Wondering if anyone has had problems with navigation app on Warp in that its appears to make phone freeze up and reboot its self automatically for no apparent reason


+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Ok I don’t get this.....I've had this phone coming up to a yr. in August. It’s my first "smart phone and android so have not much to compare with....recently within the month I have needed to use the navigation app (stock app) quite often due to travelling for work.......


I have been experiencing phone freeze ups and unexpected self-rebooting it does seem that it’s primarily happening when using the navigation app.

 

Thank you LilBit.......On one hand I knew someone would probably recommend rooting....You know I suppose I’m a touch "old School" I actually bought the phone just to talk...What a novel idea gradually used it to check email and some texting....trust me u really don’t want to know how badly I type...talk about all thumbs

It’s only been in the past month that I have needed to use the navigation app quite often due to my current job. The phones a yr. old now. Have actually considered upgrading to the galaxy 3 but even that seems to have issues
I seem to me that there’s something going on with the NAV app and the phone. The rebooting and freezing as far as I can tell is only when I’m using navy app. If I’m not using it but keep gps on the phone appears fine.
That’s why I was wondering if there had been some sort of upgrade to Nav app and maps that may be causing the trouble and if anyone else has experienced this problem.
I know I should read more on rooting for the possibility of attempting it in the future.

 

I will consider this...this may not be proper place to ask and I'll have to spend some time reading the root forum but does rooting change any else such as the launcher or background which I have gotten used to

 

I am seriously considering this. Am starting to read of the All Things Root forum. While rooting may give certain advantages what about just doing a hard reset on phone to put it back to when I bought it. I know I would loose every thing but if I backed up all first it would just be re installing apps. Does one have more advantages over the other.
I realize you may say rooting is best but thought it may be an interesting comparison

 

First of all thanks to all for comments...Hers how it stands now Sunday 7-28 at 4:30est

While I am seriously considering rooting. And I understand its being advocated by all of you. I have been in contact with boost technical just to make sure I have exhausted all and that its really not a phone issue…..I am under warranty until August 19 I am told.
Look I know it’s not the most advanced phone and I’ve never had an android phone before so I really can’t compare it to any others that I’ve had.
I have been generally satisfied with it...
At times over the course of the last year it has frozen on me and I have had to manually reboot It or remove battery to reboot it ….yes but it’s not often and I’ve probably had more problems with my home pc then with the phone.
It’s only been recently maybe a month that due to a new part time job that I need to travel more that I have had to use the default Navigation app which is preinstalled that I have found the phone freezing and or just rebooting on its own after about 25 to 30m minutes though sometimes even at shorter intervals
One possibility is that it’s overheating.
Called boost and they lead me through standard reset msl stuff and they recommend calling zte to possible have zte look at it for warranty.

HOWEVER and this may not be related with in the past 3 days I have notice that any text messages sent to me are taking within 2

 

Interesting just found this link........sounds similar

I'm just wondering is the navigation app tied to Google Maps? I thought there was a recent maps update. Now it dosent seem that there is any way to uninstall Navigation and reinstall it but apparently Google Maps can be uninstalled and renistalled (I think) Could it be possible that if they are "tied " together that any recent updates may not be "playing " well with each other and the phone causing it to reboot?

 

Update:
Too soon to say if I've solved problem but may be it was not over heating.....I went into > manage apps and deleted cache and all updates to maps app.....now for the past 2 days phone has not rebooted on its own......It still needs another week of trying before I can say I'm comfortable in that rebooting problem is solved......Is it possible that there had been some update that just wasn't "playing ": well with Warp/
