Anyone Own a Note 4 that Doesn't Crash/Reboot?

[LowIQ]

I have run into a few GN4 owners this past year of which ALL OF THEM have Crash/Reboot issues
In most use the Wakelock/CPU Lock app to counter the problem.
But so far have not met one person free of these problems after Marshmellow Update.
Before the Update, the GN4 was a Dream Device to behold!
I've done everything a person could do under the dire circumstances,
Emailed, Phone Called Samsung/T-Mobile, Wrote in various Forums to complain,
I did it all except get a different smartphone in which I do not want to do considering
How NEW this phone is?
I wish I had left Jellybean on my Note4!
But that isn't the fault of the vast Samsung Customers who Updated?
I didn't get the Note5 because was not worth the money versus Note4,
I refrained from getting the Note7 for same reasons and Glad I did!

The new Samsung Galaxy S8+ is an okay device with new technology I like!
But not enough to throw my Note4 into the waste bin?
I holding out for the Note8
I hope I'm mildly surprised at that point.
I'm so dependent on the S-Pen that will be difficult for me to switch to another type of smartphone?
I don't know if there are any Note4 owners that don't have the Crash/Reboot issue?
But if there are?
Would like to hear specifics about how their GN4 is setup.
Maybe another look at this might find a solution?

Replace with a new battery all will be good. Mine ( both batteries) seem to have some​ kind of memory and once they went below 70% it would freeze and reboot. Since I purchased a new battery all problems seem to disappear.

lol jellybean!? I'm on nougat. don't really have those issues, except for an occasional buggy rom build. using anker batteries, which have worked really well for me.

My GN4 would periodically restart (1-2 times a day) for no apparent reason after I updated to Marshmallow. After I completely wiped my SD card the random reboots went away. I'll get 1-2 a month now max.

I've done all the New Battery replacements, did the Hard Reset reinstalations.
I'm on my THIRD NOTE4 Insurance replacements!
I have Three New Batteries for which the only viable fix is Wakelock/CPU Keep Awake!
If I deactivate the CPU Keep Awake?
Crash/Reboot begins again.
If I use Camera more than three pictures will freeze or Reboot
I even tried Stock Factory apps with no additional apps
Other than CPU Awake

 

[LowIQ]

Yes!, Jellybean for the fact no Crash/Rebooting was found
What good is Marshmellow if it constantly Crashes/Reboots?

 

[LowIQ]

Also wiped SD card in fact had a spare New Card in which made no difference.
just for ****s/Giggles ran without an SD card.
Same problems persisted.

 

[LowIQ]

I've come to the conclusion this is 100% Firmware issue.
I've been to multiple GN4 forums reading/posting same complaints.
No permenant solutions found.

 

[ChetManley762]

If you tried all that and the phone is still not working I think you're right.

 

[LowIQ]

All the people I have met with GN4's are with same Crash/Reboot circumstances.
I wish I had met one who didn't?
It might have given me confidence for a solution to be found?
If you happen to be lucky GN4 doesn't have these issues?
It just might be a factor in Luck?
In I don't believe in Luck?
But don't have anything else to fall back on?

I rarely have this problem. I restart every morning and then again in the afternoon if performance starts degrading. My opinion is that it's past time to upgrade. I was about to grab a N7, but we all know that story. I'm hoping to keep my N4 going until the N8 is available.

Then you've met one.

Right here. I HAVE had an app crash (Firefox), but not the entire phone into a re-start or lock up.

Software version: N910PVPS4DPK1
Hardware Version: N910P.05
Android 6.0.1
Kernel: 3.10.40-9120850
Build: MMB29M

Kernel is dated Nov. 2. I DO, however, have a security update that I refuse to install, because it works that well. But the phone isn't flawless. I bought it on launch day (Oct. 2014), and it's been great, but after over 2 years, my screen is starting to "burn in". At the top.

Never had an issue with mine and got it new.

No problems with my wife's Note 4 either.

Sorry to hear about your issues. My stock Marshmallow Sprint GN4 is running just fine. Every now and then a monthly firmware update creates an issue (overheating) but a battery pull and wipe partition cache solves it. I do have the odd wifi drop to LTE and it is sometimes slow to connect to Bluetooth but I am very happy overall. Out of habit I do the periodic factory reset to be safe and it helps clean the junk out of my phone and forces me to clean up my apps. As long as I get the security updates, I am keeping my replaceable battery, IR remote capable GN4. I hate the iPhoned sealed battery forced obsolecence money making feature of the new Samsungs....

I have version N910TUV2EQC1 T-Moble USA
March 1, 2017
Problem started with Android 6

 

[LowIQ]

Same here am waiting for Note 8
It's just a shame for Note 4 isn't the problem?
It's the upgrade.
Otherwise, could make a case to keep it for replaceable battery.
I have three batteries after all?

 

[LowIQ]

I may try to flash a Custom ROM?
I just don't want to lose features in which usually happens with custom ROM's?
I also don't need a sealed phone like iPhone?
What's the point as many users use cases? I do as well.
My phone works great until it goes thru Crash/Reboot?
Other than that don't have any complaints.
Maybe a ROM flash might make it worthwhile if Note 8 doesn't warrant the added expense for a mediocre list of features.
Note 7 didn't have the IR remote in which I use on occasion.
Not a deal breaker if it doesn't? But hate when less doesn't justify added expense?
6 gigs of memory might make me forget?

ATT Note 4, stock, 6.0.1 (SPL 8/1/'16). Original battery. I rarely have to restart the device.
At this time, I have not tried to install an SD card.
This is a spare device I bought a few months ago. The story was that it was 1 1/2 yrs old, and spent one year on the shelf.
It spends most of its time at home as a couch pet now.
I have no crashing or rebooting.

Note 4 for 18 months. Original battery, new sd card, all the updates, no crashes, no reboots.
Now I've jinxed it.
