I've had my Note 2 for a couple weeks and all the sudden it restarts itself sometimes everytime I put it down. It's annoying. What could be the problem to this?

This is just a theory… but give it a shot.
Every time you put it down, sounds like something has come lose inside of it. Has it been dropped at all since you bought it?
Either way, try this, for starters:
I would suspect that your battery might be a little loose. Fold a small little shred of paper up, and wedge it between the “butt end” of the battery (this opposite side of where the connector pins are) and the device. This will effectively push the battery into the pins a little more, and possible keep it from coming loose.
Also, put a small folded piece of paper directly between the battery and the back cover of the device.
The idea here is to keep the battery from moving around. This will rule out the possibility of it coming loose, and resetting.
Also, take your micro SD card out if you have one.
Are you using any custom ROMs or kernels?
Good luck, I’ll keep an eye on this thread.
Well not every time, sometimes, sometimes when I lock the phone it restarts. Yes I have dropped it couple times, and no I'm not rooTed or running custom roms or kernels. It seems it restarts by itself when My phone automatically updates the apps cause when it turns back on it shows a while bunch of notifications of my apps behind updated

K so for now turn off automatic updating and see if the problem goes away.
Also, why are you not rooted? I would recommend doing this. There is no reason not to be at least rooted.
Also, go into your settings>application manager and wipe data on the following system apps...
Google play store
Google play services
Downloads
Then reboot the device.

Thanks for the help! I'll do all of the things you told me right now!
Well I don't want to be rooted, until the new Jelly Bean comes out. I get some glitches on my phone, like I don't get notifcations from the XDA app anymore and other apps like I wanted them too.
I am getting random reboots on my HTC m8 for Verizon, and I'm not quite sure why. The last one happened while I was browsing in Chrome, and a previous one happened when I was doing some other random task like browsing twitter. I am rooted via WeakSauce with s-on using exposed modules through soft reboots (not sure of this has anything to do with it) . Another thing, when I reboot, it sticks at the Verizon splash screen and I have to manual reboot via vol up and power button.
Also, my phone is getting pretty hot sometimes and I'm not sure why, any tips or possible explanations?

Are you using the stock kernel? Did you flash any roms or are you stock?
I'm completely stock

Well I'm inclined to think it's one of the Xposed modules causing your issue. Best way to check is with a Logcat if you can recreate the issue.
I doubt I could recreate the issue because it happens super randomly... I guess if it gets too bad, I'll just quit using my xposed and see if that fixes it

I have the same problem and so does 2 of my colleagues who are completely stock (not even unlocked/rooted). For me it usually happens while not doing anything with the phone though. It can just be sitting on my desk and suddenly reboot. It's insanely annoying and I can't seem to find any good information on the subject.
Well I also just started having some random reboot for whatever reason... Phone was also just on desk and rebooted itself for whatever reason. Funny enough though, my battery life was 96% when I last checked the phone could have drained a little bit more, but after the reboot it shows my battery as being 100% fully charged =o/
If you're stock, this isn't normal. Contact HTC about possible replacement.

Yeah it's semi-stock perhaps. I did put on TWRP again, it's rooted, unlocked bootloader(of course, else no root right?). It was fine the whole time until I installed the xposed framework and some modules, even then I've had it on for about a week and nothing happened until this morning. I took the framework off and of course also the modules, will see if it happens again in the next week or so... :fingers-crossed: that it doesn't.

For you it's almost definitely an xposed module. I was talking to the guy who was completely stock unrooted.

Mines rebooting on its own as well. Just got the phone yesterday and it's happened at least 3 times. 100% stock.

Hi guys,
So I was having the same problem with random reboots. I got frustrated and thought to just root and change to a GPE ROM. In the process of doing that I rooted and installed SetCPU. I discovered that the clock speed was 2265 and the minimum spped was set to 1958 by default. I felt like this was weird because that means the processor is running near full speed at all times (thus why the phone would get warm). To test I set the phone at max 2265 and min 2265. Almost immediately after reboot the phone started to get very warm. So, I changed the min to 1574 and then rebooted. It has been two weeks with:
no reboots
slightly better battery life than before
phone does not get warm
I have the T-Mobile HTC One M8. I wonder if the constant high speed was intentional. I had to exchange my phone twice before trying this. I even tried using the phone before installing third party apps and it would still reboot. I am rooted with s-on and stock recovery and now I don't feel the need to install another ROM.
Hope this helps for some of you!!
good looking out there. However I most likely won't be changing my ROM due to it working fairly nicely with my JVC KW-NSX700 car stereo. Mirrorlink seems to be functional with a quirk here or there.
Oh, I'm still running the stock sense rom

Well, this is good news. I'm going to be getting rid of my Nexus 5 for one of the... Ones... here shortly. Poor speaker and microphone quality are just two things I can't deal with anymore with the Nexus 5.
Seems like HTC tried to just have the CPU running too hot, figuratively and literally. Underclock down to like....1958 max, and it should be fine then. I know my Nexus doesn't like being run at a max of 2258 for very long, if at all. I'll get random reboots on stock vanilla android, and ParanoidAndroid.
It's a goddamn full screen notification. How do I disable it?
I know the phone will recharge slower with my SlimArmor case, thank you.
Install G3 Tweakbox. It has the options in there.

I could swear I had this option enabled, and it wasn't working. Enabled, rebooted and it seems it disabled it. Thank you
This is the one issue that is stopping me from upgrading to Lollipop, as the only way I know how is with Xposed framework and G3 Tweakbox - have you found another way now you've gone to Lollipop?
Unfortunately no. I even stopped using the wireless charger.. It sucks really.
They said it could be done with the new apk tool, and it has been released some days ago. Didn't ask any dev to look after this for me, but it may be possible now

I need some help guys. I received the OTA update from Sprint with my stock firmware and it totally made my phone unusable. It keeps freezing and then rebooting. I have tried everything i can think of but nothing helps.
I did i full factory reset about 3 times. 2x with the zerolemon battery i was using for the last 2 years. Then another factory reset using the stock battery that came with the phone, which didn't get used more than about 5 recharge cycles before I replaced it with the zerolemon one.
After that I thought i could undo the patch but as you guys know the QI5 firmware is not backward compatible so am i kind of screwed? I have tried rooting and loading a custom rom, the CMDMOTO is the only one I tried since it seemed to work for others using the Qi5, but i still have the same issue.
I am a bit new to the rooting world but i have been reading up to figure out my problem, any suggestions? I have TWRP, super user and titanium backup.
Thanks
Work around FOUND !
Installing the app 'Wake Lock' and using level 4 'PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK' seems to have made everything better. I will keep this thread updated if something else happens. I guess for some reason the last patch changed something that made the cpu go inactive or sleep much more frequently or something like that.
If anyone knows how to correct this let me know. It seems that this was actually a very common problem with the other variants of the note 4 it just took a while to get to this version. I wonder if anyone else was having this issue with the N910P.
Cheers
Have you tried booting to recovery and wiping the cache partition? If it falls asleep and freezes that points to a kernel issue if I'm not mistaken. Wiping cache will NOT delete any of your data. Hold Volume Up, Home, and power til the phone turns on and you see some yellow/blue/red text in the upper left corner then release. Try wiping cache and see if it helps

When I did the factory wipe from the 3rd time onward I always wiped the cache and all other options that were available. As long as i keep the wakelock app active the phone does not freeze up and/or shut down but it is draining my battery pretty fast. I am thinking it has something to do with the phone going to deep sleep and unable to come out of it properly. I am playing around with 'Kernel Auditor ' to see if i can find a setting that will fix this issue. I am almost convinced it has something to do with the cpu clock states and Deep sleep not working correctly anymore.
I personally am a fan of 3c Toolbox for most of my diagnostic needs. Theres a free version available, check under the cpu manager tab for whatever info is relevant to you. Example..it will tell you live cpu frequencies/load, live power usage, wakelocks, all sorts of goodies
Have you tried to ODIN a factory .tar image?
sammobile dot com has the QI5 image. Just make sure tou grab the sprint one and not the unknown carrier version.

Thank you so much for posting this work around! My Wife's Note 4 has been working great for over a year, she bought it used. Then a few weeks ago a bunch of updates were pushed to it and it just started to act up.
I narrowed it down to always occurring after the phone was idle for more then an hour or so and started to look for a clue if this may be a known issue so your work around makes a lot of sense.
It does appear to be an issue with Googles 6.0.1 OS version since my BlackBerry Key 1 also received a bunch of updates but its fine.
I've updated to Android 11 a few days ago and since then my phone freezes multiple times a day. The screen is still partially usable and I can invoke the restart menu with long power button press but it doesn't do it. I always have to use the very long power button press to reset it.
I'm using Nova Launcher, but it also froze with the stock Google launcher. I did the update with the factory image and used Magisk Canary to unlock.
I'm pretty puzzled what's going and can't find anything on the internet, except mentions of that on earlier Android 11 versions.
Does someone have similar experiences or tips how to fix this?
I experienced the same thing yesterday. I had to do a reset like you did. I'm also rooted with Magisk Canary and use Nova like you. I'm wondering if at some point I will have to do a full clean install.

Yup, same here, also rooted. Literally happened 2 minutes ago. There's no pattern to it either - so not when I use a particular app or anything.
Not on nova though, just the stock launcher.
Same here. Froze this morning while it was sitting on the counter charging. Takes power button long press to get it to restart. Then, it hangs right after I enter my pin. I have to restart it 4 times before it gets past the "hang".
I'm having the same issue here. Phone has frozen multiple times after rooting. Other times it works fine. Can't seem to figure out the cause. Also no particular apps being used. I'm on Nova.

After disabling all Magisk modules, it worked fine and booted. I'll report back if I have issues again. Maybe it's a module causing it. I had Viper, systemless Host and WiFi Bonding. Not sure if one of these was causing it.

Interesting you mention charging... I had just put mine on charge last night when it happened.
same thing, was locked up and only option was to hold power/ volume up to reset. it would reboot and do it again, this happened 4 times in a row and then I noticed I was not able to get into my app drawer so on the 5th time I quickly went into titanium and froze nova launcher and I am in. My Magisk I have Props config, busybox and systemless hosts for modules. I see there is an update for props config and magisk manager so will try that. I was debating flashing back to 10 if this keeps up

Seems there is an issue with the Systemless Host module and that's the only module I have enabled. There are several posts in the XDA Adaway thread that point to it. It's been reported on GitHub and in the Magisk thread, too.
I have had this also. Finally today I found the module, at least for me. It is the systemless hosts module. Makes sense...they moved that around a bit in 11.

Ty!
What i did was just install systemless hosts module after install any other modules and reboot. No more freezing for me. Hope it works for you!
I can't see any modules in my Magisk. I can click on 'Systemless hosts' in Settings, but I can't deactivate them. I disabled Superuser access for AdAway and so far the phone hasn't crashed.
Thanks for the tip!
Update: it just froze
Has anyone read about any updates to this issue?

Nothing happening on GIT. But the issue is still open so he will fix it. I know there is major release coming for Magisk so that is probably taking priority.
I can't see any modules, so I switched Magisk to 'Magisk Core Only Mode' but my phone is freezing every few hours. I have to downgrade to Android 10 to be able to use it.
I had it without root and clean install, just fully stock but sadly it's very buggy. Gboard lags, Sistem UI glitches while in landscape and full screen mode, it's unstable to play games and will break some elements like settings, general ui, unresponsive navbar even in gestures and in some cases will lag the phone completely.
My overall experience it's like walking in a forest full of landmine, admiring how the new small feature helps and satisfy but once you enjoy much of it you suddenly step in a landmine with tons of bugs
With AdAway 5.09 I only had one freeze yesterday. I have since disabled Systemless Hosts and no freezes so far.

I'm on adaway v4, deleted systemless hosts, install my modules, reboot, install systemless hosts, reboot AND no more problems for me. Hope it works for you if you need adaway.
The only thing that helped for me is disabling the systemless hosts module.
No combination of clean re-imaging, installing different versions of magisk, or module enable/disable reboot manipulation helped.
This is with adaway 5.0.9. To be clear, I can clean boot with these fixes people have suggested, but after 1-3 days, you'll end up frozen and need to reboot again, hopefully without missing calls or sms in the process.
Hopefully there's a fix sooner than later, but as a workaround you can use vpn based ad blockers. It looks like adaway has an option for this on 5.0.9, but it's greyed out. I assume it's available if you deny it root access to the app.
Glad I wasn't the only one having this issue, I thought after updating to October monthly update it'd be resolved but nope. Kinda bummed that the main reason I root is to use adaway and now I have to disable systemeless host. Hopefull there'll be a stable fix soon
I had enough with it too so caved and factory reset , re rooted and back to where I was.
1 day, so far no glitches! And it does seem smoother and less battery drain .
