Hey guys!! My phone has some random reboots due to some hardware problem. When it switches off, i remove the battery for some time. Then when i switch on the phone again, the time that it shows is completely different from the actual time. Can anyone help me with this problem? Thanks!!
Try a factory reset & see if random reboot issue is gone.. I don't think it's a hardware problem

My P7510 started to do a strange thing.
I usually never turn off the device and I just let it in sleep mode with everything off to save battery (wifi, bluetooth, ...)
Lately I noticed that sometimes the screen turns on and off by itself every few minutes.
No physical harm has ever been done to the tab and the power button doesn't seem to be sticky, so I think it may be some kind of malware.
I'm just asking what do you guys think could cause this before going with the trouble of doing a factory reset.
btw i'm on rooted stock ics rom.
thanks
Have you installed any sort of app that has permissions to wake the device or turn on/keep the screen on when running? Try uninstalling a couple of recent apps to see if one of them is the culprit.
Got my Zu a few weeks back. When in stock, this problem occurred randomly and extremely infrequently. Now, the phone is unlocked and rooted and currently in 757 (4.4.2). Now the frequency of the problem has increased many fold. Whats the problem? ... The device just switches off without any notification or alert!! Even when fully charged. I need to switch it back on (with the power button) when I realize it has switched off.
This switch off randomly happens at-least 3-4 times a day. I used the "catlog" app to see if any errors or failures are logged (which may cause the shutdown), but the log entries are so many and so many are generated that they just fly past for me to figure out anything. Is there any specific error that I may have to search for? Any ideas on how to approach the problem and maybe solve it? If it turns out to be a h/w issue, I can send it for service. But I need to ensure that it’s a h/w issue Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Hi,
I'm looking for some general advice and troubleshooting for my phone's issues. My phone started crashing very often, sometimes at complete random, as well as when I was using it fairly heavily (any app that froze my phone for a second before loading before the crashing would now crash my phone). Sometimes it would reboot fine, other times it would bootloop once or twice before reloading fine. I previously tried doing a factory reset, removing my external microSD card, and updating everything via Kies and nothing worked.
I got bored and rooted my phone, did a full wipe, and flashed the latest Infamous update. The problem was still there but it wouldn't crash as often while using it because my phone could handle higher app activity but it's still there. Oddly enough, after flashing Infamous, it often fails to reboot and so I have to do a battery pull before turning it back on, otherwise it won't even vibrate after holding the power button.
I'm just wondering if you guys have any idea what the issue could be. Is it likely still something I can fix? Is this potentially a battery issue or is it a hardware issue?
Thanks so much!

So when your phone have become unstable , in what condition it was ? did you ever flash it before ... so my s2x did the same thing afer a update with odin on 4.2 ... so i have reflashed it and evrything was working good after
My device has done it to me 3 times in about a week. It's trying to load watch face (watch face is empty, with default date 23 and 3 notifications), then switches to some random menu item, shows previous loaded watch face for a moment and go back to default watch face. Reboot and reboot with recovery don't help. The only way to make it working again is reset device from menu, but it takes some time to go through settings->reset gear->ok, because gear s lives its own life in described loop and stops responding each few seconds. Is my unit dead or maybe is it a common issue?
I have the samsame problem , did you resolve it?

I had the same problem and I can't remember what I did but I fixed it somehow so sorry not a lot of help but I definitely feel sorry for you because it is a serious pain when it happens.
after exchanging my phone due to the reboot problem, im encountering a new problem
my screen sometimes turns on by itself, and if i try to operate it at that point, the screen will turn black and nothing is functional except for the soft buttons and the pull down menu, only restart will solve this
sometimes it will also just crash to black even without the screen turning on by itself scenario
does anyone have the same issue? i suspect this is a software problem
I just got the z5 last night, and experienced the same problem this morning. Turns out that if you give the power button a 'double click', the screen comes back on. So this solves the problem reported above.
HOWEVER, there must be a setting (I hope) which we can change, I find it very irritating that as soon as I make a call, the screen goes blank, and you have to double-click the power button to see what is happening. If anyone knows about such a setting, please let us know!
My screen went black about an hour ago.
After Hotspotting for 40ish minutes so I could use my iPhone on the way to work on the train, I tried to check this forum with my Z5C, the back of it was really hot & after a few minutes, the screen went black & the phone was unresponsive for around 20 seconds & then basically unusable once it came back on, for another 20ish seconds, due to lag.

Did you ever find a resolution for this? it is driving me crazy, I've tried factory resets, software repairs via the Sony Companion and this still occurs, sometimes it won't happen for a week then sometimes it happens multiple times in a row even straight after a reboot. The fix that RohitMayor describes does not work on my device. This phone is really terrible compared to the Z3 Compact
I have the same issue. This pb occurs since i have update my phone to 6.0.1...
Any solution ?
