Just received my OTA upgrade.
Everything went well up to the point were it says - Android is starting. It counts up to 51 and then says Starting Applications and then immediately (shown for half a second) - Shutting Down.
This goes on and on every time I restart the watch.
In addition, it gets so hot that I think it will melt.
Any ideas how to fix that?

I'm experiencing the same issue. I hope that someone has some ideas on how to fix it.
Let it rest for an hour. Then try again. Works for me.

As above. I think it's heat related. I had similar when I was flashing the stock images from scratch. I let it cool down then boot it up again and it was fine after that.
I am sorry, but nothing helped.
Sit and Wait didn't help. Waited over night, same result the other day.
I also wiped the watch from Recovery. For just one time the watch started and demanded more at least 20% power, so I charged it and moved on with the configuration, but all of a sudden the watch turned off.
Since then, after several wiping tries, I had a new behaviour. Watch started with the 4 colored dots, after about 2 min just turned off without showing any other display.
Any other ideas?

@super_joe any luck?
The sit and wait method ended up working for me as well.
I too had the same issue. After restarting the watch it kept shutting down. Then as last attempt I kept the watch on charging cradle and charged the watch. While charging the watched booted normally. Then found out battery was at 3%. But oddly before update it was 98%.
Anyways now it's working normally.
there is no consistent way to charge the watch anymore without overheating?
I have the same problem
Same problem here. after running fine with LeeDroidV2. But after the battery died it wouldn't fully start anymore.
Thought it was heat related too so I put it on the A/C fan. Still switches off. Gonna flash stock and will report back
I can't get it to work. It says "Starting Apps" after loading them (38 of 38) and the "shutting down" Just flashed stock 5.1.1. Any ideas?
finally back alive! I don't know what the problem was. When it finally booted without shutting down, the battery was at 2%. Even though it was on the cradle for 2hrs.

Hey.
My diamond is acting strangely. For example, right know it's on but later on today or during the night it will turn off. And each morning I have to take out the battery out for about one minute and then press the power on button to get it to start up. If I don't take the battery out and I press the power on button it doesn't start-up. It just remains off. Sometimes it just gets stuck at the start-up O2 screen. But after a few tries it starts up normally and works.
I don't want to have to do this each morning, like I've been doing for the last several days.. Has this ever happened to anyone else? Anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks.
no but I've been having a similar problem lately, my diamond seems to shut itself off almost right after WM boots. I figured it might be a battery problem because it seemed to happen only when it was running off the battery or right after I disconnected it from the charger so I threw on nuePowerCPL to check battery levels, disabled the backlight power management and it's been up and running for 2 hours straight ... when I exit neuPowerCPL I get a voice command error that says voice command had a problem starting, please re-run the application and the phone freezes. Totally stumped about the powering off though. It may have something to do with the power management, I think it seemed to happen most when the screen tried to shut itself off, not always during that time though. I've reflashed telus(my provider) shipped rom a few times and tried a few other roms, reformatted my internal storage, hard reset etc. Any help would be appreciated if it saves me a few bucks on a battery.
quick bump, i'm completely stumped here. I booted into the latest android image from MrPippy and the phone doesn't restart when it's unplugged like in winmo without the battery monitor running(in winmo my phone will stay on till the battery is completely dead, showing good power levels, only if the battery meter is running, otherwise it restarts within a few minutes regardless of if I'm touching it or not.).
So it works normally with Android?
Then it's seems to be a problem with Windows.. Have you tried flashing another ROM?
Goodluck.
Also, an update on my situation. Thankfully it appears to be working normally now. At least if during the night I turn it off and take out the battery. There hasn't been any unexpected shutdowns since I left the battery out on Sunday night. Tonight I'm going to leave it on, to see if leaving the battery out all night actually helps, or it just is suddenly working properly.

Yeah, I've tried running a few different stock roms, a few off ppcgeeks/everythingdiamond etc, re-flashed spl once or twice, repartitioned/formatted sd card. Even tried leaving my battery out overnight. Was thinking in a frost-free freezer, in a bag of rice tonight ...
):
And how would that help? lol

If there's any moisture in the battery the rice will pull it out and the cold helps arrange the polarity in the battery ... You never used to put dead batteries in the freezer to bring them back to life when you were a kid?
Well, no. I've never heard about that before. >.<

Didn't work anyways. I just read another thread about a hard reset solving this but ... I've gone as far as completely repartitioning my internal storage + hard resets and that hasn't solved it. When I throw a multimeter on my battery the voltage is constant/consistent. At a total loss. As far as I can tell it seems like a blackhole in my battery between 0%-60%. Seems that once the battery drains itself to 60%, it's more like it's drained itself to 0%. When I plug the phone back in after it shuts itself off the battery is always reading 0% NOW, when I started troubleshooting this crap a few weeks ago it would power off any time (battery @ 94%) and I would power it back on to see windows reporting the same battery levels as when it shut off.
Update: I did a format w/mtty a day and a half ago and my phone hasn't restarted since (besides me restarting it, read ahead). The phone seems to be working fine for the most part but it seems the battery readings are never updated, it will sit w/an icon that says 94% in the taskbar all day, when I restart it it jumps down to 59% and stays there all day until another restart. Seems the only time I'm getting a reading from the battery is on first boot. Doesn't restart now though!
Good.
Unfortunately for my Diamond had a blank black screen when I turned the screen on this morning. ): After a couple of soft resets and after flashing another ROM it began working correctly. I'll see if it does the same tomorrow. :/

Which ROM had the problems? Which is the new one?
I have the same problems with EnergyROM (September 20 release). My current guess is WM6.5 not working properly with power controller of Diamond.
Could be. :/ The first time it gave me problems I had a WM 6.5 rom, and this time I had also flashed a WM 6.5 rom.. When it re-began to give me problems it had BOGYSOFTS V6 ROM, I don't know about the first time. Now that you point it out all the times it has given me problems I had a WM 6.5 rom, but maybe it's just coincidence..
Now it's not even turning on. If I press the Power On button and leave in it's pocket after a while it becomes somewhat hot... I don't know what's up. :S
This randomly started happening to me about 4 months ago. I was out at some clubs and whenever i checked my phone it was off! I thought it was a battery issue at first as thats what it seemed like.
I think I just hit the phone on the soft part of my leg pretty hard a few times. I havn't had any issues since.
Hey guys I am new to this forum.
My S3 mini been running stock android 4.1.2 for over a year now with no issues. Yesterday the phone just reboots by itself and the battery went from 60% to 14% in a second. Then the phone got stuck in a reboot loop, I had to take out the battery to make it stop rebooting every second. I tried charging the phone all night, for 8 hours, got 10 minutes of usage out of it before it started rebooting again and the battery inexplicably jumped from 90% to 14% ! The phone is only usable when plugged to the AC, basically not a mobile phone anymore.
Did a factory reset, Thought it might help, it didn't. The phone works fine when plugged to the AC, it only starts rebooting a few minutes after I unplug it.
Help please, should I get a new battery?

Update:
After replacing the original battery with a new one the phone went back to normal function. Also , when removing the old battery I noticed it's a little swollen.
Thanks everyone for the help.
I just got my moto x 2014 pure edition. I charged it to 100%, did a software update to 5.0, then tested the battery by letting it stream a radio station for about 4 hours. The battery was still over 60% after that. I turned off the streaming radio and left the phone on my desk. An hour later it was shut off. Thinking maybe I turned it off, i turned it back on, then checked the battery status. Still over 60%. I put it back down on my desk. when I picked it up 5 hours later it was shut off again. Is there a power setting I missed that tells the phone to shutoff after a set period of time?
No not that I am aware of. Shouldn't shut down like that.

It was annoying last night - before shutting off it would reboot, causing the bright white light to light up my bedroom - being half asleep I started walking toward the light it thinking my time had come...but then I realized it was just the moto x rebooting itself. I was a bit disappointed.
After rebooting it shut off. I tried to do a factory reset, which seemed to be working but then Andy fell over with a red triangle sticking out of his chest and the message "no command" over him. At least that stopped the phone from rebooting itself and shutting off itself. After I woke up Andy was still prone with the red triangle sticking out of his chest. I shut off the phone and rebooted. It appeared to be back to factory reset because my apex launcher was no longer active, but I discovered that all my apps had been downloaded and my email address was still active.
I did another factory reset which seems to have worked. So far, 4 hours of idle and it has not self-rebooted or shut off.
the problem came back. It got worse, with the phone random booting about every hour. 1.5 hours on the phone with Moto help didn't resolve the issue. Phoned ended up being stuck on the screen with Andy on his back, a red triangle above his chest, and "no command" under him.
So back it goes after just 24 hours.
I've had the same issue with my phone randomly turning itself off. It's rather annoying.
I'm not sure what's going on with my watch -- it'll be perfectly fine for a handful of hours and then it will start rebooting over and over again. Sometimes the screen won't even turn on while it reboots - I have to hold the power button down to get the screen to come on and show that it's rebooting.
When it goes into the bootloop, the watch gets noticeably hot to the touch. Not scolding, but it worried me enough that I took the watch off to let it cool down. I thought it could just be a software issue so I performed a factory reset on the watch -- alas, still having issues with it. I usually recharge overnight and while I used to have no issues making it through the day, my watch was dead before 4pm today (less than 12 hours).
Before I reach out to Samsung, does anyone have any other ideas on things I could do to troubleshoot?
I have the same Problem. Did you find out why?
My issue resolved on its own after awhile. My watch has been fine ever since. Maybe water got in it and once the water dried it was OK?
Hi guys,
My Watch Sport seems to have developed some issues in the last two days.
The screen wouldn't come on (I don't have always on turned on). I restarted it, and it was ok for a couple of minutes, then the same.
I turned on "always on" in display settings to trouble shoot, and the same thing happened - only now, the screen was frozen when it stopped working.
The watch itself seems to be running as I noticed some battery drain even with the screen off.
I did a factory reset from the UI, not luck. Did a wipe from recovery. Same issue.
Has anyone had a similar issue before?
Thanks for your help!
Update - The problem still exists, but I narrowed it down.
I turned off the watch, fully charged it and powered it on. Turned on everything that could be turned on and let it sit on the table. Checked it every now and then, it seems to be working. Ran the battery out, recharged it and did the same for about 2 more cycles. It seemed to work. The only times this 'freeze' happens is when I wear it, which got me to thinking it's probably the hear rate sensor. Opened Fit and started reading the heart rate - if it's not on my wrist, the sensor just keeps going on for a minute or so and then turns off. But if I so much a put a finger on the sensors, all it takes is 30 secs, and it freezes.
Let me try to get some logs over the weekend.
For anyone that's wondering. The watch is alive again. After about 4 months of collecting dust, I figured I'll boot it up and see how it holds up.
Turned it on and charged it for a couple of hour, then the latest Wear OS updated was pushed - a couple of them actually.
Let it sit in the cradle for a day, and wore it, without expecting much. Been about 5 weeks now. No crashes or freezes. Battery lasts much longer - about 2 days with LTE & NFC off.
One thing to note though. Up until a few weeks ago, I used to charge it via usb from my desktop. Since the last reboot, I started charging it using the wall plug.
Not sure if it was this, or the new Wear OS that fixed the issue, I'm glad it's working again and I don't need to go back to my Gear S3 and Tizen *cringe*
