FRF91 update is buggy

After updating to FRF91, I notice two things.
1) My phone froze at least 3 times since the update when I tried to make a phone call. I had to remove the battery and restart it.
2) My calls are now less clear even with my blue-tooth. When I call someone, they and I will hear static. Sometimes the static is really bad. (no, I am not holding it the wrong way )
Anyone have similar issues?
My Nexus One is NOT rooted.
stock 2.1 to FRF50(manual install)->FRF83(manual install)->FRF91(OTA install)

No issues here. Clean install.

I would agree it seems buggy to me also; it could be the manual update path of updating, but im def getting some wonkyness.
When im on edge at my house, it always seems like WIFI is on demand and not connected (This differs from what my phone used to do and i also have wifi to never sleep); so when i try to access something intially i get a network error then the Wifi connects; then i connect even though im on edge which used to connect albeit slow.
A slight jerkiness when I longpress to remove widgets; don't remember that one previously.
Very erratic battery life; seems to be due to network switching from 3g to edge to wifi; can't really confirm that though; not real rogue apps on my device that are running, but who knows.
Car dock has been giving some force close issues from time to time which didn't really occur previously.

FRF83 more stable
I was thinking of trying to go back to FRF83 as that seems more stable.
I will first try to do a factory reset and see what happens after that.

let me know how that works out; I may do the same. Maybe go back and ota update.

I applied the full FRF85B when I did mine, and wiped cache / format user data from the boot loader. That cleared up issues.

gmail stopped working properly for me.

I have had some issues with my phone freezing up too but my trackball would still flash when i got alerts. I think it might be related to trackball alert because now that I have uninstalled it i haven't gotten any freezes.

I did the factory reset and I no longer have any problems. I am still waiting to see if my dialing still freezes randomly though.

I'm still on frf83 and found that flashing the frf91 gapps has somewhat reduced the freezes/reboots.

My XDA app freezes for a couple of seconds before it responds. Is this app up to date for frf91?

1. Going into Gmail it takes forever to display emails (usually shows the "loading icon" for 10-20 seconds) as if it is only then connecting to the server and downloading new/old emails.
2. Caller ID still does not keep settings when rebooting.
3. Task Managers don't actually seem to kill tasks anymore. Have tried multiple with settings to auto-kill 10 minutes after the screen goes off ... 5 hours later the programs are still running. Obviously just KILLS battery life.

Yeah, obviously, you're using auto-kill, it probably tries over and over and over when they don't actually close.
Stop using auto-kill. Even if it worked you will get less battery life by killing tasks. Read up about it. Only reason to EVER kill something is if it isn't acting nicely and has a bug that keeps using CPU or keeps the phone awake.

Factory Reset works almost all the time
If you got problems after update you should allways wipe (factory reset)

FRF91 freezes 5 times daily?

What is going on here? It either freezes when:
1) slide-to-unlocking
2) switching between programs
3) google sync icon shows up in notification bar
4) in apps
Need to pull battery all the time! What's going on?
I've had this ever since the FRF50! I'm so annoyed and want to go back to 2.1, but I do love the battery life I'm getting with FRF91.
Any help please?

Sorry, realized I posted this in the wrong forum. Can MODS transfer the thread to Q&A?

I'm getting freezes on the same situations you have posted. However not with the same frequency as you. Mine is 1-2 daily.

strange, my phone is stock and ive had none of these issues, i actually thought my battery life had worsened since 91. It seems like the green meter doesnt drain as quick but the actual percentage drains faster than ever for me, at least i think so

This should unusual and should not be happening. Wipe everything and reflash.

That's Strange... I haven't had any freezes since installing the FRF91 OTA.

Yepp, same here! Never had a single freeze/lock-up since I manually updated to FRF91 from EPF21.

Hardware Issue
Seem to me you either have a defective apps or widget, a defective SD or a hardware issue like defective video ram or something like that, you could try to use a benchmark app like quadrant this may help pinpoint the exact subsystem that cause crash (video, cpu, ram) and try running stock OS with almost nothing loaded ...
This is assuming you are running from a clean install, When you have issue it's always a good idea to clean install (full wipe etc...)

Try to go to bootloader (press and hold trackball when power on), then go to recovery and clear out cache.

Mine is stock and sometimes it freeze when I tried to unlock. I had to turn the screen off and on 1-2 times to make it work again

Following your advice and let me monitor for a day or so. If doesn't work I will wipe everything and reflash.
Thanks!

wipe everything and flash both FRF91 and the latest gapps.

1. How many app you have and 2 are they on your SD? If you have alot of apps ittaking up your internal space causing you to freeze.

I actually installed spare parts the same day i installed stock frf91, so i am not sure who is the culprit. It didnt happen today, but froze yesterday and the day before.
turned off all the animations (transition/window) to get maximum speed out of my n1 using spare-parts maybe thats causing the craziness no?

Same here, 2 or 3 times per days.
I have found that cpu is burned by com.android.email ! This apps eat all cpu power when there is no wifi/data connections available and it try to sync mail...
The phone become unresponsive or very slow until connection return or I kill the app.

I have same issues with that process. Setting both gmail and exchange to PUSH solves the problem.

[Q] Galaxy Note GT-N7000 crashing regurlaly how to find out the culprit?

My Note has started crashing regurlaly, I have had it since release and have a lot of software on it. I am not sure when it started happening but it is definatley getting worse as time goes on.
Is there any log file or event browser that can be installed to tell me what is causing the problem?
When I say crashing I mean literally crashing dead not a force close. I either find it in my pocket turned off and then have to hold the power button for an age to turn it on or sometimes it is sat on the desk and I suddenly hear the noise it makes when it re boots.
Any suggestions for finding out what the problem is that don't involve uninstalling software until the problem goes away?!
Thanks

Have you tried better battery stats? It gives a list of processes that have been running.
Definitely strange - do you have an anti-virus program you can run to see if it can help?

That sounds like a Sod (Sleep of Death) issue that's been reported many times b0t with no definitive solution of yet..
Some said changing modem helped, others with changing kernel or even ROM but no consistent solution across all users
Try to fix permissions through advenced menu in recovery but am afraid there is not much I can help with

Omfg, I don't think your alone cause I have the exact problems at times when the note just freezes up and you have to manually boot up...lets hope the upcoming pics update will solve this ongoing problem... I'm getting this about 3-4 times a week

it is starting to make the phone a liability as I keep finding it turned off in my pocket!
Is there no software that will produce a crash log of some sort?

this is driving me nuts. The phone is unusable.... is there no possible solution??
At this point I will try anything. It crashed during the night on Thursday, didn't restart and so there was no alarm and I was late for work!

Please post your current configuration Kernel, Anti Virus program if any, undervolting, overclocking ?

By any chance are you using easy task killer... if you are just change the auto optimize to nothing - I did that and it stopped sleeping...if your problem is persisting then you could just do a factory reset and use default settings...

My note recently started crashing as well, whenever i turn on my mobile data plan or the wifi it will crash right away
However this is ironic because when ever i put my mobile in charging mood than i have no problems at all.
So im thinking ,is this the battery problem or the software problem?

If the meter say less than 1850mAh in full charge than u need a new battery.

Incredible S screen turns on and off constantly

Hi.
I have had my Incredible S for about six months and from about 3 month the screen started turning off and on constantly. Its not rebooting ,but it is only the screen that is turning on and off. I suspected the small button on the top was stuck but it doesn't seem like that is the problem.
once i changed the ROM the device works fine for about 2 weeks and then the problem reappear again "screen turning off and on constantly"
I've tried to reboot the device, turn off the device , remove the battery,
Change the ROM:
I used:
Nik_IncredibleS_TriNiTy_SensationXL
Android Revolution HD
Runny Droied by PVTEM
Virtuous Affinity
and the problem reappear again after about two weeks from the new ROM.
I checked out all the connectivity option( GPS: OFF, Mobile Network: OFF, WI-FI: OFF .........)
Is there anyone else who have had this problem or can anyone help please?
Thanks.

Off hand I would start looking at which apps you have installed and have running. It sounds like you may have a misbehaving app that is not causing the phone to go completely to sleep.

I had a simular problem on my old HTC desire it was a dodgy app but not a random game or app or anything it was down to having to many apps and it was a app I updated for example facebook
Only thing that solved it was either taking off all apps one at a time or doing a full wipe but since I was giving it away to someone I did a full wipe it did the trick they ain't complained so far
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using xda premium

Even i had the same situation "Screen turns on automatically" .. i was thinking it was hardware fault..but after uninstalling few culprit apps..it was resolved..take a good look on the apps which are installed on you phone..
As sharkman3d said full wipe is best option..

thank you all for your help ..... next time i will try to remove the app before reinstalling new ROM

WiFi Problems?

I've got this problem with WiFi. At times, when I enable it, the phone slows down a lot, and opening apps take longer than usual. There's also visible slowness when moving around homescreens.
Also, at this point I can't see to turn off WIFI. from both, power toggles and from Settings. It just hangs there and sometimes crashes, otherwise, it takes a few minutes before it gets disconnected, after which the slowness is gone. Does anyone else have this problem ? And were you able to fix it ?

Are you running the stock rom? I had that happen with tunesync once but you didn't mention using that, have you tried doing a factory reset?

Yes I'm running the stock ROM (for now ). I never used tunesync so its not that. I thought about a factory reset but thought I'd hold onto that thought in case someone else had a fix for it
