Problems with d851. Could really use some advice. - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

Or reflash the whole firmware using LGFlashTool. Might help.

Well, I did the factory reset and no lockups or reboots yet. It's still really laggy though :-/
Gonna give it a while longer but I'm thinking it's time to root. What's the "hot setup" for the tmo version of this phone?

I meant rom/mods. I've seen people mention 60fps mod for the camera but I was wondering if there was an international rom that worked with the d851 since we haven't seen any of the updates for this phone yet.

We have the only unlocked bootloader. There are no international roms. SkyDragon is a good rom tho.

[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.

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.

Galaxy Note 2 lagging after a few days of use??

I got my phone last monday and today my phone was lagging while swipping through home screens, app drawer and even in settings. It was like project butter was shutdown and I was back to the epic 4g. Thought kind strange giving the specs on this phone.. I have stock jb and no root.
After a restart everything went back to normal.
Just curious, does this happen to everyone here? Is this normal to happen after 2-3 days of use?

You must not be actually closing apps just hitting home I assume but if not then idk the problem
Sent from my SPH-L900
Yes I did close them... I even tried force closing all. Not sure why the phone was struggling a little.
you didn't enable power saving mode by any chance?
also, android should be fairly good at managing your memory. i believe google doesn't really recommend task killers because whenever you kill tasks that the OS needs, it'll just reload it, which itself consumes resources (maybe more resource than letting the process simply idle). so just leave those processes alone.
Are you running SetCPU? Make sure it didn't accidentally severely under clock you. That happened to me once and SETCPU was running me at 200 mhz for some reason.

I would double check on all the apps you've previously installed. I'm still on stock JB unrooted as well since released day (Oct 25), not once I've experience any lag that yours producing. Heck I've loaded a bunch of games and apps now my main storage is down to a gig, even then I haven't noticed any slow down. This phone is a beast thats all I can say.

Yeah, thats unfortunate because if anything the phone should speed up after a few days of use. Why don't you just keep it to the 1 thread you started in the GT 7100 forum? You already got 4 pages of responses there. And post a video of what you're talking about because the phone should not lag at all with power savings off.

I didn't strat a thread there... just replied to one and it was a different are of problem anyway..
Guys.. I didn't install any task killer, I just force off using that long pressing home button and going into running apps, the phone, no power saving mode on, still unrooted and very few apps. I use Android for 3 years and I looked all the places to make sure settings would not be causing this and it was not.
Really weird problem... it's fine now I just hope it keeps running this way by tomorrow.. I'll let you all know, if anything I'll make a video if I can reproduce.

Don't close the apps down just back out of them because you'll lag more when your phone sits there trying to open them all up again and cache them. But I agree its a strange problem, if this occurs againit might be something very specific.

Is there a way to know if all cores are running on stock Android?
I've also seen some sick battery life in this phone, but not on mine. Yesterday I got 12 hours with about 3 1/2 of screen, with few and short phone calls. What I used the most on this phone was the internet and the browser..
Not sure if these are related.
EDIT.... I installed CPU usage Monitoring and the 4th core stays off most of the time.. when I opened videos and messed with more apps it started working so I'm answering myself on that. Also, I played a video with the pop up function and the cpu only gets to about 30% and not even on all cores... wow.. the processing power here is really impressive.

Random reboots

Im new in this nexus section...i'm asking why my galaxy nexus sometimes reboots? It has the latest 4.2.2 android version stock...it isnt the update, i think, because also before this happen...and when it reboots there's like a opened locket under the google logo....who can help.me? I tried also the nexus toolkit...but when i try to do something with fastboot the program says WAITING DEVICE forever...
Guys, please help!! Its really urgent!
Hi,
I think there are two reasons for random reboots:
1- overheating
2-lack of ram (many running proceses, so ram gets full, so it reboots.
Press the thanks button if I helped

No, unlocking the bootloader shouldn't do this. I have an unlocked bootloader, and I have this phone(xperia arc) for 5 months and I only had one random reboot and it was definitely because of lack of ram

Yes but im talking about NEXUS and maybe its different!!
I used to have that happen all the time. I used to think that the phone sucked but my husband never had that happen with his. I compared the apps and wiped my phone, only installed what he had on there. It still happened. I was really beginning to get mad but I wiped it again. I Installed things one by one only allowing myself to install a new app only after it had gone a week with no nonsense. Yes, this was a painful process but I found the cause of my random reboots. I use Handcent. That alone isn't the cause. When I would get new sounds for my GN, I would have the option of making them a ringtone or a Handcent notification among other things. If I made Handcent notifications, that seemed to cause the problem. If I move a sound into the notifications folder and assign it to contacts in Handcent, everything has been fine.
I don't know if this helps your problem but some settings could affect unexpected things. Good luck!

[Q] S6 Edge Lag and stutter

So I got the S6Edge and its suppose to be lag free most of the time, but mine lags when typing and sometimes misses letters I type, also the touchwiz launcher sometimes freezes and switching apps lag and stutter, google chrome and the Samsung browser aren't smooth at all, they suffer from freeze and lag, what can I do?
Will flashing stock firmware remove lag?
Start ing to regret this phone, I paid $1000 for it and there's lag..
Yes thats what im thinking also, this supposed to bw the fastest phone amd t still lags . I had the Nexus 6 , Moto 2014 and the Htc m8 all of them with zero lag. From Galaxy s6 edge I take out the camera and everything else is a fail.

I have no lag or stutter at all. I'm rooted.
The only issue is a not so good battery life but it's been fixed by using airplane mode at home where I literally have no signal and depend on WiFi calling anyway.
If you had to update via OTA then I suggest you re-flash the stock ROM as that doesn't seem to have issues while the OTA might have introduced a few

Yeah mine does it too. I'm very close to returning my phone. I have gone through two so far, my third one will be delivered today. If this has stutter as well along with GPS issues, I'm done. I have less than 7 days left in my buyers remorse period. So It is now or never.
I may try the M9, but I honestly think I'm just gonna use my iPhone 6 until the Nexus 2015 or Note 5 is available.

I was in your boat too. Try the suggestion above. There is something with the update they pushed that is not only killing the battery but makes the entire phone lag. Follow the thread posted above and clear cache and do a full reset. I was literally going to go get an M9 2 days ago before I did this. Entirely different phone now. I got 15 hours today with over 4 hours screen on time and zero lag.

Okay cool I'll give it a try. On another note though it appears to have been hardware issues. My GPS was broken so it kept seeking location which dropped my battery way down. It also just couldn't find my location. I have cleared cache and done all that jazz with it and even used GPS Fix to no avail. So far this new replacement seems to be doing the job.
I'll take a look at not doing the OTA.

You should do the ota, but then clear cache and reset to factory afterwards.

Okay cool I'll give it a try. On another note though it appears to have been hardware issues. My GPS was broken so it kept seeking location which dropped my battery way down. It also just couldn't find my location. I have cleared cache and done all that jazz with it and even used GPS Fix to no avail. So far this new replacement seems to be doing the job.
I'll take a look at not doing the OTA.

Just to clarify once you do the ota update you will want to power off the phone and then hold the volume up + home button + power button. Once booted into clear cache and then do a factory reset.

Just my two cents, I think this is a memory leak issue. I've seen the phone start to get bogged down but with a quick restart, the smoothness returns as it should. I'm hoping that 5.1 will fix this memory leak.
If all else fails try this.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3079176
Helped clear up a lot of things for many people. My main issue was fast battery drain. Seems to be a lot better now. I'm a pretty heavy user so this helped me.
I would go ahead and start fresh.

So I got the S6Edge and its suppose to be lag free most of the time, but mine lags when typing and sometimes misses letters I type, also the touchwiz launcher sometimes freezes and switching apps lag and stutter, google chrome and the Samsung browser aren't smooth at all, they suffer from freeze and lag, what can I do?
Will flashing stock firmware remove lag?
Start ing to regret this phone, I paid $1000 for it and there's lag..

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.

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?

Also can you run this app to test the camera api2?

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
I'm on it now it seems to be a lot better did restore with odin and wipe everything

I was, I lost it, and I can't get it back. Phone hangs at "RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING". PingPong says it's not supported.
*EDIT* I noticed that all of the apps I disabled (with the exception of WhatsApp) prior to updating are still disabled, so I'm not too worried about waiting until Chainfire updates.

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

"While I was updating I broke out my note 3 and I swear it feels twice as fast as this phone"
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?
thanks,
AC

Yes, ODIN is the way to flash.
Is the brightness bug fixed when even if auto brightness is turned off it still dims
I swear I can't get this to download past 1.0 gig even though it's 1.5.
I get an unexpected end of data when trying to extract with 7zip.
Any ideas?

I'd never noticed that bug before, but the setting seems to work as it should in this build. I'm in a dark room now, and turning off auto brightness brought the screen to full bright.
Let me guess, have to download on a pc?
Can't figure out how to upload a screen screen shot, only have a cancel button , pretty weird

What theme are you using? Looks legit
The webpage at http://dl.sammobile.com/M1FbRj0mIj1...fQkNbXUE./G925TUVU2COF6_G925TTMB2COF6_TMB.zip might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.
Anyone else getting that? Anyone willing to mirror? Lol. I NEVER get Sam Mobile to work. Always times out, but never got that message
