Hey guys, I recently updated my friend's i9100G to official JB 4.1.2 firmware.
She reported some random shutdowns if the phone is left for a while without usage, and she had to pull out the battery some times in order to boot up again.
I read about this problem, and it seems pretty common. But sadly haven't found any solution yet.
Anyone help me please? Thanks I really appreciate it

Avoid from restoring sys settings if possible.

I've stopped using TB because I think it's a bit too aggressive. I use My Backup Pro now. Apps are OK to restore but you might wanna hold off sys settings. Also there's this kernel(s) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293576 specifically the India release DDLS3's that seems to keep SoDs (sleep of death) out.

My phone is really sluggish and slow. Ifi click the menu button for example the round spinning loading logo comes up for a few seconds.:crying:
Any tips.
Thats not right at all. There is something fundamentally wrong.
I would download mybackup pro trial aand take a backup of your data that you absolutely cannot lose and then do a factory reset because this should not be happening.
overclock!!! :fingers-crossed:

That sort of lag isn't right at all.

Not a good solution to this problem. He shouldn't have to overclock to get the performance that should be available without any modifications.
remove all the bloatwares and it should boost your phone

+1 removing not used apps and widgets makes a great difference in performance and battery life.
No matter what, the phone shouldn't act like this. Something is heavily draining ram(not using, draining) probable a rogue app.
factory reset and if the problem persist take it back to the store

One solution lies in rooting your device and installing a good rom on it.

A launcher issue based on your description? Nova launcher is good. You coukd give it a try. If not, factory reset is a good idea.
How is your setting in developer option, animationscale set on 1x?
Hey everyone,
I have a unlocked O2 phone it seems, on Monday I tried rom'ing it to Jelly bean.. I found a decent rom from the Internet and went ahead with the firmware update. The firmware turned out to be the most basic of basic jelly bean builds... I couldn't even sign in with my Google account...? So I wanted to restore it.
I found another rom and rooted it first etc but after this one installed it kept looking the Samsung start up logo.. Looked up the symptoms and it seems a mild form of bricked. So I went into recover mode and did a data wipe and restore.
When it restored it booted up and now I had jelly beans with all my old settings and it even started to download my apps etc. Great I thought just what I wanted but I have no idea how it's done this.
Anyways... Been playing on it for about an hour now and it seems dead slow. I've cleared the cache and cleared all recent apps and I'm running at 86% ram capacity it seems. Is this normal when no apps are open? Opening my contacts seems to take a good second or two to open. It never did this on ics.
Any ideas anyone? I've attached a screen shot for illustration.
Thank you in advance.

That's what happens when we don't do FULL wipe. Search megawipe and use before flashing roms.

No.
Do not use megawipe, superwipe or bullish*t-stupidwipe.
They are not necessary, juts wipe cache, dalvik and system before flashing a ROM.
That is all.
@OP
Get rid of that damn monitoring app, don't use task killers or any other pointless apps.

Thanks for the tips guys. Do I have to wipe and restore again or can I just go into the recovery mode and clear the cache?

I would back up everything and wipe and restore again.

Wouldn't that restore the pre-wipe state and do nothing at all?
Back up just using the feature in the recovery mode or use something like titanium back up?

Presumption has to be that this decent rom found on the internet is not working .
Flash a current JB from XDA .

I've restored it back to standard firmware on jelly bean but it's still saying I'm using 687 / 833 ram. Is this normal? What do others on here have for there ram availability?

My phone shows 684/833MB RAM but it is very smooth. I let Android do the memory management in my phone. Don't bother myself with shutting down any apps or getting more 'Juice' out of my phone.
Running LJ4 version.
What Rom are you using (version)?

YEs, it is normal.
The motto with Android is that "unused RAM is wasted RAM"
The way Android manages RAM has nothing to do with how we are used to see RAM with PCs, since PCs don't cache apps that are not running.
In Android, the apps are cached so they are easier to access the next time you need them. This is specially useful for apps like Contacts, Dialer, etc. Remember that everything in Android is an application.
My phone yesterday had only 80Mb free and yet it was quite snappy, very responsive.
So, in short forget about RAM in Android devices. We gotta get rid of the old paradigm of how RAM works in a tradicional PC.
I want something that feels a bit quicker, can anyone recommend a nice rom that's like stock but lighter? My current model shown below...

I have the same symptoms with stock JB. I updated my G3 via Kies. Any ideas how to speed it up without wiping everything?
You can try Foxhound Rom Essentials Version which has a lot of things removed that aren't needed (Like S Voice, Samsung Apps, Bloatware etc). There's also Hyper Light rom (I think). Have a look in the rom section and look for roms that mention the word light.
I've got a awesome rom installed now... No Samsung crap.
Thanks for all the help peeps.

I wouldn't imagine so, mores to the point why would you want to do something as crazy as that, JB is much better all round that ICS.

When are you experiencing lag? I found using a different launcher resolved all my lag problems, as loading the app drawer and flicking between home screens in Touchwizz was a bit crap for me. There are so many things you can do rather than take a step back to ICS......seems a bit extreme to me!
you can try it, but I reckon system data might cause conflicts....better to back up with titanium, do a clean install/reinstall apps and data/restore call logs and sms etc via .xml method and any other data(system) just restore 1 at a time to see if it causes any conflicts
I think youd have more force closes if you downgraded without wipe. Best way to flash any rom and avoid issues is with a full wipe. Even for rom updates

Some apps FC? Did you wipe before you flash JB? So far there isn't any app FC due to Jelly Bean for me...

hi,
I am currently running CM10 build 201210003
and thinking about flashing to build 20121107
is there any risk of data wipe.
Thanks in advance.
Do you mean like apps, or your sdcard? You can make a nandroid backup if you mean apps.

i meant apps. i guess i will do a backup and see what happens, thanks
BTW i have a weird bug on my current build, if the screen lock is on (PIN), the home button stops working. i dont know if this has been experienced by someone else, it drove me crazy until i figured it out.
Thanks for all your efforts FE.
I had a problem where my X10 would randomly freeze then restart almost immediately once in a few hours, I did a full wipe, went to stock GB just to fix it then it seems to be doing it again, but I guess less frequently now, like once a day or two days but it's annoying, boot doesnt take too long but still basiaclly makes phone useless for a while
Has anyone had this issue? I'd appreciate any help

err so you're saying this ROM is even more stable than stock that it might stop the restarts?
Well the rom is based on stock so its as stable and way faster. And something my have gone wrong with your rom so its worth a try and you could always go back.
Sent from my Xperia X10 using xda app-developers app
Its true that stock based ROMs r faster than the sony stock ROM.. but if it reboots randomly on stock itself, ur phone might be overheating, there might b a hardware prob, or if ur lucky something just went wrong with the installation
