[Q] Galaxy Note GT-N7000 crashing regurlaly how to find out the culprit?

My Note has started crashing regurlaly, I have had it since release and have a lot of software on it. I am not sure when it started happening but it is definatley getting worse as time goes on.
Is there any log file or event browser that can be installed to tell me what is causing the problem?
When I say crashing I mean literally crashing dead not a force close. I either find it in my pocket turned off and then have to hold the power button for an age to turn it on or sometimes it is sat on the desk and I suddenly hear the noise it makes when it re boots.
Any suggestions for finding out what the problem is that don't involve uninstalling software until the problem goes away?!
Thanks

Have you tried better battery stats? It gives a list of processes that have been running.
Definitely strange - do you have an anti-virus program you can run to see if it can help?

That sounds like a Sod (Sleep of Death) issue that's been reported many times b0t with no definitive solution of yet..
Some said changing modem helped, others with changing kernel or even ROM but no consistent solution across all users
Try to fix permissions through advenced menu in recovery but am afraid there is not much I can help with

Omfg, I don't think your alone cause I have the exact problems at times when the note just freezes up and you have to manually boot up...lets hope the upcoming pics update will solve this ongoing problem... I'm getting this about 3-4 times a week

it is starting to make the phone a liability as I keep finding it turned off in my pocket!
Is there no software that will produce a crash log of some sort?

this is driving me nuts. The phone is unusable.... is there no possible solution??
At this point I will try anything. It crashed during the night on Thursday, didn't restart and so there was no alarm and I was late for work!

Please post your current configuration Kernel, Anti Virus program if any, undervolting, overclocking ?

By any chance are you using easy task killer... if you are just change the auto optimize to nothing - I did that and it stopped sleeping...if your problem is persisting then you could just do a factory reset and use default settings...

My note recently started crashing as well, whenever i turn on my mobile data plan or the wifi it will crash right away
However this is ironic because when ever i put my mobile in charging mood than i have no problems at all.
So im thinking ,is this the battery problem or the software problem?

battery problem.Try to see what is the output of ur battery in full charge by messure it with electric potension meter (sry for bad english).
If the meter say less than 1850mAh in full charge than u need a new battery.

I customise my own clock face with hr,min&sec hand. It start show nicely as previous...... but after ard awhile, my clock face hand, all the hr,min,sec hand just hang there and not showing the correct time. Anyone having the same issue on this? :crying:

Having the exact same issue. Haven't had time to explore it any deeper, just changed it back to regular clock face and will go back once it gets better.

Same here looked at watch at 8pm and it said 130.

I was going to start a thread on this as well, noticed this one first.
Same problem, several times today - but only seems to affect Watch Styler screens. I switched to a stock one and no problems so far.

Same here. I am going to try copying the watchstyler faces locally to the gear's drive. maybe they will work better with a local install.

so I was able to adb into my gear, and ran the adb-shell command. when I do a directory list this is what I see. But I cannot see where the watch images are stored??

Rolled back my apk (losing the faces again - I'm going to start backing them u pnow!!) & no problems since.
I also noticed about 50% of my battery drained today, so I'm guessing that when the time is stuck, the battery is stuck doing *something* causing the drain as well. Only the 2nd time since I've had the watch that I've had this drain issue.

Ditto!!! lol

I unistalled the app from Samsung store, reinstalled it and seems to be working normal with my created faces. It was getting on my nerves too.

Mine has been hanging since the update as well. I have to either reboot my phone or disconnect then reconnect. boooo sammy!!! Get it together. On the brighter side my batter life has improved dramatically.

For me it's the Styler app (1.2?) How about everyone else?

I uninstalled the app and reinstalled but it worked for an hour or so. Back to hanging and losing time. Had to switch to stock clock faces till it gets fixed. Emailed the app developer about it.

That app is junk, I have completely given up on it (to me, it's really nothing but a gimmick anyway).
At first, I thought it was kinda cool to make a custom watch face to match my custom Note 3 home screen but then I realized the hour hand was never really accurate (as mentioned in another thread) and it froze up fairly regularly.
If that wasn't bad enough, battery life dropped quite noticeably in the watch when a custom face was in use. That was enough for me to learn my lesson.

Yep same thing here. Hangs up and won't advance the time. Very frustrating. I did not know about the battery drain though. I just got the watch and went to using a custom face right away. Will have to see how battery life is tomorrow without the app running.

You guys using analog or digital? Been using digital with no issues with hanging or battery. Perhaps it's just with the analog watch faces.

I've had problems with both styles hanging. Using latest version of the software.

[Q] gyroscope

Been looking all day, and can't find an answer. I've been trying to calibrate my gyroscope through GPS status, and a few other programs. Also tried doing it through *#0*#, and waving the phone in figure eights. It will calibrate just fine, but when I reboot the settings go away. Anyone have any idea how to fix it?

if your gyroscope is that far out of wack that you need to calibrate it, i think you need a new device.

I honestly don't think I need a new device. When it was stock it worked fine. But I'm on MLG deodex ROM now and that's where the problem started. I even tried nc2 international and dynamic but those all have the same issue for me. My screen rotation works fine. Maybe I meant to say compass not gyro. Not sure if they are one and the same. But when I use a compass app I have to do the figure 8 to calibrate it then if I reboot it resets it back to being all wonky. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Mine has never worked correctly from the beginning. It's a note 3 hardware issue. Replacement phone won't help. Here's a screen shot, just to make sure this is what your talking about. In the picture I'm not facing the direction it says.
Sent from my SM-N900A using XDA Free mobile app

Have you tried calibrating yours at all though? Try the swinging your phone in a figure 8 for a few seconds, then check it. If it works, try a reboot and see if yours sticks or goes wonky again.

Wife's Note4 screen stays on.

Hello and Happy Turkeyday to all. I have an issue with my wife's note. When she gets any notifications they turn the screen on and it doesn't turn off. I feel pretty knowledgeable about the android O.S. in a whole, I have my S5 rooted and running AICP. I just can't figure out why the notifications cause the screen to stay on. Has anyone else had this problem maybe you could help shed some light on my issue. Thanks in advance.

Is the phone rooted?

No she won't let me root her phone.

Same problem
I have the exact same problem on my Note 4 (N910F).
My phone is rooted and I have had the problem from the start.
I am also running a custom kernel now but the problem persists.

Any ideas on why this is happening anyone? I've got it to not turn the screen on for a notification but now it won't turn off when plugged in.

Turn off the lock screen notifications, or everything you can on the lock screen settings, most likely something is causing the screen to wake lock. My bet is the weather widget.

I just searched for the same problem on the Galaxy s5 and someone said to download wakelock-detector to see if it's an app.
Will keep you updated if it helps.

So a little update, so far, my problem seems to be fixed.
After the app told me that Dsploit was causing a lot of screen-on time, I disabled the app.
Haven't had it happen so far today so I hope this helps you too.

Can anyone else have other fix? I have new note 4 with rom stock and very few apps (5-8 apps)
the "Wakelock Detector-Save Battery" app requird root this not my phone so I can't root for now.

If you have very few apps installed, uninstall those apps one by one to see which one is potentially keeping the screen on. Otherwise, do a factory reset, clear cache; also ensure power button is sticky and is fully functional.

Thx, What I did in the end is disble a few stock apps (I add a pic)
And set the Screen time to 30 sec and shut down the deivce got the battery out turn on, set the Screen time to 1 min and shut down...
a few times in the end got it back to the time I want, all of this fore "soft" reset the database of the settings
..now for about a week+ the problems won't show again :highfive:

Boot into recovery and clear cache
or factory reset like everyone said

Great to hear all is well. Please tell me that you're going to root.

Screen keeps coming on.

Hi,
My Note 9 screen has recently started randomly coming on. Its not being touched or being moved just on my desk, im not receiving any notifications it just comes on and a few second slater goes back off.
has anyone else be getting this? im unsure what could be causing it.
Thanks

My Note 8 used to do that. I think it's the Aod That's doing it.

well if it fixes it in safe mode, what will it accomplish? cant stay in safe mode all your life. if factory reset dosent fix it then he should put it back in the box and return it.

I'm saying boot into safe mode,then,keep track of which apps you enable,perhaps one of the user apps is causing it.
Naturally,if you're in safe mode & it persists w/o re-enabling any user installed apps,then you have a defective phone.

not aware that safe mode allowed you to cherry pick which apps you wanted to be enabled or not. from my experiance, all user apps were disabled and that was it. What is doable in regular mode is disable all your apps and do the same thing enable or disable. but to me it would be much more conveniant to wipe everything. then if the issue is gone, reinstall app by app till you hit the culprit. but anyways to each his own.

because the feature he has issues with is a system level feature and i would doubt an app could affect it. and if a system setting was changed then wiping is a sure way to get that reverted.
just my 2 cents

Package Disabler Pro is a user installed app & it has profound effects on system apps functions (depending on what the user disables) ,so,that's where I'm coming from.
Using safe mode is a natural step in troubleshooting before resorting to a factory reset,regardless of what is assumed to be the obvious next step.

but it would also be obvious to the said user that if he or she would have disabled stuff in the manner you explained, they would not post here for help as it would have been obviously caused by his or hers own doing.

I am having the exact same issue this morning with my Note 9. I restored from my Note 8 backup, so I do have a lot of programs that have migrated over. I'll have to sort through them and see what I come up with. Hopefully, the OP figures it out and let's us know what they did.

This happens to me when I restore something and it's trying to connect to an old bluetooth device like my car. The car sees the phone as the same but the phone doesn't see the car as a paired devices so the screen comes on everytime it tries to pair

If you restored from a backup make sure you dont have any old bluetooth devices trying to connect to your phone
