I have had my P607T for a couple of months now. It is box stock no changes. Over the last few weeks I have noticed that it will reboot while using various apps. (Fliipboard, Chrome, Clash of Clans, Papyrus...) They don't seem to all be heavy graphics or network. The only symptom is that the screen starts to flash then "bang" reboot (and trouble rebooting when not plugged in). It would not be too annoying except that it will loose wifi settings and the wallpaper. I have tried different wallpapers (saw a thread blaming the live wallpapers ) Unloaded some apps (had another phone issue with FitBit and HTC blink on my N4). I stay away from CoC (my base has been raided so often now ...). Any thoughts? I am really trying to like this tablet more than my old ASUS Transformer but this reboot and reset wifi is a pain.
Thanks in Advance,

Have you tried a factory reset? I'd make tmobile replace it
was hoping to avoid the reset button. Tried it and still giving trouble it rebooted while restoring apps. I bought the tablet on ebay, I don't think TMO will take it back. oh well I'll keep poking about.
thanks,
I experience exactly the same problem since the update to 4.4.2 (kitkat): The screen starts to flash, suddenly the tablet reboots. I tried a factory reset multiple times, also removed the SD card and reflashed the ROM via KIES, nothing helped so far. Also, even when plugged into the outlet for several hours the tablet didn't charge at all (I think it stopped charging when the screen saver kicks in).
A couple of weeks ago I filed a RMA request (my dealer sent the tablet to Samsung), yesterday I got it back. It was charged at 60% and when I plugged it to the outlet it actually charged (even when the screen went off). But after about one hour (the battery was still > 60%) the flashing reappeared and after a while the tablet started to reboot again. Interestingly the battery now showed only 2% and the low battery warning appeared.
I think the problem might occur only when the battery runs low (which happens very fast as something seems to drain the battery), while android still shows a much higher battery level . Never experienced these problems when the tablet was plugged in so far.

At least I don't feel so alone with this issue... I have been paying more attention to my build up process since the factory reset. I found, the other night quite by accident, that when I logged in to Twitter the reboot started. So for the next few days I have left Twitter off the machine and it is doing better. I suspect that something is hitting the power drain (like you mention) and that causes it to have problems. In that thought I have also turned off the power saving mode and auto screen now just to add to the list of things I am avoiding.

Have you considered rooting and using root apps to stop the apps from being able to do such things?
My S3 has recently been extremely laggy and will be unresponsive for up to 5 minutes at a time. Occasionally, it will reboot, but usually it will just freeze and stay there. I haven't installed any new apps and I kept an eye on my CPU temps and clock speeds. Seems like it is always running at 1.5 GHz whenever I touch the screen and stays there until the screen is turned off. CPU temps also reached as high as 69 Celsius and cooled down to a constant 47-50 Celsius (which I believe is unusually high).
I've ODINed back to stock NF1 and NH2 firmware, and the lag still persists. I've flashed SlimKat 9, CM11 M12, and it seems the 4.4 ROMs freeze more often than the CM12.1 0516 nightly I'm currently running, but all ROMs I use all freeze up. On 4.4.4, I used LeanKernel v9.16 with no overclock/overvolt and interactiveX. On 5.1, I'm using the stock kernel.
Could my hardware be damaged? I can't tolerate this freezing issue anymore, especially since each reboot drains battery and will lead to another hang 50% of the time. I actually contemplated tossing my phone against the wall.
Does it hang from a fresh flash without any third party apps installed? If so, then it is probably a hardware issue

Just flashed the CM12.1 nightly as a clean install. Ran all apps and did not experience any hangs, will do further testing to confirm the issue is gone. Seems like your advice worked and I should be ashamed because I troubleshoot computers and it's what I do/recommend when a computer is slow.
So my battery on my phone seems to suck... I just made a full wipe clean install of ICE Rom 3.5.0 with cleanslate kernel, balanced pnp profile v. 22, magisk root and got a whooping battery loss of around 30 percent overnight!
I was using stock before and had around 20 battery loss overnight, which sucks and is the reason i wanted to try a custom rom.
My phone is already 4 months old and I did a battery diagnosis, which ended with 94 percent (which is good right?).
Can anyone please help me?
I don't have Facebook or Facebook messenger installed, turned of WiFi and Bluetooth Scan and Location Services.
And I'm using Greenify, although I didn't greenify any apps yet

What email app are you using? How have you got it synced? See how many times it wakes your device using Gsam or some similar app. This was my battery drainer (I use Bluemail). Anyway, check that out first.
20% battery loss overnight is horrible. Something is not set up correctly or is misbehaving.
Reboot your device and let it set for 2 minutes. Now go to System/Settings/Developer options and select Running Services. Everything look OK there?
I cant see your screenshot.

Yes, I lost the same amount although I had the phone in flight AND extreme energy saver mode...
I'm facing the same problem after i updated my Firmware to 2.28.617.6. My Battery Usage show 45% of ANDROID OS an 39% of ANDROID SYSTEM, I'm already tried Viper 4.1, 4.3, 4.5, 5, 5.1, all with the same problem.
I updated firmware using RUU.exe, and i already updated firmware again to 2.41.401.3 with RUU again. Same problem
I realized the problem is not with rom, all of then, stock or custom, show the same situation. Its a firmware problem with Nougat
My phone is a Unlocked version, with S-ON
Any help?
I would perform a full wipe (+data!). Reinstall your Rom freshly, and the problem should be gone.

I'm already did that, all ROM's installs i did with a clean install.
With no one third app installed, the problem persists
i'm already tested turn of wifi, bluetooth, location, put phone on save battery mode, restart all permissions
Nothing helped
The main question is thats something who did not let phone enter in deep sleep
Yeah I've got the same problem with Android OS and Android System (the wakelocks are HVDCPD_WL and NETLINK) keeping the phone awake and preventing deep sleep almost 100% of the time, which is absolutely killing my battery life.
Frustratingly, the problem is not solved with a full wipe + reflash of any ROM. I originally had the problem sometime after the stock 7.0 OTA upgrade, at which point I unlocked the boot loader, flashed Maximus HD, then the problem went away for about a month until just returning a couple days ago. I've tried flashing the latest Maximus HD, Viper, but nothing is fixing it so far.
I bet it's some kind of hardware issue. I'm almost at the point of giving up and getting a OnePlus 3.
Just sharing my experience: I tried every Sense-based ROM I could find, problem of phone not going to sleep persisted. Even tried RUU to latest 2.41.617.3, which of course wipes absolutely everything - same problem, phone not going to sleep. As last ditch attempt, flashed the LineageOS Jan 28th nightly, and the problem is gone. Phone sleeping properly and battery life is back to normal. Not sure if coincidence or what... Going to stay on Lineage for a while as it works pretty well, but will go back and try Sense again in a couple weeks maybe.
This issue started to affect my phone while still on Marshmallow, around 3 weeks ago. It felt like it started after updating an app. This is what prompted me to update to Nougat. However, the issue persisted, even with full wipes, and even with LineageOS installed.
Moving from stock ROM to LineageOS has reduced battery drain from 10% per hour, to 5%.
Airplane mode and battery saver mode makes no difference to the drain. Neither does any WiFi and GPS setting changes - I have already read about a few possible "causes".
Perhaps the only option is S-OFF and re-flash all partitions of the phone?

Running a RUU would be your best option. This will wipe the phone and restore the stock ROM (system, firmware, etc).
Have you looked at wakelocks or app usage to see if there is any unusually high usages? I had a problem with my 10 awhile back that ended up being a particular version of Google Play Services. Usually these issues can be traced to a particular app or setting, it's just a matter of knowing what to look for.
Ohio wake_lock and no deep sleep. Same issue after reflash ruu, lineage, viper... on all roms same issue and no deep sleep. I think it's hardware issue. I try to flash elementalx kernel and it fixed problem for a day, one day only. Worst phone ever for me.

How do you make a battery diagnosis?
Hi, since about a month I've been having the same issue, the kernel HVDCPD_WL and NETLINK wakelocks are keeping the CPU in use and consuming the battery charge at a rate of about 10%/hour. Has anybody got any new info on this? I read of someone that claims of having fixed it by cleaning the usb-c port, but in my case it doesn't seem to make any difference.
Hi
After quite a bit of hassle, finally managed to get 15.1 and Gapps running on myZ2, latest lineage 17 November
Battery life is worse than awfull, 10% down in about 30 mins, with almost no apps running, greenify on for checking, just reddit and browser basically
So what's up? As with such a bad drainage i would have thought people were screaming, but haven't seen any posts on this
I have a motomod battery fixed a, sadly hadn't realised these weren't used by lineage ot i wouldn't have flashed....
Any ideas?

Battery mods should work on all ROMs built for Nash. My screen time is double what you're saying. I get roughly 6-7hrs screen time

I get great battery life on every ROM I've ran on this phone. 15.1 now for weeks with an average of over 8 hours of SOT
Hi
Your answer made me think
I unplugged the battery mod. Straight away the phone showed me that my internal battery was empty, strange...
Tried charging it, always showing empty... Stranger still
So I switched off the phone and started charging it, a couple of mins later, it showed 100%, bug in software somewhere....
I also charged the battery mod while unplugged, and then plugged it to the phone
Went into motomods in settings and restarted the mod
All seems perfectly normal now
It seems when flashing the rom with the mod plugged in confused the settings, might be better to unplug it so that the soft doesn't get confused
Many thanks
Minty95
PS : running the 18 nov update, the LED (white colour) sometimes on, how to switch it of or modify the settings ? haven't found the notifications settings yet

There is a known issue. Don't reboot the phone with your battery mod plugged in. The system will recognise it as the main battery. Plug it in after fully booting.
Is there a notification led on the z2 forze?

There is. Motorola didn't utilise it. In aosp, it is enabled.
Seams like I got to install a custom rom then,but first I got to read a lot about this device and how-to's before I try. Would like to get the led
The Z2 works far better with lineage than the stock rom, though it was a hassle getting it up and running
Still haven't managed to get trwp to stay
Sometimes the led is in though not for long and haven't figured out what switches it in
Battery Motomod works great, am very pleased with it so far

for twrp to stick, after you flash the rom, and before you reboot.. You need to flashthe twrp.zip.. The reboot into recovery, the boot system...
Think I tried that and got stuck in trwp, maybe I'll try again, though tired of reinstalling everything
Especially now all is just great, (exept the trwp)
I've got magisk installed but haven't learnt how to use it yet, as apparently it can install trwp also
I had a G4 that I rooted earlier this year. It was great. Everything worked perfectly (aside from the battery of course). Then, one day I was about to check out of a hotel and I placed the RFID room key in my pocket next to my phone. As soon as I pulled it out, the phone completely died. I have no idea if this was a random coincidence or not but either way, the phone was dead. I tried to troubleshoot it and found a few sources that said to (in so many words) heat the motherboard for a bit and then restart. I tired that, got the bootloader screen but that was it. I tried a second time at work and unfortunately the heat gun at work was too powerful and I fried the circuitry. So I bought another G4 off ebay that was refurbished. I rooted it just fine but I'm still having issues with it lagging and freezing. I always turn my phone off at night to charge. Here are the things I've noticed.....
-Sometimes when bluetooth is connected to my car, the Play Music app will freeze and won't work properly unless I restart my phone.
-Email and text notifications come though but take forever to receive compared to my previous G4
-Sometimes when typing a message, either in facebook messenger, text, or email, sometimes the keyboard will freeze for a moment before the letters will appear
-Sometimes the phone just lags altogether
I have the brightness set to auto, battery saver at 15%. I'm also running Greenify, Servicely, 3C All in one toolbox, System App safe remover - these are to keep apps off in the background and bloatware removed - although I'm just guessing on all of the settings for these apps. TWRP and SuperSU are installed for the root. I do a backup once every two weeks, and all of my files are stored on an SD card. I had TMobile reset the SIM card (for whatever reason, they wouldn't just give me a new one)
Phone specs are:
Android 6.0
Kernal Version 3.10.84
Software Version H81120x
Any ideas on why this phone would be lagging and freezing compared to the other G4 I had?
