I'm getting mad trying to debug these random reboots. I'm getting a lot of them while the device is sleeping, without any advice. Sometimes it even halts and gets to a black screen, and I've to remove the battery to restart it, because just pushing the power button won't do anything.
Here's the last_kmsg:

May anybody please help me addressing them? I've already tried all the standard things, like wipe dalvik cache, fix_permissions, wipe and reinstall and so on. Of course I'm ready to provide any additional info, if needed.
Thanks and keep up the great work!
BUG: scheduling while atomic: suspend/7/0xc00b67f9
I think this is the main problem with this crash. Any clue?
try
I suggest trying to remove widgets before then reboot and wipe dalvik cache.. I was having similar problems when I did this it worked fine.. Dont really expect anyone to help you here, they get pissed when people ask simple questions.
Okay, I'm gonna try this. Thank you very much!
im using that rom at the moment, have been using cyan for ages but i can no longer use it, its so damn laggy get blank screens between different apps ,reboots its so unusable
Today I tried a full format and reinstall. Started from scratch, and installed on top of the default 1.5 rom, and it seems to work much better. I still have some rare RR issues during normal app usage, but at least it does not reboots itself randomly without being used.
Trying to clear dalvik cache didn't help, the phone still was unusable, so I decided to format the SD without ext partition.
I'll try it out for some days, if I still will see many reboots I think I'll try out the RA rom, I've read it's much more stable.
Just why exactly didn't you flash 1.6 android first like it's advised?
Hey guys,
I have my Nexus S (9023 variant) for some good 4 months now and I'm still quite happy with it!
Running unrooted stock 2.3.4 version.
However, I seem to feel like the phone is getting a bit jerkier / sluggish than it used to be before. I've noticed an increase in battery consumption of the Android OS process (not the system one) as opposed to before (like in a 100%-0% charge, it used to be 1-2 minutes, now it can go up to 10 mins time usage).. Sometimes going from one app to the other seems to have a noticeable lag. Sometimes the Google Music player is just slow to start playing... sometimes even the swiping of the home screens dies.
Also I used to have 2 days battery life and now some 1.5 days (which forces me to charge every night).
I would suspect than an increase on the Androis OS process would mean an increase in internal task switching.
How can one alleviate the problem ? Is there a way to sort of "cleanup" the system ? Does it degrade over time needing a factory reset or something ? I have some applications installed (some of them I hardly use though) but I suspect that even though those optimizations have their notifications disabled, they can be reacting to some kind of low-level OS events..
Anyway thanks for any thoughts guys!
What ROM are you running? And I would suspect that apps are the main problem if it persists after a reboot.
Stock 2.3.4, unrooted
Guess it's on to uninstall some apps then
Factory reset would solve all your problems I assume. Pity you are not rooted so you can back up your ROM.
I'm actually thinking of rooting soon, because I made some video recordings in a concert and they were plain horrible (distorted). So I might try to install a kernel with voodoo.
I guess I can always manually backup for once...
I have the google services backup activated... doesn't it mean that I can restore all my apps after a factory reset ?
https://market.android.com/details?id=tw.nicky.CleanCache
You can use that to clean up your caches. I suspect a lot of programs installed or one or a few that are pulling your performance down. You could go about this in a few different ways. One is to uninstall everything you've downloaded from the market. That should give you a boost. Or you can start uninstalling programs one at a time until you see your performance increase then that's your culprit. Another idea is to delete all your SMS, MMS, and voicemail. I've seen people with hundreds of texts that after deleting them, notice an improvement.
A cache and dalvic cache wipe would help speed things up. Hopefully that market app above can do both. Normally done through a custom recovery.

Nice ideas guys!!
Think I will try to install titanium backup and backup my apps. And since I'm on it, I will also root my phone and install the net archy kernel cause the last time I took my phone to a concert I ended up with 1 hour of unusable footage due to sound issues.
Does anyone get this; open something with a long list (e.g. gallery), then scroll quickly by flicking the list up/down and do it so the list keeps scrolling. I get lag when doing this, and its not smooth (believe the effect i'm after is called "buttery..?"). What ends up happening for me is that the scroll stutters and it ends up opening a file in the list that i'm scrolling.
I get this with a fair few ROMs and have always lived with it until today when I decided enough is enough and I need to man up and ask for help, plus I really want to use the Viper S rom effectively as the comments about this ROM suggest that this should not be happening.
I've wiped (factory reset in recovery then wipe all excpet sd, then cleared cache and dalvic PLUS i also select the wipe function in the viper aroma before install) and installed the ROM 3 times. Strange thing is, i don't get the problem after the first few restarts (not FC but me restarting it) but then for no reason at all, this lag issue appears (i have yet to restore titaniaum apps/download any apps at this point).
Sometimes it happen.
If you can't live with it, you can try the following:
a. Change the governor. On demand or lag free will offer you better performance. (affecting negatively your battery life)
b. Overclock a bit.
c. Change your kernel. Sebastian's seems to be working nice.
d. Use system tuner to check the apps that auto start and use your resources.
I hope it helps.

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?
Sent from my TF300T using Tapatalk
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?

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.

[Q] Slow Moto G and vibration issues
1. I recently got a Moto G XT1032 and updated OTA to Lollipop 5.0.2. I did not use it before updating, it has 500-700 MB of free space, I also erased the cache partition, but the phone is extremely slow. So slow that when opening Facebook for the first time, I have 15-20 seconds of white screen and then it loads, and 5-10 seconds of white screen for WhatsApp, GMail or Spotify. If it's in any way relevant, it's not rooted, I am using Aviate launcher, no other customizations and when using Apus launcher, for example, it's a tad faster. I know Moto G was not supposed to be one of the faster phones on the market even when it was released, but what would you recommend me to do to bring it to a decent speed? Meaning which ROM, script, optimizations, Android version etc. would you recommend?
2. Issues with vibrations: it vibrates a couple of times (for example when typing a couple of letters on the keyboard or when getting 1 notification) and then it stops vibrating. Even when using vibrate test from Test my Android, it does not vibrate and the only way to make it vibrate again is to shake it. After shaking, if I use long vibrate test, it vibrates for minutes, but if I start and then stop it, it stops vibrating on the 3rd of 4th try (probably depends on how hard I've shaken it). On short vibrate test, it stops vibrating after 2-30 vibrations (again, depends how hard shaken before). If test is on and I shake it, it starts vibrating again, so it seems to have trouble starting the vibration. Is this a hardware problem and any idea how to fix it? Did not manage to try solution from http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/help/guide-fix-annoying-bad-vibration-t2860152 because I don't currently have the tools to open it.
PS: also not sure how relevant it is, but at some point it had a cracked screen and LCD+frame was replaced with something bought from eBay.
I'd try a factory reset. It's something I always did after updating the stock rom via Ota. Just backup your apps and settings. Anyway I'd advice installing a custom rom since my Moto G slowed down too a lot after upgrading to 5.1.
So is it normal for the device to be so slow? I will try in the evening the factory reset and then reinstall the apps (will probably use Helium). About custom roms, I don't need anything fancy and with lots of customizations, just based on Lollipop and fast, what would you recommend?
Sort of because lollipop is far heavier than kitkat and a big os upgrade without a wipe may leave too many trash files in the system. If you want fast roms you should try the aosp based ones. I'm currently using Paranoid.

Thanks, I did a hard reset, reinstalled apps and the speed has improved quite much. At least I don't get "application is not responding" messages and it's as slow as it should for the hardware it has. I would not unlock it and put custom ROM on it, factory reset was enough.
