the process mmcqd sometimes hogs 100 % of the cpu. load goes up to about 5,5 and stays there. makes the tablet very unresponsive.
usually happens when using the browser / quicksearch / voice search.

mmcqd is the mmc driver kernel process which handles writes to SD so if it runs at 100% is because some program is intensively using the disk.
remember that the Folio has no ROM in it but a Sandisk 16 GB SD card
Bug :
about Foliowidget :
I have checked the Light (enabled) => lights are ON.
Sometimes, after pushing the ON/OFF buttons, light went OFF, and I am obliged to go under foliowidget ...
but under foliowidget, Light check box is already at ON, then I push twice on the check box to re-activate lights.
kepler1982, will you make a summary of bugs listed in this thread in first post ?

But what program would that be? I closed the browser/searchapps and devtools doesnt show any processes out of the ordinary. Still the cpu stays at 100 percent until you reboot

after 2 days running, i got a folio waking up from standby with 0.1/0.5/0.5 is uptime cpu load..
i do note the wifi issue in the begining when its just rebooted, but it dissappear and i dont feel anything affected by the 2.0/2.x/2.x is see sometimes..
Movies do hit 3.x, but it quickly goes down to 1.x after movie is stopped.

I've tried 1.3b all day and I love how responsive it is!
Now for some bug report: I've got the "wake up" back again. Seems like it worse than ever. I also have some problem with the browser. Sometimes links stop working and I have to longpress and press open. The foliowidget icon seems messed up, like it's too big.
Other than that it's great!
Hope the input comes to use
Btw, I wiped it and flashed the rom all fresh.

patience!!!
CES2011 is flooded with Tegra2 tablets, and alot of focus seems to be on Nvidia's chipset, so games might not work now, but expect alot of gameloft releases to be for our tegra2 cpu, and fully compatible very soon..
right now all gameloft HD games are for the different range of cpu's so all binaries crash on our folio.. but that'll change very,very soon..
Freeze and need force shutdown
freeze and force shutdown happened to me always while in
1) games (Dexter had answered)
2) web browsing
3) android market too
no problems when i keep scrolling but when i stop for a moment reading the contents, it sometimes freezed and need force shutdown
i am wondering is it i updated my folio incorrectly?
no hesitate to reinstall 1.3b by tonight and then test the app 1 by 1.

Same here, seems some SD card features are not supported by the kernel/driver. Try a Windows formatted card instead.
Still have some issues with the storage which may be related to the filesystem optimizations.
I see messages like this in logcat output:
Code:
01-04 23:26:55.953: ERROR/ApplicationContext(2384): Couldn't create directory for SharedPreferences file /data/data/com.metago.astro/shared_prefs/com.metago.astro_preferences.xml
I've checked and the directory exists and permissions looked OK as well. However I was not able to modify/delete the directory doing so ended up in a I/O Error.
Code:
sh-4.1# rm -r shared_prefs/
rm failed for shared_prefs/, I/O error
So i pulled the whole partition over to my pc and made a filesystem check:
Code:
Entry 'com.metago.astro_preferences.xml' in /data/com.metago.astro/shared_prefs (2074) has deleted/unused inode 2059. Clear<y>?
Seems like the filesystem indeed was corrupted for whatever reason.
(had several freezes and reboots during the usage of the Folio)
So if this data can become corrupted somehow, this may be a reason why applications are crashing on one device or not storing their preferences/data.
The main question is, can this be handled on the device, like doing a fsck before these partitions are mounted.
Flashing the fixed partition back to the device solved the initial error.
Happend on FolioMod v1.3b (Wiped several times since installing the 'b' patch)
Btw, also checked /data partition and it turns out there were even more errors on that.

can you confirm that e2fsck is in place (system/bin)?
its running in the init.d/01data2ext script at every bootup... i have no fs problems or errors in dmesg here, and i do reboot alot (meaning dirty reboots)
edit: i think i located the issue :-( (and made a small patch update to fix the 01data2ext script)
Ill test if we can use ext4 in my next update, so a fsck should be less needed.

/data is ext3 and journalised? so that should only occur if you tried a fsck on a mounted filesystem.

yes, after installed v1.3 i did a factory reset, sorry i didn't mention it.
last night i use it with wifi turned off and no more freeze n fs issue,
play games
read pdf
playing music n video
going thru others app as setting, phto app etc
all were so smooth and never froze.
only d game "slice it" rebooted itself twice.
bumping the waking up problem a bit. Any idea why it's back? It seems my folio freezes in sleep everytime I leave it alone for a couple of mins. I've seen a few else reporting it, but isn't everyone experiencing it?
2 issues with 1.3b
I am happy owner of folio for 2 days From the very first day on FolioMod 1.3b.
Great work and quite happy. Without yours mods, I wouldn't buy this device. Many thanks to devs.
But 2 issues which frustrates me:
1) After reboot for several minutes one core heavy loaded => CPU ussage > 50% . According to process manager it's Android system itself (somebody mention wifi driver).
I have noticed that during this period the HW home button doesn't respond while the others do. SW home button works immediately.
When the load drops, the home button starts responding immediately.
2) Repeating wakeup from suspend. Together with the heavy load after wakeup together drains memory very badly.

Hi, I'm running the latest rootfs and Ril on Rhod400, even though this issue is almost definitely not related. I think that the battery died in middle of the night (I forgot to plug it in), and when I turned it on after charging it, a lot of apps started to Force-Close. This happens even after a reboot.
Thanks for all the help.

Delete the data.img, let the system create a new one. Problem solved.
So it got corrupted? I feared so. At the rate I'm re-creating Data Images, I should buy the Pro version of Titanium Backup for Batch Restore.

That's what I did! I found myself using the app so frequently, I decided to pay for it.
Advanced users willing to do a little research will also find that sometimes the fix_permissions script will fix your data.img in these situations, it fixed mine a few days ago.

Happened to me also after it paniced and rebooted one day. I had to install all of the apps that force closed over again after uninstalling them. Seems like info got corrupted. I didn't want to start from scratch, especially since I just successfully got my work VPN working, so I just spent the time to uninstall and reinstall the stuff as I go. Have no clue what causes this other than something got corrupted.

I ran into a similar issue. My phone hard locked after running Android for the better part of a day. When I rebooted it ran extensive disk checks on the system. It still does every time I boot and I am get force close messages constantly. Windows also found and fixed errors with the FAT32 partition on the card. It's possible my card is dying but I also didn't notice any of that until the forced reboot. It didn't say what file was damaged but I can take a guess.
I believe that the FAT32 file system on the card was corrupted because files were open when I was forced to reboot. Because the linux file system is hosted as a file on the fat32 partition, it is subject to damage if the host file system gets messed up. It's sort of like when MS offered the option in DOS to compress your hard drive. It was all stored as a giant compressed file on your disk. If something happened to the integrity of that file it caused all sorts of problems.
This is why I use a partitioned build...

Instead of using looped files (system.ext2 file is really an entire file system that is 'loop mounted' within Linux/Android) you use native partitions.
So a separate partition for data, separate partition for system, etc. It's a little more difficult to setup, but in theory it causes less corruption. Not sure if it's true or not, hyc is pretty convinced it does .

I've been running with the same data partition since the middle of January, haven't needed to recreate it even once. It boggles my mind how often you tell people to blow away their data.img and start over whenever they run into problems. That just ain't right, and an approach that encourages that style of problem-solving is inherently flawed, IMO. And a build layout that leads to that type of solution is also inherently flawed.
Plus the simple existence proof - my /data partition is fine, despite having reinstalled /system several times, switching between original FRX05 and FRX06, rewritten rootfs scripts, plus all of the built-from-scratch system images I've tested, replacing framework.jar, etc. etc... My SDcard has seen a lot of churn, but all of my downloaded apps, settings, and data have come thru unscathed.
A couple times I've needed to run fix_permissions. But now with my current framework and rootfs that does a clean shutdown and unmount of /data, I haven't needed that in a while either.
Oh, and also, with a partitioned build, you get full use of USB mass storage. Everything just works.

I agree, it's horrible troubleshooting - but it works, and until we get a solid fix then there's really not much to do...

Nearly all other post-crash forceclose issues seem to be database corruption.
Android seems to like to store a LOT of stuff other than contacts (including call logs) in the contacts database. As a result it tends to be more prone to corruption.
Piece of advice - when complaining about an issue like this where obtaining a logcat is possible, please do so. (A logcat would be able to narrow down exactly where your problems likely were.)
DB corruption can still happen even on partitioned builds. I forget where the best HOWTO for this is, but it involves partitioning your SD card such that:
Partition 1 is FAT (main sdcard stuff)
Partition 3 is ext2 (system partition)
Partition 4 is ext2 (data partition)
I can provide a reasonably good HOWTO for doing this on a Linux box when I return from business travel, can't help the Windows-only users.

Edit: what governor are you using?
Tell me how to find out what governor i'm using and i'll tell ya, haha
If you're using SetCPU or CPUBoost there should be an option to change the governor, and it should display which governor is currently being used.
I don't use those applications because i have tried on different occasions and it never fails that they crash my phone, so i'm unsure.
Quick question, is it okay to have multiple ROM zips on my sd card or should i keep only one at a time. ( I only have one right now but i plan on trying new ones out and didnt know if i should delete old ones?
I initially had this same issue on GB ROMs. A couple of things. First, I totally agree ATK is not needed. I would also add that personally I'd dump SetCPU. I had it on my phone initially and found it actually caused me a significant amount of lag. Of course the minimum CPU speed, maximum CPU speed, and governor can all be set in "Cyanogen Mod Settings" on CM7 ROMs.
What do you mean by "laggy"? Perhaps you should describe it more competely. Are you seeing, for example, lag when you press home after running an app, and you have to wait for whichever home you are using (presumably LauncherPro) to redraw the home screen? If so, is that the only lag that you are seeing?
If your lag is only in the launcher redrawing when you go home, there are two solutions to that. Either settings->CyanogenMod settings->Performance and turn on "lock home in memory" or try running this script and run option 11, for the bulletproof launcher.
Incidentally, your SD card has absolutely nothing to do with the amount of space available for apps to run (unless, of course, you have moved many apps to SD). If you go into (it's something like this - I am running xtrSENSE right now, but it is similar enough) settings->SD card & phone storage, how much available space do you have under "Internal phone storage"? I do not think that this is your issue, based on the number of apps that you report installed, but so long as you are above 25 to 30 MB or so you should be all set.
Try not using JuiceDefender. What that app does is shut down all of your radios for a period of time, turning them on briefly on a periodic schedule (for example, it turns them on for a couple of minutes every 15 minutes.) However, if you power up the phone with the radios off, it will restart them at power up, causing the phone to feel slow as they power up and, of course, network activity to start right after the radios are turned back on. It will surely help with battery consumption, but if you want no lag, that would be the first of the apps that you list that I would remove.

Having the zip files on your SD card shouldn't cause any problems, since they aren't actually running anything or doing anything besides taking up space.
If you start getting short on SD card space (unlikely with 16 gb of it ) then deleting them probably wouldn't be a bad idea.

It does not matter in the slightest. The speed of your phone has nothing at all to do with the zip files that you have stored on your SD card, or the Nandroid backups that you have - unless, of course, you are out of space, and that would only affect a small handful of apps that may store data on SD.
Finally some answers, thanks everyone.

Sounds like an incomplete download. Check the MD5 hash of the file to make sure that it matches what the dev says it should, or at the very least verify that the file size matches what it's supposed to.
Also, make sure that you have a fairly well-charged battery.

Hi folks,
so heres the thing, I recently partitioned and formatted my sd card (16gb), it all worked fine, now however some apps are freezing to open or they open quite slow, like the gallery, music player, winamp, etc, is like it was trying to read the filesystem but is just sitting there like in a loop, after a while android tell me the app is not responding and asks me if I want to force kill it. So, the phone doesnt become unresponsive, everything else still works, ES file explorer for example can get into the FS's and I can check all my files just fine, is just that maybe because of this extra effort, even when those apps are not running the OS itself is probably hanging on accesing the filesystem as well and this is consuming too much cpu and IO, the phone goes real hot, hence the battery runs out darn fast, from full charged to death will be no more than 8 hours.
In the terminal I ran "df" and checked the /proc/mounts and I can see /mnt/sdcard mounted twice, along with other mounts repeated as well, Im not sure if this ir normal or not, though they are not identical, they differ on the device file or type of FS.
Is like if android was having a very hard time trying to read the files.
Last time when I first got the sd card same thing happened when I installed it and trasnferred some files, the only way to fix it was doing a hard reset and reinstalling all my apps. I dont want to do this again because this phone is now too much customized and would take hours to set it back
So, has anyone come across with this issue and has any idea on how to fix it without the hard reset?? ... and no, normal reboot doesnt fix it neither soft reset.
Im running the ATT atrix 4g with v2.3.
thanks
Hi.
So it's been 9 months since I'm using my LG Optimus l9 P765 and for the first 7 months it was perfectly fine. Later on, I was having battery draining problems ; like 50%+ battery draining overnight when not charging. Currently, I'm having 2 problems at the same time : Battery Drainage and Media files scanning.
Day before yesterday, I was using my phone at night until it was 60%. I left it and woke up in the morning finding my phone was shut down (0%) and I started charging it. The Media files started to scan and it didn't complete till the night! Today morning, when I woke up at 6, the SD card files were scanning yet! That's almost 2 days and media files not scanned. Also, I clicked on "app info" while the media files were scanning and I "Force Stopped" System UI. Now it's still scanning the media files.
For the battery problem ;
I have battery use :
Phone Idle ALWAYS above 45%
sdCard ALWAYS above 25%
Android OS Above 10%
Wifi/Android System/Hike/What'sApp/Facebook around 1-5%.
Wil factory reset help with these problems? If not please help me with a solution!
Thanks in advance!
EDIT : My phone has a internal memory of around 2GB and SDCARD 16GB.
EDIT : I think this problem is occuring ever since I Upgraded to a new android version (did that a few months ago)

Hello and thanks for your reply.
I've heard about Deep Sleep Battery Saver, I read about it online and it specifies that it kill's background processes and sync's only once every 30 minutes. I get a lot of What'sApp/Hike messages which I sometimes have to reply to in every 30 minutes so I don't think it's pretty much a good option for me.
I'll surely check out Greenify and tell you if it helps!
Also, if you might, can you explain the sdcard copying and other things? I didn't catch up with your first option!
Media Scanner can be deleted

If you have ROOT, you can uninstall the media scanner service completely. In ES Files Explorer, Turn on Root Explorer, then tap on "Root Explorer" Not the on button but the actual icon, Uninstall System app, type Media in Search, then uninstall it. Should solve that issue, because Media Scanner made by LG is coded SO horribly, it took ages on mine too. Note I am using the p769 version, SO far, to me it's been safe so yeah. Just use a different Gallery and music player in it's place and voila. NEVER deal with it again... ever. Make sure you do a Backup in Recovery, because things may go wrong for different people.
This can be caused by an excessive number of files on the device. Often lost cache files, after their index has been damaged. These then can only be deleted with a filemanager. In my case Dolphin browser has a tendency to produce such junk. The Storage Analyzer app is helpful in finding out where the stuff might sit. Search for app directories with hundreds or thousands of files, and if they're in a folder called cache or webview, they are quite safe to delete.

Currently, I'm not taking the risk of doing that right now. I'll just wait for them to scan now and then do it. Thanks for your reply.

Any Idea how to close this thread? Do I have to do it or is it for the Mod's?
Hold up

Yeah, but Now Play Store won't properly work when downloading since it kinda relies on it for some reason.. I wound up restoring it to get Play Store working, though how's it on your end?

Hi.
So it's been 9 months since I'm using my LG Optimus l9 P765 and for the first 7 months it was perfectly fine. Later on, I was having battery draining problems ; like 50%+ battery draining overnight when not charging. Currently, I'm having 2 problems at the same time : Battery Drainage and Media files scanning.
Day before yesterday, I was using my phone at night until it was 60%. I left it and woke up in the morning finding my phone was shut down (0%) and I started charging it. The Media files started to scan and it didn't complete till the night! Today morning, when I woke up at 6, the SD card files were scanning yet! That's almost 2 days and media files not scanned. Also, I clicked on "app info" while the media files were scanning and I "Force Stopped" System UI. Now it's still scanning the media files.
For the battery problem ;
I have battery use :
Phone Idle ALWAYS above 45%
sdCard ALWAYS above 25%
Android OS Above 10%
Wifi/Android System/Hike/What'sApp/Facebook around 1-5%.
Wil factory reset help with these problems? If not please help me with a solution!
Thanks in advance!
EDIT : My phone has a internal memory of around 2GB and SDCARD 16GB.
EDIT : I think this problem is occuring ever since I Upgraded to a new android version (did that a few months ago)

Let me explain u why i tell u copy ur whole sd card to computer and format ur 16 gb sd card and recopy from pc to sd card back....
as time goes u download and delet data and so in sd card files are getting fregmented (ie. Single folders file store in two different locations on sdcard)(same phenomenon as in pc but there u can defregment but in sd card u can't ) so while scanning it tackes too much time...
As lg media scanning code are may be like that it scan folder wise and so it tackes long time ... for ur info i experiment on my sd class u1 on fregmenting file it tackes horribly long time and if one of file is corrupt it goes and goes on

I wnt to add one more thing in my case internal sd card tack only 3-5sec (no media file) and 16gb sd card around 30-50 sec (5gb song, 3gb photo, 1gb video and 3gb other things ) since u are using from long time without factory reset installed many app and many of them may be removed many app creat junk as stated by member. If scanning time is more on internal memory (if media file is there may take more time) i think u need factory reset (first tack necessary backup)

The crash kept saying "unfortunately com.android.media has stopped"
Or something like that, then I'd get a download fail unknown error. Aww well.
Hi guys, I have the Teclast T10, which is running Android 7.01. I'm aware there's a specific forum for this device but none of the user there face the same problem as I do. And since I think this more like an android issue, I'll try posting this here.
So, the problem: Apps force close after device sleep for a while, including core ones like google services, android.media, settings, basically everything.
How do I know this? Because if I keep using the device, it will never happen. I've also tested this with running something like the amoled always on screen app to keep the screen on and it does not happen. The device will work normally until the battery is depleted. But if I let the device to sleep for a while (screen off), say 30 minutes (it's random, sometimes it can survive for 2 hours, other times 10 minutes is enough), the first thing it greets me with when I turn it back on is, "Settings has stopped". At that point, most apps will force close when I open them. There's no cure other than rebooting, in which case it will work fine again until it's next nap time.
I checked the logcat and most errors are complaining that the file system is readonly, sqlite cannot write to the DB, cannot open file for writing, etc. And indeed when I check with "mount", the /data partition has been mounted "ro". I don't know what trigger this. I tried formatting the partition in TWRP, success. Check with e2fsck and there are no error.
So, any idea what's causing this and how to fix it? I'm willing to forego the internal storage entirely and move all my /data to the slower external sd card as long as it works, but I haven't find a way to easily do that with this tablet. Oh did I mention that if I use my external SD card as adaptable storage and move my apps to that, those apps will not force close. Only apps remaining in this damn (sorry) /data partition are doomed.
Appreciate any idea to try, It's driving me nuts for weeks now.
Thanks
