Thanks to a smart community, I have a long-standing problem with a spontaneous reboot. Mobile has root rights and is currently running on SixRom. Restarting is happening randomly in any activity or inactivity (the mobile is lying on the table), I go to the subway, listen to music, navigate, .... How many times can not I turn on because after the pin and subsequent log in to the mobile network is followed by restart and so on all the time. The only thing I've come to help is to have a cellphone in the airplane mode (but it's a totally useless mobile) or plugged into a charger, which makes it a miracle to recover and run normally.
Do anyone have any advice on how to solve this problem? I have tried many tutorials, kernels, roms, factory reset, but nothing works.
I apologize for my English, I use compiler.
It could be an app your using. Some apps will sometimes cause these random restarts because of a conflict with another app you may be using. Try deleting an app and see how things go, if things seem ok or continue with the restarts, then delete another app until you can rule out that the apps are what's causing the problem
Good idea, I try, but it still does not explain why my cellphone works smoothly when charging from usb. This does not reveal any restart either spontaneous or when logging in to the operator's network.
When ever I have a unexplained problem I do a complete format,, wipe everything except recovery.
For anyone having unexplained random reboots - replace your battery.
Is it sure that the battery replacement really helps? Or is it possible to test it for functionality by some kind of program? What I have tested programs for android, so everyone reports that the battery is in good condition ....

Go to playstore and download AccuBattery. Let it run in the background while you charge your phone to 100%. Then go in to the app and look for what it says under "health". It should say something about estimated capacity and design capacity. Let us know what it says on estimated capacity. It would give you an indication of how your battery health is.

This.
In my case the phone would generally run fantastic from 100% to 60% or so then would begin rebooting at first what I thought was randomly... however after experimenting I found the reboots coincided with above average draws on the battery. The fact that while your device is plugged into power and you are free of reboots is reason to believe your battery could stand replacement alone.....
Now If you want another quick and easy test (that's completely unscientific) undeniably accurate in 2 N6's Ive owned that indeed did need battery replacements here's what I did to convince myself that I was on the right track
I would usually wait until the phone reboots in what I would consider random which in my particular cases would be anywhere in between 60- 40%.
At this point I would open a "heavy" app. Google Maps comes to mind. Once open and after entering destination and location. The moment I hit "Get Directions" in Maps... BAM.. Reboot. Each time and every time. No room for coincidence.
There are a ton of apps out there but Maps is just the first one I realized I could control the point of reboot to that degree. Google+ was also another app but never to the point of a single button press causing the reboot.
Keep in mind this "test" is by no means without a doubt proof but..... with what you already know an easy way to see if the reboots might not be random after all.
With me, restarts are probably random in any activity. How many times do I turn on the display, switch on the screen and he restarts my cellphone. I've been told several times that my phone was restarted into a mode where I did not load startup applications such as AccuBattery, ... and there was no data connection to the mobile network. The mobile operator's signal was and was called. It did not help even the last version of the system (whether I was on any ROM - currently sixRom) or that despair of deleting Dalvik, data, in recovery (last version).
The only thing that helped was either to restore the entire system, including data from the backup, or complete the new ROM and then download the applications from the Play Store. Unfortunately, this will not solve a random restart.
AccuBattery reports battery health to 76%
I ordered two new batteries in one package that would arrive in a month. I'll see how I get.
If you're using magisk, that could be the issue
I'm using SuperSU

Same issue with me. Having random reboots for a couple of weeks now. Not always, just here and then. I have used a lot of different ROM's, with and without root, but to no avail.
After doing a lot of research, in XDA, and by Googling I have found out that in the majority of the cases the issue is the battery being faulty or passed its age, so its seems only natural to replace it.
I have bought the tools, bought the battery on eBay, now just waiting for it to come and I will change it myself. It doesn't look difficult to do.
Anyway, I hope this helped.

Good luck [emoji6] You're right, it's not hard, just time consuming and requires patience. My 2 cents on the subject;
Getting the back off the phone is pretty easy if you use a hot water bottle to warm the back for about ten minutes first. It helps soften the glue holding the back on.
You'll need a *good* #3 (some phones need a #4) torx bit. Using the cheap ones that come with replacement parts will likely strip the screw heads.
Use a magnifying glass to ensure your torx bit fits properly, and that you are holding it inline with the screw head. If it is tilted, you are more likely to strip the screw. Some of the screws are at an angle so I think that's where some might run into trouble.
Replacing the main board holder makes the whole job easier but it's not required. All in all, I'm glad I had one in hand. It's fragile and if the adhesive sticks on it, you might find it cracks when separating the back.
If you follow the ifixit tutorial, I seem to remember there was one or two screws that weren't listed. Also, they don't do a good job of illustrating how to release the ribbon cable connectors.
As you put the new battery in, consider the shape as you want it to conform to the curved back. If you find your forcing the back cover on, double check the battery.

Thanks for the tips :good:, defo will consider them.
I have been able to open the back with no problem, but with the tools that I bought some time ago on AliExpress I just couldn't unscrew the screws, so I decided not to touch it and bought some much better tools on eBay (and now I'm waiting them to come, in about 2 weeks time).
I have watched a lot of videos, and I mean A LOT, I've read quite a lot articles as well, so I think I'm good to go (and I really hope that I don't screw this up).

Thanks for your advice on dismantling, they will definitely be very useful. The batteries are still on their way, so it's a long wait. In addition, I plan to replace the very cracked cover glass (plastic) on my mobile phone, as I enjoy virtually all the mounting in the allele. Well, personally, I do not have any experience with replacing a few videos from youtube, at least I have all the necessary accessories like a new original school, inside a glue and uv curing lamp, screwdrivers, a chopper. I'll see how it goes
* So far, the restart has stabilized to a daily number of three or more.

It was a long process but I finally did it. It took me about an hour to carefully remove and assembly the parts but it was worth it.
The 5 days that I had the new battery, the random reboots seems to have gone away. I cannot see any difference in the battery life though, about 30 minutes more of SOT, about 3 and a half to 4 hours in total.
In the end I think it was worth it.
P.S. I did buy the back plate as well and now my N6 looks like new again

Hi all - my poor Kaiser has suffered the dreaded RLOD. Tried every possible fix short of a new battery... which I should get in the mail this week.
If the phone itself is bricked, what would people recommend in terms of a replacement/upgrade? I'm in Canada on Rogers so it has to be a GSM phone. Generally use it for business apps.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Slider keyboard, Touch Pro II or AT$T Tilt 2: Screen keyboard, Touch HD. Or wait for HTC's rumored ( and I think just a rumor, complete with " leaked " photoshopped pics) superphone, the HTC Leo.
"Tilt II" or (cheap) Kaiser
I was in the same position a couple days ago.
I decided to replace mine with another Kaiser. And I got the part to fix my dying phone as well, for a bit more. Less than $200 spent for two.
In good condition a Kaiser can be had for well under $150.
A fixer-upper can be pieced together for well under $100. (you've torn a Kaiser apart a few times? New screen, etc?) Parts are cheap and a junker to fix (Broken screen or hinges...) is almost free.
But if I were willing to have a contract, the Tilt II or a variant with number keys across the top... sure looks good. I haven't compared the size and weight, but since I already carry a tiny brick, it would be fine, I'm sure. I understand it's better in a few ways. (Audio jack, Screen resolution) and with more horsepower, the screen updates may be quicker, accelerated drivers or not!
I went with the Kaiser, but I did not know about the Tilt II until after I had purchased. Saved me some money, and now I have a backup with identical (but not as pretty) hardware.
Seems like win-win with either platform!

Not sure what to suggest re a replacement (and your budget will likely come into it as well) but how about detailing all the fixes you've tried - you may have missed one or two and there have been extensive posts on the topic here. It'd be much preferable, I'm sure you agree, to fix it at low or nil cost rather than having to buy a replacement.
Hey guys - first off, thanks for the suggestions above. The offerings from my carrier are weak (best right now is Touch Diamond) but I may look for an aftermarket Tilt 2.
Flying Kiwi, I would definitely be happy to get my Tilt working again - even just to squeeze a few more months out until the Hero is available here. I've read through every thread I could find about RLOD and haven't had any luck. Its actually the second time I've had the red light... the first time was about three months ago. I left the SIM and battery out overnight and the next day it came back to life... but my battery life was severely shortened after that. I could barely get 8 hours out of it before it was at 0%.
On Friday of last week it ran out of juice completely and RLOD was waiting for me in the morning. I tried leaving the battery and SIM out as before and I actually did get the amber light back at one point. I immediately plugged the charger in and hoped it would be fine like last time. Unfortunately the red light was back about 2 minutes later.
Based on the various posts on the subject, I've tried pressing buttons in a specific order, tried "jump starting" the battery, cleaned the contacts, etc... not even a hint of life. That's why I'm thinking that a new battery might be the only chance I have left. But if you know of any other methods I'd love to try!
Man, I miss my phone.....
Sounds familiar

If you do have a known fully charged battery (perhaps borrowing a friends one) it'd be worth performing a hard reset. It does sound like a spot of the same trouble I briefly had a year or so ago though and I rectified it very quickly with a careful, thorough contact clean (both the spring contacts and battery terminals). I realise you've said you performed a contact clean but what did you use and how did you do it? I don't know if you're aware but it's possible for invisible film to ruin the connection and what looks like a clean connection could still be to blame... If you have a cradle charger, you could also try charging the battery in that before fitting it and perfoming a hard reset. They're cheap enough to buy and enable you to charge 2 batteries at a time (1 in the phone and 1 in the cradle bay).
No luck.... just tried to clean it again with acetone and still the red light. Twas a good thought though!!
And I've searched around for a replacement battery but no one around here has this particular phone... its not generally available up here so I bought one from eBay.
Contact cleaner is cheap enough

I wouldn't give up on that being a cause, especially given the 2 mins on charge scenario. I suggest you use the product specifically designed for such cleaning jobs, contact cleaner (and apply it with the end of a cotton bud soaked in the stuff). A few gentle rubs with this will ensure it's electrically connecting fine.

I bought a battery (and cradle charger bundle) from eBay for my Kaiser and although it works, the quality certainly wasn't up to the original one that came with the phone. It doesn't fit as well either and causes the back cover to protrude a little rather than sitting flush. Twas very cheap though

hehe, ok I'm not particularly patient
I will definitely leave it charging overnight and hope that it decides to spring to life. My biggest concern is that the red light stays on even if the battery out - while plugged in of course. Just makes me think the phone itself is pooched.

I wish I'd thought of that before ordering this new battery... although if it works I'll likely order another battery and cradle as a back up right away.
Although now that I'm looking at these Touch Pro 2s on eBay they're looking very tempting.

You needn't think that because the battery has to be installed (and working) for the phone to run - I'd definitely suggest you don't try charging without a battery installed again. This is because some electronic circuits which are designed to be run under load can sometimes be damaged if powed up while not loaded (PSUs inside PCs are a good example). It's worth buying a small can of specialist contact cleaner. It's cheap enough and will do the best job possible in the situation if used with some cotton buds/Q-Tips.

You mustn't have got to the bit with the price in it then (nor checked whether they have full Qualcomm accelerated graphics driver support to perform optimally for an MSM72xx chipset device) Still, they do appear to be an improvement over the Kaiser if only a limited one.

Um how do you charge a battery without it being in the phone? Seriously you have the strangest advice ever..
? get another battery and hard reset to the phone to fix the red light? Wouldn't the friends battery just show you that he needs another battery?
Dear person with broken phone. Try your new battery, Good luck..
Seems like the original battery is worn out and the phone has drained every drop. Most likely there are some capacitors or something that aren't getting charged because of the charger board not having power.. I've seen devices that work like this, there isn't enough juice to start it up and charge the battery or even power the phone properly. I'm sure there is some sort of small bios type battery on there that is drained as well.

I give up, how do you charge a battery without it being in the phone? It is possible to plug in the charger and power it without a battery installed however (although the phone wont boot in this state) and this may cause damage.

It may but a hard reset may also show that some corruption in the ROM may be to blame or contributing to the problem and of course a hard reset isn't possible with a flat battery. I'm not willing to rule either out as a potential cause of the problem at this stage.

Something we agree on again ChumleyEX, see we do have alot in common you know. I even like cats too
Well damn, I can't say anything negative to someone that likes cats.
Hey guys - I appreciate all of the advice, really do.
Good to know that the red light should be on while charging with the battery out... not something I was doing for a long period, just happened while I was trying the various fixes. Hopefully the new battery comes in and works because I wouldn't be rushing to drop $700+ on a Touch Pro 2.
Oh and I like cats too.
Wanted to provide a (late) update. My Kaiser's problem was purely battery-related. I finally got a new battery today and the RLOD cleared up right away.
Not sure if it will come back or whether my battery life will be compromised, though...
I was wondering if anyone else was experiencing this also. Sometimes my milestones touch screen start goin all crazy an pushing buttons an sliding pages an pretty much making a huge mess.This has happened before, an it went normal after 4 to 5 hours later, an now its happening again. I did some research sayin somethin about the touch screen an its reaction to humidity an stuff, but i wasnt sure. So im hoping someone here knows what is up an can tell me what i have to do.

Well, I would suggest that you try reverting back to using the stock charger for a few days and see if that helps. Using other chargers (esp from ebay) can cause similar effects on the Milestone/Droid due to voltage variances.

Well, try buying a stock one from an authorized Motorola dealer. Every since I purchased one on ebay, I always make sure my Moto chargers come in a sealed, hard plastic, package in attempt to improve authenticity (However, I'm not sure how much that buys me).
Good luck.
I get this same issue.
Unplugged or not, on various roms from stock to motofrenzy.
sometimes the screen will just become really crazy.
If i open a webpage and just hold my finger on the screen in one place it will zoom in scroll up and down, all sorts.
I verified what was happening by downloading Multitouch visualiser 2 from the Market.
A reboot always fixes the problem
Its kinda frustrating, because i know that Moto just direct you to the place of purchase and i was not the original purchaser, so i have no chance of a warranty repair.
yeah ive tried everything, its driving me up the wall, its been like this for the last 30 hours,an i cant even use the phone, this is the worst it been, it usually goes away after 5 to 6 hours , but now its jus gone crazy, an ive restarted an removed the battery countless of times
but burko, are you using a sock wall charger or a ebay or differant brand wall charger.thanks

That happened with me, when the temperature degree outside is very high, I live in region the degree reach to 48degree, my phone screen goes crazy, so I think your charger make your phone very hot, so the sensitivity of your screen begin not work properly. I'm note sure, just want to share my idea.

All chargers using the micro USB spec should be the exact same voltage (and different current ratings depending on the charger, although different current values shouldn't affect your screen at all). I suspect that the voltages are very close, if not generally the same, but, the voltage may slightly fluctuate (or ripple) over time, which I believe may be causing the issue. The better quality the charger, the more constant the voltage.
If I were you I'd purchase an authentic Motorola Micro USB charger, and call it a day.

Go to a service center asap!
Dude, use your warranty. Take it to a service center.
Mine happened the same, and I decided to send it back to motorola and just got it back yesterday.
They replaced the glass screen and the frame which surrounds the glass.
It seems they removed that plastic from behind the screen on the slider, or also replaced the slider module.
I'd guess it might be a known issue for motorola, because my phone had scratches on the glass, plus a small crack on the screen ( yeah, I know, it's gorilla glass, but I'm an orc with mobiles ), the metal frame was all dented, and they replaced it anyway, when they could just said "this is misuse, it's failing because you drop it several times, go buy another one"
I already had this issue a few months before, it got better and I decided to keep on, and then it started again and got unusable, so don't get excited about it getting better, because probably will eventually start failing again.

hi, whenever i do a battery pull my clock resets itself. from personal experience with RTC's (real time clocks) they usually have a small backup battery that prevents data loss during battery pulls. does the note have such a battery? anyone knows the model of this battery?
i wanna make sure i can get a new one before i go and try crack open my phone.
also, i do have network time set up, so after 30 seconds or so my phone updates the current time and date from the network. but by then whatsapp has already started and everything is just a messup. i just want the RTCC to keep its data on battery pulls(i constantly swop batteries during the day, heavy heavy note user)
I don't think they're using internal batteries in smartphones anymore. Not sure they ever did.
Haven't looked at Note's board, but usually the chip we're talking about is powered by a capacitor that starts to discharge when you remove the battery. This should allow it to keep the settings for about 48 hours.
If your phone loses that data everytime, and immediately after removing the battery, it might mean a faulty capacitor.
This might qualify for a warranty replacement. Try contacting support and see what they have to say.

makes sense to rather use a supercap like the one u mention. strange that it would break tho. supercaps have extremely long lifespan. im not sure i have warranty on my device. bought it second hand and flashed so many roms haha. in South africa theres almost no technical support for anything. perhaps i should try email tech supp over seas. if i can get my hands on the cap ill be able to replace it myself
i was able to find a block diagram but no schematics or pcb layouts with any info
http://notebookschematic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/GT-N7000.png for block diagram(pretty much useless but still interesting )
FOUND IT!!
complete service manual! thanks E.V.A

Good idea, maybe they'll at least tell you where/how to solve this problem, but if warranty means sending your phones overseas then i guess it's better to try and fix it yourself.
Anyway, thanks for sharing those schematics, nice find! ( funny how "SAMSUNG CONFIDENTIAL" stares at you on every single page lol )

Hello everyone,
During the last few months I've had issues where my Xperia X8 would randomly enter a repetitive reboot. After five or so reboots, the phone would stabilize and would function normally for a few days until the same thing happened again.
Lately, it started doing it more often, and especially when I was to either make a call or surf the internet for longer than a minute or two. In other words, the problem finally caught my attention as it interfered with the basic functions of a smartphone.
After restoring a six-months old back-up, removing all of the mostly unused apps, formatting the SD card, testing another SIM card and trying out the GingerDX ROM instead of FroyoPro, nothing of which did anything to solve the problem, I asked a fellow X8 user to lend me his battery for a few days as a last ditch fix which I could do on my own. Luckily, this turned out to be the culprit. Now I'm four days in without a single restart and the phone working faster than ever being all cleaned up.
A short story was made long for future reference if anyone else happened to have the same issue. I also posted in this forum instead of Accessories because this one is most active. Sorry about that
Now I'm in the need of a replacement battery, as my friend would prefer to get his battery back. No fancy stuff - a simple 1200 mAh replacement would do. Does anyone have any experience with this?
What's your opinion on these:

The price looks fine and all that, but we all got burned at some point buying non-official merchandise. I'm pretty sure these are neither genuine nor SE batteries, but might as well do as replacements.
Any suggestions?

This.
The price seems very low and i guess you can give it a try. In the worst case you will lose 5£ or so.
I guess they will work for a while but I'm on the same opinion as what you wrote above.

Exactly, and some of the reviews look completely rigged.
Anyway, by some stroke of luck I found what seemed to be the only shop in town that still had the EP500 model replacement battery in their storage, so no ordering via web-shop or other internet venues was necessary. I'm from Croatia, so it ended up costing 9£, which would be the exact equivalent as if I had ordered a similar model from Amazon, taking total shipping into account.
One day in, one call, ~10 SMSs and an hour of so worth of listening to music later, about 15% of the battery was spent, but keep in mind I only use 2G and the phone puts itself on airplane mode during night time.
So, I'm satisfied The only thing I can recommend is that you absolutely try your local vendors before trying anything else, as you do get warranty in most cases and you can easily return the battery if it explodes.
I flashed Android N Preview as a secondary ROM using MultiROM, everything worked perfectly, no issues what so ever.
After a day when I was listening to music using Spotify the phone suddenly switched of abruptly with battery over 90%
Since then I couldn't able to switch on the phone again.
No bootloader, no Recovery, Its not booting at all. No response from the phone.
I think it is dead.
Changed the Battery to new one.
Not worked. No sign of anything.
When I plugged in the charger the LED light is on, but I don't think its charging phone is not warm while it is plugged in.
In fact it felt like so chill.
So, I don't know how to recover my phone.
BTW, the phone's bootloader unlocked, rooted stock ROM as the primary one.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks guys.
Did you try to press the power button for 15-20 seconds? That's a weird problem.
The same happened to me.,and my phone is stock and locked. Its bricked. Nothing we tried helped

the back plastic sheet is held on with adhesive, I would apply heat first then work it open with a tool like isesamo or maybe a thin credit card or guitar pick. underneath there are 20 torx iirc can't remember size and another plastic shell with many holes in it. this cover, the wireless charging coil, and battery are adhered together i think and there are two small rubber covers for the power button (top) and battery (bottom). remember to disconnect your ribbon cables and treat them carefully.
the real problem imo lies in reassembly. i have repaired many and never feel they are the same as they came from the factory mostly because the back cover doesn’t re-adhere well. invest in some quality 3m adhesive, even a pre cut if you can manage.
Yeah done everything I have in my power nothing works.
Asked service center to check they said the phone is dead.
To get it repaired it will cost 3500 for me, they said.
Damn it.
Don't know what to do.
Now they said that the motherboard is dead, I need to change it inorder to get it work again.
Is it possible like this kind of problem occurs?
I was in Android N listening to Spotify
Putting a pre release OS on a phone, especially using a hack like multi rom, was indeed a recipe for disaster..
I'm certain that your partitions somehow got corrupted, and that results in a un bootable phone
Hopefully, someone reading this thread, who is thinking about doing something suicidal like that will learn from your mistake, but your phone is toast, unless you can get it J-Tagged, which might not even be available for your N6
I've heard the term j-tag a lot before. What does that mean

My phone is officially dead. Service center said that the motherboard is weak and is impossible to repair and only fix is to replace the whole motherboard to a newer one. That would cost me a lot like i could get a new for it and they even suggested me to exchange this phone to a newer one.
And now i got Nexus 6P and I love it so much.
But God i really miss my Nexus 6.
Thanks for the help and suggestion here.
Long live xda.
I couldn't resist to unlock bootloader. Flash multirom and stock root and xposed.
That's the heaven, i can't live without.
I have done it all after i opened the 6P from its box. Lol.
May be i am fastest one to do it.
Thanks xda and friends from it.
