I'm sorry if this has been answered before, i searched but couldnt find anything related that helped. So, today I noticed that my phone was running hot even when doing some regular tasks like browsing the play store, reading sms, playing solitaire etc. And even hotter when using MX player to watch movies. In the past my s2 could run these apps with ease, I never felt the phone getting hot except when running CPU intensive HD games.
Is there a way to find out the reason behind this? My s2 is rooted on alliance jb ROM.

1)the phone sometimes get hot when ur using more of 3g over wifi.
2) Kernel is also another reason for ur phone getting hot.
look into the above ones and see, if any change made to them might bring down the heat'
like using more wifi than 3g, and also a change of kernel

i had the same issues on Eclipse 1.3. i reverted back to stock rooted 2.3.4. i haven't flashed a new custom rom because of this reason. i'll follow this thread to see if there are any solutions.
I couldn't get YouTube to play yesterday on 3G. I haven't tried wifi yet to see if it's just my 3G signal or what.

I just watched a video I posted on YouTube over 3g and it worked just fine. Mind you, I didn't watch it in HQ mode since it was over 3g, but no jumping, skipping, etc. Worked just fine.
As for games, sometimes they pause, but not always. Overall, I'm getting better performance out of CM7 than I have out of any other ROM, stock or custom.
GTA 3 plays beutifully just like on Eclipse 2.0.1
One thing I have noticed when I ran Smartbench 2011 is that my Productivity and Gaming indexes dropped going from CM7 Alpha to CM7 Beta.
On Alpha (with the extra core constantly on), this is what I had:
Productivity: 3395
Gaming: 2581
After going to CM7 Beta, this is what I have:
Productivity: 1776 avg.
Gaming: 2383 avg.
I then launched system tuner pro and noticed that only 1 cpu was on. But, it appears as if the 2nd core never comes on, at least from what I can tell. If I tell System Tuner Pro to enable both cores and run my benchmarks, I notice that I get back the scores I had before.
Now, I have noticed a slight drop-off in games at times. My question is, is there a way I can monitor if the 2nd core ever comes on when it's needed? Is there an app I can run to monitor this and then I can see if/when the 2nd core came on and at what frequency it ran? Heck, are the any logs I can look at?
Just curious.
Also, one thing I have noticed. If I mess with the Memory Auto-kill settings (such as with V6 Scripts), I notice games get a lot laggier, especially Fruit Ninja. If I leave them at the default settings CM7 comes with, the games perform a lot better.
Thanks!
I didn't have any of these issues on eclipse (any version) so this is new to me.. YouTube works but it constantly pauses or restarts..Iv only tried over 3g so I'll try wifi today. On some other sites my browser wont recognize flash player or the video will be scrambled in black and pink streaks...the strangest thing.
Could the theme I'm using have anything to do with it? Its the epic blue and bold..

I just went to YouTube via the stock browser and the video played just fine over 3g. I also went to FoxNews to try and stream a video there and it worked just fine under CM7 Beta.
You DO have Flash installed, right? Just making sure! I know on my phone I have both Adobe Flash and Adobe AIR installed.
I had AIR installed and had to install flash player on this rom just to get any bids to show up in the browser...never had to on any other rom or stock. I might just reflash the rom and go from there...otherwise its back to eclipse til the next cm7 update

That's because the CM7 doesn't come with everything installed. It's a bare-bones ROM where as the other ROMS, including stock, include the Adobe stuff in it.
Like I said, I have it all installed and YouTube and other flash-sites show up just fine in my browser without any issues. The sound is fine, the video is fine, no choppiness in them at all and that was over 3g.
Ok thanks. So at least I know that its not the rom. Ill have to try something. Clearing the data on apps fixed most of the force closing issues but nothing has fixed the video issues yet. Unless its the theme or another app in the background interferring.. scratching my head on this one

If anyone else has the YouTube issue just go to the market and uninstall the YouTube updates...YouTube stays installed and then works without the constant pausing and restarting. Games are still pausing but enter want to delete my data to try to fix that

I'm wondering if I'm not alone in this: I have a rooted Evo 4G LTE running Jelly Bean/Paranoid Android 2.13. I'm running into an issue with running audio apps like Google Play Music and Doggcatcher. Basically sometimes if I'm playing something and I switch to another app, a few moments or minutes later the audio dies and the audio app gets killed. I can tell because when I enter back into Doggcatcher, the loading screen starts up as if it wasn't running before. Is this a case of over aggressive task killing? Is there a way to prevent this at all?
What are your kernel settings?
Forgive the newbism but where would I check that on the phone? Do you mean the Performance tab in settings? I'm running the kernal that comes with PA
Happened during a drive though this time with Google Navigation. I was at a red light and switched to my podcasting app and Navigation got killed in the background moments later. Is anyone else seeing this happen?

It sounds like you dont have enough RAM or memory.

That sucks if that is the case. I'm using all the same apps as my old phone (Evo 3d) and I never ran into this on CM9. Guess it's time to replace my evo with a GS3, which is a shame: I love the evoLTE otherwise.
I had the same problem on my old P500 too, I re-installed the ROM and it never did that anymore.
Is it just me guys or do you also encounter some random stuttering while playing music in stock music player? It's just a quick stutter but really annoying since it happens randomly.
Im on stock LJ1, and this never happened when Im on ICS

Try Settings->Audio->Advanced Tweaks->Audio Buffer Size-> Large or Huge.
Haven't noticed any stuttering since I made it large.

Tried. Didn't help
Even tried b changing audio priority to highest.
Specially happens if I'm browsing something and some picture starts loading.
Doesn't happen in my year old iPod.
And I don't think it used to happen in ICS
I had a similar problem which i think i worked out to happen when a message was coming through or a application was updating, leading me to think it was a low RAM problem so maybe this could be whats happening, if alot of things are open in the background. Either that or processor isnt working fast enough. If your rooted and have a custom kernel try changing the profile to maybe a performance one?
But this didn't happen in ICS... jellybean was supposed to speed up our device not to make it crawl... looks like touchwiz is really :thumbdown: :banghead:

I'd say probably not - I can confirm I've got this issue too, after upgrading to JB. I can't see why so many with the same problem would mean that all our phones are faulty.
Has anyone got a resolution for this?
Mine does it too.. Its just cause of too low ram or something. Never had this problem on S2. This is just samsungs way of saying "upgrade to the S4"
This phone would be brilliant without all these microlags because of low ram..
Questions go in the QA section, not general.
Hit "report" on your post and ask for it to be moved
Same for me since the JB upgrade in Poweramp and Play music. I thought it was something to do with my setup but had the sudden death failure on my phone so started with a clean install when it came back. Problem is still there with my new 32GB mboard and I haven't done any restores of apps.

It seems like some apps when they give ask CPU ( or RAM ) for something, the focus shifts from the music to that.
Like when weater widget asks polls for weather or something.
Funny how my 6 years old SE Walkman w800i was able to play for hours without a micro shutter.
And this almighty phone can't do a simple task,
It's worse when I try to browse and play music.

I agree. I've noticed it mainly when getting notifications through. It seems to me that it's down to bad RAM management. My Desire had less ram but played music fine with ICS.

Reply ****ing frustrated with the phone.
Can't even listen to song on PowerAmp while surfing Facebook in the app or browse lightly on Dolphin .
The songs start to shutter at random places.
And if I press home button, Nova launcher reloads.
I'm on stock LLC with stock kernel.. Rooted.
Any solutions?
I tried many things, new roms, new kernels. All megawipes and stuff, nothing works..
Same problem here . It's so annoying. Given the great number of people with the same problem, I don't think it is a phone problem but a JB one!! Please!!! Help!!! I already tried changing the buffering size and even though it did help a little, I still get some stuttering!
Here's what I think I've worked out so far.
The problem has only arisen since JB and was fine in ICS. A change of handset has the same issue with a clean install of JB.
It seems to happen across different music apps but tunein radio is fine so isn't a specific audio app. Could be that it's linked to a particular file format, e.g. mp3?
When it happens in Poweramp I can see the buffering constant, it never fully loads. Increasing the buffer size and priority doesn't help.
Notifications can make it stutter but it seems that the problem is already there beforehand from the buffering.
Clearing RAM doesn't seem to help, however rebooting the phone will improve it for a while.

I had the same problem.
Deleting the musicplayer widget on the homescreen fixed my problem.
Try deleting it or any other widget you have on your homescreen.
Think I've got a solution in poweramp. After a reboot go to settings/misc/tweaks and select keep service. It hasn't had any skips since I've done that and battery life/performance still seems OK. Early days yet though.

I tried stock 4.1.2 for a month or so and now I've tried padwan for about a week but I can't seem to escape the extreme lag and slow downs. It got so bad that toward the end of these tests I started experementing with different cpu governers, overclocking, memory parameters via pimp my rom and system tuner. No matter what i've done I can't even load up chome without it taking nearly a minute for the phone to become responsive again. It's gotten so bad that I'm actually thinking about possibly going back to an ice cream sandwich rom to see if there is a huge speed boost.
So I turn to the community for advice... I require a phone rom on my i717 that's at least as responsive as an iphone 5 that has decent bluetooth keyboard and a2dp support.
My usual applications that I use on a regular basis are the xda app, facebook messenger, facebook, bacon reader, just reader, google play music, pandora, ingress, falcon pro, google drive, evernote, untapped, dropbox, check, gmail, wordpress, netflix, firefox, aldiko, pocket, steam, pvstar, ebay, getglue, camera, calendar, foursquare, and maps / navigation for trips to places i've never been.
If anyone has any advice for roms, configuration, or anything else i can do to make my phone much faster and lag free, I'd be happy to hear from you!
Thank you!

I know its a ways back in the Padawan thread now, but in May or June I referred folks back to pages 355-378 or so. at this time Padawan for JB was just released and many were having these issues. It was also when at least myself were newly introduced to the Trickster Mod. in these pages you will see many of us helping each other through the lag. the results had my phone running better than it had ever run.
to start, disable that ripple effect. that alone you will find is a huge difference. as far as Chrome goes??? its been a while now but something sticks in my head as to they may not play well together. another launcher may help the cause too.
good luck and I hope I have steered you in the helpful direction. you could have posted this there too. Padawan is one of the most helpful threads around.
I'll be happy to check out those pages you referenced when I get home from work tonight, thanks, but the reason I didn't post directly to the padwan forum is specifically because i didn't think it was a padwan problem. This same exact lag and slowness happened on the stock 4.1.2 rom as well both before and after i tried to edit the system parameters.
I KNOW it wasn't this slow on ICS... I just don't want to have to revert because then things like google now integration and such will be more or less broken.
In all honesty, what i'd really like is just a working fast rom with 4.3 or 4.4 with keyboard support... i'd be really happy with that... it just doesn't seem to be happening.
Thanks again!

I have a clean 4.03 R5a install from 6 month or so, i use the tablet only for Chrome , no apps, no installs, no downloads, just web browsing, everyday it's more slow than even and now it's almost imposible to open two tabs at one, i wonder if somebody try to use the app called "LagFix" or what kind of app can help me to get the tablet as fast as six month ago
Hi,
I have been using it but did not find any noticeable improvement. Sometimes after using lagfix the tablet works fine for some minutes and then the lag shows up again.
In my case, the lag is related to high values of Iowait. Unfortunately, there's no way of identitying the process responsible for this behavior.
