HI EVERYBODY
I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY GALAXY S5 G900F
IT KEEPS REBOOTING SO I TRIED A SOFTWARE AND IT DIDN'T WORK
SO I FLASHED A CUSTOM ROM THEN IT WORKED FOR A WEEK AND THE PROBLEM SHOWED UP AGAIN
SO NOW EVERYTIME I FLASH A CUSTOM ROM THE PHONE WORKS FOR COUPLE OF DAYS AND THEN THE SAME PROBLEM KEEPS COMING BACK
..
..
..
ANY IDEAS
Hi there,
Can you please define what "a software" means? What custom ROM did you install? Have you tried reflashing stock ROM and try isolating the problem (so, don't install you're usually apps, test them one by one) whether it is an app caused issue or hardware (happens regardless of app/ROM install)? Have you considered getting a new battery? Apologies for the vague questions but the level of detail provided is not sufficient for us users to effectively help.
Regards, Saber
HEY.....thanks for reply

A SOFTWARE:Installing firmware by odin :good:
I tried lots of custom rom like lineage os 14.1 , cm 13 and flyme os
The only apps i use are social media apps, nothing needs root access or may be harmful
Yes i tried a new battery and it didn't work
Sorry for bad English

i think we have the same problem, does your phone turn off vibrate twice then reboots?

You mentioned changing the battery? Is it a Samsung original battery replacement? Cos I think mine was caused by overheating up to 70C and rebooting. I'm planning to under clock in a while.

Nope, it's not original but i'll try that
But why it takes couple of days to brick even when the phone is not in use

i think the main problem here is the part that detect the battery percentage, or atleast the battery itself. Since i plugged in my phone then it hanged so i had to pull out the battery then put it back on while still plugged in, then my batter percentage increased from 24% to 45% by just doing that.

I tried a new battery and that didn't work so i don't think that it is a battery issue
But if the part that detect the battery percentage is broken,that's mean we have to replace the entire motherboard

Hi all. I bought a tab s2 for my step-dad this past Christmas and it keep rebooting once reach like 15-20% battery. One point, it got stuck on Samsung logo. I had to hard reset. I ended up exchanging that tablet with Amazon. Now the exchange tablet is doing the exact same thing. What are the odds of this happening again? Do these suffer from random reboots? I don't want to exchange again and it happens for a third time.
The tablet went to 0% charge. And it didn't turn on since then. It's currently on Samsung logo. I have older samsung tablets. And this never happens.

I've been using my SM-T715 for the last 1.5 years and can't remember a single reboot irrespective of battery level.
For others to help, consider sharing your model number and firmware being used. :angel:

i know. i dont have the tablet with me at the moment. but i cant check that anyways. since the tablet wont reboot..
So I sent the tablet in for repair.. they swapped the motherboard.. two days later.. it does the same thing.. so bizarre.. once it reaches zero.. turns off it wont turn back on.. stays on samsung logo screen...

Wth is going on with this tablet. I finally got it replaced by Samsung. New one is doing the exact same thing. Tablet is been used lightly. The tablet died to 0%. Now it doesn't want to turn on again. Crap is annoying.
Going to restore and install one app at a time and see if maybe it's an app that causing it. It has to be.
I have the same issue with S2 9.7". It randomly reboots with more chance the lower the battery is. Mostly zero chance above 50% then with around under 30% it happens way more often, especially when you install/update apps. So I guess the entire Tab S2 line has a battery issue, maybe a too low voltage over time, resulting in CPU/flash memory becoming instable of too low voltage. Mine was actually just 2 weeks old after showing the issue. Instead of swapping the battery, the repair service mostly will just swap the motherboard, which will not solve this issue.
Thought I had a fix - but I just got a reboot
Hey everyone. Just wanted to tell you i got the exact same problem in my T713. It's most certainly a spike on battery usage and the inability of the battery to keep up due to degradation, as this problem presents when I'm trying to do intensive tasks like watching videos on youtube or entering many apps in a short timespan.
My personal fix was to underclock the CPU maximum frequency using smartpack from 1804Mhz down to 1612Mhz. Obviously you need to root your device for this fix. Once i did this the rate of random reboots diminished substantially while minimally impacting performance. I know its not a perfect solution, but if you use your tablets just lightly, this might certainly work. Changing the CPU governor to some conservative mode might also do.
Hope this helps everyone.

Seems to work for me too on my T719. For the first time in ages I was able to use my tablet until it shut down itself because the battery was too low, usually it started rebooting at 35-40% of battery.
Thank you.

I just installed SmartPack-Kernel Manager (ROOT) from the playstore. Open the app and click the hamburger on the top left. Go to CPU and change the Maximum Frequency. Swipe over the Apply on boot.
I turned mine down to 1382 and I can make it to about 25% before it starts to reboot. We will see if that is good enough for the kids.
Thanks for sharing, will try this too!
I have had the tab sent back under waranty but the problem returned.
At first manifesting itself using a boating navigation (navionics) but this morning opening the play store also rebooted.
After recharging when making a backup AND trying above solution at 40% battery I could at least start navionics, which was hard before.
Edit:
Rebooted below 23%, changed cpu settings but forgot to reboot to apply.
Now at 11% and navigation still working.
Edit2:
For the first time in I think over a year I have been able to use the tablet for hours on end!

Thanks a lot, it did indeed help. I set the frequencies using Kernel Adiutor and for the first time in weeks I was able to use the tablet below 50% battery.
Hello!
Just got a note 4 from my friend to play with since he's not using it anymore. The problem is that the phone heats up a lot whenever its on, even if the screen is off.
My guess is that the processor receives too much power from the battery? Or is it possible that the problem is related to the CPU? Or is it the battery?
Right now im tempted to buy a new replacement battery just to see if the battery is the problem. But i hope for some advice if you guys have experienced this before. Thanks!
Update 1: Changed the battery. The drain is much slower compared to before but the phone still gets really hot. Any idea why?
I have the same problem. I am not sure why overheating happens but I think about few things: constant Wi-Fi activity, a lot of installed apps, low free memory.
I just ordered a battery to see if its the problem
Yesterday my phone was very hot and very slow. I thought battery can't be the reason but I was wrong. I replaced my few months used battery with my old one and phone worked normally. So battery can be the reason for overheating.

I tried nemesis and erobot but they were pretty laggy since i had to use minimum clock speeds or else it gets hard to hold the phone cause of the heat. Also i think one of them had spacelemon kernel but i couldnt change the clock speeds and the phone became unbearably hot so i quicky changed to bliss then superstock
Got a new battery today will pop it in when i get home.

When im in the OS yes it does. But when i was in TWRP last night it was pretty normal unlike the time before the new battery. Also the idle drain is disturbingly fast i left it on last night and when i woke up today it was fully drained. Still trying to find out if there are apps causing the drain
Maybe latest firmware cause that. I am planning to flash 5.1.

It runs relatively cooler (like cool enough that i can use it without a case without burning my hand, it just gets warm) on rulinglite rom which is on the 5.1.1 version so it does have something to do with the firmware maybe. The battery still drains too much though even in safe mode so im not sure anymore on whats the problem on my note 4

Unfortunately nothing i try fixes the overheating i read at a note 5 forum that his phone overheats constantly because of the too many charging cycles probably damaged the motherboard. I think that might be the cause of overheating here too.
Also no problem with unmounting or anything else. Just the overheating and the massive battery drain even when the screen is off

Sad to say that these note 4's probably cant be used as daily drivers anymore i have to charge mine to every 3 hours lol since thats all the battery life it can give on a single full charge
Such a shame since the screen is so good and the camera is super crisp too. I will probably just use it for some daylight photography haha
Have you tried simpl rom?
Using genuine samsung batteries or 3rd party?
NFC on,bluetooth etc?
Tried with mem card and sim out?
Which model you have,exynos or qualcomm?
Have 2x910C here and no probs.

I have C version of Note 4. I bought new battery but I still have problem with overheating and random memory card unmounting. I have a lot of applications and latest firmware. I didn't tried to use 5.1.1 firmware and don't know how to solve this problem.
This post is probably hardware related, so I hope it's not that irrelevant here.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S8, SM-G950FD that hasn't been used for over a year because it's gone completely dead. Won't turn on, not even battery charging display, i tried charging it overnight and still no results, the battery doesn't even get warm. I've tried bringing it to a service center but they don't fix Samsung phones, so I decided to try fixing it by myself.
The first thing I do is I check the battery, it does look weird but I'm not sure if it's the main problem. Here's the image of the battery.
My question is, could the battery be the reason the phone won't turn on? or could it be other things such as my charging port, or the display screen itself?
Again, sorry if I made a mistake somewhere, thanks for any help.

The charger might provide enough current to open the boot menu. Booting uses a lot more current.

If they are good they have to unless they reached their auto shutdown voltage. Typically they have a 50-70% charge.
Hell you can get a used N10+ for $300 and up. It's a quantum leap in performance.
Do you have any indication it is booting? Like do you feel it getting warmer? If you do it could be a bad screen. I have an S8 with a bad screen and it's just blank but I can tell it's booting because of it getting warmer and vibrating. I think the S8s are known for having the screens fail. I can get a replacement screen on Aliexpress.com for less than $100 but it would only be worth it to me if I could put on a custom ROM. Unfortunately, bootloaders on snapdragon S8s can't be unlocked and probably never will be. So it's not worth it and I guess it's going to the recycler.
The irony is that my old Exynos S7 is happily running a custom Android 12 ROM and doing everything I need it to do. So if you are in the market for a super cheap unlockable Android phone you can't go wrong with an Exynos S7 running Custom Android 12 ROM.
I just bought an Exynos S10 off ebay which will be replacing my S7. Qualcomm/Samsung can go pound sand trying to force us into upgrading our phones every few years.
my phone wont do anything. i plugged it in a wireless charger and it shows as charging but nothing is happening. it doesnt turn on or do anything.
the last thing i did on it was flash android 12 rom, and it kept shutting down due to heating up. after that i flashed back to a one ui rom where it was fine, then it shut down and now this.
please help.

Might have fried something on the mobo like the SOC. Forced thermal shutdowns aren't good.
