Phone stuck in soft reboots when enabling WiFi

Hi all,
Samsung Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505)
Android v5.0.1 - Official Samsung ROM
Baseband version: I9505XXUHOE3
Kernel version: 3.4.0-4760392
Last week, all of sudden, when I enabled WiFi, it did a soft reboot and was stuck in a 'loop'. I could not do anything apart from taking the battery out but as soon as I put the battery back in & powered it on, it keeps soft-rebooting. After trying a few times to gain access to the homescreen, I gave up and did a full factory reset.
Once I did that, enabling WiFi worked fine.... until this afternoon, when I enabled WiFi, it did the soft-rebooting all over again!
Between last week and today, there is no 'pattern' of what app I installed that would have caused this. I am at a loss and a bit fed up having to re-setup everything all over after a factory reset.
I searched via Google, did not find anything, so I thought I'd ask here...
Question: Is this a hardware issue or something else? What can I do to investigate and narrow down to what the actual issue is?
Thanks all.

This is still ongoing and I'm getting bored with doing a factory reset each time it happens.
But the fact that no one replies made me curious... could it be a hardware fault?
I even set it up with NO installed apps and it still happens so it must be hardware, yeah? Perhaps SoC?

Help with Note 4 boot loop...

Phone: Note 4
Version: 4.4.4 custom rom
Model: SM-N910F
Hi all looking for some advise. Rooted my phone a long time ago and never had a problem til recently. Within the last month my phone keeps going into boot loop and I need to put on charge to stop it, even if I have battery. Certain apps like the camera cause the boot loop and sometimes its just random.
Just wondering the best way to stop this? Isit safe to just install another custom rom over the one I've got and will that solve the problem? Haven't played around with custom roms in a long time so can't remember anything.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.....

Any suggestions please I'm desperate? Just getting worse my phone has to be on charge now or it goes into the boot loop every 10 mins or so.

make a nadroid backup and do a factory reset thru the phone settings? I'm thinking it could just be a misbehaving app update, if you didn't make any new modifications to your note 4.

I did that yesterday and it's helped a little. Still get the boot loop but not as often. The camera is usable now but I'm still getting the boot loop sometimes..... Any other ideas?

Install a different custom ROM or simply Odin flash a stock firmware.
Instructions of installing a custom ROM is stated in the OPs of the ROMs.

Need help. Boot loop on J320P that was a friends.

Hey everybody, I need help. I have a J320P that is stuck in a boot loop, when it was found like this by my friend they came to me and asked if I could help. I have no information on how this happened other than they took a shower and when they came back it was like this. I have tried installing stock firmware 3 times to no luck. I might have an sd card somewhere with the backup for this phone but finding it would take some time so in the mean time I am turning to the forums. If anyone could help that would be amazing. I will provide more information and answer questions as they come.
Steps I have taken:
1. dirty flash of stock latest firmware
1. wiping the phone completely
2. Installing latest stock firmware
3. Still bootlooped

Not solved
So after triple wiping through TWRP and installing the stock firmware again it was still looping so i left to run to the store quickly and when I returned I tried powering it on and it loaded normally and I am still setting it back up.
Leaving the original comment. After coming home from work my friend said it had started doing it again, and it is. This time there was no root and no system anything messed with, does this mean there is a hardware problem?

I need help, my tablet is not working anymore.

Can anyone tell me if the tablet's battery might be responsible for it restarting itself? For example I was using it with a custom rom, and until the moment everything was working normal, and suddenly it started to restart, just by opening an application it crashes and reboots, I already tried to install the stock rom and it got worse, I could not even leave the samsung logo. I was able to install TWRP, but every time I try to reinstall the stock rom before it even starts it hangs and restarts, it has reached a point that it hangs and shuts itself. (Backup from twrp).
My tablet is the model SM -T560, I was using LineageSo 14.1 from T561. If anyone knows anything I appreciate it. The reason for the doubt is because I already took another tablet to repair and according to the technician, that could be the reason, the system was crashing, but from what I researched it was a chronic defect so I did not perform the battery replacement. Now i don't have any money to bay a new battery, and the device became an expensive paperweight.
Help please.

Hello everyone, for those who are in a similar situation, in which the tablet can not open an application without it restarting, reinstalling the stock rom and it keeps crashing and restarting, tried everything via software and did nothing for nothing. The battery arrived today and I'm testing to see if the problem solved and so far everything seems okay, I hope I can help with something.

Uhm Yeah you can help with something, Sorry I wasn't a member when this was posted. Do you by any chance have the CM12.1 Custom ROM for the SM-T561? it's okay If you only have one for the SM-T560

Is my phone bricked?

Hi!
So i've recently had some issues with my Samsung galaxy s8+
With the introduction of the new Pie Beta update i thought it would be cool to try it out!
I had to downgrade my firmware and so i did via ODIN.
This failed initially duo to a bad cable, i quickly replaced with OEM one.
Alright! We are able to boot into the OS, i stuck my SD card in the phone and updated its firmware succesfully.
HOWEVER; My phone would reboot once in a while out of nowhere and i figured i was on a Beta that might cause issues
started removing all of my apps in hopes it would help. Unfortunately in either safe mode OR clean factory wipe.. I was still running into reboots.
Alright ok, eventho no one on the forum complained about reboots.. I'll take my loss and i'll just flash back to stock..
However; it seems like the phone just freezes up now in everything!
Freezes up in Download mode; Freezes up during boot of new OS
i was able to reflash via ODIN by the way it just wont let me load into the OS. I've tried different ROMS
I can't wrap my head around it!
Should i just take my loss and buy a pixel 3 ? i was hoping to extend my contract with the new Samsung Galaxy S10+ but i can't do without a phone for a month.
Thank you in advance!
UPDATE:
I've succesfully been able to load into the OS at the moment. Let's see how long this lasts!
Aaand about 6 Minutes later i get a reboot

Yeaaah, it's dead.. After rebooting more and more frequent
It doesn't turn on anymore.
