Hey guys,
Within the last two days I experienced the follwoing problem with my S4 mini GT-I9195;
For some reason it crashes so I can't turn on my screen and it becomes hot.
If that happens I have to remove the battery to be able to re-boot again.
The phone is rooted but with stock-rom - I didn't find any thread describing a similar problem.
Unfortunately that always happened while the phone was in my pocket and not in use...
The phone is 1 week old was rooted at the first day and this failure occured starting on Thursday.
Thanks,
Sebastian
Do you have a lot of apps installed? If so, you may have conflicts between some that run in the background (it happens).
If you haven't tried, do a data wipe / factory reset and see if that will resolve it.
You might have a badly manufactured S4 Mini and the last resort would be to flash it a stock rom and kernel to lose traces of rooting and just take it back wherever you got it from. Hopefully it can be replaced with a new one.

My Desire has intermittent freezing issues. I thought it might have been due to a poor rom installation so I wiped the Dalkvik cache and factory wipe before I re-flashed LeeDroid 2.2a. I've kept the phone clean and not installed any apps so I can rule out and problems caused by them.
It was working fine yesterday until I was showing a friend how to wipe battery stats, when I went to reboot the phone from ClockworkMod it then froze at the lock screen. I had to pull the battery twice before it actually started up correctly.
It's fine now but I'm just waiting on it happening again.
Has anyone else had these issues?
It was a t-mobile uk handset and I would need to restore to their rom before returning, so if that is the likely solution, can someone pass a link so I can put their rom back on the phone.
Any help or advice appreciated.
I've just got my Desire back from repair (after 6 weeks of grief with HTC, but that's another story on another thread!) and it's doing exactly the same as yours....will appear to work fine, then randomly freeze. This could happen after 10 minutes or sometimes even during boot.
I've rooted it, but it's still got the stock T-Mobile (UK) ROM. I'm wondering if the problem might be caused by rooting, but have downloaded the 2 stock ROMs on the relevant thread on here, but neither will install.
Have you had any joy with your issue?
I'll email you as well.
Cheers,
Rich
I have read around regarding this problem without luck, and hope that someone can advise if I have missed anything.
I used to use this phone and as I liked to tweak it was running a custom rom (think it was Wanams). Anyway I got an upgrade ages ago, and my wife carried on using the phone for a while. As she just needs a standard rom I recently decided to factory reset and use Odin to flash the newest stock rom (N7100XXUFNE1 - UK). This is when the problems started. Initially the Wifi wouldn't come on, but after factory resetting and using the Samsung Updater in Kies I finally managed to get Wifi back. Then, while setting it up and installing apps from the Play store it started freezing and had to be rebooted every 5 or 10 mins. Finally after doing this a couple of times, all the apps were installed and after leaving it to "settle" it seemed to be better. Now however, 2 or 3 times a day, when playing games or using other apps, it will just reboot.
What I have tried is:
* I have tried clearing cache through the stock recovery
* Tried a number of Factory Resets
* After reading about the SDS problem I have tried running the "dummy file generator" to fill the internal memory and this completes ok. I guess this means that although I have memory that is/was susceptible I applied the original SDS fix early enough with the custom rom that all the memory is still ok?
As I have the newest bootloader I can't downgrade that, but as I don't care about triggering Knox I was thinking of rooting and installing a custom rom to see if any of the other Kernels help?
Has anyone got any idea's what could be causing this and what I can do to fix it?
Thanks.
Hi all!
First of all thanks for your work..it's awesome!!thanks to you i enjoyed my s plus until some days ago it has broken..very sad day
However i decided to move on with a more modern cel, so i decided for a s4 mini.
But since the beginning i've had lot of problems..
My phone after an original update from samsung started to freeze and reboot..more and more often..i read it could be an issue with original update so i decided to mod my phone since i've had great improvements with my old s plus..
first i installed cm11 but the phone keep rebooting and rebooting ..so i installed cm12 with android l..but the problem is still here!!
the more my phone became hot the more it reboot..it's unusable and i don't know what to do..i'm also begin to doubt it's a hw problem
my warranty is gone with all this mods..so what to do? any others has this kind of problem?
thanks if yo want to answer
People encountering this should perform a factory reset and wipe everything from the phone.
Then, perform a clean install of whichever rom you wish to use, without any additional apps.
I recently encountered an issue with Apex Launcher and a recent update. Android keep crashing and soft rebooting often.. only after a few days did I realise the launcher was the issue. Since I uninstalled the app the phone hasnt restarted once!
Mine restarts after i turn on Mobile Data + GPS for navigation..
It works for a minute and restarts.
I don't know where the problem is either. I tried to flash cm10, 11.. stock 4.2 / 4.4 and nothing seems to get me rid of the problem
Hi everyone. I have a sporadic problem with my vanilla note 3 from t mobile. Its a totally random occurrence but sometimes it will freeze(loose all input functionality) sometimes it will just stay black screen(no input taking) and usually (not always) it will reboot itself after this happens(sometimes a battery pull is required). Is this a memory leak issue? Thanks for any help. Sometimes it will run fine for a week or 2 and then all the sudden it will start acting up.
Was it rooted? I had a similar issue before mine was rooted, some of the system load programs that I didn't use would start up and then grab all resources. ..
Mine was doing the same thing while rooted with towelroot. Even after I unrooted it was doing the same thing. I didn't try a factory reset, but T-Mobile is sending me a replacement phone.

If it was my phone I would do cache wipe first, if still no go then full factory reset and I would then reinstall most important programs first.
Restarting phone every few days is not a bad idea on it's own and BTW when was the last time you cleaned garbage from it?
So, I've had the premium for almost 3 weeks now. On the second day it crashed whilst I was listening to music +browsing in chrome. Thr screen turned inky and then turned off. Since then I haven't had anything similar happen, but I have had 1 or 2 reboots. Are these signs something could be wrong with my phone? I have like a week to get a replacement. It's rev 2, other than this I have no complaints.
Try to remove cach in recovery mode, maybe that will fix your problem. If not let me know
This has been happening to me as well and actually results in boot loops. Since I have Liveboot, I can see the dmesg output. It says "Failed to start system services. Invalid abi: ABI" or something like that. I'm RomAur so maybe that has something to do with it?
It has happened to me 3 times this week. Also RomAur 1.1. It seems to happen when i am heavy multitasking, definitely related to chrome I think.
I'm completely stock... I use chrome as my main browser. The last time it happened it froze on wake whilst it was charging... The first time I was listening to music and doing something else which I can't recall. The phone has 3gb of ram so I don't really clear my recent apps as often as I did on my S4. It happens once a week on average for me. Cache wipe didn't do anything.
You could've easily gotten a faulty device. A but load of hardware issues can do that and I would advice you to do a factory reset, update to the latest F/W (flash it if not available in ur region), see if it happens again and if it does - get a replacement
Gd luck
If you're totally stock this might not help but I narrowed my problem down to xposed being unstable as crap on mine at least. Hasn't happened since I went back to stock fw (using. 200 generic FR). But I tried to install xposed and I got the three light reboot immediately.

exactly like that on my z5 . when i flash the xposed uninstaller , it doesnt randomly reboot, but when i flash xposed , it does.i was thinking of flashing .200 ftf and then flashing xposed from the beggining (before i install any apps ) to see if it helps , but you said you did it??
