Hello everybody,
I purchased my galaxy note 2 in late December, I kept the stock samsung ROM (android 4.1.1)and almost rooted it immediately after I had opened its box. Rapidly, I noticed it rebooted from time to time, it seems it happened randomly, i.e. not whilst performing a specific task on my phone. For instance, sometimes when I wanted to check my emails or texts, I picked it up from my pocket, and android was asking me to enter my SIM PIN. So basically my phone rebooted while sitting in my pocket. More rarely, it also suddenly rebooted while I was using it. (but to be honest, it spends more time in my pocket than it does in my hands, that's definitely why it did the latter far less frequently).
I saw that there was an update available, so I flashed the 4.1.2 stock ROM using kies, and rooted it again shortly after. But the reboots issue was still there, so in February I decided to give a try to a cyanogen mod 10.1 nightly build. For like a week or 10 days, it appeared to work properly, no more random reboots. However, after that delay, unfortunately it started to randomly reboot again.
I don't think that rooting the phone can cause such an abnormal behaviour, can it? I use several apps that require root privileges, that's why I did root it every time I flashed a new ROM.
Well the bottom line is that it's really pissing me off, so I'm considering to return it to samsung using a RMA procedure. But anyway, if you have any idea that could help me solve this problem, please feel to let me know, I'll gladly appreciate it. Also I'm wondering if anyone has an alike problem?
If need be, I'll return it for a repair or an exchange, if so, what do I need to do to reset it to factory defaults? I can re-flash the stock ROM, that should unroot it, but resetting the flash counter is also required, for that purpose I'll probably try the 'Triangle Away' app, hopefully it's gonna work. But AFAIK, when doing so on my former phone - a samsung galaxy S 2 - there was another counter, that counted how many times the first counter has been resetted, so one has to actually reset both of them in order for the mobile not to look having been tinkered with. Is anyone aware of a similar second counter on the galaxy note II? If you think of anything else I forgot to mention, please give me a shout.
Thanks for reading my post and helping me out.
Sadly it sounds like you might have a defective Note II. I have a stock (not rooted) Note II and, while I've only owned it for a month, it hasn't exhibited any problems with rebooting. Nor did I have anything like that with my S3 previously.
Probably not what you were hoping to read, sorry.
Thanks for your input muppetmania, well fortunately all galaxy note II don't have this problem
I just hope that if I return it, they'll be able to reproduce the annoying issue as they probably won't install as many apps as I did, or use it the same way, etc ...
My note 2 is the first android phone I've had that I have not rooted (yet). I've had it about a month now and it has randomly rebooted 3 times so far.
Every time it has happened it's been while I had 10+ tabs open in Chrome and was reloading several at once while also using other apps. For example one time I was composing an email and pulling excerpts from several sources on different web pages.. midway through composition and BAM, random reboot
In my opinion you did not cause this by rooting the phone

If mine had only rebooted 3 times in a month then I'd be "happy" But for me it's more like 3 times a day. Well any random reboot is never a good thing, especially if you're are typing a text or writing an email. I'm scared it happens when I'm using my phone as a GPS on my motorbike, could be really pesky if I have to stop, wait for the mobile to reboot, get another GPS fix, and set my destination again ...
Just out of curiosity, you're also running the stock samsung ROM? Switching from it to cyanogen made virtually not difference for that matter.
I still have not rooted this device so yes... I'm running the stock Samsung rom
In case it may be relevant though, I do also use nova launcher and LOVE it. This new generation of TouchWiz is not bad at all not Nova is better, imo
I use the default launcher, both for the stock ROM and cyanogen Mod. I did not really like touchwizz, but I think the dual screen function and the stylus management were quite good though.
I gave a call to the after sales service, and they advised me to go to a Samsung store in order to get my phone repaired. Just to make sure it's going to be be alright (I mean that I don't want them to find out that I have rooted / installed a custom ROM on the mobile and use that as a pretext for refusing to fix it), can someone tell me exactly what do I need to do in order to revert the phone back precisely to its factory configuration?
So far, here is what I plan on doing:
- install the last official samsung ROM (which is currently the 4.1.2 version of android if i'm not wrong), that should unroot the phone altogether
- Use an app called "triangle away" to reset the flash counter
But I still wonder is there is anything else that would allow them to know that I flashed / rooted the phone. Is there anything like a second counter, that counts how many time the counter mentioned above has been resetted itself? Also I do remember that when I flashed my galaxy S II with an insecure kernel, a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark appeared during boot up (I know that "Triangle Away" should remove it), I don't currently have that on my GN 2, but I don't know whether Samsung still uses this method or if they have implemented something else?
Thank you.

I am curious if my hardware is the issue or if it's the 4.3 update and Samsung screwed up yet again.
I have several issues I have noticed on stock, unrooted S3 (I747M) only since 4.3 was released.
1) random (but rare) it will popup an error saying the carrier cannot set the date and time (or something to that effect) and disables the "Automatic Date & Time" option in settings;
2) Occassionally I get an error popup saying "Unfortuntely, the process com.google.process.location has stopped.";
(BOTH those 2 issues showed up from clean install with no other apps installed)
3) my phone reboots once when I reboot or turn it on but this ONLY seems to happen when an SD card is inserted. I use a Sandisk 64GB class 10 as my main but I also have a 32GB Sandisk in my tablet I tried and a PNY 32GB in my gf's camera and no matter what card it always does this but if I remove the card I have no issues. At first I started uninstalling apps 2 at a time to see if it was an app but then I tried removing the SD card and when it's removed I have no issues.
(error 3 has only started since 4.3 and it seems to happen within 2-3 days a clean install. I updated my phone on the 26th when the update went live and noticed it on the 28th so come the 29th I decided to do another factory reset and try again so by yesterday (Dec.1) it was doing this again. It also does this if I boot into safe mode with the SD card inserted, and if it's not inserted then safe mode is fine as well).
So, my main concern now is whether this is the firmware causing these issues and typical Samsung screwed up or if it's my phones hardware? These are just on top of the very laggy experience I get with TW, message notifications on the lockscreen are ridiculous it was better on 4.1.2 and older just showing a number of how many notifications because this widget is ugly as hell now showing in big my text message(s). i like to have the preview option on for when I am using the phone and a message comes through I read it in the notification bar sometimes, just to name a few annoyances outside of the bugs I am curious of.
I noticed I cannot revert back to 4.1.2 either and it seems no matter what rom I would try my battery life was great at first then within 2 weeks went to crap with almost no apps installed because I was trying to troubleshoot the battery life a while back. Just to note, it's not the battery because I am getting better battery life right now on stock 4.3 than I was on any rom lol.
I'm having all the same issues with mine....It's not your phone. I have a thread on here asking the best of the best how to change back or go custom

Ah ok, thanks for the reply and glad to know it's not my phones hardware coincidentally dying on me at the same time 4.3 was released lol. I didn't think it was but the thought was still there you know.
I wish Samsung would get their acts together though. The delays to get the updates to North America are ridiculous and then on top of that they are buggy as hell. Never again am I buying Samsung products after owning my S3 and a Note 10.1 (2012) and seeing how bad they are for supporting older devices and getting working updates released to customers.
Well i have rogers s3 too and I dont have any of those issues. No lag no glitches nothing. But I do agree with you about lockscreen widget for messages. Its ugly as ****
I think if you root your phone and uninstall all the bloatware it'll be a lot faster. Thats what worked for me.

I was going to root and I did the first time but I wasn't sure if the root and cuz of Knox being a piece of crap caused those issues so I went to stock unrooted completely clean so I could troubleshoot and of course that didn't help so ya if I am going to be stuck with this crap I will at least root again and get rid of all that bloatware.
These are the two setups I have used thus far (besides full stock), and this issue has occurred on both:
http://imgur.com/EgzxWFI
http://imgur.com/FZWrdwZ
The first is on ktoonsez kernel on stock rom. The second is Slimroms Kitkat. I have been using the first much longer than the second (which I moved over to just a few weeks ago).
Basically this soft reset tends to happen when I'm driving and using the GPS most often (and I notice that's also when the phone is usually the warmest). What happens is the phone just freezes up and sits there for a bit before finally doing a vibration and starting back up to the unlock screen. Kind of like I was restarting, but not quite. If it happened in the middle of calls, somehow it would keep the call going (at least on the stock kernel, I'm not sure about the new one yet). The other person just wouldn't hear what I was saying during the "soft reset"
On the stock kernel it used to happen even when not using the GPS. It was infrequent, but occurred I would say usually when I was using the phone more heavily... mostly just random though. Sometimes it would also not happen while using the GPS. That is to say it's a sporadic issue.
On this new Kitkat kernel it happened while I was navigating recently, but has not occurred when during any other operations (yet) that I can think of. Considering that was one of the first times I tried navigating with the kernel this worries me.
Does anyone know how I could approach this problem? Perhaps some logging I could do to get to the root issue? Some firmware I should perhaps try out?
Thanks.
Sounds hardware related to me. Especially if its happening on different roms.
Then again... I just looked at you image and you are still running 4.0.4 on one. But the other you are running 4.4.4. On one or tge other you most likely have a rather large gap between your firmware build and the rom. Id try flashing full stock firmware with Odin and test for a day or two. Up to you what build you want to use, but if it were me id update to 4.3. If you go to 4.3, keep in mind there is no going back.
I got my Nexus 7 when it first came out last year, rooted it, installed TWRP, and have been on several different ROMs since. Didn't have any issues with random reboots for several months. Early this year, I started having an issue where the tablet would freeze while I'm using it, then automatically reboot itself. I thought perhaps it was a problem with the ROM I was running, but I had switched ROMs a few times after that, and every single ROM I've been on since then has had the same problem. It usually only happens when I'm browsing the Internet (with Chrome being my browser of choice), but I've had it happen once while using the camera app, as well.
The other day, I upgraded TWRP to the latest version, and I installed the 4.04 bootloader in preparation for Lollipop ROMs. I was hoping on some slim chance that perhaps an upgraded bootloader might fix the problem, but I'm still getting random reboots.
I know I've seen people talk about random reboots as well, but in the past, I never saw anyone find any kind of solution. Is there one, or is it one of those things I just have to live with, at this point? It's odd to me that I didn't start experiencing this issue right away, and that it only started several months after I had had the device. To me, that makes it seem like it's not a hardware issue/ defect, but I guess no one has been able to pinpoint what the problem is, why it occurs, and how to fix it, huh?

I'd tend to agree with you it's a software thing. However, my approach would be a bit more radical than yours: that I would erase everything, including formatting the internal storage twice (after making a backup, of course), then install a completely clean rom, use it for a while to make sure it doesn't act up again before restoring any apps.
On the side, I've seen a Nexus doing random reboots whose owner had opened the back and bent the cover somehow, which slightly depressed the power button. While the button operated normally, this condition forced it to "click" randomly, which caused the reboots. It stopped after the owner replaced the back cover. You might want to check this part. Good luck.
Most of the time, random reboots are kernel related. If you are overclocked try to set max CPU lower and see if the problem fixes itself. If you don't overclock try installing something like Trickster Mod, and lower max CPU to see if that helps. What ROM and kernel are you running?

I always recommend flashing back to stock to rule out software issues. If it continues, you've got a hardware issue.
I haven't really messed around with kernels, I've typically just used whatever was included in a particular ROM, and I never adjust to overclock or anything like that. I don't remember what all the ROMs I've been on are, but I've been on CM before, and I'm currently using CleanROM. I think the only time I ever specifically tried a different kernel was a while back, when I flashed an Elemental kernel, but I've since wiped and been on a different ROM.
For now, I'm trying to hold out wiping anything until a good, rooted build of Lollipop is available, at which point, I'll try wiping out everything, including internal storage, and see if that helps.
I guess I could also try flashing back to stock before I do that, though. I think I've seen one stock ROM for the N7 floating around. The only problem is, it's really hard to "test" this, because the reboots are very inconsistent. The other day, after I had updated the bootloader, I was browsing Chrome for over an hour before I got a random reboot. One time, I was browsing Chrome for an hour and had 4-5 random reboots within that hour. So, that makes it difficult to determine if it's fixed in a timely manner. :/
Alright, so now that there's a proper build of Lollipop out, I did a factory reset and wiped internal storage (twice), and I'm now running stock Lollipop. I spent about an hour or so getting everything set up, and no reboots thus far; but the reboots mainly occur when I'm using Chrome, and I didn't really do any browsing, as I was getting all my accounts and apps and whatnot set up. Hopefully within the next couple of days, I'll have used it enough to get a good idea as to whether or not I'm still experiencing issues.
So far, no reboots, though i don't want to jinx it, heh... I'll be glad if the issue is finally fixed, but I'll also feel kinda dumb that all it took to fix it was something as simple as wiping internal storage and/ or reflashing a stock ROM. Lollipop is pretty nice, as well.
Yeah I'm using a custom version of L myself. You need to flash custom kernel to get working root access with SuperSU BETA 2.19

Hello,
I've done lots of searching for answers to my questions here and elsewhere and come up empty-handed, so I apologize if I've missed something and this has been covered already.
My phone occasionally runs smoothly and fast, like it's supposed to. More often -- pretty much every time I need to interact with the phone and across all apps I use -- it freezes when I tap on something, whether it's to open an app or interact with an app that's already running. It will completely freeze up for anywhere from five to 15 seconds before reacting, and it's extremely frustrating at times. Sometimes, the screen will time out before I can enter my PIN to unlock it; sometimes when somebody calls and I tap "answer," the phone doesn't react fast enough to actually answer and I miss the call. As I said, very frustrating. It did this both before the update to Lollipop last week, and after.
Here's what I've tried: Hard reset; restarting; deleting or disabling all the apps (including Blinkfeed) I thought I safely could, usually just one or two at a time. I've run it in safe mode, and the phone works normally that way -- I just can't figure out what's making it freeze up. I've run a CPU monitor program, and haven't seen any huge spikes from any apps; and according to the app manager in settings, I typically have about 1G of RAM free.
I'm very hesitant to root the phone, mostly because this is a warranty replacement for a Verizon M7 I had rooted (and returned to stock), and none of the ROMs I tried with the previous phone worked well -- if at all -- with the security policies I am required to use to log in to my employer's Exchange server. Those policies include data encryption.
I'm running stock Lollipop 5.0.2 and Sense 6.0 on Build number 6.22.605.3, Baseband 1.13.41.1209.
If anybody has ideas for me to try, I'd greatly appreciate it. My upgrade date is late August of this year, but it's getting harder and harder to live with this phone, which I absolutely need for my work.
Thank you very much in advance.
It's been a month now since the Lollipop update. I have read through a few threads about performance issues in general after the update. I am going to assume that your phone too has become a victim of the update. I have NOT updated to Lollipop. Mainly because of my recent root and install of TWRP custom recovery, EX Kernel and ViperROM 7.0.2. If these issues aren't resolved, I will not update. Besides, KitKat is doing great for me. I would suspect certain services not running in safe mode that allow the phone to react normally as opposed to all services running in normal mode. Have you contacted VZN and/or HTC for possible t/sing solutions? I see that you have done what I would've done. After failing I would assume it is because of the Lollipop update
Hey all,
I'm becoming increasingly frustrated with my Note 7 (recall replacement one).
1. It lags like HELL! I've done all the animation scaling off/force GPU rendering etc, but I shouldn't have to. Just a simple thing like pulling down the notification bar noticeably lags every couple of times.
2. I use Android Auto, which I always have to reconnect manually to use (never did on the S7).
3. When listening to Spotify over Android Auto, I occasionally get stutter/glitches in the sound. Once the glitch was so bad the phone froze and it had to be reset.
4. The thing gets hot. Annoyingly hot, even if I'm just browsing Chrome, or reading G-mail etc. It's not like I'm gaming!!
5. WiFi is very sporadic. The connection is rock solid, but often it will be downloading an app...sit at 100% of download and progress no further. This happens quite frequently.
With all the above, (bar number 2), none of it applied to the pre-recalled Note 7.
I'm frustrated to say the least. Does anyone else get any of this whatsoever? I can't go through not having a phone again, or sending this for what Samsung will insist on a repair. This phone is jinxed and I'm gutted.
Any suggestions (bar a hard reset haha) will be greatly received.
PS. I have disabled loads of apps with the AppDisabler to try and help it along but I think there's an issue with the RAM or some of the internal modules (at a guess). Thanks all
I have just managed to reduce the lag quite a bit by uninstalling Samsung Good Lock (which was forced upon me earlier today)! I liked it, but serious lag creation!
Did you use Smart Switch to change phones? I've found quite a few apps don't like to be transferred. Android Auto apps don't move right via Smart Switch and I had to uninstall/reinstall them.
Be careful what you disable. Some of Samsung's seemingly benign system apps are called by other apps and if they don't respond are constantly polled. That could cause a lot of background processes and may be a source of your overheating. My pre-exchange phone did what you're describing the first couple of days after I set it up. It would maybe once or twice a day get blocky when scrolling as if something was running in the background. The (U.S.) PH1 update made it go away. But we're S-820 in the U.S. and I think you guys are Exynos. So different problems different solutions.
Thanks for your reply Barry. Actually not Smart Switch, but I let it restore my 100+ apps from my previous Note 7 (near the end of the initial set up). The apps were downloading but strangely, every so often nothing was happening after they'd reached 100% downloaded, just before "installing..." (over WiFi). I cancelled that specific app and the restore continued (this happened over and over). Turning WiFi on and off sorted it temporarily but I couldn't download more than 3/4 without this really strange issue.
I also observed the longest lag ever! I went into the OS update screen, pressed update and the device didn't respond. 5 mins later while doing something completely different, the update screen popped up about 12 times (as I'd pressed it 12 times 5 mins previously). This happened again after a reboot too!
Now, I've just bitten the bullet and performed a hard reset. This time the WiFi seems great, although now I'm speculating that it was getting stuck at 100% post download perhaps because the security thing was having trouble scanning it for malware prior to install.
I also take your note re:disabling stuff! I'm going to do something unheard of and just try it stock for a bit and see how it goes. For such amazing hardware, the fact my note 3 was running 10 times smoother means something drastic is going on. I hope this hard reset is the end of it!
Chances are the hard reset won't do anything, though I hope you have better luck than I did. I went through three phones (on my 4th). I did the hard reset as soon as I picked up the 2nd handset and onward before I did anything with the phone. Sadly you should not have to disable anything, the phone should just work for 900.00. Some will say otherwise.. Wi-FI is good for me but the reception is garbage. On various phones with T-MO including other android devices that colleagues have - they get 4/5 bars and usually double the download speed on Speedtest. The head I had on the first I don't get as bad on this one. But the lag I do...
Did you get the update from your provider as well?
I just picked up my replacement Sprint Note7 today so not much time with it though seems identical except 1 small issue. I had my first Note 7 rooted, Viper4Android and Dolby Atmos flashed along with Xposed and it worked flawlessly. The replacement Note fails with binary invalid using the exact same odin version, Sun7 systemless root etc that I have on my pc from the first Note 7 and the second Note 7 was given to me not updated, in other words its on the exact same firmware as the first one!
I am very proficient with rooting, adb, etc and this has me baffled.
Has anyone successfully rooted a replacement N930p that came with PH9? using freeza's guide?

Yea disabling seems like a great idea at first but it actually creates problems. I run it completely as is except uninstalling the preloaded games. Didnt disable anything. Disabling stuff caused massive lag on my note 5 and same with note 7.
Thanks chaps.
I've gotta say, the hard reset has made the world of difference. Which to me is strange, I've never had to hard reset a new device, but it's done the trick.
Regarding the disabling of services, there must be *some* that are safe to disable? I agree if you're tinkering with potentially integral things like S-Voice it's not a good idea. But then stuff like OneDrive surely that's okay? Maybe, things like the Disabler package are a bad plan. You can disable software by default without it, but only certain apps. Maybe that's why Samsung prevent the disabling of certain bloat...?

That's cool. I have no interest in Gear VR.
I have heard somethings about latest version of chrome causing batt drain, could possibly contribute to lag also, I cant tell much as I am expecting my note 7 exchange, but I have seen some posting about it
Have no problems when I used package disabler and chose "disable all bloat"...but after doing that, I looked through the list and enabled around 3 to 5 that I thought didn't need disabling.
No problems since.
Oh...that option doesn't disable facebook, messenger, hangouts etc. So if you don't use those, you need to add them.
Thanks all. Well, after all that, and a hard reset my phone is running perfectly again. Then, this morning I received this from Oculus...
"We recently pushed an Oculus Software update that has inadvertently caused some people to experience phone performance issues."
I haven't put my phone into my Gear VR since the hard reset and I can almost guarantee it was that blimmin thing. Samsung have also updated their Good Lock app to remove lag yesterday!
Damn you Oculus!
Oh..and strangely, the first few hours I got the phone..it got pretty hot...especially since I was using it while charging. I turned off fast charging and no difference. Anyways I just cooled it down w the aircon now and then.
Long story short, it doesn't get hot anymore.
Maybe it's because I used package disabler snd greenify...but whatever I do...Even while charging..it barely gets warm...

Yea they always get very hot for the first few hours while installing all the new apps! I'm not sure you need Greenify these days do you, since android tends to close apps that are not in use (giving you the same options as Greenify)?

This. I just spent two days doing that and its like a totally different phone. I started a thread highlighting my experiences.
i am quite annnoyed with the lag too. it's nothing too bad, but there's noticeable keyboard lag, and whenever you go into settings to search for something, it takes like two seconds to load. i don't even think this is a case by case situation here, this phone just isn't as fast as a oneplus 3, lg g5 or iphone 7 plus. again, it's not terrible, it's just not the fastest or smoothest.
