Various app crashes including Twitter (marketplace) and Google Plus (adaptive search)

I got a ZTE Open from Ebay a week or two ago and ever since then, I cannot even use Twitter from the Firefox Marketplace or even from the browser/adaptive search. Almost every time I try to view my Twitter lists for example, it crashes. And some crashes on the phone cause my device to reboot just from viewing the web. Is there an update for this device? Here is mt devices info from Settings.

Model: ZTE OPEN Software: OPEN_FFOS_V1.0.0B03_MOVISTAR OS Version: 1.0.1.0-prerelease Firmware revision: V1.01.00.01.019.120

If there is any other info anyone needs for possibly helping me with this issue please let me know and I'll get it.

Perhaps there's a way I can flash a newer SW version since this seems like a Pre-Release of it?

Thank you!

Similar situation here using an Alcatel One Touch Fire.

In my case hapened two things: a) The phone suddenly restarted or b) The phone get frozen

With browser, facebook, twitter.

Is possible that this issues has been reported to be fixed in the next release?

I found that random operating errors, etc., got fixed when I reset the phone. It was a pain since I had to redo everything, but some persistent issues disappeared after that. To do that, select Settings -> Device Information -> More Information-> Reset Phone.

Be aware that you will lose everything you've added since you've gotten the phone. All email, calendar, etc., information will be erased and all apps you downloaded will have to be down loaded again. For me, The reset still didn't fix the update issue, but it made things world that didn't work before.

eBay US ZTE Open - Twitter app crashes are almost reproducible. They happen at random on both the FxOS build that ships with the device and when flashed to the latest 1.2 preview. I can pretty much always get it to crash with either version of the OS by

  1. Opening the tweet box to post a tweet
  2. Attaching a picture.

If I want to tweet a picture, I have to

  1. Take the picture and save it in the Gallery
  2. Open the gallery app and share the picture on Twitter
  3. Add the tweet text and press the Tweet button.

It still usually crashes, but sometimes it manages to post the tweet before the crash.

I haven't had any other app crash on me. At some point I want to try reproducing this with the emulator.
