Three Times the Charm with Nexus S?

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.

[Q] Many problems after Atrix 2 OTA ICS update

Hello everyone,
I upgraded my Atrix 2 (AT&T, no previous mods) to ICS the other day and it has been nothing but problems ever since. Anything I tried to open (dialer, apps, menu's) would take 30+ seconds, some would never open. The Play store download are crazy slow. For example I tried updating Youtube and after 15 minutes it was at 18%. People would call and I would try to answer, but it stopped ringing long before it would actually try to answer. I was getting random reboots. I decided to do a factory reset.
Although it would boot fine now, it was still really buggy and laggy. Most apps take a good 30 seconds to load. The menu's seem to respond fine and so does the dialer. The play store is the exact same, painfully slow. It doesn't matter if it is Wifi or 4g. Although the web browser is slow to load, web pages load relatively quickly. It does stop responding every minute or so and takes a good 15 seconds to continue.
I turned on "Show all ANR's" in the developer options. When it boots I get a barrage of non responding apps/services for the first 10 minutes, then it slows down. I still get random ones though. Homescreen quite often and "com.motorola.process.system" not responding. I turned on CPU usage in the developers options, but I'm not sure what the information means or what is acceptable/unacceptable. I compared the values/graphs to my wife's ICS tablet and hers are much lower. For example:
My Atrix 2: 5.72 / 6.28 / 6.76 (graph is 1/3 of the way across the screen, most of it is blue, graph jumps around)
Transformer Tablet: 0.0 / 0.06 / 0.06 (graph is almost non existant).
Motorola support told me that I cannot compare the graphs because the 2 ICS versions are different enough that the values could not be compared. Maybe, maybe not. All they offered was for me to send the phone in. I'm searching the web like crazy, but I think that the update is new enough where there isn't too much content on the subject yet.
Anyone have any ideas on what I can do/try? Any tips on how to troubleshoot the problem?
Thanks
Dustin

Try a factory reset.

I tried several times (as mentioned) and although it was an improvement from the original update, it still performs terribly.

You said you hadn't done any mods. I assume you also did the official OTA update to ICS? In that case, I'd take the phone back to AT&T and ask for a replacement. If you're within the warranty period, they should honor it since you didn't do any mods/flashing.

Your assumption is correct, it was the official OTA upgrade. If there isn't really anything I can do, then I might just take it in. Motorola wanted me to send it in but I can't be without a phone for 1 week +. Hopefully I can work it out at the store so I don't have to send it in.

It could be a rogue app. Do a factory reset and clear the dalvik cache too.then do not sign in to your google. See what happens.

In the initial days after the ICS OTA I faced a lot less severity of similar issue raised by you which does not occur now by itself but sometimes very rarely.
As a last resort charge up fully, since you are ok with factory reset do it once more & then reboot and ensure you do not touch any of the default developer options. Don't use any apps explicitly from your end at all besides your core dialler and mobile data/wi-fi (which will of course bring up any background syncs & programs associated with background data). After an hour's use go to running apps and post screen shots (if need be after scrolling down for additionally non visible programs on visible screen) & similarly do the exercise for cached apps & maybe it'll help someone more knowledgeable to give some inputs as it'll show exactly what apps initialize & are active by themselves. Also before all this, screenshot "ANR's" since you have it enabled at the moment and finally I assume you are non rooted (just to know).

Thanks RAD7 and cloudedhopes.
I went into the semi-local AT&T service store and they said that this is a known issue to them. They told me that they couldn't give me a new phone because all of their replacement Atrix 2's came in with ICS and they had to send them back. Supposedly there is a fix coming for it someday.
I will give your posts a shot here over the next few days and report back the results. Normally I'd do it tonight but it's also a business phone and I just need it to work for me until the weekend. Thanks for the help!

I failed to get screen shots of the running services. The only way I could see a way to do it was take pictures with a camera and what I had handy only took blurry pictures.
I have made some sort of progress though. I did as you guys said, wiped it and basically did nothing with it for more than an hour.
I connected to WIFI and checked the web browser, works pretty well.
I put in a clean flash card and loaded music, the player works fine.
I eventually added an my personal and work email accounts, they work fine.
Sync'd my contacts with AT&T, still working fine.
The dialer, text messageing, preloaded apps all work fine.
As soon as I launch the play store and sign into my google account, it all goes down hill. Everything gets super slow and most things I'm trying to do temporarily stop responding. I wiped it again, re-did everything last night except my google account and it's now working fine again.

Since you mentioned Signing into Google play is issue, I am just thinking it could be because of the backup & restore option. Bu default Google allows to back up and restore your account. Its highly like you selected that too. There could some app which causing this issue. May be you can give a try without checking restore option....may not help out but just a thought...

That's a good suggestion sazhagianambi. I'll try that sometime today.
I let my phone run all day yesterday without signing into my google account. When I finally went to sign in I saw that check box... right after I hit sign in. I unchecked it, but I had already hit the sign in button so I think it was too late.

For taking screenshot, you have to press power & volume down button simultaneously. It works for sure. Google Play store is definitely acting slow on ICS but does not effect rest of my apps. I have noticed this whenever I update apps updates (I have disabled auto updates for all apps though & check manually) Everyone echoes the fact that do not go beyond class 6 SD's which is one thing you may want to consider (I am however using class 10 which is said to be a ticking time bomb & also it is mentioned never to install apps to SD card (which I do) but stay away from "Link2SD" & do not move apps marked with grey icon when it says movable. Avoid live widgets if possible. In any case it is recommended to reboot once in two days like how we do our computers to flush the ram and renew the system.
If yet your concern is so grave (& which it sounds) then by all means you should consider getting a replacement from AT&T if you are under warranty.

I eventually admitted defeat and called for a replacement. Unfortunately it showed up late and had to leave for a business trip. So I'm sure it's sitting on my porch right now. Oh well.
I appreciate everyone's input. I'm curious if it shows up with ICS on it or not.

I am experiencing the exact same thing on mine. I also felt that the Google Play store was the issue... so much that I uninstalled it and re-installed the newest version from an apk off the web. I swear my phone ran smooth for a couple days. I was pumped. But then, the slowness returned. It's horrible. I just 'froze' the Play store with Titanium backup, and will see if that helps. If so, I'll report back.

I wonder if anyone has been having success with the update. I'd have to assume yes since it's still available for download.
I got home last night and my replacement phone has Gingerbread. I'm thinking about rooting it and backing it up then trying the update again.

Hi,
Did you say your local ATT retailer said there is a known "problem" with operating ICS on it...I have been soft bricked since the OTA update..I am not a programmer, and have been reading posts for weeks..overwhelmed. out of warranty, and moisture sensor positive, so I will get nothing from ATT, unless there is a recognized compatibility issue?
Anyway, If your retailer said so, maybe I can relay that to my local,
thanks,
Jason

It was our local AT&T service center (Portland, OR) that said it was a known issue (the guys at the retail store knew nothing). He knew exactly what I was talking about and said that he had gotten an email a couple of days before about the update. He also said that he would have swapped my phone out right then and there but he had to send all of their replacement phones back because they came with ICS.
I wasn't sure if he was serious or just yanking my chain. I find it pretty hard to believe that it would be such a wide spread issue and the update would still be available. They did replace my phone though. My replacement phone has been reminding me of it but I've been ignoring it.

ATT. They sent me a new one and I sent my old one back after it arrived.

So I couldn't take it anymore, I got the update bug. This time I got all my pics and contacts backed up, factory reset, then OTA and it works like a Swiss Watch. I feel much better being on ICS now.

Random reboots

Hi guys, I got my G920i from an ebay seller that everyone here has been talking about. The phone was in great condition and everything was fine with the phone for the first 24 hours. Ever since then , my phone has been constantly rebooting after a few hours on it's own. I have not installed any apps that I normally don't have on my other android device , the oneplus one. The G920I is not rooted or anything. The only app I can think of , that is different this time from the OPO , is the samsung push service update. I checked around and could not see anyone else who had recvd the Push service update and was facing the same issue.
Please help!

same
I have the same issue. I also bought the international version off of eBay. I didn't notice anything for about two days, but have now had the phone restart on me three times. All three times I was not actively using the phone and the screen was off.

One thing that I tried was to reinstall the Samsung push service update. That worked for 3 days as I didn't see any more reboots. And just 15 mins ago it happened again while the phone was in my pocket. Hope this gets fixed soon.

It has happened to me twice. I just disabled the auto update feature for my apps to see if that actually works. Will let you know if it worked after a couple of days.

I've had the phone since last tuesday and didnt notice any random reboots until this app updated and now i have 3-5 a day

Im only around open networks at work and it does the soft reboots around my house which is secured

My random reboots started shortly after the Samsung Push Services app was updated. I force stopped it, disabled it and uninstalled the update and I haven't had a reboot in a while.
My phone was rebooting several times every day before that.
Edit: The random reboots are back. This is very frustrating.

reflash the firmware fix the problem for me. No reboot since 24 hours. 5 to 6 reboots per day before. Hope it will continue.

I also have the same issue. It has happened 2 times for me, today and yesterday. I had the phone in my hand and suddenly I see the Samsung logo. Within 5 minutes it reboots 2-3 times. This sucks =(

I have the same problem, it only happens to me when I open Play Store or when I update something.
Edit: I have the F model.

I have had my 920i for almost a week, and I haven't had any random reboot at all. Everything works as supposed to.

I bought my 920i from Breed on Ebay. Everything has been great for the most part, but I do experience a random reboot at least once every few days. It just happened to me while sitting on my desk.
I am rooted, but I don't have any crazy customizations and I applied stock recovery after root. Only one app is frozen and it's that Samsung Security Agent process that was draining my battery. I also have it connected to a Gear S, but I'm pretty sure that's not the issue.
I wiped it twice yesterday and then set it up. It's definitely not a ROM/cache issue. I'll be interested to see if anyone figures out what this is. It could just be a bug that we'll have to deal with until the next update. Fortunately, the phone restarts super fast.

I also believe this is a software issue. I am not rooted and don't see myself doing that any time soon.
Which network are you using on your 920i? I am on AT&T network

AT&T here, also.

I'm using the G920F with an european carrier, so I think that is a global problem.

It happened to me twice today. That's a first. The only thing that's different is that I have a Gear S connected full time.
Didn't Android 5.01 cause the phone to reboot after some time due to running out of available memory?

Random reboots

My pixel had decided it's going to randomly freeze and reboot itself
It does it a few times a day and doesn't seem to matter what apps are running
Is there anyway of logging the reboots without root to find the cause?

Same thing happening to me here too.

What I would do is start from scratch, install factory image, don't install any apps, use for a day to test, then install your apps one by one to find the culprit.
If still rebooting without any apps installed, it might be time for a rma

Has there been any resolution to this? My Pixel has been randomly rebooting, too. Already tried troubleshooting with Google tech support, tried Safe Mode (did it there, too), and factory reset and cache wipe.
It still happens. And when I say random, I mean random. Sometimes it reboots overnight, sometimes in my pocket, sometimes as I'm using the phone (it'll freeze in some cases too before it reboots). There's no obvious indication of what's causing it.
Has there been any light shed on this problem? Any clue as to whether it's software or hardware related?

Some days it doesn't, others it'll do it 5times. I've not had any luck fixing it which is annoying because it awesome except for that
Google aren't very helpful either, they refused to help because I got my phone through carphonewarehouse lol

Yeah, there really is no rhyme or reason to the way it reboots, making it even harder to diagnose.

Rebooted again while it was just sitting on my table. No rhyme or reason to this bug.

I've had my 5" Pixel since launch. Google Store device, 32GB, never unlocked the boot loader.
I had a few random reboots, but never actually saw it happen. I'd go to use my phone and see the pattern unlock screen you get on first use after restart.
I have not had it occur since the January OTA.

Same here. Sometimes I'll go to my phone wanting to use it, try my finger to unlock, and it'll prompt me to input my pattern because it's required after a reboot. Clearly, rebooting by itself.
It's frustrating because there's no rhyme or reason to it. Sometimes it'll happen multiple times a day, sometimes it won't happen for a couple of days.
At first, I thought the Jan update fixed it too because it didn't occur for a while after the update, but then it reared its ugly head again. I've already tested it in Safe Mode, did a factory reset, and the rebooting still persisted.
If you simply research this on the web, many others are having this issue. And it's even been reported a few times by Android sites/blogs. Google needs to get on top of this. At the very least, they should confirm it's a software issue and not a hardware issue.

Happens at random but only when I'm using Chrome or when my Pixel has been sitting on my nightstand charging.

I've had the phone since launch with no issues. My random reboots just started yesterday and it's happened 5 times in the past 12 hours. Glad I'm not the only one with the problem.

Mine hasn't really been "rebooting"... It's actually just been suddenly shutting completely off for no reason. It will be fine for a few days, then the next fee days it will simply abruptly shut off for no reason... Battery levels don't seem to make a difference.. Weird.
Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

For me it seems that the reason lies in Bluetooth or just in the BT stack. If I deactivate bluetooth it works fine through the day. But I need bluetooth so I started BT again and the Pixel XL 128GB crashes sometimes 10 Times a day, but as I checked BT was automaticly deactivated after these first reboots. I seemed. The Pixel stopped rebooting as I activated BT and deactivated it myself.
And now? How long do we have to wait. I don´t think it´s a hardware issue.

So, I have this issue but it became (very) apparent only after the OTA Oreo. First two weeks were fine (and subsequently first two weeks after a factory reset I've done), but then it slowly starts doing this after those 2 weeks. Freezes then reboots. At first it's 1-2 a day, now it's like 12-20. Ridiculous. There's a buganiser thread for this issue and Google is aware of it. Most of the bug reports have this in them:
Code:
Sense Key : Hardware Error [current]
which Google rep says is a hardware issue. I also have an access to a Google's internal buganiser thread on this issue (i'm a vendor) and they refer to this being a Toshiba's memory issue. Not sure though why this started happening only after the Oreo update. Also people who flash Nougat report no issues as well. Another funny thing is that there's at least two users with Pixel (XL) 2 who suffer from it. Anyway, I'll be giving it back to my carrier over the weekend (glad we have 2 year warrant here in UK) even though I'm pretty sure I'll get a refurb with a similar problem after two wasted weeks of wait.

Flash nougat rom and see does this problem occur or not? If not then us nougat for a while then again update to oreo

Freezing - Not sure if random

So since about 2 days ago the phone just start freezing. Sometimes it just restarted randomly, but mainly freezing at least every 5 minutes. The power button alone wouldn't turn it off no matter how long I held it. Always have to use Pwr+Vol Down to reboot.
I put up with it because I've been busy, but finally tried wiping cache - no profit. Tried safe mode - no profit. Factory reset- negative profit. After the reset it just seems to restart a bit more often but in general it freezes less, making the timing seem even more random.
This happened when I first got it (used). It was restarting due to the fresh 7.0 update. So a factory reset fixed it and it was smooth sailing for like 3 months or something. I know there was a minor system update a few days ago but those dont usually call for a factory reset. I tried it anyway and it just didnt work. I had actually even tried uninstalling all the app updates from the night before it started happening. but safe mode couldn't even fix the problem so I guess that was moot.

Android 7.0
Mainly I'd like to know if Im alone. A fix would be great but I'm hoping it's not specific to my device. If it's a hardware issue I'm gonna give it a swift toss down the stairs and maybe deliver a nasty curb stomp to it right afterward.
Any advice?

I'm running into the same exact issue. Same build, and am running out of ideas.

Good to know its not just me. Did it start after a recent update for you also? That would give me hope that its not faulty hardware. Maybe just a bad update.

Yes, it started right after I got a small update. I'm hoping a fix will come. (I'm on verizon).

Same for Verizon. I guess I'll just hold out, using a backup phone, until a new update hopefully fixes it.

Gonna go ahead and revive this. It seems to work fine when the sim card is out. I recommend you see if it's the same with you. I've charged it up before work multiple times before work days and come home from to see that it never restarted. I was able to test this using the fingerprint feature; it isn't asking me to use pattern like it does after boot.
No one else is chiming in but, since we're both on Verizon, I'm having a feeling that it's directly related to the SIM/carrier.
