Flashed the new gingerstreak 2.4 ROM a couple of days ago. And what can I say, it just works.
Apart from a screen lock issue (just goes black and locks up - removal of battery required. Suspect it's a Widgetlocker issue cos it doesn't do it when I revert to stock lock screen) and a charging issue (says that my charger is faulty if I use a 3m USB extension lead, ok if I dispense with the extension lead)
As far as I can tell. Tethering, bluetooth, wifi all work properly. (not tried VPN - don't need it, don't know how to set it up)
GPS, however is greatly improved. Now works in my lounge ( ground floor, reinforced concrete ceilings) Managed to navigate from my lounge to the toilet - journey time 6 secs. Average speed 3mph if you really wanted to know (I know how you guys love detail...)
I especially like the little text selection tab on text entry. Makes editing a breeze...
As for the much vaunted battery life. TBH I've not had enough time to evaluate. But when I can stop f****ing around with it, and revert to normal day to day operation. I'll have a clearer idea, and will post again, along with any other likes/dislikes/bugs that I find...
Incidentally, I backed up my entire SD card. Wiped it. And without any kind of back up, carried out the flashing procedure as detailed in untold places on these forums. Then manually re-installed all 130 odd apps.
Not convinced that nandroid or other backups work that well. I bit of a pain, but I think it's worth it.
I love this phone, and right now I think it's as good as anything out there ('cept maybe the SII. or the Sensation xe) And I'm not at all sorry that I upgraded to this. Can't be long before it loses it's beta status, surely..?

I love it ive been using it now for 4 days and never had a lock up @ all it is 1000xs faster
I switched to 2.4 from Fards 2.3 and the biggest difference seems to be that I longer get random slow downs and on 2.3 I would very rarely get a reboot a when doing heavy gaming and that its no longer the case. 2.4 feels like a perfect and stable ROM to me with no issues whatsoever as of right

2.4 is pretty much close to a RC.

Upgraded from 2.3.3B2 and its been smooth sailing. I got the portrait lock version. Wish someone made a version with:
Portrait lock
Internationalization
Back Cover sensor disable
Google Talk from 2.3.4 (with video chat)
am getting to greedy aren't I?
Simply amazing I feel its the most stable Tom for the streak to date. Battery however still isn't great but, just like a car, if you buy a fast one youre not expecting good gas mileage. Also still needs the clocksync app.

Took the plunge myself this evening and it's mostly going well; EXTREMELY fast compared to 315!
Only bug I've found so far (and it's a biggie!) is that if I enable wi-fi, then I get an infinite crash-boot-loop. unfortunately, when I pull the battery and restart to get out of this loop, wi-fi is still enabled to the bug happens again! Took me a few tries to get in to the settings and disable wi-fi before it crashed again...
Since I disabled wi-fi it's been running like a dream!

I don't have any wifi issues besides the occasional dropped connection. Never have it cause a reboot.

Kinda wanted to throw my Streak in the trash. But after upgrading to GingerStreak 2.4 from StreakDroid 1.9, I love the device more than ever. So much smoother, faster and more reliable than before. I'm amazed really.
Haven't encountered any bugs yet. SuperUser problem was a minor blip.
IMHO anyone who says Gingerbread isn't much of an improvement over Froyo must be on crack (or just ignorant).

From what I've seen/read, it appears to be caused by the Wi-Fi sleep policy. The crash only seems to happen if you set the Wi-Fi to never sleep. Unfortunately, for me this is the only valid use of the Wi-Fi connection... what's the point if every time you turn the device on you have to reconnect to the network?
Anyway, that's the only real issue I've found so far. That and for some reason the "dimmed" buttons on widgetsoid switches are so dim they're invisible now... were fine in Froyo but I can't find a way to change it. Not really a GS issue though, just wanted to gripe

I'm using GingerStreak 2.4
But sometimes my streak boot couples of times before start up.
anyone knows why it happens?

One thing I've noticed is that Gingerstreak doesn't have the funky CRT-style sleep animation when pressing the power button :-(
Also strangely the signal, Wi-Fi and cellular data indicators keep randomly changing between white and green...
otherwise it's great! ;-)
Solved my locking up. Set wifi to always on, instead of off with screen, widgetlocker works just fine.....

Holy cow! GS 2.4 is flawless so far! Have yet to notice a single glitch. Smoothest ROM yet for streak. Animations don't hang at all, like they invariably did with ANY version of FroYo.

easy response to that is ALWAYS follow instructions. If it says to install a baseband, it's propably for a good reason so best to do it!
Flash the dsp file with fastboot.
Is this in beta still? I do not see the usual introduction and download links.
Hi all, had my nexus 10 since the opening sale on the google play store. Recently I've been having issues with it restarting randomly, in some cases when it has just been sitting on my desk without any input.
I've also had a few problems with the wifi as well as a creaky backplate. I see the backplate issue is common with most who have the device but was wondering if the WiFi issue could be the reason my device keeps restarting? I'm at the point now where I may have to send it back.

The quick and easy fix that worked for me was to disable all location settings. It did the trick and it should for you as well. Hope that helps.

I'd be willing to bet it was rebooting the whole time and you didn't notice. Turning off the location services is hit and miss. Some say it cures it (after an unspecified amount of time usually) but others like me still see reboots.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
I just started getting the reboot error except I was able to isolate the problem to a lost wifi signal. With chrome reloading a couple pages, turn off my wifi router and the nexus 10 will freeze. It won't respond to any input and will just set for about a minute until it finally reboots on its own.
Only time ever I have had the freeze/reboot error is when I went into an area that lost the signal. Seems like chrome/nexus 10 does not know how to handle the lost signal and tries to correct it with a hardware reboot. Happens at both 2.4 and 5ghz.
Hopefully be corrected in the next software upgrade.

I only have issues if the AP in the router is set to use a 40Mhz channel bandwidth. If I set it to 20Mhz, I can enjoy stable wifi goodness. It took me 2 RMA'd Nex 10s and testing with 3 different routers to come to this conclusion, but this was the workaround that succeeded for me.

I have actually noticed a difference on the different routers so I'll pay a bit more attention to this and see if my device reflects the same results.
I'm in the same situation. I will be reviewing my 4th replacement unit. I will keep replacing it until it works like it's suppose to.

+1. Same process worked wonders for my N10.
I know random reboots is common with 4.2 but is it possible it's hardware related or something else? Reason being, I get alot of random reboots on the PUB AOKP rom, that just about all other users of that rom say they have zero random reboots, and I also get reboots while in TWRP, which I have reinstalled multiple times.

Its just so ludicrously awful to need to replace default apps and turn off features to have a usable tablet. Not so much for us because we will root and fix things ourselves but if a random person goes into best buy and buys a nexus 7 or 10 they will have a bad experience. All the people who say android is buggy...this is why. Its unfortunate how broken 4.2 is.

Since you set your router to 20 MHz has it continued to work without rebooting? Also do have geo location enabled ? Thanks
Mine also random reboot and hang. When fix will be out! This is crazy for v4.2 or v4.2.1
Android please release fixed as soon as possible.
Any kernel or ROM solving this issue now? Or all same?
Root is the answer

Ya, I was at CM 10.1 now, it was much better, especially when removed and not using Chrome. By the way CM 10.1 stock browser was much better and smooth.
Android must fix it!
Hate to say it but this is what a nexus user does lol bug reporting I'm sure Google are keeping an eye out on this topic loll, mine reboots when updating apps from the play store. I'll post a video on youtube when I get a chance.

Yeah I'm on a custom ROM with linaro optimizations and its fantastic. Slapped in ktmanta kernel and now just full of win. Aosp browser is better than chrome anyway. It's a sad state of affairs when community work is better than Google's but at least we can enjoy alternatives.

I have a hunch that the CPU isn't getting enough power. I've currently upped the voltage by 25V so I'm going to see if that does anything. Using CleanROM definitely did reduce it though.

I am fed up with this thing. I have so many issues with it, I have tried a lot of difference ROMs and get the same crap with all of them. The most annoying things are that it constantly reboots and WiFi never stays connected for more than an hour at a time. I don't even trust this tablet for any word processing or anything important. What the hell am I supposed to do with it. I am so disappointed in this tablet. I've had it since Christmas and whilw the build is great and the screen is awesome, the WiFi and the random reboots are just rediculous for a 400 dollar tablet. My HP touchpad was more reliable than this and it even had android ported to it, and this is a Nexus device that is supposed to be top of the line. Now my question is, is there a ROM out that there actually fixes the WiFi or am I going to have to sell this while its still worth money and pick up the next tablet that's going to be announced at I/O
I don't know what issues your having with the WiFi, I've seen 5ghz routers have issues.
As for the reboots I'm sure they will get worked out, I do agree they are annoying, but considered to other android tablets this one is by and far the best

Thanks. I'm throwing the aokp 4.22 ROM on when in get home and I'll try that kernel. I appreciate it. As for 5ghz router I'm not sure, but it drops at my home, work and my school.
Bigxie or mrrobinsons aokp pub builds are good, no reboots or anything. Kts kernel is amazing has newest wifi drivers from google and a color tweak. This tablet has been amazing for me
xda hd - nexus 10 - KT infused Carbons - booooom!
So far so good on 4.22 aokp and ktskernel. I looked at my battery usage today and I didn't see any time with WiFi off and no reboots. Granted I used it for only about an hour before it slept all night but still. 10 hours with no drops is a great improvement. Thanks guys for giving Mr faith in this device. I was about to give up on it lol.
Glad it got fixed for you. This devices issues arent the device really its been with android 4.2.x from google.

You should return this device. You keeping this device when it's this faulty is like rewarding Google and Samsung for making a defect product. I love Android, but I took my N10 back and got an iPad 4 and it's functionally the same as the N10 and, here's the most important part, not defective. If you really love Android, you'll take this tablet back and get something else and vote with your money.

There is no definite blame on the issues. If it was bugs with 4.2, then I wouldn't have a 100% stable WiFi connection at all times and would be having random reboots (my WiFI connection is 100% stable from what I've seen, and I can't recall any random reboots on 4.2, and very few prior to it). This was with stock also.
I'll either say it's an issue with some 3rd-party app(s), or hardware.
The hardware is not at fault if his connection works perfectly now is all im saying. Faulty wifi card would be faulty no matter what. Roms dont make hardware work better i never had random reboots or wifi issues either so i dont know but i know others' issues were solved by switching. Apps? Yeah could be.

How does having an Android blog contradict Google making a defective Android product (this was absolutely the case with my N10). It's like saying because I like hamburgers that I should love eating a ****ty hamburger. Functionally, you can do the same stuff with both of these tablets. That's not really the issue at hand though.

There's just so many factors that no one is talking about or thinking about:
-What if there are problems with wifi drivers/subsystem, then everyone's different access points are going to give different results
-What if there is a difference between starting with 4.2.2 as opposed to going to it from OTA
-What if there is a physical problem that only happens if you hold it a certain way
-What if there is a problem that manifests its self differently depending on peoples charge habbits
-What if letting the screen sleep is different than pushing the power button to sleep it
-What if there is a DRM issue that is dependent upon certain titles in a persons Play library
-What if there is a GPS issue that is caused by certain towers
-What if Maps has a flaw that loads only when you are physically close to a certain area
-What is the technical definition of "crash" when one of us end users reports "crash"
These are just some examples off the top of my head. I think the community has focused too much on "3rd party app" in general. Perhaps it would be worthwhile for everyone to get more oranized in the troubleshooting? I see a lot of complaining but not tons of people talking about their test actions. (Yes, this should be Googles job, but absent that...)

The big issue here is that there should not be so many problems with android 4.2, or if there were not for four months. I would have been fine with my nexus 10 if Google fixed the horrific stability issues within a month and a half but its been over four since I got my tablet.
I'm right there with you TC. This tablet blows to me. I don't care if iOS has less functionality, there were no random reboots, the color accuracy, brightness and contrast ratios were much better with zero backlight bleeding, blacks were much deeper and richer, twice the battery life, no slowdowns, no lag and had actual good accessory support.
I have tried just about every rom/kernel combination on here with no end to the problems. I've gotten it replaced three times. Terrible experience, and will likely not buy another Nexus device again.
I was in this expecting a comparable experience to the GSIII I had when I bought this tablet (I now use a Note 2) and I was utterly disappointed.

And honestly I'm not sure what is causing the issues. Some people have them and some don't. Most people a ROM/kernel fixes everything for a few it doesn't. As for people saying they've had three or four defective devices is pretty bullish. I just know how hardware works and if the hardware is bad it stays bad most likely you're right its not 4.2 per say but more likely the Google/Samsung blobs for the n10 which include display and wifi.

Well I figured I'd come back here. I swapped ROMs for a 4.2.2 build as well as installing minimal apps for now and also installed the kts kernel. I have not had a reboot yet *fingers crossed*, but like I said I have not been using the tablet as intensively as before. The WiFi seems stronger as well. I think part of the problem is my home WiFi has its own issues, but it is discouraging when my phone is sitting next to me and has 3 bars and my tab is fighting for 2. Maybe the WiFi adapter in the n10 is just inferior to that of the galaxy s3 and I am expecting too much.
All in all though, anyone having reboot issues, definitely get on a 4.2.2 build and flash the kts kernel. Thanks everyone for the help!

I would change router settings if you haven't already, more specifically the channel. Might have an effect on signal. The WiFi signal on my N10 is pretty awesome, compared to other devices I have anyway.

Yeah, I will say, from all the problems I have on the Nexus 10, wifi is not one of them. It connects and stays connected even better than my iPad 3 did. Its the stability things that bother me so much.

Edited 2/11/2014. I am running Sprint ZVA, stock. Removed "sprint variant" from title due to a tmobile report as well of same issue.
Have found a problem with my G2 that only seems to occur when running miracast. I recently purchased the tronsmart t1000 to miracast from my G2 5o my Sony bravia tv. Now the tronsmart runs the Ezcast app available from the Google play store.
When activating miracast you use the ezcast app. However once connected you can exit from the app. It does not run in the background. The miracast service is on, wifi remains on but the phone data connection is what is being used. Everything is fine but when I run a video app be it Netflix, crackle, or any other my phone (via battery monitor) reaches 48°C within about 10-15 minutes of streaming. Video performance begins to suffer at that point and lags, stutters, etc.
I have disabled every background service I can think of. No syncs, no gps or location services on. I am running stock zv9, bebloated (frozen via titanium), rooted. I had the same issue on zv8. I have also used the screen off app to eliminate extra heat from the screen being on during casting.
I will note that I had this same problem before I even rooted my phone and debloated it on the stock zv8 rom.
I have contacted the ezcast folks in china but they say their tests with G2 do not overheat although they cant test netflix and the like because of being in a different country. I contacted netflix to see if I could report the problem and they acted like useless tools. One rep even told me that LG writes the netflix app so I need to report it to LG... lmao.
So, Im turning to xda to see if maybe others have this problem or know of a fix. Im glad to provide what info I can if it hasnt already been covered. In my research Ive found the thermal throttling doesnt kick in and sut down the phone till about 55°c or so. Im certain the phone is getting close enuff to 50°c that I need to be concerned about long term damage to my G2 if this continues.
Ill add that even during dlna streaming the phone is getting hot but not as bad as miracasting. The phone also gets up around 45°c when using a slimport. I really would like to figure this out. I do have best buy return coverage for my phone but would like to avoid swapping it and having to pay $150 to do so.
Does anyone have this problem or know how to correct it?
Well if it's the CPU then don't worry that much. 55 degrees is a safe operating temperature. If it's the battery temperature then you're ****ed, so I'm quite sure it's the CPU temperature .
You don't really have many options other than cooling down your phone while miracasting using a fan or whatever you have avaliable. As for the lagging/stuttering it's because the phone starts throttling down in order to avoid very high temperatures. If you cool down your phone, the lag would go away but you can also disable thermal throttling from the hidden menu (which will cause your CPU temperature to skyrocket).

Im using batt monitor widget. It said 50°c last night on a second go around with absolutely every background service stopped. If I was to disable that throttle via hidden menu, then my phone would surely fry. So I appreciate the idea, and read that whole thread before I posted here, but its probably not adviseable for my situation to let the phone get hotter than it is now.
Edit on my first post. I did mean Im on ZVA now, not zv9. It was a late night last night. lol.
Well I wrote to LG tech support outlining my issue. Havent heard back. I did try to run my wife's htc one with my miracast setup. While streaming her netflix via miracast the phone reached 40°C and was stuttering a bit, but it didnt get any hotter. I let her htc one cool down and launced crackle, and hulu plus and her phone never went over 37.9°C.
Leads me to believe that this is caused by a couple of factors. Maybe something in the netflix app in combination with the G2's miracast functionality. All I know is that netflix streams hotter, but other video apps run almost as hot on my G2.
I could really use some advice from a battery or cpu guru cause Im at a loss here.

Since you're rooted why don't you throw a kernel with kernel tuner and knock the processor clock speed down while you're streaming. I know you shouldn't have to, but you may need to. Running it at say 1.2 - 1.5 ghz should still run fine and keep it cooler.

I could certainly try but Ive never implemented anything like that before. Not quite sure I have enough knowledge. Is there a resource in plain english that a beginner on that road would understand?
Id rather not have to go that route. I usually stick mostly to stock except for a few tweaks here and there. Im not opposed to learning tho.
Im suprised Im the only one this is happening to. There must be others miracasting netflix and such. I was hoping for a simple fix. I dont think Ill have such luck.
I miracast to my vizio stock(only rooted) to stock (tv), no third party hardware or software, no high heat...

Thanks steamer. Im really starting to think Im alone here. Guess Ill have to figure out if it software related. My project in a few days will likely be running a .tot. Heard back from LG. They suggest sending phone in for warranty repair. However I do have geeksquad coverage thru best buy so I may go that route. If it still overheats after reverting back to factory stock then I know its hardware related and will be able to hand my phone over for warranty.
I did get my phone the day it came out. Maybe I got a lemon.
Can I get some opinions/thoughts on wether the furnace kernel by savoca or dorimanx kernel would possibly help my situation or make it worse?
This happened to me on my t mobile g2 the first hour I powered it on it was roasting my hand but when I went to settings and viewed what's draining the battery it was Bloatwear. So I rooted and used titanium backup to defeat them. A neat app to view what's running is memory booster then I Google search safe Bloatwear to delete and if it's OK I get rid of it. My T-Mobile g2 got glitch tho but when I got the d802 international version with no T-Mobile Bloatwear it didn't heat up at all

Thanks, but Ive been there already. I use titanium and have froze all the bloatware. It makes no difference. I think im gonna try a .tot. I cant seem to get much help on this.
Well another update, kinda feel like Im talking to myself here... lol.
Restored to factory zv7 by doing a .tot and stayed unrooted without making any modifications. Pure Sprint G2. Downloaded the ezcast app and netflix only. Tried to miracast and phone still overheated. So now I know its gotta be either the ezcast software for the tronsmart dongle, netflix app, some kind of wifi bug, or a hardware issue.
Gonna leave the phone as is and head to bestbuy tomorrow and see about a warranty replacement. Only thing I can think of is I got one of those G2 that had thermal issues on release day. I know I heard more than a few reports back then but didnt think I had a problem. Not till now anyways.
If anyone has any other ideas tho please chime in. Ill update again if I get a new G2. We shall see.

You aren't alone!! I just purchased a G2 from T Mobile last week & had exactly the same problem. I am using a Netgear P2TV3000 receiver. I've found that the phone heats up while connected via Miracast if I'm using other apps, just not as bad as it does w/ Netflix. I emailed LG about the problem & they said it was not a known issue & suggested taking it back to T Mobile. I did that yesterday & they gave me a new one. I took it home & tested it out...same problem. So I've given up & will be taking it back to return it for a completely different phone, probably a Galaxy S4. I'm really disappointed bec I really liked this phone. But Miracast not working properly is a deal-breaker for me.
Glad to see Im not alone and its not just a sprint variant issue. Thanks for your post. Actually at best buy now and they are still deciding what 5o so. Their cell expert hasnt got a clue either. Everything he thought of I was like... been there done that.
Edit: That was a useless exercise in futility. Bestbuy said their service center would likely send the phone back to me.saying that this overheating is within normal operation.... HOW? Cause their people will not take the the time to actually test the miracasting. So Im stuck dealing with LG and a warranty replacement, if they will even do anything.
Please, anyone with miracast dongles... would you check and see if you can recreate my problem? Simply stream netflix via miracast via your mobile connection. Not wifi. Thanks if you are willing to test. Within about 15-20 mins you should see your temp spike. 30 mins in you will be near 48-50°c.
Id like to see if this is a more common issue.

What version of Android are you running? Both phones I've had this problem with were running 4.2.2. I've talked to several people who have no problems like this but they're running 4.3. It makes me think 4.2.2 is the culprit. Tell me you're running 4.2.2!

Well stock lg g2 is 4.2.2 so yes.
Mine got hot enough charging + miracast netflix that it began to heavily stutter and slow to a complete stop. I didn't realize how hot it was until I picked it up to close netflix. It was throttling enough that I had to restart the phone just to do anything.
Thats pretty much the exact behavior I have seen. Did you happen to check the battery temp? Which carrier are you on?

Unfortunately I didn't get to check them. By then, my phone was lagging so bad, all I could do was restart. By the time it restarted and I got a battery temp monitor downloaded, it was at 44. I'm on AT&T. Stock rooted rom.

Were you using a dongle as well? Seems casting from phone to a device like a tv with miracast built in may not cause issues but Im not certain of that yet.
Im wondering if the impending kit kat update will eliminate this problem. I have a repair auth from LG right now, but Ive been holding off sending my phone in. LG says this is not a known issue. Id advise anyone that does have this overheating issue though to report it to LG.
Hi to all. I got the Bolt during the 50% off deal online with Sprint. I jumped from the HTC One M9. I really love the Bolt, but I got 2 concerns at the moment. First, I think the phone is overheating (more that it should considering the SD810 i think). It gets too hot to the touch on the back during regular use (FB, instragram, ocassional taking of pictures, web browsing and maybe playing a game). with temps up to 109 °F and 110 °F. Sometimes it gets hot playing music using the included USB type C headphones. Secondly, I can't get LTE internet speeds faster than 1 - 2 MBPs for download while getting upload speeds of 2-3 MBPs. I tried PRL Updates, Profile Updates in different zones and soft resets of the phone with no luck. I tried also looking for a solution online and even at sprint.com but I couldn't find any claims of the same issues I'm having. Maybe those temps are normal? But i'm pretty sure the internet should run faster. Any ideas that could help? Wanted to try here before taking it to repairs for diagnostics, because I hate the process of setting up the phone from factory settings, specially without root and titanium backup in case the unit is deffective.
Thanks in advance

I haven't seen any heat issues though the 810 is known for running hot. Could be something running in the background. This phone comes with so much effen bloat it's ridiculous! Rooting and/custom rom will help with that :good:
Have you checked what band your on? Speeds good here...

Holly s. @OMJ. That LTE is fast lol. I'm in a limited area so I get 1-2mbps on LTE peak. 12mb non peak.
Got a few CA towers within 30min of me. 100mbps plus and it's super fast.
Thanks for the reply. Seriously considering rooting. Kinda rusty here, my last rooted phone was the M8. What band I should be in? I'm getting the information included in attachment.

Just depends on the tower, band 25 is their 1900 mhz band which is slower than band 41 which is 2500 mhz. Sounds like that tower is need of an upgrade...

So there may be nothing wrong with my phone. Just that is loaded with a lot of bloatware and that the cell towers near me are old. Thanks. Think I'll try rooting and removing all non needed crap and hopefully that fixes the heating prob. :fingers-crossed:

This is my first HTC so not sure if it's normal, but I have noticed it get extremely hot. I can't imagine heavy use and during the summer. I wonder if this is normal or they would eventually recall the product. Lol not trying to sound like a pansy, but it feels really uncomfortable on my hands and inside my pocket when it gets hot. I have noticed it cool down when i go under the developer option and max out the cpu. I may root and debloat to see if it helps. Also I've noticed my internet speed on wifi is laggy, however while on LTE it's much faster.
Slow htc bolt

In your opinion did I make a good choice going with htc bolt or should I had gone with the lg v20. I always been an android guy and i miss the Samsung notes. And I wanted to thank everyone on this site I learned everything about phones from here rooting and all. I would like to root this phone but been out of the rooting game a few months . last time I rooted I was using odin, will it still be like that any info would be appreciated.

I'm a huge HTC fanboy, I have never owned anything but HTC. I've never been immpressed by LG or Samsung. Rooting is easy on HTC I know much easier than Samsung.
Any updates on this? Mine overheats from time to time as well. Also locks up and lags. I disabled apps and am running only the essentials. I guess I'll see how that works.

Mine gets warm but my problem is the lagging. It specifically shows up when you pan the camera around, it takes seconds for the phone to catch up to the new view plus the camera seems to be constantly trying to focus. On phone videos and crackle are very choppy - unwatchable. phone still seems to work ok, internet speeds are good, apps run and udpate.
Very frustrating as i have always liked the HTC product.
I followed the BadBoyz ROM for some time and at last this sunday decided to jump in the wagon hehehe. Took me a while to decide to finally install a custom ROM but here I am. Everything now seems so smooth and without any lag. The phone doesn't heat up as it used to when I posted this thread looking for recommendations. The internet speeds the blame is on Sprint here in PR. I flashed the MAGISK Root version of the Bad Boyz 2.0 ROM clean and no complains at the moment. Still need to test it some more, but I doubt performance will change. I'm an HTC fanboy myself and always installed custom ROMs on all my HTCs and I have to say that this is in my opinion the most stable I tried. I don't know whay I waited so long to flash a custom ROM; maybe I'm getting old hehe

I too tried the Bad boyz ROM but with no luck. I factory reset my phone many times and tried all stock firmware from .11, .15, .22 and the newest as well. The lag won't go away. Cannot take videos at all because the camera wont keep up. Cannot play video, too choppy and keyboard is slow for texts, etc. I went back to s-on and locked with all factory stock. I bought the protection plan and am going to send the phone in for repair. I hope I just got a lemon. It was fine for 2 months before getting progressively worse.

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully it was just a defective unit. Still very pleased at the moment with the 2.0 ROM. Overall the phone feels more cold during regular usage (haven't done any intense gaming yet). For keyboard I didn't like the TouchPal as I found it kinda buggy so I switched to SwiftKey. Also the video runs fine here. I had for some years problems with Whatsapp media lagging and even FC a lot when opening pics and videos thinking that it was an Android related problem, but apparently it turned out to be a problem on my part. I always backed up every chat and restored with every Android new phone so even when emptied media folders the problem continued. Installed without restoring chats and the problem apparently is solved. Still need to keep testing to see if any other issue arises but at the moment still works fine. Will keep testing the ROM

That is interesting. I am guilty of transferring a lot of messages. But in the end I would do a factory reset, no sd card and basic setup with no message restoration. I could tell right away if I had the same problem by opening up the camera and moving the phone around. The picture would not keep up with the phone moving. it would take a second or 2 for the phone to react to the new picture i was pointing at. Normally as you pan the camera around the picture changes with the movement. Hope yours continues to perform well
