Thanks for confirming I'm not just crazy!!

I REALLY hope this can be addressed before the Jelly Bean drop. It seems Mikey is 'slow' now, so maybe he would be willing to investigate this issue. Especially since it seems we know how to reproduce the issue reliably now.

FYI, I've tried all 3 kernels, and it happens on the stock 1.5, and the 1.7 and 1.8 OC kernels.

I use my phone as a music player more than anything else, and mostly at work (6 hours/day normally), so this is a particularly annoying issue for me. I know that I can just turn off wifi, but then I need to remember to turn it on every evening, and off every morning again. I really don't think this was happening prior to about 4.8, but when I (dirty) flashed back to 4.7 to test, it was still happening, and I just don't want to clean wipe and test 4.7 again, unless I know the results might be helpful/useful for getting a fix, in which case, I'll do it right away.

Can/will anyone else please test this to see if they are having this issue also?

My Jawbone Big Jambox, Jawbone Icon HD, Motorola S10 HD, AND Plantronics Voyager 855 all connect fine, stay connected, and are crystal clear.

My Plantronics connected on first try. I made a phone call and listened to a song with Google Play Music. Only had it connected for about 10 minutes. I can keep it connected longer to test if you'd like. I have nothing else to do today so I don't mind one bit. About how long does it take before yours drops connection?

I called the Jambox a Jambox XL in my previous post, when it's actually named Big Jambox. My bad

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
What happens if you turn your ringer/notification volume all the way down and put it in vibrate only mode? All phones with Beats audio have an issue going from Beats to notification sounds because the Beats drivers have to be "unloaded" to play the notification, and then restarted after the notification sound. So even if you have notification set to "silence" but you still have the notification volume up/on, it'll cause this driver-unload issue where music pauses or scratches.

So it's possible that while you're on WiFi, you are getting emails or other sync type notifications and turning WiFi off just stops (or slows down) the notifications. I have security cameras that sometimes alert several times a minute when there is activity outside. The email notifications are just a quiet wood block "click" but it's enough to cause music to pause/scratch every time one comes in. Silencing the notifications by full volume down on the ringer cures it.

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JustinChase:
Sadly, that didn't help. I stopped the music player, turned the ringer volume all the way down, but left it on vibrate, then turned the music back on, then turned on wifi, and I heard the scratching within 1 minute, and have heard it several times while typing this.

My guess is that the attempt to find the wifi signal is the cause. If I 'forget' the network, that also stops the problem.

I'm thankful that you're interested in trying to fix this, so please let me know what else I can try, including flashing new kernels. I had not been on MeanROM for long before you began work on the kernel; first by using someone else's overclocked kernel, then moving to just writing your own overclocked kernel. however, before that started, I don't think I ever heard this issue, so I'm inclined to believe they are related.

thanks again.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
But you said flashing the stock kernel doesn't solve it. So it's not likely the kernel. Why don't you tell me your exact setup so I can try to repeat it. What music app are you using? Do you have the problem on headphones? Bluetooth music device? Also, in the music app you are using, what sound settings do you have set? Also, does it happen on all WiFi networks or just some?

You might also want to try setting only the frequency band you are using instead of "Auto". Go to the advanced settings in WiFi and check only the frequency band you use.

Mikey I must have missed it but congrats on the new title :D RC/RD
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JustinChase:
I did a full wipe and fresh install of 6.4. I connected to my home wifi network. I went to my office, where I get no wifi signal and VERY poor cell signal. I plugged in my earbuds, and opened the stock music app (not the google music and movie app), then showed all 1400 songs, then set it to shuffle all. Every minute or 2 or 3, I hear this static. It's always about the same volume, so if the music is loud, you won't hear it. if the music is quiet, the static/crackle/noise is rather loud/abrupt.

If i turn off wifi, it goes away. if I turn on wifi, it comes back. if I open wifi and forget my home network, it goes away, even if wifi is still turned on.

All this is with a completely stock installation, no email settings setup or anything else. the only thing changed from stock is connecting to my home wifi.

I was of the impression that the stock kernel you include with your ROM still included your tweaks, but not overclocked. if it's the very stock HTC kernel, then I guess that rules out the kernel as the problem after all.

if I get time tonight, i'll try to find the unlocked stock ROM and install that and see how it goes at work tomorrow. the 'key' seems to be not having any data or wifi signal. that's what seems to cause the problems for me.

thanks again for taking a look!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] steal25:
Congrats Mike! Well deserved. :good:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] MexPwrEng:
I have the same exact same issue. I never thought it was WiFi related. I listen to my music at low volume when I am putting my kids to bed, usually at 1 click/level. The static/noise is pretty loud.

I just installed 6.4 last night. I did a fresh install using superwipe + manually wiping right after. It's not just MeanROM as I have had this issue with other rom's too.

I was starting to think my jack wasn't working properly but it does go away when WiFi is off.

I listen to either 8tracks, Pandora, or the HTC stock music app.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] emtchrisbishop:
Ok, got a good one here...

My best conclusion is that I f-ed up my LTE. I'm on 2.13 with new radios and prl, s-off lazy panda. Flashed Mean and ran it for about a day when I noticed my mobile network was not working. No 4g or 3g. I can get 3g when I switch to cdma only, bit when I switch back to LTE/cdma I lose all mobile.

I flashed the new radios again, nothing.

I flashed back to Milestone 3, nothing.

I even flashed the 2.13 firmware pkg, nothing.

Any ideas? I would think it might be sprint playing with towers, but my wife has constant 4g running Milestone 3 for weeks since they got the towers working.

Sorry its so long, but I think something is jacked. I'm also on TWRP 2.1

Oh yeah, and I have noticed superuser asking for permission to allow ip address when I connect to WiFi. Never ever have seen that before.

Need me some Mean 4g!

Nice. Congrats Mikey. It's long overdue.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrlakadaddy:
Mikey, check with viper and il duce, I think the lag has been finally eradicated
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kalvan:
Just to be clear, this happens when WiFi is ON but we are NOT connected to a WiFi network (and have a remembered network in our list). I have not yet had a chance to test it when connected to WiFi (like Justin, I mainly listen to music on my EVO when at work). Unlike Justin, I actually have good 3G signal at work.

For me, it happens with both Google Music and the default HTC music app (so either streaming music or local playback off of the SD card). I have not tried any other music apps. The noise/scratchiness happens if Beats is on or off. I am using regular headphones. If I use my stereo bluetooth (Samsung HM3500) I do not notice the noise. If I leave the bluetooth on and plug my headphones back in, the noise is back. So it definitely seems to be related to headphones.

I would be tempted to blame this on hardware, like a bad stereo jack (or even bad headphones), except for the WiFi being on but not connected with a remembered network.

Suggested steps for reproducing the issue:

1) Start with WiFi off. Ensure that there is a remembered WiFi network in the list, but that specific WiFi network will not be available.

2) Start the HTC music app and begin playing a quiet music track at low volume (like the new XX album for this...)

3) With the music playing, enable WiFi on the EVO. I usually hear the noise immediately after WiFi is enabled. And then the noise repeats every ~17 seconds (very repeatable, might be just short of 17 seconds). I did this step several times and got the same result each time. The noise duration is about a quarter second.

Hope this can help isolate any problem. I like Justin's idea of trying a stock ROM, but don't have time right now to try it.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jediknight36:
The stock stock ROM did it too. And mine does it weither WiFi is on or not. But unless it's über quiet, I don't hear it. I figured it was the antenna streaming from 3g.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ChewyWade:
I noticed I have that issue when I have a lotta apps (usually past 6 or 8) is the only time I encounter the issue. So what I've been doing is just killing the apps.

That's pretty awesome. *..wondering if anyone in the Greater Houston, TX area would be willing to help an "old guy" out with that same feat? An old guy that doens't have a 32 bit machine, doesn't know anything about Ubuntu and has even fewer skills??*
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Yeah, I think the fix that's going around is the one I already implemented. I've shared it with all devs who asked me what I did and several have added it but sadly, while I do think it helps, it's not a definitive fix. The thing that makes it difficult is that I think something like 99% never see any lag. I wish I could get mine to lag so I can look closer but I can't repeat it no matter what I try. I'm still leaning toward it being a misbehaving app that is holding the contacts db open.

For anyone having the problem, I think a restart will fix it. Usually fixes it for at least a day or two. Closing out unneeded apps from the recent apps list also helps by keeping a smaller memory footprint.

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mjhuffer:
It definitely happens to me every once and a while and a restart helps out. It hasn't happened a great deal since I upgraded to 6.4. However have you found a fix for the message line preview not sticking within the messaging app. I just recieved a message from somebody saying the Tranquility rom has this fixed but that rom hasn't been updated in 3 months. I'm really trying to get this straightened out as it as a huge issue on Mik's rom for the OG evo and eventually drove me away from the rom.

I had that exact strange issue. I deleted the affected contacts and re entered them and have not seen it again. It was mainly one contact that was showing up instead of the correct ones.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] manaup:
By closing the apps in the recent apps menu you mean the "multitasking button" right? And closing the app would mean swiping it up right? I remember reading somewhere that by swiping an app out of the multitasking panel, it doesn't "kill" the app. Or is it only in mean rom that swiping the app out/up means the app is "killed"?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gianmarco00:
I brought this up earlier but didn't get any responses.

I never had the lag before and all of a sudden had it one day. At that time, Swype was misbehaving and not functioning properly as I had tried to install Swiftkey to give it a shot and then uninstalled. All of a sudden, I had major lag for texts and pulling up contacts. I then uninstalled and reinstalled Swype and all was good again.

Doing so also helped with the Google search bar lag. I'm wondering if it's Swype (or another keyboard app) that might be misbehaving.

Any thoughts on this based on the logs you've seen?

I'm one of the perpetual text laggers and also use the Swype Beta keyboard. Wonder if there's a correlation? FWIW, I would notice excessively high CPU usage of the Contacts Storage and User Dictionary processes during the lag. And I think the User Dictionary process is used by Swype and other keyboard apps not only when saving words to the dictionary but when scanning as typing (when it red underlines any misspelled words it finds).

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] -viperboy-:
Thanks to Mike, we have eliminated the issue (so far it seems!) I used your memory values in post_boot.sh, facebook sqlite removal from init.d and your services.jar edits.

The other thing we did is lower the dalvik heap and growth limit to 96m and 50m, respectively. This seems to help with garbage collection dramatically.

The other thing to note is a full wipe is probably best. Flashing our full ROM and then the lag fix in the same recovery session, setting up the phone again, letting the contacts repopulate seem to give the beat results. Would suggest that you guys give this a shot on Mike's ROM too. Make sure it's a full wipe including data.

Thanks again to you Mike for helping us out.

I may give birth to a nightly or two: make a couple more stabs at taking out lag entirely. I'll change the heap sizes and also put the contact reindexing on screen-on so the contacts database is "freshened up" each time you turn the screen on. Let's see if that helps. Shouldn't hurt anything. The reindexing/vacuuming of the database takes less than a second even with 1000 contacts or more.
