Hello,
Months ago I noticed a weird issue in the internal browsing system of the SM-G361F
When I browse to a website using the WebGL integrated API (for exemple: https://get.webgl.org/ ) the displayed shape gets glitchy. Nothing really strange first, just some random blink or short frame flashbacks. But after a time (generally above 30 seconds) the shape become more and more glitchy until the kiss of death: the whole phone process freezes, as nothing respond anymore, then the screen gets shady on some parts and bright on the other, until a kind of bar come across the screen and the phone make a complete reboot without any transition.
I already experienced such thing a year ago, but that was due to a bad root flash that triggered the freeze on any root access request.
The other strange thing is that I discovered it when I ran a web code displaying an "holographic" shape: however, the code worked fine the first times, and I did it long ago; so would this be due to a bad firmware flash or a system harm?
If you own like me a SM-G361F device and are not easily scared (this issue normally doesn't harm the device, it will just freeze and reboot) you can test it by opening the link to the WebGL official website.
Sharing experience about this potential issue would be appreciated.
I also had this issue. I experienced severe jitter in videos, and gifs in the web browser. It seemed to occur randomly, and would sometimes stop after a little while.
I didn't experience the device crashes though, but fixed the video by downgrading "android webview"
Sorry for late reply.

Hello mate!
I must tell you that this happens not only on your device but on SM-G360H Varient too.
In the last 2-3 days i figured it also happens due to high CPU usage and the Kernel goes into panic mode.
Try disabling Kernel panic from apps like LSpeed and see if it helps!
Thanks!

If you are on a custom ROM, then remove the AOSP webview for root -> system -> apps -> Webview. And then install Google webview from the playstore and convert to system app(optional).
It may fix the random crashes and freezes. It does freeze but no more crashes

Hello friends, sorry I'm a big noob and dont know anything, I have a toshiba folio 100, recently purchased, and I managed to install the ICS 4, the latest version that is a tutorial on this same site, and is working well and is spectacular , but it happens to me that in some applications like GMAIL, Ice Age, the screen is shaking and I have to shut down the application, someone can help me change the screen resolution, so that does not happen again.
Thanks to All
I don't exactly understand the problem. Do the applications crash?
What do you mean when you say "the screen is shaking"? Maybe you're talking about the known bug when coming back from suspend?
Hi my friend,
Thank you for your feedback.
Yes, it is exactly what I mean, the screen shacke, but it already happened in all the situation before and after being suspended.
Do you have any idea about what I can do to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance.
With the stock rom, did you had the same problem? I'm running it with foliomod and the thing that you described never happened to me.
It's a known bug of the Alpha 5 release, resuming after suspend brings screen to that bad behaviour. Only workaround is to power-off the tablet instead of letting it suspend or suspending by power button. This is the only major bug of ICS on Folio (apart from the lack of bluetooth), I'm totally satisfied of how ICS is running on it, everything runs smooth, I'll never revert to any other 2.x rom, once you test ICS interface it's really hard to use phone like interfaces on a 10" tablet
I may be wrong, but the screen stops flickering after some seconds.

Yes it's stops. But after sleep,suspend its better to reboot, because it crashes.
I just try to avoid suspend/sleep mode and turn it off/on instead. Hope this issue gets fixed
Browsers
Using CM9 A5 ROM. Some browsers Opera, Dolphin, Stock and Boat crashes when surfing the internet. I noticed that Opera usually not crash but folio gets SOD when writhing something. Boat and Dolphin crashes when loading site or scrolling page content fast. I don't have idea how fix this. It's not happening very often but in half hour it can be even 2 times. Any solutions?
P.S: I use original boot.img with no overlocked CPU.
Experienced this just a couple of days ago My screen will go blank, like it went to sleep but what actually happened was it just simply shut off! I installed two logcat applications, but I don't know jack about reading logs I want to know what causes these shutdowns The latest ones happened between 6:32-6:33AM and 6:54-6:55AM (it's 7:26AM now, my time). Please help

check if you've installed any apps that prompt the auto shut-off of your phone
previously I had this problem before by then I realized it's due to the installation of one of my fault apps.

first of all,i think this is happening because of any new app,try to remember when it was started(maybe that time you installed any app and now that app shutting down mobile? or just go to task manger and clear each app that was running and also clean memory. if problem is gone and its occur again after rebooting mobile its maybe a Rom Bug,you need to change your Rom,but before doing that try to clear apps through task manger. and see what happens
i hope that helps you
Well first of all ...
Are you rooted? What is your Rom/kernel?

Thanks for the replies guys ok, here are some more info and observations.
I was originally using CyanogenMod 9.1 when this happened. At first, I tried wiping cache and dalvik cache. But it was still the same. After a few more shut downs, it got worse. It got to the point that it shuts down after the boot animation. So, I used Clockwork Mod to revert me back to rooted stock ROM. It's not as worse as CM9, but I still get shut down. Now, here are the observations I made:
1. This only happens when my phone is unplugged. It works fine otherwise.
2. This consistently happens when I connect to the Internet, for example via a browser, didn't matter whether it was Chrome or Dolphin. Offline reading via RSS or Pocket is fine. I opened FB unplugged and I got shut down as well, so I guess it's safe to say that connecting to the Internet triggers it. When accessing the Internet while unplugged, shutdown is immediate and imminent. Plugged, I can surf just fine.
3. It also gets triggered when I play a game, but my shutting down is not immediate, unlike the one above. I am playing only one game at the moment (Great Big War Game). And I am able to play a long while before getting shut down (around 30 mins)
It wasn't like this a couple of days ago, and I didn't install anything new outside Google Play updates, this is not counting the two logcat apps I installed this morning to try to diagnose the problem.
Is there a way for me to find out what's wrong via the logcat?

maybe its a cache problem of your Browser,so try to clear cache of your Browser and if its not working Flash a new stable Rom( i recommend you Sweet Rom,find it on XDA,its very stable and smooth)
and flash that rom with Hydracore kernel.
hope that helps you
have a nice day
Hi thanks for the additional info. It seems that you have the issue persisting on a stock Rom?
Have you tried to wipe on a safe kernel (if on ics)?
Do disable any overclocking or any scripts.

Guys, just a quick update. I sent it off to the service center (reverted to stock and hid all traces of being rooted). They reflashed the phone (they say it's their standard practice to do that before considering hardware defects) but the problem still didn't go away. So, I think my issue is hardware-related
This problem is not software related. It is most definitely hardware. The phone is flawed and shuts off on it's own under various conditions, all hardware related. I am not able to post externally due to not having enough posts yet. However, I have had the same issue on 3 Galaxy Note 2's from Verizon. I made a video that shows exactly what is going on and posted it on the following website...
wwwDOTgalaxynote2shutsoffDOTcom
You will have to paste that link in to a new browser and replace the DOTs accordingly to get to it, but once you see the video, you will be enlightened. Be sure to read the details I provided on that site as well. They go in to detail about the problems that I have had and the lack of proper support that Samsung is willing to provide.
Take a look at the video I made here if you can't get to that site: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjLn2yikYnI
i've recently been encountering random reboots on my Galaxy Note 3 (N9005), on stock 4.4.2 ROM.
The reboot occurs regardless of time, foreground/background running apps, battery level and anything else i can think of. for instance, it can just instantly hang+auto-reboot while i'm browsing facebook, surfing on chrome, switching tracks on poweramp, or even when the screen is off doing nothing (deep sleep)!
I've tried to uninstall some of the recent installed apps, but still unable to find any culprit. is there any way i can identify the culprit, without resorting to factory-reset for my device? i spent a lot of time doing the configuration for each app that i use, and wouldn't want to repeat the whole process..
Thanks in advance for your help!
could anyone help please?
Only way to know would be to get a logcat or last_kmesg. You might try something like this since it is so random:

i downloaded aLogRec as requested and recorded the log for the entire day.
this is the log for the first 16hours - i opened it with notepad++ and the log was super short - is it normal?
Link 1
this is the log for the next few hours, where the random reboot occurred halfway - seems that it's empty. does that mean there's no way for me to know how the reboot came about?

Yea, that app definitely didn't work. Not really sure why. But other than catching it in the act using the logcat, whether it is another automatic one or just the manual way via the phone or computer, there's no other way to tell. You do know that you can backup most of your apps and settings with a variety of tools? It won't make everything perfect, but cuts the time of restoring your phone after a factory reset way down. I literally wipe my entire phone and reset it up like 3 times a week on average. It usually takes me about 20 minutes to an hour depending on if I just need it usable or exactly the way I like it.

thanks for the reply. got a few questions:
1. other than aLogCat, any other app i can try to catch the random reboot in the act?
2. yes, i could backup all my apps+settings using TB, but would i also be restoring the 'random reboot' in this case as well?
3. another symptom just occurred and i'm not sure whether it's relevant to the random reboot. after the random reboot (or so it seems), all my saved WIFI passwords get forgotten, and i need to re-enter the passwords for it to auto-login to my home/office network. i also realize it loses one of the settings i previously adjusted in Developer Options - the transition animation scale was set to 0x last time and set back to 1x.. but when it random reboots nowadays, it will just default back to 0x (which isn't the correct default).
i'm so frustrated at the number of problems my phone is facing right now..

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=scd.lcex - looks pretty solid and more updated than the other one.
Possibly, but since we don't know what caused it, no way to know. What you do is backup everything, reset, then test, then start to add apps back in and test. Sucks, but just one of those things. Software issues can be tricky because there are so many different factors in play.
But it seems like this might be an issue with certain Samsung phones with batteries that are not performing as they should:

alright, will try the Extreme version and hopefully it catches the culprit.
As for the battery problem, it doesn't seem like the same case as mentioned in the other thread - he had a reboot loop and crazy drain, both of which are not existent (luckily) symptoms on my end.
Your issues could definitely be explained by battery issues though. Have seen stuff like this before at my shop. Batteries are less than $10 typically and worst case, you have a spare battery so if you go out and about and the phone dies, you don't have to run to a charger / outlet.

I was experiencing random reboots on the stock ROM for my KFHD when I was running stock. Turns out it was caused by me adjusting the DPI to a custom value.

that could be one possible cause as I have certain preset dpi's for apps using Xposed.
any other possibilities and any other way to avoid it?

The only thing I can suggest is resting the DPI to stock, unfortunetly. Or a DPI that is known to work well with your device.

First of all. Thanks for all the efforts for getting root and gapps working. I have been able to do it and was pretty happy for awhile until one day, my Kindle became unresponsive, touch delayed, sometimes not working at all. I have to lock-unlock to get it working normal again, then, it starts to slow down again and delay touches. I was wondering if this is at all related to rooting? I wanted to see who else gets this.

Unlikely consequence of rooting unless you installed something that burrowed deep into you system. First steps are a virus scan (unlikely to find anything but easy to do and may provide additional clues) followed by a cleaner app / task manager to look for crud and autostarts. Might want to disable gapps (especially play services) to rule out a conflict. After that a some type of reset/restore but how that is best accomplished depends on what firmware you are on.
I assume you have a root manager such as SuperSU installed. Might want to check logs to see what you have recently permitted. Rooting doesn't cause the systoms you describe but does give you the ability screw yourself.
Hello, guys,
I have had Redmi Note 3 for 6 months now and I have been struggling with an annoying issue.
Whatsapp gets killed after a little time of idleness and unless I kill it in the task manager and restart it, I cannot either receive or send messages. When I check in the running apps section, it is not there so the OS certainly kills it. And just clicking its icon on the desktop, opens the GUI but it does not work unless I force close it and re-open it.
I have had issues with Whatsapp on previous devices - more of the common stuff - delayed notifications, messy push service. This is something else.
MIUI 8 is notorious, it seems, for its RAM and Battery management killing apps and I often struggle with that, too. For example: I minimize VLC to open Firefox. I switch back to VLC - ok, the movie starts over, the app has been killed. This is really annoying and I have turned off all kinds of optimization to prevent it, with no success. I am not sure, though, that it is connected to the Whatsapp issue. Because Whatsapp seems to get killed when the phone is idle for a moment but not when switching between apps.
I rarely use Viber but I think the situation there is the same. I sent a message to a friend and I got no response. I opened the app 5 days later and the response came However, it had tried to arrive 2 minutes after my original message. But I had not opened Viber for 5 days, so...that happened.
Let me know if you need details about my settings. I would be really grateful if someone can share some insight on what might the issue be. I guess if I root the phone I can try and locate the culprit module that kills apps. Maybe edit a config file to disable the killing functionality. It is clear this ROM does not like running apps....
Thanks,
Kiril Ekblad
P.S. I have been on Google multiple times: nobody seems to have that issue.
Disable battery saver
developer options -> disalbe MIUI optimization
MIUI is way to aggressive in killing apps ....
maybe go for a custom rom?
You can follow this https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...de-redmi-note-3-sd-mtk-multi-tasking-t3358433 and see how it`s going with push up notification.
When i`ve used miui 8, i`ve done this things and it seems to work good, but anyway push up notification came with a small delay..
For this reason i left miui 8 (very bad ram management) and flashed nougat custom rom and everything working good
Thank you, all
I have actually tried all of these and all steps in the quoted topic. No difference whatsoever. I would gladly go for a custom ROM bit things have gotten really complicated lately. A coupke of yeara aho I would easily grab and flash a custom ROM. Now when I browse through the ROMs topics here I get frustrates.
Something about firmwares, stuck bootloaders I have no idea where to start.
Oh and I don't want to lose slow motoon and time lapse videos. Do you know of a custom ROM that supports them ans the stock one does?

Try clean flash of MIUI ROM or flash Epic / Xiaomi.eu ROM
Thanks, I will have to research on the EPIC/EU ROM.
I am all for changing the ROM as long as I can cope with the flashing and I do not lose any of the significant features of the stock ROM.
By the way, recently - the last several days - I have noticed that on multiple occasions Whatsapp seems to be running - it is showing in the Running apps and still the program cannot either receive or send until I force close it and re-start. Whatsapp web also says Phone not connected.
