[Defy General] cocus:
Hi, well, i have a huge problem here. I have stock rom, rooted and framework-res.apk modified. the other day, I've filled the original SD (8GB) with about 5GB of music with winamp. I've selected to resample mp3 to 128kbps CBR, 44kHz (if the quality was better). That configuration always worked fine in my old Sony Ericsson W580.

However, here works too, but, the MediaScanner is lagging the phone. If I run "top" in terminal emulator, the process android.process.media is eating almost 99% of the CPU. I've readad that this problem comes with a corrupted mp3 or something like. In first time, I've removed the whole folder with all the music. It didn't worked, the cpu keeps at 99% (i really didn't see if that process eats more and more ram). Well, today, I've removed ALL the files in the SD, leaving it blank. But the problem is still there. The F*CKING process is eating the whole CPU, and some applications (like Winamp, Klaxon, Select Ringtone in Configuration, etc) crashes if this service is running.

Of course, if I kill it, the media list of winamp didn't notice of newer files or removed files...

So, what can I do???

Thanks.

I have a server running at the moment using Ubuntu that runs XBMC as the main GUI. I also use it as a transmission server (for my torrents). The laptop I use has firefox with a torrent plugin that makes my server download the torrent when clicked on with my laptop... I want to know if that is possible using firefox on the transformer? I use the bittorrent ui plugin.

[Defy General] toxic10:
my phone has a big lag when hanging a call , showing me : call tine : xx xx

i can`t use anything until this message disappear, and the bad thing is that it stays there for around 6-7 seconds.

this is not happening all the time, but in 7 times from 10 calls is there.

i am using the MOTO Blur launcher, Moto_Version.2.5.1.1.MB525.Retail.en.CEE

what should i do ? is there a fix or something ?

should i try another launcher ?

edit: with Launcher Pro, free version , it happens the same thing, but rarely.
[Defy General] Sauronow:
Try to use a different dialer:

Dialer One

Get on Market.

I think this can solve your problems.
[Defy General] toxic10:
and another thing related to lag is that when i receive a call , somethimes i slide the green "thing" , but nothing happens , and after 2 seconds or so , the call is on.

if i slide it all the way to the right to answer , nothing happens, the screen remains the same , with the "slide to answer" or "slide to ignore" slides .. and after 2 seconds, the call is connected

i have to be patient, and press repeatedly the "slide to answer" to actually move the slide to the right.

this is kind of annoying .

i have few applications installed : Adobe Reader, Angry Birds, Battery Mix, Bluetooth File Transfer, 2g-3g OnOff, ClockQ, Facebook , Flashlight, IMDb, Linda Manager, MyPhoneExplorer, Smooth Calendar, SoundHound .

i don`t think any of these apps has something to do related with my problem , if so , please report to me :)
[Defy General] toxic10:
trying right now :)

i`ll provide feedback after a few days
[Defy General] Sauronow:
You can use a app named OS Monitor to see what is eating your cpu.

If your rom is a Stock one, something you installed is interfering with you phone dialer.
[Defy General] toxic10:
battery mix isn`t doing the same thing ? .. it has that cpu metter to see how much the cpu is used ?
[Defy General] Sauronow:
cpu use by each application?

Is not the cpu use total you want, but the individual use by app currently running.
[Defy General] toxic10:
in the OS Monitor , on last tab: Messages , i have some red items with [ERROR] ..

is that oke ?

here are some screen captures
[Defy General] Sauronow:
I don't know how to read this information, maybe someone with more experience than me can help.

How about the process tab??
[Defy General] toxic10:
everything on 0% .. only Android System fluctuates between 2-4-11-21%, Launcher Pro 1-2%, and since i opened it , OS Monitor shows with 20-30%

anything else is showing 0%
[Defy General] Sauronow:
With OS Monitor on, call your cellphone from another phone and monitor what goes up in cpu usage...
[Defy General] ABC_Universal:
No idea about the problem. If nothing else works, you may try a factory reset/wipe.
[Defy General] scrannel:
This is not a new issue. Posts I've read have solved it by going into the dialer app under "manage applications" and clearing data. Maybe will work for you.
[Defy General] toxic10:
the stock dialer doesn't appear in the " manage applications", only apps that you install from market or any other sources .

i installed another dialer , Dialer One, and under manage applications, it hasn't any "clear cache" option

guess that clearing data by going into the dialer app under "manage applications" is not possible.

any other ideas ?
[Defy General] toxic10:
i did that and called me from another phone, answered, and the same thing in OS Monitor, only Android System 2-10-15-20%, OS Monitor 25-30%, and Launcher Pro 1-2 % ..

after i hang up, the 3-4 seconds of lag was there, and after disappearing , the dialer had an 12% value, and reduced to 0% in 2 seconds.

i`ll do a soft reset, hope that will be the case

off topic : what`s the difference between soft reset , hard reset and wipe data ?
[Defy General] Prosperous_Poverty:
I've got the same problem. Dialer (stock or custom, no difference) on my defy lags even more. It can take from 4 seconds to 10 at least. Sometimes if you get calls the moment you hang up the previous one, it slows down even more, so the dialer is completely unresponsive for quite a long time. Only a turn-off->on helps, which I completely hate because of that irritating loud sound (even when on vibrate) when turning off or on.

This is stock 2.1, not rooted phone. I only have launcherpro running, everything else is on default. I'm going to do a complete reset and see if the problem is gone, but I'm not too hopeful.
[Defy General] vikrambharadwaj:
Guys, I had the same problem.. My new phone (Eclair, Not yet rooted) used to lag a lot whenever I end a call, It just freezes, So I did the following steps:

* Goto Settings-> applications-> Manage applications

* Tap the menu button (the first soft key button) and tap on "filter"

* Select the option "All" and now in the list of applications select Dialer

* tap the "clear data" button

* Go to home and Dialer -> recent and "clear List"

This solved my problem, Hope it solves yours as well.
[Defy General] scrannel:
As you can see, it is not only possible, but designed to be cleared. Basic stuff. Clearing data from the application manager was a daily routine on the old G1. Generally if something slows down, this is the first place to look.
[Defy General] toxic10:
my bad , i apologise :)

i had to turn off the phone to switch the SIM card with another phone, and after i put back the SIM and started the phone , the problem was not showing any more.

if it does , i`ll try your way :P

thanks for that extra info :D
[Defy General] bhokor:
Maybe undervolting the problem, try to high undervolting to 400 mhz it function to me
[Defy General] maxi2mc:
For me this was fixed when i updated from 2.34 to 2.51. Also restarting the phone solves this problem, so the fix with clearing data should be faster and better.
[Defy General] Prosperous_Poverty:
The clearing of phone data does seem to fix the problem but only temporarily. I had to clear it at least three times today. And I don't even talk on the phone much.

I just find it hard to beleive that I have to do this regularly just to make or receive phone calls properly. I could even tolerate a crashing app here and there, but this is probably the most important system on the phone. And it doesn't work properly =(
[Defy General] scrannel:
Are you using the stock dialer? I usually have to clear out data about once a month. Have you tried just clearing your recent all list from dialer?
[Defy General] Prosperous_Poverty:
Stock dialer, firmware, only launcherpro plus and battery monitor widget running as custom software.
[Defy General] toxic10:
i think i found what was causing that lag ! at least, in my case ! :D

i had lock pattern on my defy, to lock it up.

after disabling the lock pattern, (for about a week now ) my phone doesn`t have that lag anymore

i`m very happy with no lag after hanging a call :)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darisb:
First, let me apologize if this is the wrong forum. I am new, with zero posts, so I am not able to post in the developers forum yet.

I picked up an gTab a couple weeks ago. Right out of the box, I installed one of the Gingerbread ROMs. I was pretty happy with it, but there were a couple quirks. Friday I installed the VEGAn Gingerbread 7.0.0 ROM. Right after that in installed Pershoot's 2.6.32.38 kernel, and then installed the refreshed kernel Sunday morning.

After all that was running and stable, I started trying to get VPN Connections to work. My work has a Cisco IPSEC PSK VPN. I installed the tun.ko from the the appropriate Pershoot's kernel extras. When I reboot and try the insmod again, it says "file exists", so I'm pretty confident the module is installed correctly. When I try to connct with VPN Connections, it hangs on "Trying to connect". I increased the timeout to 120 seconds, but it seems to hang forever.

Does anyone have any ideas on how figure out what's causing the hang?

Thanks,

Daris
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darisb:
Bump - Anyone?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darisb:

I have tried to edit the boot animation using UOT kitchen on the LeeDrOiD rom since version 2.2 but have had no success!

i believe it is stored in system/customize/resources. i pick this option in UOT and the boot animation doesn't change.. i pick the option "Sense ROM" in UOT and still no change... any ideas?
[Desire Themes and Apps] Lord_Quack:
It might be write-protected. If you can, get root explorer, and get a custom animation zip file.

Make sure its called bootanimation.zip

Copy to SD.

Using root explorer, navigate to system/customize/resources, mount as writeable, (little touchbox near the top). You should see a file called bootanimation.zip in there- that is the one in use.

Now go back, find where you saved your custom bootanimation.zip, copy and replace the other file. If you want, rename the original to bootanimation(1).zip and place your custom zip in next to it (in case it doesnt work and you want to revert to previous animation.)

Exit, Reboot, and should be done =)

Hope this helps.
[Desire Themes and Apps] cgmorris89:
Yeah that method definitely works as I've got a custom bootanimation on LeeDrOiD 3.0.2 :)

Also, while you're there, you can delete (or rename) android_audio.mp3 if you want to get rid of the sound on startup.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Lord_Quack:
Ugh agreed, I rebooted in the middle of the night, forgot that earlier I had turned sound back on, and scared the SH*T outta me!
[Desire Themes and Apps] UKseagull:
Thanks for the info, do you need to be S-off to do the above?
[Desire Themes and Apps] cgmorris89:
same happend with me last night :D immediately went and deleted it...
[Desire Themes and Apps] Lord_Quack:
When I rooted I S-OFF'ed straight away, so to be honest I don't know. As far as I'm aware, no, you need S-Off for the SPlash screen, not the Boot animation. Don't quote me on this though :P
[Desire Themes and Apps] cgmorris89:
Think so yeah.
[Desire Themes and Apps] cgmorris89:
I thought S-OFF was needed to make changes to the system folder while the phone was switched on (in it's normal mode...) ?

Maybe I misread somewhere :D
[Desire Themes and Apps] Lord_Quack:
Like I said, I'm not too sure, I guess there's no harm trying it with S-ON?

@UKseagull, if you want to get S-OFF on the desire, try Unrevoked-Forever, if that doesn't work (like for me) I found an alternative.

Get AlphaRev, Click Here and download the .iso file.

However, I had a little problem burning the image as it wouldn't boot, so I used virtualBox to run it and gain S-OFF that way.
[Desire Themes and Apps] live_0978:
if I remember correctly unrevokedforever only works for cdma desire but not GSM so alpharev is your only option.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Lord_Quack:
Ah, that's very interesting, I didn't realise. Thanks for the heads-up =)

[Desire Themes and Apps] undercover:
Confirming, to edit system folder you need to be s-off. Any problems with adobe flash, as it's in system, you need to be s-off. Struggled to make changes till s-offed today.
[Desire Themes and Apps] himeshladva:
I'm gonna give it a try now..

I'm S-ON so if that doesn't work, would using adb work?

Edit: Just realised there's a second page LOL. I don't particularly wanna S-OFF, should I try adb?
[Desire Themes and Apps] Lord_Quack:
Did you manage to do it on s-on?
[Desire Themes and Apps] himeshladva:
I believe if you use ADB you can put the bootanimation.zip into /system/customize/resource folder.

If you haven't flashed the ROM yet you can just delete the original bootanimation.zip from the ROM zip folder and replace it with whichever one you want..
[Desire Themes and Apps] Lord_Quack:
Did you test out the ADB method? I have a custom boot anyway, I was just wondering if you could state whether or not it worked for you so others if they have the same question could possibly get a solution.
[Desire Themes and Apps] CdTDroiD:
Anyone know where to get the sound that the boot comes with (R2D2)
[Desire Themes and Apps] undercover:
Download leedroid Rom and have a look in zip.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Lord_Quack:
Get Root Explorer, Go into system/customise/resource and it is the mp3 file in there.
[Desire Themes and Apps] himeshladva:
Yep it did work.

Just replace the old bootanimation.zip with the new one.
[Desire Themes and Apps] himeshladva:
Edit:

Figured it out.

Is there an app/solution to having one keyboard for landscape mode (default android layout) and another for portrait mode (thumb keyboard) which appears automatically dependant on the orientation of the tablet? I'm fed up with having to keep switching it via the settings. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] PublicJohnDoe:
The best solution would be a more customizable keyboard...

For example, I do like the stock one, but usually use the Asus keyboard just because the '@' character is very counter-intuitive on the stock one. On the other hand, the spacebar in the Asus one is way too short for my linking (and I end up missing it quite a lot)

Having a keyboard where you can customize the layout would be really cool.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] jms_uk:
I could've sworn that Thumb Keyboard automatically offers different layouts depending on tablet orientation.. or do you not like the version offered in portrait mode?

It does, its down in the settings, Layout Keyboard.

There is a check box you and then you can select seperate layouts for portrait and landscape.
