[Q] Freeze then reboot - Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti

So here is my problem, from time to time the tablet just freezes, only the notification bar is responsive and as soon as I pull it down, It becomes too late and the only wawy I can use the tablet again is to force reboot by holding the power button.
My GT-N5110 being rooted and the Android version is 4.1.2 stock (^^).
If you know where the problem comes from feel free helping me getting ride of it

I've gotten this occasionally. I went through the device the other night and uninstalled a lot of stuff that was in the "maybe works/maybe not, I never use" category, and I've been getting much less of this behavior since.
After installing the multiwindow app (which I like) I found that the camera app would make my device lock up and require a reboot.
Turning off the multiwindow feature (not uninstalling the app) gave me the ability to use the camera again.
Sorry I can't remember what-all I uninstalled.

It happened to me when i rooted with superuser, i unrooted and then re-rooted using SuperSU (same root app, only chose supersu). Never happened to me since.

thank you all,
i'll try uninstalling and unrooting then rerooting it using superSu.
Just for the update : the manipulations above seem to have solved the issue. Thank you again for your help.

Yes, there's been quite a bit of discussion about this in the main thread. I haven't tried it myself, but the new G+ app is causing FC for a lot of (all?) users. It may well be a problem with the underlying HTC base software. Only "solution" I've seen is to uninstall it, sorry.
I'd suggest we all wait for Google to release v2.0 officially, that way we would avoid a lot of issues
I get Force Close on superuser, anywhere from 2-10 times a day...whether the phone is judt on main screen with no apps open, but use any rooted apps like system app remover, rom manager etc etc....force close all the time.
pull out battery, go into recovery, fix permissions...sorts it for an hour or so, then starts all over again....aRGHHH!!!

Do you have the Market version of Superuser installed? If you do, check to see if it has updated to 3.0.5, and if so uninstall the upgrade. There's more about this in the main ARHD thread.

Is Magisk/Root causing random reboots for anyone?

I'm trying to figure out if my pixel is randomly rebooting due to magisk/root or if I'll need to RMA it. It's done it on both 8.0 and 8.1. It only seems to happen when the device get's below 20% battery. Is anyone else experiencing this or should I start and RMA? Thanks in advance.
Looks like Magisk 14.5 might have something to do with it.
Starting on page 452 there are a few posts from there on about it.
Symptoms are a random reboot with a soft boot loop of the SystemUI. The only way to correct it is to hard reboot the device.
I can usually go a few days worth of up time between the bug reappearing.
I was the exact same way on 8.0. Every couple of days, it would start randomly rebooting and/or apps would start crashing. The only fix was to hold the power button until it rebooted. Rebooting by just pressing the power button and selecting reboot would always hang.
I was hoping 8.1 would fix it, but it's quite a bit worse. It's done it at least 4 times so far today. Same symptoms. Apps will start crashing (sometimes the foreground app, sometimes background ones), or the phone will just soft reboot, or both. Sometimes it's while I'm using it, sometimes I'm not using it at the time. No rhyme or reason, that I can tell..
I had one app that crashed immediately every time I tried to start it until I uninstalled it and restored it from backup (with data). That was weird.
If this keeps up, I may have to roll back to 8.0.

There is a larger thread on this HERE. There is no definitive smoking gun yet but certain root apps seem to be causing it. One way to rule out Magisk would be to simply uninstall the app temporarily (longpress>>App Info>>Uninstall) then fastboot flash the original boot.img and dtbo.img. Run this way long enough to know for sure whether being rooted is causing the issue. There are tons of people rooted who do NOT have this issue, so it is more than likely one of your root apps/themes is causing it.
Seems removing magisk has fixed it at least for me. The only root specific app I used was unified hosts. Sucks that it's that because I only really use root to block ads.

Have you tried Adaway? I use very few root apps, but that is the first one I add every time. I've not had any reboots at all and it is very effective. Because you only use the one root app, you may find the culprit was UH, and not Magisk.
I have used adaway but unified seemed to block more. I'm going to try and switch back to adaway and see if I continue to go without reboots

You can use different host files you don't have to use the ones that come with AdAway. Try Steven blacks out
I'm having this same issue with Magisk. I experienced it with an older Magisk on 8.0 as well.
I'm thinking about just getting rid of Magisk altogether. However, I used ES File Explorer to edit my build.prop to add the command to disable the nav bar. I'm nervous that uninstalling Magisk will cause the "your system is corrupt" message and a bootloop. However, I also have Flash Kernel installed. I wonder if the custom kernel will allow me to use the phone with the modified build.prop and without Magisk...

Trebuche launcher keeps closing itself after phone launches

Hey so I dug up my old Galaxy Nexus and wanted to get it ready for my dad to use. However after booting up when ever I try to do anything (press on an app or the menu) a notification pops up saying " Trebuche launcher has crashed". Rendering me unable to do anything as I can't get into the menu or settings either. I am not sure what to do. I think the phone has some version of Jelly bean on it from Cyenogen mod. It is a while back since I did anything with it.
So before I mess up and brick it I wanted to ask if anyone knows how to go forward with it.
In a crazy coincidence this is exactly the problem I ran into yesterday. I factory reset it in TWRP several times and it always eventually happened again. It may not be related, but it first happened immediately after updating the play store/services and agreeing to the play protect.
This last time I removed the SIM, reset, and reboot it. I immediately opened the play store (without opening the app drawer or trying to click on settings), turned off auto updating, and downloaded Nova Launcher. When you click home it asks which you'd prefer. I was then able to go to settings without any problems.
So far it's been about 45 minutes without crashing and restarting.
LineageOS (the successor of CyanogenMod) has an official build for toro that is currently maintained so after a complete backup I intend to flash it.
Hope this helped

Phone died,then root and other things stopped working

PHONE: HTC10
ROM: LEEDROID_10_V3.0.0 BETA3-R7
SAFETY:1 NOV 2016
NOUGAT
2.28.401.8.8.0_G ...
i have been using this since 2016, i never had any problems with device apart from phone rebooting upon reaching battery level. Yesterday it reached battery level,died,rebooted, and my Sense home stopped working, fb stopped working , i needed to get permissions again for every app again . My root doesnt seem to work anymore,i get magisk tick,but for example i cant get busybox to Allow root access for apps like Lucky patcher
i tried: turning it off and on again, rebooting,quick booting. No change
what caused this?what do i do? I cant use sense since it keeps FC,im using the crappy google launcher now. I fixed FB and messenger FCing by deleting and redownlding them.
Ok small update, i fixed the apps and sense home not working. All i had to do was a tedious but simple process of uninstall and reinstalling every app. Some apps wouldn't FC, but couldn't do things like Spotify search or login.
I still need suggestions for root, how do I re-root the phone? It's been too long since I did hacks. I assume it'll be by flashing from CMW/recovery?
You can probably dirty flash the Leedroid rom and see if it helps. Better to ask in the Leedroid thread though

Applications are lagging and crashing after Oreo update

A while ago I was using lineage on my g5 but after some bank app issues, I started using the stock ROM again. After the Oreo update (November I guess?) some apps became unusable, some examples are the YouTube that freezes for more than 10 seconds and crashes shortly after or WhatsApp that when I click on any conversation it freezes for a long time before becoming responsible again. If I try to open any game it freezes on the splash art as well. I tried a factory reset but the problem still happens, so I downgraded to 7.0 and it still persists even though it wasn't happening in this version in the past.
I am out of ideas, any suggestions?

Do running problematic apps (that you have mentioned) while phone's in the safe mode change something? Does the phone feel more responsive than usually? If yes, try the following. Backup all of your important data and wipe your phone one more time (data + cache). Then, set it up as a brand new and start installing (don't restore them) the apps you use slowly (one by one) to determine, which one may cause lag.

Yeah the phone is more responsive. Everything is normal, then I tried opening YouTube (one of the problematic apps that aren't disabled in safe mode) and it is still freezing and after some seconds it is crashing. So the problem is still happening even in safe mode.
I thought it would be a problem with media in general but the photo app and chrome are working normally.

While experiencing the lag and freezing...
Do you have an sdcard inserted? If yes, is it formatted as an external storage or as an adoptable storage (means extends internal memory)?
Which ROM are you running (if stock, write its build number also)? Write all modifications made to your phone too (e.g. unlocked bootloader, TWRP or Magisk installed etc.), please.
One more thing to ask, which version of Moto G5 do you own (2/32 or 3/16) and aren't you running out of system resources (e.g. RAM) constantly? Check your average RAM usage (in Oreo, it's under "Developer options") and the apps which consume the biggest amount of the RAM.
