Random Screen Freezing Post 6.0 Update - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6

I received my 6.0.1 update via at&t a few days ago and have been loving it so far. However, I have run into an issue today. My screen in randomly unresponsive. It is lit up, but it does not respond to touch. If I press the power button to put the screen to sleep and then wake it back up again it works, but that's sort of inconvenient.
Has anyone else experienced this issue? If so, how did you fix it. I've wiped the system cache already and that didn't fix the problem.
I've also installed Good Lock, if that is of any importance.
This phone is fully stock and has not been modified in any way.
I appreciate the help in advance!!!

If you already wiped cache and the problem persists, then my friend a Factory Data Reset is the step to take. My Galaxy S6 running at AT&T received the Platform upgrade a few days ago and before doing the Factory Reset I install Good Lock just to see what's going on. I was pretty lost with it so uninstall. After the upgrade I never experienced an unresponsive screen.

Wiping Cache is not bad. It is when you have to resort to wiping data that means a lot of work.

I just wiped everything and only downloaded my most used apps. Seems to be working now. Time to re-download Good Lock and see what happens!

[Q] Can't receive calls?

Hi, I just installed the Andromeda ROM on my Captivate, and quickly realized that i can't receive any calls. I can, however, make calls. If there's a quick fix for this, that would be great, if not, I guess I'll have to flash back to another ROM... Thanks.
Not a rom issue cause I have been running andromeda for three dates with no such issue.
first have you asked this on the rom thread?
Have you tried going into airplane mode then back?
Reboot?
Different modern?

I keep getting the force close vibration pattern, and it says phone keeps getting force closed. What can I do?
Go into recovery, clear davlik cache under advanced options, reflash rom.
Did you restore things with titanium backup, and if so did you restore any system data
Just curious why you would suggest clearing cache then reflash rom when the script is going to wipe it anyway?

I am experiencing the same issue, and I didn't quite understand this last post. Did you just reflash and not recover your system data as others recommended? Or is there something else you did to correct the problem?
Thanks for the help.

You're going to have to reflash, like they said. I did this the first time I flashed a ROM and though "Oh great.. I knew I shouldn't have flashed from stock...", but I just reflashed and didn't restore system data, and all has been working great since then.
Fixed
That fixed it. Reflashed Andromeda and restored only apps with Titanium Backup, not system data. Everything seems to be working great now.
Thanks.

[Q] All of a sudden random apps force closing for no apparent reason [i9000]

Hey,
this problem started only today and has never happened before. The only things changing were some app updates and a few new installs. I already uninstalled all of the apps installed in the last few days in hopes of reverting the situation but it didn't help. And after I made the first reboot when the apps began to force close randomly it looked like a semi factory reset was made. All my contacts are gone, there are no SMS/call logs, but all SMSes, pictures and videos are still there. If I try to open the Market app it asks me if I accept TOS, Gmail is not set, mobile internet is not working (due to reset settings), Wi-Fi and bluetooth settings are still there. In short, everything is half-fuc*ed.
What do you thing happened? And is there any possibility I can go back to a normal state without starting from fresh?

Go into Recovery and Fix Permissions, then reboot and see if that has fixed the problem.

Oh yeah, and another thing. Market, Youtube and Maps apps where all a few version lower than before and started updating immediately after opening the Market app. Market still is (even the old design and everything). How can this be?

i9000 random loss of data
Yes, this is a rather old thread I'm trying to revive here, but as it is adviced to continue those instread of duplicating them, here are my issues:
I gave my i9000 to a relative ~a year ago and recently it started acting strange. About 1-2 times a month I get a call from that relative saying: "I get a lot of force closes, phone is unusable, nothing works". I then walk over, take a look and yes, unusable. It appears that all information in the /system partition gets lost for no reason. The relative told me that this usually happens when some google apps are updating, but it might still be random.
Currently MackayRom (latest) is installed.
Usually when I got the call, I hopped over to my relative, did a factory reset (wipe of /system and /data + Cache and Dalvik Cache) then reflashed the ROM and Gapps and everything looked good again. Sadly the issue continues to return.
What I tried so far is a complete wipe of anything, reverting to a stock TW Rom, and going back to an AOSP Rom from there (first CM 11, then Mackay). The issue appeard to be gone afterwards, I didn't hear from that relative for an unusual amount of time, but after a month or 1 1/2, it returned.
My guess is, that one of the chips that are containing the /system partition is broken or at least close to die (I'm not sure if it is just one or multiple chips, since the CM Team or Pawit himself changed something in the partition structure somewhere between cm10, cm10.1 and cm11 to ensure the compatibility of that old device with KitKat). Anyways, I'd love to hear any ideas or suggestions on how to solve this issue (although I reached a point where I think that solving this isn't possible anymore, unless I wanna swap the Mainboard, which would mean paying an amount of money that I could get a new phone for as well.) Soon as I have the time, I'll Odin-flash the latest TW Rom to the device and have my relative use that for a while, just to see if the different/older partition structure helps in any way.
Thanks in advance for any replies .

[Q] Sprint galaxy tab SPH-P100 resets on reboot

Hi Guys,
I have a strange problem with my galaxy tab. I bought it from ebay.
The guy from whom i bought it seems to have installed z4mod. Which ever application I tap force closes and a very few applications work like settings, music, browser. Any new app i install ends up force closing.
The strange thing is that whatever app i install vanishes on reboot. It is not a factory reset though, the apps installed by the previous guy will still be there. Factory reset doesn't work either.
I have tried using super one click and it hangs. Odin doesn't detect the tab in recovery mode.
andriod version is 2.3.4.
Any help is welcome..
Cheers.
I just started a thread about some issues my Tab is having too. Same model too.
I'm also getting resets on reboot. I'm going to hit sprint tonight on the way home, this ones not rooted. I'll let you know what I figure out with this one. Might help, might not.
I tried to factory reset the thing with Samsungs own app, didnt work, made the FC's worse.

Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone found a solution yet.
I just bought a refurbished Samsung Galaxy Tab P100 from ebay. Every time I reboot, it resets the Tab and is as if I never entered my Google account credentials. It also erases any apps I've downloaded and deletes wifi settings.
A factory reset did not help.
The screen where you do the factory reset says:
Android system recovery <3e>
Samsung Recovery Utils
- for BML -
Does anyone know if this is the original or rooted?
I hope someone has a solution because I want it keep it!
Thanks!

That's stock Samsung recovery
If a factory reset doesn't fix the issue, then the device likely has a defective internal storage chip. Return it.

"DITTO" for which problem?
for the problem on the OP, I think the problem above has to do with conflicting google account settings from the old owner to the new one.
If this is true,
Factory reset, and enter new google account on the tab. start google play, let it update itself and download an app to test. it with.
This should fix force closes. DO NOT use any google settings from titanium backup.

SGN rebooting HELP!!

Hi Everyone.
Following on from my question this morning asking this question I have more time to be specific.
My note is unrooted and I downloaded to ICS 11.06.12 using Kies. Everything seemed to be going well except for the fact the phone just keeps switching itself on and off. For example; the screen is off, I want to check the time or date, by pressing the home button the screen switches on, all fine there, but then 7 out of ten times the phone then reboots. It has done this during calls, using apps and playing games when my son uses it.
Does anyone else have this issue or better still anyone have an idea why it does it?
Many thanks

He says he's not rooted so there's no option to clean dalvik.
Also wiping cache under ics can trigger superbrick. Either install Speedmod kernel and wipe dalvik and cache, or downgrade to gb, perform full wipe of all, the upgrade again.

Since two days even i have the similar problem. When in need to check the time and press the home buttom i find its been switched off and again i need to reboot it. Even my note is unrooted. Any fix for this?

do not use recovery unless you are on safe kernel. All ics stock kernels are unsafe. Downgrade to gb rom or install a safe kernel than do wipe/factory reset. All the instructions are present in this forum read carefully.

My device is restarting like crazy

Guys, I'm having a problem which is driving me crazy!! It keeps restarting by itself.
The device has been bought from the store (not second-hand or something) and since then, I had no problems with it. I've dropped it two times on the floor, but after that was working fine, no problems.
From the beginning I've rooted and installed ARHD on it (now I have 41.0), and from about 2 weeks (the last drop on the floor was about 1-2 months ago) it keeps restarting. The phone freeze suddenly and then restarts. I thought that maybe is something regarding an application, but no, 'cause rarely during restart (when the One logo appears) it restarts again - again, rarely this scenario happens.
There is any chance to try something and see if is working, or normally I should take it back to the store (I don't think that they will receive it, since it has some traces from dropping)?

that's good, but did you restore anything with Titanium backup or any other backup software? this can cause a lot of problems when moving from 4.3 to 4.4

I've tried that, yes. I don't remember exactly, but this was happening also on 30.x, reason for which I've decided to do the update, in order to see if the problem persist.

Yes, I've restored some things from titanium; but, before, on 30.x was working fine and suddenly began to restart by itself - that's why I don't see the point about restoring from backup, since the restart issue began before updating to new ROM version.

the point is you moved the problem from 30.x to 40.x with the backup
Do a complete Wipe and clean install and see if your problem goes away
complete wipe includes factory reset + /cache /delvik
Ideally I would RUU back to stock and see if my phone is really broken or not

aha..could be this too, right . So, your advice is to make a clean installation (factory reset) and let it that way for several days with basic apps, to see the behavior?
