Help with processes...please? - Droid X General

So, recently my Droid X has been going through random brief periods of INTENSE slow downs. I downloaded "Watchdog" to see what was up, and I was surprised to find that a "linux process" called "init" very consistantly is using around 70% cpu, peaking at 85% at times. Is this normal? What is this process? Is it the cause of the slowness, or is there something else i can check? Any advice would help. Even a nudge in the right direction would be awesome. I'm totally stock, and while I know rooting and going blur-less is an option, it is one that i will not be perusing. My rom shouldnt be the cause, considering that the symptom started abruptly, after months of working very well. Thank you in advance folks

Are u running a custom ROM? Init is the moto kernal essentially (someone expand and correct if I'm wrong). Normally if you haven't modified things, unless you are using something that realty uses system resources it shouldn't be that high

Thanks for replying.
Im totally stock. I have no idea what can be causing it...the last thing I did to my phone was delete apps that I dont use too often, then this started. And ideas on how to fixit?

Looks like you might need to sbf. It will put it back to stock. Check to see what bootloader you have and system version

How did u delete apps? Also, give this a try... Connect your phone to your pc in charge only mode... Then type this command:
Adb shell ps
Then copy the output to here. Try to capture this when it seems the phone is slow. May help give insight to anything else that may be slowing things down

why do you keep posting this all over the General forums? especially when it is all in caps lock.... having a PC and a phone at the same time isn't difficult at all.

No offense, my friend, but spamming the forums everywhere with the same info in all caps is just a bit obnoxious. I mean, do what you want, but expect people to be annoyed.
read my post on RyanZA fix in batch file. tried V1 and V2.3, both have bugs.
This fix was stable for me, but there is a catch too. the limit for app data storage is 130mb, will you ever go over, i dont know. i didnt yet.

I tried RyanZA's 2-3 batch file fix and I'm not having any problems...to which bugs are you referring?
The bug I’m aware of happens with apps that store data (such as texture) on the sd card outside of the new partition. Some games such as Asphalt 5, Homerun Battle 3d, heavy Gunner, maps... This is a problem with all the lags fixes. If you don't use those apps or apps like that it probably won't affect you.
For instance the load times for Homerun Battle were three times longer on start up, if it started up. I had several times where my phone just shut off. If it eventfully did start it would run fine. Chainfire talks about the bug in his thread found here.

Played around with maps, gps on/off, zillow app., switching back and forth and phone froze on Alpha 1 as well as 2.3. Also this is a know issue and I got it too, on 2.3 I was not able to change fonts. And I hate default font
When i use RyanZA lagfix it works but when i reboot the phone everything gets screwed up anyone have this problem itll take ages to boot up and when it does alot of force closes and widgets outta place etc
Use chainfire. I believe it may be the safest, easily the most automatic one.

What are you guys deleting? The DRM apk? I never seen that message until I flashed Nero3 yesterday.
same here
the message started popping up after i installed nero v3
I'm running stock ji6 and its happening. Its not the nero rom
Sent from my vibrant
It has been going on since yesterday for me
Its been just running all the time in running services with all the 2.2 leaks I've installed. It never updated anything you just could never stop it from running im sure its a know issue,now with the ji6 roms you can end it but not in 2.2 for some reason.

Yeah, that is it. I always delete that file so it doesn't run all the time in the background.
It's happening to me in past 2 days. Never seen it before.
I had no idea what this is and what it's doing.
It starts happening to me after I did the lagfix.

i think the dm (device manager) server must be wonky lately. This service starts up by default, but is usually invisible (except when you check what services are runnin), but lately i have seen a notification icon on the notification bar saying that it is trying to connect.
Dunno what it does. Probably sends demographic and activity info back to t-mobile and google
easy. tmobile is obviously testing for device responses to the dm server so that they know how many vibrant users there are. this will determine the length of time between the beginning of mass froyo release and the end of the rollout.
damn. now "rollout" by ludacris is stuck in my head lol
Yea Device Management(DM) is used to push updates to Tmo's android phones. I've also seen it been used by tech support to manually push the update or reboot the phone(Back when I had the Behold II).
I would have thought the rom makers would have removed them from their images.
But gallagherm1993's idea sounds reasonable, but I would say if you aren't seeing these things(Like myself) dont worry bout it. For the curious, you can use AnyCut to access DM's interface, and force an update check, but unless its been marked ready for your IMEI, it wont work.

motorola social widgets

ok so i updated to GB and love the new blur. however i still went around theming it but after a few things i noticed my social widgets werent updating and wasnt letting me update them even tho i had my info in it correct. So i tried flashing the original .apks i had themed then it bootlooped so i sbf'd to the old froyo, so im stock right data/factory reset too. entered my twitter stuff and the old blur social widget still isnt working correctly, am i the only one having these problems?
edit: reflashed rootedgb.zip working fine now lets see what happens when i re-flash gbrooteddeodexed.zip
Please let me know your findings, I'm having the same problem after installing the deodexed gb. I did not test it on the nondeodxed rooted version but it worked great on the original gb leak.

idk half the time i flash they work half the time they dont im still not sure
Same thing here. I used sbf and reinstalled gbroot and gdeodex, then my market wouldn't sync but social networking worked. I had hoped third time would be the charm but now I'm back to square one. Anyone else out there have this issue or know a fix?
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App
ok one thing i noticed and kinda forgot, go to settings > battery & data manager > battery mode > performance mode, otherwise it wont continual sync, i think thats part of the problem, cuz when u first load it puts it in battery saver mode
I tried that and it hasn't worked. My problem is slightly different than yours though. It will push thru link posts or picture posts, but no status updates or tweets from anyone. Makes no sense at all!

ok also I think it might have to do with restoring with TB i think we need to do app only I think restoring data messes up stuff like before... my wireless seems to be broken

You may be on to something with TB. I didn't actually restore anything with it but just redownloading it in the first place may have caused issues.

I have no knowledge of flashing sbf's, so I don't want to brick my phone with no experience on fixing it. I'd appreciate it though if someone else would want to try it. I want to see if this actually deblurs it >_>

What if you enabled it, then reset your phone?

I would think it would have to be changed in other areas of the root partition. Not sure exactly which areas though. I'll do some experimenting and post back.
aw that sux, im still sorta wanting a deblur rom to see what happends...
Any news?

The Droid Bionic has the same setting in settings.db.
anyone with a bravo willing to give it a whirl?
Just flash cm7 lol

The Atrix has it and I tried it. It just disconnected me from MotoBlur. Contacts was still usable, Gallery won't connect to social networks, and Music won't work at all. For some reason, I wiped and tried it again and it didn't work. Not really useful though since you can achieve the same thing by freezing services in Titanium Backup.

What's the reason for battery pulls on the evo 4g?

My 4g constantly requires a battery pull once a day, this is my 4th evo and all of them are the same. evo freees, have the pull battery to get it back working again, getting tired of it and it's not rooted.
What's the cause for this and why haven't htc produced a fix?
Also I'm thinking of picking up something else cheap and selling my evo, Motorolla photon or htc evo design? what's a better be?
What's the resale value of my evo 4 g/ 120?
Are you updated with the latest OTA? Have you done a factory reset recently?
Yes, all my evos freeze.

I would try rooting it and flashing a good, solid ROM like MikG 3.11.
Sent from my PC36100 using Xparent Blue Tapatalk
I had 3.0 and it frooze too, it's either all the evos freeze or its a program I'm running.
Can someone comment of the other phones?
It's something your doing, because the EVO 4G has been around almost 2 years and never heard of anyone having that problem before. And even if someone did have that problem on 1 phone, it wouldn't happen on a 2nd, let alone 4.
So I highly doubt changing to a different phone will help you at all.
Mine freezes occasionally, usually when I'm impatient and try to do a bunch of stuff right after it boots up and is still loading. Other than that, no freezes or other problems. It could be an app that you always have installed, maybe you should try factory resetting and see if it still does it. If it doesn't, slowly reinstall your apps until it does, then you'll be able to narrow down the problem more easily.

This^
That being said the EVO Design 4G is a nice handset, my brother has one...with little rooting or 3rd party ROM support as of yet...I don't think there's even a forum for it on XDA.
Only time my phones freeze is when I try to do something right after boot b4 the media scanner finishes running or when I try to push the clockspeed past its limits just to see what will happen like the time I clocked the evo to 1.6 and it would freeze the bootani and need to be restored or on the et4g I tried clocking it to 2ghz and it would boot but then go to sleep of death once the screen goes off gotta pull the battery to turn it back on
Yeah, I've had my Evo since launch day, and the only time I have to do battery pulls is when I've tried clocking too high, or running a really experimental ROM.
The problem is on your end, I would say. Good luck. There's already good advice posted here.

More than likely in your case its an errant app causing freezes maybe something sideloaded from a 3rd party market that's not compatible with your device or some kind of mod or tweak you've used

If he's unrooted/stock, I don't think there are many apps/mods that would cause this kinda behavior.
Sent from my PC36100 using Xparent Blue Tapatalk
There are tons of apps and mods you can use unrooted, you can sideload apps on any rom by checking the unknown sources box and downloading and app from the internet and installing it even if it isn't mean for your device, and there are many mods you can do to unrooted devices such as 3rd party launchers, some scripts that can be run that don't require root, changing the SD read ahead cache, setting up profiles for CPU clockspeeds in apps such as setcpu or something similar, plus he mentioned he wasn't rooted then said he was rooted, he could be trying to use an app that requires root on an unrooted device, the possibilities of app conflicts on a rooted or unrooted device are near endless, especially if you use sideloaded apps that are cracks or warez such as games

May just be an app, i had advance task killer on my unrooted evo when i first got it and had that problem, took it to sprint and they deleted it because they said it was an bad app fir the evo.
