I hope people don't just pass this off as another annoying ics question. But with the ram issues this phone has, can we use a swap partition like in Linux and the old CM5/6 days on the G1. Sorry if this was already asked, the search function on this app doesn't allow to search individual forums.

what ram issues do you have? I have 200 available most of the time, with about 10 apps running most of the time... I've read up on the using swap partition for the phone and it's not useful, in my opinion just unnecessary. Are you completely out running on zero ram available?
See what apps run in background. Google voice eats ram if you don't force close it often, Facebook will eat it if you enable background notifications.
Some keyboard apps also eat ram... check and take a picture for us.
no matter what rom i use it works great for a day or so then suddenly it just slows down. i do power cycle the phone at least once a day. and have tried the ram manager on the play store, and just killing things manually. the ram wouldnt hit zero at all, but it would get low for like 10-15 seconds at a time. my biggest concern is that i cant answer a phone call right away, it always lags for about 10-15 even up to 30 seconds before i slide the ring to answer. and when i look at the ram afterwords its below 100. i rolled back to GB about a week and a half ago because of this. (i bounce back and forth)
Don't have the issue myself on any ICS rom, the answer issue isn't anything new its old news most roms have fixed it. We would still need more info to help you though.

Go to setting, applications, and running services and take a screenshot for us.
Sorry for the long wait for a response. I'm getting ready for a new job and I switched my phone back to GB for that reason a while ago. When I get back today ill reinstall an ICS rom, what one would you guys suggest I use? And btw I only have about 15 songs on my phone, 250 pictures, and I delete my txt msgs every 2 weeks.

It happens several times each day. Sometimes, after getting out of an app to go back to Home, it seems like Sense reloads. It shows the HTC white screen and then "Loading..." for a few seconds before the home screen shows up. It's not something that affects functionality but it sure is annoying. If someone knows how to fix this or why it is happening, please, let me know. Thanks.
this happens to me to, but it is everytime i install or update a new app

Just means that your device ran out of memory to hold sense in, and Since rosie (HTC Sense Launcher name) went out of memory (probably because the app you that you had running used up alot of memory and resources), your phone needs to reload rosie again. Happens to everyone at least once. My advice would be to not run so many apps at once, and take off some widgets/apps off the screen. Will lessen your chance of your sensation having to boot rosie from its memory. Hope i helped.
Thanks, Shaquiel, Good luck with unlocking the bootloader. I'm following your work
BTW, most of the time I'm just using the stock music app. I had already gotten rid of most widgets too.

The same thing is happening to my phone. I just did a wipe and I am still having the same problem.

I gave tmobile a call about the sense force close and they said that a 3rd party app may be causing the problem. Then I called htc and they said it is a defective phone and to request a replacement.
It may be due to heavy RAM memory usage slowing it down to a (how us ex-iPhone users say) respring to clear all the memory. Plus Sense is a beast that isn't cool towards RAM. Out of the box you see in the Task Manager you get at MOST 200mb and average 150mb.
Just wait for your phone to be S-Off and dip into the Roms. Get Gingerbread, real Gingerbread. Will defiantly lift the weight off of the RAM.

Why waste your time..did u just read what he said???? its a memory leak...
I had the same issue. I installed Launcher Pro and haven't had any issues since. It's a pretty common problem. I don't think its a defective phone.

I can't wait for S-off. I removed the Weather Clock widget and Sense seems to reboot less.
the sensation has 768MB but only 558MB in total there is something wrong
i've had occasional reloading before but every time I change a setting or open up text messages when I close out of that task it reloads Sense. At least 25 times in a row. Trying a reboot. I will have to go back to my N1 if this persists.

Delete the htc sense account and see if that fixes your problem.

I would but last time I did that I had to recreate another. I disabled all the syncs and changed from push to manual. Maybe that will have some impact- and possibly save my battery.
Any time the free RAM drops to a certain level Android will bump off Sense, as already mentioned. This isn't a bug per se, just a ramification of the device not having enough RAM (if it didn't have Sense it would have enough RAM, but Sense uses quite a bit). Happens to me whenever I use a high quality game, or if I have enough open tasks consuming RAM.
My phone reloaded sense several times a day. Every time I sideloaded an app, every time I played a game, every time I browsed the web for more than 5 mins...etc. I even tried a factory reset and the same thing kept happening. I got tired of that and my screen seemed loose so I took it back and got a brand new one a few days ago. The new one hasn't reloaded Sense once. I've sideloaded apps through Amazon, and played a few games, this one is MUCH better. I would recommed if it hasn't been 14 days since you bought it, try taking it back and getting a new one if Sense is reloading constantly. It worked for me!

If there isn't a memory leak in Sense they are guilty of horrible product design. This was happening to me after doing nothing at all without a ton of widgets or other background apps.

Hi,
My Droid Charge randomly slows down, regardless of what ROM I'm running. It can have no applications open and it'll slow to a crawl, to the point where when I tap on a contact to call, it'll take anywhere from 15 to 60 seconds before the phone actually dials.
As mentioned, I've tried several different ROMs, and I can't figure it out. I have approximately 110 apps, but obviously the phone manages them on its own. I have 15 gb SD card that has approx 12 gigs free.
Any clue what the cause of this is or how I can diagnose it?
Have you tried v6 supercharger? Mine was doing the same thing until I used it. It frees up the ram and my phone doesn't slow down anymore.

I ran into a similar problem as I am an app crazy guy. I will try just about any app. And one day my phone started to act like yours. I do not remember which app it was, but I want to say it was an old version of skype.
Anyways, I suggest you flash whatever ROM you like clean. And then see if you run into trouble. If not then load one app at a time until you duplicate the issue. 110 is a lot which is similar to the amount I have. Most of mine just sit in backup until I need them. I now only run a few at a time.
Hope you figure it out as that can be frustrating.

Everyone deserves to get the most out of their phone!
This happens to me with every ROM as well.
I've had the most luck with Imoseyon's v4 kernel, using AutoKiller Memory Optimizer set to 40/50/60, and setting dalvik VM memory to 80m.
With the above setup I've been able to go a couple days before slow-down issues start happening, whereas before it would generally happen every few hours.
Been contemplating for a while whether to post this as it will come off as rather trollish. Had my Infuse for over a year now. When I first got it I noticed there were some "issues". I remained patient hoping or thinking maybe when GB was released it would improve. It did not. Later I needed to root this phone and came here, found a ROM that had all the AT&T junk stripped out. Phone worked better, but still had these issues.
I got to the point that I knew I would never again purchase either a Samsung phone or Android. Did not know what the culprit was. Just recently I had the chance to really take a look at an HTC EVO, and I realized that Samsung is the problem, not Android.
Number one issue is that this phone is sluggish, and sometimes unresponsive. I will touch whatever button and get that vibrating acknowledgement, but nothing happens. I will be in the app menu and wish to exist and the home button just does not respond.
Yesterday I missed a call because the bloody phone just did not respond, even though I touched the answer button. Other times I just can not make a call. I dial number, and the phone just sits there doing nothing. Eventually I just pull out the battery and restart the phone to make a simple bloody call. I had a HTC WinMo phone for years and never once experienced this. No matter how farked the OS could get with some app or whatever, the phone function always worked.
I do not run a lot of apps, and recently have experienced these issues with almost literally no apps installed. I will then add something like GO taskmanger just to confirm that the unresponsive behavior is not due to some app taking up memory/CPU etc..
Sorry for the long post, but I am at my wits end with this bloody phone. The fact that I miss calls when the **** phone is right in my hand is unacceptable. So before placing this phone in a box filled with C4 and shooting this to the moon, hoping that maybe a solution is out there.
p.s. I have 2 Infuse in use, both have the same issue.
What firmware are you running?
Is it the same firmware on both phones?
What is the launcher?
Have you tried a different modem?
Are you using a battery saver like juice defender?
Are you using an ad blocker?

You know, for the rather lengthy post, you really have not explained any detail about your issue.. You have a generic 'I have an issue, the Infuse sucks' post and its not going to help anyone resolve your issue. I find it EXTREMELY hard to believe that you have 2 infuses having the SAME EXACT ISSUE. Yes, there will be times when you get a defective phone or it isnt working up to your standards, but to have 2 defective phones with the same defect? You need to play the lottery. Also, i suggest you send the phones back. It sounds like youve already made your mind up and have pretty much bashed the samsung infuse in that entire post. The same samsung infuse that myself, and plenty of other people live with day to day and have absolutely 0 complaints.
I will give you $20.00 a piece for them!!!!

Simple . Hack it and put cm7 on it if you really need speed. Maybe its your screen protecter. Wipe the screen off. Cm9 can be sluggish, for speed go to miui on gingerbread or cm7
Id be willing to buy one of the infuses
Trust me...sounds like you got two defective units...which like Scott, I find hard to believe...but hey its possible-idk when you got hem.but if it hasn't been a year then put them back to stock with gtgs unbrick and file a warranty claim with Samsung...the infuse is a great phone and I never had the problem you described...I do have a question though...did you get them both at the same time? Cause I don't see why you would get a second if your first was having problems
Anyways...if you wanna sell one hmu...I may buy one depending on the price and if I can get the money (I think I already may have one lined up for $170 just need to get the money)

Again this has been a recurring problem since purchase, and during this time I have had stock Froyo, rooted Froyo ROM, GB update, and for one now a the GB rooted ROM.
When the slow to unresponsiveness occurs there does not appear to be any specific cause. Prior to updating to the rooted GB I had used GO Taskmanager, and long before that some other app I long since forgot the name of. Point was that they had shown that neither CPU was excessive, or memory was used up. Both phones have data services disabled and are strictly Wifi only. There are no tasks or extra programs run in the background (though did install Connectbot today). I no longer use any Live wallpaper. After updating to the rooted GB I left the phone in that state (no software installed) for a week or so, and the problem still occured.
This occurs when calling or answering calls, but as previously posted occurs sometimes just opening the Applications menu as an example. So it is not a specific task or program that is slow or unresponsive. Earlier this evening I got a call, slide the bar across to answer and the screen just hung there for a few moments. This time it was at least not long enough that I missed the call. When the call was done I looked and there simply was nothing running on the phone. No apps, no web browser or mail, in fact I was not even connected to the wifi (I have data 3G/4G service disabled on the phone).
are you completely wiping before every flash youve done? have you tried a complete wipe and start from fresh?

Task manager is NOT the best app to tell you what is running in the background.
Maps and other location apps may not be listed but will consume resourse that can be the cause of your lag.
The fact that stopping wallpaper or live wall paper off alleviate the condition may suggest that the phone is running at max capacity. Steps to reduce the load improves it. Live wp, facebook, maps, stock email and other device manager from stock att was one of the first @#$% I took out on any rom I run.
Having a large amount of apps installed can also cause this lag. The OS may only be able to handle so many.
Have a poor signal at the time of the call may also be an issue, especially if both of your phones have this issue occasionally but not consistently.
Lock screen can also be a factor. Some sleep setting may also cause the phone to wake up poorly. I get around this by turning off my lock screen. On the call settings, you can also change the answering options so that it will override others and make it easy to answer.
On any firmware - stock or modded, after you have the phone running for an extended period of time without a reboot, you may start to see some lags. This may be across all devices. You may need to reboot it occasionally or boot into recovery and wipe the cache.
These issues may or not go away once you have a device with more power or resources..ex: dual or quad core, 1gb or 2gb ram etc..my guess is when a device has more power, programmers will come up with more resourse intensive apps that may hinder the phone as well.
Lastly, pay attention to your battery meter. As the power dips below 30%, there are steps taken by the OS to conserve the battery. This may give you lags as well..possibly one of the reason why it seems random also.
If you wanted to test out the lag issue due to background apps, go to settings/account and sync. turn off background data. You will retain the (radio) phone and text but there will be no email/facebook, weather, widgets/market/amazon etc updates unless you manually update them. If this runs smoothly but lags when you turn it back on, you can start the process of narrowing down your culprit.

I have had the Sprint HTC EVO 4g LTE for about 4 months. It's a great phone but I doubt I'll see LTE for quite some time as I'm in a high tourist area where the population explodes over 10x in the summer months then backs down to just the locals in the off season (Myrtle Beach). They wheel in a half dozen COWs for the peak season.
My first EVO phone would not connect data (1 day old) and was replaced then next day. The second phone I rooted via RegawMOD EVO 4G LTE Rooter x64 prior to the first update and after 5 weeks it was replaced due to boot loop. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1800686) Performance was great until it would not boot. (replaced by Bestbuy as "Junked Out", showed Tampered", "Unlocked")
I'm on my 3rd phone, about 2 months old, kept completely stock but noticed within the last week or so an annoying slow down. It seems that anytime I either close an app or switch to the home page I see the "LOADING..." icon for up to 30-45 seconds before displaying a desktop screen. (Multi-task switching seems okay but slower). It's become quite a pain as the performance seems to have degraded quite a bit. Also when clicking on web URLs I often get 3/4 page loaded when it dumps me back to a desktop screen. (How rude!!) Using stock browser.
I have not allowed any automatic OTA updates hoping to root again when methods have become reliable to do so.
I've checked RAM and I typically have 1.5gb free, local phone storage (10gb) shows 9.7gb free and external (32gb sdcard) with 20.5gb free so I can't see any system resources as a problem.
Is there an app that can debug the file system to determine the reason for this behavior? It has to be the operating system as the problem? I know if I re-root the phone it will rebuild the OS and file system but I'm nervous about the Bestbuy maintenance plan.
Is there any app that can report detail what is causing the slow switching?

Sometimes there are runaway processes, but Android has a built in task killer which you can use to find any apps that are using too much RAM (however you did say RAM wasn't an issue so I don't think that would help)
I don't think an application is the cause of the slowdown. Maybe a memory leak?

What's with the internal storage part, that is only used for System-Apps. Maybe this is full, or almost full?
You could try the app "SD-Maid" but it requires root.
I also think a factory reset is the best idea. While a stock ROM is not always...
The only thing I can think of is that I was installing a different browsers I install Chrome and Firefox and they didn't have a any better performance than the stock browser so I uninstalled them..
It's annoying to wait 30-40 seconds waiting for a cached home screen to reload.. everytime...
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
You might try aLogcat. Let it run while the phone lags, then read the log and see if you can figure out what's causing the lag.
Sudden loss of performace
So none of the logging APPs were of any help to me....(I wouldn't know what to look for...) Benchmark tests didn't show any substantial performance loss so the hardware is good.
Unable to stand watching the "Loading...." message for 30-45 seconds every time I went to home was so annoying that I hit the factory reset. Performance has returned to super fast... the same as brand new. I had also installed Chrome and Firefox but uninstalled them because Chrome (no flash support) and Firefox just not ready for mobile. URL box disappeared from stock browser so I had to do the reset.

I'd sooner bet on some app going wild.
Hi all,
First of all, I did some research, and didn't find anything related to my question (a special issue I'm having I guess).
Second, I know that Android uses as much Ram as possible, and the more ram it uses, the better it is (but that's not my case).
Here's the problem :
It happened last month, and will happen soon again.
With time, Ram consumption increases in my Nexus 5 daily, bit by bit until only <100Mo is free. This leads to the keyboard not opening up for example, because the Ram is full.
Compared to my Nexus 4 (rooted, PA 4.2b4 [even though I don't think it makes any difference]), apps stay active >200 hours (facebook, viber, ebay, Swiftkey etc.), while on N4, Swifkey is active since 22hours ago for example.
I don't really reboot my Nexus 5 (stock, unrooted), maybe this is the issue ?
When it happened a month ago, I uninstalled a game and it fixed it, until now.. Available Ram is roughly 600Mo, and it's shrinking each day.
I hope I didn't forget anything, if you think I did, please do ask.
Thank you for any suggestions (and for reading this, while you're at it.)
rebooting your phone daily, or every couple days, will keep your phone running at its best. if you dont feel like taking the 20-30 seconds to reboot your phone every once in a while, then deal with it.
Yeah I always recommend regular reboots. Also, maybe you have an app that has a memory leak

Nah, nah, sounds like a good compromise. I'd rather reboot the hell out of it than stay keyboardless..

About memory leaks.. I have no idea, I only have "the basics" installed. I'll do a quick analysis just in case.
Cheers ! :good:
