Hey everybody, I was wondering who else has noticed random reboots and lockups with their 7.7?
I have two, and they both exhibit that behavior.
If so, does anyone have a solution?
Please don't say ICS
I've had problems like this on other Android devices. Try watchdog. It's designed to report apps which use too much CPU. In my experience they are also the cause of phone crashes.

Try flashing the latest firmware from Samfirmware.com with Odin. As usual, backup first.
If your rooted and trying any sort of custom kernel, use less aggressive voltages or frequencies or a different governor.

I think I am using the latest, but I just checked the list here and it seems Samsung haven't released a new firmware since Feb 29 for Thailand. I need right-to-left language support (just to read & write, I still want my menus in English), so does anyone know if this firmware supports right-to-left?

Rooted, but no custom kernel or overclocking so that's not an issue but thanks.

I had this problem when I first got this pad. it was after I had restored a bunch of apps after reconfiguring touchwiz homescreens. It kept freezing on me. I cleared the data on my touchwiz app (via menu) and redid my homescreens. No freezing or lockups since.

Hey all, I'm getting some weird freezes starting today. I'm running Fusion 1.1 w/ JACs @1.2Ghz and Voodoo.
I haven't done anything different to my phone in the past 24 hours, but any music player freezes if I try to forward to another song or when the current song finishes. I've tried it on MixZing, Winamp, and Doubletwist. (Slacker and Pandora work though). I've tried rebooting, pulling the battery, reseating the SD card, etc.
Any ideas what might be causing this?
I asked the same question yesterday n no one answered

Oh and I was on bionix 1.9.1 so I thought it was the rom. Flashed to fusion 1.1 jac w voodoo n it works. Not sure why though
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I had the same issue. Used different roms with no improvement.
It turns out that it's a bug with the OC/UV kernel.
justanothercrowd stated that it's probably an issue with the undervolting. Go back to the stock kernel and it'll be stable again.
Grrr... it's weird because I've been fine on an OC/UV kernel for weeks now. And all of a sudden I have problems.
Well, strangely enough, PowerAmp works. I wish it had better sorting, but it'll do for now. (seriously don't want to give up the overclock, even though music a huge reason for owning this phone)

Yep, same thing for me. I was on JACs kernels for a while, and then suddenly my phone locked up every time i played music and the screen went dark. There's a bit of discussion in JACs kernel thread on the subject, but not much. Apparently on the OC/UV kernels, when the phone goes to sleep and the processor clocks down, it causes some fault with the music trying to play in the background which locks up the phone.
glad to hear you've found a workaround though!
What version of Jacs are you or were you running? I had random freezes with his 1.1 kernel, flashed the 1.0 kernel and have not had a single problem.

1.0 is the answer. I know Bionix roms come with 1.1, i usually dl stock rom version and flash Jacs 1.0 over it. All the UV, none of the FC.
Sent from my Vibrant running Bionix Final w/Jacs and Voodoo using XDA App
It was 1.0, and I don't think it was the kernel. Last night I flashed a bunch of different kernels and still had the same problem. Finally reflashed the full Bionix Fusion 1.1 and then JAC's 1.0 Voodoo kernel on top. Fixed!
I definitely had some kind of corruption, because all kinds of things were off, like Quadrant would hang, Youtube wouldn't work, and most music apps froze. Reflashing solved everything.

my music is stored on my phone's internal storage. I did apply the voodoo lagfix and then remove it (because of battery drain). but voodoo doesn't do anything to the storage partition which is fat32. i'll check the partition for errors.

Since recent updates I've been getting popping in audio. This ONLY occurs when I touch the screen. For example when I have a song on and I swype I can hear popping as I move my finger across the screen. Is anyone else having this issue? Using voodoo control plus with version 8 driver.
EDIT: Emailed supercurio. He is working on a fix and I am testing it for him. The only tweak he said he found so far to improve this is using the command "echo 0 > /sys/module/printk/parameters/time" in adb shell. He said it should improve noise popping and he was exactly right. The popping is still noticeable but has much improved! He said he will consider integrating it in a future version.
EDIT (5/16): To be clear, Supercurio says this is a flaw in the Froyo kernel whether stock or not. I recently odined back to DL09 to do OTA to EB03 and still have some issues. Being on complete stock, the issue is not nearly as bad and doesn't occur when I interact with the screen. The issue of sound popping occurs about every 8-12 seconds when playing back audio of any kind. Here is one of his exact messages in our email conversation.
"François SIMOND - supercurio to me

Hi Zachary!
This is an issue with the [Froyo]* kernel itself, which is poorly implemented.
Gingerbread kernels are not affected anymore. Is it really bad in ED01 ?"

What rom/kernel?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App
Community Rom and the included rom by nemesis2all. I just reverted from jt's alpha gingerbread and it happened on that too. Dont think it's a ROM issue but rather a voodoo sound driver issue. Just seeing if it's just me or if others are also noticing.

Yeah I'd revert back to the previous kernel with voodoo 7.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App
I too am having the same problem and it's driving me nuts! It's not only when you touch the screen, but whenever the processor load ramps up, so it's pretty much whenever the phone does any thinking. Very annoying.
Doesn't happen for me (imnuts -50). But I'm using MortPlayer, not the stock Samsung.
If you're on the nemesis kernel, try changing some of the enabled clockspeeds?
Doesnt help. This also happened when I was on CM7 when I wasnt on nemesis2all's kernel. I realized this didnt happen until voodoo driver version 8. I emailed project voodoo to see what they have to say.

Have you checked the scheduler you are using? It almost sounds like the phone is decreasing the priority devoted to decoding the mp3 too much or it is giving too much cpu to the ui. Drivers

I've noticed popping only since I flashed Jt's CM7 rom. I'm not currently on the rom, but the problem still exists. I'm thinking there's something in that rom that has messed up my phone's audio (hopefully not permanently).
Im having this strange pops too. I have a SGS i9000 and am using the Voodoo control plus app. Theyre very noticeable when i put on my headphones, horrible really. Id like some help or feedback on this. I wont mess with internal stuff since the app supposedly loads on top and doesnt change anything per se.
Try switching to the CFQ scheduler in Voltage Control app, if the problems did improved and rarely show up then switch to BFQ.
BFQ is the best for latency dependent data transports. I'm using the latest voodoo sound without any crackles or pops.
sound pooping; ehrrr... "popping"

an interesting theory - I've now got the popping-when-touching-the-screen issue too. although i'm currently running imnuts 100 kernel; the voodoo 8 (plus) app; and stock ED01 debloated - I did tryout the cm7 roms recently also.
I expect that's just coincidence - many of us here play with various roms and such...
also - the popping issue happens with all the sound apps I've tried (tw music player; pandora; npr; tunein radio, etc).

I believe JT1134 and imnuts used the same SIO default scheduler, you should verify with imnuts.
Changing schedulers doesn't work. I emailed supercurio and its just an issue with froyo kernels and his driver so it wont be fixed until the new version of voodoo sound most likely.

I don't know if you have this issue or not, but I didn't spend time writing this thread for nothing. I've done troubleshooting and have followed steps to fix it and even emailed the man who created the drivers. He mentioned nothing about schedulers just said that the Froyo kernels are poorly implemented and he will have to find a work around for it. He also mentioned there is no permanent fix for it, only what is in the OP. I can sit here playing with schedulers all day (as I have done), but nothing will change.
i also experienced this after flashing jt's cm7 so im pretty sure it has to do with the voodoo sound driver in the newer kernels as stated above. even after odin back to stock didnt fix the problem. hoping next voodoo update fixes this issue
*edit
problem fixed after going back to stock then installing official froyo
Sorry, I dont have enough posts yet to post in the dev thread so hopefully someone will add this to the Team Union Rom thread for me.
Basically, I installed Team Unions Rom after performing full wipe/cache/dalvik and format system.
The rom installs fine but I'm getting random reboots and occasionally it shuts down.
No apps are force closing and it never does it while I'm using it, but can often do it only a few minutes after I set it down beside me as I hear the Samsung boot noise and look down to see it booting.
I've never looked at a logcat so not sure what to look at.
To try to resolve it I've reflashed, and flashed full/small/extreme all with the same problem.
I'm going to try Paranoid Android Unofficial now while I'm waiting for N8010XXALGC_N8010BTUALG7_BTU.zip to come down from Hotfile. Then I'll try going back to stock to see if I have any issues.
Are you having M8010/N8013?
then you need to change CPU governor to "Ondemand", this should solve the problem.

Yes its a known bug, i also had it with Cyanogenmod, if you'll have it with Paranoid, try change governor.

Scaling equals the governor.
It is known that on all wifi devices you MUST use the ondemand governor with all the roms made for N8000 else you'll get random reboots.
No problems at all when you switch to ondemand (standard is pegasusq).

Hey guys,
I just bought a brand new Nexus 4 from Google Play and I rooted it first with AOKP but now I'm on CyanogenMod. Within a couple of days my keyboard started to become so laggy that it just crashes while I'm texting or writing an email. I switched ROMs and I installed kernels to see if anything helps but after a few hours it gets back to the same problem.
I don't know if I should unroot it and go back to stock. Or what I should do because this is extremely annoying.
Any sort of help would be appreciated
Thanks!

Could it possibly be with anything else you install? I've never had a laggy keyboard before. Are you using the keyboard that comes with the rom or installing your own? I'll use either the stock keyboard or SwiftKeys.
Also do you have a large dictionary or other addons?

I just find it weird because I've had absolutely no laggy keyboard at all with my Nexus 4 (with either stock/rooted or with this SlimBean 4.2.2), using either the stock keyboard or SwiftKeys, it's a pretty powerful phone too so even swiftkeys with it's predictions shouldn't become laggy. I suspect there's something else amiss especially if you have this problem on more than one rom.

lol, root isnt the problem. unrooting it will amount to washing your cloths because your car is leaking air out of its tires. but, it can be cm. 1st, try just deleting the keyboards data in the main phone settings, app, all, then delete the keyboard apps data. if its not fixed, then boot into recovery and wipe your dalvik cache and cache. if still not fixed, try a different rom or different keyboard.

I don't know if you have read the tons of suggestions to reduce or get rid of the "lag", but here it's a summary:
1-) Activate Developers options and then set to off all the animations options
2-) Freeze/Disable the AT&T and/or Samsung Bloatware
3-) Remove the option to activate the S Voice by double clicking the Home Button, go to options on S Voice and you will see it there.
4-) If you have the Default Weather Widget, get rid of it or at least set the options to not update all the time.
5-) if you have downloaded Swiftkey, people seem to have issues with it and Weather widget combined. try using Swype (already on your phone) or Google Keyboard that was updated on the Playstore and now most can have it for free.
Maybe there are a couple of other suggestions, but the last ones, 4 and 5, seem to have affected the most. I haven't had any lag but can't say that there is no lag, as there are a lot of people that seem to have it, so it seems that it maybe some productions issues if that's the case, that is affecting some, while others don;t have it.
Custom roms would be the only way to limit the lag, as most of the devs have pretty much put a stop to it. If you stay stock you will have to wait a LONG time until they release their slow ass updates.
I am running WanamLite with NO lag so far. The above post is about all your going to get running stock.
