[Q] Samsung Galaxy SII lag/stutter - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
Since I have updated my phone to 2.3.4(KI2), my phone is lagging. Swyping from left to right on home screen isnt smooth anymore. When I'm watching a video on youtube, my phone is stuttering every 3 seconds. It freeze for about 1 sec. but the audio is still going. It's really annoying. I haven't had any trouble when I was running 2.3.3(KE2).
What I've already tried:
-Factory reset
-I have rooted my phone and installed miui and later cynagomod. I haven't had any lag on these custom roms, but I want a stock rom.
-Custom kernel with stock rom.
-I flashed back to KE2 and I haven't had any lag on there but I want to run the latest version because of the battery on 2.3.3.
Can someone help me?

Are you using any power save apps and/or internal power saving? That could have something to do with it.

2.3.3 or 2.3.4?

Can someone help me?

hmmm... still have the problem no solution found yet.

It could be the google widgets. Youtube and gallery do it for me. So far I am thinking that 2.3.3 is the least buggy...

Why not try a custom rom with stock looks + custom kernel, if not, try setcpu and check ondemandx or higher scaling, or you can also try watchdog app from market to if there any app or service eating the processor.

Cognition X2 is the custom "stock" ROM. You might try that.

I see a similar issue if I use certain governors in setcpu. Using the performance governor however seems to resolve it immediately. If you need a kernel recommendation try Siyahs latest.

I currently run 4.0.3 Icecream Build ICS.XXLP2 but it locks up and gets very HOT at times till I remove the battery and then power it up again.
all other functions seem fine but i think its time to try a later version.

Suggest you try a different Kernel. Both Speedmod and Siyah (check thread for viability of latest release... I'm using 3.1 beta 3 without problems. Use Better Battery Stats to identify what is keeping the phone awake (see thread for more information).
Try a different ROM (Turkbey is working well for me and I think is compatible across Europe and has good language support).
Good luck!

Im currently running litening rom 2.7 on vodafone australia im very happy with it. its based on lp7 im also running abyss kernel 2.0 very good .there is a few kernels you can try to see what works for you. http://www.nonsolosmartphone.it/abyssics-kernel-t133.html http://z13.invisionfree.com/Litening/index.php?

Just installed 4.0.3 Icecream Build ICS.XXLP6 (I9100XXLP6_I9100OXXLP3_OXX)
and will run that for a few days and see it it locks up.
If it does then some major changes I think Like suggested above.
Thanks
Quit being lazy. Try a bunch of roms out until you find one you like/that works well for you. Given how easy it is to make/restore a Nandroid backup in CWM, there's no excuse for you not doing this.

Start here, there are a list of GB kernels - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1425091
I had good luck with Incredikernel using IncrediControl from the market to manage it. I recommend beta 6.

[Q] Screen off but won't wake, Why?

Hello SGS2 users! Has anyone experienced this problem before?
I was originally running VK 5.1.2 without a problem then I flashed RR 2.5.3; didn't really like the theme then I came across PFittech ROM GTX which I thought "Wow!".
After flashing, I noticed that when the screen went off and locked, it won't wake and I need to pull battery and reboot.
As you may know that is extremely inconvenient so I flashed stock rom and went back to VK 5.1.2 but this hasn't stopped the problem
I have done all the wipes (cache, dalvik, factory/data and format system!

Ur having SOD, sleep of death... when ur phone enters deepsleep it wont get up.
this is frequently related with UV, or poor bus freq.
u should flash a kernel cleaner like this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363738
or any other. then u have to flash a new kernal.
Thanks mate! Will try this now
Still there
Firstly, I flashed stock firmware, then I flashed cf-root. Went into recovery and done a full wipe and flashed the script.
I done another wipe then installed VK Rom (I have never had a problem with this) and left the phone for 30 secs on screen off and it came back.
What should I do next?
Should I check all settings for CPU and GPU? Revert them to standard? I don't touch those settings as I don't have a great knowledge of changing volts and clock speeds.
Maybe you could let it on stock (unrooted) and see if it happens again...

I flashed the stock LPB firmware and used it for a full day and I never experience any SoD. Tried a few custom roms and still having the error.
Although there may seem there is nothing wrong with the phone, I have never had a problem with any roms I use. All the roms I am trying are previous downloads that have worked successfully so I doubt there is any corruption.
I won't be giving up and I will be trying everything and anything... the now I am going to try Gingerbread based roms and see if I still get the error. If anyone else has any more ideas please tell me.

Can i suggest u to use rootbox ics?? Is almost flawless and i thinkbu wont have any problem
If u still getting sod u could try giving a little more voltage to ur cpu or bus...if u use fluxi with this rom is very easy to do that

Im a first time root user i flashed RR 2.5.3 with fluxi kernel over my stock ics its running very smoth and had no problem so far
You might need to check your cpu frequency i read her that if it was set to less than 200Mhz you might have the sleep of death issue

I have tried RR 2.5.3 and had no problems in the past but now it is also giving me the SoD. Only on stock firmware I don't get it and I don't touch the cpu freq but I will take a look on the clock freqs.

Thats is pretty wierd...had u made a full wipe installation??? No one had any issue like that
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
I always do a full wipe but today I've seen something unusual.
Kernel Panic Upload Mode came up when the phone was off?
I am flashing back to GB and see if any SoD appear.
Mate, there is something wierd with ur phone...
There sure is.. I am running KI3 GB with CF Root and not received any SoD. Seems to be only on custom roms?
Good news! I fixed it!
What I did:
First of all, I had an extended battery and I swapped it for the old battery (Because of case with stand it won't fit)
Flashed stock GB (XXKI3)
Flashed CF-Root KI3
Full Wipe (Cache, Factory/Data, Dalvik, Battery stats)
Format System
Flashed Kernel Cleaner
Flashed VK 5.1.2
Flashed Siyah 3.3.2
So after doing all this, the SoD has gone. So it must be a problem with Fluxi on my device.
I may be wrong but after doing this the problem stopped and I am happy again
So thank you to you all who tried to help!
I have the same problem, except my SOD also has high battery drain even though the phone is pretty much useless. Very annoying when you are relying on the alarm clock. Did you also notice high battery drain?
I found it happened on Thebyani 4.3, not on 4.4, and now it happened on 4.5. Im hoping the kernel cleaner and the latest Siyah kernel will fix it. Any kernels you guys recommend if it still happens?

well gr8 then mate!
Q: could u ever tryed giving some more voltage to cpu in fluxi?
I had a high battery drain already abd i bought a new extended battery. I am charging the device the now and it has heated but i took it off and turn it off to cool. I am going to recalibrate the battey
Try doing what I did to see if it helps.
Flash a stock unrooted firmare and see if you still get SoD
Ive been using my phone since i posted and not had one SoD.
Do you mess with your freqs? Try keeping them to basic

- Do a factory reset, it is recommended after software upgrade or downgrade
- switch to custom kernel if the problem persists
Good luck

yes
Yes, on ICS the battery drain was very fast while using wifi or screen on sometimes it drained 1% in 1 sec so in 10 mins 10%.
I am currently on stock gingerbread rom (rooted)
I few minutes back installed one live wall paper and noticed that screen use to come up after few seconds. After uninstall the same screen has not come up.
But still i can see awake 3m (188 secs) 16.1%.
thanks

Speedmod kernel, make sure you are flashing the gingerbread version.
Flashing an ICS kernel will result into bootloops

i would like to recommend u to use stock kernel
and make sure to do a full wipe also format / system before flashing
a stock rom (untouched) and check ur battery if drain fast... then u should replace it ...

this is due to the fact that your battery reading is still inaccurate, the fuel gauge is trying to settle down/calibrate your battery.
Ps: if you can reupgrade back to ICS, I'm sure I'll be able to narrow down and fix your battery drain issue

since you presently have root access, you can just flash a custom stock based Rom, with less bugs all the way.
It's faster and safer than using kies or whatever they call it

What version android is it running?
Is the phone rooted or running a custom rom?
Does the phone boot up and run at all?
What version android is it running?
I have tried different roms the current one is supernexus 4.2.2 and the last was PA 3.5#. PA seemed to run the best so far
Is the phone rooted or running a custom rom?
Rooted w/ custom rom
Does the phone boot up and run at all?
Yes and for the most part it worked fine, it just rebooted randomly.
I have tried a bunch of other ROMs as well but they seem to crash a lot / random reboot more.
I installed the ROMs myself (I know how to do it) and he never touched the system, when I installed I used TWRP 2.5.0.0 deleted cache, system, factory reset installed rom and cleaned cache afterwards.
He has a bell Galaxy Note - i717 which is calle QunicyATT i believe.
One partially unresolved issue with the 4.2.2 roms are random reboots, due to the kernel they have been building with.
There are some stable rom-kernel combinations available.

It doesn't need to be 4.2.2, just anything stable and minus TW crap.
What TouchWiz crap?
You can use the debloated stock and change to any launcher.
I have to chime in and say ... ics Gubment Cheeze was ALWAYS as stable as stock for me ... yes I am very partial to it But it is fact .. but any ics rom should do the trick for you ... (but Cheeze is best) .. best of luck
