Nexus s problems

What's up xda forums.had a couple of concerns with my phone. my nexus s stock running 2.3.2 rooted and unlocked. Here are some of my issues so far
While driving and on the phone, sometimes the call drops after making a nasty sound and stays stuck on the hanging up screen and I can't make or receive a call till I reboot.
When turning the phone off sometimes and turning back on, the screen hangs for a while and 4 seconds later ill feel the phone vibrate 2-3 times and go back to normal in which its not lagging.
When opening my gallery the phone takes about 5 seconds to show me my thumbnails of my photos.it does this every time. Also when I take pictures it takes about 10 seconds to see the photo I took. When talking on the phone I drop alot of.calls or I hear the person sound like a chipmunk lol.
Is my phone messed up? Is the stock rom messed up? I flashed a stock image thru clockwork after I tried a alpha cm7build. Was it corrupted or is my phone a pos. My nexus one never gave me this many problems.
Any help would be great

Well, yeah, most of your problems have been mentioned by someone here at one point or another. Some of them have workarounds, some are waiting for fixes from Google.
I think if you try a few searches with the search button in this and the General section you'll find already lengthy discussions on most of those issues.

These problems started after you flashed back to stock?
Try clearing caches and reflash I guess.

Maybe even a fastboot oem unlock again to force a TOTAL WIPE of the phone. Be careful, sdcard contents are wiped too.

The only major issue I've had only happened once, and it happened for the first time yesterday: Without me touching the back button it started flashing and going back through the app I was in at great speed. It was rather frustrating but its only ever happened the one time.

What some people forget is that the Nexus One also had a lot of problems apon release,
All was ironed out by google

Im gonna try this right now. thanks for your help

I was able to make one of the problems repeat.. seems cause of the case i have everytime i hit the power button my thumb seems to hold down the volume rocker right in the middle. i then unlock the phone while its still tying to catch up from something.. cause 4 seconds later it will vibrate 2-3 times and the phone is back to reg speed.. there something wrong with my rom or can ya make this happen too?

Yup I get most of these issues too, it really spoils the experience. Next time I'm not gonna get a google phone straight upon release, it's really not worth the hassle. Also does anyone have problems with the wifi? Mine is horribly weak its a joke, struggles with wifi from my bedroom which my laptop and old Iphone 2g handled fine

Phone crashing since updating fw

Hi all,
Since updating my O3D to the latest firmware via the LG Update tool, it has crashed a few times (at least three), so bad that I had to reboot.
It happens when I use the keyboard. Twice while typing text messages and once in Dolphin web browser.
Keyboard and messaging app were the stock ones from LG.
It seemed like the keyboard 'app' crashed and wouldnt respond to presses any more. I could press the home button at the bottom of the screen, but the keyboard stayed on screen taking up space and everything move up to the top. If I held the home button I could switch apps but noting worked. Eventually I just held the power button and powered off. I had to choose power off twice before the phone did anything.
This was the same each time it crashed.
Anyone else seen problems like this? Never saw it before I updated the fw but then again I've only had the phone a couple of weeks.

This is my second update since having my Optimus 3D and yes this time I have noticed one problem that I didn't have before which is that if I leave my wi-fi enabled then the phone will reboot after about twenty minutes of it being on yet if I switch the phone off the phone works fine.
So yes it is possible the firmware update affected your phone in some way. In your case you could try a different keyboard app but in mine it is the built in wireless so no solution as yet but maybe a keyboard app and or alternative messenger app will help solve your problem.

I don't think its v10k doing this. I believe its ATK doing this.

same here I had problems once I updated from D to K and then 10J, the phone will just keep rebooting, I tried taking out the SD card as some have suggested but that still did not fix the issue, last night I totaly wiped the phone to Brand new condition, then re-installed everything via the market, No root and the phone so far has been working perfect, 14 hours no reboots with wifi set on always.

after updating to LGP920-V10k-SEP-17-2011 my phone reboots ever 20 min.
phone is completely wiped no root. just standard.

Not sounding good. I do have root on my phone and I also leave WiFi on from when I get home until when I go back to work and my phone doesn't reboot on its own.
The last time my phone crashed was Friday or Saturday but I havent used the keyboard that much since.

Maybe they are different revisions of the motherboard on the phone.
It is strange to help because i don't have any reboots.

Another thing I have noticed since the update, when typing text messages if I turn the phone to landscape mode, the screen doesn't rotate to match.

I have a few rotation glitches too I think they need to hurry up with GB update

To be honest, I didn't check into the whole Android version thing before I got the phone and it never bothered me, until now! Hopefully these bugs wont be present in GB.

HELP: Inspire started crashing recently

I have an unrooted HTC Inspire with stock GingerBread upgrade ROM. Recently for over 2 weeks, system started crashing on any random application from HTC sense to Gmail or even Firefox. I have tried both force close option and report but the phone becomes touch insensitive. I have pull out the battery and force a reboot. Sometimes the system is power saver mode, when I press the power button the screen doesn't illuminate and remains dark. I have to pull out the battery and reboot. I have tried plugging into the wall to see whether its a power issue but the screen still doesn't illuminate
I haven't installed any new application recently. There were numerous application updates that went through but nothing that stands out.
any help to debug this is much appreciated!

Did you update to gingerbread over the air?

Mine has been doing the same thing. I did the ota as soon as it came to my phone and never had issues till now. Today I was recording a video of my car and I couldn't stop it. nothing that I touched works I had to do a battery pull which sucks with a otter box defender.. After the reboot my brightness settings changed and it disabled background data. What's wrong?

When you mean over the air, you mean using ATT mobile network? yes, I did. Gingerbread update ran months ago, this just started happening

Unrooted phone with problems mean return to Store (lol). Dont try to figure the issues out just return for a new one.

Ok, the reason I ask is because I saw some people were having issues with the update and a factory reset solved it.

Have you tried a full restore? I had a similar problem with my Dell Streak. I had to fully reset/restore/return to factory settings. But the problems went away!

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.

***Ever since the 1.85 OTA it hasn't been happening so I would suggest HTC fixed it. ***
However I am rooted and doing mods so I am restarting more often to check my work.

[Q] Moto G rebooting

My wifes Moto G occaisionally crashes and reboots. It hasnt happened very often but I would like to know if it is happening to anyone else and if they know the cause? Maybe it's a bug that will be sorted with a future software upgrade?

The same is happening to me right now, I'm running 4.3. Sometimes it becomes very annoying; I already contacted Motorola through, they're supposed to call me later today...
I hope that KitKat solves this issue because I don't want to root yet.

Ah so it's not just us then. I hope that an update will cure it as I doubt that my wife would let me root her phone. Will be interesing to see what Motorola say.

Same issue here. Got the device, (US GSM) on Dec. 14th, and had it happen a couple of times. I didn't think anything of it, because this phone is for my son, and I was trying out parental control stuff on it. I wrapped it, and it sat under the tree till the 25th, which is when I updated it to 4.4, and the crashing has gotten worse. I get random app crashes, and more reboots now than ever. I cleared the partition cache, which didn't work. I am going to try a factory wipe and see if that fixes it, but I honestly doubt it. Moto chat told me to call in the morning to talk to a level 2 tech.
So, there seem to be a few of us, but I didn't see anything on their support forums....

So far I've had a single instant reboot in the camera app. Hope it doesn't get worse.

The phone is still rebooting sometimes. Is there any way I can check why it is happening like something that will create an error log? Or does anyone have any tips for stopping it happening? It is a very minor nuisance at the moment but I'm afraid it might get worse. Especially if it is a problem with the hardware rather than the software.

I have a UK moto g and it hasn't rebooted on me yet the past week I have had it
Sent from my XT1032 using xda app-developers app

I've got the International 8 GB version from Koodo and it hasn't rebooted since I started using it full time on Dec 28. It remains powered up 24/7.

Often these reboots and crashes are user app related, it may be a good idea to data factory reset the phone and see if the issue remains.
Undervolting the cpu may cause these issues too if you undervolt too much.
I have 120 apps installed and had no crash/reboot so far in the 3 weeks i had the phone.

I have same trouble. My device is crashing and rebooting sometimes at day. Is there any solution??
Moto g purchased in mexico, telcel.

Guys, return it to your phone dealer if you can. Waiting for a fix(that may or may not come) will just increase your pain. If the service center spots the restart, they should definitely repair/replace your phone.

Yes it could be but I think it's most likely Android OS or Motorola's own certain app that's causing this. My device resets so frequently that's it become impossible to use, unbelievably it reboots every 5-10min, even when I leave the phone on standby I see it rebooting it self.
It's no just specific app that I use, it has rebooted while I'm browsing (Google Chrome), in Gallery app, on Play Store and also when I was transferring images from pc to the device!
Motorola Chat support are useless, they just game me links to Moto UK Support contact, that's it. Not much of advice.
So I will be taking it back to Phone4u store and possibly get it replaced if they can.

Kit kat seems to have fixed problem.

My wifes phone seemed to be getting worse. It rebooted four times the day before yesterday. It always seemed to be worst when we were travelling.
Yesterday morning the Kit Kat update became available. The phone hasn't rebooted since. Hope I'm not speaking too soon but fingers crossed it seems to be fixed.

We got 2 Moto G's in our family (one for me, one for my father), both ordered from Amazon.de as 8gb version (XT1032)
I haven't seen any reboots on one of these devices. They both got updated to 4.4.2 yesterday and also no crashes.
Has anyone found out what is causing the crashes? Is it maybe even a hardware failure?

If the Kit kat upgrade has cured the problem on my wifes phone then it must have been software related. Possibly an app I had downloaded was causing it. It's worth pointing out as well that most people didn't seem to have this issue.
BTW I spoke to Motorola chat a few days ago using the help app. on the phone. They told me it was probably an app I had downloaded causing it and a factory reset would sort it. Installing the upgrade seems to have done the same thing though.

Happy to hear it's not something hardware related.
I even had reboots with my nexus 5, 4 on random basis (not often). Must be some sort of app I've had installed on all my devices

I received mine in december (from Amazon [Retail.FR]) and experienced some crashes (almost every day).
I installed KitKat on it and did two factor resets to be sure it was not software related issues. Since then, a week ago, I experienced a crash every day and half (screenshot). Crash happened without any reason or specific context.
My serial number is: TA8900B6##
I decided to return my Moto G to Amazon and buy a new one.

I'm experiencing the same and I decided to try to run a constant logcat in the background to see what's going on. Also is there any way to have a constant recording with dmesg? I'm no linux commands expert.
For logcat (in terminal emulator) I used logcat > sdcard/logcat.txt which is growing in size as far as I can see. Hopefully this brings some news.
Good luck everyone.
Cheers
