Hi all,
I have a fairly frequent issue with my Glide Captivate. Unfortunately too frequently, when I turn it on, the network is disabled (O with slash through it), most widgets say "Loading Widget..." the slide down status menu shows nothing (well except the Wifi / BT / GPS toggles.) and "USB Connected" if it is. Nothing else. The phone gets incredibly hot, and near as I can tell sucks the battery. The screen often won't unlock - it will just light up the 4 soft buttons on the bottom (menu, home, etc). When I CAN get on it, I get frequent "Sorry! Process system is not respoding"
Attempting to go through System / Manage Applications - usually about a minute in the screen will blank for a minute then go back to the lock screen.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Try re flashing the rom, if you're using one. If you're not using a rom, and it's not rooted, try restoring it?

Stock rom, it is rooted. Unfortunately, restoring it is the fix - like every week
Could be a hardware issue if you have a warrenty i would complain and try and get a new one which means you need to flash a non rooted stock rom i dont know if you can do this ive never had to remove root

Hey i had the same issue for months with my glide. I bought it outright from rogers and was just running it stock. Drove me nuts exchanged the phone 3 times. Finally narrowed it down to the media scanner/sd card issue. The scanner would run a few times and then reboot the phone. I tried booting it without the sd card in and booted up fine. Tried a dew diff sd cards and seem to have found one that works, but it would happen once every few weeks for me. Ive looked it up on the forums its that common problem with samsung phones. Pain in the butt. Cant remember if you said you were rooted id recommend trying that im too chicken myself. Happens on my sgs2 also.

I have also this issue once in a while, its very annoying, I think that if we could have a AOSP rom that would fix it since samsung polluted their rom so much. Maybe if we get lucky, with the ICS/JB update that issue will be gone. I have also another issue, the phone randomly turns "off" and becomes really hot, it depends on how long it takes for me to realize, but most of the time, it has drained my battery to near death. I don't think those are hardware related issues, but more on the software side since its not AOSP.
Does the temperature rise when it's charging? Because that happens to my phone too. If you have the voltage control, try lowering the max cpu use to lower the temperature a little bit.

I update to v20c a couple of times, the first time I use machzelet unbrick method using v20c kdz, I had a couple of random reboots and the rom was not rooted, after that I flashed brianlili's rotted v20c images, but I still have the random reboots (but I install a lot of software), I do a factory reset and I don't install any software at all and I will test the stability. Any ideas about the random reboots: could it be setcpu, titanium BK, nobloat or lucky patcher?, any ideas?
Thanks.

All I know is I did the official AT&T ICS Install and it is stable as hell, I haven't had a random reboot or dreaded HoNo/CM boot loop at all.
The only thing I miss is the fact that this is not rootable at this time. If and when this does I will root and stick with stock rom and kernel as this has been the stablest my phone has ever been!

I upgraded mine from stock unrooted gb using the lg update tool. I've had one crash/reboot since yesterday when playing a video from gallery using the stock video player. I don't have any of these apps installed. If I keep on having constant random reboots I'll probably try a factory reset and see if it fixes it.
Never saw reboots on 20c, 10f or other unofficial roms.
I strongly recommend doing a factory reset for everyone who upgraded to V10c, even if you don't notice any problems (yet). It's already fixed issues for many people.
My guess is it will fix the reboots.
20c is really unstable for me; even after factory resets. As much as I like UI, I can't be bothered to deal with it and it's terrible battery life.

No more reboots
After the factory reset that I've done yesterday, I had no reboots today, also I recommend reading this google support post:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=28819
The first application, that I suspect as responsible for the reboots its app manager.
Other possible cause could be battery managers aka juice defender or easy battery saver.
The post mention about kernel panic error, and that it’s caused by excessive memory use of an application, I notice that facebook app use aproximate 100mb of memory, so I uninstall it and use the web site (with dolphin).
Other thing that I’ve done was disable almost all lg applications using the stock app manager.
I will install some other applications and let you know about the stability on weekend.
Bad news, Reboots reapear.
So it seems official, ICS for LG Nitro it's not stable:

I completely agree, ICS update is running VERY stable with great options to disable a bunch of bloatware. Great options until we get a easy root method
I have the worst problem with GPS locating me with ICS. It takes at least 5-10 minutes for me to connect in google navigation. Only problem I've had with stock ICS though.

Google Maps does not have the GPS lock problem. It's the navigation app that has problems getting GPS lock. It'll be stuck on the screen that says "Searching for GPS"

I use to have this problem in GB, I read in a post that it's related with the servers used in the file /system/etc/gps.conf. You can use an app called FasterFix (require root) to solve this problem.
Has anyone had any issues while Charging with the cable that came with phone?(yes I've tried others) My issue is phone Will charge to 88% and stop but says still Charging. It Will Not increase unless I dissconnect and reconnect cable. Then it Will only go up 5% . I have to repeat this 5 times to achieve a full charge. I spoke with a tmobile tech and he told me it could be because I have certain apps like showbox and Google now launcher, really never had this issue before. This began even before i rooted phone. Any suggestions? Phone is stock with root and exposed but problem began before root remember so don't blame exposed, never dropped or touched liquid.

I would swap/warranty exchange that phone. I only charge my phone with it turned off, but it fully charges every time. We have 3 LG G3s in the household and none have ever done this. It sounds like the battery may be bad though.
No problem here

You stated it was doing this before root. Was it also before these apps? Have you tried a factory reset to see if it corrects the issue?
I got it out of the box with the issue. When I put in my Gmail it automatically loaded them apps. I talked to tech, removed the apps in question and it worked. Rooted about a week and still worked, removed tmobile bloat still worked. All of a sudden with nothing new added in weeks my problem has returned. Also have done factory reset with no luck

Pretty much sounds like a hardware malfunction
If any of you are having Lag, slowness, signal issues, bad battery life, etc. and/or other weird glitches after the lollipop update you need to factory reset your phone.
This is a know bug with updating from Kitkat to lollipop. It has happened on many devices, Nexus 5, nexus 7, Shield tablet, N910A etc.
Just factory reset your phone and re-set it up and most if not all of the problems will be gone.
From my brief understanding it has to do with some downloaded apps not switching from davlink to ART correctly during the OTA process. Facebook on my shield tablet was a notorious culprit.
Just an FYI hope it helps a few people out.

We did have one person factory reset to attempt to solve the "heart rate light turning on" bug, and it did not solve the problem.
Have you noticed this bug or used S Health yet?
One list I always go through is: update, update all apps, boot into recovery, wipe cache, and reboot twice. Works great and I know a bunch of others see similar results

Luckily I was already running ART prior to the update to 5.0.1, so I haven't seen any of these issues yet, and hope none crop up. :good:
Luckily I haven't had any of the glitches a few people have mentioned. However, my friend with an S5 needed to factory reset hers after being pushed the lollipop update and it smoothed everything out. Just like when flashing a ROM guys...starting fresh helps a lot.
Anytime there is a major change to an OS, whether it be on my PC/Mac or my phone, I always factory reset and start over. ALWAYS. Too many little bugs and quirks pop up in software upgrades for me to waste my time with that stuff. I'd always rather start fresh...plus then I can weed out the apps I don't use anymore.
As an old habit, I always do a system reset after a major upgrade. I did the same with this upgrade and it has been running pretty smooth for me.
I am now experiencing lag in a bunch of places, yet I did a factory reset.

I did this right here cause I noticed my battery was draining a good amount when the phone wasn't being used. After this and a full charge, the phone went back to how it was before.
I wiped cache and factory reset 3 times and I haven't experienced any of the aforementioned issues.

This is what I did. I had absolutely no issues with the update.
The minor issue is the quick note app pops up very slowly. But that is fairly minor, and not significantly different from kitkat.
factory reset
I rebooted a couple of times after the update, and wiped cache in recovery. Still experienced lag all over the place, especially w/ the dialer. I factory reset last night and it's been running more smoothly since.
Has anyone noticed that when booting into recovery, it says "installing system updates"? I even got a message, before the recovery screen popped up, that "no command found". After that popped up briefly, the phone went into recovery and all seemed fine.

This update to lollipop on the note 4 has been the best update experience that I've had on any phone. Love it. And yes, factory reset solved many issues that were honestly minor and I really didn't feel I had to, but I did bc I'm crazy. ..but it was worth it.
Back up phone via kies, I am impressed it worked great.

I'm going to try this again. I've already done it before but hopefully this will fix my problem.
On 4.4 I went 2 days with heavy usage. It was insane! I use my phone a ton at work for RDP, videos, and other IT related stuff. Now I can barely go 1 good full day.... Really hope this fixes it.
My update went well without any troubles, but now I am few weeks into using Lollipop and I definitely notice faster battery drain. I also have disappearing icons, just like others complained (Google Hangout and Phone icon disappeared).
I'm not experience a lot of major issues....but I did do a recovery reset....but I reinstalled via kies. I'm planning on doing a recovery flash again....but this time I'm not going to have it install the apps.

I'm not experiencing this I'm actually getting very good battery life. Don't know if you have disabled the system apps you don't use???
Also something I always used to do when I had the T-Mobile note 4 rooted of course, I always disabled Samsung push services it was always recommended. Don't know if it would make any difference but you can give it a shot.
I have all the apps I don't use disabled and it still hasn't been helping. I'm thinking about calling ATT and getting an exchange

I was getting a ton of those random lock ups and crash to lock screen, disabling fingerprint reader made it stop but was wondering if there an alternate fix for this so I can enable the reader again?
What ROM are you running? Updated to OJ6 yet?
Have you removed Knox and ItsOn? They're not friendly with rooted devices. Have you applied this line to build.prop:
ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1 (save and reboot)
Or, did you enable aggressive desktop in Nova or equivalent launcher?
You could help the issue with factory reset. Sometimes, users get some relief with cache and dalvik-cache wipe, but not always. Backing up keep sakes to extSdCard and multiple wipes of everything but extSdCard and data format and flash ROM again have been recommended in extreme situations; it seems to be becoming the norm for clean install- not just for CM to TW conversion or update prep. You can also delete Android folder on extSdCard and install minimum apps to localize or add apps individually until localized or happiness found.

I'm on stock everything OJ6, not even rooted or tooted.
OTA, KIES or Odin for update? Did you factory reset prior to update?
If you were rooted before, did you wipe everything except extSdCard and format data and power down, remove battery greater than 30 seconds prior to Odin or KIES? If you didn't, try a factory reset.
There were plenty of stock complaints about the fingerprint unlock in OG5. It's a shame if it's not fixed in OJ6.
Anyone rooted on OJ6 and using fingerprint unlock having problems?

It's not fixed in OJ6
Root it and 'tude it. I used the fingerprint unlock for a short period in OG5 with the settings above with no problem I can recall.
There's been some memory management improvement. Disappointing to hear update didn't fix stock.
I haven't made the jump to OJ6 but I'll do some more testing then.

It was an OTA update. I don't think the phone was ever rooted, I got it from EBay but it came in complete original packaging in pristine condition.
Since disabling fingerprint the phone is running sooo much better, all the random lag and crashes are completely gone and battery life is great. At 57% remaing with ~16 hours since charge and ~3 hours screen time of watching YouTube vidoes, browsing Reddit and playing Fallout Shelter.
I was so excited to get this phone and all that lag and crashing kind of made me question my decision but now I'm getting the performance I expected. I'm coming from a Note 2 so it is a pretty big increase in features and performance. Hopefully they sort that issue out with Marshmallow. From what I've read we should be expecting some time around February.

The 1st generation finger scanner was junk at release. I've tried it recently and surprisingly, it's actually improved.
Perhaps a good many of us that would have cared, gave up long ago on the scanner? You might do a little better with root to wake for finger scan but no guarantee.
Sounds like you're enjoying the phone without the scanner unlock. Most likely not the hardware other than a poor excuse for a copied feature and don't care attitude for the new bug in Android 5.1.1 OS they carried over from OG5 to OJ6. Samsung is still feeling their way through their slump, hopefully, they're learning from mistakes.
That's not bad battery stats. Did you factory reset it? I've seen phones coming from KitKat to Lollipop having two different type file systems in /data/app folder and dalvik cache folder. I think this would make a phone lag and get warm. It's the reason I recommend clean installs and factory resets, especially when updating Android sdk rev. I mention this because the random reboots seem off even for scanner.
