Phone Crashing

Having issues with my phone crashing randomly, I recorded a logcat before the crash trying to get information but I have no idea how to read it. Maybe someone can help out.
Thanks

Will be doing something and the phone will just shut off. Varies on what I'm doing...browsing chrome... Playing a game...etc. Then phone wont come back on unless I plug it in. The battery is never dead when it shuts off or when I plug it in and reboot it.

Have a look at last_kmsg log immediately after it happens. Logcat only really shows what android is doing not what kernel is doing.

too much
Code:
E/PowerHAL(753): touch_boost: failed to send: No such file or directory
messages, I know it;s not much of an issue and that the mpdecisions are trying to overwrite and thus failing, but try
1.Changing kernel
2.Reverting to stock

[Q] Can someone clever interpret my Last_KMSG file?

Hi, So I have been fighting the dreaded random reboots for the last few weeks and despite factory resetting and loading a new ROM etc. I can't get to the bottom of it.
It only seems to happen when not connected to Wifi, when I am out and about and strangely most commonly when I am out jogging.
I was thinking it was something to do with the phone's radio's just because it doesn't happen when I'm using it or when it's connected to Wifi but this is just a noob speculating.
Anyway, I found some instructions on how to pull a LAST_KMSG file and I have attached it from the reboot that happened this morning. Problem is I have no clue what I am looking at so I'm hoping one of you clever people can tell me what it means.
Thanks for your time and help.

G930F crashes and restarts

I've had my phone since March and never really had any problems with it. It would crash and restart every once in a while, but not too often.
Now, it crashes and restarts multiple times over the course of a day. I think it started happening after I updated my phone to build G930FXXS1BPJ1.
One day my problems were so bad that I couldn't do anything on my phone. It would lock up and restart every two to three minutes while I was using it. I was tired of that so I did a factory reset. My phone behaves a little better now but it still crashes many times a day. Even when it's in my pocket.
Is there any way I can trace the problem back to a specific app or firmware problem? I'm comfortable with using command line tools.

maybe try to gather logs just after crash? There could be some info of problems leading to reboot

Sounds good. How?

where d:\logs.txt is path to file you want to save as. Don't save on c:\ because it results in 'access denied'. To use adb you have to install ie. this

I restarted my phone and let logcat run until my phone crashed. Here is the log. I'm not sure what to look for.

How to determine the cause for unexpected phone shutdown?

Hi all. I have Nokia 8.1 for a few months now. Updated to Android 10 immediately and it has been rock stable. Until today.
At about 11am I heard an incoming message notification but was busy and decided to look at it later.
At 11:55am I picked the phone but could not wake it up - tapping didn't work, fingerprint didn't work. Black screen. So I long-pressed the power button and it booted up.
It is working fine since but I'm somewhat concerned about the issue.
I collected a zip log file through "adb bugreport" command.
As I understand, it's tricky to find the cause after the reboot because all log files are generated fresh after boot. I looked in \FS\data\tombstones folders and found three records there, all complaining about the following issue:
Code:
signal 6 (SIGABRT), code -1 (SI_QUEUE), fault addr --------
Abort message: 'FORTIFY: %n not allowed on Android'
But they are almost a month old and I don't remember anything weird happening at that time; except maybe some Android system update and manual reboot.
Is there any place in that log zip or somewhere else on the device (without root) where I could find some info about what happened right before the unexpected shutdown? Kernel panics? Crashes?

Hmm, nobody? Does it mean that everybody else is just ignoring random shutdowns and have never attempted to debug the problem?

AFAIK logcat output isn't persisted over reboot, and maybe that's one reason nobody replied to this thread. But you can always write log to a file every time your phone boots (via shell commands etc) and just check out that file once phone rebooted.
Regarding kernel log, /proc/last_kmsg or /sys/fs/pstore/console-ramoops might be helpful.

Question Poco X3 Pro - Random Reboots and Shut Downs

Hello all, I have a X3Pro running PE13+, and all of a sudden over the past 2-3 days, the phone just keeps rebooting or randomly switches off. This phone has never been through much intensive usage and I doubt that would be the case. Although this feels like a classic case of PMIC, the phone DOES NOT reboot/shut down when it's connected to the system to pull logs through ADB.
I have tried dirty flashing the ROM, changing the kernel and removing any recent application to rule out conflicts, nothing seems to help. I just wanted to make sure there is anything I can do which can help me diagnose the issue, and decide whether it requires a trip to the service center.
I managed to pull a log through wireless ADB, it does not indicate anything out of the blue or maybe this is not how it's done.
Kindly let me know if you have any suggestions and if there is a specific method to ascertain what exactly is causing the chaos!
