I am on CleanRom 3.0 right now, fresh install. Now, for the problem. Today while sitting in class I took my phone out to see it was booted into safe mode. So I rebooted it back, and noticed a lot of my downloaded apps were launching 10-25 seconds after I clicked to open them. So, I rebooted again. That didn't work. I cleared cache and dalvik cache. That didn't work. So, I dirty flashed CleanRom 3.0, which still didn't work. After driving and listening to spotify in my car, the apps launched completely fine, and still are. Does anyone know why this is happening? By the way, this happened on my rooted stock rom, that's why I switched roms. I don't know if this could cause any issues, but I do use Directory Bind.
Have you checked if power saver is on?
Another possibility could be a lot of applications running the background and just slowing your phone down.
Check your task manager by holding the home button for about 2-3 seconds.
Yea, power saving is off. And there isn't any apps running in the background when it's ran slow. Most stock apps will launch fast (settings, phone, clock), but downloaded ones won't (I funny, handcent sms). I seriously can't figure out what the issue is. I've even tried messing around with set cpu, but that didn't help.

so, the Facebook app stopped working, and now only force closes. someone right next to me on a different android phone has no problem, so the issue must be isolated to the charge.
I,m running a rom called infinity, but I can't find the thread with that rom any more.
anyone else run into problems with the Facebook app? I've tried clearing cache, uninstalling, rebooting, reinstalling, and even tried emailing myself a known working apk to install. nothing works. what did Facebook do to break their app??

lol I've always used another app for Facebook though they all have their little problems, I'd suggest friendcaster (almost an exact clone of the official app), seesmic (cool smooth UI but lacking some features) and tweetdeck (kinda basic but gets the job done lol)

That is good.
Around the time I made this post, my phone began acting very flaky. On my way home from chuck e cheese where the app stopped working, and after I confirmed that Facebook was up, and the problem was isolated to my phone specifically, I rebooted into recovery to clear cache.
After clearing the cache and rebooting, my phone got stuck in a bootloop. No amount of battery pulling and trying again would get me out of the loop. After getting home I just flashed a new Rom. I decided a rooted debloated stock gingerbread rom was the way to go, so I flashed that with Odin.
Well, everything was peachy for about a week. On my way to a wedding rehearsal dinner with my girlfriend, I charged up my phone as I normally do before going out due to the dismal battery life when actually using the phone. I had the phone off at the time thinking that would make it charge ever so slightly faster since I was in a hurry.
Once I was ready to go I unplugged, hit the power button, stuffed the phone in my pocket, and left. Over an hour later, I pulled it out and noted that it was booting...
Then it rebooted
and rebooted
and rebooted
I was in ANOTHER bootloop. Tried battery pulling. Nope, back in a bootloop. I gave up for a while. At dinner I pulled it out and began tinkering. I cleared cache in recovery, but still was in the bootloop. I cleared Dalvik cache, but still was in the bootloop. I tried the factory restore option...
Well, that worked, however, I had disabled the default launcher (by renaming it with the file extension ".bak") and installed ADW launcher EX from the market. I hadn't moved the ADW apk to the system folder, thinking it would be easier to update if I left it in its default location.
So I had a phone with no launcher.
However...
I stumbled upon a solution. Somehow the voice search button still worked. I searched for market. That launched the browser. Clicking on the first link asked me if i wanted to use the browser or Market to complete the action. I chose Market. I tried installing ADW Launcher EX, but the install failed. Damn. I installed Root Explorer and launched it from within Market, used that to rename the default launcher, and voila!
Now, strangely, my phone is a LOT snappier than it has been the last couple weeks, though I've reinstalled all my apps except ADW.
I haven't quite figured out what caused either of the Bootloops, and I'm really not certain why my phone is snappier NOW after that ordeal than it was when I first flashed the rom.
After flashing a rom am I supposed to go into recovery and do a factory restore from within the new rom and recovery? I thought all you had to do was clear the Cache and Dalvik cache.
You don't necessarily have to, unless the ROM specifically tells you to in the instructions, but you can. I've also had times where my phone just crashes and burns, and I have to restock and flash ROM again. Not very fun and I have no idea what causes it, but it's not a big deal having to lose a of my stuff since I have TiBu on a nightly schedule. It's just a minor inconvenience.

Hello,
I have been struggling with this issue forever. I am using my Google nav app and all of a sudden it freezes barely updating with CPU @100%. I have tried different options using 3g instead of 4g, not using bluetooth, not starting nav when CPU is busy nothing has worked. All of a sudden either at the start or during a navigation session the CPU will go up to 100% and the app will stop updating and if I am driving I left without directions until I reboot. Huge headache. I used different system monitors like 'WatchDog Lite' and 'System Tuner' and those apps say that the most CPU consuming process during that time period is 'Android System Process'. I have no clue as to what 'Android System Process' is doing during that period of time except it is taking a large amount of CPU.
Only option left is to overclock, upgrade to a faster CPU from Verizon or go to Apple IPhone
That's strange, I used the navigation all the time without a problem, besides slow locks. Have you tried clearing the app data, sounds like its the app itself misbehaving.

I haven't had an issue like that and its definitely abnormal. Have you tried installing a ROM like Tweaked or a kernel like PBJ?
Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda premium
I had the same problem before I rooted and installed my first ROM. No problems since then. Recommend you root, install Tweeked or Eclipse and PBJ, also don't undervolt too much. You're headache should stop. I haven't had that happen to me in long long time. I'm a truckdriver and use the maps quite often.

I had the same problem star up all of a sudden a month or two ago. Google maps would just close by itself, and nav would freeze while driving. While messing around one day, I ended up having to wipe my phone and ODIN stock, re root, and put Tweaked 2.1 ROM on it again, and restore all my backed up apps. To my pleasant surprise Google maps and nav are working flawlessly now.

I have been partially able to fix the problem. One I downloaded Copilot Live as a navigation app which uses offline maps instead of downloading maps on the fly like google nav. However, still my phone used to lag close to 20-30 seconds when I would go to my home screen and similarly when I went to my application lists. I was using Seepu so I could see that my CPU was at 100% all the time. This led me to believe that there might be an issue with my SDCard and hence I downloaded sdbooster https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mehrmann.sdbooster&hl=en .
I saw an amazing performance improvement after I set the cache size to 8192 mb and the lags all but disappeared. However, still when I am on my home screen it sometimes lags 5 seconds which is still infuriating. What the heck is it doing, is it reading apps from the disk?
Basically what I'm experiencing is that at times, I'll click an icon for an app (it doesn't matter which app), and the entire TW launcher will freeze for about 10 seconds, doing nothing. Then, all of a sudden the application will appear and load normally. I've tried wiping normal /cache and Dalvik cache, and nothing helps.
Now when I say it freezes, I don't mean that the app loads and I see a white screen while it does it's normal loading process... what I mean is that I touch the "Twitter" app, and then my home screen completely freezes (I can't swipe to another screen or anything... it's just locked), and then 10 seconds later it decides to load stuff.
Let me say that I don't consider myself a noob. I'm very comfortable flashing ROMs, recoveries, doing nandroid backups, etc. I'm running CleanROM 2.0, and my bootloader is unlocked. I have CWM Touch 6.0.1.2 flashed from ROM Manager. This issue has happened on Synergy, too. AOSP ROMs seem to work just fine. I know it's not related to the TouchWiz launcher, because the same problem happens with Nova, too.
Right now I'm trying Imoseyon's LeanKernel 0.3 beta (non-kexec). Has anyone else experienced this problem? How do you fix it?
I just did. After I setup CPU profiles in ROM toolbox. I've used them before without issue. This time it was as you described. The solution was to reinstall ROM toolbox.
Perhaps you've recently used a program that directly interacts withe the kernel and perhaps its causing you woes

Lately my Nexus S has been behaving oddly. It's slow to respond for simple things like opening up gosms takes 10-15 seconds at times, pulling down the notification bar takes longer than normal and when it gets slow it tends to freeze up while loading whatever I have asked it to do.
I figured it was just jelly bean causing it to work harder than before so I went back to gingerbread (CM 7.2) which I had on it before and it used to be pretty snappy, but alas the issue remains. Very sluggish and freezing up.
On top of this my battery now does not last more than 4 hours when it used to go a good 12-13 hours and the phone gets very hot at times, I can feel it in my pocket when it heats up.
All of this has been happening the last 4 days.
So far I've tried doing a factory reset, a full wipe and re-flash, fixed permissions. Nothing has worked so far.
I am on the CM 7.2 kernel, Right now the only apps I've installed are the google apps, thinking it may have been a rogue app, but the problem is still there.
Any ideas what the issue may be, or is my dearly beloved Nexus just taking it's final breaths? lol
Install OS Monitor and see which app or process is eating up the cpu. Most likely the media scanner is running with an almost full sdcard. Also try to reformat your sdcard, back up first though.

My SD Card has only 2GB used at the moment.
I installed watchdog and this morning I see 3 alerts that the Gmail app was pushing the cpu at 63%. That's the only app that shows heavy cpu use.

That's weird. Try uninstalling Gmail and see if that fixes your issue. Then you can reinstall it from the PlayStore.

So gmail was the battery killer in this case. I removed it then reinstalled from market and it's normal again.
My nexus is still vsery sluggish when opening and using apps. Even typing this now it freezes up and skips letters.
Also the phone is quite hot to the touch at the moment after doing a reboot about 5 minutes ago.
Any ideas?
Hi,
What JB ROM were u using? What kernel?
Because JB is smooth as heck for me and I've tried a few different ROMs.
It could be ur apps notifications or the animation on the app drawer.... or other transition animation. Just turn them all off.
Try clearing the cache and data on some the app under "manage app" section.
Crack up the CPU if u got a lot of data being used in the background such as email, gmail, goggle now, etc.
Heck find some time to reflash the ROM u like, but run it without adding anything to see if it starts out sluggish. If so then its the ROM and or kernel.
If it starts out smooth then add ur apps and background data one by one to see what is hogging the CPU.
I'm running codename android with air kernel(stable) and I have minimal or no lag at all.
Slim bean with air kernel also runs smooth.
Good luck

I've also read that if u were a flash a holic u may have some unwanted data on ur SD card that being read by the android system.
So copy ur SD card to ur computer and format the SD card.... then only add the ROM zip files onto the SD card for a very fresh I stall.
Good luck

I tried androxide and the 99% google experience JB roms. I then tried CM 9.
All of these were sluggish, freezing up constantly and running very hot.
Since my last post I have gone back to CM 7.0.3 which is the rom I was running prior to trying JB.
This rom runs smooth, very responsive and the battery life is great.
Go figure I guess.
This used to happen on my phone, and it still happens on my wife's. Basically she presses call, and the call won't initiate for 30-60 seconds. The phone is rooted with factory fp1e. I just wiped it a few days ago, started fresh, and right now it is her only complaint. I've tried wiping cache and dalvik. I also tried to fix permissions with cwm 4.xx but the log says it's missing some sort of file. I tried permissions with ROM toolbox but it just spins for hours... I don't think it did anything.
I've been living with that annoying problem forever. Tweaked 3.2 stock or lazarus. I've had the problem way before 3.x or fp5 too

Try deleting cache or reinstalling software. It fixed it for me different times.

Mine does that too sometimes and rebooting seems to help for a bit. Sucks when trying to win something off the radio and you have to be caller #19 or whatever
Mine was doing the same but only worse. It could take minutes before it dialed. Even worse, it would dial while I was on the phone because I pressed "Send" so many times before. The problem is really bad for me because I have a older phone. Anyway, I fixed it by doing the following. I used Cool Tools, OS Monitor and Watchdog to look for runaway apps or processes that use too much CPU. I removed many tweaks I've added like SD boost and Dalvik Heap size and set them back to the stock settings. Using a tool like Rom Toolbox, set your CPU to maximum while the screen is on, normal when it's not. My CPU usage while idle is now very low (<5%). Cool Tool is a great tool for checking this. I also recommend you try CrossBreeder by idcrisis. It's better than the Seeder app, in my opinion. Good luck...
EDIT: Look @ my post #1819 in the CrossBreeder forum for a little more info.
