I have a like new tablet from amazon i bought recently and it worked fine till i tried to watch streaming video from the CBS News app and then it started rebooting every 1-10 minutes for an hour till i did a factory reset. it still freezes or reboots at least once a day for the last two weeks. what is wrong with it? It does it with different apps. working one minute and not the next.

When I got this problem they replaced the battery (was still in warranty). Since then no problems at all.
How old is your battery?

I don't know. I bought it used like new on Amazon. I only had it for about 2 months. I have it plugged in when it does it too so I doubt it's the battery.

I had a similar problem : while playing game or watching a video, there was artifacts appearing on the screen and the tablet froze and reboot.
Hopefully I have sent it for a warranty repair, and they changed the little motherboard that links the main motherboard with the battery. Since, it doesn't seem to happen anymore (moreover I'm using Los 14.1, not touchwizz anymore).
You can search around the Web I've seen other tablets having similar problem.

Hi everyone !! I just bought my midnight blue arc yesterday morning and am loving it!
All those people who have problems with the battery please get your phones checked coz i feel the battery life on this phone is pretty pretty decent.
Anyway I'm facng a problem that the phone rebooted thrice yesterday while I was on a call!! Is anyone else facing this problem ? Any remedies ??
Thanks
not a problem here for me.. I have heard that this problem seems to be affecting phones in Japan.... also heard that a full SD card reformat seems to have helped some people..
Oh nooo! Call wonk is back on Arc now?
You can try dewonkificator from the N1 section
I have experienced the same thing several times. Has also experienced the phone stalls for 3-5 seconds, and app links on the bottom row do not respond.
Sad as it actually is the best designed phone in my opinion.
Does the phone get hot? i noticed that the phone (close to the camera) gets hot playing games.
Received mine this morning, it's frozen and restarted once, and took ages to restart after freezing.
Ive noticed it getting very hot towards the top half of the screen while i was playing dungeon defenders.
It's a shame, because i really like this handset.

mine working like it should be without any reboots and other stuffs
about battery, 10% and charge for at least 1 week til full , then back to normal charging (someone advice)
Yes same for me... multiple reboots per day. Brand new.. Cool phone but unstable
I have used Arc 3 days now... One reboot on 1st day... Otherwise no reboots
I also have this problem for the 4th time since wednesday last week.
And it is completely random. Phone never gets hot when this happen. One time it happend when it was idle.
I have contacted SE about this issue and they do not know about this problem.
So i am gonna exchange mine for a new one tomorrow.
Oh yeah, and i also cannot pair with my nokia 3100 carkit. I think this is software related problem. My desire had this problem also with some gingerbread roms, other gingerbread roms were fine. So i hope SE will update to 2.3.3 soon.
Mine rebooted only once on 3 days while in idle.
Not a big deal, I think it's because of 2.3.2
Wait for an official upgrade to 2.3.3 or custom roms
So far it never rebooted in idle, but what I recognized is that the phone rebooted several times when connected to the PC or when syncing Music with MediaGo...
Don't know why it occurs, but it happens regularly when I'm connected to the PC and is quite annoying tbh, especially when trying to transfer something like an ISO...
Actually, when trying to transfer Gran Turismo 2 it ALWAYS reboots
Sorry, double post. Pls delete.
Same here. I have several reboots every day.

May be we are using som apps which currently are not Gingerbread friendly??
thats true ... playing a game like flying attack or somthing like this HD ... it will get hot close to the camera ..
I ve had a reboot while riding to work with music playing.
I wouldnt of minded so much if the start up time wasnt as bad as an Iphone.
mine rebooted like 5 times today, usually just after ive used it and put it down on my desk, it suddenly reboots, anyone found out why? could not find any information anywhere other than the 2.3.2 issue
i'm using my Arc for 7 days and it never rebooted by itself. Are you guys playing while in the charger? i noticed it gets hot when it's in the charger.
in the weekend arc was idle for 64hours than i did a reboot because the music player couldn't play any music. now is the phone on for 67 hours no auto reboot. played games, listen to music, browsed the web.
3 days in now and haven't had a single reboot ad yet

I have had my Note 8 for a couple of months and just recently I have been having battery problems. I restored the Note 8 to factory settings (just to be sure) and am still having the same problem.
It seems that when I watch videos or play any games the battery depletes extremely quickly e.g Its 80%, I start to play the game and within 3-5 minutes the battery is 30%. I play again and its 5% and the screen dims (which is also a pain in the ....) I realise that Games and Apps use a lot of power but surely not this much.
I have looked around for battery calibration instructions and apps but are a bit dubious to try them as I have read that you can deplete the battery totally and the device then wont charge.
Just wondered if anybody else has had the same problem.
Thanks.
My note has a great battery life. For this situation I would look in the battery menu for any apps not closing correctly thus sucking battery. Remember to dis activate GPS, Bluetooth and data when not using them. Check the screen brightness is 50% or less. Automatic brightness should be fine also.
here's a lot of info related to batteries. I'm sure you will find it usefull
http://batteryuniversity.com/
Don't waste time with calibration. Sounds like the battery ifs failing or dying, either way it's bad.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 4
I usually have Bluetooth and GPS turned off and have the screen on Auto Brightness. I also restored to factory and the problem still persists.
One strange thing is that when I charge it from 10% it takes about 50 minutes to get to 100%. I thought that was a bit quick. The battery must be reporting the wrong charge to the OS. I wish they had user replaceable batteries in this thing although its probably not practical.
I will give Samsung a call. Cannot beleive it has happened now as I am off on holiday soon to the US and wanted to use it there.
Thanks.

Hi, I've had the same issue. I sent the device for service under warranty and they could not find a fault. They only reflashed the firmware.
Its been working fine since I got it back. I updated to 4.2.2 and its working just fine.

same with me chas0001, and JCUK89, my situation is actually identical to chas0001, but my device is like a mth old now, i received it on august 5th 2013,
so its basically been used for jus over a mth now. and i barely use it, maybe 3 hrs a day, most days less than 1 hr, constant use.
i dont kno, can anyone help. on xda developers. ??
I called Amazon.co.uk (where I bought it from) and they agreed to replace it for me. Its was definitely faulty and unusable. I kept reading about people with the similar problems and so eventually decided to not get a replacement but a refund.
Its a shame really. I really liked the device but I need something more reliable. I also don't care for Samsung with their constantly delayed OS updates. 4.1.2 for a 'flagship' device. Surely if they get rid of that Touchwiz crap they can release timely updates. You never know even my Note 2 may get an OS update this year!
Just went out and bought a Nexus 7 (2013). NOW...what to do with those 5 Galaxy Note 8 cases

I would see of you can get it exchanged (assuming you still want to keep the device).
I just picked up a SW3, and upgraded it to MEC24H. So far, I am pretty happy with it. I'll get a full day out of the battery, and that was with the just got it fingers playing with it more than I normally would.
I've heard some bad things about mwd49b on our watch, my watch keeps asking me to update, should I just avoid the mwd49b update for now and stick with MEC24H?
Thank you!
You can deny the card when ask for upgrade but I do not know if they ask again and again later ?

too bad
I can't use my SW3 since this update. The watch go from 3.5% by hour to 6-8% by hour, so unusable now
I've updated and have perfect battery life, easily 2 days. Yes, I'm a light user, but still......
I'm absolutely happy with the update. GPS is fine, in short everything works as it should.........
The latest update works fine on my watch. I even dirty flashed it, no hard reset. The only problem I have is that the watch would not fully charge when turned off. It will overheat and stop at about 60% charge.

Well I've found the update to be perfect here and same battery life as before. Strange how different people are having different experiences
Noticeably shorter battery life but the watch works much better. If you don't like to charge it every day or (almost) two - don't update but the update itself fixes many problems that occurred right after the update to 6.0
I've updated and my watch lasts almost for two days, I'm happy with the update but I'm waiting for the further fixes, mainly fixes for the battery.

Since accepting the update on my SW3 GPS has become unusable for any long-term tasks. It might last 20 or 30 minutes returning (relatively) accurate values but then accuracy shoots out to 64m or more and renders it useless for any serious application. I have two watches and they've both started doing the same thing. Personally I'd stick with version 5 for now until they fix it.
Interestingly enough yesterday my battery life restored close to normal after about a week of horrible drain. I did not do anything to the watch...

I recently observed that my Note 7 have heating up episodes and eventually freeze. I suspected beta apps but I did uninstall all of them. It kept heating up and freeze so I did a full system reset and installed about 2 to 3 apps and it started to heat and freeze again.
Lately I also observed that when I use the camera heavily the phone starts to heat up again and freeze.
My note 7 is due for replacement on October 15 and I still have to suffer these problems for 19 more days.
Any solution on what to do?
Yes, do what they suggested in the recall - power it off and do not use it.
Sent from my SM-N930T using Tapatalk
That's exactly what happened to me. I did replace it with Note 4 until new Note 7 arrives here ( Egypt ).
I think its the battery starting to fry chips .... solution - wait to exchange! My new one is perfect now for over 2 weeks.

I too have been having the problems you described, intermittently, freezing mid use, getting warm etc, but it has spells where it gets much much worse.
The phone wouldnt boot, wouldnt go into recovery, would partially boot then freeze, would not "hard reset" would not go into recovery, all intermittently.
I couldnt do a factory reset (which i thought might help) as although i managed to get to recovery (after about 5 tries) it couldnt read any of the memory, maybe this is whats causing the exynos phones to lock up, memory errors?
My phone booted about twenty minutes after the photo was taken, and im writing this post on the phone i was having issues with without doing a factory reset (because it didnt work when i tried) but itll be back sure as day, and ill be very frustrated. I hope my replacement doesnt do the same.
I'm using a new note 7 now and let's see how it will go. I'll update you. According to the store my note 7 fried a few capacitors so when it overheats, it freezes.

Hello everyone
So today after puting my phone into the charger (it was about ~22% battery), gone to shower and when I get back it was rebooted in the boot-password screen (my phone is protected with it). Then I insert my password and it rebooted again but only at Google screen, after 5 minutes of restarting in google screen it booted normally and everything worked. After 30 minutes of use, the same thing happened again, and again after ~10 minutes of use.
I'm on 7.1.2 beta 2, is this a system bug or a hardware issue? My phone isn't at warranty, im from Brazil and bought it feb/2016 from a friend who was in the USA.
Hope my nexus 5x is not dying

At this moment the problem not happened in the last 12 hours. Has Google fixed the problem after sending it or they just replaced with a new one?

Even with high percentage my phone reboots, just tried unerolling beta and reverted to 7.1.1, still the same. I'll now try flashing Android O DP1 by fastboot...
