[Q] ArtMod 5.2.1 bugs!

Hello, so i installed ArtMod 5.1 at first. Everything was allright. Some icons were old but that was okay. Then i updated to 5.2.1 and bugs came in.
1. In wifi settings i can't see active wifi connections. It shows me its connected. But i can't see those blue arcs.
2. Split screen with back button long press is messy. Its super hard to get it working. U have to let the back button go just the right millisecond. Othervise it will just flash up and disappear.
3. No battery power off animation or warning. When battery low the phone just goes black and thats it. It should give some warnings!!!
4. Ram usage. Im not sure if its a bug but i get only 700Mb free Ram. Something is eating it. With older version and other roms i got atleast 1Gb.
5. Battery drain. With no extra apps installed it takes battery like crazy max 1,5 h screen time wifi on, 3g off.
Everything else seems to work just fine. Ill keep this updated if i find out more.
Reason why im writing it here and not under the ArtMod topic is that nice XDA 10 posts thing.
Thanks, hoping for a reply soon.

6. The dual screen menu bar is offset. Or the button is just messed up. You have to. Press like 1,5 cm below the button for it to activate.

I have problem with Bluetooth.
When I press settings of some device in Bluetooth the application its force closed.

Is this actually a problem, on any ROM? I mean, does it cause any particular issues, rather than just seeing a number below 1GB? Two questions: 1) do you experience problems with your phone, and 2) is there an indication that they are caused by a low free RAM? My typical free RAM on VDT ROM is 700-800MB, give or take. My SGS5 (stock, but rooted and debloated) routinely goes below 600MB. Doesn't bother me, as everything still works perfectly fine. I don't run any memory cleaners, optimizers, etc., and rarely reboot my devices, unless I go into a flashing frenzy once in a while. Unless you know that this amount of free RAM is causing noticeable issues on your phone, why worry about it? Those 2GB of RAM are there to be used, so they are being used...

1. Volume buttons doesn`t work when movie is buffering (You can`t volume down or up while it`s buffering)
2. In wheather aplication "localization" doesn`t work when the GPS is off (Rom or KK bug?). In Jelly Bean wheather aplication could
find my localization when only the mobile data was on. Mayby i can`t find some option?
3. Bluetooth still crashes when I try to get to settings of some device
4. When I deleting pictures in galery, by moving finger up, aplication asks me if I realy want to delete the picture. This is annoying.

[Q] Sudden Lag. Jellykat v6.7.

Hi guys.
So I was on Jellykat ROM for few months and everything was working fine. Thanks to the developer for this awesome ROM.
Few weeks ago, my Note 2 got sudden lag after 7-8 hours of uptime.
1-When I'm on Whatsapp, I cant bring the keyboard up.
2-When I pressed the home key, its seem like the Touchwiz was reboot, take time to load the widget, shortcuts and folders. (2-3 seconds)
3-I cant go to dialer screen, when I pressed phone icon, its goes back to the home screen.
All of this problems can be solved by rebooting the phone but I want to know what causing them? Before this it was OK. Anything I need to clear/wipe?
Additional problem (non-lag issue)
1-When I'm on mobile data, the messsages I received from whatsapp are always delayed. Data roaming is enabled.
2-When apps asking for reboot and I pressed Yes, nothing happen, I need to reboot manually. (SuperSU update asking for reboot)
Thanks. Sorry for my English.

Bring up my post.
Still looking for solution.
Also I cant get my Walkman apps work anymore..

BUMP.

Looking for help to resolve screen freeze on Galaxy Note 8.0

My wife has a Galaxy Note 8.0 and has noted that recently the screen has been freezing on her.
The symptoms that she showed me was after the screen saver kicked in there was no response to get out of the screen saver. This is the default Android screen saver. It appears in such a state the screen does not sense her finger touch. Her Tablet is setup with a password to unlock in such a case and the screen not registering the finger touch would not allow any password entry. She believes this pin/password setup is not related to the problem.
The only recovery method when this non-responsive / freeze occurs (which is fairly frequent) is to hold down the power button and force a restart.
She has the tablet rooted.
Can anyone provide investigate methods and / or a solution to the problem? Possibly apps to provide log files which may log what the problem could be ? Or other approaches as to try as a fix. We checked her settings and did not notice anything untoward.
Many thanks for any or all for suggestions/help.
.

Ever try the spen to wake it out of screen saver?
You can disable screen saver and reboot, then enable it with no security and see of the tablet wakes and goes into home screen.
Being rooted, you must have installed a developer app or two, or even messed with system files at one time. Rooting usually does not cause problems, what causes them is the root utility or uncertified apps. I only recommend two root utilities, one is saferoot and the other is philz recovery. I have been through a lot of developer roms and utilities, and it was very hard to keep a stable tablet after customizing either factory os or tweaking builds.
If the problem does not clear out after my suggestion then a full wipe with cache format and load stock firmware. If running 4.2.2 do not upgrade ro 4.4.2 and if running 4.4.2 don't downgrade to 4.2.2

My wife currently thinks a 'facebook' app is the culpret
Thanks for the suggestions and I'll keep them in my mind.
My wife went on a large app removal effort, in case one of her apps was causing this problem. Yesterday afternoon she remove 'facebook' app and she has not yet since seen this freeze behaviour. Hence she is thinking the Android facebook app caused the problem . . . although its really too early to say at this time.
She plans to monitor for a re-occurence of the freeze, and if the bad behaviour continues then I'll sit down with her and chat wrt some of your recommendations.

Z1 Compact hangs in random moments

Hi
My Z1 Compact started to hang while opening apps or while using them. Sometimes it doesn't reset and then some things are not responding and whole interface disappear and comes up again.
I tried to record it with the screen recorder and the "show touches" option but the record wasn't saved. The "show touches" option worked during the hang.
Sometimes I can turn it off by clicking power button and power off but it takes some time to "read" my touch. There are no problems with the battery.
Is it a RAM problem? How can I find out what happens before and during the hang? Is there something like Windows event viewer for Android? My ROM was DstrikerZ1 Kai SP007, after the problems started I updated it to SP008, now it is on stock ROM with no root. The bootloader is locked and it was never unlocked.
I thought it would work for another 2 years

Are you saying that the problem was the same through both Dstriker versions, and straight stock? Was there full wipes in between? If so, I would think it's a hw issue, maybe digitizer... If not, best thing to test is a totally different rom with full wipe.

Maybe I'm wrong but I don't think digitizer can cause software freezes... If it was faulty I couldn't control the phone but it would respond anyway.
I flashed SP008 with data+system+cache+art cache wipe, then I flashed stock ROM via software repair in PC Companion.

A good app for what you're looking for might be OSMonitor from f-droid - https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=git&fdid=com.eolwral.osmonitor&fdpage=3 There's a 'message' tab, and a drop-down menu you can choose which type of log you want to read.

I don't understand this log ;/ There is a lot of messages.
I consider buying a Z1C with cracked screen and swapping the mobo, but first, I will call a technician.

Hello I have the same issues from today. It looks like a SW issue. I never do updates, except yesterday I did,...
I also saw that lots of people have issues with the latest update of Facebook.

Yes, it was all because of Facebook. I restored custom rom and all mods yesterday and it works fine so far.
Somebody wants us to throw old Z1Cs, but we throw FB app instead. Nice try mr. Zuckerberg.

I don't know why, but i have this problem, i don't think it's hw fault, i have the same issue in all my 3 z1, it's kinda funny, deleting Facebook App 'fixed' my problem

Had same freeze on SP007, so I downgraded to SP005, instead of upgrade to SP008.
SP005 runs much better and doesn't look like Pixel but has the XZ look :angel:

Had this issue all week and now I know it's Facebook! Was having hard / soft reset issues for like a week after this stupid Facebook update... thank god I checked here.

S7 active getting slow and laggy after all OTA updates

So far I never rooted or flash any rom manually. All OTA updates from Android 6. The phone is getting slow and laggy sometimes which really annoys me. Of course the number of apps installed might be an issue, but I don't have any games, no Facebook. All my apps are utilities like banks, smart homes, etc. I have hard reset a few times but it doesn't help. I believe the updates play some roles here as I didn't remember it being this laggy when I first bought the phone and it was on 6.0
So what should I do? I don't care if it's Android M or N, root or not. I just need a smooth phone. Does flashing back to 6.0 help? Or does rooting help? Thanks

Have you tried backing up your data and doing a factory reset?
Edit: Sorry, I guess that's the same thing as a hard reset. I don't have problems with my S7A being slow, and it's updated to almost the latest version (G1).

I am on BQH1 but I remember it happens in G1 as well. The most annoying thing is the fingerprint ready is not as responsive as before. A lot of time I can't unlock my phone with my finger.

yes , i have noticed after the new update take long time to wake etc , even after the factory reset , i am planning to go back marshmallow
but the interesting thing is that some times its OK no issues .

Slow Updates
Since upgrading to 7.0 Nougat my Play Store is slow as hell. Downloads are fast once it finally connects but it takes forever to start. I have factory reset phone.

Does anyone got a fix on this? The phone is just slow as hell, and I often find it's hard to unlock it, or just open an app...

Disabling some system apps (AT&T and Samsung bloatware) should help, using Application Manager. Disable apps that have no business running in the background or connecting to the net. Also, run Device Manager from time to time.
To make the Home button significantly responsive, DO NOT map it's double-press action to anything. Make sure that S-Voice cannot use it: disable in S-Voice settings.
I am assuming that your device is non-rooted, just like mine.

I belive earlier updates of Nogat works much MUCH more smooth on this phone.
I'm gonna start over from the D4 verison- I was running stock D4 nogat and everything was amazing... I go to this latest L6 December security update... total trash.
