[Q] Lagging in Message app and while typing - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, my Hero just started lagging with FroydVillain 16.xx version. First of all I thought this was just too many programs, or something like that, so I decided to wipe my phone and install new CM version. But then I got error for wipine an ext. I was suggested try wipe ext via ADB, but nothing happend neither. So I just installed the ROM anyway.
Everything was working, but after couple days it started lagging again. The most sensible feeling with SMS's. Then I'm opening new SMS from notification's bar, it takes forever to show me the text. The same with conversations list in Message application. There is also a lag while typing (AnySoftKeyboard with Lithuanian Keyboard).
The same happend today after reinstalling FroydVillain 17.2 with new RA_Hero 17 recovery. Installion was made yesterday. Now I have ~100 SMS's, if it has anything in common.
Any ideas, guys?
This is my apps' list: appbrain.com/user/karolism/

Well for me if I don't restart my phone every few days it slows down, are you overclocked? if not it might help, also some applications might not close properly and drain battery and other resources and lastly the Hero was built with old technology when it was new (I read this somewhere a while after I got my phone but I could be wrong).

Thank you for the reply. Could you tell me more about overclocking? I'm new at this.

Services.exe error PLEASE HELP

Hi guys,
Everytime i start up my phone i get a services.exe error report. I googled the problem and found that on a pc this is normally a malware virus!
Will this be the case for my phone? Do i have a virus?
If so how do i get rid of it, please help!
This is the themes and Apps section, ask in the right place and you might get an answer

No i dont have g-profile installed, why would this cause the problem or is it a possible fix?
Some members in a french forum have the same bug, it appear it's hd2tweaks who is in cause ...
Not sure at this moment
only as a few people were saying that they had this problem after installing g-profile..
Hi!
I have just gotten this problem and are wondering if this applies to the metal detector as well? I don't use g-profile so...
Will try to uninstall the metal detector now and see if the problem goes away...
I too have this problem - had it for a few weeks now but not a major issue as I don't often reboot phone, but frustrating when I do.
I had the metal detector app and BsB Tweaks installed before this started to happen, so don;t think it could be them. I did install G-alarm from ageye a while back, but I have no deleted this too as it expired - maybe this could have caused it?
any help appreciated
...also, I always send the error reports too, but they don't seem to do anything - never get a reply back or even an acknowledgement they have been received.
I have g-profile installed and get this every time i reboot the phone. Why does it appear when g-profile is installed and what does it mean/do??
Hopefully, the moderator will move this to the appropriate section, perhaps HD2 General, but I wanted to offer my input in the meantime.
@bluearmyb, which device do you have? T-Mobile US, or one of the European versions? I have the T-Mobile US HD2, and I started to get this same error soon after I started using it. I looked at the detail, and it looked like coredll.dll was the culprit. I tried removing apps and nothing seemed to fix it. I was using the stock T-Mobile US ROM.
I tried to find a pattern and the only one I found was that it would start occurring after I installed a large number of apps, in any order. I tried installing mods, then games, then other apps, and every variation thereof. I would hard reset, start installing, and rebooting after EVERY installation. It occurred for different apps at different times, but always after I installed a lot of them.
I have since installed HSPL2-1024, and have installed several ROMS. I'm currently using Miri's Elegancia colored by Steve0007. It has been flawless thus far, and I have installed all my apps. I have not received the error even once, so I'm not sure it's related to any particular app.
By the way, I think, THINK, that coredll.dll is part of the .NET Compact Framework.
I would like to know if there has been anyone, receiving this error on reboots, who is using a cooked ROM.
Not much help but maybe it can assist in identifying a pattern.
Cheers.
/J
I thought I would add what happened to me today:
I have been getting the "services.exe/coredll.dll" error message on boot-up after installing about 15 or more games simultaneously (without soft resetting each time). This error occurred right after I finally did a soft reset... and had been happening for the past 3 or 4 days.
As I installed more and more stuff to my memory card (16 Gig - Class 2 from my T-Mobile package - USA), I noticed that my HD2's screen response was pausing very slightly. Since I have an 8 Gig micro-SD Class 4 in my now retired HTC Kaiser, I decided to transfer all my stuff from the 16 Gig to 8 Gig (minus the Transformer movies). After the transfer, I still had 4 Gigs free, with a TomTom 2 Gig map installed).
Well guess what? not only is screen response as fast as it was out-of-the-box, BUT THERE IS NO LONGER THAT ANNOYING ERROR MESSAGE UPON BOOT UP.
I am now wondering if the error message I was getting might have been due to the HD2 not being able to read a needed file or files during boot-up and gave that error, due to the slower class 2 speed, or maybe due to files becoming fragmented on said SD card?... I'm not sure what it was, but it solved my problem.
If any of you still have this problem, it might be worth a try.
I am going to order a 16 Gig class 6 in the next 2 weeks, after giving this 8 Gig'er a good whirl.... I'll check back in, if this error rears its ugly head again.
By the way, I have a stock ROM, straight from T-Mobile USA.

Your post saved me a hard reset. Thank you very much!
I installed Chainfire-HD2-3D-Driver-Patch-2.0.cab, resetted, Chainfire-TG01-D3DM.cab resetted. Everything looked ok. Proceeded and installed BsB Tweaks v1.6 and since it did not asked for reset (big mistake for being lazy, should have known better to be safe), I installed HD2Tweak v1.2.0 then resetted and started having the coredll.dll/services error. At first I thought it may be due to CHT which I initially had problem days before with Sense failing to load after failing to cleanly uninstall v1.7.0. but solved it by installing v1.7.1. So I reinstalled v1.7.1. Didn't help. Then I found your post and uninstalled HD2Tweak. Problem gone. I figured perhaps I should try again. This time no error after reset. But when I did a shutdown, my HD2 couldn't power up, even the red button reset failed. Fortunately, pulling out the battery did the trick. Now monitoring for futher issues.
I started getting this yesterday, i just installed some games. After uninstalling them, i still get this error
Any help?
I got this error when I installed the 3d - driver patch for the leo. I am using a t mobile us phone with the stock rom on it. I just installed the driver and the error went away
Same with me - it seems to be the TG1 3d Patch from Chainfire - as soon as I uninstalled it the problem was gone. So far...
after reading your posts ,i want to share my experience with services.exe ,from what i have seen sometimes when i install apps that are for hd2 i get the services.exe report,but if i uninstall whatever installed before the repot than the
report is gone,i think services.exe is just an incompatibility report
I had the services.exe error too when restarting my device. Since I saw metal detector mentioned here I uninstalled it and the problem seems to be solved now.

ROM update

Hi guys
Little help needed.. I've had the phone since Aug 09. Had loads of problems with it, but have now decided after nearly a year to update phone as I've lost all notification lights, the charging light, etc. etc. It's not a great phone at the moment!
Donwloaded latest ROM from the HTC site, plugged in phone, and it wouldn't work. Something about the abl, or acb? Wouldn't connect properly when searching etc.
Anyway round it, Tried disconnecting from net, but figure it needs the connection. But didn't work either way.
Is the latest Orange update the one to go for? Does it help the lousy signal, the frozen text messages?
When it says you lose all data, can someone clarify that for me please? Numbers, Sim card info, Phone numbers info, Pics, Music, Email set ups? etc. etc.?
Thanks
Which ROM have you tried?
If you haven't tried it yet, try the VillainROM 12 I think its pretty stable.
Hi, its the latest one for Orange on the HTC forum, but that's not the problem.
It's the fact I can't get the programme to take. It's that ab thing that keeps stopping me and the ROM just exits..
If your ROM is rooted then you shouldn't install the HTC official updates, instead look at the developers forum here and try ROMs from there. For example VillainROM 12 and many others are based on the latest official HTC update.
If your ROM is not rooted, I am not sure what the problem is. Assuming you don't want to root it, maybe you can get support either from HTC or from the shop you bought it at.
Have you got the latest HTC Sync installed?
Hi
Thanks for your replies.
No, not rooted, not anything, since I got it 12 months ago. Other than plugging into pc to transfer pics which always worked. HTC sync? Not aware of?
Never updated Rom ever, but its given me so much grief over the last year, I get maybe 2 web pages and then it freezes for ages and the green line sits for 10 mins before another page. Is that the nature of this phone? Would an update make a difference to that problem?
I downloaded few apps the other night and removed them and now all lights notifications and charging lights don't work. Typing is so laggy and painful to do. Texts won't scroll for minutes...
I just can't understand how everyone says this phone is so great?
I know its a year old now but its always been like this.
Any help much appreciated.
Install HTC Sync and you're problems should go away, though you may need to boot into fastboot and install the driver for that too for the update to work. I can describe that if necessary.
Thanks again ...
Fastboot? Lost me on that one
What does the Rom update erase?
Will try this tomorrow and see if I can get sync on there
You lose everything, but considering the problems you're having this may not be a bad thing. You can backup certain data without root access (such as texts i believe) but that is about it. Check out SMS Backup & Recovery for that. HTC Sync will do contacts (though you should really be using Google contacts by now rather than phone or sim).
Having said that you should lose nothing on your SD card, but I would format that after putting the new system on just in case (so backup to computer etc).
I'll explain fastboot if it's needed. Post back detailed error messages if you get any after installing HTC Sync.
Thank you for your help. I will attempt that when I'm at home, can't do at work.
Forgot to ask, have many others had the phone switching itself off problem? It still does this, and only when you remove battery will it switch on again. No idea why, but you can press every button and nothing doing till battery is removed. Love to know what causes that...
I'm a great ad for this phone huh.

[Q] Fix for gallery freeze?

I just recently got the vibrant and got the OTA the same day, the gallery freezes about half the time, and about half of the time that it freezes i have to pull the battery, i cant get to task manager or put the phone to sleep and wake it up.
I searched google and there are alot of links regarding it but i didnt find any that gave any ideas to fix it.
I searched this forum and nothing came up. Anyway, I have a class 6 card, the gallery on my nexus is very quick and has never frozen, so it is definitely the phone.
In my experience with the g1, MT3g, N1 and now this vibrant, any time ive received an OTA it has come with costs, it always brings fixes and features but also causes new problems, large and small. So I dont doubt what I found while searching, that the gallery issue is a result of the recent OTA for the GPS fix. Anyway, its kind of silly that this awesome, technologically advanced device freezes when you open up one of the native apps. But can we do anything about it? And if not, is it likely that Samsung will address it in another OTA? thanks
edit: ive also just recently had my phone just turn off every day or so, and it wont power back on until i pull the battery. Maybe these 2 issues mean i have a defective device? Or is this par for the course with the tmobile galaxy s?
Overclock your phone to only run at 800-1000MHz. It completely solved this for me, 400-1000MHz still hiccups.
thank you, yet another reason to root i suppose...
So no way to fix that with stock phone? =(

That is odd, I've never had my gallery freeze or my phone reboot... Are you sure you don't have some rogue app? Perhaps you should factory reset and start fresh? Do you have any "junk" apps on your phone (stupid apps)?
I had a freeze on opening gallery right after the JI6 was released. I think it was trying to recreate the thumbnails from scratch and download pics from my Picasa acct.
Happened one time only and I actually had to pull the battery since it went unresponsive. Never had a problem after that.
~SB
perhaps unmount and remount the INTERNAL memory card. I've done this before just because I saw it as a suggestion and it recreated my gallery.
I having the same issue. I am ready to delete it and use a different app. Is that possible?

If you're rooted you can probably remove it.
I have tried factory reset so I don't think its a rogue app. I got the ota the day I got the phone so I can't compare before and after. If some people aren't having the issue period maybe a warranty replacement would resolve it. Of course, if we do end up getting froyo maybe that's something that will improve. Love the phone either way, I just get fed up with stuff like gallery freeze, random reboot, GPS issues, etc... stuff that i would think shouldn't get past product testing.
OP, this is discussed at the thread below. (use the search next time)
You are not the only one having this issue.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=805784
Quick Summary:
- Even with the removable card blank, the Gallery still have the same issues.
- I did a complete wipe and still have the same issues.
- I cleared data through System Settings which recreated thumbnails and other data, still have the same issues.

Wow i am so sick of reading some loser tell somebody to "search next time". You'll be so very relieved to know that I actually did search, and all i found out is that you dont have any friends. But honestly I did find your thread, however it didnt seem to me to be on point with what i wanted to ask specifically. Your post says that "watchdog" told you your gallery is a "resource hog" and that you have to kill it. I dont know what watchdog is, nothing told me anything i just cant get into my gallery app very often, so that didnt seem applicable. Also, i got ji6 the day i got my phone so putting the gallery issue in the context you did ("since ji6 update") didnt mean anything to me, i dont anything about this phone pre-ji6 update. All I know is that my gallery app sucks, your thread was a bit technical for me to be able to apply to my particular issue
Anyway, now my gallery freezes every single time i initially try to open it, i have had to pull the battery 6 times in a row, it works after the pull. This has been my favorite android phone (of 4) but now i just want to set it on fire and run over it with my car. I guess Samsung and Android arent interested in making their $600 products work, does anybody know how i can fix my phone so that it does what it is supposed to? Also im not rooted which i assume probably makes it impossible for me to fix? thanks for any help.

Delayed, or non, live notifications

Hello all,
I have used my LeECo max 2 for about a month. In the beginning, before I updated to S17 from S14, I didn't have any problems with notifications. After the upgrade I have a serious problem with live notifications. Apps like WhatsApp, Gmail, Messenger, Skype, and more, might show messages immediately, with a short or long delay (min and sometimes hours), and not even show anything until I reopen the app. I made sure that the wanted apps have permission to run when the phone boots up and add them to the app protection list in the battery menu. I found out that S19 was just released a few days ago (leaked) and I had to try it to see if it solved the problem, which it didn't. I even tried to install 'heartbeat fixer' and 'notification fixer', which didn't really helped.
I really enjoy this phone, but I can't take it anymore. I can't get late email and messages, and I don't want to reopen the apps to make sure to not miss any important messages.
Did anyone had that problem and was able to solve it?
Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Thank you
same happened to me and i also spent way to much time trying to fix it, so I changed to cm13 rom
Do you know if I can install the latest twrp after upgrading to s19?

Whatsapp getting killed, other apps too

Hello, guys,
I have had Redmi Note 3 for 6 months now and I have been struggling with an annoying issue.
Whatsapp gets killed after a little time of idleness and unless I kill it in the task manager and restart it, I cannot either receive or send messages. When I check in the running apps section, it is not there so the OS certainly kills it. And just clicking its icon on the desktop, opens the GUI but it does not work unless I force close it and re-open it.
I have had issues with Whatsapp on previous devices - more of the common stuff - delayed notifications, messy push service. This is something else.
MIUI 8 is notorious, it seems, for its RAM and Battery management killing apps and I often struggle with that, too. For example: I minimize VLC to open Firefox. I switch back to VLC - ok, the movie starts over, the app has been killed. This is really annoying and I have turned off all kinds of optimization to prevent it, with no success. I am not sure, though, that it is connected to the Whatsapp issue. Because Whatsapp seems to get killed when the phone is idle for a moment but not when switching between apps.
I rarely use Viber but I think the situation there is the same. I sent a message to a friend and I got no response. I opened the app 5 days later and the response came However, it had tried to arrive 2 minutes after my original message. But I had not opened Viber for 5 days, so...that happened.
Let me know if you need details about my settings. I would be really grateful if someone can share some insight on what might the issue be. I guess if I root the phone I can try and locate the culprit module that kills apps. Maybe edit a config file to disable the killing functionality. It is clear this ROM does not like running apps....
Thanks,
Kiril Ekblad
P.S. I have been on Google multiple times: nobody seems to have that issue.
Disable battery saver
developer options -> disalbe MIUI optimization
MIUI is way to aggressive in killing apps ....
maybe go for a custom rom?
You can follow this https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...de-redmi-note-3-sd-mtk-multi-tasking-t3358433 and see how it`s going with push up notification.
When i`ve used miui 8, i`ve done this things and it seems to work good, but anyway push up notification came with a small delay..
For this reason i left miui 8 (very bad ram management) and flashed nougat custom rom and everything working good
Thank you, all
I have actually tried all of these and all steps in the quoted topic. No difference whatsoever. I would gladly go for a custom ROM bit things have gotten really complicated lately. A coupke of yeara aho I would easily grab and flash a custom ROM. Now when I browse through the ROMs topics here I get frustrates.
Something about firmwares, stuck bootloaders I have no idea where to start.
Oh and I don't want to lose slow motoon and time lapse videos. Do you know of a custom ROM that supports them ans the stock one does?

Try clean flash of MIUI ROM or flash Epic / Xiaomi.eu ROM
Thanks, I will have to research on the EPIC/EU ROM.
I am all for changing the ROM as long as I can cope with the flashing and I do not lose any of the significant features of the stock ROM.
By the way, recently - the last several days - I have noticed that on multiple occasions Whatsapp seems to be running - it is showing in the Running apps and still the program cannot either receive or send until I force close it and re-start. Whatsapp web also says Phone not connected.
