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.
So I had been running the same ROM without any issue for almost 18 months. The note 4 is my backup phone so I do not mess with it too often. I did use it almost every day though for a media remote for my family room. However the other day the phone rebooted after seeing a weird error message pop up. It was not like any I had seen before, looked like an error related to the hardware.
Now no matter what ROM I flash onto it I it struggles to boot. If it does boot the ROM is really slow and choppy and often freezes or gives me the black screen of death and I have to pull the battery. I have tried multiple ROMs both TW and AOSP base and all are having the same issue. Even using ODIN to go back to stock did not fix the issue.
Is it possible the phone just had a hardware failure and is toast? Just curious if anyone has had this issue and if they have any ideas on how to fix it.
Thanks!

Many have had similar issues, for example:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-tmobile/general/marshmallow-updates-issues-t3415914
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-tmobile/help/major-phone-issues-reboots-freezes-t3440870
A proposed solution has been to downgrade to LP, although some people have reported it not fully fixing the issues.
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.
Hi all, lurker here.
I've been having an issue with my OP3T that hasn't really phased me until now. From time to time my phone would lock up and crash (phone shuts down unexpectedly). I would have to manually reboot the phone by holding the power down button.
I am running on OOS Beta 10, rooted with Magisk 13, EX Kernel and whatnot. This has happened prior to being on beta channel and root as well. I've read somewhere that this is a hardware issue that arises from SD821 clocking up to max Freq which causes the crash but I think even with the custom kernel and underclocking I am still experiencing lock ups.
If there is a log I can provide for you guys I can post it, just don't know which one.
Thanks.
I too was experiencing lockups and reboots, turned out to be caused by Substratum theme engine, removed it and now phone works like a watch ?

I don't have Substratum installed
Yes , am also facing similar issue...
I am getting a blank black screen.,that confusing me that it get locked up or does it switched off...
I think the problem is in beta system updates....

Damnn, i've got the same problem.. blank screen with white light notif then off, when 3T not get random shutdown they give me random restart every 2-3mins, aarrgggghhh really annoying!
same problem with my devices
And then whats the solution for these problem? Arrggghhh
I've tried wiping system and reflashing OOS, with custom kernel and root. The problem hasn't come up (yet) so try that maybe.

Anyway which kernel?
I have the same with stock and beta OOS, stock and bluspark kernel. Never rooted. I though that maybe i just press power button in my pocket but then it happend on the desk as well.
Similar issue, sometimes black screen with unresponsive buttons (they do vibrate), sometimes I can unlock it via fingerprint to the home screen but touch is unresponsive, only appswitch via recents button works but can't exit the app with home button, sometimes it just reboots.
Never had these issues from dirty flashing from open betas but now when I started clean these things began lol. Seems more laggy too.

I just clean flashed all stock, pure without UBL, root but still same. Then tried to UBL, MAGISK + Franco Kernel, and still the same condition...
Ahhh i hate this phone! Really sucks
Hmm yeah I've had another crash but this just happened during boot.
Still have no idea what the possible cause is. Not aure why it's just us few that are experiencing this.
Maybe faulty hardware? Who knows
I used to have this problem when running the open betas for the 3t, I moved over to RR and there hasn't been any problems especially after the latest update
Edit. Also when turning on the phone the bootanimation (the two dots spinning around the thingy) it would freeze constantly, also fixed after moving to RR
My phone was crashed few times when using cameraMX application. I do not know reason, maybe last update fault? I have simple question, why we have beta version? Where is stable
Yeh I've had it freeze on multiple accounts while booting up. It would crash while the two dots are spinning and would need a hard reset.
Many times it would crash when entering my PIN for smart lock or lock screen as well..
Issue seems to have popped up again., after flashing OOS OB 14.
Most frequent symptom is after entering pin or unlocking device, at random times it would lock up Android and crash (shut down, not reboot). So I have to boot my device again by holding down power button.
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.
