This is driving me crazy, and I'm thinking about getting a refund, but I want to ask here to see if anybody has any idea what my problem could be.
Got my pocophone last week, there is only one game I play on it right now (yokai watch punipuni, a japanese app), and it runs horribly. It's a 2D game, and it runs better on my old huawei p10 lite.
I guessed having updated to the last miui version that was the problem, so I waited my 72 hours to be able to unlock.
After 1 day of waiting, the game magically started playing smooth as butter. Not after a reboot, not after anything. It was running badly, I slept for a few hours, woke up, played again, and it was fine.
Then, since I was being impatient about the wait time, I tried a trick I read around (that doesn't work anymore) involving using a second miui account. All I gained was resetting my 72 hours, and the game being back to not working.
Today I was going to finally unlock it. A few hours before I could, the game started behaving again, with no reason. I then checked though the unlocker how much time I had left: 2 hours.
Back to the phone, the game was laggy again.
I finally unlocked the phone and now spent hours trying various versions of lineage with different vendor builds (I tried like 3 or 4 different combinations just to be sure), but none of them made me run the game properly. Anyway this makes it sound like it's not OS related.
I tried installing pubg, but since I've never played it I have no idea how it's supposed to run.
I tried installing extreme kernel, and it made things a little better, but still not good enough.
I really don't know what to think. Doesn't seem to be related to the OS, nor an actual hardware issue (I couldn't tell what triggered the game to run properly, but it stopped working properly both times after a reboot/fastboot access).
Any idea?
Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone,
To be honest, it's been some time since I've been here, back when I knew how everything on this forum worked...
I kinda forgot, so I'm just posting this HELPME!? thread
This is my problem:
About 1.5 years ago I downloaded a ROM, and put it on my phone, and it was working just fine. However, 3 weeks ago it became really annoying, i'll explain what my problem was:
My phone would randomly freeze when i was doing things, these things could vary from "sending a text message" to "opening my 4th opera tab".
After that it wouldn't respond unless I reset it. However, when starting up again after resetting it would do a few possible things.
1. It's freeze at the first startup screen.
2. It's keep switching between unlock and "pin-screen", and when it was working again, it'd freeze.
3. It'd start up, and after about 5 seconds buzz like 5 times, then freeze.
When i left it on frozen the battery and phone would turn very hot as well =(
So, I tried a hard reset, but that didn't work.
After that i went to the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591784
I followed the instructions, installed the right Radio (2.12.50), and installed the ROM ( Energy.Leo.21916.Sense2.5.NLD.Cookie.2.0.Jul.07.7z ).
I remembered how to intall these things, so I think i've done that right.
So, after that it seemed to be working fine, and I was really proud and happy.
Now my phone has frozen again, and starting up was an issue again...
Does anyone know what my problem is? And what would be even better, what i can do to solve it?
Please let me know <3
Adios <3
Little Update:
So, I've been carrying my HTC HD2 around with me again, and then it started again...
It froze when I tried to send a text, and after that would freeze or vibrate (a few times) during the start-up...
It's really anoying =( If I'd have to estimate my phone's uptime a day...
It used to be 24h a day, now it's more like... 4 hours a day, with 2/3 hours of trying to get it working :Z
That could be hardware related. Possibly processor overheating. I would download the latest stock rom and fash it to see if it sorts the problem. If not it will need to be sent of to HTC to be replaced.
Hey!
One week ago, I bought my Archos G9 and since then my device crashes around 7-8 times a day. I have the newest firmware with root enabled on my device and disabled everything I could imagine (window animations, gps, etc.).
I have know idea why it crashes. There is no special pattern. One moment it crashes during browsing, the other while playing doodle jump, etc. Maybe it's because of the 512MB RAM? I already put a swap file on my device, but it didn't help at all...
hope you can help!
Ram has nothing to do with crashes. Try rooted firmware without custom busybox, download in Modified Init thread (custom busybox seems to be responsible for quite some problems)

thanks for reply!
My device is already running on this custom rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1480906
EDIT: Seems like there is something wrong with the CPU... while performing the SetCPUs stresstest, my device crashed. Is it a general Archos G9 problem, or a specific problem with my device? I also noticed, that the back gets relativly hot... This happens only while i charge it.

When i first bought mine it also crashed every now and then and what i did was a full reset from the settings . Since then no more crashes on apps , so give it a try
If u dont need it, make sure bluetooth and gps are off, that always seemed to help me

I've had mine for 10 days now. I haven't rooted it yet - it's running the stock 3.2.80 firmware.
For the first 4 or 5 days, it seemed fairly stable - odd reboots, but nothing too bad.
Now, it won't stay running for more than 2 or 3 minutes from reboot before it freezes and I have to long-press the power button to shut it down. Sometimes it just reboots on it's own. But after each reboot, it stays running for less time than the last. If I let it lie down for a few hours, it will return to running for 2 or 3 minutes before freezing or rebooting again.
Mine also seems to get pretty warm on the back.
I've tried getting an RMA number from the Archos website, but that page doesn't work (shows a MySQL error!). Had to resort to emailing their support team a couple of days ago, but still waiting for any response.
I wish I had bought it from Play.com instead of direct from Archos - at least I could have returned it easier. All in all, I'm not very impressed so far.
BTW, I did do a full, factory reset, but it's made no difference.
Nothing worked, i already deactivated GPS and bluetooth and did a factory reset too.
I think I'll wait for the ICS update and hope, that archos will fix the problem... I don't think it's a hardware issue...
Try 3.2.79 version, IMO it works overall better than 3.2.80 but I can't test 3g stick. Wifi however behaved better on .79.
Note- you can't downgrade official firmware (AFAIK)
I believe there is a way of downgrading official firmware - I may give 3.2.79 a go.

I'm trying to figure out what my options are. I've got a TF201 that I got in February or March from Amazon.
For a while I've been having problems while running a lot of games. They'll just freeze on the screen, jumping between two frames. The absolute worst are Tegra games. Some of the time, the screen is still responsive to input; that's if I remember where buttons and inputs are. Some times when I keep trying to play it'll just dump me back to the home screen. The only thing that seems to fix the problem, maybe 25% of the time, is to reboot the tablet.
I read some threads on how it's the software, and other ROMs solve their seemingly identical issue. So I unlocked the bootloader to properly load another ROM. I tried several, including different kernels, and it never made the problem go away. I've even tried stock, but rooted previous updates. I followed the instructions in each thread, making sure to do a factory wipe, dalvik cache wipe, etc. I even tried being unrooted to see if it worked right on a later version since I saw that mentioned.
It's still doing pretty much the same thing where it freezes/crashes after all of that.
It can be very cold, not used that day, or hot from a good bit of use. Works both ways, so no correlation to temperature. Most of the time it's off of the charger. Most of the time it's not a fresh start when I try. Normally I let it sit for a while so it can do the background updates for apps and the play store. I even eliminated the option for other apps causing the problem by factory resetting, and only having one of the games that's pretty bad about it running. Doubtful it's the game itself since most of my games are doing it, most not even by the same developers.
I remember reading my warranty is void when I unlocked it. Buy to what extent?
At this point, it seems like it's a hardware issue.
I googled this, and searched the forums the best I could, but not really getting anything answering the above question.
I put this in Q&A instead of development because I'm more concerned about what extent the warranty is voided instead of fixing it.
Of course if anyone is interested in troubleshooting it, I'm all for it.

Sorry, I read over my post several times to make sure I didn't leave anything out; finally figured out what was bugging me that I forgot!
Dead Trigger, Gears and Guts, GTA3, Shine Runner, Sprinkle, Shadowfinger, Asphalt 6, Asphalt 7, Gem Miner 2, and I'm pretty sure that Demolition Inc. did as well. The only correlation between them all is games. Playing videos via MXPlayerPro doesn't do it, nor any other regular app.
There's more games that did it, but I can't recall at the moment.

I'm still curious about the answer somewhat.
I figured I'd give Amazon a try, not expecting any luck. I tried to see if they'd do an exchange for the same thing. Since it wasn't in stock by them, they said they would give me a refund. I got a pit in my stomach, thinking it'd be maybe half the value like I've seen some people say online.
I was shocked when they offered a full refund bought on something at the beginning of February.
Looks like I'll be replacing it with a TF700T instead; I'm definitely happy considering I would have been satisfied with another TF201
So, I've followed up on all the Netflix Jellybean issues through the forum quite intensely, and am still having a Netflix issue. A little background:
After I bought the tablet, Netflix worked fine. Then three months ago, it crashed for the first time.
After that, it'd crash 1 out of every 60 times. A month later, 1 every 30. As of last month, it was crashing 1 out of every 3 times I tried to watch something -- the Netflix circle would just go around and around and around, and then go back to it.
Yesterday, it started to crash with everything. It'll get to the movies/play menu, but once I click on a video, I just get the spinning circle o' doom.
I've done the video quality adjustment and have done everything except going 100% stock -- there doesn't seem to be a clear and concise thread on how to return it 100% factory and erase absolutely everything (or maybe I'm just not looking clear enough). I'm not sure if going back to stock would help where it continually degraded over the months..
Anyway, have any others experienced this on the first gen Galaxy Tab? And are you experienced on how to fix it by chance?..
If you flash a stock rom via odin and you do a factory reset in stock recovery, you are 100% stock.
Lol
Not a netflix user sorry.

I encountered similar problem with my tab.
Got it fixed by wiping EVERYTHING and reverting back to the stock - HC3.1.
Then netflix worked flawlessly.
Soon after, I flashed custom rom -cm10.1- and can confirm that netflix is working no problem.
Give it a try and good luck.
I've had my honor 10 for over a year now,never experienced any issues,not even after updating to emui 10,however recently ive noticed the device restarting itself while not even in use,and these days its starting to sometimes freeze and reboot. Has anyone experienced anything like this, i am considering to do a factory reset however first id like to hear if anyone has any other ideas what could be the cause.
I'm experiencing exactly the same. I had no problem in two years but for the past two days I think my honor 10 froze and rebooted maybe 5/6 times... It's completely random, three times when I had the phone in hand, the other during night or non using period.
I'm also on emui 10 since it was available : currently on 10.0.0.177(C432E3R1P4patch01). @Anubiz_DK did you find any clues ?

My problem was the same, factory reseting it worked.
Started having same problem myself two days ago. I really don't want to do the factory reset, but it seems like it is the only way ?
Update, after the factory reset everything was good for a month, yesterday the issue came back, no apparent reason why
I had a similar problem, but after a couple of days it went away by itself.
Im also seeing visual bugs before some of the reboots, like colorful squares and such
I wiped cache partition yesterday and so far so good. Before wipe it was restarting 5-10 times a day.
Did the same today and it seems to help
Also i how much free ram do you have without an open app, seems to be conected to the issue, both time i had reboots it was around 800mb and 1.12gb,after wiping the catches ive stayed around 1.8-2.0 gbs
About 2 days after wipe of cache partition the reboots started again. No apparent reason why. Sometimes it happens when in use, sometimes it happens when not it use. Some times there are plenty of apps in background, sometimes 1 or 2. Sometimes it reboots 3 times in a few minutes, sometimes it goes 1-2 days without reboot. Heavy use and multitasking doesn't seem to trigger the reboot. Few times it even rebooted while booting and once it booted to safe mode.
Anyone tried checking if it could be a hardware issue, and are you all on emui 10
Im on EMUI 10. I can't think of any HW issue. Maybe RAM related?
The reboots started to intensify for last 4 days. I get about 5-15 daily at various situations. Formatting cache partition doesn't help anymore, i got one reboot about 5 minutes after wiping cache partition.
I just got August security update along with system update 10.0.0.180 (C432E5R1P4). Will report later if it helped with the reboots.
Well I got one reboot yesterday and one today. So no help here..
I have a new theory after traveling last night on a train, for a while there were no reboots, but as i was in a hell hot train last night the phone could not stop rebooting, sooo im imaginine its possible overheating issue

Hi! It's unlikely, IMHO, since my phone reboots too, but it's of ~room temperature, no signs of overheating. Maybe, it's thermal compound bug/lack, but unlikely.
At 4PDA, I've counted around 10 people having the same reboot issue. I've asked some of them here, but we don't know the reason for sure. 4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=904618&view=findpost&p=101416402
So, still guessing. One of them said that After downgrading to android 9.1 and resetting , her phone runs just fine. That trick does not work for me...
Important note : for the cases I've seen, it has started ~within 2 months (around Sept 2020)

I can confirm that. And I think it is quite strange. Could it be something with NPU unit?
BTW, I have early unit. I bought it right when the phone was available. In 5/18.
It had stoped. and it started again, honestly i have no idea at this point, there is no good reason for all this, im done with this at this point
I'm angry. I have sent my phone to RMA, the last day of warranty, 31st May 2020. The USB-C connector wasn't able to transfer data and it couldn't fast charge.
They actually accepted it and changed everything except motherboard. So 3 weeks later in June I got basically new phone back, with new battery, display, back cover... And because I wiped it before sending it to RMA, I did clean install and rightaway also a clean install of Android 10. Everything was working perfectly, battery life was great..
And then the damn reboots started, late September or early October. It pisses me of, since the phone has been recently refurbished in official service centre within the warranty. I was expecting to be able to use it quite comfortably for at least another year since the service. Possible up to 2 years...
