Hello,
i have this mobile for about half year, but have there some problems, that i still not able solve.
1) I see problems with lags and unwanted pausing at some games. But still not found why. And how. Because in some games i do not click on pause button, but game when i moving fingers on display randomly go to pause, or go to black screen or stop respond for while. It look as weak procesor, or it is problem of memory? This device have low memory, but i try kill every aplication that i can, but problem still persist. And i have also problem kill some aplications. I kill them and they start again. And not are because because must run.
I also try disable builded antivirus but too without changes.
In some cases mobile start wifi conection or data transfer, that i have set off.
I dont know how i can receive email when i have disabled wifi and data.
And two times mobile send premium sms that i unable control, and not figured in mesages, and not know that i send that kind of sms. I call operator to block all premium numbers to awoid this robbing.
2) android market is extremly chaotic and it look there is security problem - google play. Is posible found most easy way how to block some aplications to accest to sensitive operations? (acces to call, sms, and other services?)
Im thing there is too much many aplications that want baseless access to some services.
3) is possible mount on this phone Windows mobile 6.5? Because that system been most suited for me and in basic have most aplications that i need, and have also a loot prety good games. On android are there minimal.
Or some way to modify rom and kick and kill stupid aplications and system layouts.
Please can somebody good, frienldy help?
thanks.
Still any idea?

That pause problem been in old and in new android is too. But is random, some time often and some time minimaly. I still unable found cause.
Hi Everyone,
Basically, I got my Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0 in January, and when it comes to the features, I have been loving it. This is my first Android device.
However, I have been having problems lately. First, some basic information: it's an 8gb device, and I have a 32gb class 10 microSD card in it. I have a huge number of apps on it (over 200), however, I keep careful tabs on what is running in the background, reporting an app if it runs in the background even when not needed and that will reopen if killed, and if I don't really need it, deleting it after a week. I've only had to do that with a couple of apps so far. As I use this a lot as a PDA (I don't have a phone, this basically covers those bases), I have a couple of things that always run in the background, which I want there (textplus, Linphone, MailDroid, SwipePad). After getting rid of the services that I don't need, I'm still looking at over 100MB free RAM. I'm still on the stock ROM, and I'm using GO launcher Ex. I reboot daily.
My problem is that it crashes often - sometimes daily. Usually, it will go something like this: An application freezes, the whole system becomes unresponsive, and I either have to reboot it by holding down the power button for 8 (?) seconds, or something snags and it reboots by itself. Usually the first sign is that the haptic feedback for the home button comes about a second later after I press it - except then it is almost always too late. The power button will usually turn the screen on or off, but the lockscreen won't appear, I'll see the screen as it was before, frozen. Sometimes, it eventually reboots, while sometimes it doesn't, making me hold down the power button to reboot it, and sometimes, just as it will start "becoming unfrozen" (it goes to the home screen and it starts loading), it will reboot.
It seems to be that after an approximate time of active use, it will crash. Before that, apps can freeze, FC, and within a few seconds, I'll be back on the home screen or in another app, doing something else. After that, on the other hand, it seems to me that whenever an app freezes or has a problem, it basically takes down the whole system with it.
Something tells me that this isn't just normal (otherwise Android wouldn't have over 50% of smart phone market share ), because I haven't heard of problems like this before, and other people with Android I know don't seem to be having the same problems (if any, at all). I have been reading around, and saw some thread about another phone describing similar problems, and it turns out it was a motherboard problem, so the phone was returned for warranty, except I don't remember where that was, I'm just hoping it's something like that...
OK, now that you've read my long post (sorry, I thought it would be best to give more details than get asked about them), I really hope this isn't something normal, because outside of this problem, I'm really enjoying all the possibilities, capabilities and flexibilities of Android (I'm looking at you, iPod). It's really quite aggravating, today I lost my public transit itinerary on Google Maps (I feature I love), and thankfully, I remembered enough to make it through, but it is quite frustrating. Please tell me this is not Android being Android?
Go Launcher is not Officially supported on these devices and swallows the small amount of ram very quickly, I tried it for a day and got rid of it because of how badly it impacted performance.
edit: looks like since I tried it they added support for our players, still won't run it, its to much of a system hog.
I don't know, but I tried switching to the default launcher, and it already crashed earlier than usual. Any other ideas? I'll try some other launchers over the next few days.
Sounds like you are running out of system resources. You say you have a couple hundred apps installed and I bet some of those are becoming active and hogging precious ram and cpu resources in the background until the system crashes. I have a 2 year old Samsung Captivate and I only have minimal amount of apps because it will often big down and become unresponsive and crash. So before you head out to a repair shop, remove some of your many apps and see if that helps.
So, if I understand, even if an app runs in the background for a short period of time, it still consumes resources, even after it's stopped running?

If you have a titanium backup freeze apps that run in backround and see what happens ..when you open programs they will stay in memory so use some memory kill widget to clean memory from time to time.I have a stock rom witch is not very good with memory menagment so sometimes when memory is full it just stop and only help is restarting ..so i use app "quick system info" which give you memory ajd cpy usage displayed in status bar and when memory is close 2 full i just click on that and it kill all other aps except what a use in that moment.

So, basically, the ROM is to blame? As to Titanium backup, I think that needs root, and I'm not quite ready to root yet (I've done enough hacking on my iPod). I do plan on upgrading to android 4.0 eventually (once all the issues get fixed, this is my main device, after all), and I think I'm going to have to root it at that point, but I'll be able to test it on a different ROM then, as well as try freezing apps. For now, I've tried LauncherPro, which seems a lot more lightweight, and it seems to be making it through the day until I reboot, and seems to be very stable... it also loads my widgets lightnight fast, which is great.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the way I understand it is:
obviously there are memory leaks, every OS has that
Android will not kill services, but only programs
If there are places where memory can be freed, Android will do that when necessary
If no memory can be freed, and there is barely any memory left, than a minor FC or a frozen app is all it will need to push Android off the cliff
Is this the way it works? And, then, when I upgrade to 4.0 (CM9), most of those problems should be gone (because of better memory management)?
i have my lenovo p770 and its been a month since i used it,
my problem that ive encounter was when i have a low ram the android cant even kill apps on its own to free ram for the apps the im gonna use. is my device defective? it forces the apps to crash , i asked the same users with me but they dont experience it. theres a solution to my problem, it is to restart the phone. but i dont want to restart it over and over again. i hope somebody can help. i try to search many many times but cant find solution. thx.

my problem is unlike what u can suggest. that android will just free ram when needed to run a certain app. it forces the app to crash and the launcher a lag.here are some picts of it. i reset the phone several times monitoring it. even without games or whatsoever. it keeps increasing constant and hard to decrease it. in a purpose of casual use.
I am trying to reduce my phone boot time and boost performance and battery life and want to better understand how applications manage to load themselves on system boot. I have a lot of apps installed, several hundred; and using the Bootmanager in XPosed as well as the Autostarts App I seemed to be able to turn off most auto running apps, however,
1) Some apps still manage to load and I have not a clue how .. so I will turn the phone on and as soon as the launcher appears go to the settings and apps and see what is running, and processes will appear which I have no desire to be there. For example RocketPlayer manages to load itself even though not a startup app and has no widgets etc. It does have several receivers still active but none of these seem obviously related to system boot.
2) If I look at all the applications that have a receiver hooked up to 'Connectivity Changed' for example .. do they all get run when the connectivity changes, or are they only notified if that application is open at the time?
3) in general is it a bad idea to have lots of apps and better to stick to the minimum of what you use regularly?
4) should one just Greenify all apps not regularly used or essential?
Any help on this subject would be appreciated!
ZTE Blade V8 pro, with snap dragon 625 chips, on its stock rom, no root . I can't find the problem after disabled some items and settings.
Please fill me in on generally where to find those processes or apps kept waking it up. With no root, probably it's hard to find out. I have ES manager installed to kill app free mem. Even sometimes I use it, it didn't solve the problem.
I don't know if that's some certain app or some energy settings I changed before affected it.
