Random Reboots - T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Note 4 has been randomly rebooting lately. Just today it's happened at least 3-4 times randomly throughout the day, even when I wasn't using the phone. Is there any way to pinpoint what exactly is causing the random reboots?

Sounds like a kernel issue, have you tried a different one?

Has the OP rooted his phone? Not every XDA member roots,

Would flashing another kernel help? Sorry I should've included more info! I currently am rooted and I am running rapture rom which is based on stock NK4. Other than what the rom has to offer the only other mods I have installed are surround sound, camera quality mod, & xposed framework

I think that may have been it actually. Crossing fingers! Removed it & so far haven't had any reboots

Most likely Surround Sound Mod, a lot of reboots, hang/freeze issues associated with Surround Mod....
Good luck....

Just got a random reboot.

I was in settings/storage, and tapped on apps. The phone lagged then opened the apps section. I tapped the back button and then the phone shut off and restarted. I am rooted, twrp recovery, but using the stock rom.
Has anyone else experienced this at all? Wondering if it is a widespread thing, or not.

Cool story bro
I've been getting way too many random reboots. Something as simple as turning off wifi or turning it back on will cause it. I'm not sure why it does it and I'm fully stock, unrooted. I've seen suggestions about clearing the cache and I've done that, but the problem continues. I'd say it does it on average once every couple of days.
Now that's a cool story, bro.

That stinks huh?! Unfortunately though if you wanted someone to truly help figure that out you'd want to have a Log of some sort

Have you tried just saving all your stuff and wiping the phone clean and starting fresh?

I've thought about wiping and starting over, but I'd rather find out that it's a known issue with a fix before I go through all of that work. It's not like I've been flashing ROMS and messing around with the radios or anything like that.

I didn't think about that until after I posted. I totally spaced on that.
I was more wanting to know if it was a widespread problem. I didn't word my post very well.

Hey it's all good! I wasn't scolding you or something.. I've been there myself. Hop on here and try to explain something that just happened with my phone and while I'm writing it... Think to myself... Guess a log would have helped lol

I mean there is no way for me to tell that your sound issue isn't related to you dropping your phone.
It happens to me too, on stock as well. Thought that was normal

I meant on stock software, I usually run custom ROMs.
I thought it was normal, maybe a lollipop bug or something, but IDK. I'm usually on BT so it doesn't bother me that much
I have volume fadeout problem in all ROM ( Stock, CM12.1, Chroma). I try a lot to find solution at all, I think very few people having this issue, and no developer noticed this problem with here device.

It is a known issue. You can RMA. There are several threads about it.
I RMAed my phone when it was doing that and the replacement one has been perfect ever since.

So was mine until it got to 40% battery. See link above. Maybe you could do some tests
You mean you're replacement has started dropping audio also? It does appear to start from 40% onwards for me also
I was thinking of getting it replaced

Videos of Keyboard Lag

I managed to upload some videos of the incredibly annoying typing lag I experience on my Note5. I've got the running process showing and you can see how weird the keypresses get at the end of each one.
Here they are:
https://youtu.be/eQ-HgtMmCFg
https://youtu.be/yW970htrhU8 (Note the touches keep going while all keypress popups and text entry stops.)
https://youtu.be/NRuLXa6m3mA
Does anyone else experience this?
Here http://i.imgur.com/6zcUZ17.png is a nice screen shot showing just how annoying the overlaping stuff can be.
Any help is appreciated.
I know it's annoying having an issue list this out of the box, but no one claims Samsung is good a developing software. I'd say go for a 3rd party keyboard. I'm using Google's and it's smooth as butter.

Lol whoops. I wasn't able to watch the videos at work and I just assumed it was the Samsung keyboard. Hm. That's strange. Have you tried booting into recovery and wiling your cache?

Wow. I'd say root and flash a ROM and kernel, but if you're having these issues while stock, who's to say you won't have other issues after rooting? Unfortunately I'm not sure what else to do. Sorry, man. I hope you get it worked out.

Hey First of~~ Mine is s6e+ I have heard that issue from s6e+ users too(with swype keyboard). I would suggest you to turn off keyboard Pop upping but that would be odd If you like it..(I like when it pops up)~
Im using Touchpal for long years, and can prefer you to try(If not) and recorded a >>VIDEO<< to show how it works on mine anyway.. Lol ignore the background music etc.. Good luck.

Well that certainly looks a lot better than mine.
I'm assuming you're rooted? If so, what Kernel?
Thanks.

I tried but couldn't find anything.
as far as i know it has to be adjusted in the app itself. i could be wrong tho.
we got 9 icons showing so be creative
it's a bummer that's bothering me 2 so if anyone knows a solution.
thanks anyways.. by the way, you're on b564 and does the battery get hot even when you're running 1-2 small apps?

Antutu Score

So I benchmarked my phone and it was sitting snug at 5th place in the ranking. Upon testing a few days later I saw that it had been replaced by the SM919, and I wondered "what is this device?" but whenever I look it up the only result is the Galaxy S4 and I know it can't be that. Could it? Anyone have any answers?
S4 is SGH-919 I bieve...this is a Chinese phone

It's cool, I took back 5th place for ya

Yeah I knew the real model number, but it was so similar I wondered if AnTuTu had mucked it up. Thanks for clearing it up though.

Try closing all your apps first,that will help some but there will be variances....run a few back to back
