Hi everyone, few days ago i got some problems with my phone.
When i am doing smth, for example chatting in whatsapp(it can be any app, even the menu) , the screen may freeze from 5 to 20 sec. After it, the device may become locked or not. Also, after it, device may reboot. Or just shutdown.
I already tried :
1 wipes (full via phone menu and recovery)
2 formatting flash via custom recovery
3 flashing 5.1 via odin
4 emergency restore via Smart Switch
But the problem is still here.
Is this a hardware problem, or should i try smth else?
Thanx for advice
I'm starting to wonder about hardware issues myself.
I'm getting the feeling that Samsung wound the processor too tight on these phones.
Once I get rooted again,I'm planning a proc' downclock to 2.3/2.4 Ghz.
I'm not totally sure,but if these proc's control the RAM directly,that might help with stabilty issues.
Just to confirm; you did a factory restore and also flashed the stock 5.1.1 for your model and region with Odin 3.10.7?

yes, exactly. Not sure with odin version, but everything was fine.
Yesterday also tried River rom with Mickey Kernel. First few hours phone worked normally, but was a little bit slow (it is normal for this kernel). But then the problem returned, i got some (2 or 3 ) reboots and lots of freezes.
weird. I started gettig these issues a couple of weeks ago too. Did as you did, Odin, Smart Switch, TWRP. Nothing. On RiverRom it seems to be more stable than on the official Rom. Which is crazy. Searched through all the logs, only idea i got left is keeping in under android logcat on my computer until it crashes.
Also phone won't restart if I want to do that. Not from menu, not from TWRP. It will just not do it. It shuts down and no matter how much I press the power button.... nothing. Hve to take out the battery, wait 30 seconds, plug it back in, and it will start.
Any advices on what logs should be looking at would be much appreciated.

I just tried to restart my, it booted normally.
Maybe its overheating or smth like this? It will be difficult to demonstrate this problem in service centre
honestly i don't think it's overheating. For me the behavior is a bit weirder, as said, as the phone won't restart, unless removing the battery and waiting for a minute or two before plugging it back in. Every. Single. Time. Not even rebooting from recovery.
I use now riverrom with the emotion kernel (they launched this year a new version of the kernel) and it seems to be better. Weirdly enough, the system gets slower when i turn on GPS (although i have next to nothing appls installed), and the apps that say they stopped responding are the boring ones. System UI, Google Play, etc. Also downloading the kernel auditor from the guys at emotion and enabling logcat seems to help too.
An error i seem to get constantly now is google play services error.
Bluetooth also seems to be an issue, i also have a android watch and it gets kinda weird behavior.
I've got an odd problem with my p900. If I install any lollipop ASOP ROMs, the first time I reboot after initial install, the display mostly stops working. The first boot works fine, I go through the setup wizard, set everything up, and the tablet works and displays fine as long as I don't reboot.
Specifically, what will happen if I reboot is that the tablet will go through the normal boot, and get to the point when the wallpaper and status bar will come up, but no homescreen icons or anything. Then after a while, about 2-5 minutes, the display will go black except for the status bar. I can pull down the notifications drawer from the status bar, and it will display, as will the quick settings, but anything I tap to try to interact with will seemingly just do nothing. If I have 'show touches' on, then touches will display properly, anywhere on the screen, but they seem to do nothing. I've tried trebuchet, google now, and adwex, the home app doesn't seem to make a difference.
The problem first began in I want to say october, when I flashed a CM12 nightly update. I unfortunately no longer remember which nightly I was on nor which I flashed to. I of course immedately tried to flash back to the previous nightly when I discovered the problem, but it did no good. It took me a while to figure out the pattern to the problem after it first occurred, as I often don't reboot the device for a long while after a first install. I don't have a lot of spare time to devote to sitting down and just focusing on trying different things, so it wasn't until president's day weekend that I tried what I *thought* would fix it, ODINing back to stock and installing the latest CM12.1. Clearly that didn't work, or I wouldn't be posting.
I've tried the 20151104, 1029, 1006, and 0910 CM12.1s from http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...nt/rom-cyanogenmod-12-lollipop-5-0-1-t2971945. I've also tried Civz lollipop, pacman, and resurection remix. Anything not stock based has the problem. I tried running stock, but I've been running CM since G1 days, and I just can't stand stock, even the stripped down and modded versions. It just doesn't work right, and I can't get used to it, even after forcing myself to use it for several days.
I've never encountered such a weird problem, and I can't seem to find anyone else having a similar problem. I have no idea how to troubleshoot this beyond what I've done already. I'm currently running thompatry's Cm12.1 20160212, having not rebooted after the initial install, and it's running mostly ok, but I live in dread of my battery dying, and of course I can't install any xposed modules like xprivacy or multiwindow, which is bothersome. I have the wifi only US model, v1awifi, and I'm currently running TWRP 3, tho I was on TWRP 2.8.something when the issues first started happening.
what's the last 3 characters of your bootloader version?

Have you tried changing kernel? I mean in the case of civz lollipop rom you do get an option of 2 different kernels try choosing the opposite to the one you had chosen before. Thank you, hope it helps.
I won a year ago 2 Note Pro, one works flawlessly while the other is slow af and it has the same issue that you speak about. If I stay on stock everything is good more or less (sometime little slow), but if I install Lineage or any other Custom Rom is too slow and has the same issue you speak.
I changed both batteries, but nothing to do. If anyone knows, text please.
Thank you!
So I bought the S6, new, never been opened, sealed etc, let it charge the proceeded to turn it on. Then comes the welcome bit and startup, this is where it went tits up. Apparently everything stopped responding, google maps stopped responding, voice commands stopped responding, etc. Thought nothing of it, skipped through everything, got into home screen and then "Touchwiz has stopped responding". So naturally I though oh dear. Oh, it also started restarting on it's own randomly as well, I tried booting in safe mode, disabling things, that didn't work, sometimes it would even get in a bootloop, loop 3 times and then start.
I tried updating it, didn't work, tried flashing it with "G920FXXU3QOLD_G920FH3G3QOJ1_G920FXXU3QOJB_HOME", problems still persist. It's currently on 5.1.1, it wont update in settings, just starts downloading more than 1.2gb's of downloads then says "Software update has stopped responding".
Tried samsungs live chat, was awful, they didn't present any useful information.
I'm wondering if it's just 5.1.1 being awful, because when I boot to the system recovery menu thing where it has the blue screen with android logo, then has yellow exclamation mark, that doesn't reboot on it's own at all. Never reboots in download mode either. Phone is not rooted, knox hasn't been tripped or anything, so I'm left clueless. What do I do? Bought this phone, what, 4 days ago ish. Came here yesterday. My question is, if I flash it with idk, a 6.0.1 update in odin or something, will that fix the problems?
Hi,
It seems to me that you have a defective device, you can either try reflashing the stock firmware and then factory resetting, I believe that it really is a software issue, but as it's brand new (as you stated), you can return it to the store and get another one.
There are quite a few guides to flashing stock firmware back, hope you can do it .
All the best,
~Lord

Hi. My device worked just perfect until 5 days ago. It slowly began to ignore some tasks like opening apps or doing calls.
2 days ago my google pixel with Android 8.0 started to ignore every input i made, like opening apps or trying to reboot. It behaving like this after taking some pictures with the rear cam. After some attepts in opening apps it started to reboot. But instead of a normal reboot it stuck in a booting screen (the one with the Google G and a gray animation bar underneath). It took a while and i waited until it seemed that the OS booted correctly. But after this my device started to reboot randomly after a few minutes. After a while i figured out, that i can hold the power button while the screen with the google G was up to reboot it normally. This worked so that the phone was at least half an hour or more working until it rebooted again out of nowhere.
So far i tried to get it in safe mode and delete some apps like whatts app etc. In safe mode i didnt notice any crashes so far.... but in normal one it does a lot so deleting apps wasnt helpful. Turning on flight mode was not helpful either.
What can I do? What could it be?

Same thing happens with my Pixel, sometimes the phone is just get stuck on some random screen then I have to press and hold it for 15 seconds to let it reboot again. Lately I have started to see another problem, when it reboots bunch of google apps and services stops working and gives hell lot of notifications. All this started to happen after Android Oreo update

I noticed problems with my ear speaker as well. And i cant make phone calls. The phone doent respond anymore when i try to.
Same problem after android 8.0 update
If you have installed the latest Google phone/dialer app, that is likely the problem, was for me.
Find the app in settings and uninstall,it will roll back to a previous version and hopefully fix your issues.

My pixel does the same thing, ever since I updated to 8.0, have you tried doing a factory reset? I haven't done it yet, I have been uninstalling apps for the last couple of days, when it is in safe mode it works good, but when it's not, it freezes and restarts. I'm going to try uninstalling the latest version on google dialer to see if it helps.
I just want to update everyone in case you are having a problem with the random reboots.
I uninstalled the phone update and it was still randomly rebooting so I backed up the stuff that I needed and just did a factory reset. I have been a full day on my phone without any problems. I did a factory reset twice, just in case, for some crazy reason, the phone still had a problem, I wiped it twice! I think you'll be good with only wiping once.
Anyways to sum it all up, I did a factory reset, restored all of my backed up data from my pixel, I had about 120 apps and the phone has not had a problem since. I hope it helps someone else.

Mate, please report if you're still getting the reboots. Mine disappear for two weeks after I do a factory reset and then come back. Same happens in Safe Mode. Bug report claims it's 'Sense Key : Hardware Error [current]' and Google rep says it's a hardware issue (Toshiba's memory or something). Buganiser thread is here.
wrong place sry
Had this on my pixel xl. I was on the 8.1 beta.
factory reset, rolled back to 8.0
8.1 ota official
haven't had a reboot in over a week now

Yea, the issue is back, has been for about 2 weeks. This phone is really starting to be a pain in the ass, I can't believe that it happens so often. Did you do a warranty fix?
That's a pity. Yes, I did. Got the device roughly two and a half weeks ago. Flashed 8.0 and then sideloaded 8.1 right away. Knock on wood, all good. But there's still a report every other day in Buganiser of a phone even on 8.1 doing this.
Got mine at release. November 16. Google won't replace it either. I have a one pixel brick
I have the same problem. However, it is not frequent enough on Android P beta. But as soon as I go back to the stable build, it starts to do the same thing. Did you guys have any luck resolving this or should I send it back to the vendor I bought it from. They won't replace the device in Pakistan but may be will fix it in some manner.
I had a notification that a Google Play system update requires the phone to be restarted in order to complete the update. So i did. I clicked restart now. Now my phone is stuck and is still at the reboot screen with miui logo for almost 2 hours now. What should I do? My battery percentage before i clicked restart was bout 90 percent still. It happened twice this week now. The same case happened. But on the first time that it got stuck, i restarted the phone for 3 times till it got past the boot screen. When i checked the settings, i was in android 11 but it was problematic because i cannot toggle the chat heads of messenger anymore. The chat bubbles feature also keeps on crashing. That's why i thought that maybe it was because i did not let it finish on its own. A day after that, i got the notification again, so i restarted and decided to wait for it to finish. and here i am now, still waiting for almost 2 hours already. Has this happened to anyone before as well? What should i do?
Same thing happened to me too.
Not just this my phone was stuck for 1.5 hours on the MIUI screen during the first firmware update as well and I had to reboot. After a couple of reboots it started up fine.
Now whenever I try to reboot for Google Play system update it gets stuck on MI screen.
Anyone figured out what should be done here?
Same thing happened to me too.
did anyone figure out what's happening ?
