I've had several random reboots since I got a Fitbit Flex on 5/3. It links to the phone via BT 4.0.
I run Perseus kernel, so it could be the newest update, but my wife runs full stock unrooted and said her phone restarted this weekend. She has a Fitbit Flex paired with her phone also.
Anybody else have a Fitbit Flex or other BT 4.0 device and getting random reboots?
No! but now that you say that. Glad I'm thinkin on getting the Jawbone up. In a week or so.
I would try that one and see if you get the same results. I'm quite sure they both do the same thing!!

I did a lot of research into these things, and I looked at the UP. A few things I didn't like about the UP: It's too thick all around, isn't comfortable to use while typing on a keyboard, have to take it off and plug it into your phone to sync, people lose the little cap on the device all the time. I'm happy with the Flex so far, just noticed this freezing and reboot the past few days (which could be kernel related, not ruling it out).

At least 2 a day. It's hard to judge because I'll pull it out and notice that the keyboard has been reset to the Samsung default, which occurs after a reboot. I was using it today and it just froze up and restarted, stuck at the Samsung logo, and required a battery pull.
are you over clocked or underclocked? What perseus settings did you mess with?
Try flashing a different rom/kermel..

I've been on SKY ROM 8.2 for months and haven't had restarts. Always on the newest Perseus, currently 36.3. I don't change the settings.
I flashed Sean Z's stock modded ma4 kernel and still had reboots.
Think I might try going back to Perseus 35 to see how that works for me today.

Well, I'm pretty certain that this is either Fitbit or bluetooth 4.0 related.
I tried several different remedies, and my phone was still frozen each morning when woke up. Finally, I disabled background BT 4.0 syncing in the Fitbit app, and have not had a freeze/reboot since then.
Anybody else have a Fitbit Flex or other BT 4.0 device and experience this same behavior?
I have had a fitbit since Christmas, but only recently started having reboot/freezing issues. If I turn off my bluetooth at night, it is never frozen in the morning. Forgot last night and it was frozen this morning.
As for talk of the Jawbone Up, I had six of them over the course of about 5 months, would never recommend one. It will also catch on things since it doesn't link. It was a nice idea, just didn't seem executed very well.

If you've had it since Christmas, I assume it's a One instead of a Flex? I see that the One has BT 4.0 syncing also. I think they just recently enabled the BT 4.0 syncing in an app update, so that may be why yours started freezing.
I recommend you try the same thing I did. Go into the device settings in the Fitbit app and disable background syncing. The app will still sync when you open it, but won't do it periodically overnight. I don't know if it's background syncing that causes an issue, or if it's the higher frequency of syncs when background sync is enabled that causes a higher probability of freezing.

You are correct, I have the One, with problems starting with the latest update. I didn't have the lockups with the background synch before it.
It doesn't really bother me to much, just inconvenient to have to pull the cover and battery occasionally for a freeze.
I will try your suggestion though and disable background synch and see if it solves the problem. Thanks.

Ive had the same problems ever since Ive gotten my fitbit flex as well, and Im on stock and have never rooted
Glad to see I'm not crazy. I'm 100% sure this is something to do with the Note II and Fitbit Flex. I updated the Fitbit app last week and noticed that day that my phone was unresponsive at work. I had to pull the battery and restart it, then I saw the Fitbit app had gone back to background updates when I updated it, causing the freeze.
Prior to that, it had been almost 2 months since my phone froze, corresponding exactly with when I turned off background sync.
What a bummer, because I like background sync. I'm not sure if this is caused by the Fitbit app (or service), or if it's the Note II's BT 4.0.
Same problem here with Fitbit Flex and G Note II on T-Mobile
I've been experiencing the same thing with my Flex and Note II on T-Mobile. Running Jedi Master 14.
Phone will lockup overnight, or at random times during the day.
Going to try and disable the background syncing and will report back.
Random reboots - Fitbit Flex and BT 4.0
I am also having random reboots. I originally thought it was my device and took it to the device support center three times. I finally determined it was one of my apps. After a little trial and error determined it was my Fitbit App. I haven't reinstalled it yet -- my phone hasn't rebooted in 5 days.
Does anyone know for sure if it's just turning off the background sync that resolves the issue? I use NFC and typically open and sync that way.

Sorry I didn't reply sooner. As soon as I disabled background sync, the problem went away. I actually did a market research study at their HQ in SF this week and shared my experience. They mentioned knowing about some problems with Samsung phones and that they are working on it.

Excellent! Thanks for the quick reply -- I was certainly missing my Fitbit app. I'll give it a go! Here's to no more random reboots :good:
I'll report back to also confirm for everyone.:fingers-crossed:
I can also confirm with absolute certainty that it's the background sync. I've always encountered random reboots or freezing daily when Fitbit background sync is enabled, and never experienced them when it's disabled.

Every first time (locking phone to redo it also happens) that I put in my pattern unlock, it always stop by itself before I'm done putting in the pattern. I am rooted but i'm not using a custom rom.
This could be a tmobile problem but my friend and an ex said they text me a couple of times before but I never received any text messages. I'm using the stock messaging app. This happened yesterday and I still never seen the texts. This is probably happening with sent texts but I'm not sure. I'm in Atlanta, Georgia if anyone else is having similar problems in the area.
I also have a calling problem where I'd call someone sometimes and it says they pick up but they really didn't and I don't hear anything. I think it's a problem with wifi being on but this also happened on my old side kick phone '08 model before i upgraded to this phone which doesn't have wifi.
bump. no one?
I just exchanged my phone yesterday and it's still having the same problems.
Bump again.. I reset my phone and the problems (mainly the pattern and unsure of other problems) eventually comes back.
No one is having this problem? Can anyone even try to reproduce the problem So I know that my tmobile place doesn't have a bunch of defects. I mean if I wait a Second or two before entering the pattern then it would work.
I also notice that there is maybe a screen/touch issue at the bottom right corner of the phone. I could see the issue with multi touch vis test in the play store.
I sometime have a problem with air view writing by itself and having the s note freeze up.
Wait till the lakers game is done homie!

I also noticed a problem with calls not being able to be picked up. I'll have to constantly slide the accept button before it answers.
I think there's also a problem with calls being dropped on wifi.
Airview sometimes draw by itself.
Bump again.. there's also a problem where screen is timing out too quickly. Even when I changed it to 30 seconds, it still times out at 15.
The battery also dies pretty quickly with occasional texting using the stock app. It goes from 100% at 8am to 68% by 2pm. People also have a problem hearing me when they call me or I call them and I'm on speaker phone. Even when I put my mouth closer to the mic they still can't hear me
Sounds like a wifi calling issue, it really doesn't work well for me, even on my old HTC Sensation I experienced the same exact thing. Wifi calling is enabled by default check in your settings menu and disabe it. As far asyour battery issues are concerned it sounds like there is something running in the backround draining your battery. Check to see if your phone is sleeping when it should be. Check all of your settings because it sounds like something is draining your battery. If you try all of this and still have a problem, go exchange it, perhaps you have a faulty unit. I hope this helps. The only time I have had the issues with calls as you've described it was because of wifi calling..

I don't use pattern unlock so I cannot confirm that issue. Battery life for me is outstanding, I did have an issue with it on the first day of use but it was an app causing it to be awake constantly. I uninstalled the app and my battery life is incredible 6+ hours of screen and calls and it still lasts forever. I am not aware of any missed texts. Wifi calling is just awful so I don't use it and I have no problem making or receiving calls and texts even when I have a week signal. Compared yo my Sensation this is a huge upgrade and I am not having any issues.

Also there are these weird markings/dots on the inside of my screen. Maybe it's a lcd bleed/screen issue. It appeared in my past couple of exchanged devices.

I've been having gn2 from at&t for about 2 months. It's awesome in most respects but it sometimes locks up cold. By cold, I mean that the only way to fix it is to pull out battery for some extended time - 5-10 min. Usually it happens when I use some software, typically accessing network. Just now it happened when I used Chrome beta.
Also it happens sometimes after graceful shutdown that it locks up immediatelly on boot.
Seems to happen with any rom that I tried.
Does anyone else have similar problems? I wonder if it's hardware defect.

I was experiencing lock ups on earlier 7105 ROMs I was using. I thought power cycling was the only way then I discovered if you take out the S-pen (and then put it back) it would unfreeze the device. Maybe give that a shot next time, in case its similar.

Mine used to do that. Turns out the problem was Superuser. If you have Superuser, and not SuperSU, installed, try switching them and see if it clears up the lock ups.
I would also get weird notifications about "shell" and "radio" trying to get root access.

I had this problem on my SII.
My girl had this problem as well. To remedy it first I wiped the external sd card. Wiped everything off of it incase of some bs data.
Then I wiped and re flashed the rom and only restored mms and the call log with tibu. The rest of the apps she had I manually installed them one by one from the market.
Now doing the above two cleaned up a lot of lockups but it was still happening. Final thing that actually stopped the freezes was getting rid of Chrome. Why was Chrome causing issues, I have no idea but after removal the phone never randomly rebooted and after getting use to the stock browser it's been smooth sailing.

Chrome definitely may be a culprit. It happened to me often when using it. What is interesting is that it wouldn't reboot unless battery is out for few minutes. It feels like some memory state , perhaps in modem, gets corrupted and isn't cleared during boot.
And it was happening at times with freshly flashed rom with full wipe.
I have this issue too. I know for sure it is ROM or Kernel related as it never does it if I revert back to stock ROM and Kernel. Mine seems to be in a really deep sleep when it happens. I hold the power button for about 15 seconds and the phone reboots and everything is fine for a few days again.

I still have random reboots on my unmodified Nexus 7 2013. I've been running KitKat since it was OTA'd to the device a few weeks ago.
It is excellent when I'm in the middle of something and the screen freezes for about 4 seconds, then the device reboots.
EDIT: Hilarious. It randomly rebooted on its own just now. The device had been sitting unused for a number of minutes. Usually doesn't happen more than once/day. It just happened twice in 45 minutes. Usually it happens about once a week...
Anyone have any update/luck with solving it? I'm making a nandroid backup just in case the worst case is I need to have it sent back to the store for a replacement..
I posted this in another thread, with someone asking if a custom kernel will fix the reboot problem plaguing this otherwise superb device. It seems to hold its relevance here.
thisguysayswht said:
So, here's my experience with this. I bought my first nexus 7.2, at a best buy in north Dallas, in October. I experienced random reboots, right out of the box, about once a day, usually when I was browsing chrome, or when the tablet was sitting on the home screen without being touched. My gf bought a nexus 7.2 as well, at the same store in November, and she was not experiencing any random reboots, hers has always been stock, to this day (my suspicions began). I figured it was a software, or app problem, and waited for a fix from Google, or my app developers. Tried various custom Roms in the meantime (cm11, dirty unicorns, silmrom, and many more). I also tried various kernel's, in combination with said Roms (Franco, ElementalX, glitch, bulletproof). I had random reboots with all combinations of Roms and kernels. Did a factory data reset after every update from Google, and tried it for a week or so every time. Still experienced random reboots. I finally got fed up and took my table back in early January, to the same best buy in north Dallas. After receiving my second tablet, I kept it stock for a week, and then restored my preferred twrp backup, that I had taken with the rebooting tablet ( stock 4.4 krt16s, xposed framework, ElementalX 2.2 @1.7 and 450, with the motoX dalvik and bionic patches). With the new tablet, I have not experienced one random reboot, either with the stock software, or the custom software.
So, long story short, if your experiencing random reboots, if you have the ability to, I would take it back. Maybe you can fix it with software enhancements, but IMO it just shouldn't do this, stock or otherwise, and warrants a return.
Whatever you choose to do, I hope it works out for you, the reboots were personally driving me crazy, and I'm glad my second tablet doesn't reboot like its got a mind of its own.

With my personal experience, it definitely seems to be a hardware problem.
Thanks for reminding us. Seems to be a hardware problem. Mine still random reboots intermittently. Usually when it does, it will happen maybe 2-3x/day, then go a few days without happening at all. As is the case with me, it happens most often while sitting at the home screen, not in use. I've always been stock.

Same thing with me ... hate this problem, it make it unreliable especially for work and collecting data ...
Mine has been doing it lately also. I noticed it happen the first time about 2 weeks ago. It has done it on 2 different ROMS.
mine does it as well - as well as two other friends of mine who have the same exact models, all purchased at different times. it must be a device issue. there is no point in returning your device if its randomly restarting because youll just get another one that does the same exact thing.
however the longest uptime ive gotten so far was 200 hours with franco kernel r12 and then opened chrome and got a reboot.
also the same thing happened on my nexus 5 in the same day, maybe it was just an incident with google chrome. both devices rebooted.
but im having better luck without random reboots using a custom kernel (franco r12).
I turn off my device every night, so I do not have any random reboot issues. I think a simple restart every 2-3 days will fix this issue
You should always reboot a wireless device MINIMUM once a week to clear out useless data and avoid problems.

I browse xda alot and stumbled up on many weird issues.
Maybe this thread could be an advise-thread like "don't use your Gnex with a Netgear N Wifi AP"
If there is no interest in this thread, just let it die
This is not a thread related to a specific ROM. More for flashaholic people like me who encounter little issues that occur on many different ROMs.
I will list my issues so you get an idea why I started this thread:
- If I connect my Gnex to the charger and use it, almost every time PIE will break and I cant navigate anymore (AOSP-PIE) - I have to reboot my phone.
- If I connect my Gnex to my schools WiFi (CISCO Hardware) I have constant data-download activity and my battery drains in no time
- Sometimes if I connect my Gnex to the charger it behaves like it gets plugged in and out very frequently
- At home, connected to my WiFi (Netgear Router) I have to constantly wake my Gnex to receive new messages (Whatsapp, Mail, etc.)
Maybe we can help each other with tips?
- cheers

I have not faced any of these issues. Been changing ROMs ever since the day I bought the phone (A year and a half back).
That charging issue alone cropped up once. But I was able to fix it by pushing the pin in the charging port up by a bit using a safety pin
1. My volume down is busted. Pressing it on normal mode, nothing happens. In Safe Mode, it works though I have to press real hard. Due to this, cant do screenshots anymore.
2. I can connect this gnex to my computer fine but the phone does not detect the charge.

well, that's interesting! I'm planning a replacement because my phone is two years old and so is the battery.
While using certain kernels with Trickster Mod and "set on boot" option, I get a reboot if the screen is off when Trickster applies it's settings. Took me a long time to figure this out. If the screen is on when Trickster applies kernel settings it works just fine. Never could figure out why this happens, but I use tasker to keep the screen on for 2 minutes after boot to prevent it.

If I touch the screen, the ambient display gets brighter, but that's all. No response from swiping or button presses. Sometimes, after a very long pause (a minute or so) it'll come back to life, but usually I have to hold the button until it restarts. Anyone run into this before? Ideas? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Using it with a Nexus 6. Android wear version 1.3.0.2176821.
Thanks!!!

Forgot to mention that the time sticks at whatever time it freezes and so it doesn't even tell the correct time. Sigh.
Have tried a factory reset. Didn't fix it.
Sounds like it's maybe in need of replacing. Like any new product release, there's bound to be a certain percentage of failures. Depending on how you look at it, you're either really lucky, or really unlucky
Well, just in case anyone else encounters this issue, I called Huawei tech support and described my issue. After a few minutes, they came back and said it was a known issue that effects some but not all watches. They said it would be corrected in a future software update but he was unable to tell me when that would be. So I could either wait for that update or send it back for an exchange. Since it happens frequently and renders the watch temporarily unusable, I opted to exchange it. They send an RMA label next day. The joys of new tech. Hope this helps someone else.

I have absolutely same issue. In ambient mode it freezes from the first day I bought this watch. Thank you for investigation and info.
got my hwatch and experienced the ambient mode freeze. to unfreeze, i enter and exit theater mode. it works. but now i'm never sure if the ambient time i'm glancing at is accurate or not...
Similar problem with an HTC M8. I'll try the theater mode to see if that helps. I still can't trust the time any more.
+1 on the Huawei Watch freeze. Sometimes after 15 minutes, sometimes after several hours. It has frozen with ambient mode disabled and with wrist gestures disabled as well.

Two watches and no freezes here. Are you guys testing with no Wear apps installed and with a built-in Huawei face?

Yes, after factory reset with no additional apps and with original buil-in Huawei faces and used to freeze. I returned it to the shop, got new one and problem is fixed.

Good to hear you got it fixed!
how are you sure that the problem is fixed as opposed to it not showing yet? the freeze seems to be random and i don't know of a way to replicate it on demand. thanks

thanks, good to know. i'm curious if your replacement watch has the red-tint issue. i wonder if the two are somehow related.

None of them had red-tint issue. It seems this is not related with the freezing ambient mode.
Thanks, that solve my problem as well.
Happening to me too. Was using 3rd party skymaster watch face.
Got a replacement from amazon and it hasn't froze yet in the past two days of using it. The last one froze several times a day
