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..

Since yesterday my phone has been acting in a strange way, after I downloaded the game Total Conquest it crashed and deleted all, was so called after a long time after he stopped getting time and doing it so I'm restarting in 30 min at 30 min, when I put it to load it crashes all goes and gets caught in the boot screen and it is warm. Already tried everything flashing the rom, put another room, did master reset, wipe cache, wipe / factory reset and it solved nothing. Would anyone help me?
Sorry my english
So my brand new 24 hour old Xperia Z1 will not start and only goes to a blank screen with the backlight on. It does show the SONY splash screen before this for a second.
The only way to shut it down is to do an up volume and on button combo or to hit the red reset button.
I've tried starting with the SIM and SD Card out but it doesn't seem to make a difference.
The phone has pretty much not been used at all so I am a bit shocked. Is there any thing I can try? It was working last night.
24 hours out of the box, just send it back for a new one.
even if its starts working again, for a £600 device I would just send it back and say you are not happy and want a new one

I went off and left it for about 10 minutes and it did finally restart. I suppose there is some sort of software conflict issue going on.
I did a factory wipe and it runs like lightning now. No idea which app is causing the conflict.

This is one of the fastest phones on the market and this shouldn't be happening. After I did my restore I set up again and synched and auto-updated apps and I had the same problem. I then tried deleting all of my uploaded apps one by one until they were all gone but this didn't help and the boot times were still about 5 minutes, often with the phone booting without remembering the brightness setting or even not booting at all.
So I did a factory reset again but this time did not account synch on setup or auto update apps and that seems to have fixed it for me. The phone is very fast and boots in under 30 seconds now, and runs without any lag whatsoever. I wish I could identify specifically what the issue is but so far no luck.
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!

Sorry for the repetition in the title but that's what happens.
If I switch off the phone, when I switch on is fine.
If I RESTART the phone, a few seconds after the lock screen appears it restarts again. This can go on up to 10 times, the a notification of a system error appears asking to report to HTC.
I thought it was a problem with the low battery, as the first time it happened my battery was low. But then it happened again with full battery.
This is getting quit annoying. I have not tried a factory reset yet as I haven't had much spare time lately...
Any fix for this?

well first thing to try will be a factory reset! backup your files and try it.
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
