Note: I just blogged about it and planning on posting on few Googler's twitter to see if we can get some attention to fix these issues, if they already haven't started looking in to these! If you are interested, please visit "Is the latest Gingerbread (Android 2.3.3) OTA update for Nexus One buggy? "and share your experience with Android 2.3.3 on your NexusOne's the Android team can get a bigger picture of these issues! More the merrier!
By now, I have reset to factory default couple of times but still after about 50hrs of usage my Nexus One starts acting freaky! Performance slows down, launching apps gives me black screen, lock screen freezes until I receive a call and not answer it and finally forcing me to reboot the phone.
Is anyone else aware of these issues or experiencing these issues?
I've had a few, repeated issues since upgrading to Gingerbread:
The stock messaging application will sometimes crash after sending a text message. The message gets sent, but the program closes out and returns me to the home screen. When I try to get back into the app, it animates like it is opening, animates like its closing and then gives me an error message about it not responding. I have found the only way to get rid of this is to reboot the phone.
Occasionally, all of the items - icons, widgets, etc - will disappear from the home screen. All I can see is my background image (just a plain JPEG, nothing animated) and cant get anything else to happen. I've tried to give it a few minutes (coming from Windows Mobile, I've learned to be patient) but it never came back. As expected, only a full reboot of the phone fixed the problem.
I've been having strange WiFi and data connection problems. Sometimes when connecting to WiFi it takes several minutes to establish a working connection; however most times it is pretty instant. The data connection will sometimes completely drop out and not come back on its own - even in areas with known good signal (I'm on AT&T, insert jokes here). Again, the best solution I've found is a full reboot.
I have heard some reports from friends that they have experienced issues with Exchange support after the upgrade, but I haven't seen it personally. Other than those above issues (which are very annoying) Gingerbread is has been OK. As I like to tell everyone, I'm sure glad my phone makes a cool TV of animation but can't seem to want to send text messages... Thanks Google?

You are right, I've been having those home screen issues as well, though my wifi connectivity seems to be fine so far.

I can confirm Gingerbread on my N1 facing similar problem. Riddled with bugs such as battery drain, Wifi, Exchange Server, Date format on Notification Bar, Awake forever, just to name a few.
REverted back to 2.2.2 More stable amid less 'cheeky' in term of UI.
Also had force close issues with launcher and other programs getting a black screen after about 2 days without a reboot. Got tired of it and went back to Froyo
I've had trackball notification issues. First it stopped working entirely. After a restore it now only blinks notifications if the screen is off. Once the screen is turned on (even if the phone isn't unlocked) it stops. If the screen is on when the notification is recieved nothing happens.
I'm experiencing battery drain that i believe is associated with maps and location services (the alogcat shows it checking in all the time!).
I've had the launcher become unresponsive to touch. You can use the trackball to navigate, its slow, and once you're inside an app it works fine. Need to restart.
I've had the blank keyboard show up and need to restart.
I'm probably going to switch back to 2.2.2 tonight...
Wow! The issue seems to have touched a lot of NexusOne's.

I have also been affected by the "black screen" problem after about 48 hours uptime. Returning to the home screen shows just the wallpaper and no icons. Pressing the "Home" button worked for a while to bring back the icons, but eventually most apps started showing some black screens and I had to reboot to fix the problem. I'm sticking with Gingerbread 2.3.3 for now, but it is disturbing after the multi-week uptimes I was getting under FroYo 2.2.2.
I updated from 15.05.2013 nigltlies to RC4 first then had no 3g or any connection and weird lag CM logo suddently started rolling on screen just like on boot.Then again flashed 07.06.2013 niglties then i got IMEI back and data connection working but weird lag exists and random logo rolling (rebooting) about every hour sometimes after that it goes to suojattu tila/(protected mode) ? Soft key light are lit when phone is on my pocket for a while. Phone functions normally for sometime after reboot. once camera was my lock screen background. 3g/data usage settings force closes always.
and weird battery stats`?
What to do?
flash cm again with cwm?
factory reset?
dalvik cache?
i did nandroid backup of the 05.15.2013.
Last night I was at home and noticed my wifi wasn't on, so I used the quick settings in the shade to toggle it. After a few seconds, wifi connected, and some unknown app took focus and closed repeatedly. After a few moments, it stopped and all was well.
I thought it was strange, so I turned wifi back off and the same thing happened. I rebooted, tried again, and got the same result. I was trying to think of a way to see what was happening, so I tried using the Screen Record function in Gravity Box, which didn't help much, because it happens so fast, and no info is displayed, just a black window that goes away quickly.
I then turned on the CPU usage in Developer Options to see if anything consistently came to the top when toggling. I saw a few apps each time Plume (Twitter), and Maildroid (email) were two of them. Both of these apps behave differently on wifi and 3G/4G (push vs. pull), so thought -maybe- it could be something with that. I uninstalled both of those, rebooted and tried again, getting the same result.
I recorded the screen when this was happening with the CPU usage displayed, and was wondering if anyone has any ideas? I don't really want to uninstall and reinstall EVERY app on my phone, so I was hoping someone may have seen this before or see something I'm missing when watching it happen.

Thanks for any input anyone can offer!
Do you check virus from your phone ?
I am also having this, seems to be due to 4.4.2 OTA, which I continue to delay as I am rooted.
Mine doens't only happen with wifi change, but also just randomly when using hangouts, keyboard stays out but hangouts min -> maxes quickly. I have tried freezing the update apps but it apparently didn't do anything as I was still asked to update earlier.
Only hangouts? I have that app disabled.in the app settings.
I can't say for sure that being on 4.4.2 fixed it, but I am on 4.4.2 now and it is not happening anymore.
I unlocked my bootloader and did the 4.4.2 SBF, unlocked and rooted. I installed probably 99% of the same apps (only ditched 1-2 that I never used anymore) and I am not having the flashing issue anymore.
Hard to tell for certain if the pending OTA was the cause, but it may have been.
I have a weird problem with my Moto X 2014 (Pure Edition). It's randomly losing bluetooth connection in a background (basically any BT connection – to auto, smartwatch, etc.) but the phone itself says everything is fine (Bluetooth is on and devices are connected). But actual connection is not working: unable to play music via BT, unable to discover a new BT device, notifications not coming through to a smartwatch, etc. Bluetooth devices continue to show as connected even if I power them off, and when I turn them back on, they won't reconnect.
I meet this problem every 1-2 hours, sometimes even 10-20 minutes. The only way to fix this problem - to turn off BT and then turn it on again. Or keep Wi-Fi always off.
I tried to use another Moto X (2014, same software build version), to pair and unpair devices, to clean cache and even do a factory reset (with and without backup restoring) – the problem is still here. That's weird but this problem start appears 2-3 weeks ago, before everything was just fine.
Phone: Moto X 2014 Pure Edition @ T-Mobile, Lollipop 5.1 (TMO_Pure_5.1_LPE23.32-21.3_5_23.16.3.victara_tmo.tmo.en.US)
Devices: Pebble Time, Pebble Time Steel, Ford SYNC2, Moto Stream.
Things I tried that didn't help: deleting and re-pairing devices, deleting all old device profiles, clearing cache, reflash, factory reset, safe mode, flash CM12.
BT HCI Logs:
A disconnect at 1:28pm
dropbox.com/s/q3pka5egagq3e5g/01_btsnoop_hci.log?dl=0
A disconnect at at 3:09pm (or so)
dropbox.com/s/f2kl4rowr12lypt/02_btsnoop_hci.log?dl=0
Same issue here with a VZW XT1096, since OTA to 5.1. Factory reset does not help.
Up
Same issue here, same device & carrier & software build version & Pebble Time Steel. As long as I'm constantly making use of a BT connection, it seems to stay alive just fine, but as soon as it sits idle for more than a couple minutes, the connection drops (according to the BT device, but not according to the phone). I've tried all the same things with the same total lack of success. I have nothing new/helpful to offer, but at least you're not suffering alone.
That's weird by the issue seems to be fixed somehow. Everything works just fine for almost 24 hours now, even with an active Wi-Fi.
Still testing.
Just to say I have the same problem with a Pebble Time Steel and my 2014 Moto X. Have e to disable BT and dependable BT to get phone to connect to Pebble to only be dropped a few minutes later from Pebble side.

I'm having the same problems and have also had it "go away" for extended periods of time only to reappear after a day or two. Mine will drop the BT connection even if I'm actively listening to audio over my headset.
Registered because I'm having the same issue. I'm running stock 5.1, no root. The connection to my Pebble Time Steel is very unreliable. The Bluetooth settings thinks it's still connected, the Pebble Time app on my phone thinks it's still connected, but my watch shows no connection and there's no communication to or from my watch. Sometimes it'll work for hours just fine and then drop, sometimes it'll only be a few minutes. It seems to be when the phone screen is off. Turning BT off and on always fixes it, it'll immediately automatically reconnect and show it on the watch.
I've tried the Pebble troubleshooting online (factory reset & recovery mode on watch, uninstall Pebble Time app, forget pairing on all devices, remove all other BT apps, reboot phone, reinstall Pebble Time app, re-pair) but the problem remains.
In the past, I've had it where my Fitbit One seems to have dropped the connection. Since the sync is so infrequent, I don't notice it much but I did catch it where it hadn't synced in a few days. (That app was uninstalled while I try to figure the Pebble thing out)
Next step is factory reset on the phone, but it sounds like that's not a fix for some people. That, or design a watchface that sends a keep alive signal to the phone, which runs an app to reset the BT when the connection drops. Since it's still listed as connected, I don't think Tasker will fix it.
Same issue. My phone is a Verizon Moto X and I've tried factory reset. Hoping that whenever they update to 6 that it will fix the issue, but I'm ready to smash my Moto x over this

While I hope your problem is "fixed" I would not be too hopeful. I have had this problem as long as I've had the phone. Sometimes it goes away for a while but it always returns. Right after I unlocked my bootloader and it did a complete factory reset the problem went away for a week but it eventually returned. I've seen similar problems reported with all the MX14 variations and nobody seems to have a solution. There was a thread on the Moto forums with folks reporting these issues to Moto but nothing ever came of it. Seems to be connected to wifi somehow because I don't seem to drop the BT connection if wifi is turned off. Not really a useful solution but it does seem to work. I just gave up and put a BT toggle button on my homescreen.
I had the same problem using marshmallow, I downgraded to 5.1 and it went to normal
Count me in on this 'issue' too. 5.1 XT1096 rooted and BL unlocked. It seems to have started around mid-December and I can't think of any particular change that caused it. Pretty much have to toggle BT 2-3 times a day at this point. FWIW, I started having the problem before the BL unlock so basically factory reset did nothing to fix the issue.
Is there perhaps a way to have the BT automatically toggle at fixed intervals a couple of times a day?

Update: I changed over to Android M on CM13 and no longer have this issue. Nice not to have to power toggle the BT function a couple times a day anymore.
YMMV
Met the same problem after updating to Android M.
I often connect to BT during driving and after a few days working normally, my headset will be disconnect without any "notification".
My solution is to wipe cache, after that BT connection will work well for another few days.
Never met this issue in Android L, but I just love M so much.
Looking for better solution / fix.
I found this thread while searching for some solution for my BT+Android Wear problems. I have them since circa february / march 2017.
But today, I got a problem with non-Wear watch (Fossil Q Grant). I noticed my phone was locked even if I have smart lock set up. I checked fossil q app, the watch was connected, it received notifications so far. But in the phone settings, in smart lock, all my devices vanished. I checked the BT setting and saw the same. All my paired devices disappeared! It happened after nothing more than a restart, after my fossil lost connection earlier today and did not want to reconnect. So I restarted the phone.
This happened to me the second time already, but first time I somehow did not pay attention because I was frustrated by the Wear app problems and weekly factory resets to get my Wear watches working.
Could our issues be related? Some bluetooth software bug in phone? THIS IS PURE HELL!
Moto X4 cant come soon enough.
Hi,
Two days back,I bought a used Nexus 6 and since then am having some serious issues.(Mainly 2 serious issues ( 1 partially solved i guess)
ISSUE No.1 - Phone shuts down randomly ( Partially solved)
I used it for an hour in the condition I received and afterwards I decided to do a factory reset to start from scratch.
After the factory reset,the phone started behaving weird.It would shut down at random and would not switch on..
When i powered on the device,it would show "Optimizing apps xx of xx" and again would shut down.The number of apps were never the same.
I tried wipe cache and factory reset from bootloader but with no effect.
An then when I tried after 1 hour,amazingly the phone came to life and instantly I disabled Gmail app(had a hunch gmail was causing the issue as before the shutdown the gmail notifications were appearing and disappearing on the notification bar)and updated Android System Webview.
I continued use for 1 day without any issues and then I decided to enable Gmail again:It crashed again.This time I disabled both Gmail and Android System Webview.
This issue has not reappeared ( But no Gmail on a google Phone..How ironic>>)
ISSUE NO.2 - Phone shuts down when charger is unplugged during charging irrespective of the battery level.This issue still persists and i have not found a solution yet.
The phne has a warranty but I do have a hunch its a software bug.Would appreciate any experts help.PLEASE dont tell me this has a hardware problem..sigh..

Personally, since it is under warranty, and this is not normal device behavior, I'd RMA it ASAP.

If an RMA is not an option I'd flash a stock image. That would truly be starting from scratch as opposed to just doing a factory reset.
Id flash stock and if not sounds like bad battery
