Hi

Yesterday I flashed the newest CM 12.1 (Android 5.1.1) and GApps on my Oneplus One, after an Update failed.

Everything workes fine, except "com.android.phone" keeps crashing every few seconds and I lose my mobile connection. When in flightmode, this doesn't happen.

Any ideas how to fix this?

greetings

Why update is failed? Maybe problem in this. I sit on Hazy and CyanogenMod and com.android.phone is not crashing.

I know that crashing messages.

I am also having this issue every once in a while. But I've been on COS12 for weeks now.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] R3s1stanc3:
Well first I was on the default CyanogenOS, shipped by Oneplus. I became the message for a new update and created a backup with TWRP. After updating, I tried restoring the data from my backup and somehow that broke my phone, so I installed the newest nightly. I tried deactivating mobile internet but the error still appears all the time. The phone gets a new mobile connection and shortly after com.android.phone crashes.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BABACHORI:
Try to freeze com.android.phone(delete if problem is not gone) and install other or same but new version. I don't know is it solve issue, but you can wipe all via fastboot(fastboot flash boot, etc)

[Galaxy Note 4 General] kalinskym:
Can anyone link me to a custom rom that gets rid of the memory leak present in Note 4 on 5.0.1. It's crazy that Samsung would even release 5.0.1 they should have skipped straight to 5.1. My ram usage will not go below 2.1GB. I have tried Clean Master, Battery Doctor, Rebooting and Force Kill.

It has to be a custom rom with Touchwiz not Cyanogenmod because I love the Note 4 features :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tmac31:
there isnt any memory leak on any samsung lollipop only s6 has it.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] darkbahamut:
I've never seen my Note 4 even get to 2GB in use, ever. What are you running to get it so high?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] toofimoofi:
He's not the only one. Ive frozen most of the services and apps and the memory use is over 2gb 99%+ of the time
[Galaxy Note 4 General] .IC3M4N.:
My only question is: Have you seen any drawbacks in usage or it is just the effect that you are looking at the available ram and you see it over 2GB and assume it is wrong? Because let me say this: Note 4 and 5.0.1 does not have memory leak. Did you experience apps crashing on a regular basis?The "memory leak" basically stops RAM from clearing out automatically and disallowing other underlying processes to make use of the space. This in turn results in the apps getting killed or crashing automatically. I assume not...apps crashing constantly is the first sign of a memory leak. The only memory leaks reported were on Nexus devices and Google patched them. So basically...free ram is wasted ram on an Android platform. And if this high usage that you see (over 2gb) does not cause apps crashing and phone slower you have nothing to worry about ;) it's just your OS working as it should :) Cheers!:o
[Galaxy Note 4 General] darkbahamut:
Where are you seeing that figure? If it's in the touchwiz memory manager than that's a misleading figure since it count cached applications in it's figure which isn't really used memory. You need to check the real Android memory stats to see the real usage.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] toofimoofi:
Im using task manger. this is with all apps killed.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] kalinskym:
K, thank you for the quick replies. It says a lot in Clean Master 85% of available memory is being used and wanting me to keep having to boost the phone. Have you guys notice any poor battery life with Bluetooth on running lollipop? Can't seem to get half a day usage even with the screen off. It also says in Task Manager 2GB+ is being used. I keep clearing it, but it does not go down. Could it be because gear manager won't close, as it will disconnect my Gear S
[Galaxy Note 4 General] 3Dpixel:
No problem here

I hope
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tata_brada:
You have only one problem to resolve. Deinstall Clean Master, don't believe in phone "boost" and some unpossible clean effect.

If you haven't problems with applications crash or freeze your "problem" doesn't exist.

Bluetooth has significant influence on battery life. Not services, but bluetooth radio itself.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] George.B:
Stop killing apps with ram booster. It will make your phone slower in reopening apps and consume more battery. Search for some articles on Google to find out why the ram cleaners or launchers with ram cleanear included are so bad for your phone. Android has a very good ram management and you don't need other programs. If you want to see less consumption on your ram disable or uninstall the apps you don't use. Try to open and close a simple task like phone book and after try the same thing after you killed the process with a ram cleaner. You will see that it takes a long time to re-open, and also your procesor will work harder to open the app.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] monkor:
I'm still going over some logcats but I'm positive the way 5.0 handles RAM is a problem. Haven't been able to pinpoint the issue yet but 5.0 is definitely allocating memory differently than 4.4 and not necessarily in the best way.

Why am I doing any of this? Because fun of course, but also because I noticed home screen redraws were becoming more frequent, and apps were refreshing when a device that has 3gb of RAM shouldn't experience too often. When compared to my Note 3 on 4.4, side by side, running some taxing apps, I've seen a substantial difference.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] kalinskym:
K thank you. Will uninstall Clean Master and see if my performance improves. Report back. Anyone found a way to open camera when rooted without unlocking phone with fingerprint by double tapping home button. Sorry about posting it in this fourms, just wondering. Hope the Zerolemon battery case improves my battery life, getting it soon. Heard it's not very accurate being that it has 3 batteries and the phone doesn't always get the right reading
[Galaxy Note 4 General] sirwanesmail:
I have the same thing here even i noticed apps need to refresh when multitasking frequently
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Psycho_666:
i think there are a few leaks in 5.0.1, so far we have 1 leak fixed in the kernel and 1 in the rom (thanks to robocik) but ram usage remains high.

not that that is a bad thing...apps only open faster, so that's good, but especially the touchwiz redraws are insane after a while.

every time you press the home button or the greenify button, it redraws the launcher completely.

so even after 2 fixes it's still present :mad:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tmac31:
im using totaly stock and my ram usage is 1.83 gb constantly with tw launcher and nova makes it 1.6 or something. never saw a single launcher redraw on note 4 and ram usage was totaly same for me on kitkat too. im having serious ram issues on s6 but didnt see any problem with note 4 lollipop
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Psycho_666:
odd, if i don't use greenify and just stock touchwiz i have an average of 2.3Gb of ram in use :confused:

and it redraws the launcher on every press on the home button :eek:

thankfully the n4 doesn't have it as bad as the s6, but it could be a lot better ;)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Batfink33:
Never had a launcher redraw using Nova and Servicely to kill apps on screen off. I'm running at around 2.2GB of ram usage always.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tmac31:
dunno generally i dont even close any app and i dont have any problem with ram or multitasking.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] kalinskym:
Seems like the majority of users in this fourms use Nova Launcher. Does it decrease the ram usage. At the moment I am running Flow Home, I think it redraws everytime the home button is pressed.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] darkbahamut:
The only problem here is people are using applications that are counting the cache as in use. The issue is with the problem you are using, nothing more.

The ONLY useful stats come from the stock android memory stats which truely report the memory situation. Seriously, anyone claiming well over 2GB in use, post a screenshot of the android memory stats from the stock setting and we'll see.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] monkor:
I'm using Eclipse MAT and /mem/procinfo so...no.

I have found that System was using nearly 1GB...not sure if it's something in the way 5.0 handles free memory or what. Still working on it when I have the chance, then I'll report to Google
[Galaxy Note 4 General] mythos234:
Actually the Linux Kernel and TouchWiz and Android are all stuffed with memory leaks. Granted, the one in 5.0 is more severe than the usual bunch, but even with that one solved, touchWiz won't dissapoint you with leaks that quickly. But then again, unused RAM is wasted RAM. Unless you actually run out of it and can't do anything at all, there is no problem and you don't need to be concerned ;)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ikari87:
Yes.

Before upgrade: an app crashing once every two weeks. After upgrade: an app crashing more than 3 times a day, sometimes over 15.

Then stop assuming only to discredit other users and refuse help. This made me angry and sad enough to make me reply no matter how old or new your post is (and buried with 2-3 pages of confirmation that the new ROM really has a problem, so the original question is very very valid.

So you just said Note 4 has a memory leak on 5.0.1.

So... back to square one, is there any custom ROM that solves this? Or are there any good 4.4-based ROMs for Note 4 that I can flash over 5.0.1 and have a fast phone again that reacts to my touches in less than 2 seconds? if there are, I'd like to state that I wasn't bothered by the samsung preinstalled software and I actually want to keep some of it, plus definitely want to have working S-pen.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] .IC3M4N.:
I am sorry that you did not understand what I was saying. English is not my mother tongue and maybe I did not make myself clear. My post was not intended to discredit other users. Your conclusions are wrong...I spoke from my point of view, becquse I do not have problems with apps crashing and other memory leak related stuff. You can try Wanam Lite...if you have the exynoss variant. I tried them all and this is the best rom for me. And please next time you should try and stop assuming I was trying to discredit users. I repeat: english is not my mother tongue. You could at least try and explain nicely because I may have used the wrong words! Have a nice day and the best of luck.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] mythos234:
Did you do a factory reset after flashing? What are you even running? Crashing apps like this don't sound like a leak. They would be force stopped if the Ram ran out and the effect would be far worse than occasional crashes. Did you check if all 3GB was used? Did you take a DMESG to confirm the taskkiller did it? Assuming that it's a memory leak without providing any data is an empty assumption. Your problem might be completely different. So please provide some extra data so we can find out.

Yes, there are memory leaks. Many in TouchWiz, many more in the kernel and a giant one in Android itself. They are always there and nothing will eradicate all leaks.

Also: The response with the assumption by the user above has a point too. 2.1GB can be misinterpreted as memory leaks, especially if you don't exactly know what they are and normal TouchWiz RAM usage might be seen as a problem. This mistake happens. And unless your OOM-Killer kills off tasks because of empty RAM there indeed is no problem with the leaks. Having said that, please don't escalate the situation and lets keep talking in a normal manner.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] MDaveUK:
Going back to stock 4.4.4 (de-bloated) is the best if you want responsiveness over the long term, no bad memory leaks compared to the mess that is TouchWiz on 5.0 and Android 5.0 itself.

A polished up KitKat is better then a buggy Lollipop. You lose absolutely nothing going back, only gain (xposed).
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ikari87:
This is correct, but it wasn't mine assumption, I just pointed out contradictory statements :). I do not know what exactly is causing the fact that the user experience is much worse since upgrade. I will probably faster downgrade than investigate it much. Memory usage ~2.3GB is not a hint either way. It was ~1.7 before the upgrade anyway, and the phone could still squeeze 3 huge apps in the memory at once. Now it's not really happening. I'm more annoyed by the fact that things got much slower than by the crashes. Anyway — this is really not the discussion that I want to make.

Yes, so... my main point is the question: can you recommend any 4.4.4-based ROM? :) Stock is the only option, or the last resort? Maybe I can gain twice.

Second question: there are no problems downgrading, right? No "mismatched kernel versions", anything? I need to triple-check I'm on the safe side.

Especially that for some reason my recovery does some sad loop instead of showing me the recovery menu (the one with wipe caches, etc). Not sure why (it's TWRP, I might trying reflashing it or putting CWM there)

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpencerKM:
Hi everyone,

I have a Nexus 5 that, up until recently, was unlocked and rooted. However, my power button started giving me issues, and after looking around online I determined it was a hardware issue. My phone is still within the warranty period, so I decided to unroot, re-lock, and reset the warranty flags. To do so, I used WugFresh's Nexus Root Toolkit. This seemed to work fine.

However, later on my battery died while I was out away from home. When I plugged it in overnight to charge, I woke up to find that it was stuck on the flying dots boot animation. I haven't been able to get it to start up since then.

All the solutions I find require flashing a custom recovery, or the factory image. However, I can do neither, since my bootloader is now locked.

I've also tried re-unlocking the bootloader using both the NRT and the manual method described here. The final reboot never progresses past the flying dots animation, and when I hard reset and relaunch into fastboot mode, it tells me that the bootloader is still locked.

As an alternative, I tried booting into recovery mode/recovery menu and doing a factory data reset there. I get the following error messages:

E: failed to mount /cache (Invalid argument)
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't open /cache/recover/log

... and so on for every folder it tries to access on the cache partition. Afterwards, when I reboot, same problem. Flying dots and that's it.

Note regarding all of the above: in each case I've tried to let the boot animation run for as long as possible just to make sure. At minimum, I've let each method go for at least an hour and a half, but it never progresses any further.

So. How screwed am I? Does anybody have a solution to get my phone working again?

Yes, there is a flashable kernel in the nc1 flasher op. When you are selecting the files to flash in safestrap, select the kernel as the final zip. After the rom flashes, uncheck the reboot box and safestrap will flash the remaining zips. When all zips are flashed select reboot system, and wait. The first boot can take up to twenty minutes.

When it starts to boot the safestrap screen will pop up a couple of times. This is"normal", don't touch it or it won't progress. This happens with each reboot unless safestrap is removed.

Anyone have experience with any wireless charging car mounts? I love the convenience of my magnetic mount, but the phone is too slick for it. Considering a different brand with a larger magnet, but I'm also considering going to a wireless charging car mount. I like the idea of the iOttie, because of the one-handed operation, but I'm open to other products as well. Any advice?

Hi

I like the look of the iOttie wireless charger. I have no experience of wireless chargers. Will it output enough power to charge the phone while running apps like Waze for navigation? All I know is that my standard car charger could not keep up the charge on my S4 while I was running Waze until I got a new 2A car charger.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] neotekz:
i just did this with my old owl wireless car mount that didnt work with qi. It was really easy with a hot glue gun and charges as fast as the samsung qi charging pad. One thing i would suggest is to use the qi charging board with the usb charging port connected by wires so you can easily place it anywhere.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] flu13:
Honestly, not likely. Even with the standard desktop Samsung wireless charger, I'm charging at around 340 mA. I would think that screen on and GPS and all that would consume more power than that, but I could be wrong. I think that if you're looking for a good, steady power supply, you want a cable. If you want convenience and at least some power, then wireless would work.
