[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A-Sweaty-Wombat:
Hello,

I have a rooted GT-I9505 S4 and I have noticed recently after flashing many ROMs, kernels and overclocking that my phone will occasionally reboot randomly. For example, I was playing Candy Crush (yes I know), and the game froze, so did the whole system, and after about 3-8 seconds parts of the screen went black followed by the other half.

Sort of like this:

________________________________________

It reminds me of how screens refresh on each cycle.

Anyway... Even on a stock firmware with a stock kernel (always custom recovery TWRP) it does it, but a LOT less often. I only experienced it once on stock 4.3 firmware (official, but rooted).

So can anyone give a diagnosis of this? Have I completely ruined my phone by overclocking? Is it because I'm using a custom recovery? Is it because I'm rooted?

Warranty is not an option as I've tripped my Knox warranty void to 0x1 by flashing.

I'm currently on Cyanogenmod 10.2 NIGHTLY.

I've noticed that it happens most frequently when I run a benchmark test or when stressing the phone on games when overclocked.

But some other times are random, so when playing music, when unlocking, when launching apps etc.

And one final thing... I only overclocked my phone because Samsung's PATHETIC TouchWiz lags and stutters and I had enough of it and overclocking took away a bit of that lag.

As always, thank you for any help and tips.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StupidSaleem:
Meh.

I don't think the problem is with you flashing an custom ROM or overclocking.

My I9505 Has had this problem since I got it, July 2013 and hasn't gone away through the numerous updates and ROMs it has had on it. It actually just happened again as I am typing this.

I am using a Google play Edition ROM for my phone and it constantly reboots, almost every hour so I really don't know what the problem is.

If you find a solution let me know.

Good luck,

Saleem.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrAndroid12:
Sounds like a hardware problem.

I haven't had reboots even on 4.3 from day one and I have stressed my phone with GTA SA maxed (does stutter a bit), Asphalt 8 etc... heated it up and I haven't got a single sign or fault of it.

I've never had a randon reboot in my I9505 with stock rom.

Try a stock rom and if persists RR leave in a assistence.

By the accident... take a look on your battery... is it flat, or swollen???
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A-Sweaty-Wombat:
Funny thing you mention that... One of the Anker batteries that I am using has bulged in the middle. Why do you mention this?

I have no idea about usage whilst on that battery, but It's the only battery that has it; the other Anker battery and stock Samsung battery are both fine!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A-Sweaty-Wombat:
I too haven't had any random reboots since going back to stock firmware and keeping everything stock. The only thing I have done is root and I seem to have no problems with it any more. It must have something to do with the kernel because as we all know the kernel is in charge of everything, including power management, so if the kernel fails or crashes or something like that, then it is possible for the phone to completely crash and reboot.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spamtrash:
Shall not be the case, then. I simply had random freezes and reboots caused by faulty, swollen battery. Just in case: do not use that faulty one ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Plumpytron:
this man speaks the truth. My S4 was randomly rebooting for about a week and i didnt believe that it could be the battery till i broke down and just bought a new one. all of a sudden the random reboots stopped and everythings back to normal.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EDHahn:
Hey all,

I just got my nexus 5, 2 days ago. When I am NOT connected to wifi my LTE Data connection drops after my screen has been off for about 3-5 minuets. When wifi is connected I don't lose my data connection. I can still receive Texts. Yes Background data is turned on. When the screen is on I am getting great speeds. I figured this out because I was not getting notificaions. When I turn the screen on and check my notification setting panel the LTE turns orange for about a second then goes back to white.

What I have tried

1. Turn off LTE Tried 3g and 2g. I had the same problem.

2. Tried alternate APN Settings. There are many variation to choose from for straight talk with a Google search.

2a. I am a tfdata sim on straight talk, FYI

3. Factory Data Reset

4. Re-flash Stock Factory rom and recovery. I was rooted and TWRP

5. Lock Bootloader

I have a call and email out to straight talk, waiting for a response, but thought I would post and see if anyone can think of anything I might of missed. Hope I don't have to send it back to Google.

Thanks In advance

Eric
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EDHahn:
Update

Just wanted to update in case someone else runs in to these issues.

When straight talk provisioned my sim there were some errors. They were not able to correct them in the computer so have to send me a new sim. It took 4 phone calls to finally come to this conclusion. I will update again if the issue is resolved with the new sim.

As a clarification to the problem. As it turns out it had nothing to do with the screen being on or off. It happened every time my data connection went idle.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snipazer:
I have the exact same issue with my Straight Talk service!

Did you get the new SIM yet? Did it fix the issue?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] neoissa:
Hey Guys,

This is my first post and i am trying to bring something useful and try to be as much active as possible and as a thanks to the hard work from the

developers for their solid Custom ROMS

Ever been curious about using a Note device, but never given one a try? Well Samsung is hoping that an app in the Play Store called the Galaxy Note 3 Experience will help you discover all of its great features. You get a chance to watch some promo videos, and live interactive full-screen tutorials showing how features work on the Note 3 on whatever device you currently use.

to get it go to

Google Play and search for

"GALAXY Note 3 Experience"

thank you

Thank you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] HKSpeed:
interesting way to market the Note3. i used to have a note2, but I sold it for the S4. the size killed it for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] neoissa:
I totally agree they want this phone sale to try and beet the Iphone 5c but there no much a big of a difference between the s4 and note 3 beside the big screen and some minor features that they are not worth the extra money.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] HKSpeed:
The Note2 has something called popup browser where you can open an internet browser window (samsung's browser only I think) and move it anywhere on screen. I'm not aware of popup browser on the S4. The Note3 expands the popup window to work with other apps. The Note2 and 3's multitasking abilities are amazing. Multiwindow is just the tip of the ice burg. Too bad it's so big and heavy (inconvenient to carry in pant pockets). I don't think I'll get another phone that's larger than 5 inches (screen).

What's the word on the S5??? I haven't heard anything about it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] hovax615@hotmail.com:
Someone needs to port/hack the s-pen features via aircommand so we can use it on the s4 on 4.3 we have the s-pen settings its just hidden. To activate it you will need to download Google gesture search from the play store open it up write “PEN" and it should pop up “pen settings" open that up and you'll see all the pen features.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] DigitalUnderground:
Lol silly you're on xda. You can put popup browser on not only the s4, but even the s3 by just installing the apk.

---------- Post added at 07:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:21 PM ----------

The word is that it won't update as fast as the nexus 5 and will be much more bloated with even more gimmicky features that nobody will use... Probably loaded with Knox as well
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mr. bird:
You can't use the s pen on our phone, different screen. Our phone uses the big usless stylus.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] hovax615@hotmail.com:
Yes I know you can't use the s-pen on our phone. I said if someone can implement/dirty hack “aircommand" so that we can use aircommamd as the s-pen with our finger.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hackkpo:
Im Argentinean first of all and I'd bought my new GS2 3 days ago on mercadolibre.com.ar (a site like ebay.com) to a guy that imports it from factory. After of almost 50 days of waiting, i did got my new mobile phone, when i got it i'd upgraded to JellyBean with the official samsung rom, and that's when the problems showed up, the top left corner come overheat turning off the device, over and over again. So after some failed testing I'd chosed to change the kernel to Siyah expecting some performance improve but it become kind of worst because when the screen blackout the device just reboot itself, but if i keep doing something on it nothing happens, just when the screen comes black.

So i guessed that it may was related to the kernel, so downloaded another official rom jelly bean, this one was a Pre-Release rom, that some time ago i'd installed on a friend's galaxy s2 and it worked fine (despite the increased battery drain). This wasn't any solution though, because it keeps rebooting when the screen comes black.

I did tested to turning on without the simcard and microsd card, with the same results.

Another fact is that if i left the music playing and turn of the screen with the power button, nothing happens, it works perfectly.

It seems that is some kind of trigger when the mobile actually suspend itself doing really nothing.

Now i dont know what to do, should i test some custome rom/kernel?? should i get the chances to use the warranty? (implies to send again the device to china i guess ¬¬)

Please help, and thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeetu:
You should try custom rom. Try to Flash Neatrom or any stock custom rom.

Hope it solves your problem. :)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeetu:
Yes do the same what i posted above and then flash your rom again.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hackkpo:
Why would i reflash again? i dont get it
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeetu:
Because your phone is now in Bootloop.

Bootloops can occur pretty easily, it’s mainly caused because system files interfering with each other which causes instability and/or crashes at the boot sequence.

Think of system apps that are compiled incorrectly, permissions that are not set correctly, files from other devices and even an init.d script, everything is possible.

To find the cause of a bootloop you have to think about what you did before getting the bootloop.

Choose one of the following reasons that caused the bootloop for you and try out its solution.

– After flashing a new rom

If you flash a new (base)rom on your device it may not automatically wipe your dalvik-cache, This means your old dalvik-cache will be used for the new system files which would result in a bootloop, to fix this problem:

1. Start your phone in CWM Recovery

2. Go to Advanced

3. Choose “Wipe dalvik-cache”

4. Now go to “Mounts & Storage”

5. Choose “Wipe /cache”

6. Reboot your phone

Note: by wiping “/cache” and “dalvik-cache” you make sure it’s completely deleted, some roms use /data and some use /cache for the dalvik-cache

If the problems still exists after doing that, you could try to wipe your /data partition. before you do that first make a backup of your phone (in it’s current bootlooping state)

1. Start your phone in CWM Recovery

2. Now go to “Backup & Restore”

3. Choose “backup” (it may also be called “backup to internal/external sdcard)

When that’s done you are free to wipe /data, you can achieve this by doing:

1. Now go to “Mounts & Storage”

2. Choose “Wipe /data”

3. Choose “Wipe /cache”

4. Reboot your phone

If the rom still doesn’t boot correctly it’s probably the rom which isn’t working, contact the rom creator then and try an other rom for the meanwhile.

No is not, the cellphone starts normal, and while im using it nothing wear happens, but when i left it the screen goes black and the device reboot itselfs. But now im seeing that doesnt happen anymore, i dont know why.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hackkpo:
Still with cyanogenmod rom, i connected the phone to charge the battery, and i saw a tendency of reboots and turnings off while the percentaje comes to 100% and a increasing overheat on the left-top of the phone, i suspect that the problem may be related with the amount of charge from battery and the overheating... Hardware problem?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hackkpo:
Well... After all this time my cellphone went through the argentinean official service of samsung and the tech guy told me that he couldn't do anything on my device because he tried installing a lot of samsung official roms and the device was still malfunctioning. So he gave up on it, so i'd tooked it to another service (non official this time) and that guy told me that it may be a non official device, so he wouldnt do nothing on it, because i couldnt get the hardware that possible was malfunctioning. So here im now, with the all money spent for nothing.

My question is, what can i do to know if is or isnt an ORIGINAL samsung device? Knowing that i'll choose how to proceed. Txs!

Woke up this morning to the new ota downloading. As of this time it is on ask me later.

I know enough to know that it could not be installed with root so I started reading the xda forums for the best method. I originally rooted with moto root, then later updated to pwnmymoto. I have also installed safestrap 3.63a and used xposed framework to allow unlock with NFC. My question is if I uninstall all of these (they all have the uninstall feature) can I install the ota? Sorry if I missed this some where else, but I havent seen anyone with a similar set up comment. Any help is greatly appreciated. I forgot to mention I have read about fxz with houseofmoto but have never used adb so am a little nervous to do this if not necessary.

Thanks,

JD
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Caseyk621:
You will need to go back to stock. Otherwise you'll bootloop. You can remove the update zip from cache and place on your SD so you don't accidentally take the update. Try houseofmoto for returning to stock while saving data! Sry I don't have the link.

---------- Post added at 04:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:58 PM ----------

House of moto is a utility for fxz back to stock. You won't need to set up adb for that. Just download and set the proper files and run the utility. RockMyMoto by jcase is the exploit you will need to reroot once you take the upgrade. You WILL need adb for that as of now.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdeere1971:
Thanks for the quick reply. I was leaning towards houseofmoto but wanted to see what was best.
