Hi, Since i updated to android 6.0 I have been experiencing alot of issues. My phone recently started to turn off for no reason for every Rom I install. I cant use it for 10 minutes for it to turn off. Sometimes I must try like 5 times for it to boot. Is there anything I can do about it? Im just thinking I should throw it to garbage and get the S7?
Thanks
Does the same thing on a stock ROM? Possible battery problem?

I am trying to install the stock rom right now but during installation it shuts down randomly. I have tried another battery and it still does the same thing so I think the battery is not the problem.
Also wanted to say that I dropped the phone few times without any screen damage. Maybe that caused a hardware problem?
EDIT: I successfully installed the stock rom. I will let you know if it runs smooth now, thanks!
It seems that my power button has a problem, every time I press it, sometimes it opens the menu where you can select if you want to reboot/turn off/vibrate and the phone turns off.

Hi,
I have a problem with my phone.
When the phone is turned on for about 5-8 days, every once in a while the screen will not turn on again when pressing the power button or opening the keyboard.
Trying to call the phone also doesn't work anymore. Indication leds do still work.
After reinserting the battery, the phone works again.
Currently I'm running CM 6.1.1 but I had this problem with the original Sense rom and CM 6.1 so I'm guessing it's not software related.
Does somebody also experienced this problem and is there a solution for it?

rmk40 one of the Dev's for the Virtuous rom gave his theory on why this is occurring, here's the link:

Hi,
Thanks for the reply but this wasn't the case.
I recently updated to 1.72 and so far I didn't have any crashes yet.
Worked for me.
I was having a similar problem when trying to wake the phone or even answer calls,the screen would stay black & would not come on. So i did some searching and discovered that the problem might be due to the kernel i had installed. I switched to the pershoot kernel and haven't had any problems since.
so i guess ive been getting what you would call SOD's, only normally the only way to boot your phone is by pulling the battery ,well i can just hold the power button for an extended amount of time and it will reboot for a couple minutes and then shut down again ,after its through that cycle i can boot it normally with the power button, it happens when i plug the phone up and let it charge to 100% and if the phone isnt taken off the charge then it shuts down like this, its happened once on a call too and i wanna say the wi-fi was enabled every time ...i dont remember im running a test with the wi-fi off right now ,any how i would assume this would be hardware related since ive flashed every rom and it happens on all of them ....any thoughts? im planning on returning the device for another one ,just hesitant because i got one without any of the screen issues that some people are getting

It may be hardware related but it could also be an app that you are installing on each rom. Try a new rom and don't install anything for a few hours and see if it still happens.

SOD? whats that?
sleep of death
i think its related to the wi-fi being on while charging , just fully charged it and left the phone on the cord for an hour after charging and it never went off. ran it down to 90% and turned wi-fi back on and hooked it up to see if it does it again
that has happened to me with other phones, like Nexus S, I9000, Moto XT720
so it's definitely not hardware related AFAIK
the way i narrowed it down to has always been a ROM problem
after I flash clean up, or load a more stable ROM the Sleep Of Death goes away.
i had a lot of that with the recent "stable" CM 7.1 for Nexus S
flashed to a newer nightly unstable and it fixed the "stable" problem LOL
well i just got my new phone in yesterday and so far no random reboots or SOD's ,phone seems a little faster than my previous got 3700 quads stock unrooted and over 15megs download and almost 3 upload , i think i got a better device this time and im pretty sure it was a new one and not refurbished, im gonna run it stock for a couple days just to see if any problems re-occur, i was having them on my first phone before i rooted ,thats why i decided to root and install custom roms
I just rooted and installed TWRP. Now when I power off my G3, I cannot boot it back up unless I pull the battery. I am not sure what went wrong. Please help
this happens to me on both D852 stock ROM and Cloudy.
I have the Sprint variant and I used to have the same issue on every power cycle. But now it happens maybe once every 20 power cycles. Do you have xposed installed? Make sure you flash the latest framework.

Sorry, by power cycle I mean the power off/reboot process. Sometimes, I would reboot my phone, but instead it would power off and it would not power back on until I did a battery pull. I also noticed that this happened more often when my battery was very low (below 10%). But for some reason I haven't had this happen to me in a while.

Did this happen to you when you were stock and unrooted?
Can you charge the phone while the screen is off? Because when it happens to me, I cannot charge the phone with screen off.

Well, once I upgraded to Lollipop this started happening. It never happened when I was on kitkat, and both times I have been rooted with custom recovery. It would do the same thing as you are describing. The phone acts dead and it does not charge/power on until I do a battery pull. The first time it happened I was scared because I thought I bricked the phone!

Is there a resolution to this? Or how is the problem for you now
I haven't found out what caused the problem to go away. I can either relate it to installing g3 tweaksbox and having the power menu come up through long press of home button, or by making sure I didn't greenify/freeze any critical system app. There is a system app called "Shutdown Monitor" that I think controls this power down process.

It used to happen almost on every reboot, but it only happened once in the last month. I can't trace it down to one cause. I think it has to do with active apps or processes that are interrupting the shutdown process. Make sure all your apps are closed and cleared from recents before shutting down.
I've been seeing this issue on CM12.1. I always thought the problem was CM related. It's interesting to see it's happening on stock ROM.
EDIT: phone is a d852

U have D850 right?
This issue is mainly with the at&t version of g3. On stock KK everything will be fine.
But on any LP rom there will be the No boot without battery swap issue and also Signal Drop issue.
This is not a issue with the roms. It is an issue with our AT&T lg g3. After a whole lot of search i still could not find anything. So i exchanged it with the international version.
Ive got the 32gb 3gb ram International version and mine does it too.
Its completly stock no root.It did it once about a month ago.
Then today i did a factory reset,charged the phone to 100% and unplugged it.
Went to use the phone a few hours later and it was dead had to do the battery pull connect to charger.
Battery was at 84%.
I also have this issue on my 32GB D852 variant. Battery pulls about 50 or 60% every time I try to boot. Sucks big time.

I have the issue too- D850 Fulmics 2.7. It's randomly shut off twice now in the past two weeks. Hopefully marshmallow will fix it! At the very least I'm glad it's not just me experiencing the issue- I just bought the phone used and was worried it was a dud.
Since this thread is pretty old now I'm wondering if people who have had the issue have any recommendations for potential fixes too.
Downgrade your TWRP to 2.8.5.1 and this will most probably (90%) solve booting problem. Before that you want to backup your modem with newest version of TWRP because old wersions can not do that. In case you need to restore your modem, just upgrade to newest version. So you are fully covered
I know I'm late to the game, but I want to thank @Navuhodonosor. Downgrading TWRP fixed my problem. I haven't had to pull the battery in over a month. Reboot and power on both work now, though Chainfire's Liveboot doesn't always load. Considering I installed that to try to troubleshoot the problem, I don't care
Hi guys. A relative asked me if i can repair his note 2. I think his network was locked and the phone keeps restarting everytime. I flashed a new firmware on the phone. The one I use on mine..XXUFNG1, and also I went into recovery and clear data and cache after flashing. But still the phone keeps rebooting everytime. Why is that and how can I fix this?
Note : It's not bootloop or anything. You can switch on the phone, use it for like 5mins and then it freezes and restarts itself. And it goes on like that. Sometimes it doesn't restart also and you can use for more. But most of the time after 5mins, it restarts.

Everything stock..like I said! Before flashing to the newest rom too, everything was stock.
Was the phone dropped or exposed to moisture? Possible battery problem? Reboots even when connected to a charger?

Hi..thanks for reply. I tried another battery in it. The one I use myself. But it still restarts. I don't know if the phone was dropped or anything though. The relative just told me that it needs to be unlocked. Do you think it's software related? Or something is damaged in the phone?
Since it is running a stock ROM and still behaves this way after a factory reset, I think there is a hardware problem.
I might have a similar problem. I copy from another thread:
Hey guys,
I like this rom so far. But since 2 weeks I got an issue.
My phone randomly turns off, atleast I guess that's what happens. Sometimes the "notify" LED is on permanently but the display won't go on. To start the phone again I have to put out the battery and put it back in.
My battery is randomly empty pretty fast even if I just let the phone turned off. This happens like every 5 minutes.
I already bought a new battery but the problem hasn't changed.
What to do now? :>

I like the phone. It's over 5 years old and runs like the first day. Except it DOESN'T wake up anymore after a short time when the screen is off. I can press the power/home button as many times as I want and wait for 5 minutes, screen will still be off. Only way to "wake" it up again is to put the battery out and in again.
Currently I don't have enough money to buy a new phone and I can get a new motherboard for 25$. But I'm not sure if this will fix my problem.
I'm not even sure if this is the ROMs problem since it worked with all earlier versions of this rom perfectly and even the latest release worked for weeks/months.

As long as I leave the screen turned on the display/phone won't go off and I can use it as always. Even the battery don't drop drastically then.
It might be exposed to moisture tho. When I take a hot shower I'll leave it on the window sill and the room gets steamy.
ROM: [7.1.2 r24] LineageOS for N7100 [Unofficial] - Version from 08.10.2017
GAPPS: Open Gapps ARM 7.1 Aroma - 03.05.2017
Baseband: N7100XXUFND3
Ril and other stuff I don't know where to check.
Some years ago I had the SDS and the motherboard was changed without the EMMC bug.
Sometimes my phone only charges in slow mode too.
I try a clean install and newer pico gapps now. Maybe it will solve the problem. I'll reply then if it worked or not.
[EDIT]
Since my phone was low on battery I turned it off completly and put it on the charger. After an hour or so I wanted to look after it.
The green charging light stays on and if I want to turn the phone on nothing happens. The light stays on even after removing the charger.
Seems like a hardware, not a rom problem? Will changing the motherboard fix this?
[EDIT 2]
Quick update. I fully wiped/factory resetted and clean installed newest version of this ROM + newest mini pico GApps. Still the same problem. Gonna try it with another ROM/kernel now and if the problem persists it's a hardware fault.
[EDIT 3]
Fully wiped again and changed ROM+Kernel. Still the same problem.
Hello everyon everyone.
I have the SM-P600 version, everything was good until the beginning of the week when touchpad began to go off without reason, and completely random.
I first reinstalled several official ROMs from the most recent to the oldest, with no significant improvement
Then i rooted and tried Lineage, it looked good for a while, but in the end same problem.
Please note, when the tablet begins to mess, the reboots are occuring more and more often and after a while it turns in a loop and im not even able to switch it off.
Samsung logo display, black screen, logo, black screen, etc ...
I think rather for a battery-side problem, if some people have faced similar problem, I'm taking help.
Do you know if by chance we can use the tablet without battery to test this theory?
Thank you in advance for any answers.

I think I'd be taking a close look at the physical power button. Seems to me that if it had gone flakey it could cause something like this.

Hello and thanks for you answer,
Just to precise i never faced this issue while flashing an official or custom ROM, dont know if it is just luck or it can help in anything
Anyway ill try to check it the power button just in case
It's weird I just started having this exact problem myself. One morning I unplugged it and it had shut itself down overnight. Since then it randomly reboots. Sometimes I can get 20/30 minutes out of it, but once it starts, it can get into multiple reboots with the only way to stop it is to plug in the charger. I tried wiping cashe/dalvic (no help). Nothing was recently changed (including apps). Tried resoldering battery connector (battery was replaced a year or so ago with OEM Sammy). The P600 is rooted with TWRP installed, but no custom ROM. Usually the reboots start while I'm doing something (surfing, email, etc.), but I don't think it will do it while sleeping. I'm considering the power button, but I don't see this exact problem anywhere else, but this post. Any ideas?
OK. My tablet has taken a turn for the worse. Now it is stuck in a continuous boot loop. I tried the power switch, no help. I tried booting into TWRP, and it went back into rebooting before I could do anything. Strange thing is I can put it into download mode indefinitely without it rebooting. Should I ODIN back to stock? I tried the resoldering of the battery connection earlier. Any other ideas?
