Just got my unit last night and I was very fortunate not to have screen defects and my unit was running perfectly fine last night and until this morning the screen started to get really unresponsive. The lock screen pattern would be unusable for awhile coming out of sleep and when I do finally get in after like 6 tries, the home button would be the one unresponsive. From there the responsiveness improves BUT STILL this should not be happening.
I don't know if this is app / setttings related because when I was playing it around last night (3 hrs at least) I did not experience any issues at all.
My last resort is to try and do a factory reset and test the unit without apps and see what happens.

Hey guys, so this has happened the last two nights -- at exactly 2:02am my Droid X locks hard. Just did it again. I have no idea what is going on here but I have to pull the battery.
Last night it was on the charger (And the screen was on) so when I picked it up this morning it said 2:02 on the lock screen. Just now I was listening to music and dead stop -- screen was off but I looked at the clock on my computer and sure enough: 2:02.
Just set the clock manually to 2:01 and started a song -- let us see what happens in one minute.
*SIGH*
My phone has been working generally well..... but then I had a strange issue last night where the phone became super unresponsive accessing the SD, so I rebooted. Then the 2:02 lockup .. and then today the battery drained really quickly. A check of CPU spy and the phone never entered deep sleep. Battery manager showed the phone never going to sleep as the "awake" bar went across the whole screen even though Screen on was less than 1 hour total.
Manual clock set to 2:01 did not result in a freeze as I let it go to 2:03... I just set it to 1:59 to see if that makes a difference.
Stock latest GB, root, debloat done myself (fresh install and debloat a couple weeks ago) .... really at my wit's end with Motorola phones. I have a Droid X2 but find that phone generally unusable due to the extremely lackluster performance including the constant audio dropouts, even with the latest GB release.
Anyone else ever seen this 2:02 thing? Or have any idea where I can even begin to look to fix it? I don't see a crontab file on here. I haven't installed any new apps other than the usual updates that seem to happen every day.
....Manual clock is now at 2:04 (from 1:59) with no freeze. So I don't know WTF is happening. I had rebooted the phone around 8pm tonight .. actually had to pull the battery. Did a "reboot" from the Terminal Emulator and the phone went black and never started rebooting.
I'm so fed up with this damn phone!!
That's not happening to mines
Hard reset your phone n back up SMS, files, etc.
Try different battery!

Hi,
So I literally picked my N7 up an hour ago, came home, got to the home screen. Played around with it and plugged it into my laptop. Suddenly, it looked like the screen turned off. After a bit of poking around, it turns out the screen isn't off, the brightness is just ridiculously low.
Using my Nexus One as a flashlight, I'm able to just about make out the contents of the screen. I've turned auto-brightness off and WiFi, but no cigar, the screen is still barely visible.
Is this defective hardware, or has a software update fixed this for anyone? I was prompted to install an update, but in my excitement, I dismissed it.
Feeling like this right now ->
silly question but have you tried turning the brightness up? not had any problems with the brightness of my screen. even at 10% the thing is quite readable.
I tried that, it didn't make a difference. I think it's a hardware problem since I did a factory reboot (took me 10 mins just to tap the right buttons) and still has the same problem. Ordered a replacement
Did you try checking, saving, and unchecking auto? Mine is set to the "darkest" but it's still very bright
I didn't tbh, it was too difficult to find the checkbox for it. Without my N1 camera flash, it looked like the screen was off, and even with flash, I was basically fumbling around and hoping I would hit the right option.
I tried a factory reboot and that didn't fix it. The first time I booted, it was fine, so I reckon hardware issue. I've ordered a replacement, hopefully this'll last longer than 5 minutes
I have my phone for almost 2 months now.
Last week I updated to latest 4.4.2 available,
using the android popup asking me if I want to.
Everything was just fine, until 3 days ago.
Every day for the last 3 days I had one random restart per day.
Day 1...unlocking the lockscreen...
lockscreen was fine after several times pressing power button,
but unlocking the phone just made black screen instead of desktop screen,
notification bar worked fine on the top and sliding it down...
After minute or so phone restarted
Day 2...while opening messages
Black screen and restart after a minute.
Day 3
I turned the screen off and wanted to turn it back on and unlock it,
nothing happened after pressing the power button
I just toke the battery out and restarted the phone,
because I already knew that this would happen after waiting a minute anyway.
I did not install any new applications or change anything on the phone for the last 3 days
I have auto update disabled.
I participate in the Facebook android beta program,
but since the aplication was not updated for more than a week,
I doubt that it causes daily crashes, if it did not before.
I still have not found a solution yet.
Phone is rebooting once a day or once in a two days...
Nobody knows what could it be?
hi. i got my Note about weeks ago. i got it imported so cant get any warranty claim what so ever.
last night i was on tomshardware website and looked at exactly this page of gaming monitors. i tried to load the desktop site but it didnt.
i scrolled down to the bottom as everyone does. and i saw this issue for like 2 seconds, and then it said that browser has stopped. then it was ok.
now, today i woke up in morning , and out of no where, after like stopping my alarm, my Note 4's half screen started flickering and the image got stuck there.
then it stopped on its own.
now i went to Samsung test menu with *#0*# and checked that the screen test is ok, spen test is ok and everything is ok.
i started a game, and it game me that flickering again. what happens is like this . i dont have a camera to capture it, so thats why adding these images.
IT HAPPENS JUST LIKE THIS BUT ON MY DEVICE ITS THE LEFT SIDE, EXACTLY HALF OF LEFT SIDE OF DEVICE
i took the screen shot and its not the software. it shows all fine.
it stops when i rotate the screen and then happens again on its own, especially in games.
i know its ****ed already, but its sunday and markets here are closed, so as a last option im asking you guys is there any solution?
i have stock, unrooted lollipop.
Had my PH-1 for 3 months, today was the first freeze up of the phone, was stuck with home screen on and displayed.
Had to reboot by holding small button and Volume down. When phone rebooted it came up with the Android laying on its back with the open stomach hatch, had to reboot a 2nd time. Then had options like from Safe Mode, pushed small button below Volume to perform a regular restart.
Found my battery was running down quickly from a full overnight recharge. Looked at the Battery settings and it showed the camera was on top at 29% after about 5 hours WTH?? I did use the camera and this is what I was trying to use when the phone was frozen, but once the phone was rebooted, I snapped like 5 pictures and then I was pretty sure I closed the camera App. I tend to always try to close/kill all open Apps that I am not using.
So not sure what happened or why, just wanted to put this out there so others can read and may respond if this is a common problem due to some update or incompatibility.
Seems there may be a conflict with the latest Camera software and phone OS??
I had my phone freeze again today when I went to take a picture. This is an intermittent issue because I took quite a few pictures this morning without a problem. Then later this afternoon I took a single picture then wanted to take a 2nd and realized the phone was frozen.
Had to reboot the phone, seems to have cleared up for now?
I just noticed that the camera App just updated 6 hours ago on my phone. This was AFTER the 2nd freeze during camera usage.
Currently my phone is running Android stock 7.1.1 and the updated camera App is 0.1.095.007.
It is possible the latest camera App update has solved the freezing problem?
Will wait and update this thread in about a week about how things are working.
Just wanted to update this thread on phone freeze.
Seems that the problem may have been with a prior camera update. I had the phone freeze 2 times, shortly after the 2nd freeze the camera App was updated and since Camera App 0.1.095.007 was deployed I have not had any more problems with the phone freezing.
So hopefully I can say the Essential group was aware of the problem and release a very quick solution.
Still loving the Essentinal phone, would like more camera features, but I guess this will come with time.
Best part is I only charge phone every 2 days the way I use it. Have run Waze for over 3 1/2 hours multiple times with fresh charge and no external power and battery is still slightly over 50%.
So a new camera update version 0.1.097.006 was released and my phone was updated late yesterday or last night.
No problems since the last camera update that came out a few days after the update that caused the phone to lock up. Seems we are back to the same routine.
Used my phone to take a few pictures this afternoon, and guess what, phone locked up again after I took a few pictures and make an outing phone call right after taking the pictures. Put phone back on power after taking the pictures and making the call, I guess the camera App was still open in the background. Looked down and my phone display was on the camera App. Tried to close the App, no go. Unplugged the phone from power and the yellow power LED was still lit and the phone was non responsive.
Held down the power and volume down button to restart the phone.
Expect and hope an update the camera App is released soon to solve this issue. I have faith that the Essential team will resolve this quickly.
