When you reboot or start your V10 do you get the "Android is starting" pop up with the little spinning circle?
On our other devices we only see this after a system update or something along those lines.
Just thought this was strange.

Now this is weird; I've just posted a thread with a similar issue, but it's more about the booting itself taking forever.
Yes, I do see this every single time it boots.

Ok, Just looked at your post.
My phone is bone stock and not rooted at all. I don't think the "Android is starting" thing should run every time I start up the phone.

I was on a 5 hour flight earlier today, and while I was on the flight I got bored with my nook so I started trying to figure out the different settings that anycut can create shortcuts to..... Beware don't do it. 2 of them did nothing because of an error, and the last one I did said "you do not have permission" then my nook rebooted and erased most everything...
Except, the hacker keyboard was there, the search button said it was not installed, and I couldn't use the unroot.apk because I no longer had superuser access.
Doing the 8 failed boot attempts got me back to square 1, and I also figured out how to bypass the out of box experience. I didn't have wifi and it also bypassed my registering my nook.
FYI: to bypass at the factory startup screen, hold volume up and tap the lower left then the lower right hand sides of the screen in that order... A button will show up that says factory, click it and then hold the volume up and tap the lower right hand side of the screen. Another box will appear then you can click "skip oobe".

This will probably halve your battery life (which should be 8hrs+ with wifi, 10 without).
what will halve my battery life? not registering?

I believe one person (at least) had this experience and the general belief is that not registering caused some B&N service to constantly run in the background. If you see otherwise, please let us know.
Is there an app that I can run to view to monitor this?

I thought we have successfully debloat all the bn svc, didn't we? It's kinda moot since the ota seems to not care if you have registered or not.
On another note, i noticed the owner and account name in my settings menu changed to "unavailable" after i debloat. Anyone has any ideas?

I was desperate on the flight because now I didn't have anything to play with.
When my device originally reset, the oobe was giving me errors because I had deleted the devicemanager.apk to hopefully stop updates. But doing so made it impossible for me to get past the registration screen because necessary files were missing.
Did a google search on my iPhone while on the plane to figure out how to get past the startup registration and wifi process

Well you can just time battery usage and watch it go down, but yeah there are various battery programs to track it (betterbatterystats etc). It's not "a little bit" - it's almost halved. Sure, go test it and report back. More data points are always useful
whenever i download something from the store or update an app but notification that the download has completed continues to reappear after being cleared. i can hit the x and clear everything or i can swipe off each notification - no matter what i do these notifications will continue to appear for days on end. the only way to get rid of these notifications is to clear app data. obviously, this isn't very convenient as i have to do it all the time if i want the notifications gone.
anyone else have similar problems or have any idea why this is occuring? i've owned a bunch of android devices and i've never seen this
not sure. Xing mines out always clear it.

yeah i'm completely stumped by this. also, if i download something from the notification bar i can't just click on that completed download and it will open. there is no way to open it unless i actually open the downloads app.
have you tried rebooting the device to see of it clears things up?

I would try a cold boot if a normal reboot doesn't work.
While prime is turned off, just hold volume down and the power button until white text appears. Then do nothing until it boots up. This will clear your cache and (hopefully) any problems.

I go into Settings > About Device > Software and click "Update" - and nothing happens. Nothing at all. No message saying "no update available", nothing.
It's a stock TAB 10.1, the only thing I did was root it. I haven't flashed any ROMs, themes or root-enabled apps.
I keep checking to see if ICS is ready for me yet - but I would at *least* expect that Update button to give me some sort of response (even if to say "nothing yet, nerd."), but it's as if nothing is happening.
Any ideas?

Yeah... That same thing will happen to 100% of all the Galaxy Tab 10.1 owners in all its variants around the world..
Hehehe the reason it's because there is no update yet xD.
Well unless you have a 10.1v Wich seems it started to be updated to ICS today

Excellent - thanks for the reply. I was hoping that was the deal, that there just wasn't an update. Sure would have been nifty for them to at least let me know that, instead of making me think the button/updater was broken with no feedback at all.
Thanks again. =)
Mine tells me "connecting to server" then tells me "no update available".

Great, now you ruin my happiness. Does anyone know the direct APK/app that's being called when this button is clicked? Maybe I could try and run it directly?
Are there some other settings I should have enabled? (WiFi is on, of course)
Maybe it's because it is rooted.

Multiple reboots, and nothing. The Aboute Device > Software Update -- then clicking Update produces no response. I wonder what I broke. :-/ Any idea on how to try and find out what's going on? Is there some sort of logcat I can look at?

ICS is rolling out within the next month, and is currently underway. That's why I've been checking - but I used to get "no update available" message - nowadays, nothing -- even watching the WiFi noti icon, it's not sending anything when I click it.
So almost every time I unlock my phone it gives me a message stating "Oops I have crashed. I have sent the report to my developers to get it fixed." But it doesn't tell me which app or program it is that has crashed. It is also happening randomly within applications but nothing is actually closing from what I can see. Anyone else have this issue or know what it could be? Next time I will try to grab a snapshot of it.

Yeah it should say "Oops <some app/service> has crashed." I've never seen an error message that says what you're suggesting.

I would provide more information if it were available. It was happening when I pushed the power button to wake the phone up. It was just a pop up on the screen that said it every time. I had never seen it before. Happened for a few days until my phone ran out of battery last night and I rebooted it this morning with no errors anymore.
It seemed unrelated to a specific app or service.
Often that error message is related to gapps crashing. Sure it wasn't gapps?
I have an issue that I cannot pinpoint the cause of figure out a solution to. Maybe someone here can help.
My Sprint G3 is always crashing and rebooting the launcher (phone doesn't turn off, just closes evwrything). I'd be in the middle of any app and it will randomly close every single app. The running apps page always displays after every crash. It's as if too much ram is being used, but it will happen even after a fresh phone restart and launching something simple like WhatsApp.
My phone is rooted via the Stump one click method. I don't have any type of rooted mods enabled, only Adfree. I use Nova launcher (paid & updated).
Is there some sort of event viewer that will log the activity of the phone so I probably someone here can see what might be causing the phone to crash? I'm tempted to Unroot and restore back to stock... But if I can avoid that, I'd greatly appreciate it.

If you're running ART that could cause that. Go back to dalvik and see if that cures it.

Maybe it's Adfree then. There's a special version that some people are using. It's in it forum somewhere. I'll see if I can find it.
In the meantime, uninstall it and see if it goes away.

Thanks. I've reverted my adfree hosts file and uninstalled it. But I think the issue persists. If I try to use any app that clears cache, specifically Clean Master, when it's doing the scan of apps it'll crash midway through the scan. If I go to system settings > Apps & wait for all the downloaded apps to load the details, it'll crash there too.
This is the oddest thing.
Edit:
This visual may help. It's a video of me running Clean Master & seeing how it just crashes. I can replicate this issue every time like this, but the crashes are random when using other apps.

Ok, so I began uninstalling some apps that I thought may have been the issue... Which they weren't as the crashing still continues. I decided to reboot under safe mode and the problem occurs there too.
I honestly cannot recall if this began before or after rooting with stump. I may have to Unroot & factory restore. =/

I'm at a loss... The 2 things I mentioned can be the culprits, but not for you I guess. Some other ideas?
Did you uninstall Stump after getting root?
Have you froze or uninstalled any system apps/ priv-apps?
It might even be Nova is having issues.
That's all I got.

Thank you for your help. Nova was one of the apps I removed. I did remove the stump app after rooting & did not freeze/remove any system critical apps/files. I'm also at a loss.
I would try a restore to stock as the final option. If that doesn't fix it then I dunno man.

Tried to unroot but the phone doesn't move past the "Firmware Update. Do not unplug the phone..." screen after holding Volume Up & plugging into the computer. I installed the drivers before hand. But the "CDC Serial" doesn't update. I attempted to manually update the driver by browsing for the folder, but no go.
I may end up having to go to Sprint and exchange the phone for another one.

TL;DR version = Yes, I did fix it. Factory restore did the trick.
A few days after my last post the phone wasn't as bad as the video. It would still crash and reset but mainly after heavy app usage or when trying to clear app cache using any app like Clean Master.
Once my storage reached about 40% used and I couldn't clear the cache, I began to get constant Play Store error messages. No apps would update. I think it was error 483 or something close to hat number.
Since I couldn't flash back to stock because the drivers wouldn't install, I gave up and tried a factory reset. I nearly sh-t myself bc once I confirmed the restore, the phone didn't want to automatically reset per the instructions. I pressed the button multiple times and nothing. I pulled the battery and when I turned it back on, I got the initial screen with the "powered by android" and then black. It did not wanna do anything. Pulled battery again, same outcome. It left it for maybe 10min and still nothing.
I was ready to go back to sprint and see if I could exchange the phone. While researching the closest store, the phone beeped and the initial android setup screen appeared. This was about 25min of waiting on a black screen.
The phone is now back to working order and it's still rooted. There must have been a corrupt file that was erased/restored once the g3 decided to behave.

Congrats!
My G3 is crashing in the similar manner as the video you uploaded.
Except that it only happens when I'm in office connected to office wifi with almost no cellular reception.
On top of that, as far as I could tell... only two apps are causing the launcher to crash... the game Clash of Clans and LINE.
Very very strange....
