I have started having a problem with my Thrive not waking up. I have the 16gb version uprooted. Here lately it will not wake up after it has slept for even a few minutes. I have to restart it before I am able to use it again.

I actually just found this so hopefully this will take care of the problem.

When you say 'uprooted' do you mean non rooted? I didn't have the systm update and after I rooted mine, never really had it. You can try to hve a background application running, like the music player, but paused. Though there is supposed to be an update to fix it soon.

Lets hope so!
Be patient. Toshiba has done a lot in working to resolve this issue. They asked owners, including myself, to exchange their Thrive directly with the engineering department so Toshiba could look at examples with the issue.
Based on my conversations with the Toshiba engineer, I fully expect the fix to be released within 2 weeks if not sooner.
That's great. It is an exquisite tablet. I am glad they are working so hard to fix this problem.

Me? Patient?? Lol.
I have no choice but to wait, but I assure you, it won't be cause I'm patient.

Yeah I have this deep sleep problem, but also my thrive will read sixty percent battery life, and then immediately go down to five percent, then turn off in a few minutes. Huge glitch that I don't know if it's a hardware malfunction or software.
Just downloaded the new update, we will see if it fixes the sleep problem.

So far so good. I normally would have had 2 or more deep sleep problems by now. Since the update my Thrive has waking up perfectly. Great job Toshiba!!!

I had no SOD before Update and I have no one after the update.
Thrive works perfect! Go on Toshiba!!!!
Still SOD
I just downloaded the latest update today and I still have the SOD issue . I am generally a patient person when it comes to fixes on brand new devices, but after two updates I had really hoped that the problem would be solved. I am still looking around to see if there is some sort of temporary fix while they develop a more permanent solution.
I also still have the issue. In addition, I now have more random reboots (had them rarely before), laggy keyboard (was fine before), very long boot-up process, and terrible battery life.
I did a factory reset after the update, because the update put my Thrive in virtually unusable condition. I lost 4% on my battery just typing a 3 sentence reply in a forum!! I actually hoped a factory reset would roll back the update, but no such luck. It did improve battery life, although it's definitely worse than it was pre-update. And it seems to have improved the keyboard lag, as well. The boot-up is still much, much longer than it was before and the SOD and random reboots continue.
Mine is working awesome no sod no random resets seems to be fine.
From a thrive unrooted
I'm still having the SoD. Bummer.
First, a bit of background. My wife won't let me root her Epic, mostly because she's had to return it 3 times for hardware failures and it's annoying to have to wipe the phone each time.
I told her to hold off on downloading the OTA update to Gingerbread, to make sure there aren't any crippling bugs that show themselves after the masses get a hold of it.
Is there any reason that she should stay away from the OTA update?
None go ahead and update

I'm not rooted, updated to GB, but I'm getting random reboots and freeze ups (had to pull battery each time). Other than that it's good to go. Battery lasts longer, but WI-FI range decreased.
If she won't let you root it and put on a GOOD ROM then the next best thing is the OTA so go ahead. It is easier to root on froyo and then flash a GB ROM though. I know a few "stockies" and they love it. No issues with their phones at all.
Before I rooted, EI22 was fast and stable. But I was getting problems keeping the GPS connected and WIFI was not as stable as in froyo. The only other problem I noticed is not being able to change the volume while the phone is next to my ear. Rooting and installing ACS ICS solved most of these
Don't wipe you're phone after the
Update, it will break wifi.

Ha-ha. My wife is the same with her epic.
Upgrade to gingerbread. It's much better even in stock form.

I'm on stock GB, lets see ..
1. weak GPS (i've never had gps issues before)
2. keyboard lag on physical keyboard
3. screen likes to come on during calls and then my cheek hangs up on people (lots of fun)
4. screen loses responsiveness randomly
at this point i'm ready to drop kick the phone out a 5 story window. so my personal recommendation is if you aren't going to use a rom, stick with froyo. also word just came out that there is a already a new 2.3.6 version of GB coming for the epic. Hopefully this update will fix some of these issues.
wife did OTA upgrade to gingerbread without my approval.
My wife has the original Epic and did the OTA upgrade herself, but has been complaining that battery life is far worst. It's been about 2 weeks maybe.
So I did a factory reset and so far so good. However, it's only been a few hours since I wiped it so only time will tell. I'm told wifi is buggy now from reading other posts, and will report back on that aspect.
If the battery life still suck, I'm going to be forced to root this damn thing and flash it with a battery saving rom.
Any suggestions? I'm new to the OG Epic when it comes to modding.... I'm on a rooted EpicTouch via Starburst.
going to start looking for a stable rom.....
thanks!
Thanks everyone. I kinda figured that there would be some common issues with gingerbread that they'll need to release a maintenance update for in a couple weeks.
I've been running CleanGB on mine and it's been awesome.
oh yeah i forgot to mention weak wifi. i can be 10 feet from the router and get 1 bar on wifi.
I used the flash update for GB that was posted here a while back and I can't say I've noticed any considerable improvements or diminution in quality apart from the GPS which appears worse than before. Battery life may be a bit better than it was under Froyo but there's no real incentive to upgrade from Froyo as far as I can tell.
A friend who installed via the OTA has been dealing with very poor battery life ever since - he says that Android System usage is up over 64% and is awake time is considerably longer than the time is screen is on for whatever reason. He told me he normally leaves GPS on all the time but the usage shows very minimal resources going to GPS. also, he never turns on WiFi and he's in a very strong signal area.
Wifi is fine here. Solid connection from a story away. If. I'm in the same room I get full bars and 65mbps link.
Also zero reboots on two household epics since the update.
But dude, you've got to put on a kernel to fix the keyboard. My wife thought I was a god when I did that for her on froyo, there was no question it had to be done again in gb. She sends hundreds of texts a week (over 2k texts in a month not uncommon) and the keyfix saves what must add up to hours a month in retyping.
Running swupdate or odin takes 5 minutes, tops 10...

I just got the message that I could install Gingerbread, but then it failed. Not sure why but Clockwork broke it.
So my question is, does GB fix the bluetooth problem involving wiimotes?
If she won't let you root it, then go ahead an OTA, if she has issues *let's hope so* then you'll be able to root and fix her issues.

I have the same issue. My wife has an Epic and she doesn't want me to change from stock. We just did the OTA GB update about a month ago and it broke a WHOLE bunch of stuff.
1) Random mic feedback/squealing.
2) 3G turns off unexpectedly, so when 4G isn't available we get no data service.
3) Gmail contact sync broke, getting google.apps. error message.
About to throw this thing off the roof. Maybe I'll convince her to let me go to Cyanogen 7.
I think most had all these issues because ota updates imo are a horrible and unreliable way to update. Especially updating over existing data from a previous build of android. Yea it sucks starting over, but... when you do it wipes everything clean and I rarely hear of people have those issues when it's done that way. I had issues myself at one point. Did a fresh odin install, formatted data, updated, formatted data again, then reinstalled everything fresh and haven't had any issues since. Like no issues at all.

I updated from Stock EC05 (Froyo) to stock EI22 (GB) as soon as the google download was available. That should be the same as OTA. I was in a rush b/c I tought the stability of GPS and bluetooth was bad on Froyo. I was wrong. The GPS was completely unusable after the update--GPS apps usually froze within 5min (GPS Status & CardioTrainer) and required multiple reboots to fix. Just a mess.
I was planning to do a factory reset and a clean install, but then I stumbled across GPS_fix for EI22. So I flashed the GPS_fix and it was stable after that.
After investing the time with time making sure I understood the process and how to back up and restore everything that was important to me. It is pretty painless.
Initially I did not consider rooting b/c that would preclude software support by Sprint. Well the couple times I went to the store for that, I was not impressed. If I know zero, I they know less than zero. So that is worthless. So why suffer for $100/mo when I don't need to. And Sprint still gets $100/mo, a Win-Win.
CWM5/CleanGB 1.0
Root it and throw CleanGB 1.0 on it in the middle of the night after backing up everything so she doesn't know you did anything to it. After she says how nice the new "Update from Sprint" is, then tell her you rooted it.
Problem solved!

I've had my nexus s for almost a year and it's randomly rebooting. While in android 2.3 it rebooted once or twice a week. I thought that ICS would fix it, but it didn't, and now the phone is still rebooting, but only once or twice a month. I wasn't able to notice any thing or app that could cause the phone to reboot. Sometimes it's during a call, sometimes during a game, sometimes while i'm staring at the homescreen. I've looked at some logs and the problem seems to be the OS, because it say something like "critical android error, rebooting" before it reboots. The phone isn't rooted or any thing like that, and now it's in 4.0.3, updated OTA. Any ideas??

If its doing it on stock I doubt that will fix it. Random reboots once or twice a month doesn't seem like a huge deal really. I've had just about every high end android phone under the sun and if I only got one or two reboots a month on any of them I'd be happy.

Once or twice a month is not bad at all...
A reboot once or twice a month isn't really bad, that's true, but I was curious to know what was causing the phone to reboot. Thanks anyway.
I'm on stock 4.0.3 (i9023), was on stock 2.3.6. Had maybe one random reboot since I bought the phone (wich was about 3 or 4 months ago) and I think it was on Gingerbread (not sure though)... Not bad since I had more of them when using custom roms on my tiny X8 I had before.
I've done a full wipe and a full update when updating to ICS.
Hey guys, I have similar problem. I bought my Nexus S second-handed half a year ago. I had 2.3.6 at that time, and it used to reboot itself like once a day. But as the time passed by, the ammount of restarts increased to 3-5 per day. When the ICS was released, I rooted and manually updated ICS (I have european i9023 version, I'm from Czech Republic), with stock ICS rom and CWM recovery 5.0.2.0. I thought it would stop, but i was wrong. Then I read it was caused by some widgets (like Beautiful Widgets, bought, not cracked). It worked for some time after unistalling, reboots decreased, but now I am on the old level with 5 restarts a day. I tried everything, even full wipe, formated USB storage, didn't help. Do you think another kernel and custom rom could help, or is it some kind of HW problem? Thanks for any advice.
Just wondering for those running android m whether there are any problems with the builds? For example, camera crashing, screen blank on wakeup, wifi issues, battery drain, and memory issues requiring reboot every week, etc. Basically, any issues with android m on n4?
I would like to upgrade, but I'm hesitant based on my experiences with the official lollipop release (I went back to kitkat).
Thanks.
With a Nexus in your hand, there's only one way to move and it's a no-brainer which way!
I have been on Marshmallow for almost a month now and it's pretty stable and a little faster than stock 5.1.1 (in loading apps as to what i feel). Battery life became an issue at first when wifi ate up all the battery. Resolved it later by disabling wifi scanning. No major issues now.
Give it a try, you'll probably like it.

A no brainer tbh the best (for me I use Minimal) I have ever had on my mako
I started playing with M when the alpha builds came out. I eventually settled with the 'Pure Nexus Project'.
Never had a problem so far... <knock on wood>
Thanks for all your replies. Time to get back into the rooting and flashing routine!
I've stock Axon 7 and nothing is modified or unlocked. After Noughut update last week my phone is have number of issues
1) Bluetooth seems to be unreliable and it sometimes works and something wont
2) Cannot play audio on any of FB or youtube videos for some reason.
3) Phone hangs from time to time while using Whatsapp and speicifically if I try to take a picture when inside Whatsapp it makes whole phone freeze.
4) Overall performance of phone seems to be slower compared to how it was prior to update.
I've 15GB of remaining space on my internal memory and more than 70GB of space on my Sandsik microSD card. So not sure why phone is behaving bit odd.
Anyone else having similar issues after latest update on their Axon 7 ?
TIA
check out the zte forums. Lots of complaints over there.

Maybe the next update will be more favorable. Brave souls to install a major OS update. I'm still unsure what to run on mine. For now, might just stick to MM for the next few months until things stabilize with 7.
I would say to backup your internal storage to the SD card and factory reset your phone. Not fun to do but I bet it will help.

I was having some issues, so I copied what I could (I am stock not rooted) to the SD card and did a factory reset. So far, so good. It is a pain, but probably good to start with a clean slate...
I'm same as op, stock unrooted or modified. I did nothing except apply the n update but have none of the problems he experienced. Bluetooth is solid, audio plays perfectly, I took and sent pics in whatsapp to see if anything happened, all good. If anything my phone is faster, and battery seems to be running about the same as it was on mm-around 6.5 hours sot. Very strange how some phones react completely different to the update.

After a couple of days, I notice a slowing down and lag in responsiveness. I boot into twrp and wipe cache and delvik. That does the trick for a couple of more days until it starts slowing again. Heard this can be done in stock recovery too.

I have not. I will try that. Thanks!
My battery has definitely taken a hit. Less than an hour of SOT for 28%.. That's noticeably worse than MM.
I went over 6 hrs sot my first full Nougat charge. I factory reset after upgrading to get the Verizon sim to work.
