Develop Bugs

Help please!

Every time I accidentally add a widget to my home screen like picture frame or flip board medium, it highly lags my fps. From 60 to 3 even after removing it, restarting my phone, and clearing ram and ending all active apps. Someone help me? I've already factory reset 3 times because of this very annoying bug

Half of you are developers and don't know how to fix this one thing? =(

what u might wanna do is download voltage control and see if it isnt effecting ure speeds performance, alot has to do with overclocking and upscaling and downscaling when u do roms specially if uve installed kernels with OC on it. make sure that settings are corect, like governor section is to this category
500000 SA
90-95 for UP
10 DD
4 SDF
0 for both INL and PB
1 to IIB thats normal upscaling to governor
also make sure that ure settings arent set to low other then ondemand, or powersave, best once that seem to help are ondemand and msm-dcvs if voltage supports it. second section should be at cfq.
, if that doesnt fix it, u might wanna try a different rom if that doesnt fixes the problem, other whize u gonna have to odin back to stock do a factory reset from ure phone not the CWM do it 2 or 3 times, and re-try again and see if that fixs it.
Im not a dev so im not a pure expert at this but i go by how my phone functions with every rom i flash and the performance it gives, ive found both Phantom blaze and paranoid android roms seem to be the best for me. i switch back and forth to each other because i like the phablet mode on paranoid, and smooth and impressive battery life saver on phantoms. No kernels, other then what already comes with, except for the 2100mhz load krnel that supports for paranoid android,. seriously battery killer thought if u OC it to 2100.

I'm stock non rooted.

either u might have a faulty GS3 or ure software installation went utterly wrong while updating and messed up somewhere in the middle of the installation. did u get it updated already or did u get it when it was using lg2 modem?
if u got it with the LG8 modem, try odin it back to LG2 or lower, and update from there, see if that helps.
u dont need to worry bout ure flash count going up because samsung software doesnt count on ure flash count no matter how many times u flash the Stock modem.

Um idk what that means. All I know is I have everything updated via updates and every S3 does this if it's stock. This is my second and it does it to. Set the picture frame widget or flip board widget medium to your home screen then do a nenamark

humm,...couldnt tell yah, if uve never rooted ure phone and are using stock software u might have a faulty gs3 with faulty software, ive never had my gs3 mess up on me on stock rom before i rooted. Ive had my GS3 non-rooted for about 3 weeks updated and all and no issues, no slow downs, only issues ive had was 1: my friend breaking my phone, 2 battery life, and not being able to store ure apps to ure sd card, all which was an easy fix with rooting and making my buddy get me a new phone.

Seriously? You are really asking this? Wow, unbelievable

Well I would personally think there's someone who knows how to fix this.. visually there's no difference. But after nenamark once I remove the widget I drop to 30 fps. And it stays that way. My thought is that it is locked into some sort of cache that I have to manually delete or clear for it to be like it never was added to home screen

Its like it was mention above, there really isnt anything any of the devs can do, if ure not rooted, and ure arent operating under a custom rom, ure pretty much using stock base software which only has to do with normal built development done by samsung, they should be ones u should be contacting not the devs here.......they only deal with phones with root and custom roms to make the phone better. Now u could try rooting ure phone and installig a custom rom to see if that does fix the problem, in most cases like ures, only thing to do is take it in to a sprint store and have it inspect or do it ureself odin it with a earlier version of modem, best 1 would be LG2 modem and update from there and see if that changes anything, i can garante u if u do take it to sprint they might charge u to inspect it again, and all they gonna do is odin ure phone from an earlier versions.

I'll have to add this to my list of rude things that shouldn't be said in a developers forum. We're not Samsung or Sprint customer service. We are people with lives, families, jobs, and other responsibilities. If you want help, this isn't the way to get it.

If you're stock non-rooted, then after a factory reset, there's nothing you could have done to mess this up.
If you go to a sprint store, they can reflash your stock software and see if that fixes the issue. It takes about 3 minutes, and in my experience, they've been very courtesy and helpful.

Try opening the settings>apps>launcher and clearing the cache and deleting the launchers data.
Widgets are stored in the launcher apps data, so clearing these values should put you back to default settings.

Lag after a day

So why does my phone start to lag after a day. No matter what ROM or kernel I am on, after about 20 hours my phone starts to lag. If I restart my phone all is good. Does anyone have an explanation? Is this a great 4.2.2 feature? This wasn't happening before that.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

Is that even pure stock? There are several posts on this already. There isn't a genuine solution but some have suggested some ways to minimize lag on 4.2.2.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

I have tried all sorts of ROMs.I will look for some of the other posts. Its just frustrating because I can get it to fly, but have to reboot 1-2 times a day.

Check your memory usage. I have this problem too - and it seems like my memory if full. Try to see what services run in the background and maybe you can stop some of them. Also look at 'Greenify' - it is an app that stops background processing for apps you don't want hanging in the background. It requires root, though.

do you use twrp? i had that problem until someone mentioned that twrp doesnt wipe completely and used cmw.

would it be too much of apps running at the background and causing it lag?

I'm reading about this issue more and more everyday ... one solution i saw was that to install "Clean master" from Play store and clear cache with that to minimize lag i believe it only affects custom roms and not stock based roms :/

Terrible battery in my note 2

Hey guys whats up namaste and I would like to share my aa.. Problem I have a Galaxy Note 2 2 GT-N7100 international model and I bought it just 8 months a ago and I had android 4.1.1 stock rom with touchwiz the battery was ok for me for daily use after an update to 4.2.2 my battery became terrible and my phone started heating. After a build number update I got heating problem fixed but I still had battery problem and I have no idea why. I have rooted my phone yesterday and installed cyanogenmod 10.1 because one of my friend told me that it has better battery backup on custom roms. But I still have battery problems even after installing greenify app and doing clean master.

Here is the page that I get in settings - battery

Flash a better kernel and then install an app called superpower from market.

I am also noob
Kernels provide communications between software and hardware ..when software need something from hardware then it send request to kernels
There are many kernels if you look at development section and you can flash them the same way as you flash custom ROM by going into recovery

Why Is there a big drop in battery in zero time on your PIC..... See under the r in battery.
Did you turn it off and then it still drains battery. This should not happen and sounds like a repair job-
Sent from my Sony Tablet S using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I had same problem. Try this.
Turn Auto brightness off and put brightness lowest.
Turn off 3g data (temporarily)
Turn off GPS
And Finally put phone in Airplane Mode
Now.. Reboot Phone.
Do this at night and keep track of the percentage it used and for how long.
Then slowly put brightness to Auto and turnoff Airplane mode.
Try to keep track of percentage and time once more.
Finally once everything functioning well, turn the rest of the setting on!!
I had exact same problem as you did and this fixed it for me
I use 50% of my battery for at least 8 hours+.

check the Wifi advanced setting.
Turn off the always scanning. This always do the tricks.
Everytime you flash 4.3 rom, this checkbox will always default to "checked", try to manually unchecked it.
Sent from the corner of this rounded earth behind my PC.

Try do several restart your phone and observe if problem still occur. I experienced this problem too and you also notice after the update RAM usage is higher. Mine normalize after several restart. Hope this solve your problem but don't worry there are plenty ideas to be share to you..

Wifi scanning was already unchecked......hope the restarting trick works....thanks......

i am using low battery mode.(second option). when i activated stamina battery is finishing so faster. i couldnt understand. for example from night to morning %20 using battery.. with just second option %2-3 .
and i am gonna look for greenify. looks good.
can you suggest a cpu controller ?

You can't control CPU with the stock kernel. Something is really wrong, check running processes, something may be running constantly in background...

I've a solution which you could try....
Root is must
#First convert fb app to user app via titanium backup
#add it to list of greenify
#keep stamina mode on I am getting 1 day backup easily
