[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poit:
Since the upgrade to MM, I've had weird pseudo-crashes on my phone. The phone will suddenly get really hot in my pocket and vibrate once. When I try to use it again it has apparently rebooted because it won't take my fingerprint and asks for a backup password just like after a reboot. However, when I go into about device>status, the up-time hasn't started over like it would on a reboot. This phone is running stock unrooted MM that I upgraded OTA.

I have three questions:

1. Is this happening to most people running stock MM?

2. Is this possible a poorly behaving app or is it a bug in the update

3. Any suggestions on how to track it down and fix this other than doing a factory wipe and restore.

I really don't want to do the factory wipe because it will take quite some time to put things back the way they were.

Thanks for the suggestions

Try doing a wipe of the cache only?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poit:
Did that several times, seems to calm down for a day or two after that. It's so random that I can't tell that it makes a difference.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tigrisan:
It's very random and mine has been doing the same thing since the MM update. I wish now I hadn't done the update because for awhile, it was rebooting twice an hour. Since uninstalling the iHeart app, it's not doing it as often but still at least once or twice a day. And it's not just the Samsung devices. I've seen Nexus as well as other owners reporting the same problem.

I think I've wiped the system cache a hundred times now and wiped the apps cache repeatedly too. It doesn't help. And there's no rhyme or reason to it. Also, people who have done factory resets report that the problem does NOT go away. In a couple forums, people who returned their phones and had the motherboards replaced claimed the problem stopped, but I have a hard time believing that thousands of us would need to do that.

Sucks when I'm on a business call!!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poit:
I've taken to manually killing apps a few times a day, it might be my imagination but it seems like it's helping. I've noticed that even after a reboot there will still be tons of apps in the recently used apps screen. Maybe this is a memory management or system resource issue.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poit:
I've tried killing aps, I've tried setting Do Not keep activities on, neither helps this issue. My suspicion is a baldy behaving app. perhaps BeyondPod.

I've moved to the beta version of Beyondpod which claims to have some fixes for Marshmallow. Still grasping at straws.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] helf:
I've never had very much luck with 'dirty' updates. Either via OTAs or direct ODIN flashing. Have you tried completely wiping the phone and restoring?

I have a Sprint Note Edge (SM-N915P) and I was having a similar issue. Turned out to be a conflict between a manual change I had made to the system and an automatic one. I went ahead and did a clean reload of the phone even after I figured out the issue and it is running a LOT better.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vortex421:
I've been having constant reboots since I upgraded to MM. People keep telling me it's a hardware issue, but I never had this trouble UNTIL the upgrade. Since then... nothing but headaches and trouble.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poit:
Well, the problem wasn't Beyondpod. another thing that keeps crashing is Apex Launcher which hasn't had an update since June 2015. Maybe not MM compliant. Replaced it with Nova, lets see if that makes a difference.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kittsil:
I started getting this when I got my phone. It happened on LL 5.0.1, but didn't go away after updating to 5.1.1, after rooting, after removing all the bloatware, etc. I noticed that it happened a lot more frequently when I had the Samsung Messages application open. Like you, I tried wiping the cache partition, etc. Wiping the app cache for Messages really seemed to help, but only temporarily.

My sister's phone, also N910P, was fine until 5.1.1; then the same thing started happening to her.

I finally did a full wipe and flashed a fresh stock OS. It took me an entire Saturday, and lost me my root, but I highly recommend it. This phone is too good to be brought down by some sort of OS glitch. Now I've gotten the OTA, though, so I have to wait for a PD1 root.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poit:
Well, I gave up and did a full factory wipe through recovery (3 times data and 3 time cache just for good measures). I allowed google to reinstall all the apps, and restored most of the app data using Helium. Not too confident that it helped because I kept getting the same type of crash while restoring helium data. It took most of the day to restore things and it's still not totally back to normal.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maupaypes:
I have the same problem when I did the OTA update but first I thought I have a problem with my phone only me so I odin flashed PD1 and since then my phone is stuck at "installing system update" after odin flash. I took out the battery and anytime I switch my phone on it boots to recovery mode. Any help please? Would appreciate it. Can't use my phone.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poit:
Well, a full factory reset didn't help either. Thinking this is either an app that doesn't like MM, a bug in this implementation of MM, or my phone developed a fault at the exact same time it upgraded to MM.

Anyway, since it seems to happen most often either during or after I have listened to podcasts I'm going to switch podcast managers from BeyondPod to Podcast Addict. Did I mention I'm grasping at straws here?

my wife's phone has been acting up as well. I WAS an experienced flasher and all things android but i have since switched to iphone and now everything feels like a foreign language. She has Sprint N910P on MM 6.0.1 everything stock. Her phone will randomly reboot and it will completely shut off as if it died around 38%. I was going to try to root it and flash a new rom and/or kernel but I've read that's not working for some so Im at a loss on what to do or try.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poit:
You may have two different issues. The phone dying at 38% is often a sign of a worn out battery. It was with mine.

I've still been fighting the random reboots, although I haven't had one in 2 days now. (I probably just jinxed myself.) For me it seems to somehow be related to listening to music/podcasts via bluetooth. Still leaning towards thinking it's a wonky app that isn't properly written for MM.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cherylbaker:
Well i am really upset now. I started having this problem about a month ago. I was on ob7 5.01. It SEEMED to be related to google play services. I downgraded the service and things seemed better. But my apps needed the upgrade so i decided to just jump into mm. So even thoughboth Google and Samsung were suppose to be backing up my text mags i lost all of them. That would be fine if my problem went away but it dud not. Random reboots random freezes. Sometimes i take the battery out Causey it is locked up and it won't turn on at all or if it does it stays at the note 4 screen.

I am so annoyed is there anyway to find out what is the problem?

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
Possible if you didn't delete the Android folder coming from Lollipop; I'd suggest both Android folders be deleted but you should also wipe data and internal too (rooted users should read the 3rd paragraph). Many reported factory reset after MM update cured a lot of problems. ItsOn is so prevalent and pervasive, I'm thinking Lollipop remnants of ItsOn can pose problems for even un-rooted users. Need a clean break from Lollipop.

This thread is for un-rooted users (the remainder of post applies to rooted users) but one thing I found happening to some rooted users is remnants of ItsOn causing reboots if not coming to MM cleanly.

The ItsOn apk in /carrier/ItsOn will cause issues if rooted users factory reset and don't wipe data and internal.

(/ is root menu; a current rooted ROM or rooting stock may not remove these but possibly will on future ROMs; if you fully activate stock and not wipe data and internal memory, these remain and will continually try to reboot the phone to establish the ItsOn bootstrapper but the phone says it needs to reboot to complete activation).

Rather deceptive. But ItsOn and Knox just don't play nice with root; they have to go.

If you see this in hidden menu, it's an indicator you need to check for ItsOn and wipe. If you're wondering if you've activated ItsOn, check /data/local/tmp for an ItsOn log. Developers remove ItsOn but think about what you do after flashing a stock tar, boot and activate phone. ItsOn is a done deal at that point. Just wipe when rooting again.

Mine does it too. Just freezes then reboots randomly. I think it has to do with the sd card because when i unmount it i have no problem. I'm stock pe1. If anyone has a solution i would appreciate it.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poit:
Possible solution to my crashing...yes I'm still working on it. !

I've been reading about problems with Samsung's implementation of the music player, specifically problems with the variable speed option causing huge CPU usage. Since most of my issues happen during or after listening to Beyondpod I though there might be a connection. I turned off the variable speed option in Beyondpod and haven't had a crash in 3 days now.

It looks like even if you use a third party audio player it still uses alot of the base audio playback system from Samsung, and Samsung's implementation in MM seems a bit buggy. Perhaps this 3 month crash-fest could have been fixed by simply unchecking the variable speed option in all the music players.

Here's hoping it keeps working!

Edit, Well it started crashing again. Damn.
[Redmi Note 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] szaboarpad85@gmail.com:
Hi!

I recieved my Note 2 today. After unboxing, I turned it on, did the starting settings (google account, wifi, etc). After that the phone went to sleep, and that's where the problems started. From that time the touchscreen and touch buttons didn't work correctly. It's like someone is pressing the buttons continuously and because of that the touchscreen can't work, or at least not in every area of the sreen.

Did a factory reset, didn't work... It's all the same, even during the initial setup.

Videos of the issue:

Forum won't let me post is, but I can send it in a private mail I guess...

Anyone had an issue like this before? Is it a software related bug (there is some beta version miui installed), or is the device defected?

Any help would be appreciated!

Edit:

The phone was turned off for the night. I turned it on this morning and I could open up the lockscreen with swiping up from the touch buttons. After that the phone worked for like 3 minutes, and then stopped working again.

I was wondering if there is a solution yet how to forward Google Voice to Google Fi (even if it involves an intermediary).

I use Google Voice as my business number with a SIP phone at work and it also rings my cell phone when I am out and about.

I am tempted by Google Fi (currently on AT&T unlimited data with 450/minutes) but I can't just give up my Google Voice number, especially since I use it as my MAIN business number with a REAL phone.

Has anyone figured out a solution how to forward Google Voice to Fi?

Really? Nobody?
[General Questions and Answers] andTab:
I have:

Number A (current AT&T cell, forwards to Google Voice/Number B if not answered, willing to port to Google Fi)

Number B (Google Voice: rings BOTH Number A and my SIP phone)

I am happy to use Number A for Google Fi BUT

1. I want Number A to forward to Number B if I don't answer

2. I want Number B to ring BOTH Number A and my SIP phone (Obihai) if called directly

That's a very simple use case. WTF does Google mess this up?

Where's [MENTION=4287865]Sunderwear[/MENTION]? Stock tar for Odin, please?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] tx_dbs_tx:
Thanks for the heads up. It looks like the PD1 ota includes a new modem and kernel also. I'm gonna pull the ota zip and take a look inside and see what I can do with this. I'm pretty sure these new security patches can't be used to update custom roms due to the ota using scripts which patch a multitude of system apps, etc in the rom. So the only way to make use of this update before an official tar is released would be to unroot and install the ota then dump the rom and use that to update custom mm roms. I would mostly be interested in the new kernel & modem to be honest.

It's never a good idea to flash a framework jar from a previous software version. that file is responsible for a multitude of things throughout the rom. It's almost guaranteed to have new and/or changed classes that can cause problems in the latest software. so if you notice any issue in the future this should be the first thing to suspect.

hey guys.

so recently i installed an app called "kingroot" which helps enhance performance by rooting. Today my device ran out of battery and when i connected it to a charger, bootloader screen automatically appears and shows: 'boot-up failed'. I have not installed any custom ROM and the device was running stock ROM (6.0).

To be honest, I am not a developer and have no clue about this. all options shown in bootloader lead to a dead end. The battery won't charge and connecting it to my pc wasn't helpful either. All I want to do is run my stock rom, which doesn't seem to be happening.

I'm trying to find out why this is a problem and what's causing it. Didn't have this problem the first week though, but I factory reset it because of reboot problems.

Did you find something?
