Anyone having issues with 3.29.651.5 - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am running stock 3.29.651.5. Ever since I updated, my battery performance has decreased, my web browser has become very choppy, and overall, the phone just isn't as responsive. The previous build ran beautifully on my Evo. Anyone else having issues?

PEACE,
YES!! It appears that my browser cant even get some pages (or it takes forever to load ---for instance XDA). I use Gtalk (I know most of you consider it BLOATWARE) and i barely can connect or 3G or 4G. My best connection is Wi-Fi which is good--when I'm home...not so good when I'm at work. I've ran the wimax test on my phone through Terminal Emulator and it stated that my wimax keys are still in tact and i have installed the latest radio...*shrugging shoulders*

I am running rooted stock (myn's I believe) with no issues... my other evo is stock 3.29 and had battery issues for the second and third days running but has since smoothed out....
Edit... using Sprint Lovers stock-ish 3.29 from over at ppcg

I have rooted odexed Rom and I can't rip out the Sprint bloatware. It's driving me insane. DC 3.6 can't come fast enough

I'm definitely having issues with gtalk..I can always connect via wifi but for some reason 3g has issues. I can connect with other 3rd party apps though, like beejive and trillian.

I am also having some issues. Used to get around 20hrs or so under moderate use. Now it seems to be more like 12 possibly 16. I get a very weak signal at work and this new update seams to drain much quicker. been thinking about rooting. Have done a lot a reading but not 100% sure how to do it yet.

same problem here. So I read elsewhere to check your Accounts and Sync in the settings. The update reenabled sync for stocks, weather and peep....which once I turned back off, my battery is fantastic!

I can't signin to GTalk since the update. I cleared the data, but that didn't help. What exactly does GTalk do?

Yeah already turned the sync back off. Gonna try rooting with unrevoked. Seems pretty simple to do.

I have had stock everything since I purchased my phone, no rooting or anything and have never had any issues with my phone at all. Since the 3.29 update, I think my phone is actually running better. The screen transitions on all my programs seem smoother, even the 4G load animation is smoother. Battery life is the same as before, crappy but I use my phone ALOT for work. I just don't know if I am just lucky or it is becuase I am using the phone as it was intended from Sprint.

Just a question, not being a smart ass, but what made you join these forums if you haven't done anything to your phone? I'm truly intrigued by the different things I can do, and I like reading about what I can possibly do.

I've been having an issue with audio applications.
If I pause a song or podcast (whether it be in the stock Music application, Google Listen, or Audio Book Player), leave the application for a while, and return there is a very high chance the song or podcast will restart from the beginning. Likewise if I do the same in Pandora the application fill crash on me.
This is mostly annoying because 90% of what I listen to on my phone are podcasts and lectures. Not being able to easily pick up where I left off is irksome.
Has anybody else had this issue?

have you tried pulling out the battery? i had alot of problems with the phone after update and so did my parents. after i pulled battery it starting working alot smoother and battery life has been alot better.

Yes and it is really ticking me off. I started noticing this after the update. I also listen to a lot of podcasts, and am tired of it restarting, it never did this before. Who do we report these bugs too?

Well normally you would report bugs to the app developer, in the case of apps. But in this case I don't know, because I haven't had any of these problems. Haven't done any podcasts but I use Pandora, last.fm, or Slacker radio for about an hour a day. I use it for a half hour on the way to work, pause it since I don't use my phone at work for anything but phone calls, then play from where I paused it 8-10 hours later for the half hour drive home.

I'd try a hard reset. Sometimes updates don't work smoothly. Just look at the Sprint forums shortly after the 2.2 update. Tons of issues that were fixed shortly there after by a hard reset. I haven't noticed any issues, and my battery seems to actually last longer, when the screen is off. I just got 12 hours with several phone calls, wifi, bluetooth, GPS, maps, navigation (for a short time), and the biggest battery drainer: games. Still had 12 percent, and it probably would have lasted at least 4 hours if I just let it sit. I leave all my email push and have facebook sync enabled.
Anyways, from my experience, nothing seems broken, its faster thanks to no fps lock, overall better performance, and the battery lasts longer, though it seems to run down a bit faster when in use compared to before, but it barely loses a charge while sleeping, so standby time makes up for it. (as long as you let it sleep, which in my experience, starting with the G1, is the real secret to best battery life. Let it sleep as long as possible. Constantly messing with it, switching the screen off, only to pick it up five minutes later is horrible for battery life. Use it, let it sleep, pick it up again in an hour. If you can that is...)

Was pretty choppy until I flashed netarchy kernel. But still getting alot of FC on Internet, when I use the back button it FC.

I had issues at first but after time and 2 or 3 reboots, all is smooth.

Yup. I use acast for podcasts and noticed that right away. For the life of me i can't figure how the update could have caused this problem.

After you do that, turn off the "Always On Mobile Data" option. I still get push Gmail (the stock mail app that I use for MobileMe doesn't work hourly, but syncs when I open it and randomly without sometimes). Everything else works normal, but when your phone is locked nothing but Gmail, text messages and app alarms that use Slacker/Pandora work just fine. Pandora stops between songs (I listen while I'm setting up my work station) just hit the top power button and it'll resume.
I get about 30 hours with moderate usage. Checking about 10-20 emails per day, listening to Pandora for about an hour or so, checking some web pages, a few text messages, few photos and maybe playing Angry Birds for a bit is my moderate usage. I also keep Bluetooth off unless i'm in my car and I stream to my radio, gps is off unless I use navigation (I still use the tower triangulation for correct weather) and Wi-Fi off.
Sorry for being so long. Hope that helps.

Phone lock up/freeze when using Netflix app

Noticed an issue, thought I'd see if anyone else was seeing it. I don't know if it's isolated to Netflix or not, but it is the only time I've had my phone freeze up on me. I have had it happen twice so far. I don't know how to recreate it though. I'll play Netflix for a while, and then all of the sudden it freezes. I have to pull the battery and restart the phone. Once frozen, it won't accept any input.
Hey. I just had the same problem as you. I was watching netflix and within 10 minutes, the epic 4g touch froze and none of the button worked, not even the power button. I had to removed the battery to reset it. Then it happened again 1 hour into my movie on netflix so I decided to search and saw your post. This is the first time my phone has ever locked up like this.
I use netflix all the time and haven't had it happen to me.
If you look at the Netflix app I'm the market, you will see this started with the latest app update...its the app not the phone. Glad I didn't up date mine...still works great.

I have the latest update, and it still works fine on my phone.
I did have this once in a while. Maybe once a week? Exact symptoms as you describe. I couldn't repeat the bug consistently. Although it seemed to happen when watching more than 45 mins on the phone.
As of the latest update (a week ago), I haven't seen the problem come up actually. It has something to do with the app, not the phone.
Since having the issue I have done an update or two on Netflix. I have been watching a significant amount of video using it too.. I think i'm over 10GB on my plan lol... Anyway, I haven't seen it since. Must just have been Netflix like many of you have noted.
glad to find this post. I've had the same issue on my AT&T GS2 and was about to return the phone.
It's odd to me that an app without root access can freeze the phone and all buttons so easily. Doesn't speak well for the phone's stability. Perhaps something's overheating...
Netflix locks up, no buttons or anything work. First time I pulled my battery to reset it. Didnt think anything about it. So I noticed my phone was getting low on battery so I hooked up my charger and went back to watching X-Files. After an episode and a half I had a little bit of a charge so I pulled the plug and moved to my desk to work while I watched. Couple mins later, blam...lockup. This time I held the power button down and the phone did reset itself, but then I noticed my battery was at 6% when it had been at 60ish before I unplugged it. Then oddly enough, it started climbing about 1% every ten minutes. Wtf?
So anyway. All that novel of a post us to say that i've tested and can recreate the lockup regularly while watching on battery, but haven't had it happen yet when connected to the charger. I'm running unnamed ROM with no other mods or themes. Is it possible this has something to do with CPU profiles changing as the battery drains?
I just wanted to add that the same thing happens to me as momentary.
I'll be watching Netflix while plugged in (USB in this case), phone locks, have to remove the battery, reboot and the battery reads almost dead. It'll go from like 70% to 7%.
This has happened 3-4x.
Anyone have a solution?
I have two sgs2's in the household, its happened on both phones.
Has happened to me on stock,midnight,and unnamed.
Netflix is a buggy app in general. I had to use an old version until recently because it would freeze on both my phone and my CM7 touchpad.
Calkulin 2.9.1 EL29. I have a hunch that this happens only while using Wifi. I've been testing Netflix on 3g and have yet to run across it. It sucks because I only use Netflix while at home and work, and at home I have a lousy 3g signal, especially while downstairs...
Anybody's phone locking up while using Netflix on 3g?
I have been having the same problem for the last few weeks, I usually use 4G on battery and it does freeze on me occasionally. When I am out of 4G, I use 3G with no issues so far. I have yet to use it with WIFI to see if that could be a problem as well.
I hook my phone up to my TV via MHL and run Netflix off my Wifi...
First episode of Deep Space Nine always plays flawless.
Second episode typically locks up the phone and stutters the last half-second of audio until I reset it.

Post your battery stats.My Media Scanner keeps running on my two 3gs phones.

My phone was getting hot because my Media Server(Media Scanner) process was eating anywhere from 10 to 30 percent of my cpu and battery.
My numerous attempts to disable it were unsuccessful,i deleted over 80 apk files and it was still running,lol.
I did a a temporary fix by placing .nomedia file at the root of my sdcard,and guess what?Its still fckn running!
I gave up and thought that it must be just on my phone,guess what?I just got brand new GS3 for my girl and same thing is happening on her GS3 and she is running stock and never been rooted.
Im trying to disable this Media Scanner from running because from what i read on the internet there is no permanent fix,its ics issue.
Im asking people to take screenshots of this process like i did and post them.Because im sure that there are others out there that have this problem that are not even aware of it,and it contributes to bad battery life and phone getting hot.
Post you screenshots so i can write Google to fix this annoying problem,thanks.
You can take a screenshot by pressing and holding power button and home button simultaneously.
I ended up getting a hyperion extended battery. helps alot!

Just checked my phone and the 42 minutes of stayawake time listed on mediaserver correlates to the amount of time I listened to podcasts today. My phone is sitting at 74 % battery left after 8h17m on. That's in a crappy coverage area. No issues with mediaserver here. Running Stock ICS, rooted, stock battery, I've done nothing to kill or freeze any apps.
On the other hand, I don't use the stock media players. I use Poweramp for music and BeyondPod for podcasts. They both seem to use Mediascanner for a backend.
i have Allshare, Media Hub, and Maps, constantly running and i don't even use it and GPS, etc.. are all off.
to me, Android manages apps poorly, yet i've read app management is good for apps that are idle.. if it's so good why is battery life so poor. the problem is they make apps launch faster by having them "saved" in background but to me that still use resources.. I rather the apps take a second of two to load (by killing them when not used) rather than constantly chewing battery by having stuff cached/background running. despite the CPU going into "deep sleep" it manages to chew 7-10% battery life overnight just sitting idle. the only solution is to root and hack all the $#*s out.
i hate to compare WebOS with Andriod but on my Webos tablet it can stay on for a week or two with a full charge (with wifi on) it barely uses any battery when idle.

No,there is only a temporary solution.Just google "ICS Madia Scanner" and you will find that people are having problem with this on just about every phone.
Media Scanner(Media Server service) should only use 2-4% of your battery-thats normal.But if its using 10% or 20% thats not normal and your phone will get hot.
Mrdia Scanner should not be running at all,it doesnt run at all on my Epic 4G and Epic Touch.It should only run fot a minute or two when you reboot the phone or add/delete files.Dont take my word for it just google the issue.
It has something to do with ics not liking certain media files so it keeps scanning them over and over.

Just use 7zip and remove every app you dont use then flash your custom rom.I have GS2 that is not used as a phone so i deleted even phone and mms apk files and turned it into Galaxy S Media Player.

PowerAmp uses its own media scanner so it should not be running at all.Its a good player but i like Neutron better due to 64bit sound.

[Q] Galaxy Nexus extremely laggy after loading music into storage

Hello all,
I have a question about an issue that has been plaguing my phone for about the last month. I have tried numerous ROMs, kernels and basebands (which shouldn't make a difference but it's worth a try). Basically what is happening is when I have a clean install of a ROM with nothing loaded into storage, my phone is snappy and works perfectly, like butter, no matter the ROM or kernel. As soon as I load music on to my phone, the phone slows down dramatically. I start having "xxx is not responding" messages from every app I load up and the phone slows down to a crawl. I have tried many ROMs and kernels. If I install a new ROM without wiping my internal storage, the phone boots up with the newly loaded ROM slowly and can barely make it through the Android setup without crashing. If I wipe the internal storage and load a new ROM it works perfectly and snappy.
Does anyone know of a reason why this would happen? I am surprised that some music files could slow down the phone so much. Any thoughts are appreciated. I haven't tried going back to stock, but that is my next step. Somehow I think it would still slow down. I got the phone with ICS on it and immediately rooted and loaded JB ROMs on it. It didn't really start at first until I loaded my 10GB music collection on there. Any ideas?
Thanks!
Media storage scans new media and logs it into the appropriate apps.
Even with what I drop on (~4 gigs of music) it can lag for a few hours even.
Without you doing further testing and diagnosis I would guess that is your problem.
Settings>Battery should show media scanner high on the list.
Have you tried to let it settle (build up caches and read the files) for a day?
Yes, I was on a trip last week and let it sit for three days. I figured as much for the media scans, so I let it sit for a day. I don't see media scanner anywhere on my battery list. Just mediaserver, as I try to listen to the music that is on the phone as much as I can without locking anything up. I have:
Screen
Phone Idle
Mediaserver
Cell standby
Winamp
FBTouch
Android OS
Chrome
Android System

Hi, sorry for my eng., I have the same problem as you. But I think it's not only music. Tested read\write speed on clean stock, it's awesome. Then filled storage with music (6 gigs) and movies (6 gigs) - write speed decreased from 12 MB\s to 0,7 MB/s!!! WTF?! Then I deleted all music and movies (+12 Gb free) and ran tests again - read\write speed still low! Forever Gone (Nexus 7 memory lag's solution) doesn't helped.
Any ideas?
Well, reported to google about this problem. Others should look for an Issue 39154 on google code threads and join discussion

Let us know what your have found after the update. Good and bad.
Since the update my WiFi has dropped out on my home network twice. Have to restart or turn airplane mode on/off.
Also I don't think the battery has improved any....

I just noticed a bit longer restart times. Thats it !:cyclops:

After the update, at the settings / power the scrolling is laggy. This module was updated, something is just not right at my device. I did a factory reset, no avail. It's lagging only over here, pretty annoying...

Yeah, its true. It slipped my mind. Probably this particular portion of the software was developed at the last moment, and they didn't have enough time to test it thoroughly
I have narrowed my wifi drop outs to the beyond pod app.
My camera won't focus after updating. I had the problem prior, but did the alcohol microfiber run to get the coating off and it was working great. After I updated the camera now seems like it won't focus, only objects within 5 inches are in focus. I did a factory reset and made sure that the camera wasn't set to macro mode. Nothing is working to fix this problem. I think my camera might just be broken now.

Now after a few days i think that the battery cannot hold on so long as with 4.4.2. Previously i could run it two days with moderate use, now the battery level drops to 20% after 24 hours.
At the update the battery was not fully charged. Is this behavior normal after the update, did i make a mistake, or does anybody else have the same problem?
I'm on 19% after 13 hours. WTF is going on? I cannot see any suspicious app causing this. Can i revert to 4.4.2? LOL...

I have (or had) the same problem as you with the new update. Try clearing the cache partition (that's what I've been told). I'm still keeping my eye on the battery to see if it's fixed. The problem for me was that Android Kernel and Android System was using too much battery.
Here are some screenshots:

These battery results are pretty bad compared to what I was getting prior to 4.4.3 (i got 2d5h once with 4h on screen and 7 hours awake).
Hi! I think i was able to fix it, the issue appeared on other devices which received 4.4.3. I cleared the cache for Google Play Store and for GP Services. Now i'm at 50% after 20 hours.

just tried that and hoping it works. I've tried turning off fast boot but having the same issues others are reporting also.
here is a post from another user:
Hi, everyone, this is my first time here, so bear with me. On Wednesday, August 28, I downloaded the new Kit Kat 4.4.3 update from AT&T onto my One M8. Right after and for a few hours after, everything was in great condition as always. I've had my M8 since launch and haven't had a problem since and hold it very dear to me. Then, after about four hours, I noticed the phone was getting hot, really hot. I had power saver on as always and I saw that the CPU was taxed at 97%, just having Instagram running and YouTube actively showing a video. So I restarted the phone, clearing the cache and making sure that nothing was working too hard. That's when the problems really started coming up. It was getting hot but I ignored it and went to the Play Store to update my banking app and download Reddit News. After seven minutes of a normally one minute (if that) update, I stopped the download, cleared the cache and tried again. Nothing. So Google Play won't download, update, or install apps, Google, or third-party. That's not all. Hangouts will not send messages. Even in full LTE connectivity and 5 GHz Wifi AC, message could not send both to Android users (one used messages, the other Hangouts) and to an iPhone. It was like deja vu with my old iPhone 4S. BUT THAT'S NOT ALL. YouTube was giving me hell, too. When I would type into the search bar to search for a video, the search bar would clear. For example, if I'm looking up and type into the search bar on YouTube "Linus Tech Tips," then it'll work. But if after that I backspace or "x" out "Linus Tech Tips," and type something else, say, "Build a Gaming PC," If I use Swype (Swiftkey, Google Keyboard, or HTC Sense), the first word shows up, but as I'm typing, the subsequent words are erased and "Linus Tech Tips" shows up in the search bar (check him out if you don't already). This is EXTREMELY frustrating and now I can't watch The Joy of Painting. Damn. Finally, the CPU and heat I mentioned before is crazy. The CPU is always between 79% and 99% at all times. the RAM is usually at about 75% as normal, but the CPU is running nuclear hot. It's going to 105-115 degrees Fahrenheit. This worries me, all of this, because I wonder if this is the fault of the new 4.4.3 update for the AT&T M8 model or maybe underlying causes. I've had Malwarebytes scan my phone and find nothing. That caches are cleared and nothing seems to work. If anyone can help I would be extremely grateful because my only option in my mind is to do a hard factory reset of the device. Thanks to anoye who can help, and if not, then, oh well. Thanks, and sorry I made an essay out of this, this is really a big problem for me.

Well, I think that the factory reset fixed it. It's been over an hour now, and the phone isn't overheating anymore. Battery life has only dropped 2% in that hour instead of the 2% every five minutes after the update.
After the 4.4.3 update the camera's manual mode doesnt change the exposure the same way as it did in 4.4.2 so i cant see the pics in the viewfinder at night before i actually take the pic and look at it, and that really sucks.
