[Q] S4 mini rebooting very often! - Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

[Q] Phone freezes randomly

hi guys,
I'm flashing CM7.0.3. Everything seemed to run for like 4 months but about a week ago, my phone started freezing up randomly. When I'm in any application, it just freezes up, about 4 times an hour, so it's really annoying. The screen just displays what ever it was displaying when the phone froze and doesn't go to sleep. I just can't do anything. All I can do is do a batterypull. It started happening after I installed ADW EX so i uninstalled it. That didn't help... I posted this problem on the cyanogen forum too but that didn't help...
Can someone please help me?
Thanks,
Maybe try flashing the ROM again. CM7 has had a lot of updates in the past 4 months anyway, and is on version 7.1. You might even be able to update the ROM without wiping data. But if the problem persists, try wiping dalvik, cache, data and re-flash.

Like the title says everytime i install a custom rom and it boots up for the first time it runs smooth but after 10 mins or so it just freezes and even after trying a battery pull or restarting from recovery it just freezes at the boot animation the only thing that has worked was restoring it back to stock original rom via Odin also phone will not root this is not my first time installing a rom and i have installed many roms on many devices and have not encountered this problem until a couple of days ago i had been running PACMAN Rom for Note 2 for almost 3 weeks and everything was smooth until 2 days ago when i started getting force closures the only thing i had done was tryout a new launcher call Buzz Launcher i uninstalled it to see if that was the problem but was still getting constant freezing and after my phone would not accept a charge via the usb cable or power brick if any one else has had this problem or knows of a solution i would appreciate it thanks i can't stand stock android and its driving me nuts. Also yes i do a full wipe/factory reset/dalvik cache & cache reset before any rom install

[Q] GT-I9195 crashes and becomes hot

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.

[Q] Question RE Random Reboots and Freezing on stock 4.4.2

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.

Factory reset on a corrupted Android OS?

So about a few years ago, I tried to root my galaxy note 4 (n910aucu2doi3), but I guess it rejected the root because it instantly bricked my phone, to the point where I had to completely wipe it using android recovery. The only way to get my operating system back was to download it online and install it through my PC (I had to find the exact version for my phone as well, 5.1.1 at the time, because it rejected every single other version).
Everything seemed to be working fine, except that I couldn't install software updates on my phone anymore. It was permanently stuck on 5.1.1. It was a bit of an annoyance but I didn't think much of it at the time.
Fast forward to now, and I'm getting several signs that my OS may be corrupted. My phone is constantly freezing, crashing and restarting. Maneuvering through applications causes the phone to freeze for a few seconds before either restarting or crashing the app. I want to say it's definitely a software issue, but I did install a new battery recently and it was working fine for a few weeks, could that be the issue?
If not, I want to start over, but I'm not sure how, and I don't know if it's safe to do a factory reset on this OS. Is there anyway I can get a fresh stock version of an android OS that can also update?
Any help is appreciated, I'm pretty much desperate.
I manually updated to 6.0.1 with the help of this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-att/general/updates-thread-t3663943
It seems to have fixed the issues so far, and my phone can automatically update again
