I just had another crash replying to a post here using tapatalk. The keyboard had small pink corruptions as if video memory had an issue.
I pulled the battery for about 10 seconds, tried to turn it back on. No dice. I tried again except pulled the sim as well, that worked.
Maybe some of us having crashes are sim related?

I've had to do a second battery pull today. Phone locks up then about 5 seconds later the display goes dark. Not fun.

I froze twice in the past three days. I was using hand cent and browsing. The battery had to be pulled in order for restart.

Yesterday I noticed GetJar was keeping the device awake (in battery stats), but otherwise it was responsive and all good. I uninstalled GetJar and rebooted for good measure. It powered down fine, but wouldn't power back up. I had to pull the battery.
My first 'battery pull' so far!
I had my first crash today while I was replying to an SMS message. The screen produced these broken specs of green.
I couldn't exit from the SMS, eventually the screen turned itself off and then nothing.
I had to perform a battery pull to fix.
When the phone booted back up ICS complained that the launcher had crashed.
Instead of clicking 'stop' I clicked 'wait'.
Phone returned to normal after that.

Did you guys restore old apps/app data from your previous Android device? If so, factory reset and START FRESH.
I can't count the people I know that had issues all stubbornly because they refused to start fresh from a new device.

I didn't use a restore. I just added my Google account and let the phone download my apps that I more or less had from my Nexus One.
Is that OK to do?
Or should I have done something else??
Let me know, Thanks.

This is how it works. When you login all the apps install automatically.
I just noticed this morning that a bunch of apps I had uninstalled already on my GN automatically reinstalled. Odd right?

If you have "force 2d rendering" checked in the developer settings, that will cause many issues.

I don't have any dev options on. I'm basically seeing what others are. Lockup, sometimes with screen corruption, then the display eventually goes black some short amount of time afterward. Battery pull required. I thought it may be heat related at one time but it has happened when the device was relatively cool. Seems like a software driver issue that can hopefully be addressed.

I believe that once you've done your first hard reboot on this phone the UI becomes permanently jumpy/choppy/laggy. Anyone?

No lag here after 2 reboots. One of which was pulling the battery after turning the phone off to get the serial number.

By hard reboot I mean VolUp+Power. I'm not talking about powering off the phone.

that's technically a factory / ROM reset back to default

Dude, it's different from Factory Data Reset. It doesn't erase affect your setup. Ok. How about a simple reboot - just by holding power button. Can you do that and tell me what happens?

My routine to make it relatively smooth: Power Off / Power on while holding VolUp+Power and waiting for it to vibrate a couple of times / Turn off display animations / Turn off wallpaper scrolling.

When you hard reboot it actually factory resets the data the reason its lagging cause its reinstalling all the Bloatware Tmobile put on it. So you need at least 5-7 minutes.
Ive already done a hard reset on my phone after receiving it and the reason was i had a issue with music on my sd card. I dont see the lag you speak of. If its persistent then get it replaced. I have no issues as of yet with the phone and its running great. My only slight issue is battery but that is most likely due to bloat.

Have done plenty of normal reboots via the power button (power off then power on) and pulling the battery. Mine is still quite a bit more snappy than the Vibrant it replaced.
Can somebody smash their phone for me and let me know if its damaged after? It seems all phones are damaged after they're smashed.
Seriously op, if you know it messes up the phone, why ask others to do it? Why would anybody do that anyways? Seems pointless.

I've smashed mine several times, one of which was even a sledgehammer dropped from a 3-story building right onto the glass. no damage here, it's actually less damaged than my MT4G was fresh out of the box
Sorry, just had to post the other side of things too lol
I keep finding maps running in my running apps list and it is always in my battery list. I have never used it and keep force stopping it but it keeps restarting itself. Is there a reason to this and can I stop it?
Thanks.
PS. I am a newbie coming from iPhone 3gs, this is my first android phone so am new to it all. Sorry to ask so many questions!

I charged phone to max before I want to bed and then took off charge. This morning after 8 hours, down to 90% battery and maps had used 50% of battery! What's going on!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
Don't worry about it. You're spending more time/battery trying to kill it and worry about it than its using by just doing its thing in the background.
Just open the maps app and make sure its not doing anything funny. If its not having issues then just leave it.
Dropping 10% over an 8 hour period over night is completely normal. The only reason why maps was 50% of the battery consumed is that the screen was not on and the rest of the system wasn't doing anything.
I know what your saying but over 16 hours that's 10% of my battery wasted on nothing that I ever use and phone keeps running out so I want that 10% back!

I can see where you're coming from mate, its not acceptable. Have you tried going into manage apps and clearing data for Google maps, then if that doesn't work you can uninstall updates from the same page, go to android market and update the maps app. If all else fails you can try a factory data reset from the backup and restore menu option. Hope this helps
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
actually, are you seeing maps running when you go to settings then applications then use the running tab?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
It not showing under running apps, nothing mentions apps but there was something under Google services called locations and I have force stopped that so will see what happens. Maybe a update will sort this. I have turned off all location services and GPS but when on browser it still knows where I am when I do searches so I think the browser is triggering something to restart! Hope that makes sense!

Under Settings/Apps/Running I see Maps running constantly for NetworkLocationServices. Can't be killed and turning off all location services doesn't help.

Still having problems with this, disabled everything I can think of. I just want to uninstall maps as I never use it but I can't.
Maybe Google Latitude is turned on in the Maps Settings?
I'm wondering if its Facebook keeps activating it as that also keeps starting in apps and I can't turn it off as cannot access any options in ics.
I was running Paul's custom ROM for the past week or so. I plugged my phone in to a portable charger because the battery was low. This is not the first time I have used this charger on this phone. After a few minutes the phone rebooted. I found this odd so I tried to figure out what was going on. I unlocked the device and went into settings....phone rebooted again. I tried reflashing the MoDaCo ROM, reflashing the original ROM and resetting the device. It still does it. Im still new to Android platform (moving away from a shameful iPhone) so Im lost on what the problem could be. Any ideas?

After i restore to factory everything works fine. It starts again (doesn't matter which ROM I'm using) when Google syncs the apps I've downloaded to the phone. It's stable right now until I figure out what the hell is going on.
I would say app but you said you wiped everything..

Right. It works fine until Google starts to sync my data from my account. Is there a way to pinpoint which app is causing the damage?
Nevermind. It does it anyway. Hardware issue? Overheating issue?
Hi!..I have an issue with the screen. Sometimes when I keep my phone aside my phone screen suddenly lightens up shows the pattern unlock page and automatically turns off. This happens 4-5 times in succession. First I thought its because of the antivirus app so I uninstalled it but still the problem persists. Does anyone know why this is happening? Any suggestion will be helpful.

I think we'll probably need a lot more information than that...
It could be anything. When I have mine plugged into my computer and the screensaver kicks on or when the laptop falls asleep, it does the same thing to mine because the USB power is cycling but it could be anything. Are you rooted? What ROM? What kernel? What is the battery state? Go into settings > apps and see what's running, start testing those out.
If your rooted, the problem with the screen waking is possibly superSU granting an app root access. Its usually a toast pop up saying that an interactive shell has been granted. At least it has been for me in the past. You can turn the notification off in the superSU settings.

my gf's HD2 used to do the same thing after she dropped it on its bottom right corner.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
My Nexus does that from time to time. Running AOKP JB preview builds. Latest franco kernel. Screen just turns on. No popups, no notification, just shows the lock screen until it times out again. Doesn't do it enough to worry me but it is a little odd.
No I have not rooted my nexus, using ICS 4.0.4. My phone is yakjuxw so haven't got the JB update yet..I have general apps like Facebook, whatsapp, power toggle,etc to name few.

Next time it does it see if your phone says charging even though not plugged in. Could be a bad charge port on your phone.
Had the same thing. The culprit turned out to be folder sync.

May have to factory reset your phone. I had a problem where my CPU was pegged at 300mhz and couldn't isolate it. Factory reset fixed it. Off topic, I tried to do software nav button mod and ended up having to factory reset 5 more times this weekend, the first one being painstaking because my phone froze every 10 seconds and I could only input touches about 1 second each ten second interval. Took me 2 hours to get root explorer downloaded finally and another 2 hours to get to the file and delete the line of code I added. Ugh.

Nope. Took back the G2 and got the Note 3 and the Galaxy Gear. It's nothing against the G2. That phone was/is amazing. I just wanted to try the Note 3 and I'm kinda liking it so far. Touchwiz is actually incredibly smooth for once.
