I'm on the verge of buying a Nexus S but I am now reading about many freezing issues where the phone loses all responsiveness after the backlight goes out on occasion - the only solution being to pull the battery and reboot, only to have it happen again.
This thread shows that some people are returning their phones to Samsung and are seeing a fault diagnosis of 'bad BGA' and a fix of 'PBA replaced'
Original Problem:
Technical Inquiry
Phone Freezing / Locked U
Freeze/Delay Between Menu
Problem found:
BAD BGA COMPONENT
WARRANTY, REPLACE PART
Solution:
Replaced PBA
Passed All Functional Testing
Just how wide a problem is this, is it something that will affect pretty much everyone at some point or are these cases failry isolated?
edit: I am buying from someone who has this phone on contract so I am wondering also if I will be able to get support from Samsung should I run into this problem. Are warranty issues dealt with by Samsung direct or are they passed through the carrier when originally obtained on contract?
Any thoughts?
never experienced any of these problems. you have a 30 day return policy (maybe less now)

Unfortunately not, see my edit above.
Also, it seems users are running into this problem after owning the device for a while, taking them beyond their 28 day / 30 day return
i've had mine since it was first available and never had any problem like this.
I've also never seen this.

same. ive had it maybe like a 1.5 week after release date
It happens to me if i mess around with custom kernels and o/c speed but so far if i use netarchy's stable CFS, it'll be fine. No freezing and having to pull my batt.
It happens if i use hornity or some BFS kernels. Haven't tried Jame Bond yet to test it out.
i think the OP is confusing the SGS issues with SNS
the SNS doesn't have any of those problems listed.

the thread the OP linked is Nexus S
only time that has happened to me is when i overclock to 1.4 ghz and the phone can not handle it
Ok, it's encouraging that this isn't affecting everyone but still a bit worrying.

Wrong - as zephiK has pointed out, the link is to a whole load of people having issued with the Nexus S, NOT the Galaxy S.
I believe the most problems with smartphones are in software, not hardware. And software could/should be patched/updated.
and this is one of the reasons that preventing me from walking into cpw and buying it tomorrow.
I am Having this exact issue with my phone. it is unusable the phone freezes every 20 minutes. Hope Samsung finds a fix for this soon.
I just got my nexus s the other day but I haven't had any freezing either I hope those with the issue get it sorted out though
loading another ROM would help, or perhaps it might be a hardware issue, in which case, take it back for an exchange

Happens in stock rom, and many other custom roms too. So I dun think its the rom problem
oh dear, this is exactly what I'm concerned about. Any pattern as to which are affected by this, ie just slcd or just samoled? Only a thought.
I shall soon receive my second nexus s and I really don't want to have this problem!
I'm using the i9023 if that info helps.
Yes thanks but it's not what I wanted to hear as the chances are that this is the one I will receive.
I've heard of people reporting successfully fixing this with a full reflash, others say it's a hardware issue.
Keep us posted.
We are all excited to use the new G2X but it seems some of us ara having several issues with this phone.
I am creating this poll so we get a real world number on how many people are having issues so we can find out whether this is related to first batch of hardware or mere software issues.
Please pick your issue and vote...thanks.!!
If you have further comments, please post as well.
I've had mine since saturday around 11am eastern, got saturday delivery, one of the lucky few and have not noticed anything wrong with it. No bleed or reboots.
Only thing odd is when powering on the home screen will show about .1 second and then the lock screen but I think that happens on the O2x too..sorry to hear/see others having issues though.
I've tried to find fault with mine and just can't. I put a black wallpaper on it looked hard for the bleed nothing and the rebooting, i just haven't had any!
No issues here either, its working great for me
Sent from my LG-P999 using Tapatalk
I think mine is OK so far.
Mine has the issue where it won't unlock because the screen won't turn on
Great so far.. Only had it for 2 hours though.... Voted no issues... Keeping stock launcher only for a few days, just cause its so smooth....
Phones absolutely great, as long as it don't reboot I'm golden... Ill keep posted on any issues... Gps is fantastic vs my vibrant...
I either (hopefully) have a dud phone or there's something whacky software wise on my phone. I have a replacement coming in a few days so I'll see if that one still has the same issue or not.
I mentioned this on another thread, but I'll say it again here....I think you can multiply the "no issues" number by about 10 for 2 reasons:
1. People with no issues don't commonly open up "issues" threads.
2. People are reluctant to fill out a poll saying the have no issues because they realize they may have an issue later.
Heck, theres two people already above me that say they have no issues yet, but haven't entered it on the poll.
Side notes: Really, I would think almost everyone should have the reboot issue. It is a very very known issues that LG has already admitted to and started sending OTA fixes for. Also, "GPS issues" is very relative as it's being compared to however you previous phone or other GPS devices performed. Unless it's really malfunctioning (turning off for no reason or refusing to turn on) I wouldn't call it an "issue".

Anybody with NO issues running LauncherPro or ADW EX or some other launcher except the stock? I'm running out of ideas - now trying stock launcher and not LauncherPro. Have an exchange unit coming so if that one has issues there's a good chance it's software and not hardware - or I have horrible luck!
Got off the phone - replacement phone will be here tomorrow!
I've had the phone for 4 hours and I have had to pull the battery out twice to get it to turn back on, and I've had two instances where it just rebooted lol, Ive barely done anything with it but charge it.

Interesting. Well I'm on stock launcher now so here's hoping that's all it was. Would be too easy though so I doubt it
i have my phone sense yesturday... NEVER rebooted or locked once
i noticed some decent bleeding in the bottom corner AFTER the posts...
i love the phone thats my only problem
i have rooted my phone... and froze alot of the apps that tmobile put on it...
cant wait for some beastly kernel to walk into my path.... till then im gonna give it 4./5 (because of the bleeding)
Ton of bleeding at the top.. T-Mobile rep wouldn't let me exchange it. It was not deemed defective by her standards. I'm pissed. It also has a noticeable red tint.
No issues here so far, im stuck at work so I cant look into it at the moment.

My phone no longer reboots itself or freezes. It hasn't now for over a week but what tends to happen is after about 2 days of use it starts to lag and slow down like crazy. After I reboot it, its again super fast and smooth.
Its almost like there's a memory leak somewhere that is causing this and maybe certain apps cause it more than others? All I know is this has happened twice now and a reboot makes a huge difference.
Also and not sure if this is related but my GPS stops working until I reboot too. I think it's some app I have on the phone that's hitting a bug in the OS and causing this.
Maybe if it gets bad enough it causes reboots like people have been having?

funny, i just realized this tonight as well. I had some probs w/ tmo service and had to do a reboot after talking to customer service. Yesterday was my last reboot. It was flying afterwards. Very noticeable.

I had the same thing happen last night...GPS would not start no matter what I tried until I rebooted the phone then it worked fine. I agree, there certainly gremlins in this software.
Here's hoping something is coming soon (see my post about the new software update message!).
I wonder if the bug is affecting phones differently. My only problem is my dam wifi. Will not connect under any setting. When it does connect little to no data can be sent. Some else posted this also.

Agreed.. I've been following that thread.. The first clue was "some apps came up missing". Then a confirmation, and then another... and then I bookmarked the thread and decided to have some patience.
Yes good idea me too!. You'll also notice a bunch of people saying it made no difference. So not even worth the risk IMHO!
This just happened again to me. Did you have anything installed that checks location frequently? Shopkick maybe? Have you uninstalled any T-Mobile apps? I'm wondering what causes this since I don't remember having this problem before.

The only thing I'm aware of is Weatherbug, but it's been installed almost since I got the phone (I have it set to track my location).
Um...that patch doesn't patch any kernel files therefore it won't do anything about crashing.
Yeah I noticed this yesterday, navigation refused to start, and things were being klunky, a nice reboot fixed it up!
I notice after a few hours/days things like the add widget menu start lagging pretty bad.
All the more reason to hope hope hope for CM7 with the quickness.
Do you still have Telenav installed? I removed it so not sure if maybe somehow it's related.
I have Shopkick installed, Weatherbug Elite, Beautiful Widgets which I all believe use network location services although none use GPS except Shopkick.
My guess is that the network location API has a bug and crashes so that's why GPS stops working because when it stops working, the GPS can still be turned off and on and apps report it's on but they don't get any response.
I don't use GPS often enough to know how long I've been having this problem. Apart from this, the slowness over time is the main thing I've noticed.
I think weatherbug might be causing weird issues. Ever since I updated a few days ago, when I reboot my g2x and my nexus, I'll get a little box stating it cannot update my location. Altough it does update my location, lol! My GPS will still turn on though!

I have not rooted as I didn't want the restoration hassle if I decided not to stick with this phone so yes, I do still have Telenav installed. My Weatherbug (free version) does turn GPS on to follow me.
After last nights GPS failure to start, the phone gave me fits late morning/early afternoon. I had no bars with an "x" and yet had a data connection (without 2G or 4G shown) at very slow speeds. Rebooted several times and had other similar odd behaviors.
At this point, I am giving serious consideration to ditching the phone before my 20 day trial is up and holding out for the SGS2. My TW Bionix running Vibrant works flawlessly with the single exception of flaky GPS. The big problem with SGS2 is the 4.3" screen...I really don't want a phone bigger than this so perhaps the MT4G might be a better choice.
Decisions...decisions...
OK, now the re-boots are starting. My GPS once again failed to start tonight so I tried to toggle it and it wouldn't turn off/on. I also normally leave bluetooth on all the time and I tried turning it off as well and it wouldn't turn off. It finally did turn off and when trying to turn GPS and bluetooth back on the phone slowed WAY down then re-booted.
I cant believe I went through 6 devices.
The first 4 had the same problem. Old text messages would send themselves to the last 2 people I texted, at random. 4 in the afternoon or 3 in the morning. I was annoying my friends all the time. 5th device came with damage (stuck power button would turn the phone off by itself)
Last device, the one im using now is stuck in landscape for no apparent reason. Dock mode is on and I cant turn it off. Something is making my phone think its on. Called AT&T, complained, told them about how many devices ive been through. Initially got denied, asked to speak to a manager. Got denied again, they offered a year-early upgrade for no charge, but I denied that. After about 30 minutes of back and forth, they decied to send me a blue GS3 that should be here this week
The phone has been good to me when it worked, but Im tired of getting replacements.
Lol, I bet you have problems with the gs3 too.

Aside from the stuck power button (which is just a hardware problem)... maybe it's a bugged program (or virus attachment) that you keep installing on your new devices? What happens if you DON'T install your usual programs on your latest device? Try it out for a week, and then you can start to pinpoint the rogue application. Don't use your phone to connect to any email either, and then you can narrow down if it's an application or data problem.

Exactly. The problem the first four "phones" had was almost undoubtedly NOT a hardware problem, and I'm amazed and dismayed that you got them to replace your phone (dismayed because that cost gets passed on to everyone else, AND the more people do this the less likely people with legitimate problems are going to get their problems addressed... boy cries wolf syndrome, if you will)
When my GS II was randomly shutting down they made me try a phone with NO apps installed other than what came pre-installed, for a week to eliminate app issues. And because I was desperate, I did.
I have had the text issue when texting people on T-Mobile. Only certain people on T-Mobile. Theirs would come to me several times, or mine would go to them duplicated or delayed and they would get like 5 at once. Never did figure out the cause, it just stopped on its own. This was a few years ago, though. In this case I would expect some app on your phone. The XDA does this thing that if I post an image on the forum, like an hour later I get a toast that my reply was successful, and find it duplicated my post.

I'm currently on my 4th One X replacement device. The first three replacements and the original had screen flex issues along the side, and in the middle. One of the replacements had a faulty power button. They offered a make/model change for free, and that meant instead of continually sending the White One X, they sent the Grey. It was either that, or DOWNGRADE to a cheaper phone.
Needless to say... The 4th one still has these issues. But I'm tired of dealing with AT&T because it really hasn't been resolved. I could keep complaining, and eventually if it gets worse I will.

My first HOXL had the same screen problem. Went to one att store, explained the problem and they turned me away. Went to another store nearby, explained the problem, and they went into the back and got me a brand new one no questions asked. Just try different stores, maybe you'll get lucky like me.

or, if you only want to hit one place, google the nearest att Device Support Center. if it isn't too far of a drive, i can't imagine they'll ever turn anyone away. their primary function is to fix or replace your phone (if it's within the 1 yr mfr warranty). no receipt needed... they'll bring up your account. (don't give them a device that's been visibly tampered -- revert back to stock, etc)

You can't exchange for a new phone in-store beyond the first 30 days. After that, you go through warranty and its all refurbs. As previously mentioned, you can go to that a Device Support Center, but they will still be refurbs, but at least you can test them out before leaving the place.
Multiple defective refurbs are common, and even the same issue. But the 4 in a row with the exact same text issue is odd, if not suspicious. Are you migrating any backed up data like SMS? Might even be a network related problem.
Ironic user name is ironic.

The problem is in the touchscreen firmware and the fix have to be released from synaptics and not frome Oneplus.
The fact is that it may take a few or a long time based on the issue and it may be enven never be fixed, who knows.
As now i am really disappointed. They should have never release da device knowing of such a major bug.

No, nothing related to the charger tho haha. the problem started as soon as i turn on the phone for the first time and it went crazy like that since then. i flashed almost every rom on here still no good. i flashed fusionjack slimsaber rom earlier and it really improved alot . you might want to check that rom out.i'm gonna stick w/ slimsaber for a while now i guess

Thx for the advice. For me the issue seems to be solved randomly when I restored the 33R in Twrp. However some other problems remain: like not getting back to the mobile Internet after leaving the wifi area or loseing the network at all ( curable by switching on and off the airplane mode or rebooting respectively).
My phone is cursed really xD

I'm not sure if this is the same issue, but when you run a touch screen test, does it work with more than one touch? IE is multitouch working? I had an issue the other day and I resolved it by turning off the phone, attaching it to the charger and then turning it back on (read it on the oneplus forum). It is a known issue and they are working on bringing us the fix.
Hope this is helpful.
I have this issue too, although it's been mitigated somewhat by the most recent software patches they pushed in 30O and 33R. I'm on a CM nightly at the moment and it's certainly usable. I made the issue a lot better by disabling haptic feedback in the SwiftKey settings - it almost feels like that extra effort to run the vibrating motor causes the screen to respond badly or something.
Is it doing this?
http://youtu.be/XsGPsDP4V0U
If so this is what mine is doing and it's soooo annoying trying to type.
http://www.androidheadlines.com/201...ti-touch-issues-oneplus-one-fix-incoming.html
Some-not me, have been able to mitigate the problem by running a code through terminal emulator.
This has been brought up in CM bug log as Bacon 55.
You don't have to be rooted to do this.
Type: su (if you're rooted)
Type: cat /sys/class/input/input0/baseline_test
Press enter.
Note that you will need to do this every time you reboot your phone.
Credits to a member on jira cm. Forgot to name! Hope it works for you
I've tried everything and everything failed.
Let's hope synaptics pushes out a fix soon. I can't stand this issue. Basically two different touches near each other are recognized as a swype -_-'
i did a test using multitouch test app. i use 1 finger touch on the phone and got a red dot, finger #2 gave me a blue dot . as soon as my 2 fingers get close together 1 of the dot disappear, also test w/ 4 5 fingers same result .thats why if you text really fast , you get alot of missing words and sometime it lag and get stuck.
I think that until this gets fixed the phone will be not ready to be sold,too...

Is this phone worth purchasing since customer service is not readily available. I'm not sure if I want to spend my money and not be able to get quality customer service. What are your thoughts?

As long as the touchscreen issue is not fixed the phone has to be considered to be bugged and faulty. I would not spend my money on a defective phone at a very few weeks from N6 release that will be a superior terminal by far.
Even if it gets fixed it will be not worthy the same as N& is near to come anyways.
I wish i didn't buy mine.

Thanks, I started becoming more concerned because users have been paying long wait times for service and possibly having to ship back to China at the customers cost. That's a bad deal.

Definitely. I would stay away from this thing.
And by the way who knows if the ghost touches/swypes problem is not even a software issue just as the multitouch not working when placing the phone on a non-conductive surface...
