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.

here are some observations:
Every so often the hardware keys stop working. (soft keys seem fine) Quick fix is put unit into standby then unlock and keys work again.
Lookout Mobile: while doing a backup the system shuts down for some reason.
I just upgraded my wife's g-tab yesterday to G-Harmony. She hasn't had any of the issues that you mentioned.
From what I can tell from the main thread, you need to completely wipe the gtab before flashing the rom. Here's (Basically) what I did.
Formatted each and every mount point
Cleared each and every cache
Connected to my computer via USB
Flashed the Rom in.
Booted and let it sit about 20 minutes before I did anything.
Downloaded a Term emulator and ran V6.
Everything pretty much seems to be ok. Every once and a while she experiences an issue with an app or two after it sits running for a long period of time but a reboot seems to fix it.
Hope this helps.
Other issue observations...
After loading G-Harmony on my wife's tablet this weekend, I've noticed a few things (complaints from her).
* After running for about 1 1/2 - 2 hours, system will get very slow and eventually just locks.
* Browser simply goes to a white screen
* Audio stops running (I found a thread that said to turn off GPS and reboot. I've tried that, but I don't know if it has made a difference yet.).
That's all for now. Is anyone else seeing anything like this?
There is a new ics rom by jamcar. Try it out. I did and it runs very good.
Thanks.
I'll take a look at it. Not sure if my wife will give up her tablet or high scores (again) but I'll see how she reacts. ;o)
I bought Chuwi Hi8 about a month back and consistently it crashes after some usage. Happens both in Android and Windows. Updating Windows didn't help. I don't see "System update" option in Android mode. Factory reset doesn't help either.
Do you guys experience the same or is it stable for you? I'm trying to check if I got a lemon or others see this issue as well.
Can someone guide me how to set it up to get a cash dump and how to install GDB in it for dump analysis? Currently I have no clue why tablet crashes every now and then.
Bad experience
I have bought chuwi hi8 via DealExtreme at a very hugh price 109€ and it is the worst tablet i ever tried. The machive overheats all the time. If you restore windows you lose the O.S. swaping app. Youtube on android is limited to 720p. The ambedded video on android crashes 40% of the time. And the Multi user options on android does not exist.
If you brighten the screen on windows via energy saving, windows crashes all the time and becomes unusable, The audio works via WDM compatibility.
See why i write this post on my videos:

And finally the RMA is very difficult.

Thanks for sharing! Yep, it crashes every freaking time. Windows throws blue screen, and Android just hangs. Such an unstable product. Does this company have anything like QA control?

Hey there!
Mmm... Quite weird what you said... :S
Mine is perfectly working since I bought it, both android and w8.1, and since this very morning it's been upgraded to w10...
For the upgrade, I just needed to put a microSD for the w8.1 backup abd after 3-4h of download+backup+install is working just great.
Have to try the windows utility to reset the tablet? Or just tried the factory reset on android?
Thanks for reply! Yes, I've tried Android reset which brought back Android in Chinese mode, so had to follow a video on youtube to get it back to English. But tablet still consistently crashes after some use like in 5 to 10 mins of usual browsing. Probably I got a lemon?

Hi,
I've similar issue but with play store only. Permanent crash. Many Android reset without success.
No issue on windows... instead windows himself ^^
Could be a bug in Android build or your device overheating?
I have the tablet for 3 weeks now and im using it daily. I don't have anything to say bad about it, only the fact that it kinda gets warm to the touch if I use it a long period of time, nothing abnormal.
No real issues so far
Raheem, I bought two recently and I do not have issue with either. I notice when play a game, it does get warm and after an hour or so, the thermal limiter comes on. Battery life is only about 3 hours of on screen time.
Android 5.0 reset.

Android 5.0 reset. Forgot my password. Need help. How do I do a factory reset?
Hello guys. Recently after the oreo update, I'm facing a lot of issues. Main thing being the screen freeze. The phone hangs suddenly at a screen and nothing works. It doesn't even reboots on its own, if I leave it, it will stay like that forever. Only way to start it back is to hold power and vol down after which it reboots. Also i have noticed, before this happens, there is a slutter and lagginess in my phone, like while switching apps with the recent app navigation icon, while typing, or bringing down notifications, everything seems to be a bit laggy giving an indication that the phone is going to freeze. And I reboot it, I have seen that the battery drops by 5% suddenly and phone gets hot. Can someone please help me identify the problem. I can do a factory reset, but I won't be satisfied until I know what's wrong so that I can prevent it happening ever again.
@SHIVALP123 Sometimes updates can cause issues especially if upgrading to a other android version. Factory reset should fix the problem and for future a backup and clean wipe for different android versions. Could just be a malfunctioning app or files that got left behind maybe. I'm loving the V30 just recently upgraded from 6P. Oreo is fantastic and no issues so far to speak of. ?

Ohh. Okay. Thank you. I have deleted many recently installed apps for now. No issue since morning, battery life has improved quite a lot. Got 8:15hrs of screen on time with 4G on all the time and all the time the net was being used. I wonder how well it will perform on wifi. I just hope i don't have to reset it now. ?
The Zenfone 9 is a great little device. However, since today I have seen several automatic reboots of the device. Anyone else seeing this problem?
I haven't seen a reboot; any new app you've installed of late?
Good hint - I have installed one yesterday. Will uninstall and report back.
Unfortunately is still get 1-2 reboots a day. Not critical but annoying! Anyone else?
I'm on latest update and unlocked+rooted. Not a single unwanted reboot.

Are you on the latest update? Mine hasn't arrived yet, but I'm worried this issue will appear on mine.

Yes I am. No worries. Device is great. Just software.
Did a hard reset - problem persists. Not sure what the cause is - working with Asus support on it.
Hi, a friend of mine with a ZF9 has got reboot every night during charge (he uses slow charge, this night he'll try normal charge).
He had reboot even during daytime, he did a hard reset yesterday and for now everything is ok, but I'll update with new info in case of.
I've been having those reboots for weeks now. There is an official thread on the asus forums talking about it. There are more than a dozen people who have also reported it and from the looks of it, Asus hasn't found the source of the problem yet. Out of curiosity, in which country did you buy it? Are you rooted?
my version is a french version. I neither had any beta OS on it nor was it rooted. I wanted to provide Asus with Logs but they rather wanted the device for repair, now I'm waiting for its return.
I doubt this is a hardware issue though as the reboots did happen in cold state w/o any system activities ongoing. The only special thing on my setup was that I used two sim cards in parallel.
I did a hard reset and he problem remained. I also used slow charging.
I'm from Italy and the phone of my friend is not rooted and with bootlloader locked.
I heard my friend minutes ago, and from when he deactivated programmed charging the issue seems to have disappeared. Have you got programmed charging on?
Yes, I have the upload scheduled. But I'm beginning to suspect that the problem originates from a lot in Italy. I just asked you because I thought it was from there.
Love this phone but also having the same issue. Bought from Asus directly (US site) too. There's a whole thread of folks with the problem too on their forum:
ZenFone 9 randomly restarts
Hi all, I bought an Asus ZenFone 9 from the UK online store. I started to migrate the apps from my old phone to the zf9 and once I finished I started to use my new ZenFone 9 as my main phone. However, I noticed around 3 dso that when i wentato unplug a fter charging the phone it looked as if it...

Try to deactivate it and report please ;-)
My friend hasn't got reboot since then for now, two days and a half ago.
My reboots do not happen while charging, FWIW. And they're always while the phone is idle (sitting on desk). I look up and see it's spontaneously rebooting...
I was having reboots on custom kernel, just updated to 32.2050.2050.34 without going custom kernel (still rooted) and have had no reboots yet.
Mine reboots while watching YouTube app, either with high brightness, while charging, or both. It seems to be less likely to happen if i clear cache from YouTube settings.
It typically doesn't happen in other apps. Phone is stock. EU version.
After testing for a few weeks, there is a good chance that the reboots on my device are due to Magisk (not modules)
