[Q] Random Force Closing - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

So I haven't found anyone with the same issues I'm having. My text messaging randomly freezes then force closes, and so does the Facebook app. I haven't noticed a trend in when it actually happens, just seems to be random. I originally thought it might have been a ROM issue, I was running SuperNexus, but I flashed to Ktoonsez AOKP and there was no change. I've wiped the dalvik three times, and still nothing and I really don't want to wipe my phone or get a new one. Any solutions?

Did you not wipe your phone when going from SuperNexus to AOKP?

LOL Oops, forgot to mention that. I did wipe it then, didn't fix anything. I'm starting to think there might be something wrong with the hardware, and I'm really hoping it's not it. I haven't done anything to hurt it.

Trying clearning data for those two apps.

A full wipe consists of the system, data, cache, dalvik cache, and running the kernel cleaning script ( optional but useful in my opinion) did u do all those things before installing this new ROM? If not try it and reflash the ROM.

Every couple weeks I always wipe cache and dalvik, seems to help on mtd. I only use google to sync contacts and tibu for apps.

[Q] SGS2 slows down until I re-install ROM

Hey all,
I've had my SGS2 since May 2011 and using VillainROM as it has developed. The weird thing over the last few months has been the phone gradually slows down, I don't have a massive amount of apps installed and nothing running that should cause a slow down. It slows to the point where response to screen selections takes a second or two and even the haptic feedback slows down now and again (so instead of a quick buzz it causes a long buzz and then the next one will be OK).
The one solution I've found is to Titanium backup all of the apps and data then wipe and re-install the ROM, restore all apps and data then it's fine. The fact that I'm backing up/restoring the apps and it still being OK is another reason I don't believe it's app related, the only thing that will have changed is the full wipe and re-install of the ROM. This then lasts a couple of months in a good state before slowly getting worse again.
While this is a sure-fire solution it's also a time consuming and annoying one. So has anyone got any ideas as to what I could do to resolve this issue without a wipe?
Thanks
Russ
Try diffrent kernels and diffrent villainrom builds

What you could try is a wipe of dalvik and cache via recovery every so often see if that helps .

I've been using VR3.0 and Ninphetamine 2.0.5 but I would expect these kinds of issues to be instantly apparent if it were related to either of those, not something that gradually gets worse?

And that wouldn't wipe any data? Truth be told I've never really known what they do but I wipe them before a re-install. I'll give it a go!
They just rebuild when you reboot .
Just tested it means reboot takes longer first run is all .

Cheers, I'll give it a go and see how I get on

[Q] short freeze during force close after ICS update

so far my experience with this phone is,
it never hangs. Hang as in it totally freeze, not responding to every thing,
and have to remove battery, or long press power button.
but apps force close happen every now and then.
in gingerbread, if app force close, a pop up appear and i can choose to report or close it. anyway, the point is, i can dismiss it instantly.
after upgrade to ICS, if an app force close,
the phone totally freeze and stop responding for about 10-15 seconds,
i have to wait and stare in despair as my phone stop responding during this duration. finally a pop up appear saying that app has stop responding,
then only i can dismiss that pop up.
this 10-15 seconds freeze happens every single time apps FC.
within 2 days, happens 5 times. once is brower, 3 times is hancent sms, one more time is apex launcher.
generally things are snappier and animations are smoother in ics,
but all these longs temporary freezes during force close are annoying.
i'm using XWLPF firmware download from intratech thread.
is this a common issue in ICS that i have to live with?
or there is a fix for this?

Not a general issue on ICS as far as I know.
Have you already wiped cache partition (and Dalvik cache) in recovery mode?
Maybe you have to do factory reset.

I did wipe dalvic cache.
Oh well, I just wipe cache and dalvic again. Let see how it goes.
You mean I'm the only one facing this?
Have you encounter any force close in ics?
It instantly pops up a force close notification?
Mine freezes awhile only got pop up appear,
That's an ICS feature I assume. Because the other day I saw this video of SGS2 GB vs ICS and this issue appeared there. Although GB starightaway asked, either to close or report.
Did you wipe when you flashed ics. And wipe means wipe code using dialer.
Cache wipe is not a wipe.
ICS freeze when apps FC

Ray,
You are definitely not the only one facing this issue.
Ever since I upgraded my Galaxy Note to stock ICS 4.0.3 I had the exact same issue.
Have you had any luck with a factory wipe.
I was about to do the same, but was wondering whether it made any sense.
Thanks

Hi Ray,
Thanks for the feedback.
I did a full reset some time ago (I mean wiping all internal memory and interal SDcard through use of dialer code).
No help there.
Unfortunately, I am stuck on stock ICS ROM because of stupid Good Entrerprises app I need to have on my phone because of work. This app does not play nice with rooted devices.
May decide to root my note anyway. Flash a custom ROM and then permanently unroot it.... Not looking forward to the hassle though.

[Q] Keyboard lag

I've seen the other threads about this issue, but no fixes from what I could find.
Did I miss anything?
----------------
I rooted my phone yesterday and flashed Viking ROM. I then got annoyed by the keyboard lag so I flashed Android Revolution HD. To my surprise, that ROM had the same issue. When I type anything in Monster Warlord, it's damn sluggish. And it doesn't matter what application I write in, but when I press shift, there's a lag before the letters switch to uppercase. It's really annoying.
I've tried different keyboards, with no luck.
did you do a completely clean install?
Format system/data/cache
Usual procedure if a dirty flash causes problems
Also first try clearing keyboard data and fix permissions, then cache and dalvik wipe

I'm coming from the X10, so I did the normal procedures there. Wipe everything including dalvik and battery stats. I also wiped the internal memory, yes.
I decided to go back to stock (I'd rather have warranty than a laggy keyboard ). No problems there. :good:
There are other otions instead of going back to stock like,
setting,aplications manager,ALL,samsung key board- and then clear data
reboot to recovery and go to ADVANCED and then FIX PERMISSIONS then reboot

Since I'm coming from the X10, I've never had to clear keyboard data before. Normally everything works like it should. I guess that's a downside to Samsung ROMs.
And the second tip really makes no sense to me as I've always thought Fixing permissions solves FC problems. Not anything else.
But thanks, I'll try both of these.
I do wonder though, if the first tip solves the issue, why wouldn't it work by using another keyboard? The samsung keyboard shouldn't cause an issue with all the other keyboards.
Edit: Tried everything, still laggy in Monster Warlord.
I may just be a compatability thing with monster warlord.Did you try another key board like android or swype?.If its still the same then it monster warlord thats the cause.Maybe cos its to heavy in data for the keyboard to keep up with it.

I tried samsung and swype. Both of them have the lag. Neither of them lags on 4.0.4. Might be as you say, the game has bad support for Jelly Bean.
I have the same issue with Swiftkey 3, but just with Whatsapp
Could be.Some apps havent been updated to JB yet.Since its only official in Poland I guess they dont see a big rush to do so.

Right, from what you are describing it seems the problem is with the game, not with the keyboards.

[Q] touchscreen input lag/stutter

Hi all,
I'm having an issue with Hyperdrive RSL12 but maybe there's a more generic fix. Basically every 10-15mins ill be using the phone and it will just stop responding to touchscreen input for 3-5 seconds. I generally keep most of the unnecessary features turn off (smart stay etc) and keep very few apps open. I've also tried the clear memory option in task manager. Wiped dalvik and chache once too. Nothing seems to fix the problem. Has anyone else experienced this on Hyperdrive or other ROMS? Is there anything else i should be trying short of wiping everything and starting from scratch? Thanks for any advice!
Sorry if this is the wrong forum for this question. I can't post to dev forums yet.

You should do a clean flash with a factory data wipe just to be sure any changes you might have made since installing HyperDrive aren't the culprit.
Make a full nandroid backup first just in case it has no effect.
You might also want to try and "retrace your steps" so to speak.
How long ago did this issue appear?
Were any changes made around that time, particularly changes related to performance, like CPU governors/frequencies or I/O scheduler (note that changes also includes installing apps, as rarely you'll get a troublesome one that starts at boot)?
