Hello guys,
Its my first post here, and my first android phone, and already i have a annoying problem.
I have searched these forums and many others but didnt find any similar problem or solution for it so here it is:
I bought Samsung Galaxy S2 15 days ago, from the local mobile service provider with contract. It runs OS Gingerbread 2.3.3 (adjusted to my mobile service provider settings), not rooted, under warranty.
Ive downloaded and installed many apps. Among them some free games from android market - demos, lite, free.
Sometimes, while i play, not often, game freezes. When it does only thing that is lest working is sound, and home button. Than i go to home screen, kill the game via android task manager, and than i see that screen auto rotation isnt working. Its stuck in landscape mode mostly, or portrait, even the auto rotation option is on. If it is in landscape mode, when i uncheck auto rotation then it goes to portrait mode. If i try some other game that supports sensor controls, like driving (accelerometer?).... u know...... when u tilt the phone to turn right or left......... and its not working.
Ive discovered 2 possible temporary solutions for the problem:
1. Turn off and on the phone, and its back to normal;
2. Wait for a 10 min or so, and its back to normal by itself;
I have one year warranty and i took the phone to service where they assumed that it is a software problem and flashed OS (ive recorded the behaviour of the phone with camera and showed to the service guy).
Ive got the phone back after a day with flashed OS. On a fresh instal of OS ive installed just one app, one game that it tends to freeze and cause problem - "Cordy" free trial. After just 20 sec of playing problem occurred again. It happened just that one time in last two days.
Any opinion on this matter is most welcome.
Tnx in advance.
If the phone is stuck then Restarting it is the option, not a temporary one. Now what's causing the freeze? I don't know.
Regards.
Tnx for answering. Im a bit disappointed with lack of answers because it just saying that my problem is not something common and with easy solution.
Im saying that restarting the phone is a temporary solution because i want find one that will prevent the problem for happening at all. Game freeze and accelerometer not working r connected in this case
It happened just now.
After that I checked in the app called sensor test that i instaled ffrom android market, and also that testing menu typing *#0*#.
in both cases it shows that acceleration sensor is not working. It came to normal by itself after 5 min or so.
What do u think? Software or hardware problem?
OK, update.
Its not caused just by the games, it happens even when not using any apps.
Accelerometer, orientation sensor and magnetic field sensor just stop working for a 5-10 min. Dont know whats causing this.
Tommorow is going back to service and im afraid that guys there r clueless.
Anyone have some suggestion pls.
Update on a problem.
My friend bought same phone from same service provider 3 days after i did and he is having exactly same problem.
He didnt had time before to test it but we did it yesterday, and after a hour of so trying to reproduce problem we succeded.
My phone is at service and i called today and the service guy said that the work on my phone is completed, they replaced sensors part (which apparanty comes with touch screen).
Im picking it up tommorow and i will test it and see if the problem is solved. But, im pesimistic.
How likely is that me and my friend have same hardware problem?
Here it is on video. Pls watch it and give any kind of oppinion, im getting desperate.

I have a thl w200s I have it for one week and from the time that i first opeened it I face a problem. Almost every 24 hours when receiving a call the phone crashes (freezes) and it doesn't respond to any button (or combination). The only thing i can do is to remove the battery and insert it again. Then the phone restarts automatically. This problem happens almost every 24 hours since i got it. Is anything that i can do to solve this problem?
Same here
Hi, I have the same thing. Couple days it was ok but now, my phone freeze at least once a day.
If anybody know some solution, please let us know"
Thanks
The same problem with my thl w200s
I have the same problem any solution yet?
W200S freeze issue
Hello i had the same issue but i think i found a solution. After rooting my phone i installed cpu no-frills and the only thing i changed was the governor from hotplug to performance, set it to apply on boot, and somehow the problem stopped. It has been two weeks without a single freeze.
I'm having this rather strange problem with my Huawei Ascend P7 (running Android 4.4.2). I recently updated the system software to the new version P7-L10V100R001C00B609 which brought the new EMUI 3.0.
After the update my phone somehow stops or pauses apps. It doesn't close them, just stops. Most annoying of these is the keyboard which disapperas when I'm in the middle of writing something. I can't write a full sentence without the keyboard disappearing and me having to tap the screen to bring it back up.
When I try to listen new ringtones using Zedge for example, phone often stops the music. I also tried watching Youtube videos and the phone pauses the video several times in a minute so watching videos is pretty much impossible.
So far I've tried to disable all the power saving settings and reset the phone to the default factory state but neither of those worked and now I just don't know what to do anymore.
I rooted the phone while still using the later system version (can't remember the exact version number) and after updating the system the root permission still remained.
I can't seem to find anyone with a similar problem with this phone. Does anyone here possible have some kind of idea what might be going on with my phone?
So i bought a Doogee S60 Lite and in the first days it was great but then it started to crash every app on android, freezing and restarting, i did reset factory that didn't help and flash another firmware and the same problem continues, after a day or two the phone was good again without doing anything and now is crashing again, its no-sense ...
Anyone knows what is causing it or any fix?
Hello guys, I have this tablet for about 6 months and I noticed serious slowdowns when I switch from home to the app section, to make it clearer when from the home I "swipe up" to enter the menu say, see in slow motion and when I install new apps do not add them and I'm forced to restart the device to see it. All in all when I do other operations the device is quite fluid. I have noticed this problem only with original firmware, with custom OS there is not this problem. Do you have any solution? I tried to downgrade but it is practically impossible. I need help is a very annoying thing for me
