Is anyone having an issue with their phone restarting randomly? I have only had the phone a day and it has happened twice. I suspect it is either a problem with root or a problem with disabling the bloatware using nobloat. Anyone that is rooted having these issues?
I havent had that happen to me. I am rooted and i used nobloat. No reboots or anything yet. Although adw ex launcher lags when i hit the home button not alot but its noticeable.
reboots?
Ran doomlord's zergrush and no bloat, everything is fine here. no lag or reboots.
I took my sd card straight from my Captivate to the Nitro. Maybe that could be causing some issues. I'll reformat it then see how it does.

Please do update
Reboots seem to have stopped after formatting my sd card. I will report back if it happens again.
Hmmm i seem to be getting the same issue. If i'm switching back and forth from different apps or opening lots of apps, it "freezes". Only wait to unfreeze for me was to hold power button down and the phone would restart.
I havent formatted my sd so i have to try that. If you format, is it just the app data i lose?
You will lose everything that is stored on the SD card. You wont lose any programs unless they were installed there.
after rooting and moving apps to sd through Titanium backup . i restarted my phone and found it to be extremely slow and glitchy , apps would force close, phone would randomly go in a restart loop with LG logo, tried both SD card in / out. I restored to factory defaults with no sd card. phone loads up first boot. installed titanium backup and restored all user apps with data. works flawlessly , no glitches.
try that but make backup of your apps . i didnt back up and system apps or restored them, just the user apps. not sure if that has anything to do with it. but restoring to factory defaults after root definately did work and i still GOT ROOT !

Im doing some backing up for a factory reset since im having some issues with the phone.
So I've pushed a lot of apps to the SD card, so theres info partly on my phone and partly on the sd card for these. Now, when I do the reset and use titanium to restore the apps/data, I imagine that it will remember that its both on the phone and sd card
But then, what I just do a normal apk install of an app I've pushed to sd? Apps fully install on the phone first, and then need user action to push to sd. Is it going to install the full app, or just the part that was on the phone before the reset?
I'm having trouble fully communicating what I'm thinking here, hopefully ya'll get the gist.
Slight tangent...after reading flipz's post about using titanium backup, what I'm getting out of it is that using it should be fine since I'm not changing the ROM I'm using, but the problems I'm having now (when hitting home or backing out of an app, the phone will spontaneously crash htc sense and the home screen will completely redraw as if i had rebooted) could be caused by an app i currently have, and restoring the settings might cause the problem all over again. Hope I'm reading that right.
TIA for any help!
currently ROM: fresh evo 3.1.0.1
current kernel: netarchy toastmod froyoized 3.7.6b
boo im hesitant to attempt without knowing what might happen
I've been running ACS 1.2 Frozen for a while, with the Genocide kernel and LauncherPro. I've been planning to update to an EI22 ROM for a while, but before I started messing around I wanted to backup what I have now.
So I powered down, booted up into CWM (purple), and did a backup. Then when I restarted, all I got were FCs. The really aggravating thing is that LauncherPro FCs so I can't really get to anything else.
All I did was run a backup! Anyone else seen this? Got any ideas on how to get stability back?
Luckily the backup ran successfully, but if this is what I get just from RUNNING a backup, I don't have a lot of confidence that I'd be stable after RESTORING a backup.
Something happened, may have been related to journaling and the shut down. Did you have journaling enabled? You can do a factory data reset to clear the errors and try an advanced data restore from the nand but if the errors happened before the backup started then it is corrupted too. Do you have any other backups? Titanium? If you clear the errors enough to get into settings, clear data in your launcher and Google Service Framework, then any other app that is FCing.
I did have journaling enabled, yes. I wasn't getting any errors before the backup, but if the shutdown caused them, well I'm a bit stuck. No recent Titanium backups unfortunately.
Thanks for the things to try!

At that point you got nothing to lose. If the restore has the FCs too then Factory Data reset will nuke the data errors, you will lose 3rd party apps, have to set up email again, and your contacts (stored on Google) will be restored as well as the list of apps downloaded from the market (eventually the list will be populated). But your phone will be usable again.
In case you havent tried it, wipe cache and dalvic from CWM. I would try that before wiping everything.

So this is interesting -- it seems like something about my SD card has gotten busted in the backup.
I did a restore of the backup I made, it's identical to where I was at after the backup, but when I hit Home it asked me to choose LauncherPro or TWLauncher. Choosing TWLauncher at least gets me some functionality.
So I did that and noticed that NONE of the apps on my SD card show up anymore. A clue towards resolution without full wipe?
Yup, after more investigation I'm sure of it. Running the CWM backup broke all the apps stored on my SD card. I didn't make any changes other than running the backup, and after restarting all those apps no longer show up.
Backup your sd card on a computer, format it in the phone and restore. That should make it work again. Then you will have to reinstall the apps that were there. Sometimes launchers take more than 5 minutes to reload apps on the sd card. Did you wait long enough?

OK so today my wifi went out.... Just completely went out. I tried wiping the settings and reconnecting to the Wifi point and all it does is try and authenticate, then it drops. So with a few prior bugs like this in the past, I decided to do a combo Temp Files wipe with 4.3 Smelkus MOD recovery.
EVERYTHING GOT WIPED; Go launcher is non existent, Play Store is gone, apps just magically vanished. Going into App Settings, the Symlinks are there, but the app is missing from drawer. Even all the aroma options I turned on are gone. It's basic android with no gapps. This happened to me on first install and I had to wipe my memory card and reformat. I refuse to do this again. So I am going to try and nandroid back to before the wipe.
What caused this?
In my excitement, and retardedness, I forgot to nandroid after a successful install. So it likes like I have no other choice to set EVERYTHING back up again. I'm just thankful I'm smart enough to have recurring TB backups every other day. D

So I've had my Play for about a year. I've loved it so far. But lately I'm getting many MANY force closes and apps freezing and just bad performance. I Reset the phone through the normal means through the phone. I've also used Flashtool and completely erased the phone and SD card and reset the phone completely. No help. Still the same issues. I really want to keep the phone longer but I'm not sure how to fix this. It was rooted before just to remove the factory apps. I've never flashed roms or any of that business on this phone. Anyone have any ideas of how to attack this problem?

Download X-parts off the app store and boot into recovery, post back when / if you get that far.
By normal means? Have you tried repair with SEUS? Maybe a fresh install will help, after that you can root again and remove bloatware with Titanium Backup, i think there is a bloatware removal tool somewhere around the forums too.
I just meant through the normal restore built into the phone. I'm going to wait until I finish a game I'm working on so I don't take the chance of losing my progress.

I am currently facing an issue with getting install/update errors for a good majority of the apps. Specifically error 963. I am running the latest Lollipop and the tablet is completely stock. This started occurring recently and it appears to be tied to the latest version of the Play Store. One workaround is to uninstall the updates for the Play Store itself. This works but is only temporary since the Play Store will get updated and the problem starts occurring again. The only other option I discovered is to unmount the SD card and remount after the apps are updated. The SD card is self is currently not being used for anything and I also recently formatted it using the tablet itself. Is anyone else having this issue? Is there any way to correct this problem? Does anyone know why this is occurring?
I confirm I am having a similar issue. I made a post about this today as well
@Title101: the uninstall option for Google play is back (was not there yesterday for me) and updating apps seems to be working again.
I meant to say I have a rooted device....but had done this rooting process many months before this issue.
Reply if your errors went away too...

It appears the issue has gone away. I have moved all the apps over to the SD card and it appears the apps update okay now. Prior to the issue, any app that was on the SD card would be put back to internal storage which was a bit of a pain since I always had to move it back the the SD card. However, now it appears that this not required anymore.
I have thought of rooting the device and using Link2SD. I have held back in the hopes that Samsung will update the OS to Marshmallow and either allow for adoptable storage or the moving to external storage option present in the Galaxy S7/Edge. One question I have is if I root would it be possible to go back the the stock recovery in case an update does arrive at some point? I don't necessarily want to re-flash the image and loose all the data. Currently once the device is rooted, OTA does not work anymore.
Link2SD seems to have issues - it has actually corrupted the 2nd partition I had created on an SD card once, and I'm using it again quite cautiously (I only moved 2-3 apps to the SD card this time versus 10-15 last time). Maybe it depends on the size of the partition or how often the apps (on the SD card) are used, but I am not sure.
So I'd recommend being careful with Link2SD...
But yes, rooting has the advantages + disadvantages you just mentioned...
I tried googling to see if the Tab S gets Android 6.0 Marshmallow, but so far haven't found anything.

I have used Link2SD in the past and do recall running into some issues. Sometimes it would require a re-link and I also noticed boot up was taking way longer then it does now. However, I did have a lot of applications installed to the second partition. Loosing OTA update ability due to rooting was another reason I decided to go back to stock. At this point I am hoping that Samsung does not forget about this tablet and decides to do right by us since it was their flagship tablet not that long ago. The Galaxy S5 came out a few months before our tablet and it's getting Marshmallow so hopefully our tablet will be next.
We might just be next, check it out (it's not that official though...)
