Phone was great for five months. Then no longer sent MMS messages. I cleared cache and forced stops. Still problems. Then other apps began acting odd. In my search to fix the issue I found factory reset. I backed up my information then went for factory reset. Two hours later ...? Phone is black and unresponsive. Any thoughts? Occasionally a screen appears that says START or BOOTLOADER ... but I cannot select them. Humph!

So I've had some weird stuff happening the last couple days, which is to be expected since i've been experimenting with JPH, OCLF 2, and Rooting.
Now, last night I decided to flash back to JG8, re-partitioned, then factory reset. Then I flashed JPH and factory reset. Now after I got all my apps setup again, I thought I was good, but decided to reboot once more. Upon reboot, everything looked like a normal boot, but i was greeted by a phone in a semi factory reset state. By that I mean, everything looked factory, but if I went into manage applications I could see the com.blah.packagnames of some of my apk's i had installed, but none had icons, and they all showed 0 size.
The only possible reason I can think of for this to happen is that I rebooted while my phone was plugged into my pc, and while odin was open (although it was not doing anything at the time).
I'm kind of afraid now of having my phone randomly go back to basically, factory defaults on its own. Has anyone experienced this? Is there a good explanation? If I can reproduce it, I'm happy to avoid it, it's the lack of predictability right now that worries me.
Thanks
Hello,
My phone is almost a month old now and first two weeks were fine no problem at all. Now last few days it has been randomly rebooting itself when I swipe my lockscreen to open. It never does this when I am using the phone only sometimes when I'm unlocking the screen by swiping or just directly go from notifications etc. This happens like twice a day depending how much I use my phone.
I also feel like it first started to happen when I updated it. To be honest I am not sure what it did update. I also installed bunch of apps which I did delete later.
What should I do next? Factory data reset? Or is there a way to see the "crash report" or something to see whats causing it?
tldr; phone randomly reboots after lockscreen, what to do
Thanks.

After the update if some issues show up is recommended to do a Factory Reset. Start do that.

Agreed. If that does not work, re-flash the phone with a stock FTF to start over. If the problem continues after that, it must be some hardware issue.

I did that and didnt get single reboot yesterday. Too bad I didnt try this earlier. Thanks.
I am having the exact same issue.
Here is that I have done that didnt work.
Reset (vol up/pwr)
reset using red button by sim card
factory data reset
software install using pc companion
However, After each one I set the phone back up how I had it. I had the gmail widget on the lock screen. the phone would reboot at random times right after attempting to unlock. I removed the gmail widget and it hasnt happened since! I sat here locking and unlocking for about 15 minutes and it hasnt rebooted.
IN SHORT TRY TO REMOVE THE WIDGETS BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE
Hope this helps

it has not rebooted since i originally posted this. It is now 4/25
Well, almost random.
I noticed it more when I turn on the screen, input pin code, then it restarts. Not every time but frequently. It also happens when I am using it for a few minutes.
It started today.
I haven't installed anything.
And I'm on vacation abroad right now.
So I can't even copy my personal data to a laptop & restore to factory settings.
Because there's no external memo card.
Are you happy Samsung?
You've really caused a havoc.
Because I can't go on like this.
I need my office to navigate & communicate with people.
I can't have it restarting every 6 mins!!!
I cleared system cache from boot menu
II cleared apps cache
Still randomly restarting.
This is one of the weirdest problems I've had. I'll try to be very specific. I'm running Android 6.0 on a Moto G 2014. I was just using my phone, on YouTube, when it decides to randomly reboot. Ok, just an error. Then I noticed that my phone's lockscreen never shows up anymore, and I can't pull down the quick settings. I thought it was just an error from the unexpected reboot it had, so I do a full reboot. No change. Okay, maybe clearing cache and dalvik will solve this. Cleared, reboot, Android is Upgrading, and no change. Okay, now I'm worried. So I restore a system backup from a month ago, reboot, and no change. I also tried uninstalling xposed framework, and no change. Now I don't know what else there is to do before factory resetting, because I really don't want to do that. By the way, here's all of the problems I've noticed since that reboot:
Can't pull down notifications.
Lockscreen will not show up at all.
Home button does not work at all, pressing it does nothing. I have to press back if I want to get to the homescreen.
"Developer options are not available for this user" error screen, even though I'm the only user
adb won't respond (probably for the reason above)
I get no notifications at all
I can't receive calls
Any tips or steps I should take to find this problem? Any help is appreciated.
Solved
Restoring System, Data, and Boot from early June took the problem away. But it bothers me that I'll never know what the problem was.
My Mi A2 was behaving weirdly. Uninstalling apps was making the system to freeze and reboot itself. There were also other small nagging issues. So, decided to do a factory reset.
I did the factory reset from withing setting menu. After confirming to go ahead with the factory resetting, the phone rebooted to a black screen displaying "Erasing" and then it powered off. I waited few minutes thinking that it might have been doing something in the background. But the phone didn't boot itself. I pressed and held the power button and then it booted just fine and I continues with the setup procedure. I have owned several android phones previously, but each one of them rebooted itself after factory reset.
Is this something new/normal to Android One devices? Or did I unknowingly interrupted the resetting procedure? Does anyone have any experience/insight on this issue?
P.S.: I removed my google account and screen-lock before resetting.
P.S.: I did a reset again and this time it behaved as expected and rebooted itself as normally it should.
it might be hardware issue
