crashing phone after kernal update - Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey,
i've just done some kernal updates (infinityPLAY) and (Jacobs). I installed the infinity kernal...all seemed fine, smooth running, better oc capabilities, better signal (i think)
then to test which one was better, i installed jacobs kernal, which brought up a few issues, mainly a crashing phone.
It now crashes when ever i try to open applications or settings and I get a FC i've never seen before to do with the hotmail app.
I've restored a previous nandroid and reverted back to infinityplay to no avail.
The phone freezes up about 30 seconds into any app then reboots.
havent tried to reflash ROM yet, will do this after work, then restore nandroid again and see if this works......
Any other ideas?

Have you tried lowering the CPU limit ?
UTID

yeah that was one thing on jacobs kernal the settings were UC 19MHz and OC 768MHz and not changable. Now i've reverted back to infinityplay, i cant get into settings because the phone crashes before the settings load so i dont know what my settings are. I've been running at 658-691 on the CM7 nfinity kernal since xmas with no issues
the only other thing i've done recently is installed launcher pro (paid version)

Not sure then sorry,maybe do the fresh Rom like you said.
UTID

Sorted. OC was still at 768 was eventually let me into CPU settings without crashing. Persistence paid off. Back at 652 now...looking better. ill increase to 691 on the morrow.

[Q] Any reason SetCPU *appears* to be slowing down my phone?

Just rooted my phone a week ago and installed setcpu and a new kernel (made for 4.0.2 - and I quadruple checked that 1) I am definitely on 4.0.2 and 2) the kernel is definitely made for 4.0.2 (it's Faux's 4.0.2 kernel).
With that out of the way, here's my issue: with SetCPU installed, my phone is a slow, laggy mess. When I uninstall the application, my phone is fast, zippy, and all is well. It doesn't make sense given the context. More details below.
Specific things that lag especially bad are the following: 1) very slow screen wake/unlock (without any screen-off profile set/enabled and with the phone at stock min/max CPU frequency and ondemand and interactive governors, and also when underclocked and overclocked and in any combination you can think of); 2) homescreen performance; 3) typing; 4) switching between apps; 5) answering phone calls
I have tried using Setcpu with and without screen off profiles set and enabled, I have tried using the phone at stock clock, overclocked to 1.35ghz, and underclocked to 920mhz, and in all situations and combinations, the phone is slow, jerky, and a bit laggy. I also played with different scaling governors (interactive and ondemand mostly), and had the issue regardless of the governor used. I have not messed with voltage or anything else.
This issue has persisted over three days now, it happens regardless of how many times I've rebooted the phone and uninstalled/reinstalled the SetCPU application, etc. In short, there seems to be nothing I'm doing wrong on my end (or so I think) to explain this issue. And every single time I uninstall SetCPU, my phone is a speed demon again.
I have never had this issue on any previously rooted phone using Setcpu. Also, yes, I wiped cache AND dalvik cache before flashing Faux's kernel. I am not new to Android, cell phones, rooting, flashing kernels, etc. I can even use ADB without problems.
So, hopefully I covered all my bases. Anyone have any thoughts on why I might have been experiencing this issue?

Nexus reverts to 700 mhz max CPU speed.

Ok so for the past 2 AOKP builds (the latest nightly and M1 both Jellybean) i have had this weird issue where upon boot, the CPU would be capped at 700Mhz. so i went into ROM control, set it to 1200 and made sure "set on boot" was on.
eventually, even without a reboot, it woud revert back to 700 MHZ. so i checked my other apps that can controll OC/UC. Franko kernal app, and ROM toolbox were both set at 1200 and not set on boot. so ROM control was in charge of the CPU.
yet, no matter what i do, after about 4 hours on use it reverts back to 700 mhz.
this happened on the included Faux kernel and Franko's latest milestone kernel.
anyone else experiencing this? know what causes it?
On CNA and get the same thing. It's horrible because it will lock up my phone.
Bumping Cuz it happened again. This is the most annoying thing I have come across.
Some of these phones are really picky. Try another rom and see if the problem persists.

*whimpering* b...b....but... I.. like this rom...
BTW, I am on CNA with popcorn kernel which is different than the op so I feel like it's a deeper issue.
CNA kangs literally everything from everyone (not saying that in a derogatory sense).
AOKP has this bug as well, and I'm sure it's being worked on on their side...which CNA will then cherry pick.
I had this before,Download nofrills cpu from play store and set the desired freq,your problem will
Be solved.

I've been using CNA 3.5 and had no problem with the max CPU setting to 700Mhz until i started playing around with all of the settings in the start-up tweaks, Kernel controls, color hack presets, and color gamma tuning. I changed all of the settings back to default and have not had the issue since then (18 hours). I have slowly started enabling all of the tweaks one at a time to see what was causing the max CPU to set at 700MHz.
max boot speed to 700mhz is defined in init.tuna.rc, if i recall it correctly.

tried changing the kernel !
I used CNA 3.5 and 3.6.6 Still the same issue.
Tried Trinity Kernel too it did help for sometime but still it reverts back to 700mhz..
Is there any fix yet.... I really Love CNA so i prefer to stay on this rom.
My friend using PARANOID ANDROID has never experienced such an issue.
Hope it is fixed soon
Thanks
I'm having the same issue on CNA 3.6.6. Even when I set it back to 1200mhz it still never goes above 700 mhz.
I'm having the same problem. On CNA 3.8 right now, but have had the same problem on other custom rooted ROMs based off of cm. I finally figured out that it reverts back to 700 MHz during phone calls--or maybe not every phone call, not sure on that part. All my calls recently have bumped it down. At least now I know when it's switching. Just installed the no frills cpu--hopefully that'll help until this bug gets fixed.

[Q] Random Reboots driving me crazy

I've had this E4gt for a few days now. First thing I did was root it with the FI27 Odin one click method, then install Agats source 6.5 kernel. Had some random reboots that I shrugged off as my phone not liking any undervolting. But it still does it, even under _dan's lightweight v0.2 rom
It isn't completely random though. Most of the reboots are when I'm trying to wake up the phone after letting it sit idle. Other times it'll reboot while it's sleeping idle. it has NEVER rebooted during use (I ran pandora/poweramp for 8 hours no problem)
It also occurs under most governor settings.
It almost seems that for whatever reason, idling at 200mv is causing the phone to crash and reboot.
the only overclock utility I use is System Tuner Pro, however I don't know if this could be the cause.
Only other option I can see is unroot/flash stock FI27 and see what happens, but I really don't want to go through the hassle, especially having to get another effing phone (since assurion can't be bothered to ever send a proper working phone)
bit of info on my phone I guess
Rooted it from bone stock factory FI27 using Odin FI27 One click rooting (success on first try)
Agats source 6.5 kernel
_dan's Lightweight v0.2 rom
Ktoonservative kernel (however it seems every kernel does this)
Scheduler set to noop
no oc/uv settings currently
I use System Tuner Pro to adjust clocks/governor settings, etc however, I haven't done many tweaks besides my OOM settings.
Stock rooted with Agat's source 6.5 was causing reboots as well, under the same conditions (deep sleep reboots, and waking from deep sleep)

Is the phone new or did you acquire it used? I had random reboot issues...tried numerous software fixes (new ROM, new kernel, uninstalling apps). Finally found the problem...a faulty power button. The solution for me was to replace the phone under warranty.
Its an assurion refer. According to the phones lifetime stats however it wasnt used for more than a week or so in august.
Also its not the power button. I watched it lock up and reboot earlier today
I'm almost thinking I should call asurion and tell them they sent me another effed uup phone and demand a nib phone. But that means unrooting this one and I'm not sure how big of a pain that will be

Ktoon... gov gave me some odd results too, try pegasusq and don't under volt until you have established a stable setup.
Honestly though try a different rom, FI27 seemed buggy to me but FI03 was alright. If you want to try Jellybean then give Codename a try. Its been rock solid.

Interesting that you would mention ktoonservitive!
My setup has been always dead stable. But....
I've had a few random reboots when on calls lately and have been running that (ktoon..) for a little while now.
I'll have to switch that out and see what happens.
Well im currebtly running the latest version of recaulk so ill report back with my results if i gwt any reboots.

After running Re-Caulk all night, I've come to the conclusion that FI27 was the culprit.
Ktoon probably wasn't helping, as I was running it quite often.
I'm using whatever kernel comes with re-caulk, min at 100mhz, max at 1400mhz, -25mv. Battery life is better than before (though, with my 3800mah battery, its already insane)
buttery smooth goodness too
Bit of an update since I made this thread.
Running smartbench 2011 I was getting abysmall productivity scores, and it seemed overall my scores were AWFUL no matter what in any benchmark (overclocking to 1.5 would barely get the almost to baseline numbers)
I called asurion and told them I was having reboot issues with the phone etc, they sent me another refurb today.
Scores are exactly as they should be now. Productivity scores in smartbench 2011 went from 2500-2800 to 4000+
I think the CPU on my first e4gt had a problem with the processor, which is why deep sleeping was crashing it.
I do realize benchmark scores mean nothing in terms of real world performance, but when there's a known baseline number for a particular phone, and your phone is struggling to even get close to that baseline (even with a maximum overclock) there is clearly something wrong with it.

[Q] My Phone freezes while Installing Apps

Hi.!
I have a disturbing problem with my gnex.
Running Xylon 14 stable with franco kernel. I always use latest version of everything.
But my problem comes from past time and still continues.
When i install an app, from market, from blackmkrt or as an apk doesnt matter my phone frozes for 30 secs.
I cant do anything while doing that. Then it comes back to normal.
Its really annoying cuz sometimes play store crashes because of that, my navbar goes then comes back.
i have over 140 apps installed and i always flash roms wiping data and cache. always clean install.
but restoring apps from titanium backup.
When i do clean flash, if i install anything from anywhere, nothing happens, my phone acts normal.
Is this related to titanium backup? or Rom problem (Which i dont think so) or Related to so many apps installed.
Thank you..
Probably one of the apps u r restoring using Titanium Backup is giving u problem. I would do a clean install and download/install the apps one by one instead of restoring them with titanium backup. I know is painful doing this for 140+ apps but I don't think u use all of them.

I'm having the same issue, not quite as bad as 30 secs, but my phone will practically lock up when installing or uninstalling apps, or just any general file operation. I am also using xylon (16-1, also tried 19 and tried xenonhd latest). Tried multiple kernels doesn't seem to make any difference.
If you haven't already tried using Lagfix from the market, that might just fix your problem, I think it worked for me a couple times but I'm not 100%. Now it doesn't see to help at all.
Yesterday I decided to wipe everything and install from scratch, installing all apps from the market, and a few manually, it seemed better at first. Then I restored a few remaining apps with Titanium Backup (i needed to restore the data and app). Not sure if thats made it worse or not but it still hangs when installing/uninstalling apps. Very frustrating, after I spent probably over 4 hours (I have a lot of apps).
Seems like the CPU clock gets maxed out when this happens, but I can't see high usage from any apps in particular... I know this is not normal behavior because last week my phone was running perfectly with same rom and kernel, it would not lag/freeze when doing any file transfers or installs etc..
Wish I could pinpoint this issue its really driving me nuts. However I think you should definitely try Lagfix it might fix your issue.
i had the same thing happening on every rom/ kernel i tried .
and i also noticed that the cpu usage spikes to 100% for the time the device locks up.
i also noticed unusual high cpu usage whenever i/o was happening.
so i finally returned to stock and have not had any lock ups yet and the cpu never goes to 100% during i/o. its also high, but not maxed out.
i also noticed this on other devices with custom roms which makes me believe that it has to do with some stuff that was changed in the rom or kernel.
i will stay on stock for some time to see if the lockup will come back because everybody tells me it will... so i will report back in a couple of days and let you know if it started to lag.
oh and i restored all apps with titan backup like i had them in the custom rom so this can not be the issue.

I can confirm the high CPU usage during the heavy i/o was happening. My phone would run cpu clock maxed, and then gets hot. One of the processes using a lot of CPU was System or System UI. I was also getting system ui crashes, without a error message though, it would just close and restart system UI by itself. When I checked battery stats showed Android_System which is System UI I believe.
I'm going to try again from scratch with a custom rom (one that was at one point not giving me problems xylon 16-1). This time i'm going to wipe everything including the internal SD.
AFAIK dalvik cache is generating right after installing app. Its like boot time increases after wiping dalvik cache.
And if so - its might be CPU greedy =.)

I see, maybe there is something gone wrong with the dalvik cache or something (I have no clue about dalvik cache) Is there perhaps an upper limit to the number of apps where the dalvik cache gets full or too large that would cause this issue? I've wiped cache and dalvik cache quite often (when trying other kernels recently) and it didn't seem to help the issue.
I went ahead and wiped everything went back to stock 4.2.1, installed 50+ apps via the market, phone barely got warm, and everything continued smoothly no freezing or high cpu usage during this (normally have 175+ apps installed).
I will test restoring app my other apps via Titanium Backup on the stock ROM and see what happens. Will report back...
I don't think I will stay on the stock rom for much longer, there are quite a few tweaks in these custom roms that I'm missing. But I will keep testing for now.
Thanks,
EDIT: Restored my missing apps with titanium (total 104 user apps) and everything is still smooth, including when installing and uninstalling apps from the play store etc... Will wait and see if that changes though.

Humm, I have the same terrible performance from Play Store. XENON HD Stable 4.0 and Franco kernel r364, although the problem goes back through many prior versions of this ROM and kernel.
I have almost 300 apps on the device, and Play Store seems to be the only one that kills the system. I'm also running the "seeder" app, which helped eliminate all other lag on the device FWIW.
A solution would be awesome, but for now, I just walk away from my comm dev and interact with the spousal unit. Strange, I know.

I should have updated earlier.
What I did was wipe everything including internal sd, then installed paranoid android rom, installed ak.Dummy kernel 673. Let the play store restore all my apps. Everything was smooth as hell almost 24hrs running so perfectly I was even running max cpu at 920mhz, everything was perfect until restoring some last remaining apps with titanium backup.
Soon as I did that lag and freezing has come back. Lag is so bad at times system ui force closes.
Edit: I just uninstalled all the apps that I had restored with titanium backup. So far the lag is still there somewhat.
This is really driving me fn nuts. If I wasn't so used to a lot of these custom rom features/tweaks, I would just stick with the stock 4.2.1 rom. That was the only rom that didn't eventually had even after restoring apps with titanium backup.
Anyway IMO there is something funky going on when restoring apps with titanium backup. That's when it all starts lagging again for me anyway. Device starts to get hot AGAIN (even though I have cpu still set to 920mhz max).
I've had this same issue with the following ROMs:
Xenon hd (latest)
Xylon (16-19 builds)
Paranoid android (latest)
So it doesn't seem to be rom specific...
I'm going to start over again for the millionth time (feels like) and wipe everything, and install paranoid android again but this time avoid titanium backup, but even going to install it.
I will report back.

Interesting. I use CWM for the ROM manager and Titanium to restore the apps. Haven't seen the lag problem, except after dirty flashes of XENON. After wiping, the lags went away, but only when using seeder (the free version from these forums).
For a while, I thought it was Facebook causing the lag. Every time I'd check OS Monitor, Facebook was running the CPU's at 40% or more. I backed off the refresh interval to one hour. Its now behaving normally but I'm not convinced that it caused the lags.
I concur: something is causing the lags. Maybe the community can piece together the common elements to isolate it. For now, my phone is running better than new and I'm really happy with the performance.

I will definitely give this "seeder" app a try this is the first I've heard about it. Thanks!
FWIW, I did have facebook installed but I had all refresh/notifications set to manual and/or off, never did see any high CPU usage with the facebook app in all the times I've been monitoring for this issue.
Thanks again,

I've yet to try it thought, been trying to isolate the cause of this lag...which I might have found, sort of...
After wiping and installing everything from scratch 3 more times, it seems like if I go over 100 apps (number might be lower) that seems to the the trigger point. Once I hit this unknown number of apps installed its like a light switch gets flipped and everything goes to @#[email protected]#$, and lag starts.
This last time I only installed the most essential apps (which still was total of 60-70 lol) So far no lag at all, everything is running great, no lag when installing or uninstalling apps on the market etc..
Running as smooth as it does after a complete wipe and first install. So that's my thought for now, no idea what the actually issue is or how to fix it, other than staying below a certain number of apps. This seems to fix this issue for me at least for now anyway.
Few other things to note, I didn't let the market restore my apps automatically, I installed them one by one... Also did not install or use titanium backup, which I was suspecting as the cause initially, but it was just after restoring all my apps with TB, I went over this "X" number of apps installed that would cause the lag to begin.
Will update if anything changes.
i have exactly the same behavior...

cpu speed

since i cant post this in the dev for cm10 i have to post this here. i installed it last night on my phone and everything has been running pretty good. i understand its still a wip so im not complaining. what has come to my attention is the fact that my phone now likes to run at 1026 no matter how low i set it at. if its sitting there itll change to 384. when i was on stock rom rooted and unlocked, it would never change speed on powersave. now if i go into antutu or just performance under settings minimum will always change to 1026. i havent had a chance to really test if its affecting my battery life but i can let someone know. im bringing it up so maybe the devs can have their way with it. if theres any way i can help, just let me know.
0328 update
with the latest update the speed issue is still there and the camera has been improved although i havent tried video yet. but on 0327 it has like a staircase set up on the upper lefthand side of the screen. did a wipe and fresh 0328 so ill see how that goes. keep up the great work and as always let me know if there is anything i can do to help.
update:recorded video still has issue but nexus7 camera apps work perfectly to get to camera here. flash or the camera worked once and hasnt worked since. still a great rom.
It looks like you're not using the latest cm10 builds, you need to hit the "next" thing on the top right of the download page.
I recommend taking a spin with the houcha kernel. It's pretty much fixed the cpu stuff, and intellidemand governor is amazing; Turns off 3 cores when nothing is taxing and idles at correct minimums.
They are always up to date with the cm10 kernel commits as well.
I get amazing battery life.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
0429 update
yeah. its running pretty good. the video recording is fixed so that helps me out at work. with all the phones and tablets i have, i havent installed another kernal so thats the only thing im a little sketchy on doing. but since you recommend it i think i have to give it a look. if theres anything i should know about it, just let me know.
I was on the latest update but I just fat fingered my posts and wasn't double checking it. Just had to install a keyboard that better suites me.
update-flash on the camera work only when i use touch to focus. does that kernal help with that?
clean install of 5/5
Did a clean install last night with standard 4.2.2 gapps. Camera icon has has appeared without the need to install a 3rd party app to access it. Battery life is about the same as before with installing a different kernel. As my daily driver I would recommend it all the way. Follow the forums specific to the ROM and you can't go wrong. I'll keep updating about the progress until I can post on there.
powersave for cm10.1
If you want to get powersave to work correctly; 1.set both speeds to the same number 2.must be below 1026.
If you set them both to 1026, they will stay at that speed. If you set them to two different numbers the minimum and maximum will default to 1026 and1350, respectively, when the system feels it needs the power above 384 and will stay there. Hopefully this will help someone out.
The reason the cpu speed gets raised to 1026 is due to mpdecision. It boosts the cpu speed on touch to increase the interactivity and decrease the lag. mpdecision is a qcom blob and since we are trying to stay as close to mako as possible these is nothing I can do about that blob.
Then I guess my question is why on stock I can run at 384 min with max at 1512 on powersave and it'll actually run at 384 but this cant?
fine for me
I have not really had this problem at all weird

So what min and max speeds is your phone set at? What speed does it end up at after using it for 5 mins on the net?

my powersave settings with the max at 1512 and min at 384 seemed to stick longer than normal with this rom. im going to backup everything, revert back to zvb and then do a clean install of the latest and see how that fairs.
Did a full restore of my phone back to zvb. Did all the GPS stuff I needed to, rooted and unlocked. Proceeded to do a full wipe and install of 5/27 ROM. Speed issue still there but as noted before I found a small workaround and randomly today I got a message that maps had stopped working.
I did play around with the ROM before install gapps and found some interesting things. None really stuck out except Bluetooth not working at all.
After installing gapps, everything seems to work perfectly. Downloading 5/28 right now and dont expect much to change. Some updates hold my speed settings and some dont. Not really an issue.

powersave function was working correctly with the max at 1512 and the min at 384 right after initial update. using antutu the temp and battery level would be displayed incorrectly. after the first reboot though, everything went back to "normal." but on the brightside if you set the max to 918 and the min at 384 on powersave, it appears to now stay that way. no more having to set them both at the same speed. i will continue to play with the speed settings and see if anything else comes up.
