I have Galaxy S with Android 2.3.4 JVR and it works like a charm - with this one exception: sometimes (too often) phone, contacts and messages (sms) keep closing. This happens usually within a second or two after opening up them. There's no force close message, it just returns to the home screen without any warning. If I reopen it, it usually does the same a couple of times, but eventually I get it to open.
At first I thought this must be a memory issue. However, I have Autokiller installed (my phone is rooted) and I have usually >100M free memory. Then I thought it must be Autokiller killing the dialer, contacts or messages apps. BUT: this happened also before I had Autokiller installed, so it can't be that either. The strangest thing is that I tried installing GO SMS Pro and GO Contacts + Dialer, and even they do the same thing occasionally (close immediately after I open them), so it isn't a problem with apps either.
I am bedazzled here, could somebody please help me? This starts to get really annoying, since the dialer, contacts and messages are the feature you normally use most in your phone!
I have the exact same problem! Somebody, please help
the phone app and etc. seem to be corrupt or something
try reflashing.If you keep getting the problem then revert back to your previous rom =/
Is there any way to try to replace only the phone etc. apps without flashing the whole rom?
from my experience no but you can try replacing phone.apk sms.apk etc with the previous rom's apps
The funny thing is that I have a stock 2.3.4 JVR, so it should be stable.
Plus, did I mention that this happens only sometimes? Sometimes they work ok. But this happens often enough to be annoying. You know, when you would have to make a quick phone call you have to open the phone app like 3-4 times, only then you're able to make it. I wondered if the the problem could still be in the dialer, contacts and messaging apps even if the problem occurred only sometimes?
In addition, the calendar app has done this a couple of times. Could it be that there's a conflicting app that's causing this? If so, do you have any suggestion what it would be?
Autokiller made my phone do some really funny stuff. After installing it i was having random reboots and apps crashing so i uninstalled and problem solved. You said it was happening before you installed it though so im just guessing that you need to either wipe cache and dalvik then reboot or do a full wipe and reinstall of your rom. When you do the full wipe go into mounts and storage and wipe system too
Hi and thanks for your comment. What are the effects of wiping the cache and the dalvik cache? Do I lose important data? Or can I do it safely? Sorry, I'm a bit of a n00b with android. I suppose you wipe the cache in download mode, right?
I experience exactly the same issue as you-though I am on stock jvu.I come from 2.3.3, stock as well, using chainfire root both times.
Sometimes phone contacts and message s close immediately after opening them, often several times. and sometimes everythings fine
here you can find some information about dalvik and normal cache wipe..your data will be safe-only first boot will take longer.I will try wiping now, too-reporting back then.
Edit:
For now wiping seems to have worked well and fixed the problem here..I need some more testing though-will keep you up to date here
edit 2: damn! The issue's still there.anyone got more ideas?
G'day!
I have the exact same problem with JVU and I had this problem with 2.3.3 but less frequent. I have no choice but to reboot the phone when it happen. I suspect it's caused by one of the widget (email and Go weather) that I put on the desktop. Going to remove the two widgets from desktop and see if it's help.

Okay, that sounds interesting - though I am not sure wheter a widget could cause this...
I am still running JVU but now with Galaxian Kernel instead of Chainfires root Kernel - flashed with SGS Kernel Flasher and still got root - and it runs very stable and fast 'till now. No more closing of phone, contacts and messages so far -.- since 2 days.
I'll tell you when it happens again, but so far it seemed to be a kernel issue for me...
I've been having the same issues with my Samsung SideKick 4G. messages would keep closing as I was typing them, I would lag and the key I pressed would "press again" like 15 more times, sometimes I just couldn't open a conversation, other times I couldnt answer phone calls cause the UI lagged.
That was all on stock firmware, and I got fed up with it so I tried to flash a custom ROM on it, and before I did that I had it OC'd to 1.2GHz which was actually pretty great. Needless to say, I screwed up on flashing the ROM and now I'm looking for firmware to odin back to stock. =\
Hi,
I've got problems after installing IceColdSandwich ROM v.8.3 AOKP, and as I'm a newbie I'm unable to post to the correct section.
When I write messages, sometimes the keyboard doesn't respond and I have to hit many times the same character to get it written, and sometimes I get the character next to the one I hit.
Another problem is : from time to time, when I write a text, after some time the words are no more written in the text section, but they appear only in the keyboard suggestions section.
I had first the BlindIce ROM and the keyboard problems were permanent, so I changed to ICE DS ROM with Sense 3.6, there was no problem but as I hate HTC Sense, I changed to IceColdSandwich. The keyboard problems came back but very less compared to BlindIce...
Could you help me to fix these problems ?
Thanks.
May low ram? Close unnecessary apps in the background. Try switching keyboards.

i also have experience that, solution: select force closed in scrolling cache, and never use oc, governor, i have notice this when the rom is newly installed, no prob at all but when i try to OC thats when this happen, also in games the touch always release your hold so i cant even enjoy my game, and have to switch rom
I tried closing all unnecessary apps in the background and switch keyboard, but the problem persists.
I selected force closed in scrolling cache, but what does "OC" mean ?
Thanks

try to install the rom again, full wipes, then first thing you do is to force closed scrolling cache, OC means over clocking, dont enable this feature in performance tab, or simply dont do anything in performance tab in rom control
Think that this problem is due to a full wipe needed. When you install a ROM, even an update of it, it's very very advisable to do te full wipe, first data, cache and if you want dalvik.This will solve some issues and save battery life (sometimes?). Moreover, if your battery is doing weird things you can do wipe battery. Read some posts about it.
Hi,
I did everything you told me but there is still the problem with the keyboard. I tried with a game and I had problems with the touchscreen too...
Is there anything else I can do ?
Thanks
Ever since I got the TF300T, I felt it was a little sluggish at times. I assumed it was because of all the bloatware and/or the Asus ROM.
I've dealt with it ever since I got it, which is pretty much the day it came out, and I'm tired of that.
I really hoped Jelly Bean or KitKat would help so I unlocked the bootloader, flashed TWRP and flashed a CM11 nightly. (From the 18th I think.)
Its been running for a few hours now, and I feel like its just as slow as before.
I'm aware I could buy a newer device (like a Nexus 7 or 10) but that's not an option right now.
I'm also aware that I could try another ROM like OMNI or Cromi but
(a) I choose CM because I've used their ROMs in the past and I trust them, and
(b) I'm not really in excited about trying 2, 3 or 5 different ROMs
Is this the sort of performance I should expect from this device?
Is this as good as it gets?

You should see a significant performance improvement from stock to CM11. For example starting or switching applications is much faster.
Can you describe in more detail, what you are doing, and where you consider it to be slow?

Did you wipe /data, /system, /cache, & dalvik cache before you flashed CM11?
what he said
like ebildude said make sure to do proper wipes before installing rom. i've personally only used cromix and it works great, even though it's stock based - theres lots of tweaks. also look into getting a fast microsd and take a look at rom2sd ,data2sd and cache2sd tweaks in the cromi thread-may boost performance a little. hope you get it working to your satisfaction, this is really a good little machine when it works right, can even dual boot linux, look at the xubuntu thread.

Try installing a kernel, like GEASS or GRIM. Then use overclock and a new scheduler.

I flashed it yesterday afternoon around 3pm and didn't do much with it other than
add my Google account
create a new user account and link that to Google
I haven't loaded it down with apps, yet.
In general, moving about the device seems choppy (not smooth) and its not responsive whether I'm
Opening and closing the app drawer
Scrolling the app drawer or home screen
Accessing menus in settings.
When turning on the screen it takes 5-7 seconds before the screen actually turns on.
Launching applications or games aren't any faster and there's some stuttering when watching media. (Like HBOGO)

I did a factory reset, installed ROM then wiped cache. I'll look at the TWRP menu when I get home.

I really like this device for a variety of reasons, and I'd love to dual boot Linux! (I'm a huge FreeBSD and Gentoo fan!) Despite how sluggish its been, I've gotten a lot of work done on this device. Well via things like Citrix and LogMeIn. When traveling we use it to watch TV and do things that would otherwise be too difficult to do on a phone.
I have a 32GB Class 10 microsd in the tablet and 16GB Class 10 SD card in the battery/keyboard portion.
Something just occurred to me: Could it be that the system is scanning the SD cards? One is mostly empty (twrp backup, files for flashing) but the other is packed with data. (Maps for OsmAnd, TitaniumBackup backups, music, photos and other stuff etc.)

The TWRP Factory reset wipes data, cache and dalvik not including internal storage.
The advanced wipe let's you choose the option to wipe everything, but I only did cache and dalvik.
Also after flashing a ROM TWRP has a convenient 'Wipe Cache/Dalvik' button on the screen, which I did.
So to be sure, I just did a factory reset again , followed by an advanced wipe wiping everything except my memory cards (Data, dalvik, system, cache). I reflashed CM11, wiped cache and dalvik then flashed the gapps.
That sufficient?

I'll read into this a bit more and maybe give it a go. Does one seem to work better for the TF300T than the other?

Well by my testing, GEASS seemed more stable, but Grim had more raw power. It will depend on what apps you have installed and use.

Opening recent apps can sometimes take 2-3 seconds, especially if there are a lot of recent apps and it has not been used in a while. But usually it is less than 1 sec. Everything else you list should be very snappy, less than 1 sec, usually far less.
When turning on the screen it takes 5-7 seconds before the screen actually turns on.

That is much too long! I get the lock screen in less than a second.
Did you see any improvements after the full wipe including data?

That is indeed possible; maybe it is waiting for the device to settle, especially during the long screen-on time.
Any improvement, if you remove the sdcards?

Ok its been about a few hours since I wiped + reflashed and I have a bittersweet update.
The Good:
I'm noticing an immediate improvement this time around!
+ The CPU is now at a more reasonable 0.1x-0.2x versus a constant 3.xx - 5.xx!
+ When waking up from sleep (pressing the power button) the screen is on almost immediately versus 5-7 seconds.
+ Opening the app drawer, moving between screens is not only faster (more responsive) but its not as choppy. (maybe completely lagless)
+ In general its noticeably faster.
+ I installed Netflix, HBO GO etc and playback is smooth.
The Bad:
- There's still the occasional slowness in general, although not as frequent, but its especially slow when downloading & installing apps. (like it hangs)
- It was running nicely *until* I added a second user. Immediately after creating the account, there was a significant decrase in performance. I noticed this in the stock Asus ROM even after wiping and not installing anything. Not sure if this is an Android thing or unique to this device. (Also, it just rebooted right in the middle of creating the account; fluke I suppose as it didn't happen a second time.)
- CPU is now hanging around 0.3x - 0.5x after adding the new user. I assume its caused by whatever background processes associated with the new account but the 'presence' of the new account is being felt.
While I'm not excited about the cons, its considerably better than what it used to be.
I'll test without the microSD & SD card tomorrow and let the system 'rest' and 'settle' for tonight.
Your input has been invaluable and I'll keep pressing on!

Is there a [CM] utility that allows you to easily update to the most recent nightly?
Or do we just download the zip and flash in recovery?

Try the ROW I/O scheduler, that should perform much better with background writing.

There is a CM updater in the system "about" settings.

Most ROMs lag when updating from the store etc. Just turn off auto updating and do them manually and don't use the tab for 5 mins whilst it is updating.
As for multi user - it's bawked - never seen it work well on any device. I'd forget it for now as the performance hit is not worth it.

You can use the CM updater found in your settings.
My devise had been lagging for a while but recently I feel it's too much. Sometimes just entering the pin lags way behind after tapping the numbers, and even to turn on the screen it takes a few pressing the ON/OFF button for the screen to wake up. Any ideas as why and how to solve this?
6045I rooted and running stock 6.0.1
Thanks for any help

Maybe because of cache app. The more the apps are used, the more their respective cache grows up, leading to slow read-write operations on memory
For my case, when the phone becomes lagging too much, wipe cache cache and dalvik cache through recovery (wiping cache may be done via settings, but not dalvik/ART-cache)
Also decrease any kind of animations down to 0 (developper menu)
Usually, It's much better after
Here is a some solution. The exact same thing was happening to me and it was pathetic.
Since you are already rooted it is easier for you now.
Solution - Update to "AOKP" Nougat ROM.
No joke, this thing has improved the speed, quality, and basically EVERY SINGLE DAMN thing about my device...like everything is buttery smooth and it has a TON of amazing features. Just try it.
Make sure you have a backup of important things like photos, cellular firmware, stock rom, stock recovery...etc.....
Hello guys! I have a bit tricky/technical question here. Yesterday I wanted to refresh my Pixel 3 a bit (clean flash with the December firmware, then rooted and never received OTA updates) so I booted TWRP and cleared the Dalvik Cache. When I rebooted, I noticed that some apps (especially Google ones like Youtube, built-in Camera, Maps) all suffer from a slow launch. A lot slower. Like... 3-4 seconds before the YouTube app can show anything different than the white splash screen with the red play logo. The Camera is also slow enough to see the fully black screen with the small centered camera icon for 2 seconds too. This only happens on clean start (when the app is cleared from the Recent Apps panel).
I checked the /data/dalvik-cache folder and it seems that all files are re-created after the wipe, however it's fairly obvious that the apps are no longer running from the odex/oat/whatever it's called now binaries. Clearing the app cache doesn't solve the issue, I've tried that. The only 'working' solution seems to be uninstalling the offending apps (e.g. Youtube) and then performing a clean install from the PlayStore. Then, the app launches fast as usual. However, I'm afraid that I can't do this for all of my apps (I'm going to lose preferences) plus I'm kind of afraid that the System apps (like the "Settings" app) cannot be re-installed with such ease and I will be stick with slow 'clean starts' here and there forever.
Do you guys know how I can trigger the 'App optimization' process that is observed when an OTA update is applied? You know, that time consuming screen that says 'Optimizing apps, 7 of 82'. This is when Android rebuilds the dalvik-cache and apparently I need to manually perform that. The other option would be to perform a clean flash (I'm already 4 months behind anyway), but I'm not particularly thrilled by the idea. Any suggestions on how to manually trigger the App Optimization process in order to rebuild my Dalvik?
I don't have a fix for you, but don't do that with TWRP. It does not apply to newer phones.
