Having an issue with random reboots

My new galaxy note 2 randomly restarts. On 2 occasions that I caught it was
1 I was on the phone with my father 20 seconds in
2nd I let go of my phone 1 inch from a Reem of paper to place it down ( im unavle to reproduce that one )
But many times ill pull my phone from my pocket or my lap and see its in the middle of a reboot
Related or unrelated I've been getting these gaps and battery drops not during heavy use possibly around resets or not
Haven't rooted only installed a few games facebook and I heart radio. Email is set to only download when I hit refresh and updates are manual

I'm having the same problem. My note 2 just reboot twice in 10 minutes.

Same problem here. A random reboot every second day or so.

I can confirm this also. (Sprint version)

Me also facing this problem. Same happening atleast twice a day... any solution to it??

Guys, just an idea. Stating "this happens to me" without mentioning the firmware/build number is kinda pointless. I'm on stock ALJ3 and I'm not facing this issue. If everyone lists theirs then maybe we can narrow down the issue if it's related to firmware.

Mohjee,
I am on thw stock rom.. pic attached.

Just got my GN2 yesterday and it's randomly rebooted like 6 times at least.

Maybe it something with Sprint version guys. If not try to full wipe and flash stock rom by ODIN only.
regards

I ended up taking the phone back to att and had it exchanged. Haven't had the problem and no battery drops

Heeeeeeeeeeelp!!

[Q] Note 2 N7100 not start up !

Hello,
I bought my note 2 three months ago & It did very well untill 2 days ago
My note 2 had a lagging & hanging issues yesterday and I had to restart it many times when it didnt repond , I thought it may be a virus so I did scans using 3 different antiviruses and was clean , then I thought it may be a bad app. so I uninstalled some of recent installed apps but no improvement ! I even removed some of videos to decrease the memory and get the sd card and the sim card out , but also no improvement !!
P.S. The phone was some times previously give me a crashed touch wiz home messages and some apps were crashed also , so I guessed it may be the launcher so I tried other launchers or may be the apps & uninstalled them but still I found the same problem .
So I got bored & went to sleep with the phone very laggy but working for some time after each restart
When I woke up today , I found the phone turned off , I tried to switch it on , but No Response at all !!! only the small red light near the front camera is fluctuating when I try to switch it on !!!
I removed the battery and tried every thing but NO RESPONSE !!!!
P.S. it`s on stock ROM with 4.1.1 JB
PLZ ppl help me

SDS - Sudden Death Syndrome. Its not SD card. If your phone chip was 0xf1 and your phone was on 4.1.1 so its sure sds and phone is dead. You had to update your phone to 4.1.2 with Odin because it has fix from sds .

When you get replacement phone check its chip ( via "emmc brickbug check" application from play market ) . If its 0xf1 ... do not take it... if its chip 0xf7 or other you can take it. Mainly phones with 0xf1 on 4.1.1 affected sds. And main - upgrade to 4.1.2 as it has fix from sds.

If you get the chance to check the chip before you get the new device. Which I doubt you will. You'll probably get the phone sealed, and Samsung will hardly get you the new phone only because there is a chip inside which is prone to fail. This is the main problem. Samsung still doesn't acknowledge the SDS. At least not in whole.

This was never confirmed by Samsung. If you ask me, it's a myth. Some devs thought it might be the fix, and Samsung never denied it. That doesn't mean it is a fix. They fixed the exynos bug, but it has nothing to do with this.
I think it's awful how Samsung threats us.

so you say that there`s no known solution for this disaster , I should only hope to get the right chip & no clue to avoid this in the future ?!!

I have written 100s of times in this thread.
Update asap.
These kinds of sds threads should be stickied so everyone can get a sneak peek of the fate if they don't upgrade.
Probably you didn't do it because of battery life. Or did even downgrade.
Now you and others may understand something.

Hi guys ,
I got my device back from the service center & they got the chip replaced not the whole device
the new chip is 0x19 now , but in (eMMC brickbug check) says under title of (brick bug) : yes,insane chip
any explanation plz ?!!

Forget about what it says because so far the only.one's that are affected by the SDS are the Note 2 with 0xf1 revisions. Just update your android version to 4.1.2 and you'll be fine.

[Q] Early SDS symptoms?

So, sometimes, on recovery (rarely, though), while flashing, my phone crashes. I flashed an SDS safe ROM/recovery and haven't looked back since, since there were no symptoms before then. But I'm starting to worry, because I had to restore the stock ROM once, after it crashed during flashing, and won't go into anywhere but download.
My ROM info is in my signature, and recovery is PhilZ, latest (4.91.2, I believe). I have Triangle Away, set to auto reset at boot. So, if it's at 0/Offical/No, they should replace my phone if it goes SDS, right?
Edit: I believe I had some early recovery corruption. When I rooted for the first time with CF auto root, it wouldn't boot into recovery after that, and I had to flash stock recovery all over.

It was. But if you get *any* NAND corruption before updating, that can't be fixed and it WILL get worse steadily, resulting in SDS anyway. At least that's how I understand it.

If you have a SDS safe kernel and your phone crashes, look at your kernel log (adb bugreport) and if you find eMMC errors, it might be related to SDS.
If you don't have a SDS safe kernel, then I believe that as the name suggests, you go directly from a perfectly working device to brick.

Download from market eMMMC BrickBuck Check .Install It.Run it.See what it says.If the FwRev is 0xf1 you may be a victiom of SDS.Note ,that the latest android firmware for Note 2 . 4.1.2,baseband version N7100XXDLK7 and Build:JZ054KN7100XXDMB2 has a patch for stopping SDS.It's kind of a workaround ,the chip is still faulty.I also have the faulty chip with this version.Un-rooted stock.Had it since February 20.Nothing bad happened

Same firmware does not prevent freezing

Hi I have the same firmware and and running stock too, bought my UK sim free Note2 N7100 last year on launch, however it has started freezing since last 2 weeks, I restored to factory default but started crashing/freezing as soon as I started restoring my data, took to Samsung service centre who seemed to think it was software related and restored again and told me to load one app at a time. Useless as it is still crashing even though I have not updated any of the preinstalled software.
I have now been told it needs to go to Samsung level 3 techies as service centre not aware of any bugs - will not comment on internet reports, this means the phone will be sent to Poland for repair and I am left without a phone for 2-3 weeks. I had an appointment booked at their "Flagship store" for a week in advance and was called day before to be told they were cancelling the appointment because they are refurbishing the store and could have one in about two weeks!!! Terrible service from Samsung.
They probably will not acknowledge exact cause of fault.

There's a reason the "S" in SDS stands for sudden and not symptomatic. There are no symptoms it's sudden.

Not true anymore. With the unofficial fix (as samsung never made any announcements) people are reporting freezes and crashes. In a way it's indicating something is happening and can be considered a symptom.

According to the dev of neak kernel, Simone, and a few other dev sources that I can't remember, these freezes on safe kernels is actually the protection kicking in, blocking the harmful eMMC commands.

It makes a lot more sense, so we can conclude that these freezes are not symptoms to the SDS but merely a sign that the fixes are doing what they're suppose to be doing.

Note 2 is freezing sometimes

Hey! I just bought 3 days ago a Note 2 and i like it v much, except 1 problem. I installed Android Rev ROM and after 1 hour of using the phone is heating (downloading apps, listening music) and it is freezes (in this time i can lock and unlock the screen, but is still unresponsive). Is a problem from the rom or is a problem on my phone?
i tested this 3 times and always is freezing in same way,

I bought a phone from a guy, not from a shop and i dont have warranty . Is there any chance to have a bug fix for this, from Samsung or is a hardware problem?
Is there any custom ROM that can fix this?

Have you done standard procedure of doing a megawipe and then try flashing the rom again? Take out the memory card and use it for a bit to see if it makes any difference.

Download and install eMMC Check from playstore and see if the FwRev is 0fx1. If it is so, then your mobile is sds prone. If possible return it to the guy.

It is an Sudden Death Syndrome. Flash the 4.1.2 firmware. If the phone was dead, you can use warranty.

Problem after update

After I updated my phone to 4.4.2 I lose service and have to restart my phone multiple times a day to get service back. I called T-Mobile and after resetting the phone they said they would replace it. Then I called Samsung and they said to bring it to best buy to have it reflashed. I can go there but I could also flash it via Odin at home. Now my question is, if I flash the stock rom via Odin will it trip the Knox counter? I read that it won't and I read that it can. I just want to make sure it won't before I flash it incase I have to have it repaired or replaced.

Well I flashed the stock rom from sammobile yesterday morning and so far so good. I haven't had a problem since. Tmobile said there is no way I could flash the firmware again even though I knew I could through odin, just wasn't sure if I used odin if it would trip the Knox counter. I didn't want to replace my phone that is in mint condition through tmobile and get who knows what in return so I called Samsung and they said to go to best buy to have it reflashed. I saved myself a trip by doing it myself. thank you elesbb for your help.

Yeah, i hate getting replacements from them. I no longer have insurance as any repairs (aside from shattered screen, this denotes an upgrade ) i will just do myself. I have gotten replacements for my S3 through them and they ALL were horrible. I ended up having to take apart both phones when they sent me the new one and made a good working one out of it and reassembled the bad pieces into a bad phone and sent that one back. Ha. It was pathetic. lol.

Well I spoke too soon. I had to restart my phone again to get service back. The problem is still there. I had data but no cell service. Even if I turn airplane mode on then back off to reset it it still doesn't work. I have to restart my phone. Do you think it could possibly be a simple card issue? It started the day after I updated my phone when 4.4.2 came out.

I've had SIM related issues before. Sometimes an older SIM card won't work correctly with a system update. With a new card problems disappear. Let's hope this is the case for you.

in the same boat
Ever since I got the OTA Kit Kat my phone is in nightmare mode. Wifi wont stay on or ever even come on. Wake screen freezes and numerous other issues. I got same responses from TMO and Sammy and have spent 100 hours on here searching for HOW to fix. Ive used Odin 307 and 309 with various files CWM OUDHS, etc and never get anywhere. Just fails with "no PIT" errors every time.
Ive rooted phones before with NO problems , G2, and other HTCs, but Sammy driving me nuts.Im assuming its because I have 4.4.2
So your saying using Odin with a stock ROM will work? or errors again? samobile the site you need to pay to join right?
Ive seen THOUSANDS of people with SAME issues, various carriers as well as S4s and Nexus
Im so stinking frazzled from this

What do you have checked in Odin? And are you flashing 4.4.2 firmware?

Well either way you'll never get anywhere without 4.4.2 because you said that's what you have.. It won't flash anything below that so try 4.4.2
