Hello everyone,
I've had my note 4 over two years now and out of nowhere problems started happening after second MM update, model SM-N910F was freezing and restarting and sometimes was not able to boot normally and got mmc read fail.
I'm reading a lot about this problem in other forums and here, so hope someone could help about this issue.
No Success:
I tried anything from removing sd card, removing sim card, changing the battery, resetting the device, cleaning the cache, flashing the room through odin, flashing the rom with pit file and doing a re partition (Didn't tried Nand erase).
Success:
The only way that I was able to fix the freeze issue was by installing app called Wake Lock and enabling PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK.
But using Wake Lock has its disadvantages. First of all you need to run the app all times which its not practical and second it wipes your battery because it keeps device and processor awake.
Please join this thread anyone who has similar issues with the aim to fix or bring the phone to an usable state again.
I also purchased my GN4 about 2 years ago and just recently got this error. This is really fishy. Wouldn't be surprised if it was Samsung trying to screw over all the root users and get us to upgrade to newer models.

Did you tried Wake Lock if it works? Which model of GN4 do you have ?

Yes, I'm on the Canadian SM-N910W8 model of GN4.
I've been using the Wake Lock app for a few days now and it works perfectly, if you can get the phone to boot into homescreen that is.
For instance, when the phone shuts off due to low battery or an inevitable crash, sometimes getting the phone to boot up is a real pain in the ass because it doesn't boot up correctly most of the time.
However, one odd fix I've discovered is to put your phone and battery in the fridge for about 2-3 minutes and let it cool down completely. And then magically your phone will boot up properly to homescreen again. Activate Wake Lock and you're pretty much good until the next time your phone shuts off and can't boot. My phone will NEVER boot up to homescreen if it is even slightly hot in temperature. In order to boot, it needs to be cool.
I am highly confident that this is indeed a hardware issue, instead of a software issue. The mainboard fails to read memory properly which probably indicates that the mainboard needs to be replaced. I however cannot afford to do this so I hope that I can last atleast 2-3 years of my GN4 surviving through Wake Lock. :crying:

I really don't think it's an hardware issue but even if so, why this started to happen immediately after the update and why it only happens when the device goes to sleep or when we power on the device.
I also noticed the change on bootloader fonts and interface after the update. I'm suspecting that the problem is there.
Does any one has any thoughts about this?
It's a hardware issue. It's a bad nand issue in fact. You can find Reddit posts a mile long about it.
Anyways it will slowly get worse over time. Had to replace the main-board in my SM-N910W myself.

Is there any reason at all why it is happening I mean for the nand issue. I don't like the answer that is motherboard fault and we should replace it, which probably means replacing the phone. Is there anyone who can see deeper into the motherboard to find the issue. I also insist that this started to happen immediately after the second MM update.
I still have an IPhone 3G from 2008 and never changed anything on it. Isn't that ironic ?

It was a Bad batch of nand chip that started to go bad after a year or two. Note 4s started to drop like flies before April.
I think your in the 1st stage of Loss and Grief. 1st stage is denial.
If thats so than Samsung should repair our phones under warranty and not tell us we have to pay for the repair coz we installed custom roms.

I would be more interested in understanding how come so many Note 4 devices started acting up around same time mark...
This is definitely a hardware problem with the motherboard. Mine started giving the same symptoms 2 weeks after the 6.01 upgrade. Wakelock made it stable but after Samsung replaced the motherboard it is so much faster and no issues at all. I wonder if this is a faulty NAND issue whether the 6.01 upgrade and the way it manages memory could have triggered it. Certainly strange but it need Samsung to fix it.
I am also having same problem.
I was using custom rom and it was working fine without any lag or freeze suddenly one day my Note fall from bed to ground and since then it is not working properly i thought its the ROM so i reverted back to stock MM rom flashed via odin.
Reset everything erased everything but the problem remains same.
At present i am on stock with hardly any apps just FB and whatsapp.
But my device is so slow and keep lagging and sometimes it becomes very hot and restart itself.
I dont know what to do now. i m on 910 G snapdragon.

Sorry to hear that, as for now jut install wake lock and enable partial_wake_lock so you can use your device until it fails completely
Mmm. I was thinking to root my phone (4month old still under warranty ) i think i changed my mind after reading this ?. Thank you guy's for the warning

Same issues, I downloaded the wake lock and so far so good.
I have the same issue also guys and it started a week after updating to Marshmallow.
Phone worked perfectly fine for 2 years prior to this. So I highly doubt its a hardware issue and more likely a software/firmware problem.
Phone seems to have issues whenever the screen is asleep (hence why the wake lock app seems to help with this problem although not a proper solution)
I'm hoping Samsumg can release a patch fix for this as I truly love my Note 4 and would like to keep it for some time yet.
have anybody tried going back to Lollipop?

I was thinking about that! but I saw on other threads people downgrading with no success.
Got my 128 GB OP5 last night and it has been randomly rebooting on me while doing random things. I am trying to figure out a root cause and factory reset the phone again to see if I could figure it out as well but it seems to happen from doing anything as simple as pulling down the notification bar to activating Google assistant or just scrolling through my settings. Nothing seems to be repeatable as it happens intermittently. Wondering if anyone else has dealt with this and may have figured out what caused it otherwise I guess I'd have to order a replacement
No, works fine here.
i dont have OP5 yet so no reboots
No reboot until now but i can't pair any bluetooth device (Sony Smartwatch 3 and Jabra Motion Headset)
Mine hasn't done it yet but the wifi performance is abysmal, random pauses when transferring files, Facebook stopped while trying to set it up.
I have been using the phone since yesterday morning and haven't had any issues at all, not a single bit of lag, no apps crashing or anything. If a reset didn't help it that means it must be hardware problem. I would return it and get a replacement.
Yes, performance seems bad. Had a few reboots and WiFi download speeds are awful.

I've successfully paired a bluetooth keyboard with trackpad and a Wahoo Tickr HRM and both seem to work fine. The Wahoo seemed more difficult to connect but that may have been just operator error. I've not had any lock ups/reboots at all but haven't had the OP5 24 hours yet.

Quite the opposite for me as the WiFi is stellar and the 5Ghz speeds far outstrip the Nexus 5 this OP5 has replaced.
Haven't had any such issue on mine yet in Canada (8GB/128GB) *fingers crossed*

I've had the same as you -- Bluetooth Pebble & Car & Headphones have all worked amazing (including using AptX HD), and my WiFi speeds have been stellar (>50MBps download (Yes, MBps, not mbps)). My WiFi has not been cutting out in the corners of my house either, unlike my old phones and even laptop!

Yes, it's an issue for me. I've been in touch with OP Bug Hunter staff, and gave them the logs they requested to pass along to engineering to figure out why.
Yeah it kept rebooting on me even today so just got off the phone with OnePlus and an RMA has been created for a replacement device to be sent. Hopefully the next one isn't a problem, I'll keep you guys posted on the progress.
Umm had phone since Sunday not had any issues but today while on a call the phone rebooted it's self and again 20 minutes later just on home screen , I'm stock latest build , bought from O2 store should I take it back and ask for replacement while within my 14 days ??

Mines fine no issues build date 13th June
My phone is back with oneplus now so according to them should have a new one within the next week. Good thing I didn't sell my oneplus 3 just yet
I had two random reboots today and one random shutdown.
All these happened in my pocket and i realized the reboots due to vibration from reboot.
And one time I pulled it out of my pocket it was turned off.
Hi,
Got my phone Yesterday.
Started seeing random reboots today. Running latest version. I also did an factory reset of the device after I upgraded to latest version..
Any way I can troubleshoot this? Could an app be causing something like this? I do suspect that this started after installing Snapchat.. But I'm not sure..

I'm currently as I type on my way to local O2 store to exchange it for another so hopefully new one will be ok as only got it Sunday just gone , I would RMA it if I was you , will report back on my new one ?

I'm getting random reboots about every other day or so. Would this be indicative of a software issue versus hardware? I figure if this many people are having issues, but many are not, the hardware may not be a problem? This is my first OP device, so I'm just guessing. Hoping if it IS a software issue they can release an update soon!

Just got back from O2 store replaced with new device although it's the same manufacture date as one with issue 6/6/17 so far ok but it's only been on couple hrs so to soon to say, I'm convinced it was since 4.5.3 update as didn't do it before update but while i was in my 14 day return thought replace it anyway , I did contact 1+ before hand to ask if it's software or hardware all I got in reply was !! We will need proof of purchase to continue replacement procedure , that made alarm bells ring so hence straight back to O2 as it's far quicker than retuning to 1+ , I'm currently on 4.5.0 and not keen on updating ?

Hi,
I know this has been discussed many times, but I have something more to share regarding this, and maybe it can help anyone find a solution.
My X820 arrived last Friday, bought from Geekbuying. It had Indian 19s ROM, although it might be slightly modified by the shop.
Fingerprint was working well, but I wanted a better and more optimized ROM, so I flashed TWRP and got Small EUI. The worst thing is that I forgot one important step (yes, backup) and flashed the ROM right away.
Fingerprint kept working, but got worse. On Indian 19s, it unlocked the screen or apps very quickly, but on Small EUI it took it 1 or 2 seconds, so on Sunday morning I tried the calibration option under settings. That's the moment the fingerprint scanner stopped working. I spent some time on Sunday, and most of Monday trying different ROMS, but nothing worked. The sensor would not react at all, and would not let me add fingers.
Yesterday, I found a thread, on a OnePlus 2 forum, where people described a similar issue on that phone, and the way they got the sensor to work again: they drained the battery down to 0%, to the point when the phone would shut down by itself. Then they charged the phone again, and the sensor came back to life.
I tried that (I'm now on Cuoco92's 93c ROM), and after turning the phone on again, the sensor seemed to keep failing, but there was a difference. Before that, it wouldn't react at all, but this time, a message instructed me to keep my finger on the sensor for a longer time and to try again. This message was not appearing before.
I left the phone alone for the night, as I use it as an alarm clock, and in the morning I tried again, and it worked. I was able to register fingers and the sensor began working as usual, and unlocked the screen almost instantly.
But now,. two hours later, it is dead again. I've noticed it doesn't unlock the screen. I've just tried to remove the fingers I had registered earlier and see if I can add them again, but it doesn't work. This time, there's no message that instructs me to keep my finger on the sensor for a longer time, or to try again.
Well, I definitely haven't solved the issue, but I may have found something. Maybe others with dead sensors can try this solution and report back.
To drain the battery, I used this app: Your Battery Drainer
P.S.: BTW, I decided to try draining the battery because I remembered that when first I got the phone, the battery was empty. I almost freaked out when I tried to turn it on for the first time, as it wouldn't turn on, but it turned out to be that the battery was empty. After I left the phone charging for a while, it turned on normally.
I also just got my phone today 6gb RAM, 64gb UFS2.0.
Fingerprint very fast with 19s ROM.
I think I will stick with this ROM forever.

You should, that was my mistake (I think) besides the LeEco software, and maybe fp hardware, not being too good. I just flashed the stock Indian 19s ROM again and the sensor is not working. I'm now downloading the Chinese 16s version, which others reported helped them revive their sensors. If the Chinese ROM doesn't work, I'll flash the Indian ROM again and try draining the battery in the evening, as I did yesterday.

Will wait for your result . 19s is actually badly optimized. I got 99k in Antutu.
I try every method with roms with apps but fingerprint newer works.
today i read this thread, i try now to drain battery with this app and i cant believe fingerprint start work.
But how long fingerprint will work.
Is there a possibility quick charge 3.0 heat kill the fingerprint sensor? Did you enable quick charge in the menu? Mine one still disabled and I am now worry to turn it on.

That might be it. Today my sensor is not working, after draining the battery, but last night, when I charged the phone again, I did it with the fast charger. When I have the time, I'll try again with a pc or just disabling fast charging. Maybe you have a point there. Nice one.

You mean the modem files, don't you? That was also one of my next steps, but first I'll try draining the battery again and not using quick charge afterwards. When I first got the phone with an empty battery, fast charging was not enabled, so it took the phone ages to charge, but the fp sensor worked. I think we may be close to a solution for everyone, and something LeEco should know. Maybe they can implement an slower fast charge which doesn't interfere with the fp sensor.
Anyway, fp sensor was not my main reason for purchasing this phone, so it's not that high on my priority list.

As another user suggested, disable fast charging, if you have it enabled, and see if fp sensor keeps working afterwards. It's good to know this method worked for you, too
Well, after flashing the Indian 19s ROM and draining the battery, nothing changed, but it could still have something to do with fast charging. Although I had it disabled, when I plugged the phone in, using LeEco's original charger, it charged the phone fast, rather than slow, so I think that maybe it didn't work because of that. I'll repeat the process again, this time using an old regular slow charger.
Did anyone else tried? Did you succeed?

I scared that quick charge heat already kill the finger print. I mean hardware is dead.
But I still support support experiment to fix the fingerprint.
I think the FP problem has to do with HEAT. The FP failed to work when I was on holiday in Florida a few weeks ago. When I returned to the cool Toronto ,Canada, it is back to normal - works most of the time.

Fast charge generates a lot of heat, that's why it's our main suspect right now
Did you flash 23s modem? not the rom, only the modem and after the update of modem clean install of the rom ?
I have tried.. draining all battery from 25% to 0% and smartphone Switch off and after i charged almost 50% without fast charge and tourn on but unfortunatly fp still dont work
Listen guys, I hate to burst your bubble, but I have to... For starters, there are MANY people in the forums flashing all sorts of ROMs and different things, and their fingerprint readers still work. I can say the same thing for Quick Charge 3.0, everybody uses it, so I highly doubt that either of these things are causing the hardware failure.
Also, remember that OnePlus uses Dash charge and all heat is relegated to the charger and not smartphone.
I own two X829's that I bought from Banggood for $196 each a few months ago, and the fingerprint readers still work after countless flashing and charging, and believe me the phone has gotten incredibly hot at times too.
Early on though, I thought that my fingerprint reader had died because it stopped working on when I moved to the Nougat ROMs and later I found out that I needed a more recent modem for the fingerprint reader to work (23S or 419D), but what I have done in a panic was contact Banggood and I told them that my fingerprint reader had died on both my phones. I told them that I had already troubleshooted and consulted the forums. I told them that it was a common defect. I made a YouTube video for them showing the problem. They told me that I could return it to them to China and that they would refund me, but I told them that it cost too much to ship to China and that the last time I returned something to them it got lost in the mail. They then said that I could take the phones to a local repair shop and that they would refund me the cost of the repair, they said that the most they could refund me was $116, so I made a fake invoice for $116 and send it to them because I had bought two fingerprint readers from AliExpress for $7 each and wanted to repair them myself.
In the end I never needed the fingerprint readers because I was wrong and sold them on eBay, and Banggood refunded me the $116 for the so called repair, so in the end I only paid $82 for my Le Max 2. Hope this helps!

I cant say that. For me fingerprint works fast and good.
A friend with a S7 has got no better fingerprint detection
I would suggest to install the latest modem
I've tried everything and mine doesn't work. It worked for two days, then died, and two days later it revived for two hours, after trying the battery drain trick that seemed to work on other phones. It then died again, and hasn't worked ever since. Now I don't expect it to work, and I live happier without worrying about it. Unless someone comes up with a "magical" solution, which I highly doubt. The phone can work without it and the fingerprint scanner is not even among the main 5 reasons why I bought this phone (those being RAM size, screen size, screen resolution, storage capacity, camera quality)
Did you try to update the modem firmware?
IF not, download 23S version and flash in recovery.

The phone can work without it and the fingerprint scanner is not even among the main 5 reasons why I bought this phone (those being RAM size, screen size, screen resolution, storage capacity, camera quality)

I bought because of the specification.

But you cleared cache and dalvik cache? if yes, the fingerprint has a hardware problem.
You can find all the firmwares here. 419D or 26s have been reported to fix the fingerprint scanner.
fingerprint authentication
In my case, fingerprint authentication now works after burning slim7.

I also tried that (and the rest of the Android 7 ROM's) and got the same result: nothing. I guess mine has a hardware problem
try calibrating the fingerprint sensor. Seems to work fine after that.

My fingerprint sensor died right after using calibration. The sensor accuracy seemed bad (it would unlock just 1 out of every 3 times, even after having registered the same finger twice, as recommended by many people) so I decided to try calibration. I calibrated the sensor and it died.

That's sad. This trick has always seemed to work for me.
my fingerprint sensor started to vibrate after update just the modem firmware to 23s chinese
and i'm still on the indian stock firmware 19s
But I am still unable to complete the registration process, it vibrates 3 or 4 times and stoped
i guess i will try again after my phone cool down
sorry for my english

That's what happened to me when my sensor came back to life temporarily. It started vibrating but did not register the fingers, just kept telling me to try again. Next morning it registered the fingers, but the sensor died again two hours later

Lucky you. I hope it lasts for you
As a last resort, I just tried flashing the latest Cuoco92 ROM via flashboot, and that didn't help, either, so I think I'm definitely giving up on this. I've been enjoying the rest of the phone features with no problems, but this fingerprint issue, although it lets you keep using the phone, is quite annoying, and proof (again) of how disastrous (if not nonexistent) Chinese QC is. Sometimes I even think about filing a dispute through Paypal and getting a refund.
My FP dead after less than one week I got Lex829 now I got the phone almost 6 months. I was running Tora33 23S stock rom for long time with the dead Fingerprint. Recently I installed (flash by TWRP) official stock Eui rom 26S and tried test Fingerprint just for fun, miracle does happen it came back alive and still working until now with stock 26S rom. FP speed kinda slow but its ok for me just glad its working again
Hi,
Can someone please pm me if you can or have recommendation to someone/service that can unlock my bootloader from android 10. Techmesto does not appear to be responding.
Even I’m trying to do the same. Were you able to unlock your phone's bootloader?
Hi,
Yes techmesto replied approximately a week later and finally connected with them. It took maybe 20 minutes for them to unlock it. Phone has been working great since. Will strongly recommend /e/ os. The os runs smooth and everything just works well.

Did they do it for free or charge something? Also, /e/os on Nokia 6.1 plus?
I’m planning to get Lineage OS instead because i want my banking apps to work too.
Yes it was a small fee like 10$ I can't remember exactly how much. /e/ os has microg implemented and you can use banking apps too. They work fine for me anyway...
