Has anyone else had issues with the Kindle App on the Galaxy Nexus? It will open a few times, but finally freezes while attempting to start. When I reinstall or restart, it will start fine, but that's not really a viable option.
Also, I've been trying out n64oid, and the performance isn't really usable, which is odd, cause it runs on slower phones just fine. What are the chances of an update, and has anyone else experienced this?
n64oid works great for me.. been playing paper mario very well.
Hmm. I went back and tried some of my other roms, and they are working fine. Might just be Re-Volt and Goldeneye. I'll try redownloading them to see if its just the rom, but they might just be buggy.
Still looking to see if anyone else has had the kindle issue.

I've had the Kindle app lock up a few times on ITL41F stock and stock/rooted rom, you can tell right away as it goes black instead of loading the splash-screen, killing the process and then restarting works reliably, it seems to lock up more frequently if you leave a book/ newspaper/ magazine open in the app and then switch to another app.
+1 for Kindle freezing. Annoying but don't forget we are early adopters of ICS and as such a lot of apps will not function correctly for quite some time.

My app still shows the splash screen, but doesn't go any further. (The guy reading the book under the tree)

in fact it ain't only you GNexus users
it used to regularly freeze up my Atrix; or slow it down all the time
No idea how or why thats happening......haven't tried the kindel app on my mum's G2 or any other phone yet
Kindle not working for wife and I either
We both got Verizon GNexus and I think we are going to try contacting Amazon to let them know something's up. We'll inform them of the dedicated thread on XDA if it helps.

Awesome. Hopefully they can sort this out quickly , since the google books apps is lackluster. We really need a known issues thread on here, with updates on how close we are to a fix.
+1 on Kindle issue.
Sometimes opens successfully.
Sometimes freezes on splash screen.
Can't go from Kindle to another app then back to Kindle (multitask), just get black screen.
Have to force-close Kindle to get it working again.
I use the Kindle app daily so I hope they can work it out fast.
+1 on Kindle freezing. I can't find a rhyme or reason for it. When it's frozen I don't even see a running process for it. I have to reboot to fix. very annoying.
Update on my end after getting a GNexus:
Kindle is now very very smooth! No reboots or abnormal freezing like on my Atrix.
GPU forced acceleration is forced on in my dev settings
Still having problems on Gnex LTEs
Kindle app starts up but eventually will freeze and require forced shutdown after navigating away/minimizing it and then returning. No new version released, so either we are a limited number of users and Amazon doesn't need to address it yet, or something is wrong with our setup and we are a minority amongst 4.0.2 users.

Running stock ICS haven't touched anything.
Every time I am in an app and click the home button it loads a blank home screen then takes a while to load everything on my home screen. It didn't use to do this, only started in the past few days. Any ideas?

I was having that issue after I installed a live wallpaper (Microbes). Got rid of that and it went back to normal.

Are you using a custom launcher?Did you touch anything in developer options?
Did you install an app before it started acting up? It may not be fully compatible with 4.0 and causing issues. Also, have you tried to do a simple restart?
Found the issue. It was easy battery saver. Got rid of it and its fine now.

it case it happens again, what your experiencing is home screen redraw. it happens when the android system kills the launcher to save up memory.
this means that when you press home to go back to the launcher, it has to refresh, and redraw everything. and the more you have on your homescreens, and the more apps/widgets you have installed the longer it takes.
i've noticed it happening a lot on my phone when i'm switching between apps and then press home. It's normal for third party launchers but very strange for the stock one to have this so often.
I've had the exact same problem of late (also with the stock app-draw), I imagine it's a case of pinpointing the suspect app that's causing this. It's pretty serious though, a good 2 or 3 seconds and even then it's super choppy until the home screens are redrawn... The joys of early adoption :\
I was just searching to see if anyone else was experiencing this. I get the same over here.
I had similar issue. Something ate all my RAM, but it wasn't listed in 'running apps' in settings . Reboot fixed it
well folks, the sooner you go onto custom ROM the better. I tried ignoring these (and several other issues you are about to encounter) but the list was getting endless
I've bigxie and franco kernel now (4.0.3), not difficult to install, and now most of the STOCK issues are gone...
I've been having some pretty big issues with this phone ...it's unrooted running stock ITL41F still on 4.0.1 in the UK
Its been 7 days that I've owned this phone now. And few times it has just crashed. I could be in the middle of typing something, or anything else just coming out of an app, and the screen will freeze go black. And done! Crashed.
And crashed such that it doesn't start I have to take the battery out and reboot. It just dies. It happened a few times but I was setting my phone up so I let it go but now this is just downright annoying. It happens once in two days or so.
Second, and this is even worse. The phone is not dying but goes in a sort of coma. The screen becomes unresponsive.. and the keyboard doesn't work!! And in most apps only selective touch input works...let's say in whatsapp I was talking to a friend and it was working okay but suddenly it stopped accepting my input for a new mesg. And then I couldn't open another chat. Lots of things started being unresponsive...
I went to the home screen and even the Google search bar ..when I clicked on it the keyboard came up ( which it wasn't coming while middle of whatsapp chat) but it didn't accept any input.
I tool the battery out. Rebooted. And it worked initially but then after a few minutes. Exact same problem.
Rebooted again. But again same problem !! That was a bit of a horror really
Right now it seems to be accepting my text input but ... really don't know what the heck is going on for both these issues above. Any advise will be appreciated
Also yeah I do have quite a few apps installed on this device ... considering its stock ROM this should be safest against a vulnerability but any advise on if I should install one of those anti virus apps on it? Or any sorts of apps that I should avoid which cause such major stability issues with ur phone ??
Cheers

I've only experienced few of your issues.
Coma and reboot happened a couple of time while I was on 4.0.1.
But since getting 4.0.2 a few weeks ago those issues went away.

Definitely a software issue that you're having.

I refuse to believe it is 4.0.1 it has been long delayed in the UK
That wouldn't be the case by Google if it was fixing such serious stability issues with the phone
Why do you come here doling out suggestions when you have no clue?
I am having the same problem again now everything is very slow and even the keyboard doesn't open in even Google search most functions unresponsive
And now most apps are force closing on me
IMDB and now xda app too. The phone is half dead the back buttons don't work either
This is the same thing that happened earlier in the day when I posted, and then the phone worked okay but now its back killing my phone
Anyone has any clue what could be going on ? Also this is the GSM version in the UK on 4.0.1 so only if you have a clue please respond else thank you very much
Now even settings page says its not responding
I can post on xda and it works but when I press back that doesnt.
Back doesn't work in any screens. The settings page not working was a classic screenshot will attach here from a PC.
Sorry for the continues rant folks. Just giving as much info as I can to those knowledgeable folks who might be able to help
The crashes arent stopping ..and the 4.0.3 isn't coming to the UK for some reason either ( which leads me to believe that it has some fixes for LTE which isn't available here anyway)
Aren't other users in the UK facing this crash problem - like once in 2 days or so??

Uninstall some of the apps you've downloaded that run in background. Battery Monitory was causing my phone to randomly reboot every other day or so. I uninstalled it and it was fine.
If that doesn't work, there's always Factory Reset.
My device is a Samsung Galaxy S IIx SGH-T989D. Very similar to the T-Mobile model, but it is Koodo (Telus). It is rooted but running stock ROM.
My problem is that when I install an app, even from Google Play, my phone will freeze about 30 seconds after the install finishes. Works fine until freeze. It eventually reboots if i let it, i usually just hold power button until it turns off. After it reboots it works fine and the app that was just installed works fine.
I've read some other threads with related issues, but none are quite the same. Also only one had a suggested fix that didn't work and it honestly went right over my head. So does anyone have any clue how to fix this? Even just knowing what could be wrong would be nice.

I'm having reboots while using Chrome. For example, if you go to the Play store and attempt to manipulate that navigation box in the upper right corner Chrome either crashes or causes the Nexus 7 to reboot.

I still have random reboots on my unmodified Nexus 7 2013. I've been running KitKat since it was OTA'd to the device a few weeks ago.
It is excellent when I'm in the middle of something and the screen freezes for about 4 seconds, then the device reboots.
EDIT: Hilarious. It randomly rebooted on its own just now. The device had been sitting unused for a number of minutes. Usually doesn't happen more than once/day. It just happened twice in 45 minutes. Usually it happens about once a week...
Anyone have any update/luck with solving it? I'm making a nandroid backup just in case the worst case is I need to have it sent back to the store for a replacement..
I posted this in another thread, with someone asking if a custom kernel will fix the reboot problem plaguing this otherwise superb device. It seems to hold its relevance here.

So, here's my experience with this. I bought my first nexus 7.2, at a best buy in north Dallas, in October. I experienced random reboots, right out of the box, about once a day, usually when I was browsing chrome, or when the tablet was sitting on the home screen without being touched. My gf bought a nexus 7.2 as well, at the same store in November, and she was not experiencing any random reboots, hers has always been stock, to this day (my suspicions began). I figured it was a software, or app problem, and waited for a fix from Google, or my app developers. Tried various custom Roms in the meantime (cm11, dirty unicorns, silmrom, and many more). I also tried various kernel's, in combination with said Roms (Franco, ElementalX, glitch, bulletproof). I had random reboots with all combinations of Roms and kernels. Did a factory data reset after every update from Google, and tried it for a week or so every time. Still experienced random reboots. I finally got fed up and took my table back in early January, to the same best buy in north Dallas. After receiving my second tablet, I kept it stock for a week, and then restored my preferred twrp backup, that I had taken with the rebooting tablet ( stock 4.4 krt16s, xposed framework, ElementalX 2.2 @1.7 and 450, with the motoX dalvik and bionic patches). With the new tablet, I have not experienced one random reboot, either with the stock software, or the custom software.
So, long story short, if your experiencing random reboots, if you have the ability to, I would take it back. Maybe you can fix it with software enhancements, but IMO it just shouldn't do this, stock or otherwise, and warrants a return.
Whatever you choose to do, I hope it works out for you, the reboots were personally driving me crazy, and I'm glad my second tablet doesn't reboot like its got a mind of its own.

With my personal experience, it definitely seems to be a hardware problem.
Thanks for reminding us. Seems to be a hardware problem. Mine still random reboots intermittently. Usually when it does, it will happen maybe 2-3x/day, then go a few days without happening at all. As is the case with me, it happens most often while sitting at the home screen, not in use. I've always been stock.

Same thing with me ... hate this problem, it make it unreliable especially for work and collecting data ...
Mine has been doing it lately also. I noticed it happen the first time about 2 weeks ago. It has done it on 2 different ROMS.
mine does it as well - as well as two other friends of mine who have the same exact models, all purchased at different times. it must be a device issue. there is no point in returning your device if its randomly restarting because youll just get another one that does the same exact thing.
however the longest uptime ive gotten so far was 200 hours with franco kernel r12 and then opened chrome and got a reboot.
also the same thing happened on my nexus 5 in the same day, maybe it was just an incident with google chrome. both devices rebooted.
but im having better luck without random reboots using a custom kernel (franco r12).
I turn off my device every night, so I do not have any random reboot issues. I think a simple restart every 2-3 days will fix this issue
You should always reboot a wireless device MINIMUM once a week to clear out useless data and avoid problems.

Like several others I had Netflix playing last month and had it switch to a tiny screen in the upper left corner. Simply rebooting the box took care of it and I think it happened one or 2 more times then went away completely.
2 days ago it appeared again,cthen again and again. I needed to exit Netflix to fix it each time. Remembered someone said disabling autoplay worked so I did that but it didn't work. EVERYTIME you play a title the next title displays as a tiny screen. Clearing data and rebooting doesn't fix it even temporarily. It happens on both aftvs. They run preroot 51.1.4.0 and have been for awhile.
Does anyone else suddenly have this issue? Has anyone got a fix? Its a weird one--my best guess is an orientation glitch where it thinks its on a device with a much smaller screen like a phone.
Edit--not a valid theory. What's happening is at the end of an episode (credits rolling) Netflix will minimize the show to the upper left. That's where the glitch occurs. It just keeps playing video in that screen. If you stop it before that screen appears the video plays fine. We pay for this. I think we should have a little room to make tiny modifications (like disabling the tiny screen view) That would be useful instead needing to wait for bug fixes.

Thanks! That might not be an option for me (well it is but I risk getting one without rootablefirmware) Mine is stable otherwise. I have to say though I'm a bit freaked out over what I'm hearing--between this forum and another site, I count 4 people in 24 hours complaining their aftv won't power on. My newest one is less than 2 months old. I'm hoping that issue is related to newer firmware and I don't have a ticking time bomb.

You're rooted right? I assume you have CWM installed. Here is my suggestion. Completely rid your FTV of Netflix. Clear cache/data from the app, then uninstall it. Reboot to CWM and clear both cache and dalvik, then reboot. Install Netflix and see if that helps. As for the ticking timebomb, I fear the same thing. Mine is running near perfect and I would absolutely hate to start from scratch again.

Thanks. I try your suggestion when I can and report back here.
I'm really hoping its combo of defective boxes and new firmware causing those aftvs to die. I plan on installing android whenever there's a stable release. Had enough of fire is and the drama. Running a lollipop ROM on 2012 KFHD with overclocked kernel and its just night and day--fast, responsive LOADED with features and minimal bugs.

In my experience you can't rely on clearing the app data alone. Sometimes things persist in the system cache/Dalvik. It looks like progress is coming along on CM12. That would be awesome to have!

UPDATE--This suggestion above worked! I wiped Dalvik cache and the tiny screen went away. I do this fairly regular on my phone with TWRP. Don't know why it never occurred to me here. Probably smart to do this every once in awhile if you have CWM, at the very least it can't hurt. Thanks again!
