[A510] Tablet getting sluggish after some uptime - possible solution - Acer Iconia A700 and A510

Especially after the latest OTAs I had the following issue with my A510:
- after some uptime (a couple of hours) the tab would become very slow and finally unresponsive
- this was accompanied by a steady drop in free RAM (to around 30MB)
- adding up memory used by apps wolud not account for that and no memory mgmt. would help, only reboot (->memory leak?)
This problem persisted throughout all custom ROMs posted here. Yesterday on a hunch I installed an app to keep a partial wake-lock on the device. Since then the problem seems to be gone (uptime ATM: 15h).
Is it possible that deep sleep interferes w/ memory clean-up? Is the T3 (or those drivers for this old kernel) not made for suspend?
Also: Battery drain does not seem to have increased noticeably (certainly not if you had to go through reboots every couple of hours...). Again: is the T3 made to run on it's low-power core at 102MHz instead of sleeping?
And finally, for all those temp. fanatics : my tabs lower right corner is now much cooler than before...
DISLCAIMER: I know this is a A700 sub forum, but there is no A510 General and I certainly didn't develop anything. Additionally this might also affect the A700. If this thread still is unacceptable here pls move or delete.

Ok dude, so you got an OTA? I bought my A510 in June and I have never got any OTA between then and now. From Malaysia.

If you have Olympic Edition like me- there is no OTA, latest firmware is xx.079 (latest 'generic edition' ota is xx.099 IIRC).

My Olympic edition had an OTA update the day I bought it, in August.

Yes, I have the Olympic edition.
Anyway, when did this OTA come out? WHich country are you in? What does it address?
I don't know if this means anything, but my Flex version is ......_A510_1.073.00_WW_GEN1

That thread was discussing the upcoming ota and being ready for it.
This thread is a post update discussion. Also that thread was cleverly and so descriptively named 'update'. I hope to keep this one uncluttered and on topic.
Plus this one is actually in the proper location. So you should probably go troll somewhere else that doesn't make you look ignorant.

I hope improvements to 'camera stability' means improvements for when the camera:
isn't playing nice with multi-tasking,
isn't sleeping properly,
might be the cause of phone over heating,
might be the cause of random reboots,
might be the source of battery drain...

Chill out everyone. They have a 2-3 week window to roll out the update. It is Monday morning, and you know how Monday's are. I wouldn't expect to start seeing anything until later today or even tomorrow.

While I get what you're saying, it's hard for me to remain calm considering how erratic my signal is. Sometimes the phone just decides it has no sim card even though it does. Data hanging? Yep, I got that. Sporadic text notifications or lack thereof? Check. Having my phone function just as a phone would ease my nerves a little bit but as it stands it does it's own thing and it seriously affects my day to day.

to be honest I hope it wont be that similar. I am on 1.78, sim free phone, and it reboots sporadicly when switching from hsdpa to wifi.... I am crossing my fingers that the new radio included in 1.84 will solve this.

You are all just going to love this. According to the tech I was working with, we are going to have to wait for the OTA update notification before we can download. The wording on the website regarding manual download immediately is incorrect. You can only do that in the case where maybe you accidentally dismissed the OTA notification. He tells me that most notifications are received within 72 hours

Update: T-Mobile has altered the support document to reflect a change in the date, now June 4th through July 7th.

Pulled OTA update changes

What changes have you noticed *if* you got your GNote early enough to received that now pulled OTA update? I've gotten my 2nd GTab from Amazon yesterday. My observations so far:
1) Pen seems to be less responsive on the new unit vs the old one. Flick sort of motion registers half the time but *a lot* more accurate on the 1st unit. Not sure if that's a software issue or if I've traded one issue for another.
2) Lag I reported earlier is there but less noticeable. Not sure if I can contribute that to better build quality. Assuming it's not a hardware issue with all GNote, it's most likely a software problem in general, which can be addressed in the future updates.
3) Serial # of the new unit is slightly behind the 1st o
4) No new software is loaded on it and it's still on 4.0.4.
Please share your update experience. Thanks.
PS unrelated: new unit seems to be a bit sturdier and back doesn't flex as much.
Smart alarm was added in the settings.

Nothing at all. Was just making an observation.
I'm from Malaysia and just gotten my GNote 10.1 yesterday and out of the box I receive not 1 but 2 OTA, each 15mb and 11mb respectively.
Still can't find any changes compared to the early adopters here

Best OTA Update Ever!

Sweet update. I always ran 1.5gigs+ of RAM and have noticed the occasional lag spikes this phone has (especially with live wallpapers), this update brought me down to 750mb of RAM. I'm hearing you can re-root after so there really is no disadvantage to this update.

actually more ram use might mean its caching better. Android memory management is a strange thing. I used to use a task killer to "free up" more memory on my old phone but that actually made it slower.

In Linux, and for that matter, all modern operating systems, more RAM used is better. Unused RAM = wasted RAM.

I don't think it's as black and white as you make it sound. This is a HUGE debate and I'm currently on the side that available RAM = better performance.

I think there is a gray area where the system should cache some of our apps. But not fill the whole damn thing up! But not cache anything at all either.
There should be a middle ground and Samsung should just run some performance test and see where we get the best response times. I really don't get how they do their testing.

Let's not get too carried away - first, if this were "the best update ever," it would have included an unlocked bootloader, and since it did not, it IS not the best ever.... second, there certain is a disadvantage to updating right now, it has not been confirmed or denied that this update has in fact patched the exploit Dan "THE MAN" has created, and to quote him directly:

If you are interested in taking advantage of this release, it is recommended that you avoid installing OTA updates until it is published. Please be aware that refraining from installing updates may prevent you from receiving security and stability fixes for your device, and consider whether this is a risk you are willing to accept.

aboot appears identical in function to original, I foresee no problem flashing this (but I do not know the details of dan's unlock). More than likely, since we know a couple variants of the bootloaderse are around, it is just bringing everyone inline to the exact same firmware.

Just got this this morning. Anybody have a clue what it did, other than bug fixes?
There is a new Samsung bloat app in the drawer now. Also the unread counts color is now matching the theme I am running. I am running Black Gold from the themestore and instead of the ugly Samsung orange unread count it is now gold to match the theme...a very welcome addition imo. Only thing I've noticed so far.

To get root we have to build it from source! The source is not released at this time. Just because the kernel is ofe doesn't make it a different kernel either. Only thing you would see is changes in the ramdisk which i doubt there are any

Ohhh.... I may have to bite the bullet an actually update then. I was going to take a "wait and see" approach and try to maintain KNOX. But I really dont give a crap about maintaining KNOX anyway TBH - I wont use Samsung pay so who cares? I may just go ahead, take the OTA and Root 5.1.1. The sounds like the update we've been waiting on. It integrates LTE carrier AGGREGATION which is better for people in spotty LTE coverage areas.
Any last minute words of wisdom/advice before I take the 5.1.1 plunge and cant go back?!
I dont really see 5.1.1 getting root that wont trip KNOX like PingPong anyway. The Flashfire method has never really materialized. I have yet to see a tutorial or FAQ for Sprint users to update to 5.1.1 Rom with Flashfire and avoid modifying the bootloader to spare KNOX and keep pingpong root. Not sure it will happen... I mean I know its theoretically very possible. I just have not seen it confirmed that a Sprint users has FlashFired to 5.1.1/OF7, new firmware and all, but kept old bootloader/boot partition and maintained their KNOX free pingpong root.
Rollout Schedule:
 7/13 5% of base
 7/18 20% of base
 7/20 30% of base
 7/22 40% of base
 7/24 50% of base
 7/26 60% of base
 7/28 75% of base
 7/30 100% of base
Details:
 A software update to G920PVPU2BOFE is available for the Samsung Galaxy S 6 beginning, 7/1315
 Stores are reminded to update demo devices to the most current software version.
Fixes/Enhancements:
 Enable Carrier Aggregation 2x20
 Various Bug Fixes
so is the original 5.1.1 supposed to be done rolling out by now? I still have not received it....I went to a local best buy asking for a manual update and they told me "you already have the latest version." so that was obviously no help. anyone know where or how i can perform this update manually? everytime i check for updates it says "error connecting to server at this time"
I gave in and just updated to OFE. I must be in the 5% initial rollout! Root incoming.

What difference do you find between 1.62 and 1.15? Better battery? More second screen functions?
For me, better signal and stability, phone more fast.
The app grid allow more app to show per line. Nothing else.

Wonder why no such update for the US and Asia especially Taiwan since normally it gets update first.
Anyway after updating sense home, the grid option 3x4 is gone and now I have 4x5 and 5x6. Is it what you have?
Option 3x4 disappear.
And here it was after the ota.

Yep exactly the same here CW unlocked., except my 401.4 -> 401.13 was 267mb... interesting.. ... Since we have been stuck on 1.09 since release ... UK users should be seeing what the US got in 1.15, such as...
Better 2nd'ary display functions and notifications, better battery, Sense home update., but I wish theyd do something with "Sense Companion" in UK, something like Bixby... or just anything really... Mine just sits on one screen saying "Your cards are deleted or out of date", and occasionally asks me to measure my steps, or give me trafficx warnings.. but nothing happens... .Wierd
Ive also gone for a full wipe..... factory reset/cache wipe through recovery, as both updates came to about 900mb... pretty big....
Anyway good to see some "HTC" love coming to the UK after 2 months of release
Thanks HTC
Hi all,
I also received this update a day ago now on my UK unlocked Sim free Black U Ultra and a short while after completing the update I got a message from EE as that's whose network my sim is from and I now have WiFi calling on my phone. That really is the only difference I have noticed on my device so far as up to now everything has been working perfectly and my second display has never had any of the issues some mention. I absolutely love this device and don't have a single regret about choosing this over any of the other so called better flagships or not waiting for the HTC 11 either. The fuss made about it not having the latest Snapdragon really is a non issue for me as I just don't believe the differences are really going to be that big or noticeable in real world use I must admit the fact I manged to get a two day old device at a good price helped but I would of paid full price and still been happy. Also battery life for me has been brilliant and as I charge it once it reaches around 35% it charges really fast to. This replaced my just over 3 year old M8 and for its been a great and worthwhile upgrade.
