Did you try force stopping apps that are running in background ? I change my cpu and voltage on mine. if you changed voltage , don't select set on boot and you need to run some apps and you can use a stability test app to see if your phone doesn't freese,restart and is stable.
You can look at this if you want to know about undervolting.

I already fixed it, i wiped my data in recovery mod now its all ok, btw thx for your answer.

Any way to free up RAM in CM7?

Hey guys, the longer I leave the phone on the less RAM I have.. I am down to a measly 62MB of ram at the end of the day.. I thought that android 2.2+ didn't need task killers? Anyone have any apps or ideas to help with that?
Edit: Please move this thread, I posted it in the completely wrong section I didn't have my glasses on, sorry.
Don't use any task killers but if you need a memory helper def go with "autokiller" from market. Its free and will def free up some ram for ya.

Does your phone slow down? If it's not slowing down, don't worry about it. Apps stay asleep in ram and don't run, this just means they don't have to be reloaded and are saved in the position they are in when you left them... this is the pseudo multi-tasking. If it's not slow, don't mess with it. Mine runs down that low fairly often with no loss of speed. But you can adjust the minimum settings in autokiller as suggested above if it bothers you that much
you can always enable some swap space.

Are you talking about compcache?
And my phone seems to progressively get laggier throughout the day but a reboot every morning seems to be sufficient.
Using autokiller with the optimum preset keeps me with 120 mb free and things still run fast and smooth. . .

I use advanced task killer and it works fine. Under settings I have auto kill set to safe and to do it when screen turns off

Comp cache will be slower, and isn't necessary for phones with as much ram as ours. Swap is far different than comp cache, and may help some, but I notice no difference.

one thing that I do is use Titanium Backup to roll updates into the ROM. it hasnt caused me any issues yet that a reboot doesnt solve.
If you long press on an item in Titanium Backup...you get an option to integrate update into rom. Doing that will free up a small bit of storage, but for multiple apps it might add up for some people. My phone is smooth as butter running CM7

Maybe running donut or eclair, but anything post froyo has absolutely no need for a task killer, simply use google search.

Weird reboots?

I'm using matr1x's v22.5 jb kernel with slimbean. Whenever I try to change the CPU speeds my phone reboots and the settings are not saved. Does anyone know why this is? I've tried changing them with ROM toolbox pro and nstools but both did the same thing.

Yeah I don't have that here... try it with setcpu too though.

Will do. Might I note everything becomes unresponsive before restarting.

Yeah no crap like that here... try setcpu or reflash kernel.

Don't have any money for setcpu unfortunately, but I did manage to get my min CPU set to 200 but I can't change the max CPU. I felashed the kernel, too.

Are you trying to underclock? Don't.
So setting my MX CPU to 800 would not be a good idea? I'm trying to do everything I can to preserve my battery life.

Actually you will be able to underclock in my next release without any problems because I've included the bug fix for that... for now you can run it at 1Ghz.

i have encountered same problem several times due to NSTool did not automatically change the kernel's default settings.
but sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't , how strange is it ... can't really figured it out...
however, it doesn't actually caused problem just little annoying

setCPU , why don't you just use NSTool ? it's free and more usable...

Why is my phone always hot???

My phone is literally hot all of the time. After about a minute of use it will become rather warm in my hand, no matter what ROM, kernel, or if I'm on JB or ICS. Oh and it didn't used to be this way. What's up guys? And suggestions to fix it?

Do you have a kernel that let's you OC if so the processor could be above 1.5ghz which would cause this. Try setcpu if you find it running higher

Had the issue to before. Was a bad kernel.

I flashed the stock kernel and ROM earlier but still running hot...
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
Our phone gets noticeably hotter than most phones because of the processing power. You gotta figure that our phones are running at a higher RPM than most others. Hot/warm is normal when you're actually using your phone. I recommend downloading an app like system tuner to check the actual degrees. I run about 120 F for a CPU temp when doing things on my phone which is normal. I've been told that a cpu temp of 150+ is when you need to worry and unplug and remove the battery etc to let it cool. Battery temps are normaly 109F and I've never seen mine go higher than that.
My first phone always got warm with minimal use. My replacement not so much.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
Your phone may be defective, or you have a bad kernel, or maybe even an odd battery.
In any case, I suggest closing all background apps every couple of hours and maybe even undervolting your CPU when your screen is off to keep it cool.
It could be the rom... try clearing ram... or try underclocking the cpu

hey there, i happened to see there is a solution about hot phone issues, check it out http://forum.ksmobile.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=8&highlight=hot
I happen to be that problem and I observe it after a several flashing of Custom Rom and alll I notice is it depends on the Rom you flash and it's kernel or if you are on the stock rom, it supposed to be that your apps including background apps are drinking the juice of your battery. You can try Greenify to limit the background apps

troubles with 4.2.2

At work 400 people have a S2 Plus. After the update, many problems have arrived:
- APN settings are lost, set to basic. This could be a problem for busines phones.
- [email protected] crashes..... no worries, just an App..
- Google+ crashes... Hmm, sleightly worrying
- S Planner is messed up. Options are unreachable, Letters are massive and i'm unable to change to week view.. it's locked on month (as soon as i have pictures i'll show
- Email letters are massive... changable for email itself but buttons stay big
As soon as i find more, I'll share
Anyone else have these problems?
No I don't have these problems...May be you can reflash the Rom?
Sent from my GT-I9105P using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
We have about 400 S2 Plus phones here, it would not be wise to reflash all those ROM's.. about 50 of those phones have troubles.
Have you guys tried wiping data... like factory reset the whole phone
Sent from my GT-I9105P using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
update to 4.2.2 without wiping will have crashes in some of the apps. it will happen to other phone too(my good old ace),it's wise to have it backup then update n wipe.
I am not having such problems too.
Sent from my GT-I9105P using Tapatalk
We just let people update, so indeed we updated without factory wipe.
I'll test it on one of the devices'.
Would another option be re-installing the apps? if i could get my hands on the apk of s-planner for instance..
at leat try to clean cash it may help ..
Try factory reset first.
Installing system apps as custom app isn't really that ideal to me

Jups i know
Any of you have problem with phone freezing? Not in use, when it is on standby. It work only when it is rebooted (holding power button for 5 seconds) or when battery is pulled out and powered on again.
Friend of mine has this problem since he upgraded to 4.2.2. First it was often, he used Powersave option. After he turned Powersave off, phone worked normal for some day (about 10). And now the problem occurred again, without Powersave on.

Sometimes it's not related to power save. It might just be a system bug:

Disabling second core

I dont get a very good battery backup.....i tried both phantom and thunderzap kernels.
The best i can do is that i run the phone at 810 Mhz with undervolted cpu .....i even lowered the brightness a lot more than the default limit.......now how about disabling the second core and run the core0 at 810 Mhz or say 1 Ghz ??? or maybe a little overclock.
Kernel tuner app doesnt help....same is the case with "2nd Core" app and "Xcore " app ......can someone help me ????
Sent from my C2104 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
If u disable 2nd core u will hav lags.so its better not to do that.u should show it to the sony service centre to find whats making ur battery drain problem.maybe its battery prob dude

On which kernel you tested it? For me it works on ThunderZap 3.1 ultra kernel, see the screenshot.
Same kernel as urs

Make sure that SuperSu is up to date. Trickster Mode relies on it to execute and hold settings.

I flashed thunderzap again (i m a user of phantom ) .....this time it works ......its weird.....
Anyways , thanks a lot dude .....i ll post here after a day or two that how well this setting works ......is there no way to achieve this on phantom kernel ? Because all the point of disabling the second core is battery life and people say that phantom has got better battery backup .....no offence to thunderzap and i havent tested it personally
Have u been using the phone with just one core ??? If yes , then how isbthe battery ??
Sent from my C2104 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
No I use both cores with Phantom 4.5
Since I don't game and only use my phone for mail, surf and calls my battery is really good. I can go for 1.5 days easily. Phone is slightly overclocked overclocked as well to 1.24Ghz
