Galaxy Avant Crashing & Rebooting on G386TUVU1ANHA

Is anybody else having a crashing and rebooting problem on G386TUVU1ANHA?

Is there a fix for this?

It's usually happening a few times a day whether I'm using the phone or at night. The phone reboots at night and I hear the T-Mobile jingle when it restarts.
[General Questions and Answers] chaostic_2k1:
Boot animation and sound are handle by the phone's init script. You might want to check the original boot sound to see if it has any silence at the beginning. As for the sound stop working, the boot animation should have a script that says frame rate and maybe sound. The new one might not have a good script and/or points to the wrong sound location.
[General Questions and Answers] nyttliv7:
I've been searching through every init file I can find already, but I can't find anything about this...

Do you know where to find any script that affects this, please ☺

I found this:

Q: Power on sound do not start with animation. Not synchronized.

A: Nothing i can do. For some reason Samsung delayed the sound initialization.

Even if you have to start some things over again, I would reinstall the firmware with Odin and then only change one thing at the time (only freezing system apps/functions), and see if any errors occur. If you look at my earlier posts I have shared what worked for me, what to delete, freeze and so on... My phone works flawlessly now (after many errors, testing and reinstallings of firmware) ☺
[General Questions and Answers] kdkirk08:
I upgraded to the newest firmware using Odin and haven't re-rooted my phone yet and I'm still having the random reboot issue. I've noticed it happens more often when I'm opening the youtube app more than anything else. But it's probably just be a coincidence. Never had this problem on ang6.
[General Questions and Answers] nyttliv7:
Oh, sorry, I didn't really try the new firmware without rooting, and I don't use the YouTube app (I use TubeMate)... So I have no idea...
[General Questions and Answers] kdkirk08:
I have only had the reboot issue happen a few times and it was shortly after I flashed the new firmware. Since then it hasn't done it at all. I'm still unrooted.
[General Questions and Answers] nyttliv7:
I read on the T-mobile support that a bunch of people have that problem after update, and unfortunately there's still no answers?

From one thing to another - Just found this:

Hey guys, does anyone know how to remove carrier bookmarks from the default Samsung Internet app? I've got a ton of crappy bloatware-related bookmarks that Rogers installed on the phone and I'm not getting the option to remove in the Internet app. I really want to use the Samsung one instead of Chrome because of the full-screen mode, but I hate it because of the un-removable bookmarks. Will I have to root to get rid of them? If so, how?

Also, can this phone play 1080p? I thought I'd be able to stream 1080p videos via Youtube apps like FREEdi Player but the highest option I get on that app is 720p. Sucks because even my G2x, a three-year-old phone stuck on Gingerbread, can play 1080p easily..

EDIT: the phone can definitely play and stream 1080p, but for some reason, I can't stream any 1080p videos from Youtube no matter what app I use. It always forces me down to 720p or lower.

[General Questions and Answers] DroidJP:
I did read on their T-mobile site. That Lollipop is coming for the Avant sometime this year. I hope so because this phone has potential that's been crippled by the current stock rom. I am not too impressed with stock kikat rom. Heck, The Galaxy prime that's just been released on metropcs has Lollipop, but only has 8gb internal storage. What kind of strategy is this? The Avant is way better than the prime. This needs to change how updates are being delivered.
[General Questions and Answers] Blu8:
Still waiting for that link dude, where did you see the avant was getting official lollipop? The core prime has lollipop because that's Samsung's MO, flood the market with low end phones to make more money, lollipop is the incentive to get that phone. The avant is near obsolete now.
[General Questions and Answers] malnash52@gmail.com:
Lollipop isn't coming to the avant your just going to have to until broken OS is fixed up and when D-FUSE decides to release it

[General Questions and Answers] DroidJP:
I am hoping around Oct-Dec. If it does not come within those months. Then the Avant is definitely not get the update. I also guessing the Galaxy core prime is a replacement of the GL. So therefore wouldn't make any sense to excluded the Avant... So hoping the update is coming.

I'm confused (or maybe just dumb), but you *were* teasing a possible Lollipop release for Avant in your previous post ("Hopefully Avant will get some love tomorrow"), were you not?

Or did I just completely misinterpret the meaning of your post? It wouldn't be the first time... ;)

[General Questions and Answers] Masterchief87:
The screenshots you saw were from a build for the ZTE ZMAX aka draconis. If you look you will see the word draconis in the screenshots instead of sm-g386t. He was saying hopefully he can fix some of the problems that the avant has. Not that he is releasing something tomorrow.

I'm thinking the latter of the two is more likely lol

These bogus sites have been around for over a year. They all promise Lollipop for your Avant but then lead you into a maze of ad sites.

BTW, anyone tried the updated Google Now Launcher? Between it, the Google Keyboard and Monster UI, my AOKP-equipped Avant looks and feels like Android 6.0 "Marshmallow." :)

[General Questions and Answers] rck01:
Guys, seriously, the Avant running dfuse's AOKP is pretty awesome right now. It's fast, rock stable, and as I noted in the article linked above, can be outfitted to look and work a lot like Lollipop/Marshmallow.

So while I, too, would love a newer version, I have to point out that things are pretty good as they are. Even if we never get 5.x (or 6.x) working, the current situation is far from dire.

Android is, by its nature, quite modular. And though we may not get many more updates to the core OS, we're still receiving plenty of goodies via the Play Store, and we'll continue to do so for some time to come.

BTW has anyone noticed that there is a new dev and ROM (kinda its modded aokp) on afh dunno who it is

But I downloaded the ROM and lo and behold...

nothing.......

it doesn't flash as is so...

I checked out the contents and it was packed wrong (I think, there is a folder containing the files) so...

I tried repacking the ROM( just unpacked and repacked with files not in a folder) and...

It flashed and got to the AOKP boot animation!

But it gets stuck there I think dunno if the ROM needs to be signed or what...

Maybe I didn't wait long enough idk but whoever modded dfuse's AOKP ROM needs to look into the file I don't think that it was packed properly

[General Questions and Answers] der_cobester:
I ran into a slight problem today. We has some standardized testing so I left my phone in my backpack. It went from somewhere near 95% to 50ish during the time from 8 to noon. The screen was off and everything, obviously shown by the fact that screen usage was 2%. It also looks like most of that happened in the space if 30 mins. With the use I have put it through today, I would think I would be at 85%ish. Any idea what's up? I think I will try that exposed battery app to pinpoint the problem in the meantime. Funny thing is, this also happened to my old phone on kk (100-0 in 3 hrs with literally no usage). And was fixed with lolipop.

[General Questions and Answers] JazzMartian:
I agree fellas. I never ran a custom ROM until recently w/ D-FUSE's AOKP. This goes for any of my Droids. Gotta say, I'm very impressed, and also realized how terrible TouchWiz is after spending time w/ the custom ROM.

My other Droid is an Nvidia Shield Portable, and it'd be SO nice if there was a custom ROM available for it, particularly as nice as AOKP. There's a CM port, but last I remember reading it wasn't quite "there". I might as well check it out for myself now though. Hopefully ROM development continues and picks up w/ the NSP. :fingers-crossed:

Thanks again [MENTION=3042344]D-FUSE[/MENTION]. :good: :victory:

And yeah it is in our nature to want more, and after that even more and more. ;)

Oh, and I just joined the AOKP community on G+, only to find out that the magical unicorn project has died. R.I.P. to the Kangling project. Maybe instead of "Rest In Peace", it could be "Rebuild It Progressively"? :silly:

Well I just got my avant back and am in process of building a new pc. I want to get a stable cm11 going for this device. So give me a week or 2 maybe I can build from source when I get chance after I build pc. Miui is a must have for me I will port just as I have my old phones. Like I said give me little cause building pc.

Sorry but I think the avant isn't bad phone for its money I like so I'm a stay and hopefully get stable cm. Now this will be my 2nd attempt in building from source so hopefully I'll set things up right again. Lol wish me luck!

Sad thing is my galaxy q 4G gets more support then this and my HTC mytouch 4g gets more support also lol that's sad and this phone is nice for cheap I just don't understand why there are no devs here.
[General Questions and Answers] der_cobester:
Not that I'm not glad there's a new prospective dev, but we have a solid cm11 build already. IMO, it would be more worthwhile to get aznrice's cm12 build done. Do whatever, but I don't think we need more kit-kat for this device.
