery issue

Hi leijonasisu,
I've stumbled across your post after having experienced more or less the same issues as you. After trying many custom ROMs in the last few weeks, the phone has barely been useable for more than a few minutes until it randomly reboots. At which time, I must start over with the whole flashing process. My question is, did getting a new battery resolve your issue? Or did you just trade the device back in?
many thanks

Looks like it's better to restore to Samsung stock firmware first then start again from there,
But this will upgrade the the Knox bootloader also.
Stock firmware can be downloaded here, www.sammobile.com/firmwares
I fixed this ages ago. It was a battery issue, I'd bit my bottom dollar that it would be a battery issue for anyone else too, I've read a lot of stuff online about people who have gotten bad batteries with theirs. Swapped to 2 third-party and apparently larger batteries and never had an issue and never looked back.
Sorry for not replying back much sooner but I forgot about the thread.
Try another battery and if within a day or two you get no reboots then toss the bad battery and enjoy your phone! The thing is the battery (due to voltage issues) can make it look like it's the OSes fault when in actual fact it's just a faulty battery and voltage issues.
same problem here.. s4 randomly reboot..
I got the same problem.
The phone reboots every few minutes on me when i want to take it out of standby.
Sometimes it works for a few hours and sometimes it just reboots itself every few minutes or it reboots when i want to do something.
So ur all saying that a new battery could solve my problems ??

Hi, the OLD problem WAS caused by the faulty batteries batch (easy to recognize - the battery serial no was beginning with BD code).
Now, more frequently it is resulting from KNOX related issues.

hi thx for the answer.
Could infact be knox issue as i am now back on stock rom without root or anything and im not having any issues now.
But i would like to have a custom rom and root again .

Only one option then: read the ROM-specific threads, loo for feedback posts. If ROM would cause random reboots, you can be certain that it will be written there.
Same issue with gt i9505, random reboot, earlier i had gt i9500 that was flawless with all rom n root n with everything, but i bought gt i9505 and its random reboot like in every 30 to 20 mints, im totally pissed n disappointed ? plzz help....

For me kitkat UGNG8 with random soft rebooting, tried everything with that firmware I could, reset to default and it was still randomly rebooting when ever it liked. Usually after swiping the screen out of wake lock most of the time. I even re-odin GNG8 3 times.

Interesting will have to give this a go, also the battery option.
For months I was running on Lollipop custom ROM, the developer did an upgrade and then the SIM card removed error started. I went back to the old version was keep getting the SIM Card removed error. A few days ago went back to Original ROM for NZ 4.4.2 and I still get the SIM Card error and now the phone just reboots randomly.
HI
Ever since I Rooted my S4 and installed Carbon rom I having real random loss of network signal.
Some times hours can go by and its fine to 30 mins passing by and loss.
Can guarantee while moving in the car it will happen as you pass between cell mass.
Never happened before I rooted so can only image I have done some thing wrong, I used to have a HTC one and they was so simple to root and to stick a rom on.
The Samsung phone have more steps to them that I can only image I messed up some were along the line , any one with good knowledge care to take a look a my Samsung info screen shots and see if iv done some thing stupid.
Tried forcing 3g only or GSM make no difference tried two other roms and the same happens
Flash stock rom :highfive:
[Solved]
Original Problem
Hi All,
Hope someone can help me, as the title states I have been getting random reboots with my Exynos Version note 3, SM-N900.
I am currently running 4.4.2.
Here are the problems I receive:
Constant bootloops. (Can only be solved by doing a battery pull)
Randomly cuts off (no shut down animation) (Doesn't always come back by pressing power button)
Around the camera area is warm when it cuts off or is bootlooping, but not so hot that it is burning, it has been hotter while gaming.
I have tried everything,
Clearing cache.
Factory Reset.
Safe Mode.
Reflashing Rom with Odin.
Didn't reinstall any of my apps.
Didn't disable any apps.
Please note that I was rooted when this first occurred. I unrooted and reflashed the rom and it has still been occuring.
Also note I got the firmware from www.sammobile.com, and the reboots never occur while the phone is charging.
Can somebody tell me if this is a hardware issue, or just plain software issue.
I have tried just about everything and I can't seem to find a Jelly Bean rom to test the issue.
Should have Bought the Qualcomm Version
Any feedback will be appreciated.
Thanks.
Solution!
Finally found a solution!!!
After I changed my sim, it didnt random reset for a while till two days after and the restarting and overheating returned.
So I dug up through a lot of xda forums on random restarting.
Wish I could remember which one so i can quote.
But he basically said that knox was the issue on his.
So again proceeded to re-root and uninstall anything with the name knox.
I used nobloat free and link2sd just to be safe.
Since then no overheating no restarting almost a month now.
Hope this Helps anyone with the same issue.

I may be wrong and hope I am... but this sounds to me like a hardware issue.:fingers-crossed:
If it was a software issue flashing Original rom and no custom apps plus safe-mode should solve it.
normally the side of the camera heats up when doing processor intensive things. The phone shouldn't do that when idle ans standby.
Did you drop the phone or something similar happened recently?

Really hoping its not hardware..
No the phone never fell very hard it fell on carpet once but it was already giving problems before it fell.
Have to agree with smartjais. Thermal protection will kick in and shut off the device if the processor gets too hot and won't turn back on until it cools down below the threshold.
It almost sounds like the cpu either isn't dissipating heat properly, or you have a faulty processor in general.
You say you were rooted when this started... did you happen to overclock or adjust cpu voltages on a custom kernel before? If so, is possible (unlikely, but possible) that you may have damaged the soc.
Either way, it sounds like hardware to me.

No did not overclock or install a kernel, it was stock just rooted.
The phone does not get ridiculously hot, as it has been hotter when gaming.
what version bootloader do you have?

hmm A friend had a similar problem with the GS4 and it turned out to be hardware.
Are you still under warranty ??
I know knox might be tripped when you rooted but since its Exyeos version you can try to reverse knox counter.

Hi Guys,
Thanks for the response i'm not sure what version bootloader i have.
I think I isolated the problem, the heat was mainly from the sim card port.
I changed my sim card and it was still overheating.
But I left the battery cover off, and played with the sim card while it was on (like put pressure on it and try moving it while it was still on) , and what do you know?
Bootloops and cut off everytime.
I was in my office at the time so i folded a 2 pieces of paper. 1 in between the battery and the sim and 1 where the sd card supposed to be.
TA DA! No overheating or bootlooping almost 10 hours now.
I don't know if the port was loose or whatever.
I'm monitoring it over the weekend and will report back.:fingers-crossed:
Thanks for the help guys.:highfive:

Ok that's cool :highfive: .. Didn't know that lose mem card or battery could do this. Hope the issue never comes back.. Do update us after you monitor .:good:
Some years ago i used to have an lg gw620 and it dropped down one day after that it started reboot itself with no reason ..... If it doesnt reboot when it charges i guess it means that your motherboard is cracked somewhere .......

Had the same issue on a Galaxy Tab Pro, disabling all Knox apps didn't do the trick as those apps kept running anyway. Uninstalling solved it!
FWIW, in my case, the reboots happened after turning screen off, whether manually or automatically. OS version was 4.4.2, latest firmware for the tab at the time. I used my app, 3C Toolbox to uninstall the app in case I needed to install them back. One (soft)-reboot to unload knox completely, no more random hot restart.
Thanks for your thread, my Tab is working as expected now. Just wanted to share my experience.
hey guys , after i installed new rom on my 9005 i noticed that my signal is much weaker than what it was when i was stock .
can a rom make asuch a problem ? or it must be a hardware issue ?
jup! everytime when i end the call it just gets in "emergency call only" after 1 sec its back.
and the signal strenght isnt high, as s.h.t.ier samsung ace 4 lte.
it shouldnt been like this.

on KK nothing like this happened.
Hello!
I've jut got my yotaphone YD206 with CN rom, i flashed to EU rom. I love this phone.
My problem is the top half of the phone is really warm/hot. Is it normal ? I though its the CPU or the WIFI.
Any opinion ?
Thanks (Sorry my english)
Lollipop is buggy, that does not help...

Lollipop is indeed buggy, and one of the most serious bugs is that the radios is allways ON even if the WiFi is set to be disabled when screen off, that makes the Lollipop battery suck. Actually there's lots of bugs in Lollipop and that's to blame Google, lately has been really lame, since KitKat at least. KitKat is way superior but unfortunately the EPD implementation on KitKat is subpar. Yota as it seems has the intention of releasing the Marshmallow version, and it's now on Beta, so let's finger cross and wait for the best.
People here over XDA forums also come to check informations so they can install the latest Firmwares, and sometimes they don't know there's several models of YotaPhone 2 basically distinction being the radio frequencies they can work, so it's important that you use your device correct radio when using other firmwares, for example my Phone is from HongKong and I use the /radio files from the latest HongKong firmware, no matter if I am installing a Russian or European firmware. The wrong radio makes your phone use more battery and lost connection.

Root and install No-frills CPU Control is your solution :good: More details here : https://youtu.be/vOiAMsxq578
I have had same problem with the phone heating up badly last weeks time, this is the Yotaphone 2 206 model kitkat 4.4.4 , not rooted or anything, just as out of the box, it would randomly heat up so bad that it would switch itself off and not turn on again until cooled down, it seemed to get better after turning off location service but that could be coincidene
Marshmallow ROM overall is working well, I advice anyone that is not happy with KitKat to run Marshmallow, Lollipop is a disaster. Just remember that if you have a YD206 you should use the China radio or a little better the Hybrid Baseband created by some users. About the battery time, KitKkat and Marshmallow are the best ones, Just keep in mind that location services and Wifi always scanning uses too much battery. If you know how to use Tasker, you can program it to use data services only each 20 minutes or so when screen is off, making it idle for each 20 minutes with no data connection will make you battery really last longer, then make a rule to auto turn data on when screen on, make a tasker to get wifi on when you are at home and to disable wifi when you are out, with tasker or similar app you can make pretty much everything possible!
I use this to stop wifi out of home.
Easy to use and no root required.
