After the official Honeycomb upgrade, my Streak 7 have been freezing around once a week. It doesn't start freezing right away, but the app that's running starts to run slow and if I try to switch apps or go to the home screen it would freeze completely. Before it completely freezes I can hold the power button and shut it down, that will fix it. But if I don't happen to do that in time, it would completely freeze. I've had it freeze with the screen on and the screen off, and the buttons do not respond. Holding the power button doesn't do anything at all, I have to use the pinhole reset.
Have anyone experience anything like this? Is there anyway to shut down the tablet on freezes without using the pinhole reset? The pinhole reset is useless when I'm out and about since it requires an actual pin.
Any help would be great, thanks!
Its most likely an app that you've installed. Use process of elimination to find out which one. I noticed that Evernote sometimes caused my ds7 to crash.
I found a post in the Dell Community about freezes after the HC upgrade that says to do a factory reset. I didn't do a factory reset after the upgrade because almost everything worked flawlessly.
I just did a user data reset yesterday, let's see if this solves the freezing problem.
I did a factory reset and data fixed everything

I think this is different from the random reboot issues in the other threads.
I decided to wipe/reset (data and system) my Nook and start over from scratch with a fresh auto-nooter root.
All went well again. Except that occassionally the "Turn off NOOKcolor" screen just pops up out of the blue. I didn't press the button, my fingers was no where near it. And even though I don't even touch the "Power off" choice, it just continues the shutdown.
This is happening a lot. While surfing in Dolphin, browsing the Market, playing a game.
Not much is even installed.
Haha. I figured it out. My Nook has a hardware defect. If I shake it, the screen flashes on and off and brings up the power down screen.
Randomly powering off
My Nook color is randomly shutting itself down also. It appears to be a glitch with the power button because I get the message on screen to verify shut down or cancel. It just shuts down a few seconds later. I have done a complete wipe and reset which has not fixed the issue. I too believe this is a hardware issue, but am not 100% sure.
If I try to return the Nook after I do a complete wipe and reset to factory condition will there be any evidence that I have rooted the device?

Not sure. I bought my Nook at Walmart and returned it there. They didn't even turn it on.
Replacement working fine so far.
I was using my T-Mobile HD7, browsing the web, on the official Mango update, when the browser completely froze. I couldn't even turn off the phone by holding the power button, so I removed the battery.
I then tried to turn the phone on again, but it won't get past the first HTC splash screen!
It's seriously like the phone just died. Idk what went wrong, but it still doesn't boot after removing the battery, removing the SIM, etc. What else should I try?? I guess a master reset would be the next option? But then all my data is lost......

Hi,
Maybe you should have reinstall ROM. It looks like something went wrong after update.

I've been using the update for a week now. If there was a problem, it should have happened sooner... This feels like Windows Mobile :/ and there's no way to get your data back!!!!!!
I had the exact same thing happen to me. If it won't boot, you'll need to do a hardware key factory reset.
Pull the battery to turn off the phone. Put the battery back in, but don't turn it on yet. Hold down both Vol + and Vol - and the power button for a few seconds until a white screen comes up with instructions to factory reset. Takes about 30 seconds total.
Did you update from the leaked mango version also? Curious if the problem was related to the leaked firmware.
I have an Galaxy Ace that is around 2 years old, it's got a stock rom and it's rooted.
Now here's what's happening to it, the menu button on doesn't work, but at random times it seems to come to life and then I can't use my phone because the menu keeps popping up and won't let me open any app. It's like someone is repeatedly tapping the button or pressing down on it.
Sometimes if I press down on the return button it will stop but as soon as I release it it starts again, note that it's not always happen as the return button tends to get unresponsive too during this episodes.
Rebooting the phone only causes it to boot into safe mode and after a few seconds it will freeze and reboot again.
I've tried removing the battery and leaving it for a few minutes and removing the SD card and sim card before rebooting, but neither worked.
Could someone know what's going on here?
Hi
Try a factory reset , if still doesn't work then Flash Back To stock using odin and check that your SD Card isn't infected by any kind of Virus.You can also try doing a factory reset and then remove the SD Card.

Hi all,
Putting up this post because I am at my wits end! I have had my Galaxy Tab S2 now for about a month. Just recently I would be using it and it would seem to start lagging a bit, and then without warning it would basically either power cycle, or just freeze and power off. Upon restarting, everything would go as per normal, and then after a few minutes it would happen again.
Went through the process of backing everything up so I could factory reset. This was a strange experience. The files would begin transferring to the backup media, and then the process would freeze, and the power cycle happen again. What made it strange was that if I kept touching the screen, the transfer would continue. Leave it to its own devices and it would freeze and power down or power cycle. Anyways, managed to get what I could off it. On to a factory reset.
Ensuring it was off, I pressed the power and volume up buttons, ending up with a screen with the android robot. Then it shows a screen with the android robot on its side and an exclamation mark above it. Finally to the recovery screen. Here things got a bit hinky too. I would use the volume up/down keys to move through the options available, and then found that the up/down buttons became unresponsive. Frustrated I touched the screen a couple of times and what do you know, the selected choice would move according to what volume button pressed. OK that's weird, and what do you know, after a while it reboots irregardless of choice.
Finally managed to get it to factory reset, wipe everything and on start launch into the setup procedure. "Yay" thought I, "Nay" thought the tablet. Now i'm stuck with a tablet that gets about halfway through the process, freezes, then reboots or powers off. Thing is, it ALWAYS seems to happen at a point in which keyboard interaction is required. I get about halfway through typing my name and snap.
So yeah I have no idea. I'm thinking it could have something to do with battery, however, this all still occurs even if it is plugged into a source. So before I go about trying to work out how to get the back off, I thought I would ask for some advice here!
Seriously, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Chyr0n
Get a new one.

Yeah, it's new and is not rooted. Why not going thru warranty and get a new one?

What happened to the in Forum search bar?
Is there anyway to test the hardware on the G925A?
My phone is encrypted, running ATT Stock 5.1.1. I've done a factory restore and restart every couple of days. After the OTA update to 5.1.1, a box pops up saying android is starting apps every time I cold/warm boot the phone and it takes longer than I remember to boot now. There are times when it just wont open some apps or the app will open and immediately close, without an error message. It doesn't respond to swipes to unlock at times. Sometimes I hit the home button to wake it up and the screen will turn on and immediately off again. Same thing happens when I wake it using the power button.
I can't help but to think that the issue is hardware related.
Thanks in advance
