Good day everyone
Phone: Sony Ericsson Experia Neo V
Android Version: 4.0.4
Model number: MT11i
here's the problem, everything i do is always or sudden lag or freezing
like when i swipe its so lag, when i play games the sound is not working properly because of lag
and the worst case is like freezing for like 30sec or a min.
what i did try but didnt work:
Factory data reset ( it improve but still didnt fix the sudden lag)
so what should i do guys? i search in google and some results say that i should go back to lower android version
also what are good apps that helps improve performance?
ALSO i tried clean master and my ram usage is 57%? i closed all the apps and games that is running in background still not fix
guys with a good heart please help a poor fellow like me this is only my phone and i cant change it
thanks in advance
you should downgrade to 2.3.4 version. follow a tutorial for how to do that using flashtool and .ftf files. 4.0.4 (ics) is to .heavy for this phone. i have the same but i stay with ics cause i have it for backup phone. on 2.3.4 version some game may be not compatible. you can also use a custom kernel but the lag remains

Hello,
I have a x10i..
I wanted to try out different ROM hence used the tutorial available here (in the forum) to ROOT the device and install different ROM versions along with baseband and as such things..
Finally, I wanted to revert back to my default Sony given ROM..
Whats the official (Sony) process to restore or rather install the default SE ROM (that 2.1 android) ??
I tried that Sony PC Suite phone repair, but after restoration, with the default ROM, my device is not running smooth.. I dont have any apps installed apart from the default things which came after the phone repair, but still the phone is running dam slow and sluggish..
How can I get the performance issue solved ?? Did I missed anything in restoration process ?? (using the sony pc suite repair phone option) ??
I am really unhappy with this sluggishness so i am thinking that I must have done something wrong in the restoration process...
Any help would be appreciable..
Thanks
dude, the stock SE 2.1 is a slow and unsmooth rom.... it is lack in prformance.... theres a lot of 2.1 custom rom that performs better than the stock SE rom.. if u want a fast n smooth rom without any functionality lost... u should consider to usem them.... it is basically sooo laggy with the SE stock rom..... just so tht u know.....

If you have tons of apps downloaded and a whole bunch running all the time, your bound to see a hit in performance.
There's a few certain apps that i found to be just a hog in my performance
ie: timescape, face recognition, learning client to name a few.
I have taken my stock 2.1, rooted it and installed JIT...wiped a WHOLE bunch of useless apps, and my stock 2.1 is NOT by any means sluggish or laggy.
I consider it my own custom rom
Anyways, if you have root access, search for the threads for apps to delete to speed up your phone.
ps. after you reinstall the stock 2.1 from seus or pc companion, your device will be slower as it needs to build it all up again. So, in other words whenever you flash a new ROM or reflash stock 2.1 you have to give your phone time to get up and running full speed.

Ok.. I would wait.. may be this is what i needed to know.
I am using the stock rom and it runs smoothly enough I got jit enabler running, link2sd and sysctl config o get around 34k with linpack. Before rooting i had about 6-8 so major improvement. Used other roms aswell but if cam , wifi tethering isnt working proppetly on Custom roms then ill stick to my 2.1 tweaked rom

I bought my Ace week ago .. I wasn't aware of the Jargon used in the forums now i think i m getting hang of it .. So let me know i have correct understanding of that jargon as i am planning to flash my phone with the latest fw version and gonna root it as well (wanna be a little adventurous with my phone .. hope i dont mess it ) I want to know the benefits of rooting and upgrading to 2.3.4 .. The benefits i know is that u can install new applications on SD card which will save up internal memory and make it a little faster .. Video recording at higher resolution .. What else ? Let me know about the issues faced by you guys for upgrading it to the latest fw .. Heard there is some delay at screen lock .. And if i upgrade the firmware does it format my phone memory or memory card ? if not then will it affect the existing applications and how will i save up the internal memory eaten up by existing applications .. Should also let you guys know that i did a firmware upgrade via Kies coupla days back which prompted as done successfully but still it shows up the same 2.2.1 .. So i wanted to know was there any problem with the upgrade or it was some other firmware upgrade not related to Gingerbread upgrade? Sorry for asking too many questions
Upgrading to 2.3.4 will unfortunately remove your applications but wont format your SD Card. 2.3.4 is a lot faster then in froyo (2.2.1). The only problem is the lock screen delay. The clock at the lock screens font is different and the copy and paste is better. New download app to manage your downloads. Improved power management and app control. New icons on status bar. Thats what I can think of.

yup, with leaked gingerbread 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 (including custom roms based on both) there will be lag at lockscreen

i think flashing will just format ur internal memory, not ur sdcard. but it always a good practice to backup ur whole data. better to be safe than sorry.

check ur baseband version, maybe just changed there but not android version.
i dont feel any lag screen delay, infact i installed adw launcher and still no lags at all.
You should try upgrading and rooting your phone. If you feel uncomfortable, then you can flash back your old fw, it takes only 5 mins!

Im taking a wild guess by your username that you are Danish, if so there is a upgrade to 2.3.3 wich is right for your country code, it should be available now via KIES with this upgrade you wont loose any apps allready installed on the phone if you cannot receive it via KIES you can also grab it and install it manually with the one-package method in ODIN.
Intersting i think ill be doing the upgrading and rooting after i get some instruction from you guys .. My baseband version is S5830JXKC1 .. Sam fit says region unknown and in tutorial on how to flash samsung ace the firmware written S5830XXKPH is European .. So would it be fine if i flash that firmware ? And let me know which firmware is more stable and faster 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 ? @albert thats my name .. am from Pakistan and there ve been no 2.3.3 updates..I just want to improve my Ace performance as i find it sluggish sometimes which maybe due to internal memory eaten up by applications .. Rooting will allow me install applications on SD card right ? And how do i make up a backup for my existing stock 2.2.1 to be on safe side .. its not rooted
yes.. rooting combined with link2sd, or with darktremore a2sd should be good for you
and to backup ur froyo, read this
Okay so finally i flashed to 2.3.4 XXKPH and rooted my phone using hubix's tutorial (excellent guide for newbies) . I formatted my sd card as well after rooting my phone .. So atm my phone is completely empty because i wanted some guidance from you guys to make sure every application i install now on my phone goes directly to my sd card instead of internal phone memroy .. Secondly can any one explain me what are ROMS ? Do we follow the same procedure for flashing roms as was explained in hubix's tutorial ? Does it clean up internal phone memory if we flash any rom ?

I just saw I9100XXLPH 4.0.3 on samfimreware ..

I doubt there is any significant changes. Samsung still keeps introducing bugs and bloatware.

I see in your signature that you are using 2.3.6 and also ICS ..
if so what is the most recent and stable version you could recommend to me in both
2.3.6 and ICS 4.0.3 and of course not the stock ones I love custom ROMs

Go for 2.3.6 GB as that is more stable than any ICS out there at the moment. If you go to CM9 you will find it is stable enough to use as a daily driver but you have a few minor details missing. Like video recording, usb storage (or mount storage something like that) youtube not working and any flash player not working properly as they need kernel sources for that.
So flash a 2.3.6 rom flash the new ICS theme and your good to go

Yeah im on LPB and i get instabilities everyday, though not to a serious extent. I would still recommend using the gingerbread ROMs for now until the official final versions of the ICS ROMs are out in march. Less than a month more. Just bear with it!
There is already a couple of quite detailed threads on this subject in general.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
I guess you guys are right 2.3.6 is far more stable ..
I have tried ICS 4.0.3 before and it is full of bugs from time to time force close most of apps and get battery life shorter and shorter
one more thing to ask is the CPU speed of S2 increases due to usage because I installed android assistant and got it current speed as 800mhz is this normal ..
or I have to increase it manually ?
ive heard resurrection rom is pretty stable, havent tried it since LP6 and back then the battery overheated and it lasted nothing. Then i tried wanamlite on LPB and didnt quite work for me so i went on wanamlite LP6 v7.7 and its pretty stable but still had couple of bugs and fc's. im feeling tempted to try LPH and i will do it tomorrow
as for GB 2.3.6 stock worked great for me but missed the ICS interface, on GB ive heard checkrom v4 is pretty damn god, didnt work for me due to battery but oh well i didnt quite tweak stuff to make it go longer
as for you frequency question if you want to undervolt it you need a kernel that allows you do to so and then use the setcpu app on market, it should be on 1.2ghz on stock. To verify your frequency i suggest using cpuspy app on market so you can verify the same
hope it helps you mate
cheers
Could give me link the most stable 2.3.6

If you're referring to the above link then its probably neither, looks like a stock ROM to me.
Btw, it helps to quote posts in your replies.

sorry mate I'm new here ..
since I9100XXLPB touchwiz is going worst, i switch to nova launcher which run flawlessly.
- APN configuration are not lost
- samsung software update bug going since LP2 have been removed
- little improvment in battery life
- still a few FC but going better and better, perfectly usable for every life
- i have a few bug with winamp since I9100XXLP2
- don't now if it's linked to rom or if i made something, but since LPB i can't install any apps on SD card
- 3G is better, seem easier to find connection
I tried both LPB and LPH ICS roms. The current ICS roms are good and constantly getting better, but are a still a little too buggy for me. One thing's for sure, I had constant wifi disconnects using the lph modem. In the end I went back to KL1 modem which works flawlessly for me.

Hello
Dude using flashtool, flashback to the original software ....that is android 4.04 released by Sony recently or Gingerbread ..I think it might b bcoz of different kernels u use ...u need somewhat compatible kernels with other ROMS ..to work smoothly and more perfectly
I used the flashtool still it doesnt work
N not only ics rom bt gb roms aswell
For the kernels i use only night elfes or stock
For testing purpose i had used allaince kernel pwnkernel

Same as with everything what you use daily, of course it is wearing out.
In the short run no, but in long run, most likely.
@madfish changed the title...........
bt is it possible to degrade the nand memory ??
can i restore it again????
Good post
Even I was worried about the same thing. But I come to know that these flash memories have around 100,000 program erases or P/E cycles. So if you have reached that count of erases then you have a reason to worry, but before that I don't think your problem is anything related to the Flash memory of your phone.
but then how do i solve my cells problem??
it lags like hell if i try to use oder than stock roms............
i wanna try aosp aokp ka cm7&9 miui n ol d oder roms
bt i cant try them dey ol lag alot bt for oder users it works well.....
giv some possible solution ny1???
what baseband do you have?
everything has a R/W limit cycle. If you were having problems I think you should have got some reading errors, write errors or "BSOD"like errors caused by memory not beeing able to perform reads or writes. Anyways if 1 rom performs normal and others are really slow there is a problem with the rom not the phone...I think
still the same rom wic doesnt work for me works perfectly for oders..........
cm7 works flawless for oders bt for it lags..........

I quote you 100%
You can read also here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_memory#Limitations
Frequent flashing
As per my knowledge all the software's we install also uses ROM (Nand memory) for installation.
If frequent flashing harm nand memory, then frequent installation and uninstall of software's should also harm Nand memory.
Some one clarify please.
I disagree, the Nand memories are designed for constant read-write capabilities so flashing ROMs again n again won't make a big difference. Though overtime, it may result in bad sectors.

1.Gb is more stable than ics,and gaming etc is better on gb
2.the latest gingebread version for our phones is 2.3.4
3.Rooting shouldnt be a problem,there are a lot of tools in development section
4.If you want ics custom rom try real ics r5.2 it was the best for me, when you want gingerbread try my rom (signaature)hasa rom by sandy07,or nerodroid
Note:To install custom roms you will have to unlock your bootloader and flash kernel manually (This will void garanty,i think in samsung the kernel flashes automaticly in CWM) But there are also custom roms that can be installed on locked bootloader my rom,hasa gb,real ics etc
Hope i helped you

You can install a custom Rom,just unlock bootloader wich will void guarantee but you can also relock it and you can use Roms that work on locked bootloader,Real Ics is a very great Rom,its stable and much faster than stock Rom,

I'll try to answer it, hope can help you
1. GB is more stable, more efficient on battery, good for gaming.. but it's ok too if you want to upgrade it to ICS, actually it's stable and good though GB is a bit better.. if you want more rocks on ICS then do some tweaks or use Custom kernel and ROM
Issues just lag on your phone but it just a little bit and if you try to use phone like a monster device(?)
2. Latest GB from Google is 2.3.7, but on Ray (Official Sony) 2.3.4
3. No .. there too many ways and awsome people will break up the shadow!
4. The Best ROM.. everyone have different experience for use their phone and CusROM also offer different advantages, so it's all back to you again..
Tips from me , if u want use CusROM for daily use then choose ROM wif minimal bugs or NO BUG..
That's from me, thanks

as of my experience:
1. Yes ics is really brilliant but and has a smoother web broeser than gb. however its main issues are you just cant play some games on it as well as its a real pain for hd graphical games to play , might cause serious lags fcs in games. for such reasons i rolled back to gb.
2.ics can handle certain things faster than gb but as we know Xperia 2011 series are now classified as low range phones.because they've got single core 1 ghz with 210/512 mb ram which is only meant for gb only.
rooting is not a big issue once you've rooted ur phone the rest is like a butter. latest official rom is 2.3.4
3 for thhe custom rom 2.3.7 is best.
4. you'd better buy Galaxy Ace2( Dual core processor .and 750 mb of ram space its a good device for ics and gaming (which sported by mali gpu 400.:good:

btw where can i download official ICS? because i read on the net that clean install of ICS is recommended the problem on ICS is lesser than upgrading to ICS.
btw how do i clean install official ics? just preparing all i need to do when i bought the phone.

thanks for suggesting me better phone but i can't aford it and i already decided that ill choose xperia ray and someone said that it can play every single hd games and its cheap. if im going to buy too expensive phone just for gaming,i rather buy ps vita and be contented on my super low end phone.
