hi, I'm using MS ROM HD 6.5, stock kernel provided with the ROM. I'm facing a problem when playing game with my s3. When i play game like Eternity Warrior 2, Zenonia 5 and Wild Blood for about 30 minutes to 2 hours, phone will start lagging and touchscreen lost control (it takes long time to react based on my gesture). I'm thinking perhaps my phone is clearing RAM in the background and causing this problem. Anyone of you have this problem? hope XDA users can spare me some idea to solve it. Thank you.
**no offence to the ROM**
If you have this issue with multiple games, it's not that probable that they all have or cause memory leaks.
It could be that the phone overheats and clocks down the CPU and/or GPU to prevent damage. As a result the processing power is not high enough and your phone will lag 'til it cools down.
Is it by any chance hot or is your phone in a protective box?

This thread can now be closed here.
The phone is 4 months old, I abused it at first (general usage + heavy games (dark knight rises, asphalt 7hd, deadzone, etc).
I then rooted it, installed custom roms eg FoxHound/WanamLite, used stock kernel until I tried Yank, Siyah and Boeffla. One of them, I can't remember which one, gave me about 24h battery time (over a month ago) with gps on, decent screen time (~2h-2.5h) wifi 40% of the time.
Now I don't know what happened but my phone just went mad. I barely get 10h with 1-2h screen time, mostly 3g, gps off, screen timeout 15s.
I am not using auto brightness anymore, I've got it set on the lowest by default, to make sure it stays at its darkest. I tried siyah with the extreme battery config. I'm now running boeffla with zzmove battery; all I adjusted was the sound profiles.
It drops by about 10% in 30 mins only from texting/browsing on wifi. My ram usage doesn't go pasy 650, it usually stays at ~580.
Hey
Give some more details like which rom you using and kernel.
Have you tried a different battery?
Plus have u gone back to the official firmware after facing battery issues?
Send from my Samsung Galaxy S III GT-I9300..!
If you have a custom recovery, wipe data, cache the whole bit...reinstall a fresh ROM..should solve the problem, seems the phone is awake more than it should...something went crazy software side...

I am currently using wanamlite 6.2 with boeffla kernel set on zzmove battery profile. I haven't tried a different battery and I had ~24h life with a custom rom based on the official firmware, FoxHound (not the official firmware).

I realized the phone stays in deep sleep for very little, about 5-6%.
I attached some screens, do you see anything that could cause this problem? I'd rather leave factory resetting as a very last resort ..
Hi. My att galaxy s2 seems to drain a lot of battery no matter which rom or software it is running. Even on stock. It is usually the messaging app, media, android os, and screen that are all taking up large portions of battery. I just wanted to know is there anything I could do/flash that would help this problem? If not could it possibly be a hardware problem? I could replace it but I wanted to know for sure first.
You could try a custom kernel. AJ's and STI both have battery saving tweaks you can use. Not sure if that will help you or not. If you are getting 2 to 3 hours of screen time that is probably all you will ever see. I rarely get more than 3 hours of screen time.
If you are on 4.0 or higher OS, you can also use Greenify to identify and put bad behaving apps into hibernation.
I am having a bit of issues lately with youtube, which is the main use of my MiPad.
Youtube started lagging few weeks ago for me. Like missing frames every now and then.
If I clean install a ROM the YT will work awhile normally but after few days and after installing some other apps the lagging starts again.
First I thought it was just the new F1xy kernel and reverted back to old fixy but problem remained. Then I tried Smoke kernel and problem remained.
Then I clean installed cDroid (new blobs) and everything was fine, for awhile. After installing Chrome, the lagging came back and I thought that Chrome was the problem and uninstalled it and videos worked awhile okey but then the lagging came again.
I've now tried several kernels and LOS14 (new blobs) and crDroid and installing and uninstalling YT and clearing its cache and whatnot rebooting and lagging always comes back sooner or later.
I used to run LOS14 with fixy or foxy and had no major issues with YT but now I just can't seem to shake this problem away.
I now run crDroid and SmokeR21.5 and with gaming or video-profile I might be able to watch some YT without lagging, but eventually it starts to jerk.
Does anyone else have this kind of lagging/jerking with YT and does anyone know how to get rid of it?
Now I haven't had any serious lagging for awhile and I have no idea why. I still run crDroid and SmokeR kernel. Bloody magic if you ask me...
And lags are back yet again. Every 10ish seconds roughly there is a slight jerk [emoji21]
I am using SmokeR kernel with gaming profile. Cpu freq doesn't dip under 696Mhz but still lags happen. Damn!
This might be a 1080p60 issue. At least yesterday I had no hiccups with normal 1080 video but 60fps one had occasional lags. Gonna try the new Smoke LOS14 next to see how that handles videos.
Have you tried Smoke LOS 14.1? Seems that YouTube issue is fixed there.

Great. Finally after so long, we might have ROM that YouTube don't sucks
Some results;
With Smoke LOS 14.1 I was able to watch 1080p60 videos without a hitch and without the performance app for few days iirc but after that videos started jerking so I installed the performance app and tried the with different profiles. Only with the Gaming profile I was able to watch 1080p60 videos without problems. So the Smoke LOS 14.1 is one solution for me.
Unfortunately that ROM is still too beta. Battery consumption and deep sleep behaviour is just bad and I would estimate that I could only get 4ish hours of SOT during few days cos of the battery drain.
So I decided to give crDroid 3.6 and F1xy 9.3 beta a go.
It seems that Youtube is having some mobile issues with 1080p60 videos and those are not available atm, 720p60 is the highest atm. I suppose they will fix that soon.
Anyway, crDroid + 9.3 worked like a charm for roughly 6 hours (minus the artifacts ofc). Then the jerks came back and Spectrum app didn't help at all. No matter what profile I used, I still got at least mild frame drops.
So I played with Kernel Auditor a bit and noticed that only settings that helped was if I set max and min CPU freq to the same value, e.g. 1800Mhz, all the YT videos play nicely. Even with 1000Mhz there was no huge frame drops. I am going to do some more testing but at this moment I speculate that the frame drops occur when CPU frequency fluctuates.
Has anyone else noticed anything like this? Am I the only one with these frame drops (lags, jerks, hitches) in 60FPS YT videos?
And after writing that message above 720p60 videos played just fine with Balanced profile without tinkering with frequencies. Idk what is going on with this tablet...
I think I found it what is causing the lags on youtube. I think it is the bloody Live Display setting and particularly its Night setting that is doing this.
I tried it few time to switch between Night and Off settings and with Night setting 720p60 videos lagged always and with Day or Off videos ran just fine with F1xy and Balanced profile.
I don't get it why changing a color temperature would cause something like this but at least I found a way to reproduce the issue.
So could someone else try and reproduce this issue:
1. Go to Settings --> Display --> LiveDisplay --> Display Mode --> Choose Night
2. Try some 1080p60 or 720p60 Youtube video.
3. If you get lags, change the LiveDisplay to Off or Day and try again.
Cheers.

What kind of lag you are getting? I've used LiveDisplay since day 1 and there is no lag annoying enough to me. I am using F2FS file system though. And horrible battery drain when screen off (1% per hour) with ForceDoze and Wi-Fi off.

Missing frames. Video jerks/skips. This can happen every 2 secs or every 10ish secs. Forcing CPU min and max freq to the same value fixed this as well when I tested.
I suppose it could be something else causing this but definitely LiveDisplay settings activate this (for me) when I tested my hypothesis few times yesterday.
There are different revisions of Mipad so this might not be issue for everyone.
And this also explains why usually after few days this always started happening to me when I flashed a new rom. I probably activated LiveDisplay after few days of use...

Yeah, it could be something specific for your MiPad or software set up.
Out of topic question, but do you experience same battery drain too when screen is off (around 1% per hour?)
I think this has to be a LOS14 issue cos I have had the same jerking in all highwaystar based roms and the new smoke LOS14. I just can't confirm now that if the LiveDisplay was the issue in those roms. But I bet it was cos I started using it not so long ago.

Naah mate. Atm I have pretty decent deep sleep behaviour. I am running crDroid 3.6 and Fixy 0.93beta iirc.

Ah, shoot. So we are talking about totally different thing. I had the impression that you are using LOS 14.1 Smoke, my bad. Personally I had no issue with LOS 14.1 for YouTube even using LiveDisplay. Just that annoying battery drain.
Btw, is there any bug for CrDroid (other than non working camera)? Because if turning LiveDisplay will give no lag YouTube, plus great sleep behavior I'd rather flash that instead.

I was using LOS14 Smoke just awhile ago but the nagging youtube lag appeared ( I presume cos I started using LiveDisplay) and yeah there was some weird deep sleep issues with that rom. Check pic.
crDroid is pretty much like any other off-shoot of highwaystars los14, so it has artifacts and no camera and you probably need to use custom kernel at some point. Atm i am going to stay on it until something with better battery optimization comes along.
And I am still not 100% sure that LiveDisplay is the ultimate cause of my YT lag. But I bet it has something to do with it cos it was so clear yesterday when changing to night mode --> YT lagged, turning it off --> YT no lags. But for now I'll keep using the mipad without the night mode and see what comes in my way...
So. I too have been afflicted with the Note 4 crazy CPU issue, and would LOOOOOVE a fix. I'm using an old phone at the moment because the Note runs so hot and drains so fast I'm worried it'll become damaged.
Steps so far:
* Started with V9.6.3.0.NCFMIFD (MIUI9)
* Woke up to phone running super hot (It charges overnight), the day before all had been well. Have to assume some system app or other update happened overnight.
* Tried to charge it, but it was running flat fast.
* Let it discharge to 0%, and then it refused to charge all day, only flashing red LED
* Left it unplugged all night and next morning charged it, after a few minutes of still showing the flashing red led, started charging normally, but hot still
* Tried downgrading to V9.6.2.0.NCFMIFD
* Same issue
* Tried upgrading to 8.10.18 (MIUI10) Same issue (MIUI 10 is pretty though )
* Have tried factory resetting (via recovery mode wipe)
* Have tried within MIUI10 uninstalling all google apps it allows me to, and downgrading all I can
It's just burning up, running hot, and not getting any better. When is Xiaomi going to fix this issue that, based on how many threads there are here, and on MIUI forums, and on reddit, is widespread?
Hi spoco2,
Just back from a local store with the same issue in my Xiaomi note 4X and it seems like a known problem due to google duo from his words.
The solution that he made - remove last update of google duo , disable auto update from playstore for specific app only.
Please let me know if that helps you , i'll trt to check if that works and update.
Best,
Roee
Yeah. I have tried that, and it does seem to help a bunch of people, but not all of us it seems.
?
It's utterly flat at the moment. But even after a complete factory reset and return back to V9.6.3.0.NCFMIFD (MIUI9) it's still doing it.
Downloading https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dp.sysmonitor.app and running it showed that all eight cores had their frequency up at 1.69Ghz, all the time. One of the cores was sitting at almost 100% usage for the whole time, while the others moved around a lot, but still had their frequencies right up high.
As it got to almost flat MIUI said I should turn on battery saver. I did that, and I'm not sure if that did it, but then four of the cores were shown as 'offline'. But there was still one core with high cpu usage, and all remaining cores still had their frequencies high.
have you tried flashing a custom ROM?
You might try flashing a custom kernel. I use storm guard kernel. Works great. Also you might try turning off MIUI optimization in dev options. It's at the bottom of the list.
