Hello lads! The last few days I have been trying to fix a huge problem with my Galaxy S4 i9505. I had been using the Google 4.4 rom for almost a month without any problem. One day, when my phone was low on battery it shutted down and I plugged it in my charger to power it on again. When it turned on I was prompted to the screen you see when you use the 4.4 rom for the first time. I had all my apps but everything was resetted. Every setting, all the app data, messages, etc. I thought this was a one time thing so I used about an hour to get everything back to normal again. Then the next day, same happened again. Phone turned off because of low battery, and everything was reset. I tried to google it but with no luck, so I did a factory reset and flashed the newest Google rom (4.4.2) with a new kernel called Ktoonsez. Got everything back to normal again and used my phone for a couple of hours before it just suddenly shutted down once again, but this time with almost full battery. When i tried to turn it on I was stuck on the Google loading animation and had to reflash 4.4.2. It turned back on and this time I decided to let the phone stay stock to see if any of my problems was caused of my apps or settings. It lasted for 2-3 days before the same thing happened again... I tried to flash different modems, other roms and firmwares but nothing have helped so far. I am also prompted with a message each time I turn the phone on which tells me that com.android.phone has stopped working. I have tried several factory resets, wiped dalvik, wiped cache, but still has the same problem... I have now given up trying and wonder if anyone of you know what I can do to fix the problem? Any tip is much appreciated and I hope to hear from you! Thanks!
edit: figured out I posted this is the wrong forum as this is for s4 active and i have a i9505. Sorry! Anyway, please comment if you know how to fix it. Thanks!

Hello!
I'm having a problem with my S3 mini.. it restarts by itself with no apparent reason.. sometimes i'm not even using it, it's on my pocket and then I listen to the sound of the startup, when I pick it up, I note that it's a little warm, more than normal.
Sometimes the cellphone do this restart in a loop, as soon as it's finally ready, it turns off and then reboot again, all alone! When it starts doing this loop, sometimes it stops when I remove the battery and put it again after something like 10 seconds, but today it started doing it and didn't stop. Sometime, I try to use it immediately after it finish the boot and it freezes before I can get it unlocked, the screen becomes white like a watermark, and then, another reboot. It's always hot when doing it.
Today the cellphone did it something like 10 times in 20 minutes, one of this times it was working after 4 or 5 startups, I tried to take a picture and it did another reboot, and another.. and another! It stoped only after I punched the cell phone several times against a steel wall (yes, I was ANGRY!!!). I tried to let it 5 minutes turned off, when I turned it on again, it started the reboot loop again.
I already tried more than once to do a hard reset, I don't have many apps installed, I tried to uninstall all the apps that I installed when it started doing this. There is no regularity, it stays 2 days normal, on the 3rd day it shows the problem, and then another 4 days normal..
I have no ideia of what can be the problem!! The Android is 4.1.3 and it was not updated recently
Can someone help me?
Sorry about my English, I don't speak very well..

Hi,
Try to flash it again from zero.
Go to recovery
Do a real format data and media
reset / wipe date
Wipe cache
wipe dalvik cache
Flash rom
install Gapps
Wipe cache
wipe dalvik cache
Reboot system ( wait 5 min first boot)

So my One's battery died the other day and it obviously shut off. no big deal, I plugged it in and went on my way making some dinner. Then a few hours later I went to bed and turned the phone on and it booted up just fine. Then I went to set my alarm for the next morning and it reset itself. This continued endlessly. Reset, boot into android, sit for 30 seconds and reboot. I can get into recovers and was able to clear cache and what not which did not help. I also did a backup and factory reset, then restored with no luck. I ended up restoring an old back up which seems to have worked for the day. However I just flashed a theme and it did not take, so I cleared cache and now I'm in this same boot loop.
Any ideas? I'm using a Bad Boyz 4.4.2 kitkat rom. I've been using it since the beginning of the year with no issues until now.
Any ideas are appreciated.
Had the same issue, I uninstalled the updates for SuperSU and it worked.
I will give that a shot. Thank you
Well, almost random.
I noticed it more when I turn on the screen, input pin code, then it restarts. Not every time but frequently. It also happens when I am using it for a few minutes.
It started today.
I haven't installed anything.
And I'm on vacation abroad right now.
So I can't even copy my personal data to a laptop & restore to factory settings.
Because there's no external memo card.
Are you happy Samsung?
You've really caused a havoc.
Because I can't go on like this.
I need my office to navigate & communicate with people.
I can't have it restarting every 6 mins!!!
I cleared system cache from boot menu
II cleared apps cache
Still randomly restarting.
Hopefully somebody can help me. The reboots happen when i have the phone in my pocket and im walking around. I can have it out and use it all day and it wont reboot. When i do take it out of my pocket the screen is black and it takes me a couple of times to get it started. Seems like it's in a deep sleep and it wont turn the screen on.
I tried Factory Reset and Wipe Cache. Still happening.
My guess it's either a bad flash? or bad hardware
If it's a bad flash how can i reflash the phone?
Btw the phone is stock G955U
