Rebooting may be a hardware problem

First g2x rebooted constantly. Froze up on charger. Required battery pull.
New g2x hasn't rebooted yet. Same SIM card.
My guess is that if yours reboots you got a dud and should exchange it.

The same happened to me. First phone suffered from reboots.
My replacement is fine but I still haven't root it, so I blamed it on the root process.
Is yours rooted?

To counter your point..
Original G2X - rebooted a lot but then removing apps, software changes have made it more stable. Usually go 3+ days without a reboot
Replacement G2X (sent back) - rebooted just like my first one so i didn't even bother removing apps. SAME BATTERY AS ORIGINAL!
I also think it's mainly the battery which is what you're seeing by getting a replacement. I think some batteries don't charge properly so there are times when the voltage drops too much to sustain the phone causing a lock/reboot. I've been monitoring my phone and the more I think about it the more I realize most of my reboots happen after I had taken it off the charger at 100%. I can use it without charging it and it never reboots. Also battery monitor widgets,etc. cause reboots which all comes back to a bad battery or horrible battery driver which CM devs have already said existed.

After months of being in denial about the same problem which has plagued the O2X since launch, a couple of weeks ago LG Europe acknowledged the problem publicly and said it was software.
http://translate.google.com/transla...alligevel-problemer-med-optimus-2x,lid.15324/
Here's the post on the O2X forum that discusses the problem in gory detail. Interestingly, it says the Atrix is having a similar issue which could certainly point to the processor.

The rebooting is a software issue. The only time my phone rebooted was when I installed an app (Fring). After I uninstalled it, no issues.

Neither were rooted. Also, rooting in and of itself is incidental; it would not affect the issue as rooting does not change any of the kernel files.

Very interesting. This corresponds to what I experienced, and I think you may be on to something here.

I guess I have been one of the lucky ones. I bought my phone on the 22nd and have never had a reboot or lock up happen. Also my lcd bleeding is pretty minimal. Im still exchanging my phone for a new one because the little black piece of plastic that covers the camera just fell off one day plus I have a dead pixel on the screen that driving me nuts.

It is not the root process. I thought the same thing the first night after I rooted. The phone would not stay on for more than 5 minutes. The store rep did not believe me and tried his sim card and sure enough after five minutes sitting on the counter it turned off and only by pulling the battery was he able to get is re-started. Some of the phones are screwed up. Swap it. My new one is running great except for the battery life.

Oh. Sorry. It just seems that on a lot of threads where people post about problems they are having, you jump in say you don't have any issues and to uninstall something like Fring that works fine on every other phone, so I thought you were trolling.

Although I often manually reboot the phone. I haven't seen one single auto-reboot or freeze, before or after root. So I don't think root is the cause of auto-reboot.
All bloatware are there and running, sometimes I manually close CarHome and TeleNav after reboot, sometimes I forget to do so.
From what I've seen, auto-reboot does look like a hardware problem. To be more specific, those devices are defective.

Just jinxed myself. Right after I replied to this thread I saw first freeze. After pulling battery and putting it back I saw "System Checking..." upon booting, and many force closes after boot was completed.

Just offering what worked for me. If that's not the case then just return your phone. You can keep getting a new one or listen. There's nothing wrong with the phone that a software update probably wouldn't fix.

My 2nd phone has no auto shutdown yet, but I am using new sim card. My ex G2X was using the old sim card.

My week old today G2x, 4/11/11 build, has never rebooted by itself. The only problems I'm having are flaky behavior switching wifi calling on and off automatically and some back light bleed.
As for how one phone reboots and others don't, it could be software or not. In order to really know for sure you would have to be absolutely certain you had the exact same apps installed in the exact same order, be in the same location at the same time and under the same conditions and loads.

That could be the cause, since my previous phone suffered from reboots and I was using the old SIM. I started using the new SIM since day one with this phone and still no reboots..

[Q] Several Issues

Not enjoying my Nexus 5 too much and going back to Nexus 4.
Nexus 5 is set up the exact same way as Nexus 4 but issues.
Bluetooth randomly disconnects.
Phone randomly reboots itself (every couple of hours or so).
HD Widgets on home screen take up to a minute to display on first logon.
None of these issues on Nexus 4.
:crying:
Anyone else getting similar issues?
<edit>
After spending many hours trying to resolve this I have concluded it is a hardware fault.
Main issues were related.
Also HD widget is fine so long as not on default home screen. If it is then it takes while to fully load.
The bluetooth randomly disconnecting (when used with car system) was the device rebooting itself and not a bluetooth issue.
A couple of new issues appeared:
1. Rebooted when I was logged in even after all active apps had been uninstalled (previously it had only rebooted when screen was sleeping).
2. A couple of times now it as shut down completely and refused to start again.
Booting to recovery worked and then booted normally afterwards.
I have factory reset it and still doing the same thing (random reboots mostly when screen is sleeping).
I have found others having the same issues (including one in this forum)
Returning to Google to replace.
</edit>
<edit 2>
Replacement Phone Delivered in less than 30 hours. Thank you Google and Parcel Force.
All apps restored though Titanium Backup and all tested and working well.
Now my Nexus 5 is working properly I am loving it. Fantastic Phone.
</edit 2>

nope, my device is pretty much perfect
HD Widgets not loading quickly is the developer's fault, but the phone's...and if you are getting random reboots, something you've installed is mucking up the system
wait for apps to be 4.4 optimised before complaining about the phone

What???
This is forum and I am writing down my experiences.
I can put down what I want.
And you know it is not the phones fault how? Maybe I have a faulty one?
Now I love nexus and android but fanboy crap like that really annoys me.

When in doubt....factory reset(or clean flash if this is a custom ROM). There are tons of apps on the Play Store that would seem to do no harm but could cause all of these issues.

I dont think that was fanboy crap....seemed like spot on advice....

Fanboy crap or not, the point is valid. If you're having random reboots it is caused by software 99% of the time. Go through the list of apps you've installed and begin uninstalling them one at a time, waiting to see if you're getting reboots in between. Good luck.

Go back to stock with no apps for a day and see if the problem continues. If it does then maybe it's the phone. If not, it was an app. New software always has issues either in itself or working with other apps. Why do people expect it to be perfect?

Yes, thanks, I am aware of how to debug a system be it a PC or a phone.
Blanket statements are no help at all.
I asked if anyone else had similar issues.
Maybe they do and they suspect an app.
I suspected HD widgets but it shut down completely with them disabled.
As sure as you are it is software it could just as likely be hardware.
Seems most likely to do it when it goes to sleep or screen is off.

No need to toss attitude around. If you're aware how to debug, then get it done and tell us what the issue was - you'll probably save someone else who finds this thread from going through the same process.

Seem to be when the screen is off that it reboots.
I have display set to sleep after 10 minutes of activity.
I have set security et to automatically lock after 5 minutes of sleep.
I have it set so the power button does *not* instantly lock.
If I click power button to shut off screen it auto reboots within 3 minutes of doing so.
So it does not appear that it is the sleep process that is causing the reboot.
Going to time this.

Very helpful. Thanks.
Exactly as I was using it.
As an aside, do you have them on the home screen.
If so have you noticed any delay in them appearing when logging in (egg timer)?

I have the clock and weather widget on my homescreen (not lockscreen) and after a reboot it takes a little time to initialize as on my Desire HD before (but much faster now). After turning on the screen, it's just there as it should be. Btw: using Nova Launcher, because I like it and bought it.

You may not like their suggestion but that doesn't make it invalid. If you REALLY want to get to the bottom of whether this is hardware or software do a factory reset and leave it stock for a few hours. Question answered.

I've only had one issue, hangout force closed within 15 mins of the phone being on. Nothing since.

It is not that I do not like the suggestion.
I am prepared for the long haul to find the solution and I will find it.
But Jumping to assumptions that is is the software and stating that is is something I installed that is mucking up the system is of no help.
Then to state I should wait until apps are 4.4 optimised before I complain adds further insult.
This si close to fanboy talk and pisses me off.
I am factual and do not assume anything.
If someone has nothing of value to say then keep it zipped. Simple.

Lag on swiping and anything else...

Good evening, i have a real big problem with ONEPLUS...
It's become very laggy and slowly, and i think there is some problem with the hardware...
I send you a video for give you a evidence of the problem...
Like you can see on the video, the phone is become laggy, i tried even a wipe data from os.
When i wipe data, the phone become real fast and snappy, but after a wile (sometimes it's like 1 day, and another time it's like 3-4 hours) become like the video...
Is as if the phone for all the time become under some heavy load and for that, become laggy...
I don't really know what to do... i want to send the phone to you for repair the problem...
i've unlock and root the phone.

Different rom (cm nightly) different kernel (now i'm on franco, and if i change to normal kernel, it become even more laggy and become so laggy that become difficoult to use).
some time work for a entire day, and sometimes work just for 10-20 secondo before become laggy (after i restart the phone)

no one?

I have the same problems. Especially when I'm typing, it will think two touches are a swipe, or just completely miss a touch. But, whenever I first turn it on it is fine, then after a while it will get bad again. When I flashed the cyanhacker ROM, it seemed like the problem was fixed but after a few reboots it started happening again. Hopefully there is a fix for this.

Yeah I notice this. I thought it was because I wasn't used to typing with such a big screen but I'm beginning to think more and more that it is the phone. I'm typing and it'll miss a letter or something and mess up my text so I will have to go back and fix it.

I experienced similar problems on early versions of cm11s, the 25r and 300 fw, but everything feels alot better of the latest stock 33r.
Have you tried the smooth scrolling fix?

Yes i tried the smoth scrool mod and nothing to do...
i open a ticket with oneplus one but they say there isn't a problem and for them the phone goes well... -_-

Hi Gianmarco ,Hi Gianmarco,
This issue seems to be a known problem we've identified as a software issue, and after strenuous testing and development work, we're confident that the next major software update (due in a couple of weeks) will resolve it. As this affects all devices with certain software setups, I'd like to advise you to wait for the update.
Thank you for your understanding!
- Tom
we will see when the update come out!

I have the same problem. About a week ago, Oneplus sent me a patch - installed new CM ROM and Kernel. The problem is even worse now. More phantom touches and touchscreen issues; more crashes & freezes, and in addition, I'm now having issues with my data antenna and not getting phone calls. This is so frustrating, and to make it worse, the Oneplus customer service team takes 2-3 weeks to reply to any inquiry. I'm hoping someone has a ROM/Kernel combination that fixes this, because the benchmark scores for this phone are amazing. It just doesn't translate to practical use.

Any fix guys? My OPO still suffers from this even on the latest cm12.1 nightlies

If this happens to you also on the latest CM12.1 nightlies, then there are two possibilities:
1. You are not on the latest firmware/kernel
2. Your touchscreen is bad, needs replacement.

Note 5 Memory Management

As many of you know a lot of folks have posted about the RAM management issues on their Galaxy Note 5 devices. The issue is that apps are closed prematurely despite the Note 5 having the most RAM available to any Android device to date. This also seems to effect the Galaxy 6, Galaxy 6 Edge, and Galaxy 6 Edge+ devices. Since Verizon (and AT&T) have locked down their boot loaders there is no way to obtain root and fix the problem. We are left waiting on Samsung for a fix (if it ever comes). This may not seem like a big issue to a lot of folks but I often run several apps in the background (Skype, Exchange client, K-9 Mail, Lync, Life 360, Spotify) and I can't afford having them shut down by an over aggressive RAM management.
How many of you have experienced the issue?
Has anyone been running several apps in the background and not had this issue happen?
Has anyone found a fix that will work with Verizon/AT&T devices with locked boot loaders?
Any word from Samsung as to a fix?
Here are links detailing the issue in case you are not familiar ...

I got my N5 and have my s6 to my son. I have noticed little to no lag on my N5 but it was bad on the s6.

Sorry, not much help. I have noticed it kicking apps out of RAM, but they load so quickly it's not a big deal. Still annoying though given the amount of ram. I run tasker, yaata, and adblock, so I'm wondering if that might be making it worse for me. But again, at least this phone loads apps crazy fast.

I'm using note 5 and it frequently kills my swype keyboard. I frequently have to wait for about 5 seconds for the keyboard to load and have a Google search. You can imagine how frustrating it is

I do have this issue. Lots of people do, some won't admit it tho. Thankfully, waiting for a fix with Android 6.0 from Samsung/Verizon will only be 6ish months after everyone else! Woo

I don't have that issue either but that might have something to do with me being on Sprint and not Verizon.
Not sure how I ended up here, sorry.

Been following for a while. Thought I would contribute. Yes a fix is coming in 6.0 for us from what I keep seeing about the ram management. It sucks.
I run chromecast with YouTube and the issue arises when I try to go use the notification to pause the videos that are autoplaying.... Nothing happens because youtube is closed in the background. I have to reopen youtube and wait for it to load and catch up the I can pause. Happens with chrome as well. I will read something or type something in a form on a page and if left for a little with no attention it will have to reload the page after resuming chrome due to it closing out. The whole point of the window button is to close them when you don't need them anymore.
Can't wait for a fix!

No inside scoop for us. Just what I've been reading shows its been delayed from this month to beginning of this year in Q1.

A lot of Samsung phones are getting it then.

First time posting so I apologize if this is in the wrong place. I've been having the complete opposite problem then the one described in this thread, my phone is actually running out of RAM available and having to re launch my launcher... About once a day I have to restart my phone just to be able to unlock the device because it gets that bad. I've tried searching other forums but none seem to have helped.
I'm currently rooted on a Canadian note 5 running rapture ROM and with the arter97 kernel.
I've included a screenshot of what I'm dealing with right before I need to reboot the device.
Thanks for looking

Your problems are more than likely because of the 'root'.. It shouldn't need to use all 4gb of ram! You probably have that deep sleep issue because you tripped your Knox counter.. However, you might find better help in the Canadian thread instead of the Verizon thread...

OR, the thread you used to gain root access.

MI4C Mobile network signal issue

Hi All.
The MI4C worked like a charm for around 4 - 6 months without any issue. Then I have been playing around with custom roms on my MI4C for some time and I was able to run CM-13.1 successfully. There was no problem at all regarding the mobile network strength and its sustainability. Managed to get it running on CM-13.1 for around 2 weeks and suddenly without any warnings the signal issue came up. The signal shows for some time and goes away and never comes back. It rarely shows bars on the signal. Once signal bars are displayed it quickly goes off any the mobile will always be unreachable for any call or sms. 95% of the time the mobile is unreachable.
These are the things that I have already tried.
- I have already unlocked the phone from MiFlashUnlock
- I also have installed the latest of TWRP as the recovery
- Wiped the device many times in the advance wipe mode on TWRP ticking all the possible ticks.
- I tried buying a new casnig which comes with a new SIM tray just to see if it still works. BTW - There were no physical damage or any sort of thing on the phone at all.
- I also have tried flashing the modem from the same version installed, but still no luck.
- I have tried installing the developer version of MIUI, the stable version, global version, RessurectionRemix, TeamSuperluminal all ROMS shows the same network issue.
I am sure this should be a thing which could be fixed from the software side. because it worked well without any issue before trying cm13.1. Before it had the stable version of MIUI.
This is the current ROM i have on the phone.

Thanks in Advance

Cm 13.1 is known for having mobile signal issues.
I don't understand why going back to miui did not worked. Maybe it is a hardware problem after all.

Yes. I tried with many SIMs

I found this. Maybe you corrupted your imei. There are multiple reason why its not working. You have to investigate each and every one.

sorry for bumping into this thread after so many months, but have you solved your problem? Because I have the exact same issue and I can't figure a solution out, I tried different roms (AICP, LOS, AOSP, then back to Miui) with no effect.
What's even weirder, this issue came from nowhere, one day everything was fine and the following day the signal got so much worse.
My sim works fine in another phone.

No solution found. The phone is still there with the issue without any change. Bought a new phone so gave up finding a solution to it.

The same Problem occured to me a few months ago. The signal was suddenly gone and never came back no matter what rom I tried. I was quite desperate and even changed the antenna cable but that did not help either.
What a shame. I really like the phone but because of this signal problem it's kinda useseless.

same problem with me, and same no solutions....
