Having a lot of lag lately.... - Hero CDMA General

I'm running Fresh 2.1.2 and I've been having a ton of issues with lag that I never had on Fresh 2.0d. Are people having lag issues on the official 2.1 release too? I've tried to check and see what's running when the lag is happening, and it seems consistent with an app updating itself. I'll go to the list and see that mail has 5% or twitter (not peep) is updating and at 10% or something, but nothing is ever over that and it's always just one or two apps like that and the phone is unusable until they are done.
Now I'm noticing that if my phone is just sitting on the desk and someone calls, it takes a good 5 seconds for the phone to display the screen that tells me who it is. It vibrates, waits a couple seconds, then the default ring tone starts to play, then a couple seconds later the display comes up that says who is calling.
It generally is running like ass. It did not do this before on Fresh 2.0d. I was running apps2sd on that as well as on here. It seems that the only difference between fresh 2.0d and 2.1.2 is the fact that it's now the official released rom. Are people with the official rom having the same issues??? If they are, I'm going back to 2.0d. It ran completely fine. This is starting to get on my nerves and is not the experience I want....

Just go back to 2.0d. I ran 2.1.2 for a very short time and I couldn't take it anymore plus you know that the sprint 2.1 has confirmed issues one of which is the sdcard

Where can I get the original 2.0d now? Can someone post a download link to it please? I'm also experiencing a lot of lag these days as well..
Here's a quote from Fresh Toast v2.1:
A note on slowness: It is coming to our attention that there are several bugs in the latest Sprint 2.27.651.5 RUU which is the official Sprint release. It doesn't surprise me that there are bugs considering our original 1.5 had plenty. The main one that we have come across is a service called com.htc.bg that sucks up your processor. This causes that phone to become extremely laggy and overall run like crap. Go read my new FAQ: Why is my Android phone running so slow? to see what you can do about it, and to report the issue. Keep in mind that this would be a Sprint bug and not Fresh Rom / Fresh Toast.

I think this is why we're experiencing lag, hopefully someone can find a fix for it..
EDIT: Nvm, found the link, here it is:
http://geekfor.me/new-release/fresh-20d

I think you guys are right. I've been toying with the idea of using Fresh Toast to get overclocking, but 2.0d just worked for me and I had no real issues other than keyboard lag.

Are you guys running w/ Auto Killer (or alternative TK) or no? I've been running FT w/ AutoKiller set to Extreme, with max time between boots having been about 48 hours, and haven't seen any significant slowdown the longer the phone's been on..

market is slow

is it just me or is the market running very slow in froyo?
This message was deleted by its author
any ideas why?
Check your logs, it's the usual socket timeout issues, like when you switch for a new Android phone... it should disappear very soon (I had it for an hour earlier)
it was working for me, but now things are downloading and not installing... they just sit there at 100%...
I can't say I notice Market being slow but this is really pissing me off... I bought bTunes and a couple other apps and Market has them marked as Buy as if I don't own them.
WTF.
I'm getting that too, bTunes says Buy, but a lot of other protected apps just don't show up! Is this happening for everyone?

Good call... MLB At Bat is MIA. Hopefully this is a quick fix for the Market crew. I think I should shoot them an email to make them aware.
Protected apps like m bank´s are disent from this version of the Marquet...
That´s my only problem with this awesome 2.2 update.
At a guess most of them are probably to do with the new apps2SD, no doubt when devs start updating them with the new move to SD tags we still start seeing them again
Going to give it a few days before I complain about not having some paid apps (bTunes) though, hopefully thats an easy fix!
really slow
I also see the market is really really slow, I wonder if 2.2 is going somewhere else for data and that source was not ready for everyone to jump on the unconventional means of getting 2.2 up; also, some apps I had are not available and do not come up in searching the market.
Edit: Almost uncanny, but after pressing submit post, both problems disappeared and the market is now the fastest I have ever experienced. Installing and browsing at super speed. No reboot, or anything and my market is normal. Hope it works itself for others so fast
same here some apps arnt there anymore. it happened when the desire came out, protected apps wouldnt show. am sure they had to do an update on the phone to get it working.
i had same problem when start it for the 1st time after flashing yesterday, problem went away after a couple of reboot, now everything is incredibly fast.
Slow!? Lol you must be kidding me.... i have been using Cyanogenmod 5.0.6 for quite awhile and i had to wait, hang on... 5 minutes everytime downloading 1 app.
Here on Froyo, its just instant!
Froyo FTW.
I'ts a common issue it will fix himself (don't ask me how). I had this problem to and one day it fixed itself. This was also with 2.1.
This problems starts when you make a fresh start. There was a silent update for the market and if you have this update market is working fast enough else you have to be patient and wait till you get the update (again).
If you didn't make a fresh start and updated you won't be seeing this slowness of the market.

Bugs still present in Froyo 3.21.605.1 / Radio 2.15.00.07.28

Like many others, after updating to the leaked radio 2.15.00.07.28 a few weeks ago, market installs began hanging, and 3G didn't always start after powering on. The fix for the market hang is to manually stop and restart the download/install, and the fix for 3G is to enter and exit airplane mode.
Surprisingly, after RUU'ing with "RUU_Incredible_C_Froyo_VERIZON_WWE_3.21.605.1_Radi o_2.15.00.07.28", and then later wiping and applying "Incredible Sense/Froyo v3.21.605.1 *Official Release* (100% stock, rooted)" via Clockworkmod, these bugs are still present!!
If you originally installed the leaked radio, then updated to the "official" OTA, do you have these bugs?
If you never installed the leaked radio, but have installed (or received) the official OTA, are you seeing these bugs?
I'm still running the 7/27 release with some of the fixes. Baseband is 2.05.00.06.11.
Sometimes my 3G doesn't turn on, so I empathize. Rarely will I have that market problem, but it will sometimes happen.
....makes me think it isn't neccessarily a problem with the official release or the newer radio.....
I never installed early leaks or anything until I did the RUU file the other day. I do not experience either of those bugs.
If you did the RUU, then its as if you started with a stock Incredible.
For the 3G issue, what is your wifi sleep policy set at? Is it never?

After you flash the RUU it is always good to do a factory reset. I always do that since WinMo days and never have the bugs.
When I was on the leaked 2.15x radio and 2.2 I never had the 3G problem, but ALL the time, my market would hang like that and it would take 2-3 stop and starts to finally get the download going.
It's definitely the 2.15 radio, and not the OS. These problems occur after a fresh RUU, with a completely clean OS, both stock, and rooted. Also, Wi-Fi is off.
As a test, I restored back to the stock radio/rom following "[GUIDES] Root, nand unlock, radio update, Froyo 2.2 update, Restore stock radio/rom". While back to stock 2.1, and the 1.x radio, every single time after powering on the phone, the 3G icon appears after less than a minute, and data works fine. Again, with the original radio, 3G starts every time.
Next, I ran "RUU_Incredible_C_Froyo_VERIZON_WWE_3.21.605.1_Rad i o_2.15.00.07.28" and repeated the test. At least 50% of the time after powering on, the 3G icon doesn't appear, and there is no data...until airplane mode is turned on, then off.
Could someone running the "official OTA" please run this test? Make sure your Wi-Fi is off, then power off your phone. Wait a few seconds, and power it back on. Don't do anything after boot until the screen times out. Next, check for the 3G icon, and check data by starting your browser. Repeat this at least 3 times, and let me know the results!
I'm obviously VERY interested if my phone has a problem, or if others are seeing this. Thanks!
I upgraded the radio (from 1.00 to 2.15) via Diacius's guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=760651
Also installed RMK40's Official 2.2 ROM update: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765930
All of it was done this weekend. No problems yet.
No I am not running the Official OTA but I am running the RUU. I did have the 3G failure one time on the first day but not since.
I ran your test 3 times and the 3G icon comes up every time. Last by the way. And yes, the internet works.
I know this is not what you asked for but hope it helps
I installed leaked version. Works GREAT! However a fw of my apps when I wanted to load them again through the market "The requested item could not be found"
Is this because they wont work with 2.2 or is something else?
Thanks

Note a couple of things here.
1. You should always reprogram your phone after installing a radio or rom. This tends tohelp with some of the drop outs. of 3G.
2. The RUU includes a PRI update that NONE of us have been able to flash, and is likely the answer to these random drop outs.
I did the RUU update and I have to say I am disappointed.
I am having doubt about the RUU being the same as the OTA.
Rosie reloads after exit from astro file manager, not always but a few times so far.
Screen brightness has a mind of it own and it took upward of 25 seconds for the screen to brighten up after an interaction (not the backlight, but the brightness).
Overall slowness, it might have better benchmark but feel sluggish.
It might be something on my part during flash, but I doubt it.
Google action is the only improvement for 2.2. Don't see anything to write home about on the 720p.
And that's all folks! nothing else that I personally use or care about that's an improvement over 2.1.
Astro crashes Rosie and you blame the OS?
Interesting.
I still have problems with the lock screen not wanting to unlock. I'll drag it to the bottom and it'll just bounce back up.
In 2.1 I could hit menu and all will be well, in the RUU theres no hope, I eventually had to restart the phone just to clear the lock screen.
I thought the RUU had improved my phone, but then I tried installing a deodexed version and **** hit the fan. I even tried going back to the regular 2.2 before I had installed the deodexed one and still had issues.
My problems:
Battery drains ultra fast, when barely using phone.
Market doesn't download stuff right
hot battery
I noticed the biggest culprit after viewing battery info was
Android System
Phone Idle
Cell Standby
I think it might be the radio that is causing the issue.
I am about to go to the 2.05 radio. Seems it was a better radio and had less issues.
Marketplace: I have had the issue with the market download stalling, but that's only happened when downloading multiple installs. I've never had it happen on a single install. Hardware or Software? Don't know yet, but I'd assume software is missing a reply ACK back to the server on the multiple downloads. Who knows.
Radio Issues: NEVER had the 3G problem. 3G is always going strong, unless I'm in the tunnels beneath the buildings here, then I drop to 1x or lose all connectivity. When I return to the surface, I'm back at 3G with no problems.
I've rebooted my phone probably 10 times since installing the RUU, 3G has always come up fine.

2.05x radio I think would just be worse.
how long have you been running 2.2??
You need to give it at least a week to settle down and everything.
It's like when you first got the phone my battery life sucked the first week until it settled it, it's the same way with going from 2.1 to 2.2.
I suggest charging to 100%. then wiping battery stats, and don't plug back in until phone dies, then use for a few days and see how that works. 2.15x radio is what comes with the official OTA 2.2 I don't understand why you would want 2.05 that's old news.
what makes you think your battery issues lie in the radio? just curious

Just seems to be the culprit because I did S-OFF
Then I installed 2.15 radio and then problems started.
So far all seems good. Market downloads aren't getting stuck and my phone isnt getting hot as all hell and my battery isn't dying really fast.

Some of the apps on the market won't work on 2.2 , most have been , or in the process being updated to 2.2.
I flashed the 8/26 leaked RUU to a stock 2.1 phone and my friends that did the same agree that we do not have the bugs named in this thread. They must only be in the the first leaked 2.15 radio. We never installed that radio.

internet/data issue due to different rom?

Anyone here seeing some data issues on the D2 running Fission? I am in a major city, and it seem like I am kind of having some data issues since I starting running Fusion, specially when browsing the web. The internet seems to lag a bit, and connection seems a bit slow(good bit slower than normal). I got a message few times relating to the data connection. I want to say this could be a network issue, but my sister with a Droid Inc, says here data is fine? Any ideas?
Called VZW today up asking if there was an issue on their end, and they said no. Tech then told me to take out the battery for 10-15 seconds and they try the internet when back on. Tech said it could be due to the phone not properly switching from one tower to another. It did work, but about 2 hours latter I was having the same connection issue where pages would no open up, and data was a bit on the slow side. Did the same method again, and that worked. I didn't have this issue on the stock D2 rom, or with my Eris(well that always dropped 3G reception, this is full bars with connection problem). Could this be due to me being on Fission 2.2.2, or is it whole different matter not due to being in Fission? Thanks

Im running 2.2.2 and im not having that issue. My girl has a D1 and she gets the same crappy service i get i really dont think its the rom. And i dont think there is enough of a difference between 2.2.1 and 2.2.2 to have one get different reception than the other
Shot from my level 60 crossbow of awesomness!
Maybe it just my phone then? I guess will see what I can do.
Have your tried a root reset with a reinstall?
I have been having this problem, Data will just stop working all together. Text messages won't get sent or delivered. The 3G icon just shows uploading and not downloading or stops showing anything at all. I can't fix it unless I turn on Airplane Mode then back off or reboot the phone. Right now I'm running Fission 2.1 but I ran into Data issues with the default R2D2 rom.

So the issue your having is not related to a fission rom...
So, I may have solved the issue. I started clean again; cleared all data and status and stuff, then reinstalled 2.2.2, and then hard rested. Only thing I did different was not install the black status bar and all seems fine, and data seems normal.

I hate to say this man, but from my experience, the more "stuff" you throw on top of a rom, the more bugs your gonna encounter. And youll never have the same bug twice...

Im not a dev or anything, but here is an example. I was having problems with a rom i was running last night, reboots and such. The very first thing the dev who made the rom asked me was if i was running a theme. Now, im not saying you shouldnt use custom themes or addons with these roms, but every device is different and will react different. And when your flashing 3-4 different themes over a rom trying to find one you like, or flashing addons then trying to undo them your gonna create some issues. Of course, and i remind you again that im not a dev, this is completely based on my experience, and opinion
I guess with themes that can make sense. I wonder what team defused has to say about this?

[Q] Phone Shuts Down Randomly

My phone will randomly shut down and will not power back on unless I pull the battery, I have 2 batteries and it happens with either one. It does not shut down while on charger/dock. I have wiped the phone multiple times with odin, I've used several different roms/kernals,same results every time. Just curious if anyone else has been experiencing this issue.
I've been experiencing this after I went to eb13 with the custom kernels that are out. But my.phone will either lockup and I have yo pull the battery or it will reboot itself. Never had what happens to u yet.

This has been happening multiple times a day to me. Completely at random. its beginning to become unbearable. My phone will lock up like this about 8-20 times in a day. Someone save meee! hahaha

Permanent sleep
I may have experienced a similar problem, running a DK28 based kernel with both Quantum 2.5 & 2.7 ROM's.
When the phone sleeps and you're not able to wake it, do the 4 buttons at the bottom of the screen still light up? If they do then I have had the same issue. I could only narrow it down to restoring apps+data or putting the phone in sleep while an app is running. Once it was the result of putting the phone in sleep after a FC.
I can only posit that it MAY be an ext4-only ROM related issue, considering I did not have the above situation occur with rfs ROM's or rfs/ext4 dual ROM's. In addition this was only limited to DK28 for me. I was off DI18 <16hrs after I bought the phone. The DK28 gps issue was a non-factor as well, occurred whether gps worked or not.
before updating to 2.2 - I did the DK28 and now the EB13 one - with 2.1 I would have my phone randomly reboot - I would be sitting there and here the music it makes when it starts up but I never turned it off?
other times it would just be turned off, but when I turn it back on the abttery is not low enough to cause it to turn off
all this went away with DK28 2.2 and hasnet happened since I installed EB13 2.2
This happeed to me the other morning. I wasn't able to boot until I reflashed the kernel. Twilight frozen btw.

My first epic would randomly hard power off, even running stock ROMs. If you are running a stock ROM and seeing a hard power off at random, I suggest you go swap the phone. It's just broken.
Ive never had this problem and im on my first and only epic and ive had it since it came out,
Ive been very careful with my epic as it has been great to me, it hates me probaly tho for feeding it stuff while experimenting things that make it spit up FCS,
But my phone has been always working perfect, all the way back to d118.

the buttons don't stay lit, i'm using twilight kernal right now but was happening with genocide kernal too, going back to eclair just to eliminate 2.2, ext4, etc.. to see if it's a hardware issue
First try
dk18 update.zip flash
Restored apps and data with my backup pro root
Random reboots, FC
Second try
Odin to dk18
Wipe x3
Restored apps and data with mybackup pro root
FC, music player force closing (doubletwist, stock and musicmod, poweramp worked though?), fc when trying to change ringtone or notification.
Started reading about others with the same issues and thought data backups were a reoccuring theme. Did a third try tonight and so far so good. Music players working, no force closings, keyboards working correctly, gps lock indoors. Its still early, problems might still popup, thought id share...
Latest froyotempt
Fresh backup with mybackup pro root
Wipe x3
odin eb13 prerooted (ctsy xda forum) same file from attempt 2. Did this x3 as well, read it in a thread somewhere...
backup apps only with mybackup pro root
All attempts were with genocide kernal.
So far so good, none of the previous bugs are apparent, so far... Those of you that are on the fence regarding doing the same, so far its worth the time.

I was thinking back-ups were part of the problem also, so I used odin and started all over from dl18 without restoring any data, same problem still occured
Still messing with my phone, everything that was broken seems to be fixed. Hopefully it stays this way...

That used to happened to me on eclair when I set my setcpu profiles too low when screen off. You wouldn't happen to be using setcpu would you?
actually I am, I have my minimum down to 200 MHz, going to raise it and see if that helps
@400 MHz did it again, trying 800
I'll add to this thread. I seem to be having the same problem and I believe it started when I installed quantum rom... but I'm not sure. The symptoms i had were random reboots, where the screen would shut off and the 4 lights would stay on. Then I would have the sound of lost signal as if my phone rebooted and was starting over. Also, the most recent problem I get is my phone completely shuts off and I need to battery pull to get it to start up, and it loops on the splash screen of my rom. I have tried doing a complete odin wipe and not restoring anything and I believe it is still happening...

Any update?
Also, make sure the governor isn't "powersave". If you have 100-400MHz powersave governor, it still ONLY runs at the lowest speed (100MHz), even if it's 100-400MHz.
Still happening, not on powersave, doesn't matter what settings I have in set cpu. Did a hard reset back to 2.1 and it still happens, bringing it in for repair.

I got that on EB as well. It's weird because it didn't start as soon as I flashed it. It was maybe about a week later when it started doing that. When it happened to me my phone would vibrate sporadically and then the screen would finally go "black" or turn off. The odd thing is the bottom four buttons would stay lit. I would have to pull the battery. It started happening more and more frequently. I've since flashed to EC and am rooted but that's it. I've been flashing back and forth between different set ups, so I haven't been on this current set up for more than 2 days. I did however have the same problem today at lunch. I had to pull the battery to get it to reset. I was playing a video I recorded on my phone before the screen went black. I don't know if it was media related. I will play some more videos and see if it does it again.

Sounds like you need to Odin.

I Odined a fresh EB a couple of times and it would eventually come back. Not sure if it was a program I was using that triggered it on EB. I don't know if it might be a media issue. I use my camera and video pretty frequently, so that's the only thing I can think of at this point. It's the only thing I really use, even on EC, on a regular basis except my XDA app. I hope it's not that!...

Have you tried formatting your SD card yet?

I haven't with EC, but I did with EB and I still had those problems. Today was the first day that it's happened to me. I've only been on this set up for the last couple of days, because I flashed a couple of things and hoping that I would have better luck with stock. I will try re-formatting when I get home. I tried playing a coulpe of videos (the same ones as before) to see if I could replicate the problem, but haven't been able to yet. Hopefully that was just a situation to where the phone just needed to reboot....

!!! Y E S !!!
It happened to me four times today!
Does anyone know a way to get logs to continuously write to disk? Otherwise I have no idea how to troubleshoot this.
I'm running, midNIGHT EC05 with minimal apps installed. I use SetCPU, and I've just changed the settings. I'm thinking this may have started after trying to use 100MHz and "startass" setting. My profiles are now set to 200Mhz minimum and "ondemand." I'll let you know how that goes.
Having to use my old BlackBerry Bold as an alarm clock now, just in case!
EDIT: I did not format SD with this install but have formatted less than 2 weeks ago.
Happened again after setCPU settings were changed.
That happened to me but what's weird isnit only happened when I was on di18 kept having to pull the battery and once I updated to eb13 it all stopped

Do you have Beautiful Widgets installed? Is one of their widgets on your HS? .. Had this problem on DK28..
Same here. Like the term sod, btw. Happening when I use flash. I'm on stock ec coming from fresh odin, and formatted sd.

No Beautiful Widgets here.
I am running Go Launcher, which is new to me. Will likely eliminate that tomorrow. Oh yeah, the only other widget new to me is "Android System Info" (which is great, btw).
I run Pure Grid calendar and Sense Analog Clock widgets, but I've been running those without trouble for months.
Does anyone know how to change logging levels?
The only rom I was able to use without the SOD was myfrankenstein DK28. While on
EB13 it did it contstanly and much hasnt changed while running EC05. I formatted my sd card and only installed minimal apps. I tried not restoring from Titanium or Astro. Fresh install from market and it still happens. I've stopped using SetCPU, that didnt help either. I do have Beautiful widgets running on my home screen, but I aslo had that while running DK28. I have no idea what the problem is. It is a complete pain having to check my phone every couple of mins to make sure that its still on. Over night forget about it, every morning the phone is dead. Can anybody help me please.
I just Odin to EC05 last night.. and installed the new syndicate frozen rom... and my screen just went blank today.. so far it has done it twice in less then 5 minutes....
but I have noticed that if the phone is plugged into the charger that it wont do it.. no matter how long goes past.. thats the only way I know my alarm is gonna go off in the morning.. is to have it plugged in..
do anyone know if its doing it on plain Stock untouched modem and stock rom??
because if not imma flash over to that.. I cant take this crap too much longer..
I have had this so called SOD for almost 3-4 months and as a matter of fact I just ordered a replacement 10 minutes ago. My SOD involves the phone either rebooting or completely going black except for the bottom cap buttons, then vibrating in order once, then 3 times, then once, and so on until a battery pull. This has happened on the charger as well for some roms. I can tell you it does it on a stock rom. I just did a full reset, stock eb13, updated to ec05 OTA, wiped sdcard and everything except contacts. The problem exists, so I am almost 100% that it is a hardware flaw somewhere. I even did the ##786# reset. I'll let you know if a new phone fixes the issue :]
damn.. even on the stock rom huh???
well do anyone know if it might have something to do with rather journaling is on or off??
other wise.. i have not a clue of what could be causing it..
I have EC stock rom, but am rooted. It happens to my phone. It doesn't happen quite that often like you guys, but it happens maybe about once a day. It happened more frequently when I was on EB. It would happen at least 5 or 6 times a day. It's strange cause it never happened right when I flashed EB or EC. I was fine for a couple of days before it happened. Not sure why....?
I had to pull the battery 20 or more times today, same issue. Mine started doing it right after I added the news and weather widget to the homescreen. If it does it tonight im thinking of takin it back to stock and getting a replacement.
EB13 btw, flashed EC05 a few minutes ago and will try it out.

I had about six today. I'm flashing stock and running untouched starting tomorrow. If that doesn't fix it, it's replacement time for me too.
Sad, because a stress test on my phone at 1.4ghz ran fine.
Btw, I still use set cpu, but only in known safe configurations, no OC.
I just received my replacement. Brand new phone, I installed a formatted sdcard and synced contacts... within 10 minutes it seemed to be happening again. The phone was stock di18, then it updated to stock EB05... I have no idea what the problem could be now, since this phone is brand new.
