So I've tried everything I could think of. Reflashing ROM, using a different ROM, different browser, everything minus a different modem, which I'm not sure would really do anything. But where I'm at is that anytime I go to status on facebook it closes the browser back to the home. I'm on Frozen ROM at the moment, I've tried on stock, same issue. Tried on the ASOP ROM, same issue, tried on those ROM's with Dolphin, Miren, Firefox, Stock Browser, all the same issues.
So will a modem actually make a difference is how the phone handles? Or is it more related to data speeds? I don't know what else to do, this is driving me absoluetely nuts. Thanks Guys.
Try this go into settings / manage application / all application & wipe data from browser & wipe data from Google search then reboot if that doesn't work I don't know

Figured I would move it to the proper area. Haha. I really appreciate all the help Bro. Tried the other route you said, nothing doing. So I don't know either. It's annoying though. I think I got the phone into a bootloop now tried to install a different ROM see if that would work, and doesn't seem to be working. Piece of crap. Just my luck. Ha.`
What kernals were/are you running?
Okay, so I did ALL that, and nope, same issue. I don't know what the hell the issue is, I thought it might be the kernal, but when I flashed back to stock, had the same issue, with no kernal. So I don't know.....doesn't do this on my Photon.
odin back to stock
and clear out the sd card. redownload everything and rebackup.
Did you uninstall the Facebook app and redownload it? Wipe data in it before uninstalling. Did you try a different browser like Miren or Dolphin?

Well, you aren't running without a kernel - the kernel is the core of the Android operating system.
Maybe you're having a hardware issue, such as a touch screen that's acting up (you said it wasn't force closing or anything, right?) - it could be registering false touches in the wrong location... I'm just taking a shot in the dark on this one, since it sounds like you've tried restoring just about everything...
I would suggest reformatting your sd card (copy the contents to your computer first, the card WILL be erased).
Then, Odin a full stock tar (try DI18, you'll get an OTA to EC05 after you boot).
Then use the one click root and recovery - be sure to have the rom on your sd card, especially if you use an ext4 recovery like 3.1.0.1, because of the file system conversion (stock kernel won't boot ext4, so you'll need to flash the rom and an ext4 kernel before rebooting from recovery - Genocide or ACS's twilight zone or vision kernel... I would stick to Genocide for now, under worked the best for me)
You might want to skip the rooting step momentarily, so you can see if the same problem occurs on a completely stock setup.
Finally, I would suggest carefully cleaning your touch screen with something mild - I use eyeglass cleaner (safe for glasses with all the expensive protective coatings), other users here might have other suggestions.
This should cover all of your bases, and if you still have problems, it might be a hardware issue.
I do want to point out that (unless I'm missing something about what you're trying to do) the facebook that you access from the browser is loaded from their servers every time you connect - it isn't software on your phone. It cannot be the older version, not like an app, which has to be updated on your phone. The pandora issue sounds like a different issue, but I still need to test that (had to get to sleep last night, I was passing out mid-sentence, lol)
EDIT: re read the first post... Pandora issue was mentioned in the SRF thread... But it seems you did try stock and other roms...
When you say it closes back to home, I think I misunderstood - I had an issue once or twice where facebook would act up, going back to my facebook home page, but did you mean that the browser simply closes and dumps you back to your phone's home screen?
Because that could be as basic as your capacitive home button registering a false touch (the opposite of the unresponsive button issue we're all used to, lol)... But cleaning the touch surface could still help... Turn the phone off first, and apply whatever cleaner you use VERY lightly... Don't use household cleaners, if you don't have eyeglass cleaner then I would research whether rubbing alcohol is safe for gorilla glass...
Side note - swype suggested "guerilla" glass... made me chuckle...

What he said. ^... Also I would let it
Repartition and reset time when you Odin back to stock. I know most people say not to when flashing some things, but this would be an exception. Also when you flash to stock use the victory.pit file as well as the ROM tar.

All righty. I'm gonna try all that. As really nothing else has worked. I do think it's something with the screen though.....I just can't figure out why it only happens on the NEW facebook. I got her using the APP now she was only using the browser before, but I would punch say four letters it would bump a couple more then close. So you may be onto something with that touch screen registering incorrect keys so would that have anything to do with the contents of the SD card itself? Or is that an actual hardware conflict with the facebook (newer version) of the software? Cause it works fine on the APP. So I guess I'm basically at a loss for how this really makes any sense ,but really appreciate all the help from you guys.
My duaghter has an A500 I bought her for xmas, but I was "testing" it for about a month prior to that. Up until now it hasn't had any issues.
The tab is stock GEN2 pre-rooted with latest Thor kernal.
I picked her up this weekend and she told me she couldn't open a bunch of apps. After playing around with it, I found that around half or more of the apps installed would force close when trying to open. I tried formatting cache and rebooting and it didn't make a difference. The only fix I found was to uninstall the apps one by one and reinstall them. A lot of work, but the tab seems to be working fine now.
Has anyone else experienced this, or can at least give a hint as to why this might have happened?
there are alot of things that can go wrong..
i would UNROOT IT Before giving it back to her..Android is not immune from Rogue software.
all it takes is one app to change a ui setting Overclocking.. Can cause Currupt data. same as on a pc.. ITS A VERY Loaded question as to what causes it . Maybe unroot the tablet before you give it back to her..
who knows for sure..
Yeah, I figured it could be about a thousand different things that caused it; was just curious if anyone else had this problem before on their A500.
There are a few apps I have on the tab that need root, so I don't really want to unroot it. She doesn't put any apps on it without asking "dada's" permission first (no net at her house anyway).
We'll see if it happens again. I really don't feel like messing with it too much right now with ICS around the corner.
When I see all these posts about problems, I honestly can not relate at all because my TF101 with ICS literally has no problems at all. I've downloaded about 30 apps so far.
Other people who say they have no problems also usually mention that they did a factory reset before upgrading to ICS.
Just a coincidence?
I did and haven't had as many issues as others....some tho - tearing when expanding the recent app list, some random app crashes that I'm blaming on the apps....I did have a reboot cycle yesterday after waking up on battery from the dock...a cold boot remedied that.....other than that it's been a good update....
mines running smooooth as well, I did a full wipe so doing a factory rest didnt make sense to me. I'm running AR HD..
No factory reset for me and I'm good so far.. well I just got it back from Asus, I think they might have done one lol

full wipe does what factory reset does plus more.... so you did do factory reset. Can't believe you are taking it that literally.

Nope. And I upgraded directly from a custom ROM.
100+ apps installed before the upgrade and running great afterwards: no random reboots, battery draining or app crashing. The only issue I have is with Chrome occasionally locking up. However I attribute that to its BETA status.

Perhaps ... perhaps not. A problem-free ICS upgrade, however, is not the sole provenance of those who factory reset/full wipe.
--L.
I did a full wipe when updating to ICS. Was fine for the first few days and now I have reboots/shutdowns maybe once a day. I had battery drain once as well. Its actually been pretty good other than that but I have kept it pretty standard with only a few apps as I am waiting for some better ROMS to come out with fixes.

I did not wipe or factory reset. Have had one LOD 3 hours into sleep mode, one boot loop when I pulled out the SD card and one spontaneous reboot soon after coming out of sleep mode and rotating from landscape to portrait. Have had various Google app issues that are working themselves out.
I was prepared to wipe after I took the OTA, but haven't because I have had zero issues. I use my tf101 everyday, and it hasn't locked up or randomly rebooted once. I have about 60 apps installed.
Nope. I just hit update.
I've had the weird shutdown during sleep only once since first day update was available for USA.

I only had an error that Android media closed out something like that for the first few days after update.
Clearing caches in my music apps seemed to work at first. Now that is back and my tf had been shutting down while in sleep. Just put it down to sleep for about 20 mins came back to Android logo on the screen with the circle froze.
It seems like this is getting worse for mine. tried everything but a wipe. Stock has not been rooted.
have always been on stock since the beginning. Never had any major issues. Was considering rooting to get cornerstone when it is stable.
Until than what other options can fix the reboots.
For some reason on honeycomb downloading something or the honeycomb status bar would always flash and mess up. I downloaded lots of stuff and tweaked it so that might be why. I wiped after coming from revolver and went to stock ICS. When it updated it was crazy slow and laggy. After every app was restored from the market I reset it and it FLEW. It just flies in terms of speed.
When I did my titanium restore I restored EVERYTHING. Not just apps but system data as well. When I did that I noticed it was slower and laggy and that notifications and download gitch was present.
I did factory reset again and only restored the app data this time and it's perfect now. No more lag or anything. Titanium back ups are fine and everything but if you were currently having lag or weird problems restoring the system settings doesn't help. I did not need them anyways. I love ICS. I really love how we get the status/notification bar that the prime has. Also the sony tablet and other tablets now have the little box markers at the top which let you know what page you are on. I'm glad we get that now as part of ICS too.
Factory reset definitely helps. Also I got to see that cool droid restoration image when it was resetting everything. I have never seen that before and it looked awesome.
no factory reset, Everything working good
This thread is complete nonsense, and to prove it, I have two TF101 tablets here. One was wiped before *and* after the ICS update, and had almost nothing reinstalled on it. The other was not wiped before *or* after. There are pretty-much no programs installed in common on both. Both are experiencing random, spontaneous reboots. Both are experiencing lockups. I've yet to see a boot loop on the one that wasn't wiped, but that's just chance -- I'm quite certain if I left it long enough, it would boot loop too, just like the one that was wiped.
horndroid loves to try and suggest this is somehow a user problem, but it's not. It's a fundamental problem of the stock Asus ICS ROM.
My result;
Normal upgrade from HC to ICS = strange behauvor and reboots.
Factory reset and upgrade to ICS = works like a dream, no big complains...
After ICS I have notice that some times ( one or maybe two times a day) screen is flash /flickering - but only for a micro second. Statusbar sometimes flickering when open, but not a big deal...
I have about 200 apps installede, many from 2 parts Market ( read Aptoide)

Yea it's definitely something that will be patched by Asus. I have the random reboots and the flickering screen.

I had a small problem when I updated my asus tf. Sometimes. when I pressed the home button, all the icons disappeard and I couldn´t do almost nothing with the launcher.
Then I decided to do a factory reset and now all is going well on my transformer

Yeah. It is hard not to notice this in about everyone of his replies. I am glad his works, but a growing majority of people it does not.
So i hope this anticipated fix which ASUS is rolling out NW fixes the probs-- Hum!! I seem to recall being called out as spreading rumors in another thread about the ASUS fix. - Well like i said the fix is on its way.
No wipe from rooted stock ... the odd second of screen flicker when running onskreen but nothing to cry about. All good really
My EEE Pad was running like **** (i.e. sleep of death, rapid drain, huge lag, random reboot) I have upgraded from stock 3.2 without performing factory reset.
I tried cold boot and that did not help anything.
So I took the plunge and did full wipe + cold boot. So far have not had a single issue. Just FYI.
Mine actually appears to be getting worse and worse, quickly. The stock apps are going o pieces. Google Maps repeatably crashes if I zoom in beyond a certain level, or if I enable the satellite view layer. Gmail is near-unusable -- email counts are frequently incorrect, or are correct but new emails that are visible through a web browser don't show up when you reload in the app, the app repeatably crashes when I click on certain email threads to view them, and randomly crashes at other times, sometimes within seconds of opening the app in the first place. Google Reader likewise often locks up, doesn't mark posts as read when you click on them, doesn't reload posts correctly, etc.
It's *only* the Google apps that are misbehaving; well, other than the OS itself regularly, randomly rebooting, freezing, or getting stuck in boot loops, this is.
And this is all on a stock, unrooted TF101 that has relatively few apps installed, and was wiped both before and after the ICS update.
Looks like when this new patch arrives, I'll be wiping and starting from scratch yet again, in the hopes of resolving this mess.

no not overclocked. root is only changes from stock

i dont get it. strange
Thinking about flashing ICS or tiamatxoom on this sucker.
while back i got a permissions changing app, because i got alittle tired of so many apps self starting , the app mentioned that certain permission changes could possibly damage my os. Is this true?
also noticed that the ota nagging has stopped
Flash ICS, definitely. But undoing the permissions changes might be the answer. If it was in permissions denied, I know sometimes that can cause problems. Using autostarts has never caused this issue for me.
Yes!

Hi!
I'm suffering from reboots on my Note (also on my S2...). I call them "black" reboots because the screen becomes black, there's no start-up animation , I only hear the sound, and the home screen don't comes up, or it do it after a long delay. So, the screen is mostly black. Until 2-3 minutes pass, and reboot again.
-Sometimes occurs simply starting up the phone in the morning. I'm advised of a slow launcher load (Go Launcher, but it can occurs on TW).
If I go to System Monitor (System Panel app), I see the 2 cores working hard, toghether or alternating. The "System" app goes mad. The battery drain becomes quick, and the phone back around the camera begins to warming...
After 2-3 minutes with this behaviour, the "black" reboot comes up. Often, after rebooting, the message "Unable to run System process"- Force Close-Wait (or so) appears in the black...etc
If I force shut-off, then I wait and then shut-on again, all things seem normal, until...reboot
-Factory reset (through Recovery, of course) seems arrange all things, until I load again the apps. I've unistalled all "tweaking" apps for overclocking, Ram managing, etc. I only have Root explorer and Speed Boost as Root operating things...
- My Rom is an odex Pre-rooted XXLC1, Modem XXLB2, but the multiCSC is not from it.
How the phone can become so unstable with only the half memory app capacity occuped? (800 Mb or so of 2GB)?
And how can it often occurs on updating apps from damned Google Play Store?
Is worth to flash another Rom (not ICS...), or re-flash same with its CSC included?
Sorry if I've been too long. In my searchs I only see things about bricks or another type of reboots.
Thanks for read me!
i get these once every two weeks or so.
I also get these type of reboots, I get them on RocketROM and on previous roms I've had installed the only way I've found to get out of them is to boot into recovery and wipe the caches. Before I was rooted I removed some of the apps I'd moved to the SD Card and that sometimes stopped the boot loop. I now only update apps one by one someone suggested it was to do with the amount of apps moved to the sd card and the multiple updating of them. I'm still not sure of the cause I know its the only flaw on my Note that I'm fed up with.
Im running stock ics rom straight from samsung only with root and getting the same behaviour as yourself. About 2 to 3 times a week...

Guys, i don't know if I'm going to cry of pain or to laugh of huge joy, after seeing this is almost ..."normal"
We have a beautiful 500€ plastic and metal block which is unable to perform the half of things it's supposed to do! And we don't know exactly why...
Sure I do wipes, but most of times this fixes nothing, and the reboot returns.
If I re-install with Titanium, I am very careful unsellecting into the batch which things can cause problems, installing only a few apps.
After some days, I go on installing manually some others.
The Play updates are critical, as I see... Why? How it's possible that this "beasts" with so much RAM and so much App Memory (2 GB on S2 and Note!) fail down handling its management, with their super 2 core CPU's?
It's too serious. How we can live with a 500€ phone rebooting bad 2 times a week?
Can you imagine that on your computer, forcing you to re-install OS and apps once or twice a week? It's crazy. Is Android going crazy?
Maybe Samsung don't like Root users? Have HTC same problem?
There's someone with a non rooted phone with same problem?

I have this Rom, based on strict stock, but rooted: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24690725&postcount=154
Mine is the XXLC1
No tweaks, no overclocking, no CWM...
I had the same problem when my GN was on rooted LC1. I disappeared after I made a factory reset and let my apps reinstall by Play Store.
Yes me too got out of this strange reboot by a factory reset today morning.
Something is messed up .....
Very difficult to find that something ...
better idea would be a factory reset .....
I think the problem is with the Stock Samsung Rom, it doesnt happen in CM9 Roms. I had this problems wen on ROcket rom, but vanished when on Asylum Rom.
go wild...

Yesss, very difficult. I'm not on advanced technical stuff, but my intuition says that is something deep inside the Rom, something that is related to CPU-Memory management.
By the way, do you have/had many apps (250+)? Have you made recently massive update and/or installing apps, or massive "App to SD" moves?

You are pushing me a little step more to the wild side of Android.... Here I'll go!
It seems to me that the Note is a strangely different phone of, say, S2. Some apparently "simple" apps that I carry on from 2 years ago don't run right.
And the little lags that sometimes appear on touching icons, never, never appear on the fast S2.
