Help with Tab Pro 8.4 - Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble

Lately my tablet has been turning off and then going into a loop when it restarts. The only thing that seems to get it out of the loop is when I plug in a charger. I am stock all the way. Any help will be approciated.

You could try wiping cache while in Stock recovery, or doing a factory reset and see if that helps, otherwise you might have to trace down to see if a specific app causes this problem

Well factory reset did not help ....

Neither did wiping the cache ....

@uhmump95. I was having similar problems about 6 months ago. I was only able to solve the problem by re-flashing the latest OS. If you are not familiar with this process go here for a good tutorial on how to do it. You can also go here to get the latest stock OS for our 8.4 tablets.
I have since moved on to custom ROMS but the above got me out of the same issue you are experiencing. Good luck with getting it fixed quickly.

I have found a cause.
Mine started getting random reboots the same a few months ago, perhaps one month before the warranty ran out. It stopped after a full reset and I assumed it had been a software issue and I let the warranty period expire :silly:
It has happened again a few times, but I have found why: It only happens when the battery is very low. Somehow the battery sensor is not well calibrated, so it never charges over 90% and instead of shutting down when it gets low it keeps working till it malfunctions.
I don't know how to repair it, though. I haven't rooted it yet and I'd rather not remove the screen to get to the battery for now. Should the problem start being too cumbersome I'll try any of both solutions.
Does anyone know of a less drastic procedure? Thanks.

odd freezing and permasleep?

Hello Note 4 XDA family. My girlfriend has a note 4 completely stock. I don't use the device regularly as I have n6. She's experiencing some problems when the phone goes to sleep it never wakes back up. You have to do a battery pull in order to get it to boot back up. She is at work and dealing with it. But every time it boots back up its insanely laggy like 7-12 seconds frozen, with no force closes. Then once it comes back it works fine until she turns the screen off again. Then enormous lag and no power back on until another battery pull. I'm guessing its a problem with the device, I haven't seen anyone else with the same issues. Wondering if anyone has some input, I am going to do a hard reset tonight. Backup everything and (I don't know if Odin is still a thing but I'll figure it out) reflash the phone to factory and see if that helps. If not sprint should replace it I would imagine.
When it starts to lag. Does the device ever get really warm or instantly hot? It might be an application running in a background that's hogging insane amounts of CPU.

It's a software related problem i had the similar problem in the 1st weeks i got my phone it used to freeze for a second once every 10 second
I did soft and hard reset and the problem was still there.
But the new firmware came out which is the current one, i decided to do another hard reset to take the update and since then my phone is back alive no lag.
If the hard reset doesn't fix it for you wait for lollipop and do s hard reset before taking the update

We took it to the sprint store. She had an old class 2 SD card it it from my original galaxy s or HTC desire (don't remember which). The rep there said to take out the SD card and it will fix the problem. So she took it out. And no issues since. That seems like a really really weird bug to me. But he said its common in the note 4 with the slower class cards....? Whatever. No issues since.

[Q] LG G3 Turning Off Problem

I have randomly started experiencing a problem where my device would turn off randomly which has gradually gotten worse to the point where it's stuck in a boot loop sort thing and will shut off randomly during boot then restart.
The problem started by every now and then (sometimes not happening for a day at a time) the phone would turn off then turn back on again gradually getting worse. The problem started when I installed the latest update during the update the screen froze (no it was not interrupted in anyway and done officially through the phone) so after leaving it overnight and it not progressing I took the chance and removed the battery. it then turned on and finished the update without an issue. The phone has since as I explained got into a 'boot loop' sort scenario where it will work if the charger is plugged in but couldn't be a battery issue as doesn't turn off if I put it into download mode. Things I've tried: Doing a complete reset- Still no fix. and now today I entered download mode and re-installed the firmware which was successful but still no prevail?! What the hell could this be?! Thanks

Maybe it's a hardware issue
hi, where did you get the firmware? it could be corrupted. if I were you I would download again the firmware and reflash it.
after that I'll do a hard reset.

Well i guess im not alone as i have the same exact problem as you do! WHich version do you have? I have the White T-Mobile version and i bought it the same week it was on sale i felt that i got a phone that was part of a bad batch because of some problems ive had with it but i didnt buy insurance for it. i was on LG's OS and it started to get worse and worse so i restored it and went to a lollipop rom. its still happening but it only reboots once. however, as soon as i start using apps it reboots on me. i want to unroot it but at the same time i dont want to go through the trouble of rooting it again. Any ideas of what it could be?
My problem just randomly started happening and i noticed this started happening strangely after my phone completely died on me and didnt want to turn on so i connected it to the charger and it started charging but had a yellow warning triangle somewhere on the screen.

Hey, nice to hear someone has the same issue, I however hvent had the yellow warning triangle come up yet, as an update all of a sudden it keeps turning off as soon as it boots even on charge!!!??? It just keeps getting gradually worse?! However I have noticed the battery % it shows when turned off is 100% and very randomly it displays 70% then when the phone boots it will show 2% for the 2 seconds it stays on before it dies?!

Wait now it reboots on you even if its charging? I too started noticing that with my battery . if I turn it off and charge it it and lets say it says its at 75% well I turn it on and its like at 40%? I really don't want to buy another battery but I actually hope the battery is the culprit. There's a guy with a G3 in my school I'm going to see if he let's me try his battery out on my phone I'll keep you posted

Hey sorry for taking so damn long on replying i've been busy studying for some exams.
I've got good news for you though, i took my phone in to T-Mobile and showed them my problem. Without me putting much effort into persuading them, they shipped me a new phone, and no i didn't pay for insurance on T-Mobile, this was covered by LG's 1 year Manufacturers warranty!
Anyways, I received the device but did not receive a battery. So i tried my battery on the new one and what do you know? SAME PROBLEM!
So yea you should either try to unroot the phone and take it to the store but don't mention that you think its the battery, they'll send you a new phone! Then just buy a battery online or call them after a few days and say your problem is still occurring with the new phone and see if they send you a replacement battery, im a little skeptical on this second option as id rather keep this new phone haha

Hi, even i am having this problem, my phone is a D855 and in my country (Mozambique) i am not using a contract so its different than US, we have a LG store here but in the LG website our country is not stated. So only way is to go to a trusted Store that repairs phone here. My question is that, when its not connected in the charger it just keeps reboting (the notification LED doesnt even blink) infinite times. At first i thought it was a software but after going from Stock to Cloudy to CandyRom the problem was still there. Then after i plugged in a charger the phone would succesfully boot up and i could use it normally but had to stay connected on a charger. So what have you done to fix this? Did you replace the battery with a new one and then it stopped rebooting?? Please help me as i want to buy a new battery but first want to confirm if its the battery at fault....

Hello buddy, sorry for taking so long to reply. Im usually not on XDA too much. Yes i solved my issue with a new battery. I tried my bad battery on 2 lg g3s and it rebooted both. I also unrooted my phone and flashed a completely stock update and was still having that issue.
I hope my response isnt too late for you!
No problem bro! Got a new battery and do far my phone doesnt reboot, but the only problem i am having is that my phone shutsdown at 30% battery and when trying to turn on it says it has 0%

Im having the same problem gotba new battery and no different so annoying
Best thing just happened. I had the G3 for a while and my first one had an issue and had to get a warranty replacement. Long story short... I got two more G3s from T-Mobile that were defective and most carries have a policy where if you get 3 warranty replacements you can chose a different phone. To wrap it up, you can ask for a phone of equal or lesser value when purchased from the carrier (I bought mine off eBay and they didn't even notice, I spoke to several reps and no one caught on.) So they can either send you a whole new phone, a new battery, or in my case: I received a new LG G4 since I had gone through three which pretty much anyone can do with a bad battery.
Guys. Im having this same exact problem on my LGG3!!!
Expired Battery or Faulty Power Button could be the culprit
This issue just started happening to my LG G3 over the last 2 weeks. I've had my LG G3 for exactly 15 months and all of a sudden it started cycling endlessly and if it did get to my locked screen and i tried to unlock it it would just restart again.
I found that when I plugged in the device to a wall charger or high power power brick, it would halt the reboots but otherwise it would get stuck in an endless cycle of partial reboots (when it did stop after plugging in, I would find all my apps still open and waiting for me, so they weren't real power cycles).
One of my coworkers has a newer LG G3, so we swapped batteries and immediately he had the cycling issue on his phone and with his battery in my phone the issue vanished.
On closer inspection, my battery was a few months past its expiration (FYI to anyone with a LG G3 - your battery will expire more or less exactly as its warranty protection does!), so went and bought a new battery and everything is fine now.
For those of you who have tried replacing the battery and find it still occurs, another coworker said his wife had a similar issue on a different device and it was resolved by having the power button replaced, so it is possible that this could be a factor also and you should have your phone sent in for inspection/repair.
Hope this is helpful for some of you.

I've had the same issue since February, when my phone was about 17 months old. It kept turning off saying SIM card not detected. I tried replacing the SIM card and washing that area with alcohol with no luck. Then I replaced the battery with a second one that came with the phone which I'd never used, but I noticed no difference. It also has no phone service for several hours without my knowledge. LG just told me to reset the phone, but it looks like that doesn't work from what I've read. T-Mobile said they'd give me a new phone but there are no G3s in stock and offered me a Samsung 3, which is three years old, so I am worried that it won't be able to handle the software updates. It's ridiculous that a phone that costs this much won't even last long enough for me to pay it off. My last phone was an Iphone, which I had for more than four years.
I had the exact same problem a few weeks ago, posted a detailed explanation of the problem and got 0 replies and a few hundred views (thanks guys!)
Easy answer:
Replace your battery
Thats what I did, and the problem is now gone. When you do get a new battery make sure you drain it completely first, then charge it for 4 hours without exceptions.
I tried factory resetting, installing a new firmware, going to stock and going to custom but nothing worked.
The girl in the shop where i bought the battery surprised me, i just asked her if they had one available and her immediate reply way "why, is your g3 stuck in a boot loop?", apparently EVERY SINGLE PERSON that bought a g3 battery from them had the exact same issue.
Now the problem is gone, and my phone actually lasts longer than before.

Hey, I am having the EXACT same issue. LG G3 was stuck in an endless loop, replaced the battery, now it works down to about 30% and shuts off. When I try to restart it says 0%. I even tried a third different battery, and still getting that 30% shutdown. Did you ever figure out what it was? I am wondering is it something to do with how the phone reads the battery charge i.e. does it think the battery is dead when it gets to 30%? It has e stumped!! Any advice would be most welcome. Thanks.
wtf,actually same with my LG G3,after when I bought a new battery. Shutsdown at 30% and it says has 0%.
same problem

[Q] G3 persistent rebooting issue HELP!

Hey guys im hoping to see if anyone can find a solution to this annoying problem i am having with my phone rebooting on me in the middle of using it. The phone would reboot once in a while and i never thought much of it, but recently(this past week) its been happening way too much. Im using my phone and then it reboots, but it goes into somewhat boot loop. it restarts anywhere from 1 time if i am lucky to around 10 times! once i get it to stop rebooting i use it a bit and it reboots on me again! This was happening in the stock LG OS and i got annoyed and flashed a lollipop rom and its still happening but it only reboots once. However if i start using it it reboots. The phone is becomeing essentially unusable!!! I then started to notice that if i am connected to the charger my phone does not reboot at all! no problem what so ever!
Any ideas of what i should do?
Is this happening to anyone else too?
I was thinking about unrooting it through TWRP and then upgrading it to the latest stock OS but i dont want to unroot it if i dont NEED to.. Any input is greatly appreciated

I haven't, i was thinking about that too but i am not sure if a battery can cause a boot loop? There is another guy thst posted a question similar to this in the LG G3 thread and he also says the phone does not reboot if its charging
I'd also rather not cough up $20 on a battery if i dont need it #brokecollegestudent haha
[EDIT]- Also my battery seems to be lasting me about the same i am about to go back to stock and not download any apps and see what happens
Similar issue
i had a similar issue after installing the new stock lollipop rom via twrp
it was rebooting on me every 10 minutes or so, and obviously that rebooting was killing the battery.
I had to just pull the battery and fix it.
Their may be a less drastic way to fix it. but I fixed mine by going back to stock completely.
I flashed stock via the ToT method and then upgraded to lollipop via the kbz method.
Fixed my phone, it's now working perfectly and I'm very good battery life again
Given that you mentioned twrp and lollipop I'm willing to bet we had a very similar issue
unrooting is a hassle, but at least it's free unlike buying a new battery
same issue - fixed with new battery
I had rve same issue where it rebooted randomly then after a few days just went into a boot loop. However it worked fine while plugged in. The guy in the shop said it was software related but i went ahead and ordered a new battery from amazon and now the phone is working perfectly.

did you order the anker battery? i saw that many people wrote reviews that when they tried using those batteries they got an error saying that the phone didn't support that battery or somewhere along those lines

no, i ordered the original LG BL-53YH from Amazon. You can get them at more than half the original price. Also as an alternative you can email LG directly and explain the problem. I did that and they are going to send me a free replacement battery.

It's a probably software issue. Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/fix-stuck-custom-recovery-trying-ota-t2907508 or revert to stock. I'd say the best bet is reverting to stock via TWRP http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-g3/general/firmware-t-mobile-lg-g3-t2818667

Random Rebooting

Hi guys, I really need the power of the internet now. My googling powers have let me down, and now there's only you guys left to help me!!
I got a Lg g3, and i've enjoyed it for a while. I have experiemented a little with it (rooting and installing roms) and it's about 2 years old i think.
And now, the wierdest problem that I really can't understand, i'll try to explain as good as i can!
It all started a couple of days ago, my phone just rebooted as soon as I started up Snapchat. After a day, this reboot appeared more frequently, and yesterday I gave up. The thing is, as long as it's charging, it works fine, all of the programs. But when I woke up this morning, it's completely ruined.... i see the LG startup screen, and then the lock screen. As soon as i touch the screen, it restarts again!
I've tried factory reset and wiping data and stuff.... If any more information is required, i'll provide it as soon as possible!
I believe in you guys, help me out!
I thought about overheating, but since it works while charging, i ruled that out, right?

So, your phone its ok while on charging right?
Guess it's time to buy a new battery...
Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk
u sure it's the battery? cause it works a bit better right now. How can i check if it's the battery that's the flaw? it's so wierd that it just got more and more random reboots....
That sounds like the battery as it was the expect problem I had 6 months ago with a battery that was about the same age as yours. I found that my battery had started to swell, very big problem with lithium batteries when they go bad. If you take your battery out and look at it side on there should be no bulging anywhere on the battery, if you see any bulging then stop using it until you can get a replacement.
At the time my phone would work fine when plugged in but would constantly reboot when on battery power.
It seems like that's not the problem, right now it's working fine. I checked the battery and no swellings at all! Could there be any other reason for my phone to act out the way it did/does sometime still?
Did the rebooting start at a particular battery level? Reason I ask is that my spare battery is now showing the same symptoms, but only when lower than 55%, phone will reboot and immediately be at 15%. I pulled the battery out and could feel slight raises along it, not enough to see but I could feel it when compared to my other battery.

And now, the wierdest problem that I really can't understand, i'll try to explain as good as i can!
It all started a couple of days ago, my phone just rebooted as soon as I started up Snapchat. After a day, this reboot appeared more frequently, and yesterday I gave up. The thing is, as long as it's charging, it works fine, all of the programs. But when I woke up this morning, it's completely ruined.... i see the LG startup screen, and then the lock screen. As soon as i touch the screen, it restarts again!
I've tried factory reset and wiping data and stuff.... If any more information is required, i'll provide it as soon as possible!
I believe in you guys, help me out!

Dear Taynor, Try flashing stock firmware of your device. If you suspect your device battery, then first replace it and check whether rebooting issue is still there. Otherwise, flashing stock firmware resolve many issues. Use kdz with LG Flash tool 2014. It is easy to flash firmwares with LG Flash Tool 2014.

Phone becoming increasingly unresponsive?

Hi. I have a genuine AT&T note 4 that I got when it was released, ergo it's fairly old. Ever since a few days ago, the phone has been slow to open things, freezing for a few seconds before responding trying to do just about anything. When it "freezes" after I attempt to do something (like open an app, swipe a page, use keyboard, turn off wifi, etc etc) absolutely nothing responds; the 2 buttons on the front, the power button to turn the screen off, nothing. The time that it stays frozen has increased, and now it might stay frozen so long i just take the battery out.
The oddest thing about this to me is that the phone will function normally, too; it still functions fast and responsively 50% of the time, it doesn't freeze every time i try to open something, for example. There seems 0 pattern to it. I've already tried a factory reset, helped a little at first and now seems the same again.
What do I do? What's wrong with it?
If it's still under warranty get it replaced. Mine did the same last month and was able to get a replacement through my Square Trade warranty service. Resetting the phone didn't help with issue either and that's ATT Best Buy, Samsung will recommend doing 1st.

I doubt it is, and my screen is cracked too, so I don't think they'd take it. If they would though, a new phone would be nice lol
Try to reset cacne by going to recovery mode

Try a factory reset. I had issues similar to yours and it definitely helped. Be sure to back your data up before hand.
Seams like bad nand flash. I had same issue with my nexus 7 2012. That thing has so many annoying issues that i sold it eventually. Try resetting and cache clear and do not install any 3rd part app for few days. If it stays smooth and fast then its app issue not the nand issue. If starts to behave as expected stuck 50? of time then it is definitely nand issue only hardware fix (replacement will fix it).
If you are a curious type like me you should try odin. It will reset every thing of your device and probably fix any known software issue (flashing has risk u may brick your device)

It's not smooth and fast, so I tried to reset with ODIN and resulted in more problems.. refer to

and help if you can please!
thank you.
I am afraid I have only bad news, I myself did a odin flash oday twice and it went through without a hitch. It seams like odin failed to write to a partition hence failed the over all process. My previous statement is valid. Your phones nand memory is at its last breath. If u cant affort to replace your phone then try getting it repaired. A motherboard replacement sbould fix the issue. Ebay search can belp you with that and. Ite 4 is an old device so replacement should be faily easy to find.
