[Q] Stock myTouch 4g, 100% CPU

Hi All,
I have a mt4g which is rooted with S=Off. I switch between the Sense launcher and Launcher Pro Plus. Usual apps on the phone, not too many.
For last week or so, I have been seeing that sometimes the phone gets really really laggy and Norton Util tells me that the CPU is 100%.
Also, I think most of the times, when this happens, I see a Sync icon up top. I do not sync a lot, just 2 GMail Inboxes and weather (every 6 hours). But I do see that Sync icon most of the times when this lagging happens.
I have tried removing apps, but this still seems to be a problem. I have see somewhere that turning the USB debugging to ON has helped many, but did not work for me.
I tried CM7 RC1 when it was out, but didnt like it (stock camera etc...) and I restored back to my stock ROM. Could this have done something?
Thanks
Ravneet

On your home screen hit menu key. Go to settings. Select accounts and sync. See what all is listed there. Chances are something with sense is constantly syncing.
Disable everything from syncing. See if the problem goes away. If so turn on one thing at a time until you find the culprit.
Hope that puts you in the right direction.

Have tried that. When I go there nothing is synching. Strange.
I have tried to remove all accounts from synch but still see the problem.
Went into recovery and wiped the cache about a hour ago. So far so good. Hope it stays this way.

I've noticed that there are apps that as soon as i download them, and open them that my cpu will go to 100% until I reboot my phone. System panel is a good app that isn't too obtrusive that will tell you exactly what app is doing what.
Have you installed anything new lately?

I uninstalled everything new.
Moreover I think every time this happens the battery is less than 30%. Maybe in low battery profile there are some apps which are over utilizing the CPU.

There's a couple threads like this. The stock Rom seems to have issues running rooted. Best bet would be to flash a different rom

Turn on USB Debugging... See if that does anything

USB debugging is set to ON.

@NicGraner: Why would the stock ROM have problems with being rooted?
I am still having this problem. Uninstalled everything that is not important.
The phone just becomes unusable and I have to reboot. Un-installed Watchdog Lite too, as I thought since it is monitoring, it is taking up some CPU in background too.
No widgets on the home screens.
I guess I am gonna do a full refresh using the PDxxx.zip and go back to stock stock and then see what happens. not sure if I will lose my root once I do that.

Try the royal glacier rom it's solid stable and the sh!t
http://www.thepetitionsite.com/2/stop-t-mobile-from-being-bought-by-att/.......

I returned 5 phones for this exact problem, then I finally got one where the usb debugging trick actually worked. Before that I was just using OSmonitor from the market to see when I was hitting 100% then I would have to yank the battery as that was the only thing that would make it stop.
When I got this new phone I installed os monitor and waited for it to happen again, which it did, then I turned on usb debugging and watched my cpu usage graph drop to 0%. SUCCESS! Unfortunately since this was my 6th phone this solution seems to be the exception rather than the rule.
I did a lot of poking around on google trying to fix this and found a lot of people with different results. Try disabling t mobile sync and go to the myaccount app in the market and uninstall the updates. If that doesn't work try getting a new sim card and sd card, or just keep returning phones until t mobile offers to send you a g2x...
Also if you search around you'll see that this isn't just a problem with the mt4g. I found multiple threads where this happens on the nexus one, and several galaxy s phones. I really hope google is aware of this.

@johnsmith970: Thanks for the info. I will try calling TMO tonight and see what they say.
I am really bugged by this now. The phone gets totally unusable once this happens.

They will say to do a factory reset. Every tech support person I talked to told me to do that. This didn't solve the problem for me at all. It still exhibited the same symptoms on a fresh reset and not even signed in to google.
I would advise calling htc support just to let them know you are having this problem. Sending back a half a dozen phones per customer can't be good for anyones wallet or their peace of mind.

I have no idea why the stock rom doesn't like being rooted it's just what's been said and the solution which is most widely given (and mostly worked unless theres an underlying problem) is to flash a custom rom.

OK! I have more information for anyone interested.
I am tracking processes now in OS Monitor app from Market.
Most of the times it is the bluetooth daemon (bluetoothd) that goes bonkers. I was connected to my GPS in my car while driving, and when I came out of the car...the bluetoothd is going bonkers...looks like it may be trying to 'find' the device it was connected to. At the same time logcat2 process is also utilizing 30+% of the CPU.
I turned off Bluetooth and both the processes went away
So let me see if this sticks for couple of days.
Thanks

I wasn't even rooted.

If you want to keep stock rom this is what I did and its absolutely solid.
Install this stock rom:

After installing this rom flash faux123 first time kernel. After its all booted up reboot back into recovery and flash faux123 cfs rc3 kernel. I have my cpu set at 1200mhz and everything is gravy.

[Q] Market problems with MR2

OK. So I waited and waited... I swore I wouldn't wipe and install MR2, but I just got sick of the reboots. I couldn't take it anymore and dove in.
While it was installing, all of them said "updating" except one said "skipping" or something to that affect.
Phone comes back....new splash screen, wiped, all is well, but when I start to download from the market it hangs up after about 6 apps have installed, and starts giving the "Could not install error, try again...."
I try again, no luck. 3G...no luck. Wi-fi...no luck, hard reset again, no luck. So I start sending apps to my phone via the online market, but of course it says about 20% of the apps I had on their an hour ago "Aren't compatible with my device".
I don't want to be stuck having to update through the computer market place. Any ideas?
Again....Hard reset twice, formatted the SD card, cleared the cache and history from the market place and Downloader several times.... IDK what to do. Any advice. (Helpful ADVICE! IN BEFORE DON'T FLASH TEST BUILDS!)
Thanx!

Are you rooted or no?

Not rooted. They are sending me another TB, but I am genuinely interested in what happened here. This is plain strange....

Ur not the only one with the market issues. Plenty of people, including myself, have reported that they cannot find many of their apps on the market. I'm pretty sure it's a bug in the OTA file and has something to do with the verizon signatures, or lack there of.

I just installed the Mr2.....I didn't have any problems...I have 3g,4g and WiFi....and all my market apps downloaded automatically and all works.....
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App

Yeah. I saw some other people had market issues and didn't want to make a dupe thread, but "some apps not showing up" is a little different than "no apps will install or update at all".
I REALLY wanted the MR2 update....no random reboots has been awesome. When I get my AE I'm going to play it safe and wait for the OTA though.
So strange I could push apps and install from SD, but market....still.....nada.

Are you rooted? Have you had any compatibility issues from the online market? Do your VZW apps work?

I reinstalled and all looks to work very well now!
The market still says i'm incompatible with applications I have purchased. I hope that is fixed with the maintenance the market has posted on the site...

OK. So last night Google tech support sent me something weird which seemed like an act of desperation.
I had been told by many to log into and out of google talk several times and try it again. I had already done this and nothing happened.
Google told me to log into and out of google talk 10 times in a row or more. Sitting there in boredom and I gave it a shot. IT FIXED EVERYTHING!
My AE is here and it's going straight back. So yeah...log into and out of Google talk like you have OCD and BOOM! It's fixed!

on MR2 i have trouble finding certain apps. for instance i couldn't find 'paypal' i had to find similar apps, open that market entry, and go to 'related applications' and paypal would be there

I haven't experienced that. I am how ever dealing with FIFA and The Sims. I bought them on my EVO.... no issue. 2 new phones later, they are not showing up as "purchased".
EA and Gameloft have been "working on this" for months. Frustrating.
I'm still on stock Froyo, are you on a custom build or the GB leak?

question for the "doc" lol, saw where everyone was talking about the "not working" apps in the dev thread, can we not go in and remove the apps ourselves? I just went in and removed TiBu with root explorer and re-installed the version i purchased then went in and removed all the apps that don't work or not gonna use, or was that not something I should have not did?

It's probably fine.
After you reinstalled TiBu were you able to update? I know there were a few people that were having issues with the TiBu not updating.
I once heard though, that it's better to freeze unwanted apps rather than uninstalling. Something to do with OTA updates looking for the bloatware in order to validate that your system is not hacked/rooted. Anyway, it's probably not a big deal, just ever since I read that I always just freeze rather than uninstall. Unless its an app I put on there and or I know that it's not something AT&T put on there. But myself, I would apply that same theory to any of the things included with the ROM, anything I don't want I'll freeze rather than uninstall.
Let us know if that worked for the updating of TiBu.

i could not update the TiBu that came with the rom but once I removed it and re-installed from market then the key no problems.. i did not know that about freezing the apps Ill remember that from the future, i just uninstalled the add on apps anyways I.E. ext4, reboot etc... so hope I will be good to go, if not gotten really good at odin and reflashing lol. Need to learn to just leave stuff alone and quit messing with things lol!! thanks for all you all's help and hope the development doesn't stop for the infuse.

I installed the rom, and have used it for a little over a day now.. I love the theme, and its def snappy, but has a few problems me and a friend found. We've both put the rom on our Infuses.
For a few flashes, my home button wouldn't work, but I think that was narrowed to backing up system data.. it now works for me though. On the first flash try, all calls being made TO my phone just got a busy signal, but I could call out.. My friend's phone calls only works when calling out. When he receives a call, itll end the call about 5 seconds into it.
He cannot turn his phone on while its plugged into the charger.. it wont do anything when he holds the power button. I cannot get root explorer to work, no matter what. I've reinstalled it, fixed permissions, still nothing. I now use another app to access it. When ever I get a new email and notification, my phone will freeze and reboot. I've had quite a few random reboots today as well, with my friend having only a few. It even rebooted while in the middle of a phone call.
I've tried a few different kernels, but not sure if i know when it installs correctly other than the phone boots up... I know the voodo kernel hasnt worked at all... itll sit on the samsung screen for at least 30 mins a few different tries.

Sounds like you have a bad flash. I'd start over, make sure you do your proper wiping. And read over the Dev section there are a lot of additional steps spread throughout. I will try to compile them into one post when I get some free time. Good luck.

I've redownloaded the flash to my computer twice, recopied it to my phone twice, started with a complete fresh rom using odin that was already rooted and CWM installed, and wiped all data possible. I've followed all the steps, done reboots in between sometimes just to try something different.. I've reflashed my rom at least 6 times in the past two days maybe trying different things .

has anyone had bad battery drain with this? last night i charged 100% before went to bed, had JD running on aggressive mode, wifi anf BT disabled as well as setcpu no OC and profile for 400/100 when screen off.... got up this morning 6 hours and was at 38%, ive been running the rom for days now so i think its had time to bake but not sure what else to do? any suggestions.

Thats odd with the battery drain...mine has been doing great....so your saying it didnt fully charge? or it was full, u unpkugged went to bed woke up and it drained that much? that doesnt make sense...no rom should do that....check your runnibg services and tell me what all is constantly running

i thought something may have got messed up so i just odin back to stock before i read this sorry dman, if someone say "me" was going to start back from scratch..... just odin, root, flash community kernal to get CWM then flash rom? should just leave kernal and modem alone? i know everyone has there own personal preference but as i talked to experiment just need to leave stuff alone lol. in other words with this rom what would "you" set up with i.e. kernal, modem, tweaks/ no tweaks, etc.... thanks for the feedback

Q- Can we remove the extra sounds when plugging in, powering on or off?
I know it sounds petty but I have my phone w/me at work and every time I plug it in to charge it plays that "Charging enabled" voice over. Can this be shut off? I SO SO SO love this Rom so far!! I have flashed quite a few and this one is my favorite so far!
TIA for any ideas.

No it cant be shut off...part of the doctors programming...you can tirn the volume down

Camera App crashes on startup

Hey, I just got my One X in the mail today. Everything works just fine, except the stock camera application crashes every time on startup - it'll flash the outline of the interface then close. Other camera-linked applications work like instagram, goggles, QR, etc. It's only the stock application. I've tried everything short of a factory reset (and I don't know how to do a factory reset). This is quite infuriating so any help would be appreciated, thanks!

I have the same issue with ONE S

This is happening with my One S as well!

Try a factory reset. If that doesn't work, run an RUU. If that doesn't work (it should), then exchange it.

Factory reset is under Settings -> Storage. It's the last option on the menu.

Believe it or not,I downloaded an app, "DV hot girls", and I guess it wasn't 1x or ICS friendly cause it gave me that same exact symptom.
I uninstalled the app and all was well in Oz.
A few weeks later I reinstalled the app to rule out the possibility of it having been a fluke fix, and low and behold the app immediately recreated the same camera crash.
moral of the story: try rolling back some apps.

Reflash the ROM, wiping dalvik cache wont work because all the dalvik cache is made of is the classes.dex files that contain the code for apk's.

Whatever dude. I've been flashing ROMs since the original G1 and I'm just sick of things NOT working being the norm. The amount of time it takes to get a ROM to run stable is not even worth it. After you spend hours reading everything to get your phone ready to flash the fancy cool ROM, stuff still doesn't work properly. Oh, and for the record, I've never owned an iPhone, so I don't see how Apple could call me back.

I did clear the app cache, it didn't solve anything, hence why I came here. The issue has resolved itself after several reboots/ clearing phone related apps. I don't understand why you're assuming I haven't figured out basic android ROM troubleshooting, seeing as I have to do it every other day. It's obvious to me you are a fanboy who takes personal offense whenever anyone says anything negative about Android. You care more about not being an iSheep than having a functional device. Stock android has major faults, which is why I bother rooting to begin with. I detest Apple, and am pretty jaded with Android.

I've been ruining custom roms since I got my device and honestly they have proven to be much more stable than stock. When I was stock I had random reboots after doing simple tasks , that had Never happened to me on custom roms. My experience has been nothing but positive! I'm sorry you had such a negative experience but not everyone has had negative experiences . Your probably going to bash me for saying this because your hateing right now but I'm being completely honest .I for one enjoy my custom roms and NEVER had serious issues with them ! I'm very grateful to have them available to me. Android had proven to be the best and most customizable operating system I've ever used! If your not satisfied go find something else however you will find in the end that Android is the better system . If you don't agree Then just stay happily with what ever other system you choose. But in all honesty I can't see finding a better system than android . Again sorry you have had such a negative experience but not many share your view. Best of luck to you and in what ever you decide to switch too. But personally I'm sticking with android and my custom roms. They have brought me great satisfaction.
