Noticed today that I woke the phone up to a message saying the password is required after a restart!
I have over 50% battery remaining!
Anyone else experiencing this issue?

Not with mine but I think there is an option somewhere within settings which allows the phone to restart itself to clear memory etc. Perhaps that settings is enabled on yours?
Sent from my SM-G970F using Tapatalk
I've made sure that setting is disabled under device care but it still seems to happen. Possibly overnight.

Mine said it a couple of times aswell when i first unlocked it in the morning, it's a bug in Android 10 because when I've checked the uptime it hasn't reset.

This is definitely a bug! Have been using my phone browsing Facebook then went to the toilet and came back less than 6 minutes later and the phone advised me I need to enter the password after a restart. I don't even think it restarted!

Have you tried a cache wipe from recovery? Worked wonders for me.
Yeah, wipe the cache.....
Mine is running fine.
OTA are an issue, especially if it's up an Android version. Nothing as good as a reset then update and reset again just for good measure. Start fresh.
I couldn't do that with all my work stuff but a cache wipe has made quite a difference. You also MUST update apps.

I'm not doing a reset as I have quite a lot of stuff stored on my phone. Also with us being almost in 2020, I don't see why customers are expected to do extreme things like this as a fix when there's no guarantee that it'll resolve the issue.
I'll try and Google for instructions on how to wipe the cache if I don't lose any of my data or settings.

This is a Samsung One UI bug within Android 10 not a Android 10 bug, it probably get fixed silently with the January update which is due in a week or so time.
Other than that Android 10 has been a pretty solid update from Samsung.
I give up trying to figure out how to wipe the cache on this phone after spending an hour trying to do it!!
All the instructions I can find on Google say that you need to hold down the home, volume up and power buttons together to get to the recovery mode. I doubt any of them gave done it themselves on a real S10 as if they did, they'd realise there is no physical home button!
Will just wait a few months for Crapsung to release a fix.

The key combination is Volume up, Bixby and Power. Turn off your phone and release the buttons when the boot up screen appears.

Many thanks for this. It worked first time! Instructions on other sites just aren't very clear so hopefully this helps others like me.
I've now wiped the cache successfully so will see if that resolves my issue.

This morning, I woke up excited to update my phone to Android 2.3.3... Only to find out, that it didn't fix all of the issues. Yes, Data, and GPS are working perfectly now... But my phone is still randomly shutting off by itself. I know it's not a finalized version, but seriously? We wait 3 months for this? Thanks!

Have you checked by doing a factory reset?
Some apps might rebooting your phone.
They didn't really tell anyone to use this unfinished, testing update.
Of course, that doesn't make it right, just saying.

You may have to do a flash recovery, so far mines, has no more reboot's, but only time will tell, but do think they actually fixed the problems, no more lockup's on long calls.

I can't see any difference in the GPS performance. It still takes me around 90 seconds to get a fix if it's been more than a couple of hours since I last used the GPS (i.e., it's not using the AGPS data). That's about what it generally took with the stock Froyo ROM.

Update working great for me. This will hold me off for sure till devs make a awesome rom out of this so far stable rom..

It bring it back to stock, Use NVFlash to restore the stock recovery, if you rooted, if not then hold both the Power button and volume up together, when power on the phone and you sure get to a recovery menu.
I've seen this happen over and over, actually it just happened to me again after going Happy Gilmore on some system edits. The typical reaction is to change kernel, restore a backup, etc. Here's a way that works without changing anything.
Wait 30 seconds after the message appears
Click close and then verify, by turning screen on and off, that the device is not frozen.
Open the battery door and take the battery out for 3 seconds
Replace the battery and cover
Hold volume down and press power, keeping the volume key pressed.
Select recovery using volume down, and press power.
Use volume down to scroll to Advanced
Press power to select.
Repeat selection process for wipe dalvik-cache, followed by fix permissions
Press back to return to the main menu, where reboot device should be selected.
Press power to reboot
Thank your Android device for complying.
This seems like a long process when written out, but this prevents the usual "how do I..." and "what order did you..."
All you did was check for kernel lock up, battery pull, reboot recovery, clear dalvik, fix permissions, and reboot.

Thanks twisted. His is very useful info.
When they ask, and they DO ask, I simply tell them its one BAMF!
Wish I knew this earlier! Had to chat with Samsung support, who suggested I buy only Samsung OEM products (including Samsung sd card)and call them back. Did -- which meant more money, factory reset, reinstalling my 211 apps, and after installing Amazon AppStore, the problem started again. After pulling the battery, it usually worked, but who needs that! Ended uninstalling Amazon AppStore. Doesn't do it anymore. Now, I just use Google Play, but your solution would've been MUCH easier! Gonna keep it in mind if I have more issues. Thanked you.

I'm assuming the above steps works on any phone (my sgs i9000) ?
I have just encountered that problem today, twice to be precise & so I can manage..
I'm wondering if it has to do with flashing zip file today (low storage notification zip file)
alright i fixed it on my phone. i did a full wipe. tell me if i need to explain how to do this. reflashed the ROM and gapps. when i went through the setup the first time there was an option to restore from google. it was checked by default. i left it checked. same problem... system process not responding... wiped and started over and reflashed ROM and gapps. unchecked restore google and it didnt come back. phone hasnt crashed since. the problem lies within the wifi passwords restore. the problem started when i was trying to start wifi. i dont know where to report the bug or i would. good luck and any questions? just quote this so i get an email and ill try to explain if this didnt make sense. hope it helped. if it did consider buying my buddy a beer who is a dev and needs a new computer. http://johntriger-development.yolasite.com/

Just to be clear, it is volume down. Unless you are holding the phone upside-down.
I know that this is an old thread, but the problem still appears, and perhaps the following will be a clue for people who care about this problem:
I have it on various versions of 6.x running on a virtualbox VM, where the host is Windows 10 and for the moment the host only has 4GB of RAM, so I only gave 1GB to the VM. The thing is: i can make the problem go away just by giving the VM 1500MB of RAM.
I believe that what this "solution" and the darling one of this thread have in common is that they are ways to deal with a machine which doesn't have (quite) enough RAM -- is that accurate?
One practical consequence is that if you do all the clean-up suggested earlier, and that works, but the problem comes back too soon, you might do better to install more memory or do something that will use less memory PERMANENTLY., not just until the cache fills up again.
I have 16GB on order, and once it's here, i will allocate 4GB to the VM. If you don't see any edit here, it's because I'm too busy having fun with my running "Process system" (sic) to post here .
Hello guys
I just finished updating my rooted Nexus 5 to 4.4.3 and it went fine but I immidiately noticed some "problems" when I turned it on. The thing is that my touch screen is not as responsive as before 4.4.3 update. On 4.4.2 scrolling was flowy and smooth like on ice, but on 4.4.3 I got big delay (half cm of emptiness) on scrolling through gesture (apps, home or anything..) and, even worse, when I'm scrolling down my Contacts list it dials randomly due to a lagging. Is there any calibration to be done or that's it?

It doesn't sound normal. Mine is working just as smooth as it was on 4.4.2. Have you tried wiping the phone? Do a factory reset and see.

For battery drain, install an app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.asksven.betterbatterystats (it's free demo version is available on XDA) or https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gsamlabs.bbm
Observe your device for one day after complete charge (90+) and use it.
Using that app, you'll observe the apps/wakelocks which are causing unnecessary battery drain. Eliminate them or post screenshots here so that we can help you to solve battery drain issue.

First thing to do if something is broken after an OTA is factory reset to see if it is an OS bug or whether you have incompatible data and settings.
It sounds like it would be a pain to do, but you can easily backup with helium nowadays so it needn't be

GPS not Working
Has anyone else noticed if their GPS is working or not? I was trying to use mine last night and I can see that GPS connects and it brings up the map but then never navigates or even moves from the starting point on the map. Can someone let me know if this is a new problem??? I flashed the N5_4.4.3.zip file that someone pointed me to, as I had asked for a flashable zip file to update to 4.4.3 as I still have not gotten an ota notification from T-Mobile:confused
i have a question also,
what if i like the current mono toned google dialer?
when i get this update & it updates the dialer, is it possible to un-install the dialer update to revert back to the older dialer?

There was a new update today. The new version is N920VVRS2BPF2. Not sure what changed though.
I wouldn't download this yet guys/girls because it's looking like this is a security patch to stop us from downgrading from MM to Lollipop!! Once this has been accepted you can't even factory reset or it will render the phone useless!!
I don't know why people have an issue with Marshmallow. Runs flawlessly, I'm usually sitting at 1880MB of free space of RAM, no stuttering, looks and feels cleaner.

Not everyone's phone is the same that's why. Some people like Lollipop over Marshmallow and depending on how you use it and what apps you have on there are also a determining factor in how the rom runs.
Took this update earlier this morning, phone runs like a dream on mm. Starting to notice some slight slowdown with battery saver on. Might be time for a full wipe and reinstall. I did one with the first mm update but there's been like three now since then.

I accidently hit the install for this update. Ever since MM my battery life, screen on time, has been horrible (2.5-3.5 hours MAX). I've factory reset, wiped cache, tried the package disabler with extreme settings and it still is not right. I was thinking about going back to lollipop but if this update froze that I may dump this phone and look for another. that I can root.

That sucks dude!! I've figured out that if you factory reset *before* you accept any updates, the battery and phone will work much better! I'm not sure what you can do at this point except maybe try to Odin the stock Lollipop rom and see if it works cause maybe the other guy's phone was just a fluke! You have to enable OEM unlock first and enable adb in developer settings.

I'm on MM and did a reset last week. I could not sign in to the phone using my Google account for 24 hrs.
If you do a Google search you can find out about this new "security feature".
Also you can reboot the phone by holding down the volume down, then home, then power in that sequence for 10 seconds.

They've been doing it for quite a while.. It's supposed to be a security guard against people stealing your phone and factory resetting it immediately so they can use it. The simple way to stop this is to activate developer mode and enable OEM unlock and USB debugging! Most people who don't bother to read nothing should be happy that it's only 24 hours instead of the 72 (3 days) that it used to be! All they need to do is research before doing anything to their phones.

So it just buys you time if your phone is stolen. Fine right do what exactly I would track it.. Or remote wipe it.. Just not seeing the benefit

Yeah it basically buys you time to track it or wipe the phone and lock it down. It also gives you time to change your password just in case. If people don't want it they can disable it as I said and you can enable it again later if you choose to. I don't see how it's going to hurt anyone so long as they read and learn about their phone before doing anything to it.

What? I've been using Android phones with Verizon for as long as there has been such a thing...and I've never waited three days after a reset or one day either. Personal experience here or rumor?

Personal experience several times! Either it's on or off and the carrier can even hide the option so you don't even know it's there. Personally I think it doesn't happen when you're somewhere you normally use your phone but if you go to say another state it's going to know and activate it.
I've reset an lg g2 tons of times flashing it, s4 multiple times and my note 5 twice and I've never had to wait ever. Could it be because I use 2 step authentication?

Stupid update has screen time like 6th on my list of battery consumption. Thanks for the security update Verizon. Google services seems to be my main drain. Then media server. Nothing like ruining my great battery life.

I wouldn't download this yet guys/girls because it's looking like this is a security patch to stop us from downgrading from MM to Lollipop!! Once this has been accepted you can't even factory reset or it will render the phone useless!!

This is totally false. I just upgraded my wife's Note 5 and then downgraded back to KK. All that is required is a factory data reset after the downgrade. You can do this by holding down the volume up, home and power buttons for 10 seconds. The phone will reboot into recovery and then you can reset and be on your way. Just keep your Google account and password handy if needed.
I had to do a factory reset on my phone, and behold I started to get a new update.
I checked and found it is just for Sep security updates. I have not personally noticed any changes.
Changelog details of the update build N920VVRS3BPI1
Features and or Enhancements
September Security Patch
Resolved known issues
Performance enhancements
Not a lot of help on what performance enhancements nor known issues.
Anyway, my $.02.

This has already been posted about a week and a half ago...
See here - Firmware Official
I'm surprised you said you don't see any improvement in performance because I certainly did.. I'm even getting between 8 and 11 hours of SOT whereas before I was only getting around 4 to 6 so it literally doubled it.. It may also be because I've got a lot of things disabled and I did an entire clean installation of the new firmware because I factory reset right after flashing it and then disabled/ removed a lot of junk and so far it's working better than any of the other ones I've tried!!
I happened to factory reset just before I knew of any new update. Now that I have the update, should I do it again?

Yes, it is always best to reset after a update.
Have used the update for a couple days now without doing a reset and so far it is better than the last update with a reset with performance and battery life, very impressive. I didn't disable any services/packages, only the disabling of apps which the UI allows by dragging/dropping from the app drawer since my last reset. This helps immensely with the ability to do dirty updates and staying at near peak performance, just an FYI.
May do a full reset this weekend just to be able to start fresh and test, but may not if the current state of my phone stays the same.

Did you factory reset? Just out of curiosity.

Yes when I said "clean installation" I meant factory reset. Sorry about that. I did the factory reset after I installed the update. Don't do it before that, it's pointless.

Thank you. You answered the question I meant to ask which was before or after the update. My phone could use a fresh start anyway. Thanks again.

When you guys reset, do you use the most recent copy or install from scratch? I see 3 choices, last 3 days, last 30 days, or install a fresh copy. I used the last 3 days choice.
All it does is install your apps so you don't have to pick them out once at a time.
Thanks

I start from scratch.. I don't let it install anything unless I manually tap it to do it so before I turn on my WiFi I set the Google play store and the Galaxy apps to not auto update so it doesn't start updating everything right away.

Well, since I just did it, I'll see how it goes. But I always turn off auto update on anything. I like to see the choices.
Thanks

You know, I think its possible to go way overboard on the whole reset after every update thing. Remember that now that Samsung is pushing the monthly Android security patches on a more or less consistent basis, you are going to be getting an update almost every month. Do you really want to be resetting that often? Up to you but that's not for me. I did do a reset when it went from 5.x to 6.x but I don't reset just for the monthly updates. I haven't had any problems either. I may do a "just because" reset after six months or so, but I think if you are doing this for every single update its going to get old really fast.

If you know what you're doing, and which backup apps to use, guess what? It takes less than 5 minutes to restore all of your stuff after a full reset..

Can you elaborate for the people that it takes longer than 5-10 minutes to re-setup? Are you using a backup program (which one) to use keep your data settings? I know some programs will allow you to backup the data/settings so you don't have to start from scratch but not all allow you to do this. I'm just throwing this out there. I don't need it because I like to reset mine back up... Makes it feel as I have a new phone.
anyone have the Tar Ball for this update? I have a Note 5 in an endless bootloop and SamMobile takes more than two hours to down load. The bootloop is so bad that you cannot get into recovery, the hardware power down does not allow factory reset or power off and the only one that seems to work is to odin the clean software.
Thanks.

I'd suggest you go with this one then because the BPJ3 has a battery draining issue and this new update after that one fixes it..
