Hi guys,
My phone is experiencing random soft reboots (reboots without a need to type in simcard PIN) during the day. It happens totally randomly, sometimes 3 times a day, sometimes not once in a couple of days. Sometimes when I use it, sometimes when it's idle on the table.
I'm running stock JB 4.3 A.1.205, LB, Towel-rooted, no custom recovery (I tried some previously and they were givig me all sorts of trouble, so I downloaded fresh official ROM and Towel).
I've been trying to track down the process that causes reboots, I temporarily uninstalled Xposed framework but it still ocurred.
Is this a known issue? Is there a better way to check what is causing that (perhaps in some log file)?
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Michal

Try with hard reset or try to flash another stock ftf
Thanks, but the reset doens't seem to change much, it occurs anyway.
I'd rather avoid changing rom again, as I said I just recently installed clear stock offcial rom via PCC and only towel-rooted it.
Any ideas how I could try to track the fault process?

I would have said it´s because of the xposed framework if you haven´t said you uninstalled it once. I had the same problem once, and I was kind of sure that it´s because of some gravitybox settings which gave trouble.
I recommend you to uninstall the xposed framwork once again, reboot and give it a try

Well, I'll give it a go, however I did it before and the reboots occurred anyway... I'm now slowly uninstalling all the apps one by one to see when this craziness stops
I'm starting to suspect that it's a fault of Google Play Services, they're always on high positions in my Wakelock and Battery Usage lists, I heard people are also having some other problem with this app.
Edit:
Another thing is that I try to modify something in AppOps (I'm accessing it via some shortcut apps from the Store), but I cannot change permanently any settings (I click back, then enter again some app and it's all 'allowed' again), is this normal?
I'm digging up an old thread, but I narrowed down my problem to Stamina Mode, I think.
I wiped all data via factory reset, reinstalled clean system via PCCompanion and only townel-rooted. The soft-resets began to appear again shortly after first boot. I tried to eliminate differet things and it seems that the reboots occur only when Stamina Mode is on. I've switched it off like a week ago and the phone has been running smooth ever since.
Now I'm just asking out of pure curiosity, has anyone ever stumbled upon similar problem? Is Stamina Mode known for causing any issues of this kind?

hi all, my phone has numerous problems and nothing seems to fix the phone, so ill sum up the issues
none of my apps work, ALL of them force close as soon as they are opened, I've tried factory resetting the phone, but after the reset the apps are still there with the same problem. The same things happen after i do a hard reset. I've tried reflashing stock and non stock firmwares and nothing fixes the problem, my phone is basically useless.
Is there any fix to this?

I don't know what your warranty situation is, but if you can flash back to stock, I'd take it into an AT&T store and see if you can get a warranty replacement. It's possible there may be a fix to your issue, but if you are in a position where you can just swap it out for a new phone, that may be your best/least frustrating solution.
Have you tried going into mounts and storage in cwm formatting everything and then flashing?
My phone is out of warranty
and yes i've tried that but still no luck :/

When you flashed to stock, did you do a Master Clear also? It sounds like a software issue and should be fixed with a complete system wipe.
I'm going to assume you used some type of backup " tibu " or something similar before you did any flashing ? If so did or how did you reinstall your apps and data ? Cuz if you install system apps plus data it would explain why all your apps are force closing. Only install missing apps plus data.
Do the ethical thing... Go to at&t and claim ignorance to the problem. Always works out.
A week ago I noticed that after my phone's battery was drained out it reset itself. Every app datawas deleted permamently. The phone acted like a new one. The only apps that were untouched were system apps. Some of the apps installed a previous day were also deleted but its data stayed untouched in /data/data. I had to move these datas one folder up, install these apps again and then move datas back to use the apps just like the day before. But this case with datas happens only for the "uninstalled" ones, the rest of the apps that were not magically self-uninstalled were reset to the state when they are just installed.
About 20 minutes ago it happened again. But I noticed how my phone acted before the battery-drainage death. It dropped just to 2% and then suddenly switched off without any information about "shutting down" or anything. Only the LED blinked 3 times but nothing else... I plugged my phone to the charger and switched it on and voila... it was turning on for about 3 minutes nd everything is reset AGAIN.
Is anyone able to help me? I use .141 FW but this happened on .140 too. Also I have DooMKernel v7 flashed...
Tapped from The Bond Phone!
I have similar problem, after doing many restarts with usb dis/connections, partitions remounts, etc.
I have endless bootanimation and from log I can see that IMEI has 0 lenght and ATcmdfwd service won't start.
Manual factory reset solves it. (I learned to make backups with titanium every day)
Sometimes this happens after shutdown without notification.
Also using DK7 and my rom.
What other mods do you have same as I do?
No serious mod installed at all. Only DK7 on stock ROM and nothing else. I'm really worried because it never happened before, my phone was shutting down with an information and everything was ok. But for a week I was insanely careful not to discharge the battery completely because I didn't want to restore old backups again... but I was curious if this happen again and my thoughts became true...
Tapped from The Bond Phone!
Hmm, so I am suspecting the kernel. I think I will try to return to v5 for a few days.
Maybe it is caused by the Dynamic file sync.
Try everything stock , stock ROM ,stock kernel ,no mods at all. See if it still happens.
Sent from my LT30p using xda app-developers app
Try flashing a other kernel if that does not maybe trying a different ROM will work "cough" cm10.1 "cough

Thanks for the tips! I discharged my phone again and this time it shut down at 4% but with the notification so everything is ok this time but earlier I uninstalled Kernel Tuner and these two resets happened with KT installed. I've installed it again and I will drain the battery another time and see if this was a cause.
Tapped from The Bond Phone!
Damn, guys... my phone did that again. I'm on XperimenT 3.0 ROM and I was playing Galaxy on Fire 2 when I fell asleep and my phone died. I woke up, turned it on and it was like waiting in a huge queue for about 15 minutes and voilà - everything is reset to stock except from all messages were kept, all accounts were kept, all setting were kept. This is pretty annoying as I don't want to do a backup every single day...
Is anyone still able to help me? If this problem persist I will be thinking about selling this phone and moving to another and I don't want to do this because for now it's a waste of money for me...
Returning to DK v5 solved this kind of problem for me.
Hey,
I just noticed that when I'm pressing the screen with one finger, then trying to hold another finger while still holding onto the screen, there is a small delay in recognising the 2nd finger...
This only happens after 30 minutes of usage, as the multitouch works just fine for a while after powering up.
The delay is not that much, but is enough to not recognise when I'm simply tapping the screen, which makes it impossible to play games like fifa 14 properly, since I have to hold down the button for a while to have a response...
I'm currently rooted, on stock 12.1.A.1.205, on the stock kernel.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Yeah I also have multitouch problem.Can't play games that require multitouch(fifa,mc5 etc)
I think it is hardware problem
Quick question dude...did you try a factory reset?
I'm thinking of trying it but I don't want to lose my data without fixing it...
Can anyone confirm that this is a hardware problem?
I have the same problem, and I'm sure isn't a hardware problem because it started when I updated the phone to the 12.1.A.1.205 version.
I also have a problem with the back key, it works for a couple of clicks and it stop working until I press the home key. This happens after the update as well, before all has working fine. It's annoying!

I thought I was the only one with the back key problem. The multitouch one I never tested.
This is why I moved to CM11 (also because of ThemeChooser :silly: )

Sorry to ask this, but, what is CM11?
CM11 is a custom ROM (basically a whole new operating system). And it's based on android 4.4.4
I used to be on CM11, it is so good, but I prefer Sony's UI.
Also, thanks for the help. Since this isn't a hardware problem I'll try a factory reset and see what happens...

I don't think factory reset would work because I keep flashing different roms with complete wipe.
Apparently a factory reset didn't help...neither a firmware upgrade...
So it has to be another thing causing it....
Any other ideas?

Bad news with the reset then
I had to reboot my phone in safe mode (I think this is the name in English, "modo seguro" in Spanish) and the multitouch seems that doesn't fail in this mode. So I think is some program that is loaded with a normal boot which is causing the trouble.

Hmm But there are programs that start automatically. I killed every process I don't use, and I'm testing if it works.
I'm fresh out of a factory reset, so I don't really have any apps installed except titanium backup and es file explorer. I also killed every app except the ones that the phone needs to work properly....still no change.
After a random amount of minutes it works fine, without doing anything...
Also a question: How did you test it in safe mode? You can't have your downloaded app on safe mode to test it..

It's funny cuz the multitouch thing is actually working, but you have to hold the screen to do so not tap it. If u tap it it wont recognise ur finger
Any one got something before I actually give up on this?

The weird thing is that after rebooting from the safe mode to the normal mode and kill every app in execution that I don't use, it works. The multitouch and the back key is working. I have no idea what to think.

Sad news...
After trying everything, from settings to scripts and touch boosting apps, I left my hopes on changing the ROM i use...
I had a stored backup of my 4.3 stock rom in the past. I restored it today and the problem persists...
I also flashed a fresh new build of cyanogenmod 11, which I used in the past aswell. No help...
I can now conclude that this is a hardware problem.
But what I don't understand is...why does this only happen after 30+ minutes of usage of the phone?
I mean it works perfectly fine on games when I start up the phone...
Thanks to everybody for the help...

Have you tried this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48066948&postcount=6
OOPS that's for unresponsive touch, sorry
So lately I'm getting this weird error wherein after the battery drops below 30% and if I try to call or if I receive a call, the phone restarts itself. And after restarting, it completes boot animation, loads "Starting Apps" screen and after that screen just goes blank(ie. Pressing any button is futile at this point of time). This keeps on repeating itself. The only workaround I have found to it is to connect a charger while restarting. After connecting charger the phone boots itself (instead of screen going blank) and works normally.
I'm currently on Cataclysm 6.0.1
Kernel : Elite Kernel
Multi ROM : Installed.
Xposed : Installed
I've tried various kernels and various ROMS combinations (except the stock ones) but the error keeps on repeating itself.
Any help appreciated.

an error is when an error screen appears, you arent having an error. first thing first though, completely get xposed off your phone, completely, reflash if need be. i bet this will fix your issue. whenever weird issues appear, and xposed is installed, most likely its xposed.

Hi thanks for replying. I've followed your instructions, however the issue still persists.
So this is my current combination
Benzo ROM : 6.0.1
Kernel : Default
Multi ROM : Uninstalled
Xposed : Uninstalled.
The only change that is left to make is to change the recovery from Multi ROM to TWRP.
The most weird part of this problem is that as soon as I make a call or receive a call it restarts and enters into a black screen. However as soon as I connect charger it works normally. That is what bugs me the most. Also my bootloader and Radio are the updated ones. And I checked if there was a log in /sys/fs/pstore but there isn't any.
Please suggest.

You're probably not going to like this suggestion, but here goes. In order to confirm or deny a potential hardware defect, you probably should go back to 100% stock. Fastboot flash the factory image for MMB29K. IMHO
Your issue is most likely multi. It has been known to cause random issues.
Your best bet is to make it do it again and grab a logcat or kmsg

I'm willing to do that, but the problem is as soon as I connect it to the charger or USB on my laptop to take out log via ADB it acts normally. So, I believe the log will come out normal. Now the only option left here for me is to Factory Reset, and see how it goes.
To be honest, I never faced this issue while on 5.1.1. This just started out recently. Anyways, thank you.

There are apps out there that will do it without being connected to the pc. Try one of those. If it was me I would just drop multi rom all together. It has never been completely stable and most likely never will be.

I've dropped Multi ROM completely. The issue sad-fully still persists. I have even deleted Kernel Control Apps and any apps that revolve around Root. I really am not aware of what I should be doing next other than formatting and just hoping nothing worse happens. Also could you name a few apps that could take out logcat even while booting. In a surprising twist of events, now as soon as I hit reboot on the phone, it enters into bootloop and does not return back to normalcy, until connected to a charger or PC via USB. So I guess, I could take a logcat. Thank You again.
Hey folks, first thread ever, I really need help with this troubled N910T, DOK2, Android 5.1.1
Whats wrong with this phone:
The contact app will stop everytime I open it, since contact app is combined into Phone app, so the Phone app will also stop everytime I click on it. However, the situation will be fixed if I change the locale to English. (The phone belongs to a Asian friend)
One of the instant message app, the Wechat, similar to Whatsapp Messager and Facebook Messager, will not receive any kind of notification, at all.
The phone's battery drop from 50% to 1% then turn off itself in minutes.
The last two problems may be unrelated issues to the first one, and that is not the main reason I'm really here. I have ODIN flashed the latest firmware over 10 times and all THREE of the problems still exist after all that.
And whats bothering me is that ODIN flash firmware WILL NOT FACTORY RESET this phone, that doesn't make any sense to me. Please let me know if I make a mistake about that, because every other phone or tablet I have worked on before will always be factory reset after flashing a OEM firmware.
I have also flahed TWRP and wiped everything from the System to the internal storage and reflash the firmware but the problem is still there.
sort of things have been done to the phone may have something to do with the problems:
installed the zips I got from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...pt-touchwiz-bloating-script-222-apps-t3258537
it debloated the phone.
the phone was lost in a rainy day, found again two days later. Remote lock and wipe preformed via Android Device Manager but the wipe process never go through.
Please let me know if the phone is worth saving at all, I have spent days in this phone fixing and researching for solution. I found no similar issue around here, and the phone is out of warranty.
Thank you and please let me know should I throw this thing away.
Battery needs to be replaced. Are you sure you flashed right firmware for 910t not 910t3?

Many times already.
If you haven't done so, you may want to do a clean install which means wiping system, data, dalvik and cache at least three times in custom recovery such as TWRP. Then you can try ODIN baseband, bootloader, rom and kernel (if rom doesn't contain one), custom recovery. Next you boot into customer recovery again and do a factory reset and that should do it. Let me know if that helps.
