Hello,
Before writing this thread, I searched over this forum for my problem but couldn't find a working resolution.
I realized this when I found several missed calls which I didn't actually hear!
What is happening is that when the phone is in "stand by" mode (which is usually the state it is when receiving a call):
The phone vibrates while in black screen, then after 2 seconds the screen awake and show a the green incoming call icon at task bar then a second later the picture and number appears with ringtone.
So this process is taking around 4 seconds which means the caller already heard up to 3 rings or 4 when I hear the first ring.
Not to mention, if somebody is ringing once as a missed call, I will only see the notification of missed call and never hear a ring.
Now this started to be annoying, specially that some people do not wait for more than 3 rings and then hang up.
What would be the possible resolutions, knowing that I tries the "call delay" patch but nothing changed.
(using sense 3.5 on GB 2.3.5)
ive found some roms are better then others at this. i have used roms that seem to take just as long as your describing and i know how frustrating it can be so i changed. not always but i feel sense roms tend to have a slower dialer and being my main purpose for a phone is for calls and texts if one of those features isnt perfect i dont care how great the rest of the rom is. my suggestion is either change roms or talk to the dev of the one you like and see if they know of or can fix the issue
What custom ROM? Saying "sense 3.5 on GB 2.3.5" is not really enough info. As mentioned in the previous response, it may be linked the specific ROM. I've used a few Sense 3.x ROMs and never had this issue.
Sorry for forgetting to mention the ROM; lately flashed :
RunnyDrOiD v5.0 By PVTEAM
Everything else is working fine with this rom specially that it was not easy to find a sense 3.5 ROM supporting Arabic by default without having to flash the Arabic translation separately (if you know better rom pls advise).
Is it a ROM issue then?
Thanks for your replies..

and how to find that out ? I'm not yet a dev man
I had that kind of problems while using Sense 3.x roms. Our device doesn't have enough RAM to allow it to run smoothly. So sometimes it lags too much (or even freezes) and you can't pick up some calls.
You should consider using a SWAP partition (you can find a post from xT4Z1N4TRx explaining how to set it up here) if you don't already do.
I know some people will complain about me saying this
Both swap and compcache don't do too much, in some occasions it can even slow things down.
I would just recomend switching to an aosp rom or a sense rom that dosent seem to have this problem. Unless you can get the developer of the rom you're using to try and fix this. But by all meanse feel free to set up swap and or compcache my guess is that you won't get much out of it

I agree and never kept a Sense 3.x Rom more than a couple days. But if he wants to use that kind of roms, using a swap partition will make their use a little less uncomfortable ;p

Will try another sense 3.5 rom to see if there will be any changes (if you any rom which is known to be light in ram usage pls advise).
If not, will have to switch back to older sense versions.

..or to a newer version ! Sense 4.0A runs so smoothly on our device compared to 3.x versions. It's not as flashy as 3.x but it sure looks good and it will allow you to use HTC widgets.
Take a look at those topics :
[ROM][18/03/12]Ice Cream SENSEwich Beta 3|Sense 4.0A One V|4.0.3|ONLINE
[ROM][20-03-2012][Sense 4.0A][ICS][IceZSense beta 1 | HTC One V Port]

True that 3.X ROMs are sluggish and lag in many ways. But I've tried Unity, Affinity, and RCMix Energized Version. As far as I can recall, none of them gave me a delay in the incoming call like the OP is describing.
I've never tried Runny, so I can't confirm or deny its a specific issue with that ROM. But its possible.
This happens to MIUI also. So I think the problem goes deeper into the ROM.
Recently I have started noticing that Touch screen is not responsive on edges of the screen. This is actually annoying while using music players like player pro which has small buttons mainly placed around the edges of the screen. SometimesI have to tap like 2-3 times to register the touch.
Is this a hardware specif or software based problem. And is there anyway to fix this
BTW I'm using official ICS from sony on My Arc S
I want to know this too....
BTJ
I agree, it wasnt like this on GB tho.
Have this on both ICS and Gingerbread. Annoying in games and music players!!!

Anyone who has this that have flashed CM9 etc? Does it fix the problem? I have always thought it was hardware-related, sent mine to service but did not help.
Think it's kernel related. I'm on ICS and I'm not facing it with Doom Kernel, but I've faced with ArcKnight and XArc. I'm using Doom Kernel v04 without this problem. Still, I have this problem on Doom Kernel v05. Do some testing and flash different kernels.
The same problem
Anyone got an answer?
additionally, my problem is that I have to press very hard in other places for the touch screen responds

Hi guys,
My girlfriend just bought HTC Wildfire S. Unfortunately sometimes there is huge lag when unlocking the phone or answering a call. In other words the screen doesn't react to finger input for 2-3 seconds, then it unlocks/answers. It is very annoying. As I'm totally out of topic in development on Wildfire S, I am asking you to help me. Did someone had similar problem? I was thinking about changing a kernel or flashing a ROM to fix this issue, but I totally don't know what to choose in terms of stability and Sense interface.
Thanks in advance
It occurs due to the load our old processor take due to sense......... You can try a sense kernel or try an AOSP rom like CM7
Just what I thought. Any kernels worth trying?

If you are using a sense ROM I recommend Dust kernel or Cake kernel. People prefer cake one more because of stability.
And If you are thinking of going for CM7 speed mod kernel is good.

had the same problem after i updated from 2.3.3 to 2.3.5:crying:
if the phone is new i will suggest not to root it..(coz u need to use it for atleast a few months 2 make sure that the one u got is a stable and long lasting onejust 2 be sure)
there is a new ota update available now 4 wfs...try it out as it may sort out the problem..(i cannot as i am rooted & too lazy to unroot it again)
also u can try using 'advanced task killer/memory booster' or any other and customize it to kill running apps at a specific intervals to free up ram and speed up the system..(this may solve the problem in most cases)
also try not to fill up the internal memory:sillyyeah its too less)..and clean up the cache every now and then(easy cache cleaner etc)
these were the few simple,non-root and 'may solve ur problem' solutions..but if u want a 'definitely will solve ur problem' solution then root ur device and flash a kernel that supports overclocking:fingers-crossed:
Try to factory reset that solved my problem

If you're currently on a custom ROM, then you probably just need to tweak your CPU settings. I've given this advice to dozens of folks and they all said it worked for the symptoms you're describing.
If you're not a custom ROM, then you really should be.
Once you can tweak your CPU settings, set it to something like 600/768 (min/max) with the Smartassv2 governor and noop scheduler. I publicly guarantee you that your screen lag will go away (assuming you're not flooding your internal RAM by loading all kinds of useless **** into it )
Suerte,

Try another governor, try a perfamance governor first. Because when phone is in sleep mode for battery saving it slows down CPU and i think those 2-3 seconds is the time when cpu speed up till 600 MHz. On perfomance governor is always on max freq, but don't use it always because phone will use energy fast. If it helps that means this 2-3 sec lag you can solve with trying different governores. if helped press thanks and sorry for my bad english
So, my problem is that every ROM I flash that isn't htc sense, like cyanogenmod for instance, my ram fills up to the max. Progressively after using the phone for about an hour (it, generally being very, very fast), it'll slow right down. I got to my running apps to find out if anything is running up my ram, close everything, and I still have 0.0 bytes of free ram... like, wtf? I'm decently experienced with android coding and thought I'd seen it all.. Any help?
"EDIT"
Hey! Sorry for not checking back for so long, I thought the thread was dead.
Just to clarify me and Lars problem for anyone who's trying to help:
We can run any sense based rom 100% okay, I've even tried the new MIUI (sense based) and it works flawlessly(the ram issue I mean). With any ROM on ics or jb that is NOT sense based, our phone will freak out after a short amount of usage and lock up really horribly, to the point of complete silence from the device. It just won't do anything.
Now, I've managed to narrow down the problem myself, although I can't really act on it because I'm not experienced with coding at all. I believe the phones RAM gets taken up because of the com.android.media process. This process will open when the phone turns on and will try to scan for new media, although something strange happens. My RAM continues to fill up for as long as this process is running, the number or free mb slowly getting smaller, until it reaches zero. When this happens, the media process (along with most other processes that would still be running) throw themselves into a loop of restarting and restarting again, until I eventually manage to click the stop button. However, this doesn't help. The phone remains in it's intensively laggy state.
Can anyone help?

I've managed to discover more information about this problem, and it appears to be stemming from my SD Card. When my sd card is not inserted, media storage doesn't have to run. The phone runs smoothly when this happens, and I have almost 100 mb of RAM free. Although, once I insert the card, media storage starts up and eats up all the RAM on the device until the number reaches 0.0bytes free, in which case the device becomes inoperable. This trend will not change, and I'd like to see if anyone can help me out.
Many thanks,

I have the exact same problem. For me it came after a repair under warranty by HTC. Did you get a repair too? If so HTC probally screwed us.

No, because sadly it works fine with the HTC stock ROM so I can't call their bluff on it.. I need to figure this out though, sense is killing me. I need my aosp or miui fix ahha
same. but i dont know the problem than, for me it worked just fine on cm10 before the repair, flashed back to stock, send it in for repair, got it back, reflashed cm10 or any other cm based rom for that matter and had ram problems, so in my case i think htc screwed me. here's to hoping someone may know a fix

Well **** eh, you think that they'd still take it if the bootloader was relocked?
Probally not. I had mine relocked and had to make a big fuss in the store to get a free repair. They were gonna charge me €300 while the phone itself was €289 at that time. (And I only had the yellow spot screen problem....)

Ew, that's retarded man. I'm kinda dreading having this phone, the first one I got had it's antenna broken out of the box, that was gay. And this one, I can't change the rom or else it freaks out and has no ram.
Pissing me off so much man.
I know how you feel kinda wish I had just coped with the yellow spots, its less annoying than being stuck on sense...

Please read that scruffy. Android doesn't manage apps like windows does. Free ram is useless ram when it comes to android.
Hope that helps, also which governor for CPU you use? Could be a cause of the slowdowns also.

hi there.. sorry but this ain't a battery problem, its the phone slowing down.. i'm facing the same problem.. im on cm9 and phone lags so often.. i checked the ram and less than 20mb free while i did'nt use any app.. it shows only usual process (settings, launcher, google service, swiftkey, facebook, poweramp)
i have used cm9 for months without problems.. i tried some sense roms lately and revert back to cm9 and now i'm having these problems

hey
i didnt say it was a battery problem. the governor you use can greatly affect the speed of your phone. i usually use smartassv2, because it adjusts the cpu speeds to your usage.
ill say it again, free ram in android is wasted ram. processes get cached, held in the background in ram until they are needed again. because it says you have 20mb free of ram, thats 20 mb thats not being used, which means its useless ram. android task killer (built in by the way) automatically caches or closes old processes that arent in use anymore to make way for the stuff you do use.
dont shoot the messenger, im just explaining how it works. also i have noticed through testing supersick kernels with jb, that some make the phone lag more than others. if you are on cm9, i would advise you to upgrade to cm10, where kernel work is actively being done. ics kernels are not being developed anymore. simon is working on caf kernels and implementing ion, (dont ask me what we use right now, look through his kernel thread for his explanation) which he said what we use right now is not ideal for memory management. there are no guaruntees that what he implements will be pulled back into ics kernels.
cm10 (im on cdma btw) with supersick kernel 12-30 has been rock solid for me. no lag, no slowdowns, and great battery life.
sorry for the wall of text, hope that helps though
Well 20-30 mb free wouldn't be a problem because like you said android does manage things different than windows. But the OP and I have 0 bytes free ram right after boot, so we can't open any app at all, they all crash instantly. So that's our problem, not too little ram, since that's good on android, we have no free ram at all.

did you relock your bootloader and ruu back to stock? sounds like something went haywire in the unlocking/rooting/romming process. also did you flash multiple roms to see if its just the rom you are on? try cm, aokp, pa, sense, etc. eliminate all loose ends.
if you relock, ruu, and unlock/root/rom again with multiple roms/kernels, and the problem still isnt solved, id say you should contact htc. your mainboard may be going bad.
once again, dont shoot the messenger. im just trying to be helpful. gotta eliminate all possible causes before calling it a hardware defect.
Did do all those things indeed. They may have set me up with a faulty mainboard than (I send it to HTC for repair of the mainboard and after that this problem started) f you HTC.
By the way like we said, the problem isn't there on any sense based rom. Only cm/aosp based Roms. So it may not be the mainboard than I think right? If it was it would be on sense roms too I think.
Sent from my HTC One V using xda premium
are you cdma or gsm? and yeah, htc may have just got your phone, looked at it, laughed, and sent it back. i have heard many horror stories about companies not even working on stuff being sent in before sending it back out, or sending rejected stuff back out as warranty repairs.
strange that it only happens on aosp based stuff, do you use the task killer in sense? it goes against what i just said to say this, but heck, maybe try a task killer for android. or v6 supercharge your aosp based rom. something has to solve the problem.
I'm gsm. And they did fix my phone for sure since it wouldn't boot at all before the repair so I don't think they just send it back. Did supercharge the aosp rom, didn't help. And I don't use a task killer on sense so that can't be it.

I'm in the same boat. Stock runs fine but all aftermarket roms lag insanely. I've found SIO and NOOP schedulers to be the fastest and even put the CPU on performance and ran the clock up to the max, still lags to the point of being useless. I tried a few roms a few months ago so I forgot which ones but I just tried this ROM again yesterday: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1878994 and even w/o installing really any apps, after a half-day I tried to use the browser and got ridiculous lag. I just gave up on AOSP roms on this phone, least there's a plus, you get the burst camera w/ stock

Hey Mates,
After rooting my phone and installing SetCPU to underclock it so as to save some battery time..I created Screen OFF profile and a Battery level profile..
It works fine for some time(like a few hrs) but after that my phone goes down...I cant even power on it by simply holding the power button!
It doesnt show up anything while I do that..
I have to hold the Power button for 10-15 seconds so it makes a hard power on by blinking the Capacitive buttons On and Off!!
SetCPU worked very fine on my HTC Wildfire S...but donno why is it troubling me in HOX!
Has anyone else faced this problem? or what do u think is the problem and what would be an ideal solution?
Help would be greatly appreciated!!
Dont face this with setcpu, and there is not much info about your phone rom. But pls try trickster or no-frill softs to see if problem's gone or not. Then, we'll have more info for solution.
In case of customs rom, go searching in the rom thread if any similar problem?
Alternatively, reflashing rom might clear the issue.

oops sorry about that!
Im using a Stock Rom JellyBean with recent Sense 5 update..
Yeah...as u suggested been using No Frills for the whole day..no sign of Shutdown of Restart so far...and its working fine..
So..I guess SetCpu is the culprit...but I really like the profile feature in it..I dont think even the latest version of No Frills has such..
Would you suggest any app with that feature?? Or a solution for SetCpu with my current provided information?
Help would be great

- No-frills cpu has no profile function, but i'd prefer the soft as it's very light (small size) and battery friendly (not running on background). I can simply open nofrill to change when needed. Also, profiles are not really in frequent usage (the stock rom can manage battery effectively enough, and profiles even consume battery during monitoring the "if" conditions to be matched for activation).
- If you like profiles, go with setcpu. Try to uninstall and reinstall to see if it works. If not, try previous setcpu versions. Worst case, try reflash stock rom if no luck. My phone is also on stock 4.2.2 and no problem with setcpu so far.
- Trickster is more powerful with lots of settings to play with, but requires you more knowlegde to make the best out of it.

Screen off profile saves me a lot of battery rather than it consumes it!!
Tried with a stable previous version of SetCpu which used to work fine on Wildfire S..but that too didnt help..Same problem
How to reflash a Stock ROM? Custom Rom flashing is the thing I know ..but this is new..
And would changing kernel helps? If I should try whats a stable for HOX?

Flashing stock roms are similar to stock: download rom and flash with custom recovery. But flashing stock rom is just one of some other ways to return phone to stock (restore nandroid backup, running ruu, flashing ota update zip..)
You can find more details on Sticky post -general info of htc one x, including kernels and many interesting stuffs (mod, scripts...) if you want to go deeper.
