[Q] ATT One X Display Phone - Strange Issue - HTC One X

I'm very keen on buying this phone tomorrow and was in the ATT corporate store and found a very strange issue on the live display unit. Everytime I opened any app and hit the home button it would take about 5~7 seconds before showing the home screen. I tried playing with the settings but it did not help. I also restarted the phone but the issue still persisted. I new to android platform (coming from iPhone) and looked at the setting (related to personalize). After talking to the ATT rep he mentioned that few folks have also complained about it but was not sure why this happens. He then suggested that they will return this unit so battery can be replaced or we can reset the phone to factory settings. I took his permission and attempted the reset After reboot the phone worked normally with absolutely no lag.
Q1. Is this a known issue? Are folks with this phone experiencing this after a extended time of use. Does anybody know what this lag might be due? Any specific wallpaper causes this lag. I tried changing wallpaper but it did not help
I really want to get this phone but if the above issue is rampant then I want to hold off buying it tomorrow.
BTW: I tried buying it today at target (mobile store managed by radio shack) they were ready to sell and went thru the upgrade process but just before the last screen it blocked them from selling (radio shack corporate policy) cannot sell the phone today but will sell it tomorrow.

Settings -> Developer options -> Don't keep activities.
Some people have had to switch it on, come out of options, go back and switch it off. (the tick was incorrectly cleared, whilst the option was on)

thanks
Thank u for your feedback. Can u elaborate on what caused it? Sorry from your feedback I could not figure out the cause.

From what you described (7 second delay coming back to sense) it's not a lag (or sense crashing as some have described it). It's sense reloading.
The Android UI is based on activities, they stack, and the history is typically kept, until Android decides to kill an activity, usually due to low memory available. If activities are not kept, they have to reload from scratch.
Since Android can take away a previous activity at any stage, the developer must save its state when transitioning to a new activity. By not keeping activities, it's easier to test that each activity is correctly saving its state.

Random Restart

So far today, my Evo has reset itself about 4 times. That is within the past hour and a half. I've had it since Monday and had no other issues with it doing this until today. The only app that was added in the past 24hrs was the Wireless Tether for Root app. I don't know what or why this is happening. I've just uninstalled Unrevoked, Superuser Permissions, the Overclock Widget, and the Wireless Tether to see if that is causing the issues. Anyone else have anything similar to this happening?
Also, I changed the "always on mobile data" setting to off yesterday. That increased my battery life dramatically. I was able to leave the phone on for a solid 11hrs with it still having 60% charge left. Then today, before I changed any settings at all, unplugging the phone from the charger for about 2hrs has resulted me in being down to 45% battery. Could mobile data always on being off cause the rebooting issue?
Same thing was happening to me when I unchecked that. Checked it back and all rebooting issues went away.

Since I posted that message I had two more reboots. Just ticked always on mobile data back on and am waiting to see if that stops it...
EDIT: No more reboots since reenabling mobile data always on...weird
I've had the always on data feature turned off since day one to conserve battery life and i had not experienced the random shut offs until yesterday. Since yesterday however my phone has restarted itself no less than 20 times. Several times while I was sleeping so this is defiantly a real problem but I dont think its related to settings. ill be contacting HTC tonight
I have had always data off, ticked it on this morn. And started getting the reset issue...

Random restarts are often indicative of the battery not sitting in properly.
Remove the battery. Scratch up the contacts. Insert back firmly...
I am also having this same issue. I turned my phone off this morning because i wouldn't be using it and then i turned it back on in the afternoon and then my phone just started randomly restarting itself. There is no rhyme or reason to it. It has just been happening all by itself. It has probably happened 10 times in the last 4.5 hours.
I took the battery out for a minute and put it back in to see if it will stop the issue, but i'll have to wait and see. However, when i did turn the phone back on i got a weird pop-up message on the main screen that said something to the effect of, "Operational failure, please use su command." Then it faded away. Anyone know what that means?
As mentioned above, turning always-on mobile back on, took care of my restart issue.

I'm getting the same issue. At first i thought it was ATK, so i uninstalled that. Then I though it was lookout, so I disabled that. But it still keeps happening. I have mobile data off too, but for days, and it hasn't affected it one way or the other.
The odd thing is, I was running xiiLive Lite last night streaming the radio all night, and my phone stayed up the whole time, while plugged in (at least 8 hours).
I don't know what the deal is, but my phone goes about 24-48 hours without a spontaneous reboot, and then it will start doing it 4-6 times a day. Anyone have a good logging tool would be nice, as I'm somewhat new to Android.
Thanks!

I had mobile data off for a few days with no reset issues. Then I installed a few apps from the market (not the ones you mentioned) and then the resets started. I uninstalled the newest apps but the resets kept happening. Then I turned mobile data back on and no more resets in the last 24 hours.
my evo is randomly rebooting and I never modified the settings that some of you are talking about. My also gives me random issues where when i try to open an app it will open for a split second and close? I am also having my phone lock up on me several times a day and i have to pull the battery to reboot it! I took it back to the sprint store and they insisted on reloading the software on the phone and it made no difference.... does anyone have any suggestions or similar issues?

I had the apps closing after a split sec too but I found out that it was for apps that didn't play nice with the snapdragon cpu; like the Gameloft game Nova and a few of their other titles.
for me its stock apps like the navigator, video player etc. I am thinking i might have a defective unit.

Yup! That does sound strange! Did you root your phone? I'm rooted and all the stock apps that I've tried, seem to open and work fine.
nope! not rooted, 100% how it was out of the box. Luckily my pre was still active so i video taped it freezing up and stuff so im going to show the tech at the sprint store so hopefully they can order my replacement.
I also have a fully stock phone, some apps installed, but none recently, and yesterday it rebooted itself, twice more today.
I haven't changed the settings mentioned earlier, and haven't done anything I can think of that would cause the rebooting.
I am also having issues where I can't get an IP address on my wireless network, but I'm not sure it's related. I just noticed these 2 problems in the last 2 days, and it's the only thing I can think of that's out of the ordinary from the weeks prior to this happening.
I think I'll take it to Sprint tomorrow and see what they have to say.
Keep us updated on what happens. It seems to take a day or two for symptoms to start, but when they do it goes crazy rebooting!
...more discussion on this issue has been going on here too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=702379
I'm not a professional android user and don't know much about it yet, but mine's rebooted a few times as well. I haven't rooted my phone but the ONE thing that seemed to have resolved the continuing issue is doing a hard reboot:
Menu > Settings > Privacy > Factory data reset
It's been 4 days and hasn't rebooted since.
EDIT: It's been 6 days now and still no reboots.
Angry Apps Eating my RAM!
I think what everyone is missing here that maybe the root of the problem is low memory.
I'm not talking about storage on the SD card. I"m talking about the memory the OS has to run.
I've fought long and hard with this low memory problem seeing as I have owned a g1 for almost 2 years.
THERE IS NO REASON THE EVO SHOULD EVER GET DOWN TO UNDER 30MB OF SYSTEM RAM!
I equate this issue to the same issue many people had with Windows computers and applications that start up in the system tray! We don't need most apps to run in the back ground on start up just in case I want to use it. The few seconds of time it shaves off of starting up the app is not worth the slower OS boot up (applies to Windows mainly) or the major slow downs they cause the OS's to have.
I don't need Sprint TV running on boot!
When I used a clean slate scene I still have all of these same issues. Random reboots, slow OS and apps, ect.
I have no idea why Android would allow that much RAM to be used for background apps. I don't understand why we have no way to see what programs run on boot unless using a 3rd party app.
Most apps are so crappy that they run in the background all the time and have no way to toggle if they run on boot and I'm not talking about apps that modify something all the time I"m talking about apps that ONLY need to be running once you open them. An example would be Swipe, I understand the need for that app to run on boot. It modifies the OS keyboard and would need to be running in order to work correctly when ever you enter any text field that pops up the keyboard for input.
An example of programs that don't need to be running on boot or should at least give you an option to toggle boot start up are; Sprint Navigation, Sprint Updater (No idea what this is for), Updater (Android?), Sprint Zone, doubletwist, SprintTV Widget (I'm on the clean slate profile with NO Widgets), VoiceMail (I use Google Voice, is this needed?), Sprint Football Live (It's not even Football season!), MP3 Store (I have yet to use on the EVO but is running just in case, thx), as well as many others.
I have 35 apps running in the back ground! WTF? Thanks ****ty app devs and bloatware Sprint!
Have fun try to find options for each app and figuring out each service to know what it's tied to so that you can have a phone that it powerful and run smoothly.
It really shouldn't be this hard or as much of a pain...

This is where I am so lost with Android. I read many blogs saying Android does not need a task killer and using one will only make your system slow down. Well I tried one anyway because it's in my Windows Mobile nature to do so (old habits....). I noticed that I too had 35 or so apps running in the background and I thought that doesn't sound good, I wanna kill them all. But then what Android pros keep telling me is to let them be and that the OS will kill them as needed. But from what you're saying, it sounds like the OS doesn't always do a good enough job. So my confusion and learning process of Android continues......

GPS usage crashes phone.

I applied the OTA update and every time an app tries to use GPS my phone restarts. The GPS icon blinks about 3 times then the phone turns off. I disabled GPS and still have 'find by WiFi' on and Google Maps gets pretty close. I also did a master reset and formatted my SD card. Last ditch effort I updated my PRL and profile. No dice.
Other thoughts: Amazing phone and I want 2.2.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I believe (using the GPS for 2 days with no crash) I was able to fix it by going into the bootloader [power button and volume down] and selecting "clear storage". My guess is that doing a master reset from withing the phone didn't clear everything.
Exchange your phone
I have had the same problem. A week ago monday after Sprint pushed OTA update phone worked even better than when I first purchased. For two days that was, I recieved a gmail, opened through notifications and from that moment on my phone has become a nice musical lit-up papper weight. I had a Hero before and NEVER had a crash or reboot. My Touch Pro was another story. I have done now 3 hard resets. After number two I only installed updates to Sprints bloatware(sprint nav) and google branded apps. Two days later I recieved a google-talk message and uppon opening it, it all started over again. I can reproduce this rebooting by launching any gps software with gps set to on. Sprint nav not only causes reboot but wipes credentials that you enter when you first launch app. I can launch gps programs if the GPS settings are ALL turned off(both switches). Of course I have to log into Sprint Nav again after every crash. I thought this was fixed after my last hard reset, I have not downloaded anything (no root)or installed any apps since my last reset. I just got past my 30 day but I am going to RAISE HELL later today, obvously this is unacceptable in a new phone(flagship), SPRINT and HTC were notified last week. They did take notes but they are going to try to get me to submit a claim rather than exchange. Neither Sprint or HTC seem to know shi* about this rebooting issue. Obvousily nobody checks sprint user forums. I urge anyone with crashing/rebooting to take back for exchange. Do not waste time trying to fix yourself. I fixed myself 3 times only for the random rebooting to come back within 48 hours. No 3rd party apps other than Sprint(I was afraid to download anymore). I won't even talk about the screen splitting from the base of the phone, I doubt they know anything about this issue either. So my state-of-the-art smartphone is now a 4g less, crappy 3g service, non functional gps, musical (splash screen) papperweight. This was the only phone that I have waited very impatient for and this whole experience has left a VERY bad taste in my mouth. They even screwed the launch of this device. Best Buy and Radio Shack were the only ones taking preorders and Sprint screwed the activation and provisioning up the day of launch as well. I wish I could hate this phone, I would terminate service with Sprint after this experience.
im runing OMJ 1.6 which inclues lastest OTA and and last night i opened maps it asked me to turn on gps and when i did i had constant force closes had to take the battery out to make it stop, couldnt do anything because everytime i did force close it reloaded the system but force close again.
I have had this issue since I got my phone June 5, anything that requires the gps shuts down the phone. I have been waiting for a replacement phone from Radioshack for 3 weeks. I have tried resets, updates with no luck. A local Sprint tech looked at it and told me he thought it was a hardware problem with my phone.
UPDATE
This morn I took to a Sprint repair center. After looking at the device she said that there was water damage and that the stickers had turned red. She also said she found the GPS reciever loose and soldered it back. Funny thing is is that me EVO has never been dropped or near water except for the spray that was used for my invisasheild. I was extremely careful about the aplication, in fact I screwed up because the first application wasn't wet enough. Also I have a PRO2 and Hero as well and as you prob know the batteries are interchangeable. As a result I am constantly swapping batteries because my EVO loves to kill batteries pretty quickly. I think I wold have caught the stickers turning. Also with all the problems I know I have looked to see if there was water damage. Of coure she never produced the stickers and they have now been removed. As I right this right now I am waiting for my EVO to reboot again. NOW I HAVE NO SOUND AND HAD TO HARD RESET MY PHONE! Oh and the repair person said I had too many Apps as well. I brought the phone in this morning with its default settings and apps. If there are too many apps than thats your fault not mine. I am soooo pissed about this whole experience, it's got to the point that I am actualy starting to laugh because Sprint seems so incompetent.
This afternoon I was showing my phone to a client and I launched the normal GPS apps, Google maps, Navigation, GPS Status and CarLocator. As soon as I enabled geotagging on my phone crashed/rebooted. To fix it I went to the bootloder and cleared the storage so that everything would go to stock settings. So far I haven't had a crash yet. I can handle not having geotagging as long as everything else works. Though it is a great feature to have .
Now my phone restarts even though geotagging is off. Anyone know of I can reflash my Evo though the HTC rom manager on a computer? I think putting the default rom would narrow it down to hardware or software.
I did hard-reset on Friday morning and installed all of my apps and then some, but did not install wheatherbug elite which worked fine on my Hero and worked fine on EVO for three weeks prior to Sprints OTA. So far so good,wil post results in fuure. No reboots so far and its been over 38 hours. I read on another forum that WB does not release GPS even after uninstall. Will post results in a day or two.If this is the fix by sprint/htc than give me back my phone with no updates!
???????
Ok, right after I posted my last post I recieved a phone call, durring wich the battery died. I replaced battery with a fresh one, powered on, launched sprint nav, and it rebooted. **** so much for the weatherbug idea..... After reboot I launched google maps, again reboot. I have not installed any apps since noon friday. I have played around non stop with ALL the apps and settings and have not changed anything since friday afternoon. Its 1:15 Sunday morning and nothing has changed on my phone for around 36 hours! Is this a software problem or hardware problem? Software problem means I will wait untll sprint fixes their update wich seems to me caused all this or is it a hardware issue that I need to figure some way to replace even though no EVO's can be found?
Spoke to HTC this morn, htc says that this is a known issue affecting some of their customers and that the carrier (Sprint) should have replaced it already. Even though I bought at Radio Shack. Because sprint has acted so unbelievably incompetent HTC is going to send a new unit in 4-5 days. So anyone having GPS problems and did the OTA should have their phone replaced. Those are not my words but HTC's. Also she explained that my first call for help should be HTC not Sprint. She claims she could trouble shoot better than Sprint. Also advised that Sprint tecs are worthless. I could have told her that.
Evo reboot fixed
-------SOLUTION FOUND-----------EVO REBOOT---------------GPS REBOOT-----------
Step one, call Sprint and get your msl code (unlock code).
Step two open the phone dialer and press “##GPSCLRX#
Step three input the code given to you from sprint (phone will reboot in 20 seconds)
Then launch your GPS programs and you will notice they work (at least for moment)
I will keep my codes on hand for the more than likely event that after 24 hours of use it probably will reoccur all over again.
I am on my second EVO now and I have painstaking already gone through all the hard resets and troubleshooting apps. Repair store and service calls to both Sprint and HTC as well. This is the first time I have gotten the phone to work after the GPS reboots without a hard reset.

[Q] Erratic Multi Touch / Continuous Force Closes?

First off, I purchased my Nexus 7 on the 26th from my local Gamestop. 32GB WiFi. Since then, I've had a number of issues with the device, and I just want to know what you guys think on what I should do.
First, I'm one of the users affected by the erratic multi-touch issues on the touch screen, (meaning that the screen will hit stuff by itself without my input). It's only happened to me once, so shrugged it off because i figured its more of a bug, if anything. As I've looked on this forum and found that multiple users are actually affected by this issue, so part of me thinks it may be a hardware issue, but on the other hand, it could be a software thing.
My second issue happened just a couple hours ago. I clicked on the screen to see that my wallpaper was reverted back to stock and was then bombarded with continuous force close after force close (we are talking every 2 seconds on the dot, literally). I clicked The Play Store and it logged me out as well. So I signed in and then cleared data and force closed all of the Google Services and framework and stuff. The force closes seemed to stop, and everything seems to be okay as of right now.
I'm thinking of returning it and getting a replacement, but something tells me that this may be software issue instead of a hardware issue, I'm not really sure to be completely honest.
So I ask you guys if you've ever experienced any of the problems mentioned above or something similar. I'd like to wait it out, but as said before, a return may be the best thing to do. Any opinions are welcome.

[Q] LG G3 - Sprint stock having ISSUES after update

I've had the LG G3 through Sprint since last September. All was fine and great with it with Android 4.4.2. Ever since the 5.0.1 upgrade I've had some pretty consistent issues.
1. Laggy on the home screen - hitting home means maybe 2-3 full seconds of blank screen before the icons populate and the screen returns to the designated home screen as opposed to where it was when I entered an app.
2. It destroys app processing VERY quickly - too aggressively. What is the point of 'multitasking' if I leave a game/app to respond to a text or gchat and use the menu/multitasking menu to get back to that game/app and it restarts it like I hadn't been JUST USING IT.
3. ALL BROWSERS on the phone sometimes ***** to me that they can't connect to a Proxy Server. Really? I'm not set up for proxying ANYWHERE. There's also no config to specify that or to specifically turn it on or off.
4. My LTE/3G sucks now. It will consistently downgrade to 3G or just drop all connections. Turning off/on mobile data or doing restarts only sometimes fixes it. I take the Metra to work (above ground train) and before the upgrade I didn't have these issues. I'm also having this issue RIGHT NOW and I'm on the wifi at work. It won't connect.
5. Smart Cleaning doesn't work. It grinds for a minute and then pops me over to the main screen or to the multitasking screen. WTF?
It also takes a while to restart. And I've done all the System Updates (PRL, profile, firmware etc).
What I have NOT done is a factory reset - I just don't want to go through the hassle of that if I don't have to. Though I'm certainly open to the suggestion if it'll solve problems for me. I'm just not understanding if that would work if there's some underlying software/antenna/connection issues.
PLEASE - suggestions are very welcome! I'm very frustrated with this phone. I wish I'd rooted at 4.4.2 and gone with a custom ROM.
TL;DR version
Having laggy issues - what does a Factory Reset gain me in this circumstance? Will it actually fix these kinds of issues? (see above message)
I was having the same exact issues. I finally bit the dust and did a factory reset and it's running 200% smoother now.

No response bugs

Some background info.
I bought my pixel XL from the Google store and I believe it came with the 63L build out of the box. I have since made it a point to completely wipe and fastboot flash the latest image Everytime an update is release, right now I am on the 26U build. The only thing I have done to my phone (and these bugs happen before and after) is bootloader unlock and root.
The bugs.
Every once in a while, my volume controls will quit working. I notice it happen more if I cast to my Chromecast and play a song or video (seperate) on my device. I'll hit the volume button and literally nothing will happen. To fix this I usually have to turn the display off, wait a few seconds, wake it back up, then the controls work fine again. I do not believe it is a hardware issue because i can fix it Everytime it happens.
The second bug, probably the most annoying, is that my nav bar will become completely unresponsive occasionally while in landscape orientation. Say I'm watching a video on YouTube in full screen, if I swipe to pull out my nav bar and hit the home/recent/back button, nothing will happen. I will see the animation however no vibration (feedback) or a action occurs.
This happens in games, YouTube, web browsers, doesn't matter as long as my phone is in landscape mode. Also note that when this happens, my device refuses to rotate back to portrait. This leaves my only solution (same as the volume bug) to turn off the display, wait a few seconds, and then I back on. Sometimes, however, this don't even work, and I'll have to jump straight to settings from my lockscreen to force the phone to portrait where the functionality of the nav bar returns.
I've contacted google, they run me through the typical steps "delete cache, have you tried a reset, update to the latest software", but nothing fixes it. They have told me repetitively it's not a common problem and it's not a problem that's worth rma'ing over.
I've been discovering my pixel has many small issues that no one else has. Such as the horrible transfer speed explain in my earlier thread, these bugs above, refusing to charge when the device is off, etc.
Has anyone had similar problems?
@noidea24,
I've had none of those issues. In fact, my Pixel XL has been flawless.
Not good. I guess I'm going to try and force a RMA.

Sorry to nit, but when I read the statement above I can't help but wonder if you actually did a factory reset. Reason I say that is you stated "have you tried a reset" and you didn't explicitly state that you did.
I kind of doubt the responsiveness stuff you're referring to is hardware related, it's probably software.
Whether or not a rogue app is affecting your device or a root app is impossible to determine without doing a factory reset and carefully adding one app/change at a time until the problem comes back. It's a PITA but that's what I'd do first to rule out hardware, and I'd simply run email and messaging apps unrooted for at least 24 hours to rule out hardware issues before I start loading up my favorite apps.

It's a PITA but that's what I'd do first to rule out hardware, and I'd simply run email and messaging apps unrooted for at least 24 hours to rule out hardware issues before I start loading up my favorite apps.

A factory reset is far from a pain in the ass, and yes, i have done it many times. the only things that makes it suck is when i have to transfer files back to my device because (as mentioned) i have terrible transfer speed from pc to device.
i have literally done everything i can to make this devices worth the price, and things are only getting worse. Since the post (later that night) i factory flashed once again, and re locked the bootloader. No root, No extra apps, hell, the only apps i had on my phone to begin with were facebook messenger, and that pixel car racer, i dont use anything else. ive had an even worse bug come in where my phone completely freezes when opening google camera and swiping to the video section. ill have to hold power until it force resets.
ive been with xda since my Motorola droid, Ive built roms for the community for my lg g2 and my nexus 6. hell, i even built kernels for my 5x (not public), so im a little past your average user complaining about some things that dont work due to user error. these are legitimate device flaws and malfunctions, and i was simply asking if anyone else has experienced them. and since it seems no one has, i have deemed my device faulty. now i have to come up with $600 for a service hold to get it replaced.
My experience with Googles first official flag ship has been pathetic, and im hoping that this replacement device i get (eventually) will persuade me not to go back to my 6p.
Well if that's the case then yeah I hope a replacement device will solve your issues. Sounds like it will.
Didn't mean to rile you up, just looking for clarity.
Good luck!
