I have a SGH-I727R the Canadian variant of the SGH-I727 (the are exactly the same). I installed CM 12.1 Unofficial on it one month and everything is working fine except for 2 things:
1. I can't record any videos, I have another skyrocket and it is running the same ROM and I'm not having this issue with it, so I'm wondering if this is the phone's issue or ROM's issue?
2. The phone restarts throughout the day. When I was in stock the phone restarted 2-3 times a day and I wasn't bothered and when I first flashed CM 12.1 the same thing happened. But today the phone got stuck so I held the power button and restarted it, but then every 2-5 minutes it restarted (it did this 5-7 times) then it stopped after a while when I plugged it into the charger. And when the phone restarts randomly, the boot animation doesn't appear only a black screen and then I have to hold the power button and restart it myself. I'm wondering if I can fix this issue as its starting to bother me?

my sis had her phone with her and it eventually died cause it wasnt charged so she put it on the charger. I went and checked on it and it wasnt turning on, it just kept vibrating every few seconds. I thought it was a battery problem so I took my fully charged battery (we have the same phones) and put it in hers but it still kept vibrating. The night before I had installed a new version of TWRP on hers. Could it be a bad recovery? Im not sure cause even the few times I can get it in download mode, it then turns off and starts doing it again. Everything was working fine,even after the TWRP update until like 20 hours later.
Symptoms:
Constant vibrating.
Samsung Logo at times.
Was able to start into recovery but it cut off again.
Was able to go into download mode but it cut off again.
Any help? Main thing I want to know is that, could there be a chance its cause TWRP is broken?
Sticky or stuck power button most likely.

my nexus 5 d820 16 gigs would randomly shutdown for no reason, it wouldn't turn on without plugging it in. i was rooted and running cm11, then i tried carbon ROM, then c-ROM. c-ROM started to give me problems so i factory reset and switched to carbon but the problems remained. then i unrooted, thinking that root was the problem but no signs of improvement, so i re-locked the bootloader but still the problem remained. it would sometimes also shut down if i unplug it and would always forget my WiFi connection for some reason. help me please. thanks in advance.
Well sounds like a hardware problem since you already unroofed and relocked boot loader I would say call lg and get a warranty replacement

Sorry to bring this post back after a long time.
I had a similar but not exactly the same problem.
2 nights ago I left the phone on the table, and a few minutes later, when I picked it up, it was off (It had about 60% battery left when I put it down).
Then it would not wake up; I kept the power button pressed for like 20 seconds to force a shutdown, and then tried to power up with no luck, so I'm thinking I'm screwed.
I tried again and it powered up to a graphical noise screen as seen in the attached image, but then it showed the boot animation and came back to life.
This morning it shut off by itself while listening to music (Google play), but powered back on right away...
Rooted 4.4.4, stock ROM, Xposed with Greenify, Amplify and wakelock detector (all latest versions). But no changes for a couple weeks before this started happening.
No specific app running (at least in the foreground).
Any one knows where I can find any kind of log or trace about this, if any at all?
Has anyone experienced this as well?
Thanks
Okay, so, I know I am not the only one with this issue. At the same time I know not ALOT of people have this issue. Lets get right down to it, I bought a Note I717 from someone who claimed that it was stuck in a bootloop. Well, I turned it one when I got home after doing a factory restore and it came on and stayed on. I thought I had fixed it until the battery died.
Symptoms:
Boots up fine
Stays on for around 2 minutes
Freeze then Reboot
Happens every time. I have tried to restore stock firmware, have tried custom roms. Have rooted it, unrooted it. Battery holds a charge and is perfectly fine. Power button is NOT stuck.
There have been 2 times I have got it to come on and stay on for like 12 hrs then it will freeze and cut off, then start the rebooting sequence all over again. Anybody think they can help me out?

whn i had a similar issue, the answer turned out to be that i was overclocking. if you are overclocking/undervolting it can cause random reboots.
Hey guys
My device is GS6, few days ago received OTA update. Updated phone like usual and all went fine. Few days later started noticing that device randomly restarting. Today it happened 4 or 5 times so far, mainly when I want to unlock screen, after swipe everything freezes and device restarts.
Also when I left phone on charge, come back to it, unplugged charger and phone is dead, won't start won't respond to anything. After pressing volume key power and home button, I managed to restart it.
What is happening to my phone. Really don't want hard reset it as all settings etc will be gone.

Try a factory reset, maybe same app is the problem.
Done full reset and its much worse now. It woudnt boot correctly after reset, phone started up but during set up process froze and restarted a lot of times. Looks like hardware, but strange it happened straight after ota update
Came home from work yesterday and the Pure XL was dead, said it needed to be charged. Never happened before but I figured whatever and plugged it in and went to sleep. Woke up this morning and powered on the phone and the all white BLU splash screen came up and then the phone went off. Came on again and the all white BLU splash screen came up and went off. Ive tried holding down the power button for over a minute. Tried holding the power button and volume keys to boot into recovery from 10 seconds to 2 minutes, nothing stops it! It just keeps rebooting. This has been my apprehension towards purchasing phones with non removable batteries. The boot recycle happens about every 15 seconds and the phone vibrates everytime it boots up for the past 2 hours. Its getting very annoying and there is no way to make it stop. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Plug it into your computer (you'll notice that there will be a longer black screen in-between the bootloops) and hold down the power button for at least 10 seconds or more, then release it after the next vibration and the white BLU screen shows up. It might take a couple of tries.
If you manage to boot into at least recovery but can't boot into the system, then try clearing your cache/dalvik cache and try rebooting into system again.
If all of the above doesn't work for you, then your boot.img/system has gone bad, and you'll have to flash the stock images with SP Flash Tool (both of which can be found on other posts on this forum).
follow the instructions on the SP flash tool thread... sounds like what happened to me after bad flash... theres a lot of information in that thread that will set you up...
Thanks for the quick replies guys. The PC trick didnt work at all. I just called BLU and asked for a replacement(havent heard back from them ironically). I put the phone in the basement so I wouldnt have to deal with that incessant buzzing every 15 seconds. Eventually the battery died. Since I had it powered off finally, I plugged it in for about 10 minutes to give it enough of a charge to power on but not stay on to buzz for another 2 hours. This time I powered it on using the master reset button combo and was finally able to wipe the cache and restart the phone. Took a good 4 or 5 minutes to boot after that, but everything has been fine since. Really dont know what initially caused the issue, never happened before. Good thing too, cause BLU told me that they would send me a RMA within the hour and I still havent heard from them. Think this will be my last BLU phone. Thanks for the assist.
My phone Is stocked without root or Twrp. And I find my self having a bootloop once a month for an odd reason. This forces me to take bat out and put it back in or just let it loop til battery dies

My phone is basically out of the box and I'm getting boot loop problems when I first boot. This happens like once a month
Sent from my PURE XL using XDA-Developers mobile app
This happened to me for first time yesterday. Bought the phone earlier this year and everything worked fine. I restarted the phone because my sound recorder app froze up twice on open and the infinite boot started until the battery died. Tried the {power}{vol up} thing, didn't work to stop it, so I put it in my car and went back to the conference I was attending. Battery was dead when I got out. Contacted BLU by phone and they started a ticket for me, but I figured I'd see if other people were having this issue and learn what they did because I'd rather not be out of a phone for however long it takes for BLU to replace mine. Stumbled on this page. I never rooted my phone. And BLU only sent one wireless update since I've had the phone. I'm trying to get into the menu by connecting to the computer. Worked the first time, I cleared cache, and tried to backup my files, but I'd taken out the SD card in expectation of sending it to BLU. So, Powered off the phone, put the card back in, and now I haven't been able to get the menu back. Still working on it, if there are any suggestions anyone drops on me before Tuesday when I'll likely ship it (or at least hope to because I'll be yelling at them Monday), I'd appreciate it.

I tried to flash the phone, but the bootloop apparently wouldn't allow that. I had 0.0% progress after 3 hours. I then tried to go back into the menu you get from {Power}{Vol UP}: still no go. So, I started to take the phone apart again to get ready for shipping. The battery was still low so it didn't take long for it to die after I unplugged it from the computer. Out of curiosity, I tried to repeat finding the menu like I did earlier that day (conditions were that the phone had no charge when I connected it to the computer, and my SD card was removed.) No go. But, then I hit {Power}{Vol Up}{Vol Down} just to see what happened, and boom. My phone loaded up. No loop... Figured somehow the files had copied and the status bar was wrong. Turned the phone off, put my SD card back in and turned the phone on. Loop reappears ...I waited for the phone to die again, took out the SD, attempted to turn it on and the loop was there. Connected it to the computer and hit all 3 buttons, and the phone loads up. So, now I'm confused. Is there any way that the problem is some crappy connection to the SD?
