[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] thesomnambulist:
2 days ago, for no apparent reason, my phone suddenly became extremely slow. I rebooted it, and it was fine for a few minutes, then it became slow again. I was running stock 8.1 rooted. I uninstalled any recently installed apps, and ran a virus scan. The thing that seemed really odd to me was that the boot animation was slow. I wiped the phone and installed LineageOS, which was not any faster. I have now wiped and installed the latest factory image, downloaded from essential's website, and it is still so slow as to be unusable. Anybody have any thoughts on this? I purchased the phone on prime day 2018, so it's like 3 months past it's warranty.

Well, [MENTION=4834395]thesomnambulist[/MENTION] after using speed reading techniques to carefully read that foreign policy and about 12.2 seconds there Ali I immediately inclined to tell you that your phone is not bricked. Message me.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] IronRoo:
Did you get the Essential resources & services updates last week via Google? Several people on the news forum threads related to the Android 10 update have also experienced very slow phones. Could it be related? Eg conflict with another app or the network you are connected to etc?

Though yours could be hardware issue.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] thesomnambulist:
At the time it happened, I was on 8.1, and not taking any updates. I'm leaning towards a a hardware issue since it persisted past a wipe and re-image on stock Android 8.1, Lineage OS 16.0, and stock Android 10.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] samep:
I've been getting slowdowns with my essential since Android 10 update. I'm also rooted with Magisk and did the updates with the momentary restoring of stock image, then OTA with patching the OTA partition prior to reboot method (Magisk OTA method).

I keep thinking it's the Nova beta launcher slowing me down. But I did get the slowdown once with QuickStep 10 launcher. It's mostly been Nova beta updates; 6.2.2 update seemed much better for just a day and started slowing until I just couldn't launch any apps again. Weird! Reboot and switch home default again.

I haven't been aggressive with wiping user data or trying other Android versions. I did freeze a few apps with no significant result. Currently, I'm hoping things are stable and fast with the stock launcher. That's only been since last night though.

I mentioned this in one of the Android 10 threads but not getting much feedback there. I've sent txt files to Nova development through the Nova beta app but got no response yet.

And I have diagnostics sharing disabled for essential and Nova. Thinking about reenabling those.

Magisk 19.3 or canary? 19.3 doesn't play well with Android 10. If you are on 19.3, Update to canary or Banks version:

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=80249962
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] samep:
Magisk 19.3 carried over from Pie is what I'm using.

Doesn't play nice, how? I've not lost root but the slowness I've experienced seems to be with Nova beta launcher.

Thanks in advance. I'm looking for clarification is all. I have read what you're saying elsewhere but not understanding the issue.

Also I see that Banks doesn't support OTA; right there in your link. Does Canary? Not sure how to switch either? I was even considering no root for a while but steady so far with QuickStep 10 launcher. If I give it minimum of two days without the slowdown, I may just leave it as is longer to see if I'm the clear with the slowness. But I can read up on the Magisk issues in the meanwhile too.

I have a good ad blocker; it didn't require root. The things I'm patching seem to be things to just have root. I've ran out ideas for root I guess. I haven't had gravity box since nougat. Stock ROM and kernel and a desire to update security patches quickly without having to plug in is where I've been since finally abandoning nougat.

I even had a banking app tell me to disable developer options to securely sign in. I uninstalled the app and went online to sign in. Unlocks were done in adb so disabling developer mode and rebooting shouldn't lock them back down, should it? It just concerns me because oem unlock is in developer settings. I see Essential phone bricks in these threads so I'm not going to forcibly lock my bootloader. I'd rather avoid things that may jeopardize my phone. And I'd rather wait another year before upgrading.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] freshlysqueezed:
I would suggest no root then.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] thesomnambulist:
That's interesting, as I was initially rooted with Magisk as well, using Novo launcher. I'm not sure either of those are related to my issue though, since I've installed LineageOS without root or Novo launcher as well as stock Android 10 without root or Novo launcher, and the problem has persisted with all of them. Essential support has been absolutely no help, and as much as I liked this phone, I will not be doing business with them again simply because of their attitude in responding to me. That being said, I think I'm going to try to wipe everything manually, and go through the flashing process one partition at a time, and see if I can get anything working.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] thesomnambulist:
Just as an update, I've gone back and flashed stock android 8.1. The only errors I'm seeing in flashing this is when I go to format the userdata partition, I get the following:

I've gone into the stock recovery and wiped/factory reset the partitions there, which I believe does the same thing, and it still is running so slow as to be entirely unusable.

At this point, I'm about to call it dead, but I'm open to any suggestions anyone might have.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] samep:
Didn't the bootloader change in Android 10? I've seen partitions change with bootloaders but bootloaders aren't downgradeable for security reasons. Maybe that's ok but wiping partitions in another Android version may throw those errors?

Maybe our problems were similar with Android 10? I was using Magisk 19.3 and waited it out for 19.4 but I likely should have been on Canary build or switched immediately to Magisk 19.4 Slowdown with Nova until I couldn't launch apps anymore. With QuickStep 10, I only got to the point that I couldn't launch apps. Either case, reboot was a temporary fix that would restore UI speed.

I eventually realized I couldn't update BusyBox module with Magisk 19.3 so I updated to 19.4 through beta channel. Besides, I was having a similar issues getting to a point that I couldn't launch apps and having to reboot even with the QuickStep 10 launcher. BusyBox module updated without issue after Magisk beta update.

I'm hoping other issues may be resolved. I know I read many were using Canary build for across Android Q beta builds.

I'm just getting started with Magisk 19.4 so I may have more to add later. In your case, have you Android 10 again and see if the recovery wipes are still returning errors? If my phone doesn't improve, I may be upgrading sooner than expected. But there is a spare unlocked Essential PH-1 on my account now.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] thesomnambulist:
That's a good question. I don't think this is the case, as part of my flashing process was to flash the bootloader (for 8.1) to both slot_a and slot_b, neither of which had any errors. I believe this means that I successfully downgraded to the older bootloader (assuming that it changed in 10). I know very little about filesystems, but the error message I'm getting appears to be some kind of conflict between ext2 and f2fs. At one point in this process, I know I formatted the partitions in TWRP, and I wonder if that formatted the userdata partition with the wrong filesystem. All of that being said, I have my doubts about whether the slowness is at all related to the userdata partition, as a reboot does nothing to help. The thing that really makes me think it's not software related is that the boot animation is extremely slow, and has been regardless of what rom I have installed.

[MENTION=4834395]thesomnambulist[/MENTION], Are you confusing the boot.img with the bootloader?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] thesomnambulist:
I might be. I guess I always assumed that the boot.img was the bootloader. Please educate me.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] ktmom:
The boot.img is also referred to as the kernel. This is the central control center for an actively booted OS (or ROM).

The bootloader is the initial bit of firmware that manages the startup up from the power off state. You go through the bootloader to get to recovery or to the system/OS/ROM.

Awesome! Thanks for that clarification. I'm not new to Android, but I have a lot to learn!
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] samep:
It's been more than 2 days since upgrading Magisk to 19.4 beta on Android 10 for me.

No slowdowns or freezes. Magisk Log appears error free since update but date changed from 09-24 to 10-29? Maybe not a MM-DD date?

The last error only showed the apps I was last running before it wouldn't launch another app. But did note: beginning of crash...

Anyway, my data was kept from the OTA update from Pie to Android 10, including Magisk 19.3 until beta update. Only issue appeared to be the need to update Magisk through beta channel or switch to Canary. I said I'd have more to say later.

Next step is to switch back to Nova beta launcher and see if that remains fluid and doesn't bring back any slowness I was experiencing before the crashes. Hopefully no slowness and crashes have ceased.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] blap017:
new screen

the screen itself is likely the issue. just fixed my brothers ph-1 that started taking minutes to do anything with a new screen. hopefully this helps.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] samep:
I'm not thinking my issue was the display but using the wrong Magisk version for Android 10. This issues weren't present in Pie.

Initially I did suspect Nova launcher because the app switcher was slow and Nova just lagged until I couldn't launch apps. Stock launcher wasn't so slow but eventually I kept getting to a point no apps would launch. Magisk log did record one crash but only showed the apps I was trying to launch.

Updated Magisk and the issues were totally gone with the stock launcher for nearly 3 days. Not that I saw any issue but switched back to Nova beta launcher. Not long after that, the phone did a soft reboot (SystemUI reboot). I didn't give up on Nova but stuck with it anyway. It's been fluid since and Magisk log is clear.

Not sure if you meant my phone or OP. But consider it an update on my issue. My display glass is pristine and phone hasn't been dropped. Maybe displays go bad but I've never lost one or had it go bad.

One last issue I had with Android 10 on stock ROM, I posted my simple solution here:

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=80434297

I haven't had anyone issues with Nova beta launcher since I posted last in this thread. Happily, I think all issues are resolved for me now!
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] alex.coffen:
I can tell you that "formatting data" is the only option to fix the issue that slow boot happens after system upgraded.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] samep:
Thanks. Not sure if that was directed at me. The slowdown issue that Nova launcher was suspected of has long been resolved. My slow reboot issues seem resolved as well.

One thing I'm curious about is the last OTA security update that Essential gave us before closing shop. I know some users were having issues with root on that update; but was it because the phone shows corruption on reboot? Seems this started for me back then and I've just dealt with pressing power button to proceed on every boot.

There's a notice in yellow text to press power for reboot options. That should be ignored. But then there a red text warning that requires pressing power to proceed. If I get in a hurry, I forget to ignore the yellow notice and press power too soon and keep popping up reboot options. Lol. I fail at reading comprehension without my glasses on and recall isn't what it should be anymore. In my defense, I don't reboot often.

One reason I ask is that I've put off factory reset. I'm not sure if I can get Magisk to restore the factory boot image since it doesn't appear to be there anymore. I'm not opposed to reconnecting the PC but would prefer an easier out. I already mentioned in this thread the reasons why. The Essential phone is no longer my daily but still used for browsing when my primary is charging.

Thanks again. Advice from all readers appreciated.

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
This is exactly what I asked you not to do even when the thread was open.

Plus, she doesn't have the VS996 Pie Update yet. KDZ will be released in next few days.

She didn't close the thread because she didn't have Pie. She closed the thread because she doesn't need people bugging her.

It wasn't a real "development" thread, it was a "release" thread. Here it is, take it or leave it. You either want it or you don't. It was her personal module she was sharing with the world, when and how she wanted to.

She tested every version for days or longer on her phone before release. There were versions she did not release because they didn't pass her tests.

So when anyone complained X feature didn't work right on their phone, their comments were not only irrelevant for the purpose of the release thread, but also annoying. Her omnibus module works well on HER phone, and she tested it before release. Either go back to a previous version which does work or don't use at all.

Ideal scenario would be post Anxious V30 module release, lock the thread, post new release, lock the thread. :) No user comments needed.

The only problem is that would lock out people who had legitimate questions, not just people who don't understand she doesn't need feedback or testers for the personal module already running quite fine on her phone.

When she closed her thread she requested I take down all my AFH mirrors. So, people lost out on that vast past inventory also.

(If she ever opens it again, please do NOT annoy her with any comments about her personal module. ETA, feature requests, "bug" reports on YOUR phone, what you did to change her module and now it doesn't work for you, etc.)

Sorry for hijacking the thread to explain this yet again. It was stated over and over and over in the Anxious V30 thread.

Might as well post this here. Verizon is extending CDMA until end of 2020, instead of the much-stated deadline of end of 2019:

https://stopthecap.com/2019/08/01/verizon-delays-shutdown-of-3g-cdma-network-until-the-end-of-2020/

For people who are wondering the point... VS996 V30 has always had Verizon VoLTE on stock firmware. Even rooted stock firmware.

The issue for Verizon users is no V30 Lineage-based custom ROMs have VoLTE. So Verizon VS996 Lineage-based custom ROM users NEED CDMA to make phone calls.

So end of CDMA is the end of custom ROMs for V30 Verizon users, unless in the next year that issue is solved. The deadline has been extended.

However you can always run rooted stock firmware with Magisk (like Anxious V30 mod) and edXposed mods (like Gravity Box), and still have VoLTE.
