Hi All
I have yesterday updated my T-Mobile UK Galaxy S to Froyo using the regedit method.
All seemed good and I was very pleased with myself for doing it!
But....
Since the upgrade I have had many Force Close's and there seems to be a fair amount of lag.
The main issue is the messaging app opens but when you go to open a message it FC's.
I am running Launcher Pro so will try running standard Samsung launcher for a bit.
Anyone else had this?
Do a factory reset!!
Yeah I too had loads of problems after the upgrade like you. Very slow, crashing, reboots. Although TWlauncher never worked properly for me before, even on 2.1.
Did a factory reset using the 3button reboot and it's been fine since. I was surprised that this didn't clear the memory card, so still have all my files - which I wasn't expecting.
Thanks guys that did the trick.
And forced me into a bit of phone housekeeping as well!
I am on SGS #2 atm and im trying to stress test it using the HD video method. I have noticed random apps starting to FC. I guess my real question is, Are there certain apps that are more likely to FC compared to others? I noticed the phone gets REALLY slow at loading as it reaches the drive capacity, however, once i delete all the junk videos, the speed returns to normal. Ive also noticed the FC happens when i open too man apps.
Are there any other clear indicators?
Thanks!
Yes,
It's about to go.
Fair well~
Mine did that not too long ago. I was playing Game Dev Story and it got all laggy. So i reboot and i started getting loads of force closes. COuldnt even boot because LauncherPro kept fc. so i reset to factory and speed came back and no fc so far ( maybe one per day..) Strangely , this came right after flash from ODIN for the first time. Although i only flashed a new KERNEL which is speedmod. I NEVER had any problems before that and had my phone since OCT. Anyways, updated to K12O and still on a stock - rooted JL2. Lets pray for the better!
Yep.
Mine started to force close on my email app. Then when I got it working, I tried to attach a photo to an email when the email and picture gallery crashed. Restarted the phone and I kept getting all kinds of FC's on different apps every 1 minute or so. Reinserted the battery, turned it on and it was all over.
I just want the damn thing to die so i can send it in for a new one from samsung...

Well the last thing that did it for me was I had backed up all my apps with myroot then formatted the internal card. Loaded all my apps back to my phone, then I did a mass update on all the apps at the same time. That's when my phone was unresponsive and FC's occurred consistently until the entire phone crashed.
Hello Community!!
I am seeing a problem with my Revo, and I'm putting it out here because you guys are good at finding answers.
I am running Gingervolt 1.3 with the blitzkreig kernel installed. I have previously tried Hicks' little ICS responsiveness script.
Here is my problem. Most days after little to moderate use, Phone/text, I have to reboot my phone by either soft reboot (power button) or a hard reboot (battery pull) because nothing at all is responding. By nothing I mean, touch the screen..nothing, open a program...nothing...etc.
It is a slow degrade sometimes where (and my wife has mentioned it using my phone) that the touch screen is really really laggy and non responsive, especially when using a keyboard or even trying to play angry birds.
I have done a full wipe including data, cache, dalvik. I have formatted my internal and removable SD card, I have not used previous backups, instead resorted to downloading programs and installing from scratch.
This is a very frustrating issue. If it was a computer I'd say either the processor was overworking, or the ram was used up. But since we don't use program killers in GB I'm kind of at a loss. And I'm tired of having to wipe my phone every few days just so I have meh performance (and no, I'm not hating on the phone, or the rom or any of the developers, nor do I have any interest in changing phones,etc)
I'm just looking for suggestions/solutions etc. I'm sure I missed something in my troubleshooting steps.
Thanks in advance for those who read through this and try to give a hand. I appreciate it.
Wow. Since you've already gone to extreme measures, I'm at a loss. My suggestion would be to freeze the apps you do install to look for a culprit there. Or, don't install any and see how the phone performs.
I restored a nandroid prior to Google's 10¢ apps promo and my phone is back in fine form. It was lagging badly before that. I was rebooting daily. Now I go for days and the phone's solid.

I was experiencing similar issues about a week after updating to blitzkrieg 1.0. I restored from backup and it's been stable since. I just installed 2.0 today, so I'm curious to see if it'll have the same effect.

I can't say yet whether or not 2.0 has added to or taken away from the response type issues. I did have to do a couple of battery pulls yesterday just to get firefox to do anything. I'm going to uninstall that one. I may, just for S&G's do one more factory wipe and put all the tweaks and mods in place before downloading anything but the most essential programs. I did this phone, but the unresponsiveness sometimes can be a real pain.
What do you have it clocked at? I have issues at 1.9 so maybe back it down a bit. I get lots of screen freezes and have had some rebooting issues at 1.9

Currently I have it at 1.7, before when it was really bad, the oc wasn't sticking and I was at 1024, so not overclocked much. I am sure its an app that is causing the problem, but I'm not sure what.
I've never had this type of issue using Blietzkreig or any of the other tweaks so I'd guess you're right in thinking it's an app. Since you've pretty much tried everything else I would say maybe try going back to complete stock then rooting again? That just seems like what I would try if I had tried everything else and nothing worked.
And yeah you definitely don't want to overclock too much because it could definitely damage the hardware of your phone since it's not meant to run at that level. But you said you had it at 1.0ghz so it doesn't seem like that is the problem unless the damage was cause when running at 1.7ghz. I had mine at 1.9 and didn't see any issues except my phone randomly started to vibrate for a while then just restart. It did that twice when i first flashed everything but it seems fine now. I brought it down to 1.0ghz just cuz i'm not really using it now and I don't want it causing any problems with the hardware.
Thanks for the Feedback everyone. I am not sure what the issue is/was/going to be. I think Firefox was a big part of it and I have since removed it. But I am still getting random freezes, almost like the deep sleep while the screen is on. Oh well, maybe I do need to go back to complete stock.
I flashed the 4.2 update zip through twrp recovery and since I've been having random reboots (watching youtube, playing a game, reading a forum, or just doing nothing).
Is anyone else experiencing something similar?

Same here. I had a random reboot while just sitting at the homescreen. Never had that happen before in two months of owning it. N7 has been my most stable Android yet until 4.2...

I just had mine reboot while it was sitting unused on my desk. I saw a flash and looked up and the boot animation was going. I hadn't touched it in at least an hour or two.
Never saw that behavior before 4.2.
Edit: Sorry forgot to add I'm stock. Not unlocked or rooted, stock OTA updates only.

Had the same thing after doing an OTA update (stock). Right after the update everything worked fine. It started to get bad a few hours after I added a second user (just for the fun of it). I had terrible lag and sometimes the N7 just rebooted Today I did a factory reset and now (at least at the moment) everything is fine. N7 has also been my most stable Android, and 4.2 was the first time ever I had to do a factory reset (note that I also have the Transformer Prime which was very unstable and laggy until 4.1 !)
I experienced the same issue, a couple of random reboot since last evening 4.2 update never had before... very annoying

So I did a factory reset and now Play Store keeps giving me an error saying "Update could not be downloaded due to an error" whenever I try to update the system apps, and a similar error when I try to download a new app.
The connection is working, I tested it by browsing with Chrome and by browsing the store itself.
Weird stuff.
update:
I solved the playstore issue by deleting and re-adding my google account.
Random reboot here also. The one that I know of just happened while sitting here at my desk. Noticed the Nexus 'X' boot logo on the screen. Battery life blows now, too.
Did the OTA update to 4.2 the first night it was available. Never unlocked or rooted.
I had one when YouTube was buffering a video
Stock 4.2 . unrooted. I can confirm the random reboots since i upgraded to 4.2
Happened in YouTube and whilst playing Jelly Defense...
Just got one too. Just woke it up and started Google Reader and instantly got the boot screen. Stock OTA, unlocked & rooted.

I'm unlocked, rooted and stock 4.2. I had something similar, I was using my nexus and had 49% battery life when suddenly my battery icon changed to a red exclamation sign !. Then it gave me the message to connect to a charger otherwise the tablet was going to shut-off. Seems weird since I had 49% battery life and almost 10 minutes later gave me that message and power off. Anyone experienced this before?
Yes; random reboots now that the OTA update is more than 24 hours old. Stock OTA, locked and unrooted.
I did a factory reset and it seems that since (about 24h ago), the reboots have stopped.
I'll keep you informed.

stock 4. OTA unrooted and then factory reset to properly set up multi users.
Now the device often does not wake from sleep.
It needs to be hard rebooted by keeping the power button long pressed.
Had my first random reboot last night on 4.2
Stock ROM, rooted, no cwm.

I do believe all these random reboot caused by the apps that are not up to date with 4.2. I have been keep recieving many updates from play store recentely (I just got 12 apps for update when I check the play store).
so I believe if wait for several days and let's all app developers catch up with 4.2 and push the updates the tablet, I have feeling these random reboot disappear.

I believe this is a likely scenario. I'm getting the same kinds of random reboots on my GNex, which was updated to 4.2 at the same time as my N7.
So far 1 random reboot this morning, sitting on my desk doing nothing, looked up saw the boot animation. Hopefully everyone is right about the apps, and that it will be fixed with app updates. It would be nice if there was a way to quickly identify all apps with an issue on 4.2... (on device app that scans it...)
I'm really starting to miss the GPS rapid lock from my Thunderbolt. As soon as I'd start maps up that thing would pinpoint me in my bathroom. Since I've gotten this bionic, it won't even lock on me in my house and it's slow to do it even when I'm outside.
If you haven't tried it, TopNTP is a good app to try. It updates/changes the gps to use only addresses in your area to cut down on the fix time*. It's not instant like you referred to on your thunder bolt, but I've found it to help a lot in my case.
I'll come back and post a link if i run into one again.

typed on a Bionic running Eclipse 1.3 on ICS build 232.
I think that helped a little. It locked on in a couple of minutes. The first time I tried it today.
A couple minutes is really slow, I couldn't say mines ever been that bad, unless of course i was in a position where i wasn't going to get a lock at all.
Just curious, what's your bionic running? Stock ICS, JB? Rooted, ROM'd?

IT's running the Carbon rom
There's not much else i could help you out with, unfortunately. I'm running the same setup as you, and usually get locks in about 15 seconds or less.
I've seen some people mention a free app called gps status i think. It can time how long it takes to grab a lock, and clear & grab new settings for the gps.
I haven't had a look at it myself, but it may be worth a shot if you get a chance. If i find anything helpful, or for some reason start needing to fix mine at some point, I'll pop back in
typed on my Bionic
Might have fixed itself. When I was in Rockford with my parents I uninstalled maps and reinstalled, next thing I know it was locking on instantly.

If you run into this again, I'd recommend a couple troubleshooting tips.
1) Boot to recovery, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, fix permissions. Reboot.
If the issue persists
2) Force close Maps and wipe it's cache and data. You'll have to re-configure Maps as you like.
3) Download GPS Status & Toolbox. Download the GPS data in here before opening Maps or Navigation. This should get you quicker GPS fixes. It's free in the market btw.
I'm having trouble getting my gps to work on cm10.1, I restored a previous backup of 10.1.2 and it didn't work. I've dirty flashed, wiped everything and reflashed, cleared the cache & dalvik, gps status clear, rebooted to stock and it worked, and the gps worked before I installed the backup. Running the latest nightly. Any ideas?

I had a similar problem I posted under CM10.1 ROM topic. What I ended up doing is I boot back to stock (Icarus, actually) and ran GPS Test app. Confirm the baby worked. Went Safestrapped booted back to CM10.1 (slot 1) and ran the same app and this time it worked. It's almost as if there's something "stuck" in the hardware despite using a different ROM.
I just say the lockon was quite a bit slower in the Bionic. My old Droid (original) locks on in about 15 seconds. Bionic under stock ROM locks on in 35-39 seconds, and CM10.1 locks in 43 seconds.
I'll try the recommended app and see if that helps.
Problem is intermittent. I tried that recommended top BTM app and did not see any noticeable changes I reverted back to factory and there are no changes noticeable either. The phone just sometimes refuse to see any satellites the GPS test app shows 0 satellites. If I reboot the phone the GPS make sure a few satellites brawl with low signal and it takes about 2 minutes to get a fix. This did not seems to happen under Ice Cream Sandwich.
