new behold 2 owner

[boostedscooby]

coming from a first gen behold . Im happy to have upgrade to android .The only problem i have had so far is when i turned the phone off and try to restart it would freeze and have the android logo replay but never get to the home screen. Had to force recover mode 3 times. I'm guessing some app that force the phone to stay awake might be causing this . Can some please tell me if this is the cause or is there something else wrong with my phone.

Turn it on and then once you see the android logo just wait for it to load it takes a minute.

I think we need more information before we can help diagnose the problem.

• Why are you restarting the phone?
• What apps are you adding after you reset the phone?
• How far do you let the battery drain before charging?
• What settings are you changing?

1)I had to restart phone twice times because the screen has frozen after i added a bad( not going to mention ) app . Also to save battery power i did shut the phone off and restarted about 2 hours later .
2)since i had the phone i have added about 8 different apps. 2 music apps , 1 browser app ,1 ring tone app ,3 game apps and 1 weather app.
3) I have let the battery drain completely . With some modern use( messaging, surfing web and using the music player) the battery is at the last bar . By the time i get off work the battery is dead.

4)The only setting i have change to save battery power is dimming the lcd screen , turning off wifi,auto sync, back light to 30 second , and gps off . the only thing that reminds on is the background data usage .

I see that the battery in the behold 2 dosen't last that long at all .

Check your weather app. I have found weatherbug killed my battery. I turned off "follow me" and set up a location for work and home. Since then battery live doubled.

I have had the same problem in fact it just happened this morning while my phone was already on. Phone was working fine, I got off subway and into office and notice it's the Android logo over and over again.

One app is Dolphin Browser which will cause this crash. All I know to do is reset the phone and then have to reinstall everything all over again.

Very annoying and nobody else seems to have documented this problem.
