Cm12 lollipop issue (people must check)

I had updated mine yesterday to lollipop via OTA and was succesfull..
SUDDENLY THIS ARE THE ISSUES WHICH I GOT
1) HEATING ISSUE: AFTER LOLLIPOP UPDATE MY PHONE IS GETTING REALLY REALLY HOT EVEN WITH A NORMAL USE
2) BATTERY DRAINING FAST: MY BATTERY IS DRAINING LIKE HELL,ON STANDBY MY BATTERY IS DRAINING AND ITS GET TO 60 PERCENT FROM 100 PERCENT IN 1 HOUR WITHOUT USING IT..I JUST CANT BELIEVE THAT TATS WHAT THE UPDATE HAS GIVEN ME
3) SLOW CHARGING: THE CHARGE TIME HAS INCREASED NW AND IT TAKES MORE THAN 3 HOURS TO FULLY CHARGE, WHILE ON KITKAT IT USE TO CHARGE IN LESS THAN 3 HOURS (ALSO GETTTING VERY VERY HOT WHILE CHARGING)
4) LAGGY: NOW IT HAS ALSO BECOME LAGGY EVEN AFTER ONE DAY SOME APPS TAKES TIME TO OPEN, EVEN SETTINGS TAKES SOME TIME TO OPEN
HAVE FOUND ALL THIS BIG ISSUES IN LOLLIPOP CANT BELIEVE THAT THIS IS HAPPENING
CONCLUSION:
SO YUREKA THIS IS WHAT YOU HAD GIVEN US. AFTER KEEPING US WAIT FOR SUCH A LONG TIME YOU HAD GIVEN US JUST ISSUE AND NOTHING ELSE
I JUST CANT BELIEVE THAT THIS IS HAPPENING.I OWN A CANVAS A1 AND IT IS ON LOLLIPO 5.1 AND WORKING REALLY FINE
BUT YUREKA IS NOT ON 5.1 RATHER THAN 5.0.2 AND REALLY MAKE US UNHAPPY
I AM REALLY REALLY REALLY DISAPPOINTED WITH YUREKA AND WILL RECOMMEND OTHERS TO NOT TO UPDATE TO LOLLIPOP AS WELL AS ALSO LET MY RELATIVES AND FRIENDS KNOW THAT TO NOT BUY YUREKA EVER
IF MY ISSUE IS NOT SOLVED THAN WILL TAKE SEVERE ACTION AGAINST YUREKA

Well I am not facing any of the above issues man ... It may be to some users only ... Try to find the solution instead of blaming

i will blame
because mine other devices are on lollipop and working fine and this **** has given me issues so thats the reason i am blaming
if you are happy then its ur reasn nt mine
on kitkat i was really happy i am only blaming after updating and facing these issues

i am also satisfied with the new update.... volume level increased .... heating down than before... only problem is the reboot....
i don't know why all guys are blaming the phone ... if you guys ate so good at this tweaking rooting and all other things why can't you use a custom ROM ...
if my reboot issue is not fixed in the next update i I'll go for a custom rom ...
rather than that yu yureka is a nice phone....

You can try the following steps for your problems.
First root your phone. There are posts here on XDA and YU forums also mentioning the right way to do it.
Then install Greenify to hibernate the apps.
Download trickstermod app from play store. In the general section of the app set min value as 200000 and max 1497600
Save and apply the frequency lock. Save again. Go to specific section of the app and apply both the settings I.e, temperatures and zram.
Apply the settings and see if it helps.
As for the charging time, the fast charge is to be implemented into the kernel . so wait for our developers to create a 64 bit CM12 kernel.
Hope this helps you

And third step install better battery stats, which helps to find wake locks. Find it and disable the service which keeps the device awake through 'disable service' app.

1st of all i updated my yureka to lollipop officially and through cwm, so i can't say much. However the heating issue rather wasn't much of a problem as it happened to me once or twice in a day after heavy usage for the entire day(yes i am addicted to my phone ). Battery as you have said is draining indeed too but i think you're battery is the problem, i can use from 100% to 16% in 7 hrs. Slow charging is indeed a problem. However for both kitkat and lollipop it takes the same time for me more or less. Continuing the lollipop update is giving me no lag as of now whatsoever. Yes far more improvements are required, but blaming i doubt will solve anything.

CM11 is 32-bit
CM12 is 64-bit
Bottomline: Rollback is not possible.
DON'T TRY FLASHING CYANOGENMOD 11, YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE!

are you update manually or by OTA???

I am also facing exact same issues (100% exact) as mentioned by the OP.
My phone was working very well on KitKat but now having issues
So, we do not have option to go back to CM11

Working fine
My yureka is working fine after update, sometime only 2% battery drain after whole night. Alway wipe cache and dalvik after flashing any update and restrict background processes to 2 processes at a time instead of standrad limit.

No.
You shifted from a 32-bit CM11S version to a 64-bit CM12S version.
Moreover, you shifted from Dalvik to ART.
Go to recovery, do a wipe [Dalvik cache and cache]
Reboot. Optimise the apps.
Reboot again [just to be sure]
WAIT for a while.
And all the problems will be gone. I know cause the lags and heating issues were there for me too and a wipe fixed it for me.
EDIT: I AM NOT CONSIDERING THE CHARGING TIME, SINCE I HAVE A FASTCHARGE ENABLED KERNEL.

Sorry about the first line. I don't mean to be rude.
And no, the cache isn't cleared properly. And OTA updates are almost similar to dirty flashes.
Dalvik cache is automatically cleared [cache, not necesasrily] during update for complete app optimization for ART. Otherwise heating, lags, and longer boot-up times WILL be experienced.

WILL can be replaced with MAY. For instance, I myself forget to clear Cache after applying OTA on Yureka but everything worked Great, as it did for many. For some, It may not have worked it seems.
But, Clearing caches isn't always for Good. A Month ago, I wanted to help a friend with Karbonn "Android one" phone, to update from Kitkat to Lollipop via Offical OTA. What I did was sideload OTA .zip file and then cleared the caches. Everything seemed Okay after optimizing apps dialogue, but something -ve happened due to that. Clearing caches cleared phones IMEI no, phone serial no, etc prevented me to connect to WiFi or 2g/3g towers. Wiping User data solved things, but still that extra one step cost-ed me lot of frustration and time. (Just wanted to share my experience.. )

A5 2016 - huge RAM usage and system-wide crashes

Hi.
So, I bought a Galaxy A5 2016 as my new daily driver. What a beautiful phone, really. Pretty fast, better than I expected, I must say. But things are not going so well.
I have a intense usage pattern. On the morning, I use Spotify (sth like 20-30 min), then e-mail sync through the day (every 5m) + browsing and messaging apps. Then, more 40m of Spotify. Everything seems in pair with other devices with similar price and hardware specs. Until today.
As my usage pattern reports, I always use Spotify for 20-30 mins every morning. Today, I was using it, and the song suddenly stopped. As a coincidence, my 3G connection is limited - so it's not operating on its normal speed, which roams about 3Mbps~5Mbps - so I thought that the connection was dropped. When I pressed the HOME button, nothing happened. The song suddenly stopped, along with the system. 10 seconds later, the song returned to play. Less than 5 minutes later, the same bug happened again - same MO. 10 seconds off, returns, didn't happen again. Tested Spotify on the afternoon (same conditions + SAMSUNG personal music player running together), didn't happen too.
Along with that, my RAM usage is pretty high. Besides my downloaded applications, the RAM is mostly consumed by the system itself - so maybe root will fix it. But I'd like to know if anyone ran into this abnormal RAM usage. I even thought about memory leak, but that seems a bit odd, since the memory leak stopped being reported in Android 5.1.
Has anyone ran into any of this issues before? Thanks in advance.

I have it for two days now, yup, ram is at least 80% when I clean up the memory.
It's also pretty hot during the lightest use, average temperature is 35C. When idle it's at least 28C. Anyway, glass backpanel feels really hot, is it normal?
What's your average temperature?

I also want to report that i have the same problem on my A510F on MM 6.0.1 (no root). I have disabled many apps like Skype, S-voice, all the microsoft apps and some system apps that could be disabled but pretty much nothing changed... My ram usage is always around 70%, if i clean it it goes down to 55%-60% but then it gets full again. This does have an impact on the overall performance since on heavy games and generally heavy usage, the phone lags and gets hot. I want to know if ROOTING the device and installing xposed modules and/or uninstalling much of the samsung crap will help the phone breath normally. Any answer or tip is welcome

I have at least 70% of RAM usage and i think it is ok... but there ia a problem over 85-90%: then I have almost same problem as you. It's my second A5 16 and still have this problem. I don't know what to do. This issue happens increasingly. I have 5.1.1 and still hope for removing this problem with marshmallow update.
Anyone more has this problem?
Any ideas what to do?
It makes this phone useless when happens so often![emoji35]

Same problems on MM too, 70-85% RAM usage...hope to solve in feature updates.
Sent from my SM-T560 using XDA-Developers mobile app

I don't see anything bad in usage above 85%, the problem is closing, crashing and lagging apps.
If MM (update for Europe/Poland) doesn't fix it I will probably sell this phone. It's unbelievable to crash apps during using just a 2 of them (in my case Spotify and instagram at top and a few used before).
Skrobnięte z A5 '16

Did anyone try to fix this problem by "turning off apps in background" in programist options?
I would really like to do that, but every time when I turn this option ON and go back to settings and again go to programist settings it is turned off again - can anyone try to do it on yours phone?
Skrobnięte z A5 '16

Mine is always around 55~60% but free RAM = wasted RAM in Android
More free RAM =/= Smoothness
My A5 2016 can multitask very well (Even with games!) and not much lags

So why some of A5's has so huge problems with ram managing?
Skrobnięte z A5 '16

Is there any stock Android like ROM available for Galaxy a5?

I get MM update yesterday, after 24 I can say my problem stops. Phone seem to be faster and don't get above 87% ram usage.
I didn't restore A5 16 to factory settings.
Skrobnięte z A5 '16

I have problem with level battery when Reach 5% my mobile trun off ??? Plz slov

@up
First thing which you should do is restoring to factory settings and then we will see.
Skrobnięte z A5 '16

did this happen after u do an update?
im using A5 (2016) for my daily driver.. using spotify a lot too when comutting. never failed me until now (4 month). in my region A5 still dont get MM yet. so i manually upgrade to ROM everymonth with russia region (MM). suprisingly samsung do apply 'android security update' every month for A series.
is ur device is locked by some carrier? AT-T /other? if not try flashing with Russia ROM. u can flash with odin. fear not, ur data & apps still intact. if u flash official fw with odin.
for ram usage, i think this is not a problem. the multitasking still flawless for 2GB of ram. the feature i like from this phone is the GPS. lock very fast. im glad buying this phone. the only downside for me is 'no notification led'

Phone working very slow

Hello,
I own Huawei Nova (CAN0L11C) with EMUI 5 and Android 7. I use it for more than a year now and so far everything looked great.
However, recently I'm very pissed of the productivity of the phone. I am using it mainly not in my country of origin as I work in a different country, but since I'm here I noticed that the phone acts veeery very slow. It becomes a huge issue to open google maps and start navigating with it, and during that time i don't want to speak about multitasking. It's almost impossible to swithc to other apps.
Here are some things that I tried:
I've cleared up disk space.
From time to time i use some apps like NoxCleaner to clean the memory and caches but this fixes the problem temporarily
I did uninstalled apps that i dont use
Nothing helps much. I would appreciate any suggestions to make that phone great again!

you have to factory reset your phone ( 1st you have to save your personal files on Sdcard )
Settings -------> Advanced setting ------> Backup & Reset -------> Factory Data Reset ------> Reset Phone

yeah im kinda trying to avoid that, but thanks for the suggestion. this will be my last option if nothing else works.

Same problem there. Factory reset already done but nothing changes... Some news on the subject ?

How's your RAM usage? Don't use anti viruses and task killers. They're useless on Android.
You can try LineageOS 14.

Thanks for sure.
I have at least 1Go Ram free. Lags appears on maps, snapchat and screen freeze...

Same problem exists
Same problem happening, any solution for this issue?

I have been experiencing the same slow speeds & lag. The 1st 6 months I was so impressed with the performance of this phone, even comparing it to the performance of the flagships. It was really that good. But, come 8 months down the line, & I'm battling with lag, poor multitasking & screen freezing. Im trying to avoid factory resetting & on top of all this I don't have access to my trusted tools as I can't unlock the bootloader to gain root.
Can somebody look into this please & provide some feedback. I doubt its the processor or hardware causing these issues as the Snapdragon 625 is one of the best in its class & other phones using it aren't experiencing the same problems. I have a feeling its got something to do with the Android system updates of recent. The Google security patches updates. I noticed the speed issues after each update was installed.

FINALLY got to the bottom of my Huawei NOVA's performance issues!!!
Firstly, just want to say, Google & Huawei you are both a bunch of Monkeys !!!
I've owned my fone for two years now, and the latter year the device was just a piece of Sh1t to use, anything like Google Maps, or Assist or 'OK Google' was ridiculous to try and use, ..and everything else was running at like a 3rd performance of what the phone was supposed to be acting like. (hanging & freezing whenever you needed it to do something)
**What really cheesed me off is the amount of times this phone went back to Huawei under Warranty and they didn't even both running a performance test with all their technical know how to identify which process/application was the culprit - & o yes, it was a specific process (Or update rather as the last guy on this Thread assumed it was).
No Android apps either from the play store - like Process identifier apps etc would show any bottleneck in either RAM or CPU when the go slow or hanging was occurring, ..its like it couldn't detect the "layer" of which the issue was occurring on.
So Huawei just kept Factory resetting my phone and sending it back,.then as soon as I load my apps and within a week its all balls again. (And Im wondering if its one of my apps doing it)
To the point: IT IS THE **** GOOGLE APP **** itself, ..or at least the updates that are applied after your fone has completed its factory reset (If you did this) and the next updates come down automatically via Google Play store. (This isn't Google Assist or the Android OS itself,..the listing in the installed apps is just called 'Google' or 'Google LLC' (Im a new user so cant post any images or links yet untill after 10 basic posts first).
Grrr! ..this has been soo frustrating to find this out, ..so I just uninstalled updates for this 'Google App' so its back to the default original the phone came with, & now my phone is absolutely flying again - whilst I still have it loaded with all my apps etc.
So who's to blame here, ..Google for pushing updates which kill the phone OR Huawei should've identified this and responded with either a fix OR that the middle weight Nova can't handle the latest 'Google App' updates.
For the record - I also managed to get my Nova updated to Android Nougat (Which wasn't officially released on Nova UK phones, .. I got the correct firmware/software update etc,... but also since it went from Marshmallow to Nougat it also was crippling slow and therefore I got it reverted back to Android 6 Marshmallow (Now Im wondering if again it was simply that the latest Google App Updates had been applied to Nougat and messed the phone ?? - anyway ..ill keep it on Android 6 for now,..just happy that its responsive again and flying.
I also have to manually press the Microphone on the screen now whenever I want to speak to 'OK Google' ..its not automatic anymore - or rather constantly listening out for me to say 'OK Google' (So this must be applicable to the latest Google App update - but then this Nova just cant handle being on listen the whole time. ... But anyway if that's the price to pay for excellent performance now, ..then I dont mind at all. stuff automatic listening for me to say 'OK Google' Ill control it manually instead.
Its been so long that I forgot how a phone should be, ..its insane how fast my phone is now since uninstalling the frikken Google App)
Dont let this Google App update from your phones original - Disable Android Auto Updates
Hope this Helps you guys. (Actually it will blimming well help)
Peace

THANK YOU! <3 I have uninstalled the Google App leaving untouched rest of the google services like "google apps services" or "maps" etc. Now my phone is working as it should be!

Hi guys. Any update on your overall speed?
I factory reset the phone and it helped a bit for a while. Then I disabled the Google App and it worked like a charm... for a while. Now it's incredibly laggy again.
It's really frustrating to use. I would love to install a custom ROM, alas I don't have the bootloader unlock codes

Smart doctor-conserve memory setting missing

Hello
After i updated to oreo i did a factory reset then i installed all my apps .I wanted to use the conserve memory in smart doctor (smart doctor->tap memory->tap three dots->conserve memory).This saved a lot of ram and battery.What can i do?

Oreo does already a preaty good job managing the memory. No need for that setting (even in Nougat there is no real reason).
You can use greenify for that, or even Servicely - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.franco.servicely

Idk why but It got significantly slower since the update.The big problem is that is slower in the ui.Before the update hearthstone was lagging a lot but now everything with this phone is lagging.I honestly don't know what to do.Maybe the phone is faulty?

Check you backgroud apps... Maybe is one there that is using more resources.

Interesting... as far as I know on Nougat, disabling some crucial system apps (or even using adb to uninstall them without root) was causing this option to disappear. Yesterday I started disabling some bloatware on my Oreo H870 and I was like "hey, does this option already disappeared?" and yes... it was gone... so I proceed to disable more stuff
But you say that it's gone anyway... As DJPRMF mentioned - Oreo does really good job with memory management. You can also disable background activity for some apps so it's better than on Nougat in my opinion.

Idk but i think that is something wrong with my unit.I mean after the update and factory reset i started to witness freezing and stuttering and not in games because i even deleted them (hearthstone is just so laggy on my phone idk why) my phone froze in the home screen and in youtube. When i checked to see if there is a misbehaving app in the battery usage setting there was nothing everything was normal. I honestly don't know what to do.I can't send it on warranty right now because i need the phone. Any advice?

It's really hard to tell what's the real cause. I also have problems on Oreo but they're not that annoying (practically only related to battery life but NOT standby time which is perfect now). About the stuttering - I also can't say anything, I have absolutely no games installed on my phone.
Try enabling Developer Options (tapping build number 7 times on About Phone) and there is an option to see running services / active services (idk how it's named in English) which is old-style Android task "manager" where you can see RAM usage for currently running and cached-in-memory apps. Maybe you'll find something there?

I looked in that setting but all was normal.I just saw the apps like google and twitter,facebook and mostly things i know i use. The thing is that when i was scrolling to see the list of apps there the scrolling motion was just so laggy. I forgot to mention the battery life that dropped from 5-6 hours sot to barely 4 hours and it's not that i have stopped using it. Idk why this phone is behaving like this.I don't even have it for a full year(just 7 months).I honestly don't know what to do.I have a friend who owns a honor 7 lite and it runs hearthstone perfectly my g6 just lags in it.

Is there a way to test memory? Lots of weird issues!

I'm not sure if it's my device or an OS update or what. For whatever reason, apps just don't seem to be able to stay running in the background on my OP5. Doesn't matter what kind of app it is, but whenever I to switch to it using the recent's list or pressing the icon, they almost always seem to start up as if they haven't been opened yet. It seems to be getting worse as time goes by. I'm running the lastest OS version and have also factory reset my phone as well as removed a bunch of unused apps and photos.
The thing is my first device didn't have this problem. But I had a hardware issue and my phone was replaced. But about the same time I got my replacement phone, I also had a major OS upgrade occur. So I'm not sure if my replacement device has some sort of defect, or it's just a normal thing that happens now.
Also, on top of apps always starting up from scratch every single time no matter how long it's been since I just used them; now I'm finding apps disappearing from my recently used list! WTF is going on???
I have all optimizations disabled as much as I can, I've deleted a ton of apps and photos to make sure I'm not running out of memory. Yet this phone is still acting very weirdly.
I've searched and used some "memory testers" that I've found in the Play store and they say everything is fine. But I'm not confident they are actually testing the memory or system properly.
Help please!!

But I have been having these issues for the better part of a year, well before I got the Pie update. Granted, Pie has made it much worse, but it's been going on for a very long time now. And it seems to be getting much worse as time goes by.

There is no solution for this. Maybe you can try a custom kernel. Apps killed in background is a normal thing for OnePlus.

This is beyond acceptable now. Apps are being closed while I have them open and are using them! It's different apps, different types of apps, random times, nothing to connect them. Is there anything at all that I can do?
