Are you on MH2? Did it also happen on MH1? If not flash back and try it, maybe MH1 is better?

Sorry I should have specified. I have the AT&T version, SGH-i527, running stock..

I think I found the problem. I disabled syncing Google Photos and its better now..

Super Clean D101 Fc Errors

just wanted to report, I just installed the rom and did a wipe data and cache, everything went fine, restored my apps using titanium backup, but I got the fc force close as soon as I started the phone to sign in to my google account, when I signed to twitter, I got the fcs, I went to rom manager and did the fix permissions, rebooted but it keeps doing the fcs, I will give it some time to see, but it does not appear to affect anything, I just press force close and everyting goes well, I did a full benchmark, and it gives me 800, before I was at 2000 with the lag fix, I dont know if I want to keep this rom with the bloatware remove but sacrifice the speed and be bugged with the force close issue, I think I will wait for a more stable rom.
Did you clear the dilvak cache?

boot into cwm recovery.. under advanced...
with that said... WTF is it? lol. ive been having some fc issues myself... running the clean 0.1 and get fc's during navigaton and from time to time.. seems like when its syncing.
EDIT: Also, dont rely too much on those quadrant scores.. there has been some debate as to the validity of those scores.
look at those scores closer, the only difference is the I/O speed which atm isn't showing a major speed difference unless you have like ten apps open. the cpu speeds and stuff are all the same, plus all the fcs are already being talked about in the roms thread

I was having force closes as well, but not anymore, I've heard if you wipe format, clear cache, clear davlik, do all that three times... Then once rom installed, install it again immediately after reboot you should have a solid install ... I don't know the science behind it, but my rom has been running pretty solid with no fcs.

i did clean the delvick cache, and it still does the fcs
i applied the zip from this thread..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=793479
and its behaving... though i was really only having problems after running my navi for more than 30min... guess ill see in the next hour or so if it cleared that up...
on the plus side.. i got my puzzle slide lock screen back... yeah i got some "garbage" back too... but i think maybe we need some of it to remain stable
I turned my calendar sync off and all is well.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Yeah I was going to say. Disable the calendar synch featurea for Google, Facebook, Exchange, and anything else you might have under accounts and you'll be fine. It FCs because the calendar app is being accessed but it isn't there.
I just went back to using Google Calendar online. That's what I did with my Eris cuz the stock calendar sucked so much. The Samsung calendar app was perfect. I can live without it though.

ok i will try that and report back
yes, it is fixed, i disabled the sync feature an d no more issues, thankz, im happy now

[Q] Few general questiones

1. What would you recommend as a good client for the PC for transfering files via Bluetooth? i mean somthing better then the built in Win 7 client.
2. Recently i discoverd QuickPic which is absolutly much better then stock Gallery in terms of customization. but the weird thing is that everybody claims it loads pics much faster then the Gallery while every time i load it, it takes a second the get the sharpness right, even though this is the 20 time i load the same pic. im talking about a "second" that you will notice! i tried everything to fix this including uninstalling and reinstalling the app, clearing cache, moving the files from the external SD to the internal, formating and changing rom's and its still the same though no one else ever mentioned that problem..is it just with me? i wouldnt want to give up QuickPic so fast..also, any other gallery i tried does not have that delay effect for fixing the sharpness. please advice what could be the problem.
Im on litening ROM v4.2 if thats matter.
Thanks!!
Any help?
No help? ):

Hi. In respect of point 2 I also use QuickPic and have the same 1sec sharpness adjustment. Not sure if its an actual bug though.

Force Close problems.

I am running jt1134's Vanilla GB. The problem started this morning. I woke up and checked my phone and it was stuck on the scrolling ANDROID screen. So I tried pulling the battery to no avail. I then wiped everything and rebooted and it worked. It first FC'd Android itself so I restarted. Then it worked fine. Except now it will FC things like Yahoo Messanger, GMail, Angry Birds Rio a Swype keyboard and possibly a few other things. It is really annoying to say the least.
So does anyone have any idea on how to get this thing back on track? If not, does someone have a suggestion for a different ROM that is more stable, but hopefully still Vanilla GB. I do plan on moving to ICS when it is GTG. Thank you for any input.
Clear app cache...your datadata folder is probably full
How do I clear the app cache?
Ng cache cleaner from market.
I fixed the problem by putting PW on it. It's ok. PW does have much better battery life. But I don't like the fuzzy interface. I tried to get CM7 working but our just kept failing on me. If anyone has a sure fire way to make it work let me know.

Again, You can either try clearing app cache, delete some apps, or go to rootzwiki and look up jt's fix for it.

Confirmed temporary solution to game freezing and browser/system lag. Video Added!

Hey guys. I believe that the os21 update has a bad memory leak/background processing management(besides a kernal issue). When playing heavy 3d games like Nova 3 or Sonic, the framerates are really slow or stutter a lot until the games force-close. Well, for the past 2 days, I have not had this issue, both Nova 3 and Sonic play with no stuttering at all, and I have not experienced any more game crashes. My browser also seems much smoother. Please try the two fix options listed below, while noting that the 2nd option seems to work best with mass Efeect, and less "strict" on runnig processes than the first option:
Fix #1- What I did was push the soft reset button on the Prime (using a small paperclip), then waited for the Prime to reboot. Once it rebooted, DO NOT let the Prime load up anything, just immediately go into settings, developer options, select the kill all activities option, then for background processes, select "at most 1 process only" Delete all of your running task managers/task widgets an that's it. Now all of my games run, no crashes, and the framerates for Nova 3 and Sonic is MUCH better.
Fix# 2 - For those still having issues with Mass Effect, this alternate setting will definitely fix the problem. After soft rebooting, go into development settings, and then for background processes, select "at most 1 process only" and DO NOT select kill all processes after leaving them. This setting has been confirmed to fix the Mass Effect issue, as well as all other games while still keeping the Prime running a lot smoother.
Please try using the exact instructions that I have posted, and let me know if this works for you guys. If so, then it proves that the os21 has a memory management issue which is causing all the current issues we are having.
Also, I would like to share this post from Jaycustom, whom has also been using this method for a few days now and enjoying it more than myself lol. He ran a CPU test to test the differences before and after my fix. See his results below:
Default settings said I had about 19 user/ 29 system processes running.
Dev settings gave me 14 user/ 11 system processes running.
Default settings for system memory 600+mb used/300+ free
Dev settings for system memory 300+ used/600+ free
The memory usage was pretty much exactly reversed! So I assume this is where most, but not all, of the performance boost comes from. CPU usage was also lower, not by much though.
See the video that I made (link below)showing me using the default browser, which is now really fast and stable using this method. I also ran Mass Effect 3 and Nova 3 to show that I have no issues playing these games anymore. I used a Samsung Galaxy tab to record, so please re-frame from laughing at the quality of the vid lol! If you guys would like me to try more games/apps, please let me know.

Sorry to hear that it didnt work for you, but it seems to have resolved the issue for me entirely. I am not exeriencing any more gam crashes or white flashing screens. Are you sure that you followed the stes listed? Waiting for others to rely, but either my Prime just decided to play all my games correctly, or this is "fix" is working for me.
This is not an acceptable fix, it is only a workaround.

Yes I agree 100%, but it works. At least we can play some of our games/browse without issue until the fix comes out. Did you try it, and did it work for you?

I'll have to try this out tonight. To clarify, when you say "do not let it load up anything", do you just mean go into the settings as soon as possible and kill things? It must start running services as soon as it boots, no? I guess this just minimizes the "damage"?
Hi, I've just tried this and it doesn't seem to have had much of an effect I'm afraid.
In the last 10 mins I've still had two spontaneous browser shutdowns, plus crappy streaming video playback from sites such as bbc iplayer.
The pages seem to load a little faster and scrolling may be a touch smoother but thats about it the best I can say.
This solution works well for me. I have been doing this for some time, except I have limited the processes to three. Limiting it to one seems to improve it even better. Widgets seem also to be a drain on the resources and limiting those works well for me. Much thanks for the post.
You might also try this solution from here post #118 :

It seems to have worked for me, I've only had one reboot since. It's at least worth a try. Good luck.

yes exactly.. this is the way it worked for me. Just immediately go into setting, and select the options that i listed. This will only allow the essential programs to run. Please let me know if this works for you. Also, switch the prime to performance for graphic heavy games. Still testing this, but so far I have not have any crashes since applying.

Thanks for confirm this. Yes, my Prime is no longer lagging when browsing or crashing during gameplay..the difference is honestly night and day. Just confirms for me that .21 is not handling the background processes, or closing them correctly.

Hey, do you happen to have the sticky player app installed by any chance?
No I've never used sticky player app.
I've been toying with the idea of factory resetting and trying this. I'll see how it goes tonight

you shouldn't have to factory reset, that would suck
Can you try the soft reset option again? Once it's done, update the setting as listed and try the Prime on performance mode. If that doesn't help, then you may have a bad app which is hogging on your resources and causing the slowdown/crashes.
This procedure also seems to improve on the strength of the Wi-Fi signal. At least on mine it does.

Maybe it's just because the Prime is loading pages a lot faster because there aren't so many things running in the background now. it would be cool though if this also fixed wifi, maybe someone should do a speed test for before and after the fix?
I just tried the default browser again. It does not lag/stutter when scrolling through the pages anywhere near like it used to. it's not as smooth as opera mini, but it's a LOT better than before. Still no game crashes at all since doing this. I can post vids for anyone who would like to see proof after work.

I was gonna do one anyway, just to start from scratch with a blank slate and get it set up how I want it!
After resetting, and before any apps are downloaded the browser is working much much better once the settings you recommend are applied. Loading and scrolling is faster and there have been no force closes or video hangups.
Cheers, I look forward to this .28 update but thats helped me out a lot in the meantime!

Great to hear! yes, my Prime seems much quicker with touch inputs, scrolling, gaming and web browsing. Must of been a bad memory issue along with the kernel for .21.
just did this ans seems to work very well. i was getting around 12-15mbs and now im getting 32mbs in the garage with only 1 bar. im very happy with that. thanks for sharing.

[Q] why is the tablet so laggy (fixed)

Did you do a full wipe (not just factory reset)? Are you overclocked or undervolted?
Also what ROM are you on, some older ones don't have the best drivers...

Latest nightly cm9
Update it did full wipe and formate system. Put it on and install rohan tweaks and dpi 132.
And works for now... but browser still same went on a site and ping gone browser... re open it. No restore tabs or some thing.... it not cool on some sites hw does that....
The only way I managed to get decent video performance was buying Chainfire 3D and enabling the EGL drivers (yu need the purchase version for EGL.)
Aren't the Rohan tweaks outdated for use with the most current CM9 Nighlies?
and maybe i wil buy other tablet
If the nexus 7 comes for 100euro i buy one.... because like i saw in other thread. The touchpad isnt smooth..... not for me atleast. Webos was good but yeah im a gamer so webos got bored with 20games....
But yeah. I would only buy the nexus if it goes for100 euro. 200 to much for me and to much for something without hdmi or sd or even 32gb and 7" screen.
But yeah... and the touchpad is heavy after somw time in your hands... 700gr is a lot... to hold hole day..

I would try doing it clean once and install one of these games clean from the Store, and see if it still lags. At least that will help diagnose your problem. I've played several shooters without major lags on mine.

Try backing up and doing a clean flash. See if it's still slow. If it is, it's probably some app in the background or some app misbehaving.

It can be that.
I just did a fresh install from OaTs LnT to the latest nightly and I do notice the lag when swiping on the home screen (using Apex). Everything else works fine though, so far. However now that I think about it I reinstalled Apex plus data through Titanium BU, gonna try a fresh install to see.

Apex Launcher version 1.3.0 and newer lags on the touchpad. I reverted to an older version (1.2.5), things are silky smooth.
