Freezing. - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

Does anyone have their tablet freeze randomly for a bit, and make it unresponsive for a while (few seconds)?
Or is this the touch screen issue everyone is talking about?

Occasionally, but then again, my first n7 does this loads, as well as my phone, probably an android problem Tbf, every device I've used, including apple products have occasional few seconds of hold ups

I've noticed this on mine as well... I think it has to do with the touchscreen issues. In some spots, I'll tap and there is a few milliseconds delay. In other spots, the taps are recognized immediately.

Mine has a few times on the YouTube app earlier today. First time experiencing it. Unresponsive and gets stuck. Can't even press back button soft key.
Clearly apps fauit since I press home and it goes back to normal. I have to kill the app nd restart again for it to work

me too...
but only when typing in the facebook app with Swiftkey (swiftkey seems to crash sometime... after 5-6 seconds freezing)
but it happened to me only 2 or 3 times in the last week.

Yup, this happens to me frequently, Especially when using Chrome. Freezes for about 10secods then resumes.

Use Chrome Beta as your default and just disable Chrome Stable. It doesn't happen on the Beta builds at all. The most recent Chrome Stable update has an issue within it.

yes this happens, and even turning the screen off won't register. it's a system wide freeze, not a touch screen issue.

This happens to all 4.3 builds including nexus 4...its a fault with aosp not device

Yes but only when in GMail compose mode.

yeah exactly my problem.

For me, the freezing occurs while I am using a browser such as dolphin or Chrome.

The devs in the Nexus 4 section have decided it has to do with the JSS build of 4.3 which is what we have as stock. Its not device specific and looks to be a big problem.
Link to their devs only discussion: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2399089

The freeze goes away for me with an alternate kernel.
I'm using Faux's and it's not doing it.
YMMV, of course.

(Q) Super Slow Screen Rotation

I've noticed that if my screen goes off whilst in landscape orientation it takes a full 10 seconds to rotate to portrait. Idon't have any rotation apps or setting turned on so I'm thinking it's native TW issue. Has anyone seen this and/or found a fix?

Yep....I've seen it many times as I run TW based builds...
The only fix I've found is getting away from the stock stuff..
CM/AOKP/AOSP seem to have it fixed, and If we know where to look, I'm sure it's a setting we could change.....(maybe)
TW framework is big...and I have no idea where to start looking......g
I'm a little disappointed, I mean 10 seconds is flat out ridiculous. Everyone keeps saying that this is one of if not the fastest phone out there, but I'm greeted with this unusual issue that bugs the he'll out of me.

Agreed. ...
You may have some data corruption. ..
Although my screen rotation is slow. ..it's not 10 seconds of slow. ..
Closer to 5 I'd say. ..g

Hey little red...
Try cleaning ir closing apps and cleaning ram through task manager rhe built in by long pressing home....does that help or have you already tried it?..what launcher are you on btw
Yeah I go through and use the task manager a couple times a day. I'll give cleaning up caches later today.

Turning off "Smart Rotation" helped for me.
Yeah I got that turned off.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
has anyone experimented with turning off Smart Stay as well? i just turned it off and will see how it goes..
I've had that turned off, never really mattered to me.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
ah damn, ok. mine seems to be ok so far. i can live with the ocassional lag, i just can't stand it when it gets stuck in one orientation no matter what I do.
I saw this in another thread i think, but there is a market app called Adaptive Rotation Lock. I have it set to Force Auto, and my rotation seems to be about normal! At least i am definitely not getting stuck in one orientation anymore. The bad lag seems to be gone as well, i think. And even the lockscreen works in landscape lol.

Random reboot and wake issue

Did anyone have a random reboot or problem waking the device?

I have a heck of a time getting the device to turn on using the power button. It's as if the button is recessed a bit...it's hard to press in an awkward place.
Also, I've left the device a few times for long stretches to find that I need to boot it up to turn it on. It powered completely down on its own.
I love it, though; definitely not disappointed.

I don't experience reboots waking up the device but i've had the tablet reboot on me once today while watching a netflix video. It also rebooted three times yesterday while chromecasting.
I've been getting random reboots but no problems waking the device.

This happened to me today, not sure if it's a symptom of a defective device or just a software bug
Picked mine up this morning. I've seen 3 random reboots with it in my hand today. It had also turned itself off once while in my bag and required a long press to boot back up. For now I'm chalking it up to 4.3 still being in its infancy.
Luckily it reboots really fast!

Yeah mine reboots here and there on it own. Also I don't like the way that if you're playing a game sometimes and have to listen or read a but of dialogue. The screen auto shutoff will still turn off.......

I had mine next to my bed last night and for some reason when I looked over at the Nexus 7, the screen was "on" but nothing was being displayed. It would not respond to anything. I held down the power button and went to bed.
Now it won't boot at all past the Nexus logo screen! I haven't tried rooting it or anything (I do have BusyBox and SuperSU installed from my previous Nexus 7, but without the bootloader being unlocked or root it shouldn't do anything, right?).
Been waiting for 20 minutes and it's stuck at the Nexus logo screen...
I have a similar issue where upon waking the device in the morning it will reboot. The odd thing it usually doesn't do it right away, but up to a minute afterwards.
Very odd.
No random rebots <knock on wood> but I do find it difficult to find and press the power button without sometimes turning the device to see what I am doing.

Random reboot

Anyone else experiencing random reboots? I have had one so far when using chrome.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
I'm beginning to wonder.
For me, I haven't caught it. But I use Sidebar and RoundR which have stupid notifications. I hide the notifications but they return after every reboot... And I'm finding them on more often then I would like.
So either the device is rebooting, or there is a problem with the Hide Notifications sticking.
Typically reboots are issues with the kernel. I doubt it is hardware. If it weren't for the notifications, I wouldn't even suspect it. Could be more wide spread then people are noticing.
I would advise everyone to keep a watch on it. I'm looking for an app that says when the last boot was. Android settings > Status shows uptime. Mine shows 14 hours, which would be accurate since I unlocked and all that jazz.
Could just be an incompatibility with 4.3 or the app in general.
I'll just wait and see.

Chrome issues in Nexus 7 (2013) after reboot.

I have had the tablet for couple of weeks now without any issues. 4 days back I shutdown my tablet first time during the night and turned it back on next morning. It won't boot, got stuck on nexus logo. Hard rebooted. It happened the same way next day. But not any more since yesterday. I shutdown and restart every morning without any issues. But chrome has been misbehaving since then. I can't use the browser longer than 5 mins or so. It just hangs and throws the not responding dialog. Sent the error report couple of times. Tried clearing cache, reinstalling etc. Did not help. Tried many sites, happens with every single site, so not an issue with a particular web site. Very weird. Can't use the browser at all. Frustrating. Any one else facing such issues? Any help? thanks.

Happens to me too. This is a complete guess, but I think it's software related. Chrome Beta hasn't really given me the same issue, if you wish to stick with Chrome.
I'd like to stay positive and believe that the next update for Chrome will reduce the lag.
I factory reset my device now. Did not help. Totally broken browser. It was perfectly alright first few days. Can't use the browser at all now.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
Can someone please confirm. Not sure of its my device, but it's not random freeze. Chrome consistently freezes within few seconds of starting it 100% of the time. It wasn't the case when I got the tablet. I can't use the browser at all literally.

How does it respond to other browsers like Dolphin or Boat?

[Q] My Magazine Not Responding All the time

Hey everyone,
I don't even use My Magazine but it stops responding all the time. Like 3 or 4 times a day. And everything freezes for a few seconds every time it does.
Anyone else hear of this / know of a solution? A friend told me it's a known issue with using the Nova launcher, but I was just searching for this known issue and I can't find a thread about it anywhere.
yes me too I thought it happened after I tried to unintelligible it and other bloat with titanium nd things started force closing so I restored them....wither way though same happens to me

well at least i'm not alone haha. i haven't done anything to try to disable or hide it. i'm not even rooted or anything yet. i just haven't used it since the day i got the phone 2 weeks ago and yet since the past 3 or 4 days it's been popping up not responding at random.
i just started suffering from this problem and i can't fix it. My Magazine freezes and crashes when i'm not even using it and it does this very often. This makes the phone lock up for a couple seconds. Very annoying.

Ditto, I believe it's happening to all note 3s, I remember reading about this same issue weeks ago when I first got my phone

Go to setting - General - Application manager - all - find my magazine - clear data and cache - force stop - restart your phone. This is how I fixed it. I hope it helps you.
Ps: this fixed the crashing issue but it's still very laggy at first start then is good.

Blaster - did what you mentioned, but next day came back! I hope they do an update soon to fix this! It sucks they force this app on us and it is not stable.
