Hello,
i have some problems with my X10. Whenever i start Mediascape and browse some pictures the phone gets slower and slower. Additionally, the battery temperature is going up over time, so that the phone is really warm.
After taking a look into Android System Info and some testing i could determine the cause of this problem.
There are two processes of android.process.acore (package: adw.launcher or go.launcher, see later) that are running with 100% CPU Usage. After killing (restarting) one of both processes the other one disappears, and cpu usage goes back to normal. But if mediascape is launched again, the same issue occurs.
After more testing i found, that this only happens if i use another launcher and not the original one from SE. If i use the SE launcher (and freeze the 3rd-party via titanium) the problem does not occur.
First, i thought that i maybe have killed to much of the bloatware, so i restored the original firmware via SEUS and tried again - with no success, the issue persists furthermore. No original App were removed, and no old configuration was used, only defaults.
My Steps with after restoring the original firmware.
- root with RATC, manually via linux and adb
- entered google account to check in the market
- updated market, facebook, and google maps
- downloaded busybox, xrecovery and titanium backup pro
- installed the jit2-enabler from the forums and enabled it via xrecovery (dalvik cache cleared)
- restored
- clean install of ADW.Launcher
=> testing, problem occurs again (process: android.process.acore with package adw.launcher at 100% after using mediascape)
- removed ADW.Launcher and installed Go! Launcher
=> testing, problem occurs again (process: android.process.acore with package adw.launcher at 100% after using mediascape)
- removed Go! Launcher and proceeded to xda-devs in search for some help
Can this be a issue caused by JIT2 ?
Any ideas, what can i do now ?
I Hate the original launcher, i would like to stay with Go! or ADW. Mediascape can not be uninstalled without problems or loss of functions afaik.
--- sry @mod for posting in wrong forum
no ideas ?
I have the same problem
Any ideas?
You've better wait for a couple of hours or a night coz after finish upgrade the phone, X10 (face recognition service) will try to rescan your sdcard, looking for media file.
Your X10 will have high CPU load, consume a lot of battery and also having slow response during this scan period.
The scan period is depending on number of media files on sdcard and number of pictures in your facebook account.

Hi
I'm currently having problem with apps they are auto opening themselves.
Sometimes at startup when I open my open and use Helix/ADW all launcher manu apps are open automatically. It eats like 50MB of memory and battery.
And even while my screen turns off it opens app. I was sleeping and my screen is turn off/sleep and I check task panel it got apps open even the screen is lock.
Got No Idea on this. Why my apps are auto opening.
And do I need to debrand?
I just got a unit Unlocked
X10i
Baseband 1.0.14
Build Number R1FA014
Kernel 2.6.29-rel [email protected]#2
Do I really need to debrand?
Does it reset my phone and my settings/apps will be deleted?
TIA
It's not the X10, it's an Android thing.
Then how to get rid of this auto opening app? I never exp. this on 1.5 and 2.1 on my HTC Hero just on this 1.6
Get Automatic Task Killer or something similar, and set it to kill apps on open...if you find the apps opening affects your performance.
Also, if they're apps that sync with a service, make sure all syncing is off, or they'll keep coming up anyway, to try to sync with the cloud.
as a personal anecdote, once I stopped using task killers, the phone started running more stable and quicker.
So Task killers are not good?
I check my Task Panel once i boot my phone tons of APPS are open
Like Bluetooth file transfer
SMS Backup and Restore
Email
Alarm Clock
Calender
Settings Voice Dialer
It opens on startup.
seriously I just boot up my phone and use ADW Launcher and those open up automatically? what does those do? for startup? there are tons more like 25 apps on startup. This thing is not good since I'll do task killing always even the phone is screen off. My phone is opening Voice Dialer Handsent SMS even though i dont have message or calls received.
It's like every min or hour I'll do task killing it kills battery
Well, Alarm Clock has to be on, so it knows when to go off... If you don't have any alarms set, delete all the alarms that are in it.
Email is on by default, since it's a smart phone. If you don't have an account set up, email won't sync, and thus, isn't really doing anything. Calendar will attempt to sync with google if you set it up, but if not, again, shouldn't be doing anything. SMS will start to monitor for incoming SMSes. A lot of services start so they're there when you try to start them up. Basically, anything that has to sync to the internet to update will start automatically.
If things like Photoshop Mobile or a game or something start up, those should be killed.
Stand alone apps that don't access the internet should have no business starting up on their own.
Some people on here claim task killers are great and help a lot... some claim they do nothing. I'm torn, because the phone feels a bit faster than when I used the task killer everytime I unlocked the phone. If your phone is new, cycle the battery a few times, and let it 'break in' and, eventually, the battery life should improve.
Thanks. I'm just a little bit worried that I'm not aware that there are many task opening with me noticing or knowing it and use much battery as I do.
Some apps open automatically
I know that apps auto close ok , here's its invers..
Any how use some task killers frequently to kill them....
Or just unistall them
.....:thumbup:

Android works by loading EVERYTHING it can into memory, up to a threshold and then removes apps from memory if they're not being used and memory is required for newly initiated applications.
Some apps have a terminate and stay resident approach and are seen as 'services' and they just stay active no matter what. Email, Calendars and status bar and etc never leave memory cause they're all waiting for there big moment, an email, an appointment, a finger touch etc.
Using a task killer doesn't really do anything, cause as soon as you 'kill' the process and the moment there is available memory again the process will just return to active/inactive memory because that's the way Android memory processing works.
If you have root access you can delete/freeze system apps you don't require.
A 'slim' Android v2.3 ROM shouldn't have more than approx 110 system apps. Less that 95 if you're good.

Most of the apps you listed are system apps and will, by their nature find there way into memory all the time. That's just how it is.
After a few hours of use many of the non-used apps will drop out of memory and others will take their place.
Loading applications into memory has a time and processing cost and so if it's already in memory, it's quicker to access.
However the Android system doesn't know your usage traits at start-up and that's why some less used system applications may be seem in memory until they're weeded out by those you do use. Again, nothing to worry about,
Using an XPERIA X10i with ~384MB of memory leaves little room for bloatware and thus a lean running machine is the order of the day for the XPERIA X10i.
I use SystemPanel to identify apps that are running, and Titanium to freeze apps that I don't want to run. Here is a list of apps that I have safely froze, and a list of apps that I am considering freezing but too scared because I don't know for sure what they do.
Apps that are safe to freeze:
AllShare -- never ran it, so I don't know what I am missing
Buddies Now -- never ran it, so I don't know what I am missing
com.sec.android.samsungapps.una --not sure what it was, but I don't seem to miss it
Daily Briefing --downloads news and stuff to show in its widget.
DRM Protected Content Storage --needed for the Avatar movie.
DRMContentLauncher --needed for the Avatar movie
Fancy Widget --comes with macnut
QuickOffice --lets you view MS Office documents. Not sure why it would need to run all the time though
SNS --social networking sync. I think it's needed for the social hub
SNS Account -- same as SNS above
Social Hub --an app that shows FB and twitter posts
Visual Voicemail --Never used it or needed it. Who uses voicemail anymore??
Voice Dialer --I don't use voice dialing
Wi-Fi Calling --Freezing this one is strange because it still shows as running even after being frozen. Maybe it should be deleted???
wssyncmlnps --another syncing app for one of the apps that I have froze above, I believe
Apps that I am considering freezing, but too scared since I don't know what they do:
BadgeProvider
com.sec.android.providers.downloads
Mobile tracker settings
My Uploads
Task Manager
Wi-Fi Calling --well, I know what this does, but freezing it won't stop it, so it might need to be deleted.
MTP Application
Gallery --why does this continue to run in the BG all the time?
HTC_IME mod
LogsProvider
Processes running under System Processes that I am considering freezing, but too scared since I don't know what they do
mmcqd 0.2
sensorserver_ya 0.1
mediaserver 0.1
rild 0.0
evetns/0 0.0
pvr_workqueue 0.0
zygote 0.0
Anyone want to add to the list, or explain what some of the apps that I am considering freezing actually do?
By the way, I am using the Macnut R13 ROM.
hey nice list...
one question off topic
i can't seem to find Social Hub in my r13 rom..... do you? i know Samsung IM & Email are probably part of samsung social hub.. but i cant seem to find the social hub app itself... weird..
All ROM Devs have removed wifi-calling because you can never shut it down and it eats through your battery.

I'm running Obsidian V5 and I uninstalled wifi calling all together.. I dont plan on using it. Here's others I froze/uninstalled without seeing any issues or anything:
- android live wallpapers 2.2 (dont use any)
- buddies now
- calendar 1.1 (dont use)
- calendar storage 1.1
- calendar sync
- car home 1.2
- car home 2.2
- desk home 1.0
- email 2.2
- feeds & updates (not sure what it is, but hasnt affected anything ive noticed)
- files 1.0
- google voice 0.4.2.8
- live wallpaper picker 2.2
- manage online album 1.0
- samsung apps 1.2.183
- talk 1.3 (dont use it - dont know what it is but always running)
- task manager 1.11
- voice dialer 2.2
- voice search 2.0.1
Wifi calling can be uninstalled through Titanium, but you need to reboot immediately because it will cause constant FCs.
As for the others, I wouldn't touch sns or the providers.downloads. The latter is necessary for market downloads I believe. Also leave the system processes alone unless you want to Odin back.

hello, uhm i just installed titanium backup pro (TBP) and i have one question:
does TBP need to stay running on the background for frozen apps to stay frozen?

No, it doesn't need to run in the background (i.e., just freeze or un-freeze with TB and you're set to go).
Just went back to baseband .55 after noticing the terrible effect .58 had on my battery.
Long story short; I decided to install a fresh copy of FreeX10 beta 4 and after erasing the stock Facebook app w/ Titanium, I wanted to ask around if anyone has the same annoyance I'm facing and how they got around it:
The Facebook app starts on its own ALL THE TIME.
I've tried different Task Killers, Startup Auditor, Autostart and similar programs to prevent Facebook from starting every few minutes.
Anyone have any recommendations? I only check Facebook once or twice on my phone, and I use Tweetdeck for that. I like having contact profiles having their profile pics updated to the latest status changes, but I can live without it.

I have an HTC Desire Z, and it's been acting strangely lately. I hear it play the startup sound when it's in my pocket, meaning the phone has crashed when I wasn't even doing anything. I suppose it's time for a hard reset. I'm very reluctant to do this, but when I missed an important call the other day because my "com.htc.phone" (or whatever) application crashed and I didn't notice, that was the last straw.
What is a checklist of things I should do before hard resetting? So far, I've:
1) Backed up SMS
2) Taken screenshots of all my home screens so as to put the icons back in the same place
3) Taken screenshots of the application settings screens so as to install all the same applications again
4) Taken screenshots of some of the other settings screens, so as to use the same ringtone, background, SMS beep, etc.
What are some other steps I should take? I'm scared that I won't get my phone set up the same way again. My phone is great right now, it's just how I like it - except for the crashes.
Is your phone rooted? If so, TitaniumBackup (TB) would be all you need. You can get TitaniumBackup, free and paid, from the market. TB can backup your screen settings according to the launcher apps. For example, I use Go Launcher and when I do a full backup of Go Launcher, it will backup icons positions and everything else that I have changed in Go Launcher.
It may not be necessary to reset your whole device if your just getting one or two processes force closing themselves. The first thing to check is see if you have installed an app that might be conflicting with system apps (try and remember the last time it was working correctly and uninstall apps that you've installed since then).
If this isn't the issue you can also try to wipe app data/cache for the app in question. I hope this makes sense

Well, I'm not really sure what's causing the problem. My phone came installed with crapware, and lately I've found software installing itself on my phone without my knowledge. I know for a fact the "QQ Security" crapware the phone came with did indeed prevent my phone from functioning correctly.
Hi guys, some people are reporting apps going missing after a reboot. These apps are always installed in the internal memory, so not in the phone memory, and they may reappear after another reboot.
As discussed on androidforums.com and communities-origin.sonyericsson.com (I can't post any links yet - just search for "xperia s" apps disappearing internal)
My phone has this problem too. It allegedly has to do with the internal memory being initialized slightly too late during phone bootup.
Questions:
has any of you smart people found a solution or workaround to this?
is anyone else suffering from the same bug?
Do you know what?
I had the same issue..
Then i installed and used Go Launcher Ex as main launcher and i haven't had that problem again.
Now is almost a week that i'm back to the stock launcher, and the "missing app" issue is back.
So i think that is something related to the Sony launcher (and i have all apps in internal memory).
I've had the problem too and thought they had gone. It was only after holding down the volume and power button to reset that triggered it. Anyway after re-booting normaly all was well.

I'm using Launcher Pro and have these issues constantly, but the problem is not related to the launcher - the apps are gone from the entire system. Play Store treats them as not installed, TitaniumBackup cannot run or restore them.
Every time I reboot there's at least one app missing - can be as much as four. And it's quite random too - you cannot tell in advance which one(s) will be missing.
Some more info: FW .73, rooted, DoomKernel, Supercharged to 768 HP, SD Booster at 2048 KB, Launcher Pro 0.8.6.
I had the same problem and I think I have a solution - after reboot, leave the phone be for about 2-3 minutes. do not unlock, do not type PIN.
Just restart and put the phone away for few minutes. All apps that were gone are back and working. No new apps missing. I hope it works for you too!
its a bug , i think there are a few threads in here about it...
ics will fix this , we hope
