Hi All. I bought a g-tablet yesterday and have had problems right from the start. I have issues with crashes which take one of two forms:
1) The application I'm using (browser, game, weather, settings whatever) will randomly quit to the home page with no error message or popup. (i.e. not a force close)
2) The whole screen will freeze and the tablet ignores all button presses apart from the power button. If I press it once the tablet then reboots.
I've tried installing CWM, repartitioning as described in the sticky, wiping data, wiping cache, restoring to factory settings and installing Vegan tab. Before I take it back to the shop, can anyone think of anything else I can try?
Thanks
Use
When and where are you using your tablet? I was wondering if anyone else has had issues with static and the Dock port causing issues.... I was sitting on my couch one night watching a movie with a polar fleece blanket. I was moving to get into a comfortable position and I heard static sounds and my tab exited the video and froze. After reboot it was fine, but I was thinking this could be the same issue you are having??
Just used it in my hotel room so far, no chance of a static shock. It wouldn't even work long enough for me to type thus reply so think I'll take it back!
hmmm
Sounds like you have a bad unit.. let us know what happens.
Guys,
I have a very weird problem that started a couple of days back with my Galaxy Tab.
I was running a game (game name does not matter as the problem happens in all games) when all of a sudden the 'Pause' screen came into effect.
After hitting any key to continue it played for around a further 20 seconds then it happened again... and again... and so on.
Some games simply pause whilst others will flip back to the reload the game screen then flip to the press continue to play screen.
Whatever it is it only effects games.
I have tried several reboots and looked at all my recently installed/updated Applications but can not ascertain what is causing the issue.
Further, whilst browsing through my installed Apps using the App 'System Panel' (to see if I could locate the offending App) I also noticed when I scrolled down through my installed Apps every few seconds the list would jump back to the beginning of the list.
No matter how many times I scrolled down after a few seconds it repeatedly jumped back to the beginning.
After about a minute or so it stopped doing this.
It's almost as if something is paging the system every so many seconds ~ which may also explain why when playing games it drops the game into Pause mode.
Anyway, the Galaxy Tab is a stock Tab unaltered. It is not rooted nor had a ROM change.
At this stage I do not wish to update the ROM nor perform a factory reset.
As a surgeon you investigate the cause of the problem and not simply give the patient a tablet to mask the pain and send them on their way..... I wish to do the same with the Tab, find out what is causing the problem and not just do a system reset.
Any ideas ladies & gentlemen?
Same problem
I have the same problem on my stock ROM tab.
It's nerve wrecking to reinstall everything again.

As the OP that reported this I feel for you.
I have no idea what caused the problem nor do Samsung.
All I can say is I switched the phone off one night because it was playing up that bad and used my Galaxy S that evening.
The following morning I switched the phone back on again and mysteriously the problem simply vanished.
All I can think is whatever was causing the problem must have been memory resident.
Killing the phone for a long period must have cleared the issue.
I have not come back and reported it is fixed yet as I want to do further tests just to make sure it has gone but more importantly try to find out what caused it in the first place.
In a way although I do feel for you I also am pleased someone else has the problem.
This proves it is not a totally isolated case and may crop up again.
The tests I am currently trying are with the external SD card.
Do you have an external SD card and did/does the problem happen only with games installed to the card?
I have found that all but one of the games were installed in this way.
The one game not installed to SD that when run pauses behaves in a slightly different manner in that it does not pause every 20 seconds or so but every 1 minute or so.
I am beginning to think the problem may be something to do with timing, memory and the external SD card.
Hi guys,
I have this great phone for 3 days now and I have a big broblem. It's losing it's sound after some playing with apps and movies shot by camera. Movies would not play, just stay in black screen. At first I thought Talking Tom is causing this, because it was happening whenever i run it. Only full reboot was fixing the problem.Yesterday I did full factory reset with SD erase and set up my phone again with all e-mail accounts and apps, but NO TALKING TOM!
Today the problem appeared again after I was playing with camera and "Connected Media". No sound, movies do not play. On top of this I got a sudden phone restart !
I called HTC support, and after an hour explaining what my problem is they advised me to do a full reset again and NOT to install any apps from the market. I will use the phone for a day or two and see if it's app related issue....
Anyone having similar issues?
My HTC serial starts with HT15EV....
same problem
I'm having the same problem with my friend. bottom of the screen gets very hot. After 3 minutes the phone turns off the sound while playing the Tom Cat. turns off the phone during a conversation.
exactly! It's maybe app related...I'll report in a few days of testing...
After I've installed talking tomcat ( free version ) my sounds where gone.
After doing a factory reset everything went back to normal.
This has happened three times to me ..
Lost sound .. had to do a reset to fix the first and second time.
the third time .. i was able to fix it opening and closing / playing
with the sound Stuff..
Also Noticed the phone became un-responsive was very laggy.
This is a real problem ..
If it happens and you have all your stuff installed..
I am having the same problem with audio, sometimes I get it after playing angry birds, other times watching a video online. It has also made me late for work one day because I didn't realize the sound went out and never heard the alarm. I wonder if its a LOT of phones that have this problem.
The audio problems started happening to me too! The soound would cut out in the middle of watching a movie. Quite annoying,
So far I've only had audio problems whenever I launched the Talking Tom Cat, other apps I'm using aren't problematic.
I had sound go off during just normal use and very slow gps locks (10 minutes)
lost connection as well.
I don't have Tom cat installed but i put 4 films on my sensation and the sound will be ok for 1 and a half minutes but then it goes off u can skip to further in the film and it will work again for another minute and a half then go off again My alam has let me down a few times aswell . Not very happy
i am using TOM CAT on my sensation, but never faced such probl.
Serial starts wid - HT15ZV
For all those having these issues could you please post up the build dates ?

I have same problem, It happens when I use talking tom for the second time without restarting. Then I have to restart my phone. I am using stock ROM !!
I dont think it is related but all of a sudden my alarms on my phone (alarm clock) dont make any sound I just get the vibration..... yes the ring volume is all the way up, yes it is checked to make alarm sounds while in silent mode, yes I have tried diffrent ringers.... the only thing I didnt try was rebooting the phone.
no sound
i have no sound in any rom.. it's been this way for a while.. i can hear through the ear piece but thats it.. i can't hear with headphones either...
Did the OTA update for 5.0 lollipop yesterday. all the issues with the factory image flash have dissapeard. It all work great now, except one thing:
When my phone gets warm, the performance really goes down, except for some games. Animations get choppy etc. Remember , I said warm, not hot, and it occurred to me from just browsing facebook or chatting.
Any one ran into this problem aswell?
no one with the same problem? my friend seems to share the exact same issue
Kindda had the same issue after adb sideloading the OTA update to my N5. It was easily getting warm which caused constant lagging. Therefore it was closing my music player app while i was listening to music and surfing the web or FB, couldn't handle several apps at the same time and Google search app kept crashing from time to time. So i just went to the recovery mode and wiped cash. It took about 10 - 15 minutes, but when i turned the phone again everything worked fine. No lagging, no crashing. Everything is flying now, it's fast and smooth as never before. I don't now if it helps you, but i think you should give it a shot.
Define "warm".
Hey guys! For the past few weeks, there's a random clip of a song that will play on my phone, almost as if I have a notification. But, there won't be anything in the notification bar. Sometimes, I don't even have any apps open when this happens. The "song" sounds like something from an Indiana Jones movie. It's maybe about 10 seconds long, give or take. I've tried uninstalling apps that I've downloaded right before this started happening, but it still happens. I've also tried installing an anti-virus (AVG, Malwarebytes), as well as a notification logger (nothing out of the ordinary) and an app that forces a refresh similar to a restart (Fast Reboot). It's driving me up a wall, but resetting my phone to factory conditions is a lot of work, so I thought I would turn to you guys to see if anybody else has a similar thing happening to them. For what it's worth, I'm running the latest Android OS on the Pixel 2 XL. Thanks guys!
