[Q] ME176C keeps rebooting - MeMO Pad 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi!
I have an Asus ME176C, it had Android 4.4 on it and a few days ago, I did a factory reset. Everything went fine, first time setup, it's working, cool. After a few minutes, I got a notification about system update, which was strange, because I had the latest one 30 minutes earlier, before the reset. Even stranger, it wasn't a simple firmware update, it was the Android 5.0 update. I've heard nothing about it, Google still can't find anyhing about it and as I said, when I checked for updates, nothing has showed up and now all of a sudden, it's here. Alright, I was pretty happy, updated. Update went fine too, now I have a Lollipop and everything is working.
Now here comes the fun part. After 8-10 minutes of more intense using (and I'm not talking about an hour of 100% CPU usage, just not a stand by state, you know), the app crashes and the tablet restarts. Maybe it has something to do with the Intel GPU, because it happened only when I was playing games (Real Racing 3, CSR Racing and The Room Two) and was watching stream with the Twitch.tv app, though there were no problem, when I was watching videos on Youtube or somewhere else. My other idea was overheating, but on 4.4 I used to play much more than this 10 minutes and it doesn't even feel extremely hot.
Does anybody has any idea? Maybe Lollipop is not compatible (yet?) with Intel chipsets?

Edit: Spotify made it restart after 15 minutes. Not related to GPU, not hot at all. What could cause this?

There was an update and not it supports 2.2 so I went ahead and downloaded it. I am having nothing but issues with it. It plays really choppy. Basically unplayable and it kinda sucks cause it took 20 minutes to download the data so I cant even return it.
Anyone else having issues with this game? I'm running Vegan 5.11
i am having issues with this game too. choppy if it even runs at all, and that's when it's not causing my entire tablet to freeze up.
My advice: wait to download this one until they have fixed the massive amounts of bugs that are floating around in it.
I agree, right now I have waisted $10
Also choppy and crashing. Wouldn't recommend anyone buy this yet.
This makes me sad, I had high hopes for this.
Did any of you try restarting your tablet after downloading? I downloaded and tried to run it and it was very laggy and was no good so I restarted and it works perfectly. I play it all the time with not one issue.
Since the last update, i've had no more problems with this game.

I did exactly that. In fact, the crappy part is that you can only get it with the supplement for VegAn-TAB 5.11. Otherwise, it is not visible on the market or available through the Tegra App. However, the supplement kept killing my audio and making my device starting hissing out of the blue as if it were possessed.
I have a service emailinto the company to see if I can get a refund or if they can send me an apk.
It sucks. It was nice, but I had to sacrifice audio or video. It never played 100%.
I downloaded an updated version. And now its like butter. Game is ok. I prefer gun bros

Nexus 6 5.1 issue with real racing 3

Closes after the EA logo with no error. Tried to clear data/cache reinstall nothing works. Using tmobile nexus 6 and i sideloaded 5.1 OTA. Anyone else having this issue?
Did it ever work?
nope. it doesnt work on 5.1.
Didn't work on 5.0.1 either.

I thought I was being blocked by real racing 3 because I did hack that game to get cars and cash. I'm just curious is everyone that's having issues hacked rr3 as well. I'm just curious??
I just tried it on my Nexus 6 running an Android 5.1 Test version of the ROM from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3005747 and it crashed my phone immediately when trying to launch.
I've never hacked the game and last played it on my stock Nexus 7 (2013 WiFi) before it was upgraded to 5.x. I just now tried to play the game on my Nexus 7 which is still stock and unrooted, but is now running Android 5.0.2. The game has been showing me notifications quite regularly, tempting me to play, but I grew bored with it after I bought a PS4 and Thrustmaster T80 wheel & pedals.
Anyway, when I launched the game, it was stuck at the EA logo screen for a while, so long that Android popped up a "not responding" dialog. I told it to wait and a short time later it started downloading a 490 MB update package. After the update package completed, the game ran normally and showed me what is new... Then it downloaded another 18 MB update... Then another 7 MB update, and yet another 6 MB update! Then I watched a video to try to earn free gold, until it said I had to install another game to get it. Then I tried to play a time-trial race, and it had to download another 31 MB update. It was starting to get ridiculous, but I was finally able to play a race... Wow, they show ads now while the race is loading and while you pause; I don't remember seeing that before. The sound and music don't work. I confirmed my media sound volume was not low. The servicing is now automatic and forced? That's bizarre. I remember when you could individually service each component like tires, or brakes, independently from repairing crash damage. That seemed a lot more realistic. But perhaps it didn't result in as much in-game virtual-currency transactions from those too impatient to wait.
Anyway, now I remembered why I quit playing this game. They should rename it to "Really Annoying Racing 3" that would be more Realistic...
Even though it seems to work on my tablet running Android 5.0.2, I've uninstalled it. I also removed it from my phone as it didn't work anyway.
I'm gonna go ride one of my sport bikes now.
I prefer GT racing 2 myself.
I am experiencing the same problem after updating to 5.1.
I'm running latest chroma build and my first thought was: maybe it's related to the kernel. So I flashed latest ElementalX. I managed to play one match and after that the game crashed. Damn that's annoying...
Stops after the logo load.

I have the nexus 6 pure and it does the same thing. I can get to the race but then it sends me back to the home page. Totally shuts down. It let me race once and that was it. It worked before the update to 5.1. Thanks.

Performance Question

Hey guys,
This may seem like an odd scenario but I bought my tablet months ago to game on it specifically for Clash Of Clans. Everything worked well up until this morning. I was making breakfast and realized that there was an optional update so I performed the update. I then accidentally dropped my tablet in the kitchen which landed on my kitchen mat (it also has a case). When I sat down and launched the newly updated game I am experiencing incredible game lag. Almost like the game is performing at 10 fps. I looked at Game Tuner and made sure everything was turned all the way up. I restarted the device multiple times, uninstalled Clash and reinstalled it three times. More reboots etc.. I even installed an earlier version of the game but I am still experiencing the choppyness.
Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do next? Did my drop in the kitchen cause the tablet to under-perform and possibly break or is this merely a software issue with the update? Can I force the game to go into some high performance mode? Definitely not how I wanted to start my morning!
Thanks in advance.

It appears that the issue was stemming from a low battery (around 35%). I came home to a fully charged system and there is no lag.
As long as it didn't crack, you should be fine.
You're right about the battery, I believe the processor begins throttling down at low battery
That's a Marshmallow battery saving feature. When you get to about 40% it starts turning off cores. Perfectly normal! My phone becomes noticeably slower when power dips. It's a bit annoying.
I think this also happens in lollipop (5.0.2) as well. Mostly around 35%...

Phone getting extremely laggy

Good day.
Have anyone experienced same problems with the Huawei P9? My phone is getting more and more laggier, slow, for example, I click on messanger head and it opens after 3 seconds or more, stuttering, camera very slow, google maps is almost unusable sometimes (with downloaded maps), when I type the taps are "registered" a second later, but the whole text is written ... The phone is still under warranty. Did the factory reset and nothing has changed. Antutu scores vary, from 85k-110k (below average), the phone rarely gets hot ...
Did anyone experience this and maybe knows the cause?
Thank you all in advance.
EDIT: EVA-L09 c432B504
Noticed the same on my P9 Plus running the latest CN firmware (B538 - Dec18 Security Patch).
After several months I threw in the towel and went back to B535 (Sept Patch) which is more stable.
I noticed general slowness, as you did, phone restarting if i used the camera at anything under 30% battery, increasingly bad battery life in general (<40% by lunch time vs ~55-60% previously).
Since flashing the older firmware, it's been back to normal again, but it's only been a week, so we'll see how it fares after a month or so.
I'd suggest rolling back to the last 'good' firmware you had, and seeing how you go.

DRM scheme not supported

Ever since I upgraded to .185, I get this error in Prime Video and Netflix when playing downloaded material for offline viewing. I then have to reboot the phone and it works again. But sometimes only 5 minutes, other times, like half a day. What the f... is going on? I don't see any logical reason for this. It either supports or don't.
Resetting the phone doesn't seem to help either.
