[Q] Phone Constantly Locks - Which Service is Responsible?

I used Titanium Backup to uninstall certain packages (not before backing them up, of course) and it seems that I uninstalled too much... Whenever I start certain applications, the phone immediately blanks - and locks.
I have to press the power button 1-2 times before the screen unlock allows me to seep my finger. And it doesn't always succeed in retaining the screen: too often, it will immediately blank and lock again.
Example of applications that make the phone lock: Titanium Backup.
Example of applications that don't blank the phone: Dialer.
I started restoring some of the packages I uninstalled yesterday with the hope that this will fix the problem. So far I tried restoring:
- hiddenmenus
- sns
- Dialer 2.2.2
-setup wizard
- syncMLsvc
But without much success yet.
Any idea which service or package are responsible for correct behavior of the phone?
UPDATE 2: I gave up and decided to flash the EC07-Nuckin-1 ROM. I repeated the entire procedure detailed here and the phone boots fine, but the problem persists - in addition to the fact that the soft menu buttons now disappeared (replaced by faint color dots - LED-like).
How could this happen? Is it possible that my phone contracted an Android virus? (it appears that the problem started immediately after installing Stay Awake from the Android Market.

OK, this is becoming insane: I did a factory reset, re-installed ec07-clean, and not only the problem persists, the settings, home, back and search buttons no longer work!
Not to mention that my account details (and everything else) are still there, even after the factory reset...
And Market won't even start.
How is this possible?
What do I do to simply start from scratch, wiping out everything and all history (except for the SD card)?

OK, but they don't respond. Even with your ec07-clean.
Is there a way to do a real factory reset? Start all over again? This problem is driving me nuts.
Thank you ciscogee, you life saver.

I'm out and about right now. In joshkoss rom thread there is a dl17 stock rom. If u flollow that second post I believe u will achieve 2. 1 stock as in out the box and flash up from there

I'm not really interested in 2.1. I just don't understand why a total re-install of ec07clean.zip + ec07.tar + update.zip won't restore everything to "brand new condition". Surely there is a way to tell the phone to "forget all history". But what is it?
In the meanwhile, I managed to make the Settings (leftmost) button work, by manually restoring SDM from Titanium Backup.
Android Market now starts. But the SCREEN OFF problem persists. I am now beginning to believe that Stay Awake actually caused a permanent damage.

i understand, but see dl17 is the latest official samsung/verizon release, so what ever you erased will be brought back. the roms that are released here are leaks/hacked so they wouldnt be 100% until tweaked

I understand that they aren't 100% and I am OK with that. All I want is bring the phone to that pristine state it was right after I upgraded it from DL17 to ec07clean.zip.
Is this possible at all?
I even tried the built in stock recovery 2e to do "factory restore". Didn't help.
Why doesn't it even delete my account information? This is weird.

I tried this at least 4 times. It doesn't get rid of anything. That's really puzzling.
In the meanwhile, I managed to restore my phone to a usable state (i.e. get rid of the original screen-off problem). Here is how I did it:
Settings > Display Settings > Power saving mode: UNCHECK (was checked)
Settings > Display Settings > Screen timeout: 1 minute (non was selected!)
I bet this was some remanent of that Stay Awake app.
Now, I lost quite a few productivity hours due to this. But at least now I know that this phone will always be mine, because in this particular phone, "Factory data reset" simply doesn't work.

Have you thought about using a different version of clockwork for flashing and wiping? That usually helps or perhaps stock recovery even

It turns out that it is the cyan wipe that doesn't work. The red wipe works.

Introduction and few comments re: ICS / rooting

Firstly, what a great forum. I have dabbled with my phone purely on what I have gleaned from here, so keep up the great work.
I have viewed for quite a time but it is a pleasure to make my first post, so go easy on me.
I am a total newbie when it comes to phones although I have a lot of experience building PCs for many years. I have an unbranded S2 (prev XEU) which I updated with ICS OTA a few days ago. I am now on LPS. I then successfully rooted using Rachmat’s work [GUIDE] ROOT/UNROOT Stock ICS Firmware without flashing unsecure kernel), which was a breeze to do (apart from initially putting it in download mode instead of recovery and wondering why I couldn’t get any further!!).
I have since installed Titanium Backup and frozen a number of apps.
I want to share some of the problems which I have experienced after updating to ICS:
- I get the wifi problem where connectivity is suddenly lost and necessitates a reboot. After a reboot the battery level dramatically drops. I checked the router (VM Superhub) and strangely it had defaulted to factory settings. I have a LAN which runs well with 2 wired PCs, 2 laptops on wifi, 2 iPod Touch and a BB Playbook – I had to set them up again after reconfiguring the router. Needless to say, the wifi problem still exists and I have to reboot the phone every now and again.
- A strange problem with my internal SD storage – before updating I had about 9gb full which included a number of videos, etc. Following the update it still showed 9gb but my videos were gone and the USB storage folder showed 0kb. Adding up what I actually had only amounted to about 4gb and I had to erase the internal SD to get my space back.
- Battery consumption is still very poor – I had not noticed any difference using ICS. I still only get about 10 hours from a full charge if I am lucky, with a moderate amount of use. I have stopped auto-sync for everything, dimmed the display as much as possible and various other tips and I hope there will be an improvement. I have started using Juice Defender again although I am not convinced on that one.
Rooting has made no difference to the wifi issue and I will reset the router and start again when I get time tomorrow.
Thanks again
Tim

I too used Rachmat's quick and easy guide on how to root & unroot ICS firmware and found it so simple and great to use. I have flashed a number of different custom ICS roms since rooting XWLP8 and my counter has not gone up at all and there is no yellow triangle. I recommend this method for anyone using ICS.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719

Did you wipe everything after updating to ICS?
About battery dropping after reboot, it's normal (at least I didn't find a fix).. I mean, it's normal that the battery indicator shows a wrong information.. if you just let your phone, you will notice the indicator going up without charge.. after reboot sometimes the battery indicator doesn't show the real battery level.
And about your battery lofe, you should be more specific.. like how many time of screen on, calls, if you are using 2G, 3G or wifi, if you are playing games or videos etc.

I had WIFI problem with the LPQ and LPS update (last saturday OTA) fixed it.

After updating to ICS I erased my internal USB data which solved the problem where my free space was reported inaccurately.
I didn't do a factory reset.
With regard to phone/battery usage, I tend to use it for browsing, email and occasionally music. Don't play many games on it, especially CPU/graphic intensive games. Very occasionally I will watch a video but not many and I fully expect the battery to discahrge quickly.
To give an example, this morning at 09:00 my battery was at 83%. It is now at 41% some 5.5hrs later. Screen is 0% display and has been during this time, all syncing is off, wifi has been on perhaps 10-15 minutes max, no GPS or bluetooth. I have browsed the web, checked emails, etc - used the phone for approximately 30 minutes in 5.5hrs. by the way, JD is showing x2.17.
Thank you

Are you with CWM recovery? If so, do a nandroid backup first and then wioe everything. Wipe data, cache and dalvik cache.. this won't affect your sd card (both internal and external), but will set the system as default, with no apps or data (such as google accounts).
When you change your system (specially in your case, when you moved from a GB to iCS rom) you should wipe everything.
Also, about battery life, only after 3/4 full cycles you will be able to see how it really is.
But since I've never used stock kernel, can't say much about it, but Abyss is being a great kernel for me.

If so, I still have it there. Do you mean go into recovery, install CWM.zip from external SD, and Nandroid backup will be an option?

Yes, you can use this CWM.zip, you will find an option for backup (there won't be mention to nandroid, so don't look for it).

Okay, just so that I get this straight...
I go into recovery
Install CWM.zip from sdcard
backup using backup/restore in recover
Wipe data/factory reset from recovery
Wipe cache partition
Where is dalvik cache? Also, will not the factory reset put me back to GB 2.3.4?
Sorry to appear dumb but I just want to get it clear in my head.
Thanks again

Dalvik is under advanced in cwm.
You will do everything under cwm, ok? Enter normal recovery, apply cwm.zip and do everything in cwm recovery.
No, it won't take you back to gb.

Sorry, just one more thing. Once I have reset/wiped using recovery do I just restart my phone and use or do I have to restore the backup?
Tim

Just reboot. The backup is just for the case of something going wrong.. the nandroid backup backs up everything.. I mean EVERYTHING.. so if you wipe everything and restore the backup it will be as if you didn't wipe anything.

I cant get this method to work despite numerous attempts. Not sure where I am going wrong.
It all appears to work okay (Superuser is in the Apps menu) but when I run Root Checker it says it is not rooted and this does appear to be true because the latest Total Recall will not work either.
Maybe someone else could try Root Checker and confirm that they are actually rooted.

Glad it worked.
I suggest you to try other kernels... but remember, when you flash other kernel, give it some time untill you make conclusions, since, as I said, 3 or 4 full charges are needed to settle things up.

All you have to do is install cwm.zip onto external SD card and install SU-Installer-Signed.zip onto your internal SD (I tried it on external but CWM didn't recognise the file). Reboot into recovery, then choose install update from SD card and install cwm.zip . Once that's installed click on install zip from SD card and install SU-Installer-Signed.zip and once that's installed just go back and reboot.
If Superuser is in your apps list then I'm fairly certain you're rooted. I did exactly what you did and was able to install custom roms, overclock and every app that needs root (Titanium Backup, Rom Manager CWM) asked for permission and it was granted. Give it another try and see how you go. :thumbup:

[Q] Updated to 4.1.2. -> my unit is acting crazy

Hello all,
I have updated yesterday to 4.1.2 (using the nakasi JRO03D file flashed via CWM)
Initially all went well (although I get consistently a weird message when booting up: something about office suite stopping unexpectedly), but when I tried to use moonreader this morning my unit crashed. Then I experimented a bit more - as a result the unit froze completely and did not come back to life until I plugged the USB cable in (battery level is 40%)
Various apps are also crashing (office suite for example does not work any more).
Anyone else having problems after 4.1.2. install? Is there a fix?
Please advise...

Fix would probably be a complete wipe. Possibly a Fix Permissions if you are rooted.

Wipe data/factory reset

Reboot
You will lose all of your apps and data, so I recommend using something like ROM toolbox to backup your apps.

For future references would be nice if you post your rom and kernel (or stocked). I guess =D

I havent seen any issues with this.
Did you use the normal release from Google?
Or a 4.1.2 from a User compiled update?
I also have Officesuite and it didn't come up with any errors, although I didn't open any of my apps as I have to rush the install then run to college
I only tested the homescreen rotate HAHA !

I think it was the normal release - it looks like everybody else was using the same file. I have removed officesuite and I still have random complete freezes. So maybe it was not office suite...
After playing a bit more (trying to do backup of the installed apps etc.) - now the unit prompts me for a password to decrypt my storage (during boot). I have not seen that before (and I do not have installed a password.). So I think all I can do is a complete wipe and start from scratch...
Not sure what went wrong...
Will do factory wipe tonite to see what happens.

Running out of storage space, but totals are wrong!

I updated my Nexus 4 to LMY 48T yesterday and noticed that my storage space is all screwed up. The totals of all my storage come to about 5GB total according to all the internal storage added up. So I am somehow missing approx 8GB of storage space that is not accounted for. I downgraded to LMY 48M to see if the new update had a bug. Nothing!! Somehow my phone has burned 8GB of space. How do I get this back to what it is supposed to read.??? I tried wiping the cache partition, no good. I am fresh out of ideas.

This is a common issue you need to reflash the factory images and it will be fixed.

Not only did I reflash the same factory image 3 times I even rolled back to an earlier image. It still says I only have 1 . 2GB of storage space available, but when you total up everything you come to maybe 4 or 5 GB used and there is 8 GB missing. I used Wugs Toolkit to root and flash images. The only thing I haven't done is to do a complete factory reset.

The art of the search set aside, are you directing me to do a factory reset, period to get my storage space back, because I am trying to avoid a total factory reset at all costs. I was using Wugs Toolkit to flash the updates using the "No Wipe" mode. Maybe it won't work without doing the complete factory reset, but as I said I was trying to get my space back without using the most drastic measures. I booted into recovery and used the cache partition wipe hoping that might work, not to mention using GOOGLE to look up about 25 methods that all said the same thing, some easy some a little more complex, but they all come back to a " Complete Factory Reset" . Anyway, unless I'm not reading your post right thanks for your thoughts.

I linked you there because that is THE option...there is no alternative. Copy your files, run a nandroid and copy it to your computer, then settle in for a factory reset.
I have to do it every single time I flash an Ubuntu or Mozilla rom, and even some factory images. I've been doing it for a LONG TIME...trust me when I tell you this: there is no alternative.
There is one good piece of news, though...when you restore that nandroid your storage will be right, as long as you follow the guide correctly
Also, factory reset from stock recovery isn't 100%....erasing every single partition and reflashing from fastboot is.

Samsung Galaxy Core Prime too laggy

please anyone help
every time i flashing a rom it going to be too laggy even after a full wipe !
even after changing the recovery the proplem not resolved !!

No solutions. All of us have this lag problem. Maybe it has something to do with our device from production.

Try wiping the whole device 3-4 times without -rf option enabled. It works. If it isn't working the use dreamstar's recovery and wipe the device

me too have the lag issue now

You have to format data buddy. Instead of going to advanced wipe choose "wipe data"
Then flash Stock and then you can flash any rom afterwards. No lags guaranteed

And format data for 2-3 times and format system for 20+ times???.. keep a stopwatch and measure the time it takes to finish one wipe of system. once all the **** is removed it should be like 10mins some said that it goes like 14mins.. easiest way is wipe for more than 20 times and reflash ROM download A1 SD bench app. Do a benchmark of internal storage. If Write speed is 20MB/s or more then your problem is fixed if not go back to wiping ???

One of the easiest solution
Hello Everyone,
As all of us (G360H users) know, no matter what we do, lagness comes back after few days of smoothness. I am going to share what I do as a fix.
After flashing any ROM cleanly, lagness bothers after few days. So what to do?
>After you feel your phone is lagging, restart your phone to Recovery (TWRP 3.0.0 and above)
>Backup your system only (to internal storage or SD card doesn't matter, it's normally 600 to 700 MB)
>After Backup is completed, go to wipe section and then advanced wipe then wipe only system (at least 4 times without -rf option enabled, wiping takes some time)
>After wiping system few times, restore the system Backup from 2nd step, once completed restart your phone to system.
>Smoothness can be felt again but it's gonna come back again after few days (normally in around 15 days) REPEAT above steps again.
There's nothing new but this saves time in backing up and wiping up everything or the hassle of setting up a newly installed ROM. All your installed apps and data will stay safe and as they were.
Regards,
S

Well you just have to do that for a little longer . When we use a storage we write and delete data continuously.. So our eMMC acts like a SSD when we write data they store in blocks and when we delete them usually the indexes are deleted ad data remains. so when we write something again those data in blocks are replaced by new data. So when lot of I/O precesses are going on it eventually remains filled blocks and they acts like fragments in HHDs, o remove them we need the process called trimming. Due to our eMMC's bug that wouldn't finish completely. So we have to wipe the storage manually until all blocks are completely wiped out and clean. Unless R/W speed will get low like 8mbps and that causes lags. Be patient and wipe until it's all gone
