I periodically find my phone in a frozen state/shut down (at least once a day or during the night)
I have the latest nightly CM9. I'm wondering if the freezes are caused by the ROM or i have some hardware problem or an rouge app or something.
Is there a way to see a log history of all processes so i could pin down what's happening just before a freeze? is there a better way to do this?
Thanks all

The biggest problem in cm9 is when you set your voltages/cpu too low, this can cause your device to lock up when turning it on again/opening lockscreen. Another problem which is usually the case is that you have a misbehaving app. The easiest way to counter these little niggles I have found is to do a complete wipe, format your sd card, format system etc, then attach sgs2 to pc via usb, mount your sd card and transfer cm9rom.zip to sd card. Only then flash your cm9 to your sd card in recovery after unmounting and disconnecting from pc of course. This lets you kind of narrow down the problem as you will know that you do not have any files/folders/apps from a previous rom install that are causing issues. I always do this when installing a rom, even if it is just a nightly update, since I used to get problems like yours, I do this now and have 98% less issues. But what I think you have most likely done is to underclock your device too greatly. Also, if you are using cpu profiles, make sure you are not setting screen off profile too low, otherwise it will most certainly freeze on open. Anyways, cover these bases and you should be golden. It is not a rom problem.

Hello
I read your suggestion and i wonder is it the solution for device freeze during app usage? I am using CM9 and during few apps usage(Waze, temple run...) suddenly the device freeze and nothing i do can unfreeze it only long press on power button, i never touch the cpu or screen settings.
Thank you

Same problem, happened twice with Waze and several other times with ynet (news) app.
Running CM9 RC2, original kernel, no tweaks.

I have same problem. Is it fixed in CM9.1?
Looks great so far. The Home launcher is much more responsive so I can do away with ADW EX for now.
Kind of wish there were more small apps, but browser, calculator and IR remote are great choices for those and they work terrifically.
What do you guys think so far?

When is 4.0.4 coming!!! :-D, so far so good on my end, seems more responsive. WIFI seems to stay on and work a lot better.

Uninstall from settings and go in as market... That fixed it for me...
The tablet was initially very laggy after the update but a reboot seemed to fix things, with the exception of the notification menu. It stutters very noticeably and is extremely annoying. Many apps also don't rotate properly anymore.
Still better than Honeycomb despiute those drawbacks.

DAMN YOU SONY!!!
Things i hate:
- this annoying wifi keepalive issue is still there!!! there is no way to keep wifi active during standby -.- damned why don't they let us users the choice... there IS an option to set the standby behavior but its still completely useless....
- sometimes there are widget issues (doesn't matter if 3rd party or preinstalled) that widgets change into editor mode when just pressing a button like update... changing screen ang going back will fix this temporarily... had this 2 times now...
- auto brigtness issue still not resolved... in low light the screen is MUCH too dark and when changing from full brightess to automatic it keeps full for a while and then goes down to min
- homescreen lag is still too much in portrait
- forced portrait is still not changable (damn i'm righthanded and want to hold it on the ROUND side when portrait is forced!!!!)
- the new ICS launcher... Sonys previous own launcher had a better overview with the sorting possibilities but ok we can have folders now...
- still no thumb keyboard -.-
things i like:
- media from SD card is now directly available and nut just for transfer... finally i have enough memory also without root and mounting stuff ^^
- the new mini-apps are nice but there is still much potential for more apps
- the new version of "Favorites" App is very nice animated and faster
- ICS possibility to deactivate system apps that are not removable... finally i get this google music player away
- a few other ICS related things...
ALL IN ALL this update is a big disappointement... they updated to ICS, integrated one or thwo new features and that's it??? all the big issues are still there since more than six months!!!!!
I have personally had a fantastic experience with the ICS update. Everything seems faster across the board. Menus more responsive, faster browser, better keyboard response/feedback. I also like the ICS look and feel and the mini apps. Really happy with the update so far.
I used to be able to DL directly to my SD Card, and using ES File Manager to move files around. Now it refuses to do so. Anyone else having this issue? If not, what file manager are you using?
My tablet seems to have gone really slow after the ICS update.
I tried a factory restore to ensure that I didnt have too many things installed and decided to start afresh. Didnt help. The tablet is still very slow. While the touch is responsive and I like the features of ICS like slide to dismiss, reading files directly from SD card etc, I definitely donot like the amount of lag I am noticing.
All my apps seem to be really really slow.
My Honeycomb seemed to be far more faster irrespective of all the issues that it had.
Any suggestions anyone?? I am on non rooted US version 16Gb Wifi.

I'm thinking of buying the sony tablet s. I've read on various reviews that this tablet's battery life is not that impressive (Honeycomb0, is that true? And btw how is the battery life after the ics update? Is there any improvement?
someone can connect tablet with PC on MTP usb
i tried many times but i couldn't
ics update
i havent played around much since the update but the little time i did spend with my tab i found it more responsive and smoother.... i am liking the ics update... dont know why others having issues but i think we should give it a couple of days so that all issues are ironed out....

On the first time, it took a while to show up as windows tried to reinstall the drivers for the tablet. Maybe you should keep it connected on USB and wait for a while and see if it shows up?

I don't understand the problems with wifi-keep-alive.There a apps in the playstore to force this. It worked well for me in Honeycomb.

The problem with that app from the market is that it keeps the device awake when you turn off the screen, and it eats through the battery.
On the Android phones I've used (Legend, Desire, Arc S), the WiFi remained connected, but the phone also went to sleep, battery drain was minimal.
This is the behaviour we were expecting to see in the ICS update, but unfortunately it hasn't been fixed...
Hey, i have a 3g tablet, because that i have to wait for upgrading.
But i have an important question for hifi guys: What is with the IR-Remote app...
Are there any changes to the App on Honeycomb?
I bought the tablet for controlling my homecinema an know i want to know if we get makros in the IR-Remote app?
pls check it and give a response to me
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.

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.
Absolutely stock Android. Very svelte set of installed apps, not rooted. I continually run out memory (Chrome throws an error at the bottom of the screen indicating that not enough memory was available to perform the task) and performance slows to a crawl.
Am I the only one? If not, what solution has been found for this?

I believe there is a memory leak in 5.0-5.0.1, I heard its been fixed in 5.1 So might as well reboot ever so often to relieve the issue temporarily or flash a 5.1 rom if you can't stand it.

Nope, Sony have managed to fix the leak in 5.0.2.
Low memory is the case of bad memory managment, really, it is terrible. You can disable some of the apps which you don't use in settings but do it with caution.
Regards
Simple. Close Chrome pages that is not used for a while. The biggest memory hog in Android is the Chrome. With any other app the issue happened far less often.
I know the issue memory leak should not happen, however same thing happen to me when im playing game, its close suddenly. stock kitkat and stock lolipop
however it did not happen in cm12.1 based rom... this indicate sony bundle app, eat too much memory. lol
Hi guys,
Im on .242 android 5.0.2 stock rooted with xposed. I already have Lollipop Memory Leak Fix installed and it seems to help in making the phone not lag, but launchers still redraw often. I tried Nova and also Xperia home and both redraws a lot. I know that Nova has agreesive desktop mode but it doesn't help much. Sometimes it seems to keep it from killed but the home button still has long delay when the launcher wants to redraw.
Do you guys also have this issue? I thought memory leak fix would fix launcher redraw as well. Any help would be appreciated.

Sorry to disappoint you, but you can uninstall the fixer app because Sony has fixed the leak in their firmwares. Sony apps and services, as well as some Google ones are big RAM hoggers, you can disable some of them.

Thanks for reply! Are you sure Sony fixed it? I was having major lag issues and sometime random reboots. Right after reboot, it was fine, then after a few hours, the phone started lagging. After installing the fixer, it doesn't lag at all now, and it's pretty consistent. But the only thing is, the launcher keeps redrawing. Pretty often.
Yup, 100% sure, there is a thread in Cross-dev section where @IaguCool compared some smali files and it turned out that Sony has fixed it.

Apparently what sony did is just implemented that fix you just installed. So you doesn't have to Install it again, it's pointless...it doesn't fix the ram and redraw issues...it happen to every lollipop rom not just sony. I think the fix will be in 5.1....if your in 5.0, chances are you have to wait for the real fix...
So I don't understand. If its already fixed, why is my launchers keep redrawing?? Its driving me crazy ? if I reboot, no redraw for about 10 hours maybe, then redraw starts again, when exiting every few apps.
Could anyone please let me know how to stop launcher redraw?

Have you performed a hard reset before or after the lollipop update?
I followed the same advice after experiencing the same issues, I unlocked the bootloader so that it automatically did a hard reset deleting everything on internal memory, and it's been a new phone altogether.
Redraws sometimes happen with Chrome or apps that demand huge ram, but like 1/20th of the times.
No random reboots so far, it seems the right solution.
Just backup everything on the external memory and go back to factory settings.
You'll notice the difference right away.
