Android Studio Causes System Freeze

matt-hires · December 28, 2025, 10:52pm

Hi there,

I’m experiencing a strange problem that I haven’t been able to debug or investigate further.

When I open Android Studio, the entire system freezes. I can’t use my keyboard at all (no SysRq keys or TTY switching).

I haven’t found any indication of a kernel error in the logs.
Do you have any suggestions on how I can investigate this further?

Here is my system configuration:

Android-Studio:

What I’ve tried so far (without success):

Using X11
Disabling Nvidia Drivers
Reinstalling Android SDK and Android Studio
SSH from a remote machine to get more logs

Can you please point me in the right direction or give me more hints on debugging this?

here is a sample of the kernel logs before the crash:

@matt-hires Hi, is this the tarball or flatpak version?

matt-hires · December 29, 2025, 5:56am

@malcolmlewis
The tarball version.

Additional Info:
It is working perfectly fine on my thinkpad laptop with the same OpenSuse Tumbleweed and Kernel Version.

I also tried to use the LTS Kernel.

matt-hires · December 29, 2025, 7:15am

Just tried the flatpak version - also freezes the system.

Millesimus · December 29, 2025, 9:23am

I remember a similar experience. Iirc it wasn’t really freezing the whole system but killing all access to USB (which is almost a freeze since none of my input devices would work anymore).

matt-hires · December 29, 2025, 9:36am

Hmmm… that could also be issue in my case.

How did you solve it?

Millesimus · December 29, 2025, 9:44am

I think I solved it by withdrawing USB access via Flatseal. I might be mistaking, though, it’s been a while.

matt-hires · December 29, 2025, 7:03pm

Another test:

it also happens with an opensuse-tumbleweed-live-system as well as an manjaro-live-system.

so i guess it’s a bios/hardware issue?

Hi!

I have the same issue after update Android Studio:

Downgrade Android Studio to previously version didn’t help me. I think it’s a system freeze and not a USB problem because the text cursor in the window stops blinking.

Problem is the Android SDK.

Try to remove the installed SDK folder on $HOME/Android/Sdk and android studio will work without freezing.
(you have to cancel the “install android sdk” wizard on startup)

When you start adb start-server from shell - which also android studio does in the background - it freezes the whole system on my side.

I am now trying to install a previous version from android sdk.

Edit:

When you start adb start-server from shell - which also android studio does in the background - it freezes the whole system on my side.

At least when “all needed parts” of the android sdk are installed.

I am now trying to install a previous version from android sdk.

I am now trying to install android sdk parts manually one after the other, to check which one is responsible for the issue.

I found the problem, it is indeed adb from android platform-tools:

The problem was introduced with the last update from 36.0.0 → 36.0.2
(There are no release notes for this update, so I can not even tell what might have been changed)

On my system the update mentioned is now listed “available” as i rolled back to 36.0.0:

Reproduction

run adb start-server
wait 1-5min
system will freeze completely as described in this post

I also tried to check the logs of adb:
env ADB_TRACE=all adb logcat

without success … no logmessages when the system freezes.

Fix

Assuming your Android-Sdk is in the default location: $HOME/Android/Sdk

Download 36.0.0 Platform-Tools from https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-linux.zip (be careful, “latest” currently points to 36.0.0, which might not be the case in the future)
Remove platform-tools folder from $HOME/Android/Sdk/platform-tools
unzip downloaded platform:
unzip platform-tools-latest-linux.zip -d ~/Android/Sdk

This is my currently working installation of Android-Sdk:

@h8leet please let me know if this also fixes the problem on your side

h8leet · December 30, 2025, 10:56am

@matt-hires thank you!

I also downgraded the platform-tools to the 36.0.0 version before your message and the freezing issue seems to have been resolved. Working with the running adb server for 30 minutes now.
