I bought this tablet specifically to read books using Google Play Books. Unfortunately this isn't possible because it freezes constantly, for 30 seconds to a minute at a time. I either have to wait it out or reboot the tablet.
Has anyone else experienced this and/or found a solution to fix it? Dell is no help, as usual.
Thanks.
I think I found the solution. I removed my SD card and the freezing stopped. I'm going to play around and see if different formatting or other SD cards work.

Hey guys I rooted my Atrix about a month ago using gingerbreak and I finally got a new Bluetooth for it but when I try to turn on the Bluetooth on the phone it attempts to then dose nothing. I have tried restarting the phone and it didn't work. I don't know what else I can do besides factory restoring it, and if I can avoid that I would like to. Any ideas besides that?
Thanks,
Adam
No one has any ideas?
I have the same issue on two different phones. A soft reboot usually gets it working again, until I toggle it off. Then it won't turn on til next reboot.
I have the same exact problem.... tried a lot of things, but none succedd

I tried battery pulling it and that didn't work either sadly.
Okay, Maybe this info helps. I believe its has something to do with a specific program being moved to the SD Card or sd card mounting.
I just had this happen. Bluetooth would not turn on at all. I decided to play Chuzzle and when my battery went low, I plugged the phone into my comp USB port. It disconnected the SD card in lieu of mass storage. Killed my game because it resides on SD Card. At this point, I decided to test bluetooth and it worked!! Don't have time to test it further but. I suspect something residing on the SD card maybe the culprit. Unfortunately, I have over 30 things on it so segmenting out is going to be a pain.
Do you all have programs on the SD card?
Yeah, i moved 111 apps using apps 2 sd... cant tell which one is related to bluetooth...

I was having the same trouble and noticed that plugging in USB in storage mode would "fix" my bluetooth... I used Optimize Toolbox too clear all my cache and remove old SMS messages (after a backup) and bluetooth seems to be working again
*Edit* this didn't seem to last after I moved a few apps back to the SD card... I'm giong to keep messing with this...
after much pissing around with moving apps back and forth the internal SD card no longer mounts when i plug into my PC... interesting... I'll continue to report any progress I make
I've removed the physical SD Card and determined the problem lay in the internal SD Card...
ok after some seemingly "random" application moves from SD to phone I have this "working". I think it's a possibly corrupt internal SD but I haven't gotten any of the warnings that I see other people get where the phone explicitly says as much, however here is why I still suspect it:
as I was using Optimize Tool Box to move apps I noticed it was moving them rather slowly and taking a few extra seconds to re-load the app list, after one move (a Dolphin HD plugin full screen froyo incase that matters) I noticed the refresh seems snappier,
I went out to my home screen and hit a bluetooth widget and BT started working, I tried moving a couple different apps back and it stopped working.
Here is a full list of apps I moved OFF my SD in the event that it is still app related and a list of my apps might be handy to see who has common apps
Remote VNC Pro
My Tracks
Knots Guide
ConnectBot
Retro Defense
Best Apps
FBReader
Fullscreen for Froyo
Net Ping
AndFTP
Amazon Kindle
BlastMonkeys
KeePassDroid
Terminal Emulator
AndroZip
DailyComix
Dungeon Defenders
SilverEdit
Linux Commands
Handcent Emoji Plugin
Movie Free
My Backup Root
OSMonitor
Handcent SMS Skin(Metal)
SMS Backup+
Thinking Space
I hope this can help someone fix their phone or better yet get us a litter further towards an actual solution.
These are on my list. They should not be moved to SD:
Firefox
Brain Cube
Rugby
Anyway, the problem seems to be solved on 4.5.91. I've been moving apps all day and yet my bluetooth is still working.
I have had cm7 on my nook tablet for about 3 months and in the last couple days when rebooting my tablet it's not finding my 32g sd card.I thought it was my video player not finding my torrent files but when going to my file manager it's also not finding it, It only finds it when I remove my card then put it back in. And even then my video player says there are no files.... is there something I can do to fix this problem?
UPDATE: so I found a file in my file manager called .nomedia it was 0.00 mb I deleted that file and everything is working just fine, actually things seem to be working faster all around. Does anyone know what that file is? I use torrent on my NT could it have come from that?
There is good info at this link.

Thank you that explained everything. I appreciate your help.

Can't get sd card to load anymore. Nook Tablet 16gb
I have a SD card that has CM7, Team-B (from Ray Waldo), and it has been working perfectly fine, (with the occasional app shut downs that I experience on my phone leading me to believe it is the apps), for the last almost 4 months…..until last night. I have searched for hours for answers on this site as well as others, and nothing (forgive me if this is somewhere else or should be someone where else). Maybe someone can suggest something. I left my nook tablet running the Android/sd card side, and later when I touched the “n” it was on the Nook side. I turned it completely off and it loaded the xda green man, flashed black, then proceeded to load the nook side. I can’t seem to get it to load the Android side from the sd card again. After all the reading, I tried to load it while having my nook tablet 16gb plugged into the computer with the issued usb cord, it didn't work. I am not sure if the sd card is corrupted since I saw some files in it on the computer, and it was working just 20 mins before and I didn't remove it without having the device off. Did B&N automatically load an update to block Android cards? Thanks for assisting me with this.
So I just got my new touchpad for Carphone Warehouse and it was running fine until I noticed the name of 3 apps changed to "com.facebook" ect... I restarted the pad to see if that would fix the issue but instead, it removed ever single app that I had moved to the internal sd card. anyone know how to stop this madness?
By the way it comes pre-rooted.
Anyone?
Device:
ZTE Grand X (Bell Version) - Model Z933
Android 4.3
Kernel 3.4.0+
No root, stock everything.
I recently bought this ZTE Z933, and I've had some photos, videos, and music stored on the phone's storage for a while, and it worked fine.
Just in the past couple weeks, I put more videos, photos, and music onto an SD Card (4GB, FAT32) and put it into the phone, and now very often (almost daily) all of my picture browsing apps and music playing apps suddenly (and temporarily) are not able to detect ANY media on both the SD card and my phone's storage. But, if I browse my media through ASTRO or any other file manager, all the files are there and they work perfectly fine.
Rebooting the phone does nothing to fix this issue, and neither does accessing the storage through USB or unmounting and mounting the SD Card. For a while, the only fix I found was sometimes if I opened up one of my photos through ASTRO, and then closed it, about half the time it would temporarily fix the issue.
After a bit of searching, I found some threads on different sites about restarting the Media Scanner service (or something along that line) in Settings > Apps. I do not have this, but instead what I do have under Apps > Running > Cached, I have something called "Media", which, when I stop it and restart the phone, fixes the issue temporarily, but it works every time. The annoying thing about this is having to reboot, and losing all my ringtone and notification tone settings, and my playlists every time this happens.
Can anyone give me info on things to try? Or does anyone know of an app that will get me around this issue? (the phone has been reset pretty recently so I don't think that would solve it)
Any help would be very appreciated!
Hey how's it going? I to picked up one of these nice little phones and have yet to find anything as far as development on it, i.e root or any roms and ZTEusa has nothing on this phone. Every time I google it it shows another phone.
Its a great phone large screen and has quad core, if enough people post a wanted new thread on the request a thread forum we can get some help. There is a boot loader its just can anyone get root threw it. Also someone needs to try all of the towel root modstrings which are a lot and you might get it rooted. I really enjoy mine have had no problems with media, might be your sdcard is it an old one or a new one what class is it class10?
http://www.xda-developers.com/users-beware-zte-root-backdoor-found/
I just picked up this phone too.
Seems like root acess is simply password controled..
Maybe ztex1609523?
Anyone wanna jam that into an installer?
So whenever I put my sd card into my Xperia z3tc I can't open any apps apart from a few like settings and it often freezes and no buttons work, and if I boot with it in my tablet has a black screen with notification center usable and only a back button. FYI I'm using the SGP12 which is the 32gb WiFi model, no root and it only started happening since I updated to 5.0.2. PLEASE HELP
Perhaps the SD Card is bad?
I experience a similar issue (on KitKat) and it has to do with the media scanner (I have many MP3s on my SD card). Basically, before I reboot my device, I need to use a root app to delete my media library. If I do not do so, upon reboot, the phone is slow, nothing media-related works (including ringers and alert tones), and opening media-using apps or setting menus freezes the device (until I delete my media library, which gets reformulated next reboot). I tend to assume that maybe your SD card is triggering a media-rescan and that is causing your issue. Don't know if this is Android or Z3TC specific, but yes it is annoying.

The sd card should be fine it's a SanDisk and it only has a few pics on, this happened immediately after I updated to lollipop and then stopped and now it's happening again.

Images are still media. Try using the SD card without any images saved to it. Or try deleting your media library - to rule this out if nothing else. I use an app called Music Database Repair to delete my media library (although other features of the app don't seem to work).
