[Q] android updating after boot

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.

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?

Same here, I always thought it was normal that it is just checking for updates on startup.

Same here. I thought it was a little weird at first, but it doesn't really bother me. Only takes a couple of seconds.

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.

Hmm, I'd have thought it was only checking/updating the Android OS, not all your apps?

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

[Q] Issue after ICS update - Phone freezing

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.

Yup here too. Almost reminds me of XP. Really ticking me off & it never happened on gingerbread. Rooted now & before I'm on rogers 4.0.4. wondering if there's going to be fix? Haven't seen if Google / rogers /at&t have commented?

I'm getting the freezes as well even after doing a factory reset.
It sucks, I'm waiting for cyanogen to release a stable release and then I'm switching.

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.
There's something else going on.

Strange problem

Dear friends,
I have problem with my Nexus. Sometimes it vibrates by itself, without any reason. I don't mind it but it is little bit annoying. What can it be? I am on JB + franco's kernel.
Thanks.

Check all software that issues notifications and make sure none is set to vibrate. Like Yahoo, Facebook, etc.

Also happening to me. I rebooted and it's ok for another few days then vibrate itself again... I don't care now XD

Checked all options and I am thinking that settings are good. I don't use any of social apps except Instagram and twicca. This is very strange and happens randomly.

Do you ever get asked to choose an app to open 'something' with? like email apps etc?
Also do you have a folder in your gallery with a load of screen shots?
This is usually cause by the automated bug report system.
you may have to wipe data and re-flash rom/kernel.

Yes, happens all the time. So this is rom fault? Should I just use rooted stock?

This was happening all the time to me, on stock ICS and when I went to JB.. I am running my own build of CM10 and the issue has subsided.
Personally I Think a bad flash is to blame.
just try reflashing.. like i say i had this problem consistently and flashed many different roms with no resolution.. but now its fine very odd..
Like i say do a wipe and full flash/reinstall.

I found solution to my problem. You have to disable bug mailer. Just rename /system/bin/bugmailer.sh to bugmailer.sh.bak and you are good to go.

[Q] A few Jellybean problems. The same for everyone?

I notice whenever I reboot my phone, the Developer Options always disables itself, meaning I must turn it back ON and tick "keep screen awake" and adjust any other features there as well such as window animation speed, etc.
Does this happen for anyone else and how can I fix it?
Also, sometimes the chosen font won't apply it to everything. I'll have to change the font and back again in order for icons and SMS to have it again.
Another thing is when I freshly boot my phone, I'll have somewhere around over 1000-1200 MB of memory available. Over the course of my phone being on, it keeps lowering to near 600. Even if I close running applications and other stuff running in the background. Why does this happen?
I can't think of anything else at the moment.

Are you on stock or custom ROM?

Memory loss over time is a typical memory leak situation. Comes from bad coding, or more precisely, code that isn't gced.

Around 600MB free RAM is typical for GS3 touchwiz. Did you try to clear the recent apps (holding down the Home button then hit the trash can icon on the lower right corner), that will free up some memory as well.

Also you really shouldn't be micro managing what you have running all the time, even when you have about 600 to 800 mb free chances are you won't be using probably 1/3 of that. Android always been good with multitasking especially this 2gb ram phone.

As far as the fonts go, it happened on stock, but rooted stock. Also happened on a few custom roms. I don't think it seems to be doing it anymore, though... probably a few reboots cleared that up. But the Developer Options thing still happens.

Yep. Probably a memory leak like mentioned, but it's still weird. Probably because it's a custom rom with a dev's own coding, huh?
These problems aren't a huge deal, but they do happen. Everything little bit fixing would be nice. I'm really liking this phone!
Thanks everyone for the replies.

Has anyone else had problems with an intermittent screen flicker when opening the keyboard? I remember the problem when using custom roms, but I never thought it would happen on stock unrooted...

Well, the last rebooting didn't turn off Developer Options, nor the Windows animation scale/speed. But the Stay Awake was still unchecked.
