Hi All
Any Ideas why my X10 mini takes so long to open apps?
There are no saved sms's and the call log has been cleared.
I've tried two task killers, the do free up RAM for a bit but even then it's still slow.
I've checked and minimised the background tasks I can find.
By slow I mean 3 to 4 secs to open an app, Jorte is an example. The stock apps are affected too.
I'm running CM9.0 and V6 SuperCharger set to multi task
Thanks

So I have had a few roms on my droid 2. liberty 1.5 and the latest fission rom. I notice that after a few weeks of use, the phone starts lagging. I clear cache as much as I can and I always delete tasks that are running that are not being used anymore. Any ideas on what the problem may be? I have clockwork installed and I clear cache from there. Also from titanium backup. Any suggestions?
I am currently running Fission 2.5.7 overclocked to 1.2ghz.
Thank you!
I would recommend downloading the latest fission rom manager application from teamdefuse's website and then installing it on your phone, from there you can download a newer version of fission (fission 2.6.1) and that should speed up your phone. Also task managers can often slow your phone down. I try and make it a priority to not have a lot of un-needed apps installed and just occasionally look through my app drawer and clean it up. Also if you open up the app "spare-parts" (which should be installed by default on fission) you can look at which apps are using up the most memory and battery life.
If you download the app quadrant standards you can run a quick test and it will show a bunch of information about your system and how fast your phone is compared to other phones and other roms.
Other little things that help are using a faster web browser like opera mini, dolphin browser, or dolphin browser mini.
Another thing that helps is removing widgets from your homescreen, I only use one widget on my whole launcher, ClockrEvolution (I'm really minimalist lol).
Overclocking can also use up your battery life and on the DROID 2 overclocking won't really help that much because you can't go that high, if you could go to 1.5 stably that would be a different story

ljbaumer is correct about the task managers.
Android has a built in automatic task killer that works far better than any one you can get on the market. It will kill apps only when more memory is needed. Android was made to put as many apps in its memory as possible to make your apps load faster. When you kill all your tasks, Android will instantly start loading them back in the memory, which actually slows your phone down and eats up battery life because your making it work harder.
The only reason I keep a task manager on my phone is to kill any app that may freeze or start acting funny. I never kill all tasks on my phone.
Thank you all for your replies. Took them both into consideration and now I have less lag and jitter!
Thanks!
nice! just click the thanks button at the bottom of our posts
Yes or no?? Ive had my tab for almost two weeks now and when i have a couple apps open it gets bogged down and reboots. Im pretty sure its because its run out of memory. Thoughts??

I do not think that your problem is the system running out of memory. Android will automatically kill unused apps and free up memory when needed. I use the memory widget of GoLauncher EX and notice that as soon as the available ram goes below 100 mb or so, if I open a new app, the widget will actually show an increased memory.
I believe the problem is in the apps themselves, rather than in their memory request.

Definitely a big help. I keep a one click widget on my home screen and tap it whenever I'm near it. has quite the visible effect when homescreen scrolling goes from somewhat laggy to perfectly smooth by hitting the button
Never use an automatic task killer on newer versions of Android.
There is no reason to use a task killer for memory management at this point, the only reasons to use it:
1) Killing apps that are using lots of background CPU (not memory) - this is rare
2) Killing apps that are holding long wakelocks - common with badly written apps. Ideally you avoid these, but some (like Facebook) are ones you just have to deal with sometimes.
3) Killing apps that use too much background data, which can also negatively affect battery life (Skype...)

I agree with entropy, and if you do end up using one, don't be obsessive about killing apps constantly. Killing apps you frequently use can negatively effect your battery life.

There is a task manager in your mini app tray.
Hello, I read this forum daily but not participate very often.
Two days ago I uninstalled facebook because with the latest update its camera process would always stay open in the background, no matter what I did.
Since then my Galaxy R transformed, it is like I got a new phone, there is no UI lag, all aplications' effects work perfectly and fast, apps open instantly etc.
I was really surprised by the difference so I thought to share it with you.
That's Facebook for you , stays in the background so you can receive notifications from them .
You can also try force app close with Settings > Development > Stop app via long-press . Tick that and you can now close any app just by holding the Back button .

No I don't care if you're anti-Apple.
I had completely turned off notifications and synchronization for the facebook app. Most task managers showed it as closed, yet I could see from time to time that it used system resources through BetterBatteryStats.
The thing is that it didn't just use memory, it made any non OpenGL animation on my phone slow.
Opening the drawer of GoLauncher? Slow as hell. Opening the weather of beautiful widgets? Slow as hell. Browsing photos through QuickPic gallery? Slow as hell compared to the stock gallery.
In the stock camera app, whenever I pressed a setting, the transparent menu with the available options would take 3 or more seconds to appear.
Since I uninstalled the Facebook app all these lags are completely gone.
I haven't seen a difference in battery though. It is just like facebook was keeping a hardware resource for itself, not letting other apps use it.
PS. The setting about closing apps with long press isn't available on the stock ROM. I think only CM has it.
Hi,
I suffer from this problem since I've been rooting my Nexus S. I currently use Codename ROM (ICS 4.0.4) but I noticed this on every ROM I tested... and Apex Launcher.
I do the factory reset, flash the ROM, stuff, kernel (Matrix 20 CFS) and restore my apps backup. The phone works great, fast and smooth for two days with cca 150MB free RAM and then asůdlfkjaslůdfjasůdlfj!!!!! EVERY TIME it gets laggy with little freezing moments and black screens after 1,5 or 2 days - Free RAM 50-60MB. In this period I do not install any new apps! It is not horrible but it is really frustrating when I know that other people after 4.0.4 update feel really smooth and apps are loading almost instantly. This is laggyish, freezing animations in some apps (any.do, go sms), I am waitign for "multitasking screen", waiting also for contact popup (sometimes even 5 - 15 sec!!). I know that some people have over 100MB RAM all the time and even though Nexus has only 512MB RAM their phones work fine.
I am desperate. Where and why the fu*k has the 100MB of RAM gone?
Currently I have in my kernel settings Deep Idle off, 100-1000MHz and governor "ondemand". I am also using haptic feedback. In past I tried using ROM Toolbox and Auto memory manager to get it better, in fact it wasnt better for me.

If you have some advice/tip/experience, pleeeaaase, post it here. HELP!
I have recently updated my GT-p6200 to ICS(Hate it) and found lots of bugs.
1. Message Icon in the home screen is showing 1 unread message without any unread one (The Menu Message icon is Normal) , when i restart all backs to normal.Please hit a solution for me.
2. I had Chrome like New tab feature with fav sites widgets in my old gingerbread browser and this ICS browser is normal, Any thing can be done for this?
3. It hangs a lot when many apps are opened simultaneously even when Ram is free.
4. Everytime I come back to Homescreen after closing any app it take time to come to normal ,it seems like it refreshes everytime.Please give some solution at-least for the first question as it is the most irritating one.
5.Do someone have detail explanation for developer option s in settings.
Please reply with solutions.
Thanks
1. You might have killed the process using some task manager. Not sure. If you're gonna use Nova at number 4, try Tesla Unread Plugin.
2. Download Chrome Browser
3. You may have an app or some apps that causes lag. In my experience, playing some huge games while doing other stuffs(e.g. Browser, Slices, and etc.) did not lag at all. Investigate as to which app is causing the intensive usage of your CPU.
4. Change the stock Launcher to either Apex or Nova. There are others too like Go Launcher HD for Pad and etc. I personally recommend Apex or Nova. Make sure to make it as default and keep in memory for less withdraws. Also you might be using the built-in task manager to kill all apps at once, this apparently also kills the stock launcher if you are not on the homescreen or app drawer. Same goes even for other launchers. Avoid using that without being on the homescreen.
5. Google that.
Hi
Could someone also check if the front camera is downgraded to 0.3 megapixel?
Mine says 640x480 after official ics update, philippines
Tnx
