Strange (repeatable) reboot issue - Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Not sure if it's just me, but every/any time I try to open up the USA Today app, my phone reboots.
I've tried clearing data, clearing cache, uninstalling/reinstalling and the same thing - click the icon, splash screen, droid animation...
Anybody else?

Ok, glad it's not just me!
Absolutely love this phone, but was beginning to think I might've gotten a lemon. Guess will just have to wait for the JB update :fingers-crossed:

And the plot thickens lol

I installed the app just to see, and it reboots my phone after the splash screen as well. (on wifi)

No problems here - that "do you want alerts?" notification pops up immediately after the splash screen... maybe a coincidence, but worth mentioning... I guess.

doesnt happen to me either. I said "no" to alerts -- if it's rebooting, did you say "yes" to alerts?

Never even got to that point.

Is this freshly downloaded or being restored from a previous account? I wonder if you have the right one for ICS. Mine is v. 1.9.

Fresh installed. Even tried uninstalling and reinstalling from the Play Store.
Wonder what the difference is!?

I'm wondering if it's some conflict between two apps.
Update: took a quick look at the reviews and see one person reporting it -- are you dmitry?

I've got the same problem here. Weirdly, it also occurs when I try and use the AP Mobile app. Happens if I'm on wifi or mobile data.
Maybe part of Moto's plan to deny us access to quality news apps?

I came to the boards to see if this random rebooting was just my problem but seems like it is not. My phone has been rebooting for the last 3 nights in a row around the same time, 10pm eastern time. No clue what is causing it.
Also tried the USA Today app and yes it does reboot the phone.
Very strange...
Another issue I have is....my phone screen kinda flickers and starts getting brighter from dimmed screen.
Anyone else gets this?
UPDATE: I just saw this in the general section - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1919581
and I also installed Nova Launcher recently and I feel like that might be the culprit...This is really really strange.

Stock KF3 dialer freezes/lags?

Is anyone experiencing an issue when using the dialer in stock KF3? It freezes for a few seconds when switching between the tabs (Keypad, Logs, Contacts and Favourites).
This wasn't like this when I first got the phone. But suddenly it started to behave badly. This is the only problem I've experienced.
I'm running stock unrooted KF3.
Please help me.
If it weren't there from the first then you may have installed something which is causing the issue?

Wonder what that could be. Maybe Skype influencing with the dialer or something. I'll try uninstalling.
But now I got a FC:
Activity Phone (in process android.process.acore) is not responding
I tried switching back and forth from Keypad to Contacts, everything was fine.
Also I tried switching from Contacts to Favourites, everything fine.
But when I try to switch to/from Logs, everything freezes/lags.
I tried cleaning Logs (call history), everything fine now.
WOW WEIRD!
That shouldn't be a solution, I mean removing Call history, nah. How long was it anyway? I've mine for 2 months since I purchased, never had a prob!

About the same, 2 months.
Maybe I do a factory reset if this occurs again.
Oh well, now I am scared if it will happen to me as well, least both of us on KF3!

I think the problem from this app: (Android WebView) because someone who have the same phone have this very same problem.
One more thing the screen is doing weird things too?!
Anyone who knows what the hell is happening to my phone please let me know what to do.

Have you tried doing a factory reset, that would probably help...

Actually after posting this I did a factory reset but just after updating several apps the problem came again.
One thing that I noticed that when I leave the screen without touching it the app stays just fine like YouTube watching movies and like that but when I start browsing and scrolling the app crash... WTF?!

Thanks for your time man!
Yeah that's really what bothers me a lot!
I cleared the cache but it helped for a few hours and came back again but now I force-stopped that app and then unstalled the updates then disabled it, Now I don't have any problems "for now" but I think that app really missed up my screen because the screen before disabling it was giving weird colors... anyway I really hope that it'll never encounter me again! My phone was literally unusable!

Camera trap with 240fps!

Hi,
The problem here is related to camera, not with my phone, but my cousin's one, whenever he switches to 240 fps video recording, the phone crashes, forcing him to reboot.
As regarding my 6P, I'd never faced such issue. I looked online, and found few people complaining about it, many of them considered replacing the defective unit. *which is difficult in my country*
Does anyone here have any kind of solution for such problem? :crying:
Has he tried doing a factory reset and make sure he's on the latest version?

I'm sure it's the latest version.
But it's a used phone *almost new* and he did factory reset before doing anything.
Mine used to crash like that but now does not, always been totally stock, on Feb. update.

So, it had been resolved by Feb update?
Check Apps
I had same issue.
The reaqson was in LiveWallpaper which crashed device camera.
Another one had this issue because of one static wallpaper.
Check your apps & walppapers. You also may try to turn on Safe Mode to exclude 3rd party apps from loading.

I haven't had an issue with this myself just to clarify and I'm not sure if you tried already or not but just thought I'd throw this out there because it's the first thing I'd try, have you tried going into Settings - Apps and clearing out the data and cache on the camera app and then rebooting first before checking to see if it fixed the problem? If you have already but it didn't fix it unfortunately I wouldn't know what else to tell ya unless you're rooted, and to be honest I can't remember if the Sprint V20 has been rooted or not. Anyway hope it helps.

The camera app both front & back works fast and great

android 10 jitters after update

Ever since I got android 10 my phone gets these random jitters from time to time. Also I noticed whenever I'm in an app and I close to go back to my home screen the home screen refreshes (using nova) I don't ever recall having these issues on pie. It just seems really buggy. I never got to try the beta's since my country didn't have the program.

I really don't want to wipe. I put so much time into customizing everything the way i want it
Mine hasn't been hitting at all, however sometimes when I pull my notification shade down and then expand a notification it freezes. I'm almost ready to do a factory reset to see if that fixes it

I also noticed that the ram management has been horrible. I notice this after the phone has been rebooted and it's several hours later. Never was like that on pie
If you backup, it takes like 10 minutes to factory reset and restore. You could be done by now...

It's not just about backing up apps, it's setting them all up the way you want them

Don't "lol" as you've clearly never backed up & restored on nonrooted Android or via Samsung SmartSwitch.. They don't cover everything, by a mile.
Not sure why you you think it's okay around here to recommend something you don't understand. People are looking for help, not uniformed smugness.

I did it not to long ago, enjoy your bugs.
I have jitters and stutters within both Samsung and Gmail apps. I also get freezing when I pull down my notification shade and try to expand Gmail notifications. The latter happens about 80%of the time where as email jitter and stutters are constant. I have factory reset twice without restoring from any backups.
This did not do this in PIE.

Same here. Horrible ram management, random freezes. Samsung is definitely rushing to release the "stable" version of the android 10.
Not quite sure why people still believes doing a factory reset can fix everything.
For me scrolling in any internet browser is choppy.
Yeah so it seems they released this update too early and it's still feeling like a beta. I'll probably wait til January patch comes out and see if they fixed it
Am also experiencing the same random jitters this thread is talking about. I updated to Android 10 (BSKO) the day it became available to Greece (EUR, December 9th) on my S10+ (SM-G975F). Am holding up till January update before resetting and possibly downgrading, first versions of Android OSes suck in general anyway. Bit of advice, if your S10 is having a "lag attack" on Android 10, do not, under no circumstances open the camera. Touch input will freeze up and camera will just show a laggy feed of what's going on for about 5-7 minutes before unlagging and forcing a reboot.
