Yes I know you want to refer me to (one of) the lagfix(es).
BUT hear me out first please
Bought my gf a I5800 and its working like a charm. BUT after 1-2 weeks of usage there is one thing bothering her.
Sometimes the phone gets completely unresponsive, almost freezes. For example one morning with the alarm, she was not able to shut it off. Same for a phone call which she was not able to end, cause the phone did not respond to any touch inputs.
I have read about the lagfix, BUT it seems that the lags this fix is for are supposed to be like 2-5 secs, but this is more 10-20...
I dont think its normal, Stock ROM. I would prefer not flashing a Froyo build, cause I'd have to install and set everything up again.
Any ideas? Is this the normal lag that Samsung created?
Thank you in advance
Breece
Ps.: For now I am telling her to reboot every other day, but thats not really a solution.

I was pretty sure that lagfixes erase data anyways.. But I used to have this error on the stock rom and it went away on custom ROMs. some better than others.
Hm
So a custom rom them... right now I am trying a task killer, seems to speed the phone up a bit...

Unfortunately mate, my response is the same. Looks like it's time to re-install the OS? If you want to stay with Eclair then that's fine, but Froyo has a lot Custom ROMS and is appearing to be much more faster, and with the new ROMS being released, Custom Froyo (cooked ROMS) is becoming more and more stable!
Don't forget to back everything up, before you update firmware!
Hi
The JPA/JPB Custom rom in development seems quite safe it doesnt flash the bootloader so pretty much no chance of bricking your phone(i wont say 100% as anything can happen)
I like the way you call i5800 "she" or "her" it was a valentine day, right ?

So basically, my hd2 is not running smooth at all. Every time i do a rom update and then restore my contacts/messages/settings it keeps getting frozen and unresponsive. So I have to restart the device, but I don't know why it should be restarted anyway, isn't is kind of super fast?!?! So, now, when I recently updated my ROM, the device is so damn slow, that even after typing my PIN it takes a minute to launch htc sense and everything. When I'm moving through the tabs it's so damn laggy i can't stand it. . Is anyone else experiencing this????
To be honest, and I'm no expert, it sounds like you have some serious phone problems, probably out of your control. Not to sound like a pessimist but given how everyone else seems to be ok with the HD2, could be either a major rom/radio problem or hardware failure??
I've updated my hd2 using the official rom from HTC and, apart from the occasional lag i get from WinMo, my device runs sweet as a a proverbial nut. Especially as I have run the tweaks suggested by the forums here.
Given that you have said that you've upgraded the ROM and it's made no difference, the only thing i could suggest is possibly send it back under warranty?
Obviously, I'd wait and see if someone with more know-how has a better explanation, i'm merely giving you my POV.
Hope you get this sorted ASAP. A properly working HD2 is a marvellous thing.
All the best
To the OP,
There could be so many causes for your problems. I would start as follows:
- Take your SD card out and see if the phone boots and is not laggy with the card out
- If this does not work take a look at the SMS threads on here and see if the solutions there help you
- If no joy then read the Hints @ Tips thread on here, if you have not already done so, and pickup on the cache move tips, using the task manager to close open files, etc
- I that fails look for the thread "HD2 Died - or did it" and implement the solutions in there
- If that does not help and you have been flashing a fair few roms then hop over to the MTTY thread in rom development and see if that helps.
Plenty to be getting on with.
Hope you get it sorted.

My power up to sense loaded time = 55 secs.
Any different?
thanks for this quick reply. I am using Energy Leo ROM, but I don't think this could be the problem, or is it? Because I have performed a hard-reset now and it's running quite smooth again.. But the question is for how long.
Two questions I have now:
-does it happen to anyone, when you try to wake up the phone, screen doesn't wake up, only the keys in the bottom start to glow? It happened to me from time to time
-does anyone else experience missed key taps? When I tap something from time to time it just doesn't get recognized so I have to "retap" it...

I have experienced question 1 and 2.. however not alot or not frequent.. I tend to think that this is just a computer and computers do crash depending on whats going on.. The missed screen taps only happens once or twice when its playing up. I do have a screen protector on though so whether the dust, oil or screen protector is causing that is a different story, but isnt a big problem for me to remove the screen protector to find out.
so, the latest problem.. my hd2 had been running for ~16 hours without any problem now, but in last 10 minutes i had to restart it twice, because the screen stopped responding after i wanted to type new sms in a conversation (first time) and after i had a pop-up message about new sms (second time). As said before, I'm using energy rom, latest issue (17.2.). Could the problem be, in fact connected with this rom or specifically with sms software?
using cooked roms you can generally expect a few lockups and restarts.
Also, the screen not powering up, just the hard keys backlight is an issue across the board, from custom roms to official roms. Some roms seem to do it, some don't, but one that doesn't do it to me might well do it to you.

It has been mentioned before that if you have a large number of texts stored, it will take a while for it to allow you to reply to a text. (It has to go through the database, check for the texts sent by the user, then arrange them alongside the ones sent to them by you, then put them in chronological order, then display them, this takes time)
but i would presume the device should be working anyway (but slower, of course) and not flashing the display and being "frozen" ?
The frozen issue with texts is all in the SMS thread I pointed you to earlier. Solutions to the phone freezing are in the HD2 Died thread, again as I pointed out earlier.
How many of these potential solutions have you tried? Tryy these things first then come back if they don't work rather than make assumptions about your ROM.

after 3 months i still have the issue with missed strokes.. even after the latest energy rom update :\
anyone?
Ok so my hero keep turning off by itself. This is not the first time it happen, it'll be on then it will just turn off by itself. Even worse sometimes the led light will be flashing for a new message and when I press the menu button to unlock it, it restart automatically. It mostly restarts itself when the screen is dark and i always press menu to bring up the light or to unlock it. Is this mean my phone is now defective ? I mean this happened before on some other 2.1 ROM too so idk what it is. Can someone tell me how to fix this????? I've tried almost all 2.1 Roms Aloysius, DC 2.07.2, Trevs Damage, ZenHero , RegawMod (themed) and Fresh 2d. the only rom that didnt restart my phone was the Fresh 2d with the very first audio fix by Avalaunchmods but i already erased that out of my computer.
Hmmm, not much to go on. I had experienced a similar issue back on early ROMs, but it was so infrequent I never really cared.
Try a Nandroid Backup and then flash to a 1.5 ROM and see if it continues, if so then yes the phone may be defective.
Also try different 2.1 ROMs here, and let us know if anything changes.
Dude, seriously do you need to have such a big font? Its not necessary....
i didn't catch that, what did you say?
lol mr big font
this happened to me last night, i wasnt even touching the phone and this happened, but its been the only time and ive been using 2.1 roms for a while now...i think this even happened once or twice when i was on stock...
coming from windows mobile, im used to things like this.
This happens on my sisters stock phone frequently I don't really care to look at it though.
Big fonts aren't nice. Stop using them
Try a different ROM. You may even want to revert to stock for awhile, if it keeps rebooting you should return the phone for a non-defective handset.
LOL @ RTessi

My sis's is on stock, and she has the problem
Funny thing is my phone is the only one without problems, and it's the only one that's rooted.
i don't know what we're yelling about loud noises
i got it fixed now, i think, i've had Fresh 2.0d for a few days and this problem is gone. oh and sorry for the big font lol i did this post in class on my phone and i didnt preview or look at what font i was using
hey guys.
i have a tmobile hd2 and i've noticed that my phone wont go past 50% with memory usage without having to restart itself. its very annoying. it happens after ive been using the phone for a while or been using the wi-fi router. my touch pro 2 never did that to me though so im wondering whats wrong.
help?
thanks
sorry to bump this but can no one help me?
Is it getting hot? Mine gets warm after using WIFI router. Once, only once, and I have no idea why because it hasn't done it since then, it randomly rebooted. I understand that higher temps can cause issues with the HD2. I'd do a search but I'm too frazzeled after a long day of work.
it cant be the heat...my phone gets warm but not hot once in a while. when it resets itself, it doesnt have to be hot to do it.
and when it does reset itself, it forgets to start the gps so i have to reset it again
i hate when it does it...is that normal to not go past 50% ram usage? does anyone elses do that? im gonna call and get a replacement but does anyone elses HD2 not go past it?

You don't have your ROM in your sig, so I don't know if you have a custom or not.
For sure, you phone crashing that fast is a shame and not normal.
If you are running a custom ROM, try getting on that thread to see if someone has or had the same issue. Sometimes these things happen and fixes are pretty fast if the chef wants to keep an audience.
If you are running stock, you might consider giving a custom ROM a shot, especially some of the "Lite" versions out there.
Be sure to Task 29 between any flashing to wipe out all previous data. Spare bits hanging around can interfere with a new ROM in unpredictable ways, including developing a crash pattern specific to your device that doesn't happen to other users of the same ROM.
Please keep us informed of your progress, someday another might have the issue and be looking for your solution, even if that is a hardware warranty exchange
hmm, i can see the rom version and everything on my sig... =/
im running the stock rom.
i wanted to go to a custom rom but then i hate having to update the rom every time a new one comes out. you know? props to the chefs who do that though!
i just had it exchanged. it was too annoying to keep going on like that
Anyone else? Im not exactly sure if its Phone.apk, DialerTabeActivity.apk, or simply the act of voice calls that is causing it. But it seems as though whenever i make a call, or have an incoming call, my phone almost cant handle it. It lags out like crazy.
This morning, my phone started ringing. There was so much lag that i couldnt answer the phone in time. Also, when i go to hang up a voice call, it often takes the "end call" button almost 10seconds to respond. Lastly, just earlier, i ended a call with my buddy. It LITERALLY took 3 minutes between the time i ended that call, and started a new one. Thats how bad the lag was.
Anyone else experiencing this? Any ideas how to fix it? Maybe its the modem?
This lag is literally intolerable, and a major inconvenience to efficiency.
PS - No, im not running a lagfix. I experimented with and without, and i determined that overall my phone performs better without it.
PPS - This is not me being oCD about my phone or a ROM. Im not being that "never satisfied" guy. Everything else with the ROM is great, its just this one thing.
Im using Eugene's B_Stock_1120_100 kernel, found here: http://eb-productions.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=samsungsgs&action=display&thread=28

I would try starting from stock and working back up to nero v4.1.
I appreciate eugenes work but thats where most of my problems come from. Using nero v3 and experimenting with eugenes kernals(I was bored) I had constant lag, random reboots, panic/safe mode, freezes, couldnt access external sd card etc... Try starting from stock. Are you using titanium backup with system info.

It sucks because this particular kernel of his offers almost everything i want in a 2.2 kernel (BLN, bootup/shutdown animations, lagfixes, OC/UV, and i also love the recovery menu).....although, with this ROM at least, the only lagfix that works is Voodoo, and the OC is only clocked at 1120ghz.
I was wondering if maybe this was causing it. And im mildly depressed to learn that it very well may be. I like TW's kernels, but they just seem to be battery destroyers.
So are you saying not to use this Eugene kernel at all? Should I try a TW one instead? Sorry but stock kernels suck and i want to avoid them if possible.
PS - I dont know what youre asking in terms of TiBu
I just tried it while on Wi-Fi, call came in, no lag answering it, I browsed engadget website, and no out of ordinary lag.
Flash back to stock and go back to the ROM, see if it resolves the issue.
EDIT: I am using Voodoo though
had same problem and i had just come from a fresh odin to stock. couldn't take it and went back to axura latest rom. plus vringo and video tonez don't work with roms with voice start and shutdowns.
Hi guys,,
I have an i9505 with RRv5.7.3 flashed and a strange thing seems to be happening....
Whenever I do a clean install of RR and install my apps everything runs GREAT, Its nice and snappy and everything just "works"....
Then about 3 days after install, and doing nothing but general usage, it starts to play up all sorts of funny, from different apps randomly crashing or acting really buggy to random reboots.....
This happens with both RR v5.7.1 and RR v5.7.3,, I was going to try the latest RR but I have a feeling its going to be the same issue.
Can anyone help me with this??
Thanks in advance

You can read through the Resurrection Remix thread and you will get the answer to your question. To the "Has anyone experienced an issue like this?" question I mean.

Yeah, that's what I expected. So it must be something unique to you. In other words, it could be something you've done or are doing that causes this. Maybe an app.
The fact remains that ROMs usually don't work perfectly fine for a few days then simply start to go crazy. Something must have triggered it.

Yeah, thats what gets me though... I do a fresh install and install my apps all within a day, and it runs fine, then a few days later it starts... little things at first like keyboard popping up then down then back up again, but I can live with things like that but after a week or two and not installing anything just general usage it gets worse and worse until the point I can't even browse the web or I can be on a call then the "phone" app crashes and then I go to make another call then it will reboot on me....
Maybe it could be a hardware problem? The phones been very looked after though but you never know.
I had a similar problem with a Linux machine I was building... It would run great, then after a while it would do funny things I couldn't wrap my head around, then next day would be fine then bad again....
It turned out that certain system files and some required packages had been installed onto bad sectors on the HDD.....
