Purchased my Droid Razr HD on launch day and I must say I was in love with the phone on ICS. Was extremely excited when the JB update hit. But since I updated, my phone has been a complete mess. I have been patient in hopes it would fix itself, but below are some of the issues.
When I unlock the phone, the clock in the circle widget lags, so I will unlock, it will say 2:00 for a solid second or two, then update to 2:10. The time should not lag like that. It basically lags and adjusts every time I unlock it. If I haven't touched my phone in 45 minutes, I'll unlock, it will say 2:00, then two seconds goes by and it updates to 2:45
When I hit messaging to view my texts, all of my contacts show up as just phone numbers, then after a few seconds the names load. If I scroll down further they are still numbers then switch to names.
The browser goes unresponsive. Everything from inability to swap tabs, to hitting a link. Usually I'll force stop chrome.
Overall the entire phone experiences major lag issues. Typing, swapping apps, etc... Anyone else experience this? Could the phone have just downloaded the OS poorly?

It's seriously making me want to dump this phone.
Indeed there is lag. Here's a funny thing, I get lag using the stock launcher and swiping the page from left to right with the any of the stock image wallpapers loaded.
However, if I use a live wallpaper (say Phase Beam) the swiping from left to right with the live wallpaper active is blisteringly quick.. How fcuked up is that?
I am having the same issue. I factory reset the phone before flashing JB. I also have times that the phone is completely unresponsive and requires a hard reboot. Any ideas?
there is definite lag when scrolling over to the quick settings page, idk why motorola can't get that fixed. My big complaint is the lack of stock android browser. I hate chrome, its slow compared to the aosp browser. I actually bought another Galaxy Nexus and am going back to that. Will miss the battery life though. You could always use the utility in the dev section to go back to ICS though
I used the utility to go back to ICS. I didn't have lag issues, actually my phone on JB was much faster and smoother. I went back because of all of the features missing from JB. For instance:
1) Motorola keyboard (much better than the AOSP keyboard in JB IMO)
2) Manage internal storage feature (gone in JB)
3) Wired headphone equalizer in ICS works on anything coming out of the headphone jack. (In JB it only works in the music app)
4) Also there is a bug where if you are listening to music through headphones and get a text message, the notification only comes through at less than half volume and there is no pause in the music. I have missed several text messages because of this. Even if i know the sms is coming through and i see it appear on the screen i still can't hear it over the music
I'm sure there were a few more things i am missing, but those were enough for me to switch back.
same lagg here
on ics, adw launcher heped with my lagg, but on jb, doesnt seem to matter what launcher i use, lagg everywhere. unlocking is annoying and sms app takes a bit to populate. cant wait for a solid cm 10.1 for this. I feel like its the only fix.
I would have thoght since motorola is owned by google, the os would be as good as the nexus. NOT even close
Not the ideal solution, but have you guys tried doing a full wipe factory reset and/or wiping the cache partition?
My Razr HD has just started developing a "dim" screen from waking after a long period. Not sure if this is software or hardware, it doesnt happen all the time - maybe once a day - but I have to go to the display settings and check/uncheck the auto brightness box to fix it....
Any of you out there having a similar issue??
I installed nova launcher prime and it is extremely smooth.

I wiped my cache using fastboot and, initially at least, things seem much smoother. Give it a try.

What? I tried to get to the stock recovery, but I cannot seem to get past the "dead android" screen no matter what button combination I try.
Edit: you have to be really precise when holding down the volume up and down buttons lol
Is it hold down the power/lock button, then tap volume up? Think that's the combo on my Nexus S
I've been trying to figure out this lag thing too...I really dislike lag. I disabled Google Now & disabled the Verizon Apps as previously suggested. I also think I may have found something awesome:
It may be premature, but I believe I've found a way to get rid of almost all lag. I installed this apk called Seeder.
My lag pretty much gone. I've been disappointed in EVERY Android phone I've ever had (because of lag)...this seems to have fixed it.
I installed the leak the second it was confirmed to be the legit Verizon approved build and the lag for me was comparable if not slightly better than ICS. Nova Launcher is good though, you lose the settings menu that always lags the first time you swipe to it, but you can replace that with Power toggles for the pull-down menu.
What you're experiencing seems much worse than what I remember because the phone was still highly usable, just not perfect. I was never a big fan of Circles, even after removing it from my home screen it would find its way into my list of running processes till I froze it with titanium backup. I froze virtually all the Verizon crap that'd run constantly too and the phone has been nearly flawless since installing Nova.
Also came across several sites I need to access for work that render horribly slow on Chrome like Hawaii'sVIP, it just chugs along like a slide show. Dolphin Browser on the other hand renders heavily populated pages almost instantly. It also looks truly hardware accelerated during rapid zooming and scrolling, where Chrome often jumps around and loads the page in chunks.

Hello everybody,
I have this problem that's more than annoying and that I really couldn't find a solution to. I've tried finding someone with the same issues but couldn't. The problem is, when someone is calling me, my phone rings, but the screen doesn't turn on, only the capacitive buttons do. I didn't have this problem before, but after installing some stuff it appeared. I don't really know what caused it and how to fix it. I have XPERIA Z FIRE SERIES 5 rom for Tipo, Nova launcher and running Crystal 2 theme. Could any of those possibly cause the problem? I can't see the number thats calling me and it's hard to answer the call since I can't see the buttons either. Aside of that, I have one other problem. My phone ram is allways on ~400 without any app turned on. I have a few apps for apps killing and clearing ram and I do that often but still it doesn't help since after cleaning it's back to like 95% in a matter of an hour. And even when I kill all the active processes and apps, my ram is still on like 65% usage. I don't know whats using it up, I can't run anything on the phone, I've deleted all the games since they lagged like hell, even the most simple ones that should run smoothly. Hell it laggs even when I have to unlock it, enter menu, call someone, do anything...
Well, thanks in advance for any advice that you have to offer.

It seems to me that your rom isn't bugfree... Flash a stock fimrware, and everythig should be pico bello . The RAM usage is strange, but the call issue isn't very rare, many people report this. Flashing a stock firmware will most likely fix this!
Have a nice day!
Hello everyone!
Let me start off by saying that i'm actually using an unrooted, officially update nexus 5, updated to the latest 5.0.1
I have no problem whatsoever, battery really seem to have improved, but lately i've been getting a strange behavior
After a period of use (it goes from a couple of days to a whole week) the phone oddly slows down when i press the middle button, to return back to the homescreen.
For example, if I'm using the facebook app, and watch a couple of videos along with opening a few external links, when i press the home button, the whole home "loads" from start. I mean, i literally see nothing for a second, then it slowly loads widgets and icons. After it's been loaded, everything works flawlessly again, but if i open facebook again, use it for a while and press the home screen, it loads again.
Mind that i have no custom drawer (i tried Themer, it gives me the same error, it says "loading homescreen" when the problem appears) but the problem is still there with the stock homescreen. I tried force-closing the apps i used, thinking about a memory issue, but to no avail. I have to turn off and turn on the device, and everything works wonders again.
Is there any app that could help me with this issue? I'd like to understand why it's doing this and which app is slowing down my phone.

I am not Sure whether this is 100% sure, But have heard that there is a memory leak issue in lollipop. Which might be the reason of ur problem. And the oly way get enough memory is to restart. But again, I am not Sure whether the above information is correct though.

I've heard that too, but it's strange that it has appeared only now. I haven't had this kind of issue ever since i updated it.
The FB app is just real buggy. My personal theory is whatever that app does exposes the Lollipop memory leak.

Yep i know about that, the FB app is just horrible script-wise. Nevertheless, i've never had THIS problem. And even if i forceclose it, it doesn't solve the problem anyway.
Hi,
I got this phone already with Lollipop and I noticed annoying behavour. After some time of usage, when I unlock the phone all the homescreen icons and weather widget refresh for a scond.. That happens all the time. If J close all the apps via taskmanger then its ok for a while and then happens all over again. Anyone else noticed the same behavior? Looks like lollipop mem usgae problem... ?

I do like LG launcher and want to stay with it. I just want to understand if this is my device specific problem

Don't worry this is completely normal ..... It is software issue as the LG doesn't lock its launcher app into memory .... so when you exit out of an app (especially graphic/memory intensive) the launcher reloads itself into memory hence widgets and app icon flickers/refresh .... if you use smart notice widget i suggest to remove it from home screen as it uses memory ..... third party launchers such as Nova or even Google now launcher have memory locking feature ..... i hope some day LG clear this issues as new LG (G3) UI is currently the best UI in mobile space (my opinion)

This was a very big problem on the LG G3 however I have no such problem on my G Pro 2 running Lollipop. I assumed it was a lack of ram issue as my G3 only had 2gb and my G Pro 2 has 3 so I am very surprised to hear that you are having this issue.
Thanks for the replys guys. If this is software issue (looks like it is) am very disappointed by LG. And about removing widget, it really not the point since this phone has fast CPU and 3gb RAM and it can deffinately handle it...
Anyone else has had lag problems ?
I don't know if It's just my phone, but for me it's unbearable, Sometimes I have to wait 10 or more seconds until the phone loads all the icons (in the main screen) .
Sometimes I tried to write a whatsapp and I've to wait again some seconds until the keyboard appears. (Even when you start to write doesn't respond, and some seconds after write all the letters the same time).
or if I try to open any app. it's the same .. I've to wait some seconds while the phone is completely frozen.
it could happens in any moment. but it's very strange because the 65% of the time the phone works fine.
I try that don't install heavy app and I don't use the phone to play any game.
I tried to change the settings (Power saving) but in any option this improves.
Anybody has any idea about what could be happening ?
I'm trying to wait until new update and I'm hoping that this improves the performance ... but I'm thinking seriously to sell the phone

the mate 7 is laggy (it's actually a software problem , not hardware, but huawei is not capable of fixing it)
for your particular problem, 10 seconds seems like a lot.
you could try toubleshooting by uninstalling apps.
but the only way to be sure is by doing a factory reset

Yes, I tried to uninstall a lot of apps, For example Facebook (Now I'm using little Facebook), and even I changed the keyboard for the default.
I don't have too much apps installed, some radios, some photo editor ... .
If I restart the phone works fine all the day, but in some hours the phone gets laggy again ...
It's a shame because I like a lot this phone, but I'm thinking to change it !
I don't know what to do because I don't know other similar phone, this is perfect for me .
My mate 7 isn't laggy at all...It's same as note 3 that I have had.
I have L09 never had any lag, everything loads fast, with 0.5 animation speed phone this phone fly.I have it for 1 year and 2 months , not a new user

I think the upcoming marshmallow update will reborn this device again and solve the lag problems.
Until then I really recommend changing to the Google now launcher. It makes a very big difference indeed. I have tried most launchers but I have recently concluded that Google now launcher is best. Set fastest animation speed in developer options as well.
You set Google launcher as default launcher under manage apps under default apps

Mate7 L09 331 b lollipop root with twrp no bloatware, Nova launcher prime and changes of governor an inteligent mode ondemand... and normal mode with performance governor my Mate is a super rocket!!
El meu anglés es desastrós jajaja
Quelcom m'ho dius per missatge privat... serà millor!!
Finally, I lost my patience besides when I saw this offer.
I hope to receive my new phone and forget this forever.
It's a shame because it has a good hardware, good battery and screen.
I know op may not be interested anymore but if you use twrp to fix permissions this boosts your phones speed a great amount

Can you explain this in more detail?
Best regards!
Yes, can anyone explain this? I had a look and saw the option there. Doing a TWRP backup so I can test it, although on B331 the phone runs nice anyway.
The problem with performance on Kitkat seems mostly to do with the Kernel and how the two processors are controlled.
Edit:
Did some Googling, DO NOT use TWRP to "fix permissions" as it doesn't necessarily fix them, it can brick your OS!
It will brick your phone if you fix selinux permissions but as long as you don't check that you'll be fine
I fix the permissions everytime I restore a back up and I have done boot comparisons and there's a difference
If you do wanna try it you have to go into twrp recovery->advanced->fix permissions make sure selinux is unchecked (it should be by default)
And proceed to fix permissions
I know that it doesn't have relation but since I left to use hangouts the phones started to work better without any kind of lag...
