[Q] Thunderbolt Sluggish, laggy, and I got it to reset during tether

Just got my thunderbolt a few days ago. I haven't had the chance to root just yet. Too many days at work.
I had a bad problem with resetting on my EVO... I'd like to make sure this doesn't turn into round 2.
Its been sluggish on and off all day. Lagging through my texts messages while I am tethered to my laptop on LTE. It reset on me eariler while I was tethered. Did I overheat this thing?
Any input? Or where to look/start troubleshooting I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!

Sounds weird. I haven't had any problems with mine.
Maybe a defective device? I have no idea.

Hmm another odd thing it does, is during a phone call the top part of the screen around the status bar kind of gets a greenish tint during the phone call if the person I am talking to doesn't have a picture. Is that the updated sense doing that? My Evo never did it. I'm gonna try and stress it again... I couldn't get it to swype properly, it would end the word before the I finished swyping it.
I hope I don't have a defective device

Yeah, the green tint is normal, but I don't know about the rest.
Maybe you might wanna take a trip to Verizon and ask them.

Might have to. Kinda wish I would have bought instore now. I'd imagine that would make potential swapping much easier!

This phone is awesome. I personally dont like waiting for devs to finish ROm/Kernals so i will be trying to bulid my own. Verizon / HTC have so many bloated items in this phone its unreal. Just debloating the phone makes it run faster via quadrant, overclocking it to around 1.4 to 1.5 is the most economical and i beleive most are able to do it with the required stock voltage (minues a little) and i get about 2200 on my 1.4ghz Senseless Virus ROM. Anyhow. The only thingthat gets to me is the lack of installed apps. Otherwise its freaking fast.

me and 9 other co-workers all got the thunderbolt the day it came out. two of us had horrific battery life and some lagging issues as well. i just wiped data and cache and seemed to fix it right up. you can give that a go or just root it and play around with all the kernels!!!!!!!! lol i can't go more than a few hours without flashing a new kernel...so addicting!!!!

Even before I rooted and debloated mine I never had even the slightest lag. I would recommend trying to get it exchanged. It shouldn't lag at all unless you have some kind of huge app constantly sucking CPU and RAM in the background.

Yea, I am getting force closes in the stock default text message app. Only apps I have installed are dolphin browser mini, swype, tweetdeck.
While in my 4g area yesterday during tether I had a few periods where the 4g would connect on and off for a few minutes before it solidified itself..
Do I have a dud? Or should I root it and see if these problems continue? Since I bought it from Letstalk.com, Would they even let me exchange it at a Verizon store?

Sounds like a dud. Just take a trip to Verizon and see what try can do.

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 will look into seeing if I can find some direct links for themes, but until then here is the Original Doctorz thread see if anybody has the answer there,
just make sure you clarify that you are an INFUSE user, since that thread is for the Galaxy S version. If you find something come let us know. Thanks.

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.

Is yhe infuse not able to use the status bar settings?
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda premium

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.

I found that the status bar settings has not changed anything that I could see, others have confirmed this. If it doors change anything I think its limited to the lockscreen if any changes are being made at all.

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

Static noise since FP1

I had the static noise once in a while one ep4 but since I updated to FP1 all around and latest eclipse rom I hear it in every call any advice
for me,by me and I love you

I have the same thing. I did a full ass wipe and let it update from ee4. Seems better now.
Mine also started doing ghost key strokes and force closes.
Might be time for a replacement soon.

Agreed I was going to go back to a tbolt but the the other guy backed out
for me,by me and I love you

I reflashed and still getting crap call quality and the phone has a lot of glitchy moments. Says "charging" on lock screen even though I am not plugged in but battery is almost dead.

I just flashed 2.0 eclipse final and will see if anything changes
for me,by me and I love you

I've never had any noise during phone calls until I updated to FP1. I'm running the stock FP1, and experience intermittant electronic glitch type noises during calls. The volume of these noises is significantly louder than the call volume. I'm going to go deaf if I keep using this phone

I agree I see that if the call lasts longer than 15 seconds the sound starts
for me,by me and I love you

I also got the crazy loud static once with stock FP1 and never had it before. I also still get robot voice and occasionally lose outgoing voice connection. I see no voice improvements in FP1. If I wasn't so mature I would start to get mad right now.

I was holding out for Tweakstock but decided last night since I was bored that I would just go all the way back to ED2 and do all the OTA's. since then I have used my phone darn close to 75 times and on all 75 calls (and I am not exaggerating this) I got either static, or one of those old timey modem noises after a minute or so.
Guess who is getting a call tonight? BTW on EP4D In the same situation I *might* have heard the static on 2 of those 75 calls. This really stinks.....

Same problem for me.. i'm on DC #3. today i spoke with a tech, and instead of troubleshooting the phone again, she offered me a factory reconditioned Nexus.. it will be here tomorrow.. not new but better than a 4th DC... what's funny is, just 2 weeks ago they said i couldn't get another type of phone.. i also have the insurance so if that messes up i can get that replaced too.. FYI.. she also said there was no reports of problems with that phone after the new update, i strongly suggest calling and reporting it. if it helps my tech was named Jenifer..

Account not authorized to call XXX

Strange problem I've got here:
Whenever I try to make a call, I get a recording from Sprint saying "Your account is not authorized to make calls to this phone number; if you would like to have additional capabilities added to your account, please call customer service. [spanish iteration of recording] Message 4, switch 253." It seems to only be doing it to numbers on a different carrier, however. I can call Sprint phones just fine.
I'm running fergie716's port of MIUI 2.5.25 with the stock air kernel he puts in it. Strange thing is when my previous backup of Gummy ICS is restored, everything is fine. Called customer service and they talked me through numerous codes to try to provision my phone, but the service codes don't seem to work on MIUI, yet they do on gummy. I've verified it's not the radio (running KL2 currently), updated the profile and PRL, still no dice.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've grown accustomed to MIUI with just a day's use and would love to be able to continue with it.

Bumping for desperation.

[Q] Problem with Samsung phone performance

Been contemplating for a while whether to post this as it will come off as rather trollish. Had my Infuse for over a year now. When I first got it I noticed there were some "issues". I remained patient hoping or thinking maybe when GB was released it would improve. It did not. Later I needed to root this phone and came here, found a ROM that had all the AT&T junk stripped out. Phone worked better, but still had these issues.
I got to the point that I knew I would never again purchase either a Samsung phone or Android. Did not know what the culprit was. Just recently I had the chance to really take a look at an HTC EVO, and I realized that Samsung is the problem, not Android.
Number one issue is that this phone is sluggish, and sometimes unresponsive. I will touch whatever button and get that vibrating acknowledgement, but nothing happens. I will be in the app menu and wish to exist and the home button just does not respond.
Yesterday I missed a call because the bloody phone just did not respond, even though I touched the answer button. Other times I just can not make a call. I dial number, and the phone just sits there doing nothing. Eventually I just pull out the battery and restart the phone to make a simple bloody call. I had a HTC WinMo phone for years and never once experienced this. No matter how farked the OS could get with some app or whatever, the phone function always worked.
I do not run a lot of apps, and recently have experienced these issues with almost literally no apps installed. I will then add something like GO taskmanger just to confirm that the unresponsive behavior is not due to some app taking up memory/CPU etc..
Sorry for the long post, but I am at my wits end with this bloody phone. The fact that I miss calls when the **** phone is right in my hand is unacceptable. So before placing this phone in a box filled with C4 and shooting this to the moon, hoping that maybe a solution is out there.
p.s. I have 2 Infuse in use, both have the same issue.

What firmware are you running?
Is it the same firmware on both phones?
What is the launcher?
Have you tried a different modem?
Are you using a battery saver like juice defender?
Are you using an ad blocker?
Are you using a specific kernel? Oc? Uv?
Need for specific info

You know, for the rather lengthy post, you really have not explained any detail about your issue.. You have a generic 'I have an issue, the Infuse sucks' post and its not going to help anyone resolve your issue. I find it EXTREMELY hard to believe that you have 2 infuses having the SAME EXACT ISSUE. Yes, there will be times when you get a defective phone or it isnt working up to your standards, but to have 2 defective phones with the same defect? You need to play the lottery. Also, i suggest you send the phones back. It sounds like youve already made your mind up and have pretty much bashed the samsung infuse in that entire post. The same samsung infuse that myself, and plenty of other people live with day to day and have absolutely 0 complaints.

I will give you $20.00 a piece for them!!!!

Simple . Hack it and put cm7 on it if you really need speed. Maybe its your screen protecter. Wipe the screen off. Cm9 can be sluggish, for speed go to miui on gingerbread or cm7

Id be willing to buy one of the infuses
Trust me...sounds like you got two defective units...which like Scott, I find hard to believe...but hey its possible-idk when you got hem.but if it hasn't been a year then put them back to stock with gtgs unbrick and file a warranty claim with Samsung...the infuse is a great phone and I never had the problem you described...I do have a question though...did you get them both at the same time? Cause I don't see why you would get a second if your first was having problems
Anyways...if you wanna sell one hmu...I may buy one depending on the price and if I can get the money (I think I already may have one lined up for $170 just need to get the money)

No, thought never occurred to me that I should look at this as a solution.

Again this has been a recurring problem since purchase, and during this time I have had stock Froyo, rooted Froyo ROM, GB update, and for one now a the GB rooted ROM.
When the slow to unresponsiveness occurs there does not appear to be any specific cause. Prior to updating to the rooted GB I had used GO Taskmanager, and long before that some other app I long since forgot the name of. Point was that they had shown that neither CPU was excessive, or memory was used up. Both phones have data services disabled and are strictly Wifi only. There are no tasks or extra programs run in the background (though did install Connectbot today). I no longer use any Live wallpaper. After updating to the rooted GB I left the phone in that state (no software installed) for a week or so, and the problem still occured.
This occurs when calling or answering calls, but as previously posted occurs sometimes just opening the Applications menu as an example. So it is not a specific task or program that is slow or unresponsive. Earlier this evening I got a call, slide the bar across to answer and the screen just hung there for a few moments. This time it was at least not long enough that I missed the call. When the call was done I looked and there simply was nothing running on the phone. No apps, no web browser or mail, in fact I was not even connected to the wifi (I have data 3G/4G service disabled on the phone).

are you completely wiping before every flash youve done? have you tried a complete wipe and start from fresh?

Task manager is NOT the best app to tell you what is running in the background.
Maps and other location apps may not be listed but will consume resourse that can be the cause of your lag.
The fact that stopping wallpaper or live wall paper off alleviate the condition may suggest that the phone is running at max capacity. Steps to reduce the load improves it. Live wp, facebook, maps, stock email and other device manager from stock att was one of the first @#$% I took out on any rom I run.
Having a large amount of apps installed can also cause this lag. The OS may only be able to handle so many.
Have a poor signal at the time of the call may also be an issue, especially if both of your phones have this issue occasionally but not consistently.
Lock screen can also be a factor. Some sleep setting may also cause the phone to wake up poorly. I get around this by turning off my lock screen. On the call settings, you can also change the answering options so that it will override others and make it easy to answer.
On any firmware - stock or modded, after you have the phone running for an extended period of time without a reboot, you may start to see some lags. This may be across all devices. You may need to reboot it occasionally or boot into recovery and wipe the cache.
These issues may or not go away once you have a device with more power or resources..ex: dual or quad core, 1gb or 2gb ram etc..my guess is when a device has more power, programmers will come up with more resourse intensive apps that may hinder the phone as well.
Lastly, pay attention to your battery meter. As the power dips below 30%, there are steps taken by the OS to conserve the battery. This may give you lags as well..possibly one of the reason why it seems random also.
If you wanted to test out the lag issue due to background apps, go to settings/account and sync. turn off background data. You will retain the (radio) phone and text but there will be no email/facebook, weather, widgets/market/amazon etc updates unless you manually update them. If this runs smoothly but lags when you turn it back on, you can start the process of narrowing down your culprit.
