[Q]Applications Random Pause

Greetings,
I have arc since May and I'm really satisfied from it.
But here's the thing. It randomly pauses most of my applications after a minute or so.
The first time it happened, i though i misstouched the screen, but I wasnt. When I'm playing games it pauses the game (No graphical lag or any issues, just pause) and i have to touch the screen to continue back. Same applies to youtube and any application that has pause.
Any idea what happened? My arc is stock non-rooted (Since 2.3.4 update) so i didn't mess up with any system files.

Looking at the number of views and no replies seems that no one has this problem , including me.
Have you tried to reflash the firmware or may be tried different region firmware or may be downgrade to lower version? Just to test the issue reappearing?

True. No, I haven't done flash or anything you mentioned before. Looks likely im going to use SEUS and wipe everything. Though I don't have time right now and I'll do it later in the evening or at weekend

I'm suffering from the same problem.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S II with stock rom
It started out a couple of days ago. It happens on every application I run, pausing it after a a short time it's running and it happens again every minute or so.
I tried uninstalling new apps but it didn't work.

Rooting is great.
Especially because you can delete bloatware, install CWM, flash MODs/Themes/etc., install V6 Supercharger and so on.

Unstable ICS V20c update?

I update to v20c a couple of times, the first time I use machzelet unbrick method using v20c kdz, I had a couple of random reboots and the rom was not rooted, after that I flashed brianlili's rotted v20c images, but I still have the random reboots (but I install a lot of software), I do a factory reset and I don't install any software at all and I will test the stability. Any ideas about the random reboots: could it be setcpu, titanium BK, nobloat or lucky patcher?, any ideas?
Thanks.

All I know is I did the official AT&T ICS Install and it is stable as hell, I haven't had a random reboot or dreaded HoNo/CM boot loop at all.
The only thing I miss is the fact that this is not rootable at this time. If and when this does I will root and stick with stock rom and kernel as this has been the stablest my phone has ever been!

I upgraded mine from stock unrooted gb using the lg update tool. I've had one crash/reboot since yesterday when playing a video from gallery using the stock video player. I don't have any of these apps installed. If I keep on having constant random reboots I'll probably try a factory reset and see if it fixes it.

Never saw reboots on 20c, 10f or other unofficial roms.

I strongly recommend doing a factory reset for everyone who upgraded to V10c, even if you don't notice any problems (yet). It's already fixed issues for many people.
My guess is it will fix the reboots.

20c is really unstable for me; even after factory resets. As much as I like UI, I can't be bothered to deal with it and it's terrible battery life.

No more reboots
After the factory reset that I've done yesterday, I had no reboots today, also I recommend reading this google support post:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=28819
The first application, that I suspect as responsible for the reboots its app manager.
Other possible cause could be battery managers aka juice defender or easy battery saver.
The post mention about kernel panic error, and that it’s caused by excessive memory use of an application, I notice that facebook app use aproximate 100mb of memory, so I uninstall it and use the web site (with dolphin).
Other thing that I’ve done was disable almost all lg applications using the stock app manager.
I will install some other applications and let you know about the stability on weekend.

Bad news, Reboots reapear.
So it seems official, ICS for LG Nitro it's not stable:

I completely agree, ICS update is running VERY stable with great options to disable a bunch of bloatware. Great options until we get a easy root method

I have the worst problem with GPS locating me with ICS. It takes at least 5-10 minutes for me to connect in google navigation. Only problem I've had with stock ICS though.

Google Maps does not have the GPS lock problem. It's the navigation app that has problems getting GPS lock. It'll be stuck on the screen that says "Searching for GPS"

I use to have this problem in GB, I read in a post that it's related with the servers used in the file /system/etc/gps.conf. You can use an app called FasterFix (require root) to solve this problem.

[Q] 10j vs 10h?

Hey guys so which firmware is better? I have 10j tried ART but it kept freezing at random points in the day so disabled that but is 10h better than 10j?

Glad im not alone with the random freeze thing. Never experienced it before v10j. Im using dalvik atm tho with that problem.

I installed 10j here without wiping my 10g. Everything is perfect. In fact I just checked and the phone has been on for 23 hours straight. Perfect in every way. Mine is the 855 16g

I did the same, been great for 2 days with no restarts or issues of any kind.
Installed 10j using the LG tool but selected the flash option that doesn't wipe data.
Switched to ART yesterday, think I'll keep it, it is definitely smoother.

Yeah, I'm on art too. After I left dalvik I couldn't go back. No fc, slow downs. Like I said the phone is now perfect. I guess that guys that are having problems with 10j it is probably due to app incompatibility with art.

So is dalvik still suffering from lag on the 10j firmware? Im using ART on 10a but im missing exposed and was planning on using 10j with dalvik & exposed :good:

I wouldn't say that it suffers from lag. With art apps open faster and the battery is awesome. Smoothness is the same I believe. I choose to live without Xposed for now to have a snappier phone.

Has anyone actually received a notification of OTA for v10j? Or everyone flashes a leaked version?

I can confirm that in ART it freezes too. I've got bootloop on LG logo, only removing the battery worked to me. And on Antutu it reboots one time (on Dalvik)

May i know how did you guys managed to get versions far ahead then the current one? Or is it because im using the korean version? My version is still F400K10G. Now its J?

V10j is still an internal test fw so no ota's for now

I am using 10j installed 2,5 days ago over 10i "dirty" way and I am using ART: very smooth and fantastic battery (much better than 10i).
I never had freezes and/or rebooting with ANY firmware, but 10a/10b or so they were very laggy. Now I have a perfect phone.
To judge about battery you need to have at least 2 full charges (IMHO of course) as during the first use the telephone need to "adjust" itself.

I did a clean install of 10J after running on 10G for a while, I think the touch screen is less accurate that it was before, playing "Dont tap the white tile" it seems a lot more hit and miss than before.
Not sure if its a FW issue for sure but I cant think of anything else, might slip back to 10H and test that to see what happens, or just put up with it untill 10K or L or whatever comes next, gotta say I am impressed by LG's speed at kicking out new updates even tho they are essentially very minor upgrades each time and some issues still persist, at least they are trying...

Problems with d851. Could really use some advice.

So, I bought it on launch day and I'm getting desperate...
1) Wake screen after receiving notification (text etc). Pull down notification bar, back and multitask soft buttons grey out and phone will not respond. If I'm listening to music when this happens, the song keeps playing until I pull the battery or the phone reboots itself.
2) General lag is awful... More than half the time it has noticeable hangs switching apps or opening anything. I'm down to next to no apps that i've installed and have even tried removing just about everything I have with no improvement. Scrolling stutters about half the time as well. And the image you see with the camera open stutters badly also. Every once in a while it's buttery smooth for a few seconds then slows again.
Battery life is great and I love the form factor of this phone. I REALLY don't want to get rid of it but I'm at the point where it's more important to have a phone that's usable than have the extra screen size etc.
It's bone stock and I haven't tried a factory reset.
Suggestions?

Try the factory reset then go from there.

G920TUVU2COF6 -- that's 5.1.1 update !!

This is awesome, we have the Android 5.1.1 update already. Full firmware. Odin TAR, man!
And, the goods. download link Btw, for direct download links of the firmware, see the source page linked below.
Source: here

Just updated..... From a look and feel standpoint it is still as laggy for me as always. Not sure what to think. Multi tasking is still as terrible as ever. Cannot Switch to another app and back to chrome without the page reloading, for me makes the phone almost unusable for what I need it for. While I was updating I broke out my note 3 and I swear it feels twice as fast as this phone. I am sure the typical it is a lollipop issue will be the response to the multi tasking issue, but the lag this phone has is unbearable. And small little things they could have easily fixed like the night clock are still not fixed. I am not sure what to think at his point.

RAW and multi user support?

It seems even though on Nexus, 5.1.1 doesn't completely fixed the memory issue, it is just better and improved. Google been said it will be fixed completely only on Android M.
Can you report any RAW and manual shutter support in camera? Any guest mode or multi-user mode available?

I somehow don't think the mass killing of application is Lollipop's problem by Samsung's. Other phones like the M9 or G4 had no problems with that. Lollipop only make the matter a bit worst due to its memory leak but still it shouldn't be so bad.
Before I get my s6e, I have using the Nexus 5. Since the first day 5.0 is released, I never had such terrible memory issues whereby I have to be afraid to switch applications because the things I do might be gone. I think either the LMK is too aggressive or the Touchwiz is still using up too much ram.

I am sure the typical it is a lollipop issue will be the response to the multi tasking issue

Ping pong will not root 5.1.1 even, the kernel date is after may 15. For those who wants root just wait to update until a dev releases the flashable version, which requires you to flash the modem,etc in Odin

I think you got a lemon there, and should go change it. I have a note 3 as well and nowhere as fast as my S6E. I think the carrier ones have the most issues with lag and battery life. My international version is just superb, smooth and fluid from day one. The aggressive RAM is there, and hopefully they fix on updates.

Mine keeps failing with tghe OTA for some reason, even did a factory reset after un-rooting. Can I flash this via Odin or smart switch?
