Hi guys,
I have had my note 4 for about a year now and it has recently began to act funny. About a month ago it began to randomly freeze and slow down. Now it does it more often (about once an hour on average) and just this week it has been crashing randomly. Yesterday it crashed and went into recovery mode, displaying the android guy and "downloading, do not turn off target" with "could not perform regular boot" at the top of the screen among other text. It's done this twice now and the only way to get out of recovery mode is to pull the battery. It also will take a long time to boot up, or get stuck in a boot loop for 5 or so minutes.
I have done a factory reset and unmounted the SD card (someone suggested it may be corrupt and causing this). I've also cleared the cache partition to try to fix this, but while booting into recovery it said it was installing a system update for 15 minutes, then said something like "no target" (cant remember exactly) with a dead android guy. After clearing the cache partition, it got stuck in another boot loop and again randomly went into the recovery "download" mode. So far i have been able to get it to boot back up again after each crash, and i can't find a pattern as to when the phone freezes and crashes.
Im not sure what to do here. I thought it was a rogue app but the factory reset should have fixed that. Any ideas? Also, thanks for your time.
