Hi
I have noticed that even if the quadrant score is high now after the lagfix (1-click version) i have more lag now than ever before!
I even missed a call today because the dialer didnt show up until 4 signals.
I beleave this can be due to autokiller. I have tried all the presets and are now down to "system default" again. The thing is I think it kills too agressive. All the widgets are killed so scrolling the homescreen can be painful untill everyting is loaded again. The dialer is slow first time I start it. Then if I close it and restart it its fine again. Same with camera etc.
Is there a way to fix this? Is there an option for excluding applications from autokiller?

The proximity sensor doesn't work. Ive tested it in the "secret menu" and it does work but when its actually in a call it doesnt (Yes, I know its only supposed to turn of the touch which it doesnt) Its getting really annoying since the call volume is already low and I can't put the phone up against my face.

I think it might be a problem with the R2BA024 Phone.apk or Phonebook.apk because I recall that it used to work (Either when I had stock or R2BA022 cause thats the only versions ive had). Maybe someone (Who knows what theyre doing) could try to push the old Phone.apk and/or Phonebook.apk into their rooted phone?
Or maybe is there an app that can make it work?
Thanks
Are you using a task killer??? I've seen others have problems with task killers causing the screen to re-activate when on a call.. effectively overriding the proximity sensor.. If you are then try switching the task killer off (it's better without anyway - search for other threads on this!!)...

I am using a task killer. Do you know if its a specific app or process that cannot be closed or is it just the task killer itself? The reason I use task killer is because
1) Sometimes apps will crash or lag and I want to close it and
2) I want to autoend apps to save battery (IDK if it works)
Is it ok if I disable autokill or should I remove the task killer as well?
Thanks

You're better off removing it all together. Auto ending apps doesn't really work with saving battery life since they are (Obviously) restarting later on, making the battery you 'saved' from killing it null.
I'm sure you have an app with a built in task manager (Like Astro), so just use that when you want to close a lagging/crashed app.

Personally - I (along with a fair few more recent converts!) have found that my phone runs much better without any task killer - autokilling seems to make battery life worse for most people - but if you want to keep the option to manually kill stuff then try just switching autokill off first.. I don't use one at all though now.
So I tried disabling task killer and it still doesnt work. But I found out something weird. I found out that the sensor actually works in the dialpad after making a call. You know how after you punch in your number and press cal you can drag out a dialpad for extensions, etc. It actually kinda works there (not as good as in test mode but with a 5s delay which is still no good) It might have to do with my Phonebook.apk or Phone.apk that is custom skinned. Which one do you think it is? Cause the drag out dialpad with a sensor that kinda worked actually was gray whereas the call scree with a sensor that did not work was black. IDK if I even made sense... I will now look for other Phonebook.apk or Phone.apk replacements.
And the custom Phone.apk and Phonebook.apk are from the theme repo.
I've been getting "android.process.acore" messages for the last couple of weeks. It happens whenever I rotate the homescreen.
One thing I've read said it could be the widgets, but I've removed each one and am still having the issue.
Any ideas?

I get that sometimes randomly, but I'm not sure what it means.
I'm just going to wipe everything and start from scratch. I'm getting it constantly now, and it's starting to be a real pain.

I wiped it clean, went back to cyanogen, and added everything back.
It worked for awhile but came back. When it does it now, it takes me to the previous app I was in before going to the homescreen.
If it's the widgets (on ADW Launcher btw), I have:
NewsPro Reuters App
Advanced Task Killer
TM World Clock
Power Control
Icons w/ Desktop Visualizer
Oh dear, sadness is overtaking me! (sorta melodramatic but still very true)
Any help would be appreciated.

Rule them out...remove them all and add them back one at a time, over time, until you can reproduce the problem...that is, of course, assuming that you don't get the error when you don't have any widgets...
To solve the score force closes, first back up your contacts or make sure they are synced to Google. Next go to settings-> applications-> manage applications->all-> and select contacts storage. Once you have done this hit Force Stop, then clear data. Reboot and resync your contacts and you should be free of your issue. I had the same problem until I found an article ellaborating this process. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the responses.
I tried both the widget and contacts fix but it didn't work. Only when I updated to cyanogen RC2 (released today) has the error gone away. Weird.
I have a problem, JPX version, TW
When I end Contacts in the Task Manager, all the widgets disapear, only wallpaper and dock, like when rebooting
After a bit every thing goes back to normal...

I guess, You are doing End All...instead of single End.
I am using Program Monitor, just pressing END in front of the app !!!
I do have the same problem on jpy...reset worked for sometime but the problem returns.
But what puzzles me is why shd the program manager show contacts open even after closing through the back button alike older firmwares
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
Anyone knows why ?
I found that if I upgraded to Program Manager 1.5 the contacts did not close with the back button. Leaving Program Manager at 1.1.12 means contacts will close with the back button.
Thanks, but still no reason to clear icons when you close it
Same here - after i opened contacts, i am not able to close it anymore, besides program manager - and then, all icons disappear for a while - strange...

I get the clear Widgets behaviour with either Program Manager but not all the time.

All the time on mine...
You get the old Market first time you launch it.
The orange flares at scroll limits are nice.
The "screen off" animation is awesome.
The download manager in the browser is nice.
You can now natively play .wav files in Gmail!!!!!!
Text selection is better.
If any of your notifications are set to black text, they will be invisible. (I'm looking at you Weatherbug)
The dialer is just too black. You can't see the edges of the buttons, or lack of buttons I guess.
Everything just seems more squared off and cleaner, like dialog boxes and such.
I use Swiftkey, so can't comment on the new Android Keyboard.
Sometimes the WiFi and signal strength indicators go grey instead of their usual green.
Overall UI seems snappier. I use Launcher Pro.
Weird scrolling issues in Tweetdeck seem to be gone for now.
Curious to find out if battery life will improve with GRI40.
I'm liking everything so far, everything's very fast and responsive
2 words: Bloody fast!!!!

This indicates that you don't have an internet connection to google's servers.

I'm reading in some other posts that benchmarks are down in GRI40.
Maybe benchmarks aren't optimized for Gingerbread?

I think that the gray'ed out wifi and BT just means that they're enabled, but there's no active connection at the moment.
Anyone else using launcherpro notice that the drawer open animation without a live wallpaper or 3D drawer isn't buttery smooth anymore?
Also the browser stutters a lot when moving around XDA for me..everything else so far is good though
can any check the Dial call ? i have problem wen i dial in my Nexus One the screen turn off and i can´t end or retun main menu.

Nope... all it means is what others have said... you're not connected to Google's servers. You can still surf the web or use non-Google apps, but try opening Gtalk for example.
Many of us have been running GB for weeks now... this isn't new to us.
Well.. everything is smooth... BUT the phone restarted once....I was closing Skype.. suddenly...BOOOM hard restart...

One thing that I particularly find to be very faster is the installation of new/updated apps. I was used to 10~20 seconds of "installing" notification, now it barely lasts for 1 whole second! WOOT!!!

I don't have a problem per se, but now when I dial it won't make the keyboard sounds anymore (even though the keyboard sound flag is set, under 'Settings' -> 'Sound').
Edited:
WTF?!?! Telephone keys sounds are classified as "Media" sound?!?! My media sound was 0, even though other sounds are max, and that's why I couldn't hear it.
Are all of you guys here running the latest version of the market?
I'm not, even posted about it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=968672 so I'm a bit concerned.
Updated successfully no problem. Switchpro widget couldn't toggle BT, GPS, and flashlight. Amazon MP3 app is still there...
Anyone else notice that the track ball light doesn't work and the orange flashes in the app drawer only show up when using launcher pro.
Big fan of the new keyboard. Have been using swiftkey, but switched on a lark and it is great.
Everything else is like froyo but better.
All my notifications were messed up though, 3 minute fix for that though.
Yeah my track ball doesn't light up anymore either. Guessing there will be an update for this soon.
The back button has problem (sometimes ..). I press the Back, I can feel the vibration, but there is no action. Retry one or 2 times OK.
This happens occasionally, and not limited to particular apps, even when Back from the app drawer.
Heya is there any way to closed programs throw the side bar on android 3.2.1?
I cant closed it and it too many apps running on background and it make my tab too slow.
Please help me out
Thanks
When you are done with an app use the back button to close it, the ones that show in the bar are recent, it doesn't necessarily mean they are running.

I echo his sentiment; you usually close applications by pressing the back button several times or selecting "Quit" or similar from menu. Pressing home button or switching to another application via the recent-menu leaves the app still running. Ie. try to use the back button more often.
Also, if you wish to see actual list of running applications and be able to force quit them, then I could suggest Advanced Task Manager ( https://market.android.com/details?...1bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5hcnJvbi50YXNrTWFuYWdlciJd ) on Android Market; I have that one installed myself and it works just peachy.

this is exactly as how things should be done.. Only difference i use Advanced task killer Widget. But i set its settings to all off.. Especially Auto kill. and when ever i see there are things that decided on there own to run i just tap the widget on home screen and they are gone.You can also long tap and select what you wish to Kill. Its preference to use as to what one you use.. Just be sure it does not run in background. or it will become one of the things your trying to prevent .
Read this to understand why closing these is not unnecessary (other than for privacy reasons)
Task Killers... The Answer from Google & Developers
There are some ROMs that allow for this. However as the person above me pointed ot, its unnecessary. ICS has the built in ability to remove appps from the multitasking menu. I don't know if this suspends the app or something like that, or not.

Not neccesary with ICS
In ICS you just have to slide the aplications on the lists to the sides and they will dissapear.

anyone else noticed that even if you slide to close the app in ics if you go to running services you find the app is in fact still running? and to clarify i am talking apps that are not using outside services like updates/wifi

This is correct. Swiping away the app simply removes it from the list. I learned this when I Home buttoned out of Grand Theft Auto III, swiped to the right and it was still running in the background. Pretty much, it takes a task-killer to absolutely, positively stop an app. But, unless it's effecting your battery life, using wifi, or Bluetooth, there's not a huge need to kill apps. Android has some pretty smart algorithms to manage resources...making task killers unnecessary. You should only kill apps if you're sure they're effecting overall performance.
