Having the same issue on a reboot, seems to go away after an hour.
Dont have a solution yet.

I'm having the same issue on my Galaxy Nexus. Not custom ROMs or anything, just rooted and unlocked 4.0.4.

Have you been listening to music?

After a backup, I did a Bootloader Lock and then Unlock to clear all my user data.
Rebooted into recovery and did a Factory Reset.
Copied all my pics back and its been fine, no crazy Media Scanner CPU hogging when I reboot. yay!
The Factory Reset might not have been necessary but I was have some rom issues and had dirty flashed many times. My roms issues also cleared up( couldn't get Theme Chooser to run on CM10)

[Q] Issue after ICS update - Phone freezing

After the ICS update on my non-rooted phone, the phone seems to be freezing
up and becoming unresponsive. After a while it looks like the radio "resets", all
the icons disappear in the top bar (signal, wifi, data) and it shows no service.
Then slowly one by one they all come back and I can use the phone again.
Sometimes I receive the "System is not responding" dialog box, but not always.
There is not one particular program it is doing this in, it can be something as
simple as pulling down the notification bar that will cause the freeze.
Any suggestions are appreciated, I couldn't find anyone else with the same issue.
Thanks.
Try:
Turn off phone
Take out SIM
Put SIM back
Turn on
I've had my phone act weird with respect to signal, wifi and data when this was the issue. Worth a shot, at the very least.

Thank you for the response.
Tried this and had the system is unresponsive issue right on reboot. If I do a
factory reset, does it reset to the current firmware or what was originally on the
phone (probably a really stupid question). I wonder if some other program isn't
ICS compatible and is doing something in the background. Doesn't look like
anyone else is having this same issue.

If you do a factory reset and it was the standard Kies legit update from Tmo, it won't downgrade your phone - will just re-install a fresh copy of your ICS. Did you do a restore of apps from your last version (gb?) with data? That could cause problems I would think..

Yes I did the legit update on Kies, standard stock phone un-rooted.
Do I need to backup pictures before the reset, its been a while since
I had to do this.
At this point, I think its worth a try to wipe it clean and clear out all the
data.

wipe the dalvik cache and cache then reboot
I did a factory reset and that solved the issue.
Thanks for all the assistance.
I've done a factory reset and wiped the cache more than once already and i still get a force close or unresponsive, enough that its really irritating me now. Any advice? And also, when texting, the typing responds very slow.

Are you letting it sit for like 10 minutes during first boot after factory reset then reboot again before setting up. Its likely that some scripts are running from the initial installation and you need to let it rot until its done..
I did exactly that, thanks for the advice. Hoping that may fix the problem. I wiped the cache and factory reset, then let the phone sit for a good while before going through the play store and re-installing everything.
This issue just resurfaced again. The last 2 days I am getting the freezing, radio reboot and android process not responding.
No one else having this issue?
I think I'm in the same boat. I was stock GB, and just did the mini OTA update (which was great). A few days later ICS became available via Kies from T-Mobile, and I "upgraded".
Since the upgrade my phone is laggy, screen is significantly less responsive and also my battery life is less than before.
I have NOT done a factory reset of my phone yes (plan on doing that today), but even with that I have read that performance does not improve.
Ideally, I would love to return back to the stock tmobile gb firmware. However, even after literally 2 hours of reading I can't find the "how-to" and files I need.
I would appreciate any assistance.
t989 chip lags
ive notice this happen on my tmobile galaxy s2. i think it has to do with the Qualcomm chip on tmobiles stock roms.
When i had sprint i bought my girlfriend a galaxy s2 on the sprint network which runs the samsung exynos chip. She never complained about any lag or freezing whatsoever. I then left sprint because of their garbage network and joined tmobile.
bought 2 galaxy s2s and i noticed the lag almost immediately. The phone has random lag spikes as well as freezing and force closes. It had it on stock gingerbread and it has it on stock ICS too.
My girlfriend complains about freezing all the time so i decided to root her phone too. Right now im testing DarkSides v7 rom and if its pretty good in performance i will flash her phone with it too. So far it has been pretty snappy and everything works.

follow that first post. i went through exactly the same problems and found this guide and am now happy again and running stock GB on my Galaxy S2.
Because you are on stock ics (im guessing you are..), you can just follow that guide and flash the UVLDE update.
Yes clock resets to standard standard time.. I already did a factory reset and worked done for a couple weeks. My wife has same phone and she is getting the freeze ups now.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll give it a try. But it really shouldn't be necessary on a phone that's got more going for it than the stock nexus that 1st came out with ics.
There's something else going on.

I had the same issue, try to go into apps, media storage and clear the data, it should rescan it. Think during the JB update, the media storage got corrupted.

same problem
I am having the same problem on a Nexus S. I have flashed tons of different ROMS before and this was never a problem. Weird that it comes up in a NEW version of Android. But I guess that's what offical updates are for...
Rename the folder containing your media. Use the scan app from before. I've always done that to fix this random issue

I have this issue since installing Jelly Bean too.
If you check processes using Watchdog or something similar you will see Android Media process hogging a lot of CPU...this will go on for over an hour for me sucking up my battery.
I've been trying to pin down if there is corrupt file. I've shut off Picasa & G+ syncing. I have cleared data for both Gallery & Media Storage.
Happens to me after every reboot.
Still searching for a solution to this.
happen to me as well n seeking for solution.
when i tried to look at apps\running, setting got force closed all the time...
rescan media not work for me too
If I have some time tomorrow, I will try doing a fastboot erase userdata or wiping the whole phone and then reinstalling JB from scratch.
My 1st JB install was the preview version BTW.

Hi Rich,
Wondering if you managed to pinpoint why your media process was doing that. I also have the same behavior with Jelly Bean, with my media process hogging my battery after I reset the phone, for like over an hour or so, and the phone getting pretty hot - and battery drained.
I wouldn't be very keen to wipe my phone, though...
I havent been able to pinpoint it yet.
I will probably have to resort to a factory reset unless someone has other suggestions to try.

Weird issue: Root=Random Reboots (or possible radio issue)

I am not new to android by any means, but this weird issue has stumped me. When my GNex (toroplus) is stock unrooted with bootloader locked, the phone is very stable, no reboots. Once I unlock bootloader, root and install either CWM or TRWP, I will begin to have random reboots even on the stock rom/kernel. The reboots mostly happen when arriving back to my house after classes (very poor reception at my house if that matters), or just when I'm out and about with the phone in my pocket.
I've looked at the last_kmsg, and it shows "Boot info: Last reset was MPU Watchdog Timer reset". A google search gave me some direction that it is not a kernel issue, but I didn't find anything really definitive on what would cause it. I would love to get to the bottom of this as this issue is really bugging me. I've rooted with both the Nexus Root Toolkit by WugFresh (which worked great for my N7), and the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit by MSkip, both with the same result. Reboots. I've used both the FC12 radios and the FD02 radios, same result. I've tried with both CWM and TWRP recoveries, same result. If anybody has any input I would absolutely love to hear it. Thanks in advance
Well, it just happened while completely stock unrooted and locked. Guess I'll have to get a replacement. Anyone know if Sprint will replace it under warranty?

Your post count indicates you have at least been active in XDA for awhile- So that I don't sound condescending, I would do a fresh backup and wipe the phone completely and see what happens after re-setting it up (I wouldn't use TiBu or ROM Toolbox Pro to restore apps, just let em download from Google Play). If that corrects the issue, you just had a snag with an app somewhere or a system file, if not then you might have bad hardware, but unlikely since it worked before you were rooted. I've had this happen so many times, it usually is because of a dirty flash, restored apps or apps and data. Try using a different Custom Recovery as well. I prefer TWRP over CWM (much fewer problems with ICS and JB).
Forgot to say, that if you haven't upgraded the bootloader to JB bootloader, this causes problems too.

Possibly similar issue here. Using toro and getting random reboots, typically in low signal situations. I work near the Canadian border where I'm often picking up Verizon international and flipping back to U.S. signal. Periodically the X boot animation shows and does a reboot. Usually associated with a data transfer of some type. I am not rooted and these began while locked, using stock mysid 4.1.1. Tried flashing radios, boot.img, and bootloader, and after 98 hours of uptime it rebooted. Planing to flash the system image next and see if there are some bad bits in there. If no success calling Verizon for a replacement since I'm not a full year into this phone.
Love to know if you find any other solutions for this.

I have been suspecting a radio issue too, because if I recall correctly the toro on ICS had issues with no reception/reboot. I ended up taking my phone to Sprint, and of course could not replicate the issue so they did the standard factory reset and update profile + prl (which of course I've done), and possibly a few other things. Now for some reason it has been up for about 20 hours in low/no signal situations and around town, where it would normally have rebooted at least once, usually a few times. I'm going to keep letting it ride stock and locked for today as well, and if it doesn't reboot today I will be tempted to say whatever they did fixed it (which is hard for me to admit).
Likely a system.img issue. I reflashed the stock system partition not once but three times this morning, doing a fastboot reboot (back to bootloader) between each flash. I no longer have the Google boot logo sitting there for several minutes before seeing the boot animation, and the total boot takes less than a minute. Something must have been retained during an OTA flash or a factory image flash. I'll see if it does any random reboots over the next several days, but thinking this might be the fix. System is a bit snappier also.

I stand corrected. Definitely a radio issue. All was well until we were in a few stores where there is no signal. Upon arrival back home I woke up the phone and then set it down to let the dogs in. Picked it up and there screen wouldn't turn on, though I could hear my words with friends tiles shuffling. Soon enough the X boot animation showed. Not a full reboot, as the uptime didn't change. Only been occurring since 4.1.1, so thinking 4.1.2 or better may have a fix. Toro and toro plus ate similar enough due to the hybrid CDMA/LTE configuration that I would expect this issue on both.
My biggest issue with this is the media scanner running down the battery at reboot.

The weird thing is that after the sprint store did what they did my phone was up for over 60 hours in no signal areas and traveling to a different state (where I would surely normally get a few reboots). I decided to root again, and after rooting I began to get the frequent reboots again. They always seem to happen when the phone is either in my pocket or when there is poor reception, or both. I've tried different roms, rooting processes, and it just seems while rooted, I am plagued with these reboots. Unfortunately as well, the sprint store wouldn't do anything for me unless they could recreate the issue in store

I haven't changed my prl (at least not manually), and never rooted. But now WiFi and location services may be somehow related. My wife's nexus did a soft reboot yesterday while she was taking a series of photos at home while connected to WiFi (we have Dropbox set to auto upload on WiFi). Most of my reboots happen shortly after arriving home and reconnecting to WiFi. And our home picks up LTE from a nearby locale due to our elevation-me thinks the location services are getting all screwed up and the default correction is to restart. In some ways I feel better knowing it's not a full reboot back top the Google boot screen, but would like to nail down the issue while waiting for the 4.1.2(or even 4.2) update to roll out.

I'm at my home now for thanksgiving break so I am going to unroot completely again and see if I get reboots in the basement where reception is non existent. If so I am going to try to get a replacement at my local store where they know me. It doesn't seem like a widespread issue, but it is odd that you get it too.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
Well they were able to reproduce the issue at the sprint store so I'll be getting a replacement next week. I'm just hoping its not toro/toroplus issue in general, and I can finally be rid of these reboots

[FIX] Lollipop Lag, slowness, signal issues, bad battery life, etc.

If any of you are having Lag, slowness, signal issues, bad battery life, etc. and/or other weird glitches after the lollipop update you need to factory reset your phone.
This is a know bug with updating from Kitkat to lollipop. It has happened on many devices, Nexus 5, nexus 7, Shield tablet, N910A etc.
Just factory reset your phone and re-set it up and most if not all of the problems will be gone.
From my brief understanding it has to do with some downloaded apps not switching from davlink to ART correctly during the OTA process. Facebook on my shield tablet was a notorious culprit.
Just an FYI hope it helps a few people out.

We did have one person factory reset to attempt to solve the "heart rate light turning on" bug, and it did not solve the problem.
Have you noticed this bug or used S Health yet?
One list I always go through is: update, update all apps, boot into recovery, wipe cache, and reboot twice. Works great and I know a bunch of others see similar results

Luckily I was already running ART prior to the update to 5.0.1, so I haven't seen any of these issues yet, and hope none crop up. :good:
Luckily I haven't had any of the glitches a few people have mentioned. However, my friend with an S5 needed to factory reset hers after being pushed the lollipop update and it smoothed everything out. Just like when flashing a ROM guys...starting fresh helps a lot.
Anytime there is a major change to an OS, whether it be on my PC/Mac or my phone, I always factory reset and start over. ALWAYS. Too many little bugs and quirks pop up in software upgrades for me to waste my time with that stuff. I'd always rather start fresh...plus then I can weed out the apps I don't use anymore.
As an old habit, I always do a system reset after a major upgrade. I did the same with this upgrade and it has been running pretty smooth for me.
I am now experiencing lag in a bunch of places, yet I did a factory reset.

I did this right here cause I noticed my battery was draining a good amount when the phone wasn't being used. After this and a full charge, the phone went back to how it was before.
I wiped cache and factory reset 3 times and I haven't experienced any of the aforementioned issues.

This is what I did. I had absolutely no issues with the update.
The minor issue is the quick note app pops up very slowly. But that is fairly minor, and not significantly different from kitkat.
factory reset
I rebooted a couple of times after the update, and wiped cache in recovery. Still experienced lag all over the place, especially w/ the dialer. I factory reset last night and it's been running more smoothly since.
Has anyone noticed that when booting into recovery, it says "installing system updates"? I even got a message, before the recovery screen popped up, that "no command found". After that popped up briefly, the phone went into recovery and all seemed fine.

This update to lollipop on the note 4 has been the best update experience that I've had on any phone. Love it. And yes, factory reset solved many issues that were honestly minor and I really didn't feel I had to, but I did bc I'm crazy. ..but it was worth it.
Back up phone via kies, I am impressed it worked great.

I'm going to try this again. I've already done it before but hopefully this will fix my problem.
On 4.4 I went 2 days with heavy usage. It was insane! I use my phone a ton at work for RDP, videos, and other IT related stuff. Now I can barely go 1 good full day.... Really hope this fixes it.
My update went well without any troubles, but now I am few weeks into using Lollipop and I definitely notice faster battery drain. I also have disappearing icons, just like others complained (Google Hangout and Phone icon disappeared).
I'm not experience a lot of major issues....but I did do a recovery reset....but I reinstalled via kies. I'm planning on doing a recovery flash again....but this time I'm not going to have it install the apps.

I'm not experiencing this I'm actually getting very good battery life. Don't know if you have disabled the system apps you don't use???
Also something I always used to do when I had the T-Mobile note 4 rooted of course, I always disabled Samsung push services it was always recommended. Don't know if it would make any difference but you can give it a shot.
I have all the apps I don't use disabled and it still hasn't been helping. I'm thinking about calling ATT and getting an exchange

Random reboots after 6.0.1 update?

I used the OK1 tar through ODIN, then did a factory reset then took the 6.0.1 update. Yesterday I got probably 2 random reboots and now this morning I have had 4 one after another probably 5 minutes apart from each other. I am using the I heart radio app to listen to a local radio show and the phone keeps rebooting. I thought maybe it was the app causing this so I uninstalled and reinstalled it and the phone keeps rebooting. I recently purchased a replacement Anker battery and have been using it for a week now with no issues. Anyone have something similar like this happening? Anyway to fix this besides the obvious wipe everything clean and try again?
EDIT: It's the app, others are reporting the same issue with newer phones running Marshmallow.
Same problem. Sprint is getting me a replacement

I don't use the app, and my phone does not restart.

Correct, it's the app causing the reboots. I have reverted back to LP for now since there's no issues.

Samsung Note 4 reboots randomly in IHeart app
Mine has shut down automatically when listening to IHeart App, but not with other apps, so I assume it's that app that is causing it. I did uninstall & reinstall app. Did not help. I cleared system cache. Did not help. I initially did soft reboot with battery out and in after 10 seconds. Did not help. I have not contacted sprint yet, but that is my next option. Any help would be appreciated.

If your set on remaining on MM, use a different radio app and uninstall IHeartRadio for now until they fix the problem.

FYI if you download the IHeartRadio app through the Galaxy Apps store it doesn't reboot the device.

Rooted? Are you seeing a pop-up for the reboot (prompt)? Screenshots or logs?
How did you upgrade to marshmallow? What update are you on? What ROM are you running? Custom kernel? If rooted stock with custom kernel, have you fully removed ItsOn and Knox? Did you wipe or factory reset? Include your steps to get an idea of what is causing the reboot issue.
(If stock un-rooted, you may have some residual data from Lollipop. If rooted with custom kernel, you may have files from ItsOn or Knox causing issues. Basically, un-rooted and rooted have their own set of concerns. Need more info to offer suggestions.)

Not rooted.
Best description I can give is that at night when my nighclock is on. ...
the light on back and menu button will come on...
simultaneously the my note edge message will flash on the edge replacing the night clock for a few seconds (this is the background soft reset I think)...
the phone is not functional for these few seconds ie if i press a button to wake screen up then it will wait and hi locker won't let fingerprint work after this happens.
Rinse and repeat every few minutes.

Not an answer but how many of these applications you mention are third party applications?
Typically, lock-screen is only available a few seconds and screen is forced off; deep sleep may eventually occur but you have only a small amount of control to prevent deep sleep; that's usually a good thing. These apps may not be remaining fully functional when conflict results in screen going off unexpectedly or deep sleep trying to save your battery kicks in.
Dunno what compatibility is expected with multiple apps active while trying to keep lock-screen on or wake frequently? My use of lock-screen apps is limited to my third party alarm. I'm happy that it wakes to alarm; I can snooze and allow screen to go off quickly and wake for snooze until I dismiss the alarm (without having to unlock screen). That's about all I'm familiar with lock-screen applications.
My only suggestion would be to try to limit the third party apps used in lock-screen mode to find the maximum compatibility. Dunno, if those are third party applications conflicting, it's just a guess.
Maybe one or more of these applications aren't fully compatible with marshmallow?
On the subject of waking phone being slow, I think it was reported by non rooted users that factory reset cured that for some users. It's possible that if phone wasn't factory reset coming to Marshmallow from Lollipop, that factory resetting now would help.
