[Q] advice? feels like my phone is getting more unstable

**Edit: i just posted this in the questions forum -- seemed more appropriate. moderator, please feel free to delete. sorry!
What's up everyone! just needed some advice if you don't mind. lately my phone's been freezing randomly, and it seems like my battery life has been getting crappier..
was wondering if I should just Odin back to stock and re-flash everything, do you think that would cure my ills?
I started with my first ROM -- srf1.1.0 and loved it... tried the vision kernel 1.1, tried genocide 1.0... LOVED vision 1.2 but went back to 1.1 because ppl started getting bricks..
i don't know if it's data corruption (have journalling off), or if it's like artifacts from vision kernel 1.2 (it didn't give me any problems, honestly my fav kernel with insane battery life it seemed)
yesterday i restored a back up that was pre-ext4.. and it when that rebooted i had the "android" flashing over the original sprint bootup animation, so i rebooted and got thrown into a boot loop. pulled battery, booted into cwm and restored into a more recent backup that was post-ext4 and things seem to be fine.. except i've gotten maybe two random freezes since.
so yea, do you think Odin to stock and reflashing srf will bring me back to bliss, or.. am i screwed, or somewhere in between? i've read as much as i could but i know i'm a newb, so i'm grateful for any wisdom y'all can throw my way. THANKS!

This is more then likely a kernel based problem,but you can try using setcpu and limit your min. clock speed to 200mhz not 100mhz,this has helped several people ; My phone loves 100mhz,never had a freeze while using that clock speed,but each phone is diffrent,and might I suggest using Twilight Zone 1.0.4,awesome kernel...

thanks! i will look into using that kernel!

My phone does this too. Screen goes static washed out yellow looking with artifact down the screen. Have to battery pull to fix it, no overclocking or undervolting. Getting ready to odin and reflash myself.

Are any of you overclocking or undervolting? This will cause data corruption and freezing. I get it all the time at 1.3Ghz but not at 1.2Ghz. Every phone is different.
Do you BONSAI?

Mine did this last week, but I had reverted to rfs on 2.5.1 running Gingerbread that has some issues. When trying to put everything back (couldn't just run backup since I had changed systems), it took a day, stuck loops, stuck nothing, stuck Samsung, etc.
Read how to fix bricked phone, back to EC05, re-rooted, re did cwm 3.0, reflashed Syndicate, now everything smooth again.
I was kicking myself in the a-s for doing that, so hopefully this would help and save you a days worth of problems. Just find that link, read and follow

yea i just odin'd back to sock EB13, went to the EC05 through ODIN, reflashed SRF1.1.0 and everything's been GREAT since... getting superb battery life like i was on the vision 1.2 kernel.. weird, but i'll take it.

What version of ec05 are you guys odining back to? The version I have (EC05 FULL) was causing me all the issues I had. Instead I odined to stock eb13 and upgraded to ec05 ota. Since then im back on midNIGHT [email protected] w/ midnight honeycomb theme and I have to say this thing has never been speedier, or more stable than it is now. Also, I tried to redownload ec05 from the midnight android dev page and I get a corrupt file error when trying to unzip the .tar from the ec05 rar. I feel if ANYONE has any issues, before they blame the kernel I suggest starting from scratch on eb13. Not one freeze yet, no artifacts, no lag, no horrid battery draining. Life is good

I do that often, I just run an Odin back to DI18, upgrade to ec05 over OTA, then reflash the ROM I wanted. It brings my phone back up to full speed.

any particular reason by DI18 rather than EB13?
i think i've read in some other threads that it seems DI28 and DK28 are better somehow.. is that true?
so much that i've learned compared to when i was first starting to research what rooting meant.. and yet, still so much more to learn!

[Q] Wierd

So im starting to notice that basically on every rom i run after about a week or 2 its starts to get all crazy and laggy and i start getting fcs ill reflash then same thing a week or 2 and it goes crazy again is it just me ?

ever tried starting from a fresh, clean slate? Meaning, ODIN to stock ec05 then root and flash roms? This should take care of any problems

Lots of roms have disabled journaling. When you disable journaling, you gain a tiny bit of performance, but every time you shut down incorrectly or drop the phone and the battery pops out, you are corrupting the hell out of some data. I can only assume that that is what is happening to you.

1. i have odin bout 1000000 times lol so doubt its that.
2.i usually HAVE to pull the battery after the 2 weeks cause its starts being an ass but i never drop my phone hard enough to make it drop the battery

Download reEnable journaling from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1071723
Flash your rom.. Let it boot up... then boot back into clockwork and flash this.. no wipes necessary.. should help.

You ever turn the phone off and pull the battery for any reason? Has the battery left the phone for any reason at all? I have noticed that some newer roms vibrate when they are turned off, but they are really not off for like 30 seconds after the vibration. You can see this by opening up the phone and looking at the keyboard lights or looking really closely at the screen and seeing its not completely off. Pulling the battery for any reason before the phone is completely 100% turned off can lead to corruption.

When I used to run no journal, I would start getting force closes after day 4 or 5 like clockwork. I always shut my phone down properly and waited a bit. I re-enabled journal and haven't had data corruption or force closes in over 2 months...unless I am beta testing something for a dev and its not quite right

I didn't bother to read previous post but, that happens when u had a bad fresh install to begin with. *aka odin*
Sent from my Epix 4G using XDA

yup, like I said, fresh ODIN of ec05 should do the trick. Then as others have said, enable journaling with whatever custom rom you slap on.
If you still have problems with f/c and lagging/freezing then you may have larger issues to attend to. I have been running custom roms with journaling disabled for the past 6 months and rarely have f/c problems.
Oh, and once you do get a fresh install of the rom you want, do a NAND backup immediately so you can restore to it if problems arise again.

If you don't use journaling, NEVER use the reset feature from the power button menu. Resetting and using utilities like Root Booter will cause data corruption and software rot.

And never pull the battery without waiting for the vibration. Also back up often in case of a freeze and battery pull.

People are so hung up on benchmark scores they lose sight of things like data loss on non-journaled roms. If I'm not mistaken if you make a backup with clockwork recovery and restore itit remounts with default mount options.

[FIXED] having issues.. EDIT! ram issue! Edit 2: fixed! sd card issue

im not sure when this started but it seems like every rom, every kernal i use now my phone will close apps to a black screen and freeze up for different lengths of time. was doing it in stock, and now a custom rom. tried different kernals... seems to be worse when the phone first boots up. its almost like a force close but slower and i don't get the force close message. help
Edit: ok i brought up the ram manager and my ram would start around 250 and climb up before my eyes until the screen blacks out.... how do i figure out what is eating up the ram.. and why does it stop?

yeah odined to stock ec05 and it was just as bad. rebooting the phone actually made it worse... seemed like it took forever for everythign to stabilize. phone also seems to get hot but i could be wrong about that. not the battery but above the battery near the camera

Quite often this is caused by restoring old data over a new rom using a program like titanium backup. Sometimes you can get away with it between similar roms but restoring Froyo data on to a gingerbread rom will almost always cause lots of FCs.

Isn't the spot right above the battery where the chip is located? Have you been overclocking your phone like I have at 1400 everyday? I was wondering if I have been flashing too much. I saw some of these issues myself. Odin started freezing as well but it seems to have smoothed out. I thought I may have wiped out my phone

Ummm, I am kind of at a loss here. You don't have any physical damage to your phone? No serious drops? You didn't go swimming with it in your pocket? But seriously, I run at 1400/100 on demand all of the time and that spot gets hot on Gingerbread ROMs but not on Froyo unless I run a lot of video at 1400 max.

When did you purchase your phone? did this start to happen after you started loading custom ROMs or since the start?
What is your current setup right now? Do you use RFS or EXT4?
What hacks have you loaded to your phone, and after what even that you performed on the phone did you start experiencing this issues?

i've had the phone for a year. i've been doign roms for at least 6 months.. this only started in the last month on both rfs and ext4. i don't know what i did that could have done this.. honestly i started noticing it when i odined back to EC05 a few weeks ago. then i did an rfs rom, then drockstars kernal, now srf 1.2 and tz kernal. just seems to be getting worse and worse. to be honest it may have started after i flashed back from eh22

I had this same issue. I was to a point of chamging phones.
I decided to watch 5 different tutorials/youtibe videos on how to odin back to stock.
In that process, 3 of the videos had different options checked. Yes, I decided to try each way, restoring apps/data from Titanium, each time.
After the first 2 attempts, and still seeing the freezes, I started to get some kind of com.google.apps process force close errors.
I was really ready to beat my phone up at this point.
So, after deciding, I've had enough, I said I would do it ONE more time. (There was still one more checkbox that another video was showing...)

Sry, my fat fingers pressed submit.
Anyhow, Ive 0 programming experience so, all of this might kust be a lucky fluke. When I odin'd, I checked all three options. Re-Partition, Autoreboot, And F. Reset Time.
Only 1 video of the 4 I watched said to do this.
I then restored my apps and data back w/ Titanium.
I did make sure that any data from OEM apps, was not broight back, as a precaitonary on my part. It was really driving me nuts. Hope this helps....

crap well it wasn't TW4... uninstalled it last night. today rebooted and same thing.... its so strange it only happens the most after i reboot the phone. black screen with the status bar up top. if i touch the screen the button lights will come on ... if i swipe down the status bar it will eventually come down.. but with a ton of lag
i guess i'll nandroid backup and start from scratch with odin again. bone stock no root see what happens.
EDIT: just noticed that the modem seems to reset every time it does this. didn't see that before cause it doesn't always make the no signal sound. but the bars on the status screen go dark and the little x pops up above them before the home screen redraws. so basically whatever i'm doing goes to black screen.. times out for 10 min with just the bar on top, modem resets and goes back to the home screen

ok i brought up the ram manager and my ram would start around 250 and climb up before my eyes until the screen blacks out.... how do i figure out what is eating up the ram.. and why does it stop?
man this is nuts... i've got android system info running and i'm watching the processes tab... all the programs start usign memory, then android starts killing them off until they are almost all gone then i go to black screen... i dont' know what the hell is going on
edit: tasks is showing android.process.acore twice, package com.fede.launcher. both are using 34.89 MB and have cpu at 100... however total CPU usage is only showing 7%

Roll call of those who are successfully running Stock Gingerbread without Reboots

If you are running a version of Stock Gingerbread and it's worked for you for at least 4 days without a reboot, please check in here and answer the following questions:
What version ROM, what version modem?
Are percent of the time do you typically spend in a low signal strength area?
What options did you have selected in ODIN when you flashed it?
What launcher do you use?
Is your phone rooted?
How many apps do you have installed, and are not from an "official" market?
How long between charges?
Anything else you may thing contributes to your success with Gingerbread?
You can see where I'm going here. Some people seem to have great luck with gingerbread, others (like me) keep having reboots. Perhaps there is something common between all the lucky users that we can figure out.

1. EH17 on both
2. If I'm at work, I have hardly any phone signal, but usually a bar of 4G. Outside of my office, I get a few bars of 3G.
3. Used Heimdall 1.3 over EH06 which was over EG22. Flashed everything but data, cache, and recovery.
4. Zeam Launcher
5. Yes, rooted.
6. Dozens of apps installed. From official and Amazon market. One app not from any market.
7. Charge daily. Leave on charger at work.
8. Luck of the draw on my phone?

Eg22 rom and modem. Maddoggins lock. Never a reboot. Working nicely. Seems after freezinga few thing the battery is gettting under control. Not even concerned w another flash til an official is released.

1. EG22, ROM and modem
2. Inside my house, there are some dead spots but outside its usually alright
3. Umm i think i put the tar or whatever in phone not PDA and no reset time(obviously)
4. GO Launcher EX
5. Of course
6. Um i think all are from official market that i can think of...?
7. I usually charge every night or just put in a spare battery
8. Well i use Eg22Plus Kernel and qbkings overscroll and battery percent mod. Also use necrosans Eg22 hotspot hack. Ive had one reboot EVER on gingerbread about 2 or 3 days after flashing EG22 but it was after tethering for 3 hours straight haha and i think the phone was just overloaded.

1. EH17 w/ ee03 modem
2. I usually have 5 bars with 3G when I'm using data, and on 4G I'll have two bars most of time. I guess every where I go in Nj have great signal.
3. I don't flash Roms with ODIN.
4. I used Tw4.5 by fr4ggor mostly, now I'm using spb 3d launcher.
5. Yes, I'm rooted
6. I have 28 apps installed from the official market.
7. I use my phone till it dies then charge it once it's dead, until its at a reasonable percentage, maybe like 60% - 70%.

I too had no reboots on EG22 rooted Bonsai B14. Will probably go back to that until then next leak and install the EH17 Browser with it. My reboots on everything else came with Wifi and also an Airave. So it is not signa related for me.

There is now way possible that anyone of us can be 100% sure that we haven't got a random reboot unless we stare at the phone 24/7. The reboots can happen even when we are not attending to the phone or over night in our sleep.
I've had my phone work fine all day and when I get up at 0400h in the morning find my phone just finishing an SD CARD Scan because it rebooted.
IMBO, I believe that this affects all GB roms from the 1st leak to this last one, its an ongoing situation with Sammy / Sprint, possibly thats one of the reasons why we see an increment in the RDF pages...

Actually it's pretty easy to tell. Look at the uptime under Settings>Status>Up time. The number resets with every reboot. If you've never had a reboot it should correspond to the number of hours since you turned on the phone.

What version ROM, what version modem? EG22, Using EH06 modem.
Are percent of the time do you typically spend in a low signal strength area? A good amount here in NH.
What options did you have selected in ODIN when you flashed it?Just the middle option checked, modem in phone slot.
What launcher do you use? Varies. LP, GO, trying out Zeam
Is your phone rooted? Yes
How many apps do you have installed, and are not from an "official" market?Probably a couple
How long between charges?6-12 hours depending
Anything else you may thing contributes to your success with Gingerbread? Had a lot of bad luck with different combos of roms, kernels, and themes, I am staying pretty stock until official comes out. My gps works on EG22, and I get the upgrades of GB in general so I'm happy.

What version ROM, what version modem? V1.3 Hurricane[ERA]
Are percent of the time do you typically spend in a low signal strength area? Med-High signal strength
What options did you have selected in ODIN when you flashed it? Used the ".pit" fle nd "repartion" and "auto reboot" selected.
What launcher do you use? I use Go launcher EX.
Is your phone rooted? Yes
How many apps do you have installed, and are not from an "official" market? I have about 25 apps installed 3 aren't from market.
How long between charges? Usually 8-10 hours because of school.
Anything else you may thing contributes to your success with Gingerbread? Hm I feel the repartioningwith the stock deodexed rom helped and the hurricane rom is problem free, and using the EH17plus kernel seperate flash. Oh and the V8 Supercharger update-9 beta-ish script using the multitasing settings.

Oympus ROM, messing w v6... anyways, just wanted to point out, I get the reboots, sometimes with a lockup, that do NOT show up in uptime or the battery stats (stock). had one 12 hrs ago and both didnt catch it. Mine does the soft reboot, just blacks out then comes back a second later, starting into the SD scan. About every 3rd time, it locks up first, I cant get any response from onscreen or cap. buttons, then it vibes one quick burst then reboots. RAM crash? My ram is still high, any tips on a V6 setup would be appreciated, tried suggested ones around...

About every 3rd time, it locks up first, I cant get any response from onscreen or cap. buttons, then it vibes one quick burst then reboots. RAM crash? My ram is still high, any tips on a V6 setup would be appreciated, tried suggested ones around...

Grab the latest V6 (update9beta2) here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991276
MegaRam option #9 worked wonders for mine. Tried other options, but was still getting frequent 'soft' reboots when memory would leak out completely. I simply installed Advance Task Killer to monitor reboots, because anytime it would do a soft reboot the little green guy would be back.

URGENT!! Apps fcing?

I just flashed urban regeneration rom, and I restored a bunch of apps from titanium backup and almost all of them are force closing. What's going on!? It can't be data corruption. The rom is journaled!

Factory data reset and restore apps only....no data.

sometimes restore app data across different "platforms" causes this jumping from GB to froyo backing up apps and data then restoring over and over again i learned this working my girls evo, theres a option in My backup Root for PM binaries that handles restoring better for things like this also for apps on sdcard

Wow, sorry that happened acer.

Like others have said, some apps don't like being restored across roms. To fix it I've had to delete the apps that FC, re-install them from the market (or wherever you got them), then restore just the data.
Hope that helps.

I was going through this with Acer on G-Talk. It was giving him all kinds of problems. Acer, are you all straightened out now? Restoring Gingerbread data on Froyo has given me more errors than almost anything in testing

Yeah I'm fine now. Lost some game data, but a lot of those games didn't require much progress. Some were just high scores

Had Same Issues here too, plus google errors popping up.
Erase everything in cwm backup that you have. Everything. Do the Normal 3x erase cache, data, etc 2
Then shut phone off.
Start up Odin....Make Sure You have the files you need..I Flashed both EH17 and EH17 Modem.
Once its done and loads up, do not sign in or do anything.
Shut Down and Flash the Rom of your Choice.
Then Once it starts up....sign in to apps, download backup app and reinstall.
This is What I had to do.
No Problems Since!!!!!!!!

Yeah, everything's working great so far other than some corrupted apps. Oh well.
One issue I have been having, and I'm not sure if it was Go Launcher, was when I tried turning on the screen, it would take a few seconds for it to go. I switched launchers and it seems to be working, but Go Launcher had been working at first too so idk.
Also, my phone only charges up to 97-98%. Not sure if that is suppose to happen, but it's definitely an annoyance since I feel like I'm losing 2-3% before even using my phone. Would calibrating solve this?

it is supposed to do that. prevents overcharging .

Yes, calibrating will fix that. You really need to do a factory data reset though and then redownload your apps. Don't restore data unless it was from before the FCs started.

Restoring data is pretty bad in general I would think, its a copy of a copy being placed on your phone, don't you think?

So which is it? I'm guessing that calibrating will work then? As for restoring apps & data, almost all the apps worked flawlessly, it's just a few are corrupted. But I just reinstalled the ones that had issues from the market and they work fine.

When you calibrate your battery properly and reset the stats it will take the close to 4.2V of the fully charged battery as the 100% point. So you should see 100% again. Sometimes you may pull your charger off in the bottom of the cycle and see 97% but put it back on charge for about 20 minutes and it will be 100%. It cycles between 97 to 100% to keep from overcharging.

Alrighty. It's just annoying how it feels like I'm losing 2-3%
Then again, I have a huge increase of battery life in comparison to EH17.

Just try clearing battery stats when your phone is fully charged.
