I'm running CyanogenMod 3.9.7
And I've noticed that even with the latest STABLE release, after about 1 day my messaging (SMS) client will always try to Force Close on me.
Pretty much 99% of the time I open up SMS and try to type a message or even just read a message, or even just browse the "threads" the response seams VERY sluggish, and it will often lock up after I type the first letter, or try to scroll through the message/threads and pop up that the messaging client is not responding, and gives me the option to force close or wait. Often I wait, and after about 15-20seconds it will go okay untill I either go back to the threads or go into a message, but sometimes it will do it a couple times and I just get fed up with it and put the phone back to "home" and try it again.
Even when I hit force close, when I re-open SMS it'll still do it.
Also, "acore" (I'm assuming this is the "Android Core") will often pop up with a force close/wait box like the SMS does, but it'll be once my phone goes out of "sleep" without my clicking anything else other than menu to get out of the lock screen.
I have restarted the phone multiple times trying to resolve this issue, but it's been going on for a while...
Anyone else experience a similar problem with CyanogenMod?
I want to keep my phone rooted, but if I keep having issues, I'm gonna have to either try someone else's modded firmware, or go back to the stock (unrooted) phone. D:
It sounds like you may have to delete some messages....No one to my knowledge has posted significant problems using CM 3.9.7 and test messaging.
In my experience, the stock messaging app has between a 2000-2500 message limit before you start experiencing severe lag times and force closes. If you have more than this, you might want to consider getting rid of some threads.
If you are no using the default app, you might want to as that might lessen the lag and force closes. You can also try and reflash the CM build to get rid of the acore forceclose messages.
Try a few, or all, of these and report back your results. Hope it goes well.

This batch of posts has some info about that.
I just updated my UK unbranded galaxy s to froyo (JPO) using kies (no hacks, just worked).
I'm now running into an issue with the notifications bar. It was working, then I went to the market and updated some apps, and now it keeps stuffing up. It starts off working fine then something happens, and after that I try to drag it down and it goes down a few pixels then stops. I have to hit the back button to close it in order to continue using the phone.
I thought it was launcher pro having problems with it, so uninstalled and went back to touchwiz. After doing that, it worked for a little while, but now its started it again.
Has anyone got any advice? I'd rather not have to hard reset if possible...
ps, I tried searching but couldn't find anything
I have the same on my international I9000 (JPO) every now and then, also usually after installing apps. Restarting the phone fixes it, but when it happens it's pretty annoying.
Here's assuming that you, like me, didn't wipe your SGS after upgrading to 2.2? I can't be bothered to reinstall everything right now, but I would speculate that after a wipe the issue is gone.

yeah I didn't wipe it, was really hoping to keep everything in tact, but this is annoying me so I'll probably end up wiping it unless someone has a solution for us
this has also been happening to me, anybody got a fix for it? i wiped the phone initially and then backed up the apps with titanium backup which might also be a reason. hoping theres an easier fix around this though!
So even wiping it resulted in the same issue? bugger
I'm also getting this. I did a factory reset before upgrading, so I don't think that's it.
I've found with auto rotation on and touch pro, you can grab the bar, rotate the phone and it will show you just enough of the notification bar to select what you want.
Is there any way to force close the notification bar and reload it with out restarting the phone?

I've gotten this problem a couple of times too. What's interesting to note is that the bar comes down fully and without problem if you activate it via <menubutton>->Notifications.
But of course, that's not available when you're within another program; only works from the desktop. So it doesn't really make this problem less annoying.

ha, yeah thats the same for me too, at least I can see the notifications if I really want to!!
I'm having the same problem with my i9000 with JPM. I upgraded with kies, installed voodoo lagfix and my notification bar freezes every so often. Also screen wont rotate anymore which is a real pain.
I am having the same problem with my galaxy s after upgrading to froyo. I upgraded using the reg edit hack as the phone was branded to 3 in the uk but got tired of waiting for them to release froyo.
Thought it might have something to do with that but i did a factory reset after the upgrade and it hasnt solved the problem.
very strange! any suggestions would be gladly received...

That's interesting because someone told me that installing Voodoo fixed the issue for him. He probably just hasn't run it for long enough then...
I had this, factory reset solved it. Just remember to back up anything important.
Do you have advanced task killer installed? Deinstall it (deactivate also would be enough)and install the version for froyo from the app store that made the trick for mine

Same problem. Usually experience after updating an app from market or when the market app update available notification comes app. I click on it. Usually it is Angry Birds. I don't update that. And then I start experiencing this problem.
Did a factory reset after flashing JP6. No lagfix. No advancedtask killer.
Have to reboot each time this happens.
please test this:if the notification bar is not working start the task manager kill one app after another and test the nb then make a ram clean and test it again
we could find out if an app is a reason(but i can't imagine it could be an app beside of an task killer) so we will have to further search for a reason (perhaps i will find something in the cernel differences (i am a developer but not for android and not kernel stuff at all)but i doubt that one too )) atm i am kind of idealess sorry

I had this exact same problem for a few days. It would irritate the **** out of me. I read somewhere that restarting the phone might work. And it did for me. So it might be worth doing. Just restart your phone, no factory reset or anything, a simple reboot.
I'm not saying this will work, just that it fixed it for me.

I was in the middle of a skype call just now. Skype decided to freeze. Gave me an option of force close or report it. I did a force close.
And then notification bar decided to not work. There was no app running in the task bar so I cleaned the ram. Still didn't work. Had to reboot.

It happens for me with the market as well.
smth has to cause it can u confirm that it does happen in large percentace of cases after force closes or does it even happen randomly? does somebody know a good log programm which we could run on ur galaxys so we can really see what happened right befor the nb doesn't work anymore(i think we need program activity and deamons running......)
sorry for my bad english it's getting too late and it isn't my native language...

it is the notifications that cause it. Skype was also running in the notification bar and market update also comes up in the notification bar. When any of those crashes and are force closed. Notification bar gets screwed.
Once I updated my moto x to lollipop I started opening up apps and testing them and used the multitasking button to close out my apps and just decided to hit the button again even though I closed everything and an app was still there. I closed it and pressed the button and another app appeared so I closed and pressed one more time and another app was still open ! This one said something like at&t ext or something and then after closing that nothing showed up. Anyone else have this happen? I even rebooted a few times and tried again and it still happens. Weird.
I see it occasionally.

Happens to me all the time (Pure edition). It is usually only a few select apps that do it, though: Link Bubble, stock phone app, stock alarm app, Google app, and app uninstall screen. It is always showing the last thing I was doing before I closed it (the first time...). Strange, but not an issue on memory or battery (it appears).
I see it all the time with the Pure Edition.
Anyone experience lag in opening an app when a notification comes through?
When I click on notification for some apps, it'll take anywhere between 3-10min to open. Only happens on some apps. Viber and smartthings are 2 that I have noticed this issue on.
I've noticed some slight lag in apps opening from their notification, but that's measured in seconds, not minutes.

I've noticed a lag of about 45 seconds once or twice. Usually a reboot will resolve it but it could be an errant app or especially if it's trying to retrieve something from the web before showing the window and you have no connection temporarily (poor programming practice) etc...

Only with Secure Folder and only after updating apps in that folder.
Hmm... Maybe an uninstall and reinstall of those apps.. Will try it out once I have a chance to backup.. Must be the way I use my phone.. As same issue was happening on previous phone I was on..
Exactly same failure here. But not minutes, just a lot of seconds. I can click on the notification and then wait, and wait, and wait, open other apps, navigate, and then, suddenly, the app of the notification opens. Very annoying. Lots of apps having this issue.
Reboot the movile solve the issue, but it returns few hours later.
I have never formatted the movile yet, and updated from nougat to oreo. If anyone give us a solution, I think I will format the mobile.
I see there is few people answering this thread, maybe few people having this issue...
never happens at all to me
I have never had this issue, all apps open quicly when clicking their notification
Same here. Stock, updated from Nougat to Oreo.
On my device only notifications from the Play Store cause lag.
It is not that often, therefore I keep calm
I am also having this exact same issue on my Note 9 with 8GB of ram, running Pie O.S. and it is driving me crazy! Someone PLEASE help us figure this one out!
I have wiped phone cache in recovery, even the cache for certain apps, rebooted the phone and in some cases even cleared app data and STILL have this problem.
Thanks.

Factory reset might solve all these.
Thanks for the suggestion, however I always save that option as an absolute last resort.
Hopefully someone has experienced this and has a solution short of a FDR.
Anyone?...
I encountered issues like that more than once. Narrowed it down to /data that causes the issue to happen, as OS reinstall without userdata wipe changed absolutely nothing. OS version doesn't matter. 5.1.1 and 6.0.1 behaved the same.
I've also found that when the said thing happens, you can probably notice another things happening, such as the prompt (when you open terminal emulator app) appears after seconds or sometimes even minutes.
Call recording apps start recording at least few seconds into the call, so short calls in some cases won't be registered at all.
Banking apps will notify the user about ie. incoming transfers with a slight delay.
It's like events - external and internal - get stuck somehow. They can also pile up if you, for example, start another instance in app - you click a button a few times and after some time you'll get those few instances starting instantaneously and simultaneously, just as if somebody lifted leg from a brake pedal. It doesn't have much sense - every single one should be delayed by approx. the same amount of time, but they clearly are not.
Anyway, I'd be very happy if we could figure out what causes that, because doing a complete wipe, even with help of Titanium Backup regarding the restore (did that once, worked perfectly), is not something I'm looking forward to.
I continue to have this issue on my note 9..and now on my note10 plus the issue has returned after over a month of use.. Sigh.. I've completely turned off battery optimisation but no luck..

At some point after upgrading to Android 9 I started having the following issue where if the screen turns off due to inactivity and I turn it back on by pressing the power button, I see whatever screen I had open before it went to sleep but it's frozen. Scrolling touching etc still perform (invisible) actions but the screen is frozen until I either press the app switch button or perform some action that would change the current application. While the screen is frozen the drawer from the top works just fine. Also when the app that gets frozen is the desktop (I'm using the default launcher), I can see the background scrolling if I swipe left or right but the widgets don't change, they are frozen.
Does anyone else have the same problem? Any ideas what could be causing it?

FWIW I have not really solved the problem but I am circumventing it by having the screen lock immediately instead of waiting 5 minutes. That way I have to unlock with a fingerprint every time the screen is off, and unlocking refreshes the screen which "fixes" the problem.

There were lot of reports of glitchy phones after the Pie update.
The cure was a factory reset or software repair with Xperia Companion
Use Xperia Transfer to back up your calls/contacts/texts before you reset the phone

Can you please link a thread, where users told, that problem is solved after reset?
I have the same frozen display (since Android Pie), when turning display off and on again.
Don´t wish to reset and install all again, if that does not help.

Hi Ralf,
the phone will always work better with a reset after a major update, all the Oreo applications are trying to work under Pie. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Oreo apps aren't made to work under Pie and they can error.
here, is one example, or another, but I didn't jump to Pie because of all the negative feedback and the scores of people trying to downgrade.
A reset will fix your problem and if you use Xperia transfer then the amount of personal information lost will be minimal.
Thanks for the links.

This sounds to me, the combination of "old" Navi-apps with Pie is the problem. May be only with Pie on some Sonys.
I'm afraid, a reset will not change the frozen display.
All other apps till now do not freeze after display-on except MagicEarth and Osmand+
This 2 apps i deinstalled (+ deleting the data) and installed again.

Xperia transfer shows me only 2 apps for backup.
I'll probably try a reset in the next few days anyway.

Looks like there is know issue with the Osmand+, the date of the post is may last year, but it may just be a 'feature'
When backing up with Xperia transfer, make sure you select all the boxes that are optional. It's things like text messages/contacts/phone history that are useful after a reset. Some apps can't be moved and have to be downloaded directly from the playstore, but Google should give you that option, after you log back in to the wiped phone.
Edit: I can recomend Sygic, free maps for one country, works without data.
In the meantime, I found more users with this problem and a little solution that another user describes:
I can confirm I have the exact same issue since Android 9 with my Xperia xz1 compact.
I normally have no lockscreen options set. So when I wakeup the Phone, it sometimes kind of 'locks' the screen. Widgets do not respond, I cannot switch home screens. The time on the status bar remains correct. If I then click on an app and go back, everythning behaves normally.
So I'm quite sure this must be a software issue, as other people have this problem to.
My workaround for now is to have a lockscreen option aktive. But I would rather have not, for conveniance.
I tested this also with safe mode and complete factory reset of the phone. The 'bug' is still there.

If I disable lockscreen, then apps stop when it is switched on again. However, I always have to enter pin or use fingerprint sensor, or smart lock.
This often does not work when cycling and is dangerous when cardriving.
On Android 8, the lockscreen did not need to be active.
So the problem is not Osmand and MagicEarth.
It is a Sony 9 bug with Android 9.
bye,
Ralf
Found in an other forum an easy method to reproduce the problem.
disable the screen lock (it must be set to "None");
lock the phone and then unlock it;
lock and unlock it again.

Because I believe that Sony will not fix the error, I could imagine a solution:
An app (possibly tasker), which puts a selectable running app from foreground while pressing the power button in the background and immediately brings it back to the foreground.
Does anyone know such a tool?
