Lockups in 3.01

I've had two lockups on my Xoom sine I received the update yesterday. I didn't have any lockups in the three days I had the Xoom before the update. In both cases I put the Xoom to sleep using the power button and I had to reboot (volume up + power).
Anyone else seeing more lockups in 3.01?

No lockups here before or after the update.

Nope, I've never had to reset.

Had the browser lock up on me and had to reset with 3.01

Nothing here

I've had several lockups and browser just closing on me. I've had to do a soft reset at least 40 times since I've owned this on release date. Love it and won't return it since I'm an android fanatic but I'm more excited for BB Playbook next month.

I just had a lockup in stock browser with user agent set to desktop. i was on theunion.com viewing a story about the fukushima reactors from ap.org. there was flash content in the right column. I can't help but wonder if the leaked flash 10.2 is the same build that will be released on 3/18.
after waiting 60 seconds the freeze relented and the menu bar became responsive again.

i'm having this issue with my wifi xoom. i can't even get into recovery to do a hard reset b/c, from a guess, after selecting nvflash the screen is supposed to go off then back on. mine won't come back on. so mine must be hardware.

I had 4 -5 random reboots and a number of FC's before the update. After the update I haven't had a single random. Even with overclocking.

sucks for me. since the nearest place to replace it is 50miles away I have to hold on to it until I get a chance to replace it. I may be able to tomorrow since it's pretty close to my job, but it depends on whether my wife picks up my daughter or if I have to.
crap like this puts a bad taste in your mouth though.

Dude, that sux. I haven't had any bad things like what you guys are having happen to me. My Xoom has been great. Maybe you guys should look at some of the apps you've installed. When my eLocity A7 was acting up, not waking up from sleep and such it turned out to be incompatable software I installed.

YouTube not working properly with 2.2?

I am using a replacement g2 that I got from tmo (originally bought a brand new g2 but it came with 2.3.3 so I asked them for an exchange and got this one with froyo). I have an issue with videos not playing properly on the youtube app and on m.youtube.com. When I open the vid, the sound works fine but the screen is just black. Sometimes, the video starts with a picture but doesn't go anywhere from there. If I try to skip to a certain time frame, sometimes it switches to a different picture and gets stuck again or just goes black.
Has anyone else had this issue? I never had this happen on my original g2 with gingerbread. Could it be a pre loaded app that's interfering with it?

Have you tried a factory reset? A lot of times that'll fix whatever weird kinks are in the phone.

Yup that fixed it hahah. thanks.

ICS and screen freezing

Howdy,
I've had my tab for a very long time and have always had this issue where when under load the screen would stop responding to touch and I'd have to lock and unlock the device to get it functional again. It didn't matter if it was stock firmware or any of the various roms out there. It always does it. I was hoping that the ICS update would fix whatever the problem was but it does not seem to have done so. Is anyone else seeing this issue on ICS?
This has been an extremely frustrating issue with this device.
Thanks

I have never had any of the issue you described. Are you doing anything in particular that makes the tab freeze like this? So far the ICS custom Rom is just peachy for me. Faster and smoother than the HC versions.

Yes, I also have this problem. I have tried many different roms but problem is more or less the same with all of them (stock, cm9,cm10).
Today I have sent it to Samsung service center, let's hope they can fix it otherwise it goes in the trash.

I only noticed today, first day with official ics. Sometimes the screen is unresponsive, but after I press 2-3 times it works and it doesn't need to lock it.
Sent from my amazing 10.1 galaxy tab

I've has the same issue in starting in Jellybean, where a lock and unlock would fix it.
However, I've had moments where it stopped responding totally, while Android itself was still running fine, and I had to reboot to get it back up. That's happened to me everywhere.

Thanks for the replies. It's happening way more often for me on ICS than it did on HC. It used to happen once or twice a day but it happened 5 times last night. It's almost making the tab unusable. I've talked to a several people around here that have the same tablet and about half mention it happening so it's probably a common issue. As far as I know though no solution.
you can tell when it happens that it's not the os locked up. The volume buttons will show the the volume slider and holding down power will give you the shutdown menu. The screen is just not responding.
Please let me know if Samsung fixes it for you.

Okay, I'll let you know. I´m not very optimistic that they can fix it, but I had to do something. Yesterday I almost break the tab in half when it freeze all the time. After reboot it took about one minute before first lock up and then I had to lock/unlock and after another 30 seconds it freeze again and again and again......
So got pretty pissed and just sent it away.
Will probably take a few weeks to get it back.

Ever since I flashed custom HC and now stock rooted ics, all lag and freezing has disappeared. Before that it was extremely laggy and needed a reboot every day or two as it got extremely slow. And I'm running sslauncher which is generally not a smooth as some others. But now it just flies.
Sometimes a factory reset, wipe and restore of titanium backups helps a great deal.

Do you have the 10.1N? I had the exact same issue 2 days ago and I was about to throw the tab outside the window. There are some apps that did the freeze for me...only ones. If this will continue with the stock ics for 10.1N. .. I am going to send it to the service center. I never had such an issue with CM9 or custom roms. Maybe we should all report to Samsung instead of here. They might look into it.

I have the GT-P7500 and it doesn't matter what rom I have. My problem occur even after a factory reset and no apps installed so I doubt it´s any specific application that makes the freeze.
Will keep you all updated if they do anything about it.

So, that is even worse than me. Good luck...but still I think we should send the complains towards Samsungs. How else would they know that there's a problem?

I've got the GT-P7510 as well. It's gotten really bad with Jellybean. I always figured it was the touch screen driver being the issue. I know there are ways you can cause it to happen by tweaking driver settings. I really was hoping that the update to the 3.x kernel would cause them to release a new driver and fix it but it looks like in some cases it makes the issues way worse.

Has your s4 frozen on you yet?

Has your phone frozen to the point you had to reboot?? How many times...
I have not purchased a total of 3 of these devices what is for me another was for my buddy and one was for my girlfriend. I personally have experienced one freeze that made me reboot the phone my girlfriend who I convince to switch from an iPhone was beginning to love the phone but now is angry because she has been experiencing freezes a total of three times she just got the phone under a week. I'm curious to know how many others have experienced a freeze since they got the phone.

I haven't had mine freeze on me yet and I've had it about a week.

I haven't had one freeze and I've had it since launch. Are you rooted?

Not one freeze. I preordered mine and it's been golden.

Nope none of the phones have been rooted. She claims that the music player just got stuck causing the whole phone freeze to the point where she couldn't answer call. She says it's happened to her more than once. When my phone froze it was just once and the whole screen froze and couldn't do anything had to reboot and then things have been fine since then.

My phone freezes at least once per day if not more. Not sure why...

Have not had 1 freeze myself, I don't count the one time I flashed a ROM and was stuck at loading screen so just went back to my restore

No freezes for me since April 26th, the day I received my preorder S4.

Not one lock up. Maybe she downloaded a bogus app?

Got the phone the morning of the release and I have been using it extensively since then and not a single freeze, crash, or reboot, or even the slightest amount of lag for that matter! :thumbup:
Sometimes crap like this happens with some random apps, if the problem consists maybe factory reset and reinstall each app one at a time to possibly identify the problem app.
That's just if it is an app though, I hope you can figure it out, this phone is unbelievable and the first of many many phones that has yet to have any sort of hiccups for me.

I got mine the 2nd day it was out so a lil while now. I had one crash when playing with the kernel tweaker in Rom Toolbox Pro and it rebooted and fixed what I screwed up haha. But a freeze or lockup then reboot no.

This is REALLY werid.. so I`ve had this phone since launch and it has been 100% amazing. I`ve had 16gb SD card for years that I have been using so I thought it's time to get a big upgrade, so I now have a 64gb class 10, which also has been solid for 4-5+ days. all of a sudden it froze on me. I rebooted many times and even switched out my old 16GB card and still would freeze (probably 1-2 minutes once its plugged in) I even did a factory reset just cause I didn't have too much on here and its still doing it . never had an issue like this before.

I've fortunately had the above microSD for about 6 months and it has been fine. Seems like ~10% of them are defective.
I still don't trust mine and make sure I always back up important folders to dropbox via the dropsync app just in case it decides to fail on me

Samsung infact, though I must admit this may be fault of the SD card, I found a rouge folder which was read only that was used to do a mounting script. once I deleted this windows I have not had an issue *yet* on my phone.. perhaps a false alarm!

No freezing on mine yet, but there has been a little lag.

I have been having my phone freeze on me when I use the multiple camera shot and I would have to reboot. I think maybe you need to install task killer or just hold home button and clear the cache when you feel that you been using lots of apps to clear the rams Cache.

That's definitely not supposed to happen. I had an S3 before this and this thing flies in comparison. I would try and figure out what you did that is causing your issue/perhaps in a defective or hardware issue and you should get a replacement.
And @op I think the issue your talking about was fixed with the update from MDC to MDL, I went straight to AOSP so I never had the smearing issue people were having, but I'm pretty sure they got rid of that from what I heard. Could be wrong though. Have you updated to MDL?

Home lag on verizon versions?!?! *LAUNCHER REDRAW updated w/ vids*

i don't get it...how has no review shown this at all?
when you go home, the phone lags out for like 2 seconds. you can't switch screens..it's like it's unresponsive for a second or two before it starts chugging along. this wasn't shown in any video at all.
try it with keyboard up or without..you'll notice it with keyboard, because when you hit home, it takes like 3-4 seconds for the keyboard to dropdown and go away..that's bc it's like hung up when you're going home.
anyone else notice this? other than that, this phone rocks.
*edit*
the issue is def launcher redraw. when it's redrawing, it doesn't allow you to switch between homescreens or open folders, and it's a delayed response if you attempt to. hopefully our devs can do a modded launcher that won't redraw, or we can get some kinda bulletproof launcher script going.
VIDEOS:
of course when i went to film it, i couldn't get it to do it. took forever, but i finally got something. it isn't the 100% frozen issue, but it shows it getting caught mid-home screen because it's trying to redraw the launcher.

**NOTIFICATION DROPDOWN LAG SOLVED**
and here's the super annoying notification dropdown lag on the lockscreen (this happens when youre on the launcher and you unlock..if you're in a settings menu and your phone locks, and then you hit power and do the dropdown on your lockscreen, it WON'T lag like this..it will only lag if the last place you were was the launcher. wtf is up with this stupid launcher? lol)
turns out that you CAN NOT set a homescreen wallpaper to NON SCROLL, or else you get this annoying lag. as long as you set a wallpaper to SCROLL, then it won't lag at all. makes absolutely NO sense, but yeah. just tested.

Mine doesn't do this. Sounds like you got a dud.

lol i doubt i got a dud. although, i did have to return the first one the second i powered it on bc of dust under screen adn dead pixels. they gave me such a hard time because they're a bunch of morons at corporate stores and weren't going to let me exchange it.
had to lay down the law on their asses. bunch of douchebags lol
anyway, doesn't happen everytime...any of you use swiftkey? when youre using the keyboard and you just hit home, it stays up for like, 3 seconds or so. it's getting caught up somewhere with the launcher perhaps.

ha i should've known it was swiftkey! bah.
i remember when i got the gs4 there were reports of swiftkey literally lagging down the phone by just being installed, even when not in use.
i LOVE that keyboard, but damnit, they really need to optimize it correctly!

Have to agree about SwiftKey. It lags on my nexus 7. It is absolutely frustrating on my gnex. Seems to run fairly well on the nexus 4 and on the s3 with aokp.

eh just uninstalled swiftkey and it made no difference. it's like when you go home, wait a second and then start scrolling, or else you'll notice lag. i'll just stop trying to be so speedy on my phone

A phone with these specs shouldn't lag. I sure hope the bootloader gets unlocked so aosp can be installed. That made a huge difference on the s3. I personally haven't gotten the phone yet. I am trying out a nexus 4 on t-mobile. Unfortunately, I get no signal in my house. So t-mobile is a no go. I was hoping this could be my next Verizon phone, because my gnex lags terribly. Using this nexus 4 is spoiling me quickly.

yup! so it's a combo of swiftkey and i'm thinking the launcher perhaps. i now wait a second before i start moving around in the launcher, or else there will be much lag and delay.
