Hello everyone:
I don't set my expectations too high. I know that this is a new phone, and it is not without it's bugs, but it is an awesome phone and from reading others who were having issues, I wanted to get a Nexus S working right for me!
I purchased my first Nexus S at a local Best Buy.
Everything about the phone was fine, the battery life seemed good, it ran quickly, did not notice any lag or any other major problems. However, I did begin to notice the back-button being unresponsive, as many others have stated experiencing. From reading threads on XDA, the jury is still out on whether this is a software or hardware issue, but that some people were able to get a phone without the issue by returning it for a replacement.
So I did...
I exchanged for my second Nexus S at a local Best Buy.
This one was kind of odd. Took a little while the for the 'important system updates' notice to come up, so I had already synced with my gmail and had also manually updated google maps and a few other apps.
When I finally did install the system update and the phone booted, I got a systemcore process FC error off the bat. Not good news. Later on, all seemed well, but I noticed a lot of lag with using the GB keyboard (unresponsive at times), and also having difficulty with the end-call button to end a call in progress (again, unresponsive so I had to press it a bunch of times before it would respond). Also, the battery life did not seem to be nearly as good as the first Nexus S.
So... I turned it back to Best Buy, but they did not have another replacement. So I turned it in for a refund.
I called Best Buy toll-free number, told them about the trouble that I was having, and they waived the overnight shipping fee, took my order for a new Nexus S, and I got it via UPS the next day (just at the 24 hour mark)
With this phone, I booted the phone and chose skip to login/create a gmail account. Phone loaded up completely, and I was just signing into my gmail account when I got the 'important system updates' message.
I updated immediately. Everything went smoothly.
I have not noticed any problems so far. The phone runs smoothly. It had no FC upon first boot after the system update. The back button works as it should. I don't notice any lag with the keyboard. I pulled up engadget.com full site and did not notice any lag out of the norm, apart from it being slow to load as I'm working with the crappy Edge network here (who cares if there are 4G phones out when my area doesn't even have 3G yet and that is where I am mostly). I have also tested the ringtones. I moved some music to my SD Card. I downloaded/installed Ringdroid. I created a ringtone. I set the ringtone. I have rebooted my phone three times and my ringtone still works. I mounted and unmounted my SD card (even moved some files to it), and I still have my ringtone.
So, what was it? Was it three times the charm? Was it there was a bad batch at the local Best Buy? Was it that because of the volume of Best Buy over phone and online sales, you'll get a newer and better Nexus S going through that route? Was it because I installed the system update before doing anything else, including syncing my gmail? I'm not sure...
But I do know that I love this phone, and *knock on wood* it continues to work the way that it should, I'll be happy with it for a long time to come.
My advice for those who are experiencing the issues that I had with my first two Nexus S to try try again. I know it's disappointing that a customer would have to do that in the first place as it is time consuming and stressful, but in the end, there might be a happy ending with you and your Nexus S.
Glad everything is working out for ya. Luckily my first nexus s has been great from day one.

I have my second phone and it feels like the screen is less sensitive as on my first one. Unfortunately I cannot say if this is a problem with 2.3.1 because my first phone never got the 2.3.1 update and got stuck with 2.3. I have the feeling that 2.3 was much faster and less laggy than 2.3.1. I probably will return the phone again to see if this is a phone problem or if this was introduced with 2.3.1.

I'm from Canada and bought the phone off someone from craigslist
Getting tried of watching my phone reboot. If going back to stock would resolve the issue I would do it. I called big red today and the pinhead I spoke to acted like it was the first time anyone had called about the TB rebooting on it's own. I'm looking at going to a different phone. I really think at this point it is a software issue that they need to correct. Just like with most businesses things are not addressed until they become a problem. So my thought is we should set a date when every one calls in to report their rebooting phones. We do this every week until we get a resolution. Anyone with me?
Wait... You are rooted and getting reboots? Are you on gb? Did you root or install your rom properly? What kernel?
Stock I had no issues. Non-Gb I've had mostly no issues... Some kernels less reliable than others, of course. But to be honest it sounds more like a user issue than a tb issue

Are you near a Verizon store? Verizon is usually very easy to convince that you need your phone replaced. (Although I think they will only replace it with the same model. But I'm not sure.) My Thunderbolt never reboots on its own but I know it is a problem that many Thunderbolts are experiencing, so maybe yours (and many others) is/are defective. I'm 99% sure if you go into a Verizon store and tell them that it randomly reboots all the time, they'll replace it for you.
I reverted back to stock and haven't had a single reboot or loss of data on three days. Just sayin'.

I have read posts where people who are not rooted are getting reboots after they took the update. Have never had an issue with my phone until I took the update. Am going back to stock for a week or so to see if that clears things up.
Funny how VZW is changing their stance on it, almost as if it never has happened. About a month ago I went into a store and they told me that Im not the only one experiencing problems and that there will be a fix within 2 months.
I called VZW tech support and they told me that no one else is having reboots.. . . . I dont get it.
Try flashing your radios, I put both of mine to .6 and the reboots stopped.
(there is a thread in teh development forum, with the packages)
Can you specify what you mean when you say "both"? I have been getting reboots too - approximately 1 per day - but is there a process to flash each radio independently?

It is a hardware issue,that's where the few pricked phone came from,my original bolt had the reboot loop on stock but no one seems to want to hear that,it is a series of phones having the trouble and they are or have replaced most of them,as far as most of the other reboot go that is self made misery by not following directions or not reading to find the fix, this bolt I have now has no reboot issues and it has a mat finish to it,the other one and a few I have seen that had issues had a smooth glossy finish.

I would love to think its a hardware issue, but my phone was solid from day one. Then I took the update and get these random reboot.

It is not a hardware issue. It is a problem with the update and how certain phones installed it. Verizon is in the process of making a new update and has been working on it with HTC for a little while now & expect to have it going out this month. For some reason the software does not talk to the towers properly with some models & the hardware does not get the proper info which causes the reboots. Exactly how to tell which phones are affected, I don't know. My friend is trying to find out for me.
I can say that I ran my phone with rooted stock & moved up to the rooted update when it was available which I am still on and I have not had any issues at all besides the low recorded video audio which the update seems to have fixed for me.
My phone is:
Rooted stock & radios w/update
Adrynelynes 4.47 Kernal
I am telling you what HTC said they admit that a certain series is defective hence the snappy replacement. Just cause one Rom works and another doesn't isn't always the Roms fault,ever had a CPU that would run one OS and not another or RAM that worked fine on xp but not win 7 once the defective hard hits its limit it will fail. I have seen hardware work fine overclocked and the exact same hardware crash with half the settings,or a motherboard run suse fine but put Windows on it and it dies a week later. I didn't say they all were defective just one series of them and when they did the update a lot of the phones started to fail and some didn't,so does that tell you hardware or software,if one can run fine and the other fails its either a bad flash or bad hardware. Take your pick

I didn't do the update over the air on my other bolt, I downloaded it from HTC and it killed the phone,but the same download is on this phone and it works just fine,not one reboot, and its still stock and not rooted. The other one was dated Dec
10 and this one is dated Feb 11, I would just about guess they tweaked the update to weed out the bad phones faster,makes sense to me.

I wasn't aware of HTC stating there was some defective hardware. Never saw any references to it. If thats the case then glad they acknowledged it.
It's definitely not a hardware issue. Its a radio/ signal issue. Verizon does know about it, and is working on getting a new update out there. I know this, for a fact.

My TBolt is not rooted and before the update I had no problems at all but after the update the random reboots started. Battery life is acceptable but could be allot better.
Called Verizon yesterday and they acknowledge the problem and actually said HTC is aware of the problem and are working on it but have no expected date as to when it will be fixed. I believe it is definitely is a software issue and will be fixed when the official Gingerbread is released. Just my 2 cents.

I have a Class 4 8GB and whenever I install this Zombie game on there that makes you dl files to your SD card it disappears..
Vibrating feedback randomly stops/starts.
Yes, I'm new...give it time!
I'm with At&T in the Tenn/Ky region... I've been experiencing random radio failure. Running stock firmare, rooted. Every 2-4 hours I loose 4G Data, Voice, etc. signal and after a minute or so, it goes into Emergency Call Only Mode for another moment, then finally my 4G Data, etc. are fully restored. Odd. Don't know if its an At&T service issue, which is doubtfull because I'm within range of 4+ towers. Anyone else experiencing similar issues?

You're not alone, that's a common issue. I've been reported the exact issue happening in Turkey where there're no 4g towers and such. This is related to atrix radio rom and motorola should immediately release a fix for this.
Most annoying issue: type in a terminal and 'i' becomes 'I' automatically. Doesn't matter whether using the swype or regular keyboard.
But if I use swype to create the word, it doesn't do the capitalization of 'i'....strange!
I think I found one the first one is plugging in a corded hands free set & then opening the dialer and it keeps cycling the call immediately hangs up the call and start the call again. it stops if you pull out the hands free set.

Now the market simply won't load...
This phone is full of awesome!
I cleared all the data and uninstalled all updates. It worked for about 5 seconds...the force closed. Tried opening it a few more times and it would just open/close immediately. Now it's telling me that, "This application is not installed on your phone."
I want to like this phone. It has a lot of potential, but the bugs (and seemingly lack of support) are getting to be too much.

So apparently the vibration randomly stopping has to do with the motor getting stuck.
Pretty lame that you gotta hit the phone to get it to work right...

For apps disappearing please tell us if you are using 3rd party launcher such as go launcher, launcher pro, adw ex, etc.
For the people with class 10 sd card its a hit or miss. Motorolla forgot to mention which class works for our phone correctly.
For losing signal it happens maybe its the phone problem if you just look at the phone but it maybe the cell tower problem for not upgrading its cell tower to work with new phones properly.
I have a problem with my old blue tooth and only solution is to get a new one lmao.
For the headset problem I am using EH-50 from motorolla and i haven't experienced any problem.

Hello everybody,
I read a lot concerning bugs within the Atrix 2.
There really seem to be a big difference between the MB and the ME version especially concerning being branded by phone carriers.
Yesterday I bought the ME865 in Hong Kong, loaded with Android 2.3.6 and the
55.90.2 system version/firmware.
I could not reproduce any of those bugs. Especially concerning the SD card trouble, I don't have any of those problems. All apps on Card run fine. No crashes or lost files etc.
The only thing that is not working is the video function on skype. I found no solution for it yet. Its a hacked .apk since I cannot see Skype on the market. I saw there was already a threat about it.
P.S.
Good to be here
Atrixed2 - I had apps dissappear when using Go Launcher. After several factory resets, I'm now using ONLY motor-sucks-launcher and guess what? ...apps still disappear. It is so random, and sometimes takes several days, but is still happening, and driving me madd.

Give it a week or two then post back here again if still no problems running apps on the SD card. I was happy as a blue-jay for a while after each factory reset. The only reason I haven't had to reset again, is that I no longer run ANY apps on the SD card, and have given up on a few other things we SHOULD be able to do as well.

Hi there. This is my first post on forum. I searched around before asking and couldn't come across anything. My apologies if i overlooked anything.
Here's a short run down of the prob. Purchased a infuse off ebay. Phone received on initial purchase worked with app2sd and google hangouts (must haves for me). However, due to faulty speaker, i had to return. Replacement was different. Gui interface and just everything in general. That's when i learned it was a different OS/Rom as you guys would say.
So i searched around and found kies mini and updated to gingerbread. That fixed my problem with google hangouts which is now working fine. Though, App2sd is still not working and gives me the same ole "failed to move application", "not enough memory" error. Was wondering what solution you all could offer?
Should i go back to froyo that it was shipped with and upgrade to another OS in hope i can use my app2sd again?
And Is it okay to upgrade ICS/JB/ or beanstalk from 2.3.6? Do i need to revert to stock first? if so, direction please?
Should also note, that my phone was fubared on first upgrade to gingerbread. "/\ firmware encountered an issue /\" error. Is that what you guys refer to as a bricked phone? Was stuck on this screen and recovery mode failed around 2 times before working like a charm 3rd time around. So i'm now somewhat hesitant to do anything more in terms of upgrading. I do have 60 day warranty with ebay, so i'm not all that worried. Though, simply wanted some advice/direction before i made any drastic attempts at anything else next time around. Thx to those replying. Appreciate any help or support on this.

I would say that it would be best to flash CyanogenMod or Beanstalk along with gapps and you can move the apps to the SD card by using the settings.

Ideas anyone? Thanks.
My first post here. I've been lurking and learning for a year or more and this is the most knowledgeable place I know of.
I have the att version of this tablet and I am having serious crashing issues. I can use an app for about 20 minutes or so and it will blue screen and restart itself. After it happens once it will do it every few minutes until I leave it alone for a while. Sometimes I need to hard restart it and sometimes it will restart on its own but the screen doesn't come on. Only sound. As far as I can tell it's not overheating and this will happen even if I install nothing from the play store and just use the factory apps.
I have reset to factory many times and reinstalled the firmware with kies and that didn't help. I have returned the tablet to att for a replacement and I have the same problem with the replacement. I'm past the 14 days now and would need to return to Samsung but I don't want to do that if there is something I can do on my own.
Anyone else having these issues or can point me in the right direction to fix this?

I am sad to say that I am experiencing the same issue. I have noticed that I experience the issue more when playing games and / or when there is a lag in data transfer in an application. I can tell this usually when playing a game that is synchronized with the server I will experience the blue screen of death and when I restart and load the game again the game is several moves behind where I actually was. I usually don't experience this error in a lot of other applications especially word processing applications, but I have noticed that it is an issue. I assume its software related, and though it is frustrating, I'm glad to know I'm not the only one.
For a short time I thought that it was related to frequent use of the touchscreen, but I'm not sure that this is true. I don't feel like mine restarts once every 20 minutes.
Sadly I have not found a solution to the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If anyone needs any logs or system information; if you can tell me how to send it I would gladly send it.

Yes. It is very nice to know I'm not the only person having the issue.
20 minutes is really more of an average. Sometimes I can go longer without an issue but it is guaranteed it will crash.
You bring up a great point that I didn't notice. It is more frequent when it is an app that uses a lot of data.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using XDA Free mobile app
No such issues on the international P905... Not in any of the games I play (It does 6 hours straight without issue) nor in data-heavy apps.
So it's likely AT&T-branded related.
My ATT version occasionally has a few apps that crash. I just restart and usually it's good. It is the same apps that do it so I don't thinks it the tablet.
I am experiencing the same thing on my P907. Can't seem to nail down the culprit.
Are any of you that are having this issue rooted?

I had the same issue then realized it was connected to Knox. I had 'Frozen' all Knox connected apps after I rooted an thought that might be it. I did a new root and it worked fine till I installed SuperSu which was not the issue specification but rather the fact that it disables Knox during the installation. I did one more clean wipe then when I rooted this time I just left Knox alone and I have had zero random reboots or crashes and I have not tripped Knox.
No, no root. Stock. I have minimised the frequency by switching from samsung keyboard to the swipe keyboard but it still occurs.

It happened when it was stock and it happens rooted. It's gotten to the point now that I went back to my iPad. I'm not liking the iPad since I've switched but I just can't use the note with it crashing all the time. I don't know what else to try.

I've seen a report or two about stability issues related to micro USB cards. If any of you are using one it may behoove you to try shutting down, removing the card and running without it for a while just to rule that out. Sometimes a corrupted card can do it when an application writes or reads from a particular location of the card. It's worth a shot.
Mine doesn't crash. But I feel it freezes occasionally. Itis actually subtle, but I can feel it. Especially, I certainly feel that my note 3 runs more smoothly then the note pro 12.2. Mine is a wifi version. Has anyone else got the same feeling? How can I optimize the device?

Do you use a microsd card? Most cards are really slow compared to internal memory. The Note Pro seems to install whatever it can on External-sd when adding a new app. Go into application manager to move all apps back to internal storage. See if that helps with the stutters and freezing.

All my apps are installed internally. I got some time to run the benchmark tests and the scores all seemed to be normal. However, in Antutu, the memory score of the note pro is about 60% of the score of note 3. Could the memory be the reason for the stutters?
So I called Samsung and I am sending it in for repair. As I said in my first post I already swapped for a new one at att and I have the same results so I'm not thrilled about sending this in just to have the same issues with whatever they send back to. Be it a new tablet or if they say mine is fixed. I didn't pay over $900 for something I can't use so I will get this resolved one way or another. I will report back when it's returned to me.

I think I may have licked it and not really sure why but I've gone from a dozen crashes a day to zero for the last few days. I went into Kies and did a Firmware Upgrade and told it to completely wipe out all of my data. It downloaded the firmware and reinstalled, I rerooted restored everything from Titanium Backup and its all good so far... Something to consider

I am sad to say that I am experiencing the same issue. I have noticed that I experience the issue more when playing games and / or when there is a lag in data transfer in an application. I can tell this usually when playing a game that is synchronized with the server I will experience the blue screen of death and when I restart and load the game again the game is several moves behind where I actually was. I usually don't experience this error in a lot of other applications especially word processing applications, but I have noticed that it is an issue. I assume its software related, and though it is frustrating, I'm glad to know I'm not the only one.
For a short time I thought that it was related to frequent use of the touchscreen, but I'm not sure that this is true. I don't feel like mine restarts once every 20 minutes.
Sadly I have not found a solution to the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If anyone needs any logs or system information; if you can tell me how to send it I would gladly send it.

im having the same problem. it occurs almost always when im playing games. I thought this device's hardware was top notvh for a tablet but it can only run on the lowest quality settings of most games. im very disappointed.
I experience this too, but it usually happens when the cover is open and it's on the back side of the device, it sometimes interact with magnetic sensor (some little movements of the case) and causes soft-reboot.
Nothing happens if cover is on the front side.
I should have my tablet back tonight or tomorrow depending on UPS. they sent me an email stating they replaced a component (whatever that is) and updated the software. We'll see if that fixes it.
