some apps will hang and use more than 80% cpu!

guys i have this issue, after flashing to darkly v9 some apps hang for one min or more. Example.
1- advance task killer will hang if I go see running services and back to task killer menu.
2- flickir wallpaper hd will hang if I preview any wallpaper and go back to the list of wallpapers.
At task manager, I can see these apps using 80% cpu for the hanged time.
I reinstalled apps, didnt help
i flashed the phone back to factory (using download), flashed to darkly v8, didn't help.
What to do
Edit- Ok, i found that it only happens when wifi is on.

Dont use those apps? (Ever occurred to you that it might be the apps and not the roms? or some other app that makes the other apps hang? Perhaps your very own task manager?)

umm, if everyone using those apps. and it runs fine. i think asking me to not to run the app is kinda not the right approach.
if things were working, then they are not working. then it means something wrong went. and i agree could be either. but before blaming the apps that are useful. lets try to fix it.

this issue, after flashing to darkly v9
Normally if you have a problem after doing X then its usually the fault of X
jje

agreed, but then after flashing back to v8. the issue was still there. hence the weird thing.
i asked around in another forum. and i think it fixed it. here was his solution
Got the same problem. Got a bit sick and tired of it thats why i tried Doc's ROM, and i became a happy man.
but before that, have you tried using SGS Tools and run the clear_thumb_db.txt script?

so i ran what he suggested. and it worked. i spend 4 hrs yesterday cracking my head was the phone was doing like that. on top of that. i flashed it at least thrice!!

agreed, but then after flashing back to v8. the issue was still there. hence the weird thing.
Yes but you may have needed a complete wipe of system and data to clear the problem .
jje

I did wipe. Even did factory resest in recovry mode. Al yet didnt make it work. Now flickie wall paper stil hangs. Me out of ideas. Some suggested different rom!

Rom Kitchen far less reported bugs .

games going to the pause screen for unknown reason

first off, I'm running stock EC05, rooted
Problem:
yesterday my Epic started jumping to the pause screen while I was playing Collapse! which I had gotten off of the Amazon App market, at first I thought it might be the hardware fault when the back button presses automatically, but it wasn't as it continued to do it without the haptic feedback or blinking, so I ruled that out and tried reinstalling
unfortunately it continued, so I though it might be a bad download that needs an update on the market, so I uninstalled and decided to play Robot Unicorn Attack which I got off the Android Marketplace, however it does the same thing, right in the middle of gameplay, it will jump to the pause screen
so now I thought it might be some other app that I updated that is causing some kind of interference with the system, so I uninstalled all apps that had been updated or installed over the past 2 or 3 days, the problems remains
I tried Fruit Ninja from that Amazon App Store as well, same problem, I'm really not sure what is wrong as there had been no problems with any of the games before yesterday, I also did a scan for malware just for kicks but nothing showed up
when I tired searching for people with similar problems, the closest I found was someone who was having what seemed like an identical problem on a Galaxy S Tab, any help that doesn't require a complete rom flash would be awesome
thanks!

The only thing I can suggest is going into Clockwork and clearing data and Dalvik cache. Sounds like some data corruption somewhere if you are running stock with no overclocking or undervolting which usually causes this kind of behavior.

Are you running an overclocked kernel? I have a similar problem with Words With Friends whenever I'm running an overclocked kernel. If I disable overclocking and reboot, the problem goes away.

His OP said he was running stock. Switch to Word feud, you can overclock all you want and still run Adfree.

I will give it a shot and let you know how it goes
question though, can I restore anything from my Titanium Backup? or would that just bring the problem back once it was restored?

Was it OK when you did the backup? If so you can certainly try. Just to clarify you are on full stock, just rooted?
Do you BONSAI?

I'm at sprint right now returning a completely stock refurb they gave me. Apps are randomly opening and backing out of themselves

[Q] DX constant restarting

I've been searching for the last few days and have yet to really find anything to help me fix my problem.
the story:
Phone was rooted, back in Jan and I was running GummyJar 2.5, no problems, went to Apex V 1.3, no problems, but it ran a little slow. Today I decided to switch to something else to attempt and fix the speed problems, first I tried Incredibly Re Engineered v1.0, the phone ran well, but every 2-3 minutes it was rebooting me and sending me to the clockwork screen. So then I figured it had something to do with the ROM, so I went to Fission 2.5.7. Same problem, the phone runs great when it's on, but the constant restarted is unreal. I've done a factory reset, unrooted then rerooted the phone, then reinstalled the ROM, same problem.
Anyone ever have this issue and have a solution?
Thank you,
Eric
edit: Phone acts fine while plugged in to the computer or wall charger. Also made and attempt with SBF, to no avail.

Try an sbf....then go back to fission.
Just my thoughts. No overclock at first.

Running the SBF restore again...we will see what happens.

Hopefully someone else will stop by with thoughts.
Fission for me is real stable, ran it for long time now.
Worried it may be hardware problem....?
Might want to only install important apps at first also.

Try wiping data from Clockwork several times.
If that doesn't work you should definitely try SBFing and wiping data several times afterward.

I agree, I also loaded several ROM's and had a growing list of issues, SBF took care of everything for me.

Mine reboots when I pause video playback when connected with hdmi. But only since gingerbread, and I'm on my fourth version of gb. They have all done it so far, hoping official .596 will fix.
DX 2.3.3

Did the SBF'd it. Phone works flawlessly. I am now running Fission and Launcher 7, all without a hitch. Guess the phone just had to much going on and needed a fresh start.
Thank you all for the input. After I get a few more posts, I will post links and a DIY on how to do what I did. It was difficult for me to find anything with all of the steps and links in one spot, I want to make it easier for the next person experiencing this problem.

Yay! ....

Hey I been having the same problem with my droid x mines runnin stock 2.2.1 tho but it just keeps restarting and I don't know how to fix it lol. Im kinda new to this phone so does anybodyy have any suggestions?

The radios don't always mean better signal or faster 3G. They vary by location and phone... the leaked radio sucked for me and the 11.19 one seems best so far.

well i found 5.06 worked pretty well for me but i have been on most of them i only left it because people were saying it killed the wifi on their phones... as long as large numbers of reports of the same thing from 7.7 dont occur ill probably stay on that one...

Can someone who has flashed this try out the speech to text and see if it works properly?

Navigation or anything. Texting or anything. It some of the GB roms with the EVO framework and issues with speech to text.

Well this isn't the EVO GB Release. It's the actual Incredible release. But yes the speech to text does in fact work.

I know. I'm currently on Joel's shooter rewind 3d and working voice search would be the only thing to tempt me off of it.

Sweet
First post on XDA here, I registered primarily to give props to Joel and Incubus.
I grabbed the rooted OTA Incubus posted and flashed it with Rom Manager. Took a lot of patience, but it went pretty smooth. Thanks to you both (and everyone else who had a hand in this).
My DInc is just about to go out of warranty, so I'm going to be trying some other ROMs pretty soon. I'm pretty much locked into the root/S-Off status now, and I'm happy with it that way. I think I'll be hanging on to this phone for some time.
So far I like this update, but I've had a few random reboots. One or two while I was re-installing some of my apps or moving them to the SD card, and at least one while it was just sitting there on the charger.
For the moment, I'm going on the assumption that this is just some early stuff working itself out. When flashing the ROM, I cleared the Dalvik cache, but didn't do a data wipe. Anyone have any idea if this is a problem?
Again, thanks a million guys!
( Oh, LOVE the noob video! )

Well first off, welcome! And yes. You should ALWAYS wipe data, cache, and dalvik at the minimum. It ensures that you have a better experience without lag, freezing, FC's, etc.. You have to do the setup every time, but it's worht it and you get used to it. And most devs don't recommend using Rom manager since it's known to have some issues, you're best bet is to go install through your CWM recovery.

I flashed it. Got in my car, sped up to 35 and tried a Voice Search. Like with the GB leak, google voice search throws up its hands and can't understand you.

Wow, seriously, ALL data? That means having to set up multiple mail accounts (GMail, private, work) and re-installing all my apps - well, Titanium at least.
Initially, I took over a month to get my phone just the way I liked it, and still wound up tweaking the hell out of the look and feel on a regular basis. Can application data backed up with Titanium be restored to get most of that back? Seems like it would take hours to get it back either way. I never found a thread on this, so I apologize if it is answered somewhere - I'd love to get a link to that thread if it is out there.
Now I think about it, this has been the biggest hurdle to my trying different ROMs. Screw the suits whining about how I use the services and devices I pay for, I just don't have the time to be messing with it that much.
Again, thanks for the info!
Cheers!

What did I do wrong? I DL'd the file in the thread, put it onto my SD card, then turned my phone off.
I rebooted into recovery (power and volume down button), chose update from .zip on SD card. Picked the file and let it update...
Now my phone will boot up and just stay stuck on the "Droid" screen. Any help?
was I supposed to rename the file or anything? Please help, my phone is stuck right now...

Install zip from sdcard not update... And u should of wiped data cache all that junk if u didn't do that

Did you wipe anything? You should do a full wipe (data/system/cache/dalvik/etc.) before flashing a new ROM.

Cant wait for a 2.3.4/3.0 sense Rom.

You can back up app data, but it is strongly recommended that you don't back up system data. And yes it means starting all over, and I too was skeptical to start over when I first started flashing ROMs, but now it takes me about 15-20 minutes to setup everything again. But then again I only reinstall about 45 apps.

Boot into recovery and wipe everything 3x. Next choose install zip, then after that DO NOT CLICK ON update.zip, select choose zip from SD, then find your downloaded file (wherever you put it) and select that.

Has anyone tried any Bluetooth devices? Keyboards or such to see if we did in fact get the full bt stack?

Strange "black" Reboots

Hi!
I'm suffering from reboots on my Note (also on my S2...). I call them "black" reboots because the screen becomes black, there's no start-up animation , I only hear the sound, and the home screen don't comes up, or it do it after a long delay. So, the screen is mostly black. Until 2-3 minutes pass, and reboot again.
-Sometimes occurs simply starting up the phone in the morning. I'm advised of a slow launcher load (Go Launcher, but it can occurs on TW).
If I go to System Monitor (System Panel app), I see the 2 cores working hard, toghether or alternating. The "System" app goes mad. The battery drain becomes quick, and the phone back around the camera begins to warming...
After 2-3 minutes with this behaviour, the "black" reboot comes up. Often, after rebooting, the message "Unable to run System process"- Force Close-Wait (or so) appears in the black...etc
If I force shut-off, then I wait and then shut-on again, all things seem normal, until...reboot
-Factory reset (through Recovery, of course) seems arrange all things, until I load again the apps. I've unistalled all "tweaking" apps for overclocking, Ram managing, etc. I only have Root explorer and Speed Boost as Root operating things...
- My Rom is an odex Pre-rooted XXLC1, Modem XXLB2, but the multiCSC is not from it.
How the phone can become so unstable with only the half memory app capacity occuped? (800 Mb or so of 2GB)?
And how can it often occurs on updating apps from damned Google Play Store?
Is worth to flash another Rom (not ICS...), or re-flash same with its CSC included?
Sorry if I've been too long. In my searchs I only see things about bricks or another type of reboots.
Thanks for read me!

i get these once every two weeks or so.

I also get these type of reboots, I get them on RocketROM and on previous roms I've had installed the only way I've found to get out of them is to boot into recovery and wipe the caches. Before I was rooted I removed some of the apps I'd moved to the SD Card and that sometimes stopped the boot loop. I now only update apps one by one someone suggested it was to do with the amount of apps moved to the sd card and the multiple updating of them. I'm still not sure of the cause I know its the only flaw on my Note that I'm fed up with.

Im running stock ics rom straight from samsung only with root and getting the same behaviour as yourself. About 2 to 3 times a week...

Ive posted a poll as i also experience this issue. Can you vote on the poll here please with how many reboots you are getting etc - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1706343

Guys, i don't know if I'm going to cry of pain or to laugh of huge joy, after seeing this is almost ..."normal"
We have a beautiful 500€ plastic and metal block which is unable to perform the half of things it's supposed to do! And we don't know exactly why...
Sure I do wipes, but most of times this fixes nothing, and the reboot returns.
If I re-install with Titanium, I am very careful unsellecting into the batch which things can cause problems, installing only a few apps.
After some days, I go on installing manually some others.
The Play updates are critical, as I see... Why? How it's possible that this "beasts" with so much RAM and so much App Memory (2 GB on S2 and Note!) fail down handling its management, with their super 2 core CPU's?
It's too serious. How we can live with a 500€ phone rebooting bad 2 times a week?
Can you imagine that on your computer, forcing you to re-install OS and apps once or twice a week? It's crazy. Is Android going crazy?
Maybe Samsung don't like Root users? Have HTC same problem?
There's someone with a non rooted phone with same problem?

Are you guys running stock? Had custom rom installed or still have?

I have this Rom, based on strict stock, but rooted: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24690725&postcount=154
Mine is the XXLC1
No tweaks, no overclocking, no CWM...

I had the same problem when my GN was on rooted LC1. I disappeared after I made a factory reset and let my apps reinstall by Play Store.

Yes me too got out of this strange reboot by a factory reset today morning.
Something is messed up .....
Very difficult to find that something ...
better idea would be a factory reset .....

I think the problem is with the Stock Samsung Rom, it doesnt happen in CM9 Roms. I had this problems wen on ROcket rom, but vanished when on Asylum Rom.

go wild...

Yesss, very difficult. I'm not on advanced technical stuff, but my intuition says that is something deep inside the Rom, something that is related to CPU-Memory management.
By the way, do you have/had many apps (250+)? Have you made recently massive update and/or installing apps, or massive "App to SD" moves?

You are pushing me a little step more to the wild side of Android.... Here I'll go!
It seems to me that the Note is a strangely different phone of, say, S2. Some apparently "simple" apps that I carry on from 2 years ago don't run right.
And the little lags that sometimes appear on touching icons, never, never appear on the fast S2.
