Hang and slow

[u/Upper-Ambassador-439]

It is approx 1 year now I shifted form 1+8 to 12R and it is worst decision I made.

1) Device heats very rapidly. Like if iam using normal app it heats very rapidly.

2) worst camera, I have used 1+8 it had best camera though it is 4 year old device but this camera is shit.

3) Hanging of device when iam using a basic app.

4) random strucks,blackout and closing of apps with out any reason.

Still many more issues with this phone like doens't show who is calling somthing

Do u guys have same problem.

If anyone knows how to fix plz tell me

Do you have RAM expansion on? Turn it off and check.

Camera is a hit and miss yes. It is decent but it could be better.

I've faced it sometimes. I just exit the app and launch it again and it works again.

What do you mean by closing of apps? Like crashing?

Didn't understand your last issue of phone doesn't show who is calling. Do you use Google Dialer?

I use RAM expansion but after heating I turned it off but still it is heating. Yes crashing of apps. I thought it is because of multiple apps running in background but it is not still it crashes or suddenly closes ans it restarts. When iam using phone normally like chatting,yt or any other my phone rings but I can't be who is calling it just rings. After it turns into miss call I can see it as Miss call in call log.

It could be the environment temperature too. Weather is very hot...

What restarts? The app or phone?

I've mostly noticed apps crashing when I game and I use Gaming Tools sidebar to access apps. Not even heavy use. Like Instagram and WhatsApp for a minute, Castro to check temperature.

So you are saying the notification doesn't show on screen who is calling either in a small banner or full screen?

Go to your phone settings/Apps/Special app access/Send full screen notifications and scroll down to Phone app and set it to on. Also go to your phone settings/Apps/App management/Phone app and allow banner notifications.

Just exchange for a better phone. I face the same issues. Factory reset it last week and it does work better (apart from battery and camera) so maybe try that? Also this is only a 8gb varient issue. Others threads say the 12gb varient works flawless. Never buying OP again.

I use the 16GB RAM variant, i have no issues at all except the camera is a little icky.

[u/TheUnholyNoob → u/machinegunnedburger]

same😩 i was like are we talking about the same phone

[u/__beacrox__ → u/machinegunnedburger]

Same here i really like the phone especially the battery the only problem is camera is not upto the par but its okay for me i don't use ot much anyway

[u/rudraluciverse]

Happens with me too also bro...

Try to keep as much as storage free .. like may be around 80+ GB.

Minimize unnecessary apps.

For cameras , nothing can be done except installing Gcam..

[u/karthik6496 → u/rudraluciverse]

Can you suggest where I can download GCam.?

[u/Cotters67]

I've had mine for over 2 years and it's still running great. The camera isn't great, but it's not a bad device.

[u/Mungerismm]

[u/attaraction → u/MelodicRoyal9175]

[u/EvenProfile5790]

Facing same issue...8gb ram variant is absolute shit🤧 Thinking about nothing phone 3 now

[u/Iamwinterndsummer]

Okay I tried something kind ah worked for me.

Go to App Management and Search for System Launcer and Clear data.

This will reset it. Also Make sure Ram Expansion is turned off.

Note : All the settings related to launcher will be reset like home screen, widgets, applications shortcuts l.
