Me also, was using Firmware 0202 and he was Rooted.

Rooted. Latest firmware. I've only had freezing when playing The Walking Dead. I have not experienced it with anything else yet. I use MOJO for 1080 movies, streaming, playing android games and emulation, surfing etc. without any issues with those.

I got bad freezing yesterday tried different things fans and stuff was getting freezing while streaming on XBMC and downloading from the play store so today I decided to have no fans disconnected the Ethernet cable just used WiFi been streaming all day and have downloaded big games from the play store and it hasn't crashed yet

I heard about this mounts ago, so why have Mad Catz not fixed this BIG problem yet with a Firmware update???
I think because it's a hardware problem, why else would they not fix that problem with a Firmware?

Rooted latest firmware.
My mojo also locks up while playing Walking Dead and pauses/freezes while downloading from play/app store!
Wifi seemed better for a while but eventually got pauses/freezing on wifi as well.
I have had a support ticket open with Mad Catz for a while now and so far they are blaming it on software
and keep asking me to reset/clear data.
I have asked for a replacement unit to prove it is not hardware but have had no response!

I have two Mojo units and have never experienced any type of freezing issue such as you gentleman (or gentlewoman) speak of. Perhaps you received a bad batch?

So I have recently been experiencing more freezing. First only noticed it when I played Walking Dead as stated above. After a couple of episodes of freezing on that game I just uninstalled it and moved on. More recently after using the MOJO for streaming shows from apps I've been getting the freezing and it will make a humming noise when it freezes. I have noticed this both on a wired connection and wireless. I've also experienced the screen going black while playing a video, but you can still hear the audio. This requires exiting to the home screen and going back into the app and starting the video again from where it left off. Ticket submitted today. I like my MOJO, but this is not acceptable.

Have u still had the Ethernet lead in when u where on WiFi pull the lead out completely mine freezes when the lead is in but I don't get any freezing when I keep the lead out and just use WiFi give it a go

I discovered that my MOJO was freezing in Walking Dead due to the "GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys" app! If I do not hide the softkeys it doesn't seem to freeze. I have tried "full!screen" (I don't like to see the softkeys while playing games) and it hasn't frozen/locked yet. The only problem I still have is the pausing/freezing when downloading from play/app store. It is better on wifi but not perfect. I prefer wired!

I have the lead out and have still had the freezing. Everything works great on my Wi-Fi right up until a freezing episode occurs during streaming.

I also thought it may have been the GMD Auto hide so I uninstalled it and installed "fullscreen". I have had freezing with fullscreen installed as well. It seems to happen randomly during streaming. I'm going to keep testing things out and will probably try The Walking Dead again. I may try a factory reset at some point after I finish playing GTA III if it's still occurring That game has run perfectly though.

Another app that requires root and does modification to the default user interface. Guys, be careful regarding apps that require root access. If the mojo is not on the supported list for any of these types of apps that actually modify the interface, I would say to proceed with caution. Root is a powerful thing.

Agreed my wifi is dead locks webpages if it's on with ethernet in,i guess it's a conflict of the m.o.j.o probably saying wifi ethernet wifi ethernet wifi ethernet forever and can't decide so just [email protected] up in a timeout (hangs).Not tried on wifi only yet though must have a go at that,possibly could be the update messed the wifi up on root or on both none root and rooted devices?

I haven't had any recent freezing issues during streaming. I have gone back to ethernet with wifi turned off and seems to be doing ok. I unplug the unit every couple of days.
I have one really weird issue. It only occurs when streaming video, such as from HBOGO, never when playing games. I will be watching and the video will go black. There is still volume, but no video. Hitting the volume button on my tv remote brings the video back immediately. I only found out the fix by trial and error as the MOJO controller won't bring back the video, only the TV remote. Anyone have any ideas what might be causing this? HDMI issue? It happens randomly and will happen multiple times during a show. Sometimes within a few minutes of starting a show, other times it takes a bit before it will do it.

no more freezing
Just like to report that I have now been going a few weeks now and have had no freezing what soever since I stopped using Ethernet really glad now I didn't send mine of working like a charm

Your not using a mouse by any chance?Or leaving the mouse cursor on the top black area of the screen,as on my unit if i leave the mouse cursor on the top bar from time to time i get intermitent flickering (black screen/normal screen) or the screen just goes solid black.So i just place the cursor anywhere but when i am using the unit and it does not happen then.

Yeah, I get that too, only on at the top and it's only a few pixels (hoz lines), just blanks out the display.
not sure what's going on there, just figured it's the TV which has overscan issues anyway.

No sorry, I don't have an ouya.
Re the jetson tk1 deveoper board, I don't see why it can't run android, I'm sure someone will have a androind rom for it.

Backdrop Not Activating Automatically

Has anyone else had an issue where the backdrop refuses to kick in automatically after the preset time? It simply won't activate for me on its own (neither daydream nor color works). If I manually start it from the settings menu it will launch. I've tried rebooting the device and it still won't work. Any ideas?
UPDATE: I've been doing some troubleshooting, and after uninstalling Plex and rebooting, backdrop starting working again. I then installed Plex again, and it briefly worked, but then stopped.....so I'm wondering if Plex is causing the issue. I suppose the next step is to leave Plex uninstalled for a while and see what happens.

I have the same problem. What happens is the screen just goes black when it is supposed to go on. Like you I can run it manually through the settings. I don't even have Plex installed so I have no idea why it stopped working. I can't understand how there is no simple way to restart the player too...
Based on my experiences so far, it appears that Google rushed this unfinished prototype out to the market. I have so many little problems and find that video playback is choppy at times. This thing needs some attention quickly.

I agree. It definitely seems pretty buggy at this point.
So far, in my case though, it's been running much better since I uninstalled Plex. Also, I was having an issue with the microphone on the remote controller REALLY sucking. It would hardly ever work properly. It would regularly not pick up any of what I said or pick up only the first word or so. BUT, since uninstalling Plex, the microphone has been working perfectly. It's like night and day. I'm going to keep monitoring it, but it seems like Plex was definitely causing this problem for me in addition to my backdrop problem.
With all of that said, perhaps you installed a different app that's causing problems for you?

SM-N900W8 & CM11 M12 bugs and issues :(

I have a Canadian Note 3 (SM-N900W8), it's KNOX 0x0 rooted and I have CM11 M12 installed. I have been using only the M builds since I got this phone, I didn't even set up Touchwiz when I got it, I rooted and installed Cyanogenmod out of the box.
Now, with the new CM12 builds coming out, what happened to CM11, are they going to fix the remaining issues? Or did they just bail on legacy KitKat users because I'm having TONS of problems and I don't want lollipop, it runs like absolute crap for the nightlies right now and CM11 M12 isn't much better. Bluetooth takes a couple of attempts to connect, when it does my phone runs super slow to the point it force restarts. For instance, if I'm driving around, listening to music on the car stereo, pull over some where, find a new album on Google Music, start playing that, it's all good, do this a few times, every time I use my phone it gets slower and slower until it force restarts and then bluetooth has trouble connecting again. I've tried this on a few other vehicles of different brands and aftermarket stereos and it's the same result.
Audio is all funky when bluetooth is on too, it sounds like robots for the system sounds and if bluetooth drops while it's connected the music starts playing from the phone and sounds all roboty. I always do clean flashes too and the latest Paranoid Android GAPPS every time I reflash, the ROM is fine out of the box, works flawless for the first few days but after awhile, it becomes so bad I have to backup, wipe, reflash, and start over for another few weeks.
Another issue is somewhere between M8 and M12 one of the builds corrupted my SD card, I tossed in a second new card, it was corrupted again, FutureShop won't give me another one and said my phone is breaking them so I'm SD-less right now.
There are also quite a few apps that force close, but always at random, it's never when doing the same thing over and over, for instance, I can be scrolling through G+ and it tells me settings has stopped working, wasn't even using settings, didn't even have it open, haven't clicked it since booting my phone, just randomly stops working for no reason, this also happens all the time with the Camera, it says it just stops working when I haven't even used it and then if I try to use it, it says the camera is disconnected and won't work until I reboot.
I turn my phone off every night while it's charging and turn it back on every morning so every morning it gets a fresh restart, and I have to restart my phone probably 5ish times a day, if I'm using bluetooth more then normal then there's quite a few more unintentional reboots in there as well.
The last issue, which is a known issue is NFC not working, is there a fix for this yet? I kinda miss this feature and with how flawed CM11 is getting I don't know where to turn since they always seemed to be the most stable out of everything I've tried.
Any before anyone says Temasek's CM builds, I tried it, the final for CM11, it was worse then M12, it's exactly the same as M12, but every issue happens more frequently. Also, the pull down menu (when pulling down from the top right to show toggles), the bottoms of the last row was cut off so it didn't look very appealing either, it also used WAY more battery life, I usually get a full day out of one charge, so around 18 to 20ish hours on one charge, with temaseks cm11 I had to charge my phone half way through the day, sometimes my phone would just die on me without me knowing, the battery usage was always Android System.
A new problem that just happened lastnight was Google Keyboard was deleted and only the voice search would work, but "voice search can't be reached" so I couldn't search for another keyboard app from the playstore. I also used the stock GAPPS so AOSP keyboard is replaced with Google Keyboard, I had to reflash again this morning because I couldn't figure out the keyboard thing, there wasn't even a keyboard under languages in settings so I had no options to pick which keyboard to use. When I reflashes this morning I used the Modular GAPPS to it keeps the AOSP Keyboard just in case this happens again but I'm getting really tired of only having a reliable phone for a few weeks.
So, are there any fixes for these issues?
Bluetooth taking multiple attempts to connect
Bluetooth forcing random reboots
Bluetooth making audio from device all funky and sounds like a robot
Corrupting SD cards
Random system apps stopping without me even using or opening them
Google Keyboard vanishing
Are there any stable ROMs I could try for the HLTE? Maybe one that has working NFC? I'm almost thinking of going back to stock *throws up in mouth* but I don't know what else to do with how many bugs there are and Lollipop is only getting worse with the issues.
I'm also trying to avoid Lollipop because everything is white, Note 3 is an AMOLED display, each pixel illuminates on it's own so white screens use WAY more battery life then black ones which was a feature of Temasek's CM11 that I liked, had the option in settings to make everything black like the good old days.
So guys? Really out on my luck here, not sure what the next step is, any fixes for these problems? Any other ROM's I could try? Would flashing a new recovery and reflashing CM11 M12 fix some of these issues? I'm using Xiaoli CWM v6.0.4.7(20140125). Would the fact that KNOX isn't tripped have something to do with this? I really don't understand why there aren't more posts for these issues which leads me to believe I'm one of the only ones experiencing them.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated
EDIT:
I forgot to mention that when recording audio or video, it's as if the mic gain is set on full so even the slightest sound is pure distortion, normal talking volume and it clips, I found an app that lets me choose between the mics and when I pic the external mic, it's all muffles as if something is covering it but my phone wasn't in a case while I was testing so I'm not sure what the deal is there but I can't record any decent audio with this and when I record in 4K using Cinema FV-5, all the videos turn out looking like Anaglyph 3D but all pink and green, it's really weird and I don't understand why, but 1080p at 60fps works fine.

I am on CM12 and luckily have had no issues at all. I came from KK 4.4.4 and still have the NB7 BL and modem. I tried one of the guys slim ROMs alpha builds but had issues (probably operator error) but I've tried Bluetooth, GPS, WiFi , LTE etc and everything is good. Not sure what to tell you. I do however always wipe internally and d/l all my apps again through WiFi. A bit cumbersome I know but it won't give me any residual data.

Stuttering issues with Netflix

Recently I have been getting micro stuttering issues with my Shield while using Netflix. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? I saw some threads regarding this on the official Nvidia forums, but I could not find a fix that would work for me

If you are on stock software, I had issues with video stutter due to refresh rate's not properly changing. It also could be the infamous 1.4 update causing issues. Not sure if there much you can do, but there are updates in the works to marshmallow and that should fix a lot of problems.

So, I'm not insane.
YES. watching netflix on my shield tv with 1.4 update.. I can't stand the stuttering. It doesn't bother my wife, but it's driving me crazy. micro stuttering is the best way to describe it. Just barely noticeable. The video jumps about 1 frame every 20 seconds and the audio pops about every ten. Hope the next update fixes it!!

You could always try reverting to the 1.3 update as less people are having issues with it. I had that issue with kedi until I switched to the Full Android 1.8 ROM, but others seemed to not have the same issue.

Solved... for now.
Easiest, and laziest way (was suggested in NVidia forums) for me was to go to my google play store find the Netflix app and uninstall it, I also hit the settings and turned off Auto updates. That left me with the base Netflix app that came with the device from the factory. No more stuttering or audio popping. I have a basic setup, HDMI to TV 720p. TV speaker output for my sound. Works great for me. Nvidia claims to be working on a fix in the next OTA firmware update.
Hope this helps someone!

Phone freeze/crash

So I was watching a video on YouTube today (an s7 edge teardown video ironically) when all the sudden the picture froze and the phone started making a loud buzzing noise and was unresponsive to touch. I held the power down and the phone reset. Upon rebooting the phone was majorly lagging and struggled to catch up with any input commands. It finally smoothed itself out and seems fully recovered from the freeze up/crash now but my question is has anyone else experienced or heared of this on this device or any ideas as to what may have caused it?

Just happened to me watching a video on Facebook anyone have any answers yet s7 edge 32gb gold

I noticed something whaky when watching YouTube videos but I had read it had to do with the 1440p resolution... So I changed it to 1080p and it's been fine since... Maybe the app needs an update.

I'm on Verizon with an S7, but fwiw, mine just crashed as I was watching *cough*...a certain type of video... in chrome incognito.
Anyway, I tried everything, but only managed to get a few sounds and vibrations out of the device for 5 minutes. Then the camera flashlight turned and stayed on for about 10 minutes, but the sounds and all other responsiveness ceased. Finally about 15 minutes later, some button mashing somehow got me into maintenance boot mode, where I went into safe mode and rebooted from there. Everything seems to be normal again though. Incredibly strange. I've only had it for 3 days and not even changed much from stock yet.

The same exact thing happened to me with buzzing sound while watching YouTube. But mine automatically restarted. I'm thinking of returning this phone

I exprienced this problem today while watching youtube. The phone freezed and I had to reset it. Does anyone know what might have cause this?+

This happened to me when setting up Samsung Pay. Had to hard boot.

Same thing happened to me while watching YouTube as well on my s7 edge. I'm concerned.

I had the same problem. I cleared the cache and it's working fine now.

Had the same problem watching a YouTube video days ago. Hasn't happened since thankfully.

Did you guys disable a bunch of apps in the system?

were any of you using the phone in a case. I noticed that I was listening to streaming radio ( on lte) and playing candy crush and twice the phone crashed and rebooted. I noticed the phone was very hot. I do have a case and I havent tried it without the case to see if I could replicate the issue.

I have been having random freeze and reboots a least 3-4 times a day. Hoping a software update fixes it

This also happend to me only while watching youtube thankfully I was at home and not out in public nowhere bc the loud sound was so loud it was kinda scary. This has happend to me twice so far and idk if it has anything to do with it but I was using a custom theme both times. And using stock theme it has never happend.

Have ANY of you guys tried to wipe your cache from recovery settings? In having horrid battery life so I did this and it took away some lag I was having. Hopefully makes my battery life better

my phone completely crashed during the new update! Tmobile is sending me a new phone

Me too when I was watching youtube

At launch my phone was working fine. Up until the last update (not the latest July 8th one) and after my phone would crash constantly. It only crashed once during a YouTube video. But crashes in any another things I'm doing.
The sound cuts out too, but I'm not entirely sure if it's the wwe supercard game I play or not 99% happens when I'm playing that game. But it has happened in other apps. The keyboard stops making sounds, YouTube or Facebook video wouldn't play audio. Sometimes it comes back, sometimes I gotta reboot it.
I just downloaded and installed the latest July 8th update today, and so far no issues. But I'll report back if any things fixed or not.

I had the same problem right after i got mine.. not a good video but was it like this? They replaced mine new one doesn't do it....
on youtube I posted a video of mine...samsung S7 edge youtube landscape video problem...( I cant post a link but you can search for it)

Wow. I thought I was the only one. Was watching a Facebook video. And made a loud hissing sound. I was scared
