CM/Nexus slowdown (of the terrible kind)

I'm having some awful slow-down issues with my N1. Like, 3 second delays between clicking widgets and their intended effect, and even longer switching between home screens (if the screens switch at all).
There's no auto task-killer enabled, I've very recently wiped and re-installed CM, and cleaned out my unused apps. I've got around 200MB of RAM free, constantly. SetCPU is keeping my processor at 461MHz or higher. This is obnoxious as balls, and I can't think of much. :s
Any suggestions?
I'm running CM 5.0.6, btw.

i have the same problem

My N1 is not rooted and I am experiencing slowdowns. When opening txt messages now take 3-5 seconds, and typing completely locks sometimes for 20 seconds. Gmail now takes 5+sec to open and other apps are also seeing this. I just had 10+ programs update themselves and all these issues started appearing suddenly. Also when exiting apps my desktop will be blank for 3-5 seconds. This just happened all within the past 2 weeks or so.

Yeah, the issue is very recent for me too. Last week.

I am wondering if Google sent out an OTA that is prepping the phone for the 2.2 update??? The reason I say this and not point to an app is the simple fact that I have all my apps stopped completely and the issues still exist.

Mmm, I dunno about that. I'm running CyanogenMod. I don't get OTA updates. Do you remember, recently, getting an OTA?
Unless it was pushed inside of a market-updated Google app (uhh.. No.), I wouldn't have got it.

You set your CPU at 461Mhz?? Sure it slow down and lagging. What the point buying a 1Ghz processor phone decide let it run at 461Mhz?
Check the profile if you are not set at 461Mhz, maybe accidently make a profile setting and enable.
Or set your setCPU setting from on demand to on performance.

What kernel are you running?

I think he's setting the minimum at 461 hence the "or higher" part.

Well, I can't actually help much except to suggest that perhaps you could try Kang-o-rama (see my sig) and see if that works. It's a stable and fast bundle with no apparent lag. At least I know that setup works.
If you did proceed then posted your results in that thread I might be able to assist. You shouldn't be experiencing lag with this phone... and if you still are after installing Kang-o-rama we could look at logs for you.
No promises but I know Kang-o-rama works...

Success? Sorry for the laggy reply.

Yeah, Copernicus is right, it's at a minimum of 461MHz (now 499MHz.), with a max of 998MHz, running 'on demand'.

Yeah, won't lie, I'm sick of reinstalling all my stuff, so I don't want to do it again. If I keep having issues, I'll look into it though.
Just last night, I wiped both the data partition (factory reset?) and cleared the Dalvik(sp?)-cache. Started from scratch (without Google settings sync.), and reinstalled apps one by one. SO FAR, I haven't had the slowdown, but who knows. All I've got installed yet are the applications that I actually had desktop shortcuts to. (I didn't have very many more, but these are the ones I actually used frequently.)
Anyway, yeah, I'll see how this goes.

K, need a suggestion.

Sooo, it's not going. Still experiencing the slowdown. I honestly can't think of what's doing this. Advanced Task Manager reports > 190MB free (28 processes running), SetCPU is still running at 499MHz or greater (I can't get 'show CPU to work in Dev Tools?).
Ending everything in the "All Apps" tab does not fix the problem; it's speedy for about 30 seconds, then resumes being slow, with the same problems (so maybe it's a process taking up all my CPU cycles? (But my CPU isn't scaling up like it would in that situation...))
Anything I can try doing before re-flashing and/or wiping? I'd rather avoid that, but, of course, if it's the only solution, whatever. Maybe try flashing a new ROM?
Can't think of what else to do here, gentlemen.

Get rid of SetCPU. I had it installed and it started weirding out on me, would not set the processor higher than 384 and nothing I did in the profiles would set it back to 1 GHz. After I uninstalled, my phone returned to it's normal speeds.

You might not like my advice but it's likely to work:
Don't uninstall SetCPU but set your CPU min to 245 and the max to what you want. Disable profiles but select 'Set on Boot' and 'On Demand'. Do nothing else with SetCPU, leave it alone and do not use the active widget. Your current setup is crazy.
Full wipe (as you've done before) data, cache, dalvik-cache, battery, rotate and then install Kang-o-rama 0.7b1 (no, I'm not simply pushing it, I just know it so well that I can assure you it works).
Do not, under any circumstances restore any data or apps for any application with any application. As soon as you set up your Google account go into Settings | Privacy and disable "Back up my settings" and hit Okay.
Install a task manager if you like for monitoring purposes. Install SetCPU as above if you like for OC.
Install no other apps (now that's the painful part) and use your phone for long enough for you to know with certainty whether it's working as you expect.
In all honesty, if it's still broke after that then you've probably got a hardware issue. If it's working after that then slowly add your apps back until you find what's causing the problem.
Good luck, report back.

So far, uninstalling SetCPU is doing wonders for me. Y'know, over the last 15 minutes. I'll use it throughout the day and see if it keeps performing.
Space for future updates:
****ING BALLSACK. <--- First impression of Kang-o-Rama (I decided to just go for it and flash as soon as I saw it included CM.)
^^^^^^^^^^^^ That text is to be read: Kang-o-Rama is amazing. The theme is sexy, I LOVE the Desire camera, and the bundled stuff (kernel, apps, etc) are quite awesome. We'll see if it solves my performance issues.

I was getting the same thing....
Task kill setcpu and reboot it again. If you keep getting the lag then stop using setCPU.

But thank you!

Delete all widgets that profile your cpu in any way. Stop killing tasks with task killers. Uninstall setcpu. Set exchange email app to "PUSH". Download "Quick System Info Pro" and check what's using up Cpu.
I had the same problem and it turned out to be 2 things: SetCPU widget and exchange email app stuck in a sync cycle.

Maybe theres an ill-performing app that you installed. Since it seems you wiped your phone a couple times including cache. Did you happen to restore apps thru Titanium backup or manually one at a time thru the market.
I always wipe my phone completely and reinstall all apps manually, time consuming, but I have never had a problem.
To further diagnose your problem, see if after installing each app, try the phone to see if there are any slowdowns afterward. Again, I know this is time consuming, but trying to find the problem rather than living with it would be better.
I'm also using 5.0.6 but with no problems or slowdowns.
You can also post a logcat or look thru it yourself if you know how and see if any errors or hangups occur. Logcats are a great way to see the commands being given to your phone and this will most likely reveal your problem.

Same problem, it's annoying.

[Report] KA7 "Battery Drain" (Power Consumption) Report

FYI as a reference point, the screenshots below show CPU activity (a proxy for power consumption) of stock KA7 with stock KA7 Voodoo-injected kernel during an eight-hour sleep-mode test period, logged using SystemPanel. The screen shots also show apps and processes that were frozen with Titanium during this testing and that I normally keep frozen. (I unfreeze Market only when I need it.) Also note that, as a conservative user, I do not synchronize with "the cloud." You will likely get a very different result if you do.
Note the "cityscape" pattern of utilization that resulted in 3% of battery consumption over the eight hour measuring period. Also note that the only process consuming an appreciable (> 0.0%) amount of power was the "suspend" process. For those unfamiliar with these metrics, please see the following tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=823025&page=4
Prior to updating to the full KA7 to build, I was on JL5 PDA plus KA7 modem and stock KA7 Voodoo-injected kernel. Power consumption using that system was very poor. The "suspend" process was consuming an unusual amount of power. The graphs suggested that the suspend process was conflicting with other processes as it attempted to transition the CPU into sleep mode.
I hypothesize that, although workable and largely stable, intermixing components from diverse builds may not be a very good idea. Implementation of the "suspend" state is tricky business. Note that this may have implications for the credibility of custom ROMs released without appropriate sleep-mode power consumption testing...

It is not quite that easy. I cannot tell you which apps/processes are causing you a problem because every system is different. You must use SystemPanel Pro (paid) and follow this process; there is no shortcut:

You are losing me by talking in circles, Bro. You say that you already read the method for figuring out which programs to freeze (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=823025&page=4) and then you are asking me how to go about figuring out which programs to freeze. This is the first sentence in the post:
"No, I do not know what other app(s) may be causing your particular version of this problem, nor does anyone else." The need to follow the method in the post to find out which programs to freeze is the whole point of the post for crissakes.
As to how long it takes to figure out your particular system, not sure. It took me many hours because I had to work out the method in the lengthy post from scratch. It should take you much less time if you simply follow the method in the post using SystemPanel. You figure out the problem apps/processes using SystemPanel and then confirm/apply the fix by freezing with Titanium.
If you get stuck somewhere in the method and have a specific question about that step, tell me where in the method you are stuck and describe what is going on at that step; and I will then try to help you.

CPU maxing @ full speed, 100% load after 24-48 hrs? FIX FOUND!

First off, I cannot take credit for finding this, I was referred to a bug report thread on the Google Android site by XDA user aweaver33, who I thank VERY much for pointing me on the right direction.
So, several of us have had this issue with various custom kernels, where after typically 24-48 hours, the phone would slow to a crawl. If you were to open an app like System Panel, you would see that the CPU load was pegged at 95%+, and speed would be maxed out. You would also see that the process using all the CPU is Android System.
The problem has to do with the file "time_in_state", which literally keeps track of how much time the CPU spends at any given speed in MHz. There is a limit to the size this file is supposed to reach, 256 bytes. Once it exceeds this size, the next time Android tries to access it, it flips out and gets stuck trying, and pegs the CPU. A lot of devs and users blamed SetCPU, and it is true that SetCPU does have an EFFECT on this issue, it does NOT cause it, and indeed the issue can occur whether SetCPU is installed or not.
The issue is brought on by custom kernels that add additional frequency steps for the CPU to choose from, which causes that log file to grow. Which is why older or stock kernels will not cause this. Some ROMS incorporate a workaround so you may not have this issue.
Anyways, the issue is explained better in the link aweaver33 gave me. I will link to the original thread I posted with the conversation we had and the link he gave. I can confirm that, using the info he gave me, the issue has been fixed. I am currently just over 120 hours of uptime with no problems.
Here is the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1082363&highlight=stock+kernel+gpu+
EDIT: attached the script files for those who want them. You can drop one or the other (NOT BOTH) in /etc/init.d if your rom has this folder already (creating the folder and adding it won't work), or you can download Autostart (root) from the market for free, and drop the file in /data/opt (create the opt folder). This difference between the two is one runs only once at boot, the other runs every five minutes. If you use SetCPU, you need the one that runs every five mins, as every time you open SetCPU it resets permissions on the time_in_state file.

flashable zip? not everyone is comfortable with code and scripts

If I knew how, I would. I wasn't even comfortable with it. But I was so tired of the locking up, I was willing to try anything (after a Nandroid of course). I'm not sure you *could* do this in a flashable zip. I can post the script I'm using. It only runs once after reboot, unlike aweaver's, which runs every five mins (good if you're using SetCPU, as opening SetCPU resets the permissions of the time in state file).
This script should work if dropped into /etc/init.d. *If* your ROM has that folder by default. Mine does not, so I had to download a free app from the market called Autostart which is free and very small. For that app you create a folder in /data/ and drop the script in there.
Sorry guys but I'm no dev so this is the best I can do, maybe someone else can make it flashable?

would it also be fixed by simply deleteing the log file as well rather than setting it to unreadable

It can't be deleted. System instantly replaces it.

Issue 9733 is still listed as New, so either Google hasn't fixed it in Gingerbread or they just don't bother statusing their bug reports.

Why do you feel the need to delete it? If you are trying to delete it, you are likely using Root Explorer. Why not just use that to change the permissions of the file? Tap and hold, select permissions, and unchecked all permissions except for the top left one. This will stop the bug, but the permissions will be reset after a reboot, or after opening SetCPU.
I imagine that deleting the file might actually cause FC's or may cause the same bug but I dunno since it wont delete.

I've never created a flashable zip before, but I'd be willing to look into it if the demand is really there. The problem I see is that I'd have to make certain assumptions about how everybody's ROMs are configured. It looks like the most portable approach would be to append a line to the end of /bootcomplete.inc.rc. Do people really find it easier to boot into recovery and flash a zip than to add one line to a file themselves? Personally, I'm always hesitant to flash a zip other than a full ROM because I'd be uncertain how it interacts with other changes I've made to my system.

[Q] How long do u need 2 change ur rom?

Hi all,
i love this forum so much. thx for that!
When i change my rom i allways do:
download the rom
titanium backup
charging phone to 100%
cwm backup
data wipe
cache wipe
install the rom
dalvik wipe
adding my wifi
adding my google-acc
downloading about 20 apps
restore the userdata with titanium backup
adjust homescreens
changing a lot of settings (for example im very tired for setting allways my auto-brightness-levels. Can i export and import?)
i need about 7h to have everything that way i like it. how long do you need? and have you some tricks to fasten it up?
thx
greets
haxn
PS: im using "ILWT CM7 333" rom. it is awesome!

Most times, backup rom (2-10mins), full wipe, flash, use... Add Titanium sometimes, but I prefer to redownload everything. So something like 15 mins. Also because I change rom frequently, when I decide to keep a rom, I may add some more wipes and sometimes kernels and optimizations (swap, ViperMod, supercharger (just found) or similar...), but most of the times they work right without anything
sorry didn't see you meant also settings and downloading apps, 1 hour so.

7 hours? Jesus!
I can do it all in an hour or 2. To be fair, I'd say 2 hours, as its easy to put the phone down and doing something else while waiting for a task to get done (like CWM backup or Titanium), then forgetting about it for a while.
Of course, how low your battery is will affect the charging step, but at most that's an additional hour.
I can't imagine it taking more than a couple hours, much less the other choices on your poll.

7 hours, the hell man. That's quite a lot. I can do it in an hour clean. But I suppose it all depends on how you use your phone...
I just wipe, flash and then install a couple of apps. I use yahoo mail and it handles all my other mail accounts as well, so that's a quick and dirty cheat as all you need to do is install the app and sign in and boom all your mail is back and all your mail accounts are configured

It only takes about an hour. I do a nandroid backup, titanium, call log, and sms. That's like ten or fifteen minutes. Then I flash the new rom. Install gapps connect to wifi and download titanium again. That only takes ten minutes. The only thing that takes long is restoring apps. I use go launcher on most roms so I just keep the same home screens and settings. I don't see what could take seven hours...

and the poll... its just for fun. =)

Why do you all charge to 100%? I just flash unless I'm below 25% after I flash a new rom I drain it to 1% and wipe battery stats, my battery life has improved dramatically since I started doing that. Oh, and I would say two hours max.

You can't "improve battery life" by playing tricks with battery stats. Its like saying that messing with the fuel gauge in your car will change how much gas is left in the tank. Battery gauge calibrations and whatnot just change what the meter is saying versus voltage. It doesn't change how long your battery lasts.

Its true that most times, you just need enough juice to get the flash done. And I've certainly done it with much less charge than 100%.
In some circumstances of modding the phone its possible to get stuck in a state where the phone will not charge. Messing with hboot is one case where this may happen, but there may be others. In this case, you can recover, provided you have enough battery to do so. If your battery runs too low before you can recover, you are in deep trouble.
Not sure if this type of scenario is possible with a routine ROM flash. But waiting an extra 15 minutes or half hour to make sure you have a decent charge (while not necessarily 100%) doesn't hurt anything, and might prevent you from being stuck in a bad situation.

Nope. Apps restored from Titanium are still linked to the Market. They get updated just as normal.
After a ROM flash I usually let the apps sync through Google, then restore the app data only, for apps that need it. But sometimes when apps are missing after the auto-sync, I just restore from Titanium.

And changing that setting takes what, about 10 seconds?
I think you're talking about changing lots of little settings (but you keep mentioning brightness only). But in that case, we're still talking about changing a bunch of settings that take 10 seconds each (or less). Still don't see how that can add up to more than an hour or 2.

another thing to note on battery draining. With the current generation of batteries, it's actually not a good thing to drain it to 1%. It does more damage than anything else. Older gen batteries require that you drain it then charge it up to full again for a few cycles, but that's because of the memory effect.
By draining your battery to 1% you're starving the battery and doing nothing but damaging the battery's capacity. our batteries usually prefer a 20-45% level over anything else.

So when google syncs your apps do you still have to go in and manually download them from the my apps page in the market? I've always used titanium to restore and even when I do it in a batch operation I have to hit install and then done for each app. Is there a way to automate this?

Nope. They should just start synching automagically once you go through the setup wizard (first time you boot the phone after the flash) and enter your Google login. Of course, only for Market apps, not apps obtained from other sources.

I wasn't clear on what you were talking about with auto brightness before. I thought you meant just changing the % brightness in settings. Is the auto brightness you mention an app, or a CM7 hack (I haven't messed with CM in a long time). If its an app (and there are some auto brightness apps), you can try to restore app data using Titanium instead of re-entering manually.
Which launcher are you using? If its ADW, you have the option in app to backup the home screen configuration. When you restore, it doesn't come back perfect (some widgets always get messed up for me). But it gets you 80% there and saves a bunch of time. I assume Launcher Pro and other 3rd party launchers has similar functionality. Not sure if you can do similar on the stock launcher (maybe using Titanium?)

auto brightness:
yes it is cm7-stuff. i want my screen a bit darker to improve my batterylife.
launcher:
i use go launcher. there is a save and restore function. but some things go wrong.

If you downloaded apps from the Google Android Market (the "regular" market), then they should just start automatically start synching when you startup the phone after a flash (or buy a new Android phone). You shouldn't have to "do" anything extra. If you got your apps for another market or installed the APKs manually, it won't do this.

IIRC the free version of TB requires you to hit install for each app while the paid version does it in one batch.

Jinxed myself. The above has always worked for me, over various different ROMs (CM7, VIrtuous "regular", Affinity, Unity, RCMix, MIUI). I just flashed InsertCoin last night, and none of my apps were automatically synched when I started the phone up. In Market, only my paid apps showed up, and I had to install them manually one by one.
Searching around a bit on here, it seems the auto-sync function is a bit hit-or-miss. One person claims it mostly only works on AOSP ROMs, but this is clearly not the case in my experience.

Lollipop:rapid battery drain.

After upgrade to 5.1,there are some serious issues .Whenever the tablet is woke,it heats up almost instantly,even if its simply left with the screen-on.This causes rapid battery drain.I think the processor runs at its peak state,all the time during screen-on.I find many users complaining about the same.So,if anyone has a solution, please be generous enough to share-possibly without rooting.

I didn't get the heating or battery drain but every time I rebooted the tablet it would optimize all the apps. A factory reset solved the problem.

factory reset solved only the problems for a few days now weeks later the tablet still is not function normal.. heats up quick, seems to have cpu at 100% almost nonstop because of the nvidia tegra services running in the background stealing 30-60% cpu and makes the cpu go 100% full alltime thats what causing lag and heat problems for me so many weeks and because of this i barely use it so frustrating and nvidia dont even seem to care - posted on their geforce forums but not a word response month later fking clowns!

Hit thanks if works

Mine was overheating too. Now it's good.
In my case turning all apps configuration to optimised for nvidia worked.
To do that you need to download activity launcher app from play store then install it.
In the app press all then go to settings. Look for "SETTINGS com.android.settings.NvControlPanel" (If you hold you will be able to create a shortcut on home screen). Then in APPS tab press optimise all. From now all previously installed apps will be optimised and will not run at Max performance mode. New apps need to be optimised after installation.

Can someone look in their /lbh partition at the prop file in there trying to see if one can bypass Advents servers for OTA updates as it seems Advent servers do not have the 3.0 update. Thanks in advance

Not seen the overheating described, but I was seeing very fast battery drain on standby (25% overnight!). The main culprit turned out to be the Photos app - it wasn't syncing anything, but google services were using 40ish% battery and Photos another 20%. Since removing Photos and disabling unused google stuff (hangouts, google+ etc) standby is back to kitkat levels (2-3% overnight).

Is there a guide somewhere to fix the massive battery drain, in standby/hibernate that I have now after I upgraded to Lollipop? Just some settings or something easy to install? What's this Activity Launcher App then?
