I have a Pixel C that otherwise works fine. When playing videos it freezes completely, requiring holding the power button down for a hard reset. I have tried the following apps:
Youtube
Youtube on Chrome
Vimeo
VideoLan player with MP4 file
In all cases, the entire device freezes. Never at the same place, varying from 1 minute to 10 minutes (approx). I have tried the following:
Uninstalled/reinstalled apps
Made sure all above apps had all their permissions turned on
Android 7.1.1 (stock rooted with Magisk), 7.1.2 (stock unrooted, boot loader locked), and 8.1 (AOSP rooted with Magisk)
Ran Antutu 15-minute stress test without issue
Ran Phone Check stress test and thermal test without issue
Any ideas?
Same problem from the beginning...

I have had this issue forever. I bought my 64GB when it first came out and the screen began registering random touches along the entire right side. I luckily found a used screen/digitizer on Ebay and that fixed my problem. It wasn't until then that I began watching a lot of video on it. Random freezes that require the hard reset and sometimes the audio will get stuck as well and it will reset on its own. Last week when it happened, it wiped my system completely. Rebooted to the robot lying on its back and saying "No Command." Luckily I was able to flash the latest OTA image with adb. I have been told that many of the Pixel C's had faulty graphics chips and were being swapped under warranty, but I didn't find out until after my warranty expired. It is virtually impossible to find parts for this device. Usually you will find a broken one for sale for parts if anything.
ZenFone 2 ZE551ML (z00ad) - 4GB Ram, 2,3Ghz Intel Atom, 64GB ROM

Hello guys,
I am having this issue for a while, basically everyday I have to reboot my phone because I can't receive/make any calls, I usually find out when someone pings me on facebook that I am not reachable or when I try to call someone - it is just dead and then after like 15 secs does the end beep.
Once I restart the phone it is ok again for a while, I have not found any pattern what could cause this.
My phone went recently out of warranty so I decided to try a custom ROM - went for Mokee 71.2 (https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7582/development/rom-mk-71-1-n-7-1-1-unofficial-weekly-t3585607) which seems to be a nice ROM and I started to feel happy and then it happened again... I had basically nothing installed than the system + nano gapps...
Any help will be very appreciated, I don't want to throw this phone away just because of this as I think it is a solvable issue.
Thanks
Edit: just had a call with a friend and might be just caused by old sim card, will let know tomorrow as I will stop to get that changed
Hi all!
My father's Oneplus 3 (A3003, 64gb) died a few days ago while he was waiting for his new oneplus 6 (if only it died after migrating... sigh), and i'm trying to troubleshoot it.
The display went dark after a night, no led, nothing. He plugged it to a computer, and a device called HS-USB Qdloader 9008 appeared in the device manager.
I thought it was bricked, so we followed the unbrick stepps (even the full package).
Nothing happened on the display after reboot, black screen after a short vibration, then a few minutes later another vibration, and so on...
I let it alone for a few days then tried again to see what was happening, and went again with the unbrick process. This time it completed successfully and i was able to see something on the display, but very very dim!
It booted to the stock OOS, then it rebooted right after arriving on the OOBE, and it froze while booting after that.
Again i let it alone for a few hours, and tried again, outside in the cold. This time it "worked", with the very very dim display though, i could barely see what was happening on the screen, but i was able to set it up including wifi and play store, and i could do a benchmark using geekbench successfully (score was on par with other OP3).
I went inside and tried again a few hours later, and it froze right after launching the benchmark, rebooted and froze during boot. Then i could do nothing to make it boot again (while it was warm anyway).
tl;dr : It only "works" when it is cold, and the display is barely readable. I'm thinking it could be the motherboard or the display, but would a display issue cause the reboots when getting warm? Seems weird to me!
i attached pictures of the failing OP3 next to my OP3T to highlight the display issue, the "band" visible on the 1st picture is not visible to the bare eye, only on camera and it "moves", no idea why this happens.
EDIT : i was able to unlock it while it was "working", if it is of any importance...

Looks like a Display issue. It is possible that it triggers the booting issue, though I am not sure about the "hot & cold" issue. May be a loose connection. Did it suffer a fall in the past? If you are upto it, check some videos on opening the phone and check and clean the connections. It may help.

Thanks for your answer, i just looked at the requirements to open it, and i need a T2 screwdriver, which i do not have yet, the smallest i have is a T3 unfortunately.
I think it did fall a few times, but no issue right after at least. It may have loosen the connections though, you're right...

You just need to Flash Latest OOS
this type of issue was happened to me 2 months ago, i successfully recovered display by Hard bricked method
first of all i used Qualcomm hard bricked method to get my 1+3t to working condition (display was as you showed in picture) with Qualcomm Tool's Old builtin firmware
then i I flashed OOS 5.0.4 and its all done with Bright Display. I did not opened the phone.

Thanks ! I sideloaded oos 5.0.8 and now the display is fine !
It still freezes when getting warm every time, if I put it outside in the cold i can do benchmarks without issues, but as soon as I try the same inside it freezes. Since I already unbricked it, it seems hardware related but outside of the motherboard, what could be the reason ? Can the battery be responsable for that ?
The freeze happens very quickly inside, it does not get hot, barely warm at the top of the screen.
as far as my idea is concern you have another 1+3/t, to confirm battery issue swap your motherboard or battery with the other one, it'll confirm the battery. other than battery issue check lose connections/rust and thermal issue, if got any clean connection strips then reconnect. my 1+3t never got hot from any side ever.

Yes i'll do that, i just need to find the famous torx t2 to open it.
Thanks for your help!

welcome
2 Days ago I got the new Oreo update on my 43 inch PUS7303 but since that day I have got only issues and little to no useful features.
Common Interface sometimes doesn't authenticate, WiFi sometimes doesn't connect automatically, Channel changing now feels 1-2 seconds slower, Android keeps bringing back the All channels from my provider instead of my Favorites list of channels and the UI has more glitches and stutters than it had before.
The new homepage now has just a black background and stops TV channel playback in the background.
The idea of "channels" for Apps is good but when you press the Home button it takes 6-7 seconds to load the videos from the Apps because of the slow MediaTek Processor.
Is there anyway to downgrade to Nougat ?
HI,
you should consider a factory reset... however, some of your points are just "features" of Oreo - e.g. the background in HOME and that there is no sound in HOME...

I tried a Factory Reset, and even though it fixed the overall experience by some 10% I still don't like Oreo and would like to go back to nougat.
I see that you are from a website that I followed a tutorial to downgrade but failed, Could you help me?
Here is what I did on my 43PUS7303
I used the upgrade_loader.pkg of both of these Nougat versions: TPM171E_105.1.2.75_upgrade_loader and TPM171E_105.1.2.17_upgrade_loader. I tried 2-3 times.
I put the upgrade_loader file in the root of a USB and start the procedure by unplugging the TV from power and plugging it in again with the USB connected to the 2.0 port.
The procedure starts, TV shows the message Software upgrade in process and it lasts 5-10 minutes.
After it finishes, it boots back to Android Oreo.
65put6800/56 issue
i m also facing almost same issue with my Philips 65put6800 android tv. Last day my google play store crashed automatically(message: unfortunately the google play store services has been stopped) due to less storage space. then i had try to reinstall tv using settings tab from menu and it took almost 01 hr to switch on tv after so many reboot process. But it was jus useless and the result was zero .
I have the UPG file of the current running android version of my TV but when i m trying to install it using USB device the system it self showing as message that " the software i m trying to install is same or equivalent to the current software version ". There is no other updates are available for Philips till today.
I m really fed up and tried all methods to get in boot loader menu of my tv but i didn't get through.
Would you please help me to get inside the boot menu of my Philips android TV and to install the UPG file from usb.
Awaiting your reply.
Before I will trough it away, I was wondering if there is still some chance...
So last few months my nVidia Shield TV Pro 2017 was somehow lagging - it took quite a long time to even start for example NetFlix. This issue was randomly re-appearing like 4x a month (eg. for days/two) and reboot didn't help, then it went away and repeated after 1-2 weeks etc. I'm not using it for game play at all.
I was thinking myself that maybe it's HDD issue (like dying after 4 years...) or it's CPU thermal throttling. So I disassembled it, cleaned it using pressured air, assembled back and it was working just fine (but it could have been again just temporary). I have decided to replace thermal paste on the heat-sink together with replacing SSHD by SSD (due to the different sizes, I had to use method described in another thread). And here I'm with probably hard bricked Shield.
I don't know if I hard-bricked it during heat-sink disassembly (for sure I didn't put too much thermal paste) or when trying to migrate to SSD, however :
- there is no logo when turning it on
- CPU FAN is not spinning, green LED is shining just bright (eg. never turn to lower brightness)
- I can't enter fast boot - I see it's stuck with APX mode, when connected to the PC via MicroUSB
- testing new SSD and even putting back previous SSHD, seems that it doesn't boot at all, as /cache partition - log folders, it just contains old early_boot_dmesg.txt and last_boot_dmesg.txt files
(when booting using SSHD, the hard-drive start spinning and in like 6 sec I hear noise like head get parked)
- I kept it like that for 1 hour - no change / fan not spinning / no logo / just black screen
- tested it on TV as well on another LCD
- I have checked using microscope if I damaged any SMD but I don't see any damages and it's not first time I was performing such activity
Did it die or you may have some ideas ? I don't believe it's SSD/SSHD issue but most probably some HW failure.
I was wondering, if the logo would show up eg. when you turn it on just without hard-drive connected ?
Thank you.

That's definitely hardware failure. I have been there done that, no coming back Nvidia says apx mode is hardware failure
@jionny and would you have any idea, what that HW failure could be ?
I'm still not able to get any answer on if nVidia Logo shows up or not when SSHD is disconnected - eg. that would possbly narrow it down to the broken ribbon cable (even it looks completely okay)
I don't have a solution for you, unfortunately. But I did want to say don't throw it out. I have one too, but the fan is going out on it and it's so loud that I have my Shield unplugged and haven't used it for I think about a year.
Point that I'm getting at is you could part it out, or sell to someone that can use parts from it. If your worried about your data, then you could just part out the other stuff, which if I remember correctly might just be the heatsink and the fan. Not sure. If you can't find a solution though, recycling is better than the landfill.
Let me know if you decide to part it out or if you want to sell it. Obviously only if repairing either isn't possible or practical.
Mine recently died too, the HDD is the most common weak link. I would get a green light and heard the ticking of the stuck drive. Taking it apart, and manually unsticking the drive didn't get me any further. I'm working through the procss of installing an SSD.. have gotten it to boot to the point of asking for a google sign in, but even though the email and password are correct, it is not accepting them. Still trying to track down the solution.
Nothing will display without a working drive. My tv would detect something was connected to it, but that was the only indication that it was alive.
Thank you for update...I still didn't figure myself though, why why even with ssd nothing shows up :-(
If there is not a bootloader/program on the ssd then there is nothing for it to read from to show. Try creating the PRO 500G ssd first and see what you get. An ssd without a program on it won't have anything to read from. Look for the SSD done posts.
I have 128GB SSD and I tried to copy it with partition size adjustment...I can read the drive, I see the smae structure...seems to be okay, I can also read previous HDD without problem (also SMART do not report any issue). I think it really died....
Have you read the posts under "Nvidia Shield TV SSD - done"? The change to a different size drive can be very tricky and requires hex edits. I'd advise getting the 500G SSD and following this guide to see how far you get. Other than that I've run out of ideas, good luck.
Thanks for trying to bring up new ideas. I know that thread very well, I even tried original image with hex modifications, using calculator, then I used the automated script, I'm quite confident I did it right. Don't forget that even with original image/previous HDD it doesn't boot and I don't want to touch the previous HDD to ensure I still have some backup. It's really pity there is not any serial console..
I can also read both disks using Linux reader, the partitions are identical (except size naturally) etc.
Just the behaviour is really strange...
Sorry I wasn't any help. It is too bad there are so many hoops and you can't just install from an ISO like I can for my linux programs or to run a VM. If you are sure of your drive, might be worth watching ebay for an inoperable shield to put it in. I'm sure that's all mine needs.. just trying to get around the log in issue.
Hi, I got a 2015 pro 500GB, went to do the ssd swap, got an evo 870 500GB SSD...
Thought I'd cloned it ok ( with hd guru HDD raw copy tool )
But I get no video signal at all ( not a black screen ) "no display detected" on TV, green light on shield, no fan spinning...
Is this apx mode, can I get out of it..
Not sure what happened with the original HDD as put it back into pc and was showing unallocated space,
( Booted a gparted live usb, it shows a basic small windows efi partition & the rest as unallocated space ( I think when I tried to clone it, windows may have :initialised the HDD and nuked it...)
??
Thanks
