There's definitely a major bug somewhere in OS

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.

This patch addresses that issue. I experienced the same thing but when I did this I no longer get it. Hope it helps!

Bunch of people are now posting that they see issues after patching so I'm not sure I'm willing to try that yet.

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.

[Q] Brightness Reduced due to overheating!!!

I am very desperate here in regards to one issue that I have. My phone keeps reducing the brightness on the screen due to overheating. My phone is not even hot. The problem is that I can't even go back to full brightness. I have to wait for a while to do that. But then, I work a little with the phone and BAM does it again. Are you guys having the same issue that I am having?. I have the phone to maximum brightness with auto brightness off. I asked on different forums and no answer as of yet. I already exchanged the phone and I am still having the same issues with my second phone.

Replied as well in the other post.
Are you running widgetlocker? That seems to overheat the phones by running the cpu into the ground

No sir. Not running widgetlocked. Funny thing i just watched an entire movie that i purchased through the media hub and the brightness was never an issue. But here I am surfing and checking youtube clips and it happended again.

My god. It keeps doing it. I cant believe nobody has the same issue I have. 2nd phone and as soon as Frys has more in stock I will be getting my third. I love this phone and I will not give up until I have a working one. But if anyone knows of how to fix this issue please let me know. Thank you so much.

I had the same problem. Backed up all my data and did a factory reset. I'm not sure what app it was but I've heard widgetsoid & widget locker are the ones that cause the processor to constantly run at full power making the phone overheat. After my restore my phone was back to normal.

Well i just finished with the factory reset and as soon as I was setting my market account and downloading apps it did again for a few seconds maybe 5 sec. and then everything went back to normal. I am going to keep working on it and hopefully the issue will be fix. But the fact that it did it while downloading my fist app after a factory reset makes me wonder. But thanks man for answer me. Thank you. I will keep you guys posted.

Don't restore any apps yet or downliad anything. Just use it regular stock for a few hours and see if it heats up. If not its a buggy app using all of your resources.

I only have this happen while having my infuse mounted on the dash while driving. it happens when the phone is charging, screen cranked up all the way, using google navigation turn by turn, has bluetooth on, and is streaming music from google music. Haven't had it happen during normal use at home. The phone mounted on the dash doesn't help with the heat since it's being hit by such strong heat from the sun. I'm also using the barely there case by case mate and it is always pretty cool to the touch with brightness all the way up and wifi on. Don't know If that helps. I'm loving my phone though.

Man, this is crazy. Still haven't fix the issue with the brightness and now I have an issues with flash content on my browser. For flash the video plays fine but the sound is playing like in slow motion. Uninstall flash and reinstall flash and still have the same issues. I starting to think that I have a lemon for a phone. 5 days and still Fry's has the phone out of stock. I need the return it for a third and hopefully last time. Oh by the way, I still have issues with the brightness.

Same issues on my phone, maybe it happens to all of them..

Does your camera freeze up?

i need to know if this a hardware issue or software. every 2 days or so my camera wont start . i close everything running and it just freezes up on me. i have nothing crazy installed jsut root, tibu, chase, android game, flashlight. thats it ! i will click the camera icon ill see the screen shake for a second and just go back to home screenl. also sometimes i click the multi task button and clear everything out when i press home it has to load all my widgets again.. this phone is werid...
i bought it online at radioshak for 50 bucks do you guys think i can get a new one in store or do they deal with online only

I had this happen to me twice in a week of use. I'm wondering if another app is not releasing the camera from it's use. I haven't been killing the camera app after use, so maybe it has an issue being open for long.
Other apps that use the camera I may have had open are Instagram, Facebook, Gallery.

same. its either gallery or instagram, hmmm

i had this issue since i bought the phone. never figured it out. a couple of days ago, the camera just stopped working altogether. it won't start most of the time. when it does start, the image is dark and very distorted. i tried to upgrade from 1.73 to 1.85 and didnt solve the issue. i did a factory reset and it didn't solve the issue. so earlier today, i ended up just exchanging it with a new phone.

Happening to me as we speak!
Made a quick, nasally sounding video.

- Instagram is still able to use the camera.
- If I close them all in multitasking, it doesn't fix it.
- Force stopping Instagram and/or the Camera app doesn't solve it, I have to reboot the phone.
EDIT:
Fast boot is off on my device.

damn so you think it is hardware related ? i bought the phone may 9th it arrived to my house , am i still under warrenty or what is radioshak 30 days hmm

Happens to mine too, about 4 times already. Have to restart the phone to get it to work again. Had the phone for about a month. If the update fixes this and other problems this phone will be perfect.

Try a factory reset. If this doesn't solve the issue, I'd take it back. I've never had any such issues on 1.73, 1.82 or 1.85. I'm inclined to think its either a software issue (like an installed app interfering, as one reply suggested) that a factory reset may clear up, or its a hardware issue.

well, i won't say that your problem was the same as mine but i think mine was definitely a hardware problem. i experienced the problem on 1.73 and 1.85, rooted and unrooted, locked and unlocked, and even after a factory reset. luckily the camera just complete crapped out before my 30-day was up so it was easy to justify the exchange at the at&t store.

Video exactly depicts what happens to me. I will try to open the camera app and it just flashes and kicks me out. I've tried all sorts of things to alleviate the problem but the only solution I've found is restarting the phone. Pretty annoying....
The display HOX at the AT&T store had the same issue. I'm assuming this is software related but who knows

this happened the first week I had the phone. When I updated it to 1.82 the issue went away so I'm assuming it was software

Well if it was a software issue, factory reset is worth a try. However if its something that needs to be fixed in a future update (a bug) then going back to factory shouldn't help. And thats why the OP had another thread about how to update.
Crizthakidd, have you tried other camera apps from google play? I know you said you were going to. How did that go, if you did? Obviously if there's a software issue, even if factory reset doesn't fix it, xda can. That is, root, unlock, install a newer custom rom.

I had this problem on 1.72, and other apps were still ok using the camera. I made a quick video of it happening.

Screen Will NOT Time out

I just noticed this today, my screen is not timing out. I set it for 15sec and it is still lit up an hour later without touching it.
I rebooted it, seemed to work for a little while then it will go back to the same problem.
I'm rooted (of course) but running stock ICS with frozen bloatware.
Anybody experiencing the same issues? I don't mind rebooting, just that if I'm not paying attention my battery will die faster than it already is.

I would try running Fix Permissions from within Rom Manager. If that doesn't work I would think that perhaps you have frozen something that doesn't seem related but may be spidered into your screenlock someone. Last but not least, there's the dreaded factory reset, but that shouldn't be too bad between TiBu and Google backup sync.

mm-qcamera-daemon

I am running a stock Nexus 5 with 4.4.2. and mm-qcamera-daemon has been significantly lowering my battery life and I do not know which app is causing it. Does anyone know where this originated from or what it is?

it comes from the camera, when you take hdr+ photos.

Are you using any battery saving apps? If so, get rid of them.

I'm having this problem too. I don't have snapchat or any of the other applications that have been claimed to cause it.
I haven't installed any new camera using apps so it's probably due to some update. Stock rom, was happening on stock kernel, is still happening on linaro.

I'm not sure if this helps or relates to your situation but I had that problem about a month after installing jishnu's camera...kinda came out of nowhere one day. I deleted the app/ mod, rebooted and reinstalled it and haven't had the problem since.

this is a nightmare, as it is unpredictable, with no solution, and not addressed by google.. Even after a factory reset, it ends up coming back.

I got this 2 days ago, first time ever. And I have been using my camera consistently.
First when I start my camera, I get Unable to connect to camera, so I rebooted, and camera works again, but at the end of the day, I saw the high memory usage. I rebooted the phone again yesterday and it seems fine again. Buggy...
And this process have no "Report" button like Google Search or Google Maps have, so I have no way of reporting this issue to Google.

One of the culprit is Yahoo! Messenger's voice/video plugin... Or any other apps that will use the camera..
If you were trying to upload a picture but failed in the mid way... this might occured as the app will always trying to upload the pic eventhough it got failed..

Per my similar topic here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2564457 the culprit for me seems to be an update to Skype pushed out a few days ago.

hmm, now you mentioned it, I did install skype on my phone a while ago.
Let me uninstall it!

Since I removed Skype I've had zero more black screens; I'm pretty confident that this is the cause for me.

Negative Guys....
I'm sure that is not third party apps that is causing that drainage,
Why in the world suddenly all people are experiencing this batt drainage with many different apps and blaming them?
I have the problem with weather channel and the mm-qcamera-daemon, others with skype, others with yahoo messenger and so on, this problem suddenly?
I believe that google is working on that problem but not saying anything about it.
Please read all these reports in these 2 links and after that tell me that I'm wrong.

I know that some people just uninstall an application and then it works again as before, but later on the problem shall arise in a few days or something, I've read this. Let me uninstall it and let you know, maybe it was an update that caused the problem but I got The Weather Channel that said it was something similar to mm-qcamera.daemon and I uninstalled it and the same problem, I deleted the cache and davlik cache as well and it did not work, I have rebooted several times and it seems that I have to do a nandroid restore and see what happens after that.

I am not actually blaming them, just want to find out HOW to make sure this doesn't happen to me. If it involves uninstalling Skype, then let it be.
This is definitely a OS process, its whether there's a bug in the OS, that was triggered by Skype, OR its that Skype is not using the API correctly, either way, the "solution" for now is just to uninstall Skype.
