Skyrocket lags

i have a new skyrocket , well under my 30 days they replaced it because of screen then over heating issue , this one lags , i noticed the lag mainly in the text massege app, anyone have the same issue or did i get a 3rd bad phone ? my last one lagged as well , just wanna make sure if they got a batch of bad phones?

Try flashing a custom ROM. Ive never had any lag problems.

im using stock . so in your opinion i got a bad headset ?

When I was on stock, my skyrocket was AMAZINGLY fast. I think its just you, ask for another to see how that one is.

what LAG are you speaking of.....scrolling?, Loading?, be more specific so others can say if they had/have that problem.
personally i have not seen ANY lag on this phone until i installed Go Launcher<<<
which will will cause some lag.

What I mean is a freezing when I go to my text masseges. It will lock for a second. I only have 3 apps. Nothing in the background running

may just be a glitch sort of thing......unless your last one was having the EXACT same lag with the messeging. i would say load up a ROM or even reflash the stock rom that you have and it may go away.

Thats No lag. It's take a sec or two to open. The cpu needs time to react.

2 seconds to open an app IS LAG......lol
weather its an app drawer or messaging, mine opens in just under a sec everytime..........
but im on a custom ROM and using ADW Ex.

It's not even 2 seconds. It's like it's hanging up

Does it lag during calls and hang up?

That's so weird... as soon as I press messages, it snaps into action and is open before I can even react.
There's something obviously wrong with that one. Try rooting it and running a custom ROM, if that doesn't help, then exchange it.

No lag here.. rooted and stock rom and overclocked... Insane speed..

Well it doesn't do it all the time now. But my.original one did it too. It's way less than a second. It must of been all in my head because everything else works very fast so I think I'll wait till I see my update to the 2.3.6 & go from there.

Problem Fixed . called texh support explained whats wrong & they were very nice even though i was over my 30 days by 3 days , they called a store went off on them because they denied me the exchange & told them to do whatever i want done because they have to make me happy . LOL so i went & said I've had it with the black one & got the white one & couldnt be happier , thank you all for all the help

i think there isn't lag but it's slower coming from an i9100.
scrolling isn't as smooth, and the messaging app is a little funky at times too.
but idk the difference is negligible they're both awesome phones

Screen turns on when netbook closed

This has bugged me forever, and I've never seen anyone else talk about it, and it's a difficult/impossible thing to search for. If you turn your screen off while docked, then close the netbook, does your screen turn on? Mine does. my screen timeout is set to 5 minutes (since I use it like a laptop) so this is annoying as it drains an extra 5 minutes of battery. Anyone figured out a fix for this?
Sent from my Transformer TF101

mine was doing that all last week and it was killing my batterylife so that i would have 0 in dock and 60 in tab at the end of the day vs my normal 60in dock 100 in tab. i just reflashed revolver and rebooted a couple times and it seemed to have fixed the problem

It definitely is annoying, I agree. One thing that I've been doing is making sure the screen is on before I close the lid. At this point it has become second nature for me to do that when I stop using my tablet, and as such less annoying.
Still, a permanent fix would be nice.

I've reflashed many times and this issue has existed for as long as I can remember (back when I originally bought the device). No amount of reboots has helped, unfortunately...

Random reboots in Bryan's kernel

While there may be another issue underlying, one of the more prominant reboot causes on the phone is wifi.
I believe I may have found the cause of the problem, and with that a temporary fix.
The problem had me at a loss because some people had it and others didn't, so I concluded it to be caused by either wifi channel or security.
Doing some scanning I found my own wifi to be running on channel 3. Opening the router interface I found the channel setting, like most routers, was set to auto. I changed this setting to 6 and no more reboots.
The fix
If you are running your own wireless router, open the interface and use a standard channel (1,6,11, 6 is recommended if you use wireless N with 40mhz channel width). I will not help you set up your router as there are plenty of tutorials out there.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium

Unfortunately for me this is not the case. I've had my router set to channel 11 for some time. It does not change. Also, I've had the problem occur when wifi on the phone was not enabled.
After reading a thread in the Dev section on this kernel about it possibly being signal-strength related, I figured I would do some testing with different modems. I first went to the KD1 modem and it seemed fine for almost a day, then a reboot. Followed by a reboot soon thereafter. I switched to KG4 and the problem got worse. I do believe, however, that when it occurred my signal strength to T-Mobile (not via wifi) was weak/nonexistent.
I'm still on the KG4 modem despite the amount of issues I had with it last (one time it rebooted twice within the matter of a minute).
I think Bryan may be onto something provided in a log regarding the WM8994 module/code.
I'm glad you're still trying to figure out the issue as my time is limited these days. I hope we can narrow this issue down for the folks having the problem.
Thanks for your efforts and time!

Yes. As I said it appears there are 2 issues. My phone had started to reboot almost every 5 minutes when connected to wifi. There does also seem to be another issue causing reboots, but for some this may help.

I misread the first sentence. Sorry about that. Weird that wifi is causing that issue. I'm tempted to set my router to auto & see what happens. I set a channel for it long ago because I have a repeater to get the signal to the other side of the house and they would hang if both were set to auto.

I don't get great battery life as it is. I did notice yesterday or the day before, though, that when it reboots itself, the battery usage shows a sharp drop. I also noticed it's not a "full" reboot, but rather seems like a quick boot.

I agree with the half reboots and it also seems to me that they happen when the signal is low. I get a couple a day and usually while using data or wifi while indoors or while coverage is low. I don't know if these details help track it down or not but I wanted to leave my experiences.

Just an FYI. I set my router to n only channel 6 a few days ago. No reboots til this morning. Normally it's "hmmm there it goes again." This morning however I thought I had broken my ankle and was waiting for a call back on what to do. BAM, my blue tooth disconnected, I looked at the phone and saw the beats audio startup. Really bad timing for a reboot. Wifi wasn't on. Glad I didn't miss the call back. That would have really sucked.

Ive pretty.much given up on finding it. Im waiting for my sdcard to come in the mail to test that. If that doesnt fix it ill be redeeming my phone warranty this weekend.

Don't give up just yet.
I'm using my Hebrew Valhalla ROM and using Bryan's kernel I had no reboots for more than a month. It's basically Valhalla Final with Adrenaline Shot 14.1 with system mount on etc init.d scripts. I'm also on sidekick kd1 modem. You can try this ROM, if you don't change locality to Hebrew it's as English as any other ROM.

You may have something there. I really don't understand how all the various work together, but seemingly there's something between the kernel and the modem. Since the reboots can be random though, it's hard for me to even guess. I flashed SCOM a little bit ago which uses the KD1 Modem with KJ6-v0.1.1-rc2. So we'll see.

Idk. It seams heat related. Also Bryan said that he either tracked it to userspace errors or he thinks its caused by userspace errors.

for those of you having the random reboot, did you do the gremlin removal steps + the factory wipe without the sd card in the phone? i would highly recommend this. after you have successfully done the gremlin remover, remove and reformat the sd card on the computer. while this is formatting, go back into cwm and wipe data/cache/dalvik without the sd card in the phone. once this is done, let the phone sit for 15 min or and and shut down. put the sd card in and reboot. if you still have random reboots, try the kh2 kernel.

I was going through the same reboot issues with kernels newer than 2D for a while. Then a few weeks ago I flashed FB's version and everthing ran great for a week. I was running VB with no additional tweaks of any kind. The week of no random reboots got me feeling good enough to start adding some of the typical changes I make to my phone... the first being changing some SD apps over to System apps ( Netflix, Skype, TB, Plume, Ninesky, ES File Ex, Camera Zoom FX & a few others)...BAM! Random reboots 4 to 5 times a day. Converted apps back after 3 days but the reboots persisted. Reflashed VB from scratch, keeping kernel that is packed in Raver's VB ROM, left apps alone and so far no reboots in 4 days. The only logs I found were similar to those posted on another thread where Bryan then said he didn't need anymore, he just needed time to de-bug.

Has anyone tried using the kj2 modem? kd1from SCOM was giving me random reboots left and right and after flashing kj2 last night my phone has been up for a little over 17 hrs without any issues. I know its not alot of time but its better than random reboots every hour or so. Signal strength also went up a bit.

I usually do the whole gremlin thing before every flash regardless. Actually formatting my sd on the puter as we speak. Then I'll do gremlin again, then reformat, etc. The things you mentioned at the end though I've never seen before, so I'll add those into the mix. With the SCOM flash this morning, the phone rebooted within 3 hours. I'm glad to see Bryan's back and that he's on top of it.

I had this problem and added the system mount on init.d scripts and the modem and don't have it. Never used the gremlin remover. So if the gremlin remover won't work for you as well, try what I say.

I'm on icbinb, which I've been on for well over a month and have only had one reboot (after leaving my phone on for more than 5 straight days). Only thing I've changed is tried the sidekick modems, but they didn't increase my service, so I flashed back to kj6.

Screen goes blank and reboots?

I've had my Infinity for about a week now and on at least 3 occasions I've had the tablet screen go blank and reboot it self after 10 seconds or so. When this happens the screen usually turns all white or all black and is unresponsive. This has happened on firmware 22 and 26. Anyone else experiencing this?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using xda premium

I have experienced this twice. It happened to me last night in fact. I hit the back button to go back in the XDA app and it went all white. I had to hold the power button for a few seconds before it would reset though.

Do you have an NTFS-formatted micro SDHC in it by any chance?

I've had this happen many times mainly while switching apps... Usually between games to normal apps like email... I have mine completely stock without any sd card...

Happend with my tab too. But only with games so I supposed they are not perfectly adapted to the Chip and thus crashing it or the other way round.

This has happened without any sd card present. Tab is completely stock, not rooted and it is always between apps.

possibly the task manager
Did a little searching and found someone having a similar problem here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1523487. I've been having the screen go out sometimes and it reboots, other times nothing on my bootloader shows up and it's just my background wallpaper.
Someone suggested that it was due to the the task manager widget. I can confirm that I've been running this widget. If this is a common factor among all of us then maybe we have our culprit.
Edit: I don't have a microsd inserted.

This has also happened to me a few times and I'm also using the Asus task manager widget. I'll try removing it now to see if that works.

I get it about every other day of heavy use. I am using the Asus task manager widget.
Last time it happened I had been actively checking my screen on time to contribute to a battery thread and noticed my timer lost about 20 minutes of time after the reboot, FWIW.

Tf700 Random Reboots. Anyone else or just me?

Has anyone had issues with random reboots with their TF700 or is it just me. I know the older Transformers had issues but I am experiencing that issue on my Prime Infinity and wondering if it is a software issue and if I should just wait for an update or if I should try returning it.

Try returning it... I only ran stock for a few days but i have never had a random reboot

I was getting them initially. Tried a factory reset and restored all of my apps with only minimal data and still got them.
Then did a factory reset again, started restoring apps one at a time only as needed from Google Play, no Tibu. I did this slowly, installing two or three at a time and then using the system for an hour or more to verify non-flakiness. Did not install an alternate launcher (had been using Apex). Avoided freemium games that do push notifications. No major problems since.
Did find at least one app that may be problematic: Google Voice seems unstable for me. There were couple of others too, IIRC, but that's the one that sticks out in my head because I use it fairly regularly. Did not reinstall a lot of stuff that I never actually used.
The process was painful but highly recommended. As the system becomes heavily loaded it tends have a lot of junk that is running all the time and taking up memory, etc, which is a real issue for ASUS' ICS firmware. This is why games are flaky on the TF and is probably the source of a lot of the seemingly random weirdness that seems to only affect some people but not others, IMHO, because it makes the system too sensitive to what you have installed/running on your box which is different for everyone.
This why a factory reset seems to magically fix everything, too, because all of that cruft gets wiped until you start reinstalling all this junk and firing off all the associated processes (which in turn start background services/process, etc).
I will still occasionally run FMR memory cleaner when the machine is acting laggy or something crashes (usually gmail, lol) and everything clears right up. My two previous TF201s and my other TF700 were ALL like this. I'm convinced it's an ASUS firmware/kernel issue. I'm hopeful JB fixes it but have learned to pay attention to what I put on the thing in the mean time and it is running better than ever.
rooted, btw.

I've had my Infinity for a little over a month and within the last week or so I've had random system crashes. Thought I figured out what app it was and it had stopped crashing but now it started in again late last night.wondering if its a hardware issue. Gut feeling is that I should go exchange it at Best Buy and just play it safe. I am rooted and also wondering if this could possibly be a reason as well.

What I have found is that the Infinity becomes very unstable when memory gets below 200mb. I am using the Cool Tool widget to show available RAM and noticed that it would frequently get below 200mb with general use. I have since set background processes limit to at most 2 and this keeps my RAM about 300mb and above. It limits multi taking a bit, but has been much more stable.

I had these random reboots at the beginning. Do you have a µSD card inserted in your TF700 (not the dock) ? I did and this was the cause of the reboots.
Once removed, no more reboots.

So what affect does that setting really have (limiting background processes to 4) - does that just mean that you can only *truly* multi-task 4 apps? I've always wondered exactly what that setting really did...

Yes I think so. 4 is actually that much of apps that this is quite a good compromise between stability and multitasking. And either way this doesn't have "true" multitasking as for example youtube videos stop playing when going to other screen. Which is actually very annoying and thats one of the reasons why this really can't be laptop replacement.

I had my first random reboot since the .30 update, so the issues has not been eliminated.

Man, I would be *livid* if my TF700 had random reboots! Part of the reason I bought the TF700 was because my old TF101 has had random reboot issues with ICS (if I NVFlash Honeycomb it's stable as a rock). I haven't had a single random reboot with my TF700 though - and believe me, I watch for it (mainly via uptime widget)...
Have you guys always had random reboots since you purchased it??
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using Tapatalk 2

So if we're thinking memory allocation is the issue here, I wonder if the V6 Supercharge would help out. I use it on my phone and it's incredible. I installed half of it on my tf700 earlier today, but I have to wait till I'm at a real computer before I apply the rest of the changes.
As a disclaimer, I've not had these random reboots, neither before nor after the OTA, though sometimes games will refuse to load with that whole nvidia issue. Haven't seen that for a little bit though either.
