    Has anyone experienced one of the Swaybacks Android apps breaking their phone? It's probably just coincidence, but my husband was running one (can't remember which) and his phone just froze. He can't do anything to re-start it, tried twice. It's an 11 month old phone, so it's going to have to go back to Motorola. He's a bit miffed naturally and being a new swagger, is now going to have to take a break for a while (as apps are now our main way of earning).

    Swagbucks apps usually have a low footprint. It's more likely that some other app has "broken" the phone.

    Had them freeze the phone twice since i have been using the apps... 1st time took the battery out for 2 mins, 2nd time did a hard restart... hold vol and on/off for 5 second on my phone but will be different on different phones. Android tend to freeze at times (not just on sb apps) more than other OS's. Doubt the phone is broken.

    =====
    edit to add... have found Android more likely to freeze when the batteries are running low.. think it is more a case of it becomes extreamly slow (several mins) to respond to buttons.... so if all else fails put the phone on charge for 20 mins and try again.

    Thanks for the tips, it's the kind of modern phone where you can't take the battery out. We have done that charging for 20 mins thing and trying again twice, also 2 hard re-sets and still nothing. It's a Motorola G phone. I guess we'll try one more time in the morning, before sending it back to Motorola. At least it's under warranty still.
