Wondering if anyone else is having a problem when updating/downloading apps from the Play Market. Each Time I do it seems to "freeze" the tablet for several seconds, no touch input works. Then it will slowly come back to life and allow touch inputs or the ability to back out/go home. Is it just me?
I haven't had this issue so far. I had a pretty hefty amount of apps to install when I moved over to this tablet and it did it seamlessly. There was some slow down, but this is to be expected as it accesses the memory and such. Otherwise, I had little to no issues with the market besides some network slowdowns when loading images and such.
This hasn't been an issue with the network. If I download a single app its as if the machine is non-responsive for 5-10 seconds, no touch input works (not even the home button) then after that time it will show downloading and everything gets back to normal. I have not noticed any issues in any other programs and not even any slowdown. But when downloading from the Play Market it does this every time, something has to be glitching between the two.
Does anyone else have this occur...with any device? I've used the android market for several years now and this has never happened before. I love the tablet though, this is just an annoyance that I want to resolve.
I have it with Asus Transformer TF101. I always assumed it was a hardware problem (slow NAND).

I'm pretty sure its not a hardware issue with the Note 10.1
No problem here with US GN 10.1 32GB WIFI. Had two Google Play downloads going then went to play Ski Safari that seem even faster than my Nexus 7 even with the downloads in the background.
Firmware update seems to have fixed the market freezing problem I had when updating/downloading apps. Though there is a very slight "lag" that occurs when doing so...its there only when I first initiate an update/download - glad its not freezing now though!

once so far. I actually had to reboot the xoom to get it back going.
5 days of heavy use. No browser crashes. Wifi only version.

Far more than it should. At least 5 times in the week I've had it.

Never happens...cause i don't use it.
I haven't kept count, but i'd guess at least 5 times. I've also had one forced reboot (system was none responsive, then got the honeycomb boot animation.
Honestly, maybe one or two times a day on average. I use the Xoom as my main device while I work/code from my laptop. The Xoom is my browser and testing device.
Though most of the times the browser crashes I either:
- have multiple tabs with videos, etc open in the browser
or
- am trying to visit a site that's heavily coded and crap for web standards
Usually its the later. (Which a lot of even major sites have terribly coded sites)
It crashes everyday for me, but I have alot of tabs open...what pisses me off is it doesn't reload the sites that were open after the crash...
2 or 3 times a day for me. Seems like it gets jammed up, I use a lot of flash
Not once, although the launcher has crashed and the entire thing has frozen up on me twice. I've only had it for 3 days
My fiance's crashes 4-6 times a day.
Miñe crashes like clockwork when I tries to close a facebook chat session.. happens in dolphin also.. I think its still more buggy then I would hope. But I'm gonna clean this thing out soon and hopeully its all my crap and oc's that I did
I usually only have two tabs open and only visit a handful of sites. No crashes so far. If you get a consistent crash on the same site, post it here so it can be verified and reported.
It's happened maybe four times for me. I've also had it act "funny" where it won't finish loading pages (the status goes most of the way, and hangs). It continues to respond, but just won't finish the pages (especially complicated ones). Killing the browser fixes it.

once when I first got it. Overall I've had a very bug free existence on my wifi xoom.
my browser gives me fits also. I was one of the people that used the code and received the 25% discount. Any other users with discount have more of a browser problem then others. Just curious if there's some connection there.
You guys should try Dolphin Mini...It works good as hell..!!!! Also don't confuse this with Dolphin Hd.
no crashes but browser is slow as hell. Why? Is the a fix or patch or something? There is no reason why the xoom browser should not load ,scoll, and respond as fast if not faster than my galay tablet. Both on same wifi. Any ideas?
I have the Motorola Xoom Wifi and the stock browser crashed constantly and froze. I use Opera 11 and it works flawless. I have used for almost a week and have had no crashes since. You can get it free in the marketplace - try it out.
yep Opera is OK but comes with no flash support..once again please try Dolphin mini..I'm ready to take Opera off my Xoom now thanks to Dolphin mini.
I know that everyone is having issues of some sort with their xoom but I feel as if mine crashing and restarting may be excessive. I will make this brief but I just wanted to know if anyone else's xooms freeze up and show a graphical error similar to a bad graphics card when in the browser. Here I have a picture showing the issue. And if this is a common error, are there any known fixes?
Looks like a problem with the renderer in the browser, or whatever hardware / software is running it. If it doesn't happen elsewhere its probably just a software issue, just flash a stock image, hopefully that will fix it.

I've had the same issue... random crashiness in the browser... images sometimes failing to appear but coming up after a resize. Things were quite a bit better with flash uninstalled. I tried turning off 3d rendering mode in the browser debug setting and had no video issues but the browser was almost unusably slow. I haven't had the issues in other apps so I suspect the browser is quite buggy.
is anybody else noticing issues where apps that use internet crash constantly? E.G. When installing Asphalt 6 it crashes about 30 times which i have to keep resuming saying there was downloading errors. Not to mention i have to wait about 3 minutes after hitting download for apps in the market to actually download? Is anybody else experiencing these issues? Please make yourself known if you are and if somebody has generated a fix for this PLEASE tell me.
[[[[[[SOLUTION]]]]]]]]
Okay so i found out theres a bug with the 3.2 update. At least in my case. Maybe others who just arent aware yet. I hosted tests. I installed asphalt 6 on my 3.2 rooted unlocked setup. the download failed about 30 times intermittently. slowly downloaded entire thing failing and restarting throughout.
Then i removed my root and relocked my device and factory reset it(still on 3.2 just deleted all my data). Posted same test with same results. So then i flashed my device to 3.0 and upgraded to 3.1 DID NOT UPDATE TO 3.2. Did the same test downloading asphalt. It downloaded all 500+mb of data in one run without failing. Aswell as my Gtalk has been sitting for an hour and hasnt logged me off once.
So my conclusion is that 3.2 brings unstable wifi connections and therefor i will stay at 3.1 until a new update is released!!! THANKS!!!!!
Again this may not bother others but if im doing video on talk i hate having to recall every 5 minutes and i hate having to constantly try to redownload files when they fail.

ALSO google talk logs me out every few minutes.
..anybody?
No issues like that to report here. I'm running tiamat rom 2.0 now, but I was running 3.2 stock before and it was fine.
hmm
I think i figured the market part out... I hit download app it says waiting for install. I click on my apps in the top corner then hit back twice then go to the app again and instead of download it says install. REALLY WEIRD market glitch...
Now for Gtalk. Is anybody else having issues where it logs you out ever 5 to 10 minutes saying issues connecting to server?
It would be nice to know im not the only one having issues downloading large files on 3.2 Just so i can know for sure i dont have defective hardware.

I don't think this is related but whenever I have had trouble downloading, I check to see if I have any app updates waiting. They seem to take priority over new downloads.
I notice that too but unfortuneatly this is just when i was downloading 1 large file. I dont know why but for some god awful reason my wifi connection reset like ever 5-10 minutes causing issues for every app that needs internet access. But now on 3.1 its working flawlessly. Along with the benefit of having swype keyboard
I am starting to narrow this bug down, and should be fixesd in the next tiamat rom.
I am using Tiamat 2.01 and am experiencing extreme slowness on anything over wifi. This is on a U.S. wifi only. As I'm typing this there is a several second lag from when I hit the key to the time it displays. What I don't remember is whether it started when I went from Tiamat 1.1 to 2.0 or from 2.0 to 2.01.

Man i really dont think its your fault for this bug. Whenever i upgraded to 3.2 stock alone this issue arises. I guarantee you its the fault of the stock rom. thats when i experience the issue. ive tried updating to just stock 3.2 3 times now from 3.1. 3.1 is always fine. No download issues. It downloads whole files in bulk without failing. But it never fails. Every time i upgrade to 3.2 stock i get failures throughout the large file downloads.
Any news? out of curiosity.
I am sure this was discussed somewhere else, but if you set up the WiFi profile with a static IP this issue goes away. It is definitely a bug in stock 3.2 where DHCP continuously reassigns and IP address every few minutes causing all downloads and GTalk sessions to be disconnected. Now I know static IP addresses are not always possible, but strangly what I found on my stock 3.2 Xoom is that as soon as I had ONE profile setup to use static IP, the other profiles that were setup to use DHCP no longer had this problem. Really strange.
My problem is that everything over wifi was slow with several second lags between the time you hit a key and the time it displayed that character. Even just scrolling on a webpage was excruciatingly slow. Local apps ran fine. I thought I would give your idea a try, so I went into my AT&T U-verse modem and left DHCP enabled for my Xoom's IP address, but I dedicated that address to my Xoom. I then rebooted the Xoom and without making it a static IP address my network speed was very fast.
Hopefully that helps anyone who is having the same issue, but doesn't want to set a static IP address.
anyone make any progress on this yet? I just flashed the 3.2 Tiamat 2.01 ROM, coming from Tiamat 1.1 and am unable to complete the download of themes in thumb keyboard and other apps that allow for in-app downloads. I am assuming that the problem is related to this. Does that sound correct?
Recently purchased and have been liking the tablet besides it's internet performance. I immedietly updated the tablet to lollipop out of the box so I was not able to test it's network on kitkat.
Since using the tablet I've noticed a variety of issues:
1. Opening webpages in chrome is substantially slower than on my phone (htc one m8 running fairly stock sense rom), with longer load times and occasional hangs on page loads that require a refresh to complete.
2. When using either reddit is fun golden or reddit news pro, subreddits take longer to load than on the M8 as well.
3. Slow Google play downloads. I'm not sure if this is just a Play store being slow or truly an issue with my device. Occasionally if i have multiple downloads or updates qeued it will finish one and just sit on trying to start the next one without actually doing it.
I have been having these issues on two different home networks with different routers, different ISPs, and different cities. Interestingly though, when running the Speed Test app, the tablet does better than the M8 and comes back testing perfectly fine.
Any suggestions as to what i can do to get to the bottom of this? Any diagnostic test I can do? Any setting? Has anyone else been having these issues and is this just an issue with the lollipop update?
Thank you in advance!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think any OTA update is a "dirty flash". I also was having many issues that included complete freezing up of the tablet. You having updated out of the box could be different (I had a bunch of apps installed when I updated), but I think most of my issues were solved with a factory reset. ??
I'm sure its a software issue as at school I get 40mb which is alot than my nexus 7, 10mb
Hi there!
I've contacted nvidia regarding this issue (reps seems oblivious) and posted it on their official forums to no avail, so I'll try and give it a shot here.
Basically whenever my tablet connects to WiFi after being disconnected for some time (a few hours to a few days), the tablet freezes when it downloads notifications. The freezes can be minimal (like a 5 second freeze) or be quiet substantial (it can lock up for as long as 10 mins). Once all notifications are downloaded and displayed, the tablet then performs like a charm. I even got my tablet replaced from nvidia and it has the same problem as the one I sent in. Uninstalling Facebook and Facebook Messenger improves performance drastically, but when my tablet checks for notifications it freezes still freezes for a few seconds (with Facebook installed, it could lock up for 10 mins and crash the launcher multiple times). Running on max performance did nothing. I'm really curious if this is a hardware or software issue since some people doesn't seem to have this problem.
I'm running on nvidia's stock firmware (4.2) unrooted.
So here is my question. Have any of you guys experienced this problem? Were you able to solve it? How did you solve it (did a custom rom solve this)?
The main reason why I haven't installed a custom rom yet is because I use the stylus frequently and I use the touch-block feature in nvidia's stock roms and couldn't find ports of it.
Here is a video of the issue. (youtube.com/watch?v=cJrUPV7mY6s) Now there are a lot of widgets on the video, but I assure you removing all of them does nothing. I tried.
Facebook Messenger. That says it all. What other apps have you running in the background?
This definitely sounds like a software issue to me.
Maybe you're being hijacked. Who knows.
I've had this same issues since I got the tablet (K1). System reset, no non-Google apps. Happens regardless of FW; I'm on the latest update. Don't be quick to blame the OP.
Basically, every time the tablet gets a new network connection, the system hangs and becomes unresponsive for 10 seconds to 2 minutes at a time. It's obvious that it's updating all the apps' network requests. However, the thread priority should make the system hang. I've only seen this issue on the K1; never on any other Android device. Either they're using a custom network stack, or they've messed with networking priorities.
I'm on the latest update

Of Facebook Messenger? Or OS? Or all apps?
Either way, it makes no matter no such issues on Lollipop. I am just saying.
