updated mine to dpj1, reboots still exist... really not funny at all.

Anyone know I was of downgrading to kitkat without voiding the warranty?

I wiped and reimaged and still have freezing and soft boots.

I got the November 1st security patch, does this fix all the reboots?

I don't know what reboots you guys are talking about. Haven't experienced this on my note edge. Whenever it does happen it's because of a custom kernel

I don't have a custom kernel and it still happens. The ony thing that gets rod of it is having no screen security. It probably still reboots on its own without you just don't get prompted because the phone doesn't ask to put your password in. Some have said that if you give it to Samsung they will fix it? Can anyone confirm?

I get these soft reboots constantly... almost every time I lock the screen?
Genuinely flummoxed that no one has come up with a fix yet. ..

EDIT: I can confirm, there are no reboots, no password requests, and after some weeks now not even more battery drain , seems that this new firmware solved the problems.
So, finally I got rid of the random reboots and the lockscreen-problems.
I updated to the most recent version of MM 6.0.1 (see attached screenshot), and did it as follows:
first I made a backup of all my user files. I deleted all stored fingerprints, and disabled all lockscreens.
Then I updated via Samsung Kies (first time ever, did NOT use the OTA)
after finishing the update I booted into recovery and made a factory reset twice!
After reboot and initial setup I enabled fingerprint lockscreen and registered my fingerprints, then reinstalled all apps from app store, done.
After two weeks not a single reboot, no crash, fingerprint works flawless!
Finally !

have the same issue a bit lower on my screen(broken digitizer) and it can be fixed only with a new display
Screen Tile Not respondig
Having the same issue here, as described above , but it only happened like 2 weeks ago tops , like when i updated to latest Kitkat (slimKat stable 3 back then )...
Is this definitely a hardware issue or some broken code?
Been reinstalling some kitkat here, but the problem persists,...
I thought the problem was the firmware because of some post i spotted pointing at slimkat or something...
Did any of you get this problem AFTER installing slimkat or even latest TWRP (2.7.0.0) ? (i updated both kind of the same time)
I had that problem on 4.1/2/3 roms. Disappeared on kitkat, fyi.

My phone was bricked because of a design flaw somewhere in the exynos chip. Samsung wants me to pay $200 for board replacement.

LMY48M problem memory again
This memory problem had been solved by Google in the previous update, but after that last update LMY48M the problem happen again, I'm waiting for a new fix Google.
Me too. After updated to LMY48M, it seems that memory leak problem is back. I have a nexus 6 updated too but it doesn't seen to have this problem.

Ive the same issue since I upgraded the phone. I dont understand how can happen this again. Until android 6.0 we will have the issue, I dont think google fix the problem.
Yup, here's another confirmation of this issue, from my side.

Was waiting for a few days of use before replying. This made quite a difference, but there were a couple times where a restart was needed - I don't know if it was from the same issue though. It's better now, anyway... no longer restarting 2-3 times a day.

Yeah, a simple restart seem to do the trick for a day for me. Still have to restart once a day or every second day.
Sorry for irrelevant post I really need help about how to root N5 on this latest build LMY48M.I have tried all one click root apps but no luck plz help

Have you tried flashing supersu zip in recovery?
Had to restart twice today. At least M is around the corner... hopefully this is fixed.

Hi, this thing is trying to kill me for a long time since my Z3 was on 5.1.1.
Ok, in short.
I had this on 5.1.1 (any)
No problem at all on 6.0 (.570/.151)
The problem is back on N Preview (2/3) absolutely vanilla. No root or ad-blocker.
I have to restart my phone every time this happens. Clearing cache will not help at all. It has been said somewhere that this problem is not related to the rom. (Yeah, but I don't think so.)
So, whoever have this problem and fixed can help me out? Or is it the known problem which cannot be fixed?
Thanks in advance.

I assume that you unlocked your bootloader, right?
Same for me. On a locked bootloader and Android N preview 3.. But I do have to say that the problem occured after unlocking my bootloader..
Still, it is locked now, I have my DRM keys restored and it still gives me issues
I might know what's going on. It could be related to some DRM functions when unlocking bootloader. As far as I know downgrading to KK or upgrading to official MM fixes it. Othen then that ROM's like LP, N and MM concept has this problem. I think sony fixed this in official MM. Anyway for Lollipop and Concept you can try to use this fix, but you need root http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64763489&postcount=4
It helped for me and it should help for you.

Well, this might be the cause. The weird thing is the problem was gone with MM. I'm confused now lol
Btw. I'm on locked right now but I had unlocked the bootloader before.

Thank you so much. I'm on MM right now but if I can get root access on N, I will try and inform you back.
Edit: I completely forgot about that android N rooting thread. It has cool stuff right now so I'm going to unlock and try it right away.
Edit2: That method failed for me so I will try it later when I have time.
I got this problem too on android n preview 3, locked bootloader and not rooted. I noticed that whenever it happens, video recording fails as well, which might help resolve the issue. rebooting takes care of it momentarily though.

TA-1003 got Oreo update!!

The long waiting update is here.

Boy do I feel stupid going through all the hassle to "softtware convert" it to a TA-1025 to get Oreo Beta a while back.
I bought into the rumors about not getting Oreo too hard.
Is this via an OTA? Have you done anything to the phone or is it just like you've taken it out of the box? I haven't received the update yet. Also what country are you in? I'm in Australia. Hopefully I get the update, even though nokia tech said I wouldnt out of the region

It's via OTA. I'm in Taiwan and I haven't done anything to my phone yet. I did read on other forum that some people haven't received yet, maybe it just need a few days to receive.

Wrong thread for my original post, sorry.
Yep I just checked and Android Oreo OTA is here! Woohooo
TA1000 got it too via OTA. Working fine, feels snappier. But the app to add more languages crashes (locale more pro) so I'm stuck with English for now which is not a big deal though.

Try to clean data for this app (locale more pro) in apps admin. The best is to make a hard reset after the phone have been updated to Oreo.
I think the official Android 8.0 ota update killed my recovery. There simply just is a broken robot saying "no command" where the recovery used to be. GD Nokia bs phone.

Note edge being weird.

Hiya peeps. Id just like to ask you experts with a little help.
For the past week my phone suddenly started locking up and freezing and rebooting itself and ive had its for like 2 years. ok its always suffered from a little lag when like typing but i got used to it. I recently wiped its cache but nothing has changed. Its always had issues with the battery with random shut offs at from anything from 30% to even 50+% ive replaced the battery before and i guess its time to replace again.
Main question is my phone just literally just restarted itself now and has come to this screen which i will upload a photo.
I cant remember installing a custom rom since buying it. i did buy it 2nd hand though.
But what does this mean in the photo?.
last night i downloaded marshmallow 6.0.1 firmware because i wanted to see if re firmwaring my phone might later this evening will help in the mean time while i will buy a new battery.
.its been stuck on this screen for like 20 mins already and im scared to turn my phone off

Ok after like 40 mins i did take the risk of taking out the battery as i'd assume my phone wouldn't be doing anything in its state. It rebooted again but still suffering from the issues i mentioned previously.
Im guessing this wouldnt be the last time this will happen and probably will see this screen again in future.
I own a Galaxy Note edge. Unlocked, Bought in england
