[Moto X Q&A] eyc:
I recently rooted my VZW 4.4 non-DE, and the only problem I'm seeing is that my "me" contact has vanished. I first noticed the issue in my quick settings pulldown. There is a tile in the top left, but it's just a stock cartoon image of a head. If I click it, i get the message "The contact does not exist." If I go into the "people" app, there is a tiny "ME" in text at the very top, but there is no actual contact that I can access at all.

Any ideas? (Prior to root, it was working just fine.)

EDIT: I'm seeing that logging into Google+ might do the trick. I'll give that a shot.
[Moto X Q&A] chrisdf:
For anyone having this issue, on the newer OS, you must have installed Google+ and SYNC at least once, the you can prevent it from syncing after.

of course, you must have a google+ profile correctly configured and tied to your phone gmail account.
[LG Optimus 2x] Demonicus5800:
Hi everyone. I've installed TheROM build 23 on my beloved Optimus 2X, everything was great, everything worked, but now 1 problem occured for me - Google Settings (Google Play Services) started to FC every time on startup. I've had this problem on tonyp's ParanoidAndroid ROM, the T5 build had no problems with this, and with this rom this problem re-appeared. It could happen either after I changed the DPI settings in TheROM Hybrid menu, or after installing feav's camera, which i guess is not the case. I've tried to reset the DPI to back what it was, to clear all the data of Google Play Market, Services, Framework, and it still FC's. Anyone had the same problem? Any ideas on how to fix it?
[LG Optimus 2x] jcdid:
Try Parameters => Applications => All => Menu touch screen => Re-init preferences..

Reboot and retry.

So, i had the same issue last week on TonyP Build 5, no way to recover (even deleting and restoring Play store).., just after a couple of hours after flashing Camera feav.. Only way was to restore previous save of Rom via CMW..

Hi,

I am on nexus 5 kit kat stock, multitasking is so bad,it seems to me i have Samsung s3 again in my hands, despite now i have 2 GB of RAM.the problemi is i have about 500 MB free RAM and kit kat starts killing apps .Anyone ?

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
This is nothing like my s3. The s3 was terrible.

Of course apps start getting killed. Its called oom (out of memory). If you're having problems (or if you THINK you're having problems) adjust your oom via script or whatever. Plenty of info in a Google search for that

I had Samsung s3 and note 2.s3 was terribile for multitasking, note 2 was much better than nexus 5.changing oom groupings is now difficult because they changed in KitKat.i think there is some limit in KitKat.because i can only have 12 items open despite free RAM, a lot of free RAM ...sede my screenshots

You mean minfree, not oom.oom have changed in KitKat and no script-apps works.min free can be changed but they have to 'match' with oom.so,at the moment,KitKat has bad multitasking,starting to kill apps even if you have a lot of free ram

What are you guys multitasking? Games?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxpower7:
I haven't encountered this for the most part, but Chrome is a notable and frustrating exception. If I have Chrome open (even one tab) and switch to another app, the page will always reload when I go back to Chrome. With my S4, I could pull up Chrome literally days after the last time I used it, and whatever page I was on was still in memory and didn't have to be reloaded. I'm pleased with multitasking on the N5 for the most part, but the reloading in Chrome is really irritating.

Despite the fanboy part for those devs, can you be specific and enlighten us why do you think that?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
Every review says otherwise. Never had any slow downs multi tasking but then I close what I'm not using.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
minfree is oom and it is working as normal.

Check your values using:

cat /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree

By default mine are:

12288,15360,18432,21504,24576,30720

I can indeed confirm that if I:

echo "12288,15360,18432,21504,24576,30721" > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree

...cat will show me the change.

Of course, as you know these values are set by the kernel and will not persist beyond a reboot - so you need to use script manager or ini.d to apply at boot with root permissions.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaetanolip:
ok guys,

mahe this little try , please:

1)install system panel app from market

2) open as many app as possible on your nexus 5

3 open system panel and chech how many apps are listed and how much is the free ram ...

you will see that you 'll have at max 12-13 items listed in "active applications", then nexus will start killing apps BUT you have still 500-550 free RAM!!!

so, why 500 unused free ram???multitasking should be better...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Mine is hanging around the 19 apps mark. And even when an app is "dropped" from here in the "Active apps" section in system panel, I re-open it and it opens to the place in the app where I left it (Tapatalk is a good test for this) so perhaps only you're having this issue.

As long as an app doesn't "lose it's place" then multitasking is doing it's job, so again - all I can say is no issues here,
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giannis_ch:
I have never experienced a real world scenario where apps are killed. The only case was when i tried to multitask 3d games like Asphalt 8, Real Racing etc, where i can play up to 3 games at the same time and usually when i open a 4th game, the 1st is killed and i have about 500MB free RAM.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donald.dk:
Use greenify. It will drastically improve your situation. Kills all tasks that you don't want to actively running in the background.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndrasLOHF:
If it's bothering you that much look into Zepplinrox's Supercharger scripts. It can completely reprioritize you apps,set new custom optimal oom settings on your device, and change how many apps can stay in memory before android starts killing them. You can even set up apps to never ever be killed using the Bulletproof script. I don't have any issues on KitKat but the scripts made a huge difference for me on my Evo LTE with 1gb RAM.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=991276
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaetanolip:
i know boyh greenify and v6 supercharger ( the latter isn't ready for kitkat yet) , because i isued them in my note 2 togheter with swap file.

I changed minfree but the situation is the same, there must be another limit in backgroun apps in kitkat.

But all those are workarounds, the poi remains the same:

why cannot i use my free ram? why android kills apps whe i have still 500-600 mb of free ram?

It is a shame...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xybur:
I've found multitasking to be great on this phone. I've yet to run into an issue with apps closing themselves. Then again, I'll occasionally close apps that I have open that I know I'm not using, but I definitely have had 10+ apps running concurrently, able to switch between them, and no lag/memory leak issues that I can tell.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SymbioticGenius:
I too ran CM and ktoonsez kernel and while they made a huge difference then, the Nexus5 blows every phone I've used thus far out of the water and is the first phone I've used without CyanogenMod without major complaint. I also haven't had any of the multi tasking issues but I use the trickster mod app with many kernel changes

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IZ7799:
(Ill just get this out of the way at the start: I'm an Apple guy :eek:)

A year ago I bought a nexus 7 tablet (WiFi Only 2012 "grouper" model) because I realized how locked down Apple is :good:. I decided a couple of months ago to root it using the Nexus Root Toolkit and it went without a hitch. When KitKat came out I decided to unroot and install stock 4.3 and upgrade to KitKat (again worked perfectly no issues). Then I realize yet again that the Android stock sucks when compared to a rooted rom :D. Long story short I end up deciding to give Cyanogenmod a try since I've heard a lot of hype about it. I used the installer that they gave and was able start the process. About 1/4 into the install of the OS the installer decided to stop and quit (it gave me an error but i did not record it). The whole time the cyanogenmod mascot (blue android looking thing with the raised hand) remained on the screen of my device. I quit the installer and tried to run it again, and it could not locate my device. I tried rebooting my device using every method I know (Power, Volume, etc.) but i can to even get to the bootloader. When I try to reboot it comes up with the white Google logo for about 7 seconds or so and then pulls up the Cyanogenmod dude and my computer does not recognize the device (or so I think)

I'm trying to give as much info as possible as I am a COMPLETE newbie to Android. Steps made as dumb as possible would be very helpful :D! If you need a picture of the screen I'm seeing just ask. (And I'm not worried at all about losing data)

-Quinton

(P.S. Stupid me decided I was too cool for a recovery, so I don't have one)

EDIT: Well I guess thats what I get for being an Apple guy... Apparently restarting your computer can fix absolutely anything :D

[Asus Transformer TF700] ZoldarVL:
I have very slow transfer speed when copying files from my nas through SMB. When I use Ghost Commander I get 75KByte/s and when I use ES File Explorer I get 160 KByte/s. My wife gets 1.5 mega bytes per second using Ghost Comander on an Empire M1009 tablet. This is what I checked: I am connected to my router on 65Mbps and when using speedtest I get 7.3 Mb(its)ps on my wifi. Also I'm using stock rom.

I searched the forum and found some related posts, but unfortunatly without a solution I could use.

I hope someone can point me in the right direction because the slow transfer speed drives me nuts.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sparksd:
The speed issue is not with the WiFi but the slow memory installed in the tablet.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
So you are saying the TF700 can't write more than 160 kB/s to its memory?

Do you have *any* evidence for this?
[Asus Transformer TF700] ZoldarVL:
I know about the slow memory, but when downloading files from the inet directly I get 1,5MByte/s. Also copying from and to sd card is a lot faster than 160KByte/s. It must be something else. Maybe the way TF700 handles the SMB protocol.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ZoldarVL:
I did some aditional testing (I really should have thought of this earlier). I turned FTP on on my NAS and used ES File Explorer using the FTP tab and got >1.5 MByte/s transfer rate. Which isn't great either but a mayor improvment on the 160KB. So it must be the SMB protocol handled on my TAB.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ZoldarVL:
Yesterday I updated my NAS firmware and now on SMB in ES File Explorer I get the same speed as in FTP (1.5-2 MBytes/s). Which is a huge improvement. So I guess the combination of the NAS firmware and the TF700 SMB handling was the problem.

One question remains. Is1.5-2 MBytes/s this the highest transfer speed I can expect when downloading a file due to the slow memory I/O?
[Asus Transformer TF700] ageur:
SMB android

I'm getting same problems

slow transfert from my synology to my TF700 (and 701 too) using ES file explorer and SMB protocol

Same thing on a windows computer and my transfert is x5 : so it's not the synology, not the wifi...

and quick transfert with FTP protocol : so it's not the memory or the SD card too...

my guess is that SMB library are not very efficient... or bad setup?
[Asus Transformer TF700] ZoldarVL:
Fiddled arround with this slow SMB some more and I found that when streaming video from my NAS it is very slow and basically unworkable. But when I restart my device it is fast enough (like 17Mb/s or more). The downside is that when I try to stream again after say 6 or 7 hours it is slow again and I have to restart my device again.

Do you guys maybe know a way to restart the SMB stuff on my device without restarting my whole device?

Help is much apreciated.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Turn off WiFi optimization in advanced WiFi settings. Also may help to set it to disconnect whilst sleeping in there too.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ZoldarVL:
Tried what sbdags said but unfortunately it doesn't help. It is related to SMB protocol only. When I use youtube for instance to watch a clip transfer speed is fine.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ZoldarVL:
The solution provided by Sbdags triggered me to try turning Wifi off en on again and what do you know SMB is fast again. So whenever it gets slow again I don't need to reboot anymore. I should have thought of this earlier.
[Asus Transformer TF700] bradslinux:
Ran into this late in the thread.....

My WiFi performance to internal storage is 2-3 MB/s, I have a USB gigabit ethernet adaptor plugged into the KBD/dock USB host and get 7-8 MB/s.

This shows that the slow speeds are a WiFi issue and not a SMB issue. Considering that 7-8 MB/s is close to the max write speed of the crappy internal storage, this is pretty good for SMB performance and the TF700 over a wired net.

Not sure if the poor WiFi performance is an Android issue or a tf700t hardware issue.

[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
I have never seen more than 2-3MB write speeds over my network from any android device. My wired pc gets 5.5MBs.

Yea, I see the same WiFi performance (or lack of) with my Note 3 and Nex 7 Grouper. I haven't played with the USB wired NIC (OTG) ....yet. I suspect the same or similiar results...if it works at all. Soooo it is either Androids implementation of WiFi | SMB.

Then if i do it again and (i'm lucky), I press the power button and then the LG logo comes on and then I press the power button again at the right time, then the ROM's logo (which is just android, using the new SlimKat ROM) comes up and then I can use my phone.

searched these forums but am not reassured that I'm going about this the right way to get the rooting process over and done with as there doesnt seem to be much info on rooting 4.1.2. Better to be safe and ask than to be sorry...

Android version: 4.1.2

This thread says I have to look under kernel version for something similar to 2.6.35.7-I9100XXKG1-CL349526 but this info seems to have been moved from kernel version with 4.1.2.

I'm

guessing

that i should use CF-Root-SGS2_XW_OJV_KF1-v4.0-CWM4.zip based on my CSC but don't see anywhere in this thread if I can use this rooting method for 4.1.2.

This thread also asks you to look at kernel code similar to XWLPX-NEE but this does not exist under kernel version on my phone. Now I'm not sure if I should use XWLSD (bootloop fixed) or XXLS8-FOP (Jellybean) as both of these are relevant to my device info.

Or should i use this method and run superoneclick later?

Any clarification would be thanked and appreciated!

No problem asking, but its not that there isnt much info about rooting, its that there is far too much.

My answer depends on exactly what you want, with a view to present and future desires.

If you want root and cwm you can flash apollo/siyah or philz kernel.You can do it by odin, or see what signed zips are available to use stock recovery.

You should also run a kernel cleaning script.
