So I just bought this SmartWatch 2 from Sony, as I won a €100 voucher that I could use on accessories and the watch cost €125 and I thought, "well, isn't €25 cheap for a (smart)watch?" :cyclops:
Enough with the background story however. I've only had a couple of hours to play with the device and it already froze on me FOUR times. This was only the case when I loaded an app, independent of the actual app that was loading. First it was the music player, then a notes app and finally the calendar twice. The latter freezing the device twice within two minutes. And that's when I decided I had to check XDA for this.
This cannot be normal. Have you had similar experiences? And have you solved it in any way? I'd love to know!
(also on a side-note: is there any word yet on the update I've read something about?)

Freezing the watch you mean? If so, no, I've not experienced that (well not for more than a few seconds while it tries and fails to load the app).

So failing to load an app is normal. All four times the device froze just for a couple of seconds with the home button not responding anymore. That was reason enough for me to long press the power button to reset the device. Do you suppose the device will respond again after waiting just a little longer? I figured, if the home button isn't responding, the device would be frozen and resetting it will fix the issue, at least temporarily.

You'll get used to lags of a couple of seconds a time... Par for the course I'm afraid!

And with the lag, you don't mean the 'vertical loading stripes', do you? When freezing occurs, I can just see the top bar of an app with the actual name of the app, with just white space below. And then the screen dims slowly.

All of a sudden my Captivate is opening and closing my app drawer multiple times, and the phone vibrates as of I am hitting the button to do this.
I am on Cognition 2.16.
I have read that multiple vibes means that FVs are happening, but with the app drawer opening and closing like that, I'm not sure that is the case here.
Any ideas? Of something is FCing, is thee some log I can check?
I'm afraid I may need to do a completely fresh re-load.
Not sure if this is related, but when i first got a captivate the home button was hitting itself and you could see the home button dimming as if it was pressed.
All apps would close themselves, since the home button was being pressed.
Related? I am unsure, but the vibrates are suspect.

Whatever is going on with this thing it is killing me.I'm out of town now, but when I get back, I guess I'll have to try a complete refresh, with a master clear. Doesn't seen anyone has any input, do this must not be a very prevelent problem.
If anyone is paying attention to this little saga ....
I think I need to exchange my phone. I have flasted back to stock build (stock even before the 'fix' that they sent out)...and I just experieneced it do some of the wierd stuff.
I think I'll finish applying 2.17 Cognition, just for kicks...but expect it to still be problematic, and will likely return it tomorrow for a new one.
By the way, I'll add: it was generally acting like it was entering various random keys. Most often, like it was hitting the BACK key. But then it would possibly back through several things, such as opening the APPS, then closing, then reopening.
I could be in XDA app, reading a post, and all of a sudden it would back out.
Really strange.
My second unit did the exact same thing (my first unit had borked wifi). Oddly enough, mine didn't do it either until I flashed my first ROM onto it, but then again that only took five minutes from when I first opened the box. A flash back to stock didn't help. I had to exchange my unit, and have had no problems since. If you're even close to your thirty day window, run, don't walk, back to the store.

Hello everyone!
Let me start off by saying that i'm actually using an unrooted, officially update nexus 5, updated to the latest 5.0.1
I have no problem whatsoever, battery really seem to have improved, but lately i've been getting a strange behavior
After a period of use (it goes from a couple of days to a whole week) the phone oddly slows down when i press the middle button, to return back to the homescreen.
For example, if I'm using the facebook app, and watch a couple of videos along with opening a few external links, when i press the home button, the whole home "loads" from start. I mean, i literally see nothing for a second, then it slowly loads widgets and icons. After it's been loaded, everything works flawlessly again, but if i open facebook again, use it for a while and press the home screen, it loads again.
Mind that i have no custom drawer (i tried Themer, it gives me the same error, it says "loading homescreen" when the problem appears) but the problem is still there with the stock homescreen. I tried force-closing the apps i used, thinking about a memory issue, but to no avail. I have to turn off and turn on the device, and everything works wonders again.
Is there any app that could help me with this issue? I'd like to understand why it's doing this and which app is slowing down my phone.

I am not Sure whether this is 100% sure, But have heard that there is a memory leak issue in lollipop. Which might be the reason of ur problem. And the oly way get enough memory is to restart. But again, I am not Sure whether the above information is correct though.

I've heard that too, but it's strange that it has appeared only now. I haven't had this kind of issue ever since i updated it.
The FB app is just real buggy. My personal theory is whatever that app does exposes the Lollipop memory leak.

Yep i know about that, the FB app is just horrible script-wise. Nevertheless, i've never had THIS problem. And even if i forceclose it, it doesn't solve the problem anyway.
Be warned, posting for the wife... so a lot of this information is second hand.
Pixel has become unresponsive with a black screen twice over the last month. Screen is black, no response to fingerprint, double tap to wake, or power print press, or power point for a "few seconds" (not 30).
Plug the device in, walk away, it beeps with a notification sometime later and appears back to normal.
Battery history shows no big dip in battery and doesn't have the telltale gap in time indicating a reboot. My best guess is a rogue app, but I'm stumped as to how I might troubleshoot given the drastic intermittence, and the fact that it's never happened when I'm around so I can't even call the phone to see if it's receiving calls or similar. Any one have advice at logs to look at or other steps to take to try and figure it out?
Thanks!

try booting into safe mode - This will block any third party apps. If the problem doesn't occur in safe mode, I'd recommend a factory reset and then reinstall apps in batches of 5, run for a few days, and if the problem doesn't reappear, keep adding apps 5 at a time. This will help narrow it down to which app is causing problems.
Good luck!

Problem with that approach is that the issue happens approximately 1x every 15 days. I'd like to think some log would capture information on misbehaving apps that the OS has to swap out.
Hi all, I did a search with no luck, so hopefully this is a valid question!
I have a weird problem with my moto G3 2015 and was hoping you guys wouldn't mind reading about and possibly offering some kind of advice if it's not too much trouble.
Every so often, I'd say at least once a day, the screen becomes unusable until I press the power button a couple of times (to turn the screen off and on again). Even when I do this quick fix, the problem comes back very shortly afterwards. It only goes away after 10 minutes or so, or if I get annoyed and put my phone away. I thought this was a hardware issue but don't believe that now due to the following:
1. It is a different problem depending on the app I am using. In facebook, scrolling is no longer smooth, and doesn't continue scrolling if I flick down the feed. It only scrolls down while my finger is actually on the screen. I am also unable to actually 'click' on anything, only scroll. In Brave (my browser) it acts as if I've just double tapped the screen, as in if I move my finger down it zooms in, and if up then it zooms out. In snapchat when watching a friend's story it acts as if I've held down on the screen in order to forward their snap to somebody else, and then it doesn't respond at all to any touch.
2. The 3 buttons at the bottom are always functional no matter what
3. If the problem begins when I'm in an app, if I go to my home screen, I am able to navigate my home screen and app drawer with no problems. It's as if the problem is contained within the apps.
This started a few months ago while I was running the copy of android that the phone came with. I put on lineage OS (lineage-14.1-20170629-nightly-osprey-signed) and pico gapps (open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20170629). This seemed to fix the problem for a while but then it started again a week or so in.
The fact that the problem is only happening while I am in the apps, and disappears when I exit out of them makes me think it can't be a hardware issue? I am also no expert with phones or android, but am somewhat experienced in rooting and playing with settings etc. (I'm not sure if it happens in other apps I'm afraid, I can test if need be next time it happens).
Thanks so much for any help, and please let me know if there is any more info I can give you!
P.s. The new ROM is much better than the old one.! The battery definitely drains faster though, but that's a whole other problem

That is actually typical behavior on older devices using as many social media apps as you're using. Especially Facebook and Messenger if you're also using it.
Have you tried booting to recovery and wiping cache when this happens?

When I flashed lineage OS I believe I wiped the cache. I will do it again though to see if it helps.

Hi there
If the issue was software related, a change of rom should have solved it.
If the issue is kernel related, all users must face the same issue...but that is still not the case.
So This might be an issue with the screen being old. When the power consumption fluctuates, lcd screens can misbehave.

Has anyone experienced your U11+ freezing up.
It has happened to me about 3 times.
It generally happens over night while it's charging. I get up one of those mornings and the green light is on, remove the charging cable and I can't wake up the phone. I can't even turn off the phone by pressing and holding the power button to kill the device. The only way is to put it into download mode by simultaneously holding down the vol down key and power key, and then when the menu comes up to select the reboot option to get the phone back to normal.
Has anyone else experienced this or know what could be causing this to happen?
The problem is that I use my phone as my alarm clock, and when it freezes up, my alarm doesn't work.
Any suggestions anyone?
No problem like that until now.
However, noticed sometimes that the my alarm, which is setup for vibration only, only vibrates once and then continues silently alarming until I turn it off.
Happens randomly but still strange. I've to try with another clock app.
That's really odd.
I'm going to turn off the always - on feature and see if I get anymore freezes. I had another one this afternoon.
I'll report back after some time and let you know if there has been no more freezes.
I'm just updating to the latest update 1.23.709.3 and see also how it performs.
I'm a bit concerned about this random freezing that I have experienced since I got this device.
If it persists I may ask for a new one.

I'm still on the October security patch so I'm expecting one for the December period soon I hope.
In regards to your freezes I've not encountered anything like that so far been working flawlessly so far if there is anything I can test let me know
I have the Taiwan version.
If you could try the always-on feature for a couple of days and nights and report back, that would be awesome. However, I selected the option, for always-on to only come on when I moved the phone. (good for night time use especially)
I had my phone in the pocket yesterday afternoon and it froze.
As I stated earlier, I can only restart the phone only by putting it into download mode and reboot from there.

I guess I can rule that feature out as a probable cause.
It must be some other app that's causing this issue. But it's a pain to go through the process of finding out which one.

Yeah trial and error isn't fun. I'd probably factory reset though and see if it happens with barely any third party apps installed.

I have the HK model I think and I had the AOD when I first got it, set to motion and nothing has happened to my phone in regards to freezing fingers crossed. I have disabled it for the moment as I noticed a greater battery usage overall, I believe between 9-10% overnight and only 2% when I had it disabled.
Hopefully you find the problem otherwise see if you can get it replaced...
Since not using the always-on feature, I don't have any more freezes. Must be some conflict with the alarms and always-on. Can't see what else could be causing those freeze ups.
My phone surprisingly just froze up yesterday. But at least it's been a long while since not having the always-on feature enabled. With always-on enabled, it seems to have happened every day.
The issue I have most about this, is missing that important call when I haven't realised that the phone is frozen, because sometimes I don't pick up the phone for hours.
I had to do a complete fresh install from scratch and I have no more issues. I believe all my issues came from using HTC's transfer tool when going from u11 to u11+. Importing all the settings features using the Transfer Tool has caused issues. I'll never use this tool again.
All good now.
