I had Google services stop responding once. Also the phone froze once as well, was able to kill all apps and it fixed it.

Moved to AT&T GS5 Q&A Forum.

It does it nearly every time I try and play back a video that's saved on my SD card from my old S2. It turns black and is unresponsive for about a minute or two. It mostly does it using MX Player, but sometimes also using the stock video player and QuickPic video player. It's kinda embarrassing showing off videos on a brand new phone and it freezes up this much.

I'm having the same issue, has happened about 5 times now with no rhyme or reason as to why. My phone freezes if I attempt to view a video on websites also. Really getting annoyed with this.

Hi guys,
My sis has bought an incredible S last saturday so 6 days ago. While these 3 days she had 3 random reboots of the device. Once it was in the mid of the day, today it was during the night (it was charging) and no its not because the battery was low. So does anyone know what the problem is?
Thank you.

After about 10 days playing arround, my phone did not reboot or crash. not even ones.
I really dont care about dualcore becouse this thing runs like a dream. Really looking forward to the upcomming android/sense update.
Since we don't have logs or anything no we don't.
Just like every ROM: probably a faulty app. Factory reset and only use the stock apps for a day or 2. If it still persists you can complain @ HTC with no problems install some apps and repeat. The usual debug process.

[Q] Random Reboots

Is anyone else experiencing random reboots at least once a day? I notice that mine has once in a while averaging maybe one a day. Random times.
At least unlike my old Captivate, it reboots and not just shut off.
I get too, I noticed it's from some app's.

What is waterbeer?
I also get random reboots and have had bootloop twice as well on stock. I agree certain apps do it to me it was apps that have t do with playing movies nd videos for me
I have random reboots when I am not using the phone. Its on the home screen and then I notice it has rebooted itself. Really annoying.

Same here. I will be sitting there, and all of a sudden, the LG logo shows up and reboots. I went over to the LG forum and stated it there. May not be a bad idea for others to do the same thing so that they realize it is a widespread problem.
Here's the link: http://www.lgforum.com/forum/boards/carriers/at-and-t/topics/random-reboots-on-the-lg-thrill#35919

Mine has had one random reboot, but that's it.
Out of curiosity, is everyone using the stock battery? Or do you use an aftermarket one?
I use both, but it seems to do it with both.
Has any one linked the software version to the problem? Either 10A or 10E?

I'm on 10E
It also seems to be an issue on the Optimus 3D and was on the G2X
I am on my second Thrill (that just sounds funny to me) and I have not had the reboot issue with either of them. The first phone had serious GPS issues and was running V10e. The second device has worked perfectly so far, even GPS, and is curiously on V10d. I tried the LG software, and the on device, update and it states I am currently up to date.
I was not aware there even was a V10d version. The full version number is LGP925-V10d-JUL-20-2011.
I don't know if there is any relation to the software version and random reboots. My original V10e device did not experience this issue. I am thinking it must be a combination of software and settings, or truly defective devices. It is entirely possible that it could be related to software syncing (i.e. email, contacts, etc.) or wireless AP causing some sort of memory leak.
Has anyone noticed any heat issues when their device is rebooting?
i have Thrill "not for sale" , not reboot
has anyone ever come up with a solution to fix this problem with the random reboots. I have yet to flash any of the custom roms. due to the fact that i dont know if that will fix this issue. Any info would b greatly appreciated because i really enjoy this device.

Screen extreamly white/faded. UPDATED: included video

I saw another post from gamestop but I received mine from play store. And mine seems to be an extreamly bad case: see the picture. Barely useable since its so white. Anyone seen this problem / have any ideas? Also, has anyone had to get a replacement from the play store and have any information about it? Do you get a brand new one?
Edit: For everyone who think i edited it..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NkRSP2aKQI&feature=youtu.be

That is probably just from the camera moving while taking the picture. I've seen at least one other user with a screen that bad. So it may be real.
Mine was looked white and faded at first, however nothing remotely that bad. After about 3 days it seemed to get better. Though it seems most times when I play a video it gets white and faded again, but goes away a few seconds after leaving the video app.
But something that bad, I'm not sure if that'll look normal after a few days or not.

I really dont know why the screen doesnt line up, maybe i was holding it at an angle or something, but its legit just watch the vid
I wonder what would happen if you play a video, like the Transformers movie. My screen gets worse after playing videos, but then clears up (though never really looks completely good).

Same thing happens regardless of what im doing. After like 5 minutes of staying on it will only half as bad, but whenever i turn the screen off for more than 2 minutes it goes back to this
So same thing just started affecting me today. First let me start out that I've had 0 issues until today. Went to try one of the root kits and got my N7 rooted updated SU and restarted now its washed out just like whats shown by OP. Could be coincidence who knows. Is this a common defect that takes time to occur?
I bought mine on Monday from office depot. It was great until Thursday morning when it started this exact problem. I'm going back to office depot to exchange it tomorrow. My mom bought one from the Google play store and she hasn't had any of these problems.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
That is defective. Exchange it.
Same problem here. It was fine since I got it and now the screen is all washed out.
search for the thread of "screen burn in + washed out", you will find more information on RMA there. I had the same issue and received my replacement in 4 days. the left side of the screen is still a bit lifted on the new one, but that is nothing compared to white out screen.

No idea what causes it but I get it sometimes too. It happens on my phone once every 3 weeks or so..... it's strange.
Im on Perseus kernel.
thanks for replying. i am on stock kernal. is this relate to crt off animation?

To be honest I have absolutely no idea what it relates to. It happens so infrequently to me I haven't ever been bothered by it or tried to figure out what it was.

I get this as well, and I'm on completly stock and unrooted so I wouldn't worry about. I thought it was just because I used widget locker but obviously not.

Same here! This morning for the first time.
Completely stock phone, XELLA H3G. I bought it 2 months ago
Strange
It happened to me too for 3/4 times over last few months. My I9300 S3 is close to its 7th month. I can tell that thing had not happened until last few months. I have crt-off.
I used my i9305 for about 8 weeks and saw the blue (and sometimes green) screen sometimes for just a sec when i unlock the screen.
Unfortunately this handset died on monday afternoon. Hope this is only a bad coincidence.
Hi,
Don't worry about that....See a Blue screen can give a bad feeling (mainly to Windows user...)
But nothing to compare with BSOD (Blue Screen Of Death) you can get when Windows crash

Completely dead. No boot, no download mode, no recovery. Had to bring it to my service provider, but they change it without any problems. Hope I will get the new one back today.
Other two times today...first yesterday.
Hoping this will not be a new strange issue causing SoSD or similar!
Atm no other strange problems
I'm on XELLA (H3G)
Handset bought on Dec 21

Back button failing to respond

I've noticed that the back button on my HTC One sometimes doesn't respond and I have to press it quite a few times before it starts working again.
The issue is very random and intermittent I don't know what sets the issue off, anyone else had this issue?
I've only had the phone for a day, should I call P4U and return it?

are you sure youre hitting the actual sensitive part of the button?
mine works great but i do find the button is a little "small" - just a case of getting used to the placement for me
I have mine and all ok, but friend sent his back because of this problem

Yep I'm hitting the icon dead on not missing the sensitive part. Its strange because I'm pressing exactly where the back button responds then suddenly it stops working.

That's what happened the first time round but the problem then started to occur more often but on a irregular basis. For a second I thought it's because the phone is getting quite warm.
It's annoying though, safe bet is just to exchange it before the problem gets worse
