Hey,
While most of you are debating upgrading to Marshmallow, I've finally bitten the bullet and upgraded to Lollipop after being put off by some horror stories.
Enjoying it so far and feeling a bit silly for putting it off... Nut I've seen a couple of things that looked like they mightve been adverts?
One was in my lock screen soon after I upgraded but I've not seen it again since.
The other is in my messaging app and appears for literally a split second sometimes when moving between messages or menus.
I took a screen record and slowed it right down to see it. I took a screenshot but am too new a member to upload but it says "get all the content from your old device with xperia transfer mobile".
Has anyone else seen this? It appears to be an official Sony app. Is this adware on my phone or is it just a glitch that for a split second the phone thinks there is no data and inviting me to import old stuff?

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've searched for this and read through 23 pages on this device and didn't find anything about this.
I have this phone running 4.2.2 and activeroot.
About twice per day I will pull the phone out of my pocket, unlock it, and in front of me will be some app that I didn't launch. Not only that, it isn't an app that has a shortcut or widget on my home screen. Usually it's a page of something that normally requires multiple clicks to get to. (clicks? Punches? Pokes? Touches? What's the right word here? )
For example, today I opened the phone and was presented with a list of wifi connections. That is buried in Settings/Wifi/Connections. And I hadn't visited that page EVER. In fact, the last time I was in the settings menu, I was in Settings/account/more/battery but I had since used the task manager multiple times to kill everything that needed killing.Yesterday my phone opened to my calendar settings.
This bizarre behavior is really annoying. It's like it has a mind of its own. The weird thing is, my girlfriend's S4 does this as well. She's been griping about it for 6 months but I just assumed that she was somehow mistakenly opening these apps since she can be a bit dingy with technology. I feel bad now because mine does the same thing and now I'm wondering....is there a fix? DId we both get bad phones? Should I exchange it for another? I'm having some other issues as well but I posted them as separate threads to keep things cleaner.
So I picked up a stock AT&T active and been using it for a month now. I love the phone but a few annoying things that it does daily on me is really starting to make me want to throw the poor phone! First the screen is way to sensitive sometimes! I try to text and it adds letters or I try to move between my home screens and it will open an app like I tapped on it, but I didn't. Or when I close out my running tasks it will act like I double tapped in that certain area and will open my mail app since it was in that touch zone. Anyhow I have played around with all the settings like "Air View" or "Motions and gestures" under the settings menu. Also the calling contact feature is really pissing me off. Say someone calls me but I miss the call, so I bring up my call log and I tap on the person that called me. It shows the phone icon and usually when you tap that, it suppose to call the person, but no stupid phone goes back to the call log list instead. I have to keep doing this like around 5 to 10 times before the dumb phone will finally decide to call the person! I am running the stock, or at least what came with it, firmware. Android version 4.3 with Baseband of I537UCUBML2. Has anyone else had these issues with this phone? Plus how can I fix this?

First off I'll say that ML2 had been known to be buggy. For your first problem, did you make sure Glove Mode is disabled? For your second problem I have no idea. Sorry I can't be more helpful.
If it is in fact stock, do a software update to KitKat and it should fix your stability issues. I can't because of root.
Hi guys, tried to search the forum before posting and not quite sure if its a Samsung ROM thing or an Android thing, or just a "Stupid me" thing. For a few days now I am noticing a strange event that occurs every 30 minutes passed round hour on an hourly basis, I captured a video clip of it and attached here.
It is getting very annoying and I cant find the root cause for the issue.
phone is Note9, unrooted, only official apps from store are installed and I downloaded Kaspersky AV but didnt find any malware/virus.
I would love to hear if anyone has any idea what this might be or a good way of finding the cause.
Thanks !
Are you talking about how that white screen comes up for a moment and then disappears?
Sent from my SM-N960U1 using XDA Labs
Basically since the introduction of emui 9, I have add the issue that the google news feed (swipe left at home screen) will close while scrolling down the article list, or whilst reading an article.
With version 9, it was often enough to be annoying, but not so terrible that I avoided to use it.
With EMUI 10, I normally avoid to look at the google feed at all since I know it will just close at any time.
It could be after 1 minute, or 30 seconds. However, it will always close at some point. I have set every google app to manual manage in the battery app.
Does anyone else have an issue with this crap box phone just randomly decided to close an app? Any idea how to prevent it?
At the moment It is hard to overstate how much I hate this phone.
I have the same problem. It started happening after the update to EMUI 10...
I noticed today, it also does it with the google store.
My god what a crap phone. I don't understand how Huawei was able to make something as good as the nexus 6P and then come up with ****-show EMUI at the same time. Had I not dropped my already cracked phone into water, thus killing it, I would just go back to the old nexus until December when it's time for a new contract.
I cannot imagine any situation where I would ever consider to another Huawei product.

So I am aware that this reply comes almost a year later, but this problem had me searching the entire web for months, only for me to give up. I have a Huawei Y9 (2019) with EMUI 9.1 that did the same. So the obvious solution i tried was to go to settings->apps->google and clear data and clear cache. This temporarily fixed it for a few hours before going back to the same crashing issue. I even tried turning the gestures on and off but that did not help either. Now I had a lot of documents , high resolution images and videos in my phone which occupied almost 88% of my 64gb of internal storage. So I recently decided to back up my data to an external hard drive and removed a lot of the large files from my phone, dropping my occupied storage to about 78% and the very next moment, google feed stopped crashing at all. There were no recent updates and no other changes were made to the phone except freeing up some space. I guess its functionality requires a good amount of free space?
So Im not sure if this will work for anyone else. But it did for me. And so I just want to reply here in case someone else is still facing the exact same problem or still uses their old Huawei. Try freeing up some storage space in your phone if it is full well above 85%. Try dropping it down to 80% or below and hopefully it will fix the issue if nothing else did.
