Boot is sticking at the splash screen. - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've got this little problem, if I reboot using Autoreboot (from the play store) or via the extended power button menu the phone reboots as normal initially but then hangs at the 3 network logo splash screen, where it hangs for around 30 minutes before finally turning on properly. Turning the handset on and off normally works perfectly however.
Is this a problem I've caused?
I'm running 290 Fw, UB, Doomlords kernel.

Look like some incompatibility to use the Autoreboot, he maybe doing something wrong. It's nothing wrong what you did, is just the app. I will suggest to use different application and see if the issues persist or even do not use Autoreboot because to me the phone should not be rebooted every day at all.

Thanks for the reply, I'll try using a different app, I have to reboot everyday unfortunately. If I don't the phone goes mental, starts freezing and jumping around, apps force close and it doesn't respond to touch or physical buttons. Rebooted once a night and it runs perfectly and I can't fault it.
I'll see what happens with another app though.

boot screen

hello my galaxy is developed a fault . i charged it overnight but when i went to power up in the morning it will not go past the S the screen goes black nothing else ...bricked big time kies will not pick it up on usb ...
So you see the connecting dots that make the S on the boot screen or is it all black before you see that?

Did the same thing to mine. Twice now in fact
The first time, factory reset fixed it though I had to re-install everything (thank you titanium backup).
That was caused by un-installing the one-time lag fix app, figuring I didn't need it once it had made the changes. Apparently I did.
The second time (the next day), I achieved the same result trying to re-install the default calendar app (which I over-zealously un-installed removing the samsung bloatware). Factory reset didn't fix that one, currently about to try my first firmware install (going for 2.2 while I am it, 'cos hey, phone doesn't work anyway, right?).
Both times, boots up to S logo, but sits on that animation for a bout 30 seconds, then screen goes black (button menu and back buttons light up if you press them, so the phone is still "on").

I am also experiencing the same issue..
appears to a common problem if it occured to more than 3 units already.

use the three buttons combo and go into recovery mode , using volume button for up/down select factory reset and this should fix it.. but all ur contacts and stuff on the device will be lost.. only the stuff on the internal sd card will not be lost

Sliding won't work anymore

Hey guys,
I could need a bit of help! It's now the third time I'm having this problem, don't ask me why. I've got the feeling that I read the whole forum here, but didn't find anything similiar.
The 1st time I didn't change anything (ok, rooted it, but nothing else)
The 2nd time I overclocked it slightly (~850-900 MHz)
Now I'm using MIUI.
But back to the problem:
I'm unable to use the keyboard, every time I'm sliding open the keyboard (even when it's turned off), it "crashes". The screen stops working or it freezes, the only way to turn it off is taking out the battery.
However, the bigger problem comes now: I'm barely able to restart it. It tries booting, but is restarting all the time or the screen is just turning on (in some angles you see that it is turned on but it's black). After many retries, it starts working, sometimes the bootloop is running 15min or i have to manually restart it 10 times or more. The strange thing is that the keyboard works fine, nevertheless I have to choose between using it opened (taking it with me becomes difficult ) or closed...
...the main problem now is flashing a new Rom, I'm currently trying it through the android sdk and adb, but using the power-button + x is easier
I don't think that I can solve the problem, I sent the device two times back (warranty till may 2012), but maybe someone here knows a bit more. My guess is that one of the sensors is broken, or some parts of the display that should manage the sliding process...
Anyway, thanks for your attention!

Tried to use one a time ago, but it wasn't working right....
However, now I'm not even able to boot it, the screen just flashes and turns off itself before trying to restart a few moments later....guess I lost my Milestone
Sbf back to stock?

the computer isn't finding it anymore...I'll back up the data and try use my warranty... I hope that they don't complain about MIUI...
But I'm still not getting the point, why my mobile had these issues three times, although they "repaired" it twice...and nobody else is having the same problem

Weird problem with GT-8190L when trying to root, install CWR/TWR or custom ROM

Hi hello howdy!
I'm going to skip the foreplay cose the action here is pretty weird and you'll want to get right in, trust me.
I've a Galaxy S3 Mini GT-8190L, that reboots itself, after it has booted up, and I entered the sim pin and lock pattern I've from seconds to 5 min of grace before the phone restarts itself. I have tried two different batteries and the problem persists. I went and decided to rule out hardware problems (power bttn) and after some tinkering, ruled that out too. So now my best guess is firmware.
The phone is not rooted, does not have recovery mode installed, and is running stock 4.1.2 jelly bean with TouchWiz, no mods, no hack-y stuff, your old regular samsung s3 mini.
I tried installing CM11 with odin, and didn't work. But not because odin threw an error, no, that went on perfectly according to the program. But when the phone booted up, the rom was still stock, nothing changed, and it rebooted itself briefly. Weird. So then I thought "well, maybe at least the recovery mode is there now" since it supposedly was a package install. But no, when I tried to boot onto recovery the phone gets stucked on the boot screen with the samsung brand and model of the phone, and then restarts itself, this happens like four times and then the phone boots normally, the OS starts, everything loads and then goes on to restarting. So this was not a solution either.
Next I though, well lets just install the recovery, no, that didn't work, odin said that the install was successful but it was not. Tried with odin 3.04, .07 and .09, tried CW and TWR, neither of them load, as before, when trying to boot to recovery the phone displays the splash and the reboots itself like four times before starting up the OS.
Next I though well, lets try to root this thing, at this point I was just trying anything to see if anything sticked, but nothing, tried SuperOneClick, and no. Wanted to try TowelRoot but that uses an apk. I tried vRoot against my best judgement, but that didn't work, but not because of the reasons you might think, it did install, the phone managed to stay on for enough time for it to get running, but when it restarted, there was no app there, it was as if nothing was installed just a few second ago. I thought "huhh? That's really weird". So I went and did some testing on this matter.
It turns out that no matter what I do, I can install an app, delete 5 apps, change settings, and nothing sticks, when the phone restarts it goes back to the way it was, its like the phone lost the short memory and its like that Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore's movie, 50 First Dates. The phone rollsback to the state it was when everything began.
I even tried to change something quick, and restart myself the phone to see if that would make the change stick, but no, that didn't work either.
So, I came up with a brilliant idea, look up a similar case on internet, 'cose you know, it has to have happened to someone else before me. But this is so weird that looking it up is a challenge by itself. I tried a few things here and there but nothing does it. So now I'm here writing my sci-fi story looking for some feedback on how can this story be ended without killing any of the characters, I want everyone to survive and work again. You know, happy endings.
Any ideas on what can be the problem? Seen anything like this before?

phone turns off by itself

Hi, this happend already to me few times so I decided to put it on here.
Sometimes when I pick up my phone and try to unlock it nothing happens, fingerprint and button all the same it looks like it completely Off. Then i have to press few times a button to actually start it and it's booting. There is huge battery loss after it boot up. See image.
I am in Stock 4.0.2 no root just few standard apps installed. Nothing fancy. This happend already few times to me. I left the phone locked and when I want to unlock its dead. Also it is behaving weirdly, when I turn it off manually I just need to press longer a button and it's turning on, but here I need to press it few times to work.
Does it happen to anyone else?

Honestly, there's not enough information to understand exactly why it's happening. You need to get a logcat in the time before the reboot; unfortunately, logcats get erased during a reboot so it might be a little tricky getting it if the reboot is seemingly random. Someone had posted this as a possible way of getting the log:
"Retrieving the logs is tricky, since the log cache gets erased on reboot. If the phone reboots even while sitting on a charger, try running adb logcat continuously (you will need Android SDK and USB drivers installed and configured on your PC.) When the phone reboots, look at the last several pages in the command prompt window for any errors or abnormalities."

Otherwise, it's hard for anyone to help. I'm not much help in actually figuring out the issue, but I know if you can get the log, someone else probably can help.
For more information on logcats: Logcat Tutorial
Yeah I was trying to connect it to PC but nothing, so it is turned off. I will try next time to run command when turning on, maybe there will be something but I do not see it working before it gets erased. I was hoping that anyone else is having this problem so it might be rom related. It is completely random so you can;t guess when it happens.
I had it only few times so it's not super annoying but still it is not normal behavior. In addition it is weird that battery went from 55% to 33%, just phone reboot will not drain that much... I hope there is nothing wrong with the phone itself.

Check in advanced to see if schedule off is on
Nope it's off
Happened to me to on 4.0.2. Rebooted twice a day.
Solution to me was Qualcomm flash back to stock 3.5.1 and uodate from internal to 3.5.4. OTA 4.0.2.
The theard "how to unbrick".
Not one reboot until now in days.
I think I found a culprit responsible for it. It is Hill Climb 2 game which doesn't close properly sometimes and I think it causes some kind of crash in the system. Is it possible?

It's possible. Not necessarily the reason, but it might be. Either uninstall the app or freeze it using Titanium. Greenify might also work, but that allows the app to start itself up and potentially continue the issue. See if that stops the crashes for a couple of days.
The problem is that it doesn't happen often and only when I quit the game and lock the phone immediately after that. I am not sure if that's a reason though, just guessing because it happens after this last time. I will uninstall this game anyway, it's just time eater

Note 4 Reboot Problem with Weird Temporary Solution

I'll try to make this short.....
I am using N910T3. Phone was charging in car while using (stop by roadside). Out of sudden it shutdown and went into reboot loop and the phone is extremely hot. I took the battery out for soft reset and try to turn on again. Phone will freeze at different screen (Lock Screen, Home Page, Samsung Logo, Powered by Android) and give two separate vibration before reboot.
I thought it is battery problem so I bought a new battery to try, but still the same problem. So I went on to backup all file before I perform hard reset. While doing that, I find out the phone can be use for longer before reboot if it was stay off for a long time. So I have this crazy idea: put it in a fridge. Surprisingly it works! The phone will not reboot anymore and I can manage to backup all file before doing anything else. Also, the phone will not charge if you plug in right after a few reboot.
Then, along with the fridge method, I perform factory reset through normal android setting. Now it will just stuck at powered by android screen while in reboot loop. I then try to flash with Odin, multiple times. Flash by Odin is complete, phone restart, then it freeze and reboot, at different screen (Installing system update, Erasing, powered by android).
Out of frustration I try with the fridge method to flash, and IT WORKS AGAIN!!!. The phone can now boot to welcome screen where you first setup your phone. However, it will then freeze again and reboot while doing so.
There was only this one time, where I left the phone off for a day after flash with a previous stock ROM, turn it on and skip as much setup as I can, finally reach the homepage screen, then will stay on without any reboot issue. I thought I finally fix it. I then power off the phone, put in my Sim Card and SD Card, power it on, then again, reboot issue appear.
I tried flash with latest stock ROM, previous stock ROM (one updates away), flash any stock ROM with pit file. I sometimes will get error code on device after flash (can't remember the exact error). I also cannot boot into recovery mode without flashing a twrp. Sometimes if success, I will get straight to Lock Screen without going through the phone welcome setup process. But again, none of these I tried can solve the reboot loop.
I may went too far and mix up all steps to the phone. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? Or is my phone, as I believe, has a faulty motherboard that cause the reboot loop? Thanks in advance for reading through my problem!
Hello there, I had a Tmo Note 4 which I loved it until the end, it's a hardware problem and there is no fix for it unless you replace the board, by the time you buy the board and what you need to pay for labor you're going to expend a few hundred dollars, I also tried the freezer method but it finally the phone gave up, it does not turn on anymore. That was my experience. Good luck bud.
