Hi all.
i recently bought a SGS2 and I'm loving it.
however I have encountered a little 'problem' if we can call it a problem.
sometimes when I am using my phone, doing regular stuff, like for example checking Twitter, Facebook, instagram, or browsing the web through Chrome the phone tends to act in a slugish way. It lags, i dont know how to say, .... it freezes. However during the time this happens I can always scroll the notifications menu without problems. When the lag is gone, I check the RAM status at Task Manager and it is always high, 650MB and more.... When I clear RAM from there, than it doesnt happen until some time, but Im getting this freeze constantly.
I've wondered maybe if its because of a high numbers of accounts and tried to switch off the Sync, but it still happened. I mean, it cant be because of accounts. even my galaxy mini could handle that.
This didnt happen prior to switching to ICS.
i've tried doing factory reset but no luck.
Hope someone comes with a helpful reply.
Thanks.

I have issues with some applications getting cut off at the bottom of the screen when using roms such as the AT(HoneyComb)RIX 3.4 EXT4 or the Alien one. I can still scroll to the bottom of the application using the rest of the screen but there will still be part of the screen gone the whole time. Off the top of my head it does this with my SSF4AE guide app, on every single page. Also using handcent I have a similar problem; the background is not appearing fully when I go to my list of text messages
Ive been using Alien for weeks and dont have this problem on any on my 700+ apps, including Handcent which is prob the one I use more than any other.
I had the SSF4AE app problem on both but the handcent problem was only on AT(HoneyComb)RIX 3.4 EXT4

I just thought about this, my photobucket app has appeared to be shrunk ever since Gingerbread, you can see it doesn't quite take up my screen.. But it sounds like you are having the opposite problem, the app is too big to be displayed on the screen right?
Edit: i think its not showing correctly because of my photobucket privacy settings.. But it is just slightly smaller than the screen, it has a black border all the way around. Also I dont know what SSF4AE is.
Its just a guide for a fighting game that I use frequently.
It's supposed to look like this http://i.imgur.com/NaI1e.jpg
but it looks like this http://i.imgur.com/oDByS.jpg
I didn't notice until now that you mentioned your photobucket app being smaller that the sides are cut off a little too as well in this. I just took a picture from the web and edited it btw.
This thread says to download "spare parts" and toggle compatibility mode, Im gonna try that now and let you know.
Edit: Yup that worked for me! that should fix the problem for you too. Thank you for asking the question because it motivated me to find this simple fix. Im gonna hit your thanks button for that, if it works for you feel free to do the same lol. Also, strangly enough Spare Parts was also one of those apps that had a scaling prob haha, but its fixed now in that app as well. I cant say for sure yet if unchecking the "compatibility mode" causes any negative effects on other apps but it for sure fixed the scaling issue in photobucket and spare parts. Additionally, the "fancy input animation" is pretty cool it makes the keyboard slide up instead of just appear. Enjoy.
Yup that fixed my problem with the SSF4AE guide app. Thanks a lot . The handcent issue is still there but it might just be a problem with the theme..
anyone have their screen keep flickering especially when you click recent apps button in home screen and youtube?
the flickering is getting more worst and happens more often. btw it only happens when the recent apps is full of apps.
is it ICS bug or hardware issue?
I have it too, all of us do. It's a software bug that started with ICS. It is kinda annoying sometimes but I wouldn't worry about it to much. Hopefully Asus will have this fixed in future updates.
My understanding is that this is normal and designed to reduce battery drain. The screen will constantly try and adapt to use the least amount of power. I notice putting the tablet into "performance" will alleviate this, but will obviously drain the battery quicker.
that happen to me n i called asus n they said to send it to them but wat happen was i reset it to stock as new and wat happen was it seems it crash on men then all of a sudden it went to CWM recovery and stared bootloop which now i am stuck i put a rom in it and does nothing so now i am stuck real stuck

Happens on many tabs.
Running ICS on Gtab 10.1 wifi.
Screen flickering since moved to ICS CM9 (4.0.3 and 4.0.4) and yes seems more constant while the recent apps is full. I still think some apps make it worse and more constant, still cant understand witch ones.
Setting CPU to "performance" also helps, but like stated previously your battery will end soon with a cost of only 10% less flickering.
Cheers.
Hi all,
I'm getting for some time now very annoying full screen ads. I'm not 100% sure about it but I think, the issue appeared after I installed several apps. I have found some older threads related to this issue and I have tried with several antivirus apps, task managers, ad detectors but none of them has helped so far. Has anyone an idea how can I identify the cause of the full screen ads?
BTW
My phone is not rooted and is running Android 7.0.

You didn't explain , did that pop up when you search on the internet example on Google , or when you open some apps ?
Thanks for the response!
It appears when I open apps or when I have an opened app e.g. YouTube or even when I press the home button.
Uninstall all apps which doesn't belong for your phone and see if that ads are again jumping if it's still there do Factory Reset by first make backup of your data and remove all your accounts from phone like Google and so.
I think that peal remote that came with my S6 started placing "full screen" ad on my device.
You can uninstall but I believe you have to disable it.
Most of my ads were coming from dodge
@Teddy Lo: this doesn't make sense to me. Like I mentioned before I have installed several apps. Uninstalling and reinstalling is not the way to go. There must be another way.
@RockStar1965: Thanks for your response but I don't have any of these apps.
Example of a full screen ad i got today
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
After I did a Factory Data Reset the full screen ads stopped.
I own a Verizon Galaxy s9+ and A galaxy tab s3. For the past few months I've noticed strange things going on with my phone and for at least 6 months on my tablet. Even factory resets don't solve this. I feel like I've googled everything to no avail. I started to think I was just crazy, until the other day I went to add a new account to my phone, an email account, and noticed something strange under accounts. I don't see any abnormal accounts under "accounts" in settings, but when I click "add account" there is a strange icon with no title next to it, like its hidden, and it has the green circle next to it like its been added, but I can't click or see what it is. Please help! I used to be super nosey on my bfs phone and now wondering if he's had something on mine for a while as well?? Thank you!!

Hi , I'm not sure but I think maybe some spy app is installed on your phone : / . Check if your phone has Official firmware .
To do that , follow this video instruction :

First time I see something like that ...

A factory reset will not help with many spying apps. Best you can do is send the device back unless have an unlocked bootloader. Then you can format all partitions and add apps back one by one.
To be honest. If something is like this is needed. Then move on. The relationship was already dead.
My WhatsApp web keeps telling my phone is not connected as soon as the phone screen goes black.
The second I press any button and the screen is activated, then my messages gets delivered and WhatsApp web start working again.
Any idea?
same here but its random somehow,
you can try put whatsapp in "never sleep" in setting
(i didnt try it yet)
same here. Had to wake up the screen, then WA web will connect again.

These settings were already like that (I think).
Is there anywhere else I should look at?

Did you also check in device care: battery, uncheck power saving mode
click background usage limits
add whatsapp to never sleeping apps.
Theres nothing else I did to get whatsapp to stay running.
Maybe reinstalling whatsapp might help. I've seen oddities fixed by that OR clearing data (which also resets the app to new).

Run backup to Google drive in WhatsApp and reinstall. I've seen bugs like that and modern software sucks so badly you'll never know why. Example Turbo tax 2020 is the current piece of crap that they know has an issue with windows 10 that they haven't fixed yet.
