I have had the SG2 for 5 days now and love the look and feel of the phone, but I am having a few problems with it.
When playing "Guns n Glory" and "Robo Defence" after about 5 or 6 minutes the screen freezes. I have to press and hold the home button and go into task manager to exit from these games before I can restart them, only for the same thing to happen again.
Also, I use wireless tethering during the day with the phone on charge but about every hour or more I lose tethering on my laptop although the phone still shows it as working and also shows a good charge. The phone is not rooted.
Any advice please.
Regards
Could anyone kindly have a go at playing an intense game to see if they have a problem with the screen freezing up after 5 minutes please. I only have 2 days left to sent my phone back if it is just mine with the problem.
Thanks for any help.

If it's faulty, you have at least 28 days.
In fact there's a 6 months rebuttable presumption that if a fault is discovered, it was present at the time of delivery.
Don't worry about the 7 days distance selling thing. That's only if you've changed your mind but there's nothing wrong with the phone.

Thanks for that.
Its just that I am not sure if it is faulty or if it is the fault of the game software. I have not seen other reports of these problems from other SG2 owners.
havent had any of these problems
been playing drag racer, tap fish, robot unicorns attack and robo defense
yes i have had the screen freeze in robo defense, i figure the program just crashed. clicking the home button got me back to android.

Thanks for that. It seems that only the game freezes and not the phone. Like you said, a press on the home key allows me to go to task manager and close the game.........but does not save that level
Today I tried playing it without touching the edge of the screen and that seemed to help.

Same issue here.
They've been doing a lot of updates with bug fixes and maybe they changed something that's causing it to hang since it's listed as one of the games that worked from an earlier post
also try out grave defense HD. I'm liking it much better than robo defense so far
I think what you are seeing here is a two-tiered issue:-
1. The Exynos & Mali are new and certain Games will have issues. Eventually these should be sorted either by the games developer or Samsung.
2. As you know Games go through period updates. Sometimes these updates are for the better but then there will be the occasion fixing a bug or bringing in new features will cause issues with certain phones.
Basically let the games developer know of the situation and if required send them a LogCat of your phone whilst playing the game.

There are more that I have uninstalled after it freeze.
I too have been having game freezes on my s2. Robo defence and guns and glory as the first poster said. also noticed cut the rope v1 at last box freezes alot. had my phone for almost a month, and have pushed these freezes aside as like most of you have said, most likely app fault. However im beginning to wonder if it is the phone. Its starting to become a trend. ie i get some games and some of them will freeze... really scared atm.

At least for robodefense, it runs solid without sound turned on and same goes for handful of games. Also based on the description for robodefense, it sounds like sound issue exists on atrix as well.
Cut the rope has been rock solid but I haven't reached the last level yet

Yea, on further reading, game developer for dungeon and dragons said it may have to do with a unstable sound system in the galaxy s2... Just got off the phone with samsung and they said that its got nothing to do with them..... looks like we'll just have to wait. Or play without sound.
Atleast i other people are having problems, so i guess its not just my phone.
Any of you have a problem with accelaration sensor after game freeze? Does your screen auto rotation work?

So I just signed up in this forum just so I can post my findings. I would like everyone to be aware of the issue. I spent and hour and a half with tech support (supprisingly the best I have ever had and usually never call tech support) making sure there wasn't something I was missing, Or yet hopefully here someone could chime in and help. I have a Motorola Elecrify from us cellular which I take it as basically the same as the photon 4g. Which I also have rooted. I have access to a non rooted phone and same thing is occuring. What is going on is When you use a emulator lets say john nes light and playing a nes game like super mario bros and hold the dpad left or right button for about 8 secs it stops you have to release the button for a good sec and than you can press it again. If you do it to quick you press the button go forward and than stop. Any app or game that you hold the button down for a few seconds it stops. A great free game to test is called zombie village. Just press and hold forwar and you will see exactly what I am talking about. Like I said any game will do this. Its just not this game. I had the Galaxy S and none of this happens. Only with the Electrfies. Any ideas? Thanks and sorry for the long post.
Yep I see this frequently with on screen controls that require you to continue to hold the screen. Galaxy on fire comes to mind, pacman too. But I've learned to tap quickly instead of hold lol. Its a nuisance.

I don't believe that this is a Photon/Electrify-specific issue. Can someone confirm?
Also, seeing as you are the only Electrify user on here, is there any way that you can upload a full system dump of your phone? That way we can compare internals...
Thanks!

I can confirm that this glitch is present when playing Racing Moto.
It's not bug, it's a feature -- water drop detection, very annoying but officially confirmed on atrix and now on photon.
This "feature" was not throughly thought out. Who gets more water droplets than their finger on the screen?
i have this problem too!
I can confirm I have this problem. Happened while playing Mario kart on snes emulator. Unable to accelerate due to this "feature"

(1st post - short time lurker)
I also have the Electrify from USC and have it rooted using the AIO method - thanks to shabbypenguin and others involved. The only issue I have run across since doing this was webtop would not load when inserting the device into HD Dock, but clearing cache in the Webtop Connector app and reboot seems to have fixed that for now.
More on topic, I can confirm the screen issue being discussed as evidenced in the "Sprinkle" game that is promoted on the Nvidia Tegra Zone. The game involves pressing an on screen button to shoot water to put out fires. The need to constantly hold the button is a given (at least for me.) I was beginning to think it was a problem with the program, but it may just as well be the glitch described here.
this isn't a photon specific issue, i've had this happen with the hp touchpad when playing asphalt 6, i think it just has somethin to do with touch screens in general
I experience this on yays deodexed rom....
ATRIX, bionic, droix3 ....all have this protocol for security reasons
Moto says its for prevent hold touch with water

This game probably doesnt have any patches to support the photon hardware, much like a computer game issues can arise when using a different operating system or from various video cards, android games are not optimized for each and every android phone out there, I suggest talking to the software company releasing this game, see if you can find out if there are game patches or notify them regarding your issues and perhaps browsing theough tegra 2 forums to find a solution? I do know there is some kind of tegra2 zone where you can find games optimized for the tegra2 processor

I don't think processor optimization has anything to do with it. This behavior its easily verified without playing a game. Download any of the free multitouch test apps. Hold a finger down anywhere for a while (for me it takes about 12 seconds), and the circle, or crosshairs, or whatever whatever will disappear. Worse yet, if you move your finger around after that, the indicator will jump and skitter around a bit, then disappear immediately again.
According to some of the other posts in this thread, this isn't a bug, it's a "feature", but it's one feature I could do without. I'm hoping that, if we get CM7 (or 8?!), we can turn this little feature off.
Im Sorry i haven't posted since I opened this thread. But I have pretty much gotten used to it. I just have to change the way I play games and roms. Still sucks but what can I do? Thanks for all the posts. Is there anyway to edit this behavior or anything?
I get lag and unresponsive touch controls after a few hours heavy use. It is resolved with a reboot. Not many 3 party apps installed. Is there a particular way to exit apps in android, I notice not every app has a exit option in it's menu.
Most annoying is when browsing the web and the screen can't determine if it should zoom or scroll.
I'm coming from WM6.5 so if there are some basics that apply to Android and are not phone specific, please point me to the right guide.

You must have seen my thread! lol
Chill out guys, the phone gets better with more development, complaining about issues that can pretty easily be resolved with some Dev effort isn't going to get us the Dev effort we want. There is an issue thread, lets keep everything confined to that thread unless it is a question that hasn't been asked. That way, they can see what the issues are, and take action as they can.
like i post everywhere, especially on youtube (because youtube=full of haters)
Nexus fanboys have become as bad as Apple fanboys. period. they're JUST as bad now, and they're annoying as ****. whatever, let him return it and get a phone that's got no definitive release date. he can have fun with his boring, ugly stock android while we love our looks of sense.
I can say that I've had 0 issues with this phone whatsoever. Which is very surprising to me being that every phone that I've ever had always had something about it that I didn't like. I can't find anything with the rezound that I don't like. No lags, battery life is good, zippy, and the screen is amazing. I haven't used the task killer as of yet and I don't think I'm gonna have to. Not trying to sound like a fanboy but it is what it is.

I think I figured it out, in the afternoon I plug the phone in to charge so it will be fully charged by the time I get off work. At that time is when I was experiencing instability. What I found the cause to be is a cheapo usb cable. Anytime I try to use the phone with that cable plugged in it would exhibit instability and a jumpy screen. It would stop immediately after I unplug the usb cable. Never had this type of problem with a cable before, I've had phones not charge because of loose fitting cables but never had a cable screw the phone up like that.

if you are plugged in, check your usb power adapter
I usually change batteries often enough on my tbolt that it isn't a problem, but I like system panel app's widget to kill all. If my phone starts to bog down, just hit it on the home screen and everything gets cleared. You can set a list of apps for it to ignore as well.
As far as nexus fanboys, yeah they are getting bad and tech bloggers are the worst. Reviews of the nexus have actually been pretty middle of the road. Engadget said that it is not as smooth as GB (ICS) and the camera was disappointing. You also can't mount your storage to usb to transfer files and the screen has some amoled issues, esp. with brightness turned down.
I'm definitely favoring the rezound, but will wait till I can score one on Craigslist for about 300.
So I got my DNA on Sunday. So far, I'm pretty happy with it except for one issue. My multitouch seems messed up. If I'm trying to play a game that requires both thumbs, basically the two of them tapping the screen interfere with one another. For example, if I'm playing something like shadowgun, or GTA III, or max payne, or even the preinstalled diablo clone, if I'm moving a character and try to press an attack button at the same time(or in the case of GTA trying to actually steer while driving) the character movement "stick" resets to neutral. and sometimes the reverse will happen. Trying to move will cause the attack button to stop registering. The issue has been "confirmed" by me with multitouch visible test found in the play store. In the test, moving my thumbs around and making them cross axis screws up the touch registering. could anyone confirm or deny that this is happening on their device? Games are basically unplayable. I went into a VZW store today(the only one in my are with the phone in stock) and tried their demo unit and it exhibited the same problem. I was then promptly told by the sales rep that the one device they had was being held for a paid order. Nevermind the fact that I was told over the phone minutes before that the one phone was available and that they DO NOT hold devices for customers. A call to corporate may be in order... Anyway, any thoughts on the multitouch "issue" would be greatly appreciated.
Have you tried turning off HTC gestures in Settings -> Display & Gestures? I think the 3 finger swipe for HTC Media Link messes with multi touch
Generally speaking any issues with multitouch are software related. The sensors should be fine its a matter of callibration based on the software. Like the previous poster said it may be due to sense's gesture features. New kernels when they are released will likely fix this but I have never experiencedit. Gonna have to try and reproduce this today.
I've also noticed plenty of issues with multi touch. I've noticed while browsing, if I'm holding the phone with two hands and any portion of my one hand is touching the screen and I'm trying to scroll it won't respond till I remove that skin that is making contact.

I'm pretty sure every phone is like that.
I believe it is the game/app software related. I don't think a lot of them are set up to recognize the larger 5.0"+ screens running resolutions over 720p. We are kinda treading new territory here. I have heard of a few games that don't display correctly on our phones so I don't doubt controls/multi-touch could need some tweaking as well.
I may be wrong but that is my opinion.

Are you becoming part of the "Now" generation that I saw you complain about in another thread?
Games will begin working once app developers start updating for 1080p screens.

No, LOL.
But I have seen these things before, where developers catch up 6 months later. A lot of the games I want to play are Gameloft or EA, and they both are terrible at updating. Horn hasn't been updated since September.
In that case, I can come back in 6 months with a newer device and will be content.
I am definitely patient, and can live with the Gnex a bit longer if I decide to go that route.
Thanks for the replies. I did try turning off HTC gestures last night with no success. I'll have to figure out a way to post a video of it. Basically, in the multitouch test app, If i hold the phone in landscape, as if I'm playing a game, then place both thumbs in the lower corners, it registers fine. However, if I slowly move my left thumb up and down then repeatedly tap the right corner(an action commonly performed in 3D action games) it trips it up and starts reversing the thumb inputs and occasionally introducing a third input even though I only have two fingers on screen. I can't believe that it's just an issue with software, or I'd assume reviews would have pointed to it. It makes games basically unplayable. And I've seen video online of people playing those types of games on the phone without the issue. A video would help. I'll try to figure something out.
Its been like that for some time the phones capability is more than the multi tasking allows I got 7 apps at once any load after that it won't show in recent. Though its slightly better with the app refresh upon switch its much better than my previous HTC the EVO LTE . Still when we got aosp based roms it was much better but with no limit or more on that device it slowed a lot but two gigs in this is great.

So I've "solved" the issue. I actually swapped it out for another phone and then it worked fine and I was happy. Then I re installed holo locker from the play store and started having the same issue. So holo locker WILL break the multi touch capabilities of the DNA. I just e-mailed the dev and hopefully get a response. So again, for anyone using the phone, DO NOT INSTALL HOLO LOCKER. At least not until it's updated.

hey guys this thread is all about bugs you ever expirienced on sony tablet S1
guys i request all of you to share ur expiriences with this buggy tablet........all the screen shots are below
isuues i had the past week are>>
1)flickering
2)the bottom touch bar dissapears(the one with touch buttons dissapeared)
3)camera failed(last screen shot)
4)sleep of death(no screen shot)

this issue occurs frequently for me when the brighness is set to full...

if tablet freezes sometimes the os restarts without actualy restarting the camera driver causing issues with camera, i asume it works after a reboot which further proofs my point.
just report their freezing issues shutdowns don't really matter their related to each other.

Well it defiantly was't known at sony, heck why they made thread their the xperia tablet s also have these issues all related to sony poor memory management probably that will be fixed in jelly bean for xperia tablet s.

I'm glad more people reporting issues now.
now i understand shutdown issue on tablet s1 little better to now older android visions it would freeze like sleep of death.
guess since last update they also implented time out function in tablet s1 i guess because they consider it less anoying and normal........
well guess its time for them to stop slacking and stop doing work around fixes and fix the actual problem.
On my xts i have:
1. screen flickering mostly while reading pdfs or browsing
2. have expirienced shutdowns while browsing 4-5 times total
3. youtube playback buggy as hell
i think 1 and 3 are ics 4.0.3 bugs and should be fixed with jb(if that comes out in the near century)
I'm done with sony i think.

Seriously don't wanna life on a world where 2 big brands have upset me and keep acting corrupt.
Sony eitherway has to apoligy for issues and compensate everyone make this known on any tech site xda xperia blog etc tweakers.net
i won't trust sony again otherwise......... they should have done this already.

last 3 years if been thru lot presure, my childhood was awfull, never got any help anywhere.
I'm not the kind off guy that suicide over just a tablet, but when i see nothing but corrupt world everywhere, i can only feel sad and depressed and verry angry........
Don't wanna life that way, if seen nothing positive happening so far, sony is the ultimate proof that its only about making money.
and that every big company is a evil company.
They contribute nothing to decent well payed jobs for people like me, for that i hate them.
I think we all become way to tolerant in this world that big company's like sony or samsung keep crossing the red line, if been thinking for long time now its time to put that line back few miles back again.
spoke to peterT on skype
the tablet s1 issue has been re produced by the devs, peterT him self has't been able to re produce it.
peterT is't respondsible for android at all btw, but he has meeting with the devs pushing devs to even release jelly bean for tablet s1 and roll out updates much faster, trying to proof that we customers have issues more often then they find them.
he's bassicly just community manager doing what he's supose to be doing.
Anyway i don't really have any news for now, if their is news he'll will defiantly post about it.
It would help btw if you guy's gave this a try
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...S54dHJhbG9naWMuYW5kcm9pZC5sb2djb2xsZWN0b3IiXQ..
And send logs over to [email protected] and include what tablet you own the tablet s1 or xperia tablet s
i'll check the logs then for any specific errors see if their pattern in these logs i am asuming they all have the same errors.
if set this mail acount up just for logs btw if you wanna add me on skype you can send me a pm with skype details and i'll add.
just trying to understand issue.
another test can consider doing is not playing video's at all for least 2 day's see if you still have shutdowns and freezes.
I observed on my s1 gen tablet issues:
1) screen flickering - light blue area blinks when useing high resources consuming apps ( video, search, antutu, virus scan app etc) blink takes about 0.5-1s its hardly noticed but it appears.It creates right triangle like figure with right angle at the lower right corner (system overlay bug? miniapp bug, graphic ? demuxer?)
2) sony movies app didnt rotate , problems with watching streaming videos from internet ( for about some time playing video slowing down -> app stops the message appears 'you can not play the video' .I have it after r5,r5a update
3)stock browser self shutting down ( usually when open 4-5 cards with sites includes java objects, banners , graphic etc) when opening again all these sites loading again, even if I turn off tablet. ( browser must have assigned own ram from system and remembers it - overload it may result shutting down) I suggest include rule to clean ram when app closes.Also with dev option bacground process limit max 4 processes on
4) sometimes standard (stock) keyboard self minimalises during posting on eg xda forum, sony community forum. to continue I must click on area again to show keyboard again.
5) sleep of death after r5,r5a . Reproduction for it: reading ebook with sony reader app or adobe. Tablet is chargeing (in dev option : debug , stay awake , allow mock - all turned off) display (sleep after 30min) , wifi turned on .
No other app on background except readers .Next leave tablet for about 45min.
After 30 min screen turnes off - the problem is the power button doesn't wake tablet. Need push restart button or about 10s power button to start the system again
6) loss wifi signal, disconnects in vary routers. Long time waiting to connect to network after sleep mode
7) camera app sometimes force closes - stops responding after taking a picture, the picture or movie doesnt appear on low area plate-like. Need clear camera app data to fix it. But this problem is in future again and again.
9) I dont know if its is issue but I demanding exFat support on sony tablet s, video and music unlimitted on more countries
thats all I think about. If it will be fixed I will be full satisfied
Got call from chris mcdonalds, this issue has just gotten high priority to be fixed asap, he told me to be patient because this issue is known and is taking bit longer to be fixed.
Anyway if their is news i'm first one to known will receive this news within 2-3 business day's
I experienced all the issues and much more, the status bar disappearance issue is due to the System UI trying to render but there is other stuff forcing itself in while the device is trying to stop malfunctioning but the tegra chipset is not helping at all meaning that it is too much for the graphics, I do have a screenshot of the log somewhere.
That issue occurs when while your in the application draw in ultimate lag, opening the notification shade will only hide the status from the bar and not show it in slowness causing too much so the Android System attempted to try to do something about it but the issues where so bad that the "2 force closes detected must stop application to gain stability" feature in the Android System cannot do anything about it since the "application" keeps opening since it is an important part of the Android System so the Android System opens the application but there is too much code and bugs going in the same time that there is too much conflicts causing it to force close constantly and sometimes the launcher can join in with the conflicting killing the wallpaper and flashing the application draw switch and guest mode switch, sometimes it really goes so bad that it crashes in a loop to the boot animation onto the system with the system ui force closing constantly, lagging causing the system to crash the system server (yes that is how it ends up in the boot animation) going into the same loop and to brake the loop you need to power the device down.

Hello, today, I bought a new Moto Z and updated it to the latest version(NPL25.86-30). Before updating however, I tried out some of the apps I often use and while testing a game I very often play(Love Live! School Idol Festival) I get the problem of stuttering sound. Any time I click on anything in the menu it stutters or crackles a bit, it's very annoying and hard to ignore/miss. This also occurs when playing the game, where you click very rapidly, making the stuttering/crackling sound even more apparent and unbearable.
Have anyone else heard of an issue like this and maybe knows the cause(Yes, I have searched around but haven't found anything properly similar, maybe I suck at searching)? Is it hardware related and a replacement phone might be to consider? I have yet to do any rooting or other warranty-breaking modifications.
Maybe someone else who got a Moto Z could download this specific app and see what happens for you(Be aware it might take a while to download, the app itself is 80~MB and then it will download some more, idk how much but it took like 10 mins for me).
None of my older phones(those being a Note 1 and Note 4) had issues like this(And before you ask me to just play on them, one is too old and slow and the other's internal memory have failed).
Thanks in advance, Nukezone.
Judging from the reviews of the app, I would suppose that it's a bug in the game (one of a long list) and not your device. Does your Z make this sound in any other application @Nukezone?

I have tried to replicate the issue in other apps but it doesn't occur anywhere else. So I also suspect it to be app related, but at the same time it's a bit strange that this is the only phone this app have bugged on(for me at least). I'll go to a store today that got the phone on display and try to install it there and see if the error still occurs, if it does, I'll leave it at that, I love the Moto Z otherwise so I really dont want to have to return it. @squallz506
Well none of your other phones had Android 7.0. I'd install it but it's a whopping 600mb add on file.
My Note 4 does have Android 7.1. Not stock, naturally. It's internal memory is more or less broken, it works sometimes and sometimes i get mmc_read failed. Either way, it worked enough to try and start the app in question and test the issue and it does not occur on the Note 4 with Android 7(.1).
I guess I'll just live with it. Maybe a future update of either the OS or app fixes it.
Thanks for your suggestions at least. ^-^

Android 7.0 is not Android 7.1
Of course! Take care!

My device is xiaomi Mi6 with android 7.1.1. It seems like the OS is too new for the game! I have the exact same problem: the more perfects(tap on the note) per minute the more the sound laggs. Newer game (bandori) has no problem than this SIF 2013 game.
Did you find anything? Let me know please.
