Hello, all.
I am having an issue with my Iconia A500. The screen will quickly shift screens back and forth on its own for a while and then it will freeze. I was hoping to reset, but since I cannot get it in to any of the menus, I am unable to do so.
Is there a way to hard reset without booting the device up using the reset hole or another way? Anyone ever seen this screen problem?
Thanks for your help.

I found that holding the power button down for about 30 seconds will force a hard boot.
(This is specifically mentioned in the manual downloadable from Acer's site).
As for the "flickering" and refusal of the A500 to stay asleep, it seems to be related to background wifi activity. Disabling wifi before putting it to sleep will make it stay asleep. At least that happens with mine.

By the looks of things it seems like the music app is launching then quiting and launching and quiting... I don't see a screen issue but rather some kind of corruption or instability. Try a reset or uninstall/update that app.
i tried many reset but it doesn't worked. i tried to do the update.zip but unsuccessfully. i try to push the power button +30sec it doesn't worked too.
and i can't update or uninstall the app because i can't push on the tab because of the constantly launching/quiting.
Ya... I don't know man.
Is there anything you might have done to cause the behavior? SD card installed with music on it? rooted? Installed (bad) apps?
Maybe someone with more knowledge has some ideas.
You could always try to return it and get a new one...?
None of these.
Stock, just few minutes using (i was configurating it). No root. No apps installed, just an automatic update of google maps.
I'll see with Acer if they can give a solution

The news:
Tab was down. Acer's warranty sent me a new one. I don't know what was the real issue because they don't said me any information.
Hi, I'm hoping someone here can help me out.
Yesterday I tried downloading and installing Go Launcher because I wanted to add keyboard language change options. I found an article whose steps involved first downloading/installing Go Launcher. It was supposedly a way to do it without rooting the KF? There was nothing but positive feedback and no one else seemed to have a problem with the GL app, so I figured I'd try it.
Unfortunately, when it installed and I tried to use it, it froze. Sadly, I had checked the "use Go Launcher as default" option and so wasn't able to switch back. I ended up trying to turn it off and then back on again but was then stuck with the "Kindle Fire" splash/loading page. That's all it does now. I've tried to hard reset it - to no avail. Even my computer won't recognize it anymore. Not sure if it's relevant, but I even let the battery die and recharged it. It seems I've really killed it. -_-
I'm planning on returning it and getting another. But before I do that, I wanted to see if anyone can help me possibly fix whatever might be wrong with it.
Here you go : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1356257
Thanks for this. I read it, but didn't know it applied to me.
Here's what i did I did the hard reset but when it shut off I left it off for like 10 minutes then turned it back on and it loaded up no problem.
Hi guys,
Thanks for all the support and guides posted here, they've been very useful in helping me getting my Kindle rooted and getting rid of the horrible carousel, however I'm having a bizarre problem.
If I leave my Kindle plugged into my computer for a prolonged period of time (I.E to charge it) It seems to reset all the hardwork I've done. Nova launcher completely vanishes from the device as do a few gapps and the stock launcher returns with Carousel etc. I've also made a few edits to the LCD density within the build.prop file and this also seems to revert to it's default settings. Strangely, any apps I've downloaded from the Google app store are still there.
Once these things happen I also seem to lose the ability to copy or edit any files at root. I can view everything but I have to re-root my Kindle in order to make edits or move files to the system/apps folder.
Has anyone else experienced this or know what the issue might be? My Kindle is connected to WiFi 90% of the time and nothing like this happens, but if I leave it plugged into my computer for 30 minutes or more everything resets.
Help? Suggestions?

cdbailey,
I am sorry for the delayed response, we had to go out to an emergency call and got
back an hour ago. Sounds like Amazon sent a software update to your Kindle. Has it
happened more than once? If not, I would mark it up to a Software Update. The
Service is called OTA (Over The Air) Update Service. Look in the Device > About,
what is your software version? If this is not possible you need to send it back to
Amazon for replacement. Remove Google Play before sending it in to Amazon.
This is NOT normal.
Hey that's no problem at all, it was thanks to the help.of your guides that I've been able to get my head around all of this.
The first time it happened my initial thought was, like you said, that my device had received a software upgrade. Unfortunately this has happened a total of three times and each time I've followed my daily routine of coming in from work, plugging my USB from the Kindle into my computer, going back to it a couple of hours later and finding it has all reset.
I don't know if it can be related at all but I have been using a slightly older version of Nova launcher as opposed to GOLauncher like your guide suggests.
Last night after finding it reset for the third time I decided that if so many people were having luck with GOLauncher then I'd try the same. As an experiment I left my Kindle connected to the computer much of last night and so far, so good.
I'll update here if it does happen to reset but I'm still not sure what caused it. Thanks again for the reply.
Okay... literally seconds after my last post I went to check my Kindle for the software version to find it had reset again. This time it wasn't connected to my computer and my software version is currently 7.2.3
Could editing the build.prop file be forcing my Kindle to update itself as it doesn't recognize the contents to be correct?
I don"t recommend editing the build.prop yet till you can back up the device or this may happen

cdbailey,
Although we do not recommend editing the build.prop there is nothing that would
perform an inventory forcing an update. You can edit just about everything in
the Kindle and it would not send a signal to be updated. I suspect the OTA
Inventory Service database is sour, not recognizing you current software
version, thus looping the update. We just posted a new tutorial that
would shutdown these services. Please perform these steps to disable
the update service (Note: You may manually execute the update):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086450
This will be an interesting experiment to see if it clears up your looping
update service.
Earlier today, a few apps on my Nexus 7 have just started closing within one or two seconds of opening them.
Google Search Bar, Facebook and Catch Note all close within a couple of seconds after opening them. I have used them fairly frequently for the last few weeks with no problems. Other apps, such as Twitter, Chrome and some games all work fine.
I have turned my device on and off a couple of times, but the problem still persists. Any ideas?
The problem is still occurring for me.
Gmail, Calendar etc... all also closing within a second or two of opening. Is this a common problem?
Is your N7 all stock or do you have a custom rom?...custom kernel?
You really need to provide some information in order to get help.
I haven't seen it in the OP so: Reinstall them

I haven't rooted my Nexus, or anything like that, it's all stock.
I just uninstalled Facebook, then downloaded it again. It seems to be working. Other apps still have the same problem. I assume that I have to do the same for all other apps - but is that even possible for apps such as Gmail, Calendar and the Search Bar?
Uninstalling and re-downloading hasn't worked as I had hoped.
It seems to have worked for Facebook. But I did the same for Catch Notes, and although it worked for a minute or so when setting it up, after creating a test note, it force-closed, I opened the app up again, and the old problem of closing within 2 seconds happened.
Other apps such as Gmail, I uninstalled, 'updated' again, and nothing changed, still closes immediately. There is no error message, it just returns to the home screen.
I thought that Task Killer might have been a problem, but I uninstalled that, restarted the Nexus, and the problem persists. Actually, when I turned off my Nexus, and tried to turn it back on, it was stuck on the 'coloured X' screen for a few minutes, I had to hold the power button down, and turn it on again. I'm starting to worry about my Nexus now.
Update:
A couple of other odd ones.
Google Drive doesn't even open. When clicking on the icon, the normal shading effect happens, but nothing else, no window even for a second.
Google Calendar opens, and just has a white screen, as if it is ready to load the calendar, but nothing loads. It doesn't close, just remains on the white screen, which can't be backed out of without pressing the home button.
Have you tried doing a cold-boot on the device? Maybe another app running in the background is causing conflicts. Where there any recent apps that you've downloaded?

I have just followed the instructions for a 'cold-boot' and now my Nexus can't get beyond the 'X' screen...
I have held the power button down a number of times, and tried turning it on again - but the 'X' continues to be displayed for over 20 minutes.
Just managed to turn my device on - but the problem still exists.
I didn't download any new apps that seem to have caused this problem. Though I think an app might have force closed and the Nexus displayed an error message such as "android/Google system stopped working" (probably different) and my home screen went blank for a while. Everything reappeared though after a short while. It could have stemmed from that.
Sorry about another bump, but i'm wondering if anybody has any more ideas before I go for a factory reset?
Edit: Actually, I think that I have found the cause of the problem. I just opened a game (Let's Golf 3) that I was playing before the problem started and after a few seconds, a message popped up saying "Unfortunately, Launcher has stopped". When I press OK, it returns after a few seconds.
I pressed the sleep button, and my Nexus turned off. Now trying to turn it on again, having some problems getting past the 'X' screen again. If I finally get in, should I uninstall the game? Any other solutions to this problem?
If your N7 can boot up, go the isolate & identify routines - disable/uninstall or freeze the golf game - do a normal shutdown/restart.
If normal functionality is back, you've just found the source. Not a gamer myself except for Angry Birds ... , but from the Play Store description, it access & make changes to system & protocol, etc. as you should contact/email golf's tech support for resolution. Otherwise, take a look of any background running apps or widgets, newly added or updated.

I couldn't get my N7 to boot up, so I finally gave in and did a hard reset (by holding power + volume down, Recovery Mode, then wipe data etc...) but my N7 still won't boot up
I have wiped it twice, and rebooted it, yet it is constantly stuck on the 'X' screen. What on earth can I do?

You will need to download the factory image, unlock your bootloader, and flash it. There is a guide on this forum, it might be stickied.

I was hoping there was going to be a resolution to this other than a "flash to stock" suggestion... My Nexus started doing this exact same thing this past Sunday when it ran out of power completely and needed to be recharged. After it powered back up from charging the following apps quit working altogether or just started quitting once it appears they try to access data: Netflix, Currents, Zillow, Gmail, HBO Go, Press (though Google RSS Reader works), NVision, TegraZone and a couple others. I have done the reboot thing as well and almost had this thing brick again (stuck at X), but I managed to clear the data cache from the fastboot menu and it started up again. I'm now at the point where I'm troubleshooting individual apps but the clear data/cache, uninstall - reinstall process isn't working for any of the broken apps. This is now the 4th time I will be facing a 'flash to stock' situation as it appears that I've had every problem that leads to this 'fix'. I'll try a couple more things (mostly deleting and clearing everything) but I'm really frustrated with how many times I've had to flash this damn thing. sigh.
I Got the update through a couple of days ago and I've had nothing but trouble since, lots of force quitting and locking up, the console has reset itself a few times as well.
I use the Shield with a 64gb Micro SD and a 500gb external Hard drive, I set the SD Card to act as internal storage, the setup worked fine but the Shield started to lock up so I took that out which fixed the issue. I did a factory reset on the console at this point as well.
Ive been able to setup the Sheild using the Hard Drive or SD Card as internal storage, that seems ok but at the minute the Google Play store wont stop Crashing. First thing I did after the restore was make sure the bundled apps were up to date, this I can do just fine but if I try to go into any app to download it to the console, I just get the 'Unfortunately Google play has stopped' error and nothing happens.
Ive tried resetting the console, clearing the cache on the store, trying the store before I update any bundled apps.. nothing works. The apps installed on there are fine but I cant add anything new.
Is anybody else having similar issues?

I am having an issue when it wakes after sleeping, I get a message saying Nvidia HDMI Services has stopped working. If you click OK, it just shows the message over and over. The only way to get out of it, is to pull the power cord and reboot. Didn't have the issue until I upgraded to 6.0

I guess we need wait when official mm build shows up on Nvidia home page and then just clean install through fastboot. P.s. ...I have kind of weird lags with remote control, when I start using/presing buttons constantly - volume level goes up and down randomly, and also found even random woke ups from sleep.

I have three nVidia Shield 16GB versions and the one attached to a receiver gives me the "Unfortunately, NVIDIA HDMI Services has stopped." message every time I wake it from sleep (which you can click OK, but it immediately respawns). As was stated, the only option is to pull the plug. The other two don't have this issue and I'm wondering if it has something to do with being attached to a receiver. I've had zero issues until the 6.0 update.

I have a 16GB Nvidia Shield TV plugged directly into my Sony 4K television. Since the 3.0 firmware/Marshmallow update, I am getting the same "Nvidia HDMI Services have stopped" error as described above. And yes, pulling the plug is the only solution.
Yup. Mine is plugged into a Sony receiver. The irony is that this build was supposed to include a bug fix that people with Denon receivers were having. Well if they fixed that issue they apparently broke the rest of us! Face Palm
I have 2 shields, the one connected to a 4k TV has the HDMI service problem and the one on a 1080p TV don't. I switched both and problems persisted on the 4k TV.
I don't pull the plug to reboot. I just hold back to make the power menu open. I press OK and spam the down button to get on the reboot option and the just spam the OK button for the reboot.
Very annoyed by this.
Contacted Nvidia support about this "HDMI services have stopped" issue: useless. They just provided a generic power cycle/ reboot troubleshooting procedure...which didn't work anyway.

I have the HDMI issue upon waking from sleep, going through a Yamaha surround amplifier. Never had the issue before update. I also cannot do anything with the play store, selecting anything in the store brings up the unfortunately plat store has stopped. Called Nvidia and spoke to tech there, no help thus far, we have a thread in the nvidia forums about the play store. Called google, and they refused to even speak to me because they say it's a manufacturer's problem. Please report to our forum at the nvidia site, there are many of us there and we have tried almost everything to no avail.
Here's the link to the Nvidia forum. https://forums.geforce.com/default/...le-play-store-not-working-with-new-update-/9/
So this Nvidia Shield TV v3.0 firmware/6.0 Android update when about as bad as possible short of bricking everyone's box.
So far I'm seeing in the forums from other owners:
New "Nvidia HDMI Services Have Stopped" error message that can only be addressed by power-cycling
Shield not powering on from Sleep
Google Play Store broken/crashing
Shield controller mis-behaving
Netflix app dropping frames during playback.
Various issues with storage
And I'm sure many others I'm not aware of.
This has been compounded by the Kodi v16 update that just came out and broke 4K playback which is now being resized to HD resolutions.
I have not had any problems with my shield and this update. But must admit that I have not used it that much since the update.
Btw. As far as I can read on the Nvidia shield forum, choosing an SDcard as internal storage, will overwrite use of the internal storage for apps and games.
All the same problems on mine as well. Wish I didn't update!
16g model. I have not had any power cycling or app crashing or services stopped issues. But once again, they've clearly changed how bluetooth works, because sixaxis is currently non functional, which I loathe. Ever since the console came out, the DS4 controller has worked better than Nvidia's own controller, regardless of previous bluetooth issues. Makes me wonder if Nvidia targeted it for convenience.
I have an Android TV Shield (v3.0) which is connected via an amp Denon April-x4100w (hdmi back cover). The first day everything was fine, the second day more image. I tried restarting the shield, reset the amp, turn off the upscaling of the amp, change the video frequency .... do you have a solution???

So to say, I am glad not being the only one having that big issue with the NSATV.
Since the update to FW 3.0 (Android 6.0), I often have the problem that I get the pop-up "NVIDIA HDMI Service stopped" (as my NSATV is set to German language it is "NVIDIA HDMI Service wurde beendet").
Even if I accept by clicking "OK", nothing changes. The pop-up doesn´t disappear and I can´t do anything else.
I need to plug-off from power to restart it completely.
Any idea or workaround known?
May be it can be solved by using a different power-off or sleep-mode as before?
Appreciate any idea and help as it is not really amusing to plug-off the NSATV every time..

I'm having this same exact issue, and have been for a couple weeks (since the update). I've even searched to see if there is some way to go back to the previous version. I don't have a nandroid backup or anything (wish I had thougth ahead), but does anyone know if there's a way to rollback to the Lollipop stock release (including any firmware/boot/etc)?
It will only crash HDMI if unit was sleeping. If you power off instead, it will not happen. Only caveat is that you can not wake the device with controller or remote and have to manually touch the shield unit and wait for the android to load. Not ideal but manageable.
My Shield TV is not usable anymore. Right after a reboot the desktop/home screen is freezing. The spinning circle while loading recommendations stops spinning and the Shield TV does not react to any input. Even the clock is not counting anymore. After about 5 minutes the Shield TV reboots itself (watchdog reset?). And again keeps freezing as soon as the home screen appears. This sucks.
I take it that the general consensus is not to upgrade to FW 3.0 whatsoever? I just received my Shield today, and I'm a little hesitant to even power it up
