I know there are lots of threads about problems with the Atrix including rebooting. What I haven't seen is any consensus on what to do about it. Mine reboots randomly 2 or 3 times a day. Sometimes when I'm on a call or using maps or just sitting idle.
Its happened on and off through all software versions. I'm currently running latest OTA (rooted) but otherwise stock. Is it a software bug to be fixed? Is it bad hardware? Should I seek replacement?
I love my Atrix and am really looking forward to Gingerbread next month. Is it too much to hope that this next update will solve the rebooting issue?
Flame away!

What launcher are you using? I ask because Now that I've swapped from LP+ to ADW EX I rarely get a "reboot" anymore. On the other threads you may have read that its possible you are experiencing a graphical shell crash and not a reboot.
I'm currently using apb 3d shell. But also occurred with LP. When the reboot happens, it goes all the way dark and proceeds through the whole boot animation. Seems like a reboot to me.

yeah mine randomly reboots too... its happened more lately -- but still only once a week maybe..
It happened once when I had GPS on -- my only guess is there has to be something with incoming/outgoing data where the phone resets itself to clear something out? i dont know jack sh1t about smartphones, but I do know that the times Ive caught it rebooting I noticed the phone being very sluggish and data trickling in even though I'm in a good service area.
wait for the GB update, it is supposed to fix the issue according to the reports. I personally have not had a single reboot using ADW EX.
I had the random reboot issue when I first got my phone in March. The beginning of April I reflashed stock sbf updated to latest version then got gingerblur (currently running gingerblur 4) haven't had a random reboot since I started using gingerblur maybe try that? I don't know that's what fixed it for me I just know it never random reboots since I did this. My two cents take it or leave it
I believe it's been around for about a week now, and I already see posts about a new wi-fi issue and the stock browser freezing. I'm well aware of the issues that were caused by the 3.1 update since ive had this tablet since 3.0, so I figured i'd come here to see what to expect if I take the plunge.
i'd love to know anything yall can tell me, but did they at least fix the old wifi glitch? and what's the story on the new one?
anyone? bueller?
After I updated a couple weird things.
I play Live holdem poker on it and the poker game keeps refreshing.
When it does it makes me fold the hand.
Had some great hands that got folded.
I also keep getting a "server timed out," or similar while on the net when it did not.
update; internet not timing out now.
The game is still folding my hands.
No problem with the game on my other tablet.
Otherwise everything is working good.
Been doing 3.2 for a while now, and no problems come to mind for me.

I guess that's why every so often I see service started or similar in the notification bar.
I do not notice any problem with it while on the net.
Just that one game keeps refreshing.
I have another poker game that does not do it at all.
I wouldn't mind it except that it has folded my hand at times when they were sure winners.
Videos occasionally stutter and jump frames, while audio remains fine. Happens a lot in YouTube.
Speaking of YouTube, it crashes a lot. Not force closes, but hangs for a bit and then goes back to the main YouTube screen.

You can blame that on a "cooked" ROM, I "believe" the OP was asking about stock 3.2, but I could be mistaken.
those issues were observed with cooked roms and with stock

If you already upgraded to 3.2 and lost your root, you can rollback to stock 3.0, then install one of the custom 3.2 ROMS in the developer’s thread that are rooted. They use a different boot loader and if you prefer stock, there are some ROMs that are very near stock. It might be a while before the devs crack the new boot loader.
I'm still seeing the stock music player not advancing to the next track if the screen is off... I know, there are other player options that don't have this issue, but it's still crap that the standard player is effectively useless and behaves differently than most music players on most phones/tablets.

Now that we have a way to install rooted 3.2 regardless of the bootloader there is little sense to continue trying to crack the new bootloader. The same happened with the Desire HD - once there was a way to downgrade, rooting was abandoned. I too prefer to have a way of rooting instead of downgrading, but it seems that downgrading is the easier path.
On topic: I have no issues whatsoever with the rooted near-stock 3.2 ROM. No wifi dropouts (not that I had any with 3.0 or 3.1) or anything like that.

I have had issues with 3.1 WIFI but it seems to be gone with 3.2
just loaded the 3.2 update and noticed that when I plug it in via USB to my laptop it sees both cads but it won't open the SD card. It registers the space used but won't display the content. Any thoughts?
Not rooted.
I got tired of waiting for the 3.2 update and decided to install a custom 3.2 ROM. Everything works great and I did have the short battery life issue mentioned in this thread..... I found it was all due to Wifi being set to always on. After I fixed that my battery life is excellent.
I get dropped hands in poker too but it's usually when I am in a weak wifi area of my house.
kjy2010 - use search.
klaus9000 - could you please tell me what do you have fixed regarding the wifi always on issue?
Has anyone else been seeing their tab freeze and can only be reset by hard rebooting? How can I fix this? It sucks!
Happens to me too and i'm on task 13. Went to the ics Kang and it didn't happen anymore
Ya I'm on task 13 and the freezing is unbelievably annoying. I just love tasks rom so much but I guess I might have to abandon it

It's happening to me too. I'm on TASK 10. I suspect that some recent app update unrelated to the ROM is causing the issue but I have no idea what app that would be.

4 people in this thread do have his ROM (GTASK) installed and that's more or less what I was hinting at. It doesn't help the OP at all to be on a stock rom (I'm assuming w/ lack of posts to get to the dev section) and 4 people...5 if you count me on Galaxy Task ROMS coming in saying, ya I have this problem too. Could they be releated, yes. But those people should be posting in Task's thread.
As for the OP...have you ran any updates? Stock ROM? Stock kernel? Is it freezing while doing something w/ the tab. Or the sleep of death as another poster alluded to which is basically when the tablet is in sleep mode or the screen is off and when you go to bring the screen back on it never wakes up.

I am using an unrooted, stock tab (for those who can't read sigs)
I was also experiencing this issue, I alsonoticed my market app "tablet wallpapers" would fc on the restart.
I uninstalled this app and have since not experienced one freeze.

Interesting. I've experienced one freeze and it locked up solid with the screen on. I was doing too much "multitasking" if you will, while a crap load of updates were downloading and installing. It wreaked havoc on the stock Touchwiz/3.2 but other than that, haven't had any problems.
Acually I'm on kang ics right now and I still have the issue, it not only freezes in mid use but also while in sleep mode. It happens occasionally, but it gets quite annoying....I'm taking it back to best buy tomorrow for the transformer prime good decision?

I've read about the GPS and wifi issues. It might have been fixed with the ics update. Check out their forums
Since I bought my tablet I've had issues where, generally when browsing, the screen would become unresponsive. Hitting the power or volume buttons worked but nothing from touching the screen. I originally was hard resetting the device and then I figured out that if I just power the screen off and back on that the touch panel would work again. This was all on the stock TW honeycomb non-rooted
I originally tried the third version of the ICS rom and never saw the touch panel issue but when I upgraded to the latest version recently I started seeing it again. I recently needed to have hardware acceleration on my tab so dropped back to Task's rom and it's doing it as well.
As I said it's usually when I'm in the browser but not always. I've seen it happen with PULSE (which uses the browser embedded) as well.
Not sure if this is the same thing you all are seeing or not but it's really annoying.
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.

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.

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.
Am I the only one? Every Jelly Bean ROM has the same problem. Sometimes it freezes, and it won't do a thing, I can't even unlock it, it just sits there, black, I can only reboot it by pulling out the battery. It's so annoying. At least 4 times a day. How do I fix this? I tried PA, Stock JB, and now I'm on latest CM10 nightly, I wiped cache and dalvik every time before I flashed a new ROM.
I hope you can help me.
Even I have problem with JB , it hangs for 2 3 seconds n becomes normal. No need to pull the battery n all , it becomes normal by itself. Using stock 4.1

I had the same issue - except that I was in ICS stock...
got worse and worse in time - in the end I even couldn't use my keyboard anymore (whole lower part was unresponsive)
I testet it with some apps from the market which showed that the lower part of my screen didn't response to any inputs
solution was to take my nexus s to a repair center and they replaced the whole touch screen unit
Can you send me links of those apps? My touchscreen responds well but the problem is that the phone entirely hangs, and when I lock it, I can't unlock it anymore. It is I9023

I think I fixed it. I deleted a MIUI folder on my SD card. Dunno what was it doing there, wipe didn't include it I guess. It took about 200mb of data from MIUI ICS to JB I had some time ago. It doesn't lag now.
I hope this helps someone.

Most Jellybean ROMs run much better than any previous versions for me on my Nexus S 4G. I always wipe and format all relevant partitions. I also at one point wiped the internal/SD storage on my phone. I have seen a weird flicker then freeze happen on all JB Roms/kernels but only happens once a month if less. Currently running RASBEAN JELLY and Bedalus's Marimite 4.7 kernel. Maybe try different launchers? Also try running phone without doing Google Restore. Slowly add back apps to identify the prob. Don't get why so many are having these issues w JB
