[Q] Back button not working when Ram is low (on stock ROM) - Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey i m kinda new here. I searched as much as i could for my issue but didnt find a proper thread about it so please bear with me ^_^'
I have this really annoying issue with my Xperia SP (C5302) where my back button (next to the home button) doesnt respond at all at times especially when i m gaming or when ram is low and i m using apps such as Opera or FB. Using android 4.3 Updated to 12.1.a.1.201. I bought the phone recently it already had an older version of the 4.3 jellybean. This really feels like a ram management issue. The thing is when i press it there is animation and vibration but it doesnt do the work(which is going back). The home button works fine though.. Really weird dont know what to do.... Any help is appreciated

This is a weird case. I have never encounterd a non working back button due to low ram. Sometimes it gets "stuck" but that fixes by itself pretty quick.. Happens with facebook most of the time tho..

I m not the only one... it is happening to other people but it is very rare. There are posts about it on Xperia care (talk.sonymobile.com) I cant post the links cause um a newbie here -_-
In any case should i do a factory reset? or is there any repairing options that i could try out? i really need this fixed.

Yes, it happened to me when free ram goes very low e.g. Asphalt8; you can't exit with back button, had to press home.
Could be related to poor ram management (in our stock ROMs). Maybe some "service" is shutting down which is related to back button function.. idk. If you're getting this with Opera/FB means, quite poor ram management I think.. Maybe lot of bloatware is being run in the background eating ram?
Suggest:
*Just monitor the amount of free ram with CoolTool app (at Google play), to see whether it goes very low when it happens. Cooltool itself may shutdown due to low ram..
*Try Greenify app to hibernate apps, free more ram.
*See whether anything could be done to keep more free ram, from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2751559
Edit: saw your app list. I would ditch half of the list if rooted . Chrome and FB are the first to go

Having another issue. This happened first today. I downloaded the game vector. The graphics were set to high on default and I played the game for 10 or so minutes. It worked fine. But when I exited my phone froze up. A black screen and than phone Rebooted. Man this is crazy! I'm worried if my phones damaged or not. Please can you say the reason for devices rebooting? The game didn't crash to home screen my device Rebooted while exiting. Is it a ram issue? Is it becuz it's set to the highest setting?

yaa...me to experienced sometime in stock ROM.

I'm having a similar problem like op, but in my case after some time, my phone automatically closes the apps and the back button stops working aaannndd it gets really slow, like when I press home button, it goes to home but it gets like 2~3s to show the apps on the screen and stuff like that.Then I havet to reboot my phone to work normally again.It seems to me that is a problem with the latest update and root, because I've already unninstalled everything, did factory reset and still would get this problem.

I haven't got any update notification so far, but I watched the 2.3 video. The URL feature is a great workaround until Mango allows LazyTube to be set as the default youtube video app. Running under lockscreen is nice as well, even though I'll hardly use it. But LazyTube remembering the actual position of a playing video when returning from standby is very nice.
Again, thanks for your hard work, guys. LazyTube is still the best YouTube app out there. By far.

Ah. So that's why I didn't get any notification. No problem at all. Concerning testing, my offer made on twitter still remains. If you need any help with beta testings or such, here I am *wave, jump*
Honestly, it's great to be in such close contact to developers of apps and see them improving their apps with features users wanted to have. And you guys are some of the few who do an outstanding job there.

First I just want to say this is by far the best YouTube app.
you should do that if u look for a URL and there is only one result, it should just go stright to it, so there is one less press.

Only one request, could u put a repeat setting in. So I can put on a long song and leave it on repeat this would make it perfect
Also could u tell me what u get in ur paid app, or is it just for supporting ur development ether way I will get it
Thanks
Great app guys!!!
Could you please open the secret, how you paling the YouTube video on Windows Phone 7?

Sadly, this app has stopped working for me. I don't know what has changed, but within the past week or so, I can only run the app four or five times after a soft reboot. After that, it crashes as soon as the Lazyworm apps logo screen appears.
I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling, and also tried the trial version of LazyTube, but both do the same thing. If I reboot my phone, I can run the app a few times again, but eventually it starts crashing on startup.
I've also tried installing SuperTube and EasyTube, and they both work fine (though I don't like either as much as the Lazyworm versions).

Try and contact them via Twitter @lazywormapps, Facebook or through the in app email support. They're really helpful and I'm convinced they'll get that sorted out for you.
Thanks, I'll give that a try. But I am concerned that they won't be able to do much, since it sounds like I'm the only person experiencing this problem. I wonder if I have a registry setting that is corrupted somehow, causing the crash.
The puzzling thing is that both of the other YouTube apps work perfectly.

[ROM][27/11][ICS] ICS4Fire [3G/DATA][v4][STOPPED]

Wifi will never work on this ROM, because hero and buzz have different wifi chipset. If anyone can get a ICS rom with the BCM Wifi chipset ported I can get wifi to work.
I have not got a full fix for the synaptics softkeys yet, flash the softkey mod if you have a synaptics screen or your softkeys do not work.
SuperUser is included, but it fc's, you need to flash the 3.0.7 efgh zip file from http://androidsu.com/superuser
v4 Download Link: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13729847/ICS2.zip
Wifi will not work on this ROM
[v4]Partially fixed synaptics touchscreen driver, only softkeys do not work with this ROM and that screen. You need to use the softkeys mod posted below if you want fully functioning softkeys.
[v4]Added IDC file for synaptics touchscreen, should work, if not, I have another one.
[v4]Added superuser binary and app - force closes so you need to download the zip and flash it at the link on the top of this page.
[v3]Switched to full package update, if you are coming from another rom, wipe data, if you are upgrading this rom, just flash.
[v3]Added SuperUser App due to request, seems to be not working, still need to flash the above file.
[v2]Data/3G works, calling does too, and so does texting, not sure about mic so can somebody test from the other end of the call?
[v2]Fixed build.prop with CM7 and original merge so now it picks up your network.
[v2]Swapped existing libhtc_ril.so with the one for the wildfire
[v1]Got touchscreen working and softkeys, but home softkey does not work, not so important though, back, menu and search work.
[v1]Using InfinityPLAY+ kernel with atmel.c hack to enable touchscreen, sources on my github. It says #14 for version number but it is only #10 with tweaks compiled an extra 4 times for testing.
What works:
Touchscreen, this thread helped alot with it, just had to swap and switch a bit with the code because of differences between the MSM8X60 and the MSM722X boards.
What does not work:
Bluetooth, WiFi, some other stuff.
This is just a ROM to play with, arco will bring us the real ICS.
THERE IS NO BOOT.IMG, I USE A ZIMAGE INSTEAD!
PERFORM A NANDROID BEFORE FLASHING, THIS ROM IS EXPERIMENTAL!
I will not be held responsible for ANYTHING, thats right, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE for any damage done to your device.
Wipe data first, otherwise it will fc on com.android.phone.
MODS
UI Softkeys, thanks to koush for this, edited for buzz by me: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13729847/buttons_mod.zip

Softkeys take up a little bit of the screen, and overlap the lockscreen a little too.

Anyway, if I don't post much on this topic that is because I am getting a new phone soon (Xperia Play) and so I don't have credit on my phone (to use data to visit the forum) and so when I am on the computer (after school - yes I am only 15) I will then post updates and stuff.
I will try to visit when possible
Keiran
Tried it, runs well! Impressive! will try functions now ^^
not working :
Camera
Wi-Fi (same chip than 3G, so probably same driver)
3G (CDMA)
BT (idem as Wi-Fi)
Media files not seen (SD card seenn, storage seen, but no medias on music app or gallery)
No sound
can you add root permission?
JuFlashed, runs succesfully with a MTD. Runs great with no proper ARMv6 intergration and such. Software GL possibly needs work as gallery doesnt load images (guessing thats related). Camera force closes to me, googles worked on hiding the developer side to android with much nicer messages "Camera has sadly closed unexpecetly" compared to "Camera has force closed". Will be waiting for a update to your rom or arcos. You forgot to include market too. Havent attempted to flash gapps yet!
Basically, Its great. Just needs a few fixes for Wi-Fi and Data. Then I'll be using this as a daily driver. You dont need to resize anything. Just possibly some font smoothing here and there.
Off-Topic: If you're buying a xperia play on three. Check out some of their data and text offers! (15 Pounds a month. 3000 Texts. 300 Minuites. Unlimited Internet.) Its what I use with my Wildfire and does exactly what it does on the tin! Plus I get decent speeds for the bad 3G coverage

Next thing to do is include superuser and NoFrills CPU Control.
Also, I think data might be related to a wierd build.prop, because the phone refuses to come out of aeroplane mode.

And when you try to search some network to connect, it say no CDMA antenna

Agreed with the others, runs pretty smooth, just I noticed the keyboard is too big and is cut off so you can't really type properly, and there's a weird orange border that pops up every now and again when I do certain setting tasks...I noticed this using the ARMv7 build on the emulator so I don't think that's device specific. Plus loading the gallery, at first the images show but if you open one it goes black or a coloured square...pinch to zoom works though!
The home key doesn't work as it should but it does do something: when you press it it acts as if you've moved the trackball and highlights the first on-screen object.
Also due to the radio issue it shows CDMA mobile settings despite the fact I've got a GSM version...and setting a different timezone (GMT+2) doesnt work.
Otherwise great stuff!
Lookig forward to updates!
Bugs:
No wifi bt and gps.
Home button dont work.
No signal for calling.
No volume (for music)
Camera force close.
No fm radio. (But that is personol if you add it it will be used everday )
But it runs very good

I've noticed this on some dev builds of android as well as Android-x86. It could be related to the touchscreen driver, or a general graphic bug. I think it could be disabled somehow though.

I had issues with NFC & Wi-fi Direct both of them are working well now and the battery and overall performance just got better
Sent from my HTC Butterfly s using xda app-developers app
yeah I really think that it does provide an improved battery efficiency but I don't know about the performance aspect .
Does wp_mod (/system write protection mod) work on stock 4.3?
Has anyone tried it yet?
From what I've noticed, yes, it does improve performance and battery life significantly. Other bonus features I appreciate are support for lockscreen widgets and ability to customize quick settings.
I did experience a couple of unpleasant things after the update, though.
I use the last.fm app and the stock music player. After the upgrade, each time I switched to a home screen containing a music player widget, I got a message about the last.fm app crashing. This appears to have been solved by a reboot, it does not happen right now.
After 20 days of uptime, something appears to have started on the phone which both made the lockscreen extremely laggy and it also drained power like mad. Even charging from a USB port took about twice as long as it usually does. Again, a reboot seems to have fixed this, but I'm curious how it will perform after a month of uptime – I'll report back here unless I forget.

I get those errors too man. I too used last.fm for scrobbling, but it always crashes (force closes) the moment a song starts, which is kinda sad And yeah I experience the second problem too not frequently though. Also sometimes after my phone is charged to 100% it drains immediately to 92-93% the moment I plug it out. Have to keep it 20 minutes or a little bit more to prevent this happening

I found out that the last.fm app doesn't have access to the com.htc.music/MediaPlaybackService intent – looks like the update restricted access to that interface or something. Maybe reinstalling the last.fm app would help, maybe last.fm needs to update it.
Also, looks like the issue affects other HTC phones with 4.3/5.5: http://www.last.fm/group/Last.fm+Android/forum/114391/_/2218309
By the way, I only use the last.fm app to see peoples' details in my contacts. For scrobbling, I've been using the simple last.fm scrobbler app since about forever, because I find it much more reliable at scrobbling than the official last.fm app. Also, it supports more players.

And yeah I experience the second problem too not frequently though. Also sometimes after my phone is charged to 100% it drains immediately to 92-93% the moment I plug it out. Have to keep it 20 minutes or a little bit more to prevent this happening

Yeah, the battery indicator seems to jump to 100% immediately after reaching 90%. Leaving it plugged in for a bit longer seems to work for me too. AFAIK, this is a common issue with a lot of Android kernels across various devices…

Yeah I know I've seen some HTC users complain on Google Play too (comments section) guess the problem's with HTC Sense? My cousin's Nexus 4 never had problems like these with last.fm :/

The update has been excellent so far. After some time searching through the settings, I found out that there is a move apps to sd function. That's a welcome addition.

Well, stock Android has the com.android.music app for music playback; HTC Sense has its own player, com.htc.music. AFAIK, they come with compatible interfaces, the last.fm app just doesn't get access to the Sense player while it does get access to the stock one.

Where is this setting?
update nvm i found it
Also how is USB connection? Mine is such a mess after the update partly cuz I'm using Windows XP =/
For the most part only thing i dislike about 4.3 w sense 5.5 is the keyboard auto correct, if u type something in English letters but phonetically for anotger language or even say if you type something wrong and you hit space it will replace it with what it thinks you meant, if you hit backspace nothing happens where as before with all previous htc keyboards if you type something wrong and auto correct fixes it n you hit backspace it reverts back to what you originally typed and hitting space from there will save it to your dictionary and i loved that but now its gone. I tried putting back the keyboard apk from 4.2.2 and setting permission but no luck.

Hmm, actually, the behavior you described didn't work for me even on 4.2.2, i.e. even before the update, hitting backspace after an autocorrect didn't undo its effects for me. I do remember though, that I really liked this feature on 2.x versions of Android with the then-current versions of Sense and I'm missing it as well…
By the way, speaking of the keyboard, does anyone else experience an issue where certain words that are obviously retained as part of my personal dictionary (like certain Slovak words without accents) that don't show up in the list of words when I choose to edit the dictionary? Case in point: some time ago I used to write SMS messages in Slovak without diacritics and a lot of words got into my dict that way. I've switched to diacritics-enabled messages since, because why not and because a lot of words with diacritics are already part of the built-in dictionary. However, I can't completely remove all the words without accents from my personal dictionary because they just don't appear in the list.

There is an annoyance that whenever I take a portrait picture, the gallery ends up showing it landscape.

As you can see half of the screen shows that it's black. I think the keyboard has something to do with it. Also, the keyboard feels more unresponsive now.

You have some real problems there. If you haven't unlocked, and this is the official update, then you should claim a new phone.

In fact it was in airplane mode almost the entire time!

Didn't screenshot it, but could remember Android System and OS Kernel were top two, followed by Google Services or Google Play Services. The rest were completely normal

Android system and android OS
Your phone's wifi bluetooth NFC must always be on. Since the os is managing so much hardware, it attributes the battery used for this in system and os.
Google play services
This always drains battery by keeping mobile radio on. Google has not yet fixed this. Only connecting to wifi seems to solve this.
These issues have plagued many users running 5.0 on their phones.

Bluetooth is never on, NFC is, so I should turn it off?
The battery drain even more heavily on the school WiFi than on mobile radio, which I suspect could be related to blocking Facebook and YouTube and the apps constantly trying to connect because on home WiFi the battery's absolutely fantastic..
Should I expect 5.1 to fix the issue? Because it sucks that I got 5.0 out of the box, if I'd known that 5.0 had so many issues and had the choice, probably wouldn't have upgraded.

There you go.. turn off NFC if u dont use it. And remove the facebook app as it is the heaviest battery consuming app. Also youtube won't cause any such problems. Try to turn off all the hardware you dont use like turning to 3G/2G when connected to wifi instead of 4G.
Also you may consider managing the backup features manually like settings backup and reset, Google photos auto backup.
Yes KitKat was much better at all this. But lollipop aint that bad if you dont mind managing some settings manually. I dont know if 5.1 will fix all this as i dont have it yet. Just hope it would.

I used to get such heavy battery drain on my phones until i removed the fb app. Not all devices were connected to internet all the time. Since i removed it, the standby times have been great! You will miss notifications though by switching to FB in browser. You may try other fb apps like tinfoil and friendcaster if you trust those.
Hope this helps.

I've removed it and battery has definitely improved, still have 81% at noon. Replaced it with installing an apk for FB Lite, which seems to be a lot less intensive on resources.

That's great! FB lite is good to get notifications n stuff. I just wait until we get the notifications in chrome browser working. Then all such fb apps will be useless. Hope now you get better battery life. Try Gsam battery monitor pro version so u can keep a close watch!

hi,
there is a similar thread or 2 about this issue "here somewhere"
(I have posted a reply in one thread)
I also have this issue now or again. (very seldom) mostly with Play store.. back button.
I suspect it could be some software " bug"
Reason ... .( I had this similar
issue with my Note 8.0... same time/peroid when it happens on my Note5.)
So my opinion is its either Play store.. /software.. Rom related.. ? and not hardware etc.
Good luck

i'm waiting samsung update or someone give us solution
Guys any news about this issue ???
Me too' I have the same issue with my n920c. It's random. Please someone tell us if they have a solution for this problem because it seems that there is no solution in samsung side for now.
I have the SM-N920V. I have noticed the same problem, but it only happens when I have rebooted within the previous 5 minutes. Therefore I feel as though it is a software issue because some sort of component had not yet finished loading from the boot. Is this the case you folks have found?

My wife has this issue on her LG V10. Turned out the Facebook messenger app was the cause. Not sure how or why, but since I have uninstalled it the issue has stopped. This has been the case for a few others in the V10. Thought I would share this as it may or may not work for you.

Can you have her reinstall it to see if the problem comes back? That would prove the issue and help others...

I have reinstalled the messenger app and it returns. Please don't think this is the only fix. I do believe this is a software issue on multiple platforms, just think messenger apk does something to trigger this bug. Again, if it works for you I'm glad it helped, if it did not, I.m sorry and do hope there is a solution soon as this is an annoying problem.
