[Q] Defy grinds to a halt

Really hoping someone can help me. I have had my Defy for a few months and have always been on a custom SBF but continue to experience problems with the Defy working amazingly for hours and then sometimes I turn the screen on and the Defy is working in some kind of super slow mode and opening anything takes ages, everything does eventually open so it’s not crashed but just going super slow!
I am currently on SBF 3.4.2-177 Nordic but have had the same problem on different SBF’s so either my phone has a hardware issue or its some software I have on my phone, I am currently on Beta 6 of CM7 and have had this issue on other betas of CM7 but have never heard of anyone else with this issue. The phone will sometimes go a whole day without the issue also which is weird. It is not overclocked either. When it goes into what I now call superslow mode I have checked to see what the processor and memory usage are and both are around 60% used not being topped out at all. I have even used StabiltyTest to test the memory and CPU when the problem is occurring and both run through fine.
I really would love to know if anyone else had a similar problem or if they know what is causing it or how I can find out what is causing it without removing every bit of software I use. The only piece of software I use regularly that runs in the background is Juicedefender so I am going to remove this now and see what happens over a few days.
Any help would be amazing
Many Thanks
Bob

Did you install the latest patch for the auto-brightness issue? or Did you turn off the auto-brightness?

Thanks for the fast reply I have already installed the latest patch for auto-brightness issue but still have the problem

Was the phone slow in the stock ROM? I mean that's really wired that the problem appears on each SBF

Hi mys_721x, I only had the stock ROM for a matter of days when I first had the phone so really cant remember but I am thinking I may have to go back to see if I do still have problems if no one else can suggest anything else. Cheers

I have this same problem. Only fix seems to be a reboot whenever it happens

Same here, my phone suddenly becomes sluggish and unusable. Yesterday it was stuck on 100% cpu usage, I entered the task manager to see what was wrong and there wasn't any application that was using the cpu.
Only solution is to reboot everyday.

Glad to see I am not the only one, yea a reboot does the job sometimes it can be twice a day sometimes I don't see it for a few days, do you guys have juice defender installed by any chance as thats the only real program which stays running in my background which is extra to the roms I have used, cheers for your input, lets hope we can figure out whats going on.

I had it to in the past. When i tried to lock the phone it took long time and it wouldn't unlock for a wile 1-2min what is verry long if your waiting and afterwards scrolling was lame.
Don't know what I did, but it's gone now. Now only when out of memory(dhuu!)
I think I wiped it cleen, went to a 2.2 and didn't have it again, now on CM.
Do you see in spare parts any apps using mutch cpu?

Weirdest thing that happens to me..
Every hour/day the phone loads up some applications prepared to start when I turn on the phone..
That means that if I close say, tigertext or Skype, the following day, without turning off the phone, hey are running again.. wtf?
EDIT: A way of checking what's using the CPU, if you're on Froyo, is check the application manager to check for services CPU usage

Yea I have no idea what is causing it but little to no cpu usage when it happens, when I lock on cm7 the tv effect for screen off is super slow motion its really strange, did a clean wipe yesterday and did its first slow down today just before post, cheers

Anyone have any luck with this? Mine just seems to be getting worse and worse on CM7.
Update: I've opened a issue for this on Github. You can go there to post new information / symptoms so that hopefully it can be fixed: https://github.com/Quarx2k/android_device_motorola_umts_jordan/issues/204

Hi dasbin,
Since uninstalling Juicedefender from my phone I have not had this issue once, it has now been 3 days which is probably a record for me so I would say that it was causing me the issue, do you have juicedefender installed? I am now using green power it is much better so far.
Cheers

[Q] Sometimes Screen Doesn't Come Up

Hi,
Sometimes when i click Home button Middle-Bottom of the screen.
physical buttons's Backlight turning on but screen doesn't come up.
I have to try at least 5-6 more times for screen to show up.
What is wrong with my phone ?
It's just sometimes really annoying..
Thank you for reading.
Best Regards.

Using the latest FW ?
From my sexy LT15i

Do you use any custom Rom/kernel?
Sent from my Xperia Arc using XDA

Seems like extreme lag to me. The next time it happens check with a program (like OS monitor) the cpu usage. The situation that you described happened to me once, the MtpApp process was using 100% cpu and i couldn't use my phone properly until i rebooted it.

I faced a similar issue on a Xperia Ray
Its hardware i guess, flashing stock didnt work for me
What i say is you should flash stock FW

Thank you for all those answers !
I'm using DoomKernel 2.32.9 ( I Guess it's 19v )
2.3.7 Modded GB Deluxe Edition ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1533332 )
It was happening more before i started using Modded GB Deluxe Edition.
But it is still happening, and still a lot annoying..
Thank you for reading.
Best Regards.

If your using a program like SetCPU or no-frills cpu control make sure that the minimum clock frequency is not set to 122MHz. Try set it to atleast 245MHz. I tried setting the "screen off" CPU to the minimum on SetCPU before in the hope to get more battery life, but whenever I wanted to wake the phone there would be a 2-3 second lag before the screen showed up. I hope this helps.

I guess this will work.
remove your SD card, connect it to a PC & format it, Insert it back.

@adielee
I wasn't using anything like SetCPU back than. So it can't be the problem.
Thank you for your answer.
@Kajendran
Okay, will try it. Sounds like a good idea.
But why is this hapening ?

Maybe you can try flashing the stock kernel to test? i tried flashing a non-stock kernel a few times before and results were mixed and never perfect for me (don't really know why). Sometimes it would randomly glitch and the screen would turn black for about 1/2 a second or something. Wifi would sometimes be intermittent despite flashing the modules for some as well.
I'm not experienced enough to fully understand but I'm thinking that it could be a regional thing? I mean, how signals differ between regions?

So.......
Did it work........

[XS]GTA Vice City - freezes (must do hard reset)

I've just installed GTA Vice City on my Xperia S and I was excited about getting to play it at last.
The bad thing is, after about 30 seconds of gameplay the game totally crashes and the only way to cut out of the game is to do a hard reset (hold power button + volume up)
I'm just wondering if anyone else has got this game on their device and came across the same problem?
And if so, have you been able to fix it?
My XS is completely stock and unrooted running the latest ICS update.
Thanks in advance if anyone could shed some light on this issue

Same here. But also the game feels a bit laggy.

It actually felt pretty good for the time it would let me use it. It's just the total crash which means I can't do anything with it.

Same here!

Sorry guys for OT, but how did you get this game? IT doesn't show on Google play
Sent from my Sony Xperia S rocking JB

It doesnt show on play store because rockstar have removed it due to the issue of it freezing or as they call it 'technical difficulties' it should be fixed soon though. Fingers xed

I heard of a bug in the game that Rockstar will solve in their next update... For source, simply google 'vice city android'
P.S. GTA III works fine for me

I can confirm IT Also crashes on CM10

WAIT A DAMN SECOND. KIDCARTER93, DIDN'T YOU SAID YOU HAVE SOLD YOUR XPERIA S? You god damn bastard.

Same here with my Xperia Acro S rooted stock...
It was smooth and good at first, but then crashes...
will wait for fix from Rockstar

Same thing here. I'm from a different phone Galaxy S Blaze 4G ( i googled the issue and came across here) It's REALLY smooth at first but then it freezes. Like, the visuals.. cause i can still here the sounds, and im driving and running people over, then i hear the cops.. it just freezes.. BTW im on CM10.
Oh and i dont have to hard reset.. just exit the game, if you're wondering.

I can run around the city but I can't drive cars it freezes as soon as I press the gas but over all this game is way better than GTA 3
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app

I'm guessing this game will be working fine once it's officially released because a ton of devices are having problems running this game at the moment, even though they're on the approved list of devices to work (like our xperia s).
I've managed to get the game working on my S2 and even some people have problems with it on that phone aswell.
Hopefully Rockstar will be able to get this issue solved soon enough

Overheating problem while using google cardboard

Hello
I have a problem with the h815 (black leather)
I bought a vr box, so i can enjoy the google cardboard options
But while using it after 30 minutes the device begins to say : the phone is overheating if this continues the phone will shut down
5 minutes later it shuts off...
And after that i cant boot the device for 5 minutes.
But another thing i notice, in the begin when i start using it every things runs fine and lag free.
After some time lets say 15 a 25 minutes everything begins 2 lag, video's are lagging and watching 380grade picture also.
Some one has idea for preventing it too overheat?
And also who hase the same problem . or has a google cardboard box en not having the problem
I did not yet experience any overheating while playing a game. but I don't game that often
I currently running on my device
Custom rom marshmallow genisys 3.5 exposed edition with the stock rooted kernel 20b

My old G4 (h811) used to have the same issue. I had one of the ones with a bad motherboard so i kinda knew why. Have you tried closing all app besides google cardboard? If so have you tried turning on the core control and temp. Throttle in kernel auduitor (assuming you have root) if none of those help then i dont know. Thats all i got.

Video Stutter Issue in P2

from the last few days i am facing frame skipping in video playback (including youtube app, mx player, vlc) , the video lags and skips few frames.
I did a factory reset, installed deodexed version, wiped cache even reinstalled stock but the problem is still there
Anyone with some info please help
thanks in advance

Yeah bro,i am also facing same problem, BTW did u find any solution?

I'm also facing same issue after nougat update,
I have factory reseted my phone, updated all apps and applied system settings (enabled 'FORCE GPU RENDERING), but it doesn't solved my problem.

Yes it's present in stock ROM nougat version. On mm there weren't any such issues.
Sent from my Lenovo P2a42 using Tapatalk

i don't thinks that its a solution
but after flashing the nougat rom through fastboot the problem of stutter has reduced greatly
now it doesn't stutter that often

Any other solutions for this problem?? i have already factory reset it 2 times and i don't want to risk my new device doing fastboot flash :crying:

any solution for this prblm

I updated my phone to 244 and did a factory reset still the problem persisted but the stutter doesn't seem to occur when I keep it in airplane mode. Can anyone try this.

Guys, I guess I figured it out. Turning off the "participate in the Lenovo experience program" in about phone in settings fixed mine. Hope it works out the same for you guys.

Doesn't work for me, had it turned off from the beginning. The problem also applies to alarm sounds for me, they pause for a split of second every 10-15 secs, is it caused by the same thing?
Is this a common problem or only happens to some of the ppl? How can I know this? I bought this phone yesterday and after it consumed 25% of battery overnight I seriously consider returning it The battery was the main reason I purchased it and now is seems not only it doesnt work properly but other stuff is broken...

Did you update the phone to 244. If not then try it and check again. There weren't any other problems for me other than the video stutters.

If the question was for me, then yes, I did update to 244 and did a full wipe afterwards.

Hmm. Guess your only option is to give it to Lenovo service center and make them roll it back to marsh mellow.

Weird Bug!!! Seems it happens only when using Jio sim in nougat. It will not lag when u switch on aeroplane mod...

Same for me, airplane mode solves the stutter issue. Can you confirm that it works OK on other sim cards.

How does this help me with YouTube? I believe that it will not even load without internet? And what is "Jio"?

It's a 4g carrier in India. Btw have you tried airplane mode. We know that you can't use YouTube but try Mx player or vlc for stutters while in airplane mode. We just want to narrow the possibilities.

I bought a Bluetooth headphone yesterday and it seems to get worse. It was then I found out that an app named Android system was draining my battery but is not the actual Android system(check the screenshot).I went to the app manager and force stopped this app and haven't felt any stutters till now.
Edit: Although the app opens up after a while even if you force stop it and the stutters continue. Need to check after freezing it.

Does this problem still exist? Planned to buy this phone today... but meh, thats a dealbreaker.
Does this problem occur on Custom ROMs too? damn ... i want this battery monster.

The phone doesn't have any major problems such as this one on marshmallow at least from what I hear but running it on nougat will make you to face such problems and Lenovo provides a crappy support.
