Skyrocket lags

i have a new skyrocket , well under my 30 days they replaced it because of screen then over heating issue , this one lags , i noticed the lag mainly in the text massege app, anyone have the same issue or did i get a 3rd bad phone ? my last one lagged as well , just wanna make sure if they got a batch of bad phones?

Try flashing a custom ROM. Ive never had any lag problems.

im using stock . so in your opinion i got a bad headset ?

When I was on stock, my skyrocket was AMAZINGLY fast. I think its just you, ask for another to see how that one is.

what LAG are you speaking of.....scrolling?, Loading?, be more specific so others can say if they had/have that problem.
personally i have not seen ANY lag on this phone until i installed Go Launcher<<<
which will will cause some lag.

What I mean is a freezing when I go to my text masseges. It will lock for a second. I only have 3 apps. Nothing in the background running

may just be a glitch sort of thing......unless your last one was having the EXACT same lag with the messeging. i would say load up a ROM or even reflash the stock rom that you have and it may go away.

Thats No lag. It's take a sec or two to open. The cpu needs time to react.

2 seconds to open an app IS LAG......lol
weather its an app drawer or messaging, mine opens in just under a sec everytime..........
but im on a custom ROM and using ADW Ex.

It's not even 2 seconds. It's like it's hanging up
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA App

Does it lag during calls and hang up?

That's so weird... as soon as I press messages, it snaps into action and is open before I can even react.
There's something obviously wrong with that one. Try rooting it and running a custom ROM, if that doesn't help, then exchange it.

No lag here.. rooted and stock rom and overclocked... Insane speed..

Well it doesn't do it all the time now. But my.original one did it too. It's way less than a second. It must of been all in my head because everything else works very fast so I think I'll wait till I see my update to the 2.3.6 & go from there.

Problem Fixed . called texh support explained whats wrong & they were very nice even though i was over my 30 days by 3 days , they called a store went off on them because they denied me the exchange & told them to do whatever i want done because they have to make me happy . LOL so i went & said I've had it with the black one & got the white one & couldnt be happier , thank you all for all the help

i think there isn't lag but it's slower coming from an i9100.
scrolling isn't as smooth, and the messaging app is a little funky at times too.
but idk the difference is negligible they're both awesome phones

Flash Sky Ice Cream Sandwich Rom is Amazing!

Skyrocket screen staying completely black?

Completely stock skyrocket, for whatever reason a couple times a week my screen will go completely black and won't be able to unlock. The only way to get it working again is too remove the battery. In this state I still hear txt tones and such, but no buttons will brig the screen back.

What have you done to your phone so far? Root? Install ROM? Kernel? OC? UV?
All of these things will be useful to know when trying to solve it.

That honestly sounds like a sleep death, which definitely should NOT happen on a stock rom... If you can I would definitely take that phone back to ATT or wherever you got it to get it replaced.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

Could a app cause this? Think it started after I downloaded ICS keyboard. The screen sometimes goes black when I unlock it, but its not a deep dark black like the sleep mode, when this happens if I hit the back button, it fixes it. So I switched which ics keyboard o use now, so hope it stops both issues

i had 2 stock sgh-i727r completely unmodified do this. i did factory resets and issues re-occurred. could have been app related but i was having it with no apps after.
didnt bother troubleshooting more than a hour, took it to rogers as both phones had problems < 15 days of getting the phone
first one lasted just 12 hours, rogers store did a DOA replacement and got it right away.
2 weeks later, my replacement sgh-i727r had the same problem. called rogers, got my replacement in 3 days.
so far so good.
rogers chalked it up to hardware issue after asking if i had rooted the phone each time.

This happened to me for the first time ever, yesterday.
I received a text. Phone made a notification sound, but then the screen would not come on. I could hear keys and notification sounds, but no visuals.
I took the battery out and now all is ok again.
I am on a stock 2.3.5 Rogers ROM.

if this problem persists, follow these steps.
Backup apps with titanium backup, but only the ones with information u really need
export contacts to sd
download darkside to sd
boot into cwm and flash darkside
reboot the phone BUT RIGHT BACK INTO ODIN.
Flash the stock rom or one of the pre-rootex ones
Problem solved :-D

This EXACT thing happened to my skyrocket and my friends on our bone stock phones.. We have both since flashed quick wiz rom onto our phone and has not happened a single time... The problem? ATT Sucks... just flash your phone

This started happening to me today and it has happened more than 4 times now :/ I get the notification... BLN comes on but I can't turn on the screen. If I click the power button or volume buttons, the backlights go off for a few seconds and then come back on. This is getting really annoying
Edit: Rebooted the phone just now and it happened AGAIN on the first text I received... wtff is this

[Q] Frequent force closes...lost cause? Help Please!

My girlfriend got her Galaxy S 4G around January and everything was going really great for her. The problems seemed to arise when I updated her phone from Froyo to Gingerbread through Kies. Since then, she constantly sees random force closes, typically while using Navigation, Browser, Contacts, SMS, etc. There is no popup saying "Bla bla has randomly closed...." etc, it just shuts back down to the main screen. Sometimes this will repeat numerous times (trying repeatedly to go to the contacts). I rooted her phone and flashed ICBINB, wiped cache, dalvik, permissions, etc. etc. but the problems have not changed in the least. Has anyone seen or experienced anything like this? It seems like no matter what I do, the phone is just doomed. Only thing I haven't tried (and am seriously considering) is reflashing back to stock Froyo; I don't think she'll mind, as long as she can use her phone peacefully. Thank you for any and all help.

For the voodoo sound bit go to settings, then applications, manage applications, find the voodoo app and click it clear data and then uninstall the voodoo sound app. Reboot the phone and reinstall from the play store.

You have to go in settings under tweaks and set the custom app to messenger. It will stop soft booting then.

Just an update: new from is great and she loves it. Still experiencing force closes, however. Seems the biggest culprit is opening the phone app and clicking on either the contacts or call log tabs. Those love to shut down (with no message) all the time.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA

It's actually not force closing...i had that problem before and it would happen randomly. It got to the point where i was trying to quickly select a contact or start a message before it would return to the home screen. I never found out what was causing it though. Try a new kernel. I think it happened less or went away. I haven't had the problem in awhile and i think that was the only difference. I'm on erikmm's miui now and haven't had that problem.
Sent from my toaster.

Or try something like GoContacts EX from the market. It is a dialer and contacts. Theme it. Customize it. I find it a lot better than stock.

Maybe reboot to recovery and fix permissions. Only use a third party app once you get the stock working. That's like putting a bandaide on a cut that needs sutures.

If you don't use stock stock dialer or contacts - it is not a bandaide. It's a replacement.

He stated the forces closes is when opening dialer and contacts. He has been pretty good at giving info on what he is using. So it's safe to assume it's the stock dialer/contacts app.
I don't disagree that using a third party app can/is nice. But if there is a problem with the stock it needs fixed first. Eventually it will create bigger issues if not fixed. Plus the Rom he is on there shouldn't be any problems.

I appreciate all of your help and suggestions regarding the matter so far. As it stands I haven't had a spare second to flash a new kernel on her phone, but she hasn't seemed to have any problems (knock on wood) since that day; I'm sure it's only a matter of time before it comes back to haunt her, though. I'll try fixing permission for the heck of it, but I did that when she was running ICBINB to no avail.
I'll post an update as soon as I flash a different kernel, but despite all the drama she loves it more than ever!

Has anyone figured out what causes the keyboard to stop working in messaging?
I can hit the first letter, and the keyboard will bring up predictions for what I press, but it won't enter any text into the field.
To fix it, I have to back out of the conversation and return to it to be able to type again.
It does it with all keyboards, too.
I can't exactly figure out what causes it to stop working. Before I thought it was locking the phone in the middle of typing, because it would sometimes be unresponsive after unlocking, but I've also had it be fine after unlocking, and I've also had it stop responding in the middle of me typing.
That's the only issue I've had with AKOP, apart from the wifi toggling thing, but that's a well-known bug.

Sucks to hear, i'll hold off for now

I have been getting a little less battery life with ics...but nothing shocking. I get anywhere from 10 to 16 hours...but that is the same I have been getting with gb...even froyo. I do a lot of reading and listening to the radio...and I always have a charger near by for those occasions when the battery gulps instead of sips.

OK, maybe a dumb question. Coming from GB Roms, I am use to "My Files". On this ROM where do I find something that works the same, or what is the format?

HTC Inspire running slow, freezing, and not responding well to touch

I have a HTC Inspire 4g, AT&T, 16gb microSD Sandisk card, no root, no roms.
It boots slow, but i've looked around and that seems to be normal.
Sometimes itll just freeze, anywhere from 3-15 seconds
Sometimes the screen and sound keep going, but the touch cuts off completely. half the time the buttons at the bottom work, the other half they dont, and i have to click the button at the top to turn the screen off and back on to fix it.
Sometimes when the screen is off, i click the top button, and the orange light goes on, and it clicks, but the screen stays black.
Sometimes it just freezes and i have to reset. Some of those times i have to take the battery out to reset it.
Sometimes it lags, hard, like the keyboard freezes, and i go ahead and finish typing, up to a whole sentence, and after 5-15 seconds all the text i type pops up on the screen, but i get no haptic feedback like i do when its not lagging.
Things load slow, the gps takes forever to connect, if at all, and it won't pick up wifi even when i'm well within range, and my mom's first gen ipod touch picks it up in the same spot at the same time with no problem.
Everything is up to date.
Anyone got any ideas? I thought about rooting it and putting a rom on, but idk if itll make a difference.
Its not covered under warranty anymore.
Pretty frustrating in general.

Best bet is to not root and have it checked via warranty. If you root you void warranty and if custom rom dont fix issue your stuck with it. Tho you can unroot with ace hack kit.

For best performance try cyanogenmod 7. Truely I can vouch for the Android Revolution HD Rom. It's a sense 3.0 Rom, and it has android 2.3.5 gingerbread(very smooth). I can say that right now, there are no fully working android 4.0 ICS or 4.1 Jellybean Roms(Release candidate).

Depends on if you wanna keep sense or not. Cyanogenmod 7 and Revolution HD are good choices. Best thing you can do is flash around and find what suites you. If your wanting to check out some of the latest android versions like ICS I'd say give exits aospx a try, and keep your eye on the latest jellybean ROM called Jelly Time in the Desire HD thread...its exploded practically over night and is looking to be a daily driver in no time the way the devs are working over there.

For future restores
For me, my contacts and calendar are saved via my gmail account. Upon restoring to factory settings, or installing a new custom rom, and setting my account up in the phone, all of this data is automatically restored. For apps and their settings, Titanium Backup has been the lifeline for me. It has saved a lot of time and effort. Check it out and see if you like it. There is a free and paid version (which I paid for the extra options and to support further updates) on the Market.
Custom ROMS are individually unique for user experience. No one can really tell you which one is best (well...we could but it would be our own personal bias based on our individual preferences). You need to keep trying them until you get one you like. As always mentioned, nandroid backups can be your best friend.
