After a recent Nandroid restore (to Malladus 1.1.7 ROM)...
Now, in the Settings>WiFi menu my VZN G2 shows "searching" every 4 seconds, even though i am already connected. This happens on N or G. Is it normal to search at such a frequent rate? I'd think that would be a battery killer.

I used to run samsung's 4.2, it ran fine. later I ran some hacked google 4.3, it ran fine too.
after that I tried 4.4.1, and after many trials and tribulations managed to get it to work, with functional wifi and phone. Not sure if I get LTE, never saw the appropriate letter on the signal bar, but then again I can't vouch for LTE network where I live anyway.
but... started getting random lockups/reboots. typically once or twice a day, when phone is idle. I only notice those as I get a notification from startup manager than boot took NN seconds. twice witnessed this first-hand. once while fiddling with the phone, another time during a call.
screen, button backlight, notification etc all go blank, phone stops responding to any buttons. stays like that for half a minute or a minute. after that responds to voldown-power-home hold force reset and possibly a little later to power button hole power on. if left unattentded boots up after a while too.
a possible hint to what's going on, camera freezes sometimes, when it does other apps, like flashlight, refuse to start claiming that dive is already used.
upgraded to janjan 4.4.2 v2.2, problem still there.
verified that I'm running recommended XXUEMKE modem.
not sure what other flashable parts are recommended. e.g. non-hlos.
can someone who runs 4.4.x on i9505 possible tell me exact versions of all the partitions?
or download said partitions and tell me e.g. md5 hashes thereof?
thanks

I'm trying to target the cause of my elongated boot time. I'm on 4.3 and unrooted. My phone has the longest startup time ever. It used to be fast and I haven't done anything out of the ordinary to have probably caused the issue. It boots normally, but then when the att logo appears, it does the little animation but then vibrates once slightly, then usually follows another slight vibrate some seconds later. This usually occurs for about 45 seconds to a minute until my lockscreen appears. I factory reset, and I tried powering off and on right after the reset. It was back to normal. However after I downloaded all my apps again and reinstated my settings, the problem reappeared. Is it simply because of the number of apps I have? I don't remember this happening before the update to 4.3. (it was great on 4.2). I thought it was because I had downloaded and used zooper widget, but I uninstalled that app and tried the booting. It was the same duration (1 minute on att screen)

So I finally got the notification that I could update my Nexus 4 to Lollipop; I was aware of some issues regarding performance/wifi etc but nothing prepared me for this;
I installed Lollipop last night and left my phone optimising its apps etc overnight. In the morning I had a couple of messages saying the launcher was not responding, I also noticed I had no wifi or mobile data connection.
I restarted and my wifi connected but the phone promptly froze and needed another reboot. After reboot it took a long time for even the 'no signal' triangle to come up and much longer for it to show any service, but still no data connection. Various apps are causing popups asking me to close, wait or report. Normally it won't respond to any of these options. I've not even tried to use most of the apps, such as Google Docs which has come up a few times.
Within a couple of hours all I had managed to do was let Gmail steal my emails and get a quick glance of the 'new look' (which I like).
A bit more careful handling got Spotify running for my drive to work but it froze and needed a reboot after removing the aux lead from the port.
Then it stopped responding and I left it for the day as I was working, when I came back it still said 9am on the screen. I cleared the cache via the recovery boot process, performance has improved but its still freezing and the data/mobile reception is very flaky. In 24hrs I still haven't managed to use the phone for anything except Spotify. Not even loaded a web page. Its probably had 20 restarts today.
Help!
Just done the following and there has been a marginal improvement i.e. I can actually open an app (occasionally) without freezing the phone but its still largely unresponsive and no mobile reception at all.
Go into the developer options as above. There are three options under "Drawing" in Developer Options :
-Window animation scale
-Transition animation scale
-Animator duration scale
Turn all three to 'Animation off'.
then, under the 'Apps' subheading (in developer options still), set Background Process Limit to "at most, 2 processes".
My N4 and N7 have been flying along since I did that.
Hello everyone. long time lurker first time poster,
I've had my V20 since the beginning of July, I rooted it the first week. It had been running great (stock rom) until the last 2 weeks. The first thing that i noticed was that my Google Chrome and Play store were missing from my home screen. I checked the app drawer, nothing, then went to the application manager, still could not be found. Did some quick research and found nothing helpful. I eventually went through a "battery saving" app like greenify or wakelock (I can't remember) and found the application data. I was thankfully able to go to the play store through said app and open them, which placed them back into view in my app drawer. This was a strange occurrence but brushed it off as nothing.
Fast forward to this week and more issues are arising. More apps are randomly vanishing, I only noticed because one particular app I use to disable annoying services was gone and the stock settings came back. After getting that back to block the services my phone has become very laggy. still functioning just slow at times. I also get a random vibration with no notification or prompt showing on screen. This only happens when the phone is awake. It is not a full vibration just a quick buzz, similar to a single key press with haptic feedback turned on. This happens while nothing is visably taking place on screen and no input from me. I have checked all settings I can think of, but still am stumped. The last issue is with my mobile connectivity, at random times my 4G will have no connection. I thought it was just bad reception because wifi was working fine. I confirmed it is just 4g because while i was in a small area with blocked signal it dropped to 3g and worked fine, but as soon as it switched back to 4g boom no connection. I have tried rebooting several times when these issues occurred, toggled many settings and even uninstalled several apps I thought could cause problems. I am having no luck and cannot find any common problems through my research.
TL;DR
- rooted v20 running stock rom
-random apps being removed but still installed
-4G connection issues
-random <100ms vibration
-times of bad lag
short of flashing back to original any thoughts or ideas will be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance
Factory reset to start.
Pull battery. Replace.
Hold vol down.
Press power.
HOLD powerbutton.
When LG logo shows, let go of powerbutton 1x.
ONLY 1X needed.
Re depress power, stat.
Select yes 2x.
Boots into TWRP. Factory reset.
If aboce doesnt work wipe all but external sd
Reinstall preferred ROM.
profit?
Restored a rooted G5 Plus back to stock firmware (re-locked bootloader). After restoring a number of apps the phone now freezes for 10 to 30 seconds after clearing the lock screen to access the device then every 20 to 40 minutes the same issue crops up again. Is there any way to figure out which app is the cause without going through another lenghty process of restoring to stock and reloading apps one at a time? Like a way to view some sort of log files that show which app is freezing or consuming all phone resources? Or an app that will do the same?
A few times I've had calls disconnect, listening to music freezes for short periods of time, and the System UI or what ever app is open will also freeze because of this.
And a second issue cropped up as well post restore to stock, getting a "Updating Bluetooth Context" notification that pops up briefly and disappears from time to time. Searching doesn't seem to indicate a solid root cause to this (like an app) but seems to be something some have had crop up.
