I have not been having these ramdump.log (essentially random rebooting) for some time, and whilst i've noticed that some apps seem to cause this process, I have not installed anything new for a while, other than updates to existing apps.
I have once again started to get these upto 3 times per night when the device is in deep sleep. Interestingly, each morning when I turn on the device, wireless internet is switched off (option unchecked), and I have to go into the settings and re-enable it.
Someone previously suggested that maybe it's faulty RAM in my TF? But how would I know that is not just a random guess? Also, my partner also has a TF, hers is the B70 (one of the lucky ones that are able to be rooted), and she gets ramdump.log on the same ROM (Prime with stock kerne), so it's perhaps less unlikely that both tablets have bad RAM? My TF is a B50.
Appreciate if anyone can help identify the issue from these 2 ramdump.log (I had 3 during the night!)
Thanks!

I've been having the same problem for the longest time, and it always comes and goes at random. It seems to be a common problem that gets resolved with an RMA, but given the inconsistency of the problem between ROM updates, and the fact that I seldom see RAM go bad I refuse to mail it in before doing a proper memtest (which for now I am not sure if there is an option for that).
It seems to me that the transformer just has a very picky kernel.
Currently on Prime 2.0.7, been having this issue since I first started using it at 1.9.1. Wipes temporarily alleviated the problem, except for one time that I used the wrong kernel.
I'm the same... Some days nothing, then others 3 within an hour! I found an application for stress testing, and I'm running it overnight.

Been going for an hour now with no issues with cores or memory, so maybe it's just some kernels don't like some devices? It's really annoying.
Hi all...first time poster, long time reader. (Mostly because someone has usually solved my problem for me six months in advance.)
My Inspire has been rebooting at random for about the last six months. The rate varies from once every couple of days to once every couple of hourse. Most of the existing answers are "replace the battery." I think that makes sense in cases where phones reboot while under strain (watching a video, during a call, etc.) because higher current draw would pull down voltage if a battery is failing. Not in my case, though. About 80% of the time that I notice a reboot, the phone is either in a pocket or on the desk.
For a few days I thought that I had solved it by removing the Facebook app. I had noticed a correlation between using Facebook at the phone restarting, and not using Facebook really did seem to make a difference for about a week. (Upon further investigation, that seems to hold across different ROMS. This has been happening with the stock rom, Ice Cold Sandwitch, and JellyTime.) But it isn't 100% better. I currently get about one reset every two days that I notice, and probably more that I don't notice.
That leaves me wondering, what could be going on? Is my hardware borked? Should I try flashing a different radio? I have had this phone for about 22 months and it would be nice to hold onto it a little while longer. Otherwise it has been a reasonably decent device.

Tim, random reboots can occur due to lack of memory. See if your internal memory is almost full. In that case, try deleting some apps or sending a couple to he sdcard. Take into consideration, that not all apps work fine from the sdcard, so just send the ones you like less...BTW, are you rooted or just stock?

That's an explanation I had not found. Internal storage looks OK in my case, with 701MB currently available out of 1.13GB. If it matters, the SD card currently shows 3.86GB avaliable out of 7.39GB. (I have tried with and without the SD card, and it doesn't seem to matter.) Maybe I should increase the free memory setting?
To answer your question, the phone is currently rooted and running IceColdSandwich 8.8 AOKP. If anything it reboots less frequently in the current configuration than it did on the stock ROM. I have not tried any Jellybean ROMs for more than a day at a time, so I'm not sure if that would be better.

Sounds to me like your hardware is bad. I have had my Inspire 4g for two years and the only issues I have had was maybe three apps force closing. I have never had the phone its self freeze or reboot. I have tried all kinds of ROMS and right now I have 4 regulars I stay with and alternated monthly. I Use Energy, Revolution, Smart Droid Red venom edition, and JB 10.1. All those ROMS are stable and cause no issues as you have described.
So from a tech view if I had your issues and it happens with all ROMS then that leaves only the hardware to be at fault.
so my galaxy s7 phone did it recently
exactly after one year warranty just expired the phone became painfully slow
it was a brand new phone sent from samsung as a replacement for my broken phone replaced under warranty
had zero problems for a whole year and i mean zero like no issues with speed or freezing at all
never dropped or dipped in the water to test the water resistance
always in a case since day one. no crazy apps. actually same exact apps that i have on all my phones.
no new apps were installed before slowdown
i already deleted some apps. cleaned up app cache individually and reset cache from boot screen
tested in safe mode and still slow
im not sure if the update was installed recently or not but the slowdown happened about 2 months ago. was there a tmobile update at that time?
im not really sure.
but this is the third phone that did this.
galaxy s5 that i also bought brand new for a year was well maintained and had no problems
that phone actually started lagging really bad and shutting down multiple times a week or restarting....
before that galaxy s3 did same thing. after exactly a year it became ridiculously slow for absolutely no reason
i install all the apps i use right out of the box. change all the settings to what i want and dont really make any changes after and it usually very stable for about a year
is there an app that i can use to troubleshoot?
or an app that will show me what component is slowing down the system in real time?
obviously something is slowing down the OS, theres gotta be an app that can trace the faulty app or file or component
i cant be the only one who noticed that
is there really no way to pinpoint what is slowing down the phone?
why do i have to reset everything every time it gets slow
isnt there an app that can diagnose what is loading up the system?
this phone is painfully slow suddenly with no apparent reason
Have you been able to view the CPU activity and the RAM allocation?
I am not sure how to do this, but if possible, it might reveal what is happening.
I would try disabling some of the applications one by one. First suspects would be:
1. Facebook
2. Google Play Store.
3. Youtube.
Disable one, then try the phone. If still the same, disable second and try etc.
Jim.
How is your device storage. Once you use more then 50% device storage android starts to lag. It's an issue with the OS.
device storage has always been about the same since brand new. which is about 80% on average.
doesnt safe mode disable all non stock apps? i tried safe mode with same result
windows has a resource monitor that helps alot but i dont know if android has any monitoring app that could help troubleshoot this
Samsung devices are known for getting laggy over time, try a different phone next time, in the meantime, do a factory reset and start fresh.

This is very suspect to me, but I am only a beginner.
Given zelendel's post about (re 50%), I would investigate further. Did you note his credentials?
What does all that data consist of?
What is the total storage capacity of the phone?
Perhaps some of that storage capacity is used as "swap" memory? Just guessing...........I am extrapolating Linux terminology here.
about 10-15 gigs of that is music/videos for airplane or when i have no internet. its been there since i got the phone
other things come and go like downloads documents videos images
im surprised theres no apps to troubleshoot the phone lagging when theres so many people having that problem and the best solution is to just reset the phone. which should be the last resort
if resetting the phone works most of the time then there should be an app that could look for conflicts as it runs in the background.

Depending on the amount of storage in your device that could be a lot.
Resetting the device wipes things. You really can't find an issue if the only issue is storage space. So here is a test. Remove stuff from your device. Give yourself a clean start and then go from there. Adding stuff slowly until it slows down.
I have had dozens of devices and the only time they ever got slow was due to getting low on phone storage.
This even encludes a 5 year old Samsung that I have that is as fast as the day I got it. Mind you there is nothing on it but some games for a kid. I even disabled all of Samsungs crap they install that slows a device down.
Could also be stuff acting up in the background
Run a log cat and see if anything is hanging.
cool thanks ill try that
got my internal memory to under 50%
reset cache again
deleted few apps and moved alot of them to SD card and cleared cache for those too
heres exactly whats happening
theres a delay for every action
2 wifi seems to drop in and out now since it got slow
3 facebook and browser wouldnt load anything on wifi
but as soon as i switch to data it works
i have to restart the phone alot now and close all apps multiple times a day to get them to work
also running safe mode had no effect on speed
i dont know when the last update was from tmobile but it might have been due to crappy update im not sure at this point
i got the phone last end of summer and it worked flawlessly every single day up until last 2 months exactly when warranty expired
how does samsung find faulty hardware when i send it in for service?
do they use an app?
ok this is getting ridiculous.
the phone wen to complete ****
facebook doesnt load posts unless i restert it by closing the app
phone just feels very slow overall.
constantly lags hangs. and in general just completely crappy performance slowly degrading.
i dont know why suddenly it started happening just like my last 3 phones
after about a year theres always a sudden decrease in performance and things start bugging and lagging etc
so theres no way to figure out why its slow?
isnt there some hardware tests or system scan or something that can help point to the problem?
Sorry to read that you are still having this problem Fuzzysig.
Did you try any of the suggestions in my post #4 and/or in Zelendel's post #10?
If so, which ones did you try and what resulted from those changes?

Hi, I was a Samsung user too and faced the same problem.
I went through various threads which gave me multiple solutions: rooting, removing bloatware, cpu monitoring and many more.
None of that worked. The phone was so slow that it was not usable.
Ultimately I had to throw it and buy another phone.
Then I noticed this is not just me, all Samsung users face the same problem even the flagship users.
I swear I'll never buy a Samsung phone and never let anyone buy one.
I am on the latest stock 8.1. I've noticed recently that when I download "large" files (let's say over 200mb), the phone will often become slow and unresponsive - and I've even had it force reboot. This can happen when downloading movies on Netflix to view offline, or when downloading files through Chrome for example.
The larger the files, the worse it becomes... The time the phone kept rebooting, the file was over 1GB. I don't know exactly when this started, but I'm sure I used to be able to download movies on Netflix without any problems.
Has anyone else noticed this?

Not had this problem. I'd say try reflashing stock tbh.
I am having this same issue. I'll be downloading a large file and the phone will lag and then finally freeze up and then it'll reboot. Have you still been having the issue?

Yeah, still have it. I don't do many downloads so I haven't got around to a factory reset yet. Maybe that'll fix it.
It's almost like the phone completely runs out of resources... I've monitored RAM usage during the download though and it seems OK. Really odd one... maybe a future update might sort it.
Sorry to bring an old thread back from the dead, but I have this issue too, and I can confirm that a factory reset does not fix it.

I'd only just noticed there was another reply to this. Indeed, a factory reset doesn't solve it - I think there's something fundamentally wrong with the OS trying to write large files to storage. For most people this won't be an issue as the average phone user is unlikely to download 1 or 2GB at a time. There are other posts related to trying to copy large files (such as movies) to their phone over a USB cable so I suspect it's not just related to downloading over a network. It's more of a general I/O issue - and it's really annoying when you need to genuinely download such large files.

Any solutions to the problem? My S8 has now been doing this for the past 2 months

Not that I'm aware of, sorry. I'm on the latest 9.0 release (November update for OG Pixel) and it's exactly the same. I noticed a slight improvement after a factory reset but it wasn't a permanent fix. I'm not sure if the issue gets worse the less free space is on the phone... I'm currently running at about 85% used storage as I'm on the 32gb model.
I'm having the same problem. Is there any way to solve it or work around it?
Still have this problem, I wonder if Lineage OS would fix the issue? If anyone could test this, that would be amazing. I'm on stock 8.1 now (don't want to upgrade) and I'm glad to know it's not my version of Android. The issue happens when the phone tries to write large files to the storage ie. downloading very large apps (guesing about >500mb?) or recording high resolution video on the camera. Recording 4K video softbricks the phone into a bootloop, I switched it to 1080p but I don't want to test if it still bricks the phone, but I did notice that at 1080p60 I could record <30 sec and be okay. My phone storage is always around or above 70% full.
Hey guys who are experiencing this issue - this is NOT due to the device not accepting large files. It's a sign of emmc going out. The way I proved this on one of my bootlooping pixels is unlocking the bootloader and flashing for example any kind of rom. If it crashes right away while flashing, this is proving that there is a defect in the emmc. This issue is very lightly documented but it was very tragic to the 6P and it feels very weird that this issue has been ported over to the Pixel because at the same time, it looks pretty rare and pretty common. I'd say back up all your stuff immediately and if you are on warranty get a RMA because this is completely ridiculous. This seems to be more apparent in devices that were exposed to moisture, even though it would be a extreme death if it was dropped in water, it looks like the device can die very easily from simply moisture. Hardware fails over time, my bro in law said that best.
Is there truly no solution to this issue?
I'm using an UMIDIGI A7 Pro and I have this problem
Note 3 32gb here this sounds like what I am having issue with my phone when I write to micro SD anything over 10 mb it reboots. Saving to emmc does not only when writing to micro SD. Moving it from onboard to SD triggers it too. After reboot it transfers and downloads fine.
Got a 512gb card today formatted in phone storage and my crashes are gone.
Been noticing a bit of a weird issue, the last few months (maybe since global FW 12.0.2.0.QEEMIXM?).
When I install a ROM, I format /data, wipe everything else, and start fresh. Everything runs smoothly... for a little while. But after about a month or so, it starts getting slower and slower - slower to boot, slower to start apps, just about anything that involves reading the data partition. And it's not just app bloat or anything - even TWRP starts taking several minutes to boot, and then another several minutes at "Updating partition details..." every time it needs to do so. I was wondering if it was just the ROM I was using (AOSiP latest), but I tried switching to ArrowOS and it's doing the same thing. I've got Magisk and EdXposed, but all I'm using EdXposed for is MinMinGuard, and turning it off doesn't help (plus, like I said, this even affects TWRP).
Has anybody else been seeing this, and does anyone have a solution? As it is, I've been having to wipe and set up all over again every month or so once that slowness gets unbearable. Didn't think to grab a logcat before wiping again just now, but I'm sure it'll be back before long.
Note that I am going through exactly the same thing, I think it is a problem of the UFS of the storage, maybe it is corrupted or damaged because doing a writing test, I see that this is what derives in the slowness, for now I still do not see how solve it, I think the same thing happened to MI8 users, did you manage to solve it or did you just give up

Never really found a fix, but I did notice some ROMs are affected by those slow-downs and some aren't. I've switched phones now, but I was using this PA Ruby ROM up until then and it never seemed to slow down. TWRP still took longer and longer to start up over time, though, so I still have no idea what was up.
thanks for the recommendation at least to use it while I buy another mobile, what a pity that my equipment ended up like this, that it fails with that poor quality disk by xiaomi, cheap is expensive
