1) yup thats some phone fail right there
2) My old razr did some thing like this, but I did not video it and well I could not do any thing with the phone so I had to leave it off and some how it just worked again. (I still have no idea what happened or WHY the bleep it messed up so badly for.)
3) How did you fix it or did it just do it?

Were you able to still use the phone?

Yea, Sucks.
Holy Cow Dude that looks terrible. I've not had an epic fail yet but I've overdone it recently. my Rooted HTC HD2 seems to have a habit of failing, freezing or rebooting right when I need it. I'm on my way home, i need to make multiple calls back to back and what happens friggin android phone freezes. I kill all tasks try to bring it back up, crashes again then instantly into a reboot.

LG Envy Touch.
Biggest piece of crap I have ever owned.
Complained so much to Verizon that two months after getting my upgrade, they let me get another two year upgrade price on a droid x and keep the envy. Lol. Sold it on Ebay for over $200.

Yea it sucked big time.
I had to deal with 3-4 phone reps and 4-5 store guy's before I got a new phone.
I will tell what they said:
1 phone rep said I needed to leave the phone off over night. ( Say what)
1 phone rep said I needed to clear all in all internet apps. ( So did not fix it)
2 store reps said I was being "slowed down for lot's of data use".
3 reps said it needed a fac reset. ( Did not fix it for long, came home and bam 600kbs)
Any way the new one is all good, but it was a pain becuase "it's the best phone they have". ( I am like I just want the thing to work right, telling me this crap does not make me feal better.)

Yeah it just requires a reboot but it happens every now and then not as often as the random reboots though

I think this phone or verizon is crap.
Well I should have not said all good with the new one, but a lot better so far. It has droped Data 2 times and fell back to 3G one time in the 2 days I have had it.
I don't know at this point if verizon is crap or the razrs are unstable. I know motorola is better than this so I think it's just the 4G LTE gsm and CDMA trying to work at the same time fail.
Edit: It's now doing it to. This is my 2nd phone and less than 3 days it start's pulling this crap.

Bigest phone fail us the Samsung intercept. It's the definition of crashes, freezes, slowness, freak outs, and miss sends and barely any apps work with it

Biggest fail for me was the Nokia N90.
Nice phone with nice camera features, but every now and then it drove me crazy with random resets or, sometimes, with unnoticed shut downs. It just resetted or shutted down in my pocket.

It was the stock launcher. I liked it too, so I used it.

My phone runs out of memory with 12 apps
OC'ed to 710MHz from 524, no GPU, can't upgrade

Changes in 5.1.1

Figure it would be nice to have a thread of changes we have found in 5.1.1
For me the UI feels a LITTLE more responsive, nothing major. That's all I have seen.
What about others?

For me so far it has been better standby time. Battery.

I notice somewhat better performance in general, phone just feels a little snappier. Battery life obviously can't be judged yet, might factory reset later if it gets worse (stupid Google Play Music device limit).
This is super minor, but I notice that the time it takes for the phone to verify the encryption passphrase is about half of what it was. And most people will likely not care about this either, but the T-Mobile jingle aligns with the T-Mobile white screen during boot up now.

Agree it's very very early, but I had pretty bad battery drain for the first few hours after I updated. Cleared cache via the stock recovery and it seems to be much better.

Definitely feels snappier.. I've noticed slightly better battery life.. But I can't really tell yet.. Just gotta use the phone and figure out any immediate changes

I just cleared my cache with stock recovery too, and when it rebooted, it said the update failed, which is strange since I updated it 11 hours ago, and I'm definitely on 5.1.1.

I noticed that too. I had to reboot twice into recovery (had to go back into Android because I needed to decrypt my phone to clear cache). Both times it said "Installing system update". No ertror mesage, though.

Updated this morning. Played around with my phone for a bit and then did a factory reset for the heck of it. So far it's pretty decent. I like the new camera feature and the removable S Finder and Quick Connect boxes too. I've been running it with everything turned on for almost a month and was getting great battery life. So far the battery is doing pretty good as I'm using it quite heavily.

Has anyone noticed better battery life after factory resetting post-update? Considering doing it now.

Anyone know how to access guest mode ? I can't seem to find it

It wasn't included in the update.

I believe that tmobile my account app is the reason why my data keeps turning back on.

Speed up your rooted mate 7

Afternoon all now firstly this is not an add Ian in no way affiliated.
I tried out a program call L Speed found on the play store and after applying some settings my phone feels new again very snappy, antutus 3d section has never worked for me but after using this program it now works, don't know why but it does. Give it a try and see what you think.
Cheers

One of the kernel modifiers that works by altering setting in RAM. You can get improvements for sure but be careful.
I used to run a kernel modding app in KitKat ROM but now on Lollipop the phone runs nice without it so I don't use a kernel tuning app anymore.
I have Xposed but even then, only a minimal number of modules. You can create an unstable device by these types of mods.

Can you tell us which settings exactly you have in L Speed? A screenshot would be enough because when I tried it I didn't see any improvement

I'm probably as big of a skeptic as you get when it comes to these miracle "speed up your phone now!" kind of apps, but hear me out:
I installed this after it popped up whilst lazily scrolling through the Play Store. I remembered reading a post title about it somewhere and figured I might as well laugh at the massive scam when it starts asking for IAPs or something.
But wow, it really helps. I mean it has only been running for about 30 minutes, so I can't say much for the battery life improvements etc, but here's what has noticeably improved thus far:
- "Smoothness": Enabling the UI tweaks rewarded me with buttery smooth scrolling, window switching, even SwiftKey (which, whilst being a great keyboard for a multi-lingual, has always fallen behind others in terms of smoothness) is now on IOS levels of responsive, for now. I'm running 5.1.1 (B324), which is already a massive improvement over the choppy mess that was 4.4.4, but this made animation smoothness on-par with the latest flagships.
- App loading times: Vastly improved. The HAM7 isn't bad at this, but not exactly great either. I'm assuming it's the IO tweaks that 'fixes' this, as app loading times are way quicker. Even the app switching window, which is notoriously slow to load up on the HAM7, opens up very hastily (not instantly, but MUCH faster than usual), even when you have 3-5 pages of apps open. Hell, even the camera doesn't waste time opening.
And perhaps the most impressive improvement: Faster streaming. I know, this sounds like snake-oil, right? Wrong. I live in East Africa, our internet here is horrifically slow compared to European countries (my company has a 7mb/s line, which is one of the fastest lines available in our area). Streaming a video in 1080p is something one can only dream of. I took a quick look at YouTube, ramping the quality up to 1080p, and it plays! I mean I still have to leave it for around ten seconds to buffer a little, but after that I'm golden. I'm baffled, I honestly don't want to believe it, but yet it's happening right before my eyes. I will test this on other streaming services (Netflix and ShowBox) later and update this post with my findings.
So there you go. A totally skeptical non-believer converted in 30 minutes. I can't tell you how this works, all I can say is that it does, at least in my case. The HAM7 running 5.1.1 really isn't bad in terms of every day performance, but this makes it a lot more bearable (I hate EMUI).
I'll update this post with further findings tomorrow.

Lots of factors affect it. Rooting and modding can slow it down, for instance I can assure you installing ViPER4Android will slow it down, but sounds oh so good.

Don't use viper. But yes depending on the amount of apps etc does affect it. Using always on display now and love it and not really much of a battery hog, I love coming back to my phone and don't even touch it just glance to see if I have missed anything.

Overall love

Yes, yes, it's possible to love a phone. Heck, you sleep next to it, don't you? Rate this thread to indicate your love for the RED Hydrogen One, all things considered. A higher rating indicates that the RED Hydrogen One is an incredible phone that you enjoy tremendously. You love it.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Pretty much everyone in the Houdini program (pre-release testing) appear to just **love** their device.

I've had mine for about two weeks now and have grown to absolutely love it! While the industrial design may be a stark departure for some, the scalloped edges make me feel really comfortable not using a case. Its really clear that this device is well built.
It runs a fairly stock version of Android 8.1, and I receive OS updates every few days to address bug fixes. Funny thing is, I haven't witnessed any bugs myself. While it's not an SD845, most users won't be able to tell the difference at all. This thing FLIES! I think until the next snapdragon SOC shrinks down a bit to single digit nm size, the performance gains won't be significant enough for users to really be measurably different in real world tasks.
Battery life is bonkers! I'm constantly demoing the device at full brightness for several hours a day, and on those days will end with about 40% life left. On my "off days" of regular use, I will typically only get to about 60-65% by the end of the night. I'm quite comfortable saying this will last some users two days.
The camera is fantastic as well! I looked it up in AIDA and it doesn't say who makes them, but the specs say 12.3 MP and 1.55 μm cell size. There's a few devices on the market with the exact same specs and both are praised for their camera prowess. I think what makes this one so awesome is the spacing between the cameras, which makes for the awesome 4-View holographic effect but also creates an awesome depth of field mode. I'll see if I can post some samples later today. The 4-View screen is something you just have to see. I won't bother explaining it, but I'll say that adding depth to photos makes me feel like a great photographer, even though I'm typically best outfitted with a potato cam.

I just got my 2nd unit; so, I can start to experiment a little.
BUT, I have a *lot* to learn as my last Android device started
in KitKat and runs Nougat today. From a cursory look, quite
a bit has changed since then with a/b updates and the like.
Oh, and finding time for these experiments is another issue...

It's rootable but we need to get the bootloader unlocked. I'm going to ask Red if I can get the key. Will update once that happens.

Yeah, not yet. Rooting have been some time for me as I had an iPhone for a while and just switched back. Kinda learning again. But I did send a message to a RED team member asking for the unlock code so we'll see.

Just got mine today does anyone know how to take portrait mode pics. PS love it so far

If you bought directly from RED they will send you the Key to unlock. Hopefully you can work your magic with that. They are not allowed by contract to do that with Carrier phones.

I tried various versions but couldn't get it going, can you post a link to the one that works?

update all Red apps, and you can take portrait or landscape front and back

Good morning Red One users. I have an opportunity to purchase one of these from AT&T and was wondering if anyone can confirm that the speaker has gotten better for hands-free calling. I'm basing this off of a YouTuber who said he cannot hold phone conversations over speakerphone without the other party saying they can't understand him so he has to switch to handset. I've had a chance to see the demo and the AT&T store and they have only one left and they're holding it for me until close today.
I did notice when I was in the AT&T store looking at the demo I noticed the LG I was currently using had all of its signal bars but the hydrogen only had about 3. So I'm wondering if anyone has had any signal issues or drop coverage. I know this depends on your cellphone provider towers locations. Just wondering if anyone saw any drop off in cellphone coverage from previous devices?

I have both the AT&T version as well as the unlocked Titanium. Both operate on the AT&T network without issue. The signal bar has never dropped below half that I'm aware of and I have not had coverage issues even while traveling.

ATT Pie Update available

Got the pie update tonight on my ATT V40. Def feel a difference in overall feel. Nice and snappy. Will report back with other impression once I have more time on it.

Fresh ROM install is properly 'crisp'. Give it a few days, and that will, most likely, settle in. At least you know it went well, and that nothing you have is conflicting. Welcome to your piece of the Pie!

After a couple of reboots, the animations definitely seem smoother. Other than that it feels about the same as Oreo. Minor changes, but better than nothing.

One thing that is fixed for me at least, is the location coming on even after I turned it off. Before the update the location was basically on all the time.

Do you remember how big the update was? I had put my phone on the charger for the night and it woke up the screen that a download was available. When I clicked install, it rebooted and hung for a while on the AT&T logo. It finally booted up and the software info is correct. It must have downloaded the actual update in the background. Oh well, maybe a few bug fixes, but so far I can't tell any difference. Almost seemed like a security update.

Next is the Unlocked US version I hope. I'm going to see if I can keep my unlocked bootloader when I flash over to it.

Another observation: I used to have issues with WiFi calling dropping in and out in certain areas of my house. I used to think it was coverage but I have 3 Google WiFi pucks in a 3800sqft house. After this update though it hasn't dropped once. And since my location issue is fixed my battery life is back to normal. 61% left with a 2:30 hours of sot

WIFI scanning for foreground apps is crippled in PIE. 30 seconds between scans and no option to whitelist WIFI scanner apps.

Battery life is greatly improved for me (25% longer lasting so far) but auto-brightness does seem to be quite a bit more aggressive. Phone feels much snappier, too. Camera responses, especially when zooming/toggling between lenses seems improved.
This could be an AT&T app I haven't disabled or something else completely, but since the update I no longer receive any notifications when my phone is connected to my car's bluetooth. I get what looks like enhanced Android Auto experience (again, could be just update to AA app) when using Native Android Auto in my Civic. Notifications [I do get these when phone is plugged into car/AA is active] and navigation in general are much snappier and appear in a more crisp and desirable manner.
The only issue I have with it so far is that I no longer get notifications while I'm in my car (again, maybe unrelated to the Pie update). Otherwise it is behaving almost like a new phone again like it did back in October, or maybe even a little faster.
