[Q] Severe Wake-Up Lag After Installing Theme - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been experiencing some extreme wake-up lag on my R800a running DoomKernel v11 after installing a theme. It's so bad that it takes a solid 3 seconds for the screen to light up and during those seconds, the music is choppy as hell. I wouldn't mind it if it wasn't ruining the music. I first installed this custom ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321314 and I noticed the intense lag right away. I thought it was just a glitch in the ROM so I just went back to stock. Then I tried installing this theme http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1464375 and I got the same problem again. I completely wiped all the user data and started from scratch twice and am still faced with the same problem. The phone runs perfectly when it's awake. There's absolutely no lag anywhere, just on the initial wake-up. I even used an app called Soft Locker so it wouldn't go into deep sleep and set my minimum CPU clock to 1.5ghz and I still got the lag. The theme is way too sexy to just give up so I was just wondering if anyone has encountered this before.

So I tried using the stock kernel with the theme and the wake up lag went away so I guess the DooMKernel was causing the problem, which is unfortunate because I love that kernel. Has anyone else had a similar problem while using the DooMKernel?

Actually SE.Tweaked isn't working well right now.
I have R800a as well, I installed it, and it wouldn't even boot. R800i users seem to have no problems, but R800a and at users seem to be having problems.
As well all ICS roms are in BETA. So things not working properly with all phones/kernels should be expected.
So it's not doomkernel, it's the ROM.

Is anyone else finding their Arc starting to lag?

I have had my Arc since it first came out in the UK but have noticed on occasions of late that it seems to have developed a lag, especially on things like accessing the gallery & messaging. Has anyone else noted this?
Nope. However I do use a cache cleaner every few weeks.

Yup, after about 2 weeks mine started to lag every once in a while. I just assumed it was because of some faulty app. So I did a clean install, and 2 weeks later it was the same again. (didn't install too many apps this time)
Mine is still great.
try an app called fast reboot....I find it speeds things up
No lag at all here, 2 months in.
Had the Arc (UK) about 2 months and in the last two weeks things have really started to lag. Have had to resort to rebooting and cleaning the cache regularly but it only takes a day to start lagging again. Wondering whether there is a CPU/ memory hog there in my app suite or a widget but haven't been able to identify anything yet. Once the phone goes below 40-50MB free it is all over and I have to reboot.
This may sound weird but my phone lags during the day and it runs super fast at night lol

Same here after about 1 to 2 days the phone memory goes to about 25MB and is practically not useable and need to reboot. I am on 2.3.3
I went through my apps & by trial & error ended up removing a particular app & that seems to have sped things up a bit. Also downloaded a history cleaner & used that & that has improved things a bit as well. But in certain areas it definitely still seems to lag. Have to wonder now if it is something to do with the Arc's hardware?
ok guys after using SeePU+++ i think i found the process that uses the most cpu power and lags down our Arc is "ndroid.process.acore"
not sure what it does but i believe it is the culprit for random slow downs and lag on our phone...
does anyone know what it does? can anyone confirm my findings?
P.s. I am on global generic 2.3.3 firmwre 145
This problem may be caused by a bug in the Google Contacts Sync , just as seen in this bug:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2377
In other devices like HTC Evo this problem persist

I don't have the Google Sync activated and i don't feel my Arc Laggy
This phone is incredibly laggy. Many FCs or lags when I open the messaging app or other apps... Very sad and frustrating.
One of the major causes of lag on the HTC hero was having too many text messages stored on the phone. Ever since then i tend to not let the numbers build up too much, and i havent noticed any lag problems on the arc (maybe it's a general android problem).

one of the main android apps, your keybord and other important funtions are here, so my advice : dont touch it or you end up reflashing ROM

Galaxy Nexus Random Freezes and Reboots

I've got a Verizon G'NEX and I flashed DroidViscious's 4.1.1v1 rom with Franco's kernel about a month ago and everything was smooth sailing up until last week. I've been experiencing random instances of my screen freezing for about 10 seconds followed by my device rebooting. Upon startup right after a reboot I can enter my pattern lock and then it freezes immediately after and reboots (I can tell it's responsive during the unlocking of the pattern because of the haptic feedback). This will happen several times before I'm able to get back to the homescreen without it freezing.
I thought there was a problem with the rom since it was an older build Jelly Bean so I wiped the device and flashed the latest build of Pete's BuglessBeast using his default kernel hoping that would solve the problem. Unfortunately it didn't. I'm still experiencing these random freezes and reboots and the only way I can get it to boot without freezing is to pull the battery out for a couple of minutes and try again.
I'm wondering if the device is thinking it's getting too hot so it shuts down but I don't really have any way of knowing (it happens a lot when I'm in the car or when the phone is charging). Anyone have any ideas on what the problem is and how to resolve it? Or any ideas on how I can debug the problem myself? It's happening fairly often now when I need my phone the most.
The phone isn't even a year old so if relock the bootloader and return it to stock it should be covered under warranty still if there's a hardware issue.
Well, this problem seems to be exclusive to Jelly Bean. I reverted back to ICS and everything seems to be fine. Is anyone else having this problem with Jelly Bean roms?
yeah I get alot of random reboots and some freezes here and there. not sure what it is. but i have to gsm version gnex.

Lag of death

Hey fellas,
So I have came upon the dreaded lag of death. I was opening up my messaging app and the phone froze and said "messaging has stopped". So I hit ok which should close the application, instead it sent me into a spiral of issues that amounted to "System Process Failure" which in turn forced the phone into a bootloop and now it has begun to stay at the HTC screen. I flashed the .312 radio a few weeks ago so I am thinking thats the underlying issue but I do not know. I am running the PAC rom safe version due to this same issue I had on kangdemnation v.5.
Appreciate the help in advanced fellas.
I don't have a fix, but here are a few notes. (currently using 320 radio and Evervolv rom, other roms may act differently but I've used Evervolv since it was available)
I always get Lag of Death within 24 hours after I overclock. I have gone weeks or months without any issues then I OC and I get Lag of Death
Whenever I get Lag of Death I reboot into recovery (4ext currently) make a nandroid Backup, SuperDuperWipe, then Restore the nandroid and everything works. Sometimes I will get Lag of Death one more time, but usually it works without a hitch.
I'm now on the 2/23 Evervolv Nightly and it works great and I will not be overclocking
I have no idea how to OC haha I just installed the PAC with aroma tweaks and thats the one I love to use but keep getting this damn issue.
Lol, that endless boot loop ended up killing my DInc2. Hopefully your phone doesn't end up like my DInc2.

[Q]bad S3 or just rom?

I've had this S3 for over a year now and I've been trying almost all new roms and tried overclocking but none seems to help the lag. I know it's there because my S2 is smoother in everything other than internet browser speed. I can play same game in full detail smoothly on S2 but I have lags even with low detail in S3. Any normal use seems to be okay but here are the annoying issues and I'm hoping someone has advice. Below are the list of issues that occur in every ROM I've tried.
- BT constantly drops connection and sometimes reboots phone. (I've tried turning off PBAP. This does not help. I've also tried raising min Mhz)
- Some games lag a lot. Reinstall/download does not help. Sometimes turning off WiFi helps with lag. Receiving SMS alert during game causes massive lag
I've been trying to install 4.3 knoxless version but gets stuck in Samsung screen so I gave that up. I might try CM11 next although I didn't have good luck with CM builds (seems to worsen the issue).
Any advise before I put this on CL?

If you're getting the same issues on various roms then it is definitely a problem with the phone.

Stutter in Sound and Video

I have lots of Stutter problems with the Gpad.
I have tried various ROM's but all doe have the problem, from Slimkat to CM11, from infected or from the original fork.
I seemed less with Mahdi, so i changed back to Mahdi 2.7, but still it is very bad.
The sympton: Micro stuttering, frame drops, screen and sound freeze, sound halts and buzzes. all in once for less then a second and random sometimes a couple of times in a minute, sometimes the time is longer.
When: While watching online stream, playing games, watch local movies from SD the same is noticed
What i've done so far, changed kernel, changed ROM's allways with a clean install, changed governer to interactive, even on performance, but never solved the problem.
It seems less with the new official bootloader from LG based on 4.4.2, but then the screen is dimmed on boot.
I can't remember this was with the stock ROM, i've heard others complain either.
Please let me know if there is a way to solve the problem, it is really irritating me and movies are unplayable.
It is just if some background process is taking all CPU power for a moment, or like on old computers where the irq's were wrongly devided.
