Hello. I'm absolutely new here but I've done as much digging as I can and can't seem to find an answer for my problem so I decided to ask someone.
I recently bought a LG LS675 Boost Mobile Tribute 5 to replace my Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini that started acting wonky. For the first time ever I rooted a phone (I'm proud of myself even though the developers did all the work writing the program, thank you) and got rid of some useless stock apps. Yay. OK, so that freed up some space and got rid of notifications for useless apps.
I had read that automatic web page reloading has to do with the phone's RAM being too little so I bought Roehsoft RAM Expander and bumped it up to 4GB. While I know it doesn't increase your true RAM I thought it would have helped some because of what the post said but it hasn't helped at all. Then I read that if you overclock your CPU you can improve the entire experience of everything but I can't locate any kernels and recovery ROMs for this specific device, and the thread was VERY CLEAR that it MUST be device specific or you'll end up with a paper weight. So, I'd like to know what I can do (if anything) to prevent this. It's quite annoying to have your page reload after your screen times out or after you answer a text message, or swap to another tab, or do anything really. It's really annoying when you're reading a long article and it refreshes because the screen went to sleep and then you have to wait for it to reload and then scroll down to find where you left off. But probably the worst is when I want to go to another site and it forces me to wait for what I was looking at to reload before it will process my request to go to another site. And it isn't like it reloads in a few seconds it sometimes takes a full minute or the screen will time out (because I like trying to multi-task) and didn't notice the 30 second mark had passed and have to wait for it to start the process all over again. I've increased the RAM and close out apps I know I won't be using again for a while. I've tried OperaMini, Firefox (my main browser), Chrome, Dolphin, Puffin, and they all do it. They all reload the page/tab if I leave it for one second or my phone times out.
Should I ditch this phone and get something else? My Galaxy didn't have this problem but it was doing other weird annoying stuff which is why I stopped using it. Should I just suck it up? Is there a developing/settings option someone can guide me though to quit this automatic reloading or another awesome web browser? I believe my Galaxy was/is superior to this phone in every way really, but for now this is the phone I have so what can I do? I really appreciate your help! Thank you.

I used to own an iphone 4 and that device has great responsivnes. The captivate not so much. ALot of times I would have to tap 2-3 times, especially the 4 main bottom keys. Anyways, I went to android for pure customization. Can someone help me out? I cannot find the option to disable the screen lock on my captivate. I just want to be able to lock/unlock it with a button, instead of swyping the unresponsive screen. Thanks
Go download Lock Bot on the market.

I just downloaded lock bot and it doesnt even have a feature to disable the screen lock. I went to android to be able to customize every thing and this one thng I can't do really starting to piss me off.
the app you are lookink for is called "no lock" and does only that

Yeah I figured. Well if I can't disable this annoying screen lock, ill just set the lock out to 30 minutes. This android device has such an unresponsive screen compared to the iphone 4. I find myself having to tap 2-3 times on an icon and the system also LAGS. Any of you expereinicing this or is it just me? For example, i have a full album of really high quality DSLR images and in the gallery mode, pictures sometimes take forever to load when im scrolling through. My old iphone 4 did this instantly. Switching between apps like Email, web browser and MP3 player would not be instant. 2-5 second lag in between. Really disapointing on the captivate.
The poster above just gave you the solution for disabling the locking screen so I don't know why you are still posting about not being able to do it.
I experienced so major lagging etc when I first got the Captivate. I hard reset it to start fresh. Since then, I've used the stock launcher, Launcher Pro etc loaded lots of apps and I'm not experiencing lagging anymore with the exception of Exchange email which takes a second to open.
Seems like you were really satisfied with the iphone 4. You keep referring to it like an old girlfriend. "My old girlfriend never hassled me about going out with the boys..." At least, if the Captivate doesn't work out for you, you have a phone to go back to that you were apparently happy with.

yeah, we have a thread solely for whining in...there was never a need for you to make a new topic about this. it just clutters the homescreen.
simple searching would answer a lot of your questions...root the phone, remove the att bloatware and then restart it and get a task killer. problem solved.
don't use the sammy widgets if you don't like them (i use them and they don't lag) and most importantly, android allows for customization but it's based off linux so heed these words - YOU NEED TO DO IT YOURSELF. in other words, you need to write the app that bypasses the lock screen, you need to write your own themes and you need to quit whining about it.
the iPhone has a lock screen too, i don't know why yours is being laggy but like everything YMMV...so try the fixes (refer to pimp my captivate) and then let us know if you have any other issues...
oh and welcome to the forums, just use the damn search button
I have a strange problem with my Hero that is hard to describe. Even before I rooted my phone I had this problem which leads me to believe it could possibly be a hardware malfunction. Anyways..
The problem is that over time after a complete wipe and flash of a custom rom (I've tried several) that my phones slowly deteriorates. It will be running fast and great for a week or two and then its starts to slow down to the point where it is completely unusable and I am forced to wipe and flash again. While its acting this way I have tried killings tasks, emptying cache, hard resets... every simple solution I can think of....
The other odd thing is that I use my phone very lightly. I only install 4-6 apps and those are the basics like pandora and such...
And I'd like to add that maybe I'm wrong about my phone acted this way when I had 1.6 official on it. It's been awhile.... so maybe I corrupted something when I rooted my phone for the first time?
Really I wish you could see the way my phone acts... its ridiculous . I would take a youtube video of it if I wasnt too lazy too. Crazy stuff like it taking a whole 30 seconds to a minute for a unlock pattern to finally go through, Or how when I try and type a phone number its like 3 or 4 presses "behind" as I type ( and im not typing quickly) or when I try to scroll through my contact list it just gets stuck and then finally it "catches up" and stutters all the way down to the bottom because of how many swipes I attempted.....
...help
have you tried.....?
Have you tried to run an RUU of eith 1.6 or 2.1? if you runn an RUU it will clear out any lerking "software" issues and then just re-root and try that out then try a custom rom after that.
Try Autokiller from the market. Once you install it, run it. Set the autokiller settings to something like Optimum or Strict (if that doesn't work for you, try Aggressive).
This will adjust the low memory killer settings to a more aggressive number. This, hopefully, will help.

I agree. I use auto killer on aggressive with CM6 and it runs great forever
My phone does the exact same thing!
I first really noticed it when I flashed the official sprint 2.1 update. I think it has something to do with the buildup of cache on the phone.
I have been running CM6 for a little over a month and have recently noticed it getting slightly hung up at times, but nothing compared to how it was with the official 2.1 update. Also, remember that CM6 does not have Sense, which can really slow down the phone.
I also I agree with you that it seemed like my phone did not do this on 1.6, but it has been quite sometime since I flashed 2.1.
Does anyone know what really causes this exponential slow down; to the point where the phone is barely useable?
hm... I will try autokiller.....thanks for the advice
as for CM6..... I've tried not using sense UI but to me its my favorite part of my phone... for example the facebook/twitter/flickr integration with my contact list is invaluable.... is there a replacement for this?
is anyone else able to add anything else?

Try Zen-Rom. It has all that you are looking for and is very fast and stable.
Sent from my Zen-Rom Hero!
Auto killer is the way to go. I found Aggressive setting too much for my tastes; if I was on a webpage, then went to the home screen for something else and opened back up the browser, it would have to reload it because it was killed. I set it on optimum, and get no slow down, and can still truly multi task.

Or NFX-Hero. I'm not a Sense guy, but I've experimented with that ROM, and it was the fastest Sense 2.1 IMO.
Just curious but does pandora have a cache file on your sdcard? I had an app that was reading and writting to a cache on my sdcard and it would slow my phone down a lot. When your phone slows try ditching some of your apps and see if maybe one could be responsible for it, if it is there are tons of options different apps that do the same thing.
Since I bought my Samsung Galaxy S anytime I open a app when I exit out of it (with the back button or the exit option on the application) when I get back to the home screen all of my icons and widgets are gone for a few moments. I assumed that this was just lag and they always came back.
I just recently rooted and loaded the ICBINB k2 ROM and love it and the lag with the icons and widgets has improved greatly. Instead of taking 3-4 minutes for them to come back it now only takes about 1 to 2 minutes.
Is there a ROM or something that has been made that gets rid of this problem totally?
I searched the forums for the answer before I posted but, unfortunately, I did not come up with an answer (I am very sorry if I missed the post where someone has asked and answered this question already.)
Any help would be greatly appreciated! I love my phone and this is the only bug that it really has that drives me batty.

I would personally do a wipe back to kc1 and begin flashing from there and make sure ext4 is enabled. You can view my step by step on properly flashing Gbread ROM by looking in my signature or viewing the stickied thread in this subforum.

It could be a memory issue with your launcher. What launcher are you using right now, and how much free internal space do you have? If you don't have much, the OS might kill your launcher, resulting in a "reboot" of your launcher. If so, try switching launchers or check the Keep In Memory option if you have one.

I have over 300 megs of memory available out of the 500 megs on the phone. (That is the one thing that I am disappointed about on this phone is the internal memory. I keep everything I can on the SD card though so it is not too big of a deal.)
Thanks so much! I changed launchers and now the lag is gone 99 percent. If it does lag all I have to do is push the home button or contacts button and it goes away. I am extremely happy now!
No problem man! I'm not super tech savvy but i try my best to help.
Yeah you were probably using the,default samsung touchwiz which is,realky lame..I would recommend launcher pro

Hello everybody.
first of all i just want to mention that im really happy with the phone, especially after moving from galaxy s3 with its horrendous memory tasker and RAM.
ive noticed a problem thats been really bothering me:
after a day of use , maybe more, there seems to be a lot less memory available for the device, resulting in chrome/chrome beta reloading every time that i go back to it, even without performing any actions or loading new apps - simply moving to whatsapp for example and back to chrome - Bang! the browser reloads. I want to emphasize that this is not the normal behavior for chrome, as this does not occur after a fresh restart.
When i go to services running, there is about 800mb of ram left, but when i go to ES task manager, there is only 400mb, i dunno the cause for this difference, but i do know that despite disliking task managers very much , Pressing "Kill ALL" will restore the desired behavior for a while (no reloads).
I tried to root the phone and install Greenify , but this doesnt seem to be helping.
did anyone notice any similar behavior? thanks.
In my experience, chrome and chrome beta are huge memory hogs and refresh quite often no matter what. For that reason, I stay away from it and stick with the aosp browser. It's fast and light.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk
i understand what you're saying - but im referring to the data displayed by es task manager (having a lot less memory than reported) and also to the fact that after a reboot , or closing all task, the phone does have enough memory to come back to chrome without reloading it .
notice im not complaining about the memory used by chrome, also having more than 500MB of RAM left should be enough anyway no?
also - as far as i know AOSP browser is no longer supported, no?
I've also experienced this on my N5. Sometimes when switching away from chrome and then back again, even briefly, will cause the web page to refresh. This is extremely annoying especially when you're on a internet banking page which will require you to re-login.

this is exactly what im experiencing.
however, since it doesnt happen after restart or killing all apps, it is somehow memory related, but with having 800mb free, i dont really understand the issue :/
Surely the Android devs at google use internet banking, hopefully a fix arrives soon...!
I nerfed chrome as its so messed I cant even use it also drains batter like no tommarow it was always reloading for me to I went to opera it has working word wrap and way less draw on batter.
This has anyways happened to me. Since gal nexus, n4, n5, and n7. /shrug. Maybe it's a nexus thing? I thought this happened on all devices with chrome.

I've had S4 and N4 and it certainly doesn't happen, at least not from switching away from chrome and back again within a few seconds. But those devices were on Android 4.3.

It happens on galaxy s3 but that device has 1gb of memory with only 100mb or less available usually . nexus 5 even at its worst state has more than 500MB, so it def. shouldnt happen.
After side loading the 4.4.1 update (got tired of waiting for the ota) the chrome reloading seems to be fixed! I've only done brief testing but it looks promising.
Hi all, I did a search with no luck, so hopefully this is a valid question!
I have a weird problem with my moto G3 2015 and was hoping you guys wouldn't mind reading about and possibly offering some kind of advice if it's not too much trouble.
Every so often, I'd say at least once a day, the screen becomes unusable until I press the power button a couple of times (to turn the screen off and on again). Even when I do this quick fix, the problem comes back very shortly afterwards. It only goes away after 10 minutes or so, or if I get annoyed and put my phone away. I thought this was a hardware issue but don't believe that now due to the following:
1. It is a different problem depending on the app I am using. In facebook, scrolling is no longer smooth, and doesn't continue scrolling if I flick down the feed. It only scrolls down while my finger is actually on the screen. I am also unable to actually 'click' on anything, only scroll. In Brave (my browser) it acts as if I've just double tapped the screen, as in if I move my finger down it zooms in, and if up then it zooms out. In snapchat when watching a friend's story it acts as if I've held down on the screen in order to forward their snap to somebody else, and then it doesn't respond at all to any touch.
2. The 3 buttons at the bottom are always functional no matter what
3. If the problem begins when I'm in an app, if I go to my home screen, I am able to navigate my home screen and app drawer with no problems. It's as if the problem is contained within the apps.
This started a few months ago while I was running the copy of android that the phone came with. I put on lineage OS (lineage-14.1-20170629-nightly-osprey-signed) and pico gapps (open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20170629). This seemed to fix the problem for a while but then it started again a week or so in.
The fact that the problem is only happening while I am in the apps, and disappears when I exit out of them makes me think it can't be a hardware issue? I am also no expert with phones or android, but am somewhat experienced in rooting and playing with settings etc. (I'm not sure if it happens in other apps I'm afraid, I can test if need be next time it happens).
Thanks so much for any help, and please let me know if there is any more info I can give you!
P.s. The new ROM is much better than the old one.! The battery definitely drains faster though, but that's a whole other problem

That is actually typical behavior on older devices using as many social media apps as you're using. Especially Facebook and Messenger if you're also using it.
Have you tried booting to recovery and wiping cache when this happens?

When I flashed lineage OS I believe I wiped the cache. I will do it again though to see if it helps.

Hi there
If the issue was software related, a change of rom should have solved it.
If the issue is kernel related, all users must face the same issue...but that is still not the case.
So This might be an issue with the screen being old. When the power consumption fluctuates, lcd screens can misbehave.
