I have noticed over some time that whenever my Google account syncs it causes my CPU to run over 90% and my phone to become extremely slow. I took off two factor authentication and readded my account after reading about it as a possible fix online and it still does it. I'm not sure if I should just bite the bullet and do a factory reset. Has anyone run into this problem before and have a possible fix for it? The issue makes the phone unusable for about 10-15 minutes sometimes.
This used to be a problem on my old phone HTC One M8 and after a factory reset it still did it which is why I'm hesitant to try this again. This makes me wonder if it is a possible account issue but I can't seem to figure out what.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Every phone or rom install I've ever had does this if you sync everything at the same time, a factory reset will most likely not change this. Now if its just doing this randomly like when gmail grabs your emails or something small like that then there might be a problem but if you go into the accounts menu and press "sync now" that's normal.
odd.. i always have everything enabled to sync, and have never experienced this issue. on every android phone that ive owned as well. the nexus 6 has never slowed down while syncing stuff here.
@StykerB do you know of any fix for this? I would think the Nexus 6 has the hardware to support background syncing without suffering from a slowdown.
@StykerB this occurs in the background. I don't ever press sync now.
Well the slow down comes from the syncing using your cpu as much as it can which leaves less or no cpu for the rest of the phone so if the syncing just arbitrarily used less cpu then you're phone would run smoother but the syncing would theoretically go slower.
But if the slowdowns are from just regular background syncing (you aren't force syncing everything) then a factory reset might fix it but try deleting and re-adding your account(s) first
I already readded but it still does it sometimes. However there are times (like now) where the phone runs great. I just wish that it would be like this all the time.

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.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
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)
I'm crossposting this from the official N1 google forums in the hope that someone smarter than me knows an answer.
I installed the dev release of Froyo right when it was available and noticed immediately that my normal 48 hours of battery life had been reduced to ~ 5. Thinking it was just the development release I went back to Eclair and waited for the OTAs to happen. After FRF72 came out, I tried froyo again in conjunction with cyanogen's mod. I still had massive battery drain issues. I decided to wait more. After I heard that FRF91 would be final, I completely wiped the phone back to factory and let it OTA to FRF91. I then installed no mods, no kernels, used factory recovery, everything was factory (except the bootloader of course). I was STILL having massive battery issues. The phone essentially drains from full to 0 in less than 6 hours, and then when plugged in would take over 10 hours to charge to full.
I finally decided to try specifically removing features until I stopped having battery issues. I removed google apps, then all my contacts, then all features of the OS (animations etc) until my last step was stopping my push email from my work outlook server (this was hard for me as I use my phone all the time for work email).
As soon as I tried the phone without Exchange push the result was noticeable. I have even better battery life then I ever did with 2.1 and am now running Cyanogen 6.0 along with several other applications and maintaining excellent battery life. I am really torn though, as I need to have outlook access (and the calender sync is a much needed feature after coming from a blackberry). Am I doomed to run on Eclair forever?
What about sync frequency? Can you lower it?
Yeah that does suck though, I have two online IMAP mailboxes in K9 mail (and weather, google accounts, random other little stuff) and my idle battery usage is around 2%/hr.
I actually noticed this issue on 2.1 when I deleted an exchange account and got dramatically better battery life. I, too, had calendar sync enabled.

I had it set to push, which you would think is the least battery intensive. I have tried longer frequencies, but too long defeats the purpose, and the other settings didn't make a difference as fat as I could see.
Hmm... strange. Exchange push for me isn't that bad, I get about 20-25 hours of battery.
It's the Exchange NOT on push (5, 10 minute interval check) that destroys it. Every once in a while exchange sync process would go into a CPU death-spiral, taking up 100% CPU ALL THE TIME, until I manually kill the process. Needless to say, battery is just destroyed like that.
So as for me, I'm stuck to have to use Push on Exchange =(
have push enabled on my exchange address for work and its still about the same ~20-24 hours.
This is a technical issue that has already been identified with Google.
We have three code tickets that relate to this. Mine was with the SSL certificates. The way that Froyo handles SSL on exchange with or without push can create an infinite loop. This loop keeps your CPU and 3G running constantly.
I have worked with Google to address these issues and they have added the item to the Future Release.
I promise you, this is an identified bug that has been fixed in the future releases.

Thats really good news, thanks. I spoke to a guy at google tech support and got a "huh what" kind of response.
since its an issue that will be fixed later...
have you tried setting up a task killer that will kill exchange every x amount of hours. since its the cpu death lopp that's draining the bat and exchange should restart itself, closing it every x hrs should give you somewhat of a useable phone...
I would create a second gmail account. Have your work email forwarded there, and then see if you can get your exchange calendar to sync to that secondary google account as well. Then just stick to the pushed gmail. I currently have two set up and its working fine, although I did not have to link the calendars.

For most companies that would be a huge security violation.

Ok, I didn't see that mentioned. If that is your case, I would get a blackberry than. I need my work email. 6 hours of battery life does not cut it, I hope google fixes this soon. I have seen careers ruined by the iphone 3g.
I can confirm I have this issue as well. I hope Google fixes this quick as its a pretty serious flaw with an important feature.

If you are rooted there is a libactivator.so you can push to your phone that fixes the issue.
here's the catch, when i had my phone on 4.1 the Xperia with Facebook feature worked flawlessly, syncing contacts photos calendar etc but now i decided to use it on 4.3 again and problems occured, first it's slow as hell, second i can't access Contacts or messages normaly there's a 10 - 15 sec delay or apps don't respond, the phone heats up fast and the sync doesn't, how to say this stops it keeps saying that it's syncing going but it does nothing. First i thought it maybe because i have a lot a friends on facebook but then a friend of mine has the exact phone and firmware and he has more friends of facebook but he doesn't experience any lag of sort or problems it works flawlessly. These problems a accuring for the past few days. I've tried factory reset, phone repair force reset the phone clear cache etc even left the phone on wifi for about 12 hours to hopefully sync completly ( i know alot of time ) still no hope more hickups and crashes. Also it sucks my battery very fast. Can this be a faulty hardware or ? Any type of help would be greatly appreciated cause i kida like the high resolution photos for my contacts, thx in advance guys
Hi,
I had update the phone to the newest Lollipop update from Sony. At the beginning in the first 2-3 days the phone works wonderfull.Verry snappy and responsive.
But after those first days of joy the problems appeared.
The camera become very laggy. The battery drains in 7-8 hours and the phone is overheating. Even I keep the phone in my pocket, it becomes very hot without touching it.
And if I read something on my RSS feed, in about 5 minutes the battery drains 2-3%
I allready saw many people reported thoes esues and it seems that the only solution is a hard reset to factory default.
Witch I will do, because right now the phone is quite usefull and anoing.
My questions for you are:
1- is there any other method but resetting the phone?
2- how do I backup EVERYTHING from the phone? Contacts I can manage with pcCompanion, but how can I save all aps and their data? Games for instance...I'd like to keep my ingame progress.
I'm new to android comming from 5 years of iphone. On IOS this opertion was really simple due to a full backup on cloud. And after a reset - or switch to a new phone - everything was restored as it was from cloud.
Can I do the same thing on android? I wold prefer using google and cloud.
thanks
Google syncs all of your contacts automatically, so after the phone resets, simply log in to your google account and the contacts will be restored. You can do the same with photos/videos and music using google photos and google music. Google can also remember which apps you had installed and re-install them automatically, but you can't do anything about settings. Those will always have to be re-done manually.
I am finding that my apps that send notifications, specifically that I send through LIghtflow, are either not notifying, or doing so 30 min. to an hour late.
I am also finding that installing as well as uninstalling apps are quite slow.
POwer saver is not on; battery optimization is not on for the offending apps; they are set to run in the background.
Anyone else experiencing this? Or any suggestions?
Regarding the slow downloads, I am finding the download finishes (according to the status bars, etc), but it then goes into a state of Install Pending. Can't find anything on that.
For anyone who cares, I have it resolved for the time being.
After 2 factory resets, I remembered back to the days i used to root my phones, and remembered that one strongly recommended task in that process was to delete cache.
So I did a final factory reset and deleted the cache also and all seems to be good.
When this crops up again I will try the cache delete w/o a factory reset and see how it goes.
Not getting much help here but I'll keep this thread upgraded.
It is again not working right. Lightroom is either not notifying or it's doing it 30 minutes late.
Play store downloads but then doesn't install for a period of time.
I'm beginning to think something is wrong with the phone.
This thing is driving me nuts. Following is what's going on, and have seen:
I've gone through 4 factory resets. All works find at first. Having decided that maybe there is an app interfering, I installed an app or two, tested, repeat...with delays between repeats. All seems fine.
But then late into the second day, w/o any installs, I goes haywire again. Symptoms are:
I use DGT GTD for my ToDo list. First thing I will notice is that when I add a new task, it will NOT show up in the widget list, and at the same time it stops notifications.
All apps stop sending notifications to Lightflow...or LIghtflow does not recognize the notifications. Not sure which is the case.
When add a new app on the Play Store, it downloads as quick as normal, but then it takes forever to install.
I installed AVAST, and checked for viruses. Came back clean.
I suspect it could be a phone problem. My Mate 9 works fine right now, with all the same apps. But, when a factory reset results in it working (at least during the short time a tech would evaluate), the phone can't be exchanged.
If anyone has any thoughts. I'm all ears. I'll keep posting, hopefully, ultimately, with a resolution. Maybe it'll help someone.
