[Q] Status Bar crashes often - G Tablet General

For no reason, suddenly, the status bar FCs and then disappears. I cannot bring it back without a full restart. does any1 have an idea why? I'm running a relatively new gTab on CM7.0.3
Also, man, the boot up time is in minutes. Many games don't open or FC and everything is laggy. I really am sorta regretting getting this tablet. Any tips on speeding up would be greatly appreciated.

My GTab/CM7.03 setup does the same thing. At first everything was great but after several weeks it started doing just as you describe with the exception that if I don't reboot eventually the status bar comes back. I have yet to figure out what is causing it. I have been contemplating trying some honeycomb just to see if I can stay with one of those, if not, I may revert to a froyo version to see what the limitations are with that. I do know on my cell froyo seems faster with less slowdowns that the gingerbread though I have stayed with gingerbread there.

Ut-Ohhh...Doomed to a hard reset? Process System Not Responding

Anyone ever see the message "Process system not responding". Here's the story.
Well, I've been installing apps like a loose cannon, figuring I may be dooming myself to a hard reset, and it may have come to pass.
Last thing that happened while the phone was running good, was I ran the demo of the 3D game XXXXXXXXX. I received a call, and had to hop away, and after that the phone became unresponsive. Looking at what was loaded with Advanced Task Killer, I did not see the game to kill, so I turned off the phone.
Now, it is taking a very long time to 'boot'. The Phone is Locked screen would pop up, and I'd try to slide it off, and it would slide about half off. Screen black except for the clock of the lock screen. And after sliding off half way, the screen would go black, as if it was off, but then the lock screen would come back.
Kept thinking that ultimately it would finish. After a bit I got the task bar at top, and it was saying preparing internal memory'Preparing Internal Mass Storage"; then finally " Media scanner running". Finally a few icons from the dock. But everything else still black.
Then finally it would come up with a big message "Sorry!. Process system is not responding. buttons for Force close, and Wait. I don't know if that is an Android message, or an app message. I tried force close, and it went back into the same iteration of events.
So the next time i tried a boot, I did not respond to the message for a while, and it seemed to be making progress behind the message. It went off, I turned it back on, it had lock screen, moved it off a bit easier.
Then finally it came up more screen things in place. Then again with a message "Process system is nto responding". Let it set 'til it went off again. This time it came up a bit futher, and this time it came up with window to select launcher. I selected TWiz launcher. Process message again, and I killed it this time.
Whewh...Still not resolved.
I guess if there are any suggestions short of hard reset, i'm interested in hearing. maybe one of you have had this happen. If it ever finishes loading, first thing I'm going to do is remove that game.
One thing that is a pain and I think contributes, is that so many apps load by default it seems. And the more you install the more that happens, from what I have seen. I know I don't have as many apps installed as I've seen others reference, but I do have 2-3 different memory type utilities that I've wondered if they woudl interfere with each othre, but they supposedly don't all load at boot.
Post long enough. I'll add more if I find anything interesting.

Well, the above post exactly describes what I have on my Captivate as well. Long boot times, "process system not responding", black screens, media scanner running/completed repeatedly, severe lagging...
Does anyone have any advice on how to deal with this issue? I've uninstalled my most recent apps, but it has not made any difference. Many thanks for any guidance!
Sounds like both of you need to restore to stock...Look in the Dev section for the Stock Odin3 1 click post..it is a sticky so it should be up towards the top..Follow the instructions and you will be back to stock...
The problems I mention above occur mostly during a reboot. The phone does eventually come up, with only occasional lagging still left (which may be more typical). I am torn between dealing with the lagging until Froyo is released (hopefully later this month) or perform the "restore to stock" you mention.
If I decide to "restore to stock", does that mean I lose everything? apps, messages, config, customizations, etc.
And if I lose everything, can I restore some apps with Titanium Backup? TB was loaded 2-3 weeks ago and I do have a full backup.
When Froyo comes, will it require the same or will it upgrade the existing OS and leave apps alone?
Many thanks for your response jhernand1102
I did that too, I sett a replacement lock screen wrong (because it asked me too) and there I was with out s phone for a few hours. The one click odin didn't work for me though. So I used the updated stock rom jh2 i believe. Look for the stock rom threads in developers forum as well as the one click odin.
If the one click odin doesn't work feel free to pm me with questions on the other rom.
Make sure you read it but they is a lot there that may confuse you.

With titanium backup you should be fine. I haven't used it but that's the point of it. A reflash may be easier the finding the error and correcting the problem. And during any flash you may have some risk of losing something but I don't think, going to froyo will lose apps by design. Anyway you have titanium backup and samsung kies to help you keep everything.
Good luck!

I guess I forgot to post back what I had to do...having had no replies at all. I think I ended up in another thread.
Anyway...I did in fact have to reflash. Using the one-click which I believe is this thread is what I used.

Thanks to all for replying today! I will go ahead and re-flash to stock. I was hoping it would be longer (a few months) before I'd have to re-load, but I guess when you live on the edge (root and lots of installs), ya gotta be ready for things to go wrong.
I do love this phone though and Android after being on a BB for so many years! It is pretty much a 1.0, so we should expect bugs and work arounds until they work the kinks out. In a crazy sort of way, it is still fun to work through these gotchas. Thanks again!
Yeah. I really hated the idea of a reflash.
but, if you haven't yet, you need to look in the DEV thread, and look into Clockwork Mod and Rom Recovery. As well, you should get teh paid version of Titanium backup.
Between those two things, occasional reflash and reload is not too painful.
I've learned so much today! Got the paid version of Titanium Backup for an easy "restore all via batch" and also did the ROM Mgr / Clockwork Recovery (thanx ewingr). So, I now have the best of both worlds for getting out of a jam and looking forward to trying out any new ROM's that may come out; with ease thanks to these apps!

[Q] G Tablet Cyan7.0 Market will not open

I have had my Viewsonic GTab for about 4 days now, and have probably wiped and reinstalled a half dozen mods trying to get a fully functioning Android Market. The closest I have come has been able to come only has gotten me the Market icon. But it opens a white screen which rapidly closes itself. I installed Cyanogenmod7 back to back with gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip
After installing GApps the whole system becomes extremely buggy in general, including the home button not working. I am not concerned with that though.
I have tried many walk throughs but the vast majority of them are related to the less broken Market that you can at least semi-access.
I scoured through this and other sites looking for guidance before resorting to posting, so I hope I didn't overlook a thread that was related to this exact problem.
Regards,
Sacrifusion
Im having the exact same problem. Gmarket not force closing and homebutton not working within cyanogen
Anyone find the solution? I have had may Gtablet for months working great until yesterday. I am running CM7 daily release 5/24/11 and everything was working fine, added netflix mod to build.prop and ran it for a about a week no issues but now market opens then closes. Any help?

You have some incredible timing buddy. After weeks of my gtab just sitting in my bag, today I decided to pop Gingerbread on it w/ a fully operational Market and it's running smoother than I have ever seen it. But, I did run into a skirmish with Netflix (MOD 2) that semibricked it for a half hour. Wound up playing many back to back games of beat the clock as it would reboot after making it to the home screen for a few seconds before I was able to make it to the app manager fast enough to uninstall it. I know there were probably simpler ways to go about it, but I'm running on only a few hours of sleep.

has anyone had adw ex problems after the update

after the update it is screwed on my galaxy tab wtf what happened is anyone else having any problems i have switched to launcher pro for now
anyone??????????
No issues on N1
The update has been perfect for me on my N1, 2.3.4.
The scrolling speed is way faster, and everything else works as well or better than prior to the update.
thats crazy every thing was small and didnt fit right cld not fix it and ive used adw forever
Update
I couldn't figure out how it works. It deleted all my home folders, and I couldn't find a user guide anywhere. I finally did a restore to get the old one back. It looks as though he put a lot of work into it, but without instructions, it's not my idea of a game trying to figure out how to use it!
There were instructions with the update. Rather good ones i thought!
Anyway, apart from adding an unwanted Dock and Icon to my layout, (which i soon rectified), everything seems to be exactly as it was before. None of the new features do anything for me, it's just more unticked options in settings.
I hope the guys with issues mange to get to the bottom of it. If you upgraded, i would try a clean install before giving up hope.

[Q] HTC Sense restarting all the time?

I've got a stock evo shift with the most recent OTA update (Android 2.3.3 Sense 2.1 Software number 2.76.651) and my Sense has been restarting ALL THE TIME. I'll be using an app, hit the home button or the back button to get to my home screen, and it'll show a white screen with the green HTC then show my home screen with a loading message for 5-10 seconds. This only started happening after updating and it's starting to get pretty annoying. Anyone else have this problem/know of a solution for it? I've tried reboots and it usually seems to make it happen less for a little while but it always starts to happen again.
Since you said Stock. Does that mean unrooted? It is a known issue on Stock Gingerbread. The Memory settings are to agressive. You can try AutoKiller Memory Optimizer to change the settings. But it will only help so much.

yup, unrooted unfortunately. waitin for the root to come out. that's pretty stupid that HTC/sprint would put that out without fixing it. devs these days
Hey bud, same Problem here, it happens almost everytime I press the home icon, also when im using the.internet and an email/txr.comes in and I pull down the.notification bar and click on whatever I received then after.i get back on the internet it restarts.again.. Pretty annoying when watching.videos. I wish I could get,back to 2.2.

I had the same problem - got to where almost every time I switched back to the home screen from doing anything, it would have to reload. I tried disabling fast boot and it didn't do anything for me. I did a factory reset, re-downloaded the apps I wanted to keep, and that seemed to fix the problem. Very rarely happens anymore, only seems to occur when I am in the browser for a long time or playing a game for a while. Hope this helps.
I'm rooted, on the stock rom, and sense would re-load. I use Launcher Pro now, and while I still get a few reloads, the launcher refreshes much quicker than sense, and it does have widgets similar to Sense. I had paid for LP Pro last year, with my Evo, so I figure I'd use my paid app.

Display stops working, mostly, on second boot after installing non-stock.

I've got an odd problem with my p900. If I install any lollipop ASOP ROMs, the first time I reboot after initial install, the display mostly stops working. The first boot works fine, I go through the setup wizard, set everything up, and the tablet works and displays fine as long as I don't reboot.
Specifically, what will happen if I reboot is that the tablet will go through the normal boot, and get to the point when the wallpaper and status bar will come up, but no homescreen icons or anything. Then after a while, about 2-5 minutes, the display will go black except for the status bar. I can pull down the notifications drawer from the status bar, and it will display, as will the quick settings, but anything I tap to try to interact with will seemingly just do nothing. If I have 'show touches' on, then touches will display properly, anywhere on the screen, but they seem to do nothing. I've tried trebuchet, google now, and adwex, the home app doesn't seem to make a difference.
The problem first began in I want to say october, when I flashed a CM12 nightly update. I unfortunately no longer remember which nightly I was on nor which I flashed to. I of course immedately tried to flash back to the previous nightly when I discovered the problem, but it did no good. It took me a while to figure out the pattern to the problem after it first occurred, as I often don't reboot the device for a long while after a first install. I don't have a lot of spare time to devote to sitting down and just focusing on trying different things, so it wasn't until president's day weekend that I tried what I *thought* would fix it, ODINing back to stock and installing the latest CM12.1. Clearly that didn't work, or I wouldn't be posting.
I've tried the 20151104, 1029, 1006, and 0910 CM12.1s from http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...nt/rom-cyanogenmod-12-lollipop-5-0-1-t2971945. I've also tried Civz lollipop, pacman, and resurection remix. Anything not stock based has the problem. I tried running stock, but I've been running CM since G1 days, and I just can't stand stock, even the stripped down and modded versions. It just doesn't work right, and I can't get used to it, even after forcing myself to use it for several days.
I've never encountered such a weird problem, and I can't seem to find anyone else having a similar problem. I have no idea how to troubleshoot this beyond what I've done already. I'm currently running thompatry's Cm12.1 20160212, having not rebooted after the initial install, and it's running mostly ok, but I live in dread of my battery dying, and of course I can't install any xposed modules like xprivacy or multiwindow, which is bothersome. I have the wifi only US model, v1awifi, and I'm currently running TWRP 3, tho I was on TWRP 2.8.something when the issues first started happening.
what's the last 3 characters of your bootloader version?

Have you tried changing kernel? I mean in the case of civz lollipop rom you do get an option of 2 different kernels try choosing the opposite to the one you had chosen before. Thank you, hope it helps.
I won a year ago 2 Note Pro, one works flawlessly while the other is slow af and it has the same issue that you speak about. If I stay on stock everything is good more or less (sometime little slow), but if I install Lineage or any other Custom Rom is too slow and has the same issue you speak.
I changed both batteries, but nothing to do. If anyone knows, text please.
Thank you!
