I just finished uninstalling everything on this phone thinking it was an app doing this. Tonight is the first I've noticed this.
Here's the scenario. Phone is on and plugged into charger in car. I have root and recovery. No problems with those installs. I try to shut off the phone and it goes like it did, then a few seconds after the charge light comes on when the phone is off, it boots into recovery by itself. I pulled the battery and no change. I turn the phone off while unplugged and it stays off. Keeping the phone off, I plug it into the charger and recovery boots up. This is the strangest friggin thing I've ever seen!
I'm going to ruu it when I get home shortly. I will see if it does it then. If okay then I will root it and see if it does it. If not then I will install recovery and see if it does it. I don't think it was doing this with root only but I will see when I get home.
If it turns out to be recovery, I can live without it for a while until a newer version comes out. I prefer rooted stock anyways. Anyone seen this? I doubt it.

Others were talking about having this issue, so it could very well be a preliminary issue with root on the shift

This is a known issue with CW recovery. I am thinking about learning how to make a recovery for us, as this really bothers me.

I am working on it, but since I know no java, it will take some time.
Finally got mine rooted today, ran into some weird issues, but haven't experienced this issue. I did run into some issues with it plugged in an booting the phone. It wouldn't boot when power was pressed. Charge light would also stay on after it was unplugged. Battery pull resolved my issue. Not the same I know but kinda quirky
So my phone has started having random issues. Running stock rooted 4.3 and have only flashed an LTE enabler.
This morning I received a text, but when I tried to read it, I got an error that messaging had stopped. I hit okay, error came back when I tried to read the message again, it did this several times before I rebooted the phone with quick boot. A little later in the day, same problem with maps. Then I made a phone call and when I hung up, the system ui stopped. Had to power down phone.
I also noticed last night while trying to charge it in my car, it didn't seem too be connected. The charging text on the lock screen was like flickering. I thought it was the charging cable or USB lighter adapter. Grabbed a charger and appeared to be working, but was noticing the same problem with the charger.
Anyone heard of this before? Are they related? Haven't download anything recently, but maybe something updates? Not sure what direction to go to try too fix.
I have this same issue and mine happens sometimes while its charging I found out. Basically all the Google apps stop working including settings now I can access any other app just not the Google apps. The only fix is to reboot the phone. I wish my phone was still rooted so I could use logcat and hopefully catch whatever is causing this.

Have you tried different roms?
Nope, stock ROM 4.3
Bump?
Haven't had the issue with any apps closing. But it still don't charge with my car chargers. I briefly tried with a charger at home, but didn't notice the issue.
That's what mine started doing right before I got the flashing red LED of death. Sent it back for a refurb.

Hi Guys,
i got freezes when i charge it overnight (its connected to the original charger the whole night). I only can do a hard reset to use my device again because the touch-screen doesnt work then. This is very annoying because i use my device with Alarm to get up in the morning.
I already did a few clean installs (Cyanogenod Snapshots and Danvdh's Google Edition), wiped all caches and formated all data and caches aswell. I still got freezes. I get them from waking up my device (mostly in the morning between 5-6 am). All i see is a exclamation mark when i turn on the display. Then its frozen and i cant anything.
I already tried a few Modems and Kernels to test, but still freezes...
I use Modem I9505XXUGNK4 atm.
Any ideas ??? I really Need help with this !!!
Thanks

Have you tried the new 5.0 gpe from danvh? There was an issue with the charging animation and reboots.
yes, i got Dan's 5.0 gpe at the moment 12.17.2014
Dumb question, did you clear /system in between flashes as well?
Yes, i formated System and Cache + i wiped everything too
You should flash the latest stock firmware and see if the issue persists. If yes, try a different charger. If the problem still persists, I think it's a hardware problem. Probably battery or motherboard.
The Problem is only between 5-6 am. The whole day i got no Problems Should be a Problem with my Router maybe ?
i got no resets in my Settings there. maybe my Provider is doing a reset every day between 5-6 am and my device freezes then. i could try airplane mode too to test, right ?
I bought a new charger and battery today (both original). Maybe thats the problem.
i got News guys, i turned off wifi overnight an didnt plugged the charger to my device this night. No freeze !!! Yay !!!
So it only could be, charger, battery or Wifi, right ?
ok, i had a freeze at work a while ago. but i got no wifi or charger there... now i dont know what to do
Does it behave like this?:
You pick up the phone (it is in deepsleep),try to turn the screen on,it goes on,you try to unlock the screen and it just stops reacting to anything and turns the screen off after 20-30seconds?

i had the same problem,the only way to get rid of it is to send it in/get the motherboard replaced.this is faulty hardware,not a software problem
Damn, but i already got know activated. i dont get one for free Its about 1 and a half year old. The problem was solved a few snapshots form cm earlier and its only between 5-6 am. do you think its really a mainboard problem ?

how was your battery-lifetime with that build?
can`t help you with that,hope you have luck and fix it
Same problem
Hy people, i have the same problem, but is not a specific hour when it freez, yesterday i picked up the phone and when i unlocked the screen, it freezed, but i don.t wait 30sec, i just lock/unlock it again and it work fine. The other problem was overheating..
and randomly restarting but i think i fixed it with a factory reset. What i want to tell now is that i installed "Root booster" before all these problemsc ocured. After it played with the kernel, do you all thing it might not restored the original settings? My phone is randomly heating sice i installed that **** on it...(even if i do factory reset)
Ps: i have a stock kernel/gt_505
Or the battery is guilty? It's draing pretty fast, after a day of use i put it to charge
(Solved)

Hy, i haved the same problem, but what i did yesterday solved that. I hope this steps will help you:
1. Enter in Recovery Mode and select wipe data/factory reset
2. Clear cache partition
3. Go in Settings/More/App Manager and search for Touchwiz Home
4. Force stop then Clear data
5. Withouth exit from settings, restart your phone
6. When phone is on, screen will be black and will ask you witch program you wanna use, select Touchwiz home then press "always"
After this steps, i solved the problem for my phone, but another thing i done after that is delete all knox files with Titanium backup.
I hope this steps myght help you.
Thanks guys, but i got a nexus 5 now. Bye Samsung. Thanks anyway for help.
Installed Android Marshmallow last night. All seemed to be working well until tonight. I've plugged my phone in to charge and it's instantly got super slow then turned off. Wouldn't turn back on for love nor glory for a good 10 or so minutes. Then it finally did. However, it turned on, worked slowly for about 15 seconds then either froze in which I'd have to hold the power key and volume down to turn it off or it'd turn off on its own and reset.
It's been about 4 hours now and still doing it.
Any help at all please? Thanks.

Sorry, I'm not sure how to direct you then. I might suggest taking it to get looked at.

Hi everyone!
So I just had this problem after I woke up yesterday. I googled a lot but only found similiar problems.
Let me tell you what happened chronologically:
After turning the phone on in the morning it started updating apps as if I was doing a firmware update: "updating apps 1 of 135" etc. Note that my nexus was already running on 5.1.1 and had the latest updates installed.
Now it randomly freezes the screen on whatever screen it was before it happens and it won't respond to any touch input. This can also happen when not using the phone, then it will freeze at the lockscreen (the time freezes with it so sometimes i can see at what time it froze). Also, it loses connection with Wi-Fi as i'm using Whatsapp Desktop when i'm on my laptop and it mentions me that my phone is not connected.
The only thing that "fixes" (temporarily) it is a reboot. Now sometimes, on the lockscreen, i can just hold the power button and the pop-up comes in to turn the phone of, which i can somehow just tap on an it responds by turning the phone off. But sometimes (less frequent than the latter mentioned) the pop-up doesn't come in and holding the power button for a few secs will do the trick.
I hope I informed you all enough and my end question is: does any of you know what this is? How i can fix it or what i can do to prevent it or anything as I am hopeless. (my G3 is up for reparation so this is my sisters old phone, i had a nexus 4 myself for 2 years before the G3).
Thanks in advance!!
The best way to test it is by reformat the OS.
I positively think that it will solve the problem.
Since the phone is no longer under warranty, I guess there is no harm to install custom rom on it. They are fast and stable too.
Hope this help. Good luck.

EXACT thing happened to me too. Backup your data and hard reset from recovery. This fixed it for me
Same problem here bro, but neither custom roms or factory reset helps.... Is there anyone who has successfully solved the problem ?

Then it's time to change the screen or phone. Looks like it is a hardware issue.

I agree, your screen needs to be replaced.
