stability update

Has anyome else recieved a stability update on the 8.4?

yes for the US SM-T320 8.4 but I'm getting random reboots. it was fine on the earlier version, never had any random reboots. I tried to factory reset after the update but still the same. it seems to do a soft random reboot when you are doing something on the tablet and you leave it idle for a few seconds. It never rebooted while I'm actively using it even if the load is high..

Mine says device modified, I am rooted - any workaround?

I'm currently uploading the new ND3 DeOdex ROM base now. (Tab Pro 8.4 Wi-Fi)
I will also upload the bootloader firmware (Odin flashable) too.

I managed to capture a logcat but I can't seem to identify the cause of reboots, can anyone assist with that pls...

TabPro 8.4 random restarts
Hello guys
So, it appears i am not alone then.
The school i work in as an IT tech, has purchased us 2 TabPro 8.4 tablets and the one i have has given me hell so far with these random reboots.
It has the latest update and is also rooted. It has nothing to do with the root i believe as it did it before and also after applying the latest OTA update. I have now factory reset it and noticed a slight difference in the home screen where i now have 2 pages (1 home screen of course) wheres, as far as i remember, when i first turned it on it only had 1. I may be wrong though.
I didn't sign in to any accounts yet (google, samsung dropbox etc.) and left it with Google chrome and Samsung own browser open. I suppose only time will tell now. It's really bloody frustrating though because i spent hours loading all my apps again and restoring app data via Helium etc.
Another thing i noticed is that even i after wiping the tablet via recovery (Wipe device/factory reset option) it actually kept root.

New device, issues gone
Got my replacement unit from John Lewis today (i must say their service is the best i have seen) and spent hours on the device rooting it and installing all the apps i had on my other unit.
I have not encountered one single reboot so far , whereas my previous unit restarted on me pretty much 30 minutes after i first turned it on.
My advice to you is if you are having stability issues and random restarts with your TabPro 8.4, send it back for a replacement.

I installed the update also and haven't had any issues or random reboots either. The screen sensitivity fixes are great. Huge difference.

I spoke too soon it seems. It did restart on me. Twice. Once whilst caching images on quickpic app and second time installing Samsung's own office suite of applications.

What is this? Stability or Instability update? Sammy, why?

anyone who doesn't suffer from Random reboots, are you rooted?
also those who suffer from reboots, are you all rooted?
My the Theory: I think this reboots are related to being rooted or have knox void.

Mine restarted before root but after I installed the OTA update. I since rooted it but it didn't change a thing obviously. God knows how many times it reboots a day. I leave it in airplane mode with a few apps running and after a couple of hours I notice that the apps that ran on the background are not there anymore so I figured out it restarted. is there anyway to uninstall the OTA update???

Stability update
Since reverting back to old version (and rooting the device again) i have suffered 0 random reboots. Looks like the latest update screws something up.

I have two 8.4's and they both boot when I wake them up. They are rooted with Xposed, but I uninstalled Xposed and tried one without it and it still boots at random. So IMO Xposed/root isn't causing the trouble.
See my other post... wonder if that'll fix this. I'd almost rather have the reboots over the screen sensitivity problem, but either way, the tabs aren't really usable.

I have used my tab pro 8.4 now for 5 days running on the old firmware rooted and with xposed running, without a single glitch. I'd strongly advise people to avoid updating the tablets to the latest ND3 firmware.

I purchased a tab pro 8.4 a few weeks ago and was noticing random reboots several times an hour. A couple of days later I got the update and didn't see any change in reboot behavior. Couldn't link it to anything at all as it happened before as well as after rooting and adding Xposed.
Changed to Average Joe's debloated (elsewhere in the forums) and have had zero random reboots since. Also running several exposed modules without any problems. Purely anecdotal, but it appears to have increased the overall responsiveness of the device while keeping most of the good things Samsung put on top of stock Android.

New update
Samsung released a new update to the TabPro 8.4 which is supposed to improve stability and add "Kids mode" (firmware version ending with NE3). I gave it a go and the random reboots got back! wiped my device clean and installed NAI firmware and all is well again!

[Q] Rebooting.

Tablet has had quite a few random reboots in the last few days.
It's happened when I closed all tabs in chrome. It has happened after uninstalling an app. It's happened after selecting to greenify google play services - and wiped all the greenify settings. It's happened at, as far as I can tell, random times and circumstances.
It is probably kernel related but this is a new tablet for me and I'm not too familiar with any custom roms or kernels on this device. Currently running xKat v4 with the included kernel.
Anyone else experiencing this? Anyone have a fix recommendation or suggestions?
Thanks.

I got random reboots in the first couple of weeks when I first got the tablet ... Mainly when I unplugged off charge. I think I drained battery to 5% switched it off and charged it to 100% and never had any issues after that.
P.s this happened like a year ago so can't really remember much tbh - but I do know I didnt have to factory reset or anything drastic, it just fixed itself also bare in mind back then I was on stock JellyBean. Soz I can't help more.

Never had a reboot ever. Had tablet a year....still on jb rooted stock Rom.....

I'm also experiencing frequent and random reboots with my SM-P600 since the update to 4.4.2 (never had any reboots before):
First the screen starts flickering (this happens quite often using Google Chrome or playing youtube videos, but it occurs with other apps as well), then after a while the tablet suddenly gets unresponsive and reboots (sometime it reboots several times in a row).
I've already tried multiple factory resets and cache/davlik wipes, re-installed the 4.4.2 firmware using kies, but nothing helped so far.
Anyone any suggestions what else I can try?

Did you check the temperture?? download a cpu temp check and see if it's overheating. Also, is your tablet rooted??

XL rebooting in 8 and 8.1 after beta program update

I'm not sure if this is an 8.1 bug as it seems it started on android 8, 48 hours ago but has gotten worse on 8.1 after the update overnight.
The last 3 days I was running Android 8 and the phone suddenly started to reboot a once or twice a day.
I've received the 8.1 upgrade notice last night because I'm apart of the beta program, so I started the upgrade.
the software updated to 8.1 last night... It wasn't smooth at all, the device rebooted 5 or 6 times during the automatic update.
When I woke up it was running 8.1 but the rebooting continues now, but happens more often... The phone has rebooted 4 times in the last 3 hours.
To make clear, the frequent reboot started a couple of days ago on Android 8 and has continued to 8.1
If the phone is left alone, it will not reboot, it'll sit, and not reboot....when you wake it you can use it.....but when i'm moving through any apps with normal movement, it seems to freeze for a few seconds and then either go back to normal or reboot.
whether it's pocketcasts, text messenger, or the google play store app, it will freeze for a moment, sometimes go back to normal, sometimes reboot.
I have sent the logs along with the details to the beta program and i'm waiting to hear from them.
Is there anyone else i might be sending this issue to
What might be wrong?

dd a reset and that seems to have solved the problem......running 8.1 and the reboots have stopped....we'll wait and see

Using pixel xl for almost 1 month with last oreo rom, 2 random reboots, i´m very disapointed with google, but to be honest i was expecting this, since google devices , especially last ones, are not reliable at all.

I've been in the beta program since I've got my Pixel. Only issue I've had so far is AirDroid is broken on 8.1 Beta. Everything else is working 100% that I do personally. YMMV
Today is my first real day testing battery life on Beta so I'll see how it goes.

Random Rebooting

I haven't unlocked the boot loader nor added any custom ROM on my Pixel, but last few months it started to reboot at random times. I did a factory reset and it lasted a few weeks before doing it again. I've been slow to add my old apps back to see if it was an app, but it doesn't seem to be the case.
I thought about flashing a ROM, maybe it would help haha.
Any ideas?

Do you have Pokemon Go installed? I have the same problem when that game is installed.

I don't. I don't have any games installed right now to test things but it still reboots.

Having the same problem - started about 2 weeks ago as far as I can tell. Haven't done anything to the bootloader and isn't rooted - completely stock. Seems to happen when browsing web pages, or pages with links on such as within Twitter or Google app. Not every time. Phone just freezes for about 3 seconds and then reboots. WTF?

I believe this is an app problem so try to pay attention to what specifically you are doing when it happens. Like the guy above says, happens fairly frequently with Pokemon GO since one of their updates this year-ish. I personally haven't noticed it anywhere else.

Have tried uninstalling bitdefender ... see if that makes a difference
2 DAYS LATER - seems to have solved the problem!
