Hi,
I'm a owner of a Samsung Galaxy S Plus (I9001). I have the CyanogenMod 10 installed and also a second partition on my SD Card.
So far so good, I restart my phone everything goes well, even with the second partition. The phone is not particularly fast but I can't blame it as I have lots of apps installed.
What I really don't understand it's when it stays on for some time, without any explanation or visible error my anti-virus starts to restart itself again and again (Avast anti-virus) then everything on my status bar starts to restart itself (Juice Defender and Accuweather). The other issue is the keyboard starts and the closes restarting itself again and again, I can't write anything.
I tried several task killers to see if any app was causing this issue but nothing worked. The only thing that stops this behaviour is restarting the phone, then everything starts working well and for some hours (5-6) then the restarting begins again.
I find myself restarting the phone two or three times per day because of this. And also by restarting the battery looses a lot of it's power.
Any ideas to solve this?
Cheers
I had the same problem. Try uninstalling Avast, reboot your phone, then reinstall it. Worked for me but as for the other apps doing it, I'm not sure.

I already tried to uninstall and install again. I even changed to Kaspersky a couple of times...same result. This probably has nothing to do with Avast.

I posted this in the A500 forum as well, but it's probable that this is not a problem limited to my device, and it's also possible that there is a rom that might help me out.
I purchased my tablet on the day it came out, so it's long out of warranty. Everything has been fine with it until three nights ago.
I woke up in the morning to a crashed app alert. I don't get crashed apps often, but it does happen, so I hit ok. A few seconds later I was inundated with crashed app alerts. At that point, any app I opened would also crash immediately. Figuring a good reset would fix it, I turned it off...and it wouldn't turn back on.
I did finally get it to start by holding the volume up and power button.
But that didn't fix the problem. I've discovered that it is somewhat stable if I keep wifi off, but if wifi is on, within minutes everything starts to crash again.
I tried uninstalling some of the apps that crash, but when I restart, the apps are back. It doesn't matter what I uninstall, when I restart, it's back. Installed apps also disappear, the wallpaper resets...basically nothing I do sticks once I restart. I tried to factory reset using the button combination required for my device, and the screen gives the "erasing user data" message, but when it loads up, everything is just as I left it. I tried using the android os option to factory reset, but when I hit "erase everything", the button depresses, but nothing happens.
So obviously, I'm a bit perplexed.
I've never rooted it, and I ran an anti-virus scan a few hours before this all happened and it came up clean.
Anyone ever experienced this? Any advice? If no one has any ideas one how to fix it, is there a way to bypass the main os completely with a rom? I have absolutely no idea how those work, so it may be obvious that it won't, but I figured I'd check.
Thanks in advance! And thanks for reading this far, even if you have no advice!
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!

Hey,
I've had my S6 Edge for about a month or two now. Never experienced any random reboots until today. I restarted it earlier today, and now it keeps restarting several times an hour. It most often restarts when I unlock it, after the screen has been off for some minutes. It also restarts if I browse the internet or browse Play Store. It reboots to the Samsung logo, then directly to my home screen. I don't have to enter any pin, unlike when I manually reboot it. The phone is not rooted and I haven't installed any apps in days. It seems like me restarting my phone triggered this.
Any ideas or suggestions? It's VERY frustrating, the phone is nearly useless as it is now. I can't use it for more than a couple of minutes before it reboots, losing everything I was doing.
I have tried wiping cache. Still restarting.
Thanks

Try using it in safe mode. If the problem disappears you know it is a third party app
It doesn't restart in safe mode. I've uninstalled a bunch of apps but it doesn't stop restarting in normal mode anyway.
If the phone is fine in safe mode, it can't be anything but a 3rd party app causing problem?

Safe mode is very similar to normal mode.
The difference is all non-system apps have been removed.
It is a mode put into all Samsung phones to diagnose issues that may show up.
It is a very basic, simple way to diagnose problems.
Since your issue disappears in safe mode, try uninstalling every app you have installed, then download them again, one by one

Thanks. It turned out to be a bad app, that I installed a week ago or so. Of course, it was the one app I didn't want to have to uninstall. Oh well, at least it doesn't reboot every other minute now.
Thanks for the help, much appreciated.

It was Casper, an alternative client for SnapChat.
I have the same problem but samsung service centre fixed it by changing the main board and battery.
I had only one restart and had phone over month
And it restarted bcos I was installing all apps at once from play store ?
Hi,
My phone restarts randomly and when it comes back, the sd card isn't read. When I go to storage it shows corrupted, and says that it needs to be setup. When I restart the phone myself the sd card works as if nothing happened. I've purchased a new sd just in case, and they're both doing the same thing. Both have no read errors on my pc. When the phone restarts itself, it's a quick restart, shows the samsung logo then back to home screen.
I haven't installed any new apps, but I did do an OTA upgrade to N950U1UEU5CRK1 version. It started happening soon after
Random restart and loss of data
I myself am having the same issue. After the random restart I find that some of my apps will not work properly as if saved data is now missing. I have found that restarting the device again after random restart is a quick fix until it happens again. It was happening on a daily basis multiple times per day, but now I haven't noticed as much eitehr that or I am not paying close attention.

Hey guys!
I've been experiencing some regular random restarts and app crashes. The phone restarts randomly with the Auto Restart Option being turned off and some of the apps crash and I get a notification that the app is experiencing multiple crashes. Then I go to the Device Care and I see that it says that a certain app has experienced multiple crashes. Some of the apps were the Camera App, GBoard, Settings, Google APP etc. Did not have any issues with the device until now. I have factory reset the phone and cleared the partiotion cache. Now the phone restarts randomly at least once a day but it still experiences the issue with the app crashes. Have you guys experienced something like this? I have researched the issue on the web but could not find any particular fixes. I do not think that this is a hardware issue as the phone charges (wired/wireless) and it does not restart randomly during charing. The device also connects to my pc with USB cable without problems as well. I also self checked everything in the Samsung Members app. Everything was working properly. Do you have any suggestitions or advise on how to fix that?
Many thanks!!!!!

I don't have a suggestion for an instant fix. But I suspect one of two possibilities:
1) One other non-Google app running in the background is the culprit.
You don't say whether you did a massive uninstall of apps. Either uninstall one at a time to see if there's improvement. Or all of them.
2) Something is corrupt in the metadata that came from your most recent Android OS patch. Best solution but the most effort would be to do a factory reset and introduce apps slowly over days.
Hi guys I just wanted to mention that something similar happened to my S21. And in my case, it was related to the way I charged my phone. So, I had this very long zoom meeting and my phone was dying so I plugged my phone to a USB port extender plugged to my laptop. My phone was charging super slow probably for an hour or two. After that the random shutting down started nonstop. I restarted, clean the phone app cache, nothing worked. I found the solution: Just properly charge your phone! So I just turned my phone off and plugged to my Anker fast charger and let it plugged until it hit the 85% (I have that option on to extend the battery life) And this fixed the problem . Hope it helps! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...5c-20&linkId=2fb4916d90c22865e74ea6be35805c09
