[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michjfro:
Hi all,

I have a vanilla, unrooted tablet which had Marshmallow installed a few weeks ago. It reboots constantly (like I am lucky to get 2-3 minutes out of it). Sometimes it reboots 7 or 8 times in a row until I give up and hold the power button down.

Have cleared cache and factory reset (multiple times). This hasnt solved the problem. I thought this might be an issue with the Google Play Store, as it generally crashes as soon as I run this (as the first thing I do after the reset) - so after one of the resets I downloaded the latest playstore APK and installed it. Also did not login to the play store in case this was corrupted or something. Have tried this without loading ANY apps other than the stock that comes after the reset - but still the issue persists.

All of the above has been done with the SD card removed - and with full charge

Generally it crashes as soon as I try and run any app or go to settings etc. This is even with the completely factory reset and wiped tablet with no additional apps installed.

Having tried everything, am down to the theory of hardware fault - specifically the battery. After the last update (which failed half way through) I had big problems with battery life and the tablet got (and still gets) quite hot. I am thinking something in the new update might have put extra stress on the battery, which after a few weeks has caused it to fail.

Is this possible, and is there anyway in logs etc to tell if this is hardware or software?

Anyway, other than throwing this away and buying a new one - am not sure what the next step to solve this is. (Maybe revert to previous Android?). Any suggestions or help is welcome, but I am thinking of throwing this away and not throwing good money after bad...

(Have emailed Samsung but of course never heard back - so suffice to say my next tab wont be Samsung)

I solved this prob yesterday, itb works fine nw, didnt crash since, just open the tablet remove the basttery vlean its pins then reinstall it

U can find vedios explaining hw to remomve z battery
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michjfro:
OK - have updated firmware with ODIN (and tried 3 different versions going back to Android 5)

Have undone the back and removed battery and reset cables. Even replaced the battery with one I bought off Ebay

Cant think of anything else, must be a fault on a board somewhere...

I think she is dead. :crying:

Thanks to those who posted and sent me PM's - really do appreciate it.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michjfro:
By the way, it is definitely something to do with the power. When it reboots and it is attached to a USB, the screen flashes up with the empty battery (ie charging from completely empty) symbol momentarily (maybe a second or 2 tops) before flashing up with 64% or whatever the actual battery level is...
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beut:
If your battery can go from 0% to 64% in a few seconds, the battery connector needs to be resoldered due to cracked solder joints.

This rework only takes 5 minutes , ask a repair shop or anyone knows how to solder for assistant.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Greendrake:
I've been doing some research on using an Android phablet as both a mobile device and desktop computer. Basically this is what is needed:

Ability to run desktop environment and applications. Already not a problem with linuxdeploy or similar;

Ability to connect external display, keyboard and mouse. Whilst connecting the latter 2 wirelessly is acceptable, I certainly want to be able to use wired connection for external display — HDMI or something else.

The second requirement seems to be either tricky or not possible to accomplish at all with non-stock ROMs. Is it true that no custom Android ROM allows wired connection of external display, like MHL/HDMI or whatever?

I am also aware of Ubuntu Touch but it seems not to support wired external display either, all the more so it won't allow to run Android apps.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bitcloud30:
So once in a while i reboot my tablet for optimizing purposes however when it boots up to android is starting.. It reboots again then hangs for a few sec and poof "Android process has stop" then its normal again.

Unlocked: yes

Rooted: yes

custom rom: yes - just the optimized rom with blob(pushed with fastboot)

Kernel: stock

Anything that i did wrong why it reboots again?
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KentuckyGuy447:
Did you flash anything besides the stock optimized(excluding the dtb?) Also do you wipe dalvik cache when you reboot, as I can't figure out why your tablet would be optimizing apps everytime you reboot?

Questions aside I would do a system, data, cache, dalvik cache wipe in your custom recovery and reflash the ROM to see if that fixes things. Just note to backup anything in your internel SD card if you decide to go the full wipe route instead. If you do a full wipe you'll need to flash the ROM from a external SD card or a USB via OTG.

Just a small disclaimer I would note to know what everything is doing before following my suggested potential fix if you choose to go that route. I'm guessing you do but just a friendly safety precaution!
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bitcloud30:
Gapps(open) and the zip for xposed, respectively, thats it. Every week i purposely restart the device so everything is in good condition.

I did that before i installed the rom and etc. All the files where in the SD card am not putting any flashable files in the internal.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KentuckyGuy447:
So you are using the Optimized Stock ROM from GtrCraft correct? If so I will tell you right now that Gapps does not need to be flashed with that ROM as it comes preloaded with Gapps and that could have possibly caused these errors(Any devs, correct me if I'm wrong here.) I would wipe system in that case, reflash the ROM, SuperSU, Xposed in that order and see if the problems exist. If that doesn't work I suggest doing what I suggested in my first reply. Android OS can go a little haywire over the smallest things and it seems something you flashed caused the problems you are having.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bitcloud30:
[MENTION=6421639]KentuckyGuy447[/MENTION] will try that very soon! Yes that is the rom that i am using. No doubt about that but it lacks a more information about the rom xD, any how. Thanks for the help :). I didnt know that in the first place cuz it didn't say anything about Gapps thats why i DL right away and installed above it.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KentuckyGuy447:
Yeah I understand where your coming from. Just as future reference any ROM over the size of 350mb usually has a lot going on behind the scenes. I would try my suggested fixes and see if they will work. If not just notify us in your thread and I'm sure someone with more knowledge as I will try to help. Have a great day friend!
[T-Mobile LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
If i were to guess it is due to the aftermarket battery being 2 batteries in series and one of the two is failing, i haven't had a similar experience in android nor seen the icon(s) you described before

But yeah, get the warranty exchange, probably best to stick with stock battery until then as well

Have you tried Titanium Backup?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Khixar27:
every single app and method

on stock rom it woulnt work so i installed viper custom and its fine now but i want super stock phone like ARDH roms not happy with heavy viper rom
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Aurelius99:
On your stock Rom with the custom kernel, was the kernel set to permissive or enforcing? Open a terminal window and type the following commands:

su

getenforce

If permissive is set you should have been able to use Titanium Backup to Freeze then Remove various system apps.

To set the kernel to permissive use these commands:

su

setenforce 0

To go back to enforcing:

su

setenforce 1

Get a terminal emulator from the playstore here....

Anyone here able to get 6hrs n above screen on time?

Please share ur setup n tips

Im struggling for even 4 hrs since i left lollipop n updated to marshmallow
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] agnath18:
Is your device rooted?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] mele80:
No......you can get 6hrs SoT by leaving screen on but dimmed lol.

But seriously if you can het to about 0-1% drain over night(8hrs) you can get to over 4hrs SoT.

Maybe greenify and amplify can help prevent drainage and stopping wakelocks, but they require rooted phone.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Dusky_Nembrotha:
I get around 7h 30 SOT on rooted .185 firmware. Just using a few simple tweaks - Greenify, Amplify, Endurance

[Xperia Z5 Compact General] jomkingal:
I can get to around 6-7 hours SOT not rooted, stock everything. 40-50% brightness and Wi-Fi on. from 100-0 charge.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] sheraro:
if it's not too much asked, can you share with us ur configuration in amplify ? and what is Endurance ? can you share ur setting for that too ?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Balaram12:
yes it is

well i get around 3-5% drain overnight on xpower 4 with androplus kernel

no wakelocks and i am using those apps

but i just cant get to 6hrs

z3 compact battery was the best
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Balaram12:
i was running same like yours

but after few weeks started to only get 3hrs plus

so i rooted n went custom now

Amplify: http://xdaforums.com/android/general/guide-extreme-battery-life-t3095884

this post has some useful tips for which wakelocks to kill. It varies from person to person and I have not implemented all of these (particularly I haven't killed all the GPS wakelocks as I used GPS a lot).

Greenify: I do use 'aggressive doze' and 'shallow hibernation'

That's it - If I put my phone in airplane mode overnight I get less than 1% battery loss!
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] mele80:
Thanks for sharing, i will givit it a try.

I guess kernel application like kernel adiutor is useless with this?

What governor do u use? Deadpool/excalibur/dragonfly?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] mele80:
Even dragonfly made my phone quite laggy. Maybe i will give it a New try with androplus or stock kernel later

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Nitemare3219:
It sure does, but I remember reading on Reddit earlier that HDR+ was not being utilized by accident at some point on the 6P. So I wonder if that shot from the 6P used HDR+ or not... if it did, that's a huge increase in image quality... like, best low light smartphone camera in the world quality. But if the 6P didn't use HDR+ in that shot, then the comparison is useless.

Thought the VR that you could get was just for the s7 phones…. Still glad I got the second sd card instead cause I didn't use the vr I got for my s6 edge plus much got it free with the 100 offer they had with Samsung pay. Which I will also miss…. Man this sucks.
