[Q] strange occurences post-flash - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

about an hour ago, my galaxy had only been rooted. between then and now, i've backed up my apps, flashed a faster kernel, and flashed it up to a gingerbread rom.
something strange has happened during this, and now not only did a lot of things no longer when restored (root explorer), but my phone seems to have a problem with background music, strangely enough.
speedx and fruit ninja seem to play fine with all the sound effects, but no background music plays! i mean, that's definitely something i can live with, but it just hints at lots of other hidden things wrong. has anyone else experienced this?

If it was ok before you flashed then its the flash/rom .
Even though Gingerbread is BETA not heard of your problem so far .
best is factory reset .
#Followed by a new flash if still wrong.
You do not mention any details regarding what you flashed

Aha. Finally someone with the same issue. I am missing the background music in fruit ninja too. Reinstalling does not fix the problem either. I would try reflashing, but I am having my first exam on Monday, so I can't spare the time at the moment.

I'm running debusrom g1. I'll maybe try flashing another rom and see what happens. Good to know I'm not alone with this.

Froyo instability?

So I love froyo and for the past week that I've had it (via ota) it has been really great, but today I began having these sudden problems:
I can't install certain apps (market or sideloaded), even though I have plenty of room for them.
Random apps that are normally stable just crash out of the blue.
The phone just keeps slowing down and things are taking longer than they should for both 2.1 and 2.2.
The phone crashed today, meaning it decided to reboot on its own accord, once when I was running a few apps at once (something that I do almost every time I pick up the phone) and was switching between them, the second time was when I had some background processes and I was browsing the web.
I was just wondering if anyone else was experiencing these problems, and if you are did it just happen suddenly one day like me or was it from the beginning? I also want to know if anyone has suggestions or a diagnosis that I should consider before emailing google.
Thanks for all the help,
Liam
Try resetting the phone to Factory (Settings-Privacy). Or if you're rooted...Wipe.

Does that wipe apps, settings and all other data, and is there a way to get it all back?

[Q] Occasional music lag

Hi.. I have a question regarding music stutter issues with my Bell i9000. On the stock music player. Im currently running android 2.1 stock rom, rooted and one click lagfixed. I noticed it happens when im doing cpu intensive tasks, aka a bunch of things running at the same time.. For the time i wrote this thread it happened twice. I just wanted to know whether this is normal or if someone else experiences the same.
also. . When i download applications from the market, after the download finishes the phone becomes barely responsive and only goes back to normal when the message 'successful indtalation of -APPNAME-. This usually lasts from 10 to 20 seconds, and it happens almost everytime.
Would greatly appreciate if anyone could link me some useful info regarding flashing as i am a complete noob.
Thanks in advance
any ideas anyone
I have the exact same issue you described so I assume it is "normal" in a way. I'm guessing it is linked to the crappy RFS file system, have you tried a lagfix?
same experience too.

yes... I have the One Click Lag Fix by RyanZA.. it helped with general lag, but i still suffer from slowness at times, and music stuttering.
no one else has this issue?
I have occasional stutters too. so I went back to my iPod, lol.

[Q] Periodic slowdowns in all apps

I have a Galaxy S i9000M, the Bell Vibrant in Canada. Ever since I got it I get slowdowns while I'm using it. I've had this happen most noticeably in a few games but it also happens in the browser, market, etc.
I'm currently running Darky's ROM 9.2 with Voodoo lag fix but I've also run Darky's 9.1, tried turning on and off the lag fix, and also had this happen with the stock firmware.
When these slowdowns occur everything becomes less responsive and screen updates slow a great deal, both in games and scrolling.
Once a slowdown has started I can either wait it out and it will sometimes resolve itself. Otherwise I usually drag down the notification bar or open a new window and return to where I was and everything's fine. For example in Robo Defense when this occurs I simply open the in-game options menu and immediately return to the game and everything's usually fine for a bit again.
Can anyone suggest anything that could cause this or any way to search for others having an issue like this? I've tried searching around and haven't really found anyone with an issue that sounds like mine.
Problem before or after first custom rom flash .

Both before and after. With stock firmware I had this issue then also with both Darky's ROM 9.1 and 9.2 I still have this issue.
SD card failure ??? multiple posts on here might be worth a look at .

Lag time while playing games on N6.

Has anyone experienced this? While playing Madden Mobile it lagged quite a bit.
Yep! I have encryption disabled on mine and I have been seeing a lot of stuttering in games. I am not very happy with the performance I am seeing.
could also be that those games are not update to work with 5.0 yet. I haven't got my phone yet but if this is the case with most games, I will be disappointed.
I've been playing Soul Calibur (on sale for $4!!! Go go go!) and I was expecting it to lag. It didn't in fact the overall experience was awesome. That is why I wanted a Nexus phablet!
haven't experienced any game lag with Kingdom Rush Origins.
I'm seeing lag and stutters on Plauge Inc. and Asphalt 8 so far. I haven't tested other games as of yet. It's getting annoying. I might wipe everything and re-flash the stock image to see if it helps at all. What are you guys running right now? I'm rooted and un-encrypted on a 64GB Cloud White.
It could also be the apps themselves like Prod1702 suggested. I'm going to do a comparison with my co-workers N6 before I flash.
Update 1: I'm also seeing the stutters on the boot animation, co-worker is not on his 64GB MB. He is rooted and encrypted and has not changed DPI. I'm going to reflash stock and see if the issue persists.

Stock 32gb
Okay so another update for you OP. I re-flashed with the stock image and did a (manual) full wipe of the userdata using the Nexus Root Toolkit. Also did root and removed encryption again with some manual flashing.
So far no stuttering in Plague Inc like it was before. Going to re-download Asphalt 8 to make sure. If that tests well, I'm going to slowly add things back to see if I can find what caused the problem.
Update 1: Added all google accounts and exchange accounts back, also re-installed my android wear stuff so far. Still no stutter, even after a power off and power on. Perhaps the image from the factory or the OTA update caused some issues with performance. Flashing the image from google via Nexus Root Toolkit seems to have fixed it so far. I'll post if the stuttering returns. Otherwise, it looks good now.

Ill have to try flashing the stock image again too then. I am still using the encryption as I dont have any performance issues in homescreens and such, but most of my games lag pretty bad. it feels like they are running between 20-24 fps all the time. Rebooting doesnt help, closing all apps doesnt help. I was going to try removing encryption but it looks like people have the problem even with that. Ill just have to try reflashing the stock ROM and see if the lag goes away.
I just made a thread about this. Just purchased the new Gta Chinatown Wars for Android and it lags like crazy while driving around. Yet on my N5 it's perfectly smooth.
I'm starting to get real worried here

[Q] TW stopping working, unfortunately

Hello!
TW stops working several times a day, I've haven't managed to narrow down the apps that might crash it (unless everything I use on the phone crashes it). It sometimes crashes in the home screen, in Chrome, in YouTube. The two apps I use the most are WhatsApp and Facebook, and it has crashed when I'm using them, too.
I have the habit of pressing the home button to leave an app, and the phone always takes a little bit to reload all the icons. I know TW lags and stutters for many, this is not a complaint but an observation. I used phase beam as the wallpaper before, so I changed it to a solid black picture. That hasn't helped.
My phone is not rooted, though processes unused are stopped in App Manager.
Any assistance and suggestion would be much appreciated. Thank you.
Reset phone
BAD ASS NOTE 4
Hey guys,
I am facing the same issue, where TW crashes and I receive the message that TW has stopped working, however in my case it happens each time I reboot the phone. Once I OK the error message, TW reloads, and remains stable until I next reboot my baby, which I tend to do once a day, for good measure. This is not the end of the world, something I can live with, yet I do find it irritating that I cannot figure out what is causing this.
Anyone with a suggestion would be greatly appreciated. FYI, I am running stock at the moment.
Regards,
Raziel
I'd be tempted to odin to stock or flash firekat.
Raziel, I cleared TW cache and then wiped the cache partition earlier this afternoon. It seems TW hasn't crashed as often as it usually does, but it has crashed. It might remedy your problem, though, if you haven't tried this already. I'm avoiding resetting my phone.
If you rooted and tw goes crazy on you something went wrong. Delete everything you got. Turn of antivirus software. Download everything. Start by going back to stock then update then root then your good to go. If you start with a bad hicupp it will just keep getting worse.
BAD ASS NOTE 4
ChinWonder dude! Thanks a bunch for this suggestion... I cleared TW cache in Application Manager, then booted into Recovery and proceeded with wiping the cache partition. Honestly I feel like a bit of a noob right now LOL, I should have thought about this myself!! But hey thanks nevertheless, much obliged .
BACARDILIMON, as stated above by the OP, ChinWonder, as well as myself, in both cases the devices are not rooted. Thanks for the effort though . I'd like to add however that all of my previous and current Androids (S2, S3 and Nexus 7 2013) have been rooted, and in the last 2 cases, on day 1... hell I even made my own custom ROM for the S3 based on stock Bell 4.1.1 and stayed on it despite several available upgrades, I was getting such good performance and battery out of it, and FULL compatibility since I used a firmware base from my carrier, which is not the case for most custom ROMs found here, since none of them (or close to) are using Bell, but AT&T in most cases. From my experiences, I was always getting issues receiving voicemail notifications when using those. Long story short, I have been on the flashing bandwagon for a few years now, and tweaking the hell out of all my devices up to now, but this time, I feel this is the perfect (ok nothing is perfect) smartphone for me, as is, stock, and it performs like no other device I've had until now, and battery is just incredible!! getting regularly well over a day of charge, mostly average 36 hours, with 6 to 8 hours screen on time!!! WOW!!! seriously for the time being, I don't feel I want to root and flash and all that jazz, but instead I just want to enjoy this beast, the way Samsung thought of it, for a little while.
Again ChinWonder, thanks!
Raz
