[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schroding3rscat:
Hello!

After updating from ICS to JB 2 months ago I constantly facing with different problems with. I was enjoying ICS and expected best experience from JB.

First of all I missed all of my media files from SD. I searched xda for answer and discovered same issues. All answers was, like, "delete .nomedia and/or wipe your device". I didn't have ANY .nomedia file on my SD. So, I forced to wipe all of my data, app settings, etc. and recover it again. F*ck, why I must format my phone to make it work properly? Sometimes I have known bug with stock launcher when it doesn't show any icons or render one icon to whole screen. Sometimes my device freezes and I only can reset it by ejecting battery. Very poor battery life. Several days ago my battery suddenly dropped to 0% from 60%! Look at pic in attachment.

But main problem with JB is performance. With ICS I hadn't any lags in simple games such as Cut the Rope, but in JB I often facing small freezes and lags that highly annoying. Sometimes one game running OK, but next time it very sluggish. I can't understand why. I constantly have ram issues. In ICS I saw stock launcher crash very rarely. But in JB after every Internet surfing or gaming I must wait to stock launcher load. More frequent is widget issues. When I press Home button I see that stock calendar widget blinking. That seems like it loading or reloading.

So, the main question is: what can I do with this? Is there any custom rom that hasn't this issues? Can I cut some JB features to increase it performance? Is there anyone that have same problems?

by the way I have no lag at all and a very good experience with JB
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schroding3rscat:
I'd already solve this problem with wiping, but I didn't touch any of my media files. I don't think this was caused by corrupted file.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crucio32000:
Wipe is necessary when you flash a brand new rom. I've experienced the same issue upgrading to jb from ics, solved by doing a full wipe! ;)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schroding3rscat:
Of course I did this.

Also, sometimes I stuck with (bug?) android.server process consuming all CPU. Only phone restart helps.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I don't have a lot of complaints, and haven't had the same performance issues, though I don't do a lot of gaming. That's what the Nexus 7 is for. ;)

The media scanner in Android sucks in my opinion, so if your files aren't showing up you may want to try running something like SDRescan. My music files (in Music directory on SD card) will show up as soon as I re-open Play Music.

You could try turning off Google Now if you haven't already. I did that and the battery seems to be a little better.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 915rko:
OP, I used to have the same problem and I could never find the .nomedia file. I had to delete ROM manager and its folder. After a full wipe and many tries, I got it to work. As for the launcher crashes, you might want to download an alternative from the play store. One that keeps it "in memory", that way it hardly crashes. I have Nova launcher and it happens frequently to where I switched to Apex haha.

This helped me and hoping it helps you. Good luck!

I am stock rooted on li3. Received li3 ota and was not rooted at the time. I rooted usjng qbking77 method. I tried doing a nandroid backup but it failed on the data backup. It said short write. I tried fixing permissions but that didn't help. Any ideas? I noticed that the date of the folder in cwm folder is dated 1970. Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
I've been a loyalist to the SL i9003 forum, From the day the threads went up to when we were grouped under the Galaxy S section as a sub base, Honestly despite moving onto greener pastures the SL i9003 has always been my first choice in the android department, hence why I still keep my SLi9003 and why I would spend as much as it takes to keep it alive than any other higher tier class phones.

First, this thread means no threat, but ofcourse, this is General section and anything goes, The moderators have been doing a splendid job, and if anything what surprises me the most is the activity----in a Legacy & Low Activity Devices section, but a few things have irked me.

I have stood around in the Hillbeast thread and side with Dhiru's and both are what's "Hot" or what's keeping thing's alive here, in a place where development has met it's scarcity. I agree the moderators have done their job properly in keeping things in line where patience runs short considering both developers (Or might I recognize just one- Hey it's the truth, monkey see, monkey do) depend on each other's work to keep the phone in it's tip top shape, but why has the moderation been so strict?

If anything this is the Legacy & Low Activity Devices and we have been shot down from once a standard recognized phone, to the abyss of low tier phones, I would agree there is alot of noob questions being asked, and alot of ruckus about the recent events, but aren't we, the community to decide and voice our opinions out? I would agree the noob questions/statements need to be rubbed off from the thread but I feel the manner of erasing certain posts and thread has gone a bit---

overboard

and I feel this thread would meet it's match soon. Again, I mean no disrespect to the fine moderators who have done their job properly. I just feel someone had to state this out.

And why? A small share, I was told recently I had been featured on XDA and I didn't even know it (GTab 10.1) so I decided to Google myself, upon doing so, I had seen my threads been offlinked, copy pasted from the GT-i9003 section into other forums, usually I'd ignore this but I noticed most of them are scared to ask or post because of the strict moderation that goes around that too on a Legacy & Low Activity Devices section. Most of them require the tutorial guide in order to move forward to dhiru's ROM because everyone knows if you screw up while flashing a firmware, you end up having a screwed phone not worth having a "blessing" on. I feel the crucial part gets erased, if anything most developers need to know the feedback, improving requires feedback, feedback inspires improvisation.

This has just been going on for a while, and I feel I needed to say this, perhaps most of the community would agree with me on this.

Good job once again to the moderators. With all due respect.

thats really true ....

well said brother !!!

Hope Mods doesn't delete this topic also !!!

nicely said ! if it wasnt u, i would have posted such ! because things do seem to get out of hand ! before you kno it most of the important posts are deleted without the concerned developers reading it!

Ya especially feedback by senior member for hillbeast & not stupid feedback by stupid noobs who have recently joined this forum (who dont know history of this fotum).

@ misledz

Well said brother
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Hetalk:
@OP .. or anyone else ... care to explain all this in a more of layman's term. Just for literarily inept people like me.

What exactly happened? What was posted and then removed?

Only then I might be able to participate in this debate.

Flame me for my opinions but not for my questions.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
More or less when we placed our expectations on HB we had hoped there would be more of a response than ignorance. Instead the posts got deleted, thread got cleaned and such.

@krazzy Wow I didn't think id' see you here too :P
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Hetalk:
^^ Now I see what exactly you're saying.

Even I felt that after months(weeks if you say so) of inactivity for a much awaited and critical development, asking for a ETA(disguised or not) shouldn't be considered a taboo/bane.

People (current senior members) knew(anticipated) this was critical to further development for this device, and decided to donate for a device to get a willing (note this word) and experienced developer to help in this project.

For new users , before posting anything, please understand that lack of development on this front is taking a toll on the very few developers we have for this device. I personally know a couple of devs, who could have helped in this development, if it really happened, who have moved on for greener pastures.

I repeat, these seniors who are (unnecessarily?) asking for ETAs aren't asking after a week from initial announcement/donation.

This is just my opinion, as I felt obliged to post it.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] matapollos:
I agree with you:

But it is also true that most of the time things are not done the way they should be. I'll use as an example Hillbeast's Kernel 3.x thread too:

Since the beginning, hillbeast stated users should use [Q/A] thread for inquiries and different stuff instead of the development thread, but people continued posting questions in that thread. At first, hillbeast answered almost every question; then, people started asking for ETA and such annoying things, and that's something we could not allow. Finally, moderators appeared and cleaned the whole thread, and now they keep it 'cleaned', also deleting questions not directly related with kernel 3.x development, which at first were more or less tolerated.

To sum up, the ones who worsened the situation were we, people who don't understand the current problems developers are facing, and that led to moderators deleting posts of people just asking questions because they are noobs or they want to know what's going on.

I know it because I've been in this forum for a year and a half (I am not a developer nor a contributor, so I try to keep quiet and just press thanks or give some feedback, that's why I only have a few posts), and i've been reading that thread regularly, at least once a day, since the first post.

I am not blaming anybody, I just think that the way moderators behave has its own reasons...

As we say in Spain, "Al final pagan justos por pecadores", that means something like: "In the end, pay righteous people because of sinners" (sorry for the translation, that's the only way I came up to express it.

Cheers!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
@matapollos that's going as my status for the day :)! And that has so much truth to it, I've been watching the HB thread ever since it started. Seen the people who took the initiative to help him but a developer is only as strong as the community that favors him, If anything HB should have kept his word, the community had kept theirs on the phone. It just feels---wrong? Yes you will help and answer but there's a saying in english, All bark and no bite. Actions should match what was preached.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mikef:
As I just woke up and haven't had any coffee, I am not going to do anything with this yet until I have a chance to go through it properly.

OK, gotta run off to work, but here is something.

Thanks.

I assure you that I am taking actions based on reports. I do not own a Galaxy SL so I am not here other than for mod purposes.

I am taking actions based on reports entered by the community members here. Since I do not own a Galaxy SL I am not a member of any of the factions here.

People scared to ask questions? Really? That would be news based on the number of questions that keep getting asked.

Can you give specific examples of your threads which have been copied to other device forums please?

As far as thread cleaning/deleting posts, I can promise that I have not deleted one single bit of "crucial" information.

I have to go for now, but I will continue this later. I want to work with you guys, but I also am required to do certain things for reasons you are not aware of. I am happy to explain them wherever possible.

Thank you,

Well said Misledz.

My own recognize developer list have only one name still, trying to get it more, however, they still yet to be right.

i have once donate a SL to a XDA member(or Developer?), and now he's still not yet recognized by public (or XDA?) what is going on here at SL forum?:confused:

for the MOD, I think they are fair enough, rules is rules, it mean to be follow, but...still...... anyone missing Jay here ?:victory:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ggclanlord:
Another trend I've noticed, is the rise of the "unofficial" moderators.

People "spamming" on almost every post.

Best example would be a newbie on XDA asking for something like an ETA, and the damn post has 20+ replies saying Donot Ask for ETAs.

This was just an example.

I see that there are more of such posts, than that of regular queries.

This makes checking threads sometimes very much irritating. Opening a thread only to find out just another reply moderating previous posts.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kkrraazzyy:
brother i have always visit i9003 section when i visit xda
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] SaeberTooth4U:
moderation shd be strict. so as to keep only usefull n informative posts. else we all will be lost in huge amt of posts.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] samisax:
I have to agree with you.

This forum is for developers. Testers and noobs are here as visitors and if they are looking around for information, they should search very hard before distracting the major contributors. Testing helps the devs, but harassment doesn't. Testing doesn't mean complaining about battery life. That is what spoiled children do. Thinking about yourself. People who have questions will always find the answer to their questions by searching. If there is no answer anywhere to be found (extremely rare), start a new thread in the General Section. It's simple.

I'm neither a developer nor a programmer. But I know my place and just say what's necessary and search very very hard before asking a question. At least I try. I think about the developers that use this forum to work on phones and don't appreciate it when someone who obviously has no interest in development comes and makes demands as though a ROM or a MOD or any feature or bug is the responsibility of these devs.

I find it crazy when I see non-devs here with hundreds of posts.

It would make much more sense for everyone to keep quiet and read. No need to comment on every thread you go through. ESPECIALLY if you're not developing or solving a problem.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] matapollos:
samisax, you have my sympathy! You have written exactly what I was thinking. It annoys me when I see people demanding things to developers, as if they were their employers...

At least in this thread I've realised there's still people with good manners that knows when they may ask for something from others or not.

I'm really really relieved. Thank you guys
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Mf2112,

Firstly I would like to thank you for taking the time to sit and read through this and place your points on the table along with your opinions. In a way the thread wasn't that hard to find (Considering the Triangle and the word "Moderator" brings people to see what's being said, pretty nifty tactic I learned over at the GNexus side LOL) as much as I would like to press thanks, the ever so wonderful system has permitted me from my daily 8 limit. And I would do so because this was more or less the response I least expected, in the sense, it's a good response, infact an unbiased one but touches all areas, like a pedophile checking his new victim.

Before I start this, I have no ill intention towards HB, but the whole ETA in the HB thread turned sour only because the agreement between developer (I would hold my word on the developer part) and community was made in exchange. Yes his help was sought out because we had believed that XDA is a place where people share their expertise. Do what is agreed upon (with a fair deal ofcourse) and we don't place any high expectations or hopes in such. But when it's been half a year, that's when things start to roll considering with each passing month, another flagship Class A/B phone get's launched, which is the initial reason why the ETA's went up in flames (But ofcourse this only applies to who ACTUALLY can do something with it). I would have agreed if HB had stated what he lacked, and why he was unable to provide so, he had done initially in the beginning, but when it was more of "Speak first, we listen, then show us what you have done" he turned all silent, which turned tides.

There were 4 phones donated, DoomLord, Fuss132, dhiru, codeworkx. Each of them presented something within a short time of the device they were given, I mean such is the expectation isn't it? I know pooling isn't a big deal considering its $5-$10 each person, but if the community was aware that there were going to be no results that would emerge then they would have donated to XDA instead and gotten a pretty gold star beside their name. I don't know if I'm being too emotional over $5-$10's, but when you climb up that harsh economy ladder from a third world country like most of us do, you suddenly get that feel of how important/valuable $1 is. (Consider the fact that some would find people crazy to spend over RS/PHP 20k over a phone where that would pay up for 1 semester of a College student)

I completely agree however of the mindless babble of those who submit no contribution but have high # of posts. It's insane. But with XDA having 5+ million online user's daily, It's hard to determine who helps and who doesn't. Which is why I've mentioned you have done a splendid job in clean sweeping the arena. Keep up the great work and sorry if this has gone a bit indepth.

@ mf2112

First of all thatnks to miledz for creating this where I can peacefully clear some points. The above post is really nice post by misledz where he has expressed feelings in a really better way that I cant in many cases.

Back to point. I know that I am target member by this community (mostly by new members). They consider me that now a days I become too negative thinking personality who continuously puts pressure on UC team (god knows where they have gone) & hillbeast. New people who dont know history I would like to tell them that whenever there is a donation happened in this forum I have personally taken interest only because I feel like I should contribute to this device in this way. While deciding developer to whom we donate device I was always careful that all community should agree upon that developer & also developer should agree to help us in most of cases in all situation (if possible).

Before donating phone to hillbeast we had donated that phone first to fuss who had done a very little work on it & most of the time phone was on his table with zero development. So when we asked fuss about this he said that he cant do anything more for this phone. So we decided to give that phone to more deserving developer who should plenty of time for development & who can help us in porting kernel 3.x or backporting kernel 3.x features for older kernel.

So finally we donated that phone to hillbeast upon an commitment that he will give time to development as much as possible. Now a days he is busy in his heavy scheduled personal life (which is obviously acceptable by everyone). But when ICS sources were released of optimus black device then everyone's expectation become high. So we all senior member expected that hillbeast should put some time & effort to use those sources (as it is the best time to utilise those sources). But when developers & senior members observed that he is not putting that much effort (because of heavily stressful job) then complaints started to raise by most of the people. I must say that I really respect him & thats why I complain to him because I think he is now like family member of this i9003 forum & we can scold or complain upon a family member :)

All these things are not known to new member so I dont blame them but they should understand that senior members are experienced person & they are one of the oldest members (not by age :p) of this community. When we senior members are putting a a complaint in a thread of developer then there must be a valid reason behind it.

Reagrding your work I must confess that I really dont have any problems. Actually I am really impressed how you do your mod work effectively. So no complaint at all from my side :) I just wanted you to know that why people (senior members) have some valid points related to hillbeast :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mikef:
I definitely understand the value of a few dollars and I don't think you are being overly emotional about it. We all work hard for our money and it just keeps getting harder every year. I also understand having to wait months to get an update from GB to ICS and having to restrain myself from asking for updates. It was extremely frustrating, especially when the devs were all working from leaked testing ROMs and there were big devs wars based on a dev getting a leak and accusing the others of "kanging" him when all he was doing was releasing HTCs ROM after he rooted it. Bugs me to no end that type of stuff wasn't shared.

So let me understand then, hillbeast did not get one of these phones initially, but got it 6 months ago? Or more recently than that? As I recall reading, the initial stuff hillbeast was working on was the 2.6.35 kernel work which did make some progress, but the project got stuck and now he is working on the 3.0 kernel since the platform is moving from GB to ICS. I also recall that the ICS source code for this phone only got released 9 days ago, not sure if that included kernel source as well, but that might need to be factored into any expectation timelines.

Thank you,

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] samisax:
Vishal you've always said some very important things. Just be careful with one thing. The only thing you need to do to become a "Senior Member" is talk a lot. It doesn't mean anything. There are many "Senior Members" who don't know the first thing about Android or how to behave on an online forum.

The mods have been doing great work, with your help. I'm willing to be that a few hundred of your posts are about thread/post reports in the mod thread.

Cheers.
