My note 4 randomly freezes and goes to black. It also randomly restarts, gets stuck, and then restarts again. It's very annoying, if I want to check something, I hit the home button and the phone is frozen on the lock screen. Random apps are also crashing but instead if just closing the app my phone's screen just shuts off and I can't get into the phone for at least a minute. I don't know what the problem is and I really don't want to factory reset my phone.
I would pull the battery and take out the SD card (if you have one) and sim card and boot it up and see if that helps.
If u r using de-bloatware app then try restoring all the apps.
Factory reset, don't install anything and see if it continues. Then start installing a couple of apps till it happens again, try to identify the offending
App.
Same here.. Just started happening 2 weeks ago.. I have yet to find the offending app. ****ing ATT and their ****ty note 4 ughhhh
Happening to me too. Even after factory reset, and in Safe mode. I think it is from the June 16, update. I plan on taking it in to the att store and having them flash the new update to the phone. Thinking maybe my over the air update got screwed up somehow.
I put mine on ultimate power saving mode at night to keep it from dying since I forgot my charger. When I woke up, I tried to turn off ultimate power saving mode, but the option was gone. I rebooted and it got stuck at the att boot logo. I took it to the att store and they said I'd have to file a claim on insurance and that they can't fix it.
I cane home and connected it to adb to see if I could back up my files. Without sending a command to it, it wiped itself and factory reset. I lost everything, but since then I have had no issues.
Mine started doing this a couple of weeks ago. Factory reset twice, sd card out. Still doing it. Had to go back to note 3. With sd card and sim card out it seems to work ok on WiFi only.. No stuttering or force closes since?

Mine was doing the same thing. Turns out the battery was taking a crap. New battery and no more issues. For myself at least.
Mine is unusable. It boots into download mode half the time after factory reset. When I get it to boot up it only lasts for 15 minutes then resets again and gets stuck

Try what I did accidently. Connect to your pc. Boot into recovery lode and see if you can connect with adb. Then connect to with adb sideload and let it sit there. Maybe send a few commands and see if it will do like mine. It might get it to unhang. You might lose everything if it restores, but it might do like mine.

Mine mostly ok, albeit chained to at&t FIRMWARE, but I do get an odd eeror: when in a call the phone will make a a keypad tone,as though I'm leaning on the keypad [not], often mid-Bluetooth handsfree calls. It last 2-4 seconds, long enough to interrupt the flow of a call. anyone ?
I have had tons of apps update as of late. I too am experiencing lag, lock ups, black screen. I thought I was alone.
Had a friend's Note 4 do the same only he was on Sprints network. He was not rooted and on MM. I tried a factory reset and it helped for an hour or two then it went back to random rebooting or apps freezing. I tried flashing factory software through ODIN. It was good for an hour then went back to random reboots and apps freezing. I tried another ODIN flash without restoring any of his apps and the same thing happened. I tried changing the battery and that wasn't it, I removed the SD card and that wasn't it either.
He had to take it to Sprint and they ended up just giving him an S7.

I started having this problem just after the update. I tried to switch the battery out and tried to take SD card out. I factory reset it about 3 times now. Nothing has solved it.
I took it into AT&T, and even though I'm not under warranty anymore (had phone for almost 2 years now), they worked with me and ended up giving me a new s7.
I suggest you go talk to AT&T because this is a problem with all AT&T Note 4's. Tell them you want it fixed and talk to the managers and get them to contact the corporate help desk. Don't leave without them fixing it. You paid $900 for this phone.
Gave you a new S7? Or swapped it out on a next contract?

I did not pay a dime. But you have to show them that it freezes and crashes even after they factory reset it
Just left an [email protected] store. He looked at me like I had 3 heads. He had never heard of such. Will call corporate and work my way down.
I did hold a S7 edge.... it was a thing of beauty and speed. No ir though... it's why I like note 4
Works without sim
I've had the exact same issues, (Galaxy Note 4 on AT&T). Tried factory reset, wiping cache, re-flashing with odin, removing SD card, removing apps, multiple batteries, etc.... the only thing that has worked so far is removing the SIM card. It runs flawless without it. Currently using my S3 for calls and text and use the note 4 like a giant iPod touch on wifi only. Hoping this is a software issue AT&T will correct but knowing them..... best bet is probably to wait until August and get the new Note 7.
Why not try the MM update that is out right now, it´s not an OTA but by just renaiming the file to update.zip, putting it in your ds card and applying it through recovery you will have a practically new phone, it´s worth the try.
I´m ruuning it and it´s been great so far, no bugs, no errors.

I have searched for this issue but couldn't find anything about it...
So I got my GSM Galaxy Nexus from Rogers 10 days ago. It has been working dandy with maybe 1 force close the whole time and no random reboots. I also unlocked the bootloader and installed 4.0.2 (yakju) keeping the radio that came with it intact.
I also installed Google Wallet on it and successfully used it. Other than that, I haven't done any tweaks, and like I said, it has been working perfectly with no problems whatsoever.
Enter today: I woke up this morning and went to check my phone. Instantly like 3 applications force closed (ones that weren't even running in the foreground too). Now for the past 3 hours hours or so, applications force close (some won't even have a chance to run for a second) and the phone reboots randomly. I think it has rebooted around 30 times in the past 3 hours. Sometimes it reboots as soon as it has booted up, sometimes it works for a few minutes before rebooting.
Every time it reboots it shows my old battery stats (I think.. from before I went to sleep), and notifies me of the same emails. I managed to install one app before it did a random reboot once, but after the reboot it was gone. (Think Groundhog Day).
I have no idea how to fix this short of doing a factory reset. Anyone have any ideas as to what may be happening or how to fix it?
Thanks.

Is it doing a full reboot or just a "warm start"?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
What's a warm start? It seems to be doing a full reboot.. Screen goes black, then Google logo appears, then the boot animation.
It seems that I cannot do a factory reset.. selecting it in the menu brings me to the android robot on its back with a red exclamation mark, and selecting wipe data from that menu doesn't actually wipe anything even though it says it does.
Try unlocking and relocking your boot loader if you are going to factory reset anyways
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
It's already unlocked.. You mean locking it and unlocking again? Also, is there any way to batch reinstall all the apps tied to my account? And also, any clue how this issue could have originated? I want to avoid it in the future.
No idea.. all I can think of is an app using all of your memory as that's what causes a force close.. and sure try relocking and unlocking if a normal factory reset won't do it. If you have titanium backup you can use that to batch reinstall but if it is an all causing this issue you should install them one at a time to see of there are any adverse effects.
I don't know if it is an app but that is my best guess.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I hadn't installed any new apps prior to this.. and everything was working fine before, which is why I'm confused as to what could have caused this. Also, not just one app force closes, but like 4 at a time.. usually the Google apps for some reason. I checked the memory and the CPU and it seemed to be running at normal levels.
Have you tried an old-fashioned battery pull?
Haven't had this happen to me, but a pull usually does the trick.
Yep, and it hasn't worked.. Every time the device reboots, it will either reboot again right away, or if i don't touch it, it will idle. Then if I try to do anything, 3 or 4 apps will crash instantly, and then it will freeze and instantly restart.
If I manage to install an app, I can run it, but then it crashes and reboots again with no sign of the app. Deleting apps is also useless as they are back after reboot. Strange issue.
Guys, I really need help.. I finally had time to sit down with my phone and figure out this issue so I decided to just do a wipe. As I wrote previously, I am unable to wipe it from within the OS due to it rebooting when I do, so I decided to re-lock the bootloader.
When I typed "fastboot oem lock", it changed the lock state on my phone to locked.. as I was expecting.. however, when I rebooted the bootloader, it was unlocked again. WTF? Now I am trying to flash stock 4.0.2 to it again (which it was already), but it's been stuck on "writing 'system' ..." for half hour
Could the flash memory be corrupted somehow?
Ok, I have deduced that it is most likely corrupted flash memory.. I didn't even know that could happen, especially in 10 days.. I guess that's good ol' "Made in China" at work. Still, am I the only one who has had their flash memory fail on them?
Crossing my fingers that Rogers will replace my Galaxy Nexus even though it's rooted and bootloader unlocked :/
Hey stenzor,
I am facing same problem of rebooting...
But I haven't flashed it to yakju.
Did rogers replaced your?
Hi,
I have a Vietnam made Galaxy Note N7100 which is almost not usable, unit does not comes with any warranty as it is an export set. It runs on the default ROM and is not rooted. Initially the unit works well for a few hours after installing some apps and did some customisation, after I locked the phone, the phone seems to go into deep sleep. I'm not even able to shut off the phone. Worse still, taking out the battery and put in back after mins do not work. To turn the set on again, I got to take out the battery for a few hours or so, then I can start the unit again.
I initially thought it might be some software conflict, I did a factory reset and leave the phone there for a while, the issue persisted.
It is also not the battery issue as I have use the same battery on another N7100 and it works well.
Is there any advice on what can I do to remedy this issue?
Thanks

I had the same problem after some messed up rom flash. If my Note 2's screen goes off for more than 10 seconds, I wouldn't be able to wake it back up without reboot... It was basically in an unusable state. Luckily after 2 whole days of digging I've found the solution.
1. Go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1915386
2. Scroll about 1/3rd of the way down and look for the attachment "BOOTLOADER_N7100.zip"
3. Flash the BOOTLOADER_N7100.zip with Odin using the Bootloader field
That's it!
Good luck guys. I created an account specifically to answer this question. It was a major pain in the ass finding a fix for this problem so I wanted to make sure I spread the fix on this issue so others don't need to suffer through the same thing.
SOS please
i now have the same issue where i tried the liquid rom on my n7100...as soon as it installed my phone started switching itself off within 5 secs and show a red battery light..and no love nor money can I get it on without rebooting..
i tried the bootloader in Odin after re installing the stock rom..but as soon as i select start..it fails??
Anything else?
I am also experiencing shutdowns with my Vietnam unit. I have 4.1.2 original ROM and I tried many possibilities to solve it. No success. The phone shuts off if I start an online radio (or tunein radio) and after max 2 min it shuts off. Doesn't matter if is on data plan or through router.
Had a problem of the phone freezing and had to restart the phone. Then again it would freeze after some time. Flashed stock rom with bootloader and pit but it still persisted. Sent it to the service centre and got my phone back yesterday after mb change. The new mb is with the newer firmware.

I am unable to post external links, so just copy and paste the following domain in to a new browser, making sure to remove and replace the DOTs: wwwDOTgalaxynote2shutsoffDOTcom
note 2 switching off by its self
Had same problem, I switched of data, wi-fi bleutooth, gps, switched them on again 1 at a time.
Phone worked ok untill bluetooth was on again, then it shut down. I think the problem is with Bt.
I emailed samsung support who suggested i connect to kies to check i had latest firmware but i
knew i had, they also suggested a factory data restset, (settings- back up and reset- factory data reset).
Did this last week phone has been working fine since.
Hope this helps.

Okay, I've had my S3 since July of 2012. It has worked perfectly up until about 3 weeks ago. It has just started rebooting randomly and it says it's not sending texts, but the people I'm texting say they receive the message that supposedly fails to send like 5 or 6 times. I've spent the last 2 weeks trying to find a solution online and couldn't find anything. I have flashed probably 15 different roms, including stock rooted. Now I am on complete stock unrooted with stock recovery and I'm having the same issues. I used odin to return to stock. I only have 4 apps installed aside from the bloatware that comes with the phone. I'm sure the texting issue is with T-mobile's service, but the rebooting can't be. It's random, but I can always tell when it's about to do it because the screen will come back on right after I lock it and a few seconds later it will reboot. I have also taken the phone apart to see if the power button is jammed and it wasn't. I removed the actual power button and put it back in just to be sure. The phone still reboots randomly. Is anyone else having this issue and if so have you found a way to stop it? Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thank you for looking.

It stopped. I don't know what it was, but I ran stock for a few days and it just quit. Didn't do anything, but flash it back to stock, It did it for a couple of more days after I flashed it back to stock and then it just randomly quit. It's been almost a full week now and no random reboots. If it starts happening again then I will probably just get a replacement. I do have the insurance through T-mobile, but I don't want to pay the deductible.
Could some dust etc. making power button stuck causing reboots? It could also be unstable rom. If you are oc/uv 'ing the phone that could also do that

I had a similar problem with my Amaze, turns out one of the connector pins to the battery was miss aligned and would on occasion cross the line and short. Luckily nothing catastrophic but the phone would just reboot, sometimes continuously. After I straightened it out, problem solved.

I'm actually having this exact same issue, as well as crashes which seem to happen when copy/pasting text. Reboots, spamming people supposedly failed messages, the works....
And I'm with Sprint.
This is the SECOND S3 that has done this to me. I returned my first one after being fed up with it, guessing it must have been a hardware problem since I couldn't find anyone else that had this issue.. but this one has done it too, so I just figured I had to accept it....
phsh I wouldn't accept a piece of hardware that acts like that... bug 'em til they fix it or get you something else like the s4

Interesting to read this. I got my S3 in October, and it just started doing this. Twice it has simply rebooted, both times have been after I uninstalled an app. My phone is completely stock, unrooted. Never been rooted. I took it out of the box and updated it to JB and haven't done anything else. I'm not getting any messaging issues, just the reboots. I'm using Nova Prime, and uninstalling by dragging the icon to the trash can.
I'm not sure what caused mine to stop, but it did. It hasn't done it again since it stopped either. I flashed back to complete stock, unrooted and used triangle away. It was still doing it for maybe a week or two after that, but then it just stopped. It has been working fine ever since. That includes trying 4 or 5 different roms after it stopped just to see if it would do it again. Been running wicked on the same phone for months now without any of the issues I previously had. If your phone is doing this then I suggest either waiting to see if it stops on it's own like mine or get it replaced.
Hello,
Since 2 weeks ago my phone has been started acting all weird. It started with my Phone freezing and restarting itself one morning. It showed the LG logo for a few seconds, then went black and the same thing repeated. LED did not start blinking at first but after a few loops the LED came on, the animation played and phone turned on nicely. No more such problems during the rest of the day.
Fast forward 2 days. It got worse. The freezing and restarting happened more often and at one point it was in the LG logo -> black screen -> LG logo loop for a good 10 minutes before it booted. It also drains my battery about 10% every single time.
So I decided to do a Hard Reset when I managed to keep the phone running long enough. The hard reset process itself worked flawlessly, no issues during the reset what so ever. I though the problem was over until a few minutes after the hard reset when I was reinstalling my apps, it froze and restarted again.
I started googling about the issue and found a few matches. Some people suggested replacing the battery and some suggested putting a piece of paper between the battery and the SIM card slot from which I did the latter. That actually worked for a few days until the reboots came back and it got worse by the day when it finally was completely unusable since it kept restarting after booting up (usually it didn't even get to that point). Then I decided to try a new battery because it was the cheapest option available at that moment.
At first all looked good on a new battery but still, just a few minutes after rebooting the phone from a new battery it froze yet again and restarted itself. So 25€ wasted on nothing.
At this point I'm starting to run out of options and really would not like to buy a new phone since my G3 is only two years old (warranty just ended in October 2016).
Any suggestions are more than welcome at this point.
Best regards,
Taavi
Yesterday I tried flashing the stock V30B marshmallow ROM onto the phone using LG flash tool 2014. It lasted without restarts for about an hour and then it all started again.
So in conclusion:
A) It's not the battery.
B) It's not the software.
C) Thus it must be the hardware.
Since my warranty is void already, the repair costs would probably be quite large.
I think the only chance left for me is to suck it up and buy a new phone.
It was fun while it lasted though. RIP.
Funny thing is that after I removed my SIM card, the issues have stopped for ~24 hours. Yesterday I was able to browse reddit and watch videos for almost 2 hours straight with no issue when I had no SIM card in the phone. I will try inserting the SIM card again after I have fully recharged it to see if maybe it has something to do with the SIM card connection.
Put in the SIM card and it didn't even last 24 hours before restarting. Took it out again. Unfortunately it now restarted even without the SIM card so it still must be some hardware failure.
Same issue here. Changed battery, factory reset, rooted and TWRP+CyanogenMod 14.1 flashed and SU granted.
Constant reboots. Sometimes bootlooped until I remove battery
Having the same problem. Tried new battery but it turned out to be a cheap clone that was worse than old battery. Got another from mbuynow which last longer but still restarts but not that often. Tried the paper trick to to avail. Also tried the LG suite to see if it helped but no luck. Running marshmallow 6.0 and have done a full reinstall. Is this likely to be hardware problem?

Cannot tell for sure but seems it is a hardware problem which is really sad since besides the restarts the phone is still in very good shape. I would take it to repairs but as my warranty is already void it would make sense to simply buy a new phone and sell the current one to parts.
I have the same problem... I flashed CRDroid or something with Android 7.0, it booted normally, but then, restart after few minutes... It can boot normally with the usb to computer, but not with charger. It can also boot to twrp, wipe, install and fix the system works, installing other roms works too, and they can boot normally, but it shut down, as soon I remove the cable... I thought it was nougat rom, it change some in system files or drivers like battery options... I'm out of options...

In case of first one new battery was a bingo but i did not investigate second - im going maybe for new phone. Funny thing. Maybe product life time was to planned to good(for producer)?
I was a great phone, longest I have and most customised... Very agile, never had bricked, bootlooped or failed to flash... Thank you for your great support, LG G3.... Rest in Peace... If someone can bring it back to life, I'll be back to that.
I'm counting on someone stumbling on a fix as well. It's still an awesome phone expect for this stupid thing.
I had similar issues but I realized that different SIMs seemed to work with the phone. Went to my carrier and requested a new one. Since then, no issues. Maybe something with the sim card slot?

It happens even when my SIM card is not in the phone. It could easily be the SIM card tray but cannot confirm without taking it to repairs.
Did you try disabling Location?
(I had random reboots when the battery went to 25% and when i disabled Location services,it got fixed)

One of the hard resets I did was from full charge and I didn't enable anything, including location. It still went into the reboot loop.

It might be a hardware problem in some LG G3 phones.
It began rebooting and bootlooping after 2 days,that i had disabled the location services.
Now i'm thinking of getting a new battery but i don't really think it will do any effect..
So i might buy a new phone..

I had the same problem as you,i bought a new battery and everything got fixed.(you need exact the same Model of battery so when you go to a store note the model of the battery)
Temporary Fix
1- Remove the SIM, turn on the phone, put it in Airplane Mode.
2-Insert the SIM turn on the phone.(Don't change Air mode).
3- Turn off auto backup/restore in settings.
4-Go to network setting>Preferred network Type.
5-Turn Off the Airplane Mode and immediately SELECT THE 3G only(Before it catches the signals), in some phones WCDMA only.(Do not Select 4G/LTE/2G).
6-Done
7-Restart the phone.(Now it will not reboot)
Drawbacks:
In 2G signal zone, There will be no signals.
Its a hardware problem,But its a way to trick it.

Hello Smart People,
I have an unlocked at&t note 4 and for the past 2 week my phone will freeze for 1-2 minutes then it will be useable again or if it is not doing that will randomly reboot when I am using the phone. So benging of last week I called tmobile since I have them now. I spoke to tech support. Told them my problem and they had me turn off the phone and take the sd card out and then boot into recovery to clear the cache. That did not work. Within 5 minutes of have the phone back at the home screen it froze again. So tmobile said that it was not the sd card in the phone. Told me to turn the phone off and put the sdcard back in the phone. Then I rebooted back the home screen. They said that at this point all I could do was back the info on my phone and do a master factory reset of the whole phone. I told them I could not do it right then and there. They said if it still happens after the master factory reset then you will need to get the phone reflashed to have the software fully reinstalled and they could not do the reflash of the software since my phone was an at&t branded version of the note 4 so I would have to call at&t and see if they could reflash it for me. So the next day I backed up my phone using samsung smart switch software on my pc and master factory reset the phone from the recovery menu. When it was done I resetup the phone and it still froze and reboot randomly. So I called at&t and spoke to tech support and told them my problem and what tmobile say to do. They told me they could do the reflash but since I am no longer a customer they was nothing they could do for me. But I could go to best buy to a Samsung experience store and they could reflash my phone with for me with the latest software that at&t had out. So I went to the Samsung store inside of best buy. I told the lady my problem and what tmobile had me do and what at&t told me. She told me she could do the reflash but I already had the latest version of the at&t software on my phone all ready. I told her that tmobile told me the hardware in my phone is all good and that however I got the at&t update it did not apply correctly and that I need a reflash. She took my phone and started to plug in to her computer to do the reflash. After it was done she gave me my phone back. On the screen it was in recovery mode trying to reboot back to the phone screen. I showed the phone to the Samsung store lady and she told me I had to wait and it would reboot to the home screen. I thanked the lady for helping me out and left the best buy store. Got to my car and the phone now had a black screen so I took out the battery and put it back in and turned on the phone and it booted in to recovery mode not the home screen. From the recovery screen I picked reboot the phone and once again booted to recovery mode. So I walked back in to best buy and talked to the Samsung lady and was like this is very weird it should not be doing this. She also took out the battery and put it back a few times. Still phone was rebooting to recovery mode and not the home screen. So she called her tech support to figure out how she could fix my problem since now my phone was 100% not useable. The Samsung lady’s tech support had her plugin the phone to the computer again and reflash the software. But it failed at 3%. She was told to tried it again it failed at 20% this time. So she was told try it again and it failed this time at 50%. So she was told to try it one last time and this time it went all the way to 100% and she keep the phone connected to the pc until it was fully rebooted but again it rebooted to the recovery more screen not home screen. She told me that she would have to keep my phone and next day ask Samsung for the full flash of the software to download for my phone since she only had the latest update. So I left my phone with her and waited for her to call me and let me know that my phone was all good to go. I went back the second day after giving Samsung my phone and the lady told me that she did not run the full flash because she came in the first day after I give her my cell phone and it was at the home screen. I thanked the lady and left the best buy store. When I got home I download an app from the google play store and the phone rebooted on me. So the problem is still there! The phone so far has not frozen on me which I guess in grand scheme of things is good, but I am not calling this over just yet. So smarter people of xda Is there anything I can do to fix this phone so I can still use it and not have to worry about it or is it time to just bite the bullet and get a new phone even though there is nothing out that I like.
We're in the same boat
I am having the same exact issue. I just got my phone flashed at the Samsung experience kiosk at best buy only to use it and find out it still randomly slows down then crashes and restarts. It at times crashes as its restarting and continues a boot loop for a while. What can be done?
1.Battery is about to die or 2. Uninstall good luck
I'm having the same issue with my ATT Note 4 it started a couple weeks ago as well
Was in the same boat
Install a app called WakeLock from the play store. Use the level 4 option and yours troubles will be gone.
I had the same issue for 2 weeks and then came across this gem on one of the forums. Has not caused an issue for the last 2 weeks now.
Is that app wake lock powermanager be Darken? There are a few wakelock apps.
I'm in same boat as well. NOTE 4 worked great until a few weeks ago. Then MANY freezes, reboots, etc. I almost think aTT pushed something down intentionly (ita called planned obscellesence) to force an upgrade. Not reall5, but I do wonder .

Worked like a charm!
Edit. Worked for a while but apparently my battery was trash. New battery came yesterday and solved all issues i was having.
WOW! I was ready to throw my note 4 in the garbage because of all that crud! This app is AWESOME and did fix my issues. Thanks a ton for those that recommended it. My note 4 runs wonderful now, and probably will be PLENTY sufficient for me for another 2-3 years. Unfortunately, this issue has REALLY dampened my outlook on SAMSUNG and cell companies for that matter. It's in their best interest that people DO upgrade phones every 2 years or so.
Help please
Brother I have a problem, I upgrade my computer to Marshmallow 6.1.1, but to days if I used the camera, the phone was turned off and I had to remove the battery and by odin I downloaded it to version 5.1.1 but now I reboot Every time, it overheats, if I restart the phone does not turn on if I do not remove the battery the same I turn it off, try to install version 6.1.1 but do not leave the rescovery mode and install version 5.1.1 but with the Failures that I just comment.

battery issues
Just want to say was about to throw out my note 4 this week for the same issues. I installed the wake lock app (darken), have it set on 'partial wake lock' and AMAZING my phone seems to be operating normally! Thank you, and spread the word.
Wow! Thanks to all for the great tip. You saved my Note 4!
Since the latest OTA ROM upgrade from AT&T, (6.0.1, baseband N910AUCS2EAK5) my normally solid note 4 phone worked like garbage! It would slow way, way down, especially on a strenuous task, and quite often reboot spontaneously. It was so frustrating, I had to carry a second phone just to make sure I could be reached.
I did everything - wiped cache, factory reset and was just about to ODIN flash an earlier ROM when I can across this tip on XDA. This Wakelock app is phenomenal!
It seems as though Samsung / AT&T released the last patch with faulty power management. This app bypasses the whole issue by NOT allowing the phone to enter deep sleep. Problem Solved! Perhaps battery life takes a small hit, but who cares! We just have to hold on until the Note 8 arrives!

Totally donating to Darken (via play store) for saving my phone from the garbage, and saving me $500 to upgrade to a phone I don't want! Best $2.31 ever!
Still need the app
I just did the OTA upgrade from AT&T. I am now on baseband N910AUCS2EQD1 (6.0.1) I was hoping this upgrade would fix the problems, but it didn't. Still need the app!
my daughters note 4 has been randomly rebooting and sometimes when it reboots it sticks at the att symbol or it even goes to download mode? it started after att did a update . i told here to try the wakelock and let me know how it goes but has anyone had it reboot where it says could not reboot then has the android and do not shut off target?
Would anyone happen to know how well Wake Lock plays with Good Lock and/or power saving mode? My battery is ready to retire (seems to be at about half-capacity if that's the right terminology, new one on the way) and I've been having these freezes and reboots happen to me over the last few weeks; often at annoying inconvenient times.
My new battery should be here before this week ends, but I'm just looking for some insight for the few days in the interim. Thank you in advance for any responses.
...Noted (SM-N910A)
well tried wake lock and it seemed to help but did not fix the problem, phone was flawless and worked perfect before 6.01 . now reboots during call and downloading updates from playstore ect. sent it to samsung and they said it would be $70 to repair so i sent it in. they called and said the screen has ghosting and need a lcd, i think they broke it and didnt want to pay for it but they had it and i had to get it fixed. i now have it back with the newest att rom and updates with a new motherboard housing and screen for $185 but it works perfect like it did before with 5.0 so there is a hardware issue gong on with certain boards from what i have been reading in other forums its the early production ones. must be ram or internal sd who knows but whatever it is the marshmallow rom brings it out. did not want to spend the money but it was worth it. no lag and very snappy again and no reboots. i wish samsung would admit there is a issue with the note 4
