Hey guys.
On my D802 stock unrooted I began facing the issue of app-crashes, whether I am using them or not. It is not uncommon for me to wake the device from idle and find a "unfortunately, xxxxxx app has stopped" pop-up. Is anyone else facing this issue and are there any solutions to this other than a factory reset?

Over the weekend Lightflow was being wonky. Showing I had notifications when I had none.
So I uninstalled it, and hit restart to let the phone refresh..
Upon doing so, it bootlooped.... I think. After 3-4 minutes it came up with a Force Close window and said "System is Not Responding would you like to close? [Wait][OK]"
Has anyone else seen this or experienced it first hand?
As a fix, I removed the battery and let it set for a minute or so. Re-assembled, powered on, and it took a minute or so to boot fully after the removal of Lightflow and the bootloop, I think...
As the system hadn't loaded, I was unable to get SS's.. But does anyone have any insight on this?
Question: Do you have a Developer edition ? How are you on 5.0.1?
But the system not responding issue has also happened to me. Fixed it with a battery pull.
Not sure what causes the problem though. Maybe check logs?
Hi guys,
I've had a super weird issue with my phone for the past few months (although I don't remember exactly when the issue started happening). Basically, my phone randomly reboots when there is a chathead/bubble/etc on the screen. This problem happens when I use Facebook Messenger chatheads, bubbles by LinkBubble, and chatheads by YAATA. I don't think it's a program-specific issue, nor does my phone reboot every time I use those apps. It's very inconsistent and hard to predict.
Have any of you encountered this problem? Any ideas for what is causing it and/or how to fix it? It's really annoying to have my phone randomly reboot itself multiple times each day. I know I could just uninstall the three apps that seem to trigger the reboots, but I really like those apps and want to find a way to keep them around.
Have you over clocked at all?

No. The problems initially started when I was on stock, unrooted. I'm now on CM12.1 and rooted, but the random reboots are still happening.
Its been 1 week since I installed Slim-I9300-4.4.4..build.9.0-OFFICIAL-8312 on my S3 I9300. Suddently, a irritating problem of apps freezing at random has poped up. It is happening with any app I try to open. I have to reboot phone in such situation. I have enclosed the bug report for reference. Please resolve the problem :crying::rolleyes
So my first 6P worked fine, but had a small tear in the Display without me dropping it. Now I received a new device with intact screen, but the screen shows some weird flickering from time to time. I can't pin down the cause, but I realized the flickering when scrolling through the device settings, when setting the alarm in AlarmDroid, sometimes when using the keyboard and in some games. Also, the google keyboard sometimes stops reacting and hangs up and when i changed the screen brightness, the phone switched randomly to the lockscreen.
I already tried booting the phone in safe mode. Here I get an error "Google play services has stopped". I already tried updating the play services, but the problem persists.
Are these hardware related problems? I already tried a factory reset, but the problems persist. Is anyone else experiencing similar problems and worked out a fix?
Are you completely stock?
Yes, I am completely stock. I copied the apps/data from the old phone via wifi.

The flickering could be a hardware problem. You could try starting completely fresh by performing another factory reset and flashing the factory images, but that would mean having to unlock your bootloader. I'd probably just get it replaced.
Hi,
I sent an Essential Phone to my mom oversea, and her phone has been having this issue where when she uses the the camera app, phone heats up, freezes, and eventually shuts down. It has the latest version installed (OPM1.180104.166). Has anyone else experienced this issue? If you know a fix, please share.
Thank you

It's weird. I just came from my vacation, which i used the essential to take photos and gps. And never afront any of this issues.. never heat up or freeze.
I'm on the same May update and used my camera extensively the last two days w/o any issues or overheats.
What's the signal like where she's using the phone? I'm wondering if the issue might be compounded by a weak signal area, especially if you're using an app that continuously backs up your photos to the cloud.
She should factory reset the phone and choose the fresh start option when setting up the phone again to verify that there isn't a software problem.
There are hardware problems with some Essential Phones that causes them to overheat and become unstable which leads to the phone freezing, rebooting or shutting down. The issue seems to be rare but it has been reported by some owners.
If the factory reset doesn't fix the issue it's almost certainly a hardware issue.
