Ive had the samsung s4 for about 2 and a half week now. I rooted and romed the phone the day I got it with no issues until a few days ago when I get random shut downs. Every time this happens I would have to turn the phone back on, no battery pull needed to turn it back on. Anyone know how to fix this issue? Should I flash back to the stock verizon mdk? And reset the whole phone.
Without more specifics its hard to determine the root of the problem. Anything specific you did before this started happening? If you cant determinr it then I would backup anything you dont want to erase and then try doing a factory data reset. See if that solves it. If not might have to use odin and restore the phone back to stock.

Has anybody experienced any random reboots? I'm using a T999 and on a stock deodexed ROM. Last Saturday...I had a crap load...(of course it was the first time showing off my phone to my friends, go figure).
Just now...I set it down for about 2 minutes...I come back and it's rebooting.
Im on verizon and I haven't had a single reboot yet. It could be a app causing the reboots. Should probably try a factory reset. Probably a stupid question, but its not getting too hot is it?
For the past week or so the wifi radio on my phone has been acting up. Once or twice a day it will start to constantly cycle on and off. If I manually turn it off while it's in the "on" phase, it usually stays off. But when I go to turn it back on it just goes back into the loop, even if I wait an hour. The only way to fix it is to reset the phone, sometimes more than once (hard reset holding power and volume up). I rooted my phone over a month ago and haven't done anything else root-related since (no ROMs, mods, not even deodex). I did install AdAway, but that was at the time I rooted it and this just started happening. Not sure what could be causing this or if I just need to contact Verizon for a replacement.

I got a DNA last week and lose wifi when I'm on my patio, which never happened with my Galaxy Nexus LTE. In the house, the wifi cycles a couple of times a day. I would appreciate any input.
This happens to me no matter what network I try to connect to or where I am at.
Anyone else have this happen? I am ready to do a factory reset and I really don't want to since this phone doesn't have an SD card.
any one with same prob?

Did you install a custom ROM and/or kernel?
If custom, a kernel change may help.
If you did any tweaks like overclock, undo those changes.
But to answer your question, this hasn't happened to me.

I rooted my phone but have not done anything else besides install AdAway. I planned on installing a few tweaks like the battery percent indicator and location icon remover but honestly the whole odex/deodex thing really confused me so I haven't done anything else.
I am going to get a new SIM card today because my phone keeps saying it doesn't have one and I have to reboot once or twice to get it to come back up, but I doubt that could be the cause of my wifi issues.
Hi guys,
I am experiencing a strange thing on my phone. Some days ago i tried DOVA a PA 2.50 port, and at first it was working well and all was good for some days, then 2 or 3 days ago it started to crash and freeze or just didn't wake up, randomly. So i did a full wipe again and tried to see if it fixed the problem, unfortunately it didn't.
My next move was to fully wipe again and flash all the way back to the official PA 3.15, where there was no problem, but the phone still crash
So here i am, asking if any of you could help or even tell me my phone is done and needs to get repaired.
It may be due to sds fix. Try kernel linked in my signature. No more freezes for me
I get freezes on all cm kernels

If you still can, reset your counter via Triangle Away because you might have to bring it to a service center if the device dies. So to be on the safe side I would recommend to do it while you still can.
So before sending my phone to rep, anyone els might have a solution?
The phone freeze randomly.
I can't wake it up often - a new message do wake the phone, so that is really strange.
Factory reset. Format internal and external sd. Backup everything first though

I will give it a try later
Okay, i did an unroot and then root. and all is running great
I bought an OG Razr from my friend. It worked great for several months. Basically as soon as I got it, I updated to the ICS update, rooted the phone and switched it to page plus.
Since there was no good way to run a custom ROM on this phone until recently, I've been running the stock one until about a month ago.
I was really hoping that after using safestrap and using CM11 that my problem would stop. It was good for a day or two, but then it started back. I was using the current version of JBX kernel, so I wiped romslot-1 and started from scratch and stock kernel. After this I was convinced it was app-related, but after a lot of trial and error, I'm not sure anymore...
I was convinced it had something to do with sleep mode..I found an app that suppose to keep your phone awake, but it continues to do it even with the app running. The phone will NEVER reset while the screen is on!! I can use it all freaking day and it's perfect...but if I turn the screen off and check back in 20 minutes or so, the phone will be powered off....sometimes it will be hung up, and I will have to do a hard reset. Sometimes it will turn itself off 2-3 times an hour (once again, only after screen is off).
Could this have something to do with me moving the phone to page plus..? I've noticed people saying to wipe the cache and see if it continues...I've been wanting to factory reset my phone and clear cache etc, but I'm afraid it will screw up my page plus config..will it? Will the phone still be rooted?
I can't really find many people having the same issue as me, so any advice is greatly appreciated! I cannot afford a new phone at the moment, nor can I afford for my page plus to be screwed up.. so that's why I'm so hesitant to mess with the primary ROM.
Thanks in advance!
Joshua
Any advice or tips..? Thanks again

Thanks.. No really, THANKS!
I have experienced this happening to me as well, although it is very infrequently. This only started after rooting and installing Safestrap. Initially I had flashed CM10.2 Snapshot in Slot 1 and CM11 Nightly from December in Slot 2 while leaving the Stock Slot alone. I can't recall if it was CM11 or CM10.2 when I experienced the phone shutting off. Since then I have deleted Slot 2 and run clean installs of CM11 Nightlies in Slot 1. I no longer see the switching off. GAPPS are the only other packages that I have flashed. I have tried many devs GAPP packages but have been running PAGAPPS for a few months now without any issues. Looking back it's possible one of the GAPPS packages was causing the phone to shut off, IDK.
Sorry I don't have an answer to the problem but thought I'd share my experience hoping you our others may get something out of it. Are you sure the phone is powering off and not stuck in a sleep state? Try plugging the phone in to charge, see of that causes it to wake, also try connecting a PC and see if it is recognized. The only other time this will happen (power down) is when the battery goes dead. Maybe your battery is getting old or possibly a bad connection. Get yourself a spudger tool, remove the battery and clean the contacts or better yet replace the battery. Last time I checked they were very inexpensive.
Good luck!
XT912 - CM11 Nightly - PAGAPPS Micro
as google stated, if you're running CM11, the first thing I would assume is wiping the dalvik and cache (wiping those or even factory resetting shouldn't mess up your page plus setup, that info is written elsewhere on the phone. Second assumption would be that it was a bad gapps flash.
Happened to me on a warranty replacement.
Hi,
I just wanted to add that I've had this happen on a complete stock XT912 refurbished warranty replacement. Had to send it back under warranty, the day after I got it...
Okay, Now I know I am not the only one with this problem. Also, I know I am one of the FEW people who have this problem.
Story:
I bought the Note the other day from someone, they claimed that the note was stuck in a boot loop. I purchased it, Did a factory restore etc. The phone came on and was working perfectly. THEN the battery died, now I understand what she means by stuck in boot loop.
What happens:
Phone turns on
Starts up
Freezes after about 2 minutes
Reboots & Repeats
Now there have been a couple times I can get it to stay on for about 12 hours then it will just freeze and reboot. I have tried factory firmware restore, I have rooted, I have tried custom Roms, I have unrooted, I have done stock rom. The battery is NOT bad, it holds a charge perfectly well, the Power button is NOT stuck. I have no idea what else I can do, I have tried just about everything and looked all over this site for the past 2 days trying to figure out info on this problem, but so few people are having it that it is basically just looked past.
Any help is MUCH appreciated and I will be very grateful if this issue can be resolved.
Have you tried removing the battery / changing the battery / using a different usb/charging cable/ac-dc adapter? Then clear the cache and dalvik cache and reboot. If you can get it to stay on for 12 hours I doubt that you have a serious problem.
Power button perhaps?

Not sure about power button on this one. It wouldnt freeze, it would just reboot.
I question software on it. If you can get it running long enough to find out what it is running.
I might question more, is it running OS for the right device or possibly was it a clean flash?
Sounds like its running an older 4.2 JB rom......notorious for random reboots. Could be a rom that just may not work on you phone. Mine could run all except Carbon Rom. Dont know why, just couldnt. No biggie, plenty out there.
