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?

I tried safemode and it still randomly reboots
I do appreciate all that you have done Micnew64. Has the device experienced any physical or moisture damage? Are the buttons and touch screen responsive? Can you please do a device health check and see if you get any red alerts or yellow explanation marks?

I did the device check and a few things flagged but nothing major and only one app was untrusted but I've been using it for nearly ten years.
No moisture, no damage, no new apps, it was immediately and consistently after the blue born patch update!
MICNEW64, part of enjoying your services with us is by having a properly working device. I've sent you a PM so that we can look into this matter more closely. I look forward to hearing from you.

If anyone else has this problem please post. Customer service basically said [removed] happens. Apparently sometimes updates mess up a phone for two months or something. its probably been close to two months and some days are better than others but my phone is still unreliable. I think I'm just learning to deal with it but eventually i will have to get a new one and its probably not going to be a samsung.

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.
thanks for the help but I tried wiping the cache a couple of times with no luck.
Not the Application Cache Clear - but the System Cache Wipe (which can only be done from the Recovery/Boot menu?
If you've done a System Cache Wipe and you still have flaky behavior, you must backup your important content, and perform a Factory Device Reset (FDR).
I've done that too a few times, runs good about 18 hours and then starts the same stuff.
Interesting, so after taking the patch AND performing a FDR, the phone is rebooting?
And if you put your phone into SAFE mode for a day, does it reboot at all?
If it does not, it's probably an application that you keep loading, and/or the amount of data associated with it.
If it is rebooting in SAFE mode where it didn't before, go to Samsung Customer Support and ask for a patch to the patch I guess.
