[Q] Slick v6 reboots when launching Super Monsters Ate My Condo - AT&T LG Optimus G

Hi all,
E970, running Slick Rom v6, eco mode on or off, launching Super Monsters Ate My Condo (free game) instantly reboots the phone.
I have tried clearing game's app data, I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling game from Play Store.
This appears to be the only app having issues.
Could it have been because I didn't clear "data" when installing the rom? (The instructions listed as optional, only if coming rom a different rom.)
Also, after I switched to Slick Rom and before I tried SMAMC, I did install Avast and set up all the root anti-theft stuff, so maybe that's the real culprit?
Anyway, it's a free game so it's not a big deal, but as I'm a newb, I'd really like to understand what happened and why, if possible.
So any explanations or troubleshooting help would be greatly appreciated.

Works fine here. I have to edit the Slick OP. Always wipe data when flashing, sorry. Try reflashing with a clean wipe and all should be good, although not sure if it's Avast since I don't have that.

Works fine for me. I would suggest wiping data, cache, and reinstalling. Also, I'm not running any anti virus or theft software. You may want to try uninstalling those first.

Thanks!
Thanks for the advice (and the awesome ROM).
I'll try starting over and clearing the data too.
Supposedly I installed avast to be "wipe proof" so if it still does it after the clean install, I'll try uninstalling avast. But in the mean time it'll be a good test of the wipe-proof-ness of avast.

worked
Okay, re-did the rom doing the data wipe this time.
Installed SMAMC first and tried it, it worked.
So must've been some data hanging around from the original install, somewhere?
Thanks again for the advice and the awesome ROM.
BTW, I just noticed the guy with this pants at his ankles in the screenshot posted to this thread. Ha @ adult swim

Problems with flash video in browser

I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere, but has anyone else had issues with flash videos not playing? Instead of them playing in the browser, a new gray window pops up with the touchplayer logo in the middle. Then it spins for maybe 20 seconds, and says that there was an error playing the video.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas on how to solve it?
Its the biggest issue I have with the touchpad, I love it besides this.
I've attached screen shots of what I'm seeing (if it works from my Evo 3D, couldn't seem to attach images from the touchpad browser)
Thanks!

Any sites in particular?
My guess though is poor implementation on the sites you can't get it to work with, but it could also be from ad blocking.
here is one.
http://jalopnik.com/5837515/watch-this-ninja-flip-over-a-speeding-acura-nsx
I watch a lot of videos here, and at least 90% of the time it doesn't work. Every once in a while a video does work normally. I tried taking off ad blocker, but it didn't seem to help.
can you guys play that video on your TP?
site works fine for me. Sorry
wow, this is frustrating. Even YouTube videos thru the YouTube "app" do this. I really gotta figure this out.
One possible scenario could be the kernel you're using. I had the same problem when I was using the F-15 kernel. Once I switched over to the F-4 Phantom kernel, flash worked just fine. Might wanna try that if you've experimented with kernels, overclocked, etc.
Works for me too and I block ads with my own list directly in /etc/hosts. Should also work for you, it's just a youtube video. Try watching it on youtube.com if you cant make it work there (press on the youtube button at the bottom).
Did you download the last adobe flash player drivers? 10.3 i think.
it solve this issue with my Nexus.

As far as I know, there is no manual way to update the flash plugin on webOS, it just comes with the official updates sent out by HP. However, did you try updating your touchpad to the latest webOS version under settings?
This happens to me as well, it's quite annoying. :/ I am running a custom kernel though...I'll have to look into it more.
Please let me know if you find a fix. I was using Uberkernal at 1.5, but I tried going back to stock kernal and nothing changed. I have the recommended patches as well to speed up the tp, but I doubt those are causing issues, otherwise everyone would be reporting this issue.
Maybe tonite i will look into a hard reset (full wipe). I don't know how to do that as of now, but i assume it can be done easily.
Any other thoughts on this issue?

I am using uberkernel right now and it worked okay. I would just try doing a full reset of your tablet, because youtube should probably be the first flash based site that always works. The only other thing I can think of that might be causing the problem is if you are signed into the html5 test on youtube.
Just wanted to post an update. I was able to get flash working again. Flashing the stock kernal back didnt help, nor did a hard reset. But when I looked at the browser preferences, i cleared cookies and cache, and turned off "enable flash" and "Autoload Flash". Not sure exactly what combo made it work, but everything is working as it should now.
Thanks to those who looked into this for me, I appreciate it!
similar issue
I have a similar issue, flash doesn't work on some sites especially the cbc.ca video site (none of the videos work ). Youtube works fine though.
Things I've tried so far:
1) Full Erase and reinitialization of WebOS
2) Installation and later removal of some "performance tweaks" including Preware, Uberkernel etc.
3) Clearing of Cache and Cookies
4) Reinstallation of WebOS through WebOSDoctor
Everything works fine with my laptop on the same network, just not on the Touchpad.

Unlocking mobile hot spot

Hey, just wondered if there was a way to unlock the mobile hotspot feature (without paying ATT obviously) without flashing a ROM. I have no problem with rooting, which I feel should allow override access for however ATT locks it. But, this was not the case with my old phone (Samsung Captivate). With that, I was only free to us the hotspot once flashing certain ROMs. Any advice? Thanks.
i'm pretty sure that is not possible without a custom rom
again .... you are in the wrong section with these questions. That is what the Q&A section is for.

kinda weird that you wouldn't mind rooting, but you would mind flashing a custom rom.
I know it's odd, but for now, lame though it may be, I kinda like the newest iteration of TW. Part of that is because there are some native apps (like quickoffice) that came with the phone that i use all the time and don't want to lose them with a custom ROM
@justlaxin13: It's possible and quite easy to do. All you have to do is root your phone by following jivy26 directions here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285894
then get Titanium Backup (Paid version allows freezing of apps) open it, and uninstall Tethering Manager, reboot phone, and you should be good to go.
It worked for me, and I'm on Stock Rom, that's rooted, tooted, and free of all AT&T crapware!!! :-D

All of our custom ROMs right now except for Perception and CM7/MIUI are derived from I777 stock - so they'll have the same TW version.
And I think most of them (except maybe S8) still have Quickoffice. Worst case you can pull the APK from a ROM that has it.

thanks, I've been wondering much the same, whetehr flashing a custom rom would lose me access to Touchwiz and/or quickoffice. In particular I'm considering CyanogenMod and Unnamed, are both of these in the "include TW and QO" category?

Cyanogenmod is the exception - it's AOSP-based. CM7 and MIUI are the only ROMs that lose Touchwiz.
I think Unnamed has QO - if it doesn't, worst case pull the APK from stock and readd it to /system/app

Thanks, that worked for me. I'm rooted and still on the stock ROM. By the way, don't need the paid version of Titanium Backup, the free version worked just fine. I backed it up (just in case) and uninstalled it. Worked without a reboot even. Rebooted to be sure, and it still works. Thanks!
Just ran a speed test and was a bit surprised. '4g' in my area isn't the greatest, at least I thought.
But I ran a speedtest on my asus transformer while connected to my phone's hotspot.

Then immediately shut off the hotspot and ran it on my phone.
How can a device on the hotspot pull faster speeds than the device itself?
The asus is 100% stock, currently, and my sgh II is stock, at least for the next hour, with only entropy512's kernel, dd11032011, and unmodified apn settings.

Different TCP buffer settings (although on my kernel, yours should be nice and big), also, the speedtest app seems to randomly freak out and pick the wrong servers.
Gotcha. I'll try pinning it down but it's most likely nothing. I don't 'feel' the speed difference between this and other 4g phones.

[Q] battery drops 30% overnight

Hi,
this probably was discussed already but can't seem to find anything using search.
My battery drops about 30% overnight with Wifi and Mobile data disabled, I'm coming from a HTC Desire which lost 2 or 3% under same conditions.
I noticed yesterday night that wifi-sharing took a lot of battery although I never used this and wifi was off.
I then rooted and installed titanium backup and I froze wifi-sharing and the samsung "hub" apps as this was mentionned on another forum as being a solution.
This morning however, no wifi sharing which is good, but I lost again 30%, this time just the "android system" took the most.
I'm out of ideas, this can't be normal right?
I am still running 2.3.3, there are no upgrades for my country currently
BB version I9100XXKE4
Kernel 2.6.35.7 [email protected] #2
Build gingerbread.xwke7
I think I might be ready to start flashing ROM's now
Anybody any tips? I like my device as is so want to keep it as stock as possible but with better battery life and if possible editable power controls in the notification bar (I want to add "mobile data" also to it)
Cheers
B
- prefera
Since you are already rooted and want to stay as stock as possible then go to this thread here and follow the guide that Intratech gives and choose whichever firmware you want. they are all official releases and all stock as you like it.
Backup your rom though in recovery. Make sure you backup your apps with Titanium Backup and read the guides in that thread i gave you and you should be fine. Also install an application called BetterBatteryStats. That should help you find out what keeps your phone awake and what application causes it. That way you can either remove that application or just freeze it. Search for the app using google and you should have it in the first few results
Thank you for the info, I've installed betterbatterystats so before installing a new rom/firmware hopefully I'll figure out what's eating the battery
ps by saying "close to stock" I actually might have expressed myself incorrectly, I meant I didn't want major GUI changes like e.g. the MIUI roms... I've used go launcher on all my phones/roms anyway
If there are roms out there who can improve speed/functionality/customisation even more off course I'm very open to them
cheers
B
Normally i would say hyperdroid but that thread has been closed try checkrom or even in the android development there is loads of roms there to try out my friend.
Foxhound seems another good bet to though.

Start with the Better Battery Stats thread and particularly partial wakelocks .
DO not flash roms that's not the problem its stuff using the phone during sleep .
Upgrade once you have made some progress with the battery . stock roms from the link posted .

that is alot..no wonder your battery gets ****ed so quickly make it so you get emails every four hours than having it on push....or delete that app and use samsung email client...basically like outlook it is...great app and does not drain battery
I have an imap account set to check every hour and an exchange account without polling (manual) so polling is not the issue
I use enhanced email because this bypasses the exchange security (pin code that pops up all the time)
I had this on my desire without issues so my guess is that it's the sync for the calendar... it was disabled on my desire but on my S2 for some reason it was enabled so switched it off and I hope this sorts the battery drain issue

[L9 II] Possible mediaserver memory leak?

This issue has been haunting me for a while now. I never really knew that it was the mediaserver but i found out like a week ago. Basically the mediaserver ram usage extends to maximum possible (it was 120mb once) and making multitasking or even general usage of the phone unusable. Even if i open dialer and then close it right away, the home screen has to reload. The ram is simply full because of this. It doesn't matter if i listen to music, watch videos or even TOUCH the phone, it always happens after a while. When i restart the phone, the mediaserver memory goes back to normal (around 8mb). I've read somewhere that corrupt media can cause this and i can assure you that my sdcard doesn't have any. Plus the mediaserver uses some processor too. That results in stutters on the lg interface. Here is a screenshot (please note that it's 60mb on there but over time it climbs up to 100+ mb filling the whole ram)

Oh and this is a stock KK 20a
One this that helps is the Mediaserver Killer. Well.. not quite. After i kill the media server, i cannot hear anything in the earpiece while on call. This is resolved ONLY if i restart the phone (which i've been doing quite a lot lately)
(Don't tell me to factory reset my phone. I've been doing this quite a lot lately and i'm tired of backing up my apps and data)
I'd really like to find out what could be causing it. I'll provide more resources if you need them.
Edit: I found a file called external.db on my internal memory, what is it? (It's over 6mb big)
@RaawrItsTomi External.db is the database of files scanned by the mediascanner. there was also an internal.db for the internal storage I believe :silly:.
I am not sure why your mediaserver is 50-60 MB you could maybe also have some crappy apps on your phone, also if the media scanner drains alot of your battery then that could also say that you have an corrupt file and then the scanner keeps repeating till it get good scanned.
I know there was a bug with the mediaserver on 4.1.2 but it got fixed.
But 20A seems to be kitkat as far as I know LG with their Software versions. I can't tell you or this also happen to other users with the L9 since I don't own the device and didn't had Stock LG anymore since stock 4.0.4
I hope for you that other people also respond to your thread since I can't really help you with your problem, I just went passing by for a friend.

SD and Wi-Fi related questions

You'll have to forgive me as some, if not all of this has been answered, however I'm having issues and can't find the answer. I'm fairly new to anything Android newer than gingerbread, and I'm having some recurring issues, and one new one.
Firstly, the new issue. My SD card is being mounted on boot as sdcard1, whereas in the past, it was mounted as sdcard0 when inserted. I've gathered that there were changes made with how kit-kat handles SD card storage, so if this is what that is, I'd like to know how to fix it, please.
Secondly, I've had 3 phones now running 4.0 or newer (AT&T avail 2 -z992 if memory serves, and net10 zte whirl 2 -z667g, then this phone) and I'd had what I thought was an issue with the zte phones Wi-Fi turning itself on, but this one's doing it too, in exactly the same way. So I'm thinking it's Android related perhaps. Specifically what happens is that the Wi-Fi turns itself on shortly after I turn it off, and if I turn it off too many times, or if it stays disconnected long enough, it does stay off, but glitches in a state of trying to turn on, and the only way I can turn it back on is by rebooting. The attached screenshot

For as long as I have owned this phone I have never come across the problem you are experiencing. Many would probably say "check all your apps and make sure they are not causing the problem." In a lot of cases apps can make weird things happen especially when the phone becomes rooted. Since it has happened with your previous phones, and you download the same or similar apps, an app could be the culprit. A couple questions...
1. Does this problem occur after a factory restore without root with no other apps installed other then stock?
2. Does this problem happen when rooted with no other apps installed other then stock?
Answer those two questions and then work from there.

First, yes, it does after factory reset, and no other apps installed, as this was the first thing I attempted after first encountering the issue.
Second, I knew of no way to unroot the first phone on which this occurred, and the second phone had no permanent root available.

I've done some research about the Wi-Fi issue, and I've seen quite a number of posts of other people having the exact same issues with several other phones, Samsung being the most common I've seen. In almost all of these instances people have suggested changing settings in "connection optimization" however I've found no such animal in the settings menus of any of my devices. I'm wondering if there's something I may be missing going under a different name within my settings menus. I attempted to diagnose by turning off the battery saver, and rebooting, with Wi-Fi off. Approximately 1 minute after boot, Wi-Fi turned itself on.
