So this morning for no apparent reason my phone started freaking out and was flashing FC's on the screen, it appeared to be every app installed, Google, Touch Pro, etc... I pulled the battery, then re-booted and it just started over. I finally went back into CWM and reloaded SFR, then Genocide, then re-enabled Journaling (ran the zip) and everything seems to be okay now (except the battery has been sucking juice worst than being on stock). Just wonderin if anyone else has experienced this? I honestly didn't do anything to the phone, it was in my holster, I pulled it to check email. I love this rom, and I'd rather not go back to stock... thanks for any help.
Sounds like a bad flash. Flash it again only wipe before you do. Do a nand restore>advanced restore data from a known good nand.

and dont forget to calibrate your battery after a fresh rom flash.
This has happened to me on sfr 1.2, 3 times now. For no good reason. I ended up having to reinstall rom a few times when other fixes failed. Since I enabled journaling its been a good boy though.

Thanks all, I did flash again (and yep, wiped x3 before doing it). I had journaling on to begin with (or at least I thought I did, I ran the zip to turn it on). We'll see how it plays out today. I love this rom.... Thanks for all the help.

I had a similar problem when I didn't have Journaling ON so double-check to make sure that you have the turned on after you reflash the ROM.

Yeah I always turn Journaling on after I flash. It did it again today (for no apparent reason), all of a sudden I started getting FC's (from LauncherPro), so I couldn't get to the home screen or anything. I finally wiped everything again (x3 of course), reinstalled the Rom, then the Kernel, then turned Journaling On, then restored my last backup. It's getting just a little bit old, has anyone else had the problem of LauncherPro just FC for no apparent reason? Thanks!

At this point, I would try downloading the ROM again. I would also check out different Kernel. I'm using Genocide 2.0 and it works perfectly.

We have the same thing with my Wife's phone. It started after her phone shut down from low battery. Then BOOM Force Closes, in Swype and Google Apps. I had to do a full wipe 3x and reload the ROM to get it to work again. MAJOR PITA!
Especially because she is much less forgiving of phone "flakyness" than I am.
Thoughts?

That's how I got it back to working. The 2nd time was from Launcher Pro FC'ing, but I wiped it again and re-imaged the Rom and Kernel. Then turned Journaling back on. I think it just gets in a "weird" state sometimes. It takes me about 3 minutes to re-run everything (including the backup once I re-image) and I guess I just don't see it as any worst than stuff I have to do to PC's all day long when testing....haha
Same happened to me. Just reinstalled rom and kernel

Okay so since I flashed the Google images from 41d to 41f after it gets past the boot animation it comes up to android is updating each time. Anyone else out there experiencing this or is it suppose to happen? Not big deal just wondering.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
Do you have an update file on your Storage? Perhaps it's looking for one at every bootup?
Just a guess.
I have same problem. Could you be more specific? For what exactly to look and where?
Mine did that before and after flashing. Seen it happpening in video reviews when the phone boots up too...very common?
Nope wiped the "sdcard" and fastboot the whole image from google.
Glad I'm not the only one out there having this happen.

Okay I got it to stop but here is what I did and now understand what it does.
Wipe dalvik and cache
Flashed this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1372376
It then rebuilt the dalvik cache and cache on first boot and havent seen it since
Maybe if one of you are will to try this method out to see if it keeps happening
Wipe dalvik and cache
Then reboot
If that works then its just dalvik cache and cache that needed to be cleared out.
Just tried your last suggestion and it didn't work. The only difference was, that after wipe cache and restart, android upgrading start optimizing the applications. This take about 3 minutes (it's deppends of how many apps you have). After second reboot it just say Android updating and start immediately after that. I'm start thinking this is not a bug, but a feature.
Mine's done it since I bought it, just figured it was a feature.
well i think its just starting all the background services before you get to the homescreen... maybe to prevent laggs in the first seconds after start?

Most probably for both reasons
Maybe we will find out more since they just release 4.0.2
At least I am not the only one. Makes me feel a little better...but with over 100 apps it takes a while to finish...grumble.

It's completely normal, doesn't anyone use the search function on this forum?
Ok, you say it's normal, all i know is that when i used a stock ROM with no mods/tweaks, just CWM and SuperSU it didn't happen
After the ICS update on my non-rooted phone, the phone seems to be freezing
up and becoming unresponsive. After a while it looks like the radio "resets", all
the icons disappear in the top bar (signal, wifi, data) and it shows no service.
Then slowly one by one they all come back and I can use the phone again.
Sometimes I receive the "System is not responding" dialog box, but not always.
There is not one particular program it is doing this in, it can be something as
simple as pulling down the notification bar that will cause the freeze.
Any suggestions are appreciated, I couldn't find anyone else with the same issue.
Thanks.
Try:
Turn off phone
Take out SIM
Put SIM back
Turn on
I've had my phone act weird with respect to signal, wifi and data when this was the issue. Worth a shot, at the very least.

Thank you for the response.
Tried this and had the system is unresponsive issue right on reboot. If I do a
factory reset, does it reset to the current firmware or what was originally on the
phone (probably a really stupid question). I wonder if some other program isn't
ICS compatible and is doing something in the background. Doesn't look like
anyone else is having this same issue.

If you do a factory reset and it was the standard Kies legit update from Tmo, it won't downgrade your phone - will just re-install a fresh copy of your ICS. Did you do a restore of apps from your last version (gb?) with data? That could cause problems I would think..

Yes I did the legit update on Kies, standard stock phone un-rooted.
Do I need to backup pictures before the reset, its been a while since
I had to do this.
At this point, I think its worth a try to wipe it clean and clear out all the
data.

wipe the dalvik cache and cache then reboot
I did a factory reset and that solved the issue.
Thanks for all the assistance.
I've done a factory reset and wiped the cache more than once already and i still get a force close or unresponsive, enough that its really irritating me now. Any advice? And also, when texting, the typing responds very slow.

Are you letting it sit for like 10 minutes during first boot after factory reset then reboot again before setting up. Its likely that some scripts are running from the initial installation and you need to let it rot until its done..
I did exactly that, thanks for the advice. Hoping that may fix the problem. I wiped the cache and factory reset, then let the phone sit for a good while before going through the play store and re-installing everything.
This issue just resurfaced again. The last 2 days I am getting the freezing, radio reboot and android process not responding.
No one else having this issue?
I think I'm in the same boat. I was stock GB, and just did the mini OTA update (which was great). A few days later ICS became available via Kies from T-Mobile, and I "upgraded".
Since the upgrade my phone is laggy, screen is significantly less responsive and also my battery life is less than before.
I have NOT done a factory reset of my phone yes (plan on doing that today), but even with that I have read that performance does not improve.
Ideally, I would love to return back to the stock tmobile gb firmware. However, even after literally 2 hours of reading I can't find the "how-to" and files I need.
I would appreciate any assistance.
t989 chip lags
ive notice this happen on my tmobile galaxy s2. i think it has to do with the Qualcomm chip on tmobiles stock roms.
When i had sprint i bought my girlfriend a galaxy s2 on the sprint network which runs the samsung exynos chip. She never complained about any lag or freezing whatsoever. I then left sprint because of their garbage network and joined tmobile.
bought 2 galaxy s2s and i noticed the lag almost immediately. The phone has random lag spikes as well as freezing and force closes. It had it on stock gingerbread and it has it on stock ICS too.
My girlfriend complains about freezing all the time so i decided to root her phone too. Right now im testing DarkSides v7 rom and if its pretty good in performance i will flash her phone with it too. So far it has been pretty snappy and everything works.

follow that first post. i went through exactly the same problems and found this guide and am now happy again and running stock GB on my Galaxy S2.
Because you are on stock ics (im guessing you are..), you can just follow that guide and flash the UVLDE update.
Yes clock resets to standard standard time.. I already did a factory reset and worked done for a couple weeks. My wife has same phone and she is getting the freeze ups now.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll give it a try. But it really shouldn't be necessary on a phone that's got more going for it than the stock nexus that 1st came out with ics.

Today my note 2 started freezing. It has never done this and I do not know what is causing it. It is still doing it. Im not doing anything in particular, just using the phone and it freezes and takes 10 or 15 seconds to come back. Ive taken out the battery, updated apps, and it is still freezing. Im stock. How can I figure out what is causing it to mess up?
Any number of applications could be causing this problem.
Try the basics first.
Clear caches for your applications....and you can also boot into the stock recovery and wipe the cache there.
Also check any new applications you have recently added to the device. If the problem persists after clearing caches and rebooting, then you can look deeper.
Hardware issues are always possible but it's early in the diagnosis and I doubt hardware is bad at this point. ...g

How do I clear the applications cache?
Menu-settings-applications manager...
Once there, you can see each application, and clean it's cache one by one if you choose.
By booting into recovery, you can clean the cache for the entire device and all of it's applications at one time.....g
Any new hardware lately that uses BT 4.0, like a Fitbit Flex? I've noticed reboots since I got my Flex. I run Perseus kernel, so it could be the newest update, but my wife runs full stock unrooted and said her phone restarted this weekend. She has a Fitbit Flex paired with her phone also.

I posted it in this thread because my phone is also freezing, as it just did, before restarting and getting stuck at boot screen, requiring a battery pull. OP says that he has tried battery pulls, so I assume his is freezing to the point that he must pull the battery.
It's on topic and relevant.
When a poster asks how application caches are cleared, it's generally not a good idea to post blue tooth pairing issues don't you agree ??
I think this thread needs to go a bit slower than that, while the OP has a chance to read and learn a bit more first.
Just a thought....and sorry for the highjack OP, we are all trying to help.....g
Recently I have observed the strangest behavior with my phone running cm10.
Whenever I am in this particular classroom, everything works fine until i open google chrome, the phone screen will start flickering and the reception bar instantly drops to 0, battery bar drains completely empty (or so it appears), and the phone screen hangs. The only way to recover from that is by pulling the battery. However the syndrome comes back without having to open the chrome the 2nd time and on.
The only way to completely recover from that is by pulling the battery and leaving the phone off, get out of the culprit classroom, go underground, get on the train and then turn the phone back on. That's when it will start behaving normal with remaining battery level intact. Turning the phone back on before I get underground will still bring back the problem even if I have already walked half mile from the campus.
This is simply beyond my comprehension. I don't know if the problem is caused by some sort of signal interference that exist in that room(I have never experienced this in other rooms prior to this semester). Why is it only triggered by operating chrome? And finally, why is it fixed by such an unorthodox method?
That sounds too crazy to be true...

Sounds like you need a fresh/clean install or you could try to wipe the chrome apps data and cache. You might even uninstall chrome and reinstall or yet wipe chrome data,cache and reboot recovery and wipe cache and dalvik. Short of that I agree w/the alien idea....lol. Get yourself an aluminum foil hat..

isn't chrome bundled with gapps for CM/AOSP releases? OP could try reflashing gapps and wiping cache and dalvik. plus investing in an aluminum foil case wouldn't hurt, to prevent alien/government interference of course
