Hi, I recently have been having problems with apps crashing only in landscape mode. I was on CM10.1. I now am on 10.1.3. Often times it is an emulator, YouTube, or my browser (leaning more toward a GPU problem?) I've flashed the latest firmware, wiped cache, fixed permissions, and all the usual checks like that. My last attempt was doing a completely clean wipe and it still didn't solve the problem. Usually my screen will flash black once, and then it will freeze. None of my buttons will be responsive at all. If I sit and wait, it usually doesn't fix itself and I have to battery pull. If I rotate it to portrait, after 30s or so the app will say its not responding. I can then select wait, and everything is fine. Normally if I rotate it back again, it will happen very soon again after. If I restart, it seems to last long again until it will do it. Is this a hardware issue? What can I do about this?

I am on CleanRom 3.0 right now, fresh install. Now, for the problem. Today while sitting in class I took my phone out to see it was booted into safe mode. So I rebooted it back, and noticed a lot of my downloaded apps were launching 10-25 seconds after I clicked to open them. So, I rebooted again. That didn't work. I cleared cache and dalvik cache. That didn't work. So, I dirty flashed CleanRom 3.0, which still didn't work. After driving and listening to spotify in my car, the apps launched completely fine, and still are. Does anyone know why this is happening? By the way, this happened on my rooted stock rom, that's why I switched roms. I don't know if this could cause any issues, but I do use Directory Bind.
Have you checked if power saver is on?
Another possibility could be a lot of applications running the background and just slowing your phone down.
Check your task manager by holding the home button for about 2-3 seconds.
Yea, power saving is off. And there isn't any apps running in the background when it's ran slow. Most stock apps will launch fast (settings, phone, clock), but downloaded ones won't (I funny, handcent sms). I seriously can't figure out what the issue is. I've even tried messing around with set cpu, but that didn't help.

Try cache mate.

I had been using an older version of the PACman ROM for a while without too much difficulty, then did an in-place upgrade to the latest version, clearing cache/dalvik. This caused severe lag and stuttering. Using Chrome was next to impossible sometimes because scrolling would just stop, swipes would register late, and taps might hit the wrong link cause the page decided to shift down before registering the tap. Additionally, booting was horrendous, especially waiting for WidgetLocker to load and start working so I could unlock.
Tried switching to the Marla kernel. No help.
Then decided to go slightly further back to the source with the PA ROM. Stuttering is gone but phone randomly reboots frequently. I'll just be browsing FlipBoard or Facebook or using Chrome and the bootanim will appear. Tried hiding Halo. Didn't help. Tried installing Marla. Didn't help.
Also got CatLog to try to diagnose the reboots but I don't know what to look for. So many more errors at the E level than I thought there would be. And having to tap each one to find the approximate time of the reboot didn't help much.
Considering going to straight CM but I really don't want to lose the app DPI stuff from PA.
Any ideas?

Odin stock , factory reset then flash twrp and pa.
So I guess I haven't fixed it yet. Did the restore to stock, flashed Carbon, Marla, gapps. Would still freeze for a few seconds and reboot occasionally. I've updated to latest nightly 3 times now, every time formatting system/data/cache/dalvik.
The only thing I can think of is an incompatibility between Carbon and Marla. I've had same problem while using Moretz too.
On top of the reboots, sometimes YouTube stutters now, with the sound cutting out in a glitchy/clicky way, seeming to be CPU/IO related, not network. Never had that with stock so it's a big step backward.
More info: DPI is changed to 160, Xposed app settings, NFC frozen, Greenify, Lookout.
Not sure where to start to fix this. Reboots 2-5 times a day.

Skyrocket i727 running CM-10.1-20130807 nightly. Apex launcher. On Rogers with UCMC1 radio.
It's running stable with the (big) exception that occasionally (once or twice a day) the four buttons at the bottom (settings/home/back/search) will not respond to any touch. The only way to fix it is to restart the phone. I searched the forums and cannot find an answer to why this might be happening, nor to anyone else having this problem. I have the backlight on these buttons disabled (to save power).
Also, this might be related or maybe not, but on Monday I had a very strange crash. The HOME button wouldn't work, but the BACK button and SETTINGS button did. The notification bar wasn't functioning and no push notifications were coming through. The quick-settings panel was reverted to default, and the buttons within the quick settings panel were completely unresponsive.
Even stranger, Chrome was unresponsive, Maps/Navigation were constantly force-closing, and in general the phone was throwing a massive fit over almost anything I did. I pulled the battery but that didn't help. I was forced to go into recovery mode and perform factory reset, wipe dalvik cache, and reinstall the ROM. This has worked (although a PITA) but the issue I mentioned first (bottom buttons not working) has manifested itself since then.
Any ideas what to do here?
Much appreciated!

Run the recent nightly. Could be an issue with your rom, although I haven't seen your problem.
I just flashed the most recent nightly a few minutes ago.
Should I go back into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik? (note: When I flashed the ROM through CM Updater / TWRP, it 'optimized' 119 apps... so I think it automatically wiped the cache...?)

You should be ok. I never go back and wipe caches
The original issue is still occurring even on newest nightly. Completely random (using different apps each time - Facebook, Messenger, Youtube, etc...).
Any idea if a setting I can change is causing this?

Hi, CM 10.1. Out of the blue a lot of my apps seem to be crashing at random. this inckudes the stock browser packed into CM, Trebuchet, reddit and pretty much anything it seems. My phone has been 100% solid until recently with these crashes.
What usually happens is, i will notice black "slits" flash on the left and right corners/sides of my screen, about 1/2 my screen in total between the two slits, then my phone will freeze. It doesn't seem to want to knock out of this state unless I tilt my phone back to portrait (I'm always using it in landscape). None of the hardware buttons work during this, nor the lock button. Anyone have a clue as to what's up with this? I feel like something is wrong with the GPU. I haven't installed anything new lately other than game emulators; however it's not happening only when they are running.
Another thing to add, is that once it decides to be fixed, if I continue playing on say an emulator it will freeze again shortly after.
Fix permissions?
If that doesn't work, try un installing the emulators

Tried it. Actually installed a different kernel and updated the firmware as well. Still happened
I seem to have really strange issues with this phone.
I've tried both C-Rom and Cyanogen and both of them have these same issues.
When I first turn on the phone, it will run, but everything will stutter around at about 1-2 fps for about 2 minutes. I can confirm that this happens even with no 3rd party apps installed.
Secondly, half the time when I go to grab the phone and just check notifications and so on, I'll unlock it and try to press something and it'll be frozen. I have to wait about 2 minutes before I can do anything else on it. The only thing I can do in this time is lock the screen, but not unlock it. I can tell it frozen at a low level because I have a system setting in C-Rom to play a sound when the battery dis/reconnected and that doesn't play while it's in this state. Has anyone else been experiencing this? I've already completely wiped the phone completely once using the return to stock guide and these issues have not been resolved.
Had the same problem with stock ROM or tried with GPE? Might be a hardware problem...

Are you still having these issues or did you find a fix for them? I have the Boost Mobile one, but are you suggesting that I could/should put the GPE ROM on here?
Isn't this a memory usage ( ram ) problem that's been mentioned?

The first part (FPS issue) happens to me, whe the phone boots, the FPS go down, bad, but the phone works ok, if i put the stopwatch app (CM11) time runs normally but the screen refreshes every half second or more.
Now, the second problem, about the phone freezing whan it wakes up, never happened to me, but i have to recognize that i had a few (2 or 3) reboots just when i waked up the phone and one time it just freezed with the screen off.
