Just wanted to see if this has happened to anyone else. It was either after root, or after installing Xposed, or after installing SuperSU and disabling KNOX, but occasionally my device just resets. It at completely at random times too, but usually it does a quick freeze before it happens. For example in the most recent occasion I closed a tab in google chrome, then it lagged for a second, then just reset. The time before that I just swiped my homescreen to the left and it did the same thing.
Actually mine was doing this before I rooted. Had to be an app we have on our phone or something.

Strange.. I wonder what I installed.
It happened again today, but this time I was driving in my car and it was sitting next to me with the screen off, then suddenly I notice it's at teh AT&T Logo rebooting.
This also started happening to me after rooting and installing a few mods e.g. Xposed, Viper4Android, etc...it hasn't happened since I tried switching to ART (it didn't want to switch, but all sorts of small things were fixed)

Just had my first forced reboot this morning. Cant really believe it happened since im not running a custom rom. Onlything ive done of running the phone for 2 days has been rooted it with PwnMyMoto, installed Xposed\MotoXposed, and froze MyATT and Visual Voicemail apps with Titanium Backup.
I have pretty much The same setup and i had one reboot and im sure it was from zooper widget ...never happend again since i uninstalled it

Also had 1 reboot while checking a very long email chain in Gmail with lots of embedded images. I'm pretty sure Android does this as a safeguard when the system is overloaded in some way. Don't think it's an issue.
Had one while poking at Greenify. No issues since that point and I've poked at Greenify plenty.
Random reboots have been a thing since my first Android phone. Hasn't gone away since.
Just noticed my first random reboot. Phone was sitting on my desk sleeping then it randomly rebooted.
Barely installed any apps, running stock rom unrooted unlocked.
I've had this issue with my Samsung phones in the past, too.
Is this something I'll just need to live with? Is it a software or hardware issue?
Had one while on call yesterday
I get reboots in my vehicle all the time. At first I thought it was Drive assist or whatever so I disabled that. Turns out my Bluetooth is the culprit. I can't really narrow down what specifically makes it happen, but it only reboots when I'm in the car. I expect it now and wait for it. Annoying.
I've had 2 random reboots so far, unfortunately this is a somewhat common issue that should be improved after an update or two.
Last night I was at home and noticed my wifi wasn't on, so I used the quick settings in the shade to toggle it. After a few seconds, wifi connected, and some unknown app took focus and closed repeatedly. After a few moments, it stopped and all was well.
I thought it was strange, so I turned wifi back off and the same thing happened. I rebooted, tried again, and got the same result. I was trying to think of a way to see what was happening, so I tried using the Screen Record function in Gravity Box, which didn't help much, because it happens so fast, and no info is displayed, just a black window that goes away quickly.
I then turned on the CPU usage in Developer Options to see if anything consistently came to the top when toggling. I saw a few apps each time Plume (Twitter), and Maildroid (email) were two of them. Both of these apps behave differently on wifi and 3G/4G (push vs. pull), so thought -maybe- it could be something with that. I uninstalled both of those, rebooted and tried again, getting the same result.
I recorded the screen when this was happening with the CPU usage displayed, and was wondering if anyone has any ideas? I don't really want to uninstall and reinstall EVERY app on my phone, so I was hoping someone may have seen this before or see something I'm missing when watching it happen.

Thanks for any input anyone can offer!
Do you check virus from your phone ?
I am also having this, seems to be due to 4.4.2 OTA, which I continue to delay as I am rooted.
Mine doens't only happen with wifi change, but also just randomly when using hangouts, keyboard stays out but hangouts min -> maxes quickly. I have tried freezing the update apps but it apparently didn't do anything as I was still asked to update earlier.
Only hangouts? I have that app disabled.in the app settings.
I can't say for sure that being on 4.4.2 fixed it, but I am on 4.4.2 now and it is not happening anymore.
I unlocked my bootloader and did the 4.4.2 SBF, unlocked and rooted. I installed probably 99% of the same apps (only ditched 1-2 that I never used anymore) and I am not having the flashing issue anymore.
Hard to tell for certain if the pending OTA was the cause, but it may have been.
I've been experiencing this strange issue that I've never seen on any phone before. Nothing has happened recently to coincide with this.
The animation where the app shrinks away and then is replaced with app I'm fast switching to appears, except the same app comes back, as if it was fake switching apps. I don't do anything to cause this. It just randomly happens quite frequently.
Any thoughts?
Stock 4.4.2, rooted. Xposed. GravityBox

Temporarily disable Xposed / GravityBox and see if these issues disappear. Post back, and we may be better able to help you troubleshoot the issue.
I temporarily disabled GravityBox and it was fixed. Great, right? So I enable again and it still works. Awesome! Fast forward to this morning, it's back. ?
Has anyone else had an issue on the S6 Edge with the Pandora app not responding? Nothing I have tried has stopped the issue. Sometimes it will play for a while, but as soon as I turn my screen on it will freeze up, slow down my whole phone and then eventually just either stop running altogether or will display an ANR. It was doing this when I had the phone completely stock and still does it after I have rooted.
I have uninstalled, cleared application cache, cleared phone cache, changed settings with data and nothing will fix it.
Any insight would be great.
Thanks
I also wanted to report I have the same issue but I have the HTC M8. I don't think its specific to the S6.

chiming in from VZW G3, can confirm it is not limited to only the s6. I had freezing on both 5.1.1 AOSP and 5.0.2 stock rooted.
If you’re acquiring issues for the S6 Edge with the Pandora application certainly not replying, often times quitting your current application, re-opening that and also going back to http://www.pandora.com for your best suggestions.
I have had an issue when running my Pandora as well. It makes a crackling sound if I'm scrolling or touching the screen while it plays and then after a few of those crackles it just starts emitting this horrible high pitched squeal until I hit the back button enough times. Even then if any sound comes through the phone like a notification or incoming call, it starts again until I reboot it. I've had the phone for less than 24 hours...
S6 here and Pandora problems as well...just stops responding and I get the wait, report or OK prompt.
Thing is, it worked fine at first and my phone had not been updated, so I'm assuming at some point Pandora updated and fubard it.
Hope there's a fix soon!
I have this issue as well on a Nexus 6 pretty much every time I use Pandora. I've never had a problem in the past on any prior phone. I haven't seen many other people talking about this so I have kind of assumed it's related to Lollipop and having a lot of apps installed or something (worth noting even if I remove all apps from recents and reboot it still happens).
So frustrating. At least I'm not alone.
My phone has recently developed this problem of constantly restarting apps while I'm in the middle of using them. It's not specific to any one app, I've had it happening with every app I've used today, like Twitter, Chrome, Shattered Pixel Dungeon, Quickpic...
I've read about the issue that Android System Webview is causing with this device and uninstalled that, but the issue persists, even after a few reboots and some time being completely shut off.
I haven't made any changes to my phone lately, but I have noticed that my battery has been draining more quickly than usual over the past couple days. I have not been using it any more than I usually do. I do use Clean Master, which I also tried uninstalling, but with no improvement.
My phone is completely stock. I have no problem rooting it if necessary, I just haven't had any reason to with this phone. I've been pretty satisfied with it until today.
Update: The screen will sometimes turn on by itself. Not to the home screen, just the lock screen.
