running ics offical update
For some reason my phone keeps clicking..any ideas?
mainly when the screen is locked and the phones not being used, does it both when on charge and when not.
its not constantly clicking by the way just every now and then but often enough that i notice it :/
It's kind of like the sound you get when you lock or unlock the phone

I bought the Motorola RAZR 1 week ago, my first impression about this device was positive. I bought this device after HTC Desire. I haven't rooted my device, it's all stock.
Now, I have experienced some problems I want to know if these problems are normal or not, and if so should I ask for a mobile replacement.
First problem, is that while playing sprinkle I experience some lags. When I start the game sometimes the screen freeze for 2 or 4 seconds then the games goes back normal and then after a while (after I pass 2 - 3 levels) the lag shows up again. Also the water in sprinkle shows as dots, or drops of water.
Second problem, while I'm charging the mobile and typing sometimes it chooses random letters I didn't touch. So, in general I have touch problems while charging the phone. It doesn't happen always but like while typing every 4 or 5 words it might screw up. But when the mobile is disconnected from the charger it works flawlessly.
So, are these problems normal or I should head back and ask for a replacement?
As for the charging issue I'm having the same thing. It started for me after vzw sent out the. 748 update. So I'm guessing that there connected.

I am using unlocked version, I didn't install any updates.
I don't know if it was already updated or not.
Try installing a different keyboard like Swiftkey X and see if the random letter problem goes away. I have not seen this problem on my RAZR.
It's not just with the keyboard. Sometimes it also happens when I click on an icon a different program starts. It doesn't happen that often, but it happens.
Have you experienced lag while trying sprinkle?
Are you using the default charging cable or another brand cable?

I'm using a vzw 9 foot charger. The eco green one. I wouldn't think a charger would cause it, but I'm a noob.

I know on my Motorola Droid, if I wasn't using the stock cable the touchscreen would be unusable when the device was plugged in. It would register touches in the wrong places and type by itself.

What about the lags I have while gaming?

I got the same problem. Actually the touch-screen is kind of unusable if power is plugged in. Typing is very slow and often false. When I use swype, you can see that the touch input does not produce smooth lines as usual. Also hitting the right icon on the dash screen is hard as well, so it's not a problem with the keyboard. I experienced that problem with ICS and still have it with JB.
Any Ideas? It's funny that some people have that problem but obviously not all.
btw I use a german telekom branded razr.
I experienced touch screen issues once - at that time I was charging the phone, whatever I was typing, it was all wrong. When removed from charger, touch screen was responding perfect. Possibly it was some voltage issue, now everything is fine as I am using different charging point.

try installing a custom rom which cleans boat or other services and is just a light rom. alot of applications and alot of bloat does slow down the phone. i know what your saying and it happens alot especially when the phone becomes heavy. you should carry apps you use most frequently and i noticed widgets alot of them also give me lag on this phone so i avoid using them except calendar which i use frequently. also try a custom rom it will help something light like CM 10 or liquid smooth
Has anyone had an issue with the screen locking once your call begins to connect? This happens even if I don't put the phone to my ear enabling the proximity sensor. Once call is over it stays locked and I have to hit the power button to turn phone back on.
Running CleanROM DE 1.4.
New phone but haven't had this issue with old one. I think it's an app causing it because it didn't do it on a clean flash.
HELP WOULD BE GREAT!

I would like to use this but have a feeling this technology is too new and hurts the battery more than the old fashion way of setting the screen off after a minute.
does anyone know if it is in fact a battery killer? Hope not
How do you even activate it?
I've never seen it working in my phone.

I wish I could tell you I have had the phone for a day now with that feature enabled and have only seen the eye pop up in the status bar twice. It doesn't really work good for me at all.

Go to Setting>Display>check Smart Stay in menu
It only checks for your face just before it turns the screen off, as opposed to all the time. I've been using it for a week and it hasn't really had any effect on battery life
In good lighting smart stay works for me.
It isn't perfect, but it is nice to have as opposed to the german version of s voice.
No noticeable difference in battery life for me. I have found it doesn't work very well in low light conditions and it won't work at all when using most downloaded applIcations.
Doesnt kill baytter as it doesnt use the front camera for actual photo,just for face recognition and that too when the original time out of the screen is reached.After that it checks every 5 second or so and isnt continuously using battery.Instead it saves u the irritation of powering up the screen everytym :-D

I just discovered this feature and it seems to work great. But seeing that eye pop up on the screen every few seconds is distracting to me. Turned smart stay off.
Anyone know what causes this any way to fix it for good

I thought it was related to root but I've had these hot reboots even before rooting so it's not just root. Most likely an app.
Same problem here

Will take a while to hunt down the app but anybody else have 'LinkedIn' app installed? It just hot rebooted while launching that app from a fresh restart - quickest hot reboot I've ever seen.
It might not be that app but then I went to the Play Store page and there are tons of 1 star reviews because the last update failed on people's phones - more interestingly the most recent comment is from a GS2 user who says latest update reboots his phone.
I've uninstalled it and I doubt I can be that lucky that it's that app and I find it so quickly but crossing my fingers.
Mine rebooted after I opened the Navigation app.

Mine happened again. I've now uninstalled BetterBatteryStats. I'm going to start uninstalling stuff that uses root to roll that out. I've had these issues on stock but it happened rarely, lately it's been happening very frequently so something is going on.

I've had the same on mine. I rooted mine day 1, so no idea if it would have done it without root. I've defrosted everything in TB and still no luck.

Well I'm tired of the random hot reboots! Some people say it happened to them before rooting, but I don't believe it happened to me until I rooted and installed CWM touch......so I'm going back to stock to start all over again so I can try to narrow down the issue. I'll report back on my progress as it becomes available.

Happening often to me. The search continues. I've now uninstalled adfree. I'm positive this is an app since I had it occur on stock after two weeks of using the phone and installing crap.

I had the same problem on my previous Captivate and am having it now on the GS III; no rhyme or reason to the reboots that I can see.
I still have heat problem but I played w/ different settings to see what it is.... I had att s3 which got really really hot... So returned it for Verizon s3. Verizon is better but learned that the data (lte/s3) makes it really hot and battery drain. Also the screen, of course.
If you're rooted then go get Phone info and disable lte. I tried CDMA auto for Verizon and it got much better... But at lowered download speed. I change it when I speed the speed... Doesn't require reboot so it's easy to change.
U can also under clock using setCPU.
I don't need it to be fast normally except when playing games... So just have it at 384min and 1024max... I find this helps allot w/ heat as well... U can try and find your setting that's acceptable speed and heat.
Just sharing my experience here.... So good luck.

Happens here too with the T-Mobile GS3. I think they rushed their fabrication process to deliver a high volume and fubared a few hardwarewise. I've even had it lockup/freeze once when not even in the OS but just in the recovery menu's. But yeah, the usual is a totally random unpredictable hot reboot throwing out my resident programs, homescreen, ect. Starts with the screen being frozen and not accepting input, then a short vibration, then back to homescreen reloading and all regular apps and widges that are supposed to run at boot load again. It's as if there's a micro static short or something. Anyway, I'm sick of problem solving and looking through logcats. Going back in for warranty. This is a dream phone except for this ultra annoying bug that it seems not many people have.

Happened to me once or twice (that I noticed) in the two weeks before I rooted (stock UCALEM), and a few more times after. It's just TouchPiz being pizzy. Maybe someone can catch the logcat, but there's nothing we can do about it (except install a better ROM )
How would anyone be able to diagnose this BS
"OK. My phone is hot. And it randomly reboots".
"Crap - u r out of luck buddy. Go change ur damn phone".
Provide ur phone model, ROM version, apps installed. Check ur battery stats.
As a solution - flash any custom ROM which removes bloatware.
I apologize in advance if this question is in the wrong place.
I am on Deck's 11-24 build from IRC and hoping that it fixes the problem I've been having.
Sometimes my phone will go crazy and the screen will start reacting as though some phantom is using it. The screens pan around, random apps will open, random buttons will be pressed, etc. Usually, I have to shut the scree off and wait a few seconds for it to go back to normal. If it isn't that happening, sometimes the screen becomes completely unresponsive.
Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing similar issues.
I am S-ON
Have been dirty flashing
Wasn't flashing the kernel of each new nightly
Have flashed (using Flash Image GUI) the kernel for TD 11-24 build
Yeah I have expierenced that myself and I'm on mean Rom 6.4

Dingdingding. Already got one replaced a few months ago but this one is showing symptoms now too. Easy way to know it is happening is to enable show touches in developer options.
