[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nayobix:
Hello,

There is a known behaviour about when device is low on memory (OOM is activated and last used activities are killed and resources are freed)

But I didn't find any info about how Android will handle foregrounded applications, which overloading the system. I mean starting a stress app overloads the system so much (CPU: 130%, loadavg 30, 25, 20) and there is no CPU time slot for system activities (system_server threads and so on). After a couple of minutes it starts to timeouts in FinalizerWatchdogDaemon and many other places.

Any ideas and info about this situation is appreciated.

Thanks,

B.

running a rooted stock 4.1.2 rom, and for some reason the gps doesn't seem able to lock onto any satellites or even recognize any satellites. when running the 'GPS Test' and 'GPS Status' apps, there are 0 satellites in view, and 0 connected. the icon is in the status bar blinking eternally, searching for a gps singal.

so far i've tried (from various other people's solutions on other threads):

- tightening the screws on the back of the phone

- factory reset from twrp (to the rooted stock 4.1.2 rom) (wipe data/cache/dalvik cache)

- clearing data from Google Services Framework and Maps, uninstalling Maps updates, and then rebooting the phone.

- a gps fixing patch from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1563226 (factory reset through settings + flash patch)

- removing and redownloading some a-gps files from within the GPS Status app.

- removing the battery for 30+ secs

im currently downloading a different rooted stock rom to see if it makes any difference, but not sure exactly what's wrong...

the gps icon is blinking in the status bar, which i read in other threads meant that the actually gps hardware isn't broken or anything. should i be sending the phone in for warranty?

Could it also have something to do with me not receiving the new google maps update yet? still hasn't shown up as an update in the play store for me..

- i747M TELUS S3

edit: i don't use the gps that much, so i have no idea if this is a result of the current rom in using or not, but the gps worked fine when i first bought the phone. i have since then been on various AOSP roms before reverting back to a stock rooted rom, and gps worked on at least one of those AOSP roms as well (don't use the feature all that often so i can't say for sure if it worked for all the aosp roms, but i did use it a few times with no issues).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aybarrap1:
Go here! Please search next time. This is a common issue and has been thoroughly covered.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] isdfoa:
i explained that i tried those solutions already to no avail. :(
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aybarrap1:
Did you try installing the stock ICS ROM? I know it mentions for no GPS icon at all but if you have not done it then it it's worth a go.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] hednik:
This is the only method that worked for me. I had to go back to complete factory out of the box stock and then do a factory reset and wipe everything...only then did it show up.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] beaverslayer:
Try this method. You have to be on a Stock ROM for it to work:

Easiest and most reliable way. Try this first!

Enter the Samsung service mode by typing this code into the dial pad *#197328640#

Then go to Mainmenu>UMTS>Common>NV REBUILD>NV REBUILD> (Important: don't exit the menu yet!)

Wait 30+ sec

Long press power button and select "Restart / Reboot"

Now check your GPS from any software that may use GPS like "Maps" or "GPS Status"...

All credit to harshaedvern for this easy fix

This has worked on a couple of phones that none of the other methods worked on. The problem begins when going back to a stock ROM after being on an AOSP ROM.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] isdfoa:
unfortunately this didn't work for me..

currently i'm downloading the stock 4.1.2 firmware from sammobile to flash via odin, then perform another full factory reset of the device. will report back once im finished to see if this solution works or not :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aybarrap1:
This might work. Absolute worst case is that you have to try an ICS rom.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] isdfoa:
this did it! flashed stock firmware via odin, and my gps is fine now :)

thanks everyone for the help!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jeff.leonard:
isdfoa - I know it has been a while but I would like to know if you have flashed any non Samsung ROMS since your last post? If so, did your GPS continue to work or did it quit working? Thanks
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Teirce:
My phone won't boot. I don't know what happened, but the Vol Up -> Recovery shortcut doesn't work. When I turn the device on LG flashes for a split second and then a black (but lit) screen. I can get the device in to download mode, but LGNPST will not recognize my phone on my desktop nor my laptop.

I was/currently am flashed to a July 4th build of Houston's Rootbox, CWM Recovery.

Any ideas on where to go from here?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] popshovit:
I had to go into manage devices and install the drivers on my computer. Maybe even reinstall lgnpst or use a different cable. Good luck
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Teirce:
Is it possible you could go in to a little more detail? I'm no stranger to manually installing drivers, but the device manager isn't finding anything in the (tSilenzio's LGNPST) driver folders. Switched cables but still no luck.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] popshovit:
I think I downloaded them from lg's website there's a link around here somewhere. Or u could probably Google it. I was just using lgnst the other day but I was all over the place. I forget where everything was
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Teirce:
Yeah, no dice, tried everything I could think of. Running to AT&T tomorrow and seeing what their verdict is. If they can't do anything I suppose I'm shipping it off to JTAG.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] camir22:
Howsit guys, dont know if this is the right section, apologies if it isnt....a year ago or so ,i kinda bricked my fone, it got stuck in a boot loop, so i used RSD lite and flashed a stock rom (JRDNEM_U3_3.4.3-36-1_CHINESE_SIGN_SIGNED_UCAJRDNEMARAB1B80AA03A.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNFRYORTINT_P011_A013_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf). Awhile ago i installed cm9 (CM9-NIGHTLY-121116-Defy) and noticed it would freeze up occasionally, pictures in gallery would go grey etc. Now i flashed back to stock froyo and then flashed cm10 (SJB-V3.1.7_BY-LM.(27.03-2013)_) , i did everything ,wipe data, the cache but it takes ages to boot up, it freezes up all the time and i have to take out the battery, if i open apps most of the time the fone gets stuck.

I love this rom but there are too many problems with my fone...whats the next best rom? or how can i fix it?

Any help would b appreciated :good:

Thanx

It's right there in the Development section. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2133698

Defy sometimes has these weird problems that can't be explained. Your best bet would be to flash an SBF and wipe everything using stock recovery after flashing (which you might have to do anyways to get out of a common bootloop). Then you can just do the same old 2nd init and flash a new ROM.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicksmith1989:
Hi

I have a galaxy S3 GT-I9300 running Android 4.1.2 and for the past week or so it keeps crashing and also randomly turning itself on and off. I have removed all apps I have put on it in the last few weeks but this hasn't solved the problem. I also normally have power saving mode turned on but have turned this off as I though this might help but it didn't. I only have a fw extra apps installed and they are all popular ones so cant see that been the problem, I have a few songs on and about 3200 photos on it so was wondering if I have too many photos on it. The time at when the phone crashes or turns itself off is random n happens when im using any app and sometimes I it turning itself back on even though it hasnt even been used. This is a real annoyance for me and highly inconvenient so any help would me most appreciated. I am trying to avoid doing a hard reset as I dont want to have to set up the phone again and load on my apps n stuff. If anyone knows how to fix it or any ideas on what might work please let me know and if I havent given enough info please feel free to ask me more questions.

Thanks in Advance.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Factory reset from settings menu (backup your internal sd card to your pc first) and see if the problem still happens before you install any apps etc. You might benefit from updating to the latest stock rom via odin, read the sticky guides in general on how to do this.

I have done a factory reset and only installed what's app as it's essential and although it hasn't restarted it has crashed several times today and I had to then restart it anyway. Anyone else have any ideas?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Rafael4096:
I just got my Samung 64Gig card today and shut down before inserting it.

This alone caused a mild brick. It booted to the initial "Galaxy S4" screen and never did anything else.

Tried multiple battery pulls, and with and without a card.....even with my last card.

Luckily I had done a TWRP backup yesterday. Booted to recovery, formatted internal and restored that backup; everything is fine.

Formatted the card again within Android with no problems.....even though it appeared to already be formatted.

I am running TWRP 2.5.0.3, CleanRom 1.2. This version of TWRP runs fine for me...but for the occasional freeze at TWRP screen when I start recovery from power-off state.

Anyone else had this problem? Search revealed nothing....but it could be my novice XDA search skills.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Rafael4096:
It must have something to do with this card. I am not even able to format it with my PC.

Continuing to use it actually left my phone unable to get past Samsung's initial boot screen.

TWRP still worked, but every time I tried to restore any of my backups, or to install any Roms failed.

Finally resorted to using ODIN to send a full stock image to my phone. Finally got back up and running with that.

Is it really possible that a card could cause this? I would not believe it....until now.

The weird thing is that my phone started having problems booting as soon as I inserted the card....didn't even get a chance to use it when the problems started. I assume the phones boot image was corrupted.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bryanchan727:
I think the card is not the problem.... have you tried linking stuff to your sd card before???

Sent from my GT-I9505 using

xda app-developers app
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Rafael4096:
Thanks for the reply!

Not sure what you mean by "linking".

This card was to replace the 8gig card I had in my Casio Commando...my last phone.

The 8gig got me through the entire time I had the S4...until now.

Have made backups with TWRP, restored backups, installed ROMs, the works......all with that 8gig and never had a problem.

The only things the phone uses regularly off the card are two old Casio ringtones and my photo gallery.

After reflashing my phone last night, I tried to insert the card and when it booted the phone gave me a message about the card being corrupted. I shut down and removed it. Not sure I ever want to insert it again.

The card is a Samsung microSDXC UHS-I Card, PRO. model MB-MGCGB. Brand new card out of the packaging.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bryanchan727:
You can ask the vendor for a swap due to corrupted sd.. :thumbup:

Sent from my GT-I9505 using

xda app-developers app
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Rafael4096:
Yup...may just do that. Still it leaves me wondering what went wrong.

I acquired this card via my business partner who purchased two of them.

After purchase he decided to return his new s4, opting to get an Iphone5 because he was coming off an Iphone4 and didn't like the transition.

This leaves me with two cards, one unopened.

Trying to decide if its worth the risk to try either one....now.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raphaelgoncalves:
There's this issue that's really bothering me. When I create a VPN connection system asks me to create a code (pattern, pin or password). Then, lockscreen requires my code to unlock, and it doesn't allow me to change lock back to none because, it says, it's protected under a credential storage.

If I clear my credential storage it clears my saved connections.

Now I found an app that disables lockscreen without deleting the credentials, now even though "none", "slide" and "face unlock" are greyed out, option is set to none. Too bad I want "slide", not "none". But in this case should be simpler..

Guys I need a little help here... I have Motorola RAZR MAXX with some of little problem with SMS conversations.

Before we start, here the basic info.. I have thousand of messages stored since owned an Android phone (now 18,500 messages), I'm using Galaxy Gio and right now RAZR, and never delete any SMS archive since using Galaxy Gio and migrate them to RAZR. After a year with RAZR, I'm using SMS Backup and Restore app to backup SMS archives.

And 3 months ago, SMS Backup and Restore App got some problem with "null" error which is I didn't understand and still no answer from the developer. Last week I flashed my RAZR with official JB ROM with RSD Lite and failed when I wanna restore SMS archive with normal method (one by one - forget the app) and with App Extractor done in seconds (copy the XML database and restart).

After all of that, last night almost half of my SMS conversation gone.. from 512 sms conversation became 320 conversations, I have to restore it again from the SMS Backup and Restore App but every time after restore seems my phone CPU usage gone high (60%), I think it's rebuilding the SMS database but for how long..? already 20 minutes.

Any solution or hint to fix this..? Any question for additional info are welcome...

sorry if my English were bad...

No I don't mean the store page. The page I am referring to is the one that was preset to come up when you clicked on the web button. It was a b and n page but also had the web search field as part of the page. Sorry to be a dork! Can't believe I never thought to book mark it!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] asawi:
Ok, this means you have an alternate launcher. Open the page with all your apps and look for one called "Home". That should be your stock home page If you can't find one called Home, look for "Home catcher". It's an app where you set what launcher to use when pressing "n".

Edit: Went and looked at rooted stock Tablet. Look in the bottom left corner of your home screen and there should be ymbols with 2 little houses. Touch there and you get a chance to switch to your Home, and also make it your default. "Quick switch" just switches, "Home Manager" let's you set your defailt.
