This happens quite a lot to me while browsing the Web on phone. While scrolling down it looks like Chrome has locked up but eventually it starts scrolling again.
Anyone else had this issue and addressed it?

I've noticed on some sites that are meant to load the next part of a webpage before you get to it, this happens and may be what is happening here. Things like ad-blockers and data-saving features in other browsers can help, but by the nature of these sites, it is inevitable no matter what device you are using.
I wanted to chime in and say that I have noticed my chrome locks up too. Came across this article: http://drippler.com/drip/how-make-chrome-faster-android
I am trying some of the tips now. Thought I would share it.
Try to uninstall it and try taking odd the battery and reinstall it once the phone comes back on. I do that to a lot of apps that lag and seems to be working.
I had this issue as well, but it only seemed to last for a couple of days last week. I am on Beta if that matters. I cleared the cache, because thats the smart thing to do whenever anything seems wonky. It also is the smart thing to do anytime. Not sure if it helped or not, but I haven't had the issue since.
I used to get an issue with blank screens when loading pages after the cache started hitting 500mb or so. Clearing the cache fixed that, but that also hasn't happened in a long time. Maybe these things are related. I just wrote it off as the pain of using beta.

Weird problem, had my Evo for a couple of days now and everything seemed fine for the first day but now when I run certain apps like google maps for pandora my Evo will reboot. This doesn't happen all the time but will eventually happen after an hour or two of usage. I did buy a case for my phone, maybe it's a heat issue?

I've had this happen on my hero. It is just clearing memory are you using autokiller ? It started on my hero when using autokiller. It's not a heat issue the led will flash red and green when the phone is hot.
I'm using advanced task killer but I don't think it's set to autokill apps. A hard reset has seemed to fix this issue for now, how do I ensure it doesn't happen again in the future?
It might help to check your preset in autokiller and set to moderate or optimum but some apps use more memory than others so you might see it from time to time. I still use autokiller set on extreme and would only see that once every week or two on the hero. So it's not that big of a deal. You could just uninstall it if it bugs you or to see if it stops. I have not seen it on my evo yet but I am just rooted no custom ROM yet (Waiting for fresh ROM with espresso theme). That might help contribute to it as well.
taziz23, I don't mean to hi-jack your thread but I've been chasing down the cause of random reboots also. I've been searching around for someone with a similar issue and all I've been finding are people talking about the reboot loop caused by an exchange account. I'm not using exchange at the moment so I know that's not what's affecting me.
It sounds similar to what you're talking about. About 30 minutes to an hour apart regardless of whether I'm using the phone or not. It just did it while sitting on the desk next to me with the screen off for at least 15 minutes.
I've hard reset a few times to see if it was related to the OTA, and turns out it happens to both .1 and .6
I've found out that if I don't associate my google account during the initial setup (or any other accounts like facebook, twitter, etc.) it doesn't seem to reboot anymore. Once I do setup an account and set it to auto sync, I start seeing the reboots happening. So I've been playing with different combinations of disabling calendar sync, contacts sync, etc. to narrow it down but so far, I've come up with nothing.
I've even exported my contacts to a .cvs file using my desktop browser and cleaning out any of the <HTCDATA> stuff that links facebook and twitter to make sure nothing is corrupt and reimported them, but as the reboots are still happening, it looks like that might rule out contact corruption.
I had made it through most of Friday before the reboots started. I recall installing the update to Facebook and TasKiller just before it started happening, but have hard reset since then and have not installed either of these again.
Has anyone else seen anything like this?
Two words: Kernel Panic.
Actually, that's just a guess. I'd imagine anything else would cause some kind of error message to show up like a force close for example.
It has happened with my Evo a few times so far. It also happened with my Hero when I use to use that.
It's probably just a module misbehaving which confuses the OS and causes the kernel panic, so I imagine it's nothing more than a software bug.
Yea... I was thinking some KP's might be happening, but if the release build is dated in April, I must have some fluky hardware right?
Maybe I'll run an `adb logcat` and just wait.
I remember the hard crashes on some of the early donut and eclair builds for the Vogue (CDMA Touch) and these are pretty much the same deal. Just drops out and goes straight to the bootsplash.
Regardless of the phone or OS, I've seen this happen on all the phones I've owned. Android is at least open to allow normal people to debug and fix these problems though.
Me too!
I had a seemingly random reboot happen today on my EVO as well... then it happened again.
Both times, I had Waze and Pandora running and was about 30 seconds into a phone call.
Advanced Task Killer is installed, and is set to kill "when screen off".
I'm pretty new to Android based phones, so I'm not even sure where to start with troubleshooting... but found this thread, and thought this info may help.

(P.S. I love this phone so much, right now - I don't even care that it has rebooted on me twice in the middle of a phone call... but eventually the honeymoon will be over, and I'll want this figured out. LOL)
I am having an exact same ISSUE i got it from google I/O its just happened suddenly while you are using it I have no Idea .. Search is also not that great .. Platform need lot of work until it get mature .... I was definately enjoying 1st 2 weeks but not anymore its just killing me now ... Issues after Issues so many Bugs I have start noticing now.. I am not complanning but its just not solid they need to fix this asap... I was enjoying Pre it was slow but I like that OS .. not too much buggy... some apps just Crash randomly .. I was huh .. and its doing more and more now ..
After my hard reset a couple of days ago I haven't had any reboots. I do think it was related to the task killer I think it might have caused some data corruption possibly when killing an application. I set the auto killer to safe in the meantime. If it stats happening again I'll try uninstalling the task killer before I hard reset.
I had the same thing happen, but only once. I was using google maps I think. I also have advance task killer installed. Does the ignore list in advance task killer and setting it to auto kill, kill everything except for what's in the ignore list?
I'm not sure but I did notice that most of my reboots were happening when running google maps..
My Evo rebooted most days 4 or 5 times, day or night, in use or not. The store where I purchased it refused to replace it since I couldn't duplicate the problem to the local technical store. They acted like I needed someone to talk to and not like I had a problem needing resolution. After about 20 calls to customer support they told me to return it where I purchased it and they're sending me out a new one. Apparently no one at Sprint has ever heard that there's this issue. Mine was stock. Period.
I have had some reboot issues that I can't explain. I removed Advance Task killer and it seems to happen less frequent. Maybe once every two days, but never during a call. Waiting to see if this stops with Froyo.
Used to have similar, but less frequent, reboot issues and an occasional "frozen" screen with my previous Blackberry 8830.
I've only had it reboot once or maybe twice for no reason but When I use advanced task kill I almost expect it to happen. And I only use it to kill whatever app I was just using and any other ones Ive downloaded that have no business running.
I have had the same issue, only I am using the full version of Memory Booster..I am going to uninstall it and see if that helps, I also notice that my phone was very hot. It rebooted about 3 times before letting me use the phone again.
Any other suggestions?

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.
Basically for the last 2 months all the apps that use internet have basically stopped loading/take 9-10 minutes, except for chrome and messaging. Pictures won't even try loading on twitter and facebook. Most of the times I try to open up google play the whole thing is just grey and infinitely loads or never even tries to.
Every now and again it starts working like normal and oh boy do i cherish those moments but that happens maximum once a day then it stops. I know it's not a connection speed issue because videos will load quickly on browser youtube and pages load normally. I have no idea why this happened, all of a sudden it stopped working.
None of my other devices do this with my connection. I haven't rooted my device or anything but I still did a factory reset and nothing changed. The only period it worked for like 2 hours was when I change the UI or whatever from blink feed to something like dodol. I've had the thing for like 4 months now COMMON I am going absolutely mental, I have so much work to do and a practically bricked phone is not helping so I will be indebted for life to anyone who can come up to a solution.
Thanks guys.

Hard mode: Run a logcat and have it saved to a .txt file on your PC, let it run for a while, while attempting to open the apps you said give problems, if there is an error that's causing it you can find it that way. A lot of reading though.
Easy mode: Restore a nandroid backup for your device.
I would suggest to restore just the system, boot but not data but your problem might be because of some app in there so you'll have to restore the data as well and start from scratch. Seeing as you already did a factory reset and lost everything, something that you restored has to cause this issue.
So I have had the note 4 (retail version) for a few weeks now. It is quite nice being no root.
The only issue I have started to see is randomly when I unlock my phone there will be a crash report with just a picture of my lockscreen and nothing else. Today I attempted to go into my contacts and it crashed 4-5 times until I waited for a few seconds then finally got in. Has anyone else experienced these issues before?
I have not loaded any apps that are out of the norm, I am fairly tech savvy as I deal with technology for my job. I haven't yet had time to try a full factory reset on it as I also use this as my work phone (I own it though).
Yes I'm getting many crashes at this point and it's very aggravating. First it was Contacts, then other apps including Pandora, a music app, Gallery, and one other I can't remember at the moment. It happens many times per day now (probably about once per hour), though isn't fully predictable yet. Audio has also begun cutting out periodically when streaming music over Bluetooth. I've wiped cache and done a factory reset, but neither has produced a change.

Hmmm, anyone else having issues with this? Wondering if a few bad phones went through the line. I've had quite the busy weekend dealing with being in a accident and such so i haven't wiped my phone to see if that affects anything.
I've been getting the occasional Contacts crash, for reasons still unknown to me. I haven't had anything else really going on though. I've had my phone since December.
Though slightly related, I did have a strange behavior last night where the phone screen would not timeout and turn off on its own, even while on the lock screen. A reboot fixed that. I've never had that happen before.

From what I have been reading in other forums, the " unfortunately contacts have stopped " has to do with google+. This issue just popped up recently and is happening on various devices and different carriers. So it's not just vzw Note 4. Disable or Uninstall updates seems to work. Hopefully the issue will get resolved with a Google+ update.

It's quite interesting how Google+ has been causing issues. I came from the Lg G3. Google+ and Verizon's app did not like each other and would crash constantly until google+ was disabled.
It seems to be noticed mostly with keyboard. And never lasts more than a second or 2 at most and then starts working again. It's such a short pause it's hard to notice unless you are really interacting with the device a lot for awhile like typing a really long message or doing a lot of scrolling. Could easily never be noticed since the pauses are rare and only a second or maybe two and then it's back to normal. I suspect a real update that isn't one of these patches with maybe some kernel optimizations and CPU optimizations will fix it as it seems to be related to something with the CPU or GPU tuning maybe even.
Anyhow if anyone else is noticing such a thing please reply and confirm I'm not alone....it's not biggie, but if I am doing a lot of texting it does become more apparent and annoying...rarely notice it just scrolling on a web page as I read as I probably miss most of the pauses as they happen easier than when doing a lot of typing...basically disrupts flow less then.
I should add the keyboard pauses are pretty much identical whether I use Gboard or swiftkey. Pretty sure any will do it as I get exact same pausing when scrolling around web pages.
I have to add that this gets more annoying the more I encounter it. I suppose it's about once per 500-1000 characters or so...but pretty random so maybe a lot more or less. Just not rare enough to no annoy a few times a day if you are sending lots of messages!
Guess I am the only one noticing this? I hadn't started fresh from the get go....I did bring over all the things from a Mate 9...settings and apps and data and all...but doesn't seem related to any app or anything in particular. Just minutia I think I have noticed in the custom ROM realm that can happen if you get a kernel that isn't optimized well. Somehow guessing it will be gone next update...but L29 first real major optimization update seems to be slow to come. Any word on official Euro launches anywhere? I could see a majore L29 update push setup for something like that when it happens.
Count me in. Typing with swiftkey is better but still got typing issue here and there
Swiftkey is doing same things and so does scrolling...jist more rare with scrolling seems most common in the Google messenger app. I may resest after update...but if my case is unique I figure it's just related to me always restoring messages and such in some apps even if I start fresh. No reason that shouldn't work though. Had always worked on Mate 9.

I don't. Only reason some of that restored this time around was due to the Huawei device migration regime. To me that should work if it's on offer...even if you skip at generation like I did from 9 to 20. It went off without a hitch with only annoyance being it rewrote the pictures and other documents to the 20 X with a new last modified date of when the copy was happen rather than like when picture was taken or last modified. It's still in metadata for library type browsers...but I can't stand the Apple style library browsing regime for some types of files and documents.
Anyhow there is no reason the google messages app should have keyboard interrupting like I am seeing. I have seen chrome stall it's scrolling in similar short pause sort of way also though and it has started fresh. So have to assume it's a combo of things that are partially some lack of optimization in this latest L29 build. Really noticing as I write this it's not happening here...so it's also what app you are typing in specific even. May try the stock messenger and reset messages as I do andaybe return later and see if that helps.
I mostly got this issue with Facebook Messenger, sometime in forum post
