[Q] Phone locks up when installing apps - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

So I'm having this problem for a while now. Sometimes my phone locks up when I'm trying to install a new app. The only thing I can do when it happens is to hard reset the device. It seems to be happening mostly on relatively large applications (~30mb and up).
Initially I thought that maybe my sd-card is dying so I tried to unmount it, but it happened again on the second app that I tried to install.
Any ideas on what may cause this?

Give more details like what rom and kernel you're using.

I'm on CM 10.1, default kernel.

Which cm10.1 rom? And what date is the rom build?

I'm on official nightlies. Currently 3/20, but it also happened on the latest monthly.
Since no one reported this kind problem, I don't think it's a bug.

[Q]Every ROM I flash FC's launchers and slows to a crawl for no reason.

So every time I flash I wipe data/cache/Dalvik/Battstats. I was using CWM2 for a while and when every ROM continued to slow down and lock up I tried upgrading to CWM3, narrowing my ROM choices but not solving the problem. Whenever I flash, my phone will return to it's snappy self for a varying amount of time before crapping out again. I've tried Sense, AOSP, Evo, and Z ROMs and all behave the same for no apparent reason. What am I doing wrong? My phone used to be lightning quick, I sampled many ROMs and kernels without incident, only experimented with OC briefly, and all of a sudden it's gotten painfully slow no matter what i do. Please help me make my Incredible, "incredible" again
Is it still slow on the Stock ROM? If you haven't tried that already, I would try that. It's possible something else may be wrong with the phone if you've tried many different ROMS and all do the same thing. Do you have all the same apps installed as well, or are they different for the most part?
try fixing permissions
Try wiping your SD card and when you sign in your gmail account don't let it restore all of your apps. Setcpu is also a good investment if you have not already purchased it

will i need to re-flash my ROM after doing this?
Nope, doesn't delete anything.

This seems to have fixed the problem, thank you so much.

Actually, on closer inspection, the permission fix only temporarily stopped the issue. I even switched to the nearly stock Nothing Special Peanut ROM and I still got a FC from Sense. Is my phone a dud?

How are you restoring apps? I would wipe everything and flash a fresh ROM. does it freeze up now? If not, my $$ is on a rogue app that doesn't like playing with your phone.

Hmm I just flashed OMFGB w/o restoring my apps. The only things I've installed are the Google Apps, Google Voice (which is my primary method of communication), XDA, and SetCPU. The fcs seem random, not tied to any particular action. They even happen when I'm not doing anything on the phone. Any ideas?
Thanks for the help everyone.

update: I think the problem stemmed from using the SetCPU widget with the refresh rate set to 5 seconds. Not sure if changing the setting makes a difference, but removing the widget from my home screen has solved all the issues insofar. We'll see if it takes this time.
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
setcpu is always a "use with caution" kind of app. you can get great results, but it's mostly educated trial and error with your rom/kernel combination.

only able to download apps over 3g.

This has been a problem for a while, but i thought it would be just a simple reflash gapps and maybe rom, so i delt with it for a time. But now i just switch from aokp to cm9, fresh install, and the problem still persists. Anybody else having similar problems or have a fix?
Try going to settings-applications-Play Store/Market-Clear Data.

Tried clearing the data and all the basic troubleshooting you do when something screws up.nothing works

It is not ics. I've made a few threads and in most of them you come and bash ics. The problem came up recently, and I been on ics since I first got this phone, which was in April, and I've had no problems till now. So if you don't have anything to say about a solution to the problem please, keep your opinions about ics to yourself
Now back to the problem. I've recently switched to cm9 and the problem is also here. It's really annoying when large apps have to update.

cm10 cursor weirdness

Hello all, I am running the latest CyanogenMod 10 nightly and I've noticed that with all autocorrect features off, sometimes when typing numbers, the cursor will jump back a space and it will continue typing in the wrong place. Maybe this is a Firefox related thing because if I recall correctly that is the only place I've run into it, and I just tried duplicating the issue in this app to no avail. The problem also occurred in cm10 stable. Does anyone know what could cause this or how to fix it?
Thanks

Did this occur from a clean flash or dirty? Which CM10 version are you running? I'll be able to give more advice with more details.
Clean flash I believe, I flashed the latest pre-rooted stock rom with odin, as I couldn't get heimdall to work properly with the guide in the CyanogenMod wiki, then flashed cwm, then wiped cache, dalvik, formatted /system, and flashed the cm 10.0.0 stable. That is the version I first noticed it in. After updating to the nightlies (as of yesterday's) I still noticed it. Thanks for your reply.

are you on the beta firefox? maybe thats causing problems....
Yeah, can that actually affect the keyboard though? Sorry I'm an Android noob.

hmm, it does look like it's a Firefox thing, I just tested typing the same thing into the default browser that caused the issue in Firefox. This was the not beta version, so it must not be only the beta.

Various problems on phone.

Hey guys I'm having some problems on miui and my phone in general. I have no root permission in miui and it force closes when I try to enter the app. Also I can't log onto xda if I'm not on WiFi.
This is probably my fave ROM and want to avoid going back. I don't have 4g and if I do its very slow and also my phone will cut in and out. I was wondering if there's any work a rounds to my problems, I flash correctly and fix permissions after I flash so I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. I'm scared of my imei corrupting cause its happened a few times and can't back it up with miui cause I don't have permissions. I just reflash it and that works. I'm using cwm. Seems like literally nothing else I've tried works, flashing wise. Could it be my version of cwm is out dated? Also wondering if anyone has ever replaced their screen with one that's $14 off amazon and if the 7000 Nah battery is real. Thanks if anyone is able to answer my questions

CM10.2 Nightlies Discussion

In the heritage of CyanogenMod discussion threads, here is a new one for the release of the 10.2 nightlies. Nightlies started on 8/26/13 (my b-day thanks aremcee). 10.2 will bring you up to Android 4.3 Jellybean.
If you are on 10 or 10.1, go to Settings > About phone > CyanogenMod updates, and change your update type to Nightly. Download, install, enjoy.
If you use Google Apps you must flash newer gapps. After CM update download the latest gapps here: http://goo.im/gapps. Currently the 10.2/4.3 package is 20130813. Reboot into recovery and flash the gapps zip.
Not on CyanogenMod? I recommend wiping everything and installing:
Download CM: http://get.cm/?device=p930
Download Google Apps: http://goo.im/gapps
Change Log: http://10.2.cmxlog.com/?device=p930
I updated to 10.2 yesterday. Seems to be really smooth and generous on the battery. Obviously this is not a formal test. I'm not on WIND kernel anymore so I don't think my idle battery use is nearly as good. I hope he releases a 10.2 version soon.
Those of you having issues with no mobile signal from 8/27 on flash the baseband/firmware from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1842763
That will fix it.

You can open the zip with 7zip and remove the applications you don't want, then flash gapps zip.

I am having horrible issues with Google maps and cm10.2. After install and I run for the first time every thing works (as long as I am on WiFi). As soon as I go to run it the second time and go to navigation I have the following issues:
1. The recent location, home & work, & history/starred cards will flash for a second then disappear.
2. When I have the above state it takes 5 - 10 min to achieve GPS lock, then I loose it about every 5 min.
3. The green ribbon at the top no longer has the street name, just an arrow and the number of mile on the left and the letter mi on the right. Correct orientation should have the arrow, miles & mi on the left with the current road on the right, and then when you approach the turn the banner should get larger with the street larger in the middle of the banner.
4. If I uninstall and reinstall, I can get it to work the first time and as soon as I exit and go back into the app its back to being messed up again. Clearing data, cache & rebooting have no impact.
Can this be repeated by anyone else?
I do not have this issue with stock, cm10.x, miui, or any other ROM I have tried except cm10.2 4.3.

I used Zombies, Run! this morning. Seemed to work fine.
Found battery life was horrible for the 8.30 flash, phone never went into deep sleep. However just flashed the 9.1 and phone did go into deep sleep now.

Hi all... I am hoping that some help/advice can be given. My issue is that barcode scanner apps, barcode scanner and barcode scanner + both cause the ui to become unresponsive. Phone calls cannot be answered though ringing can be heard etc and phone has to be rebooted. Has anyone experienced the same?
