Bought this T710 at launch and ever since the first Marshmallow update, I am constantly bombarded with random apps crashing, and the tablet randomly rebooting. This is when it's on the Stock ROM and unrooted.
I then tried to flash Lineage OS 14.1 on it and things got a little bit better. It's still rebooting randomly, but not as often, and apps will crash occasionally when launched for the first time.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing these reboots and crashes? I've been having this problem for months now, and would really like to be able to fix it if possible.
Yeah. I'm experiencing the same thing since updating to M. Never had this in L. Happens especially after watching YouTube for extended periods.

Hey all,
I am currently running my VZW Galaxy Tab with a stock 2.2 Froyo build that is rooted and running Boushh's KhasMek Kernel V5.
Ever since I installed that kernel, I have been experiencing constant force closes. It's really not any one app either, it is most of them. So far, I have put the freeze (via Titanium Backup) on all the apps that have FC'd a lot that I don't use. Maps was one of the biggest culprits. Facebook FCs a lot as well, and the only way to fix it is to go into app management and clear data. Similar issues with random games and such as well.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling multiple apps, and this helps for a time, but doesn't last too long. I have tried switching launchers, just in case it was somehow related, but it doesn't seem to be.
Basically, whenever I leave the tablet on idle for more than a few minutes, when I unlock it something hangs and I get an FC of a random app.
And a lot of times, it just does the single vibrate, followed by two quick ones, and nothing comes up as having FC. But, in the mean time, the tablet is unusable until it hits the second set of vibrations.
This is extremely annoying and is preventing usage of the tablet for periods of time. So, I am wondering, is anyone else experiencing this? If so, what have you done to fix it? At this point, I am inclined to just revert back to stock, though I would rather not.
Thanks for any insight.
As of now, I am constantly getting

force closing.
Since it seems Cyan has halted release of cyan 11 nightlies for the Atrix HD (indicative of what, I'm not sure), I figure it's worth solving this personal issue now; since it will most likely require another factory reset and I'd rather do it now.
Since day one of using custom ROMs, I've had the issue of my phone randomly crashing. Despite previously using only stable cyan releases, making sure to do clean resets (factory, dalvik, formatting system partitions,etc), letting the phone "stabilize" after installing (no clue what this means, but people seem to suggest just letting the phone sit about 10 min after flashing a new ROM, claiming a more stable experience), and even flashing a new kernel, I still see the same issue.
At this point, I've pretty much accepted that more likely than not, I'll have my phone randomly freeze and reset in my hands during basic use, calls, texting, internet use, listening to music, etc. Though clearing the Dalvik cache seems to quell the problem, it soon returns to the familiar behavior a day or two later. Any other basic solutions I might be overlooking? Suggestions, even obvious, very welcome.
CM11 switched to unified builds for the Moto 8960 family . http://www.cmxlog.com/11/moto_msm8960/
You can safely download a zip and dirty flash it over your current CM11 installation. At least that's what I did and I'm having possibly the smoothest experience so far on this phone/CM combo running Sat March 01 nightly.
About your crashes, do you get a phone freeze with signal loss before restarts? Do you always get a restart when the phone crashes?
Did you try enabling 2G only for a while? Do you crash while on WiFi?
You could also try another ROM such as Validus. I find the 4.3 release to be quite stable.
Thank you for the link to the new unified build. I've been busy with approaching midterm that I'd only heard of the new builds but didn't look into it personally.
As for the freezing. It's always been the same behavior: screen and all function buttons suddenly becoming unresponsive with no warning or change in signal (regardless of wifi or data use) remaining frozen for 10 to 30 sec, before returning to the unlocked bootload warning screen and the normal cyan reboot animation and normal lock screen after.
Everytime is has froze it will restart (i suspected a memory issue at one point, but after watching the memory usage long enough to see it randomly freeze but no change in mem, I doubt that it's directly the issue). I have not tried switching to 2g, so it would be worth a try. It will freeze regardless of whether wifi is off or on.
The only real "pattern" I could argue seeing is that it freezes most often during skype calls, while playing music (pandora and play music), and internet using browser; though it might only be because I'm actually paying attention to the phone while it is doing these tasks, I'm sure that it's probably freezing and resetting in my pocket thoughout the day. It will also randomly reset while looking through settings or non-data dependent tasks. Ironically, I've never had it reset on me while I was watching a youtube video. Go figure.

Any ROM, stable, nightly, cyan or other, with still see it start randomly freezing and rebooting an hour to a day after flashing.
-update*
After having switched to 2g signal instead of LTE, I haven't seen anymore randomly rebooting. I'm not sure if this was the issue but it's already been a day which is longest I've seen it remain stable.
1 Week later, back to the same behavior as before. Seems I might just screwed for having a stable modded phone.
Anyone else have the issue of Google Chrome crashing? I've tried stock as well as different Roms and I find that Chrome crashes quiet a bit.
Yes, same problem for me. Also tried Chrome Beta, again not stable. Today I flashed 5.0.1, let's see if this changes anything
Only started to notice it when I switched to LiquidSmooth. Does it happen on the Stable channel of chrome?
Either way, its a minor annoyance not a ground breaking one
Has happened to me on numerous Roms as well as stock with the regular Chrome.
Beta has been crashing on me for a while now. Ever she l since it hit v40 it's been bad. For me its happened on Rastapop, LS, Validus, Franken AOSP, Pure Shamu, stock, Slim and whatever other ROM I used and didn't list. I'm a serial flasher I guess so maybe its a lollipop thing
Mine freezes quite often, but after 30 seconds or so comes back to life. May have only noticed it on the nexus 9 though now that I think of it...
I have also noticed Chrome freezing on my new Nexus 6. I haven't made any changes to the factory install.
The only way I get Chrome going again is to go to Settings - Apps - Force Stop. It is a bit annoying.
I've been using the debloated 5.0.2 FW (pre-rooted 23.1.A.0.726 with Xposed) for months now with no issues, but one day the RAM started going crazy and has been for a month now. Every time I open an app, things in the background start restarting in a loop and multitasking is basically impossible. Restarting and clearing cache/dalvik-cache hasn't helped at all. I don't know if this is the Lollipop memory leak bug (I thought Sony had fixed this), but it's really strange that this came seemingly out of nowhere. I've attached some screenshots. Not really sure what to make of it, but memory state is in "critical" most of the time, and Google Play Services and Snapchat usage seems unusually high. Before, I had quite a few apps running in the background and the phone handled it like a champ; rarely any app refreshes, redraws, etc. Now it feels like i have 512MB of RAM again...
Anybody experiencing this? I'm thinking this could be coming from a rogue Xposed module or something. The problem is the worst if I'm using Chrome or Snapchat, but still occurs elsewhere. Any recommendations on where to find the cause?
I get exactly the same issues as you. No idea why that happens. After exiting an app and going back to Google now launcher it would've restarted so all the icons take awhile to load again and the app drawer too. This is quite annoying but a reboot fixes it. Sadly I might have to do this once a day or so, hence making the experience rather irritating.

It's happening to me too. I'm hoping it's a 5.0.2 LP bug and will be resolved with 5.1.1's release sometime this month (fingers crossed!)
That said, I've tried nearly all the stock rom iterations on this board and Wajk's 23.2.A.1.62 build seems to be the most stable, even with Xposed installed. Version 1.1 and 1.3 of his Slim rom still had restarts (I never tried 1.2), but they actually restarted, whereas other stock roms wouldn't, and the apps that restarted remained closed until reopened manually, so I missed messages and emails all the time, and experienced launcher redraws often.
Currently, I'm on 1.4 of his rom and it seems less stable, but that could be because I had dirty flashed from 1.3, and previously dirty flashed from 1.1. Version 1.5 should be out soon, so if that doesn't improve it, I'm going to clean wipe and re-install.
Hi,
first of all sorry for my bad english and screenshots with german text .
The situation:
I have a total of two Tab S2 (T-813). The first is 4 years old, the second is less than 2 years old. The newer is now causing problems.
The reboots occur:
- When using the tablet. Definitely with a high load, but also sometimes with only light loads
- When it is charging
- completely random
Edit1: reboots are not related to the battery percentage
Edit2: never experienced a reboot while in TWRP.
I didn't really find anyone with the same problem on the Internet. It is not a boot loop. Sometimes you can use the tablet for hours/ days. Then again not at all, because it starts again after a minute. To narrow down the problem, I formatted both tablets and installed the same lineage version and firmware. Since it restarts, log files are unusable, right?
Is there any way to narrow down the error?
I suspect overheating, but I would like to know if I have any way to isolate the fault exactly. Maybe there is also another (hardware) forum, which can help better in this case, then I would also be grateful for a tip.
I would have no problem opening the tablet. I've already done this with my smartphones.
Thx for your time.
Solution:
It is an overheating problem if you have exactly the same problems as I had.
You can test it simply like this: fill a plastic bag with cold water and some icecubes. Use it like a pillow for your tablet so it can rest on the bag while you use it. I had no problems at all while doing this.
I send it to Samsung and they repaired it.
It's just as new now.
I actually have the same problem, just only when its at 15 or less battery
Hi.
Well, it sounds for me like a different problem, cause it's battery related. My battery is fine and I have reboots not related to battery status.
Have you tried anything (factory reset, newest lineage and firmware,...)?
Hi,
same here. A SM-T813 running LineageOS that started with random freezes and reboots about a week ago. Sometimes I can use it for about half an hour without problems, next time it reboots while rebooting ...
Seems to be completly random, only thing I noticed that it never reboots while in TWRP.
Cleared and reinstalled LineageOS, but didn't change anything. First time rebooted while still in the setup wizard, next time I could finish the wizard and install serveral apps before the next reboot.
Maybe a problem with the memory?
Yes, that is exactly the same.
I never experienced a reboot in TWRP. No problem with reinstalling lineage.
But while reinstalling Android, it reboots while configuring and while reinstalling apps.
The last days I could watch Amazon prime every evening. Now it reboots after a minute even without using it. I shut it off and hope it will work this evening again.
I have the same issue, sent it in for repair asked to flip battery and swap mainboard. Got it back. Worked a few days, then had random reboots again. I am 100% sure it is a battery issue, and when you get under a specific voltage, maybe when it gets under 30% or so, the chance for reboots rise dramatically, with high cpu or flash memory usage. It happens more often when doing a update in Google Play store for example. So totally have no idea, if Samsung flipped the battery or not, but this was my last Samsung product ever. I would assume there is an issue with too much current drain and then it reboots, and the battery used in them are not designed for the units properly.
same to me. i was on stock rom. never root or anything. and got random reboots most of them when i open google play or google chrome. now im on lineage and same. also i notice that the tablet didnt reboot until i install gapps. and the tablet never reboot on recovery or TWSR. reboots on high or low battery. and if it was overheating maybe the tablet will reboot on recovery. dont know its weird. i will try lineage with out gapps to see what happend.
just testing lineage without gapps no reboot. run browser and netflix with no problems. then i install youtube from aptoid store. and reboot start again. o unistall youtube and no reboot for now.
Same here. I have random reboots but also wifi disconnections (unable to reconnect until i reboot the device)...
Not evident cause...
Someone got a solution for this?
Have the same problem on my T813
You can find the solution for the problem I described at the end of the first post.
