S4 Mini LTE with Lineage keeps crashing after SMS

[cancunia]

I have the latest Lineage 14.1 on my S4 Mini all seems to be fine except that it crashes and then reboots from time to time. This seems to be happening after sending SMS messages, but not always. I did have this problem before with the stock OS, so probably not Lineage specific but as it's still happening, I'm guessing a setting somewhere that needs to be looked at?
Thanks

The LineageOS [st]advanced[/st] reboot menu on my S4 Mini doesn't work at all, a long press of the power button performs a soft reboot, rather than opening the options, when "advanced restart menu" is selected in Developer Options.
Also, selecting "kill app back button" long press option soft reboots the device when the foreground app is killed and I land on my home screen. Long pressing back while already on the home screen on its own also performs a soft reboot, btw. Rather than simply restarting the launcher.

Both options need to be unchecked for me and I now use different methods(3rd party apps) to achieve their results.

Maybe your issue is related? Try unchecking those two options and re-testing...

*Edit: Even without Advanced Restart Menu checked, my device only ever performs a soft reboot, regardless of which option, even Power Off, is chosen. Just tested.
I usually use NEO Power Menu for Xposed, anyway, but disabling these and retesting still produces only a soft reboot, for every option.

Thanks for those ideas, on my phone I have 'Advanced Restart' checked and it's working, or at least the option to boot into recovery does. The 'kill app back button' option was unchecked. I've changed my sms app to Signal to see if it makes any difference.
I did read somewhere else outside XDA about some call settings that could be changed, but I can't find that link any more.

* Update to clarify my above posts; I've resolved the Power Menu issues I was having on 14.1 to be related to Substratum Legacy System overlays. Uninstalling Substratum overlays on my device returns the full functionality of my reboot menu and Power button.
It does not, however, fix the long-press Back button to kill foreground app issue I mentioned. It still force-closes the System and performs a soft restart on my device, without overlays installed.

I've since went back to the I9195-LineageOS-15.1-experimental build by Arco, which by *far and large*, has simply the best battery life of any custom build I have used available here. The various missing features, in my case, can easily be overlooked, as most can be implemented via various 3rd party methods, and are definitely worth sacrificing in the meantime for such a battery life.
I've thought for months that my hardware has been on its last legs because of really over-excessive battery drain whilst using various different custom ROMs.
Resurrection Remix would be my OS of choice but I really can't justify using that fantastically feature-rich OS any longer on this handset, not after using the above LOS 15.1 build and remembering what it was like not to have to charge my battery every time I was near a power source. It's absolutely great!

* Sorry for the off-topic blurb, this was meant to be just a quick update about the overlays/Power Menu issue... :/
