So recently im getting a strange restarting of my phone right after a restart or a boot up.
It doesn't fully shut off and start up..it seems to be like a soft reboot and it just starts up the entire home screen again.
I've noticed 2 weird things on when its happening...usually when the automatic time and date update...or when USB media scan is running or is about to be complete.
I've fixed permissions ..kept my clock speed at stock.
I'm running BeastMod 4.2 with the latest Synergy kernel ...and Go Launcher Ex.
I've flashed other kernels too and it's happened with all.
Eventually ..after a few battery pulls and a bunch of full blown restarts...it stabilizes and runs like it should.
Ideas?

I was having this problem with my first SGS2 and I tried every rom out at the time and nothing worked so I just exchanged it and I haven't had any problems with the new one I got.
Mine started doing since day one.
Did yours just start or did it have that problem from the get go.

It happened pretty much after my first kernel flash...and was on stock rom too. That's when I pulled the trigger to go with a custom rom hoping it would fix it.
Dang it...I don't want to have to deal trying to get it back to stock.

Haven't fixed it, just showed him how to go back to stock.
Sorry!
Do you have this problem too?

Do you mind sending me the same message too? I'm having this problem with a few different mods. I had it with Domination 2.0 and with Juggernaut 4.1. It happened really badly when I was at the airport. After I changed my phone from airplane mode to non-airplane mode, and when I started trying to do stuff soon after it started, it would go into an endless reboot loop. It wouldn't restart fully, but the screen would go off for a few seconds, then I would see my lockscreen again. It would go through this process about 4-7 times before finally stabilizing.
I really don't want to get a new phone because I just paid to have an invisible shield installed around the full body less than a week ago. Thanks!

Did you have this problem being stock or just after flashing roms?

Interesting enough.. I did a test.. I restarted WITHOUT my external SD card... and guess what... of booted up fine. Looks like I have something going on with my external card.. but it works just fine... so a conflict somewhere. I went through the card last night and deleted some stuff... but after I put the card back in... boom...started to happen again.
I'm either going to try to copy things over and format the card.. or just get a new card.
Try it out and let me know what you guys get too.

Getting a new card wont do much if the data on the card is what's causing your phone to go haywire.
Do you have apps stored on your SD card?
Sent from my Hercules using XDA App
I'm sure I have some on there... app...but I've checked any folders that seem "off"...and delted a lot of those... so mainly what's left are pics and music... haven't had a chance to format the card to see if that works... and I could be totally off base with this too. Just trying different things before the last resort of getting a replacement phone.

I have been having this exact same problem for a while now. I have tried it on three phones that I've had (original, replacement, and another new one). No matter what rom/kernel i've tried, same thing all the time. I have wiped many a times, fresh installs, formatted memory card, tried without memory card, and same thing. I have never had this problem with HTC phones and really have no idea what to do anymore. Just how weird that everything works well on stock.
Well... mine for sure is my SD card gone wonky... I've done 5 seperate no SD inserted tests... and then insert SD after its already booted up and working fine.
Once I inserted the SD... it would go through the scan and crash.
After a bunch or retries... battery pulls etc.. it finally settles down and works fine.
For yours that its not the SD... call T-Mobile... they were ready to replace mine.

If the memory card was corrupt, wouldn't the phone have issues even on a stock non-rooted phone? I'm asking cuz my phone works great on stock non-rooted, but once I root and upload a custom rom, everything goes haywire. Im trying to find out what the problem may be.
Sent from my iCrap killer
Actually this problem for me started even when I was on a stock ROM...I'm not sure how long after rooting... I wonder if rooting had something to do with it? This issue is one of the reasons why I went ahead on to a custom ROM thinking it would fix it... it was fine for a while.. then started up again.
I'm not sure. I haven't bought a new external SD yet to test my own theory.. haha

I have had my epic for about a month now and I love it but sometimes it will reboot like 5 times a day and sometimes it will not even go back on unless I pull the battery for a couple seconds. It is rooted and I am not going to lie it NEVER did this before I rooted it. I have tried plenty of different roms and after a while they all reboot. Most run fine for the first couple days. I will say that it never reboots when I am using it its funny but it seems to only do it when it is in my pocket. I always know when it rebooted because my headset gives the disconnected beep then I look at my phone and sure enough I see the boot screen. This is becoming very annoying any help would be greatly appreciated.
What rom/kernel/radio are you using?
I am using the Phantom Hacker blazer rom v 3.4 with the stock rouge el26 kernal. Not sure about the radio because I never touched that. I am also running the venum minimal black theme.
Its funny because sometimes it will go days and run great then one day boom 5 restarts before the afternoon hits.
Restore to stock and see if you still have the problem, if you do, take it into sprint.
My phone hasn't rebooted but I have experienced the sleep of death a couple of times in the past week. I don't understand what's causing it either but meh, it's not been to often.
Are you guys running any of Calks scripts also have you flashed the 3g/4g hotspot hack

Im using the hack that was built into the rom and none of calks scripts. I should also note that sometimes whsn it reboots it drains a good 50% of the battery.

Could a bad sd card be causing this? I ask because one time when i went to use my phone the sd card was not detected and i had to reboot to get it back. Thats probably a problem with the phone too.. I love this phone but i am getting real tired of its bull****.

When I first got the phone I didnt root it for about a week and there wasnt a reboot in sight. As soon as I rooted it, this crap started. Is this just something people with rooted phones need to put up with?
Well my sd card just failed and upon some research I have learned that a failing sd card can cause the phone to reboot so I am going to run it for a while without it and see if the problem still persists.

I have been rooted for over a month or so and have not had a single reboot. So no, that is not normal.
I am guessing something is wrong with your root or your rom install.

I believe it was rebooting because of a bad sd card. I took it out and have not had one reboot since. Also the sd card was messing up all day. I tried to acess it and it says sd card damaged. Do you know if a bad sd card can cause reboots? From my research allot of people say it can.
Yea, if its giving your errors, and the phone is rebooting, and removing it from the phone corrects the rebooting issue, that seems logical that the SD card was causing the problem.
Reformat the card and see if that resolves the issue.
Well I took the sd card out and no reboots in almost 24 hours!! I hope there is nothing wrong with this phone because man do I love it. Just a question though, could the fact that it was rebooting with the card in there be caused by the fact that I took that card out of my old Evo 4g and just put it straight into this phone without formatting it or anything? Or you think it's just a bad card all together?
I took my sdcard from my old epic,no reboots, im rooted only, no clockwork yet, I have had the phone about two weeks, I would be very upset if it started rebooting, that's one of the reason I upgrade I was flash happy with my old epic, new rom runs great for a couple days than here comes the problem

of course you should put a "clean" sd card in your phone, when you change models...there are all sorts of useless files from your evo on their, and no doubt that would cause weird behavior in your current phone..

Ya i had that problem with the evo too. All you need to do is clear delvic cache and cache partition and it would run fine again for like 3-4 days then you would need to do it again.

Ya I see what ya mean. I am going to run the phone for a couple days just to make sure it isn't a problem with the phone and if all is good I will format the card and put it back in the phone and see what happens. You all have been very helpful though as always, I appreciate it!
I wouldn't go that far. I had the same BS when I first rooted. I've been using Strongsteve's blue ROM and haven't experienced ANY problems since ie. Ghost rebooting, Los, nothing. Its made me love the phone again....trust me I was ready to throw the thing in the garbage.

I recently purchased a 32 gb SD CARD from play, but for some reason it is being funny. When i transfer some apps from phone to card other does but when i look into it on the file explorer its show only one folder LOST. Also it gives me card full status too but i haven't put anything big in it?

Yes i formatted the card my previous 8 gb card was working fine

ive been having some problems with my note using memory cards properly as well. mainly with the camera app.
occasionally i would take 20 odd photos and film 30 minutes of HD footage, but the moment i tap to go on gallery, nothing has been added. when i go to check storage, no extra space has been used up. the only way i can get my device to save data again is to power it down, take out the battery, put the battery back in and power it up again. quite frustrating, but perhaps see if that fixes your problem?
Whats the speed of the card?
It is class 4

Hi all,
Has anyone suffered from the infinite reboot bug? I was running into it these last 2 weeks. This evening it was occurring. And after taking a well needed nap, I noticed my device "overheating" from the reboots... I took out the battery and tried to reboot it. And now the device won't turn on. It seems bricked . I'm pluging it into my computer and there is no power at all. Help me please

Boot into download mode and Odin back to stock. That should fix it

ummm
The device seems completely dead . I am holding the power button for 10 seconds and it doesn't come on. And no power is sent to the device when its plugged via usb.
RE:
IDK, usually I would recommend what was mentioned.
Flash stock image via Odin, but sounds like you have a bigger problem.
I would remove the battery and let it sit overnight, if that doesn't work try replacing the battery.
Good luck.
Boot into download mode. To do that hold power, home, and volume down at the same time for 10 seconds. If that works you are not bricked. You can flash back to stock from download mode with Odin on your pc
Check your batt might have burnt it leave phone in charger with batt in try and turn phone on then and see had a batt go bad on me and was doing something as you explaining when plug in it would boot after a while alohas

battery was fine. I went to t-mobile and got the phone replaced. Is the infinite reboot bug fixed? I want to use my microsd slot :/
Never had the problem. Put a new 32GB card in the phone when I got the phone. Didn't see the point in 64GB. It is almost empty even now except for 9-10 movies and the backups for various things.
Looks like it was a faulty device. Problem not occuring in new device with microsd inserted in device.

My note 4 randomly freezes and goes to black. It also randomly restarts, gets stuck, and then restarts again. It's very annoying, if I want to check something, I hit the home button and the phone is frozen on the lock screen. Random apps are also crashing but instead if just closing the app my phone's screen just shuts off and I can't get into the phone for at least a minute. I don't know what the problem is and I really don't want to factory reset my phone.
I would pull the battery and take out the SD card (if you have one) and sim card and boot it up and see if that helps.
If u r using de-bloatware app then try restoring all the apps.
Factory reset, don't install anything and see if it continues. Then start installing a couple of apps till it happens again, try to identify the offending
App.
Same here.. Just started happening 2 weeks ago.. I have yet to find the offending app. ****ing ATT and their ****ty note 4 ughhhh
Happening to me too. Even after factory reset, and in Safe mode. I think it is from the June 16, update. I plan on taking it in to the att store and having them flash the new update to the phone. Thinking maybe my over the air update got screwed up somehow.
I put mine on ultimate power saving mode at night to keep it from dying since I forgot my charger. When I woke up, I tried to turn off ultimate power saving mode, but the option was gone. I rebooted and it got stuck at the att boot logo. I took it to the att store and they said I'd have to file a claim on insurance and that they can't fix it.
I cane home and connected it to adb to see if I could back up my files. Without sending a command to it, it wiped itself and factory reset. I lost everything, but since then I have had no issues.
Mine started doing this a couple of weeks ago. Factory reset twice, sd card out. Still doing it. Had to go back to note 3. With sd card and sim card out it seems to work ok on WiFi only.. No stuttering or force closes since?

Mine was doing the same thing. Turns out the battery was taking a crap. New battery and no more issues. For myself at least.
Mine is unusable. It boots into download mode half the time after factory reset. When I get it to boot up it only lasts for 15 minutes then resets again and gets stuck

Try what I did accidently. Connect to your pc. Boot into recovery lode and see if you can connect with adb. Then connect to with adb sideload and let it sit there. Maybe send a few commands and see if it will do like mine. It might get it to unhang. You might lose everything if it restores, but it might do like mine.

Mine mostly ok, albeit chained to at&t FIRMWARE, but I do get an odd eeror: when in a call the phone will make a a keypad tone,as though I'm leaning on the keypad [not], often mid-Bluetooth handsfree calls. It last 2-4 seconds, long enough to interrupt the flow of a call. anyone ?
I have had tons of apps update as of late. I too am experiencing lag, lock ups, black screen. I thought I was alone.
Had a friend's Note 4 do the same only he was on Sprints network. He was not rooted and on MM. I tried a factory reset and it helped for an hour or two then it went back to random rebooting or apps freezing. I tried flashing factory software through ODIN. It was good for an hour then went back to random reboots and apps freezing. I tried another ODIN flash without restoring any of his apps and the same thing happened. I tried changing the battery and that wasn't it, I removed the SD card and that wasn't it either.
He had to take it to Sprint and they ended up just giving him an S7.

I started having this problem just after the update. I tried to switch the battery out and tried to take SD card out. I factory reset it about 3 times now. Nothing has solved it.
I took it into AT&T, and even though I'm not under warranty anymore (had phone for almost 2 years now), they worked with me and ended up giving me a new s7.
I suggest you go talk to AT&T because this is a problem with all AT&T Note 4's. Tell them you want it fixed and talk to the managers and get them to contact the corporate help desk. Don't leave without them fixing it. You paid $900 for this phone.
Gave you a new S7? Or swapped it out on a next contract?

I did not pay a dime. But you have to show them that it freezes and crashes even after they factory reset it
Just left an [email protected] store. He looked at me like I had 3 heads. He had never heard of such. Will call corporate and work my way down.
I did hold a S7 edge.... it was a thing of beauty and speed. No ir though... it's why I like note 4
Works without sim
I've had the exact same issues, (Galaxy Note 4 on AT&T). Tried factory reset, wiping cache, re-flashing with odin, removing SD card, removing apps, multiple batteries, etc.... the only thing that has worked so far is removing the SIM card. It runs flawless without it. Currently using my S3 for calls and text and use the note 4 like a giant iPod touch on wifi only. Hoping this is a software issue AT&T will correct but knowing them..... best bet is probably to wait until August and get the new Note 7.
Why not try the MM update that is out right now, it´s not an OTA but by just renaiming the file to update.zip, putting it in your ds card and applying it through recovery you will have a practically new phone, it´s worth the try.
I´m ruuning it and it´s been great so far, no bugs, no errors.
