I like so many other have recently received my gTablet. I have done nothing so far except to charge it and start it to become acquinted with the interface.
When I powered on this morning the system seemed to hang at the gTablet logo. After about 1 minute I pressed the power on button to power off. The next time I restarted I had to go through the whole startup sequence again.
The only thing I noticed that changed is the background. Before it was leaves falling on water, now I have a ocean view.
Has anyone else experienced something similar?
Thanks
Yes, this happened to me too. I updated it, and after two or three startup/shutdowns I got the setup wizard. I did not get this when I started it up the first time.
I then found that I needed to re-install flash. The wallpaper can be changed back by long pressing the screen and selecting Wallpapers -> Live Wallpapers.

I tried to install the latest update for my acer tablet. My tablet is unrooted and it was doing fine with the android icon with spinning gears and a progress bar. Though it froze and stayed froze...i had no choice but to reset. Once I did though the system would come back up to the slide your finger to unlock screen, my same background was working but a vibrate would happen (before touching) and after that touching the screen wouldn't do anything or react so couldn't slide to unlock. After this, I tried the plus volume button + power+ moving the orientation switch on and off. This got my old background to go away so something happened but it never reset on its own as it was saying: clearing user data and clearing cache. After that i shut it off again and rebooted using the minus volume. It said it was going to revert back to some file. The friendly android robot with spinning gears occurred then shortly after the progress bar came up that friendly android was replaced with an android icon with a big yellow warning sign in it (exclamation point) as far as i can tell nothing happens afterwards. After a few more reboots and + trick i can get the system to boot (no drag finger to unlock) but the minute it gets to the home screen the "shutting down" dialog shows up with the "powering off" message. It never goes away, tablet never shuts down. This happened REPEATEDLY. I did contact acer tech support; and since the first time it didnt reboot on its own after clearing user data and user cache he said its a hardware defect and to return it. I do hesitate to believe that cause I have babied this thing. I wonder if its an odd software error?
Now if i just let the tablet boot up it will come to that home screen with that shutting down dialog. And sometimes i swear a message box pops u behind it I cannot click on it (i swear the dialog that pops up behind the powering off dialog is something about the apk installer). I cannot get to the privacy ->restore to factory defaults...cause everytime i make it to the settings screen and click okay or something the home screen comes back and everything else go s away...so can never click on anything in the settings without it fading away. Which means I cannot click privacy -> restore factory defaults. So now my acer just boots up and says shutting down right away and does nothing else. Its clear of the apps i had on it, but st still not coming up. Am I missing some other step to the process or is the acer device really going to be needed to send out? I think i did everything right but wondering if anyone else had the boot up and then see the shutting down/powering off dialog the whole time... it should be noted that it never actually does shut down.
Any ideas or help id love it!
I don't own a tablet, but here is a thread that you can check out. Hopefully it will help you out. Good luck!
This odd thing happened yesterday... I was using the latest ADW Launcher, I was pressing on my screen, suddenly one folder from another screen moved to the screen where my finger was on... The phone vibrated. Then I noticed that I can't drag the folder back to the previous screen, but after a while, I managed to drag it back to where its place was. After that, the phone started to be weird... It froze during start ups, after restarts and shut downs...
1. The live wallpaper that I set changes whenever I restart or turn off my smartphone. (Or is this just a common trait of the official ICS?)
2. I stated on the title that my phone freezes and somewhat reboots... What actually happens is, after the phone freezes for a few seconds (on start up), everything reloads - live wallpaper and widgets (they reload again even after they have been loaded on start up).
3. Suddenly, it seems like it heats up pretty quick.

Try to flash another ROM with ODIN. Found on N7000 forum here on XDA.
Hi All,
I've been coming here for a good while, reading articles, looking up help tips, and I gotta say, XDA is super helpful! I love reading about the new apps and seeing what people are making. But now, I'm running into a problem that I'm having trouble finding an exact duplicate or matching answer for. I've been looking through the boards and I see some things regarding somewhat what my phone just started doing, but it seems like everything is for custom roms or kernels. The difference between them and mine is that I'm on stock, nothing modded on my evo 4g lte at all.
This morning, I checked weather on my phone, loaded up some music and headed off to work. When I got to my office, I turned the volume down to vibrate only and plugged in the USB cable so it charges during the day while it buzzes from twitter updates or txt messages, etc. Anyway, about an hour or so ago, I turned on my phone and saw the lock screen, but it was different than what it normally is. Normally the lock screen has the weather on it but this time it had just the normal field wallpaper (one of the stock images). I pulled the ring from the bottom of the screen to unlock it and the phone immediately went to a black screen with the little box that says "Loading..." for about 2 seconds, then disappears. The buttons on the bottom (back, home, open apps) are unresponsive. I can, though, see the bar at the top with the time, signal, etc. and I can drag it down and see any kind of notifications in there. If I click the settings button, nothing happens, however the bottom phone button to show me open apps, it starts to work. I see little app cards for settings, but if I tap it, it zooms to the screen but it's still black.
After about 10 seconds, I see the "Loading..." box pop up, disappear, pop up, disappear, continually.
I called my phone from a land line and I could answer, but if I left the phone screen, it was just black. Eventually, an error came up that says "com.htc.bgp" has stopped unexpectedly. I hit don't send the error, it goes away, and I'm back to a blank (black) screen with "Loading..." continually popping up and disappearing.
Also, I can pull the task bar down and select the USB option and then select any of the other functions...HTC Sync Manager, Charge Only, Disk Drive, etc.
Every now and then, when I see "Loading..." pop up, I can see a stock HTC image (the orange colored fields picture) flash on screen just before it goes black.
I'm really stuck and don't know what to do. I'd love to try to save everything that's on here if possible (images/movies saved to internal storage). But if not possible, then oh well. I was able to find this link forum.radioshack.wdsserve.com/t5/Sprint-Discussion/How-do-I-hard-reset-an-HTC-EVO-4G-LTE/m-p/17981 on how to do a factory wipe, but is there any other options I could try first? Also, what do the other options under this section mean; like clear storage, is that like wiping a browser's history?
Thanks,
Sin.
Update: My EVO kept looping the "Loading..." message, even when I did a power-off by holding the power button for 10 seconds. I found out, though, that if I did the force shutdown (hold pwr for 10 secs roughly), keep holding until it buzzed at me, then when the phone turns on hold volume down and the EVO will boot into safe mode. It would have the "SAFE MODE" logo at the bottom corner of the screen, but it booted up without anything other than stock apps on the screen. I'd do that, let it sit for a while, go to sleep, wake it up, sleep, wake up, etc. It never went to that black screen that just said "loading..." Everything seemed ok, so I did a normal restart, let it load up, and all seems to be good now.
I was using live wallpapers before, but when i switched back into safe mode, I made sure that just a stock wallpaper was set. I think that may have been the problem, maybe one of the live wallpapers got corrupted? Who knows.
So if anyone's having trouble, try the safe mode trick, remove anything crazy, then reboot normally...do that before wiping out.
Hi folks,
i got a LG L3 II E430 and rooted it. It worked great for some days, but now it just turned off and wont turn on again. When i replace the battery and start, the home button lights in different colours, after a while it stops, the screen is on but black, the menu and back button react but there is no sign of a function.
When i hard reset it (battery out, then starting with home and Vol- button pressed), the same happens. After some times, the screen had a few thin vertical stripes and you could JUST guess that the LG-symbol is there when starting.
Before all that, i just hat titanium backup save Data and apps and installed Xposed framework and xprivacy. I had both (xposed and xprivacy) installed a couple of days before all that and had no problem.
Does anyone know what happend or even better has an idea what i could do to save the phone?
thanks in advance,
Simon
EDIT: After a couple of tries, the hard reset worked!
Hi again,
after i managed to hard reset the phone, i did not reinstall Xprivacy or Greenify. It worked for 3 days, but now the screen turned black again. Sometimes there were some very thin vertical lines in some places.
It seemed to work, because the menu and back button lighted up when i touched them. also i could shut down the phone when staying on the power on button for a long time.
After 3 restarts, this time the phone managed to wakeup again, just as normal.
Does anybody know what the problem might be, or if there is a way to check a failure log or something like that? To me, it looks like a hardware problem. In that case, i could send it back since i bought it a week ago..
I got Kingroot and Titanium Backup Pro installed, if that helps.
Thanks a lot, Simon
Firstly I wanted to clarify one thing that my phone worked okay after the update. I didn't realise it has updated until after a boot loop.
Just FYI The camera in my phone have been crashing randomly when taking pics and the pics weren't having the full resolution. It was 1280x720. This wasn't an issue for me and I ignored it for like 3-4 months.
So my redmi note 10 have had some random reboot issues lately which i didn't give much attention to. It wasn't frequent just rare random reboots. Few days back I noticed my phone rebooting while in use and it started to loop for a few times and when it loaded into lockscreen right after unlocking, the power button started to press automatically triggering the power option screen and then the emergency calls as well. It stopped after a few taps on the power button.
A day or two later it rebooted once again while the recorder was on and and this time it boot looped a few times and showed the lockscreen and crashed booting back once again. A few tries after that it booted up and I was able to use it for another day.
The very next day, it did the same. Started to boot and loop once again. But this time when the battery is sufficient enough or the phones cool and haven't been used for a while, it boots into lockscreen but freezes and crashes. At one occasion, it stayed just a few more seconds long enough to open the passcode screen but crashes before I could type anything. Then it loops once again and before even reaching the lockscreen, boots back into MI Android Powered screen right after the three dots blinking page. And randomly it boots into lockscreen as well. But once the battery is down or the phone is heated enough, it barely goes into lockscreen.
Booting into safe mode also shows the same. It sometimes boots into lockscreen but doesn't show the 'safe mode' text in the bottom.
Right now when I had kept my phone off for a while it booted into lockscreen twice and the screen dims immediately before freezing and crashing.
The third time it just went back to the MI Android powered logo right after the three dots blinking screen.
Guys please let me know do you think this is a hardware issue or a corrupt software update?
I know software update issue can cause bootloop but does it reach till the lockscreen? My phone consistently gets into the lockscreen when the battery is sufficient or the phones cool enough.
What last update did you perform?

MIUI 14 which i didn't even realise until I checked the settings app one day after a boot issue
What version do you have?
For me see screenshot, works fine!
Backup your data and clean flash with Mi Flash Tool, you can then exclude any software problem
This issue have been resolved.
The issue was the CPU couldn't handle the heat once the device turned on and would reboot right after reaching the lockscreen and loops.
Thank you for all your suggestions, though.
