[Q] screen is shaking while draging finger - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

im running right now rootbox 2.5 jellybean with siyah kernel
ex tweaks settings
1200 smooth scaling level
1.4 GHz max scaling cpu freq
and minimum freq scaling in 200MHz
conservative governor
and cfq
hotplug (default)
...................................
problem.
when i drag my finger on the screen sometimes it is as smooth as it should be... no lag at all. but there are times when the screen shakes when i drag my finger om the screen. u can see that the texts is shaking as i drag the finger.
it comes like in waves. aa bit shaky.. then a bit very smooth a bit shaky and smooth... and so on it goes. i wonder why... is any one knows please share think it could help others too
is it anything that can be fixed or not ? or anything i can do to improve the smoothness ? thanks

Same here!

I think its probably because your phone was running out of RAM. Yes! JB has memory leak issues. To confirm this, please use any Ram widget to monitor your Ram usage especially when the issue reoccur
When your phone runs out of RAM, everything will hyper-lag.
Also, Did you guys change any settings in extweaks?

This is a known bug in the Siyah Kernel, it was fixed in Siyah 4.1.4 but it is now back.
Does it only happen when phone is charging? Mine is fine unless my phone is on charge and then it is very shakey.
You could revert back to version 4.1.4 if it bothers you untill bug is fixed

JB Roms doesn't support HW composer(which is responsible for hardware graphics acceleration in menus), and won't support it until Samsung releases official JB ROM

i am om 4.1.4 due to 4.1.5 gave me lag when phone wakes up.
yea it lags most when the charger is plugged in.
but it is the same on any ics roms also.. but on ics it is even more shakylags.
i have never tried a ram manager but maybe i should
EDIT : conservative governor is the one that i feel is the smoothest on my phone!

Look at the paper guide you got with phone - at "Charging battery" section there's information "During charging process touchscreen can function improperly" (or similar, I'm just translating from my language).

I have already fixed the problem on my LG O3D. I was using my old charger that came with smaller LG phone I dont remember name but it doesnt even had android in it. With that charger my screen was shaking. But when I started Using charger that came with my O3D it worked smooth. And of course problem appeared only while charging so if your phone does that while discharging too, this probably will not help.

[Q] Over Clocking Kernels

Samsung Fascinate CDMA
Rooted MIUI 1.9.16
Did a brief search here looking to understand how to operate overclocking kernals, but find it/me relatively limited.
I have installed and ran Glitch v11 and v12, played around with HL to LL, and made adjustments to undervoltage utilizing Pimp My CPU and Voltage Control. I have also ran Tweak (though not really a kernal).
My question is this,
am I overclocking when I reduce voltage on Mhz's above 1,000?
If not, could someone point me to, or explain how to achieve overclocking on our phones, and
which kernel and governor do you prefer for overclocking?
As an ammended note, I've installed Tegrak Overclock, but am still looking for a user guide...
Thank you for your time.
If you're the running the glitch kernel...use voltage control, not tegrak overclock...over clocking is when you turn the CPU speed above its normal speed..anything over 1GHz.
under volting is when you turn down the voltage frequency to achieve better battery life...
Any one clock speed may perform more or less stable with different under volting unfortunately all of our phones will vary in performance so one setting that works for one may not be the best for another so experimentation is really the best option...this applies for schedulers and governors as well.
I personally overclock as high as I can until it freezes or crashes..then I go 1 setting down...I then try undervolting different steps observing the stability of my phone...when I find what I like,I run it for a few days, then if its still nice and stable I will apply on boot.
The different leakage values are affected by the hardware quality of the chips in our phones which also vary..I start with high and see how high I can overclock..note the setting, then try medium..see how high I can overclock and so on...just as a reference..high leakage creates the most heat and is the least efficient, but works for most phones, while low leakage is the most efficient and generates the least heat and will work with not as many phones

Efan450,
Thanks.
How do you over-clock using Glitch and Voltage Control? I see that Voltage Control goes up to 1,300Mhz, but it's at 0 above 1,000Mhz and can be dropped down to -200mV. Is overclocking just the process of decreasing that voltage on Mhz's above 1,000Mhz's

come on man.. Clock speed (mhz) and undervolting are 2 completely different things.. Forget the voltage.. No changing the voltage is NOT overclocking.. You overclock by changing your maximum clock above 1000mhz which is stock for this phone.. Try long pressing 1200mhz and selecting set as max.. Now your overclocked to 1200mhz..
Sent from the fascinate that holds the record benchmark on antutu
No decreasing the voltage is simply undervolting whether it's over 1000 or under. The idea behind undervolting is increasing battery life, but you can't necessarily go and set each level to the maximum undervolt (200) you half to see what works. Increasing the processor speed is overclocking, stock speed is 1000 so anything over that is over clocked. As far as how far as how far you can over clock depends mostly on 2 things, 1. the kernel your using, ( for example if it shows 1300 in the list that means thats all that specific kernel supports) 2. It varys greatly between phones. For example with glitch you can overclock to 1700 but very few phones can run that high for longer than a few minutes!
Hope that helps.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using xda premium
Yes.. And the fact you say your running glitch and your max oc is only 1300 my guess is you broke your kernel with tegrak overclocks module.. Delete tegrak and stop downloading overclock apps. or any other root app unless you know fully the consequences first.. If after deleting tegrak, and rebooting, if your voltage control don't show a maximum clock of 1700 mhz, then you will need to reflash your glitch kernel

Neh4pres,
Yeah, I kind of feel like a heel. For some reason, I had a brain fart when looking in the 'General' section of Voltage Control. I see now how to overclock.
Regarding ost #6:
When I flashed MIUI 1.9.16, I did not install any kernel; so it was kind of a half truth in that while running 1.9.9 I did have Glitch installd. Nevertheless, I still have Voltage Control installed.
mkropf,
I see that now, and thought as such earlier, but needed some clarification.
Having so many issues with Glitch and 1.9.9, I'm hesitant to install Glitch, but interested to see if it runs better on the newer MIUI...
Thank you two for answering my newbie questions.

Landscape
Re-installed Glitch v12 ML last night and have it overclocked @ 1,200 with no under-voltage...yet. Want to see any adverse effects.
I started at 1,300 and it locked up then rebooted within 5 minutes.
A concern I have is that now my phone will not Auto Rotate to Landscape even though I have Auto-Rotate 'on' in Settings.
I've scoured Sixstrings Glitch thread to no avail. Though it's not needed anymore, I also flashed the cleaning script just to see if it would make a difference.
Is there a work around or fix for this?
Make sure you're on the latest 9/15 version of the kernel. Anything before that will kill all of your phone's sensors.

That was it. I had re-installed the older Glitch v12 that was already on my PC. Deleted them and downloaded the newer Glitch kernels to experiment with.

Yeah, locking and rebooting was while using the older version of Glitch v12. With the 9/15 dated Glitch I'm at 1300 now with the following settings:
Deadline / ondemand
200 - 1300
1300 -25
1200 -25
1000 -50
800 -50
400 -75
200 -75
1.2GHz is the best I say if you want good battery with a higher frequency. 1.4GHz is the best for anyone who uses their phone alot. Samsung did add 1.2GHz overclock in their source.

Back to running MIUI without Glitch.
Things that make you go, Hmmm?
For some reason, every time I accessed the keyboard for Google+, it hung, then froze, and 3 of the four times rebooted. The fourth time I needed to remove the battery to reboot. So I re-flashed MIUI 1.9.16 (effectively removing Glitch) and have 0 problems.
Bummer, I like Glitch too.
I'm in the same boat, however they redone the latest glitch merge and posted it last night so I'm thinking we'll be back in good times

You wouldn't want to use my voltages, I put everything way lower than anybody else does or recommends and am just lucky that it is stable for me but it causes the sleep of death for anyone else.
For comparison, just run JT's kernel for a bit and then flash glitch and try it... once you play with OC/UV and voodoo color you won't be able to go back. (you'll be able to but you'd have to be insane.)

Icecream Sunday Final + Lag

I installed Icecream Sunday Final (very nice rom btw), but the phone lags often. For example, when I unlock it, it can be frustratingly long to be able to launch any applications right away. There is always at least 100mb of ram free, so I am not sure what causes this.
Does anyone have any advice? Has this happened to any other ICS users?
Are you using an OC Kernel?
If so, I read around here on the forums that you should increase your minimum CPU speed a bit and that should clear up the lag when unlocking the phone. Haven't tried it myself since I am running theMyth - ICS Lite, but am going to go back to Cyanogenmod (once of the things that peeved me on Cyanogen was exactly this; lag after unlock).
Hope this helps

hi you have to flash a kernel (you ll find all the information needed in the ic sunday topic)
i did do that and its far better
Either you set your min. frequenzy to 245Mhz or just use smartass gov. @ 122Mhz. I prefer smartass @ 122Mhz and there no lag.
PS: I´m using the same rom but with SlaidFastMod V2
I'm having wake-up lag too! But I already gave up thinking that the SGA's CPU just sucks. Thanks for this info GerasVille, I did not think to tinker with the System settings of CyanoGen because of the "Dragons Ahead" prompt. I will try this smartass setting to see if the wake-up lag will be removed. It sucks when I have to send an emergency SMS and my phone is lagging like hell.
Anyway so let me get this straight. Does having the minimum CPU clocked at 122mhz mean that if the device is inactive, it dynamically clocks down the CPU to 122mhz to save battery? Hence the wake-up lag is caused by the CPU being clocked back up?
I'm also gonna try out slaidfastmod to see if it makes it even better.
You can put up with the lag and save a tiny bit of battery life, or speed up the CPU and lose some battery life. Whichever you feel is more useful. Personally I don't mind the small unlock delay. Happens on most phones low powered anyway.

I installed SlaidFastMod v2, set governor to Smartass and min CPU frequency to 245 MHz and this fixed the issue! It's much smoother when unlocking.
Is it safe to tick the "Set on boot" setting for CPU settings?

[Kernel]Unsecured, OverClocked, SmartAssV2, and Voltage Control[New Links 01.27.12]

Okay, I looked at what ziggy and cron247 did over on XDA and tried to make it better.
This kernel is unsecured, meaning adb connects with root.
It OverClock's up to 1.836MHz.
It has the SmartAss V2 governor.
It uses my ramdisk, not the one you have. I cannot forsee this being an issue. If it becomes one, let me know.
Updates:
Version 1.1.3 changes the version of lagfree, the old one was having issues. Also removes forcing the second CPU to be online which was causing choppiness.
Version 1.1.2 adds increased read ahead, writeback tweaks, decreased dirty ratio settings, simple I/O scheduler, and the lagfree governor.
Version 1.0.5 adds mpdecision fix by Mr X, thank you whoever you are, if you removed mpdecision, put it back. Also added voltage control for you UV lovers.
The only control program I have tested to work is AnTuTu CPU Master (Free), I have had issues with SetCPU and a few others. This one does speed, governor, and voltage all very well.
Get it here: AnTuTu CPU Master (Free)
The following problems seem to be fixed at this point: governor and speed settings not sticking, smartass staying at top speed, random reboots or bootloops overnight.
READ THE INSTRUCTIONS, THIS IS A SINGLE FILE
To install this kernel:
Copy the file to the root of your SDcard.
Reboot into recovery (CWR or AmonRa).
Flash the file from the SDcard.
At the end of the flash the phone will reboot to fastboot.
Once fastboot loads, tap PWR to get to HBOOT.
HBOOT will find the update and ask you to install.
Tap Vol Up to begin the install.
When it finishes it will say tap PWR to reboot. Do it.
After the phone boots remove the PH98IMG.zip file from your SDcard.
Use AnTuTu CPU Master (Free) to set min/max/gov/voltage.
Enjoy!
Thanks to ziggy and con247 for getting us started and having stuff out there for me to get ideas from.

My favorite Rezound kernel so far. Haven't had one crash, even at max OC. Thanks so much guys at BAMF!
This kernel has been good to me too.
I just wish I could get a handle on thie weird issue. Any of these other than stock kernels seem to have the minimum cpu speed jump up to the max cpu speed, then back down constantly, and I cant figure out the deal.
I can check on mine periodically and my min says 192, than a couple seconds later it says its the same as my max. Ugh.

I also had a problem yesterday morning where my phone locked up when my alarm clock went off - forcing me to pull the battery to turn the sound off - not sure if that's kernel or ROM related (running CleanROM 1.5)

It's kernel related; I'm running rezrom and had the same exact issue with my alarm running this kernel.
Do you think ziggys is more stable?.. or do I just need to find the right overclock/underclock settings?
I seem to recall seeing them have that problem on ziggy's - but I never had that problem on earlier versions of dsb's - so maybe it's just something that is fixable for the next release
*wanders off to test it again*
This is no doubt me doing things wrong that led to this, but I downloaded the kernel through the phone browser, then flashed it from the download directory on the internal SD. When I flashed Incredikernel from there it copied the PH98 to the sdcard, but no dice on this kernel until I copied it to the sdcard then flashed it.
I probably should have copied it to the sd card myself first anyway, but I figured I would let you know!
Well this morning - my alarm clock went off - I was able to snooze it - and then a few minutes later the phone went in to boot loops - had been running stable all weekend - once I pulled the battery the phone booted back up just fine.
we'll see if it repeats this behavior tomorrow morning or not...
Call recording support in the kernel?

Nope, only Ziggy's kernel currently supports this.
I only set one alarm at a time usually, but I have one set to go off every morning at 7:30 & it has worked perfectly everyday for a few weeks now.

My default setting is 384 - 1512. I have a charging profile that OC's slightly to 1620. I also have profiles for a hot battery (which I have never had) and power under 20% which UC to 1296 and 1060 respectively. I use sio for scheduler (although that tends not to stick). My minimum UC is 384, nothing lower (I've read of bootloop issues with lower frequencies on the Incredible).
I undervolt everything from 384 to 1404 by -50; and 1512 by 25. Everything else is default.
I have never had a crash or reboot with this kernel on stock ROM.

Decent. I can get 10 solid hours or more of moderate use when I cannot be near a charger. I can stretch it further by turning off LTE and background data. Heavy data use tends to be the biggest killer. I keep my display at 30%, too, and use smartass v.2 as default.

I wonder what is causing all these boot loops for us all. Do you guys think it's the voltage? Perhaps the software?

Good question. I haven't had a single bootloop since flashing this kernel after coming from Ziggy's. Been running this 192min/183max and UV'd -75 across the board and running great.
Hopefully I don't jinx myself.
Guys with bootloops/lockups...are you running any profiles?
Make sure you do a dalvik cache wipe....
Ziggy's would always lock up on me (multiple times per day) so I gave up on it. The only problem I have with this on (and this was a problem with Ziggy's too) is the min jumping to max.
My frequencies bounce on this kernel. It spends about equal time between the highest setting, and lowest setting. It works great other than that. My question is this bad for my CPU? I get great battery life, and performance, just scared the bouncing could be bad for the processor. Any help would be great.....

CPU Throttling to 1Ghz

Hello all
I have a bit of a small problem. I like to run my phone using the Performance Governor but after a while it goes to 1Ghz on all 4 cores despite me running it at 1.8Ghz. Setting it back seems to correct the issue but in time it goes down again.
I believe it is getting a bit warm and thus it hits a limit and the system auto slows to 1Ghz.
Can anyone confirm this behaviour? It never happened to me before but I have had a few kernel updates and updates to the Omega ROM that could be the cause but I am not sure. Is there a setting where I can tell my phone what temps to throttle at?
Also, I assume all this is down to the Kernel and not the ROMs?
Would like some imput regards where to start my search to return my phone to its previous state as a pocket heater.
Many Thanks
Syl

Don't use it. Pegasusq is the only one really working for multi-core CPU's with hotplugging and so on.

1.8Ghz is not healthy for the CPU in the long run and will cause overheating which is exactly what you are currently seeing.
Especially since you keep the phone on 100% CPU power all the time (performance governor) which should drain battery like hell as a side effect.

This is down to your settings. Neither rom nor kernel.
- Don't overclock (much)
-Use a good kernel such as Siyah
-Undervolt if the phone remains stable
-Use pegasusq Governor
-Enjoy

Hi buddy and thanks for your response.
I am not sure about what you said regarding it working correctly, it gets the best results for any benchmark compared to others so I would be interested in more detail about the specifics of how its not working correctly as I have never been told that. It would be appreciated.
I dont mind the battery drain although I do heed your warning about about longevity of the CPU.
I have been using Siyah Kernel for some time now and I find undervolting a little unstable, for now I am forced to use pegasusq.
Can you or anyone else answer the original question as I still wish to pursue this to a resolve other than not using it.
Many thanks for your time and efforts non the less!

it´s samsung´s based roms related: when the battery temp hits 41C the cpu will throttle. Nothing related with de cpu temp (can be at 80C before throttles).
try CM10.1 and you´ll see what im talking about.
We need a solution for this throttling with samsung based roms

[Q] S3 i9300 CPU dropping to 800Mhz constantly!!!

Hi there to all!!! I've been flashing various Android Roms for a few yrs now & really enjoy trying out new custom roms etc... Now i have a weird problem, Most customs Roms I have tried for my S3 i9300 are great & most 4.3 Roms come with a Custom Kernel such as Beoffla, GoogyMax, devil kernel & so on.... Now the problem is when leaving the CPU at defualt governer & settings everything is fine eg: min 200 & max 1400 but games lag now & again, When setting the CPU min & Max settings to 1400MHz, the results are much better but not for long, The CPU always drops to 800MHz when gaming as i notice the lagg, I've noticed this same thing with just about every kernel & rom ive tried wether its set to 1400 or even overclocked to 1500 or 1600max, I've also tried every trick to make them settings stick , like trickster mod etc, none seem to work for long, its like another system service is interfering with the settings or so.....im pulling my hair out to figure out what this is, I just want the CPU min & max to stay firmly at 1400Mhz or 1500 etc....without changing at all!!!
Any help or suggestions would be really appreciated.... FlashJunkie83

CPU/GPU can under-perform if they get too hot from playing resource-intensive games or apps. Maybe this is the issue.

hey yea would make sense but when running rooted stock 4.1.2 with stock kernel, this doesnt happen at all, i can set performance governer in set cpu & it stays at 1400 Mhz throughout, also i would of thought a Cpu thats ment to run at 1400 would be fine to do so all the time as its ment to be able to... even with a little heat behind it... its still only doing what its ment to lol, i remember in the days of my s2, i could push the cpu to 1200mhz & it would happily stay there even tho it got hot lol, im really sure its a system thing that upsets the cpu frequency, other than that there must be a way to stop the cpu/gpu from under-performing with a little heat..... thanks for reply tho dude....

@FlashJunkie83
- High temp will always cause freq throttling since this is how devices are designed. This over-rides whatever the max freq the cpu was designed to run on.
- try undervolting from the boefla config app (if you use the boefla kernel). I use -25mV with almost no difference to performance. Some users have gone on to -50mV but that gave me random freezes and massive lags sometimes.
- Test different governors. I mostly use the default pegasusq and it works well enough. Constantly high freq can affect the CPU in the long-term. So I use max freq of 800mhz and increase it to 1400mhz only when I play games.
- I'm not a fan of SetCPU. It's a great app but i find specific apps (like boeffla config) for kernels to be more precise.
- You can also try a different battery and borrow one from a friend to test it out. I had slight heating issues long ago and changing the battery reduced the heat for me somehow. It was not much, but it was enough for me to notice.

thanks mate will give it a go

finally fiqured it out, it seems that cynogenmod has a diffrent approach to thermal throttling as ive flashed CM10.2.0 Android 4.3.1 along with Boeffla 2.1 for CM & the issue seems to have gone completely, have been running a performance test on games for best part of the day at 1600MHz with 4 enabled cores & just going back to normal settings for normal daily use, & not 1 issue with throttling, so now im very happy with the smoothness in games although its gets warm, but most high performance CPU's do anyways,So ive come to the conclusion that thermal throttling must be handled more by sammy roms it seems, but got the result i wanted in the end, thanks for all replies tho guys
