Random Restarts (Long story) - Sony Xperia M4 Aqua

Hey guys! This is my first thread here, but I knew this site before. I've got an M4 Aqua E2303, Android 5.0, Build 26.1.A.2.167 (upgraded from .99 with TWRP to keep the root.).
The story : I've got this phone like 4 months ago, I was so happy etc... After it updated to 5.0 it kept restarting randomly. Total random, when it was not under using, if I use it, it does not restart itself. Sometimes the restarts occurs when it's under charging, and sometimes when I want to unlock it and use it, and sometimes total randomly, and sometimes it shuts down. For different verions the problem was different too. On 26.1.A.2.99 it was the worst, it restarded and stuck on the boot screen until reached 0% battery. On 26.1.A.2.128 It turend off the screen, but the phone was running and the LED was red (even when fully charged) and only started with the hard off button in the SD card slot.
I've got the default "Diagnostics" app, now it says that the Phone got system errors 42 times in 10 days. It was worse before (over 140). But it doesn't say why did it restart, I'm hoping for help from any of you, who had this issue and solved it, or someone who knows a better diagnostic tool that will explain what caused the system fault.
I appreciate all the helps!

Have you performed a factory reset? (It will delete all your data and apps)

Yes, when the phone was new and the restarts were annoying. It fixed it for 1 day. The next day it was restarting again.

This would point to an app you've installed causing the issue. Factory reset again and install each app one by one until the restarts happen to find out which.

If you used the pre-rooted zip to maintain root while updating to the latest android, this will fix your rebooting problem. Follow this guide:

[Q] LG P500 random shutdown

My O1 shuts down every few hours by itself. As everybody told me, i removed the sd card to see if that is the problem, but it still shuts down. Al this "shutdown frenzy" started after i flashed the first custom rom, Void.
I flashed back via nand recovery, i did all possible stuff, but nothing. As i tried reinstalling the original firmware i found out that i coudnt, theres no firmware for Romania, and the KDZ crashez on my machine...
Any suggestions on this one?

Strange... it's really hard way to resolve, but what about some logging on SDCARD? Problem is that it can be really huge file. And Murphy law... it definitely will not restart for many hours...
I just bought a class 6 sd card, i'm testing it, maybe it's the card that shuts down the phone... i'll post the result tomorrow.
Lol man , I have the V10B for romania . I can give it to you on messenger if you add me : zerobarat1 .
Cheers
I had void with gapps, gingerbread, kernel, a2sd, blink, tapps folders on sd. Then I flashed milk_os kernel. Everything was fine.
Then I created stage fright and hwacc folders for quadrant testing. Something happened my neocore score was only 9 fps (though quadrant was 1100). I deleted stage fright, hwacc and kernel folders. Phone was fine again. But was going to sleep of death after some time of non usage. Didn't reboot even from power button. Had to take put and reinsert battery.
So I created the kernel folder again and rebooted. Went into recovery again and applied milk_os kernel again and rebooted. Everything is fine now.
Something remotely similar happened to me a while ago. I found the phone turned off without any particular reason and it refused to power on until I removed and reinserted the battery. It had me worried, but fortunately this didn't happened again ever since.
My problem seems unsolved. I also found my phone dead two times again only in last 4 hours.
Guys any solution. I have void with a2sd enabled and with mik_os kernel 1.1
Did you have the same problem when you were on stock? It might be a physical fault rather than the rom. Also, I believe the latest void already have mik_os kernel 1.1? So there was no need to flash it again.
a2sd maybe? I read quite a lot of issues with that thing.
Miks kernel 1.1 has some scrolling bugs, flash 1.0 and maybe problems solved
I applied mik_os v 1.0. Now everything seems ok for last 16 hours. Will notice further.
Everything ok till now. May be it was something related to mik_ os 1.1.
With 1.0 problem seems to be fixed as of now.
Try dev kernel v3, it's enhanced version of mik's v1.0 kernel
Sorry to say, but this damn bug stroke again. I just found my phone dead, unwilling to reboot unless I took out the battery (which, by the way, was 94% full).
I'm using void #alpha with a2sd and mik_os kernel 1.0 and I don't have the sdcard unmount problem. I can't tell if this also happens on stock ROM since I don't intend to go back to stock ROM until LG rolls out the 2.3 version.
Waiting for some stock ROM user input, but my guess is that this is hardware related.
Any help?
That happens to me all the time!! I took it to LG center and they said it's because of software problem. Anyway, now my phone has one problem. I accidentally made the locker apps to make default screen and it totally black out my home screen. I can't access to my setting to get rid of this apps or can't make even calls. I tried restarting again and again but it doesn't work. How can I uninstall the apps on phone storage by using PC? Or any better way to solve it. I'm a beginner to Android. So, please kindly help me. It is so annoying.
Hit the search button on phone and if search screen appears, type settings in it. If you are able to reach settings, you can do everything from there. Try playing with the search button on the phone.
If this does not help, you will have to do a factory reset. You can do a factory reset by the pressing the combo of home + vol down + power on buttons if you are on stock rom. If other rom, do via recovery.

same here too .... (when the phone turn off the screen automatically...or auto suspend...is the same) i have the #echo and .... i have the random power off and... some times... it keeps on the boot loop when it supous to suspend... butn when i suspend the phone whit the power button ... the phone keeps working fine... i dont know what to do... XD
I got the class 6 SD and since then i had no problems with shutdown. Though at the time i'm writing, my O1 is at service. It seemed that the shutdowns are related to the sd, even if you don't get any unmount errors. My logs say that each time the phone shut down, it was trying to access a service from the sd memory, and, guess what, there was no sd! So it closed all the services.
could it be unmounting sd card?
After a long time of checking how to fix this, I, finally found it.
I had this error several times, and, I always tried to check where it was the error. I did a factory reset and, suddenly this error stopped. But I needed to know exactly by "doing what" this error appeared.
This error appears in one of this two:
- if you dissactivate the "rotation" in your phone.
- if you dissable bluetooth in your phone
One of those two. If I dissable this two, my phone, in about 1 hour, it suddenly shutdown. But inmmediatly if I enable this options, its stops to crash.
You can toogle this options with the "battery" widget in your phone.
I hope this will help you, as it helped me. Plz, tell all the ppl about, how to fix this.

[Q] I9300 hangs/reboots randomly

Hey,
since about two weeks my i9300 keeps hanging/rebooting randomly. Today it crashed thrice after about one minute after rebooting but the song that was currently playing finished. Just after that, it hang and did nothing. When the phone hangs all I can do is manually force it to reboot. Sometimes it just reboots out of nowhere. This happens mostly when locked and not being used. The logcat is pastebin.com/QdjjrJMT and the dmesg is pastebin.com/bXDJ0fXK Anything that I can do?
Thanks in advance.

Had the same problem weeks before and solved it with another kernel type. Here are many on the board that are worth to give a try
I have three new logs (connected wirelessly to the device for debugging as it never seems to crash when connected via USB) and left adb logcat running until the device crashed, maybe they help:
knubbig.de/f/log.txt
knubbig.de/f/log2.txt
knubbig.de/f/log3.txt
Am not allowed to post links, sorry.
Would be nice if I could keep everything I have and just solve the problem. Thanks.
I have the same problem for a week now. Was on CM 10.1 nightly 14/03/2013. Complete reinstall and wipe didn´t help.
On Saturday i had 15 freezes/reboots in a row...
Changed yesterday to ParanoidAndroid 3.1 and so far only two freezes this morning. I´m still wondering if it´s the hardware or the software...
freeze
I am having the same problem for 4 days. I used mega wipe , installed 5-6 custom roms but it still freezes and today it started to reboot randomly.
8 reboots/freezes this morning. Other customs doesn´t make it better.
I´m trying a stock rom now and putting it back to warranty status.
I think (at least it seems) I solved it by going back to stock, then re-rooting via cf-auto-root and then installing cm again. I got it to the state i had 24 hours ago with crashes only last evening and it hasn't crashed since.

Hi folks.
My SGS3 had a workshop replacing the motherboard some 2 weeks ago, right the way i installed root and setup "Siyah-s3-v1.8.9-CWM" With UltimaRom v.10 on primary rom, "FoxHound_Rising_2.3_Full-Essential_JellyBean" on the second rom.
This worked great for about a week, then the phone out of the blue starts rebooting all the time, for hours and hours or until it runs out of battery.
No Stock recover through Kies can solve the problem With reboot.
Try to reflash With various roms through Odin With, Aroma installer starts, let me choose the options best suited for XELLA build and after aroma setups is finished and the phone goes on With rom setup, after 2sek or when setup starts or try to start it goes to blackscreen and setup dies.
Have tried many kernels and roms, but the Device is dead.
Any ideas on where to start looking?
Thanks a lot for Your time

Since I flashed the stock rom yesterday, my problems are also gone. I´m trying today a custom rom again.
Stock rom seems to be solving this issue.

I had the same issue. At first I thought it was the SDS fix, and then it stopped right out of the blue. I'd suggest just using it for another week or two. If it doesn't stop, let us know and then we can maybe find a solution.
Usually it's caused by the phone calling a memory block which is faulty, the fix then tells the phone to stop and it crashes, to save it from dying.

It´s not as simple as you say. Stock is running fine. But whenever I flash a custom rom, I get random freezes after some time.
But only a few freezes, not nearly as many as before...
So, the freezes are now gone since six days. Flashed a stock rom 3 times in a row.
It´s running fine like before, and i´m gonna stay with stock rom for a few days more to be sure.

P780 keeps "unfortunately stopped working" even after factory reset

First I'd like to thank you all for this forum, it helped us very much.
A few weeks ago My P780 (with english KitKat, rooted by seller) started showing these error messages "calendar has stopped working" "acore has stopped working" "google services has stopped working" "(random app) has stopped working". Only pushing the reset button got rid of these messages. These crashes became more and more frequent and I decided to try and solve it. I watched many "how to" videos on youtube and I decided to clear cache in factory mode. It did not solve it. Than I saved all my important data, and did a factory reset. The loading screen was on for too long, and I thought it froze, so I pushed reset. This made my phone to have a boot loop.
My brother has the exact same phone, and he did a Jellybean upgrade a year ago, and it was successful. So I have my phone to him, to repair it. Just by curiosity he did a memory check on HIS P780, and when he stopped it, it almost made his phone brick. So we had 2 identical bricked P780s.
After so many tries, he disconnected the battery and managed to recover his phone, and it works perfectly again. The strange thing is, he can't repair my phone though using the same method, same software, same driver, same cable and trying many ROM versions. After installing ROM, my phone works perfectly, but when he installs google services, all those "unfortunately stopped" error messages return. We can't understand why these error messages appear, if the phone was reflashed so many times and we tried so many ROMs. Does anybody have a clue?

Can you be more specific? What firmware did you flashed? Most of them have GAPPS installed.
Did you flashed the firmware with SP Flash Tool?

Yes, we used SP Flash Tool.
We tried firmware/ROM: "s129" (factory) and "p780_s941_vibeui_v2.0_1512". Both without GAPPS, because our phones are CE (china), not ROW (rest of the world). CE firmware does not include GAPPS. Tomorrow we will try to install ROW firmware.

We installed VIBEUI_2.0_1512_7.149_1_ST_P780_baralajbi, this version included GAPPS and it workes perfectly. Everything is way better than the factory ROM. Unfortunately after a few days of usage the same problem returned (android unfortunately stopped), but now I noticed something. My phone keeps overheating.
I remember now, this has happened before, with the factory ROM, my phone became hot all the time, but I thought it's because of the very hot summer temperature. Now I noticed, that even if I keep the phone in my pocket, wifi, data transfer, gps, and everything turned off, not many applications running in the background, and my phone is still quite hot. When I turn the screen on and start using some apps, after 10-15 minutes it crashes.

Mobile gets soft-bricked automatically...

Hi Friends...
I have a Micromax D303 android 4.4 mobile. There is a problem with it. It gets soft bricked automatically after some time. I have to reinstall the firmware to make it work again.
Here is its behavior:-
First of all, its launcher stops working (launcher 3). ERR:- "Unfortunately, the launcher has stopped working." Using Titanium backup, I saw that launcher freezes. Defrosting it didn't work. It remains froze. Slowly slowly, it happens to all the apps. And at last, a time comes when it becomes useless. It will reboot automatically and will be stuck on the logo. Then I flash the ROM and make it work. I only use its stock ROM.
What I have tried:-
1. I installed stock ROM but it stops working again after some time.
2. During the firmware installation, I have tried "format + download" option.
3. I usually root my mobile, but I have tried keeping it without root. Still, the problem happens.
4. I thought, there may be some Trojan Horse in my memory card. But, I have tried formatting it, changing it and even kept my mobile without it. But the problem persists.
This problem starts happening when I once tried to flash it with a custom ROM. I bricked my mobile. Then I repaired it by flashing stock ROM. After that, this problem starts happening. Sometimes, it happens after two months, sometimes, even after two days.
Can anyone have any guess about this? Any solution? Anyone?
By the way, this is my first thread. I am new here. Hoping to get nice first experience.
Thanks in advance!

Random Reboots Galaxy Tab S3

Hi, I would need your help, I bought this used tablet (Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 sm-t825 with latest update Android 9.0 Pie) a year ago, after a few months it started having problems with reboots and freezing. During its normal use, in charge and in stand-by, the tablet restarts and most of the time it enters the boot loop for a few minutes, while other times it only restarts and works immediately as it should for a while, sometimes days and sometimes a few minutes. I tried to do numerous factory resets, to reflash the original system with odin, to use the tweaked rom found here on xda and also to clear the cache several times, dalvik, etc ... but nothing worked, I don't think it depends on any app because sometimes the freeze also occurs during the first configuration screen. I have no more ideas on possible causes and solutions, so I ask for your help, hoping that someone can help me solve this strange problem, feel free to ask questions and comment, maybe it could also be useful to others, thanks.
I'm also having this issue, did you manage to find a solution?
I had to flash the latest update just to get my tablet booting and then it took me many attempts to get through the set up wizard.
Now the tablet boots and runs normally for about 5 minutes then restarts.
same here any fixes?
