I recently installed the new RunnyRom 6.0 ROM, so it is my current ROM. With the previous version, at random intervals, my phone would either freeze after doing some simple task such as turning on the mobile network or just at random. At other times, the phone would not respond after the screen goes blank.
I am at my wits end and might end up throwing my phone at a wall. I've tried increasing the minimum CPU speed to no avail and other remedies from googling.
Must I buy a new phone? (my warranty is up btw, so I can't send it away back to HTC or the store I bought it from)
Before you say you are at your wits end, have you even tried flashing an entirely different rom to see if the issue presents itself again?
via xda app
Or a faster sd-card !
do you have ext on your sdcard and some kind of app2ext script?
Something like this?
It's a combination of sd card, sd-ext scripts running on it and bad reception. For me, the only ROM that doesn't have this problem is RSK v6.

I have, that's the reason I went from CM7 to Oxygen and back to Sense.

I think this could be the problem, but I'll need to buy another card today to see. As for some reason my current card keeps getting errors when I connect it to my pc.

I believe RunnyRom v6 has that.

I will try to switch back to CM7/Oxygen and see if the problems persist with the same frequency.
Go back to CM7 than Oxygen to test. Oxygen uses a script if an ext partition is detected. You wanna try and see if your phone will work well without any ext partition and CM7 doesn't support it out of the box.
Or if you can't help not having ext partition because of your apps, how about you format your sd card, repartition and start fresh.

So as I did a full wipe and reinstalled CM7, lo and behold, the phone freezes on me in the 4ext recovery screen. Wiped again and tried to reinstall RunnyRom, same thing.
Seems like hardware issue if you get freezes even on recovery. You can flash a stock rom as a last verification but since you don't have warranty you might as well consider it as a reason to get a new phone.
There's the HTC One series or if you can still wait a bit longer, Galaxy S III is about to make a debut this May.

I think I will need to settle for something a bit cheaper.
However, I have noticed that if my mobile network is on, most times it will freeze my phone if I use any app that uses internet such as Whatsapp, facebook or Google+. Not sure if that might be relevant. (I am on a CM7 ROM and it still freezes so it is most definitely a hardware problem I would agree with).
I had a similar problem with my HTC Desire. I was on the road a lot and noticed that when I came near certain areas, my phone froze. I think it was because of a bad radio or something like this.
Does it happen when you are in airplane mode?
I flashed the new CM9 and the problem stopped.
Alternatively, it didn't happen with the sandvold-ICS.
Have you tried flashing with a new SD-Card?

Never tried it with airplane mode on. There's less freezing with MildWild 4.4 but occasionally it will freeze.
I had this issue once with ics and drewis kernel, on tiamat no problems at all
From using Mildwild 4.4 I've realized that when my phone rings, the ringtone will not play and if I answer it as soon as the call ends the screen will not wake up. If I ignore the call and open any application, the phone will freeze. In both cases I will need to remove the battery.
Sometime fixing permissions from recovery sorts out freezing issues

Tried that too. No major change.
same exact problem, i'm running runnymede AIO, phone freezes often, especially when i'm at home where signal is not good.
i've got the feeling is mainly related to whatsapp, but it's just a feeling.
phone usually freezes when i wake it up from standby, the lockscreen ring does not respond.
it never freezes when in airplane mode.
i think i'll try a different phone part, then a different rom, it's a pity since this one performs really well for my needs.
sorry for my english, if i fix this i'll post here, cheers.

I think my problem was mainly the sd card as it deleted all of my photos and then randomly stopped reading in my phone.
I switched sd cards and ROMs and so far no freezes.

I got my phone last monday and today my phone was lagging while swipping through home screens, app drawer and even in settings. It was like project butter was shutdown and I was back to the epic 4g. Thought kind strange giving the specs on this phone.. I have stock jb and no root.
After a restart everything went back to normal.
Just curious, does this happen to everyone here? Is this normal to happen after 2-3 days of use?

You must not be actually closing apps just hitting home I assume but if not then idk the problem

Yes I did close them... I even tried force closing all. Not sure why the phone was struggling a little.
you didn't enable power saving mode by any chance?
also, android should be fairly good at managing your memory. i believe google doesn't really recommend task killers because whenever you kill tasks that the OS needs, it'll just reload it, which itself consumes resources (maybe more resource than letting the process simply idle). so just leave those processes alone.
Are you running SetCPU? Make sure it didn't accidentally severely under clock you. That happened to me once and SETCPU was running me at 200 mhz for some reason.

I would double check on all the apps you've previously installed. I'm still on stock JB unrooted as well since released day (Oct 25), not once I've experience any lag that yours producing. Heck I've loaded a bunch of games and apps now my main storage is down to a gig, even then I haven't noticed any slow down. This phone is a beast thats all I can say.

Yeah, thats unfortunate because if anything the phone should speed up after a few days of use. Why don't you just keep it to the 1 thread you started in the GT 7100 forum? You already got 4 pages of responses there. And post a video of what you're talking about because the phone should not lag at all with power savings off.

I didn't strat a thread there... just replied to one and it was a different are of problem anyway..
Guys.. I didn't install any task killer, I just force off using that long pressing home button and going into running apps, the phone, no power saving mode on, still unrooted and very few apps. I use Android for 3 years and I looked all the places to make sure settings would not be causing this and it was not.
Really weird problem... it's fine now I just hope it keeps running this way by tomorrow.. I'll let you all know, if anything I'll make a video if I can reproduce.

Don't close the apps down just back out of them because you'll lag more when your phone sits there trying to open them all up again and cache them. But I agree its a strange problem, if this occurs againit might be something very specific.

That's strange. Yeah I would pay close attention to the problem and if it do come back, then maybe you probably have a bad note II. You never know, not everything are created equal. In that case I would take it in for a repair person to check it out.
Is there a way to know if all cores are running on stock Android?
I've also seen some sick battery life in this phone, but not on mine. Yesterday I got 12 hours with about 3 1/2 of screen, with few and short phone calls. What I used the most on this phone was the internet and the browser..
Not sure if these are related.
EDIT.... I installed CPU usage Monitoring and the 4th core stays off most of the time.. when I opened videos and messed with more apps it started working so I'm answering myself on that. Also, I played a video with the pop up function and the cpu only gets to about 30% and not even on all cores... wow.. the processing power here is really impressive.

Hi,
History:
I have a problem with my Nexus. It randomly reboots. Nothing seems to help.
It started after a few months after I was rooted on CyanogenMod 10.0. In 3 days, it quickly escalated to a reboot every 10 minutes on average.
A factory reset (without user apps installed on it) on CynogenMod reduced the frequency (every hour?), but didn't eliminate it.
Unrooting to stock Jellybean 4.1.2 seemed fine only in the first week. The problem came back afterwards, and updating to JB 4.2.1 didn't help.
Now, 2 months on stock ROM, I get even more random times. Sometimes it is 2 times a day, sometimes once a week.
Just before it:
I get a metallic screeching noise for 1-2 seconds, and immediately following that, device turns off with a "pang". Although these days I HAVE had situations that the sound came for up to 3 seconds (and the screen freezes), but the phone worked normally afterwards.
What happens:
It randomly reboots. The rebooting is at irregular intervals, whatever i was doing on it (even when not using it).
What happens after:
It takes much, much longer to startup again. It can get stuck at the "Google" logo screen for up to 5min. It doesn't take this long to reboot if I shut it down myself.
Any ideas? What causes this? Is it software or hardware?
Can I even send it for warranty if I cannot reproduce the problem?
I don't want to send it to warranty if I don't have to. I don't want to loose my phone for I don't know how long.
Hi, what's your eMMC version? Maybe buggy memory, try looking at other threads.

I'm new to this eMMC thing, but according to an app my eMMC Type is V3U00M. To check whether it is buggy or not it needs root, which I don't currently have. If it IS buggy, I don't have a choice but to bring it for warranty right?
No, I have not tried to changed batteries. I don't have other batteries. But can the problem really lie with the battery? Btw, my phone is less than 8 months old.

Well, I am planning to root again. I want to switch back to CyanogenMod 10.1. Lagfix app isn't needed if you can use -discard mount option right? How to use either, if let's say I'm on CyanogenMod. This is also the first time I hear of lagfix and discard mount... :/
Btw, the app i used to check my eMMC Type said that my chip is ok. No brickbug. Are you sure it's buggy?

I might be wrong here, but from what I've read at the link and other xda posts (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2029246), the V3U00M chip is not buggy (in the sense that it's stable for rooting and using the -discard command), but it does give slowdowns. I do have horrible slowdowns, so thanks for that solution I didn't know existed. However, this doesn't solve my random reboot problem at all...
No one else got any solid way to find out the source of the problem?

Same as you man...
I'm seriously considering throwing my phone to the garbage. I don't like iPhones, but google is really pushing me into it with this crappy piece of phone. Is so frustrating to have these rebooting issues, I've tried everything, from wipe to factory reset, back to stock, flash custom ROMS and KERNELS, turning location access off, uninstalling all apps/widgets that might interfere, and every single "solution" it's out there, and STILL I'M HAVING THESE DAMN REBOOTS!
Now it's even worse, I can't even transfer files to my phone anymore because, guess what... IT REBOOTS! everytime I transfer ANY KIND of file.
The only thing that seems to work for a while is reformatting and start from scratch. I've done that like 3 times already. But still after a few weeks the issue reapears... i'm really mad about this, and no one seems to care. Not Google and not even Samsung.
The only interesting thing that i found around the internet is this guy's findings
plus.google.com/113601948978986762347/posts/2ALASEC1dG2
I read the log on my phone and matches to his... but now the thing is, what do i do with this information? I'm not a programmer o something like that.
Any ideas?
I think your board is faulty. Even so, have you tried disabling SR and raising voltages across the board? Trimming eMMC? Omapflash?

He is saying that you have root you need to install trickster mod from the play store. Open the app and go to specific. Then disable the smart reflex toggles and click the oké button in the upper right corner see if that works. If it doesnt re enable smart reflex and go tot MPU voltages. Next to the words MPU voltages there is a blue plus/minus button. Click that and click the plus one time. Accept it and push again the oke button. The other two things I dont exactly know..

Honestly, if you are getting reboots on a clean stock (including stock kernel) , it's probably a hardware issue.

The thing is that after a clean stock install everything works fine for a week or two, that means no random reboots, and i can transfer any kind of file of any size with no problem. Then for some estrange reason (even with no crazy apps installed) starts with a random reboot, after that first reboot i know is time and that i wont be able to transfer files anymore, because it WILL reboot while i'm transfering files. Other thing i have noticed is that around where the camera lens is, get really hot. So I think that the reason it reboots is kernel panic caused by overheating, or the other thing is that my sdcard have some issues when writing files.
Right now i'm using CyanogenMod 10.0.0-maguro with jelly bean 4.1.2 and franco.kernel 3.0.51-nightly-512GPU and i have already tried going back to stock.
how can a I check if my hardware is fine? Is there any app out there?
Thanks!

512GPU? You mean your GPU is overclocked? Maybe try to set your GPU to stock. And if it gets really hot and you have random reboots you can try to over volt with trickster mod.

No, I don't think my GPU is overclocked, that's the full name of the kernel, you say that the kernel automatically puts my GPU to 512?. Anyways i just installed that kernel two days ago just because i thought it might make the reboots go away. I'm having rebooting problems since february (just after upgrading to 4.2.1), so i don't think that the GPU is causing the reboots.

Ok so I just got my n7 32 gb its all stock havent even signed in on a google account.
So anyway i was testing it for performanec and see that it doesnt have any of the defects
I would like some of you that own one (preferably if youre still on stock but all tests are good) to try this as well.
Go to developer options (enabled by mashing build number in about device a bit)
check the show pointer location option
use 3-4 fingers on the screen and create some swirls.
Result:
now.. for me on my S3 i can do this and basically fill up the screen with blue traces before it stops being smooth
but on my n7 after make 3-4 loops with each finger it starts stuttering and the tracing of the lines start lagging (
I was hoping you guys can try to recreate and let me know your results.
Also if you have any ideas why it is behaving this way (bad touch sensor? underclocked by accident? ) I am more than appreciative of any thoughts
also if you can submit benchmark results that would be great.. i plan to run benchmarks on mine when i get home (not sure what bm apps are the ones to use) but in order to see that it performs on par with stock nexus 7s on that end.
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.. i dont want to send this back and im almost hoping this is not something experienced by only me
Try Antutu or quadrant. Best benchmarkers.

I tried on my 16gb wifi N7. I don't think I'm seeing what you see, but it's really hard to see whether there's any lag after the screen is filled with marks so I'm not too sure. I also have an LTE N7, Note 8, GNex, and Galaxy tab 10.1 I could try it on. But first I have to run to work!

Hmm.. it would seem something is wrong with mine then.. cuz i get the laggy behavior quite fast.. i will try a factory reset when i get home and run benchmarks to see what values I have.
I wonder what the cause could be..

gets laggy after half of screen fills up. No lag before that.
Hello!
Im new to this forum but have used it for rooting my phones and suck for about a year now. Any way i bought a note 2 yesterday and noticed how slow it was compared to my lg optimus g. i then put me and my friends note 2 beside each other and turned it on. mine takes about a extra 20 seconds longer. Why can this be happening? Im rooted running stock 4.2.1 rom.

This does NOT matter. The LG would be more optimized from factory with less carrier bloatware and as such can boot in a shorter time.
You mentioned "lag", but you didn't state the lag you were referring to. My AT&T Note2 play all games that I've thrown at it so far, flawlessly. I'd like to see your benchmark scores that you used in your comparison.
Your original post is like comparing the boot times of DOS vs. Windows8. Certainly DOS will always load faster (as there isn't anything to load on boot), but it doesn't necessarily mean that the Windows8 PC is lagging because it has more practical things doing.

PS: The Adreno GPU in the OptimusG would suck in comparison to the Mali in the Note2
I turn on my note 2 and it takes about 5 minutes to turn on. it also shows i have no internal memory on it. if you would like a video i can upload it. its unbearable. if this is how laggy touchwiz is no thanks.
...5 minutes to turn on. That's not right. My phone does 12 seconds with the stock ROM
Your device needs to be restored to a stock ROM for further testing. Even if your device was underclocked, it can't possibly boot that slow.

Could be a slow microSD that is slowing the phone down.
Or too much stuff on the phone. .music vids pics etc
As anon-unk suggested. .. might need a factory reset

Have tried multiple resets and rom flashs in both odin and cwm. still says no internal storage and lag so bad the phones unusable.
Does your device show the proper IMEI number and is the EFS folder intact ?
You may have partition damage ...but it's too early to tell...g
