My DINC runs great most of the time. But at least once a day it will become very very slow and almost unresponsive. The commands still work, but take 5-10 seconds to complete. A reboot fixes it completely until the next time that it occurs. This has happened with every kernel, ROM, radio, recovery etc. that i've flashed. I first noticed this after flashing a Cyanogen release MONTHS ago and it hasn't gone away since then. Has anybody else run into this and come up with a fix?
I'm currently running MIUI 12.11 with the 2.15.00.09 radio and invisiblek's #18 kernel...obviously i'm rooted with S-off as well.
I have that happen periodically but it is pretty rare and usually I am trying to do a bunch of things at once so I just assume it is user load on the phone.
try unsyncing everything for a day - see if it still happens
If you call it a dinc its going to act like one.
seriously though you have given us nothing to go on here.
what are you running? have you done a full wipe/factory reset?

What do you mean i've given you nothing to go on? I said exactly what i'm running. I don't know what more info you'd want about my phone... I've tried system wipes and flashing different ROMS...all to no avail. This can occur when the phone is sitting idle and other times it happens when i'm doing small things like using TFLN (texts from last night). When I was running Cyanogen months ago it would occur every morning when I would go to turn off my alarm...so it was happening at some point during the night when I was doing nothing. The only app that I have running overnight is Locale.
I basically posed the question to see if anyone else is having the same issue. If not, then it probably has to be something to do with one or more apps not playing nicely.
Make sure you do a full wipe, wipe dalvik, each time you flash to a different ROM.
Second, are you overclocking at all? If you are using setCPU, make sure that the max speed is set to at least 998. I have run into where installing a new ROM the max/min speeds are set low to 245. This causes overall phone slowness though...
If you are overclocking, set it to 998 max and see what happens. I cannot go over 1113600 max or my phone gets all weird.

ditto.
if your phone is syncing a lot of things (facebook, 5 e-mail accounts, twitter, etc.) it might be slowing things down significantly.
Hi.!
I have a disturbing problem with my gnex.
Running Xylon 14 stable with franco kernel. I always use latest version of everything.
But my problem comes from past time and still continues.
When i install an app, from market, from blackmkrt or as an apk doesnt matter my phone frozes for 30 secs.
I cant do anything while doing that. Then it comes back to normal.
Its really annoying cuz sometimes play store crashes because of that, my navbar goes then comes back.
i have over 140 apps installed and i always flash roms wiping data and cache. always clean install.
but restoring apps from titanium backup.
When i do clean flash, if i install anything from anywhere, nothing happens, my phone acts normal.
Is this related to titanium backup? or Rom problem (Which i dont think so) or Related to so many apps installed.
Thank you..
Probably one of the apps u r restoring using Titanium Backup is giving u problem. I would do a clean install and download/install the apps one by one instead of restoring them with titanium backup. I know is painful doing this for 140+ apps but I don't think u use all of them.

I'm having the same issue, not quite as bad as 30 secs, but my phone will practically lock up when installing or uninstalling apps, or just any general file operation. I am also using xylon (16-1, also tried 19 and tried xenonhd latest). Tried multiple kernels doesn't seem to make any difference.
If you haven't already tried using Lagfix from the market, that might just fix your problem, I think it worked for me a couple times but I'm not 100%. Now it doesn't see to help at all.
Yesterday I decided to wipe everything and install from scratch, installing all apps from the market, and a few manually, it seemed better at first. Then I restored a few remaining apps with Titanium Backup (i needed to restore the data and app). Not sure if thats made it worse or not but it still hangs when installing/uninstalling apps. Very frustrating, after I spent probably over 4 hours (I have a lot of apps).
Seems like the CPU clock gets maxed out when this happens, but I can't see high usage from any apps in particular... I know this is not normal behavior because last week my phone was running perfectly with same rom and kernel, it would not lag/freeze when doing any file transfers or installs etc..
Wish I could pinpoint this issue its really driving me nuts. However I think you should definitely try Lagfix it might fix your issue.
i had the same thing happening on every rom/ kernel i tried .
and i also noticed that the cpu usage spikes to 100% for the time the device locks up.
i also noticed unusual high cpu usage whenever i/o was happening.
so i finally returned to stock and have not had any lock ups yet and the cpu never goes to 100% during i/o. its also high, but not maxed out.
i also noticed this on other devices with custom roms which makes me believe that it has to do with some stuff that was changed in the rom or kernel.
i will stay on stock for some time to see if the lockup will come back because everybody tells me it will... so i will report back in a couple of days and let you know if it started to lag.
oh and i restored all apps with titan backup like i had them in the custom rom so this can not be the issue.

I can confirm the high CPU usage during the heavy i/o was happening. My phone would run cpu clock maxed, and then gets hot. One of the processes using a lot of CPU was System or System UI. I was also getting system ui crashes, without a error message though, it would just close and restart system UI by itself. When I checked battery stats showed Android_System which is System UI I believe.
I'm going to try again from scratch with a custom rom (one that was at one point not giving me problems xylon 16-1). This time i'm going to wipe everything including the internal SD.
AFAIK dalvik cache is generating right after installing app. Its like boot time increases after wiping dalvik cache.
And if so - its might be CPU greedy =.)

I see, maybe there is something gone wrong with the dalvik cache or something (I have no clue about dalvik cache) Is there perhaps an upper limit to the number of apps where the dalvik cache gets full or too large that would cause this issue? I've wiped cache and dalvik cache quite often (when trying other kernels recently) and it didn't seem to help the issue.
I went ahead and wiped everything went back to stock 4.2.1, installed 50+ apps via the market, phone barely got warm, and everything continued smoothly no freezing or high cpu usage during this (normally have 175+ apps installed).
I will test restoring app my other apps via Titanium Backup on the stock ROM and see what happens. Will report back...
I don't think I will stay on the stock rom for much longer, there are quite a few tweaks in these custom roms that I'm missing. But I will keep testing for now.
Thanks,
EDIT: Restored my missing apps with titanium (total 104 user apps) and everything is still smooth, including when installing and uninstalling apps from the play store etc... Will wait and see if that changes though.

Humm, I have the same terrible performance from Play Store. XENON HD Stable 4.0 and Franco kernel r364, although the problem goes back through many prior versions of this ROM and kernel.
I have almost 300 apps on the device, and Play Store seems to be the only one that kills the system. I'm also running the "seeder" app, which helped eliminate all other lag on the device FWIW.
A solution would be awesome, but for now, I just walk away from my comm dev and interact with the spousal unit. Strange, I know.

I should have updated earlier.
What I did was wipe everything including internal sd, then installed paranoid android rom, installed ak.Dummy kernel 673. Let the play store restore all my apps. Everything was smooth as hell almost 24hrs running so perfectly I was even running max cpu at 920mhz, everything was perfect until restoring some last remaining apps with titanium backup.
Soon as I did that lag and freezing has come back. Lag is so bad at times system ui force closes.
Edit: I just uninstalled all the apps that I had restored with titanium backup. So far the lag is still there somewhat.
This is really driving me fn nuts. If I wasn't so used to a lot of these custom rom features/tweaks, I would just stick with the stock 4.2.1 rom. That was the only rom that didn't eventually had even after restoring apps with titanium backup.
Anyway IMO there is something funky going on when restoring apps with titanium backup. That's when it all starts lagging again for me anyway. Device starts to get hot AGAIN (even though I have cpu still set to 920mhz max).
I've had this same issue with the following ROMs:
Xenon hd (latest)
Xylon (16-19 builds)
Paranoid android (latest)
So it doesn't seem to be rom specific...
I'm going to start over again for the millionth time (feels like) and wipe everything, and install paranoid android again but this time avoid titanium backup, but even going to install it.
I will report back.

Interesting. I use CWM for the ROM manager and Titanium to restore the apps. Haven't seen the lag problem, except after dirty flashes of XENON. After wiping, the lags went away, but only when using seeder (the free version from these forums).
For a while, I thought it was Facebook causing the lag. Every time I'd check OS Monitor, Facebook was running the CPU's at 40% or more. I backed off the refresh interval to one hour. Its now behaving normally but I'm not convinced that it caused the lags.
I concur: something is causing the lags. Maybe the community can piece together the common elements to isolate it. For now, my phone is running better than new and I'm really happy with the performance.

I will definitely give this "seeder" app a try this is the first I've heard about it. Thanks!
FWIW, I did have facebook installed but I had all refresh/notifications set to manual and/or off, never did see any high CPU usage with the facebook app in all the times I've been monitoring for this issue.
Thanks again,

I've yet to try it thought, been trying to isolate the cause of this lag...which I might have found, sort of...
After wiping and installing everything from scratch 3 more times, it seems like if I go over 100 apps (number might be lower) that seems to the the trigger point. Once I hit this unknown number of apps installed its like a light switch gets flipped and everything goes to @#[email protected]#$, and lag starts.
This last time I only installed the most essential apps (which still was total of 60-70 lol) So far no lag at all, everything is running great, no lag when installing or uninstalling apps on the market etc..
Running as smooth as it does after a complete wipe and first install. So that's my thought for now, no idea what the actually issue is or how to fix it, other than staying below a certain number of apps. This seems to fix this issue for me at least for now anyway.
Few other things to note, I didn't let the market restore my apps automatically, I installed them one by one... Also did not install or use titanium backup, which I was suspecting as the cause initially, but it was just after restoring all my apps with TB, I went over this "X" number of apps installed that would cause the lag to begin.
Will update if anything changes.
i have exactly the same behavior...

My phone is freezing like all the other threads on here but mine only does it during gameplay I've tried different roms but all were the same, right now my current setup has the least freezes but it still freezes a lot. I've done everything correctly when flashing, wiped everything completely and I also tried everything that other people on this forum has suggested. I've tried Lagfix trim app, Dummy file generator, seeder, kernal tweaks, turning off sync, adjusting wifi settings. Nothing has worked! I've even let my phone sit there for about 3 hours to let it unfreeze itself to see if that would help, but it didn't help. My freezes are different, when it freezes I can go back into the home screen within seconds and when I get back into the game, everything is fine but it will freeze again after 30 seconds. Other than that, my phone runs insanely smooth and fast.
Does anyone know what is wrong with my phone? and how to fix this problem? or any other possible solutions?
P.S: I know it's not a memory problem either, I have a bit over 11gb of free space on internal memory and 4gb on SD.

Check your kernel settings. Could be a voltage or governor issue. If that doesn't work, flash the kernel again or try another one. Are you running a nightly or stable release of Cm? Also, do a nand and flash a stock rom and see if you have the same issue.
Sent from my TouchPad using Tapatalk 2
Yes it's a stable release of cm, also I tried flashing it again but no luck. The governor is on ondemand setting. I've also tried a lot of other new things and it worked a bit better but still freezes. Anyone else with suggestions?
Also, I don't know how to mess with the voltage.. Lol it just looks like numbers to me..

Yesterday i decided try Clean Rom on my SGH I317M Note 2 and before i flash the new Rom, i did a benchmark using Antutu.
The stock Rom with most bloatware remove was hitting numbers up to 21000, for some reason after installing Clean Rom Ace 5.0 no matter what i do it wont pass the 16k line and is really weird cause with Clean Rom is using less memory, it has less apps on.
I went and checked the cpu clock and put the min mhz to match the previous setup and yet it wont go past 16500. Power saving was off when testing and no program besides Antutu was on.
I really want to know why the low numbers when you can see clearly that Clean Rom is consuming less resources. Thanks in advance.

You may want to take this complaint to Scott's website but I doubt you will be satisfied since he stopped supporting this device.
http://www.scottsroms.com/content.php?
Thanks for the reply guys, i currently don't have a picture of data of the benchmark done with the stock Rom, however i took pics of a benchmark i did moments ago.
Here an stability test result. Dunno if this helps.
This is weird... i turned off Air view and did the test again, the score went up to 20145. The weird part is that the power saving feature seems broken cause when i did the test with the feature on it did a better score which was 20675.
I have no idea on what its going on with the phone at the moment but it seems related to the power saving mode.
Testing again today found outthat the score again dropped to 16447 with a change in the phone. Multitask score went down almost by 1.3k, same with Dalvik.
Update
Testing all weak and i think i found the cause of the performance drop on my phone. For some reason i was playing Real Racing 3 when i found the game was getting a little slow in fps terms. So i went and deleted cache and dalvik, then after reboot i started playing again and is was running really neat and fast!
I decided to run Antutu again and to my surprise the phone was benchmark at 20700 constantly. Then i did the test again but with power saving on just to mark how much performance will drop with the feature on. The test came up with 16221 on benchmark, once again i wanted to test the phone with the feature off and after turning it off and waiting a couple of minutes did the test again.
The odd thing i found is that is was bench marking as if the power saving feature was on! 16000+ on all tests!! So again... went and deleted the dalvik and cache just to test again. After reboot, turned on Antutu and tested 4 times in a row, guess what? all test were 20k+!!!
Does this mean the power saving feature is broken?
Hey guys, need some help. I have an AT&T H810 rooted 10o. My little cores seem to be running full out at 1440mhz even though my governor is set to Interactive. This is causing it to heat up incredible, to 70c+, and is draining the battery quickly. It seems to have only started occurring in the last few days! I can run it in powersave governor which fixes it to 384mhz, and it fixes the problem, but I don't understand why it is running at full speed under interactive now. The big cores do NOT have this problem AT ALL.
I've removed any apps I installed during that time, cleared my phones cache, cleared the memory, I have tried running it in airplane mode, I've looked into what apps were running and it seems to be very few. Turned location off. I've tried freezing the play services because I have been getting a very intermittent force close. I have also tried to disable all xposed modules, and used avg to scan for any malware. Possibly init.d? Possibly the new xposed v79? I'm at a loss as to what is causing this!
Does anyone have any other ideas as to what could be happening?
There's always the good old factory reset if everything else fails.
Just asking the obvious but there is no offending wakelocks or anything that sticks out in the battery usage stats?

Battery usage Android OS is highest at 33, followed by screen at 16%.
Wakelocks, I seem to have them under control with amplify, and I don't see any new ones.
Question about factory reset, I am not near a pc for the next few days, will it cause any problems with xposed or my rooted system image, and basically what can I expect with it? I came from a M8 where with custom recovery I was pretty fearless with being to wipe and refresh, can't do that here.
Noticed that disabling 2 of the little cores with kernel auditor really helps with the heat buildup of the phone with not much slowdown

Doesn't solve why it's running at full speed, but I'll keep that in mind.

Personally I never done a factory reset myself yet so i cannot comment.
For the most part it does look like you have something to work with seeing Android OS is taking up the most battery. The hard part is tracking down which process. I'm not the best at this so maybe someone else can chime in. Try taking a look at your currently running processes and see if there's anything odd
Well, after a few factory resets which did not affect xposed, I was able to resolve it to where the cores now return to 384mhz idle. It was something that was installed, and it took 3 or 4 resets after restoring my app backups, and I'm still not sure which app was the culprit. I'm possibly wondering if it was the Amplify module
Sorry for bumping this. I just suffered from this problem and it seems for me it was antutu. For some reasons it was running the background keeping the 4 small cores at 1,2-1,4 cuz constantly. I stopped it and now it's back to normal. Just wondering why it started itself in the first place.
