I have had this tab for a few weeks and noticed that when it is in sleep mode the screen tends to go on and off randomly. Am I missing a setting or is this an issue. It is rooted and I am running GO Launcher. Any clues?
Mine re-boot randomly. So, I always kill the sound because I don't want to wake up at midnight by booting sound.
Usually my GTP reboot every 1~2 days, and became soft brick every 3~4 days. I should hard reset to boot it again.
What I have done to my GTP? All vanila. Original rom from factory, didn't root, just install 10~14 apps.
Mine kept rebooting randomly, and became a brick one day (hard brick). I tried to so soft reset, hard reset, factory reset, Odin and re-write Original ROM and etc...
Nothing worked. So, sent to Samsung service center. My tab was only 3 month old.
After fixed, random re-boot keeps happening.

One month ago my Desire S crashed on floor. At first all seems to be ok, only a very small scratch.
After a couple of weeks the first strange behaveour: it becomes to close applications (sense, browser, meteo, mail...). I restarted it and it begins to loop boot even after a factory reset. I keep trying to restart the phone since finally it restarted apparenty correctly.
It worked fine for a week, then it begins again to crash applications and now I can't start the phone any more over the HTC logo.
No RUU, no factory reset, no recovery mode... only the bootloader.
It is possible that the crash on floor brake somehow the hardware in souch manner?
What can I do now?
As of last night my tab 2 (p3100) has been playing up, have it running a pac rom, not updated in a while but all was working fine. Now when I do get it on, it lags a lot on home screen, can only really access anything for about 30 seconds before its practically unusable. When I try to power off or reboot it begins the process but ends up freezing, only way I can get it properly off it to plug it in to charge and then hold power for ages. Then getting it on again takes ages. Only thing I recall doing prior to these issues was installing the peel remote earlier that day, maybe just a coincidence but after that it all went wrong. I've just tried a factory reset and data wipe, seemed to initially solve the problem but after a few mins back to the same issues, any ideas?

Try flashing another ROM, like CM 10.2 or one of the stock-based ROMs. Make sure to wipe data, system and cache before flashing. If the issue still persists, try restoring a backup that you know worked.
Will give that a go, thanks.
I just got a refurbished tab 2 10.1. There were lingering pictures and settings from the testing facility so I decided to factory reset, but all it does is restart the tablet and nothing happens. I tried updating the tablet (it was already on 4.2.2) and it said there was a 60meg update and it restarted after downloading, but after restarting it said failed to update and to connect to Kies instead to update it. Then I tried a manual factory reset from Android recovery. The tablet can't even power off. It will always restart instead. (the battery was actually completely dead when I got it so it was probably unable to power off to begin with and shipped as-is) I held the volume and power keys anyway while it was restarting and entered recovery and chose to factory reset. Then I pushed system reboot, and an ERROR on the bottom showed up before the tablet turned off. I turned it back on and now it boots into recovery and nowhere else.
I got the tablet from cowboom (owned by best buy) so I have a short window to return it and have to make a decision. I got it for a steal at $150, and the device looks physically like new. Should I try reflashing the ROM or using a custom ROM? I don't know if it will fix the problems or not, and don't want to mess it up if I finally have to return it, although it is already messed up to begin with.
Hi XDA, looking to you for answers...
The Device: I bought my Verizon Galaxy S6 straight out due to that phone trade in for $100 gift cards that happened way back in April. So I have no insurance on the device. No worries, as its in a otter box commuter case with tempered glass and I baby my devices.
The problem part 1:
-Last week just before I walked out the door for my anniversary dinner. I restarted my device and it didn't come back on.
- I plugged it in and got no light. Pressed volume +/-/home/power - and got the boot screen
- Accidentally factory reset the device when I let go off the combinations of buttons (why factory reset is the second option I have on idea)
- After the initial factory reset, I noticed it didn't go through. Rebooted and saw DM-Veritiy verification error
- Tried multiple times to get a clean factory reset until finally I got into the phone setup wizard
- Phone setup wizard froze on me about 3 times before I was able to get it to work
- Finally with finesse and some luck, I was able to get the phone partially restored but I knew something was fishy
- Brought the phone to Verizon which said I have no insurance, the only thing I may have is a manufacturer warranty with Samsung.
- The rep tried to factory reset the phone, however the DM-Veritify verification error came up again and could no longer continue.
- After some time there, I felt like I was wasting my time, Figured I would this myself.
- Went home and flashed the STOCK OS on my galaxy s6 with ODIN.
- After ODIN, and many OTA updates, I was on 5.11 and restoring my phone
After all this, the phone worked PERFECTLY FOR A WEEK
The problem part 2:
- Was in a parking lot to get some groceries, sent a text and put the phone in my pocket. When I looked at it again, the phone was off
- Tried to turn it on... nothing... I held the +/-/home/power buttons again and rebooted normally
- Phone started up just fine but froze after a minute.
- If I get the phone on, it will either freeze/hard-lock or when the screen turns off, then its just turns off, or restarts itself to failure
- I've tried to reboot into recovery volume +/home/power to wipe the cache, however I get an android in distress
- After a few attempts to get into recovery to wipe the cache, I managed to get past the distress icon and press get the menu selection down once before the device froze
- After more attempting to to wipe the cache. I don't even get the android in distress icon anymore, just the blue android screen hangs
- If I use all the buttons to reboot normally - the phone will freeze or once the screen turns off, its off.
thats it
I feel like I just ate $700
XDA please help
Phone freezes in "recovery mode" 3 seconds in. Managed to get one wipe cache in.
Getting a "system rev. check fail device: 3 binary 1 error" error when trying to flash ODIN.
Guess you can't flash stock OS from 5.1.1
got a factory reset to go through just fine. Restored phone for 30 minutes and proceeded to use it.
Seemed fine and then froze while texting.
Seems to be randomly freezing and then a sudden restart.
Contacted verizon for the number to call for warranty send off.
*looks around* I see MULTIPLE issues regarding the S6 randomly restarting.
I should have got the Note 4
Hi,
Sorry, but if it keeps happening persistently even after factory resets and successful stock installs, I'd call it a hardware problem. The best thing you can do is contact Verizon or Samsung and try getting a replacement.
All the best,

Hello all,
Today my Verizon S6 (on CleanRom 1.5) started to keep rebooting. After it boots, I can use the phone for less than a minute until it reboots again.
Here's how it began to happen today, if it helps.
- I didn't plug my phone to a charger last night, and when I woke up the phone had like 0%~1% battery. The phone died soon after I picked up the phone.
- At the same time I turned on the phone, I connected it to the stock charger.
- I used it for like 1-2 minutes, and the phone seemed to get confused whether it should die again or not (at 0% battery level)
- Then the phone decided to die again, and keeps rebooting itself.
My guess is something related to booting, initializing, or battery might have gone wrong. Also the soft button lights get never turn on.
Now I cannot use the phone really, as it dies like 30 seconds after I swipe the lockscreen.
- I tried to boot into safe mode, it didn't help.
- I wiped cache partition, it didn't help either.
The last thing I would like to try is to odin CleanRom again (or factory reset) but I would like to try other things first because I cannot even backup the data as it keeps rebooting. Odin will wipe all the data in my phone.
Any help or suggestions guys?

The OE2 tar file shouldn't wipe your phone as it is not a full wipe tar. I don't know if your phone would do it with it's reboot problem but a dirty flash of clean rom shouldn't wipe your phone either. However, a reboot during the middle of either of those would not be good. Flashfire does seem to be able to keep a phone from rebooting once it gets going or at least it has for me when I have been caught in a bad way before.
Problem Solved!!!
Thank you Tulsadiver for your suggestions. But is it okay to do odin without wiping anything?
I almost gave up after struggling several hours and thought about doing a factory reset, but the problem is solved now.
I found it weird that the soft key lights never turn on, so I thought that there might have been something wrong with the power management. So I turned the ultra power saving mode on (fortunately the phone didn't reboot before I did that), and it didn't reboot itself. I turned it back off then now the problem is gone!
I am happy with it now, and this might be one of the things to try if you experience a random reboot.
