faulty apps can often be fixed by clearing its data in settings - apps - click on whatsapp - delete data and cache
look how it works without restoring your conversations.
keep your backup in case it does not work.

[Q] Lagging in Message app and while typing

Hey guys, my Hero just started lagging with FroydVillain 16.xx version. First of all I thought this was just too many programs, or something like that, so I decided to wipe my phone and install new CM version. But then I got error for wipine an ext. I was suggested try wipe ext via ADB, but nothing happend neither. So I just installed the ROM anyway.
Everything was working, but after couple days it started lagging again. The most sensible feeling with SMS's. Then I'm opening new SMS from notification's bar, it takes forever to show me the text. The same with conversations list in Message application. There is also a lag while typing (AnySoftKeyboard with Lithuanian Keyboard).
The same happend today after reinstalling FroydVillain 17.2 with new RA_Hero 17 recovery. Installion was made yesterday. Now I have ~100 SMS's, if it has anything in common.
Any ideas, guys?
This is my apps' list: appbrain.com/user/karolism/
Well for me if I don't restart my phone every few days it slows down, are you overclocked? if not it might help, also some applications might not close properly and drain battery and other resources and lastly the Hero was built with old technology when it was new (I read this somewhere a while after I got my phone but I could be wrong).
Thank you for the reply. Could you tell me more about overclocking? I'm new at this.

[Q] ICS and Viber

Hi,
I found out that the voice call is now very low as compared to GB. I can hardly hear even though I increased the volume.
Another thing is, I am not sure if it's just cosmetic bug, if I go to call log in viber, I would see duplicated name, eg John Doe, John Doe, whilst in GB it works just fine.
I have tried to reinstall viber and still the same.
Anyone having the same issue?
have u wiped all ur data before flash or u used to update using pc companion?
I use flashtool and the wipe user data is ticked.
I do not do factory reset after flash as I think both of them are actually the same.
Did I do it wrong?

Can you check if the recent call list has duplicated entry? It's like
John Doe, John Doe
Alex, Alex
Bob, Bob
when it should be only
John Doe
Alex
Bob
I don't have this issue in GB, guess I have to try factory reset.
My Viber app is working fine in ICS call volume about the same, contact list is okay too.
recent did have duplicate name several times.
I upgrade to ICS using flashtool using wipe data. I didn't do the factory reset after and I thought that could be the culprit.
Now I have done the factory reset and viber still behave the same.
Noticeable lowered call volume (still ok if we stay in quiet environment), ear piece get hot much faster and duplicated recent (I think cosmestic bug). But then, it is still useable.
Now great, as an extra, I have all my sdcard content wiped If any kind soul to upload me the content that would be great, those demo videos, photos, mp3.
Viber
Hi,
This is a member of the Viber R&D Team!
Viber supports ICS on Samsung Galaxy Nexus and Samsung Nexus S Any other device with ICS is considered Altered, or Customized ROM.
Our recommendations to you would be to either uninstall and reinstall Viber, or to find the proper customization which works best with Viber. Of course, returning your device back to it's original settings is the best option for compatibility.
If you have any questions we'd be happy to assist.
Thank you,

I'm using REMICS ROM (android 4.0.4 based on CM9) for my Galaxy SL. Cannot add Viber account into Account & Sync, so Viber cannot sync my contacts to show my friends who using Viber. What's happening?
Viber eats a lot of background memory on my ICS plus i am having problem where i cant send pictures over unless its not taken at the xact moment. It was a lovely app but with every upgrade its breaking into pieces..It needs some fix
@duongtunglam -
Please note that at this stage we don't officially support custom ROMs with Viber. Running Viber on a custom ROM results in various side effects (sometimes total lack of functionality), but we can't afford to support all custom ROMs out there. We are continuously working to adapt Viber to more and more ROMS, but meanwhile - you might want to contact the ROM developer for further support - they may be able to resolve this issue.
@ashqmallik -
We couldn't quite understand the problem with the sending of the pictures... could you elaborate on that please?
About the battery issue: please make sure that Viber is the cause for the battery drain by isolating Viber (having no other apps running) on a device with stock ROM (custom ROMs may cause this problem).
We conduct strict testings in our labs with several devices and other than when making a call (when it is natural for the battery to be used), we did not come across any significant battery drain when Viber was simply running in the background. Furthermore, over the course of over 15 hours, on average the battery use was only 2%.
You can find additional information on tests performed by Viber users themselves, which show similar results, at:

S5830i Nearly full Ram Usage All The Time

For a few months at least now my galaxy ace has been having numerous problems - The main one being that most times when I receive a text I'll get it 3 or 4 times. I put up with that for quite a while, thinking it might just go away - I was wrong! After trying a few things that didn't work I decided to flash onto a different rom... whilst that seemed to work I started having other issues with the phone, until at one point it wouldn't accept my passcode so I couldn't get onto the phone, and so I did a reset, which fixed that issue. But after that I soon reverted back to the stock rom to avoid it happening again, and I have the same issue again where I receive texts multiple times, but over the past couple of days I also find it nearly impossible to write a text message! I'll press on the typing area, and when I type nothing appears... I fixed this in the end by downloading a task manager and killing just about everything - at which point it types (so I've established that it's down to the RAM usage) now the weird aspect I've found with my RAM is that despite nothing running it never goes below 200MB in use out of the 290MB.... Surely that isn't right? My phone runs incredibly slowly no matter what is happening and it's driving me crazy!
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I regret buying this phone so much now, but can't afford a new one at the moment
If you don't care about your data like sms, and are able to reinstall all ypur apps (use titanium backup for example), flash a new rom or the same if you want. It should be really faster, and then take care of your phone, restart it every one or two days to clean cache, don't install too many apps, our phone is not made for intensive use.
Hit thanks !

Hi, I'm backing up at the moment - Do you think it'd cause the issue again if I also back up/restore my data as well as the apps?
I'm backing up now, so I'll let you know how it goes!
Thanks :fingers-crossed:
I think it would be better to not restore all datas, only those that you need (game data and stuff like that) but not all system data. For contact sync with google, for sms use sms backup, but don t restore everything !
Hit thanks !
Send from my s5830i.
That seems to have helped with the texting issue! Thanks, hopefully it won't come back again in a few days!
ram usage above 200 is i think normal...
i have 40-45 apps installed on the phone..and ram usage is always just around 200 mb..
but still my phone runs very smooth..
if u want lesser ram usage, i suggest u should use an app called autorun manager and block some apps which constantly runs in the background..!!
Sent from my GT-S5830i using xda app-developers app
Yup it's normal
Mine was 230 all the time before using rafael kernel with domscript supercharger and crossbreeder entropy generator and now
It's 170
It's normal don't worry
Otherwise install the above things like I have done

Delayed, or non, live notifications

Hello all,
I have used my LeECo max 2 for about a month. In the beginning, before I updated to S17 from S14, I didn't have any problems with notifications. After the upgrade I have a serious problem with live notifications. Apps like WhatsApp, Gmail, Messenger, Skype, and more, might show messages immediately, with a short or long delay (min and sometimes hours), and not even show anything until I reopen the app. I made sure that the wanted apps have permission to run when the phone boots up and add them to the app protection list in the battery menu. I found out that S19 was just released a few days ago (leaked) and I had to try it to see if it solved the problem, which it didn't. I even tried to install 'heartbeat fixer' and 'notification fixer', which didn't really helped.
I really enjoy this phone, but I can't take it anymore. I can't get late email and messages, and I don't want to reopen the apps to make sure to not miss any important messages.
Did anyone had that problem and was able to solve it?
Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Thank you
same happened to me and i also spent way to much time trying to fix it, so I changed to cm13 rom
Do you know if I can install the latest twrp after upgrading to s19?

Whatsapp getting killed, other apps too

Hello, guys,
I have had Redmi Note 3 for 6 months now and I have been struggling with an annoying issue.
Whatsapp gets killed after a little time of idleness and unless I kill it in the task manager and restart it, I cannot either receive or send messages. When I check in the running apps section, it is not there so the OS certainly kills it. And just clicking its icon on the desktop, opens the GUI but it does not work unless I force close it and re-open it.
I have had issues with Whatsapp on previous devices - more of the common stuff - delayed notifications, messy push service. This is something else.
MIUI 8 is notorious, it seems, for its RAM and Battery management killing apps and I often struggle with that, too. For example: I minimize VLC to open Firefox. I switch back to VLC - ok, the movie starts over, the app has been killed. This is really annoying and I have turned off all kinds of optimization to prevent it, with no success. I am not sure, though, that it is connected to the Whatsapp issue. Because Whatsapp seems to get killed when the phone is idle for a moment but not when switching between apps.
I rarely use Viber but I think the situation there is the same. I sent a message to a friend and I got no response. I opened the app 5 days later and the response came However, it had tried to arrive 2 minutes after my original message. But I had not opened Viber for 5 days, so...that happened.
Let me know if you need details about my settings. I would be really grateful if someone can share some insight on what might the issue be. I guess if I root the phone I can try and locate the culprit module that kills apps. Maybe edit a config file to disable the killing functionality. It is clear this ROM does not like running apps....
Thanks,
Kiril Ekblad
P.S. I have been on Google multiple times: nobody seems to have that issue.
Disable battery saver
developer options -> disalbe MIUI optimization
MIUI is way to aggressive in killing apps ....
maybe go for a custom rom?
You can follow this https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...de-redmi-note-3-sd-mtk-multi-tasking-t3358433 and see how it`s going with push up notification.
When i`ve used miui 8, i`ve done this things and it seems to work good, but anyway push up notification came with a small delay..
For this reason i left miui 8 (very bad ram management) and flashed nougat custom rom and everything working good
Thank you, all
I have actually tried all of these and all steps in the quoted topic. No difference whatsoever. I would gladly go for a custom ROM bit things have gotten really complicated lately. A coupke of yeara aho I would easily grab and flash a custom ROM. Now when I browse through the ROMs topics here I get frustrates.
Something about firmwares, stuck bootloaders I have no idea where to start.
Oh and I don't want to lose slow motoon and time lapse videos. Do you know of a custom ROM that supports them ans the stock one does?

Try clean flash of MIUI ROM or flash Epic / Xiaomi.eu ROM
Thanks, I will have to research on the EPIC/EU ROM.
I am all for changing the ROM as long as I can cope with the flashing and I do not lose any of the significant features of the stock ROM.
By the way, recently - the last several days - I have noticed that on multiple occasions Whatsapp seems to be running - it is showing in the Running apps and still the program cannot either receive or send until I force close it and re-start. Whatsapp web also says Phone not connected.
