Hi,
So I had the razer phone for a week now and wondering if anyone has experienced or fixed two things:
1) Is quick charging always on?
I can't find any setting for it and I charge at night so I don't need quick charge unless it's an emergency.
2) When using headphones, Google music and YouTube will pause and start playing randomly. I would of thought maybe a unstable internet connection might be the case but even my downloaded music does it as well.
If anyone has solutions or can confirm they have the same issues, would be greatly appreciated.
I have had a similar issue as well. I use slingbox heavily, and when using my Verizon 4g sim for Data only, and Wi-Fi enabled I would see a random Grey (looks like a blank message prompt) blurp appear at the bottom, center of my screen. It would cause my Slingbox app to lose connection and close the video. Once i removed the Sim card from the phone, and use it in Wi-Fi only mode, I do not get the problem. I thought I would share my similar story.
Cheers.
Well, if anyone else is getting the random pausing and playing, I have narrowed down the issue to the USB audio dongle having some wiggle room when plugged in (IE standing or sitting still = no problems but if you're moving, you have a good chance of the dongle wiggling around and causing disconnects and reconnects which is why it pauses and plays).

No I am not. I did not have the phone connected to a charger when i encountered this problem. I came across it when i was doing battery test. I crank the brightness up, and stream my slingbox to see how long they can go. When my slingbox kept dropping connection, but not displaying a network error I started to take more notice of the issue. Once I was able to catch the problem in the act, I saw this random grey window appear at the bottom center of my screen. Slingbox drops the video, and goes back to the main login screen. The amount of time between disconnecting was also random. Sometimes it would disconnect almost right away, other times it would stay connected upto 15 minutes before dropping.
Once I remove the Sim and use Wi-Fi only, there is no issue.
Cheers.

I am in the same situation. With my CDMA/UMTS/LTE sim card I do get a data connection but I have frequent data drop offs. I'd see LTE, one minute then half signal with 3G then no signal at all. Even with cellular data off and only on wifi i would also experience drop offs of from the wifi also. It would even drop my magic jack calls only on home wifi as soon as the other person answered. Took the sim card out and I have no issues.
I think he was asking if you were trolling because we are off topic in that we do not have GSM carriers.

Hold the phone with the keyboard out.. if your pointer finger or any part of your hand covers the top of the device (or rather, left in the case of landscape).. does your wifi signal drop..
Often times it will drop signal completely and then come back up. I also noticed that the wifi is extremely sensitive to line of sight.. If the back of the phone is turned away from the access point.. signal drops.. turn around 180.. signal back up again. Its aggrivating.. this is when holding the phone in portrait mode..
Also..the device does not really roam all that well.. I have my wifi aps setup with all the same SSID.. so as you move through the house using lets say, my trusty HD2 running android, it will switch from ap to ap with no drop.. this also depends on roaming tendency (with computers) - but all in all.. it works perfectly. The G2 just drops the connection, and then connects to the next AP..
So.. do you have issues with your wifi?
btw.. The speeds are pretty good.. especially with PM (iwconfig eth0 power off) turned off. Its the link quality that is erratic..
I thought connectbot would be 10x more enjoyable with a keyboard.. didn't know there was a catch
Ive got lots of issues but I'm torn between if it's my phone or my router... My Vibrant does the same kinda crap but not as often as the G2 does. The PC's will be on, but not the phones.
How can I manually set my IP?? I do the Press menu in the WiFi menu and set static IP and specify what I want, but when I click on the network I'm connected to, it shows the IP that the phone chose by itself
There's a thread open here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=926132
Yeah, the wireless sucks unfortunately. I've setup a ton of new routers in my home (I have lots of media equipment and stream things constantly) and it's definitely the equipment. Sucks sooooooo much because the mobile radio sucks just as bad!!!
Pretty much every smartphone has this issue. I've noticed that my G2 drops its cellular signal if I hold it on the bottom-left corner.
Signal is fine, problem with wifi on this hardware is much worse than losing signal. When connected to some APs, screen off = wifi off, even when set to always stay on.

I've come across the same issue. Everytime I hold the phone using my lft hand,my coverage drops from H to edge. As soon as switch to my rt hand I get back on H. Also noticed whenever I hold the phone using just my finger tips to top to bottom I always stay on H.

I just got a Lumia 900 white and i have noticed the following issues.
The Lumia restarts on its own. It has restarted twice since i got it.
Weird purple screen in low light condition
Rattling sound when phone vibrates. Not like the usual vibrate
Would not connect to a specific router whereas all my other devices can. It can still connect to other routers though
I am running OS version: 7.10.8773.98 and firmware revision number: 2715.1601.8773.12141 which i assume is the latest (tango).
Should i be facing all these issues? I googled around a bit and i found that these issues were previously addressed with updates.
To note, it's an unlocked phone. I can use it with any carriers i want to.
Is there anyway i can re-install tango? I am assuming it's a software issue.
Help please?
Mine never restarted on its own.
I still have the purple screen problem pending a firmware update.
The vibration sound in this phone is like that. All models sound like this.
Never had trouble connecting to any wifi access point/router.
I am having rebooting issues. I think I've narrowed it down to low signal issues. My office is in the basement floor behind the elevators so I'm constantly in and out of signal. I fluctuate between 1-2 bars of 4G or LTE and no signal at all. If I have no signal, it will not reconnect unless I switch it to airplane mode and back. On a few occasions, it has rebooted on me only when I'm at my office. I have contacted Nokia customer support and they wanted me to send it in under warranty. I told them that was useless and that my replacement would have the same issue and told them to try to reproduce the issue with their QA/Dev teams. No response yet.
Mine has shut down twice now for no apparent reason, Always after using Nokia Drive, It was a real pain to start the phone back up too, Had to hold power button for a while, I did think it may be down to signal drops as when travelling the phone has to switch a fair bit I imagine, The phone did get a bit hot so maybe overheating as on both occasions the weather was very warm especially in the car.
no reboot, no purple screen, no ratteling sounds...
but WP7 have some issues with connecting to AP or routers set above chenel 10 (if you are not using automatic). my home router and AP were set at 11 and 12 and my HD 7 could never get connected... and when i changed to lower then 10 it was fine... so now my AP and routers are always set this way.
I have had my phone shut itself down three times now for no obvious reason. That's a bit of a worrying issue if you're on call for work and need people to be able to contact you at any time.
The phone restarting by itself is definitely a weird issue. I never had that happen to me before.
The only weird thing I encountered was the touch screen stopped responding. So I locked the phone and then unlocked it and it worked.
The issues you guys are bringing up here should definitely be covered by Nokia.
Only issue I have is the lumia not syncing contacts to my car's hu...

Yes...
I have had my Lumia 900 for one week, and also had a few a few problems:
1. Two restarts (phone is on, but asks for pin and lock code). Both of which are in a location with very poor/no reception. Both where during the morning (4am and 6am) (can see boot time using a program).
2. Complete discharge, wont initiate charge from computer (think it might have been because I skipped the "red low battery charge phase" (or what we should call it?). Does however charge from a computer if I let it charge with the red battery for a while, then boot it self and after a while it will start charing (with the charge icon blinking.
3. When using the radio in loudspeaker mode, and the screen is locked, after a while (5-10 seconds maybe), it (sometimes) stops, or (sometimes) starts to lag, as if the reception is poor (although the phone hasn't been moved.) pressing the power button, (at slide to unlock) the lag instantly stops. Anyone else wanna test this one? (try a bunch of times, doesn't always happened on mine.)
4. (Pure hardware problem): Rubber gasket between case and USB has been incorrectly paced, and "flaps" in the USB contact. (clearly visible if looking directly into the USB port).
Should I take it back and say I want a new one?
OS Version: 7.10.8773.98
Firmware revision number: 2175.1601.8773.12141
You guys need to exchange for a new phone. My first Lumia 900 had restart issues while idling. The new one doesn't have any reboot problem. My G2X before had reboot problem and screen bleed. I went and exchanged for a new G2X, and problem solved. I will send my Lumia 900 to Nokia for repair as I have another hardware issue. The capacitive buttons aren't very responsive when playing audio through speaker phone.
So I just purchased the tablet brand new about 2 weeks ago. Love it for the most part!
Over the past couple of days though, the wifi has really started to act up, and it's passing me off.. About every half hour or so, sometimes longer, sometimes shorter, the wifi will just stop working for a while. The bars will still be there, as will the little "download" and "upload" arrows lighting up as though data is still being sent and received. However, the wifi just isn't working. Pages won't load, speed test . net app won't work, nothing requiring wifi.
I usually have to go into wifi settings to disconnect and reconnect for it to start working again.
I haven't done anything different to my wifi router, and my other wifi connected devices don't seem to be having any trouble staying properly connected, so it doesn't seem like it'd be an interference issue.
Can anyone provide me with some help?
Hi,
I've been reading the other shutdown issue with interest from the start but I think that my particular issue is different and I'd like to know whether anyone else has my exact problem.
I'm using the o2 UK 16GB version 10A/234 and this is the problem:
When I reboot the phone and it gets to the lockscreen, if the network status is "disabled" on the lockscreen and I swipe to open, the phone shutsdown and can't be started again until I remove the battery.
If I wait for a couple of seconds when the lockscreen comes up, there is a little lag but the phone works as normal.
I can replicate this issue over and over again, so it is not a random occurrence AND this is the second handset that I have had where this exact problem is present.
Does anyone else have this issue?

I'm facing the same issue. Is your device rooted?
At first every (re)boot without being connected via usb to a charger or a computer would result in a shutdown shortly after I enter my pin. After a day of usage I cannot reproduce it anymore, although it still happens from time to time, for example yesterday when I tried to send a text while having very bad to no reception. When it happens I also have to remove the battery or hook it up to a charger, otherwise the buttons/screen would not respond..
I'm thinking there is a (firmware) problem with the chipset since it always happens when my phone is trying/strugling to connect to the mobile network. I installed an app which constantly writes logs to my sd, hopefully that will give me more information about what's causing the problem..
Are you also having bad reception when the device shuts down? My previous device (iPhone 5s) had normal reception in my house, incl. a stable 3G connection, always 2-3 bars of 5. The LG G3 is constantly strugling with the connection to the network and often switches to "emergency calls only"..

This happens rooted non-rooted, stock (no added apps) and always whilst connecting to phone network. Are you on same variant as me and if you leave it for a moment before putting in your pin does it then work ok?. I'm trying to get o2 to change my handset for another model (m8) but they just want to fix my one.

Yes I'm on the same variant. Still running the 10A firmware.
Sometimes it works, but I will do some more test this evening after work and see if I can reproduce it every time and hopefully get some usable logging too.
I think this is fixed in the 10f firmware update that I installed yesterday. I haven't had a shutdown since :victory:

i was facing almost same issue except my phone crashed and don't want to boot up, haven't edited anything just started bluetooth. sometimes it start sometimes it doesn't
now it doesn't want to boot at all even charge screen gets stuck
I'm about to throw this stupid thing against the wall. Since I bought this thing a couple months ago I've noticed that sometimes when I am watching youtube a box will pop up telling me that I've connected to T1 (the name of my wifi network). It seemed odd because I was already connected but whatever. Then lately I've been using the HBOgo app to watch shows, and at some point during every episode the app will freeze and I will have to back out and then resume the episode. I assumed it was the HBO app, but I've started to realize that it is the tablet itself freezing and disabling wifi. I realized this today when I was trying to download some files. Nothing too large, 60-100mb, but the downloads were always failing before they could complete so I would have to start over. I start to download a file, the download should only take a couple minutes at the most, but before it completes, somewhere between 30% to 95% downloaded, the whole tablet freezes up and becomes completely unresponsive. Then the wifi icon disappears from the top right, and the wifi button next to location, bluetooth, etc, goes from green to gray, then after a few seconds it goes back to green and a box pops up telling me that I am connected to my wifi network again. I start the download again and the exact same thing happens. I've also noticed that the tablet gets quite hot around the camera.
It does the same thing when connected to my TP Link Archer C7 (just using N, not AC) and a netgear router I had lying around. I doubt it's the network as the router has no way to forcibly disable wifi on my tablet. When I said that the wifi button goes from green to gray, it's as if I had tapped it to manually disable wifi, even though I did no such thing.
Also, it does seem like if I turn the screen off and let it sit for a while to cool down, it will work until it heats up again. Once it starts to feel hot though the wifi will start disabling itself and downloads start failing again.
I'm only about 10 feet away from the router with direct line of site.
So is it just overheating? Defective and time to send it in under warranty?
Everything is stock.
