After the OTA update, my photon has generally been performing very well. I had the silent call/no audio issue before, but they seem to have gone away completely since the update. I only experience the "random" reboot issue when I am using music/audio applications such as Pandora and Google music.
Also, if I am listening to music using Pandora and I turn the phone from portrait to landscape (and vice versa), the audio pauses/stutters with each rotation. If I do this enough, I can usually get the phone to lock up and reboot eventually.
Has anyone else experienced similar issues?
I was having hanging issues with Pandora have you got the update That came out today it has been fine since I downloaded that

Are you talking about the MR5 update that came out earlier in the week? I have downloaded that and am still experiencing the issue
No there was a Pandora update that came out yesterday from the market also make sure your phone is set to automatic for the network settings and on high performance for battery settings or it can do weird stuff
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
I notice the phone stutters in pretty much everything I do outside of the music app. If I start messing with settings while it's playing it stutters over and over. I also notice that the music player and music widget don't play well with each other. I can be playing music in the app and on my homescreen the widget doesn't even show what I am playing and just sits blank. I am really starting to see some bugs with the software on this phone.

Thanks. The update seems to have fixed the stuttering issue for me. I'll see if I get any more lockups/freezes over the next few days
I spoke too soon. After about 10 minutes on pandora, the stuttering came back. I wonder if this is an android issue or a photon specific problem

Yea I see this stuttering too.. used to happen on my Evo OG when I was using bluetooth stereo headphones and came into a building where my wifi knew the password. After the first update on that phone it was fixed.
I notice if I disable wifi it fixes the stuttering issue on the photon as well... but on the photon it happens whenever my wifi finds something in range, even if the phone doesn't have a connection to the wifi. After a while it seems to stop, like the hardware requests more resources and settles it.. but it is still quite annoying.
You can also get root explorer and change it in the build.prop

Definitely considering trading my Photon in for the Epic 4G Touch when it comes out on the 19th. Not only do I get the reboots while streaming but I also get the stuttering as you have mentioned...doesn't matter what the signal level is. Sometimes Last FM and Pandora will not play at all on this phone.

I've noticed that the YouTube app on this device has some pretty bad lag so far. Like slightly worse even than my POS Samsung Moment. Scrolling while videos are playing cause really bad stutters and slowdowns. YouTube works fantastically in the browser but the standalone app seems lacking.

Same here. It's as though the Atrix isn't put in "speakerphone" mode. When I make an audio call and hold the phone to my ear and speak directly into the mic, my voice comes through clear. When I make a video call and hold the phone away from my face, my voice can't be hears at all.

Do you have an app that Auto- Kills apps running for a long time? If so add Skype to the exception list. these things can happen with like Skype, Facebook apps and such because they always run in the background in order for you to get notifications if someone is one or messages you or something.
Absolutely no problems for me.

I have no task killer
So, not that it's SUPER important. But I just got done dialing my system in my truck in. Put all the speakers in, sub, amps, head unit, etc etc. And I got a model with bluetooth. And I must say, it's legit. I can stream music via it from my phone, take calls and it'll mute the music so I can take the call. I recommend to anyone that drives and talks a lot to do this. It's not too much and it's very helpful and sounds decent too.
been doing that in my car for a couple years now... Love it. But for some reason my MoFo will drop the BT connection after playing music for about 20 mins. Well maybe drop the connection is the wrong thing to say, it is still connected, still get message notifications through the Headunit, but it stops streaming the music....

Is anyone else experiencing constant Bluetooth disconnects while streaming audio? This happenes to me every 15-20 minutes whether I am listening to music or an audio book. Its only become an issue again because I started to drive my car which has MS sync in it. This is driving me insane because the only way I can get it to reconnect is to cycle the Bluetooth radio on the phone... So here I am at highway speeds playing with my phone, the exact thing the Sync is supposed to prevent.
Thanks

So, for me, I can only play a partial song before it cuts out. Everything else seems to work fine.
I've called LG, and Verizon - they've never heard of the problem (big surprise ) . I'll get a hold of Google too but for now, let's try to figure this out.
My guess is a flaky Wifi connection. What is everyone else's opinion based on experience with the LG G2 and Chromecast, and what should we do?

Google's problem then. Netflix would use way more bandwidth streaming music. Chromecast in my opinion is still pretty beta, and new updates cone about once a month, so maybe they'll fix it.

I see your point, and you're not wrong but...
It works flawlessly on every other device I've used(sgs3, og incredible, iphone 4s, iphone 5,pc...etc.). This leads me to believe that something is screwy with the g2. Just looking for a meantime solution until this is worked out.
Edit-
Also, according to Verizon and LG this isn't a problem. So, maybe not even on their radar. Going to get to Google tonight but I'm guessing I'll get the same song and dance - "not our problem, call lg" or/ "not our problem, call Verizon".
