Android is starting after reboot before home screen. - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Whenever I restart my GS8 I get Android is starting before my home screen comes up. Does this happen to anyone else? It hasn't done it before. Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Happened to me when I tried to hibernate some of my apps. I accidentally hibernated Touchwiz Home. That might be one of the reasons to your problem. Its either your touchwiz is not working or it is disabled.

Random Reboots

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.
Do you have chrome beta installed?

Nope, just standard Chrome as factory installed.
Going to go pick up another unit later today. Wondering if there are any other programs that screw this phone up......

That's why I asked.
NiLS? I had several reboots with that app. Removed it and no reboots for the last two days.

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

[Q] My magazine notification issue

Hi everyone,
I've been running my Note 3 with Nova Prime for the last week now and it's been great. I was able to get rid of the swipe up gesture to open My magazine. However, recently (in the last 24 hrs or so) I am randomly getting a popup notification "Unfortunately. My Magazine Here and Now has Stopped". As far as I can tell, I've gotten about 5 times now. I just press okay and it goes away, but its a little annoying because it never did this. I've tried clearing cache, restarting the phone, but it keeps coming back.
Is anyone having this issue? Did I perhaps change a setting that I shouldn't have? Or, did my phone get OTA update that I didn't know about?
Sorry, new to Android.
Thanks in advance.

Yes, this is happening to mine too. I'm also running Nova so I wonder if that has something to do with the error.

+1 for getting this error. I am running nova but the error pops up while browsing the gallery and also in a few apps. It makes the phone unresponsive for about 5 sec and then I get the notification.
I am getting this error message as well... anybody found solution to fix this? at least I would like to know what is causing this issue...
Thanks in advance!
Having the same issue
I am having the same issue as well. Can't even uninstall or disable that app.
It's start to happening to me as well and it's annoying. I never root my phone or anything. How to fix this or completely remove it? Thanks
My phone also locks up for a few seconds before it displays the notification. I getting annoying too as is happening about 4-5 times a day now while in different apps. Last night or was in waze and this morning it was in calendar.
I'm thinking of restoring my phone but I really don't want to.

Having Same Issue
I have cleared the cache and force stopped the app and still get the notification . Just started a few days ago.
I too have tried to narrow down the issue in application manager, with no luck. Really frustrating!
The solution
Uninstall FlipBoard. This worked for me. If Flip Board cannot be uninstalled, the remove the latest update.

I uninstalled FlipBoard and the error continued, it happens to me about 2 times per hour. Then the next time I rebooted my Note3, Flipboard updated itself again.
I'm not exactly sure why but I haven't had the issue for about a day now. Fingers crossed.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk
Same issue here. This is the crap that annoys the hell outta me. Why cant I remove this or disable it at the least. Flipboard cant be uninstalled. I removed the latest updates still the same issue. Turn off auto updating will stop the app from auto updating. Ive disabled auto updates for now, not confident that will cure the issue...
I'm having this issue as well. It's weird that it's happening even when launch the dialer to call someone. It freezes for around 5 seconds, and displays the error message.
Me too

So after being error-free for about 4 days, it's back. I've gotten the error four times already today, three of them while running waze on my way to work. Doesn't really make sense since I wasn't even handling the phone at the time.
Has anybody tried rooting their phone and removing all the magazine stuff with titanium backup?

Same problem here...new to Android
Hello. I am having the same problem here as well. I have only download a few things before I started having this crash. In fact, my phone seem to be pretty unstable with numerous things crashing, including the camera app, as well as some other camera apps. I don't really think I have installed too much, or anything crazy, but then I am just starting with Andoid, so not really sure. Just came from iPhone. Want to root...just not sure what I am doing yet. But if it will help get rid of this problem, I am game...but this is pretty uncool. Will I loose my S Pen Air Command on my Note 3? I have read conflicting reports.
Thanks!!
If anybody has any new developments, please post.
Thanks!!
I found something that works
If you open up that magazine app by swiping up, then click on the 3 lines, then uncheck every thing except social.
That worked for me!

[Q] Random Restarts?

Over the past few days I have noticed that my D800 will randomly restart. It does it in this way every time...I will go to unlock the phone by double tapping and the front LED will turn white as it is supposed to, then it will just hang there with a black screen until the ATT logo shows again and it boots back into my lock screen. Why is this happening? Has it happened to anyone else? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Opps i just started a topic on this. I have sprint g2 and i was suffering the same issues. I dont know what i did to fix it. But it seems fine now.

hello, I experienced the same trouble last week. I remove Gmail (as it was proposed in an other thread) and reinstall it. Since then, no more reboot . It seems that one update of Gmail is creating some trouble.
cross the fingers it does not appear again ;0)

Thank you for the suggestion! I had just uninstalled via Titanium Backup and re-installed from the play store. I'll let you know if it happens again. thanks!

[Q] Black screen when quickly pushing lock

I'm having a bit of a weird issue with my new Verizon GS5.
Scenario: I am doing something such as reading a text, decide I'm done and lock the screen, and then a second or two later realize I forget to check something and hit the lock button again to turn it back on. Most of the time when I do this the physical buttons will light up but the screen will stay black, and a few seconds later the physical buttons will turn off. This will happen a few times until finally the screen turns on and I see the lock screen.
I had a similar issue with my Galaxy Nexus (rooted and running Kit Kat) phone prior to the GS5 and figured it was my old hardware- is this some Kit Kat bug?
Thanks for any input
Same issue here. But I can't figure out if it was due to switching to ART or not.
We can wait others reply with this i hope someone will post a tip on this kind of problem.
I switched to art after installing apps and I'm ha ing this issue didn't really play with phone much until after switching to ART. Is anyone having this issue not on ART?

Yes this is happening to me running Dalvik.
Happened just now to me. It has happened a few times.
Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
Had this a time or two. It's like the power button doesn't register or something. Yes I switched to art.
I have found though that if I hold power for a second it pretty much fixes itself without having to do anything crazy like yanking the battery or restarting the phone.
Imo: not a big deal, doesn't seem to happen a lot for me.

This is actually becoming quite an annoyance to me and happens very often. I'm still on Dalvik. Could this be caused by an app?
I feel like half the time I go to use my phone the screen doesn't turn on.

I'm having the same issue for the past two days; although, I am not switching between apps or anything (only trying to use the phone). No display, but get sound/vibration from buttons and LED lights from soft keys. Unfortunately, both times required me to yank the battery. My S5 is completely stock (not using ART) and have manually reinstalled my apps from old device. Any suggestions?
I am not experiencing this and I have switched to ART...

I hope this isn't the case. Once again I experienced these EXACT same issues with my Galaxy Nexus running 4.4.2. I can't help but think it might be some app causing it since not everyone has it.
I am noticing this every once in a while. But it's mostly right after I shut the screen off after a large processed app or task, and then remember something I forgot to do and try and turn it back on and there is some lag bringing up the screen again.

I was about to return my S5 to Verizon for this very reason. I haven't switched to art and have been having the screen go black on me, you can tell the phone is on because the physical buttons are lit. It seems to happen to me alot when I take the phone off the charger and hit the on button. I will hear the phone rebooting, but not see the boot animation. Thats when I do a battery pull. Holding the button doesn't do it. I also have had a few random reboots. Thats ok...I'm going to try every root method under the sun..gggrrrr..lol
I've started to try to uninstall apps to see if I can narrow down the issue. It still plagues me at least half the time I try to use my phone.
This is happening to me as well. Not as often. I'd say once a day, but I have to pull my battery to restart it. I did 2 factory resets and am now using a new google account as per verizons request and I added apps slowly. I have been fine until I put a second launcher on. I installed the GEL launcher but did not use it just to see if having multiple launchers could cause this glitch. Could it be this? Is everyone else using a different launcher? Also the only time I ever had it happen while messing with the phone was two times while working in light flow. Any one else connected to those two happenings? Trying to narrow down what could be causing this.
Running ART here, I'm not sure if I'm getting this problem, but I have realized some latency from pressing either the home or power button and the screen turning on. Not sure what causes that lag, but it's a good almost full second whereas my S4 would be instant

I would assume this is NOT the physical hardware issue, but the software, I heard somewhere that Samsung version of KitKat 4.4.2 is quite buggy and glitchy.

Anyone have any further ideas yet? I'm not running ART bit I was able to have it happen again when I had Google experience launcher installed. Removed it and it hasn't happened for two days. I'm installing Google launcher again now to see if that was causing the issue.
Anyone else with further developments?

Experiencing Major Reboot Issues

Let me preface this by saying this is my experience. I am passing this off to see if others are experiencing the same thing. I am not dissing this phone because I really like it.
I have seen more than 10 random reboots with this phone. The crazy part is when the phone reboots, I lose settings.... Like a lot of them. I recently experienced and my notification bar started malfunctioning where the settings would not pull up and I could not long press panels. I finally had to factory reset my phone.... After that, it rebooted again this morning while I was listening to the radio.
At this point I am going to have start a log to try to correlate where the problem might be.
This is very concerning. I have never experienced anything like this even with custom Roms.
Please let me know if anyone else is experiencing this.
Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk
I've read that other people are experiencing this too. Hopefully mine doesn't come like this. I would recommend returning it and getting a new one. This is ridiculous that this is happening
Try removing all apps you installed and see if you cant pin it down to an app but if all said and done and phone is stock meaning you installed no additional apps and still see it happen then to me sounds like a Hardware problem and you should return it for a replacement.

I'm having the exact same issues. Once or twice a day, usually in USA Today or IHeartRadio, it reboots. Once I experienced that loss of settings also and had to factory reset. I'm going to return the phone.

Go into recovery mode with phone completely off .volume down+home button+power button.If that doesn't work factory reset and if that doesn't work return the phone or if possible reflash stock firmware through ODIN.

I have been watching watchespn for about an hour with my bluetooth headphones... No problem. I need to test iHeartRadio some more. With that said, I think there is a deeper issue here just because I've never seen settings get changed like that.

Just switched back to iHeartRadio on bluetooth, I was coming here to read a reply so I clicked the home button and rebooted.

The beta version (6.0.0) of the IHeartRadio app seems to have fixed my reboot problem (which was happening on both bluetooth and earphone modes).
Update, it is still rebooting, even using the beta.
First reboot of the day. IHeartRadio and Bluetooth. I am already running 6.0.0 of the app.

My experience was different. I didn't have any random reboot but I did get the phone just hang.
Before my Springbreak trip I was testing out a sport camera and downloaded an app that could remotely control the camera. Everything seemed to be working smoothly during the test. Then when I was done, I shut down the camera, turned off the phone and started packing up.
Then I needed to use the phone, so I turned it on.. it's turned on but I couldn't do anything, the screen was unresponsive.. I couldn't swipe or press anything... I attempted to reboot it... the power button still worked... the reboot menu came on but I couldn't press anything... I still could turn the screen on and off and brought up the reboot menu.. but jsut couldn't do anything with it..
Only one option was available which is to force it reboot by holding Power and Down volumne.
That was weird, especially on a brand new device.
I've seen it reboot a few times, and it is especially annoying when you are trying to show your device off and it reboots...in front of people...randomly. I am not sure if I want to return it just yet because it is a Touchwiz/android bug that I have experienced on other devices as well. It MAY be an app issue but I can't pinpoint it yet.
I was trying to launch my DJI Phantom app and it just hung/restarted - got stuck on tmobile screen and it wouldn't let me do a hard-reset! Had to wait a few mins and it recycled.

This is exactly what happened to mine, I was going to return it and put it on the charger and it rebooted. Knock on wood, No problems since. I'm going to keep a close eye on this in case I need to exchange.
Yes, same here. Bluetooth headset with iHeartRadio makes the phone reboot and lose some settings. Maybe a bug with iHeartRadio and 6.0.1.
