Could be the reason of a borked update. I suggest to update to the latest 5.1.1 or perform a factory reset.

yeah, 5.0.2 was better, i am regretting updating my phone...but the ram is better on 5.1.1.....

Me too! There's a big scrolling problem with 5.1! It's like the phone doesn't know at what speed it should scroll.

i am noticing another bug, when someone is calling me, i drag the green circle to the right, it shows the in call screen but you cannot do anything and the call haven't been answered, then 2 seconds later it returns to the screen when someone calling you again....you have to do this 3 times to answer correctly....

[Q] Freez Device After ICS update

hi guys
last week i update my P.6200 to Malaysia ICS rom with mobile ODIN
now sometimes my device freez & i have to hold the power botton to reset it
can anyone help me
Is there any way to root Android 4 P.6200
thanks
My wife's tab did the same thing after the update. Mine never had the problem. After trying a few different settings things, we decided just to get a replacement tab (still within 30 days of purchasing it). The replacement doesn't have the problem. Some suggested a hard reset - maybe try that as a first resort? If that doesn't work, you may need to get a replacement tab (if still under warranty).

I've had the same problem. Thought it may have been related to me bringing my Tab back from the dead (Brick-bug) but doesn't seem to be.
Everything is perfect on any honeycomb firmware but as soon as I upgrade to any recent ICS I get random freezes. Have tried the latest Russian, Malaysian and Thailand firmware and they all freeze.
Have found the original Austrian 4.0.4 release is fine though. No freezes and pretty smooth, so am sticking with that. There may be more recent builds that may be smoother and better battery but they all seem to freeze.
Give the Austrian a try and see how you go :good:

[Q] Random frequent reboots after 5.0.1.

Hey everyone.
So, this started happening to my Nexus (stock, unrooted, locked) after the 5.0.1 OTA update: youtube.com/watch?v=BolnMQx3LGs
It started in the first days of January, after receiving the 5.0.1. update. The phone randomly restarts and gets in a boot loop. For the last month it happened once or twice every week, often making the phone useless for several hours. I posted on the Nexus help forums, noticed a lot of people with the same problem as me, but no solutions.
Today I had enough and sideloaded Kitkat again. So far so good, but I don't want to celebrate just yet.
Has this happened to anyone here. Is there a reason for this to be happening or a solution?
I wish I had the answer. My wifes' stock rooted N5 did this 2 weeks ago and I could not keep it booted into recovery long enough to flash any images. I bought myself an N6 then I wiped my CM11 N5 and loaded stock 5.0.1. for her and put in her sim. She was fine for the last two weeks. Now today she says it is doing it to this phone. The first phones' issue looked exactly like your youtube video. Not your standard bootloop. Wiping cache and dalvik did not fix. A couple other threads mention they suspect kernel. Assuming I can get it to stay on the bootloader I will probably flash elementalX and see if that solves it.

Random Reboot on Lollipop 5.1

Hi, I've got some random reboots after upgrading on stock Lollipop 5.1 on my Nexus 5.
I've used Android 5.0.1 without any reboots or problem, but after upgrading on 5.1 I'm facing many random reboots when I switch from an app (like a game or Hangouts) using Recents or Home button from NavBar (it also happens randomly when I'm using my phone, like writing a message on Hangouts).
The reboots I'm talking about are not "soft" but "hard", because bootloader's logo (Google) appears and restarts my phone, so it is caused by Kernel Panic (as you'll see in my last_kmsg) and they occured on both stock and custom rom.
Here is a "last_kmsg" when it occured on stock Lollipop 5.1: http://pastebin.com/80dDgzae (attached too).

Flashed Android 5.0.1 and no random reboots (as I also said when i wrote my first post).
I don't know if the "question" is clear, but can you help me reading the "last_kmsg" which I attached in first post? Thanks
Same exact thing happening to me also.

The same is happening to me. And it looks like a hardware problem cuz when the phone reboots it keeping reboot until I keep pressing the power button while boots.
I have a bad experience about it. In my Nexus S when updates to Jelly Bean the same occurs until phone suddenly die. (I live in Brazil so, guess what? I have now a wonderful paper weight)
No luck with 5.1.1
You guys found any fix?
I was waiting for 5.1.1 update from Google (5.1.1 code is already available on AOSP and I tested it on Chroma), but unfortunately it didn't solve this problem: it keeps rebooting after a long daytime doing the same things I already wrote in first post. I'll wait for factory Google factory images, but I'm pretty sure it won't fix this.
P.S.: I tested Chroma on 5.0.2 bootloader and modem.
Anyone can read "last_kmg" I posted in first post? Any other has the same trouble?

Try another (custom) kernel.

I just flashed ElementalX kernel but no luck, random reboot happened on 5.1.1 too. By the way it was quite obvious because it happened already on 5.1 Google's factory image (stock kernel so)..
I have exactly the same issue with nexus 5 since upgrading to 5.1.0.
I went back to 5.0.1, which solved it for a few days, but now this happens with 5.0.1 as well.
also, before random reboots happen, the power button becomes extra sensitive, so one keypress causes the screen to turn on and off again, or to display the shutdown menu.
this does not happen when the phone is stable.
Hey guys i have the exactly same problem since i upgraded to 5.1.1 i am non-rooted please need help

Same here.
LG Nexus 5 - Lollipop 5.1.1 LMY48B
Unlocked bootloader;
Rooted;
ClockWorkmod 6.0.4.5 (not flashed - just boot on image when used);
Wipe factory reset (in cwm). Flashed 5.1.1 image files (boot, radio, bootloader, system and cache).
Random reboots, and sometimes with apps optimizing.
I have the same problem with N5 since upgrading to 5.1.1 - never had any problems before. Doing it several times an hour now. Trying a cache clean next, after I wait for the optimising apps to finish yet again!
Hi all,
I had the same problem. Everything stock, up to datÄ™, no root. Phone was rebooting itself several times in a row.
Right now it seems that problem dissapeared. Reboots in my case was caused probably by application Autoguard Dash Cam Blackbox. After removal no reboots for 2 months and no memory leak.
cleared cache and it happened again within a minute...
Does seem to be linked to the power button
There's a long thread about this issue over at Google Groups. It's affecting a lot of users and not just Nexus 5 users. Some in the thread are 4 and 7 users having the same issue. Some have replaced the battery and it has resolved the issue, at least temporarily. Others, like myself, saw success in rooting and replacing the kernel or using a new ROM. Users who have downgraded to Kit Kat report the issue goes away, so despite the power button triggers, it seems to be a software issue. Anyone have any insight? It's getting feisty in Groups thread.

I have N5 kit kat 4.4.2 in Chrome watching videos randoms reboot its happens
This is happening to my fiance's N5. It happens when she's using it and also when it's not being used. When it reboots, it optimizes the apps and says the battery is at 0 when it was a full charge. Only way to turn it back on is to connect it to a charger. Frustrating.
FYI the update to 6.0 did not solve the restart problem. It's either hardware related, app related or a bug that's still in the OS.
I'm selling my Nexus because of this, has been happening for a few months now.
It's not software related, it has to do with the actual power button. Some people had success changing it out, soldering it etc., but I don't have that time or knowledge.
Google wouldn't help, as I'm out of warranty. So I guess it's goodbye Nexus. Really unfortunate given that the phone works fine, it's just a quality issue.. will have to re-evaluate buying another Nexus in the future.

SM-G920F freezes and constant reboots out of the blue

Hi all, first post here, as a brief introduction... I have bought a Samsung Galaxy S6 a couple of weeks ago and recently it has been a constant pain in the.... mind :angel:
Currently I have G920FXXU2BOFJ Baseband and it constantly crashes, even without doing anything. The crashes/reboots are completely random and very annoying. I have tried to update the firmware to a latest version from France (which had some updates for Android 5.1.1, file name G920FXXU2BOG8_G920FOXA2BOG8_XEF) but the problem persists.
Trying to revert the firmware to the original I made a mess so I'm currently using Smart Switch as I write to recover the phone from the dead. Any ideas on how to solve these freezing issues? Anyone else having them? I thought it was a hardware problem, but I can leave the phone in Download Mode for as long as I want without issues (not very useful as a smartphone that way though ) However, even in the Wipe Data/Cache mode it still freezes.
Thanks!

How to cancel an OTA update that has started to download?

Hello,
I have a Galaxy S6 running the latest 6.0.1 XEF stock ROM (no root) before Nougat.
I have choosen not to update to Nougat for the moment as I prefer to wait for better Nougat releases.
I was quite sure the settings of my S6 were set in order to disable search/install of updates. But yesterday, while connected to my network using Wifi, my S6 has started to download the Nougat updates! But, as I said, I don't want it for the moment. I stopped Wifi, then it stopped downloading the updates. I tried to go to the update settings of the S6 to disable updates but it is not possible now to go the "About device > Software update". And each time I connect to WIFI, it resumes the download of the update .
In the application manager, I found 2 apps related to "Software update": for only 1 of them it is possible to stop it and remove cache and data, which I did. I thought I would have cancelled the download of Nougat update and bring me back the possibility to disable update. But unfortunately, it has no effect. I also tried to wipe cache partition, but the same: it has no effect and each time I connect Wifi, it resumes the download of the update.
So, how I can cancel the download of the update and be able to access to the settings to prevent from downloading/installing it??
Thank you for you help!
There's no need, Nougat is stable now.
If you still doesn't want, let it download the update (because you can't cancel it) then block notifications from both updates apps from the settings.

Really? Latest release for XEF has still the same changelist and I read several complains regarding battery life and lags into the Gallery app for example...

I had very bad battery life on Nougat, i was on UAE firmware. When i bought this second S6 i made a decision to stop using custom roms so i tried to flash another firmware, took the last XEF ( from April) and flashed it 2 weeks ago, my battery improved a lot specially in standby , no issues or whatsoever.
Thanks for your feedback!
phone is full, now what?
Sorry to hijack this thread, but it seems the best fit.
Basically the same question as above: "How do I cancel an OS update download in progress" on my Samsung S6
Reasoning is a little different though. Accidentally I started the update process but during the download my phone ran full.
And as you might know, with a full phone some apps dont work.
Of course Android gives me the option to remove files and apps but immediately the free space is occupied by the running update....
Any ideas?
tia!
