Anyone else?
Fully stock? Do a factory reset from stock recovery.. Should fix it. If you're on a custom rom, do a clean flash. (wiping everything except data)
- Sent from an IceCold Hammerhead!
Thx for the advice.
But was wondering if anyone else is getting them.
I'm trying a few things to fix it as I never had a reboot since I owned the phone in November last year, until 4.4.3
At the moment I'm trying an older radio, but it's hard to pin since my last try of using a 4.4.2 kernel kept me up for 35 hours before it happened again.

no, is completely fresh
tried everything under the sun over the last month.. factory image installs, running safe mode, no apps installed, new Google account... ect ect
can't stop a soft reboot occurring every 2 or 3 days.. I use to have 'up times' of over a month on 4.4

Upgrade to 4.4.4 and see if it sorts out?? You get random reboots even when the phone is in safe mode?

I'm on 4.4.4.. op was posted when 4.4.3 was out.
I know it's weird, i was very surprised to see my new replacement do it too a little a while a go

Perform a factory reset and see if it sorts things out??
I'm assuming you're stock, unrooted??
still suffering from this
i have noticed that if location is not set to off, it's much better, where it can run for over a week at time
as soon as i turn location off, I'm lucky to get much over 30 hours before it soft reboots
going back to 4.4 it is completely stable as it always was

My MAXX HD will randomly reboot. This can happen during heavy usage, or when my phone is just sitting in my pocket. It (was) non-rooted, a large amount of apps installed, and on 9.16.6. The phone started this reboot cycle about a month and a half ago.
I performed a factory reset, and it continued it's reboot cycle. The only apps that got installed were K9 mail and Touchdown.
Any ideas what could be happening?
First thing I'd try is fix permissions.

Uninstall the apps that you've installed since this has started. Then, start reinstalling until you get it to do the same thing. Then, stop using whichever app is causing.

That is the thing. I am at factory reset. It restarted prior to even installing a single app.

most people dont like to hear this fix, but in most cases the best way to fix these things for good is to flash it back to stock. a fdr just removes data and doesn't fix errors in the system.
if you are still on 9.16 and want to keep that, you will need to use the 1.21 utility.

pretty sure you need a custom recovery, i dont think stock can do it.
Well... flashing stock seems to have solved it; a full day with no reboots at this point. Updates took, too!
Thanks all.
I had the same issues, stock, rooted, did factory reset no app installed VZW tech replaced phone under warranty. Now I have phone I can't unlock and still trying to root. not much help just passing some info along
About 30 minutes ago my phone was working fine, the last thing I remember doing was sending a text. A few minutes later I look down at my phone and notice it is in recovery. At this point I'm confused wondering how it got there, but figure it's whatever and reboot into system. It reboots back into recovery and at this point I'm kinda freaking out. I do a backup, wipe, and restore from a backup ~2 weeks ago. Again, rebooting just causes my phone to go into recovery.
Earlier today there was a notification on my phone about an update but I just ignored it as I didn't have time to deal with it. I assume that it automatically was applied and that is what caused this problem.
edit: If you have this problem, try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/fix-stuck-custom-recovery-trying-ota-t2907508
Same thing just happened to me.
I turned off OTA from earlier today and also removed the notification using AppOps and now I can't boot to anything but TWRP

Was coming here to say this worked - I was already doing this.
I'm back up and running again.
Not sure wtf caused the issue - I didn't take the OTA and have been fine on the phone all day until just now

I was the same - the zip file fixed my issue - didn't have to start over
Gotta love XDA.. i was getting ready for bed.. saw a bright light, it was my phone. Same thing as mentioned. only rooted and bumped. Have been denying the OTA. Even did the hidden menu trick, but still got notifications for some reason. Flashing the ZIP showed success; trying to restore my back up now.

Once you flash the zip you shouldn't need to restore. I just clicked on reboot system and was back in

Well i had to restore the newest back up, because I restored an old back up to see of it would reboot correctly. All works fine now. Still very weird.

I mean I still have Root and TWRP, I might have factory reset in my panic last night before finding the fix above. Probably the cause of losing all my apps and data
ATTT Forced UPDATE
It would appear after cruising the forums this morning that ATT forced an update to all users last night. It happened to me and many others like yourself. even people that had turned off updates in the hidden menu. It is total crap and not to happy about it obviously. good thing it sent me into a boot loop, and @autoprime zip fixed me up, even though i was back up on stock rooted, I took this opportunity to move over to the PoweruserV1 international rom to attempt to keep this from happening again. Luckily our DEVS are getting development moving and soon this will be a thing of the past....
I froze Software Update with TB and did not get auto updated last night and have not gotten any new nags today. I did try to update yesterday and got the stuck in TWRP thing and flashed the fix to get back working.

whats the name of the apk to freeze? Thanks
Just adding to this, that it was 'forced' onto me as well, and also sent me to soft brick loop (TWRP), so I'm having to use the get out of jail thread. THANKS LG!! YOU GUYS ROCK!!! (#[email protected]%&*!!!!) This is the LAST time I trust another corporate BS liar's announcement that they care about the 'community' and are going to try and be nice 'from here on out'. Moving forward, it will be NEXUS and nothing else for me.

It is called Software Update in TB. I only have it frozen since last night so hopefully this does the trick...it also removes update option from settings FYI.
Anyone else have this happen again last night? Phone was fine at 5am, woke up at 8:30 to recovery. Flashed the same zip and now it's all fine again.
Freeze software update with titanium backup so your phone doesn't try to install the update agian
wow att and their updates f*** with everything, currently having a locked s4 with old firm of mf3. i plan on upgrading my device but on the fence with all this lock down bs. switching to tmobile seems like a decent option...... so confused and undecided
I apologize if this issue has already been addressed but Im beyond frustrated.
Since my OTA update to 5.1, my phone is completely crippled. It randomly powers off about 10 times a day (not a auto restart) and I have to power back up. It will also auto restart another 5 to 7 times a day, when it does this it will get stuck in a loop of trying to boot into the OS and restarting all over again. So it will display "Google" for about 2 seconds and then restart again. This is only stopped by holding down the power button. The best part about this happening is that the phone then thinks its the first time I have powered on since the 5.1 update and will initialize all of my apps, which takes about 5 to 10 min. I have had 5.1 for about a week or so and its been getting worse every day. More power off's and restarts each day.
I should note that I am with T-Mobile and my phone is not rooted. Bone stock
My phone is borderline unusable since the update. Please god somebody help me.........

Basically something wierd went with the update, maybe a file got corrupt, some risidual 5.0 code is there. Who knows.
The best way out is probably to flash 5.1 again like said above although not really explained. This will ensure the entire phone is 5.1 and there isn't some 5.0 risidual code somewhere which is likely causing the problem.
It will flash your entire phone with stock 5.1, no root, custom recovery or kernel or anything, 100% stock. You will lose your data though, so if you can, back it up!
Download the 5.1 stock image here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#hammerhead
it will say 5.1 next to it, it'll be pretty clear.
Extract the contents after the download and run the flash-all script.

Before I do any of this I want to note that it appears there are many other people who are having the exact same issues as me. Is it possible that the update is just buggy??

there are people that are reporting a few issues, mainly the memory leak issue still being present. There are none or very little talking about 7 - 10 random power offs a day. This is very unusual and likely to be a specific issue to you not mainstream.

I htink you may have a loose power button or a loose contact. i had the same problem. Try to press it in really hard and it should fix the issue.

As far as I can tell it is not. It happens on fresh installs as well as backups :/
I think I finally got rid of the problem by restoring from an old backup through Switch.
Been 30 mins and no reboot yet.
Will come back after work with results from the day.
Update: back to rebooting.
Doesn't happen when an app is playing music/radio (Spotify etc)
Is there any way to get back to 100% stock?
Had to use twr to get out of bootlooping.
Or a link to get a working custom rom.
SMG920K is my model. Swedish version.
The phone freezes and flickers
Reboots automatically at intervals for no reason at all

I already tried factory reset for like two times. Didn't help. Lemme try to flash another firmware and see if it resolves. Thanks
I also have the reboot issue. I don't have any other issues. My phone has the official firmware, I didn't flash any custom rom.
The problem first showed up for me a few days after the November firmware update.

For me now all problems have subsided. I haven't encountered any problems since last week. I didn't even update. The problem just vanished. Thank goodness. Btw, keep an eye out for One UI 4 Android 12 update. It's fix most of the problems. And might bring new problems too lmao
Oh amazing!! I'm happy for you! I most certainly will, I'm looking forward to the update. The weirdness is that it only happens very occasionally! Like, in total I've encountered it less than 10 times I guess. It happened three days ago and again today (while I certainly use my phone a few hours a day).

Let's hope your phone also would get better soon. It's not like a software problem or anything. I don't know what kind of sorcery this is. Samsung must have put a spell on these phones
Haha thank you! I still hope that it's a random and weird software issue, so that it can be solved in the next update lol.
