Why does my phone freeze and reboot several times a day since the blueborne security patch?

It has been over a month I've been dealing with an unreliable phone. It constantly freezes and most of the time will reboot, sometimes like 2 or 3 times in a row. I have done the software repair assistant twice and still same thing.

Having a working phone is paramount MICNEW64. Having difficulties with your phone for over a month can certainly be frustrating. When did you start experiencing difficulties with your phone? Do you notice your phone freeze when performing certain functions on your phone or accessing certain applications? Has there been any recent changes made to your phone when you started to experience these difficulties?

Thank you,

The only change was when I got the blue borne virus patch. Other than that, it freezes and reboots when I try to click apps, when I don't do anything, and reboots at random times for no reason.

Oh goodness, that would definitely drive me crazy. Thanks for those additional details. Let's try this, can you please place your Note 4 in safe mode for about an hour by following the steps in this link: http://vz.to/2dNzPde? While the phone is in safe mode, do you still experience issues with the phone freezing or rebooting?

When you take an update over the air, it's very possible the new software loaded can cause flaky phone behavior, not because the software or hardware itself is defective, but because the new software is being loaded onto a phone that has had many customizations.

The very first thing you should try is what is called a System Cache Wipe.

Power down the phone.
Press Power, Volume Up and Home simultaneously
Wait until the phone vibrates and then release Power and Home
You should now see the recovery screen. Use the volume buttons to move up/down and select Wipe Cache Partition.
Press the Power button to confirm.
Select Reboot System Now and again, hit Power to confirm.
