So i got my 16gigger in the mail. Popped it in... and "ADB install -s *.apk" through a .bat. so it installed ~600 things (took forever).
Sense crashes like every minute... I can get it to run after WAITING for ever.
I'm slowly uninstalling things I don't want. I did this a first time and same thing. I RUU'd after and cleared SD...
Second time same thing. I'm writing this thread for ideas on finding the culprit. LP+ runs smooth, but after the system is OOM,
it pretty much panics and shuts down the launcher. I even have the keep in memory on in LP+.
Shutting down the launcher causes the phone to precache again and gotta wait. I thought
the stock Task Manager was doing something for the OutOfMemory, so I froze that ***** haha... Didn't do squat but FC when
I click it lol. Still get the crappyness. Don't flame about having 1000000 apps or w/e it may be. We are here to get this resolved...
Because it should work fine. Been thinkin of running a logcat and maybe find something too lazy tho.
I'm also pretttty sure that the stock kernel is messing things up;
*Class 10 card (legit on USB adapter tests, and EVO 4G on custom rom/kernel).
*Benches on 3D ~5-10MB/s, it should ALWAYS sustain at LEAST 10MB/s.
*Will not write at 10/MBs (Phone USB to PC)
If the card is laggin the phone will lag due to the apps. I tried the dual mount apps like we
used to have to use on CM7 due to kernel issue. Still slow. Also tweaked the ATU size on SD...
So... Here are the things that I will try and give feedback. Then you guys can give ideas.
*Gonna run a logcat.
*Perhaps use an ext partition (not what i did i know) but really? Necessary?
*I would like to change the OOM settings like zeppelinrox's script does (need S-OFF for it though)XDA Thread Link. It's called V6 Supercharger.. If anyone knows how we could alter this PLEASE help.
I think your problem IS too much crap. Not flaming you but did you really need 3 gigs of apps? Ruu and try to install everything 1 by 1.

No.... Its not internal... On remove SD it works fine... No need to reset.
Not an optoin. This phone has no reason to do that. This should be a bug to HTC.

Oh when you unmount your sdcard your phone is pretty much snappy again but when it's mounted its lagging?!?!
I want to troll this thread so bad...
...but I also would like some answers. If the phone is fine when the SDcard isn't mounted, wtf?
Now, if you didn't format to ext2 what format is it? FAT32? Could the file allocation table be screwing things up? On FAT partitions you don't have to worry about just the file size but also the size of the allocation of each file. Every file, regardless of how big the data itself is, have a minimum size for the allocation. If you have a bazillion tiny files you will lose a ton of space to the allocation table...is Android trying to come to terms with this?
Only thing I can think of...

How would you go about formatting to ext2 or ext3 for apps2sd? I've only known to do it in recovery through root.

i would be curious to see how many apps you can install on there PROPERLY as well, keyword: PROPERLY
ruu and do them all again one by one, PROPERLY from the phone, not ADB straight to the SD card.

card reader?
I may be wrong but my understanding is that even though the apps are on SD, there is a portion that runs on the internal memory (dalvik). With 3Gigs of programs, maybe the OS is spending alot of time continually trying to allocate space thus causing problems?

Nice animation, and I just happened to have the perfect mp3 for it. I had the THX Fox Intro mp3 downloaded already, so here is your boot animation with the audio:

most likely i'll do some more work. my phone took a dive in the pool over the weekend, so i'm letting it "air out" a bit before i put the battery back in it. pretty sure it's hosed, but we'll see.
if i have in fact trashed my phone, i'll probably hit someone up for some testing.

Hello,
I have been using my HTC Evo 3D for sometime now and have recently noticed a strange app thing in my app list which i did not install and the worst thing is that i can't uninstall it. I am attaching a couple of screen shots of the app below. I will be thankful to the kind soul who'll help me solve this problem. The app is named " *116# " and if i click on it...it says USSD code running and then gives me a message "Service is currently unavailable GW1".
*i have tried factory resetting and formatting my SD card.
*my phone is not rooted.
*It doesn't appear in the running applications, just the applications list
*HELP!

That's strange. I tried to google it and found nothing. Did it just show up or did you JUST notice it? What country/carrier do you have? Could you give us as much info as possible?
"We're coming from a pure power source."
Are you on a GSM 3d or Sprint? If Sprint, this is not a "factory" system app so it should NOT be there and may be a root kit/virus. If you're not rooted, you will have to root to be able to remove it via root explorer. Probably be in system/app since you say it's uninstallable. If you're on a GSM phone I have no idea whether it's supposed to be there or not....so I won't advise whether to remove or not. Good luck.

Well i have to be honest that i did notice it a week back but i didn't pay much attention to it. Today as i looked at it i tried to see what it was and then hit a dead end.

Maybe its a carrier installed app. Can you contact Ufone and ask about it?

Your phone has the herps bud. Were you in Vegas recently?
On a more serious note, the description says it has access to "Services which cost you money" which could potentially access financial information stored on your phone.
If you are adamant about not rooting it then you should have nothing to fear about taking it in and letting the service technicians remove it for you at your cell phone provider's store front. If they can't remove it I would ask for a new device. It never hurts to ask.

On a more serious note, it says it has full access to communications meaning someone can hijack you and call all over the world with your number and leave you the bill.
I'd swap that phone out ASAP and make sure you are only downloading from a the Play Store and not off some website to save a buck for an ad-free angry birds....
I agree with PMG, both scenarios are bad, get tech support in person from the provider and have them take care if it.

My new Samsung 32gb class 10 MicroSD just got here today. I copied my files from my ol' 8gb that came with my Evo4g (Supersonic) to my computer, and now I'm transferring those files to my card through USB mode on my phone. The problem is that it's writing at 900 KB/s - 1MB/s and my plan was to put roughly 25GB of music on this card.
I bought the card through Amazon (not from one of their stores, but directly from Amazon). I tested the card twice with SDTools and get 8.8-ishMB/s write and 17-ishMB/s read average. This is what I expect from a class 10. Why am I getting such slow speeds?

I'm not sure how to read the card info. Some of it doesn't really look right like "00000" for the name of the card, etc, but I've never used the app before so it's hard for me to say.
I'm going to try putting it in the included adapter and transfering stuff while it's hooked directly to my computer and see if that makes a difference. I guess my phone could be the bottleneck, but my class 2 8gb used to write at 2MB/s just fine - so I don't really have high hopes for the test.
Any help would be appreciated, quick replies would be VERY appreciated. I'm gonna try the above test now, and I'll be checking this thread for the next couple hours.
Thanks in advance.
Extra info - I'm rooted running JMZs unofficial CM9 so I'm on ICS
Update: I plugged it in through a USB card reader and about two minutes later it came up with a "You must format this card before you use it" warning (I already formatted it to FAT32 with 64mb). I clicked "format" and it came up with the windows format screen saying it didn't know the size of the card, and wouldn't let me choose FAT32 as an option, only FAT.
I'm going to guess this means I've got a fake card...?
Update 2: I tried to use HtestW2 but for it to test the 29GB it would take over 8 hours at 1MB/s... I'm not sure if I even want to go through that...
I just bought a 64gb class 10 from amazon hope its good I should get it tomorrow and I'll see and report how it does
Sent from deep below the earth on a Paranoid E4GT
Well I've tried the few workarounds I've found online (A lot of people seem to have the problem, but not as severe as me, and no one knows how to fix it?) but now my transfer speeds are going even slower... I just don't understand.
I guess it may be a problem with CM9? I'm now trying to find a non-CM based ROM that's still being developed to put on my Evo... If anyone has any good suggestions I'm open to them. I'm trying out AOKP build 33 now as that's the latest GOO has (minus Milestone 6 which as far as I'm aware isn't actually made for my phone?)
EDIT: On AOKPb33 and I get a whole 1.5MB/s now! woot... I've got a class two card?! Ugh...
UPDATE: interesting discovery - If I go into recovery mode and enable USB MS I get speeds around 5MB/s
I finally got the darn card to work on the phone. I had to reformat as fat32 using a different software on PC and made sure the partition was set as primary and not as logic. Haven't really tested but will soon.

I replaced the Samsung with a Sandisk class 10 32GB and it's still running at the same speeds (if not a little slower)...
I'm not too sure what to do. I've tried a LOT, but the only small boost in speed comes from mounting to USB through recovery mode which gives me 2-8MB/s depending on how my phone feels like performing it seems...

Mine was just writing between 5mb and 11mb/s then stopped transferring for a couple minutes then restarted now im getting 600-999kb/s Did my card just fail ?
Within the last week I have been experiencing major battery drain from 'sdcard' for no reason. Here is a screenshot of my phone last night which shows 'sdcard' as the largest battery drain '29%' over a total off charger time of nearly 14 hours. The 'sdcard' details claim that the uptime for the 'sdcard' is only a mere 45 minutes. This means that in 45 minutes the 'sdcard' was able to drain 25% of a full 3100mAh battery! I barely used my phone all day and yet the 'sdcard' issue occurs on its own. I decided to try to not touch my phone today / use any apps and the same exact issue happened. The 'sdcard' accounts for around 30% of battery drain and the total up time is exactly the same 45 minutes again. Here is tonight's screenshot.
I am running Verizon Galaxy Note 2 with 4.1.1 stock (turned down the recent OTA) with only root access, no unlocked bootloader or custom ROM installed.
How many other Galaxy users out there are experiencing this issue? Any current workarounds besides the factory reset, card wipe & reformatting?
I have been having great battery life since I got the phone in early December and now have my battery draining about 30% faster than normal. What happened?
I think its something you installed disguised as "sd card." Sd card doesnt even show up when I look at my battery.

Absolutely nothing new installed. And what is installed is all legitimate applications.
Have you installed BetterBatteryStats?
That will give you a more complete picture of what is keeping the phone awake, etc.
Do you have any sync services turned on?
What about downloads that are trying to complete?
Have you checked to see if you are burning data?
Yeah I have never even seen sd card in my battery list.
Install better battery stats and track it down.
Will be interesting to see what that turns out to be.
I have a feeling your sd card is probably having issues. That's the only way I can see that coming up in your battery stats if you haven't installed anything. Take your sd card out for a day and see how it performs without it.
Interested to hear a few more details. I have loved every second with this phone until about the last 3 or 4 days. I have experienced multiple reboots along with pulling my phone out of my pocket only to find it off, with only a battery pull being able to get it to reboot. The phone also seems sluggiah at times. Which is not normal for this phone. Praying its not SDS.

The SD card is one of those 64GB class 10 nice ones that I would not expect to fail. I will try reformatting / wiping it after I try the battery app.

I loved the phone too, but I am also experiencing a bit of sluggishness from time to time. I also found a bizarre bug where I cannot manually turn off driving mode so I am forced to run S-Voice 24/7 in order to tell it to turn off driving mode. If i do not use S-Voice to turn it off I have difficulty using speakerphone while making calls or hearing people when they call me. Also the alarm clock shutting itself off after a few rings is a major annoyance. I cannot rely on the phone to wake me up as it just decides to shut the alarm off after 30 seconds or so. I am still trying to love it but keep running into issues. I am contemplating selling it and getting the next galaxy for the better screen.
Thanks for all the input I will try to reply back to here with some updates!
I bet your sdcard is crap. Back it up, reformat, see if problem goes away.

This...that would be my first step. I've had strange behavior with a bad sd card before....though, never had battery drain from it.

If it's a class 1-2 and the gallery keeps running media scan, that could be a cause. Actually, I bet that's where all the drain is - media scan, but that could affect any class of card.

That actually makes sense. I think step one is backup, reformat, and restore. If that doesn't help, try a different card or without a card at all. If it still is doing it after all this, then it's a software issue.

Wow get this,
I removed my SDCard and rebooted and guess what shows up under battery drain still.
SDCARD!
This is reallllllllly bizzare. It makes me think 100% that it is a software bug.
The battery drain it is pulling is over 40% at the moment!

Any clue what this means? The app is not very user friendly.
Heh, actually, now that I think about it, stock rom would consider the internal storage the sdcard. I'd try a factory reset an hope whatever is wrong there is fixed.

Should I do the factory reset through the menu or through android recovery? Never tried doing the one through the settings menu.
Will this bring back the the NFL and other bloatware apps that I used root to remove? I want it like fresh out of the box new if possible.
Also does it matter that I am rooted? Root only no unlocked bootloader.
I sound like a noob but I have never done this with stock I used to run custom ROM's 24/7 for 3 years(droid incredible) and just want to make sure things still operate the way I think they do! :good:
Thanks!
*now it is saying I have voicemails when I have no new voicemails! The device is getting rediculously buggy it seems like*

I would do the factory reset from recovery just to be safe. And that bloat you removed should stay gone. It can't magically put stuff back into /system. All a factory reset does is wipe the /data partition, wipe your /cache partition, and erase the /sdcard/android_secure. Backup your sdcard and format that at the same time. I would verify you have your device backed up to google too so when you boot up and sign back into your google account it should download some settings and apps back automatically.
Edit: I do not have this device, so you may want to have someone else verify this. But I see no reason any of my advice could harm your device.

Thanks for the input. I found the get back to out of box stock guide in another post so I am going to go that route I guess. I am concerned there is something wrong with the internals of my device and want to verify it before I go trying to get a return.
I have a huge list of bugs I have encountered while on the stock software and I want to see if they pop up again after hard hard flash reset.
What does the partial wakelocks show?

No. 1 - This WILL start a war, not because I want one, but because 90% of sheeple don't believe my 15+ phones of proven testing.
No. 2 - I am trying to HELP SOLVE your problem, so arguing about not doing this and still having drain is your fault. I am not saying this is your problem to a 'T'' but more than likely is.
No. 3 - I am not responsible for your Nexus 6P (or other phones) becoming a tomato from you doing something wrong. This is very simple and I have NEVER had a problem, but what you do to your phone is your responsibility, I did not hold you against your will through the bits of the internet.
Little backstory...I AM the Tech Guru for my family, and we have a large one that surrounds us within an hour, so we have a lot of get togethers.
Most of my family who has gotten to know me in the past 7 years has understood that iPhones are not welcome and usually end up switching to Android just because if they need help I usually have the answer. Anything from Windows to the wiring in peoples cars, I have worked on. Computers are a big thing with my family and their friends and I just want to share something I have noticed over the years that basically happens 100% of the time with their Phones.
People on XDA will think I am a little overzealous when it comes to flashing my phone. But when I do, I back up only the bare essentials, mainly pictures in my case to a PC. I then make sure my PC is ready for a clean download and run ccleaner and trim the computer (I run SSD's) and download my rom and gapps of choice. I use Pure Nexus and Dirty Unicorns mainly with a strong learn towards PN.
I then transfer the two zips to a FRESHLY formatted USB drive (I use a 8GB Silicon Power USB 3.0, they have their own format utility and a lifetime warranty so format away!) and OTG cable (I use the Ravpower cable Benson Approved). I then boot into TWRP's Latest recovery which is 3.0.1-0 at the time of this writing and do the following. in pressing sequence.
Wipe - Format Data - yes blue check - back - advanced wipe - Check Dalvik/system/Data/internal/Cache - swipe to wipe - home
*Sometimes I will resize and repair system, data, and cache just for giggles, then rewipe everything for extra added measure*
My device is fully wiped, everything's gone and ready to flash. I then connect my 8gb Flash drive to the OTG cable then into the nexus and hit my rom zip to flash and flash it, then my gapps zip I want and flash it. then I hit home, reboot, and POWER OFF. I always give the phone a good 2-3 minutes to cool down from flashing and just give the phone a break. And yes, I flash my rom and gapps seperately, I do not add zips. I find it fun to flash so why not take extra steps!
This is the SAME way I flash phones on the following phone, ahem...Nexus 6P, two Nexus 6, four (yes four) Lg G3 Verizon, Moto G, two Nexus 7 2012, Galaxy S3, Tmobile S6 Edge, two Droid Trubo's, two Moto X Pure's, Droid Razr maxx HD ...you get the point, more than 15 actually... and if you think I am bluffing I will try to take a picture if I can get everyone to boot into twrp and lay them in a row. We're an android fri
One thing I have noticed after flashing allll of these phones is the ONLY time anyones has a battery drain issue is when the phone has not been completely wiped OR, and yes I said OR...they are using a Micro SD card from another phone. I'm not saying I haven't seen them. My girlfriends G3 was working great with her SD card UNTIL she decided that she didnt want to have about 200 pictures on there anymore. She didnt reboot her phone for about 2 days and then she bring it up to me saying her phone died quickly that day, I asked her what has she done recently that she never does, new appssss....different charggeeerrrsss...you know anything. she thought for a second ( I flash her phone so I know she didn't flash anything wrong), she then tells me she deleted some pictures and a few videos the other day, I then asked her if she deleted them from the SD or internal, and she said SD. I was like cool, turned off her phone, removed her SD, threw it into my PC, copied her files over, opened up SD Formatter, formatted her card, then slapped it back into her phone and connected her phone to the pc and copied the pictures she wanted back, which was like a WHOPPING 6. no joke, shes very low maintenance it's the best.
But ever since then no media scanning/server/ whatever you want to call it since.
Call me crazy, but I am very observant.
So you probably didn't read all this, I didn't expect you too, I made it long and annoying because this problem has drawn out over the years for FAR too long and has become FAR too annoying.
Most will argue, YOU WANT ME TO WIPE MY PICTURES AND ALL MY APPS OFF MY DEVICE? WHY WOULD I DO THAT JUST TO FLASH A ROM?!?! THAT'S ANARCHY! EVERYONE GRAB YOUR TORCHES AND PITCH FORKS!!!
Like I said...I back stuff up to a COMPUTER first, and if you don't want to? Then don't! But don't ask why your scanner is eating battery when this is here telling you of all the phones I work on THAT battery drain doesn't exist unless they didn't follower a scenario.
Etc - On a side note, to safe guard your phone from flashing woes I recommend the following. BACKING up your EFS partition before you do ANY flashing and back it up to a SAFE location, External Hard Drive, that USB you only use to keep your Ex Wife's picture's on, wherever. I have seen people lose their IMEI but I have never done it personally, but after the horror shows, I make people safeguard their precious phone code. One can do this EASILY by the following!
Boot into TWRP, press back up, then uncheck everything on this list until EFS, check that one and swipe to backup. That's it.
If you lose you IMEI, and don't have a EFS backup, you are screwed. Asking XDA for a backup of the EFS partition is against the rules and you will not find help from the community and will need to send your phone in for repairs.
Etc 2 - If you are not one to regularly clean and Defrag your HDD(Mac/Linux not included), I highly recommend so. Sometimes roms aren't bad downloads, but bad file's allocated to a broken disk file structure, after I have upgraded to SSD's a few years back, I always cleaned and defragged my disk before a rom download and I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS FOR YOUR PHONES SAFETY but I don't check MD5 sums. I turst my clean drives to do their job and for the past few years I have had great success.
If you are interested in upgrading to a SSD which I highly recommend, this can be done very easily and cheap nowadays! PNY sells a very fast and so far reliable SSD on amazon for $40 for a 120gb and 60 for a 240gb! Very fast I/O and 550MBPs read and 520MBPs write!
Be sure to blow up this thread and tell me why I am wrong, or why you refuse to wipe internal. Your stubborn mistake is easily fixed.
Thanks friends and for those of you this helps let me know!:victory: and as always, HAPPY FLASHING!
Got lost in all the words because I have A.D.D. However I have solved this wakelock by removing corrupted files from my internal storage.
TL;DR. To much family background

Had you not approached this in an instigating fashion, I would not be here right now.
But as you worded this to entice trolls, flames and other dramatic posts, I'm going to stop this before it escalates.
Next time just post your method and save the dramatics. :good:
