I am running stock 3.29.651.5. Ever since I updated, my battery performance has decreased, my web browser has become very choppy, and overall, the phone just isn't as responsive. The previous build ran beautifully on my Evo. Anyone else having issues?

PEACE,
YES!! It appears that my browser cant even get some pages (or it takes forever to load ---for instance XDA). I use Gtalk (I know most of you consider it BLOATWARE) and i barely can connect or 3G or 4G. My best connection is Wi-Fi which is good--when I'm home...not so good when I'm at work. I've ran the wimax test on my phone through Terminal Emulator and it stated that my wimax keys are still in tact and i have installed the latest radio...*shrugging shoulders*

I am running rooted stock (myn's I believe) with no issues... my other evo is stock 3.29 and had battery issues for the second and third days running but has since smoothed out....
Edit... using Sprint Lovers stock-ish 3.29 from over at ppcg
I have rooted odexed Rom and I can't rip out the Sprint bloatware. It's driving me insane. DC 3.6 can't come fast enough

I'm definitely having issues with gtalk..I can always connect via wifi but for some reason 3g has issues. I can connect with other 3rd party apps though, like beejive and trillian.
I am also having some issues. Used to get around 20hrs or so under moderate use. Now it seems to be more like 12 possibly 16. I get a very weak signal at work and this new update seams to drain much quicker. been thinking about rooting. Have done a lot a reading but not 100% sure how to do it yet.
same problem here. So I read elsewhere to check your Accounts and Sync in the settings. The update reenabled sync for stocks, weather and peep....which once I turned back off, my battery is fantastic!

I can't signin to GTalk since the update. I cleared the data, but that didn't help. What exactly does GTalk do?
Yeah already turned the sync back off. Gonna try rooting with unrevoked. Seems pretty simple to do.
I have had stock everything since I purchased my phone, no rooting or anything and have never had any issues with my phone at all. Since the 3.29 update, I think my phone is actually running better. The screen transitions on all my programs seem smoother, even the 4G load animation is smoother. Battery life is the same as before, crappy but I use my phone ALOT for work. I just don't know if I am just lucky or it is becuase I am using the phone as it was intended from Sprint.

Just a question, not being a smart ass, but what made you join these forums if you haven't done anything to your phone? I'm truly intrigued by the different things I can do, and I like reading about what I can possibly do.
I've been having an issue with audio applications.
If I pause a song or podcast (whether it be in the stock Music application, Google Listen, or Audio Book Player), leave the application for a while, and return there is a very high chance the song or podcast will restart from the beginning. Likewise if I do the same in Pandora the application fill crash on me.
This is mostly annoying because 90% of what I listen to on my phone are podcasts and lectures. Not being able to easily pick up where I left off is irksome.
Has anybody else had this issue?
have you tried pulling out the battery? i had alot of problems with the phone after update and so did my parents. after i pulled battery it starting working alot smoother and battery life has been alot better.

Well normally you would report bugs to the app developer, in the case of apps. But in this case I don't know, because I haven't had any of these problems. Haven't done any podcasts but I use Pandora, last.fm, or Slacker radio for about an hour a day. I use it for a half hour on the way to work, pause it since I don't use my phone at work for anything but phone calls, then play from where I paused it 8-10 hours later for the half hour drive home.
I'd try a hard reset. Sometimes updates don't work smoothly. Just look at the Sprint forums shortly after the 2.2 update. Tons of issues that were fixed shortly there after by a hard reset. I haven't noticed any issues, and my battery seems to actually last longer, when the screen is off. I just got 12 hours with several phone calls, wifi, bluetooth, GPS, maps, navigation (for a short time), and the biggest battery drainer: games. Still had 12 percent, and it probably would have lasted at least 4 hours if I just let it sit. I leave all my email push and have facebook sync enabled.
Anyways, from my experience, nothing seems broken, its faster thanks to no fps lock, overall better performance, and the battery lasts longer, though it seems to run down a bit faster when in use compared to before, but it barely loses a charge while sleeping, so standby time makes up for it. (as long as you let it sleep, which in my experience, starting with the G1, is the real secret to best battery life. Let it sleep as long as possible. Constantly messing with it, switching the screen off, only to pick it up five minutes later is horrible for battery life. Use it, let it sleep, pick it up again in an hour. If you can that is...)
Was pretty choppy until I flashed netarchy kernel. But still getting alot of FC on Internet, when I use the back button it FC.
I had issues at first but after time and 2 or 3 reboots, all is smooth.

Anyone playing Pocket Legends on the SGS2? It randomly crashes on me, sometimes 3 times in 5 minutes, sometimes once an hour, just wondering if anyone else has the same issue?

Thanks for the reply. Yeah I originally started with everything on, I've been trying to disable apps one by one to see if it's affecting it but it always seems to randomly crash. I might try changing some in game settings and see how that goes.
Hey,
I've been having the same problem, thought it might just be me. Sometimes it works for ages without any problems. Other times it can crash within 5 minutes.

No I don't really feel it getting hot, although I do have a TPU case so maybe I can't feel it.
I haven't had a crash since setting the battery savings slider to the right, but it also makes the game very choppy. Seems like a common issue with SGS2's so hopefully they fix it soon.
Hi there!
Expierenced the same yesterday.
Game runs pretty fine, but phone's getting pretty hot (near the cam lense). Usually this doesn't happen - well, not that hot
Didn't actually meassured temperature or anything 'til now...
2 Suggestions:
1. MALI (IIRC) Chip -> Chainfire3D worth a try?
2. Modem: Possibly Pocket Legends gets hick-ups, when data connection's getting lost (like 3G->H+ switch or something). Anyone tried playing through WLAN?
bye

I installed tonight for the first time. Been having a few similar problems. How did you do that profile by the way?
Same here, crashes after playing for like 5 minutes. When I check the battery temp, it's around 35°C so that shouldn't be the problem.
Send a dev tyrol the pocket legends team some logs and he dates org looks like the task manager is killing the game for some reason. He can't work out why.

Posted this issue on PocketLegends FB page and invited them to join the discussion here - well, this is about 2-3 weeks ago. Sadly they didn't join, as far as I see...
Anyone found a solution for that yet?
Same problem here. The game freezes and phone gets hot.
Hello,
I played more than 1h without any lag/freeze/crash
Just disabled sound, music, high quality options and changed battery saver to 50%.
Here is my config for Pocket Legends:
imageshack.us/f/856/options2.jpg
imageshack.us/f/850/options1.jpg
Smartphone: SGS2
So please check it on your Samsung galaxy s2 and reply if this works.

Hello! I've been lurking for a while now, in hopes that someone would figure it out. The battery saving-settings worked for a while, but then I experienced freezing again.
After reading a thread in the official PL forums i tried this:
I downloaded the winamp music player app and made it my default player.
(i did this because the only logs they've recieved that contained a crash, were sound related "libsoundpool.so")
After doing that, I have played two runs through all Forest Haven levels without the game freezing!
One run without sound, and one run with sound.
Both runs with high quality, and all that. No battery saving settings.
Maybe it'll start freezing again in a while. But give it a try if you want.
(newbie, so I can't post outside links, but the thread I'm referring to is in "Technical Issues and Bugs" section, titled "sound effects occur despite being turned off", and the answer came from Otukura)
Edit: Nope, froze again. Once in Forest Haven, and about 4 times when fighting keeper...
Guys who are using Lite'ning 1.5 ROM, can you try to:
Clear memory in (stock) Task Manager
Launch (stock) Music app and leave it open in background
Play Pocket Legends
Maybe it's just coincidence, but i was able to play PL for about 3 hours without a single freeze. On stock and Villain ROMs it just kept crashing every few minutes. Will keep testing..
*Most settings in game left at default values (high quality, FX/music - on).
EDIT: So, i've played another ~3 hours and no problems so far. Tried to run game without starting Music player and game froze in 10-15 mins.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EDIT2: ~11 hours of gaming wihout crash. Tried few other ROMs, but PL just kept crashing. Now i'm on Lite'ning 1,5 again and game works.

Thank you very much! Now you can sell your car and get a horse.
Anything new on that front?
Nothing new so far...I hope they will solve this problem soon...the only thing I wonder is that it only crashes when I do quests...Of crouse I didnt do everything in the game yet...but whenever I do a quest it mostly crashes...and when I just hang out nothing happens...I hope they will fix this...

Lite'ning 1,5 ROM + music app runing in the background does the job, no single freeze. Confirmed by two other guys.
Has anyone else had issues with Facebook? It only likes to load for me if i have a strong data signal, (i get a signal lost screen constantly) and the app also goes rogue quite often and won't even allow my phone to charge because it's using up so much cpu. I've tried deleting and reinstalling to no avail. It acts this way on different roms as well. I don't remember earlier versions acting this way.
Anyone else?
I've had similar issues...not so with the charging issues though. Sometimes ill start it up, it will time out or do whatever its doing, and it then sits ans eats up 20 percent or more of my CPU until I close it. I've uninstalled it since it will sometimes begin eating up CPU on its own. Not a terrible thing since I'm not on Facebook but definitely needs to be fixed.

I started using friendcaster which doesn't hang up like Facebook, although you still need to be signed in to Facebook on your phone. You would think an app for a site like Facebook would be flawless. There's no reason it can't work just as well as tapatalk.
I agree. Facebook app is so badly developed. At times I noticed in battery stats that it would prevent the phone from going into deep sleep causing battery to drain. Friendcaster is a great alternative. I use it.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
same here, phone gets super hot with it, then I go into task manager and its got the cpu pegged at sometimes 50% or more. Ive actually just created a shortcut to the mobile site which actually looks and mimics the app, the only thing is you dont get contact sync unless you use social hub or leave the fb app installed.
tweetcaster on non aokp roms causes the same issues for me
I see that some people have the Galaxy Nexus and get 12 hours of battery life!
Lately, mine has been worse and worse- and the ROM doesn't seem to help.
Right now I'm running Brass Droid.
I do stream music, though. Is that why it's so awful??
62% media and 24% screen? Yea, I'd say it's the music streaming. How long do you stream for? And are you doing it over 3G or 4G? 4G draws significantly more. How long of streaming music are you expecting out of a charge?
Sent from my Stock AOSP Android 4.1.1 Galaxy Nexus
He's on edge which is like 1x or slow 3G. That will destroy battery. I would suggest getting a music subscription that allows you to download or sync you music then you can turn data off and of you use a custom kernel you could make your max screen off frequency your lowest freq. Then you'll be able to last all day - no pun intended.

So, you have tried different ROMs or kernels?
Would streaming music (GMusic or otherwise) show up as media like that?
No matter how much streaming you do I don't think it'd show up like that, I think OP has another issue.

You need to install something like Better Battery Stats and see what wake locks you have going on.
I would bet you have some. Audio wake locks are usually culprits....

My phone was getting hot because my Media Server(Media Scanner) process was eating anywhere from 10 to 30 percent of my cpu and battery.
My numerous attempts to disable it were unsuccessful,i deleted over 80 apk files and it was still running,lol.
I did a a temporary fix by placing .nomedia file at the root of my sdcard,and guess what?Its still fckn running!
I gave up and thought that it must be just on my phone,guess what?I just got brand new GS3 for my girl and same thing is happening on her GS3 and she is running stock and never been rooted.
Im trying to disable this Media Scanner from running because from what i read on the internet there is no permanent fix,its ics issue.
Im asking people to take screenshots of this process like i did and post them.Because im sure that there are others out there that have this problem that are not even aware of it,and it contributes to bad battery life and phone getting hot.

Just checked my phone and the 42 minutes of stayawake time listed on mediaserver correlates to the amount of time I listened to podcasts today. My phone is sitting at 74 % battery left after 8h17m on. That's in a crappy coverage area. No issues with mediaserver here. Running Stock ICS, rooted, stock battery, I've done nothing to kill or freeze any apps.
On the other hand, I don't use the stock media players. I use Poweramp for music and BeyondPod for podcasts. They both seem to use Mediascanner for a backend.
i have Allshare, Media Hub, and Maps, constantly running and i don't even use it and GPS, etc.. are all off.
to me, Android manages apps poorly, yet i've read app management is good for apps that are idle.. if it's so good why is battery life so poor. the problem is they make apps launch faster by having them "saved" in background but to me that still use resources.. I rather the apps take a second of two to load (by killing them when not used) rather than constantly chewing battery by having stuff cached/background running. despite the CPU going into "deep sleep" it manages to chew 7-10% battery life overnight just sitting idle. the only solution is to root and hack all the $#*s out.
i hate to compare WebOS with Andriod but on my Webos tablet it can stay on for a week or two with a full charge (with wifi on) it barely uses any battery when idle.

No,there is only a temporary solution.Just google "ICS Madia Scanner" and you will find that people are having problem with this on just about every phone.
Media Scanner(Media Server service) should only use 2-4% of your battery-thats normal.But if its using 10% or 20% thats not normal and your phone will get hot.
Mrdia Scanner should not be running at all,it doesnt run at all on my Epic 4G and Epic Touch.It should only run fot a minute or two when you reboot the phone or add/delete files.Dont take my word for it just google the issue.
It has something to do with ics not liking certain media files so it keeps scanning them over and over.

PowerAmp uses its own media scanner so it should not be running at all.Its a good player but i like Neutron better due to 64bit sound.
