I've been running my Redmi Note 2 with a custom rom from GlobeRom for a few months and it's been going great, the other day I switched off the phone to replace the battery and when I turned it back on it got stuck on a screen that I had never seen before, with a logo that said MR and "www[dot]multirom[dot]me" (I'm not supposed to post links; this site is down now apparently).
I tried to reboot a bunch of times and it always got stuck on the MR logo so in the end I had to use TWRP to do a factory reset. I did a complete wipe and installed another custom Globe Rom.
With the new rom it's giving me a lot of problems, apps will crash, sometimes it won't let me access the play store (says app not installed) and sometimes during rebooting it will still freeze at the MR logo. There are times when I feel the performance drop and there's some stuttering/frame drop.
What's going on with this phone? Where did this MR logo that I had never seen before come from? What can I do to make this phone usable again?
flash with miui 7 then use custom rom

Twice now in the last 40 minutes since updating to ICS my screen has locked up in a browser and in a game and then restarted itself..... anyone else?
UPDATE:
- Short and sweet so you don't have to read through 30 pages.
- If your Prime has this problem either
A.) Return to store for refund or exchange and pray you get a newer unit without the different hardware/firmware version
B.) Call ASUS RMA it and pray they can finally get something right.
C.) Sit on your hands while you wait to see if ASUS can somehow figure out a magical firmware patch that will play nice with both older and newer Primes..... all the while getting frustrated with a prime that can be used as a paper weight.
I recommend A I found a new prime from HHGregg and it works just fine and I am finally happy again but still pissed at ASUS for this huge quality control blunder.
update 1/31
here is exactly the reason you do not want to rma to Asus.

Everything has been running great for me. Maybe try rebooting Prime for a fresh start up. might fix it. mine hasn't locked up or anything.
Mine is locking up non stop. I can't even boot to the home screen most of the time. And when it does it'll lock up after a bit and go into more boot loops

Mine has been stable. The only FC I got was on engadget on their live feed from the nvidia presentation. Reopened the browser and everything was fine (including the engadget page).
I have been in both gmail and exchange, world of goo, tapatalk, newsrob, reddita, etc... with no problems.

Constant locking and rebooting here. Never rooted.
I've done the factory wipe twice. Still doing it.
This time I wiped and didnt sync with my Google account in case its some data thats being restored thats causing it.
Ive had no problems until the update
I updated to ICS last night and it rebooted at least 6 times in 1 hour. Couldn't take it anymore. I've only had the tablet for a week with no issues before update..Hope Asus didn't release a bad update...that would suck.
Thinking about doing a full data wipe and factory reset. Has anyone already tried this?
Just did it again with no apps loaded or anything. Every 20 minutes or so
I loved this tablet until now. I'm so frustrated
Mine's working OK, a few FCs but no reboots or lockups.
I had made a separate post this AM on this topic; but i have the same issue.
not rooted
never had a reboot or issue till last nights update
it boots and loads, i get in for about 1-5 mins and then it locks up and freezes for 10 seconds and does a quick book loop, then repeat.. over and over.
i have so many apps and settings i am dreading a factory reset, since it hasn't worked for anyone else i will hold off..
any other ideas?
---------- Post added at 03:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:02 PM ----------
was thinking maybe we should get our heads together and see if we have a common app or setting that is causing it.
but people have said they did a factory reset and it didn't fix it with no apps, so i am lost.
---------- Post added at 03:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:09 PM ----------
One clue I may have is that it only happens after the screen is unlocked.. if you leave the screen locked all day it won't reboot.
Once you unlock the screen its like a ticking time bomb. i've tried stopping all running services as well the second i unlock.
same here
same issue here
never rooted
never had issues
once upgraded constant reboots
also noticed google + force close every time.
i guess its not just 1 or 2 people....
hope asus will push another update soon

I can't seem to find a common thread among all of my experiments. I've wiped three times now (third time I got the message about upgrading and updating apps again, but it's still doing it), I've tried wiping and not using any Google accounts, I've tried using my Google account but not restoring, I've tried wiping data in all of my apps, I've tried killing all running services. I've removed my microSD card and it still happens. It also happened to me in all of the power modes. Actually, I haven't tried "power saver."
Seems to happen every 15-20 minutes, but I've also had it happen immediately after a reboot.
I wonder if it's due to the rumored overclock. I hope it's not a hardware issue.
Prior to the update I had zero issues with anything, including GPS or wifi.

yup i am in the same boat as you and have tried basically everything you have minus the reset. since it doesn't seem to be a solution I am going to hold off.
same thing happening with mine, tried the data wipes and resets. I'm at a loss
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
my latest attempt is turn on auto brightness and leave it in powersave mode.. its been up 5 mins.. which is a record today.
Probably due to the update not wiping system. Hopefully when ASUS upload the zip to the support site, you'll be able to sort it out. Could be a few days till that happens though.

Hi
my s3 keeps freezing. the screen basically just freezes while i'm doing something. and the device stops responding to anything.
cant lock it. cant do anything. it doesnt even autolock , the screen just stays on with whatever i was working on.
------------------
the only solution is to wait for it(about 20 minutes) and it will get back to whatever it was doing earlier. or hold the power button and it will reboot.
when i checked my router, i can see that it is still connected. so wifi is working. when i call my number from another phone, it rings but the S3 does absolutely nothing. and after it starts working again, i dont see any missed calls. so anyone who calls me while its "Freezing" will get ignored. i wont even know !!!
---------------
its not related to any app or function.
i updated it to 4.1.2 using odin a month ago (official release, because it would take it forever to get the update in my country) . it was running smoothly. a week ago it started freezing for moments every day or two. now i cant get through 10 minutes of using the device without it freezing for 20 or 30 minutes.
then the screen is turned on and it goes back to normal. and freezes after 10 minutes even if i dont use it.
i've noticed that using WiFi speeds up the freezing. When Wifi is On, it takes about 30s - 3 minutes for it to freeze.
--------
---
I did a Factory reset(full wipe from recovery mode), it worked for about an hour after the reset , and started freezing again like before.
----------------
after researching online.. many people had the same issue. some say its the stock android browser(but i dont use the browser), some said its a glitch in WiFi power saving mode(Disabled it, nothing changed), some said its a problem with the battery(i'm gonna trade batteries with my friend and see what happens).
I'm Freaking OUT !!! ... the device is Very Unstable and i use it on daily basis, i cant live without it. i dont know what to do. i've almost tried everything.
and i've paid alot of money for it
....
.........
i dont know what to do next. probably gonna flash it back to 4.1.1 or 4.0.4
i Hope to hear any ideas from you. or from anyone who had this issue with his device.
thanks in advance
Did you try a full wipe ?
Or maybe trying another ROM?
Try flashing a full stock Rom with a full wipe might that help
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Dude, mine did that the first week I got it. Ended up failing and became stuck in Samsung's boot logo. That has nothing to do with whatever rom you're using. Backup and return it to stock if possible/needed, and take it in for a replacement/repair asap.

and this has never happened before. and it didnt happen after i updated to 4.1.2 right away. it happened a month later
so i'm thinking it has to do with the hardware or some app update thats messing things up.

Did you find any solution for this? Mine has the same symptoms, but only when playing heavy 3D games.
*** ORIGINAL ***
I had this problem for the past two days. I removed my sd card about half an hour ago which seems to have fixed it. Before that it wouldn't even last two minutes without "locking up". I'll report back tomorrow if the problem was fixed permanently.
*** EDIT 1 ***
Nevermind, it froze just a few seconds ago. Keep on looking for a solution.
*** EDIT 2 ***
Well, I didn't touch my phone my phone over night and now it's working just fine. I have no idea why though.
update: my phone has almost stopped freezing. in past 24 hours it has frozen only ONCE !!
i've noticed that the freezing becomes more frequent if i pull the battery or restart by holding the power button.
so i started leaving it to sort it self out every time it freezes. and now its running smoothly.
-------
i'm happy that its working now, but still i wanna know what caused this. and if it will start happening again ??

everyone thnx for the feedback
and i will post updates and new info if i get any !
Mine is fixed
So i was having the same problem as the OP and i fixed my problem... These are the steps i took but maybe not all of them are needed.
Bought Triangle Away and Reset my Flash Counter
Flashed the Stock XXELLA ROM which updated the bootloader
Flashed CWM Touch Recovery 6.0.2.7
Booted in Recovery
Wipe Data / Factory Reset
Booted Normally
Installed crDroid ROM v10 with Siyah Kernel
This was finished at 5:30pm last night and my phone hasn't frozen since.
Spoke too soon
Well,
Phone is now dead.
Completely.
Doesn't turn on anymore.

Hi Ali5anDro31,
Just curious if you have any further updates? Is yours still working well?
It seems I have the exact same problem as you (freezes randomly, more likely to freeze during heavy load but also often within 5 minutes of boot, usually unfreezes in about 20 minutes, and often gets stuck on Samsung logo if forcing reboot rather than waiting).
For a while I thought that following your advice and just letting it unfreeze itself when it happens (even though it takes a long time) it might have been fixed (going 18 hours without a freeze after having about 30 freezes the two days prior), but now I just got one again (within 5 minutes of starting browsing this morning).
Should I stick with it and hope it resolves itself, or take other measures (e.g. see if I can return the phone)?

I keep getting freezes also.
So far, it only happens with XXELLC based roms. When I go back to XXELLA the phone never freezes.
I have tried several XXELLC Roms, but all of them freeze, including Omega and VikingRom.
I'm now on VikingRom v4.1 (XXELLA) and no freezes.
Edit:
Nevermind, now it's happening also on XXELLA roms. All this started happening to me after i installed CM10.1, and then i went directly to XXELLC, of course wiping everything including internal storage.
Spent 2 days with this problem, i'm on XXELLA with a completly unmodified S3 using a 64gb SD card. I think i've fixed it have now been running for 30 hours without a freeze. before it was freezing every 5 minutes, nearly sent the phone back.
Any way my solution is uninstall all updates to samsung 'music hub' and uninstall the samsung push service updates and disable. this seemed to fix it. Can't believe Samsung are putting out software that knacks their own phones.

I've seen the battery display problem on multiple problems. Most recent on my Charge.
Only thing I can think of is to let your device run down until it shuts off. Then let it sit for a day or two. Then charge it for a couple of hours and try to get into recovery or download whatever. It's been a long time but at one point my player was booting to a blank screen but the dev told me just to flash a kernel because it was in download mode.
Wish I had more to offer but it's been a long time since I've flashed anything on the player.

Hi friends
The incident started in the last day afternon when my phone (GT-S5312) fell down from my desk.It works fine, though at evening it hangs alot and switched off i thought battery gone empty.I realized the problem when it does not boot even after 2 hours of charge After 15 minutes i somehow managed to goto download mode (AT that time i was download stock rom, so i restart it ,without flashing stock rom) .The phones boots well and everything works fine:good: .But the real thing started after 10 minutes ,the screen goes blank suddenly ,and went tried to goto downlaod mode nothing happens it continues vibrates then i removed battery and tried nothing happens :crying:..Please guys help me to get my phone back ..
Current rom :-Cm12
Recovery :-cwn
Looking for a good friend with good mind to help ..
This won't probably help you a lot
I'm not really sure that you can do something about it . Think about it that problem doesn't exist because of your rom or something like that those problems shown up after your phone fell of your desk so probably something broke inside your pone and that's what causes your problems (This is my theory it might not be right).

try to flash it via Odin
try odin maybe it works......
Last night the phone randomly restarted out of nowhere mid-text message with my friend. It kept restarting in a loop then I pulled the battery and tried it again and I did get the phone going enough to send one text then it crashed again. Now it wont start at all. It's stuck on the bootloader unlocked screen. Help?
I'm running twrp and android 5 from siraltus
Same has happened on 17 of my company v10s.
Should be a recall on these phones. LG knows there is a problem.
You got the curse, I did too, if there's no Phys. damage and you are qualified, you can request an overnight wnty replacement... I just got my second V10, hopefully it wont die on me too until T-Mo gets a decent device for me to jump to...
Same happened to mine..
Did anyone notice seemingly random vibrations before the phone died like that? I keep thinking mine is vibrating for no reason every now and then. Maybe mine will be next to go lol.

Mine bricked yesterday 2 weeks out of warranty. 99 dollars for a replacement and about 2 weeks without the phone through square trade. Last LG phone for me. Clearly they know there is a problem. Unfortunately I"m still stuck in my Jump on demand contract with this thing and don't want to jump right now. Maybe to the S8. Mine was vibrating randomly too sometimes although I don't know if that had anything to do with it. Completely stock phone. First phone I haven't rooted in years.
