I installed the Joying 7inch model in my car this weekend, and I'm generally happy with the unit. However, I've run into some severe lock ups due to some sort of processing bottleneck. Basically, I turn on the car, connect to my cellphone hosted hotspot, and then I can't get the unit to operate. Play Music hangs at the start up screen and I get the same result from other apps. I've hit the "rocket" button to clear the cache and clicked on the app switching button to kill all apps..with no impact.
Tonight the whole unit restarted on my way home and then it seemed to operate the way it should.
Does this sound like a softeware issue? Would the Maylesk ROM improve this situation?
These things tend to happen, and ironically I've had it happen to my phone when syncing bluetooth to certain car stereos. Same deal, only way to get it to work again is a hard reset. Try to isolate the issue by using someone else cell phone and see what happens.
Even if you can isolate it to that, I'd say try your luck with a Malaysk ROM as well and see how it goes. You'll definitely appreciate the upgraded versatility and functionality it brings to the table, plus that may solve your problem.

Sometimes my Moto will recognize my voice as I'm saying it an execute the command quick, like I think it should all the time.
Sometimes I'll say something and it'll take forever, and sometimes completely fail. I can then open my phone and do a voice command with immediate results, so it's not my connection.
I removed commander and autovoice which seemed to help some at first, but I'm not sure it made a long term improvement. Removing some apps I didn't use from the watch also seemed to help some, freeing up RAM.
Is too much of the voice processing happening on the watch instead of the phone? Or is there a bluetooth issue? My S4 processes voice very quick almost always.
Anyone else experiencing this? I can't seem to find any time this does it more than others. Quit or loud room, doesn't seem to matter.
Any suggestions would be a great help. I use the moto for voice commands a lot and it defeats the purpose of not pulling my phone out when it takes so long.

That one.
My old, decrepit galaxy s2 has what you describe but worse, sometimes phone bluetooth just turns off and can't turn back on... but mine is probably broken and dying.
Try re-pairing, cycling bluetooth on phone, or changing roms to one with a better bluetooth stack
If your S4 processes it fine, then it certainly is the connection between it and the watch. If cycling the antenna doesn't work try resetting either device, and if you're running a custom ROM check its dev thread for any BT related issues.
Going to try flashing an updated ROM. Currently on GoldenEye NB1 and going to update. I will let you know if this fixes the issue. Thank you two for your help.
Problem fixed
So I deleted the 360 from my phone's bluetooth. Then reset the 360. Upon reconnecting this time it worked great and has been excellent in recognition for a couple days now. Not sure what the difference is now, but it kept me from flashing my phone.
If I try to navigate from the Zenwatch, the phone brings up google navigate even if the phone is sleeping. I would think that might be an issue in a pocket, but that's not the biggest issue.
The destination seems to get set correctly but neither the phone or the watch continues to navigate. They both seem to lock up.
Subsequently any other Nav app (I hope Waze gets Wear support soon) is unable to navigate as they are unable to get GPS lock. Looking at other GPS helper apps shows zero sats in range. Stopping/Restarting location services doesn't solve the problem. Only resetting the phone does.
Maybe it's just me. Sprint HTC One Max, stock. Anybody else?
I noticed this the other day when I was testing out navigation for fun. Once I took my phone out of my pocket, it seemed like it was able to get a lock again and things went more smoothly. I know gps can be a bit sensitive sometimes and maybe having it right next to your leg like that blocks the signal?
When the problem (GPS lockup) manifests there is nothing that will get it going other than a phone reset. I normally have my phone in a holder high on my dash where gets good reception, but when it gets in that state, not even one satellite shows a hint of a signal. Today I even made sure to stand outside holding my phone up in clear sky just to be sure.
Even if I don't access nav Google maps or Micro Maps from the watch it still locks up at some unknown point. I normally keep GPS on all of the time and have a number of apps that store locations from time-to-time. When I get in my car, Waze automatically starts but I can't get any sat signals until I reset my phone.
I'm experimenting with a theory that another member brought up in a different thread that there may be a connection with using a watch face that also includes weather and the number of GPS requests it makes. I've changed to the basic face that is in all of the marketing photos and continuing to test. I guess my next step will be to leave the watch at home :crying: to make sure that something wonky hasn't happened with the phone itself.
Are there any other frequent GPS users out there that can confirm or haven't experienced the problem? It doesn't seem to matter if you use the nav functionality on the watch.
The updates this morning seem to have fixed the problem.
Hello, I have had my Note 4 for quite some time now and have not had any issues with it up until the last month or so.
At first it started out as just a hiccup every now and then, an example would be when I play music via bluetooth to my Jeep CD Player, I would sometimes have to turn bluetooth off then back on to get it to connect or reconnect.
Now things are getting out of hand. Here is a list of problems I have on a daily/hourly basis and seemingly at random times. I cannot reproduce any of these problems (except the NFC problem) on demand.
I have noticed that rebooting the phone will clear up these issues (except NFC) for a short time, SOMETIMES. Other times a reboot does nothing to help the situation.
Keyboard Lag
Sometimes when I press the keys the phone vibrates indicating a key press and magnifies the key that is being pressed, but fails to enter anything in the text box/input field. For the record I am using Swiftkey. I have noticed that this happens most often when I open an app via "popup notification." For example, if I were to receive an IM or SMS I would tap on the notification that pops up, which then switches to/opens the corresponding app. It is then I will more often than not have this issue. To remedy this I have to close and re-open the app, sometimes several times causing the keyboard to open and close, several times... Sometimes when I TAP a key, the phone will behave as though I have held the key down or performed a "long press." This issue is not exclusive to the keyboard, it often happens anywhere on the screen and with any app, usually indicating that I have been "long pressing" for about 1-2sec at a time.
NFC Does Not Work
One day while I was at work I attempted to add the office printer via NFC. To my surprise I was unable to turn on NFC via the "quick settings" drawer. In the quick settings panel the NFC icon would light up, as if it were turning on, and then just turn right back off again, this happens consistently. I went into setting to enable NFC that way and I am stuck with a slider that is actually in the "on" position but greyed out, I am unable to interact with it.
Bluetooth Connectivity
I have a JVC CD player in my Jeep, I often use YouTube or Google Play Music when I drive. Usually I do not have any problems connecting to the CD player at first, but after about 30-60sec of playback the audio goes blank. The app says that it is still playing however no audio can be heard. Then it will suddenly come back on after about 5-10sec, and here is where it gets strange. After the audio comes back on after this "hiccup" the playback is fast, as in it is playing at 2X's it's normal speed, makes the vocals sound like chipmunks. This will continue indefinitely until I turn on the screen, unlock the phone, then shut the screen off. Then the audio goes on playing fine. This happens with both YouTube and Play Music, while using YouTube the video gets sped up as well. I also experience issues with connectivity where sometimes at random the phone will just disconnect from the CD player, and refuse to reconnect until I have rebooted the phone, or if it does reconnect I get no audio until the phone is rebooted. I notice that this ONLY happens when connected via bluetooth. If I turn bluetooth off while this is happening music will play over the phone's speaker perfectly normal. My CD player has a hands free feature, and I do not seem to have any issues with phone calls, it's only with music playback do I have problems.
Originally I thought it was my CD player acting up, however in light of the other problems, and the fact that I tested it with my tablet and two of my friend's phones without issue, I don't think the CD player is the problem.
Sluggish/Glitchy UI
Sometimes when the phone really freaks out, the UI behaves very strangely. Sometimes notification Icons will hover above the running app, other times the whole screen will lock in place for a few seconds. Sometimes if the screen is locked up, I will shut it off, then turn it on, shut it off, turn it on. However as I press the power button to turn the screen on and off, nothing is happening, the screen just stays black while the "back" and "recent apps" buttons light up at the bottom. Then when the screen does finally come back in it will flash on and off quickly in accordance with how many times I pressed the power button. While all this is happening, if I hold the power button to turn the phone off, the power/reboot menu will appear without incident. Sometimes when I am swiping to unlock the phone, it does not register the full swipe. Basically it acts/appears as though I lightly touched the screen and moved my finger a half inch even though I have drug my finger all the way across the screen. To remedy that issue I have to SLOWLY drag my finger across the screen and then it unlocks without incident. I have also noticed that when I go to "swipe away" a notification, especially one that has "information" in it, it will swipe off the information but leave the notification there and display the app name the notification was from. An example would be, if I just installed an app (for example YouTube) from the Play Store, the notification will say "YouTube has been successfully installed." When I swipe either left or right to remove that notification, a "white ghost box" or "overlaying top layer" with the "successfully installed" text in it will slide away. However it leaves behind a green box/notification that says "Google Play Store" and that remains until I shut the screen off and turn it back on.
NFC Will Not Turn On
I simply cannot get NFC to turn on, the slider is in the ON position but is greyed out as I mentioned earlier. I would post a picture but I guess there is a 10post rule before I can do that. I have given up on NFC, mostly because I rarely use it, so it's really not that big of a deal.
Initializing the Camera
I use an app called "Telegram" instead of SMS messaging, thus I use Telegram to share pictures with friends. Sometimes, again I am not able to reproduce this problem on demand, the problem comes and goes seemingly at random. The camera will take more than 30-60sec to initialize, while I am waiting for it I am stuck with a black screen. If the camera doesn't initialize, shutting the screen on then off will take me back to the telegram app. I never get an error message or anything. Other times when I try to use the camera it pops on instantly and works flawlessly. Originally I thought this was a problem specific to telegram, however in the name of science I tested it with the default camera app and get the same results.
USB File Transfers
I'm not really sure this is specific to my phone, but whenever I transfer files from my PC to the phone or from the phone to PC, it is PAINFULLY slow. It's even painfully slow when the PC just displays what is in the folder. However I can't say for sure this is related because I never attempted to transfer files until I started having these issues, at which point I thought it would be a good idea to start backing things up.
Gets Stuck in 3G Mode
This happens rarely, not even sure that it's related but I felt that it was worth mention.
What have I done to try to remedy this problem you ask?
So far I have performed a non-root ADB nandroid backup, just in case factory resetting the phone didn't work.
I have factory reset the phone 2 times, I see no improvements.
I have cleared out my SD card/removed SD card
I removed and/or shut off bloatware apps (Yes I tested the phone without removing/disabling bloatware, still having the same issues)
Wiped cache via Recovery
I am not sure what else I can really do to fix the phone, I am starting to think that this is a hardware issue. I should mention that there was no significant event that I feel would cause these malfunctions. System update installed and worked perfectly up until this last month, I have not dropped the phone from significant height, the phone has an otterbox anyway. I have not gotten the phone wet, it has not been left outside, this phone has not seen any abuse what-so-ever. I just started having these problems out of the blue and they seem to be getting progressively more frequent and longer lasting. If I don't get any ideas from here I am going to try to get Verizon to replace the phone via insurance, however I don't have high hopes for that because I have grandfathered unlimited data and this is not the "original" phone that I had when I added the insurance option, so I am not sure it's covered.
Does anyone have any ideas on what could be causing this or anything I can do to correct it or try to troubleshoot it?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

I realize that this is a long post but whenever I ask for help I like to be detailed. If I left out any information that might be helpful please let me know.
Unfortunately, it looks very much like components on your logic board are going bad. Sometimes a few specific things will go bad that don't actually make the phone unusable, but make it act similar to what you are explaining. It wouldn't be worth the money you'd have to pay someone to track down the bad components and replace them. If you really like the note 4, I would just make a full backup with kies while you can, buy a new phone and restore your backup.
All of Kies backups do NOT restore to a new phone! Only contacts, messages and call logs will restore on a new phone. Use Samsung Smart Switch or Helium. Good luck

I see. I didn't know that because I've always restored my backups to the same phone. Thanks for the info.
Hi folks,
I frequently stream NPR / This American Life or similar apps in my car (2015 Toyota Highlander), via bluetooth to the car's audio. Until today, the name of whatever title I was streaming would show up on the car's screen. Basically metadata... name of the show, name of the episode, time... that sort of thing.
Today I updated my G3 (D851) from Lollipop (20g) to Marshmallow (30e). Immediately after finishing the update, any streamed content shows on the car screen (head unit) as "Unknown Artist" and similar blank entries instead of the name of whatever is streaming.
That's really annoying. How can I fix this? Again, it's definitely a Marshmallow thing. Never once did this on Lollipop.
TIA!

what app are you using, I think the protocols are set by the app not the OS. I know some of my music players support A2DP and others don't. Try different apps, you can also try forgetting the pair and repairing, or checking the settings of the pair to make sure everything is enabled. I had a giltch once where when i paired my phone to my car it only had a basic connection but nothing else worked and i had to repair. If you are using stock roms then I doubt it's Rom related. Some other things you could try is powering down the phone pull battery and reboot, just to fully reset all hardware, or a hard reset of the rom just incase there was an issue during the update process. Just some thoughts.
The two apps I use are the NPR News app and the This American Life app. Been using them for years. They both fine yesterday morning, but immediately after the update to Marshmallow the car screen reports Unknown Artist etc. Forgetting the connection on both ends and re-pairing doesn't fix it. The ROM is the stock 30e Marshmallow ROM from LG.
I've done a battery pull; didn't help. I heard early Marshmallow builds in general had some bluetooth issues but figured they would be worked out by the time a second release was made for our phones.
I will check the pair settings... haven't actually done that yet. Maybe there's some new option in there that's off by default.
Thanks to all for any other thoughts.
So, for a test I deleted ALL Bluetooth profiles on both the car and the phone, then pulled the battery on the phone, turned off the car, restarted the car, and rebooted the phone. PRior to this I checked the profile settings; all the boxes were checked.
That done, I re-paired the phone to the car.
I then played something from the This American Life app. Blank info showed up on the car screen. Tried the NPR app, playing a story from there. Blank info. In a fit of pique I poked back and forth between the car's home screen and it's audio selection screen, and returning to the home screen lo and behold there was the info about what was playing! How strange.
I switched back to This American Life, and the info on the car screen did not change... it stayed as the info from the program I was playing before. Went into the car's audio settings and back out to home screen. Now the info refreshed.
My current hypothesis is that under Lollipop, the phone "pushes" the metadata to the car, and it picks it up instantly. Under Marshmallow, it seems the car has to pull the data, and the screen gymnastics I was doing accomplished this.
I will test the theory by installing the apps on my Lollipop tablet, and trying to play them on the car, and seeing what the results are.
Marc
Okay. I tested on my now-marshmallow phone and my lollipop tablet.
Anytime I play from an app like this American life which I used as my test platform from my lollipop tablet, it immediately displayed on the cars home screen the metadata for the show.
Anytime I used my marshmallow phone to do the same thing with the exact same version of the app the metadata did not show on the home screen no matter how long I waited, however if I went into the program details on the car by pushing the section on the screen where the details should be it would then display the details. If I back out to the home screen again the metadata remains visible there.
It's very clear because this change in how it works on my phone happened immediately after upgrading to marshmallow that this is a difference between how marshmallow and lollipop handle the data. It seems that under lollipop data is automatically pushed out to the car upon starting playback where as under marshmallow the car seems to have to refresh or pull the data from the phone.
Again, this works the same way for several apps... not just This American Life.
I got the phone on launch day from Three store. I've already had 3 replacements in store and got a 4th one RMA'd from Razer.
Dont know if its worth waiting for this update. Some people say its fixed most issues some say it hasn't.
Currently i get that auto screen dimming when gaming or on a app for like 5 minutes or so. Very frustrating since the screen is not so bright anyway and it goes down so much, I literally cannot see the screen content when I am outside.
On top of that I have this Bluetooth issue when I connect to a device, either car stereo or any device literally.. It connects and says its connected/paired successfully but when I play something, it plays from the phone speakers.
The only fix to this is I need to go back and delete the paired connection. go to app settings and delete Bluetooth share and Bluetooth midi service app data, restart phone, pair again.
If these two things are not fixed. I've got no more patience left, I'm just going to sell the phone.
Great idea of a phone it is with the loud speakers and 120Hz screen but software has been the worst I've used on a phone by far.
Any info from you guys regarding all this ?
The screen dimming while gaming issue happened to me once, but I was just covering the light sensor with my finger, so I just fliped the phone and never happened again
Well, sincerely I have been with this device for 1 day, I will see if it brings problems, although for now I have not found an anomaly.

I haven't had those problems, but clicking the down arrow on the mobile data quick settings crashes, every so often my phone freezes and reboots (though less than Nougat), and there's the multitouch bug which gets fixed in the May security patch (which as far as i know is not out yet).

The Bluetooth problem may be a problem with your cars radio and not the phone. I have a 2012 Scion TC and and tried connecting my Razer Phone, HTC 10 and an iPhone 8 and they all had similar connectivity issues where audio was just being routed through the phone.

The issue itself is nothing to do with covering the light sensor. I've read on here and on Razer Insider forum that it is heat/power related and that lowers the screen brightness because it consumes too much power. A lot of people get this problem and a lot dont know about it too.

Its not my car radio. I've tried on 3 different car radio's and a Bluetooth portable speaker, I get this problem with literally every device i connect to. I still have not had a fix or a solution. Only thing Razer suggests every time is a factory reset which did not change anything.
This thing on max settings according to Ampere is pulling nearly 1.5amps from the battery with brightness at full and all settings maxed
