Some issues with brand new note 5 - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, I've had my note 5 for about 3 weeks now, and noticed some problems.
Details: Black Sapphire 64gb SM-920I, non rooted.
I have package disabler pro and have used it to disable Facebook and some junk Samsung apps.
My problems currently are:
1. Phone occasionally gets No Sim card detected, restart device. (has happened about 3 times so far, once a week.)
2. One time when turning on Bluetooth, unable to pair to my earphones(sol Republic shadow). Turning off and on Bluetooth resulted in phone restarting. (unable to reproduce so far)
3. Turned on screen with power button, tried unlocking with fingerprint, phone became unresponsive and only managed to unlock it a minute later.
(also unable to reproduce, only happened once so far.
4. Dev mode - enabled screen on while charging. Works fine for wired charging, but screen still turns itself off when wirelessly charging.
I'm rather concerned, because this is only my 3rd smartphone but none of my previous phones have had any sort of issues like this( HTC one x, Sony Xperia z2).
Does anyone know of or have any similar problems?

Try factory reset bro may be help but your all data deleted..so take backup..
Good luck

Must be in warranty. So why not go and get it replaced?
Or try what liyonking said.

I forgot to mention I already factory reset it after the first week, but I'll give that a shot again. If it happens another time I'll see if theyre willing to honor the warranty.

[Q] automatic random reboot

hey all,
i got my galaxy note now 3 weeks ands it's rebooting random all the time. at a service point i let them do a factory reset but that did not work. does anybody know a solution for this problem? because i dont like to send my note cause i will not have a few days sow if anyone got a solution i like to try it.

Suffering from the same here
I think its related to one of the apps - I will start removing my installed apps one by one from tonight - Will keep you posted with the updates.
Also, if anyone out there had the same issue; please advice!
I had the same issue on previous android devices..I managed to get around it with numerous hard resets. Also I believe that a certain combination of apps will cause it too..but i don't know which ones. I've got a dell streak right now, and its been stable for a few months..having said that, it still randomly reboots once in a while but no where near the consistency it used to.

I had this problem too and it seems to be an installed app problem, particularly any that change the wireless settings in some way or apps that stall when accessing the external SD card at boot times.
this is exactly what happens to me guys, same problem.
Random reboot and this happens all around the clock, no matter if it is day or night or if the phone is in flight mode...
Frankly I don't want to uninstall my apps one by one to check what app is causing the issue because I have no time to spend on it...
I hope that someone with more software skills than me (I am just an user) will succeed to fix it...
cheers.
Do you have Dolphin browser installed?
If it's the case, don't search further...
What's the problem with dolphin browser? I constantly use it and never had a restart. Is OPs phone overclocked or undervolted?
Which rom and kernel are being used?
mine is also rebooting every once in a while for no apparant reason. Mostly when I unplug it from the USB cable but not always. This happened from the first day on. I never did a factory reset but considering it now since the SMemo app is not working anymore (no strokes are visible) and I am out of options.

Come to think of it, mine also reboots when disconnecting from USB storage mode. I thought maybe this was buy design? Maybe not!

Do you use antiviral software? Start by removing that. Kaspersky have messed up almost all my Android devices.

why would you need to pay anything if the phone is under warranty ?
I also have this issue, I found out that its the power button..

Dolphin is a well known app for causing random reboot, since SGS 2.
Not for all users but for many:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321612&highlight=randomly
But without Dolphin installed, I really don't know...
I think it's the SD card causing these problems.
My reboot problems all disappeared when I removed the 32Gb sandisk card. I replaced it with a 16Gb card and was very careful about which apps I installed on it. Now whether it was the card size/brand or the selective apps that resolved the issue I can't be sure. Having Dolphin's cache on the phone memory instead of the SD card might also be a solution.
But it's worth investigating if you have reboot problems with external card installed.
Hi guys,
As soon as I got my Note, I rooted it and flashed a custom rom. Never had problems with reboots so far.
So, for a change I though setting it beck to stock was a good idea, with the upcomming ICS update.
As soon as I flashed the stock rom with odin, and it was back to factory situation, the reboots start happening. Every 3-6 hours the Note rebooted. Got in contact with Samsung (NL) and suggested to execute a factory reset, so I tried that a couple of times. But no luck, the reboots keep happening. I thought maybe it was an hardware issue. I have no Sdcard, only my SIMcard, which was a bit warn out, so I order a new SIM. But still, the reboots keep happening.
Then I decided to root my device again and flash a custom rom (Rocket-Rom), and guess what? No more reboots!!!
I hope this helped.
To me, I think automatic reboot is somehow still acceptable. I experienced two times auto power off. Both were happened after I charged it over night, unpluged the charger and left it without unlocking the screen, drove to my work place, and found it dead
I'm only having it for 2 weeks and I haven't rooted it.
it maybe a usb charging issue which is causing so much grief to many note owners. Mine has a defective usb port and it makes my note go crazy, including reboots and makes the note think its charging when its not even connected to charger at all.
Using note since dec... Faced such problem 5 or 7 time whn my phn was nt rooted... But nw its working fine... Using rocket rom v 20...

Note seems to restart/reboot every day? Do i send it back

I keep getting random restarts and im not rooted or anything. Is this a hardware issue or will this ics update fix it? Cus i sure find it annoying. It does it like once a day or so.

I also have the problem
And until now I also don't have an accurate answer for this
But my friend told me that, sometime it's about the RAM and the GingerBread itself
Mine always restart when it come to running some APPS, even if it just open a new message
And when mine is idle it never restart
How about yours?

Yeh my problem has been going on for about 3 weeks now, afew days after i got my note. it just seems to restart when iam of course on my phone checking out apps or on the internet. when im at home using my wifi it seems to happen, cant recall if ive had the restarts when im out and about, i will deffo keep an eye on that. i have now taken out my sdcard and see if that stops it.
But thats some bull****, i purchased this phone sims free so i still have the warranty so i shall send for a replacement if it keeps on happening. i do think its the damn hardwhere.
Another issue im having, well kinda is when i connect to wifi at home, it connects fine but soon as i turn it off, i get the message *Network error, please check your connection* Very weird so i dont know what thats about.
Sounds like an app trying to connect but cant.
Regardiing your restarts, it doesnt sound good. Usually factory reset clears lingering data, or an update may fix it. But if you never messed around, and eliminated possible apps. I'D say send it back

It may also be a problem with the hardware button in my opinion
Hi, my P7 opens every app it can whilst I'm say typing an email for instance. It will even start dialling out whilst putting the torch on or opening a game. Oh my hat, I feel I could just throw it against the wall. Did you ever find out the issue u were having with yours? Any help would be great. Thanks, Barbara

At least once a week I go to use my phone and it will not turn on? I have to hit the power and volume down to reboot the phone. It's getting worse and worse does anyone know why this is happening. I tried to search I didn't see anything. I am on Att and stock.

I am sure you tried factory reset already? I had a few in phones in the past do that. Usually was a bad battery. When did it all start? How old is phone? Any apps you install and it started doing this?
Leaning more towards you will need to ship in for a warranty with Samsung.

This is my 2nd phone the first one got screwed up with a update. I have had this one for about 4 months and it just started doing it about a month ago. Now it has done it 3 times this week. Once just now and it happens on the charger and off the charger. It has made me late waking up twice. I haven't done a phone restore yet and I haven't installed any new apps.

Sorry didn't read right tired ha. Black screen usually sign of bad screen. Got mixed up and thought it was restarting on it's on. If there was no apps that caused it. You didn't mess with any settings? Said your stock.
If none of the solutions others suggest soon don`t work. I'd go for a factory reset last resort. Worst case you will have to ship again to Samsung sadly

That's concerning. I take it most people with same situation as yours, shipped into sammy? Sucks you gotta go through this bs again maybe.
Just as suggestion, but if you use AOD try turning it off and and see if this fixes the problem.
I had this problem with Ironman ROM and turning off AOD fixed the problem.

Hi,
If you can't reboot your device to fix black screen problem, you can try FoneLab broken android phone data extraction to fix it.
Download and install the program on your computer, and then connect device to computer.
Then you can scan, select and recover data with a few clicks.

Nokia 7 Plus - Screen Freeze - Lock and Unlock to make it work

Hi Folks,
I have got a Nokia 7 plus and since the day I have bought it, I am facing a strange problem.
Every now and them the screen freezes and only way to make it work again is locking and unlocking the phone.
I can say the screen do not respond to touch because the buttons are working properly in this case.
Tried resetting the phone, installing Android P, Rolling back to O, but nothing works. the problem still persists.
Curious to know if anyone else is facing such problem or if anyone has got any solution to fix this issue?
It a hardware problem i believe. Coz even i had the same issue. I immediately sent it to service center which was luckily nearby my home. They took a video of that issue and sent it to Nokia for replacement. They approved my replacement and gave me a approval letter and requested me to visit the shop where i had purchased the phone. The shopkeeper took my old phone back along with all the accessories and approval letter and within 5 mins they gave me a new unit.(note: the service center person told me that if you have purchased the phone from a store then you have 14 days replacement guarantee in case if any issues persist post format or tests).
I have the same issue, tried all methods you mention to make it work normally without succes. I dont know if it is a touch hadware problem because it happens very ramdomly and works instantally and normally again if I lock and unlock the screen
Some days not happens, another days happens very frequent.
Another fact, every time I installs some Factory image (Android P developer preview, Android 8.1), the touch not give problem at all for aprox 2 days or more.
I'm very frustrated with this issue.

This is the Nokia 7+ quality problem, go to the after-sales service to replace the screen for free.
So i got my device replaced and for sometime, it did not give the problem but after 3 weeks, i started experiencing the same problem. New device also becomes unresponsive at times and then i have to switch off/on again to use it. I updated OS to Android P DP3 last week but issue still persists.

I think we can clearly consider this as a hardware problem in that case.
i have same problem with my Nokia 7+, I gave a chance to nokia but I'm already starting to change my mind, the bootloader can not be officially unlocked and now the problem with the touchscreen, a bit disappointed, I hope hmd solve these issues and if not, buh bye nokia.

Sadly, this is not the case here. I did a clean install of the latest developer preview, and I still experience an unresponsive system. Right after lock/unlock it works again.

It happens to me sometimes while uninstalling an app. Device freezes and doesn't respond. After like 10-15 seconds, it uninstalls the app and start responding.

I have similar problem.
When I want to clear data for the chrome through the settings, device goes mad, most of the time freeze and its difficult to restart it.
I thought they fixed with august security patch, but no.

Yes, it happens to me as well. Let say Chrome has 200mb cache and if I click on Clear Cache, device freezes.
I used to face this problem quite frequently, but I haven't seen it in quite a while. For this reason, I'm pretty sure it was a software related issue and not a hardware one, as a hardware problem would be unlikely to go away, but a software one could be fixed with updates.
It started to happen on ly device today. I have the august security patch and my model is ta 1055 so i don't think the problem is solved yet
Cleared chrome cache. Device freeze for 15 minutes and rebooted. On Pie dev 4
There are so many seemingly random issues with this phone, I can safely say that I hate it. I never know if it's going to take a call (unresponsive soft button), or if the person on the other end will be able to hear me (mic just randomly stops working at least once a week). Freezes a few times every day. Won't allow push email notifications after (or during) sleep, have to reboot. The list goes on......
Going to turn in my device for repairs. It's taken Nokia long enough to come up with a software solution. On the Nokia forums there are several people who were helped with a touch panel repair.
Sent from my Nokia 7 plus using Tapatalk
Already sent back the device for repairs twice, each time they sent it back with just a reinstall of an older Android version... claiming it would be fixed.
In Europe, there's no Nokia repair, so another party is taking care of the repairs. It seems like they are not really aware of the ongoing bugs/problems of the device, which makes it extremely difficult to get them to actually repair the device properly.
First time they even told me they "replaced defective hardware", when in fact the hardware was not touched at all.
I managed to record the issue with another device, and showed it to the vendor.
Now they're offering me a refund. It looks like this is the best option I can get from them.
Really sad though. I was hoping for them to just fix it. Apart from this problem, it is a really good device. There's not really a good alternative in the same price range.

Im having trouble unlocking my device, I tried the finger touch to unlock but it did not unlock and the phone is unresponsive even on pressing the power button. I tried to force restart by pressing and holding the powerup button and power nutton simultaneously but still no result. Also I could see a red led light at the lefthand side of speaker on top.
Note: The device was fully charged.
can someone help me with this Issue please
