I understand there are many lag fixes, but i think my issue may be past that
My SGS is very very sluggish lately and was before
I'm constantly finding myself at 100% cpu usage (finding out from android system info app) and its making the phone so sluggish, not only is it embarrasing to hold in my hand... but makes me think about suicide (even my htc vogue wasn't this bad)
Reason i even go close to saying the htc vogue comment is, if my vogue lagged... i would press the reset button.. and quick boot back up and all would be well.. but the SGS once after i remove battery and put it back in, it still has very sluggish boot time and isn't as smooth as before
I AM on the latest firmware btw... this is the info i grabbed from Android System Info
The process is android.process.acore (using 100%) which comes from package org.adw.launcher
The EXACT same thing happened with Launcher Pro which is why i tried adw launcher... i thought it might've been launcher pro to begin with, which is why i did the switch.. but now im having same problem
First launcher pro, now adw
I'm guessing the problem is something else..
-- is this lag the one everyone seems to be having? Hence the "lagfixes?"
I applied Ryans lag fix via apk and no difference at all
Is there a way i can dump log / info / apps so maybe we can trace this down?
I LOVE the phone and constantly show off its abilities, but lately its been doing this and making me look like a jackass haha
Appreciate the help!
What's is your quadrant result? But the 100% cpu is abnormal, you need to solve that first.
Did you get that when if you use the touchwiz launcher?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
touchwiz is smaller.. but I'm currently waiting for it to get to that point of lag again (probably in another hour or two) and i'll manually kill adw and launch touchwiz to see how it works
I just ran quadrant with 1808 and i got error while it was showing my result saying internal error during benchmark execution with a close button
I did it again.. got 2198 but same error
... Before i used to get 2200 and before lagfix it was 880
I'll wait for the 100% lag (i just rebooted) and try again and update
Which firmware are you running?
Sounds like you need to do a reflash and format. Try giving jm1 rev.3 a shot as that is by far the best fw to date.
The latest stable firmware on kies, or from here?
From Kies... JH2
I'm on Bell btw, got the GT-I9000M
Toss3: I guess if there aren't any ideas, i'll do a full backup with titanium... and try reflash/format and see how that works... if not its either phone hardware wise or some app that i have
Sounds like a homescreen widget that is doing a ton of processing and pushing your CPU up to 100%. It believe would show up under the launcher, cause widgets run on the homescreen.
that is also one of my theories.. just dont know the easiest way to figure out what it is..
only way i can think is to delete all and slowly add one by one

Could just be a bad phone? How long have you had it for? Can you get it replaced?
i got it i think day or two after launch

You don't need to delete all, you can't have too many widgets that could potentially be burning that much CPU, although if you do that'd be my place to start .
Think about it logically... Widgets that need to poll data (facebook/twitter/RSS) and widgets that use a lot of RAM (anything pretty/animated). My inclination is that you have something set to poll very frequently (1min) that is also trying to pull a lot of data at a time so that its not finishing one full pull before it starts the next one.
If that still doesn't do the trick do a backup and reflash (even to the same FW version is fine) and set it up with the absolute bare minimum of widget and homescreens. See if the problem remains with NOTHING, which it shouldn't, then refill over the course of a few days.
Alternatively, you could just try autokiller on agressive. Your problem is obviously coming from an errant process that you aren't knowingly using. Don't see why autokiller won't keep it stomped down.
i dont have any widget with a low update frequency
i have facebook.. vlingo button.. beautiful home and weather... pure calendar.. stock youtube. . google search. batterylife and a brightness toggle
the rest are just contact or app shortcuts
ive tried killing widget processes as well but that hasnt done much help
today ill experiment a bit more though
The phone is really testing my patience though, constantly having full UI lock ups
Hi,
Today, I had self reboot after a recieved phonecall. the other side ended call and my screen stood black and then rebooted.
I had similar problems before, either this would happen or screen just stood black until I pull out the battery, but I was pretty sure it was because of Roadsync.
I allready explained everything here:
kulen said:
I have crashes with stock SE ROM.
and I suspect it has something to do with Roadsync and exchange mail.
I noticed that receving mail and talking to phone at the same time crashes my phone.
So I suspected on Roadsync
So tried to upgrade it, but it crashed again
then I upgraded ROM (to the latest official 2.1), and it did it again, but just once for now.
I suspected it has something to do with Exchange protocol and (or) this ROM or something. But I tried Touchdown and it didn't crash so I know it's Roadsync problem (because if touchdown can work Roadsync should too).
Unfortunatelly I have to use Roadsync because it's SE included, and touchdown needs to be payed.

This time I didn't recieve a mail and I wasn't looking mail or something when this happened.
I have this:
E15i
2.1-update1
M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-534004015
2.6.29
[email protected] #1
2.1.1.A.0.6
ZD Box task killer reports this applications when my phone is on, and I believe it's all that's active (but it doesn't show SE included apps):
Alarm Clock Plus
Tasker - just installed - no profile added
XDA
ZDbox
I also have Roadsync Exchange and Gmail syncing all the time.
Did anybody experience something similar, and what could be the problem,
SE android, apps, syncing, hardware ...?
It's very important for me to have reliable phone, so I would like to solve this problem.
I can't recreate problem, and it only happend second time since I upgraded software a few days ago.
So if somebody has the same problem please post your experience, maybe we'll come to conclusion easier together.
thank you!
Are you living in stone age dude?
First of all, if you dont want custom ROM (wich I suggest you)
ROOT YOUR PHONE, second install System app remover from market, and remove all stock apps that can be removed. (Dont touch gapps).
You can easily find isntructions here on this very forum, it's sticky!
My opinion is - install some custom ROM - try Elelinux or Floyo v0.20 by Racht. Much more stable and faster than stock.
I had same problem like you. Now it's gone.

Well,
I have had HTC Touch Cruise for a few years and I could throw it away a month after I bought it if there were no XDA and custom ROM's.
So, no I don't live in stone age, and I'm not new on XDA and (or) with custom ROM's
The thing is, as I said, I need phone to be reliable, because of my work.I can't play with it, root it, test ROM's or so, because I'm on call support, which includes weekend and night. so I need to catch some time to play with it.
Until then I must use stock ROM, and I'm just gathering information about X8.
And to be honest I want to use stock ROM for some time until I get familiar with phone and android and I'm sure all hardware is ok.
If this is not android problem but, let's say, Roadsync (or hardware or something else) problem then it could happen on custom ROM's too.
so it would be nice to find out what's the problem, if possible
Thank you for your answer, and please tell me more details about problem you had.
did you just have custom reboots, or freezes or what?
did you use Roadsync or any other Exchange mail?
did you try to find out what it was before you installed custom ROM?
thank you
I didnt use any of it, my phone rebooted frequently. After calls too. And it was running in a background.
So, you want reliable phone...
You must root to uninstall these apps. Try it. Its maybe a solution.
Install custom rom without overclock if you want REALIBLE phone. Belive me.
I'll post you all things you need, it will take an hour of your time.

I do plan to install custom ROM. otherwise I would report this to SE also.
but I thought if we figure out what causes this it could help others and maybe on custom ROM's too if there's the same problem.
I was thinking of installing racht's floyo 0.20, but I will not be able to do this until next week for sure. and I still have to figure out how to sync phone with exchange server after that, because I don't want to pay for a new application and I don't want to use cracked one.
I didn't understand what was running in the background for you, and which applications do you think I should uninstall?.
I can uninstall all but the most suspicious - Roadsync because I don't have alternative for it
and even that I won't risk doing at least until next week
but uninstalling SE included apps one by one and checking if phone still reboots is a good way to start searching for a problem. only thing about that is that it only reboots once in a few days so it would take a looooot of time and I wouldn't be sure.
or maybe I could uninstall all of the apps and use a phone for a few days to see if this happens again. and then start searching for a particular app that causes reboot, if it doesn't reboot without apps
but it's too much time consuming for one man (or even a few) that need that phone for everyday use.
I guess if somebody doesn't post a solution I will have to wait until I install custom ROM.
or maybe really post a problem to SE - I don't believe they will do anything about it but maybe it's good if they know people are not happy with their phones.
Got to think about it
Dare-Devil Inside thank you for your help. I appreciate it.
I already downloaded everything I need a few days ago, except the ROM itself.
but if I need some kind of advice I will contact you
I also remember having some reboots when i used the stock rom...
Believe it or not, from the last month that nobodyatall found the sd card removed problem, custom roms are the best... not to mention dioxanh's modules...
I also believe that custom roms may still become better...
Yours GreatApo

They ARE better.
Look this way: we have fully functional custom roms with NO bugs (ok, tiny bugs like compass not working in gmaps and DSP manager is broken) and it's Froyo-based wich automatically means it's better than stock wich is Eclair. Overall, it's much more stable, smoother and faster to use than stock.
Also, custom ROMs are very smooth now (thanks to doixanh and his MDDI lag fix)
And an another thing: no self-reboots at all... when my phone slows down I use ATK and Speed Boost. (Or Fast Reboot app)
Also I run Cachemate once a week.
@kulen: so, before installing custom, root your phone and remove RoadSync and other unused system apps. (Don't uninstall Google apps, phone.apk and similiar)
EDIT:
P.S.: PM me, but in Croatian please, I'm sick of English
I thought all of the SE stuff would be gone when I update custom ROM?
and what app should I use instead of Roadsync for syncing mail with exchange server?
All apps that I found needs to be payed. HTC has exchange support in mail app so maybe some ROM with sense UI could have it included?
I also like Croatian more but this stuff may be useful to others also, so it's better to write in forum.
I'll PM you when I'll have some specific (and I'm sure I'll have) questions that others shouldn't be bored with.

In stock Email app, when you go to log-in, after entering adress and password, it asks you "What type of an account is this?" - One option is Exchange
So, I think stock ROM also have same (or similiar) email app (not gmail) as custom roms so you could try it and see does it works.
If it works, you can update to custom and use that for syncing.
Basically, our email app also supports syncing, like HTC. (seems to support - try first)
By the way: When flashing custom, there's an option backup. So, just before flashing back up your current OS, and flash new one. If you don't like it, or something you need does not work, you can easily go back to your stock ROM and continue using phone as before.

It didn't ask me anything, and I can only chose POP3 or IMAP from menus.
so I guess it could be Froyo stuff if you have that option? or ROM cookers included app from some other phone that supports Exchange natively.

I installed custom ROM. Racht's Floyo 0.20
I had one self reboot, but right after I installed it and configured mail so I'll consider it's no problem if it doesn't happen again.
camera doesn't work and screen need some time to become bright enough.
everything else seems to be working. so I'll be using it for some time now.

Hi All,
I am very new to galaxy tab.
I am running on official gingerbread, flashed following the guidelines on the site. Other than a checksum error it went smoothly and working just fine.
I have another problem though. When I hold it in portrait mode, trying to move up and down with my finger causes the screen to shake.
Somerimes more sonetines a little less but it is always there.
In landscaepe mode it almost does not exist, working smooth.
I tried doing a lot of search but could.not find anything on it.
unfortunately I did not pay attenrion if it was hapening on stock froyo, did not stay on that long enough.
Charging or not does not affect it.
Being suspicious about screen protector I rwmoved it but no change
Did anyone else experience anyrhing similar?
Thanks in advance for help.
Same problem here
Hi, I have the same problem here, I did woked on froyo for about a day or two, and the problem was not there, I upgraded to Overcome 2.0 and the problem is now there.
Similar to you, on landscape the problem is less evident, but still there.
In my case, on you-tube application, I don't have any shacking.
I hope someone finds a solution, problem seems to be software-based.
I just checked it, you are right, youtube does not present the same problem.
Lets hope for a solution from the experts.
Cheers
anyone?
this shaking is driving me nuts......the screen shakes so much when held down down that it pretty much renders google maps unuseable.
HELP PLEASE!!!
is it a screen sensitivity issue that we can tweak or something?
i've been googling for a month for answers now but no luck...
please please...
Similar topic in XDA
Hi guys, there is a similar topic here in XDA:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14354988&posted=1#post14354988
I have the same problem in my Galaxy Tab, and I show in a page in fgfaria.com
I now suspect it may be a deffect in some specific feature in some library used by some apps and not used in other apps.
I installed Android SDK in my PC, and created an simple app following a tutorial, with a list of countries that can be scrolled up and down. In this very simple app, the problem doesn't happen, just like youtube.
I've found an app that could potentially solve the problem, but my GT is not rooted, and can't use it. It's called "ILITEK Touch Utility" and it's available for free in Android Market.
Let me know if it's useful for any of you.
Regards,
Fabio
My tab does exactly the same thing as per your weblink.
The app i have download but once i hit the calibrate button, I somehow get denied access.
Any way around it? This shaking is getting old......sigh
Software, not hardware
Hi all,
In addition to touch test apps and youtube app, there are some other apps that don't present the problem. One specific interesting case is the one of the HelloListView tutorial presented in Android Developers website.
I've followed the tutorial, and created this illustrative app that just creates a list and allows you to scroll up and down. This specific app doesn't present the problem we've been discussing. I've made it available for download as apk file in the end of that same testing page (fgfaria.com)
That application being so simple and not presenting the problem, and the other apps that also don't present it, makes me think that the problem may appear when some specific library gets included in an app. Possibly something related to hardware acceleration, for example (just guessing, no specific reasons to believe that).
If only we could isolate the cause of the problem, we could notify Google and/or Samsung and influence a new patch release.
This is as far as I have gone so far. Ideas, reactions?
Regards,
Fabio

Hi Chris, I believe the denied access is because the GT is not rooted. The app must need access to pretty low level adjustments, and only rooting the device would make that possible.
I have the same messages in my GT, but rooting is kind of my last option to solve this.
My current options are:
1) Wait for an official Gingerbread update
2) If that doesn't solve, I'll contact my factory warranty
3) If they deny this is a problem, or if they can't fix it, I'll try rooting and using this app
While the first option is not available, I'll continue my search for another fix.

Another possible explanation for the problem not happening in the app from the tutorial is that libraries being used include some kind of filter not used in problematic apps...
mine shakes but not noticable,.. i didn't notice this on froyo
Hi,
Thank you all for responses. I have been searching too but did not find anything.
However I have a theory.
The screen shaking phenomenon does not happen (or unnoticably little) when you are on a dark screen. Web browser included.
Is this your observation too?
Cheers
mine do shake even if its dark, originally i found this "bug" couple of days ago, when im in bed late at night, i initially thought that the shaking was via my finger, and was surprised to see this post a while ago
Note: My tab is rooted because I'm currently running the Overcome 2.0 RC1 rom.
*major headache *
Fully agree! Mine shakes only in light background! Same problem, but in this case, it looks more like a hardware issue than software (intuitively, at least, hardware is more likely to be affected by screen luminosity than software). The solution though, could be a software filter of fast screen movements...

Hi Guys,
I curently using the AOSP Galaxian soup ROM ([ROM][ICS][4.0.4][AOSP]Galaxian-Soup[GT-7310/7300][beta 1.7.3]) on my Galaxy Tab p7300.
I'm experiencing the following problems and wondering whether anyone can help me.
1. I play a lot of the Story games by Kairosoft. When I load any of the Kairosoft games, the text in the menus and top bar in the games are all in the wrong position. See attached screenshot. Is there any solution to this?
2. When i first loaded the ROM, it would reboot/hang quite a bit. The screen graphics would be fuzzy or jumbled which it would reboot or i would have to restart it. It doesnt seem to happen anymore. Is this due to this being a deodoxed ROM? Should i be concerned?
3. This is not a ROM issues or a problem per say. In the calendars app of ICS, i would like to sync more than the standard 30 days behind. In the options, there is an option for synching everything, this would not be an issue if it was for calendar, but it seems to apply to my email as well. This is huge as I am synching to my work exchange server. Is there any current workaround or do I have to live with it?
Thanks in advance to any help / advice given. I appreciate it.

Dear xda users,
I have quiet some time a problem getting notification message in whatsapp and hangouts (even in the previously version on Google talk).
When i clear all apps with Task Manager. Exit to home screen. meaning, Whatsapp is not running in the background, I get no pushed messages, no notifications. Nothing at all.
I then launch the app and get all my "missed" message ,then exit back to the home screen and now I see the messages and notifications.
The same thing happen when the screen is off,actually it seem it start there.
I have no limitation on the background apps,surf only with 3g and it is happen also with hangouts,it is started a few months back before google update her app,in the old Google talk also.
The most strange thing is when i launch a game,because it uses the internet when i exit from it and not clear my task manger it seems like whatsapp and hangout getting the message for day or two and there again nothing,maybe i imagine i really do not know
My phone model is i9305 with official Samsung Nordic Rom.
i used avast anti virus until couple days ago.
By the way whatsapp+ that i saw here recently could help me in any way?
I really appreciate your help. :good:
want to clear it one and for all to enjoy my phone.
Thanks in advance,
David
Hi David,
you kinda answered yourself, the problem is with the task manager. I suggest reading the following:
http://www.howtogeek.com/127388/htg-explains-why-you-shouldnt-use-a-task-killer-on-android/
Chris Hoffman can explain better than me
BTW it's also says directly on whatsapp that it will not work well with task managers.
Cheers
Dear eytan123,
Thank you for your replay,I want to clarify myself and tell you that i do not use any external task manger,but only the built in one in jellybean.
In addition even when i do not "clear" my ram it still no working,i also compare it to others galaxy 3-i9300&i9305 that use and clear the ram with the built in task manager and still not suffer from this Phenomenon.
I guess Samsung keeps this app because it lets inexperienced users(unlike you and myself, or for that matter anyone in XDA ) the feeling that they can upgrade their performance...anyhow - It's strongly suggested that you don't activate\use ANY task killer.
Why not trying the suggested method for a couple of days? I'm sure your results will be much better
Thanks again for trying to help,but i already try this couple of times before open this thread.
Unfortunately not a single method that i tried was useful to me.
like to hear if you have another idea
upp
bumping a thread more than once every 24 hours is against the rules. don't post until you read them
Just noticed you asked about the whatsapp+ - it's not supposed to make things any better, only customizations. And you said the problem persists at the new hangouts.
If you're certain that your internet connection(cellular of course) is working good, before I suggest wiping and re-flashing or trying another rom I suggestthat you use the following app(it increases battery usage in a VERY MINOR way):

Hi,
Thanks eytan123 but this app that you gave me it is just for rooted phones,i do not want to root my phone in this moment,about the rom,it is the same problem that i experienced in my previous official rom.
Still glad to hear about this app for future notice
Thanks hello5629,if you mean to clear app data i already try this also
You wanna tell me that only my phone suffer this problem?
Just making sure - have you tried to uninstall and reinstall the apps ?
yep,several times..
Well I guess that leaves you with factory reset your phone.
But since your'e not rooted keep in mind you'll lose all your apps..
ya i know,i do not really want to do it,i think i will open a thread in general android forum,maybe there when it is not only i9305 community,maybe some will have the answer.
Thanks again for your effort
