Dialer Launcher CPU usage

So I've been noticing that my phone gets very slow and sluggish lately and battery life suffers. I notice it more when I'm using GoSMS or in Gmail (the two most common apps I use on my phone). When I look at CPU usage, I can see that Dialer Launcher is using 50+% of the CPU and seems to be stuck (it doesn't ever go down). I can kill the task and everything gets speedy again, but an hour later Dialer Launcher will be back and using up the CPU.

Has anyone else seen this? Know of a fix?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] EVOuser94:
I have also seen this
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] brers:
Thats what i thought too. but i have downloaded it a total of ten times from different browsers, connections and from dev link and the other link. it says "MD5 file not found" when i try to flash, then it installs and reboots to TWRP and when I reset to run it for the first time it goes through the HTC screen (dev use only blah blah blah) and then goes black and is a blank non-working paperweight until I nandroid back to my old rom. Can anyone host a working version with a MD5? Are all those downloads i did really missing the file? Im doing a full wipe, i have the lastest radio, latest TWRP, unlocked, S-ON HBOOT 1.2

Question on MMS compression...

Did a little experiment sending a screenshot to myself. Original pic was 595 kb. I have stock message app set to 5mb and GoSMS set to 5mb max and Preserve Image Resolution enabled.

First pic is what I send. Second pic is what I receive.

Is this normal our should I change something?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] treetolber:
Yea it'll hold until a new email comes in then it downloads as plain text. Sucks cause you can't tap any links, you have to copy and paste the url.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] netengineer:
I did a clean flash and uninstalled k9 and reinstalled it but still will not work. I think it is k9. I had to use the mail app with the phone.

Not sure.

I update mine all the time.

Are you getting any error?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JahatHNc:
one more, when i open instagram, my jewel will reboot
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cruise350:
This is caused by the wrong version of twrp. You need to install 2.2.2 or 2.3.1. You are describing the error people had when using twrp 2.3.0.1. Even if you think I'm wrong reinstall twrp and see if it goes through.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
Nope no errors just keeps downloading but never installs. If I switch to 3g works fine :confused:

Is there a reason why sometimes I go to the text messages, click on a certain thread, and it says "Loading" with the spinning thing forever? - Then I back out, try it again and it goes right to the thread.

Also, the calendar event issue I mentioned once before about not being able to dismiss an event is one of those little things that piss me off lol

I don't know if this is a problem or I just don't remember how to get back to it. I'm on 6.4 and I went into the standard camera, wanting to use the spot focus picture mode, but it seems to be missing now. Can you guys check your phones and see if that mode is missing on yours too? I wonder if that mode somehow got left out of this version. Thanks, btw.

In app settings force stop downloads, force stop downloads manager - clear its data, go back to Play Store and re-try. Should download now. If it is an obb-based game I usually just have to keep rebooting the phone until it successfully downloads. A pain but works.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] treetolber:
I do believe that this problem is ROM related. When setting up the exchange account for the first time, the default setting is plain text. Changing it to HTML never sticks when mail is downloaded. I flashed the ROM Stock with Goodies and the default setting in the exchange settings is HTML and it downloads mail without switching to plain text.

Not sure what it is since I am not a dev but merely an end user flasaholic.

Im not currently running mean rom and i have the same issue. Trust me its an htc issue. Just wish one of the talented dev's here could fix it!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
I've noticed this on all the Mail.apk files where the Exchange Security has been disabled. I don't have this issue on the stock ROM/version.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kusanagi-sama:
Hey, what's the point of the apn-conf.xml? I noticed that the stock ROM/MeanROM doesn't have it, yet CyanogenMod 10 has it. If I rename it to apn-conf.xml.bak (so that the phone can't use it), the phone will still work perfectly fine connecting to any particular signal.

Hidden Settings

Can anyone tell me if the Hidden Settings app that adds back Power Saver Settings and Roaming Guards (even though I still see those) is of any use on this ROM?

I don't normally let my battery get down that low, but in cases where it may, I'm wondering if I should grab that app to tweak them.

Thanks.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] treetolber:
Okay
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] babyschmoof:
JB aside, is there anything that can really improve this rom? Sprint giving us lte is a good start!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] banccalif:
Only other thing to add would be a STABLE & CONSTANT lte connection (not a rom issue) and I'd be happy

What version of MeanRom are you running? What you are describing is the lag that everyone has been talking about and Mikey has it fixed in 6.4. Or at least I haven't experienced it since he fixed it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] netengineer:
I have been dirty flashing the ROM since the start. I was getting the lag thing really bad, so bad that I would have apps just stop working ect. I did a complete 'clean flash' and all the problems went away.

Do a clean install.... Well worth it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tm21fourt3:
Yeah I've been dirty flashing ever since we got the okay to do it....I'm on 6.4 as well

4 quick things.

I tried using titanium bu. To uninstall car.apk and stone of the htc hub and sprint apps. But it either says it does and they are still there or it does it and reboots to an all black screen and I have to nandroid and restore. Any idea how to hey rid of some of these stock apps?

And is it possible to customize the status bar icons at all?

Any tips on improving battery life ? I've been on this site for 10min and dropped from 100 to 80.

Also I see there is only a few widgets available ie the small calender, fb status bar, no music widget at all, etc. Any ideas?

6.4
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] schmeggy929:
1. You might be uninstalling an app that is needed for the system. recheck the apps you are trying to delete.

2.Install a theme, one from the Themes and Apps forum.

3.Improving battery life? This ROM is one of the better ROMs that improves battery life.

4. There are a bunch of widgets,Calculator,Calendar,Clock, FM Radio, Gmail, Mail, Music, Notes and so on.

5. I would try redownloading the ROM and also make sure you are on the same base as in the OP.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Traceamount:
Flashed mine hours after 6.4 was released. Battery life leveled off, but it doesn't have the same insane idle life it has since 5.6. It's still good, but I could leave it sit for 8-10 hours untouched at night, and it would use 2-3% if that. I don't have any screen off swipes on, and nothing unusual using battery. No new apps, nothing. Its using 4-8% or more during a nights sleep now, and screen on use seems to have suffered slightly also. Still very good, just not what its been (for me) the last 8 versions or so. 6.0-6.4 I did clean installs also. I've used MeanROM since it first showed up, so I have a good feel for when battery life levels off, usually 2nd - 3rd charge cycle. Hopefully it gets back to where it was in future releases :D

Keep up the awesome work Mike

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] P.Mobile:
ya i have noticed the same thing..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrrogers1:
You should flash the 1.7ghz kernel from 5.6 (grab it from the AFH link to the old rom) and see if you get that same battery life back. Could be a simple fix tied right back to the kernel as there has been changes to the very close to stock kernel to the S2WE enhancements.

Then again, I could be off base too. :cowboy:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Evolutionmods:
You know.... I have a very nice kernel that plays awesome with this rom :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jediknight36:
Are you sure?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Evolutionmods:
very sure, i only run this rom, im on 6.1 though, just never updated.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] babyschmoof:
Yeah, I think htc / sprint have to figure this one out for themselves.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mothmansound:
I don't post very often however I would like to say 6.4 has been the most stable ROM I have used since my MikG days on the og evo.

Battery is great, things are well sorted and I really enjoy using this phone finally. I used to feel a little let down as it just felt unfinished. Mean ROM is polished and a joy.

Thanks Mikey.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Really, that's why you haven't seen a flash in over a week. 6.4 seems so solid and I don't really see anything new worth adding lately. Plus, I suspect we'll be seeing JB in the next week or two so I think some devs (myself included) are hesitant to put a lot of hours in tweaking stuff on 2.13 when a new base is likely right around the corner.

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sslbaron:
Mike, I have to agree with you. 6.4 is running great on my phone. Why mess with perfection, right?...lol :D

LTE issues

I've been having an issue with LTE I never get 4g and if I have it on cdma/lte I wont get 3g either it just cycles through 4g then 3g and stays on disconnected. So I just keep it on cdma only and I get 3g fine. That's with a clean install any ideas?

Other then that love the rom been with it since 3.5

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gianmarco00:
I have a question about the freezes that everyone has been having. For some reason, I started having them myself just recently when I never did before. I know that Mikey has looked at the logs for some and it seems to have something to do with contacts.

That said, I ended up having an issue with Swype for some reason and it seems my lag was related to that. In fact, it also seems my lag on the google search bar was related to it as well. I ended up uninstalling and reinstalling and the lag was fixed.

For those of you having issues, do you all use Swype or another keyboard program? Is it possible this could be the culprit?

sweep2skip not working

Ever since I upgraded to 6.3 I have tried to use the sweep2skip tracks when screen is off listening to music and its not working for me. Is there something extra that needs to be done. All other sweep functions work. I am using the HTC music player. Any help would be appreciated.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jediknight36:
I have a question for everyone using meanrom. I'm sure a wipe and reinstall would fix this, but something that I just noticed happening is bugging me. When I have earphones in, or even Bluetooth headphones connected, the music gets really scratchy and distorted when a notification happens, or when my nav gives me directions.

Now, this was a feature when I first got the phone, but notifications would pause or lower the volume of music for that, especially when maps was active. She speaks and it lowers the volume of my music.

As of 2 days ago, it's been scratchy. Has anyone else ever experienced this and can they confirm the audio issue?

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] 11secEVO:
I have an issue with the ROM. I really love everything else about this ROM but the signal is not good. I used to get full lines for 4G LTE and now I only get 3G. I checked every setting and made sure that LTE is enabled. My wife has the same phone and it's stock and she has great receptions everywhere and 4G LTE works like a champ. Can you please look into this issue?

Thanks,
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ElMadre:
My understanding is that the ROM has zero effect on signal levels. To test, I would put the ROM on the wife's phone, and see if it ruins her signal. If not, you may have bum hardware. Are you on the latest radio?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Or... just pay attention to the messages you get when you (try to) flash. In any ZIP file, there is a CRC for every file in the ZIP. If you got a corrupted download, you are guaranteed to get errors that pop up on your phone when you flash the ROM. So, if you watch for error messages, it's (almost) as good as an MD5 check.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] spantalones:
I'm having a different 3G data issue in that it disappeared completely and wouldn't reconnect. I tried toggling mobile network off/on, tried toggling airplane mode, rebooted several times, messed with the toggles some more, and I ended up doing a factory reset because TWRP couldn't find my backups.

Once I set everything back up, I opened ES File Explorer, navigated to TWRP/backups and there they were. One of the oddest experiences I've had with this or my OG EVO.

I'm not even sure what to chalk this up to. Oh, and I was out running errands with my baby so that's why I resorted to factory reset. I didn't have any internet access.

I'd like to know what's going with this too.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] .Gibson.:
I believe it is because the OC method is just inserting a module into the kernel and not baked into the kernel itself (we don't have source). Those apps will not show the stats at 1.7, but really your processor did spend time at that clock speed.

I was charging my phone last night before I went to bed. I looked at it and it was 70%. Decided to check a few things on the phone and while charging, it dropped to 69%. Didn't even know that was possible.

I'm blown away at some of these battery stats I'm seeing in this thread. Seems like every 3 minutes I'm dropping a percentage, and I set it to "BATTERY" instead of PERFORMANCE.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] acuzerfdw:
Same here. And I've been having this issue for the past few versions... My 3G will disappear for a while then reappear. And simetimes it doesn't appear so I go to settings and it's on, but says "disconnected". And if I'm on WiFi, that goes away sometimes as well and then comes back. I've seen that happen while I have my laptop on WiFi as well and it doesn't happen to the laptop so I know it's not my router...

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] spantalones:
I've also had it drop/pick up wifi, but our wifi has been known to be fickle so I'm not sure whether it's the phone, wifi or both.

Mobile Network "on" but saying disconnected is exactly what mine was doing.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] njfoses:
Wifi and 3g dropping in and out has been a well documented issue with the device itself not the rom. People started having these issues from day 1 completely stock. We are all hoping whenever htc decides to release their first ota update the data issues are resolved.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Data is solid 24/7 on this ROM because I fixed the 12am to 7am data disconnect. If your data is disconnecting and reconnecting when you turn the phone on, my bet is that you've overwritten my fix by installing a mod or theme that overwrites either Settings.apk or SystemUI.apk, or both.

Agreed but i believe the issues the others are posting about happen regularly not just between 12am-7am. I know for a fact its not a rom issue as the general section has had many posts since day 1 about this issue. Everybody is hoping/assuming the first htc ota update will address the issue.
