Mango users, watch out for unresponsive touchscreen

Title says all. I was just chillin' listening to some music (Let's Get It to be exact) and when I pressed my power button to check and see how fast the WiFi reconnects, I swiped up and nothing happened. It was like that for about a minute or two, the volume rocker worked and I could hold down the camera button and go to the camera, but the touch screen just wouldn't work. I popped off the back and was about to remove the battery and thats when everything went back to normal...pretty odd...just a heads up.
Wifi now reconnects instantly. I am pleased

strange... not had any problems like this at all on mine yet...
Seems VERY responsive, been using it all lastnight over and over and this morning.
what phone you have? im using the mozart

Dammit, I thought I said what phone I was using...I'm on the HTC Arrive. It hasn't done it since I've posted..I highly doubt it'll happen all the time (probably won't ever happen again)..just wanted to mention it.

This happened to my arrive right as it was done updating on the screen that says the update is done...the close button wouldn't work, but I remember reading this thread so I waited it out and it started to work after like 2 min

I am having the exact problem on my HD7, only seems to occur if I am listening to music. The lock screen appears, but I cannot swipe.
Mine doesn't always come back and I have to remove the battery.

I have the same issue every once in a while. I'm not on Mango though, I'm running NoDo on a HTC Surround.
It's happened about 5 times in the last six months.

I've had the same issue since before NoDo. The quickest fix is to try turning the screen off and then on again, sometimes it takes a few attempts but it normally works.

haven't noticed on dvp or anything I wonder if its a htc thing...

I haven't noticed it, though I did get the red screen associated with changing the reg entries to get 32 bit color one.
Interesting side not, when I was updating to Mango, on one of the reboots I got the red screen and thought I was screwed, but the update process continued and on the next reboot it was normal again...

nope havnt come across this yet on my Samsung Focus. The only issue seems to be the increased boot up time(phone stays on d Samsung logo screenfor a long time) but I am quite sure its due to Samsungs crappy bootloader and besides I hardly have to reboot WP7 ever anyway

Hey, has anyone else noticed that weird icon where your signal and data icon should be?
Idk if its the new icon for no signal or what...but when I unlocked my phone, I saw an icon that looked like the copy and paste icon where my signal and data icon should be.

I must say I'm noticing this on third party apps a lot, I don't know whether it's because they are downloading data from the Internet or what but it's happening quite a bit at the moment. LG Optimus 7 btw.

Nexus Rebooting Randomly

Its happened twice that i can remember now.
This morning in bed I grabbed the phone, deleted some emails, opened the browser and the screen went blank with the sound of a slight crackle. It then instantly revooted (google logo popped up etc).
Im concerned the phone is faulty. Is it likely just one of those things or does it sound more sinister?
Hope somebody can advise.

Mine rebooted once the other day. I don't necessarily think that the phone is faulty, it just has bugs that need ironing out.

it's just the apps
it can happen with any android device
just keep an eye on which app is causing it
you can pull out the logs and scan through it

I've been having the same thing as the OP. I get "Android is Upgrading" when it restarts, too.
In additiona I've seen (several times now) that when I press the power button to turn the screen on, it wont accept any input. After 30 minutes or so it spontaneously restarts and goes to the "Android is Upgrading" message when it restarts.
I'm on the verge of RMI'ing the thing as some of the other guys in the office who have it have not had the same problems.
I'm running vanilla sim free version, no operator tat installed.

Are you running a totally unmodified stock rom or have you flashed a custom rom/kernel/radio to it? Kernels are still being worked on and arent perfect yet.
Also Android 4 is still very new and alot of apps are not fully compatable and subject to crashing or crashing the system.
Everything will be ironed out in time

problems with a refurb

hey all-
youve been a great community since ive been around (last december) and i was wondering if anyone had any insight on a problem im having.
I recently got a replacement phone that is refurbished from sprint, because the power button on my old e4gt was completely stuck
when i got the phone i immediately rooted it and went to my usual set up of Blazer 4.1 with the rogue 1.4.1 kernel.
since then ive been having some trouble:
the touchscreen is very wonky, ill be in the middle of texting and it will all of a sudden start selecting things all over the screen. simply turning the screen off and then back on usually works, but ive noticed that the frequency of this is increasing. also the menu home back and search keys all pick and choose when they want to work, and when they dont. sometimes ill press them and they wont work, other times ill be browsing the web and the menu button will start going off and on, without me pressing it.
ive also been experiencing quite a few random reboots, this wouldnt be such a problem however sometimes the phone will just shut off, with the red led light still on, but the screen wont come on when i press the power button. ive also noticed that sometimes the phone will randomly reboot, and then hang on the samsung screen. this has happened a few times at night and caused me to miss class because my alarm didnt go off (lol). when any of this happens i just hold down the power and vol up button to reboot into recovery, and then reboot the phone from there.
the only visible difference i can tell is that under the build number it says: "Blazer v4.1 ~ PI:FG-X^2I^2
i dont remember the last part of that being in any of the previous build numbers; ive been running this build pretty much since it came out, theres just something about the speed, snapiness, and battery life of this gb build that has me hooked.
if anyone knows if these problems are hardware related, or if i just had a bad flash, id greatly appreciate your feedback.
i know this has turned into a long post, but i just have one more question:
i use google play music as my music player, and absolutely love it. my favorite part about it is the fact that i can "download" songs to stay available even when i dont have a data connection, this comes in reallyyyy handy. HOWEVER, i use titanium backup to backup my apps, and when i flash to a new rom and restore play music, it restores all my music, but not the music that i have stored on the device. this is annoying because i then have to wait for a stable wifi connection to download the 500 or so songs that i usually keep on the device. My question is whether or not there is a way to backup all of the cached music, or if i could move the app+app data to my sd card, so i wouldnt have to redownload all the songs when i flash a new rom.
again youve all been a great community and im thankful for all the devs and all the work they do. i apologize for this post being so long, i dont usually post much but when i do ive always gotten the solutions for the problems ive had.
have a great day everyone, and you stay classy san diego

replace
put the phone back to stock and see if these problems still occur. If the do still occur then take it into a service center and have it replaced

i wish i could take it to a service center however when i had the battery out of it someone spilled water on the battery so the water damage sticker is now red even though the water never got on the phone.

Brick it and get a new one. They messed up.

A service center should take the phone apart and check the sticker in the inside. You could also just buy a battery from amazon and use that when taking it in.

Get android assistant from play. It will allow you to move apps to your SD card. Tools>App2SD
Buy a new battery and send that back with the phone if you continue to have issues

[Q] Very strange splash logo screen behavior/won't boot issue

So my Gnex has been working fine since I got it (I am not sure exactly when but it was relatively soon after it came out). I unlocked it but never ended up flashing any ROM or anything. The only issue I've had with it has been that since I installed Google Drive on it about once every hour it asks me if I want it to use Gmail or Drive to perform an action without any other prompt.
Current Problem: The phone will not boot without being plugged in. However, when I do get it to turn on, it gets stuck at the Google logo screen. Something is definitely wrong at this step because a few times the word Google seemed to be popping up all around the screen and shaking around. A few other times at this step the word Google disappeared and then very slightly green stripes started rolling up the screen and slowly getting narrower.
I figure it is probably dead, and I was not able to find any other threads on this but I figure it is worth seeing if anyone else has encountered this.

[Q] Galaxy Note 2 Black screen after cyanogenmod

Hi,
I installed the cyanogenmod 11 nightly like a week ago on my galaxy note 2 and all was running perfectly until this morning.
When I woke up this morning the phone screen was black. The phone is actually working, I can hear emails notifications, phone ringing etc.
The buttons light up when i press them. When I connect it to the PC I can browse the phone contents etc. All seems to function except the screen.
The battery is charged. I tried to remove the battery for a long time and try again but still nothing.
I can't get into recovery or download mode as the screen is blank (sometimes there is a like a weird area at the top where there are like different colored pixels present). I know people will say the screen might be damaged but last night before I went to bed it was all fine, the phone was placed on the table, and this morning when I picked it up screen is blank.
I want to flash back the stock firmware. However I can't get into download mode in order to use Odin. Is there any other way to get into download mode or hardware reset the phone?
Any suggestions are welcomed.
EDIT: The touch screen also seems to work when I touch it as I can for example call numbers for which I had speeddial scortcuts but it is still completely blank.

I think this is hardware issue. You must replace the screen

Yeah I think so too. I've sent it to Samsung.
It was rooted and had cyanogenmode so probably I have no warranty
However I managed to install stock ROM so hopefully they won't (can't) notice.
