[QA] Anyone getting frequent FC'ing with JB? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hey folks,
Is anyone else noticing fairly frequent FC'ing of apps in JB? Generally when closing them or something?
Some issues are to be expected, just wondered if anyone else is experiencing it.
Using the stock bootloader, radio image too.
Before install I cleared caches + davlik too.

Everyone's having FC issues with JB.
It's a new version of Android, you should expect that. The apps just need to catch up to it.

I half expected it, just wanted to make sure I wasn't alone. It doesn't happen often enough to be a great concern.

No...no.
Not everyone is.
I never did. And I ran it for three days...with heavy use.
You should really be wiping data as well, my friend.
This would probably be why you're seeing FC's.

I did.
I wiped cache, factory reset / data and the davlik cache in CWM before I even installed the rom. There is nothing else I could have wiped. lol

OP led me to believe you only wiped cache.
My apologies.

I have flashed like three JB roms within the past week and a half, and have used each of them heavily. I don't think I have seen that force close pop-up yet. So yes, not everyone has these problems, and fully wiping is a great thing. I always: wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, format system, format data, flash SuperWiteLite, then flash my rom (exactly in that order) and have never had a single problem with JB in general.

I've only had one app force close.
if you're having multiple apps force close, it may help if you fix permissions.

I'm only getting FC's on the twitter app.

That explains it. Twitter and Facebook app. Those are the two I've noticed it on. Nothing else.

Specific apps just aren't playing well with JB. There isn't even a full 4.1 SDK yet. Give it some time. Gotta remember there's no official JB updates yet, so you can't really expect apps to be updated for it.

I expected issues. What I am looking for is confirmation from other users of these crashes and that it isn't just my handset.

[Q] Anyone else notice the amazon app store being a battery hog recently?

Ever since the latest update, well actually since the old version started asking me to update, the amazon appstore has been in the top 2 apps for battery usage. I don't remember this being the case before.
Just me?
Disable notifications and automatic updates, seems to have no effect after that

I haven't had it with Amazon Appstore but I've had it with random apps here and there. Generally something gets hung up in the app and keeps it running in the background. I've found that clearing the cache (and in some cases clearing data) will fix it.
Good luck!

I cleared cache, uninstalled, and reinstalled fresh and that fixed it.
The app itself is much more responsive now, was really really laggy before so something was definitely off.

[Q] Getting Old Mobile Facebook UI, But Why?

Hey everyone,
When I go to use facebook via the stock browser, it brings up the old Mobile Facebook UI. This has only started happening recently, after installing ProxyDroid and activating it for the first time over my university's network. When I was simply rooted and had AdAway activated the current Mobile Facebook UI (that's similar to the Facebook app) would be displayed.
Why is this? Nothing's really changed. Is there any fix for this? Googling gets me nothing.
It started for me today too. I'd rather use the mobile site because the app sucks and is a huge battery hog.

I was speaking to a friend of mine, and he has said that despite uninstalling ProxyDroid, it may still be messing with the Nexus' proxy settings. So I'm going to install it again and clear all the settings. If that doesn't fix it, I'm considering going in and removing any trace of ProxyDroid from root (or just in the Android folder over ADB).
If it's an issue with Facebook though, well... That sucks.
SOLVED:
I just had to clear the stock browser's cookies and cache a few times. Not sure why didn't fix it the first time. Oh well.

Thanks for that mate ... I was having the same issue on my Galaxy S2, didn't know why it was happening but it just suddenly started doing it. I thought it may have been 'cos I had recently flashed a new rom. So I flashed back to stock but that didn't fix it.
I then came across this thread of yours and did as you did, cleared cache and cookies a few times and it seems to have fixed it
thanks again.

Worked for me. Damn that mobile site is a killer. I actually installed friendcaster because of it ! LOL

It reverted to the old UI for me again after updating to IMM76I. Wiping cache and cookies did nothing, so I went into CWM and wiped my cache and dalvik cache. That fixed it.

darkside wipe.
Our just clear everything and use Odin to flash stock ics rom.

settings .. applications .. all .. tap on maps and clear data.. you will lose any saved addresses .. but the nice lady will now direct you to where you are going and not keep repeating the same street over and over.. :good:

Thanks guys will try your suggestions and report back.

@boricua,
did ever get it fixed.
The suggestion to clear the data of maps was a temporary fix. At first it worked, then after awhile( about a day) it gets stuck again.
Did this work for you?
or did you find another way

Yup, clearing cache helps but I also find out it came back after a while. Hopefully this will be fixed on the next maps update since it seems like a bug.
Same here on Google Nexus phone. :crying:
How can I install another TTS engine? I only can select Google.
Thanks

I had the same issue, but I followed your advice and the problem is now resolved. Also the addresses that were "starred" on google maps synced back to my phone. Thanks again!

I think I have a HW issue (Font and Video)

I got my T999 (Blue 16gb, latest CM10.1 nightly) in July and noticed it had a weird issue with the font having extra pieces added to it, this was using TouchWiz. I figured it must be an issue with TW. I rooted and put CM10 on it and it was still there, and its still there with CM10.1 Also when playing videos using HBOGO, MAXGO, and MX Player (streaming videos via the TV Portal app) I have horrible video quality, it looks like the video isn't being decoded correctly. My dad has the same phone as me, but running stock and has the same issues with video as me. Has anyone had the same problem with video or with the font, if so what did you do to fix it? I really don't want to have to deal with support of having to get a new device and restore this one to factory settings, as well as resetting the flash counter. I've included some screen shots of my problems.
You should try to flash to a stock rom or Odin a factory image back to the phone. That way you can tell if it is a software issue or hardware. Remember to wipe data/ clear cache/ clear davik cache/ and fix permission too for good measure.

Just did an Odin factory image as well as clearing everything and fixing permissions. The issues are still there.
Then it looks to be hardware defects. No choice but to do an exchange.

[Q] GS3 Battery High Android System Usage

Hi there
I've got the Samsung GS3 i747 running 4.1.1 and my battery life on my GS3 is quite bad.
from 100% charge using battery save mode, dim screen, no live wall papers, no sync my battery lasts on average 8 hrs.... i had to purchase 2 additional batteries just to ensure i have enough battery for a day. I ensure i don't have multi tasking apps and i clear the ram as often as i can and i do not excessively use the phone, occasionally check emails and text messages
When i check battery usage i get this:
android system 25%
phone 14% (I didn't even call anyone today...)
Android OS 12%
MAPservicesamsung 10%
screen 10%
other apps
Would anyone know if there are any particular apps that are culprits of using high OS/ System usage?
Thank you!!

Yeah, i checked out other threads where i read restricting Rogers Visual Voice mail app, Samsun account, samsung apps, samsung backup provider, samsung cloud data relax, samsung push services. but even with those "frozen" my usage is still very high
If you are on stock, atleast on at&t stock, there was a typo in amount of current used by system, which in turn falsified the report. So if you are on stock, maybe that would be worth looking into.
This has been corrected in custom ROMs.
And unless, your battery is don't fast, this shouldn't really be a matter of concern.
Also, install some app like better battery stats to check for any rogue app.

I have my device stock and rooted and i removed some of the bloatware. I've used AVG antivirus software but still no change.
Would posting any other information be of help to diagnose the problem?
I've noticed the high system usage only when i upgraded to jellybean. On Ice Cream Sandwich my highest usage was screen.

What all did you wipe before updating? As with custom ROMs, there can still be issues changing firmware (even stock firmware to stock firmware) without doing a full wipe. If you have not done so, and have exhausted all measures of research, I would backup and wipe data/cache, reflash, wipe again, enjoy

Using BetterBatteryStats, i've found that Partial Wakelocks has high MediaScannerServices.
Is there a way of disabling this? I've read that downloading rescan media root from the market would help but it hasnt in my case. i thought of manage applications and disable media storage obviously all it did was disable my external SD.
I don't get that cos I freeze gallery app. I use it only when I need to change my lock screen wallpaper.
I use quickpic as gallery app replacement.

Did you try wiping dalvik in recovery and checking?
If you are looking at battery usage from settings, it won't be reset until battery is at 100% again.

no luck one again. do you think changing to a different ROM could possibly fix the issue? or would I simply be wasting time in doing so?

if your issue is still unresolved, i would back up your texts, pics, vids, etc. if you make a titanium backup, please do not backup or restore system apps. i would boot into stock recovery and wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache. then i would snag odin and flash the latest official stock firmware from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1968625&highlight=stock+firmware. next, boot into stock recovery and wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache again. reboot and let the phone chill for a few before going nuts with it. after setting up your account, just install the basic apps you need or will use over the next 24 hours. dont barrage it with everything all at once. report back
