Ok. Problems I have encountered the 2 days I have used the phone:
Constant freeze. The first hour I used the phone it froze and rebooted 7 or 8 times.
Missing SocialLocation.apk. This caused a problem for the GPS in smart actions to work at all. Rooted phone and installed the app, and problem disappeared.
Tried to hard reset the phone because of all the rebooting problems. Guess what, on the first menu coming up where you can choose language, the phone froze and rebooted again. Now still it is constantly freezing and rebooting.
The freezing issues does not really have one specific app causing it. It can happen whenever doing whatever!
Anyone got a solution for this? Maybe a OTA update for Norwegian model?
Well, as my dad's phone is still fine as of now with not a single reboot in 2 days, I'd suggest you get in contact with your carrier and ask for a replacement. This seems to be a phone defect and you should be able to get your replacement easily. Be sure to not mention rooting and installing SocialLocation.apk though!!
You rooted and removed some files from the System, did you not?
Hi everyone,
I've been lurking for the past year or so, but now I got a problem of my own and I hope I can solve it with your help.
For a while now, almost every time, I picked up the phone, tried to check mail, or do something, and it wouldn't do anything. It seemed like it was turned off, except I couldn't turn it on by pressing the power key. It wouldn't react to touching the screen, menu button, plugging in headphones, the USB cable, pressing hardware buttons, sending myself a mail/sms, or calling myself, the alarm didn't go off (especially troublesome), it was, for all intents and purposes, completely frozen, until I removed and reinserted the battery. Then, I could normally turn it on and it seemed like everything was in order and a new message or email (in the account that triggers a notification) was waiting for me.
This started after I upgraded to ICS (official). I also rooted the phone with CF-Root. Everything was working fine, except for these freezes.
Last week, I had enough and I did a factory reset. After that, it seemed to be ok, until 2 days ago, when I flashed it with ICS 4.0.4 and rooted it again. It was fine for 2 days, today it started freezing again. I did not install any new apps - all the apps were (re)installed immediately after the flashing.
I *did* have some problems with the camera (I couldn't see what I was shooting, I found out that it's probably a wrong version of CF-root, so I reflashed that, problem persisted, I reflashed just the kernel of official 4.0.4 and the problem disappeared. This is all I did before I noticed the problem again.
I would think that it might be because of the SD card, some app or something else, but to the best of my observing, it ONLY happens, when a notification should be triggered - instead, the phone freezes.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Ben
i think your RAM is on its maximum level, try cleaning your RAM once in a while.. go to your Task Manager (if you're on a stock firmware)
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!
Wazzup.
Over at the Pixel 6 Pro fair, we have quite the number of people having problems with random reboots. We are trying to narrow it in - Android12? Pixel 6? Software? Hardware?
So - anyone here with the same set of problems? Or does the Pixel 6 not have that kind of issue?
For reference: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/random-reboots.4353231/
I have gotten several random reboots as well. 256gb seafoam pixel 6. In particular, I was using "Frep" automation app (unrooted, used pc to start server) to do repetitive image searches in a game. Also the phone was sitting on a wireless charger while doing this. I noticed my phone felt pretty warm, wonder if it could be overheating?
Could be a naughty 3rd party app. Have you tried safe mode?
I posted this here:
P6 Bluetooth Problems
My p6 will see most some of my Bluetooth devices (laptop, tablet, TV, earbuds) . It pairs with the earbuds, but everything else it will try and pair, usually does not. If and when hen it does pair, that pairing is dropped dropped within 5 secs...
forum.xda-developers.com
My random reboots (or crashes that forced me to reboot) almost entirely stem from the wifi+bluetooth implementation. I found a sure-fire way to crash it during setup. Without word vomiting here, connecting the P6 with and to other devices has proved more difficult than any previous Pixel (for me).

Not yet. It's also hard to "force" it (the reboots, I am not able to replicate it manually). Yesterday it just randomly happened whilst the phone laid idle next to me, thrice at the morning, about one time through late afternoon, then one time evening. I just notice the screen lighting up, then the Google logo comes, meaning the phone restarted.
I'm also pretty sure that Bluetooth/Wifi settings differed when the reboots happened, ergo at some times bluetooth was on, then when it rebooted, bluetooth was off. At no time when the reboots happened had I a bluetooth device connected. WiFi was online though, all the time.
What all the reboots have in commong though (at least the ones where I am concerned), is that the phone is just laying next to me, or somewhere, being in idle - doing as far as I know, nothing. It never happened when I used the phone or put it under load, so my P6 never "crapped" out under me. That's why I am not that concerned about this as of now, but it's certainly a nuisance to unlock the phone every time with my darn pin.
(Concerning 3rd party app) - I'd say that's unlikely. I copied my files over from my Pixel 4 XL and have not yet added one singular other app to my P6 Pro, so it should have gone naughty before my transfer over.
Hi! I experienced a big crash on the pixel 6. When I was configuring telegram, the app crashed and then the screen got black. After a minute it rebooted to the Google logo with a loading bar underneath. It was blocked in that state, but I could reboot it with volume up + power button.
I was pretty scared as the usual button down + power button didn't do anything lol
12 (SD1A.210817.036) on my pixel 6, occurred randomly when opening camera app. Happend 7-10 times.

Odd. I never had a problem whilst using the phone, my phone only rebooted when laying idle (even though today I had no reboots at all, alas I didn't use the phone much, maybe 2h SoT without any heavy lifting).
Something in android 12 is bugging around, maybe we have to open support tickets.

I just talked for a while with a Google rep and he said that they are not aware of any reboot problems, no people over at Google Forums have reported such a thing. "We do not monitor Reddit or XDA" - so he said he opened a support ticket to the responsible team and they would look into it, he also asked that I / we report/feedback this under -> Settings -> Tips & Support -> Feedback.
We also talked about a lens flare problem, that at least the Pixel 6 Pro has. If you shot some photos where the sun is directly shining into the camera, you might want to re-check them. Most of mine have either some sort of big circular green dot in them, or a big beam of light like in a phone with a very bad HDR processing. It seems to be some sort of software glitch, he also reported that.
So hopefully those things can get fixed.
This was the follow-up email:
Thank you for contacting Google support.
This email is regarding the chat conversation we had earlier today, I'm sorry we weren't able to complete it. Hence I wanted to follow up via email to ensure all your queries have been answered.
Please re-launch the camera app and check if the issue is fixed.
Please be assured our developer team is working on this to fix it as soon as possible. We would really appreciate your kind understanding as we work on this to fix it for you.
If there is anything apart from this that needs clarification, please feel free to reply back to this email. I'll be more than happy to assist you.
Thanks!

I'm having similar restarts while phone is sitting on a table doing nothing. Tried a factory reset and was fine until overnight on charge and it happened again.
Also have had a few times where wifi has stopped working for some reason. Not sure if related.
Not had any reboots but quiet a few app crashes in especially FB will be scrolling away and bang just closes also Amazon app ,
Well that was interesting.. When it rebooted that time, it gave me an error screen saying it could not load and may be corrupt. I had two options, try again and factory reset. Try again got me back running, but I'm wondering do I got as defective device now.. or if it's software related.
So after a lot of messing around, I think I have narrowed down what may be causing my reboots. It only seems to happen when I am using "Frep" to play macros on a game while charging my phone.. the phone gets pretty hot, and reboots when I tap the screen or try to swipe home or recent apps. Maybe its overheating, or maybe its "Frep" playing naughty.. but Frep did work perfectly fine on my old $200 used Nord N10 5g. Will update if it reboots while not doing this.
no reboots or crashes so far, not doing any gaming - but using phone for email, surfing, whatsapp etc and also a work profile for MS outlook and teams.
I have/had similar issues with my Pixel 6 (128GB - europe unlocked).
I was transferring old data via cable from my old (Xiaomi Mi A1) to the Pixel 6. This resulted in sluggish performance, crashes every 15 minutes. The crashes would randomly occur and behave mostly like this:
Try to unlock phone with fingerprint sensor
Fingerprint sensor lights up, nothing happens, no haptic response
Swiping up to the PIN entry. Enter PIN and hit enter. Nothing happens. Now freeze.
Screen turns black and it takes phone to reboot on average ~7minutes
Factory Reset; Installed apps manually (standard messaging apps, no games etc), better performance, problem persists
Factory reset; boot into safemode. It now took way longer to provoke the issue. But it still happened.
After this I contacted the customer service and they will provide me with a replacement. But now after a night of idle, the phone was working for 3-4 hours without any issue at all with most of my apps installed. It just now went into a random reboot (could only notice because it asked for PIN because of the reboot). But not the 8 minute blank black screen type of reboot.
I am really unsure what is the issue at hand here. But have to say that experience is less than ideal.
Mine just happened last night, not charging or running anything 3rd party apps (all from App Store). I tried to use the camera after eating dinner and noticed that double clicking power button doesn't open the camera anymore. After unlocking the phone it appears that the phone has restarted.
Is anyone running Private DNS on their system like Adguard DNS or NextDNS? I did some searching and people reported some private DNS were causing Android to crash. It was suppose to be fixed in previous Android versions but it could be back again.
I haven't noticed any random reboots (and the lock screen will require a pin to be entered after reboot and says this on the screen, so you should know the phone rebooted). I've had the P6 since the official release date. In fact, I haven't restarted the phone in days.
I run a wide variety of apps. Some from the Play store and some sideloaded. I think that any reboot issues are probably app related. Remember that A12 is very new and the are surely still some compatibility issues that app developers haven't found/fixed yet.
My phone started to randomly crash after installing the first update of Android 13. First it was once every 2 weeks, then 1 week and then it was daily. I tried to flash Android 12 and Android 11 to no avail. I formatted it, emptied caches and the error persisted. I left it and last week I tried to update it and root it. Surprisingly it stayed on for longer and I discovered:
- It doesn't crash as long as I stay with the Internet off.
- I can connect to the network via Bluetooth.
- If I turn the WiFi on whole connected to the network via Bluetooth it doesn't crash, it will once I disconnect the Bluetooth connection.
I have attached the last_kmsg file
This happened to my mother too, seems one of the recent updates has busted wifi. We tried to factory reset and now the phone boot loops.
Also, they updated the security version with this update, so cant even downgrade.
Really looks like samsung have screwed this update up.
I have manager to get a stable experience by flashing the latest lineage os GSI. It is a bit sketchy if you want to have all the functionalities (wide angle lens, fingerprint sensor etc) but it still works as a daily driver
Ill give that a go, currently trying the UK Vodafone Firmware to see if that works, otherwise I might try what youve done.
I don't tend to buy samsungs, this is my mothers phone, but for me this is a huge red flag not to. Not only did the update break the phone, but they also increased the security bit so you cannot downgrade
