Hi,
I have the stock JB romantic rooted on my razr maxx hd. It says it's system version 9.16.6 of android 4.1.2. I believe this is the latest.
The phone had recently become very large, and I notice that the ram is almost constantly maxed out. I realize that Android treats open ram as wasted ram, but when I clear the ram, my phone is fast for a couple minutes. Then the lag begins again.
I'm thinking I should clear the system cache, but when I hold down the power button along with volume up and down, and then select "recovery," I simply get an android robot with an exclamation point. I have a locked bootloader.
Can anyone tell me how to fix my issue?

Hi everyone,
I just got the Moto Xoom and have some minor issues. First thing i noticed was that it would not turn on after taking it out of the box. I hit the power key and a small orange light would flash 3 times and nothing. I can only manage to boot the Xoom using the Vol-Up + Power Key, every time i shut it down. I also keep getting a FC from the facebook app. Does anyone have any idea whats up with it? Would i need to factory reset the device? Its currently running HC 3.0.1. I havent done any kind of hacking on this yet, its completely stock.
Hope someone can help.
Regards.
When you turn it on, you are supposed to hold the power button until you see the Motorola Dual Core logo. A lot of people have trouble with the Facebook app. Do a search.

Since I updated my Nexus S (i9020a to be exact) to ICS 4.0.4, my phone has been randomly rebooting like everyday! I did manually update it but I got stock Android and also I am unrooted not have my bootloader unlocked. Why is this happening so frequently? Should I factory reset my phone?

I also had a spontaneous reboot a couple of days after I updated to 4.0.4.
It's only been four days total, so I'll be keeping an eye on it.

nope... didn't get it there...
maybe you should wipe your cache and dalvik-cache... and don't forget to fix permissions...

The thing is I'm not rooted and it seems that factory resetting actually did a job cuz no reboot so far... I'll update forum if this method works...

Personally I've had several occurences of random reboots and actually at the phone lock into a reboot loop till I pulled the battery.
I think the issue is RAM management. The Nexus S doesn't have as much RAM as most tablets and it's younger sister the Galaxy Nexus. Something in how the OS decides which of the background services should be terminated and cached under heavy RAM load seems to be part of the problem.
For example, I seem to have improved my phone stability by removing apps that update in the background and don't need to (UAL, I'm looking at you ) and disabling background updates in other applications (TripIt, PodKicker Pro, etc) to prevent them from leaving background services running. That seems to have helped in my case.

You actually might be right! Ics probably is optimized for phone with duel core and at least 1gb of ram...

wipe data may solve this issue.
I have been running Pete's Bugless Beast which has both the ROM and Kernel updated to 4.0.4. Never had a random reboot.
I doubt it is a memory issue. When my phone doesn't have a foreground app open it usually has 130 MB ~ 150 MB free. I never see it go below 100 MB.

My phone is not rooted, so is there any way to fix it without flashing anything?

Exactly when is it powercycling?
Is it when running a certain app? When plugged in? When on standby? When you set it down or bump it?
There a number of different reasons the phone could be powercycling.
If it's while running a certain app or completely at random while you're not using it, unprevoked, first try hard resetting it. That will resolve the majority of issues.
If it's when you set it down or it's bumped, it's an issue with the battery making contact. Remove your battery, clean the contacts gently with a pencil eraser, make sure the contacts are clean and free from pocket lint on the phone itself and reinsert the battery.
If it's still doing it after a reset, it could be your processor. The best way I've found to test your processor is to max it out. You can do this by running a benchmark app over and over while everything on your phone is running. I personally use "Neocore" (available in the Play Store). Turn on your bluetooth, wifi, max your screen brightness, gps, every battery sucking processor running setting available. Run Neocore as 'Interactive Mode'. If you run that for an hour without powercycling, your processor is good. If it powercycles, you have a bad processor and should have your phone replaced through Samsung warranty.
Best of luck to you!
Random reboot
My phone is rebooting at least 15 times a day !
It is very random : during a phone call/installing an app/unlock the phone/writing with keyboard/phone is idle...
Applications are also often not responding...
I did a factory reset/wipe data several times but it didnt change anything.
Phone :Nexus S i9023
Carrier : unlocked ( HK )
OS/build number : Android 4.04/IMM76D
A really big amount of people posted the same issue on google mobile forum. ( i can't post link yet as it is my first post ) title "Random reboot of nexus with Android 4" ( please google it ) , but nobody mentionned anything with CPU. Could it be really that many people having a default CPU ?
After my last post, no reboots for while but now reboots are back with increasing frequency.

I don't usually like resurrect a really old thread, but after a road trip where my Nexus S randomly rebooted 4-5 times while running Podkicker Pro and Maps Navigation I went and reset my device to factory defaults. The next day I had the phone reboot in the middle of a podcast. Today it rebooted halfway through the first ring when I received a call.
Seems to be, at least in my case, that the reboots are related to mp3 audio.
This lead me to find this bug logged against the galaxy nexus: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=22669
It doesn't provide an answer, but it does provide some insight. I think personally I might look at different ringtone formats and see if converting my custom ringtone to something other than MP3 will help, but I'm not optimistic.
I have had the Sprint HTC EVO 4g LTE for about 4 months. It's a great phone but I doubt I'll see LTE for quite some time as I'm in a high tourist area where the population explodes over 10x in the summer months then backs down to just the locals in the off season (Myrtle Beach). They wheel in a half dozen COWs for the peak season.
My first EVO phone would not connect data (1 day old) and was replaced then next day. The second phone I rooted via RegawMOD EVO 4G LTE Rooter x64 prior to the first update and after 5 weeks it was replaced due to boot loop. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1800686) Performance was great until it would not boot. (replaced by Bestbuy as "Junked Out", showed Tampered", "Unlocked")
I'm on my 3rd phone, about 2 months old, kept completely stock but noticed within the last week or so an annoying slow down. It seems that anytime I either close an app or switch to the home page I see the "LOADING..." icon for up to 30-45 seconds before displaying a desktop screen. (Multi-task switching seems okay but slower). It's become quite a pain as the performance seems to have degraded quite a bit. Also when clicking on web URLs I often get 3/4 page loaded when it dumps me back to a desktop screen. (How rude!!) Using stock browser.
I have not allowed any automatic OTA updates hoping to root again when methods have become reliable to do so.
I've checked RAM and I typically have 1.5gb free, local phone storage (10gb) shows 9.7gb free and external (32gb sdcard) with 20.5gb free so I can't see any system resources as a problem.
Is there an app that can debug the file system to determine the reason for this behavior? It has to be the operating system as the problem? I know if I re-root the phone it will rebuild the OS and file system but I'm nervous about the Bestbuy maintenance plan.
Is there any app that can report detail what is causing the slow switching?
Currently Android 4.0.3

Even after a reboot, does this happen?
You might want to try a factory reset otherwise

I was hoping for an app that would show me what application is slowing me down. I'd hate to have to start all over again...
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
Sometimes there are runaway processes, but Android has a built in task killer which you can use to find any apps that are using too much RAM (however you did say RAM wasn't an issue so I don't think that would help)
I don't think an application is the cause of the slowdown. Maybe a memory leak?
Sent from my DROID2 using xda premium
What's with the internal storage part, that is only used for System-Apps. Maybe this is full, or almost full?
You could try the app "SD-Maid" but it requires root.
I also think a factory reset is the best idea. While a stock ROM is not always...
The only thing I can think of is that I was installing a different browsers I install Chrome and Firefox and they didn't have a any better performance than the stock browser so I uninstalled them..
It's annoying to wait 30-40 seconds waiting for a cached home screen to reload.. everytime...
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
You might try aLogcat. Let it run while the phone lags, then read the log and see if you can figure out what's causing the lag.
Sudden loss of performace
So none of the logging APPs were of any help to me....(I wouldn't know what to look for...) Benchmark tests didn't show any substantial performance loss so the hardware is good.
Unable to stand watching the "Loading...." message for 30-45 seconds every time I went to home was so annoying that I hit the factory reset. Performance has returned to super fast... the same as brand new. I had also installed Chrome and Firefox but uninstalled them because Chrome (no flash support) and Firefox just not ready for mobile. URL box disappeared from stock browser so I had to do the reset.

I'd sooner bet on some app going wild.
Moto RAZR HD, Kitkat rooted, locked. VZW phone, not on VZW network.
About a week after Kitkat update my phone started this (still on VZW at the time). It will randomly get stuck with a black screen and the only way to get it back up is to hold the power button and it will do a reboot. Sometimes that reboot is no good and I need to manually shut it down again and restart. I have tried freezing things with Ti with no avail. Since it is random, I am assuming it is an app running in the background or a setting. I have posted a question about other apps to freeze on the string here and am waiting a reply.
Has anyone came across a fix for this issue or has an idea?
I doubt you will find a simple fix or app to freeze to stop this problem.
IMO your best option would be to reflash stock. You can use my script from the Dev forum and keep data, but I recommend backing up your data and doing a full wipe.

I actually did get it fixed. Well, I am declaring it fixed after 2 days with no problems.
I ran across a thread about forcing the phone to use HSPA+ and noticed the symptoms were close to what I had. Instead of doing the scrip edit as per entry one, I simply used Ti backup to freeze the fast dormancy app.
Like I said, two days with no problems at all, in fact, phone is better than ever!
It's not a brick in the normal sense. I can use my phone, but I cannot update apps, send text messages, and the phone goes from full charge to nil in 3 hours without touching it.
The app thing, I tell it to update and it will download for few seconds then it will hang. It will then try to download repeatedly and if it makes it to 100% it will try to install and it will be stuck on install for like 30 and then it like gives up and goes to the next one doing the same thing. It also tries to install when sideloading and takes 10-15 minutes. Text messages can take up to 2 days to send. And also another problem is that I can't multitask anymore I could use to start the updates in the play store and then go browse the Web. Now if I do that the downloads stop and is like that for everything I could use to go between apps without data loss now I have to finish what I'm doing before switching apps. Some help please. I've done a hard reset before and it worked fine for about a 4 days to a week and then went back to the same way

Something is possibly trashed. Have you been doing a lot of "dirty flash" updates for CM? You might want to wipe it clean with a factor data reset and reinstall clean and see how that goes.
If the issue persists, then you might want to go back to stock and see if that fixes it. If at that point, you are still experiencing the issues, then the phone might be dying.
I did neglect to mention that, I'm running bone stock right now just unlocked and rooted so it is as I feared, my phone is dying.

just because you are running stock and having the issues doesnt mean its dying.
if you flash stock clean and are still having the issues, then its likely dying.
there could easily be some building corruption that just needs to be fixed by flashing stock.
dont bother doing any factory reset, just go right for the flash, it will wipe while its doing its thing.
