I have read the threads of Prime owners that had a problem with random reboots. I was lucky that I hadn't had this problem. Actually the only issue I've had is that my GPS is completely dead. However, I notice that after the .14 update I am experiencing periodic reboots. Has anyone else (that didn't have a reboot problem before the recent update) notice a similar issue?? Thanks
My Tf prime was working fine on. 13 (but has random reboot on. 11)
after upgrade to. 14, Reboot issue comes back, so I downgarde to. 13 again....and it works great again

Make sure you do a cold boot after any firmware update. (hold vol down and power button). Ultimate solution is to do a factory reset. Especially if you experience problems. DO not install any apps. See what happens with factory. Then slowly install your apps from market and go from there.

I've tried the reset/cold boot (using the power/volume down option and also the reset below the SD card slot). Sorry if this is a dumb question, but how do I do a factory reset? I've seen reference to it, but can't find a "how to" anywhere. Thanks again.
nope, mines was fine on .11 then when i updated to .13 i have the reboot and sleep of death issue. .14 update did not cause any issues yet...so far so good

Go to settings, Backup and reset, Factory data reset. Note, this will erase all your data, and your apps, but, if you have your tablet set to backup your Google account, once you enter it again on the initial setup, all the apps will restore to the tablet (Minus saved games)
If you are rooted, you can take ths further with Titanium Backup, grabbing saved games and whatnot. Also note: If you have ANYTHING of value, any docs or pictures on the internal memory (Shows as "SD Card), back all that up to a Micro SD, or somewhere in the cloud with Box.net, Skydrive or DropBox.
Finally, if you have any apps that need deactivation on one device before activating on another, such as CoPilot - HAHA - (A navigation app, hahahahaha... sorry, the tears were rolling on that one) better deactivate BEFORE you wipe the tablet.

The options are few if you have persistent rebooting at .11, .13 or .14. But at least now you HAVE options. Thanks to the good folks who figured out how to downgrade FW, and apply any level that works best for you (though I am truly puzzled why suppossedly identical hardware experiences the wide variations of outcome on each sucesive update. We cannot blame software installations (except in a few cases, such as the guy who turned WeatherBug Updates off) since quite a few folks have done a Factory Data Reset, with no change)
Search for a link to the thread that shows how to apply whatever version is most stable on your particular tablet.

Tried the factory reset...it did the reset, but it was to ICS and the .14 update automatically. It also started downloading all my apps automatically. I did another factory reset, but this time didn't enter my google account, the apps didn't auto download, but the freeze/reboot is still happening and if anything...it's worse. My tablet is all but useless now.
I downloaded ver 9.4.2.14 and now have more reboot issuses than I had before. Would reboot 1-2 times a day now reboots 2-3 times in a 30min time span. How do you go back to ver 13 was better than.
sorry to hear that manly..
I was fine with .11 and the .13 gave me bad battery and .14 gives me constant reboots. I followed advice about doing a cold reboot and it made the freeze/reboot issue worse. So like you my Prime is almost useless. I'm going to try and save my pics and then may try a factory reset. Which IMO we should not have to do if the firmware was done correctly.
I do need to look for the post about rolling back of a firmware that works.
Like everyone else, the .14 update has horribly ruined my device. Typing 1 email, the device rebooted 3 times. This should be a bigger deal then this! Does anyone know of a more social place to voice these complaints?

why have you resurrected 3+ threads with this exact same post? its not needed on all reboot threads. one is good enough.
reported for other posts to be deleted. this info is only needed in one. spamming all reboot threads with this won't solve problem any faster.
good info but dang, don't keep reposting it in all reboot threads spanning very old firmwares..lol
I don't mean to spam but to reach out to everyone who is facing reboots, but lazy to search properly. ASUS doesn't seem to take this seriously at all. I gave them the steps and was asked to contact the local support instead.
Do the math, after so many firmware revisions, still facing reboots.
Can you help try the steps and let me know if it reboots for you as well? Thank you.

I just recently got the vibrant and got the OTA the same day, the gallery freezes about half the time, and about half of the time that it freezes i have to pull the battery, i cant get to task manager or put the phone to sleep and wake it up.
I searched google and there are alot of links regarding it but i didnt find any that gave any ideas to fix it.
I searched this forum and nothing came up. Anyway, I have a class 6 card, the gallery on my nexus is very quick and has never frozen, so it is definitely the phone.
In my experience with the g1, MT3g, N1 and now this vibrant, any time ive received an OTA it has come with costs, it always brings fixes and features but also causes new problems, large and small. So I dont doubt what I found while searching, that the gallery issue is a result of the recent OTA for the GPS fix. Anyway, its kind of silly that this awesome, technologically advanced device freezes when you open up one of the native apps. But can we do anything about it? And if not, is it likely that Samsung will address it in another OTA? thanks
edit: ive also just recently had my phone just turn off every day or so, and it wont power back on until i pull the battery. Maybe these 2 issues mean i have a defective device? Or is this par for the course with the tmobile galaxy s?
Overclock your phone to only run at 800-1000MHz. It completely solved this for me, 400-1000MHz still hiccups.
thank you, yet another reason to root i suppose...
So no way to fix that with stock phone? =(

That is odd, I've never had my gallery freeze or my phone reboot... Are you sure you don't have some rogue app? Perhaps you should factory reset and start fresh? Do you have any "junk" apps on your phone (stupid apps)?
I had a freeze on opening gallery right after the JI6 was released. I think it was trying to recreate the thumbnails from scratch and download pics from my Picasa acct.
Happened one time only and I actually had to pull the battery since it went unresponsive. Never had a problem after that.
~SB
perhaps unmount and remount the INTERNAL memory card. I've done this before just because I saw it as a suggestion and it recreated my gallery.
I having the same issue. I am ready to delete it and use a different app. Is that possible?

If you're rooted you can probably remove it.
I have tried factory reset so I don't think its a rogue app. I got the ota the day I got the phone so I can't compare before and after. If some people aren't having the issue period maybe a warranty replacement would resolve it. Of course, if we do end up getting froyo maybe that's something that will improve. Love the phone either way, I just get fed up with stuff like gallery freeze, random reboot, GPS issues, etc... stuff that i would think shouldn't get past product testing.

Wow i am so sick of reading some loser tell somebody to "search next time". You'll be so very relieved to know that I actually did search, and all i found out is that you dont have any friends. But honestly I did find your thread, however it didnt seem to me to be on point with what i wanted to ask specifically. Your post says that "watchdog" told you your gallery is a "resource hog" and that you have to kill it. I dont know what watchdog is, nothing told me anything i just cant get into my gallery app very often, so that didnt seem applicable. Also, i got ji6 the day i got my phone so putting the gallery issue in the context you did ("since ji6 update") didnt mean anything to me, i dont anything about this phone pre-ji6 update. All I know is that my gallery app sucks, your thread was a bit technical for me to be able to apply to my particular issue
Anyway, now my gallery freezes every single time i initially try to open it, i have had to pull the battery 6 times in a row, it works after the pull. This has been my favorite android phone (of 4) but now i just want to set it on fire and run over it with my car. I guess Samsung and Android arent interested in making their $600 products work, does anybody know how i can fix my phone so that it does what it is supposed to? Also im not rooted which i assume probably makes it impossible for me to fix? thanks for any help.

Hi all. New to the forums...watched the degrading vid before signing up even and am somewhat newby with phones. I've scoured this site, the motorola support site...which is apparently down til next week now...and a few other sites I came across via pages of google searching. I cannot find the answer other than doing a factory reset...which I really do not want to do as I have a LOT of apps and info of my phone. It should all be backed up via motoblur and the lookout app's backup. But I have months worth of scheduling info in there which will take me more hours to reenter...I reeeeeally don't want to if I don't have to.
Problem: My Atrix 4g is caught in a bootloop. While this is a somewhat common problem, mine seems to be a little different. I'll point form details below and will greatly appreciate any help I get. If you need any more info, please let me know.
-caught in a boot loop. It boots regularly, but reboots about every 2 minutes. There is a good 30-45 seconds where I can access apps etc. However, I don't think that the phone completely finishes its boot cycle before rebooting.
-Occasionally...and I believe ONLY after I reboot via the down volume/power button method...the phone will stay on long enough to receive notifications from the web. Facebook notifications etc etc. Most of the time it doesn't.
-If I had to guess, it's trying to boot some app near the end of its boot cycle that it doesn't like. And I'm assuming it just doesn't like this app's latest update as I've never had this problem before.
-Prior to rebooting via volume/power button, I was getting an error message which I wrote down...and have since accidentally erased. It was something along the lines of "system process failed" and I then had the option of force close or wait.
-Every 3 seconds or so, my notification light flashes purple. It typically shows green during startup, red for notifications...I've never seen purple before.
-I downloaded almost every app I could over the last 10 days of 10, 10c apps from the market.
-I haven't opened most of the apps, and haven't had any problems with any apps that I have opened
-Most of my apps are set to auto-update. Therefore, I don't know which app update could be the problem...assuming this is the problem
-I'm in the process of removing my apps 1 at a time every 2 minutes or so...as I get a chance during the final stages of the phone's rebooting. So far, 10 apps in and no success. Only another 200 apps or so to go. ugh...
Any ideas? help? booze?
Thanks in advance.
How about wiping the cache and Dalvik cache? This will not affect or uninstall any of your apps or personal info.
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
Thanks for the advice and quick response. I don't seem to be able to clear the dalvik cache without rooting the phone...is this correct? Went thru the market for dalvik cache cleaning apps and they all require root. My phone isn't rooted.
ok if your not rooted does this mean your on a stock rom? is it possible one of these 200+ apps are a virus or malicious? root your phone use titanium backup to backup all your apps and factory reset or go try and get a replacement and keep your sd wich will have the backup
I had a boot loop problem too once. Turned out to be a defective SD card. removed it and it booted. It could not be read by any PC either so it was definitely dead.
i have been really really happy with this phone ... until recently. stock ROM. not rooted. over the past couple weeks i've been having problems where the phone dialer doesn't find a name i type in. says "unknown recipient". then i have to click the people icon and manually find the person ... the contact list take FOREVER to launch. once i do this, it works from then on for some period of time. also when i go to read a text it says loading for a LONG time. seems like the android native apps (contacts, messaging, etc ...) is having some problems. not sure, but all this seems to be happening since installing the last OTA update.
A restart of the phone fixes the problem but only for a short period of time. any help would be appreciated.

Its really not too long of a process with the right tools. Backup apps like Titanium Backup, My Root Backup or this newer one im been using, App2zip. I use to be like you. Spent why too long setting things back up. Now i use App2zip for my user apps and flash right after i flash a new rom. Upon bootup, all my apps are there. Not recommend to do with System apps..hint hint.
I bought the Galaxy S3 two months after the EVO. EVO was driving me nuts. I kept the EVO anyway. Can never have too many devices, right?
Running Mean 4.4 rom now and its like night and day from the first two months with the EVO. New advancements from Zep with multitasking and all the incredible work from all the devs in the community, im enjoying the EVO now.
S3 for sale... Just kidding.
This latest update fixed google wallet but looks to have made all of the google apps buggy in the process. Hopefully they'll push an update to fix it soon, but in the meantime rebooting the phone when it acts up will help temporarily.

Yet another reason to leave well enough alone lol
+1 for mean rom, I don't think I could go back. Part of the reason I like it besides the obvious fact that the phone runs way better the ota updater is fantastic this is the first rom I have used that has had it and probably won't go back to a rom without it. I actually have an update downloading in the background now. You deffinty should hard reset and since you have to do that anyway might as well root.

I was about to start a thread for the exact same problem! I too have been hesitant to root my phone out of simple laziness... Maybe I'll shoot an email to HTC and see what they say. Definitely related to the latest OTA though.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
I have had the same issue since the last OTA update, and have tried a few things with limited success. I've tried removing all contacts, and resynching, backing up and clearing the data from the messaging app, soft and hard resets.
Of everything, the soft reset seems to have cut down how often I get this bug. Interestingly, my brothers phone has about the same frequency of the issue, but neither of my parents phones have the problem.
So HTC responded and said to try rebooting into "Safe Mode" and if that doesn't work to perform a factory reset. Here's the email:
If you have backed up your information and cleared the data from Phone, Messages, Contact Storage, and Dialer Storage, but you still have this issue, I would then recommend that you test your Evo 4G LTE in safe mode. This will disable third party apps and processes from launching when the phone is powered on. You will still be able to make and receive calls, text messages, email, and use the internet.
To put your Evo 4G LTE into Safe Mode, use the following steps. Be patient with these steps, you may not get it into Safe Mode on the first attempt.
Go into settings>power and uncheck Fastboot, then power off your phone.
With the phone powered off, press the Power key on your device.
When you see the first load screen, press & hold Volume Down key until OS loads.
"Safe Mode" text will appear on the lower left of screen to advise that you are in safe mode,to get out of safe mode just restart the phone.
If you can access these apps fine in safe mode, this would indicate some kind of conflict or interference from a third party application. You would need to rule them out by uninstalling the apps until you find that the phone is working normally again.
If the issue persists in safe mode, I would then recommend that you back up your data and perform a factory reset. If you would like assistance with backing up your data, please let me know and I will walk you through this process. The reset will restore the phone to a "like new" state. All personal data such as emails, text messages, internet bookmarks, photos, videos, music, documents, settings, call history, market apps, and any contacts and calendar entries that have not been backed up to a PC or server will be erased. Data on the SD card is not affected by the reset.
To reset your Evo 4G LTE, use the following method :
***If you use Google Wallet, please perform these steps before you perform the reset***
-Open Google Wallet application
-Tap on Menu
-Tap on Settings
-Tap on Reset Google Wallet
1. With the device turned off, press and hold the Volume Down button. While continuing to hold this, press and release the Power Button.
2. When the factory reset menu appears, then release the Volume Down button.
3. Use the Volume Down button again to highlight FACTORY RESET, and then press the Power Button to select it.
I hope that these steps help you to gain access to these apps properly again, Stephen, and I hope you have a great day!

Im going to have to disagree with people and say, being stock along with all the updates have really improved my experience with sense 4. I've owned this phone since launch and really hated its performance. I eventually sold it and got a GS3 for 2 months and now I eventually want Galaxy Note 2. Anyways I sold the GS3 in a attempt to raise money for the note 2 but came across a great deal on a stock white Evo, which i now own. Let me tell you. This baby is silky smooth in stock form, much better than anything I've been flashing.

It's definitely no fun when your phone stops working as expected, and I'll be glad to help you get your phone back in working order! To best assist you I'll need to know what phone you have, but from your description it appears you have an Android powered phone. With this is mind I believe that we should try wiping the phone's cache partition. For your convenience I've attached a document that details how to perform the wipe. This does not delete any critical data from your phone like contacts, so you don't have to worry about losing any data. If this does not correct the concern please let me know, and also include the serial number for your phone so we can research the situation more deeply. Thank you for being a member of the HTC community, and I hope you have a wonderful afternoon!

It appears that clearing caches/app data doesn't help with the problem, but rebooting into safe mode (press and hold vol down during the splash screen) does fix it. I believe this means that there is a 3rd party app causing the problem. Now to start uninstalling apps till the problem fixes itself. Ugh. Considering the problem doesn't occur half the time this will be a difficult process... Anybody have any suggestions on how to quickly figure out which app is causing this aside from uninstalling them one by one?
Check for cpu hogs
It sounds like u may have a cpu hog or a poorly written app. U might be able to tell what it is by checking your battery usage. Setting ngs/battery/battery usage
Biggest usage should be screen and android system ect.
If not, there may be a some apps to check that for u.
but if it comes to it, after the factory reset, start with the necessary apps, stock plus Google apps. After that do ur widgets, wait a few hours, add a few more, and wait.
This way u can limit new processes and boil it down to a few.
Good luck
Interested to see what app you are using that's causing issues. Good luck as well.
Not sure what is causing this to my Nexus 9 lte on t-mobile. It has been working great then today this message will just not stop popping up.
I've trying going to the apps area and uninstalling play store update, clearing cache but it's tough to do since when you click ok on this message, it immediately pops right back up.
I've tried wiping dalvik and cache in recovery to no avail.
I have even nandroided back to the stock with root I created immediately after I rooted using the wugfresh program.
It boots fine, then I install the programs I need to install and update the apps. All works fine. However, when I reboot, this message comes back again and pops up immediately again once I hit the ok button.
Please help. I figured once 5.1 came out, I would just wipe and flash the 5.1 but the way this is going is pretty much rendering my tablet useless since the message is always popping up.
Please help. Thank you,

Weird. I just had the same thing happen on my MotoX (2013) yesterday, but my N9 is fine.
My MotoX is rooted, so I manually deleted all gapps from /system/app/ and /system/priv-app/ and /data/app/ then reinstalled SlimRoms minimal gapps package. I never did figure out what the exact problem was.

mine is doing this today too. first time I've reboot in a while and it started up after the boot. im on stock with fire ice kernel. musta been a google play service.update that broke something.
I had this happen today: constantly popping up making tablet virtually useless.
tried various things, wipe cache/dalvik, reset all app preferences, and others.
This is what finally worked:
Settings->apps->all->Google play services->manage space->clear all data
This is a rooted WiFi N9 running stock 5.01
Hope this helps!
i cleared data and cache of just about everything and unistalled everything i could (tedious task trying to hit the screen before the anr pop up). i just used this as an excuse to switch from stock to AICP - i'm on wifi only. so no biggie and i got a better more customizable version of lolli. still PIA that it even happened.
This just happened to my N9 wifi this morning. It rebooted on its own (stock but rooted) then the message came up. The problem I had was that the message wouldn't stop so I couldn't access anything in the Settings. I tried the no wipe with Wug's but no change. Trying a wipe mode. What a PITA. Heading to google forums to see what's been reported.
The problem is being reported at google products forums--happening on N5 also. So far, wipe with toolkit (even using the factory reset mode) hasn't done anything. On to checking which recovery I have and do on tab reset.
Happened again this morning!!!
Tablet startup was unusually slow then i was greeted by gapps crashing over and over rendering the tablet unusable.
I'm starting to think this is caused by data corruption. Filesystem or nand problems?
Lollipop is killing lots of nexus 7 devices, I'm worried we might be next!!!

Google play services was updated to 7.3.28, see if that's the version you have. Also try clearing cache for it.
Sent From Capsule Corp.
I followed jetfin's suggestion and cleared all data and it worked!!
A Google search reveals that a lot of people have had this issue for the past couple of months.
It saddens me to see the state that android/Google are in.
Edit: looking at battery usage, I found that the dex2oat utility has been working too hard. I'm guessing the problem is with ART corrupting the play services update. Either a ROM issue or a bad update from Google!!
Works!

this has also been happening to me over the last few days - mine was occuring on galaxy s5 though, had to keep re-installing a backup (lucky I had a recent one). fixed it by wiping google play data.. popups stopped immediately
I had the notification for this update for a few weeks before I installed it, thinking that bugs will be flushed out by then, how wrong was I!
After installing it, the phone no longer feels as snappy, but the major problem is the camera. It takes so long to take and save a picture! I had seen that someone else having the same problem online saying it is due to saving to SD card. However, it was never a problem before this update! So what had changed? This is a problem with the stock camera app and open camera. I can keep hitting the shutter button and nothing happens. If I force close the app, the picture will not be saved, indicating that it is taking a very long time saving.
Also, everything else seems to be slower. I use F-Stop with MX Player for my videos and they open noticeably slower and drops frame. Chrome is also showing signs of slowness, with Amazon page taking longer to respond to slides after loading.
No, I did not factory reset my phone after updating as I see that as the nuclear option and want to avoid that. Is factory resetting the only way to get it working smoothly again?
mine is running without any problems, or bugs, lags... try to do factory reset
Mine is also working perfectly well, and the camera works like a charm, no delays at all.... perhaps it's because I do not have an SD card inserted, so no doubt of where to store the image....
dude make sure you do factory reset after OTA update... that's like the basic common sense since few year back.

Most OTA updates are designed to update your device while keeping your data intact and avoiding the need to reinstall and re-setup all your apps. A factory reset is normally done only if (a) the update specifically requires it, usually when there is a huge change in the ROM or (b) some problems occur after update because of the user's particular setup.
The PDTMIXM OTA works fine for me - as least I haven't found any problems or sluggishness so far. I haven't factory reset after the update. Like others, I don't have a micro SD card in my phone as I have two SIMs in it. Perhaps this is why I don't see the sluggishness encountered by some.
10.3.1 OTA just went online

Strange! The update 10.3.1 available notification started to appear on my phone two days ago, but when I go into settings it now says no update available and the original notification has disappeared. Have they withdrawn this update so quickly or is it just my phone?

I'm not sure if you're referring to my post I made about the video lag when media is saved on the SD card.. But i just got the 10.3.1 update today and the problem is now solved.
