Firstly, I'd like to apologize if this has been asked before but I was unable to find it in the forums so thought of posting a new thread.
After updating to GB 2.3.5 (XWKPG) and then 2.3.6 (DDKP1) via Kies, i've noticed that the call connect and disconnect process starts to lag after 2-3 days of use. I've used the task manager to clear the RAM as well as clean up the memory but the only thing that seems to fix the issue is restarting the phone. It's very annoying to have to do that every other day. Also, push notifications in Whatsapp seem to have a problem. On waking up the screen the messages come through after a few seconds. K9 Mail seems ok though. Noticed that GTalk keeps signing off automatically every couple of minutes. Any Suggestions??
I'm facing not only the same dialer lag issue, but successive call windows if I had used the swipe gesture to call multiple times (since the first call window didn't show up in time)!
With Froyo, the dialer would still lag, sometimes as bad a 3-4 minutes! However, will not go to the extent of dialing multiple times.
I don't know why Samsung does such a bad job of upgrades.
I never experienced lag like you, timbuctoo. which version of froyo were you using?
@ prana, upgrading by kies always seems to cause problems. the best thing to do is to use odin. check the stock rom thread for more details.
Odin or Kies are the same thing. I upgraded with Kies and Odin, with the two, my phone was laggy.

stock dialer or modded?
With stock. But all the phone laggy, not only the dialer.

since you don't give exact details, I'll assume you upgraded with kies, then when it didn't work correctly, you flashed the same exact fw with odin.
so, to fix it for sure, go backwards and flash pit, kpe ONCE, kph ONCE, and kpq ONCE. this is my method for getting to kpq with no issues.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1365493
My thread. But I send my phone in a center, I was tired of laggy.
I will retire it the 27th.
Will Try with Odin..
I try thirthy time with odin, any thing I do the phone laggy. And I'm not the only one with this issue. The problems is Samsung update or the hardware. It's why I send it to the center. (For information only froyo does'nt laggy)
@Ryryoku: I have noticed the same thing. Froyo doesnt lag but GB does. However, this is my last try with GB, else I'm going back to froyo. Only problem with Froyo is that it would Force Close a lot on my device. GB is much better that way.

So I'm having a really strange issue. I got my Atrix 2 a few weeks ago after owning the OG since it launched. I'm currently running 2.3.6 Stock Deodexed installed via CWM restore in bootstrap. Everything is working fine, except this: the Voice Search app, which I use a lot, continually reverts itself to default settings. As long as the app is running, it behaves normally, but when I kill the process, reboot the phone, or too much time passes, it seems to wipe out its own data. As a result, nearly every time I use it, I get this first run dialog asking me if I want to enable personalized recognition and a tutorial overlay. I've selected both options multiple times and the issue persists. A few things:
1) I'm not sure if this has been happening since the beginning, because I've been rooted and deodexed in some form or fashion since the 2nd day I had it. I don't remember initially having a problem, though. Maybe someone running straight stock with no mods could test this?
2) I use local data encryption for both the SD Card and the app storage, as required by my corporate exchange server. That's the only thing I can think of that might be causing this.
3) I've reinstalled the app multiple times.
4) It seems like Voice Search can't be moved to the SD card.
Anyone else having this problem?

s a matter of fact, I have had it happen to me a couple of times too. I'm running lfabor's SC_V5 Update 2 though.
Now I shall reply to you statements / questions:
When I was running stock 2.3.5 or 2.3.6 I didn't have this issue.
I do not use encryption as its not required for my corporate sync (nor is my phone a company phone)
I have not tried to reinstall it, as I dont use very often, and only had to he issue happen a couple of times. This is also because lfabor placed it in the
system directory, and I've been to lazy to move it out.
The reason it can't be moved to SD is because the SD storage has to be enabled by the developer of the app.
Also note I am using swiftkey X for my keyboard, but if you are having issues with stock I don't think swiftkey is to blame.
I have not
I have had this issue TONS of times on a 100% stock not even rooted phone. I think there is just something screwed up, I dont think it's because of anything you did. My SD card is not encrypted, and I am also using Swiftkey X (but I doubt its swiftkey X). Infact I think it even used to happen before I started using swiftkey x.
I have the same issue, and I'm also using Swiftkey X. I'm sensing a pattern...
While I haven't empirically tested enough, I think the voice search might be resetting every time that Swiftkey gets updated (like with new language files, since that seems to happen quite often).
I'll try to keep track to see if there's a link there.

I'm not using SwiftKey, but I do use the ICS keyboard, so I tried uninstalling it and freezing Swype for good measure. It didn't seem to affect things, at least on my end.
I'm having the same problem. I installed the swiftkey x keyboard to give it a try but uninstalled it when I didn't like it. Have had the problems even since the uninstall. Currently using the stock keyboard with stock rom rooted.

Did the lock screen option menu get moved somewhere else from the first release because I dont see it.

hmmm... i've been cruising the Eman thread all day and no one else seems to have these issues. My first guess would be possible bad download and/or flash. Did u try to flash again?

What length SMS seems to cause an issue? I have not seen any issues with SMS so far, but granted my messages are generally pretty short anyway.
When you try and download the dialers or themes are you using the stock browser? I think there is a known issue with that. Nun had said "Q. I try to download from the ota and I always get "download unsucessful. How do I fix this?
A. Many have stated that trying a browser other than stock will help...Opera, Dolphin, etc should work. If you prefer to use stock...try this: Download Astro File Explorer, open preferences, and scroll to the bottom and select "enable browser downloads"...then ownload like a good boy should!"
I followed his suggestion and had no more troubles trying to download the OTA stuff.
Lock screen stuff is in display settings. Don't remember where it was on the previous build.
Thank you for the info, you pretty much answered all my questions. I had a brain fart on the lock screen- it was under display. I thought it was in the Emancipation OTA previously.
As far as the text messaging, I cant put a finger on the length because sometimes it works... Not sure whats up with that. But I do know that usually long texts do fail and they will go through if i try to resend them a few times...
What browser do you recommend? Is there an agreed upon one that everyone uses?
when I download i use dolphin mini browser...-
i like opera but it doesnt let me download...
about your sms, you check the messages/setting /message center... sometimes its reset when changing roms..
I just use the stock browser. I loaded the Astro File Explorer and everything worked fine.
I know there are better browsers out there but the audio book service I use only works the stock browser and Firefox. I have tried it with Firefox, but it just works better with the stock browser. My commute is about 80 minutes each way; so I would go crazy without my audio books.
I have always used the app "Download All Files" its a super light app that works with all files in any app or browser and then I can just use the stock browser

I'm having a problem sending and recieving MMS, which I had once before ever flashing my infuse. APN settings got changed somehow (probably me). Reset the APN and it was fixed. Problem crept again after flashing Emancipation. Under the available APN types the list I'm given only has:
Internet+MMS
Internet
MMS
I think I'm needing an "supl" option. Am I missing that due to a bad flash and need to redo it. Or is it simply not available o Emanc and need to try a ROM i can edit the APN by typing like CM7?
Thanks

Also my data is ridiculously slow. Youtube videos are taking upwards of an hour to load on both phones too. This wasnt a problem on Zeus and I was wondering if there are something I should look into? Thanks!

Emancipation OTA Problem
Firstly I'd like to thank everyone for the awesome community and work that goes on here at XDA. I've been reading through all the forums the last several weeks and learned so much about my new phone (Samsung Infuse 4G). Through all the tutorials, Q&As etc. I have successfully flashed my firmware three different times. Started out with Zeus v6, Aeon and now I'm finally settled on Emancipation1 with the Dark Blue theme. I really like this ROM.
Now my problem/question. For the ROM flash and Dark Blue theme flash I just downloaded the files to my PC and moved them over to the phone. Everything at that point was fine. Everything on my phone works great except for the Emancipation OTA. It worked the first time immediately after the flash (just checking it out), however now whenever I try to use the Emanicaption OTA I get an error on my phone screen that says "Sorry - The application Settings (process.com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. - Force close)
I've tried with wi-fi enabled and disabled. My stock browser works fine and I went ahead and installed Astro File Manager Explorer. I also booted the phone into Recovery Mode and wiped the cache and Davlik cache.
Any ideas on what might be wrong or causing my inability to use the Emancipation OTA? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Sorry, the only known solutions when that consistently pops up is a reflash. Something did not take right or is interferring with that working properly. Back it up and reflash.
Thanks. Was hoping you weren't going to say that though
One more simple ?
Does anyone know if the themes and other content available through the EmancipationOTA is available for direct download (say from the server to a PC so it can then be moved to the phone the old fashioned way?)
Nope. All themes go though the OTA.
So i wanted to see if im the only one who get some of the bugs below:
1) keyboard(any keyboard) falling animation stops in the middle and disappear instead of going all the way down whic is kind of ugly and make it looks like lagging.
2) and the more crucial is this(photo attached) - contacts names in people section randomly getting blank and the only way to know which contact it is, is to enter the contacts edit and see the name there.
couldn't be more annoying!
any other bugs we should know?
just noticed there is a bug thread already. please move this to there, sorry.

Em ya wow to that bug. If you have TWRP or CWM try wiping cache and dalvik.
all stock never touched anything.
Since I updated to Jelly Bean I experience very bad reception. Almost all the time "ermerncy calls only". Factory reset doesn't work. Looking at costom roms atm...
I've got a stupid bug (on stock) when you click power off and the screens black u click power button it shows lock screen then powers of again have to do soft reset to make it boot properly again

Which rom are you on?
Maps broken
I have a HTC One S locked to Orange/T-Mobile/EE network which is stock ROM, haven't had the need to mess around with it just yet. It received the OTA update to JellyBean 4.1 on Christmas Day, which installed fine without any problems.
Now I find that regardless of what I do, the maps and navigation crashes within a couple of minutes of use. This part is annoying since it seems to work and then anywhere between 1 minute and 5 minutes it simply stops with a force close message. I did a factory reset to see if this would clear the problem, but it hasn't.
The details of my phone are:
Android Version 4.1.1
HTC Sense Version 4+
Software Number 3.16.401.8
HTC SDK API Level 4.63
Kernel Version 3.4.10
Build Number 3.16.401.8
Maps Version 6.14.2
Would be interested to hear from anyone else who has this problem, or more so from anyone who has it and managed to cure it. Else I will have to look at downloading an alternative ROM, one which has working maps!
There is a thread regarding the google map issue already.
I often have loss signal...any idea?
I've seen a topic already.. but the keyboard, especially in WhatsApp is so horribly slow on JB.. not just the One S, Galaxies etc. have it too.
I'm definitely having signal issues. Anyone else's WiFi taking a long time to automatically connect? On ICS wifi used to connect as soon as the phone was unlocked but now I'm waiting up to a whole minute for it to connect!
no problems with wifi here.
i already said im using all stock never touched device.
very weird

I searched the HTC One S forums for maps crashing and found one which is to do with Cyangenmod ROM as opposed to the stock ROM. I've posted it in here simply because it only started after the JB 4.1.1 update was completed over Xmas. (If I search again for maps crashing, I now get two which is the original thread and this one.)
If you can point me to the thread which deals with this problem, then I would appreciate it greatly, as it is really getting on my nerves. More so since I've removed all updates for Google Maps, they're now back to the stock JB version, and it still crashes.
Cheers
ok, so i just backed up my contacts to my sim card and deleted from phone and google account than i imported from sim and re synced and now the people bug is gone.
I tried asking this in the Dev area related to the specific Rom I tried ([JellyBean][4.2.2]Unofficial CM10.1) and didn't get an immediate response ... so I thought I'd ask a more generic question....
New to Samsung Infuse 4G custom roms... but needed to update my wife's phone so I came here. I'm quite fond of CM 10.1 on my Acer A500... so it seemed a great fit.
So far, the rom I chose ([JellyBean][4.2.2]Unofficial CM10.1) is working well for her, but for one thing... instead of getting AT&T voicemail notifications, she gets an SMS from 1001005080. I assume this is the vm notification, just not being handled correctly by her phone (as it does occur when vm is left). NOTE: Not interested in going the google voice solution... just want her vm notifications back.
Can someone recommend a Jelly Bean Rom for the Infuse 4G for which AT&T Voicemail notifications are known to be working? Or a way to fix the issue on my [JellyBean][4.2.2]Unofficial CM10.1 setup?
Thanks in advance!
i have seen this problem on other peoples phones before, and they liked it, as if they setup it up that way, have you tried calling your provider and see if its setup that way on their end or not? also you may have to reset your vm settings (ie call your vm and reset to default over the phone) it shouldnt be anything to do with the rom
I hope you won't mind if I bring up one of my own problems regarding voicemail. When I was running gingerbread (stock, unrooted) I randomly got a voicemail notification one day and it never went away. After rooting and going to JB thru ICS, my first JB ROM was Slim Bean (this was a few months ago, so a really outdated version). The voicemail notification disappeared. After that, I changed ROMs and then the voicemail notification reappeared. Ever since then, I have not been able to get rid of it. I was using Google voice when I originally got the notification, but since then I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it, but the notification has never gone away. Whenever I reboot the phone, the notification shows up about 30 sec - 1 min after rebooting and never goes away.
Thanks for anything you can do to help.
Functionally it doesn't affect my phone, it just is an annoyance and takes up space in the notification drawer.

Setup that way>
The voicemail notifications were previously working normally on her AT&T official GB Rom and as well on a rooted GB ROM I installed on her phone. It's only when I installed the JB based ROM that the issue occurred. I don't know why one would like it that way... you get a msg when VM is left and then another one when you login and listen/delete it. Seems a hassle to then have to manually delete the msgs (and to my wife as well!).
Setup on their end>
Again, no change there.
Reset vm Settings>
Worth a try. I'll see if it changes anything.
Thanks for the suggestions!

Well... nothing I tried to change in voicemail made any difference. So I took a different approach... this Infuse has been flakey the entire time my wife had it, so for $.99 I upgraded her to a Samsung Galaxy S III refurbished phone. Hugely better... and ... true voicemail notifications are back! No weird SMS msgs. So something weird must have happened in my upgrade to JB.
Love the III though !

Basically what the title says. I own a snapdragon P905 version and I'm experiencing sleep of death on the device. It was rooted before but then the problem started ocurring and I did a factory reset but that didn't fix the problem.
Any ideas would be apreciated.
SOLUTION
It seems that reflashing a stock firmware form SAMMOBILE solved the problem for me. At least no problems ocurred since I reflashed it. Cheers, I hope it helps someone else too.
EDIT: Nop, that didn't solve it, the SOD was back after an hour or so... back to the drawing board...
What changed in that hour? Perhaps an application that was recently updated by it's developer is causing issues?

No, BUT, it seems i made a mistake by not wiping the device because, after I used ODIN to flash the alternative firmware my data wasn't deleted and I didn't have to setup the device or my apps.
Note that I have only the bare essentials installed on the tablet (Dolphin browser, facebook, battlefield battlelog, battlefield commander, BS player, splashtop 2, and hancom office - not the viewer).
I've read on some other devices the wifi module causes the SOD, I'll try disabling the wifi first. If that doesn't work I'll try installing TWRP and wiping cache/dalvik to see if that brings me anywhere. If not, I'll start picking off my apps one by one.
I didn't have enough time to do any of the things I said I'd do in the last post BUT, the Sleep Of Death was gone for 3 days untill I installed facebook and dolphin browser yesterday. Now it's back again!? I uninstalled both apps but the SOD is still here. No clue on how it went away on its own, and why it won't go away again...
I'm still looking for some fresh ideas.
EDIT: It seems that factory reset does the job, and I can install my basic apps and it works fine for a day... BUT if I leave it over night I can't turn the screen on in the morning, and the SOD is back every time after that.
EDIT 2: It was the broken micro sd card I frogot I put into the tablet...
Same here. Didn't happen at first. Now when screen goes off, I have to reboot. I am certain I will track this down.... But it's currently frustrating
