Hello,
I have an MTK6589 phone GFive G9 phone with 4.2.1 Android version firmware custom added on the phone (not part of the settings coming with the phone). More information about the version is in the attached screenshot.
Generally, the phone is working fine but I have been experiencing issues with random restarts when using the phone. This happens approximately once a day, the phone freezes for around 10s and then restarts and continues working normally. I believe that this is relate do some of the apps I have installed on the phone, but I am uncertain which ones or if this assumption is correct.
I would like to get to the root of the problem, could you help me determine what is causing this issue?
Is there any log files that could help me with this or is the only way to go and start uninstalling random apps until I discover which is causing issues?
Is there any way to determine that the issue is not in the ROM itself?
Thank you,
Now this is the weirdest thing I've ever encountered! I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 tablet (n5110) which runs TWRP recovery and Resurrection-Remix-5.7.4 (CM13 based). Everything used to work beautifully until the end of July when an app called “EPB DVR Manager” (in the Play store) received an update. My tablet had to do a whole bunch of updates, so I gave it the “go” and Play Store started doing its thing, updating one app after the other.
At some point the tablet froze. Dead. Even the clock in the status bar stopped. I had to reset the device by pressing and holding power until it rebooted. The next thing was ... boot loop. It seemed to finish the boot animation and at the point when the main screen is supposed to show up it rebooted!
Tried to wipe dalvik & cache. No go, still boot loop. Had to format data to get the device back to life. From there it took me quite some hours of repeated tries of restoring 100+ apps and crashing the device all over until I figured out that it was this specific app - the “EPB DVR Manager”. After figuring out that this app causes the problem, I did two more attempts to confirm what is going on:
First, I did a wipe of dalvik, cache & data, reboot, android setup wizard (setup Google account). Then, as the first action at all, I tried to install the “EPB DVR Manager”. Boom - device messed up again.
Second, I reverted back to stock firmware (kitkat) and installed the “EPB DVR Manager” - no problem at all. So it has something to do with the Resurrection-Remix ROM, but here's the thing:
I have 3 different devices (a Moto G 3rd Gen, a LG GPAD 7.0 and that Samsung Note 8.0) and all three of them run Resurrection-Remix 5.7.4 and the Samsung is the only device which all in a sudden has these catastrophic problems with the latest version of this app (earlier versions installed/updated fine).
Now I understand that my devices run different kernels with different hardware drivers despite all of them running RR-5.7.4.
I would really like to get a clue about what the heck is going on here. Now before y'all are telling me that RR-5.7.4 is dead because it is based on CM13 - I know that. Still, RR-5.7.4 is a way better daily driver than the newer Nougat builds. So how should I try to get “live logs” because the problem always ends in a crashed installation and Android needs a full wipe to recover. I would like to find out what is going on to be able to let the app developer know about the problem (if the app's apk is at least partially to blame).
Even if it turns out that it is RR's fault (and therefore the bug will not be fixed because RR-5.7.4 is dead) I would still want to learn how such a simple transaction like installing an app can cause such a dramatic (and 100% reproducible) crash of Android's data partition.
Thanks for any suggestions on how to catch logging information for this kind of mystery.

Situation: update to Pie 9.0, I didn't like it so downgrade to 8.1 with hisuite.
UI start to lag, pull down notification, page transitions, popup menu.
So wipe data and nothing, flash 9.0 again and back, nothing, still there are little lags.
How is possible?
It seems like cpu stuck somewhere
I'm experiencing problems with apps and UI freezing when I install magisk on Android 10.
There is no problem whatsoever if I don't install Magisk.
Everything works for a minute after boot, but if I open something after that, it just freezes.
I've had this problem with ArrowOS, so I changed to crDroid. The 8/10 build of it was working perfectly but updating to 21/10 has a problem.
I've attached the log where I try opening Whatsapp but it gets stuck on the splash screen. The log says "notResponding = true".
Recently I updated my Realme 7 pro to android 11(through official ota). After update my phone booted and it couldn't go beyond lock screen. Lock screen blinks for a millisecond and and again this process is repeating, no key is working.
Even after reboot and deleting app data through recovery seems to be helpful.
Then I formatted my my phone, all my data lost, but finally phone started. I have to reinstall all apps and all the stuff,
Then I debloated my phone using adb,
After that I restarted my phone again same problem arrives, again I had to format my phone and again reinstall all the stuff.
If anybody found the solution please share this.
My observation with android 11
1. Seems like battery life is poor as compared to android 10.
2. Mx player keeps crashing again & again after starting.
3. No visible improvement in camera quality.
4. Still unwanted bloatware from realme and can't do anything with that.
5. App opening speed and scrolling is smooth as compared to android 10.
As now I don't find any useful thing in android 11,
So it is advised that please wait for more stable update.
That sounds not good! I am still waiting for the update. But now I am not sure if it is a good idea .....
Do you have the Global or EU version? Where do you live? I'm from Europe either the Global Version. I try to get the OTA update with a Indian VPN server.

Same thing happened to me! I had to reset and lost valuable data
Now I can't debloat, because the same thing happens - lock screen keeps blinking, no way to do anything.
If someone has a safe to uninstall list on Android 11, please share
I have updated my Realme 7 Pro (Europe) just a few days ago. Reading all this complains made me sceptical installing the new update but believe me guys that i am glad and very happy with this new android 11 update. No issues on booting, no heating problems, very smooth UI, great battery life ( 8-10 hours of SOT, with 20-25 % screen light). I read on telegram that booting issues appear on Realme 7 Pro when users debloat the initial apps via ADB (weather app) and then make the android 11 update.
