Hello there xda.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 SM910F.
So what is happening to my phone is that whenever I am in any random app lets say reddit or even chrome for example. It will like freeze for a minute or two and then unfreeze.
In more extreme cases it will reboot.
So this happened randomly because I flashed a Stock unbloated 5.1.1 ROM from here back in december and everything was working smoothly and stuff. I had xposed installed and all my apps. Then in February it started with this random freeze/reboot. I had not installed anything else apart from what I had for the last 3 months.
So I restarted the phone, changed the battery and stuff to see whether that will fix it. However it didn't. So I formatted the phone (the soft type) just so I can install another ROM. So I tried another ROM, flashed the correct CP and BL and stuff and then just installed chrome and whatsapp. After an hour or two the same thing happened. So this time I factory reset he phone, like a complete wipe and I installed the unbloated ROM once again with few apps. Same thing happened...
So my last resort was to install Cyonagen Mod. After an hour or two same thing happened...
I don't know what is the problem. I read about some peoples phones emmc failing and thus the freezing, but I am not sure yet.
Please could you guys explain what I should do to fix this?
Thank in advance!
I have the same problem. Starting on mid january. I'm on stock 5.1.1 with root and twrp recovery
Tried backup and factory reset
I went back to stock after I factory reset the phone. And still had the same problems.
People say that its a hardware problem... So I guess I'll have to send it back to Samsung soon.
I think I tripped the knox. I just have to unroot and get it back once again to stock and send it back. I hope that they accept it.
i have the same problem. my model is SM-N910W8 and I bought it from 2nd hand, so no receipt and no prove of purchase.
can I still send it back to samsung to fix it?
same problem as you and now my phone died completely .
my phone was 4 months and he has not supported any longer he died naturally lol.
my operator gave me another free under warranty because the phone had a faulty motherboard and after several back galaxy note 4
This started happening to me a week or so ago and my phone just got stuck in a boot loop after it froze and rebooted. I'm on the latest stock firmware. Tried factory reset, reflashed stock firmware, nothing helps. It still reboots (sometimes it almost gets booted completely, other times it reboots after 2 seconds.
Just disable finger print. Yes that magic feature offered by Samsung is causing more hungry that happiness since S5

Many thanks. This was driving me mad for a few days, I had tried three different ROMS, completely wiping everything. I eventually went back to stock, which I'm still running and it was the same; it would run fine for a few hours and then start to lock up until eventually it would either reboot or stop responding and I'd have to pull the battery to restart it.
Just not selecting fingerprint security doesn't work, you have to force stop "Fingerprints" in Application Manager (All).
just do not setup the finger print lol. I was having those problemes too when I bought the note 4 until someone tell "do not setup the finger print" lol, not I'm a happy user.... I hope that android 6.0.1 solve the probleme

Still having the same issue around the same time everyone else started experiencing it.
I also was rooted and had xposed installed on 4.4.4 before the issue started happening.

Hello everyone,
So here's my story: I got a 6P short after release and it's been amazing. After switching from a S6 I couldn't be happier until 3 days ago.
I was playing around with my phone (checking for updates on the play store if I recall correctly) and I was going to switch from 4g to wifi. I went ahead and pulled down my notification shade and went to press WiFi but misclicked and hit Hotspot which was below it. My phone suddenly froze big time and this is for the first time ever since purchase.
At first I thought I'd wait it out since the device was completely unresponsive, home button didn't work and neither did anything on screen. Buttons didn't make a difference either. 10 minutes went by and I ended up force restarting by holding down power + volume up. First part of my bootup went fine but when it got to the android boot animation after I put in my pin to allow the device to start it dropped from the smooth usual framerate down to 1 frame every 10-15 seconds and it slowed down further until it came to a complete halt around the time the android letters appear.
My first thought was corrupt rom so I went ahead and wiped data from the stock recovery. I was running completely stock with no modifications whatsoever. That didn't do anything. Phone still froze in the same boot phase. Desperate I unlocked bootloader to flash a clean fresh image to try to fix it and to my surprise that didn't change a thing.
As I was getting pretty desperate already I had one more idea and that was to flash up to the Dev preview. To my huge surprise it booted and I jumped from excitement. So I started setting up my phone again. I got past the prompt to insert sim card and I was now at the screen to choose a wifi network. As soon as I clicked into that the phone froze up again and at that point I lost all hope.
I wiped data in stock recovery and shut the phone down for the night. On day 3, today I woke up and tried starting the phone and it worked as if nothing had happened. I went through the setup and set up my phone on the N preview. At a certain point I was planning to go back to the latest official build but for now I was happy my phone was back from the dead. Later today I tried to restart my phone to clear all running apps etc and it froze up on boot.
I'm losing all hope that I'll be resolving this myself so I'm reaching out to the community to see if anyone's had this happen to them before and hopefuly for a solution. It's still under warranty so I can eventually send it back to the retailer but I'd rather not have a phone for 3 weeks.
Any and all help is appreciated.
Thank you for reading through my long and probably pretty boring story!
Have you tried flashing the factory image? If yes, did you made sure to wipe/erase the system, boot, vendor, and cache partition before flash the corresponding img files?
To the OP, is there any reason you did not flash to release version 6 instead of Dev preview ?
Also, any reason you can not simply do the "unenroll" from https://www.google.com/android/beta ?
It will require you to setup certain settings again as you will be back to a "factory reset".

DJBhardwaj, i haven't specifically erased those partitions. I was under the impression wipe userdata along with reflashing did that. I will try that tonight when I get home!
Xdafly, I only updated up to N as a last resort because at first I had a locked BL. I was planning to unenrol but that would've been too late as it self bricked after a restart.

Well I just did the erase thingy and my phone booted but wifi won't turn on. Enabling hotspot doesn't brick anymore but I now suspect WiFi might've been the issue. Any tips on how to find out what it could be and possibly fix it?
Edit: 2 restarts and a factory reset later I'm back to bricked same way as before.
try safe mode

That was my first thought, that was the restart that bricked it again. Safe mode shouldn't have made a difference since I hadn't even logged into Google account for apps.
After reading the very first post; sounds like bad WiFi hardware.
All the hanging has been related to WiFi or Hotspot.
I think you should get a replacement

Is your phone rooted and did you install Xposed?
Over the weekend I shutdown my 6p (stock rooted with April security patch, Xposed v80) and charged it. When it turned it back up I kept getting "Unfortunately, nfc service has stopped". Long story short: I ended up factory reset my phone and reinstalled EVERYTHING and I still got into bootloop. Then I came across
https://github.com/rovo89/Xposed/issues/113
https://github.com/rovo89/android_art/issues/28
At the end of the second post rovo89 (developer of Xposed) fixed the bug in V83. I wiped my 6p once more and installed everything with v83. Problem solved.
Good luck!
Anybody else's phone rebooting every few days..?
It hard reboots (Galaxy S7 edge screen), so i thought it might be hardware failure.
Haven't downgraded to 6.0 to check.
I don't have an sd card inserted (because the one i had corrupted which caused my phone to randomly reboot, now i took it out and it still does it)
Also, I noticed that every time it randomly reboots, the battery percentage drops significantly.

Before you updated to nougat 7 did you do a full and complete wipe
which includes wipe system, data, cache, dalvik cache and last but
not least did you do a factory reset in twrp recovery before odin
flashing the Nougat firmware?
Are you 100% sure that you odin flashed the correct Nougat 7 firmware for your S7 Edge?
Flashing the wrong firmware can cause rebooting issues and fast battery drain.
Flashing without doing a full and complete wipe can cause rebooting issues too.
Good luck, have a great day!

well, i had a clean 6.0 install which upgraded to 7.0 via ota (UK BTU firmware),but thanks i suppose
(and i also factory reset 7.0 many times)
I am getting random reebots since nougat. I flashed the bell nougat (in on Rogers in canada) and then flashed the Rogers CSC. Things seem to check out so I'm not sure what's wrong. I am going to try to get the Rogers nougat files and see if that addresses the issue.

I have the same issue.... I have unlocked phone on a thai carrier
You DO NOT have to do a 'factory reset' every time you have an update, not even for an operating system update.
I don't know where this comes from but it's stupid.
These updates are designed to integrate with existing systems!
You are as likely to solve any issues with a few reboots.
If you have a problem it's likely due to software conflicts of an app you've installed, not the operating system. Android is pretty good sorting itself out.
So, you do a factory reset with all the hassle of trying to get things back to where you were and then you install another app which causes an issue and ...
Pointless as are the cache wipes always suggested. Android is good at managing resources.
At least with a cache tidy up you're not back to square one
I wished folks would stop suggesting factory resets at every opportunity. Mad.
I get them too, i`m on the lastest NEE software updated via ota. Randomly, when i get it out of the pocket, it says enter pin number because your phone was restarted, i`m using fingerprint lock.
Hello I have a Galaxy S7 and since the update to Android Nougat 7.0, my phone restarts randomly, it can stay an entire week without restart and it can also restart 2 days in a row. It's totally random. I have reset to the factory settings and I have reinstalled only the most important applications (facebook messenger, viber, yahoo mail) but unfortunately about ten days after reset, the problem has reappeared. What could be the cause of this problem? For info, the firmware version installed on my phone is: G930FXXU1DQBO. Also, I saw on SamMobile that the countries that received the update later, had a new version. Could the problem come from that? Is this a bug in the firmware installed on my Galaxy S7. Thank you in advance for your help.
Sadly I have the same problem. Oddly enough this is my first handheld which I didn't root and the first I am running into such issues with.
Got a OTA update to Nougat and I am getting almost daily random restarts.
I wasn't able to discern any patterns so far. Sometimes while it is charging, sometimes just being in my pocket. It doesn't run hot as if an app is running havok nothing.
So far I cleared the cache and that seemed to help but alas it started again.
Does anyone have an idea what is left to try? I would do a complete wipe, but others reported that it did jack for them so I am hesistant to try it.
Sorry for My bad English, i m italian.
Try to remove Chrome. The issues is there for me.
Bye
I have some problem. Not to mention battery life severely reduced after update to nougat. usually 5h screen on time to now 2.. max 3h. SAD.
Samsung Galaxy S8+ Random Reboots
Same problem with my Samsung Galaxy S8+ running Nougat. Purchased the phone from AT&T and received it 3 days ago. It randomly rebooted twice so far, once when I was looking at photos and once when using the play store

I have the same problem. It is completely random, it can happen every 2 days or once a week. Even after a factory reset, this problem of random reboots still persists. The firmware version is G930FXXU1DQBO and I still have not received a new update. Have you solved your problem?

Do you reset your phone to factory settings? What is your firmware version? It seems that the old versions are not very stable.

No, the problem is still here, i did not receive any software updates so far. Sometimes it reboots even twice a day, random, sometimes 2-3 weeks without reboot. Waiting for ota update, maybe it will solve it.

After receiving the February version, did you receive a corrective update? If this is the case, it may be the update that has solved your problem.

With the Always On Display option on or off? It's really an issue for people who turn it off.
I'm convinced some percentage of folks who update from 8.0 to 8.1 using any method (ota, sideload ota, flash-all without the -w) short of a wipe and fresh install of 8.1 are experiencing a number of quirky issues including this one. I read through all the threads and while they are all seemingly unrelated, many problems "seem" to include the upgrade in the history. Just my observation, but fresh clean install does also "seem" to be a common fix. Lol

Both, no problems for me.
After I got pushed the update OTA (VZW Pixel 2 XL) my WiFi would constantly connect & disconnect in a loop...worked fine in Safe Mode but as soon as I let it boot normally it would start it's endless loop. Reset network settings - no help...had to take the plunge and do a factory reset. I let it restore all apps and everything was fine after that.
Hello everyone,
I have random soft reboots on my LG G6 Europe variant.
Bootloader is unlocked and custom Rom Fulmics Rom 4.2 is installed.
Does anybody experiencing the same problem?
The reboots happens after some days randomly....
Thx and regards
it is necessary to speak about it in the dedicated subject, more chances to cross someone in the same situation or who can help you

Had the same problem on stock ROM, but the last update with january security patch fixed it.
Maybe a factory reset fixes the issue?

I did make a clean install through TRWP. WIPED cache and dalvik cache. deleted internal data and system data.
I had random soft reboots before I was on fulmics Rom as well. so I think it's not specific to this Rom....
how many times did your device rebooted?

On which base is Fulmics yet?
The reboots happened once a week, or sometimes even twice a day.
I had this happen on stock. After much reading of logcat output I was able to determine some kind of system table was getting exhausted. Proceeding on the theory that some app must be misbehaving to cause this, I disabled or uninstalled as many apps as I reasonably could, concentrating on what I could remember having installed or updated recently, and the reboots went away (I am paying close attention as I gradually re-enable or re-install stuff but haven't found a definitive culprit yet).

I had the same thoughts.....cause the issue is not taking place continously.... so I don't think it is ha hardware issue.... still couldn't find the app which may lead to a random soft reboot
