Hello,
i have some problems with my X10. Whenever i start Mediascape and browse some pictures the phone gets slower and slower. Additionally, the battery temperature is going up over time, so that the phone is really warm.
After taking a look into Android System Info and some testing i could determine the cause of this problem.
There are two processes of android.process.acore (package: adw.launcher or go.launcher, see later) that are running with 100% CPU Usage. After killing (restarting) one of both processes the other one disappears, and cpu usage goes back to normal. But if mediascape is launched again, the same issue occurs.
After more testing i found, that this only happens if i use another launcher and not the original one from SE. If i use the SE launcher (and freeze the 3rd-party via titanium) the problem does not occur.
First, i thought that i maybe have killed to much of the bloatware, so i restored the original firmware via SEUS and tried again - with no success, the issue persists furthermore. No original App were removed, and no old configuration was used, only defaults.
My Steps with after restoring the original firmware.
- root with RATC, manually via linux and adb
- entered google account to check in the market
- updated market, facebook, and google maps
- downloaded busybox, xrecovery and titanium backup pro
- installed the jit2-enabler from the forums and enabled it via xrecovery (dalvik cache cleared)
- restored
- clean install of ADW.Launcher
=> testing, problem occurs again (process: android.process.acore with package adw.launcher at 100% after using mediascape)
- removed ADW.Launcher and installed Go! Launcher
=> testing, problem occurs again (process: android.process.acore with package adw.launcher at 100% after using mediascape)
- removed Go! Launcher and proceeded to xda-devs in search for some help
Can this be a issue caused by JIT2 ?
Any ideas, what can i do now ?
I Hate the original launcher, i would like to stay with Go! or ADW. Mediascape can not be uninstalled without problems or loss of functions afaik.
--- sry @mod for posting in wrong forum
no ideas ?
I have the same problem
Any ideas?
You've better wait for a couple of hours or a night coz after finish upgrade the phone, X10 (face recognition service) will try to rescan your sdcard, looking for media file.
Your X10 will have high CPU load, consume a lot of battery and also having slow response during this scan period.
The scan period is depending on number of media files on sdcard and number of pictures in your facebook account.
hi
in my phone, every time I open an app for example Google Maps and then exit this app to home screen, I found that launcher restarts by itself and need 3-4 second to load images in menu.
after I did some search on my phone, I found that maybe because my ram is almost full and maybe not enough free ram because I have a lot off apps installed.
how I can solve this problem?
thanks in advance.

Or try to shift as many apps to sdcard in manage applications tab.
thanks for your replay.
actually, I did that but nothing changed, I am still facing the same problem.
I have an HTC Desire Z, and it's been acting strangely lately. I hear it play the startup sound when it's in my pocket, meaning the phone has crashed when I wasn't even doing anything. I suppose it's time for a hard reset. I'm very reluctant to do this, but when I missed an important call the other day because my "com.htc.phone" (or whatever) application crashed and I didn't notice, that was the last straw.
What is a checklist of things I should do before hard resetting? So far, I've:
1) Backed up SMS
2) Taken screenshots of all my home screens so as to put the icons back in the same place
3) Taken screenshots of the application settings screens so as to install all the same applications again
4) Taken screenshots of some of the other settings screens, so as to use the same ringtone, background, SMS beep, etc.
What are some other steps I should take? I'm scared that I won't get my phone set up the same way again. My phone is great right now, it's just how I like it - except for the crashes.
Is your phone rooted? If so, TitaniumBackup (TB) would be all you need. You can get TitaniumBackup, free and paid, from the market. TB can backup your screen settings according to the launcher apps. For example, I use Go Launcher and when I do a full backup of Go Launcher, it will backup icons positions and everything else that I have changed in Go Launcher.
It may not be necessary to reset your whole device if your just getting one or two processes force closing themselves. The first thing to check is see if you have installed an app that might be conflicting with system apps (try and remember the last time it was working correctly and uninstall apps that you've installed since then).
If this isn't the issue you can also try to wipe app data/cache for the app in question. I hope this makes sense

Well, I'm not really sure what's causing the problem. My phone came installed with crapware, and lately I've found software installing itself on my phone without my knowledge. I know for a fact the "QQ Security" crapware the phone came with did indeed prevent my phone from functioning correctly.
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)?
1.I have a Galaxy S3 has been over two months. Bought it in a store in Israel and got VODAFONE company's rom and i still with that rom and I updated to the version added the app flipboard and the option to change the brightness from the notification. I use Samsung's TOUCHWIZ After trying the apex launcher and the nova prime but all have the same problem including in TOUCHWIZ: When I go into applications and games and applications have an issue where files and applications, including all menu takes a long time to recharge. I realized that the problem call redraw could not find a solution. I read the weather widget Samsung's causing the problem and removed it and the problem a little better but still not quite.
Is there something completely solve the problem? My version now is I9300BULG2.
2. When will i get the Jelly bean update? I don't want to change my rom or to do root.
3. When I recharging phone in battery settings I noticed that phone battery charging is via USB. Is this normal?
4.I did updates for some applications in the play store and when I tried to install them I had a message there is not enough storage space available and even though I used 10.86 GB of 11.35 GB and I have a 8GB memory card. What should I do?
5. I downloaded some software from the samsung apps store and after I tried to install there was a message that the installation failed. Is it because I do not have enough space?
Thank you !
