Hi all,
Lately my tab is freezing at random moments. When opening gmail, youtube, browsing, settings, .. I can't use it longer than 5min or it will crash.
I'm running CM 10.1 nightly 20130118, Kernel 3.1.10-cyanogenmod (never upgraded this).
I have also tried older CM versions (CM 10, older CM10.1's, CM9) and AOKP -> same problem.
When I install a new rom I always wipe cache partition, wipe data/factory reset, wipe dalvik cache first.
I'm running CMW Recovery v6.0.2.7. Today I also installed a new bootloader (US_LPL_4.0.4_bootloader) but still the same issue.
Any ideas? Is it possible to do a harder reset than I already do? Should I maybe install a kernel update?
Thanks!
either you are overclocking and not stable, keep installing back the same bad app which is wreaking havoc, restoring from an old TB backup which is not playing nice on current stuff, installing some hack/mod which is wreaking havoc, or you have a hardware issue.
odin back to stock ics (this will completly wipe the whole tab out) and observe for a few days.

Never overclocked so I'm afraid it's a HW issue.
Just installed stock ics and it still freezes after a few minutes (without installing any apps).
Guess I'm gonna try to put everything default again (I still have those 0/0/0 folders from JB) and return it to the shop..

Jeps... Sounds like a hw issue if it is still causing the crashes on stock, how long do you use your tab now? maybe it has nothing to do with time, but just want to know..

I have it for about 9 months now but never really used it alot. I think in total maybe 40-50hours (watching movies on holidays etc).
I did leave it on the table once while the sun was shining through the window so that might have overheated the tab a bit.. Not sure if the issues started right after that. I could still watch a movie on it etc, now it crashes after 5min max.

I have the same setup as you and my tablet starts to crash this week. Gmail won't stay for 2 mins
Try this!
You need to wipe it clean and make sure your 16G is not getting full. You can use any file manager ap to start your clean up, which is all you need if the hardware is not damaged. Ok, so go to root and remove any excess file you might have, this will eliminate memory issues. Next, reboot into recovery, hope you are rooted, then wipe everything including delvic. Install your ROM [INFAMOUS_2.2], the best I have tested, and reboot your system. If you can't do this you need to reinstall CWM, I use 5.5.1.7, and then reflash your rom. If this doesn't get you back in the clouds contact me.

Hi all,
I installed CM7 on my TP a ways back but never really used it and stuck with WebOS. I decided to upgrade to CM9 Alpha2 yesterday and did without any issues. I then got curious about CherryKang and decided what the heck. I was able to install CherryKang but now I am having a few issues:
1. When booting CM is still listed in MoBoot and CherryKang is not. If I select CM, then I get the CM boot screen for a sec and then CherryKang boot screen comes up. Not that big of a deal, just hoping to get it setup right.
2. The Gallery force closes every single time.
3. Occasionally unresponsive when trying to wake it up. I always put it to sleep when I am done by pressing the power button, but I have to reset it to wake it up about 30-40% of the time.
Those are my only issues so far. Other than that I'm diggin' ICS.
1. CherryKang is based on CM9, if you don't like it change the name to cherrykang. Or something that suits you.
2. Reflash?? I had CherryKang before and I had no issues, try gallery++cm from market or play store whatever
3. Reflash?? + maybe wipe everything??

I tried wiping the cache, dalvik cache from CWM but no luck. Then re-downloaded and reflashed but still no luck. Ended up going back to CM9 Alpha2 and so far has been stable. I've been able to wake it up without issue far....
You may want to try and restall CM9 with the Acmeinstaller2 method. I read that although you can use CWM to go from CM7 to CM9, you can get leftover files/directories that could may or may not cause issues in CM9.
after using Acmeinstaller2 to get to CM9, you can safely use CWM to flash other CM9 roms. Also, before you flash, use classicnerd's moboot uimage and tga cleaner to wipe out previous boot images left by other roms.
Many people just wipe the cache and dalvik caches before flashing, and don't do the factory reset. I always do, because the roms seem to have less issues if I do the factory reset.
I've had a couple of instances in more than one rom where the lock screen doesn't respond (touch screen doesn't work) and I have to reboot, so I just disable the lock screen all together.
Gallery is currently working on my install of cherrykang, but I prefer Quickpic from the market, and usually install it right away.
I believe the boot option issue is because it uses the standard CM kernel, so that's what it boots up. If you flash the Bricked kernel, and entry will appear for that, even though you're using the CherryKang.
I too was getting the problem where it became unresponsive. What seemed to mostly work was setting the minimum clock up to 384mhz. You can use SetCPU from the market, or CPU Master (free in the market -- that's what i used). I had some problems again last night, but overall it seemed to help. His latest version did set the min clock speed to 200-something.
Thanks for all the tips guys. Still running strong with no lockups after going back to the original Alpha2.
I actually tried setting the min CPU higher prior to going back to [email protected] but that didn't work either. I still have my kids TP to install CM9 on so I might try CherryKang on that.
I am having real issues with 4.0.4, When I upgraded to ICS from GB I did the usual clear caches, factory reset and all the rest, but performance was slow, the phone would restart, the phone would lock up resulting in having to remove the battery to get it going again, I've had apps close unexpectedly, launcher crashing and restart, it was a major pain in the behind. I thought OK I will install a custom ROM so I installed CM9, did the usual reset procedure etc but still performance is not great, its like the phone is struggling with memory or something, and yesterday opened the BBC news app and the entire phone locked up again resulting in having to remove the battery, so the same issues are happening on a custom rom that I had on stock.
So I am wondering is it something with 4.0.4 or is it something with my phone? Memory problems etc.

- update your apps to latest versions via playstore for best compatibility.
- don't restore app + data using titanium backup after upgrade, or flashing CM9, it will drag down the performance. You can however, restore apps only.

You might be onto something, I used TB to restore app & data on CM9

and that's the reason why you have sluggish performance.
If you read the warnings on CM9 thread, first post, it's categorically started there too

If you have been rooting in the past then it might be a problem for you my i9100 has ics 4.0.4 no problems flawless.Try downloading a stock rom from samfirmware.com
I have been using Omega rom for many months however recently the phone started to lag very bad, so I tried updating it to the latest update of Omega,however there was no improvement even after a clean fresh install.
So I decided to go back to a stock rom not realising I needed certain functions that only a custom rom provides.
However ever since the loading of the stock rom and re-rooting the phone, every custom rom I have tried, Omega and Sensation, after start up when installing the rom, within 5min the phone just crashes and I cannot do anything unless I take the battery out.
Why would this crashing keep occuring and what could I do to resolve this issue?
Just tried tried flashing Sensation again and installed fine but within 2mins of completing the install, it crashed and I had to take out the battery and reinsert to finish my first time setup, which this time completed.
I then allowed the phone to reload apps trhough google play and within 5mins of installing it again crashed although the charging icon is moving but I cannot select anything on the screen...

did you try full wiping ur s3 and then reinstall omega

When you say full wipe, do you mean through CWM?
I did wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik.
Installed rom will full wipe selected.
After installing, wipe data and cache again.
Still crashing...
Omega problem ask in the Omega thread makes a lot more sense .

I had the same issue with Android Revolution.
Since reverting to stock rom, things seem fine now...

Hi All,
I have a weird problem. My galaxy S2 is getting crashed when I use some apps like,
sync up with GMail, play TempleRun game etc., suddenly screen goes blank, and nothing happens. And when I restart, it crashes again during booting.
But surprisingly this crashing is not happening when I do the same while connected to external power, i.e., when it is charging.
I thought it might be with ROM, so i've flashed different ROMs like, RootBox, CyanogenMod etc., but still it is getting crashed.
Even I changed Kernels also, Dorimanx, Siyah and even base kernel which comes with Cyanogenmod too.
So any body could help me out ?
I tried to get the log, but don't know how to check/get the log where I could see the crash file/app.
Regards,
Hereticnine.

When installing a ROM.
What is the procedure you follow?
It should be this:
1) Factory reset
2) Flash ROM (Rootbox stable version 4.2 for example, make sure you check the md5 sum to make sure it is not a corrupted file)
3) Flash GApps
3) Wipe cache
4) Wipe Dalvik cache
5) Boot device, leaving everything default (kernel etc.)
Then try if everything works without crashing.

Hi,
I did a clean install with full wipe. Still I'm facing this weird crashing problem.
And crash is not happening when I'm in charging mode i.e., when S2 is connected to power cable, its happening only when I use the mobile on battery.
Regards,
Hereticnine.
You are absolutely sure this happens on a clean, full wipe factory reset etc., install?
Because if it is, I'm afraid you are facing with a hardware issue.
The battery could be broken (age, water damage, bumps) somehow for example.
If it is hardware related, to me it seems to be a failing battery (although I'm not an expert).
You could try borrowing a battery from some1 and see if the problem still exists.
Last resort is really flashing stock ROM through ODIN, maybe this will fix the issue.
If this isn't the case you should probably bring it to a service depot for repair (also why you will need to have a stock ROM on your device).

Hello all, I am having some issues with 4.3 roms that I hope someone is able to help with.
I first noticed the problems after flashing PA 4.3, and after doing the usual restoration of my apps, I found that some of them now stutter very badly, the key apps that come to mind are Feedly, Dolphin browser, Opera, and the stock browser.
I searched the thread for users suffering from the same problems, but none seemed to have it. Therefore I took it as my own fault and tried to reflash the rom again. When flashing a rom, I always do the following: Full wipe, with system, preload, data all formatted. This I do via Philz recovery.
I then restored all my apps as usual via titanium backup, and still found the problem to exist. I took it as perhaps bad luck of mine, that my phone just would not play nice with PA 4.3. I then tried other 4.3 roms, PACman and liquidsmooth, but again the problems occurred.
This time, I eliminated my backups as a possible culprit by only downloading the affected apps via playstore immediately after a fresh install (after the entire wifi, google setup) and nothing else. However, these apps are still affected by the stuttering problem.
Flashing to 4.2.2 roms do not present this issue at all.
Therefore i searched for possible incompatibilities of the apps with 4.3, but was not able to find anything. Seeing as no other users of the roms are having the same problems as me, I can only concur that it may be something I am doing wrong, so I am hoping if anyone can help shed some light on this situation I am in, thank you.
Summary:
- Several apps stuttering on 4.3
- Full wipe fresh install with no other apps installed does not fix problem
- Issue is not present on 4.2.2
- Multiple 4.3 roms tested
Info:
Liquidsmooth JB - v2.9
Googy Max kernel 1.7.5
Philz recovery 5.11.2
If more info is required, I would be happy to provide.

I did not notice my notifications drawer stutter, however i mostly run in expanded desktop mode with PIE and halo so i do not use the notifications much. I was always on googy kernel for my roms, and tried using the phone, but gave up after 1 day because the experience was terrible with stutters and all. I also tried a cache wipe and dalvik wipe but to no avail.

the above is strange indeed. I am running SlimBean 4.3 since the first beta and never experienced stutters (also with TB restores).
You could try to setup your phone from scratch with MegaWipe (it will wipe anything clean, only leaves your external SD intact), whereas I would be surprised if this will help. Otherwise did you try another kernel (e.g. Yank's)?

Aye, hoping to exhaust every possible means before such a drastic "nuke" is attempted. I used yank before googy, but to eliminate all possible causes, i have only installed the apps that are affected on a clean fresh rom with no modifications or other apps installed. Since its impossible for 3 clean roms to be having the problem, its either me or my phone.
Oh and on an extra note, my phone has died from SDS twice, both times i have sent it back for repair. After the second time, i believe they updated my bootloader iirc, so it now has the red "!" sign after a software flash. Using the emmc checker app, it is also no longer the sds affected version.

I guess you are correct considering that:
(1) your procedure of flashing a rom is following the guides
(2) you tried different ROMs
(3) you tried different kernels
knowing that you had SDS problems, maybe it was not resolved 100%? I had, for quite some time, also occasional freezes and lags and the procedure here helped me to solve them, maybe also worth a try?

Thank you, I will try that out later. I AM having some bootloop issues but that is on 4.2.2, no freezes though, but the DFG seems like it wouldnt hurt to try.

Well I tested the DFG out, now back on 4.3 but issues still present sadly. One thing i did notice about my browsers though, is that it only starts to stutter when running 2 or more tabs. On one tab alone, it is smooth. Most of the other apps are also functioning smoothly. I guess I will stick with the setup for now and use replacement apps for the affected ones.
