(I am running rooted stock 4.3 now)
Six months ago I had a problem with the speed of the phone. It kept freezing , was sluggish etc. but I solved it by running lag fix + other apps and also factory resetting. The problem started slowly, day by day the phone was slower and more unresponding. After 4.3 I thought it is gone (because of trim support).
However last week the same thing has started, phone was slower and slower... But, 2 days ago it started rebooting itself randomly (every 5 minutes) and Play store, Gmail and other apps started FCing. Today I tried doing nandroid backup, which failed, after reboot I couldn't access internal storage, and after another reboot all application data were deleted. I did factory reset but it didn't help. Now I can access internal storage but the phone is still rebooting every 5 minutes and I am wondering what to do.
I have 2 options, lock bootloader and send it to Samsung, or try to fix it myself. What do you think?
well if you still have warranty better lock the bootloader back and sent it for repair..

so here's the deal
i've been using my One X for a year or two now, half of the time with cyanogenmod on it, the other with Paranoid Android
but one day, the launcher crashed.
I rebooted it, thinking it was a temporary problem, and everything went fine for a few hours
after which multiple apps started crashing, then the launcher again.
I rebooted it again, hoping the problem would magically vanish, but my phone wouldn't boot, it'd stay on the bootloader screen
for a while now if I stood in the Phone app i'd be fine until the end of the day
since then, every time I install a ROM on my phone, it would go fine for a few hours, even a day or two, but then the problems come back, though I haven't been stuck in the bootloader since
i've tried formatting the SD card, i've tried restoring my phone from a clockworkmod backup and i've tried installing over 10 ROMs now, both sense-based and AOSP
HELP, PLEASE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ANYMORE
I have read around regarding this problem without luck, and hope that someone can advise if I have missed anything.
I used to use this phone and as I liked to tweak it was running a custom rom (think it was Wanams). Anyway I got an upgrade ages ago, and my wife carried on using the phone for a while. As she just needs a standard rom I recently decided to factory reset and use Odin to flash the newest stock rom (N7100XXUFNE1 - UK). This is when the problems started. Initially the Wifi wouldn't come on, but after factory resetting and using the Samsung Updater in Kies I finally managed to get Wifi back. Then, while setting it up and installing apps from the Play store it started freezing and had to be rebooted every 5 or 10 mins. Finally after doing this a couple of times, all the apps were installed and after leaving it to "settle" it seemed to be better. Now however, 2 or 3 times a day, when playing games or using other apps, it will just reboot.
What I have tried is:
* I have tried clearing cache through the stock recovery
* Tried a number of Factory Resets
* After reading about the SDS problem I have tried running the "dummy file generator" to fill the internal memory and this completes ok. I guess this means that although I have memory that is/was susceptible I applied the original SDS fix early enough with the custom rom that all the memory is still ok?
As I have the newest bootloader I can't downgrade that, but as I don't care about triggering Knox I was thinking of rooting and installing a custom rom to see if any of the other Kernels help?
Has anyone got any idea's what could be causing this and what I can do to fix it?
Thanks.
Hi all!
First of all thanks for your work..it's awesome!!thanks to you i enjoyed my s plus until some days ago it has broken..very sad day
However i decided to move on with a more modern cel, so i decided for a s4 mini.
But since the beginning i've had lot of problems..
My phone after an original update from samsung started to freeze and reboot..more and more often..i read it could be an issue with original update so i decided to mod my phone since i've had great improvements with my old s plus..
first i installed cm11 but the phone keep rebooting and rebooting ..so i installed cm12 with android l..but the problem is still here!!
the more my phone became hot the more it reboot..it's unusable and i don't know what to do..i'm also begin to doubt it's a hw problem
my warranty is gone with all this mods..so what to do? any others has this kind of problem?
thanks if yo want to answer
People encountering this should perform a factory reset and wipe everything from the phone.
Then, perform a clean install of whichever rom you wish to use, without any additional apps.
I recently encountered an issue with Apex Launcher and a recent update. Android keep crashing and soft rebooting often.. only after a few days did I realise the launcher was the issue. Since I uninstalled the app the phone hasnt restarted once!
Mine restarts after i turn on Mobile Data + GPS for navigation..
It works for a minute and restarts.
I don't know where the problem is either. I tried to flash cm10, 11.. stock 4.2 / 4.4 and nothing seems to get me rid of the problem
Hi everyone. I have a sporadic problem with my vanilla note 3 from t mobile. Its a totally random occurrence but sometimes it will freeze(loose all input functionality) sometimes it will just stay black screen(no input taking) and usually (not always) it will reboot itself after this happens(sometimes a battery pull is required). Is this a memory leak issue? Thanks for any help. Sometimes it will run fine for a week or 2 and then all the sudden it will start acting up.
Was it rooted? I had a similar issue before mine was rooted, some of the system load programs that I didn't use would start up and then grab all resources. ..
Mine was doing the same thing while rooted with towelroot. Even after I unrooted it was doing the same thing. I didn't try a factory reset, but T-Mobile is sending me a replacement phone.

If it was my phone I would do cache wipe first, if still no go then full factory reset and I would then reinstall most important programs first.
Restarting phone every few days is not a bad idea on it's own and BTW when was the last time you cleaned garbage from it?
Just recently my LG G4 H815, rooted, bootloader unlocked, v10b, has been acting strange.
I installed boot manager a couple of months ago and it has been running fine, but a couple of days ago I noticed pop up notifications saying a variety of apps were "added to boot manager"
I dont know where these apps are installing from and I cant find them in any folders.
Yesterday my phone crashed and after starting up again showed a "android is starting... optimizing apps 1 of 233" which seems a lot more than i have seen before. This made my boot time about 6 minutes
Today at work my battery died, (this is was because I fell asleep before charging my phone the night before) and when I charged my phone back up it showed "...apps 1 of 244". My phone was then on the "Starting apps..." Screen for 3 minuets. This made the boot time around 8-9 minutes.
I hadn't installed any apps between now and then and I did not see any pop up notifications.
At the moment I am scared to turn of my phone in fear of it taking even longer so I have 2 questions,
What is happening?
Do you need any further information to help me resolve this?
Thanks!
Best shot would be to factory reset your phone

Update: I seem to have gotten past the problems after updating to 10n. Now running stock debloated 10n rom with no reboot issues (so far)
