I have had the phone for what will be 2 weeks tomorrow, I preordered it in and picked it up at a Sprint Store. I have had a new issue showing up the last couple of days. I will take out my phone and find that it is frozen. I will not respond to pressing the power or volume buttons. The most recent time this happened, I noticed that the light on the left hand top of the phone was lit purple, so it clearly was not off. I am not sure if that was true when this happened before. Anyway, the only thing to do at this point is to hold the power key down for about 10 seconds, which restarts the phone. It happened twice today, the first time when I got up in the morning and tried to wake up my phone, and then on the way home from work, I had my phone in my pocket while I was riding the subway and reading a paper, and when I took the phone out it had the same problem. This also happened I think one other time either yesterday or the day before.
Also, a few days earlier, the phone also froze when I was trying to do a camera burst by holding down the camera button. That time, it froze on the last image I had on the camera. That was when I found I could restart the phone by holding the button 10 seconds.
Anyone have any suggestions as to what is happening and what I should do....before I bring it back to the Sprint Store, I mean.
I'm having the same issues too! Locks up at least once a day.

I did had a couple freezes early on, but haven't had any as of late. Question did you set the phone up with a back up, or did you do a clean install. In some other forums it was suggested to set the phone up from scratch with no back up or transferring data from another device.

My phone a few days ago was freezing constantly and stuttering. I went into safe mode and the phone was working fine. Nova kept saying it wasn't responding. So I deleted Nova, a few icon packs. The phone has been running smoothly. No issues at all. I have installed Lawnchair Launcher. Everything still running smoothly.
Another thing I have noticed is that things kind of just work themselves out with this device. I experienced a few freezes early on and some laggy moments. This last week the phone feels good, no freezes or anything.
There's a new update on the play store called "essential services" an entirely different thing from "essential resources". Since I am fortunate enough not have the freezing issue, can one of you guys see if this fixes it?

After a few quiet days, mine started freezing up again. I have been using Nova, so I decided to try the Lawnchair launcher, but that crashes every time I try to open it. So I am trying the default launcher, and I will see how it is.

Did you try safemode? It shouldn't crash there. So it's an app. Not sure why Nova won't play well on my phone. Lawnchair is butter smooth for me. Tried the new Pixel 2 Launcher and that works great to.
My phone has frozen even in safe mode and I have only used the stock launcher. It seems to happen when cellular signal is very low. Doesn't seem to matter what app I have open, although I suspect the camera app is involved as it usually is when photos are being sent to cloud.

Haven't had any issues since the update.
Mine just froze this morning when I was waking it up, first time since the update.

On Eclair and Froyo FRF50 my phone wouldn't wake up until I gave 3 tries, and google said it was a hardware issue with HTC. Today when I updated to FRF72 the problem is gone. I'm so happy! I was about to settle for a replacement.
Lucky you! First I thought the same and then it came back.....i don't have it very often and normally I don't need more than 2-3 attempts.

Yeah I used to get attempts, now none! But my lights flash first and then the screen turns on.
me too!
I always suspected this was a software issue based on the fact that the lock button always worked perfectly when the n1 was on and unlocked.it just took a few tries to unlock and it was basically impossible to lock it again straight from the lock screen while just checking the time or seeing what a notification was.i haven't seen it happen at all since installing FRF72 though so much nicer now ......
fixed it for me too... Used to sometimes take me a few tries to turn it on. Now its flawless. I also am happy. I knew it wasnt hardware cause it would turn off everytime, just wouldnt turn on all the time.
Glitchy button (bad/incorrect/missing RC chain for glitch-free operation), and a workaround for it in SW (canceling press registrations for X time from initial press), I guess... Technically it's possible.
+1
Fixed this issue for me too!
I'm glad to hear it. I also get this from time to time, but i'm still on FRF50. I'm waiting for the final one.
This started happening only after i put FRF50 on my Nexus. 2.1 had no such issue with the power button.

Same here. First I thought it was fixed but after a little while, absolutely not. I need that same 1-3 attempts, depending.
i thought it was fixed too, but today i had too press it multiple times again.

I'm not sure what to think. I did notice a great improvement in the responsiveness of the power button after I upgraded to FRF72, but after a day or two I began having problems again. This morning the switch became all but unusable -- I have to press it with my fingernail in exactly the right spot to get it to work at all -- and I've requested a replacement from HTC, so there is definitely a hardware component involved, but it's indisputable that the problems I was having before I upgraded disappeared for 24-48 hours after the upgrade. Very strange.
Also I couldn't make the phone go to sleep when I was on the lock-screen, it just shuttered. So for instance if I wanted to check the time I would have to press the wake button like 3 times, then check it, then unlock it and press the sleep button.
anyone experiencing this with your phones?
most of the time when i put my phone in my pocket, it just shuts down and i have to boot it back up.
happens like 10/15 times a day.
I have experienced some reboots (not so many like your shut downs), when some applications try to interact with the marketplace.
Your shutdowns, might have to do with a battery issue... Did you try any useful diagnostic test inside the MFG tools?
I've got them also....
Mostly when I've got the phone in my pocket, off course I don't see it shutdown. When i switch it on it doesn't simply resume, it boots. I guess it has something to do with too much force on a particular spot.
I've had it shutdown a few times when viewing pictures. Possibly a totally different issue, but nevertheless.
I have no solution (apart from keeping it less in my pocket).
Greetz,
Ronald
Happens sometimes for me. Maybe once a day or less.
me too. I think once a week or max 2 times a week.

i dont believe its a battery issue, because if its on a table then its fine and is turned on without any problems.
i guess the optimus 7 is not pocket friendly...
oddly i never had this issue back in nodo.
yep my op7 used to randomly shutdown more than 3 times per day after i flashed OPN rom this problem seem less.

I second this.....
I think it maybe has something to do with the option to switch on the phone when the camera-button is pressend. This button gets pressed very easy when you put your phone in your pocket....
Can this option be turned off?? The camera is able to switch on, even when the lockscreen is active.....
Grr,
Ronald
---------- Post added at 01:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:03 PM ----------
This option can be switched off.
I switched it off and will try if it helps.....
been shutting off like crazy today.
one point it didnt even boot until i removed the battery.
i really think the OP7 is not that great of a phone anymore.
Small update;
I haven't had a shutdown since I switched off the option to turn on the phone upon press off the camera button. I've done my best (put it in my pocket a lot etc). But couldn't manage it...
I would like to switch off the windows button also, but this isn't possible with simple settings...
Grr,
Ronald
Happens sometimes when I use 4th & Mayor.
i had this problem to, it would just shut down sometimes when it was in my pocket and sometimes just when i was using it. Usally after it had shut down on me my battery % went also bizar. This seems to be fixed with doing a normal reboot.
i m on the stock rom and did not rooted my phone.
For me the solution was to format my sd card.
Did this sunday and havent had a shut down now for two days.
if it comes back ill report it.
I am running for 6 and a half days without a reboot..... Still going strong....

tried it, but still restarts on me... :\
edit:
so i found how it restarts (at least i think).
if i hold the power button for a long time it will restart...
no need to even slide down to power off...
what's the point in slide down to power off if u can still turn it off by holding the power button...
Got an optimus 7 yesterday, had 3 restarts last night, I think its a Mango problem.
Small renewed update;
Shortly after my previous update the phone crashed (I was WIFI tethering, playing radio and then connected the USB cable so Zune started - this seems to much ).
Since this reboot I had some shutdowns again (2 I believe). All of these reboots after carrying the phone in my pocket and then sitting down (putting more mechanical force on the force).
I still think that the functions to switch on the phone upon pressing the 'windows' button and the camera button have something to do with the problem. I have switched off the camera button (in the camera settings), but when the windows button gets pressed and then (in the lockscreen) the camera button is pressed the phone still switches on in camera function.
Does anybody have a clue if it's possible to turn off these buttons for switching on the phone? These functions were introduced with the Mango update, as is the problem we're talking about.

Agreed.... Seems like stupidity....
I've read in some app comments that there are some applications that interfere with the phone going to sleep or with the wake up.
I've no reboot problem in this moment, I've seen two or three reboot since i bought it...
But can it be some app installed?

Same problem here. Had multiple restarts at random. Flashed my phone a few times, but it didn't help since I was installing 4th and Mayor every time. Then I flashed it again and didn't install 4th and Mayor. Seems stable now. <Fingers crossed>

Hi guys,
Not exactly the most positive of first posts but here we go. There's a problem with my phone that I can't find the solution for...
Essentially my phone randomly turns itself off (no power down sequence, almost as though the battery's being taken out if you know what I mean) and then it has difficulty in fully booting again. For some reason it also likes to revert my wallpaper back to the original as stock.
The first thing that I thought of was malware, with the wallpaper - so I tried a couple of anti-malware apps to no avail. As my device was rooted, I then flashed back to stock, locked and unrooted it and checked the behaviour. Again to no avail (then again I've never rooted/unrooted so this may have been done incorrectly). By the looks of it, the worst case scenario is a problem with battery connections/hardware...
So the question is have you guys come across this before? Is there a solution to this or is Google/LG going to have to give me a replacement?
Many Thanks.
Weird, I just had this happen couple hours ago, I was watching a video and close the app. I press the power button to put it to sleep. Just like 20 second later, I press the power to wake it and it don't do anything. I had to hold the power button to turn it on. I check the battery status afterward and it looks like it drop between 5-10 percent in the chart after it turn on. The battery must have failed or something. This also happen to my wife phone couple weeks back, although she had to do a hard reset(power+volume up and down) it have not happen again though.
Hello
First of all, welcome to XDA community!
Now, have you done anything with your phone? As in, root it? Flashed custom kernel? Flashed custom ROM? We would love to help, but you need to provide us what we need

Okay, here's what I had done when this all started:
- Rooted and unlocked.
- TWRP custom recovery
- Standard Kernel, no custom ROM.
I've reverted as much of this back to stock as possible through a nexus tool-kit, but it still has the issue. If I'm missing anything out let me know.

Did this happen before you had the phone rooted? Also did this happen one time only or happened multiple times? I also had this problem, but just turning off and not turning back on part. But that was only one time event and I believe it was because of the custom kernel.

Well, after completely reverting the phone back to its stock version and pretty much everything else, it's still doing it - which surely points to a problem with the chip (or something). So, I've contacted google about a replacement and so far so good - got through in 5 minutes and sorted out the RMA and everything, should be delivered in the next few days.
Thanks for the help anyway. I'm going to avoid rooting this one for the time being to see how it behaves.
I experienced "random shutdowns" and even posted about it here. Turns out it was my belt holster that was somehow the culprit. I don't know if it was mashing some weird button sequence to turn off the phone, or if the magnet interfered or something else, but as soon as I got it out of that holster I had no more random shutdowns.
I doubt yours is the same problem but I thought I'd post mine.

Funny I had the same thing happen to me last night. I was using the phone put it down for a minute or two and then could not wake the phone. What was interesting was when I couldn't get it to turn on I plugged in into the charger and let it sit for a few hours. When I was finally able to restart it using the the power, vol button the battery was at the same level before the incident. In other words whatever happened prevented the battery from being charged. I am stock and rooted and haven't loaded any new apps in over 2 weeks

I have almost the same problem as the op but I do have a shut down sequence. It does randomly shut down itself. The first thing I got the phone I rooted it and it was fine working on modaco for 2 weeks then one day it kept shutting down upon boot until like 10 tries later I successfully got back in but lasted only a few mins and sometimes hours. Im gonna rma this pos and I hope I can get it replaced soon. I try it with stock rom and kernel then modaco with stock kernel then modaco with faux kernel. Same problem.
I had these problems earlier ... I just gave HARD RESET by pressing power key for more than 5 sec.
Then i figured, it was due to Undervolting ! and Processor going to a DEEP SLEEP all together !
So i removed UVing and it was cool since then ! ... Although my signature says the rest !
I bought my N4 about 2 weeks ago, and it has turned itself off 3 of the nights I've had it. I don't have any hard evidence, but I have a theory on why it's doing it.
At first I thought it was because I used a Motorola usb cord instead of the stock cord because I read some people's theories on the internet, but it happened again (twice) after using the stock cord.
It seemed like it only shut off if I left WiFi turned on when I went to sleep (even then it was still a random occurrence). I went into my advanced WiFi settings and noticed Wi-Fi Optimization was turned on with the text "Minimize battery usage when Wi-Fi is on". I thought it might be the problem, so I turned it off. I left WiFi on last night, and the phone was still on in the morning. Again, it is still a random occurrence even with WF on, so I'm going to leave WF on at night for a few days/weeks and see if it happens again. I'll post back with results.
If anyone else has already tried this or has figured out a solution, let me know.
The same happens several times a week with my nexus 4 running latest cyanogenmod. I will revert it to clean stock in a few days to see how it goes. I don't think that is a hardware problem but time will tell.

Don't know if anyone is keeping up or cares, but I wanted to update and say that this did not fix the problem. 4.2.2 also did not fix the problem. I guess I could try getting a new one from Google.
My wife and I are both having this problem. Hers is completely stock, I'm unlocked and rooted. I was hoping it would be fixed with 4.2.2, but if it hasn't then it maybe time to get replacement N4s
I can't imagine this issue is very widespread, since there have only been a few threads about it. Its a big nuisance especially because it usually happens at night when I'm expecting my alarm to go off at night.
I hadn't wanted to send for replacements since it seems like a software issue but I'm getting fed up.

Just had this problem occur with my N4 last night..... Phone is 2 weeks old.
Went to bed, plugged in the phone to charge [it was at about 50% or so, so not exactly low].
Woke up at 8.30 wondering why my alarm didn't go off at 7.30.... looked over and the phone was off.
It also didn't want to turn back on either. Took about a minute of holding in the power button for various amounts of time before it finally kicked to life [at 100% charge too].
This is going to be a real problem if this problem reoccurs. At home I have a clock radio but I travel a lot and rely on my phone to wake me up!
Here's hoping we can start to identify what is causing this issue. All I can add is that it is not low-battery related.
As stated in the sig. Phone is unlocked/rooted with stock rom.
I've had 2 random reboots today, both while doing absolutely nothing......... if I called into VZW to get a replacement, it would likely be new, right?
Nevermind, called VZW, they said I could just turn it in for a new phone within the 14 days. Yay.

What's NiLS? I returned it and got a brand new replacement. The new one seems a bit more snappier and no reboots yet. I headed off the automatic re-installation of all my backed up apps by turning off mobile data shortly after I got it. Once I got errors on all of them I manually added the apps I really needed.
Seems like it worked... lopped Nova launcher on it and a cool icon pack... all is cool.

It's a app from Play Store. Obviously, something else caused reboots for you. I'm glad that everything worked out great for you.

I had the same problem today. It happened when I got a text. It rebooted like 3 times one after another. Then it just stopped. Weird.....
Anyone any ideas? I have the T-Mobile version. NOT ROOTED
another update
ok so maybe some good news here. i've been testing all day, locking/unlocking my phone and some normal random things to simulate activity. i have had zero reboot issues since i did a factory reset and zero reboots since i updated the gmail app.
HOWEVER.... the very minute i added the gmail widget to the locks creen i noticed that the widget said it was loading but didn't finish. my screen locked itself (as it should) because i wasn't touching it. So I double tapped the screen, scrolled to the gmail widget and it still said it was loading... then I unlocked it and BAM, rebooted.
after the phone rebooted i went to look at the gmail widget on my lockscreen before unlocking. everything is loaded. then when i tried to unlock the phone (im using a pattern unlock BTW) it rebooted again. Just now I removed the gmail widget from the lock screen and now I can get into my phone.
I hope this helps everyone else who is having the unlock reboot issue.
I just got LG G2 yesterday from Vodafone and today it just restarted 3 time and i think every time animation was 2 times i don't know why and i am sure the restarting started after i added gmail widget on Lock screen but now i removed the widget and now i am waiting can someone suggest a simple and permanent solution...plz
Hi all,
I have a black S7 Edge International version (Dual Sim version). The phone as a whole has been working great. I have been having certain issues though, they don't happen very often. So I'm not sure if its related to certain apps I have or if it's an issue with the phone.
Each issue happened on a separate day.
First problem: The phone froze when I was editing a photo on Adobe Lightroom. This was the first time I was using the app, so I launched after installing it. I tweaked a photo and noticed the phone lagging. They it froze, and I couldn't do anything on the screen. Nothing worked until I did a hard reset. Afterwards, the problem didn't occur again, although I haven't tried Lightroom since, so maybe I should, to see if the problem is with the app. Does this happen often with lightroom? Or could this be a phone issue?
Second Problem: On another day I had my phone randomly start vibrating, like it was receiving a call. I had just made three calls to my wife, and thought she was calling back. However, there was no call notification, and nothing on the drop down menu. There was also no ringtone. The phone kept vibrating, and wouldn't stop. I pressed the power button and reset, then the problem stopped.
Final problem: Today, I've been using the phone fine. However I was playing angry birds and then pressed the home button, so the game was still on it's memory, and being multitasked. I used the phone again a few times, then I noticed on the bottom that the game launcher circle (was on the bottom of my homescreen), even though the game was not open (still in the multitask window - I assumed) I tried to click the multitask window, and the button lit up, but nothing happened. The multitask window had frozen. Again it required a restart, and now it's working.
Given that I'm having these three issues (none have repeated themselves though), is this just the phone needing an OTA update, early phone bugs, specific 3rd party app issues, or is it a more serious problem?
Should I take the phone to Samsung and ask for a replacement, or should I wait it out?
Would love some advice from people, and would also like to hear if you've had similar problems.
Current firmware I'm on: G935FXXU1APB6
Thanks!
Does anyone have any feedback on this? Thanks!
I have the first problem on my phone.
But I didn't use adobe lightroom
and I've seen many user reported this problem in many different threads. it seen a known issue.
Thanks for that stone... Hopefully it's a bug... Would love to hear if anyone thinks that it requires a replacement... Also, i just found a dead pixel on the top corner of my phone... it's completely black...
Is that grounds for replacing the phone, or is samsung wishy washy about the whole thing?
I have the second problem; sudden vibrations with no reason, no app pending or anything else; I start to think it is associated with the Smart Alarm being activated (in Advanced settings).....
Anyway, really a bug, in fact the Smart Alarm and Smart Stay are known for having made other problems previously, but seems they didn't correct all the bugs.....

If there's a dead pixel I would return it.... There has been alot of people talking about freezing and rebooting... I've experienced too.... Most likely a software issue.... When I got the S6 last year my phone would reboot 3-5 times a day until a software update came out.... The continuous vibration I haven't heard anyone talk about... But if your still in you grace period I would get another phone for the pixels alone... Too nice and new to have to deal with that
Galaxy S7 edge
Hey, I have the same phone with the same firmware. I experienced the freezing right after I opened the camera from the lock-screen, it lasted for a few minutes and then went away. I'm waiting till Sunday to get the OTA and if I don't, I'm just going to update using Odin, considering how the firmware for the SM-G935FD and SM-G935F is the same.
Sounds good, thanks for the advice guys... I went to Samsung, and they said they would replace the phone for the dead pixel... Will take a week to arrive, but I'm just glad it's getting replaced...
I would return it immediately while it is within your return period.

Thanks Yerevan... I wanted to wait to see if I'd get an OTA update... Do you have the changelog for this firmware? What are the updates/improvements. THanks!
i mostly had camera freezes from lock screen and random reboots.... hopefully a software update will fix it
