Hi,
I've searched this forum and google for this problem but couldn't get an answer so far. My Legend isn't rooted and I'm using 2.05.405.2. Always after about 2 days my phone gets really laggy. For example pulling down statusbar can take up to 20 seconds until it reacts. Also when I get an incoming call, picking up can last up to 10 seconds. The only way to resolvethis so far is to reboot the phone, but thats exactly what I don't want. I tried several taskkillers without success, I then tried without any taskkillers, too. Also same behaviour. I just have a few apps installed:
- JuiceDefender
- Opera
- ES File Explorer
- MixZing
- Handcent
- Facebook
- SystemPanel Lite
- K9
I tried to get into SystemPanelLite when the phone gets laggy to see what process this is causing, but without any success. I'm really puzzled as I don't understand, why the system is getting laggy up to an unusable amount. I'm not a poweruser who is playing around every 5 minutes with his phone, just writing and reading some SMS, taking a look at facebook and reading and writing mails. Is this a common problem with the legend and everybody is used to it or is this a problem that only hits me for whatever reason? Oh, yes, the problem also existed with older firmware, too.
No such problem in my legend
My legend is very smooth

same here. No such problem in my Legend, it is too smooth.
Legend is known to be a snappy handset.
How much free memory do you have ?
Did you try uninstalling any third party apps to see if any of that is causing the trouble?
Thanks for the answers. I uninstalled now k9, JuiceDefender and ES File Manager, as these are the only one, that I have installed always from the beginning. I'll report back, if that helped.
have you got the facebook contacts bug where you've got about 50,000 duplicated contacts?

No, facebook runs just fine with contact-synchronisation and all.

It happened even to me during the first start-up. I decided to reset completely the phone and make a clean start-up. I believe you should very carefully during the first sync of gmail,facebook,etc. Leave the time to the Legend to sync properly and install one application behind the other.
After that my Legend is working fine
As I upgraded to the first 2.xxx firmware, I had it resettet to defaults, as I did the upgrade via USB. As far as I remember, synchronisation was done when I began to install apps. But I think, if the deinstallation of the mentioned applications doesn't resolve this issue, I will try to reset it, too...
I had similar behavior, when installing that Facebook update last week. Besides the published battery drain the phone became laggy and unresponsive. The dialer sometimes took 10 seconds to react! Sometimes I could not even take a call. The patch that came after to improve the battery drain didn't fix the lag issue for me.
So I uninstalled the complete facebook update via application menu and voila! No more lag. Everything is as snappy as before. Not even a reboot was required.
I just uninstalled the fb updates out of interest and my Legend was much quicker! Reinstalling the updates and it's still quick. I didn't notice the slowdown before. Thanks!
After uninstalling k9, JuiceDefender, ES File Manager and facebook updates along with disabling facebook for android, so that there is only facebook for sense there, these are the results after 2 days so far:
- phone is snappy as if it was turned on 5 minutes ago
- battery-life is much better! Without JuiceDefender it was about 8-10 hours with very slight usage, up to 36 hours with JuiceDefender... today, after over 42 hours my battery is at 32%, I played games, wrote some SMS, took some pictures and had a short call
So it has to be one of the above mentioned apps. From what I read up until now, my closest bet is the facebok-app, that could be interfering with facebook for sense. I will now reinstall k9, JuiceDefender an ES File Manager and report back again in about 2 days.
Edit: It seems to be that k9 is the reason for the lags... just some minutes after installing and configuring k9 I noticed some lag with scrolling in lists, uninstalled it again and the lag was gone...
Update:
I installed the updates for FB again and I'm using it as before. The phone is still very snappy, no sign of slowdowns. Next I will test JuiceDefender.
After testing a lot with uninstalling all apps and then step by step reinstalling I found the problem: It seems that JuiceDefender triggered for whatever reason the lag after about 2 days. At the moment I also don't have a need to reinstall it, as from my testings I found out, that my battery lasts for 2 days without JuiceDefender, with JuiceDefender it was just 4-5 hours more. This is with fb-updates hourly, gps always on, 2 IMAP-Accounts that are qurried via push, some sms a day and about half an hour telephone, slight internet browsing.
Glad to hear your phone is running better. As a side note, I still use Juice Defender but an old version 1.7.7 The development seemed to go off the rails after this version and i was not happy with any other the updates so I am sticking with this older version.
Still get about 2x the battery life using it.
I also having same problem and available free memory keeps on reducing . Though i installed juicedefender, i never uses that and kill using system panel. Will uninstall and check for 2 days
Situational update: I am now running JPM. GPS problem fixed, but battery life is a complete nightmare: full charge during night, 8 hours later only 30% left (after 2 reboots because the battery dropped suddenly) with only 3G running.
I am using Quick Settings, Titanium, K9 Mail and nothing else. GPS is not on. Wifi is not on. What can I do? Also, phone temperature is rather high compared to 2.1.
Old situation:
Hi everyone!
Firstly thanks for all the info on the i5800, I have read a lot & come to understand everything better.
I am a complete n00b so sorry for any dumb questions. I recently upgraded my i5800 from stock 2.1 to FROYO.XXJPF as I had problems with the files of JPM (no .tar, no idea how to make them .tar) via ODIN. All seems to work well except three (important!) things:
- GPS doesn't fix, even with Octy's both apps & everything else I have tried
- phone temperature is through the roof, feels warm all of the time
- battery life is shortened considerably: full charge yesterday until 9AM, at 10PM is was at 10 percent with 5' calls, bit of browsing, 10' of tinkering with GPS. After reboot I had 30% battery life. I then installed CPU Tuner & still have 30% 12h later. Temperature is also down because of CPU Tuner when the phone is idle but when I start using the phone it heats up quickly again...
GPS is a big thing for me, so too is battery. Anyone any ideas? Typical JPF issues?
Also, when I did the upgrade to JPF, I had an /esf backup, app backup & contacts backup but all the rest was gone afterwards... Is there any way to keep app settings (e.g. email account settings, ...)?
And, is there an alternative to ROM Manager that does work for our phones?
Try out the Custom ROMs...Kyrillos ofc.. the best stable version out there!
if u have problem about this ROM...just PM me...

Hi,
First of all I would advice to install JPM, not JPF. The rar from samfirmware does have a tar inside and it can easily be flashed using ODIN. The link and instructions are on this page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=778880
Also don't restore any backups after flashing a new firmware, you may be creating version problems restoring files that are meant for another firmware.
If you want to backup your contacts just export them to a .vcf file in the contact app and import them later from the file after flashing.
Finally, do a factory reset and wipe the cache before and after flashing.
So shut down the phone, hold home + vol.up + vol.down, turn on, select factory reset from the recovery menu, then select wipe cache.
Then shutdown the phone, hold home + vol.down, turn on, connect usb to computer. Flash with ODIN.
After flashing do the factory reset again with same method as above and after reboot import contacts from .vcf.
That should give you Froyo without any problems.
Thank you both.
Bakayoyo, I just followed your instructions and am now booting a factory reset/swiped cache JPM. I will report back! Thanks for your detailed & clear instructions, that makes everything a lot easier...
Lastly: I keep having the issues with the JPM download via the XDA-thread. Via the Samfirmware website there is no problem... The download there is just a .rar that unrars to a .tar package.
EDIT: GPS is functioning. Will report back for battery life & temperature. Thanks a million, Bakayoyo!
Ok update time. Battery problem still occurs: full charge tonight and at 60% after 5 hours with only 3G running and nothing else... I had adfree installed, threw that off. Now only Titanium, K9, Quick Settings running. What to do and what is causing this? Phone feels hot too...
EDIT: see first post, now at 30% by doing nothing, only 8 hours after full charge...
It is better if you use task killers. I am using jpm and my battery is fine gives me a whole day even with 3g. Apps running in background consume battery.

I did some research and found out I probably screwed up with settings in K9 as I had push accounts poll every minute...
I have 3 push accounts that are now only pushing and 1 POP account that is set to poll every 5 minutes. I'll see what this does to battery life, as I did not even get 12 hours of only 3G before it fell out today.
I read a lot of warnings on ATKs on 2.2...

r u sure? i dont think so... if u kill apps running on background, they will reload later again itself. and killing and reloading apps all the time is consuming battery
Well when you use apps like facebook,music players,video players etc. They run in background even when not needed to. For backgrounds services you have task killers which have options of not killung these services. Personally i kill each app and service. Due to this my battery life has been extended by a whole.

Try InDroid 3.0 . Any version.(There are 4). GPS Perfect! About battery life , User review is enough.
GPS is fine since JPM.
Battery was being eaten by K9, even with correct push settings. I uninstalled it, and went back to standard email app. Result: phone temperature back to normal, battery life back to normal. So all is fine now! Only issue that remains is that incoming calls screw up the battery meter, reboot fixes this (this was already an issue in stock 2.1). Very annoying!
I keep getting random lockups, at least more than once a day, and sometimes several reboots in a row.
It appears that i can happen almost any time, whether it be at a lock screen, while titanium is asking for root, or opening twitter or facebook, even the gmail app. It simply freezes, and requires me to long press the off button and reboot.
Unfortunately, i can't get adb via usb to work on the nook, so i can't get a reliable logcat.
Is this common? I have had two nook devices so far, tranferred the rom over through nandroid and have had lock ups on both, I am flashing regular cm7 nightlies now (emmc), but it occured using phiremod too.
Help?
I never had one, maybe I'm lucky
Have you tried fixing permissions in clockwork?

I am having the same problem. I loaded CM7 to my emmc yesterday and I have had it freeze on me a couple of times now. All have been random. I do have performance set to 1.1 and on demand gov set.
So I can just go to ROM manager to fix permissions? Hopefully that works.
EDIT**
Did not work. Was fine, then I uninstalled market updates, connected to wifi, opened the old market, searched for flash and it froze up. Any ideas?
EDIT 2**
uninstalled beautiful widgets (read that somewhere), so far no lockups (fingers crossed).
i had mine lock-up twice last night
i was in dolphinHD and i had just installed swype beta
i have only had 1 time that it has locked up before then in the last 1-2 months that i have had it.
im blaming swype, since i havent had the problem in the past
perhaps not your problem, if you dont have it installed.
I get lockups pretty regularly. It's irritating. Not sure what the cause is. I thought overclocking had something to do with it but everyone else is overclocked and this problem doesn't seem to be common.
How low do you have the voltage settings in tweaks? Having a voltage just barely too low for your CPU can cause a lot of weirdness. Also, it could be any one of the stepping voltage settings, not necessarily either the min/max frequency.
Folks, playing with the voltage settings in nook tweeks is not for the average user. These settings can really bork your nook. That's why you get a warning when you open those settings.
That being said, I have been running cm7 on eMMC for months and have never had a lockup. I am overclocked to 1200 mHz but have left the voltages alone.(cm7.1 nightly 160).
If you are running on eMMC,try fix permissions first. If that does not help, start looking at the apps you are running to determine if one of them might be the problem. Several people have reported issues running beautiful widgets. There are other apps that can cause issues. If you have good backups of all your apps, try removing apps one at a time. In the process, you might learn something about your system.
Worst case, reinstall cm7, wipe data, cache, and dalvic cache. Start over with a clean system and add your apps (apps only, not apps+data) one at a time. This will ensure that a possibly currupt data set was not causing the issue.
The key to a fast, well functioning nook is to start slowly and ensure each change works well before moving on to the next step.
While it's true I have more time than most to play (retired), my nook can run circles around most competitors but only because I took the time to set it up right the first time and I am not afraid to wipe everything and start over.

I fixed permissions some time ago, seemed to help a bit, but i still get the odd lock up or two. I am running Swype and Beautiful widgets(anyone know a good alternative?)
I had been getting irritated by these these random locks up for a while. It seems that uninstalling beautiful widgets fixed the problem for me. I thought it might be that BW was trying to access the GPS, but it still locked up after disabling geo location in BW.

In case you're still interested, BeWeather is a great substitute for BW and FlexT9 in place of Swype.
Also, I had issues with lockups no matter my overclocking and formatting the eMMC and possibly reseating the SD card fixed it.
Ok, I only recently started having this problem but it has persisted across two ROMs and three wipes.
Several times an hour OpenFeint will popup onscreen unbidden with the screen that asks me to disable it or enable it. This happens even when I'm not playing a game and even when the phone is sitting on my desk and locked; I'll pick it up, unlock it and the screen will already be up waiting.
As I said I've used two different ROMs, first Swagged Out-Stock (Swag-On) and the latest version of MikG. I wiped Swagged and reloaded it only to have the problem again and then switched to MikG and still have it. I do have a handful of OF enabled games installed.
I've tried everything I can think of to stop this; deleted the OF folder, opened OF from a game and chose Remove Account from this Device and even used closeFeint (app I found on XDA) all for nothing. I've looked all over for a file tied to it and have used different task apps, autorun apps and the built-in battery monitor to try and track it down but no luck.
Has any one else run into this or can any one offer any help on how I might get rid of it? I know that I can remove all OF related games but I do play them (and have paid for one) and would like to keep them if at all possible.
Hey guys, I've had my VZW G2 since Feb and could not imagine being any happier with a phone. It's been completely perfect up until about a month ago.
I've been running official KK 442 since close to release. I tether a Pebble Steel daily. Phone is rooted and xposed with G2 Tweaksbox, GravityBox (KK),XBlast, and XuiMod as the main xposed mods installed.
Apps commonly used:
Facebook
FB Messenger
Poweramp
Chrome
Opera
Spotify
BleacherReport
Yahoo Fantasy
Light Flow
Sync (bit torrent Sync- just started using it well after battery issues started)
Pocket Casts
Mint
Pebble app (always latest from Play Store)
Various pebble apps like MusicBoss and PebbleLocker
Running this set up, i used to EASILY get at least 30+ hours battery life, with most days above 40+. That's being tethered to my watch for 9 hours. I didnt even have a charger at work because id be at 75% by the end of the day and would get an entire second work day out of the same charge.
Then one day I woke up and havent been able to get better than 25, with many days barely making 12-18. My battery life has been effectively halved and I can't figure out why. I'm constantly playing with settings or installing new apps, so I reverted any and all possible changes I'd made and froze all recently installed/new apps. When this didn't fix the problem, I started uninstalling and freezing apps that had been updated recently in the Play Store. When that didn't work, i took more drastic measures:
Things I've done:
FDR device, including wiping all data in TWRP and turning off google's app data sync to ensure fresh settings/config files
Uninstalled or used TitaniumBackup to freeze 40+ apps, including all non-necessary apps often considered to be battery hogs (fb+messenger, for example)
Froze Xposed and disabled all mods to run almost completely stock ROM with largely default settings
Monitored GSAM, BetterBatteryStats, Wakelock Detector, and CPU Spy for rogue/borked apps
Skipped wearing Pebble for a day to test
Updated and downgraded Google Play Services (various versions from as old as this past spring to the latest version released last week)
Prayed to Joe Pesci
Has anyone heard or seen ANYTHING that could be causing massive battery life losses but that doesn't show up as an app with massive wakelocks? Google Play Services has tons of wakelocks, but it always has. It's a known battery hog, but additional WLs and battery consumption are now expected with Google consolidating more and more services into it, so I'm not sure what to expect now. I dont use Hangouts but keep it installed and frozen 99.9999% of the time.
Not sure what else to do at this point.
still having major battery life issues. I've fdr twice and ran stock with minimal apps for a day with very little change.
guess my battery is bad. ugh.
is it worth replacing myself or should I try and get vzw or lg to replace it under standard warranty?
