Hey peeps had a really strange issue this morning ???? I went out last night on the town and came home rather intoxicated. Went to bed and forgot to put my phone on charge. At 6am I woke up phone was on 13% put my phone on charge and the screen wasn't responding.
So I forced shutdown and when it started up I couldn't unlock my phone because my keyboard wasn't appearing.
Forced shutdown again put on charge again and went back to sleep.
When I woke up an hour later late for work I took my phone and unlocked it and all my home was messed up. All folders are left most apps are spread out over 5 pages Google account had logged out. My messages didn't show my Google picture showed my 1st initial.
I have the latest marshmallow and I'm wondering if anyone else knows why this may have happened?
Thank you
My money's on 6 a.m. drunken "troubleshooting"
I suppose that is a possibility that's why I added that in lol I really can't see it though as that would have been a lot of work to do in that state ? that's why I'm looking for another possible reason

So I've been on a cruise for the past week and my phone has been in airplane mode for the week so I wouldn't get texts or calls. All was fine until last night. Last night I set down my phone on the table and started packing and getting ready for bed. I came back to check the time, the phone was very warm and the phone was dead. Okay, so I plug it in for the night and see if tht does anything. Nothing. Just warm again. SO I unplug the battery for a few hours and STILL, nothing. I'm from Dallas and now I'm in Tamps but in an hour I'm going to a nearby verizon store. Anybody know what's going on? When I plug it in the LED does not turn on.
I have not rooted this phone...

If you haven't rooted or anything just take it to Verizon. Assuming you haven't messed with it, it's probably faulty hardware and thus covered by warranty.
Tried pulling the battery? That don't work, get it replaced at the Verizon store.

Phone over heated. Happened to me. Check the edges of your phone (silver casing) is their any slits in it.
meh just got a new one.
Yeah mate don't worry about that just take it back to the store or you can just call Samsung and book it in for repair.You have a two year warranty on it still and seeing that you haven't rooted the phone there's really no need to worry. Samsung take 5 -10 working days and your phone will be as good as new. Trus me I've send even my friends phone back to Samsung and they fixed it free of charge

Hello friends. Having lots of issues with my tablet.
A while ago i noticed that my tablet was running a bit sluggish, and the brightness of the screen was flickering when on auto-brightness. I didn't think anything of it, but the next morning when I unplugged it after it was charging all night, it was at 30% after a few minutes. Every time I plugged it in it would say "charged", but a few seconds after I unplugged it it would go back to 30%. It's gotten to the point where I can't use it because it won't turn on. It's plugged in, but I press the power button and the screen lights up for a half second and then dies (i'm assuming).
I've tried other cables, etc, anyone have any ideas? I haven't been able to use my tablet the past 2 days because of this.
Sounds like it's time to RMA...

Was afraid of this...Kinda was hoping it would be a software issue
Think they'll care if I rooted it?
Rooting it would not cause this and I'd get in to a massive argument with anyone that claimed otherwise.

Mine also was having the same issue. I searched high and low for a fix and finally came across a thread here on XDA that suggested deleting a corrupted jpg image that is created by the default camera 'Camera Awesome'. The corrupt jpg image sends the media scanner into an endless loop that taxes the CPU nonstop. The folder location is Android/data/com.smugmug.android.cameraawesome. I would delete any subfolders also. Hope this does the trick for you. Another tip is to stop the Blake_wakelock wakelock created by the Shield Wireless Controller which drains your Wi-Fi continually. Download the 'Disable Service' app from the google play store and once it is installed scroll over to the system apps and long click the 'SHIELD Wireless Controller Service'. From there you can disable the 'BlakeManagerService'. You can always turn it back on if and when you need to use it but that will stop your wakelocks for now. Hope everything works out for you. I was having the same trouble as you but was determined to figure it out as I did not want to send mine back cause it is my first tablet and has a lot of potential. Let me know how it goes.
Thanks for the suggestion, but the problem is I can't get it to turn on at all. Oh well, my replacement has already shipped and gets here Monday
Mine as well
Mine was working fine for 4 days. Set it down then went to power on to read book and nothing. I take it I have no recourse but to call Newegg and RMA?
Hello people, first off lemme say I'm not necessarily new to this forum, I for sure have used it a hell of a lot in the past and I know roughly what goes on around here, I've recently created my account in order for me to actually be able to be able to plead for the amazing help the XDA is known for.
Anyway, long story short, I don't know what the hell happened, but allow me to start from the beginning. I went on a camping weekend with my OPO, phone worked flawlessly all weekend and lasted the whole time, everything was fab, went back to a mates house and asked if I could borrow his phone charger (He has a Lumia 625 incase anyone was wondering), we then went out shooting and I left the phone there for a few hours to charge. Came back to it and it was fully charged, but had turned itself off? Because it was on the power off charge screen when I came back to it, and was on lock when I left it, nobody touched it in that time. I took it off charge, powered the phone up and it must of boot looped about 3 times? Eventually it got into CM but there was no lockscreen, went straight to the homescreen. This is where it went nasty, the capacitive keys outright weren't responding, the device wasn't slow as such, nor was the CPU running hot or doing anything intensive (I have CPU load display enabled), but the date was set to Jan 1970, and the phone couldn't pull a signal at all. WiFi outright wouldn't switch on either. So I tried rebooting it a few times, to no prevail. For some reason, I accidentally tapped Bluetooth in the quick settings panel, the phone crashed and rebooted, and wouldn't stay on for more then 3 seconds? Before crashing and rebooting. I've since gone into recovery and tried a factory reset, cleared cache and media too, but to no luck. Phone still doesn't stay on for more than about 3 seconds once it actually gets into CM (The welcome to CM screen, it crashes 3 sec immediately after boot).
I have no idea what I'm supposed to do, can anyone try shed some light on this? Much help would be appreciated and I sincerely APOLOGISE for the wall of text. Many thanks.
^Dat wall of text doe (sorry about that)

I am having the same issue since last night. Put my phone to charge and when I picked it up it stayed on for about a minute unable to connect to Wifi or cellular signal. Then it went to a crazy boot loop. Wiped cache, media and at the end data. Now it boots and it stays on for a few seconds and reboots. I will try the solution when I get home tonight but I was just curious if it worked for you.
Hi, i have an s6 (non edge), i do have it insured so not sure if i would be best trying to get it swapped or see how it goes?
I have had no problems up to now, been using it most of the day fine, the last time i looked at my phone was probaby about 30 mins before this happened and it had about 75% battery.
before i took my phone out my pocket and it was completely off, i kept pushing the power button in and getting no response at all, i plugged the phone into the mains and nothing happened, no charge light etc..
So i just left it connected to the mains with nothing happening for about 15 mins, then out the blue i pressed the power button in again and it come on, at it was starting i noticed it said android is updating an app (as it does when you have just installed a new fw) but this was only for 1 app by the looks, i hadn't installed anything new i can think of, not sure if thats related or not important?
Anyway my phone seems ok at the moment but now im not sure if i should just take it back the shop and get it changed seems i have it insured anyway, the phone is around 3 months old now.
Sorry, i am just editing this, i have just remembered one main point which i forgot i done earlier when reading that it can help your phone, i did go into dev options and i changed the 'limit background processes to 4' as i read this can help it, not sure if this was a bad idea?
Any advice?
Thanks

Possibly a defective battery.
Yesterday, 10 minutes before a major interview, my rog phone 5S locked up while reading a PDF. It froze for 5 min before rebooting itself. It responded to no input from me at all, not even attempts to get to the bootloader. When it started back up, nothing worked without crashing. I powered it off and switched to my old Pixel 4 XL to do the interview, which worked out fine. I then went back to my 5S and tried to get it working. At first it was fine and I could make and receive calls, but I could only receive texts. I couldn't send them. I left it be for a while longer and then it started rebooting on its own at random. At some point in this, texting started working again and it was fine for a few hours till I went to sleep. However, during the night it started rebooting at random, constantly waking me up. I turned it off, but that didn't stop it. It would turn itself on and reboot. I got next to no sleep till I buried it in my dresser and clothes. I did a reset last night, before going to bed, and I thought that had fixed it, but clearly it didn't do anything except cause me a **** load of unnecessary work.
I went to file for an RMA just now. I provided the serial and ASUS said they won't honor it because it's an international model and has to be returned to the country it was bought in. I have no idea where it's from. I assume China and I can't read Chinese to do any of that, much less know where I'd even go to start that process. It's an expensive phone and I'm without a job right now. I don't know what to do.
I've had nothing but problems with this damned phone since day 1 and I'm sick of it. It's awful. The ROG Phone 3, which I also have, is only slightly less problematic. At least it never did this. I only have it for the gaming controller at this point and I'm gonna get a new phone once a phone comes out with the new Immortalis GPU.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I want to pot on the ROG Phone 5 subreddit, but they are restricted and IDK how long it'll take to get approved. The last restricted subreddit I applied to took 5 months.
