Since I've had my note 2 for about 2 weeks now, when I'm connected to WIFI (b/g/n at both work and home) at random times when I start You Tube I will get a really long load time (Circle chasing itself) the video will play eventually then at random times it will stop and try to buffer. This happens in either landscape or portrait mode. When I turn off WIFI and use LTE I have no problems. I've stopped the You Tube application and relaunched it same problem. I've paused and it wont buffer. I've started and then stopped and launched it again. It normally takes a good 2-3 times of starting and stopping before I'm able to watch something off my feed. Then at any point after that the problem might pop up again.
I've used my old phone a My touch 4g and 2 IPhone 4s and neither of them have the problem.
I thought the problem might be something strange in the stock rom. So I rooted and installed CleanRom ACE 4.0.5. Problem still occurring. I tried WIFI Fix and checked the status of the the router/restarted etc.. WIFI settings are: Keep WIFI on during sleep: Always
Not sure if maybe I got a bad phone or what.. any one have any idea's?

I'm having some strange 3g hiccups lately. I'll elaborate.
sometimes while browsing etc the phone will hang on 3g connections (eg does not even resolve DNS). the data connection icon keeps cycling the 3g and H symbols; at each new symbol switch the upload and download arrows seem to 'do something' for some instants then they fail and start the cycle all over again. I don't even seem to find a way to resolve the issue as putting the phone in airplane mode for some time does not help, and neither disabling 3g networks for a couple minutes. I also tried a reboot which did not help. The only working solution seems to be patiently wait till it works again.
I would not swear on this but I think this issue started when I flashed stock 360. I am however 100% sure that this was not happening, say, a couple months ago.
I am not even sure there is a problem with the phone, there might as well be some problems with the carrier.
anyone experienced anything similar?

Two big problems with my EVO 3D that are driving me crazy:
1. I have been having this streaming video issue for a few months now. No matter what streaming video service I use (although mostly YouTube or the G4TV app) the video will start to massively lag eventually. The timing is always different, sometimes its a minute in, sometimes its 10 minutes in, but it WILL eventually start to lag. The sound is still playing, but the video stutters or flat-out stops. And it turns out its not just the video, my ENTIRE PHONE lags when this happens, so much that the hardware buttons and touchscreen don't respond until about 30 seconds to a minute later. This only appears to happen when streaming video, already-downloaded video plays just fine off of the SD card. Half of the time Sense appears to crash when this happens too, since I see it restarting after I exit the streaming app. My cousin has an EVO 3D as well and this isn't happening to him, nor have I see anyone mention about this on Google ) the instances of lag I found were buffering issues. I don't have any idea where to begin finding out what is causing this, does anyone have any hints?
2. My G-Mail app stopped working. And I don't mean it stopped syncing like it has for others before, I mean it dosen't work anymore period. I can still launch the app, my accounts are still there, but NO new mail since Janurary 12 has shown up, manually choosing refresh does nothing. I tried rebooting my phone, and even clearing the Gmail app's data.... all it does now is say "Your email will appear shortly" ... its been saying this for about three days now. I can't even use G-Mail on my phone anymore! Help?

Are you rooted? If so, are you on a custom ROM? If yes, which one? On average a simple wipe fixes the problems you talking about. I can't say much about the streaming issue since I've never experienced it, but for the Gmail issue, go into Settings>Applications>Manage applications and find Gmail, then "Clear data". Once you set it up again the problem should go away (at least that's my experience).

Nope, stock rom.

As I said, I already tried that, didn't work.
So this has been happening to me for a while now on multiple firmwares, but I just today started to realize how widespread the problem is/might be. The simplest example of what happens is that my games will randomly pause while I'm playing them. I don't mean freeze up--the game will lag for a sec, then it will actually be paused as if I hit the notification bar or something. Splashtop THD is also giving me problems. At first I thought it was the app, but others have been saying they don't get frequently dropped connections. For some reason my connection drops every few minutes even with great reception. Lastly, my wifi will randomly disconnect. I have great reception and speeds, but sometimes it will just stop working and I have to turn wifi off and back on again. I really feel like all 3 of these quirks are related, and I would love for them to all GO AWAY.
Anyone else having a similar experience?
try a reboot to see if it clears things up.
RYAN used REBOOT! TRANSFORMER PRIME is unaffected!
Have you forced GPU usage in developer options?
Not yet, will try tomorrow and let you know how it goes.
EDIT: did a few games of Fruit Ninja and it seems to be fixed, but I'm anxious to see if it takes care of my problem with splashtop. Thanks for the tip!
Don't know whether this is related or a separate problem, but I've been having weird behaviour with Android Market. If I click on an update notification to jump to the Market it will sometimes drop me back to home after a few seconds, often closing both Market and the last app I was in at the same time, they both disappear from the task list too. It goes the other way sometimes with Market randomly popping open without warning.

I have the same issue, though it mostly happens with the stock browser and Pulse.
After playing around with the force rendering setting for a while, I think the problem still persists but is much less frequent. I'll be so happy if nVidia ever gets their freaking kernel/drivers to work right -.-
This issue started before rooting the phone. I noticed it while I was away this weekend. I was at a friends place and he lives in an area with no cell coverage, so I switched to Airplane Mode and then turned on WiFi. After a few hours, I noticed that I was getting no notifications from Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp, etc. I rebooted the phone... all was well.
Last night, same exact thing happened at home, but before I rebooted the phone, all the notifications started working again. Is this related to the WiFi issues I have been hearing about with this phone? It showed that it was connected the whole time. I have a Linksys E3200 at home... I am unsure what my friend had at his place. This happens with the screen on and when off... so it is not that.
Also after my trip this weekend, my location was not updating correctly with GPS off (and the other two options still on). When it was off, my phone thought I was still in Peoria, IL (I live in Chicago). I would turn GPS on... updated me to Chicago fine (even without a GPS lock). Turn GPS back off.. it threw me back into Peoria. What gives? Again a reboot solved the issue.. but sheesh.
Again, I am just rooted at this point. Still on stock. I am hoping I can find a ROM that will fix these issues.
Really? I am the only person having this issue?
Got the Reno 2 this week to try as ive never had an oppo phone before.
The only issue i have is when browsing on wifi every now and then it will stop loading any internet pages. Its looking like it starts to try to load a page then stops and the only way i get it working again is to toggle wifi off and on then pages load fine again until the next time. Its not my internet or router as every other device i have connected never has an issue.
Anyone know of wifi issues with this phone? Its still on Android 9 as no update os showing yet. I'd rather not send it back for a refund but i cant live with this issue so id rather find a fix.
