[Q] Slow Nexus S? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone!
I was hoping I could get some small guidance. I have my normal Nexus S running at 1050 MGHz all the time, and I have set all the boot tweaks to on in my ROM settings along with the SD Card read ahead value. I am on the Gummy 0.9 ROM with as few apps as I really want to have.
I cleared all apps cache, I zipalign them on boot (The ROM does) etc. and I have only a few apps on it. I use only picture wallpapers, i use stock messaging app and browser, and still my phone runs for about 45% of the time fine... but the rest of the time it is either extremely slow or unresponsive.
Any ideas? I don't have any applied themes or mods and the laucher I am using (iLauncher Pro) is (According to the settings) using about >30mb

How much free RAM do you have? Generally as it gets under the 100mb threshold things can really take a turn for the worse. You may have too many services (whether it be from apps or otherwise) trying to take it all for themselves.

Generally I have 60-105mb free RAM. The 105 is if all apps are closed, and 60-70mb is with my apps running and normal usage.
Thoughts?

try this kernel, its trinity teuv-mh-newspice http://goo.gl/F0Xm2
its underclocked and undervolted with a lot of available ram. dont pay any attention to the 880mhz top cpu speed, because its much faster than it seems and great on battery. oh, and the gpu is overclocked 10%

After few hours of use, my Nexus S gets too slow and laggy.. I think its coz of RAM as if I kill some apps, then it all gets better..
I am using AIR kernel + CNA 1.5.5..
Any ideas about this.??

did you restore backed up data from these apps, data that was used on a different rom? that could do it too. have you tried running a fix_permissions?

try removing any apps you don't need/use
I'd also recommend getting S-OFF/ROOT and installing a custom ROM.
There is a guide on how to do all of this in the Development section
Wasnt so intetested in rooting.
I have reset phone, and still the same? Its only been like it since last update, i guess i will have to suffer it for now?
Get an overclocking app and set it properly,if you dont have one itll run at the stock speed for that kernel

I disagree, do you want to give her some P.O.S. that hardly functions or a piece of gold that will eat the soul of most any phone that comes near it?
Here was my experience on stock:
First problem was vibrate not functioning correctly, second was touch screen being stupidly non-responsive, to the point I couldn't zoom in the browser, third, it was as ugly as some irradiated inbred cannibal.
Give her CM7, with a 1.1GHz battery life kernel and find a suitable theme for it.
appreciate your responses!
Will go ROM based on your answers.
Now it's just matter of finding one that most of all is stable....

I have used that one for a while. Many bugs in my experience. Then pure ported one, still behaved odd.
I think some forum members said that Eaglesblood is rock-solid.
I've been off it since the ICS Alpha, but the Euroskank Nightlies worked great for me. I'd load one, get it set up and play with it and make sure it's running good. I've noticed people making comments about stuff being broken in the newer CM releases, and since the Euroskank's are kangs those features may also be broken.

Yeah, use Eaglesblood 2.3.7 cm based, and use morfic's ELP kernel and use the CM performance settings to set it to 750 mhz and set at boot. Will give amazing stability and speed, plus battery life for days if she's a light user. If she's a heavy user (games, etc...) set it to 1100 mhz.

Whatever you may use, either of the ROMs have their own qualities and defects. But one thing I have noticed: when using Rom Mannager app the battery gets emptied quicker. The difference might be of 2-3hours/day.

I have heard this to be true with Titanium Backup as well; restoring apps makes it drain faster. Who knows if it's really true or not?! but some say that they feel this is the case...
I do it all manually. Takes more time, but I just got to know it's all correct. OCD!
If you use an app like Set CPU you will notice that it automatically adjusts the clock frequency depending on what you're doing. So, if you doing an operation like a huge restore, yea it's going to use some battery.
I tried several ROMs, attempting to get past the lockups, reboots, etc. EaglesBlood's was the most stable that I tried; Weapon's worked well at the start but started into the reboot cycle after about a week. With the EB ROM I rarely had problems.
if u want a flawless stable rom flash hellfire phoenix 1.9

[TWEAK] Lightning Zap! Blaze Basic v1

Hello all!
As promised, here is the first release of Lightning Zap tweaks for the Blaze 4G from Team Fah-Q (formerly known as Team Kick Ass)!
DISCLAIMER:
I am NOT responsible for anything YOU do that causes damage to your device. Follow the instructions to TEE and there won't be any problems.
This version is ONLY for Gingerbread ROMs and a GB kernel that supports init.d scripts. How do you know if your kernel supports init.d scripts? There are a number of ways to check, but the best way is to ask the developer of that kernel. You can also check in the ROMofCHOICE.zip by navigating to /system/etc/init.d. If the original .zip of your ROM has an init.d folder with scripts in it, then you are good to go.
What is Lightning Zap?
Lightning Zap is a set of tweaks that I have written and compiled to make the Blaze 4G Lightning fast, super smooth, and contain excellent battery life!
What's included in Lightning Zap Blaze Basic:
Battery tweaks for awesome battery life
Governor tweaks for amazing speed and performance without sacrificing battery life
Kernel tweaks
Memory and Ram tweaks
Cleaner tweaks
Build.prop tweaks
Internet speed tweaks
and MORE!
Install instructions:
Make a full nandroid backup and then backup your data with titanium or something alike
***Download link is at the bottom of this post***
Download Lightning Zap! Blaze Basic v1.zip to pc (Can be downloaded to sdcard also)
Place Lightning Zap! Blaze Basic v1.zip on sdcard
Flash
Allow phone to set for 10 minutes after reboot
Enjoy

well, take it for what you will, but I am on dknight7 at 9 hours uptime with minimal usage and the battery is at 98%.

So with that said, flash at your own risk, but I am pretty sure my tweaks are unmatched...lol (no offense Eril... you are still my superstar...lol)

Do not think this works on STOCK - rooted/w cwm (looking at you update script and the actual files in the zip).
There isnt suporrt for init.d style startup scripts in stock-rooted anywhere that I could find, So your sysctl.conf will work but all of the init.d scripts will be ignored.
I'm assuming dknight7 has this support? If it doesnt then its not doing anything but the sysctl.conf tweaks on that either.
Also some of your sysctl settings have been shown to slow the phone down over several days and increase the number of reboots needed.
One specifically I saw in 03systweak:
echo 50 > /proc/sys/vm/vfs_cache_pressure;
This does speed up things a great deal on the short term. However it gives you a max of 2-3 days before you have to reboot your phone as it slowly begins to lag it down. A setting of 1 is less than a day, a setting of 100(default) gives you weeks without need of reboot. So people need to be notified that these tweaks are not stable, and in order to keep the improvements these tweaks provide, and you will find yourself rebooting more often.
It has also been shown that most of these tweaks do in fact use more battery. There is no magic performance improment without the use of more power on android in many cases. There are some phones where the initial config is not optimal and these tweaks would show a great improvment. The blaze 4g phones on the other hand, are so fast even at stock, and get such great battery life, I dont see why such a thing would even be applicable for them.

[Q] stable ROM with good battery life?

So my wife has an LG G2X on stock android 2.3.4 and she complains that after a while it will move so slowly that it is almost unusable. I have told her to restart the phone whenever that happens and she is having to do that about once a week, but that clears up the problem for a while. Aside from that, everything works as it should. It is using the march 2012 baseband.
Since it is not my phone, I do not know exactly what all she is doing on her phone, but I assume it is mostly facebook, watching videos, texting, and calls. I'm looking for a stable ROM where everything works like stock and has at least the same (if not better) battery life as stock.
And yes, I have searched but a lot of the info seems outdated. I am thinking that I might just run a rooted stock ROM with a custom kernel (leaning towards faux's here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102720 )... or maybe the stable cm-7.2.0-p999
summary: wife's G2X becomes VERY laggy after ~1 week use, suggest a fix
thanks :good:
Having to restart once a week is not problem, if anything that's a good thing lol. I had to restart my stock unrooted g2x multiple times a week.......if you move to a custom rom your wife will probably have to restart about the same if not more. I'm on cm7 and i restart about once a day just because i like to, not out of necessity. If your wife isn't huge into customization than a stock rooted rom will work just fine. Faux makes a great kernel but it was a little harsher on battery for my liking. I'm running Trinity oc right now and love it. If i were you, i would look at mazouts latest kernel build. He makes AWESOME kernels and ill be moving over to his latest release whenever it comes out tonight or tomorrow.

i had her on a cm7 build with her previous phone (motorola defy) and she seemed to like it OK. didn't customize it too much, just used all the default settings.
after i posted this thread, i actually started to look at, and downloaded mazout's kernel... so now i'm thinking of trying out the 3/1 "nightly" build of cm7 with mazout's 0323 kernel. i can't seem to find a known bugs list for cm7 on this phone. are there any known bugs?
does this build of cm7 have a "restart" option in the power menu? that is one of my pet peeves with the stock ROM. the only way i have found to restart the phone is to "power off" and then "power on". i think she would be more willing to restart the phone if it was an automated restart
Yes there is aa "reboot" option that comes up from holding the power button. Maz's 0323oc kernel is awesome. I wouldn't put the Max over 1015 and keep the minimum at 216. Known bugs.....for me the only bug i had was the phone would heat up pretty bad overnight while charging. It was instantly fixed by going into my development settings under applications and selecting the "keep awake" option while charging.

If you want to stay with stock just root it and install an app to give yourself access to either full reboot or a quick warm reboot from the home screen.

threw "fast reboot" on there to see how she likes it since it doesn't require root, works more like an app killer, but kills all in one press.
now, would i see any noticeable gains by using a custom kernel (stock voltage, no overclock)?

Yes, not an extreme amount but a definite yes. I know by experience with CM7 that mazout's stock voltage beta kernel was much better than the stock CM7 kernel. Those kernels are only for CM7 though. I do not have any experience with an upgraded kernel on my g2x while it was stock as I flashed CM7 and mazouts kernel right after.

Whaaaat? Hellfire is tweaked out isn't it? Looks like a badass looking rom, just too comfortable with vanilla cm7

^ those stats are kind of irrelevant considering he's asking for a decent play out on battery while using performance. [All around use.] You just showed us what a phone with no data signals and almost no use other then the odd screen wake [possibly texts/calls] the op explained he needed a ROM that takes minimal battery with most use, and being a girl I would imagine she's using social networking which requires WiFi or 3G/4G Please don't take what I'm saying as offensive, your information is very handy however it steers the op in the wrong direction as I'm sure his wife likes to use her phone as much as possible without being stuck to a charger. My girlfriend is currently using my old g2x and so far we've had the best luck with cm7 stable and the trinity kernel with slight under volt. What I would suggest the op do is maybe take a little research nightly on her battery drain, find out what she's using the most and go from there. Unfortunately because its not HIS phone, he's not going to witness distinction first hand and won't be able come to a easy conclusion, and it doesn't help that the g2x devs are stuck on GB, too many ports to keep interest and the search could take forever.
LETS KEEP PRAYING TMOBILE HASNT FORGOT US!
PS spawne32, when you did have your phone like the picture did that include battery apps or task killers? Or just straight up OS? Whenever I tried the ROM you suggested [it has been a while, maybe since updated.] I get screen wake issues and all kinds of battery drain.

To the op, also recommend to your wife the app called "screen filter" it has an option to lower the key brightness, there are a few of those apps out there but I only remember using that, one of the g2x sad but true battery drainers.

Similar issue - frequent reboots - please suggest ROMs, kernels, other solutions!
I have an LG Optimus G2X (P-999) running the original, unrooted, stock OS (android 2.3.4 "gingerbread", with the "old" bootloader and the baseband from March 2012).
Similar to the OP's wife's phone, mine is running slower and slower, frequently locks up, sometimes so badly that I need to remove the battery to restart it, and sometimes it just restarts itself. I've already tried uninstalling unused apps, clearing caches, moving apps to the SD card, etc. None of that seemed to noticeably help, and lately I need to restart it at least once every 24 hours.
(There are other annoyances too, like the way the GPS hangs and drops, and the battery life isn't great - although the battery may just be too old.)
I'm planning to root it and uninstall the bloatware as a first step, using the instructions I found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1050534
Then, I'm considering installing a custom ROM and/or kernel. (Most up-to-date list, I believe, is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975934 )
Given the problems I'm having, do you think one or both will help? (If yes, do you have any specific recommendations for a ROM and/or kernel, or tips, or possible pitfalls I should avoid?) Are there other ideas I should consider?
Thanks in advance!

10/1/13 Core killer app test v1.1beta??

Update to version 1.1beta
Ok so maybe I should have posted this in development at this point but...idk
So I built another app and would like ppl to test it out. This app will kill core 2 to increase battery life. It also kills when the screen is off.
Just push the off button and the the core will be turned off and will remain off till you turn it on through the app or reboot.
Please let me know your thoughts!
This is going to be free on the market when its done.
Please let me know your battery life and what not if you can.
Thanks guys!
Version 1.1beta

haven't done anything long term to test battery life but it seems not to keep core2 off 100% of the time (is it supposed to?). even when i directly wake from the lock screen into the app itself i can see core status switching off & on.
im also getting a lot of SU toast notifications outside of the app itself. when i run linpak the multi thread yields results typical of both cores running.
running Liquid smooth and a custom BMS kernel.
thanks but uninstalled for now

This would go in Themes and Apps when complete, not development.
