So you got a replacement phone, and it's doing the same thing? If so , maybe its an app you are downloading. I never heard of this problem, and it's odd that it would happen to you 2 times in a row, if that's the case

Couldn't have said it better. I also haven't had any problems with my phone (yet). By the way, my aunt just got a Note 5 and has had countless problems with it (even more than what people have reported here). First, her phone would lock up completely randomly. Then, she got a replacement and had issues with the speakers on her phone. The problems just kept coming. She now has switched to this phone and is way happier with it.

That is not encouraging, considering these two phones are essentially exactly the same device lol.
Thanks for the suggestion on it being on of my apps......I Uninstalled "easy unrar, unzip & zip" problem seems to have gone away.....it was either that or dropbox I Uninstalled both at the same time and haven't had the problem, gonna give it another day or 2 without a reboot and attribute it to that app....
Back to the drawing board the issue just happened to come back right after that post. ......I guess I'll deal with the occasional restart and hopefully when we finally get 6.0 the problem won't come back
Having the exact same issue with my new Verizon Galaxy S6 Edge+ (received phone Dec 29) . And as the OP states, a restart temporarily fixes the issue. In addition, this is for sure a software related problem because I can rotate the phone on it's side but still will be unable to select the menu in top left corner. Rotate back vertical, not able to select menu in top left corner but can select the menu in top right corner (if there is one for the app). Sometimes I have been able to close the app, reopen and the problem is temporarily fixed.
I'm surprised this issue hasn't happened to too many other people......especially since it happened in both phones Verizon has given me, I would assume it's a wide range issue for a lot of users
Wow that's strange nothing wrong with mine except this crappy battery life. A 3700mah battery like the droid turbo 2 should be in order
Having the same issue here for a few weeks now. A reboot fixes it temporarily. I have been trying to pinpoint an app but no luck yet. It seems random.

Hi, I've had my SGS2 for around 3 weeks now, and in that period I have had 2 random shut downs.
The first time it happened I was using the original firmware out of the box. The second time it happened (yesterday) I was using the latest firmware via Kies.
The phone is unlocked and unbranded from buymobilephones.net (UK), and I'm on the T-Mobile UK network.
The phone is NOT rooted and I am not overclocking.
Is my phone faulty or is this a software problem? Baring in mind this has only happened twice in the past 3 weeks.
backup data and factory reset would be my first step.
Followed by a return to the store .

I've owned several phones over the past 15 years and I've never had such problems before, even with my previous Android the Orange San Francisco. Seriously, if I have a £500 phone I don't expect it to shut down randomly even it it's only twice in 3 weeks. I've missed some important calls and texts because my phone has shut down without me knowing.

I think you mean two weeks ago.....
If it continues, you may have a faulty one.
Well I have the same issue, it's in my pocket, next thing when I push the power button the screen just stays black.
Have to hold down the power button to drop it and then restart it.
Sooo, I had this happen once when it was on the table which took the phone in my pocket out the mix.
In the end I tried the battery fix with some geckostrip (that rubber easy removable strip you use on the back of phones to stop them sliding)
I put the strip on the underside (opposite of the connections) and wrapped it around the back (facing the cover).
This makes for a VERY tight snug fit in the unit.
It has now been 2 weeks without one single shutdown...so as much as I thought "this must be software or hardware related", it looks like it very well may be "hardware related" on the battery front.
For those who still have this issue try what I did and let us know your findings.
Cheers
Sheldon
Update: Okay never mind on the battery thing, phone lasted 2 weeks but just blacked out again.....
I had the same problem for many months but it stopped after I uninstallrd dolphin hd browser. No idea if coincidence or not but read a few others with sgs2 and dolphin installed had same problem. Do you by chance have it installed?

I've actually experienced problems similar to this twice now with my SII.
First time was straight out of the box. I charged it up and then took it travelling with me. I kept taking it out of my pocket to find out it had turned off. I thought it was my fault with the power button being in a bit of a silly place. But then it turned off whilst it was lying on my desk or in my hand whilst I was using it. Whenever it turned back on again the battery usage history showed a big sudden drop (10+%) in battery level and then it would increase slowly for a while after. Spoke to O2-UK and they got me to do a software reset and then a hardware reset when it reoccurred, which didn't fix the problem either. They then did a next day replacement.
After I got the most recent update to TW I started to experience times when I'd come to unlock my phone but the screen would stay black. It would, however, give haptic feedback when I pressed the power button but not respond to touch. I recently did a software reset of my phone due to another problem (it kept thinking it was docking this time - but stopped on the day I took it into the O2 Shop) and haven't experienced this since.
For so expensive device I expect only 2 "legal" reasons to shut down while running stock ROM with no additional software or changed hardware (i.e. battery):
1. Battery went completly empty (or as empty as power saving settings allow)
2. I forced it to shut down via power button
If it shuts down on its own under this conditions, first doubt is faulty hardware.
And then it should be quickly replaced by provider/shop/wherever it came from.
Everything else might raise doubt in faulty piece of additional software.
Have had similar issues. Uninstalled the go weather app / widget and nothing since. Might just be a coincidence though.

So I've read about this "sleep of death" that sounds like the same thing as what this is.
It appears to affect a wide margin of Samsung devices over time.
One post suggested it was because WIFI activates while the screen is off and the device is in sleep mode, thus blaming the like of apps such as Juice Defender and WIFI managment built into gingerbread.
I have uninstalled gingerbread, enabled watchdog to monitor utilization (out of curiosity) and set the WIFI sleep mode to NEVER.
One day down without a issue, I'll see what happens over the next few weeks.

I heard that frequent shutdown/reboots happens with 2.3.6 release.
If you got it, better go back to 2.3.5 or earlier. Iit worked for me.
I have 2.3.4 and i get these problems once a month or so.
Wy OH has the same firmware but she gets a random shutdown once a week. We both have the 1900 Anker battery (not stock one) - weird. I am going to try a different ROm and see if it makes a difference.
same issue but after i have deleted à few apps the issue was gone...?

guys im having the same issue too. its happened like 2 times in a month now. it previously happened when i was on 2.3.3 and stock ROM.
today it just happenned again even after being on superatmos 2.1, on 2.3.6.
whats going on?
Just trying to build some statistics as to how common this turning off problem is.
--------------------
PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE ANSWERING:
1) Obviously this is regarding the phone turning off on its own when its not due an empty battery.
2) Only answer with "no" if you've been using the phone for at least a week. If you've been using it for less and it hasnt turned off, answer with "No - but had it for less than a week".
--------------------
I just want to know before I send my phone to Amazon for replacement.
I've had it 8 days, so I clicked the 2nd "no". If I saw any hardware fault in a new device I'd immediately get onto the supplier for a replacement. Unless there's software at fault here (unlikely, but obviously possible) then I can't see the problem simply going away.
Hope you get it sorted mate.
Nope. Had the phone since may 6.

Everyone runs different apps and settings on their phones. Unless there's a specific hardware problem there's going be tons of variables to consider for those having reboot issues. I've had mine for six weeks and its never done anything wonky.
I returned my 1st one as it turned off a few times a day. Replacement has been fine.

Does reboot count as a yes?
I clicked yes but I am not 100% sure if this happened to me or not. Allow me to explain...
I was carrying it in my hand walking and I happened to look at the screen and it was showing the Samsung GT-i9100 splash screen seemingly for no apparent reason. When it went away it just went right back to where it was (no media card reading or anything).
It was strange to say the least but I have not seen it happen again since then and that was about a week ago and I have had the device for approx. 3 weeks now.
Does this sound like the same issue?

Oh sorry i forgot to mention this. No, reboots don't count as they're probably a software problem which can be fixed maybe with a new ROM or update or wtvr (i'm probably going to install another ROM eventually). And i'm not sure how a replacement will help with that, since I already have the KE7 firmware installed.
Just complete turn offs, cuz it might be a hardware problem, which can be solved by a replacement.
Thanks for the responses guys. Keep it up
Hmm, well i'm not really sure of anything, but that looks like a reboot to me. It might be that it turned off and you accidentally held the power button and turned it on, but since there was no card reading or anything, i think it's the "fast reboot" problem i've seen some people with on the forums. I hope it doesn't happen again
Anybody's evo lte reboot? my does it constantly now. This is the second day I've owned it. The first day it rebooted once randomly and I discounted it as a glitch. Now I can't even use the thing, it's "almost" stuck in a reboot loop.... going to sprint tomorrow but I thought I'd ask.
Mine did so I exchanged it.

Thanks a ton. Did it today and so far this one is working great. The guy at sprint couldn't believe it for some reason, and apparently there isn't much stuff on the sprint forums about it. I told him that I found a bunch of stuff at XDA. Anyways it rebooted 4 times while I was there right in front of him. Sounds like they almost never do exchanges.. at least at this store. Anyways, thanks for the help.
That's good to hear. Mine didn't reboot in front of the tech but at least I had the crash report from when it rebooted while I was waiting.

Mine was doing that all the time.. Over the weekend I did a factory reset (Power Button / Up Vol) and then updated the PRL. That seemed to help for about a day and half. But the problem resurfaced. I had only added some of my apps back and setup my blue tooth headset. I was at first thinking it was my blue tooth caused the issue. Yesterday while I was at work it rebooted at lest 12 different times.. Even when I wasn't even touching it.
So I called support first and they opened up a case for me. I dropped by Sprint after work and they took it back and did their checking of the phone.. Here's what I found out.
1. My phone was apparently a revision behind. Can't say for sure if that is true because I didn't note down what I had before i brought it in. So I'll take their word for it. Obviously they factory reset the phone again.
2. The rep I worked with informed me that there is some glitchy apps out there. One that he mentioned that kind of stood out was Go SMS Pro.
Well to continue on here. The phone didn't reboot again after they did their thing. But today I had reloaded and then setup GO SMS Pro again and all of a sudden my reboot problem resurfaced. So I removed Go SMS Pro completely off the phone and I haven't had a reboot since. That was over 12 hours ago. I'll keep an eye on it and also notify the developer just in case. But if you like to use Go SMS like I do that might be part of your problem.
My suggestion make sure you have the latest software revision and then keep an eye on your apps and see if one of them might be causing "System Crash" on your phone.
Hope this helps!!!
I have had about 2 random reboots since May 30th.

I'm hoping you guys can help. Been a long time lurker here and am going to be buying my Note 2 at the end of the month. But my wife purchased one the day after Christmas, and since the new ota update in January, her N2 has been freezing a lot. Sometimes you can get it to turn back on, but than it freezes and reboots on its own. Most of the time she has to do a battery pull to get it to come back on. It happens about 5 times a day.
Verizon had her factory reset it, but it still has the persistent problem. Best Buy took a look at it and they couldn't figure it out. She is hoping we can figure it out before we have to send it back in, which would suck because she would be without a phone that she needs for work for a week. Not to mention Best Buy and Verizon stated that if it does need to be replaced, that it would be with a refurbished one. Which I am not at all too happy about that. Hoping you guys can help me out.

I tried to get her to root, but this is her first android device, she's had nothing but the Iphones prior and is nervous about doing stuff like that. It started after the last ota update, and the only recent app she downloaded was Unblock Me. Since then all this has been happening, and we already uninstalled Unblock Me suspecting that was the culprit. I have it on my phone with no problems.
yes, she does have power saving mode on

Yeah I'm thinking it's power saving mode turn it off see if she can make it through a day without it freezing. You don't need power saving on a note 2 battery life is great without it unless your wife is like most females and always forgets to charge her phones

Here's the list of apps she has downloaded. She hasn't downloaded anything recently except for that Unblock Me and the ota update. She said since yesterday Verizon had her factory reset the phone. She reinstalled all her apps, and it still kept freezing. When in froze this afternoon and it shut down(didn't reboot), she took it strait to Best Buy to have them look at it.
The guy fiddled with it, and it was freezing and rebooting on him as he was messing with settings. He told her it probably needed to be sent in. She doesn't want a refurbished phone if they replace this one, so we are trying to figure it out. But since that visit, the phone has not froze on her. Weird.
Should we uninstall all the apps and install one by one each day to see which may be causing it?
Did you turn power saving off and it still freezing?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
when I checked it, it was already off. I know she had it on, but don't know if the BB guy turned it off or if it was turned off by the factory reset.
If it's still freezing with power save off then I would factory reset it then install the apps that she must have for day to day use. Then give it a day and install the other apps she wants.

I totally agree. :good:
Phones normally only freeze when the ram runs out. Is there any app misbehaving and sucking up all the ram?
I had some what i thought were random reboots the first few months with my N2. These I discovered were caused by carry the N2 in my back pocket of my jeans! Every time I bent down to pick something up or to tie my laces it would reboot!! I would just hear the start up noise comming from my pocket. Make sure she doesn't put it in her skinny-jeans back pocket.
Thanks for the suggestions guys! It froze again this morning, so we are going to factory reset and install apps one by one each day to see who the culprit is. Hopefully its an app doing this.
I have been experiencing EXACTLY that and hqve tried most of the remedies. However this only seems to happen at work which makes it somewhat difficult to actuwlly sot down and diagnose the problem.

I have been reading about this issue from a lot of people with the s3 & note 2 on forums. I honestly think Samsung/Verizon sent out a bad OTA due to rushing to close the security loopholes. I refused the ota and found a way to permanently defer the update and have not experienced any reboots or freezing.
From my previous/recent experience Verizon will absolutely not help you at all, they are worthless 99% of the time. All they are able to do is tell you to factory reset it(if they know how) and have no actual clue how to fix the devices. They will even 'call' the software support for you but will still tell you to either factory reset or do a return. I am disgruntled after they destroyed 3 phones (Droid Incredible) in my family after pushing out horribly bugged OTAs that left the devices useless. I confronted them and they flat out refused to take ownership of their own software that they pushed out. I still feel like they should be sued over what happened.
Good Luck!

Yeah leave it to VZW to fix one thing and introduce a worst bug. I had a Motorola bionic that kept losing signal every 20 minutes or so then version sent out an update damn phone would drop signal every 30 seconds or not even connect to data. Basically rendering the phone useless. Worst part was Motorola had the bootloader locked down so tight there was no good development. At least we have good development for our note 2

Users should legitimately have a lawsuit case against Verizon. They are essentially forcing you to purchase a new device because of something they did. When I confronted them they straight up told me to buy a new device. Devices should work indefinitely theoretically and they are causing irreparable damage.
My note 2 was having major battery drain issues so I got my self back to pure stock like day 1 and I went ahead and updated with the ota so I will see if the random freezing / reboots pick up or not. I already noticed a keyboard bug where it pulls up a numerical only keyboard and wont allow me to type letters unless I reboot.
Did anyone solve this? I'm in the UK and very recently got my ota update. Since then I've been getting multiple daily resets and freezes. Can't say whether it's due to the ota update or some software I've been using, but the crashes are certainly pretty new and very annoying.

Same issue with mine on vodafone in Uk. I havent loaded any apps since ota update and keeps freezing. Had service centre reflash two days ago and it is still freezing etc.
Convinced now its the update.
Anyone know how to reflash to 4.1.1
Got the Sprint Note 3 on launch day. Great phone. However, last night, I kept getting a message that said "Samsung WatchOn Has Stopped". I didn't remember turning it on, and I got this message several times. I have also had trouble getting stuff to download from the play store, but last night it finally started downloading fine. I am staying at a hotel(traveling for work), so their WiFi could be the issue there. I kept getting error 500. And I could always try removing and re adding my Google account. Last, but not least, my power button is ever so slightly crooked(power, not home). The side towards the bottom of the phone sits slightly lower than the side towards the top. Anyway, this is my first Samsung, I've always had HTC, so maybe the phone it's just built this way. Sorry to sound retentive, but the phone wasn't cheap, and I usually keep my phone's for 2+ years, do if there are any issues that warrant a return, I want to return it while I can still get a NEW replacement. Has anyone else experienced any of this? It's any of this a big deal? Is there something I'm doing wrong? Or am I being a worry way for no reason?
I too just left HTC for this phone. Taking some getting use to. If you feel that uncomfortable I would take it back...

Well I have another week to return it. I will feel it out some more, just to be sure these aren't user errors. As for the button, I dunno what to think, but it is barely noticeable, and doesn't impact functionality at all. So, maybe I am making too much of it. Just wanted to see if anyone else has experienced these issues. I may or may not take it back to exchange it for a new one, time will tell. I had to exchange my first EVO 3D after two weeks due to constant force closes, but the second one worked like a charm for the next 2+ years.
If you have any questions about the reliability of your Device return it ASAP. You only have 14 days to exchange from ORIGINAL purchase date and it might take a few days to figure out if your replacement is also a lemon but by then 14 will have passed and you'll be relying on the carrier to fix.

Funny you mentioned the EVO 3D, I was just thinking, had that phone came with LTE instead of Wimax I would still be using it...I loved that one more than any of the many others I have had...
The top of the phone is slightly thicker on the back due to the camera, but if you mean with the screen laying flat that could be an actual issue. As far as the play store, I know there was some issue with it a couple days ago but try clearing the cache for the play store app and if all else fails a factory reset to see if the problem persists. I came from the HTC One and I'm loving this phone, but definitely take it back if there are recurring issues.

I mean it it's uneven when looming at the BACK of the phone. When looking at the side of the phone(the top of the button), it is perfectly straight. When looking at the BACK off the phone, you can see that the button sits slightly lower on the bottom than the top. And I do mean slightly. It also presses a little more easily on the bottom, with less pressure. It doesn't feel loose or anything, and every display I have played with has had a different feel to its buttons. Some more like mine than others. I think it's because the power button Has a single point of contact, unlike the volume buttons, so most of them seem looser on one side or another...?
Got another "unfortunately, Samsung WatchOn has stopped" message this morning. Again, I didn't start this app. Probably gonna take this back for exchange.

You could always try going into Application Manager and clear data/cache and see if that helps, if you are rooted install Greenify and hibernate it..

Did that yesterday, but have gotten the message once more since. Didn't install greenify though.
Got the phone yesterday and saw the same Watchon problem. Haven't used it yet, just setting it up. The Google Play error 500 is on Google's end but it's fixed now. The home button has some play. The rear cover can be easily removed without damaging the camera cover. So far so good, not enough annoyance to warrant a return yet/

Hello, I'm having wi fi issues with the note 3, could anyone direct me to an xda discussion for this problem? Thanks
Backed up my pics in Dropbox and factory reset after talking to.Samsung. They claim to be unaware of any issues. Well keep an eye on it, and return it to Best Buy if issues persist.
No problems since the reset.
