Random sluggishness? - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Guys,
I am running the latest community rom with 1.2 oc and a not so aggressive undervolt. I randomly get sluggish performance. Try and fling/scroll and it will hang for two moments and then move.
Any idea why?

ide say thats normal.. i used to get 3-5 seconds of lag.. now its a max of 2 if any.. its just part of andriod and its programing.

Sounds like memory management. A good unobtrusive app to use is process monitor widget, free in market. Let's you see & record what's going on.

Would a larger sd card help speed?

I've got the same thing, I've odined back to stock on up to 1.3 and it's no better.

No sluggishness whatsoever, nemesis2all is finishing up on fully implementing BFQ.

None here either...and I expected some comming back from aosp...

Thanks for the tip on bfq. Seems to have quicken the reflexes of my phone.

Phone lags a lot sometimes.

Why does the phone lag to the point of barely working?
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
Well, for starters tell us what your running.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Must be on stock 2.1.....
I haven't had lag at all in a very long time. Do yourself a favour and try one of the froyo roms...
I also will lag a lot sometimes, a lot that even the launcher will restart whenever i go back to home from an application. So I check the free memory it's less than 30mb even though I used autokiller memory optimizer setting (60,70,80). Thus I check the apps run, nothing wrong with it. I reboot and run those apps again, and I still left ~90mb ram and it back to normal (fast).
P.S I am using 2.2
Weird, I seriously cannot think of the last time I had any lag at all....
The only time I get any is when the phone first boots up for like a couple seconds before the sd card reads, then it is fast as hell.
What rom are you using? Could it maybe be an app you have?
I'm on the stock 2.1 with Rogers.
even killing all tasks doesn't help when it's lagging bad.

Oh god, stock 2.1 sucks. Do you at least have jit enabled?
try to change to 2.2.1 ROM, I use CM 6.1.3 and it's awesome!!!
it will lag when the gallery tries to cache all the photos in your memory card. You can't do anything about it(well i don't know what can you do to remove the lag).

It's not even when I'm loading any photos. Even if I'm in handcent_SMS the thing slows down to a halt. Very annoying.

System Tuner

Anyone uses this app yet. It was recommend by Clemsyn on XDA as a better alternative to setcpu. I download the free version in the market, but the UI is a bit confusing. Seems like a little better optimization available.
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
I saw his recommendation and downloaded the free version. I its a little overwhelming as i'm still noobish, but it seems to have a larger breadth of options than set cpu. As far as its relative reliability, i'm not sure. There is no "apply" button for uv steps tho, so an unintentional finger slip can cause your phone to freeze! just try it out, see if you like it I guess

I have been using this ever since it came out it replaces a lot of apps out there and the CPU tuner is compatible with dual core phones and utilizes them completely. It has an app manager, auto starts, frequency controls, sd booster and many more uses. I for one think it is one of the best apps I have in my root arsenal .

I was using this for a little and noticed something weird im running the v6 supercharger scripts and in my memory settings the last mem setting would change from 275mb to 256mb. I tried everything so that it wouldnt mess with my supercharger scripts but no go. I unistalled it and everything has been back to normal. Anyone else notice this?

I bought the Pro version and am liking it better than SetCPU now that I have got used to it and have everything set up. I would like to see live update on the widget when the screen is on though. Lowest setting is 10 seconds.

CPU Clock

Hey guys, I know we can underclock our CPU but has anyone found a good app to either increase the min frequency and have it actually stick? The only one I've found was System tuner by 3c but it only sticks for a bit and then either hangs or just plain doesn't work. I've found that keeping the min values at about 608mhz will stop just about all music skips for me. And yes I know this will kill my battery.

Oh wow. I forgot to reboot! No frills CPU is working now. Thanks for kickstarting this thing I call a brain.
Sent from my MB870 using XDA
Ok I'm getting annoyed now, no frills CPU works BUT it kills itself minutes after I leave the app. Ill set the CPU to...lets say 1ghz min and Max it will show in system panel that indeed it is staying clocked at 1ghz and not fluctuating. Then ill go do something else on my phone, for example, browse the xda forums, I come back to system panel and its fluctuating again!!! Ive tried rebooting after setting the CPU min/Max but it will still do the same thing. Ive noticed that after i exit no frills it either goes into cached processes or it just stops and acts like i killed it, any ideas?
Edit: I wanna say its a superuser hang issue, I've tried supersu but it seems to hang as well but I'm open to peoples opinions.

Yep same thing I'm getting, I'm wondering if there is an init.d script that could be made that would lock it at certain frequencies. That.....is out of my knowledge
Sent from my MB870 using XDA
sorry guys
this isn't possible
no matter how you try to set the min/max with ANY unit.d script or app, it just
will not stick.
at first it well seem like it's working for a few minutes. but then something happens and the kernel basically says "no that ain't gonna happen anymore" and kicks the min/max back to where it should be (the sliders in the apps won't move, but the actual system min/max and governor will be what it is supposed to be)
trust me, I've tried this from just about any angle fire the longest time.

Post your battery stats!

Hey guys, please post your battery stats by using app called better battery stats. I have to charge my every 10 hours. My phone was in deep sleep for 6hrs or so. My battery drain average is 10.4%/hour. So, please post your battery stats using better battery stats. btw, I'm using stock gb rom with tagb 1.2 hotfix kernel. My battery drains even in deep sleep mode (I guess, I'm not sure) The person who has best stats may tell us some tips.
PS: please download better battery stats app from xda, as the developer provides free version for xda users, but in market its paid app.

Even if we post our battery stat..
The problem lies in

How old is our phone

Applications installed
and everything related..
You cannot compare an apple to a orange.
I think this is very decent battery life (using CM9).

We can't compare everything! We can compare something like which app they use for texting, which are the apps that keep phone awake; what are the alternatives for that app, what are governors people use for normal use! Etc

Depends on your usage. Of course, powersave would be in the running for best battery life, but it would not be ideal if you are a gamer or heavy user. I personally use a governor not available on any of the GB kernels as far as I know (SmartassH3).
Never liked SetCPU. I use No frills; simple UI, allows you to change governor and I/O scheduler, look at some frequency stats, etc.

Is governor suitable for battery saving? I'm a moderate user, I want my phone to sleep like baby, when screen is off and make sure that any app doesn't keeps my phone awake!

SmartassH3 is supposed to be a more battery efficient version of Smartassv2.
I don't think changing your governor will help with sleeping issues. Governors only affect how the CPU ramps up and down. If you have issues with your phone sleeping, then it is most likely one of your apps.
Since you already have BetterBatteryStats, you can easily check partial wakelocks and see if any apps are keeping your phone awake.
I really doubt upgrading the app will change the battery usage of your phone.
If you cared about battery life, being on stock is bad start. Why not use CM7 or CM9?

Just change the rom and Kernel.
You are getting so many bugs and yet you didn't flash new rom.
I recommend that you change roms and see what's best for your phone and your usage.
I'm not sure but the kernel you are using is for gaming I think. ie. More power, less battery.
Anyways here is a battery usage graph :

Need kernel help with Infection 2.9.1

I'm on Infection 2.9.1 and I also flashed the latest Hiro kernel. I downloaded Trickster MOD to change settings. I'm getting a lot of reboots but I'm also trying to save as much battery as possible. I have no idea what settings to mess with and what to change them too. My phone settings had a Performance settings where you can change CPU settings and I also have Trickster like I said, just don't know which to use. I think both are on which might be causing problems? I posted some screenshots, could some please help me get something going? - Thanks guys!

OK I got that part but what settings should I use? I'm not good with kernels and these apps, changing voltages, etc. My phone has been overheating and boot looping a lot. I also want to get best battery life possible. I just don't know what settings to use. Also if I'm using trickster to tweak my CPU shouldn't the performance in my phone settings be shut off? I'm open to using another tuner app.

Make the sleep frequency be 384 (whatever the 300 MHz is) been running that way since launch of 2.9.1, no issues, besides the native tether (only buggy issue I use) and whatever else others reported, I assume. Never used the features that this report so I don't know.

There is an option in kernel tuner for it. Some kernels do not support changing that setting though.
Now that he released it, this is what I used on infection the past week when 2.9.1 came out. It works amazingly. On install it gives you options for sleep 2 wake and screen off frequency (I set mine to on and 384 with no adverse issues)

So this kernel will replace Hiro which I'm using now?
And you keep saying to change sleep freq to 384? I'm guessing that will fix my wake issues. What about fixing my battery life and boot loops?
Sent from my Infected Rezound using Tapatalk 2
Can anyone else chime in? This is what I'm trying to accomplish.
1. Fix boot loops
2. Stop the over heating
3. Make battery last as long as possible
4. Fix the wake up issues. When I press power button to wake phone the capacitive buttons turn on but the screen doesn't.
These are the issues that I'm trying to fix. Like I said I'm currently on infection 2.9.1 using lastest hiro kernel. I need some helping finding the right kernel to use and what settings to use with kernel tuner or trickster mod app doesn't matter.
Sent from my Infected Rezound using Tapatalk 2
That kernel will replace hiro. You can set screen off freq upon flashing in recovery. The below pictures is my current settings for the past week and only had one freeze (it was testing something out for the kernel before released). In the picture, screen off and idle freq are disabled as you change settings when flashing the kernel. (During install, aroma will ask if you want to do default or custom install, custom for more options.) Pictures are in thumb format so less space is used in the forum.

You can change second core to something else. Lionheart is a performance based governor. I use it on second core with mpdecision having a longer wait to turn on core 1 for my personal optimal battery saving/performance. Core 0 is set for power save bias so only when I need speed, core 1 will kick on with some higher MHz while CPU 0 catches up a little later.
Battery savings isn't too great, but unless you are doing some CPU intensive stuff, it does pretty well on battery.
This is CPU times today... Mind you, I used my phone for a total of 4hrs from 530-1640. The reason it stayed at 192 a lot was because I just did texting, web browsing and some other low CPU intensive tasks so far today (about 20-30mins of awake time in 192 was screen off streaming a local radio station.) Ran buttery smooth though.
