I realized today that I hadn't had a random reboot in a while. From day 1 I could count on 1-2 random rebooted with my Atrix.
Sure enough, my uptime is 280hrs+, which is in line with when I took the OTA update. My wife's phone appears to be the same, and it was rebooting at a similar rate to mine before the update.
Both are rooted/non market enabled but not modded.
How's your stability been on 4.1.83?

I had one strange reboot this morning, my phone had been lagging up a lot, along with the screen not turning on when I pressed the sleep button.
I look down a minute later and I see the Motorola logo. But afterwards it seemed just dandy.
Random reboots
I just bought this phone Friday at 7:45pm. It was working fine when I got home Friday night after purchasing it. I hooked it up to my pc and got the needed updates to 4.1.57.MB860.ATT.en.US. Saturday morning I installed one game bejeweled and advance task manager before heading out to work.
I got back home around 1:30pm and started setting up my contacts on the phone. Around 6:00pm I left the phone plugged into my pc and heard the phone rebooting from the other room. At first I thought maybe there was an update and that's why it was rebooting.
Two hours later it did the same thing again with no warning about a reboot when I was manually adding new contacts. I notice there was another update available to version 4.1.83 which I now have installed on the phone and it's still rebooting on its own.
I also noticed that my battery was right at 60% and while plugged up to my pc it was only recharging 10% every hour on the hour not sure if that's normal for this phone.
(Two hours later battery power at 90% with a solid green power light visible but taking forever to reach 100%)
Also right after the 4.1.83 update the phone would reboot and then the battery light on the phone would just randomly flash red with the motorola logo sitting on the screen. I had to pop the battery out, waited for about 30's before putting the battery back in and powering it back up and it still sat on the logo screen with the red flashing light.
(The battery is now at 100% but 3mins after unplugging it from the pc it displays 90% again all I've did is watch it reboot on its own.)
I removed the battery again but waited for about 5mins before powering it up and this time it actually booted up like normal and about 30mins later another reboot.
I also noticed that as soon as I finish watching a video with youtube the phone reboots a few seconds after the screen goes to sleep. Now as I am writing this comment I decided to uninstall that advance task manager program and do a reboot. The phone is at 80% and after I watch about three videos with youtube the phone didn't reboot.
I have no idea what's up with this phone and I really like it alot except for this mysterious rebooting not to mention other people experiencing random reboots. I read online where a lot of people where saying it was due to a bad battery and that they got a new battery from Att and the problem went away.
I am really thinking about turning this one in for a new replacement but some people are saying even after doing that they still kept having the problems.
Could this really be something wrong with the updates that is causing issues with the phone or is it just a bunch of bad batteries?
Battery?
Back again, in the post I made earlier I mentioned how the phone wouldn't randomly reboot when the battery was around 80% well the battery charged to 90% and the random rebooting has started up again and it has rebooted 3 times back to back now that it is at 90%.......I think I am going back to the Att store when they open today and try getting a new battery............

If I were you I would get a replacement phone. I did have one random reboot since updating to 4.1.83 and that was the first ever I've noticed with my phone. Otherwise I haven't noticed any issues. As for charging via a pc I did hear that was slow. I charge via power outlet or using a car adapter and both are fairly quick. Good luck.
Battery?
I decided to do a factory reset on the phone first and the funny thing is after the reset, the phone still showed that it had the latest update installed even though I still had to go through the setup process just like when I first purchased the phone. So far it appears to be working and hasn't rebooted on me yet. No rebooting after playing Youtube videos either. The only small pet peeve I have at the moment is the Facebook & MySpace contact photos will not show up for some unknown reason in the contacts sections, they're just empty picture frames. The contact photos that do show up are the ones from my google gmail account and I manually added those online myself so those automatically transfer when my phone syncs with the gmail account.
And the MySpace widget doesn't show a photo as well but the info in the widget is current. That's way better than experiencing random rebooting when you really need your phone the most.

This is normal. A FR cleans all of the user data reseting it back to a "clean" version of the flashed rom.
I can say that I have also not had any reboots since .83 but it is also the first time i have loaded gingerblur.
Dear Friends,
I'm having a rare problem with my S4.
All used to be fine but now suddenly the device turns itself off when it's stressed. By stressed I mean during a call while switching to another application or watching a video for more than a few minutes. To me it seems like a battery broken because once I unplug the AC cable and run the benchmark the phone shuts off and usually when it gets to the GPU/Video related tests. When I plug in the AC cable and run the test everything works as usual.
Also when the phone has turned off randomly the phone has problems booting up. It will get to the omega boot animation restart again. The intervals are always different. Sometimes the logo spins for a few seconds and then it reboots again, sometimes it happens right away when the logo appears. Its almost that the phone does not have enough juice to boot up eventhough the battery is charged with 40% or so.
Once I plug in the AC cable the phone boots up normally. I doubt that it's the custom Rom (Omega 9.0 with stock omega kernel) that is causing the problem. It seems hardware related. I'm guessing:
- GPU
- Battery
What do you think is causing those random turn-offs ?
Should I exchange the battery or flash stock rom to check if it still happens?
Why does it make a difference if the AC cable is plugged in? can it be anything that is not battery related?
I'd love to have your opinions!
Best,
Thomas

Your using XXUBMGA right? I had this weird problem where the screen wouldnt turn back on unless i pulled the battery. I switched to the german firmware and all is fine. Its not hardware, trust me, same prob.
First go to stock rom mate, then check

Weird thing is i was using stock, even though exxi is using a modified rom it might not play nice with root/custom kernels. Dont know for sure though; just what i have observed directly.
Friends,
I've installed the Pre-Rooted Stock Rom UBMGA via Odin. Cleaned the phone completely. It booted up and during the first Sign up process (google account, wifi network setup etc.) it went off again with 80% charge. When I plug it to the charger I can continue the setup normally. It seems that whenver it starts any GPU related process (Video animation, Antutu menchmark, Quadrant, Games) it turns off without warning. I ordered a new bat. hopefully it will arrive next week but until then I will not know if the issue is battery or phone related. at this point I doubt that it's ROM related. What's your judgement on this?
Best,
Thomas

Any news? I've had Omega v7 and like two weeks ago it started to turn off suddenly... I thought battery run of or something, later on when this turn off happened and I turned phone on I had "black screen of death" or what to call it.. no launcher but status bar was ok, when I dragged status bar down I could open settings and change "homescreen" to basic and than back to normal and it worked...but... I couldn't use home button, it just showed black window that disappeared immediately. I backed up data and flashed Omega v11, after "tutorial" just after choosing language it showed this black screen again, so I've begun being suspicious it's hardware related. Morning after that it was working okey. Well...not really.. in app list one page of app was showing shadows of icons instead of icons, when i scrolled trough all pages it fixed. Later that day it turned off again. No turning off omega symbol, just.. like if you pull out battery. And those shadow icons were on two app pages. I've flashed nandroid backup of original ROM and when I browse gallery fast it turn off again... I suppose it's hardware related as it's not stuck to specific ROM. Maybe wrong battery? but more like motherboard I think. It also broke my sd card, because of multiple power failures probably. Also after this turn off battery drops down for like 10% or more. First screenshot - shadow icons..second screenshot - battery % drop

i have the same problem with one of the last stock release, in last 2 days my phone's system was totaly burnt because i've played a lot with roms kernels and tweak, and it started to give me also this kind of problem. So i flash by odin one of last stock firmware and it's ok, after a few minutes i've rooted again the rom and charged phone from 19% (at this percentage the phone turn off) to 100%. it seems to be okay, but at 63% it turn off again, so i pull out battery for some minutes, and after it continues to turn of after a few seconds...
(one of the tweak that i made was using "battery calibration" it clean battery stas that can be damaged by skipping between various rom, i used it a lot on galaxy nexus but maby this can be one of/the reason of problem)
Have u resolved by changing the battery???
Dear folks,
It's a battery related problem. When I changed the battery for a mumbi type new battery the phone works with no turning off. Problem resolved

Hey guys,
searched the web and the forums, with no result
I got a brand new G2 this thursday (thought why pay double for a G3 for features I don't need). After unpacking it I plugged it in and waited, until the LED turned green, aprox. 2 hours or so, and then turned it on the first time. I fiddled around with it a bit, was very pleased with the phone, then decided to update everything. On friday I went to work with it, played around with it every now and then, and around lunch time I noticed, that the battery showed 100% in the status bar. Wow, I thought, that's battery life :silly:
An hour later, the phone just turned off... and 'cause I realize you dont want to hear my life's story I will make it shorter now:
Phone didnt react to anything, plugged it in, battery logo appeared: 100%, turned it on (battery 100% in the status bar), turned it off and on (still 100%) let it load for a while, unplugged it, used it for a while, always 100%...
So no matter what I do, it always shows 100%. Turned itself off again since then. When I go to settings -> battery, in the field where it wants to show me the remaining time on battery, it just says "gathering battery info, please wait" (or something alike). Tried several battery apps, all showing me 100%.
Can anyone make something out of this?
Also, everytime when I turn the phone on, it shows me a message, that some process com.google.gapps (or so) was closed. When I delete the Cache of the play store then the message does not appear on the next restart, but on the 2nd restart after that it is there again...
@martinowski - Here I have to ask a few basic questions: Is everything still stock as it came out of the box?
Not Rooted or rommed we assume?
It might be a HW fault requiring a return to seller.
Have you tried a 'Factory Reset" under 'Settings" / "Backup and Reset"
If that doesn't work I would return to seller before doing anything else - you do not want to risk your warranty!(assuming you have one):silly:
Everything is stock out of the box... I already assumed I would have to return it, but wanted to get a second opinion.
And yes, I did a factory reset, didn't work.
Always bad luck with my phones, now I am back to my one s with home button bug...

I have this deadly battery combination that I can't shake off :
com.android.systemui + Samsung Sview cover + pin lock screen = huge battery drain
I have a Note 3 N9005, 4.4.2, stock, with the original Samsung Sview cover and the screen is locked with a pin. From time to time, say once every 2-3 days the com.android.systemui is draining my battery, taking hours of CPU time and resulting in heat and battery drain. The phone is new, had 4.4.2 when I bought it, so I don't know if I should perform a total wipe/reset.
I've read some threads that other people with other Samsung phone models (S4, S5) have the same problem as mine, in fact the combination proves to be a problem.
Is there a stock firmware that I can flash to get rid of the problem?
As more info for the screenshot, the talk time was 40 min and the screen time was 2 hours
Also I am under the impression that the drain takes place faster when I am using the phone (screen on). Yeah, I know that it is normal that using the phone would drain battery faster but this is WAY faster... like droping 1% every 2-4 minutes or so

Try the 3 consecutive Wipe Cache method. Some reported it fixes this.

Thank you for the hint.
Went into recovery and performed 3 wipes, one after the other...
Just o be clear, I did not perform a restart after each wipe.
I will come back with the results... it might take a while because usually after a restart it used to work ok...
I am hoping for the best,
Thank you !
I am sorry but it did not work... for the first 2-3 hours since the cache reset the com.android.systemui showed a decent, low 2% battery usage but in the last 20 minutes (after 7 hours of use) raised up to 18%, the phone is lagging a bit and the com.android.systemui shows :
CPU total 18m 46s
CPU foreground 19 seconds
Stay awake 27 seconds
The funny thing is the CPU total does not stop... as i am typing the com.android.systemui raised up to 22% and battery dropped by 2% and all i am doing is looking at the battery menu section
I am open to suggestions and ideas... maybe a link to the latest stock stable european firmware... anything
This com.android.systemui acts like a virus, slowing down the phone, eating the resources and battery.
The build number for the os is KOT49H.N9005XXUENC2... if it can help anyone.
Thank you
L.E : the com.android.systemui shows 28% battery usage now and the battery dropped by 6% in 8-10 minutes, i am so happy
from recovery make factory reset and wipe cache then flash a new stock rom from sammobile.com
Cocoooo thank you for your input but I am trying to avoid that ...if possible.
I flashed the phone with Samsung stock N9005XXUFNG2 rom... I'll let you know how is goes...
If this is not working i will backup, wipe, clean and reflash it with the same N9005XXUFNG2.
So far it is working... hope I can dodge the full backup/wipe/reflash thing
It's still working... although I see Cell Standby eating more battery then my previous firmware.... anyway... so far so good
Hi ..
I faced a terrible lag with my SM-900 after 4.4.2 update and I read a lot about this bad combination (S View + Lock with PIN) but I was forced to use the lock screen bcz of the company email server.
So, I decided to go into some experiments:
- Wiped cache partition: didn't solve
- Flashed stock Rom: didn't solve
- Used stock back cover: didn't solve
- Removed the exchange account and lock screen: didn't solve
So, I decide to start from scratch. I flashed the stock rom with Odin then a factory reset without the S View cover. I didn't install except very few apps (FB, Whatsapp and viber). The lag disappeared and the system was snappy and very smooth. After couple of days I put the S View cover and the system kept running smooth as is. After another couple of days I enabled the lock screen with PIN and the system is still in a very good shape and the clock of the lock screen always shows the right time and the home button response to wake up is perfect.
That eliminates the theory of SV+LS cause of lag. However, I 'll wait for few days then I will configure the company exchange account and update this post again.
Phone has 100% battery. When I reboot phone, it starts, gets to the lockscreen and tells me the battery is critical low and then shuts down the phone. Press the power button and the phone starts and the battery is back to 100%
I have had this error crop up more than a few times over the week. Rooted/Deodex Stock ANG2 900F
