Push notifications stopped/intermittent and random hangs - LG G5 Questions & Answers

In the last day or so many push notifications have stopped working or only randomly work. Also a couple days ago i had to clear play store as i couldn't install a few apps. I am on Ls992 zv4, holding off on updating joint for root. I will open gmail and sometimes be messages will pop in after a few seconds and sometimes i have to manly refresh and the messages will have a receive till of several hours ago. Sometimes i will get push notifications grim Facebook sometimes not. Another app I'm having problems with is Remind. I won't get push notifications but when i open it there is a new message there. Another issue i have it's the phone now randomly hangs and has locked up several times. I think the only time it has locked up was while using hangouts for video chat. Also since almost day one watching videos on YouTube or web browser videos will freeze while audio keeps going. If you pause the video it may play for 1 second or 30 before it does it again. And the phone can lock up for several second too when this happens. Its like the processor gets backed up and everything at once. Resetting the phone fixes the video and hanging issues for a short time but it will come back. Again i wasn't too concerned about the video issue at first going for root and costumer to fix the issue, but that looks doubtful now. Anyone else have any of these and a fix?

Push notifications stop working after some time.

I have a problem with my SGS2 : Push notifications (Gmail, chrome-to-phone...) work when I just started the phone, but then they stop working after a few minutes.
Then if I reboot it works fine again, and stops working 20 minutes later.
I'm running XWKE2, rooted, and I have frozen a bunch of samsung apps with Titanium backup. Does anyone have any idea where it might come from ?
Thanx !
OK, I'm now on XWKE7 rooted and I kept all the samsung apps but nothing changed, I still can't rely on push notifications at all (sometimes they work fine, most of the time not at all, and sometimes they arrive late).
Also, and I think it is linked, Gtalk doesn't really work either : It will show all my contacts as offline when they're obviously not, and sometimes when I send a message to a contact (s)he will suddenly appear as online, or my message never gets sent. Same for messages sent to me, sometimes they work and sometimes they get lost.
It happens on Wifi, 2G or 3G.
I'm going back to my Nexus One for now but it's hard... The screen seems really small now that I'm used to the SGS2 ^^
Still no solution... Any idea ?

[Q] Weird Texting Issue (Queued Texts?)

I am having a weird issue with my LTE involving texts. This morning I restarted my phone and then a little bit later I got a couple text from some friends asking what I was talking about. I went into Handcent and looked at my conversations and found one text, which I sent on 6/5 or 6/6, was either resent or just sent for the first time this morning following the restart of the phone.
I called one of the guys asking him about the message sent to him and he said he never received it when I originally sent it, even though my phone showed it sent successfully.
Has anyone experienced anything like this?
this happens to me too. the radios seem to be able to only do one thing, so if while you sending, it needs to reconnect, connect to wifi,3g, or if you get a text, chat, or phone call while the first action is going (sending a text in this case) it seems to just hang. the thing being sent won't finish but looks like hanging forever (I've found some texts like 2 days later still spinning) and whatever the other action was won't come through. I've been told about chats or texts or talks sent to me I never receive if sending something, or usually the thing will hang for like 5 minutes and then I see I voicemail icon pop up and, surprise surprise, it came 5 minutes prior when my txt was hanging(it still is hanging, hangs forever) or a website loading hangs or connecting to wifi that never finishes. something about how this thing handles multitasking is just rubbish.
I think it has something to do with the way switching back to browser reloads the page, switching back to gmail reloads the composing page, switching back to angry birds forgets your pause and restarts the game, basically,I think they borked the multitasking somehow. sense itself reloads, quite embarrassing when trying to show off the phone, when you press home button from certain apps.
I've read if you flash a custom rom, it fixes all this. seems drastic to me, you'd think a hack would fix this.

[Q] Atrix 4G randomly reboots. Time to root?

I've had this phone for more than a year and this behavior started a few weeks ago. Between 1 and 3 times per day my Atrix 4G will reboot itself. It doesn't seem to have a pattern; sometimes it's sitting in my pocket or on my desk, sometimes I'm browsing or using another app—suddenly I hear the boot sound and am like WTF. The only thing I can think of is it has to do with data because several of the crashes occurred when a webpage failed to load or Google Maps was hanging, but that could just be a symptom not a cause.
I did a factory reset and while I was downloading my apps and syncing contacts, it cycled, and the reboot pattern has not changed since (average once a day but as often as 3 times a day). So I'm considering rooting and putting CM7 on there, but last time I tried to root an Atrix 4G it bricked, so I'm a bit hesitant. I'm running 4.5.145.MB860 with Android 2.3.6. Any suggestions for a solution or stable ROM?
Better yet, any way to look at a crash log to see what might be triggering the reboot, an app or command or something?

Anyone else with texts not sending issues?

Seems like over the past week or two, I am routinely getting errors when sending texts. Sometimes it is an MMS, other times a text to a single recipient.
Sometimes it happens, other times not. Happens on Wifi, and when in data.
If I reboot, it usually fixes it, but only for a short while.
it happens with both the Samsung Messages app, as well as the Google app.
Any ideas that don't involve hard reset of the phone? No other issues, just texts...

Having the same issue here. It seems to have appeared with this last update and is now occuring about every other text (outgoing only). I have so far been able to "tap to retry" and it sends after that but the fact that its even happening at all makes me hate this phone even more.

I went back to the Samsung messaging app and it seemed more reliable, but I just installed the latest updates a week or so ago, and now the Google Messages app seems to be working properly again...
mine is doing the same thing. makes me want to throw it at a wall. circle just spins and i get a failed . resend works . i have have cleared the cache partition tried chomp and other texting programs including the samsung and they all fail. but not all the time very annoying when you think a message went out that important and half hour you look at your phone to see why they didnt respond and it failed. anyone have any ideas? thanks

Question Random reboot - any Pixel 6 (non pro) users affected?

Wazzup.
Over at the Pixel 6 Pro fair, we have quite the number of people having problems with random reboots. We are trying to narrow it in - Android12? Pixel 6? Software? Hardware?
So - anyone here with the same set of problems? Or does the Pixel 6 not have that kind of issue?
For reference: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/random-reboots.4353231/
I have gotten several random reboots as well. 256gb seafoam pixel 6. In particular, I was using "Frep" automation app (unrooted, used pc to start server) to do repetitive image searches in a game. Also the phone was sitting on a wireless charger while doing this. I noticed my phone felt pretty warm, wonder if it could be overheating?
Could be a naughty 3rd party app. Have you tried safe mode?
I posted this here:
P6 Bluetooth Problems
My p6 will see most some of my Bluetooth devices (laptop, tablet, TV, earbuds) . It pairs with the earbuds, but everything else it will try and pair, usually does not. If and when hen it does pair, that pairing is dropped dropped within 5 secs...
forum.xda-developers.com
My random reboots (or crashes that forced me to reboot) almost entirely stem from the wifi+bluetooth implementation. I found a sure-fire way to crash it during setup. Without word vomiting here, connecting the P6 with and to other devices has proved more difficult than any previous Pixel (for me).

Not yet. It's also hard to "force" it (the reboots, I am not able to replicate it manually). Yesterday it just randomly happened whilst the phone laid idle next to me, thrice at the morning, about one time through late afternoon, then one time evening. I just notice the screen lighting up, then the Google logo comes, meaning the phone restarted.
I'm also pretty sure that Bluetooth/Wifi settings differed when the reboots happened, ergo at some times bluetooth was on, then when it rebooted, bluetooth was off. At no time when the reboots happened had I a bluetooth device connected. WiFi was online though, all the time.
What all the reboots have in commong though (at least the ones where I am concerned), is that the phone is just laying next to me, or somewhere, being in idle - doing as far as I know, nothing. It never happened when I used the phone or put it under load, so my P6 never "crapped" out under me. That's why I am not that concerned about this as of now, but it's certainly a nuisance to unlock the phone every time with my darn pin.
(Concerning 3rd party app) - I'd say that's unlikely. I copied my files over from my Pixel 4 XL and have not yet added one singular other app to my P6 Pro, so it should have gone naughty before my transfer over.
Hi! I experienced a big crash on the pixel 6. When I was configuring telegram, the app crashed and then the screen got black. After a minute it rebooted to the Google logo with a loading bar underneath. It was blocked in that state, but I could reboot it with volume up + power button.
I was pretty scared as the usual button down + power button didn't do anything lol

Odd. I never had a problem whilst using the phone, my phone only rebooted when laying idle (even though today I had no reboots at all, alas I didn't use the phone much, maybe 2h SoT without any heavy lifting).
Something in android 12 is bugging around, maybe we have to open support tickets.

I just talked for a while with a Google rep and he said that they are not aware of any reboot problems, no people over at Google Forums have reported such a thing. "We do not monitor Reddit or XDA" - so he said he opened a support ticket to the responsible team and they would look into it, he also asked that I / we report/feedback this under -> Settings -> Tips & Support -> Feedback.
We also talked about a lens flare problem, that at least the Pixel 6 Pro has. If you shot some photos where the sun is directly shining into the camera, you might want to re-check them. Most of mine have either some sort of big circular green dot in them, or a big beam of light like in a phone with a very bad HDR processing. It seems to be some sort of software glitch, he also reported that.
So hopefully those things can get fixed.
This was the follow-up email:
Thank you for contacting Google support.
This email is regarding the chat conversation we had earlier today, I'm sorry we weren't able to complete it. Hence I wanted to follow up via email to ensure all your queries have been answered.
Please re-launch the camera app and check if the issue is fixed.
Please be assured our developer team is working on this to fix it as soon as possible. We would really appreciate your kind understanding as we work on this to fix it for you.
If there is anything apart from this that needs clarification, please feel free to reply back to this email. I'll be more than happy to assist you.
Thanks!

I'm having similar restarts while phone is sitting on a table doing nothing. Tried a factory reset and was fine until overnight on charge and it happened again.
Also have had a few times where wifi has stopped working for some reason. Not sure if related.
Not had any reboots but quiet a few app crashes in especially FB will be scrolling away and bang just closes also Amazon app ,
Well that was interesting.. When it rebooted that time, it gave me an error screen saying it could not load and may be corrupt. I had two options, try again and factory reset. Try again got me back running, but I'm wondering do I got as defective device now.. or if it's software related.
So after a lot of messing around, I think I have narrowed down what may be causing my reboots. It only seems to happen when I am using "Frep" to play macros on a game while charging my phone.. the phone gets pretty hot, and reboots when I tap the screen or try to swipe home or recent apps. Maybe its overheating, or maybe its "Frep" playing naughty.. but Frep did work perfectly fine on my old $200 used Nord N10 5g. Will update if it reboots while not doing this.
no reboots or crashes so far, not doing any gaming - but using phone for email, surfing, whatsapp etc and also a work profile for MS outlook and teams.
I have/had similar issues with my Pixel 6 (128GB - europe unlocked).
I was transferring old data via cable from my old (Xiaomi Mi A1) to the Pixel 6. This resulted in sluggish performance, crashes every 15 minutes. The crashes would randomly occur and behave mostly like this:
Try to unlock phone with fingerprint sensor
Fingerprint sensor lights up, nothing happens, no haptic response
Swiping up to the PIN entry. Enter PIN and hit enter. Nothing happens. Now freeze.
Screen turns black and it takes phone to reboot on average ~7minutes
Factory Reset; Installed apps manually (standard messaging apps, no games etc), better performance, problem persists
Factory reset; boot into safemode. It now took way longer to provoke the issue. But it still happened.
After this I contacted the customer service and they will provide me with a replacement. But now after a night of idle, the phone was working for 3-4 hours without any issue at all with most of my apps installed. It just now went into a random reboot (could only notice because it asked for PIN because of the reboot). But not the 8 minute blank black screen type of reboot.
I am really unsure what is the issue at hand here. But have to say that experience is less than ideal.
Mine just happened last night, not charging or running anything 3rd party apps (all from App Store). I tried to use the camera after eating dinner and noticed that double clicking power button doesn't open the camera anymore. After unlocking the phone it appears that the phone has restarted.
Is anyone running Private DNS on their system like Adguard DNS or NextDNS? I did some searching and people reported some private DNS were causing Android to crash. It was suppose to be fixed in previous Android versions but it could be back again.
I haven't noticed any random reboots (and the lock screen will require a pin to be entered after reboot and says this on the screen, so you should know the phone rebooted). I've had the P6 since the official release date. In fact, I haven't restarted the phone in days.
I run a wide variety of apps. Some from the Play store and some sideloaded. I think that any reboot issues are probably app related. Remember that A12 is very new and the are surely still some compatibility issues that app developers haven't found/fixed yet.
