My phone randomly rebooted around 4 am this morning (mountain time) The only way I noticed it was I was looking at battery stats and there was a white gap or is there some other explanation for that? I have not seen this before... stock no root no unlocked bootloader.... kind of weird no?
how are we supposed to know why your phone rebooted? you provided no info besides that it rebooted around 4am. no logs, nothing. my guess is that a spaceman came and made your phone reboot, just to watch the google logo as its booting up :silly:

No, definitely not a spaceman... Not in mountain time
If I knew how to provide logs I would have, guess I'll check with the spacemen and see if they have them. Thanks for the help, you can close the thread......
My phone used to reboot 2-3 per day. I removed the Amazon app and it hasn't rebooted since. If you have that app installed, uninstall it.
My phone had random reboots before, but it went away.
Today i had a freeze again, before a reboot happens i cant wake my phone up . So i tired the power button like 10 times. It came back on, stayed on lock screen for 2 second and everything went black. Had to turn it back on.
Its like a deep sleep of death. I don't get notifications or anything when this happens, but my Moto 360 somehow stay connected but cant do any voice search.
This i how i usually discover the problem. When i want to do some OK Goggle with my watch and it does nothing... Checking my phone and its always dead.

hey guys, I don't know what's going on with my S7 but yesterday was working fine and out of nowhere everything started to FC! From twitter to "Google Services Framwork", Gmail, browser, tweetdeck, calendar, voice, I can't pretty much use it anymore, I haven't done any new app installations so i don't know what's wrong! is it just me, or anyone else having this problem??
Any help will be much appreciated!
Thanks
That has happened to me 4 or 5 times. It's like half of the device gets erased but the apps are there. Everything force closes. I end up having to erase the device and re-install everything. Reboot into recovery if you can't figure it out and format the system and data. For some reason when i do that, i keep root. Not entirely sure how that happens, but one less step for me. I think root is power and one of the volume buttons.

ha! i remember I already did that. After the Update we had, and I exchanged mine for a new one I decided to stay with no root (i don't know why! lol) so I guess I'll reset everything and go back to root I figured at the end I was gonna do that, but I was trying to see if it was just me or there was a fix
thanks man!
ok, so since yesterday I've been trying to factory reset the DS, and when it boots back on, everything stays the same!
I'm a little confused now, if I take a picture and I turn the tablet off, when I turn it back on, the picture disappears. Same thing happens if I move widgets, delete or create new ones on the screen, they go back to as the configuration was on friday night! GV not working, and the last message that shows there, same thing, shows the last one on friday. I don't know what can I do.... should I call dell??
duck tape and dynomite
stupid thing started crashing yesterday FC this and FC that ....cant restore it as i no longer have write access to the internal sd card
1) tried nv flash
2) tried restoring from clockwork
3) tried pushing files through adb
4) tried fastboot ....
if i didnt just dump money into this thing id blow it up ......
any help would be appreciated.......any tips to fix it or kill it completely so i can get another one
actually deleted all of the files on internal sd card and uninstalled every program on the device looked completly stock ....rebooted it and it went back to how it was yesterday ......theres gotta be a reason why other are having the same problem that started on the same day .....maybe dell pushed an OTA update and screwed us ......just a thought cause mine was fine till i went 4g yesterday so my sis could post facebook pics ....not sure but hope we can figure this out
Samething happened to me
Hi, did you ever find a solution? my streak 7 was ran out of battery, before it shut off, the screen started flickering and then it turned off. after it came back on, it looked like it was fine, everything looked normal, but then everything started force closing, haven't found a solution

I'm running stock, and I discovered the hard way that you can't let the S7 battery run all the way down. The S7 will not power itself down in time. I had the same issue, and the only way around it was to do a complete factory reset, using the menu button from the main screen. I think the reset is in the "About" section, but I don't have my S7 with me now.
Being used to WM6, which powers the device down at 5%, I was not expecting the device to do this, but there it is.
dell streak 7
im not sure if I am the only one with this issue you but becareful with the streak 7 mine well both of mine wont charge properly and the newest one wont charge at all. i have to send it back to dell for them to fix it. Im not sure what cause this but my only advie is to never use a different charger for it only dell chargers. Im guessing that it messes up the battery callibration and then it gets really hot when charging
This is the LG REV. Great phone. I have it rooted, and several things frozen via Titanium. So, its been a few days, haven't downloaded anything, all my songs are good from before I rooted, no issues. This morning, my phone was off. My wife didn't touch it, I didn't either, I got up and the alarm was supposed to go off at 430, but I was up at 5 to check it. So there is that. Then I was driving, and Tune in Radio lost its connection, so I made a call to the wife to say hi. Ended the call, and went to turn on the radio, and it stalled so bad, I had to reboot. Well when I booted, I lost data connectivity. I booted, battery pulled, and lost it for about an hour. Finally I booted, called the wife to see if it would bring data back. It didn't. I rebooted again, and then hit Google Maps, it took a second, but the satellite popped up, and boom there was the data stream. What do you all think?

As for the alarm:
If you have a task killer/manager/stopper whatever it is....make sure you have the ALARM ignored/excluded/blocked/etc.
Also...make sure you didn't freeze your alarm or the alarm widget with TiBU
I'm having major issues with my revo today. I went to bed last night with the phone on the charger after using it with no problems. This morning The alarm did not go off and I woke late. When I checked the phone, it was a blank black screen. No response to anything I did. I did battery pulls and it would seem to boot up, I'd get to the Verizon LTE screen and it would go black and just vibrate occasionally.
I did a factory reset and now it boots to the Lock screen but when I unlock it everything is blank. No responses to the buttons.
I received a phone call and was able to answer it, and now I can make calls but only from my contact list not from using the dial pad.
I'm off to the Verizon store fora probable replacement.
I have had some similar issues. I held out on taking it in to try cubed's rom but I'm still having issues. I have had a couple mornings that my phone was off, as well as a few other times it randomly turned off. A couple times it was while on a walk using SportsTracker. Three times when receiving a call the phone froze up and vibrated constantly for several seconds until it rebooted. Finally, I've also had a few times that data randomly stopped working. Guess I'm going in for a replacement today.
Yah, I think I am going to unroot and hang on that for a few days, and see what happens. I have had data hang ups the last few days, programing stalls. I have had to do battery pulls and all that fun stuff.
Okay, so my phone has always had weird problems. But just today, my phone started running slow out of nowhere and then froze on Instagram so I took the battery out. I then put the battery back in, and I wasn't watching the phone and every time I picked the phone back up, the screen was black and would't show anything. So, I thought it was just like when that happens and all I do is reinsert the battery and it works again, but it wasn't. I did it again while watching the screen, and when i watched it, it would boot up with the LG logo, then turn black. Then reset itself, LG logo, then black and stay black. So then I put it on the charger and restarted it thinking the battery was dead. Same thing happened. I then used my computer to reflash the img file, no difference. I then waited like 3 minutes and tried to restart it, then it got to the sprint part for like 20 secs, then turned black. I write music and have a lot of lyrics in my phone and a lot of images I don't want to lose. I'm tempted to do the TOT restore to see if it fixes anything but this problem is ridiculous. Any help?

If you do the TOT restore use LGUP because lgflashtool will probably wipe your stuff.
I would not waste time with a restore. He needs a new phone. sprint will replace it.
recommend going to a corporate store.
You are so negative. Why not just try it once?
Something is wrong with your phone. This is an AMAZING phone.. either do a TOT restore or call it into sprint and get it resolved.

I had this issue with 2 G4s. It is a hardware/sprint software issue. They will replace phone for free.

It's a classic problem with the hardware. And even if it did revive it, it will crap out again in a week or a month.

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.

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.

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
I'm just putting this here to hopefully help someone else not lose their mind after a bad December update. I just got my OTA for my 4XL on VZW about 40 minutes ago. MY PHONE JUST BOOTED.
After applying the update and the phone restarting, per usual, I noticed the lock screen was super sluggish and intermittently not responsive. More concerning still, it said my PIN was invalid, which I KNOW it wasn't. So.... I rebooted. Just held power for a second, and clicked Restart in the menu. That may have been where I went wrong. For the next 25 or so minutes, I had nothing but a black screen. No sounds, no vibrations, nothing registered when plugging into my PC. Even holding the power key for 30+ seconds or attempting safe mode or bootloader did not work.
In retrospect, I am now considering that even though the phone initially rebooted and was at the lock screen, Android may still have been in the process of updating which could cause the slow down and maybe even the invalid pin. Mostly, I think that may be what happened when I rebooted the phone, I basically did it in the middle of it finalizing the update which very well could have caused all sorts of issues.
TLDR: I don't think I did anything to fix it, I gave up after 1000 times of trying and set it down, then about 5 minutes later (off the charger) it just started booting up. So don't throw your phone at the wall if it doesn't turn on right away after the update.

I am not rooted. Gave up my rooting back when it made Google pay and Pokemon Go a complete ***** to use, even with magisk. So I've left this stock out of the box.

Hey got the same issue as you. Either it's stuck on a black screen (adb works), either it hangs on Applying update when starting the phone. Can't seem to get past this crap... I'm trying with a patched magisk image btw, not sure if it's the issue, I already applied the magisk adb commande in order to remove the magisk modules but to no avail.
