So I bought this phone a couple months ago, performance the first couple days was great, and then it started lagging. It can get really terrible, I get freezes so long that I have to reboot the phone, Spotify crashes sometimes, apps reload constantly, Messenger chat heads completely freeze the phone, opening the camera can crash everything else, a bunch of stuttery scrolling... I (sadly) have the 1 GB model, only after buying it did I discover my country only has 1 GB no matter if you buy the 8 GB or 16 GB version. This performance doesn't go in line with what I've heard from the phone, and in addition to that, battery life is pretty subpar, at the most I get 3.5-4h of SOT just using Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Tumblr, WhatsApp, and the like. I tried factory resetting once and it didn't help (it did, though, reinstall all apps again, so if one app is the culprit, it makes sense that I wouldn't see any changes). I even disabled Xposed to see if that was it, and installed the Squid Kernel and tweaked a couple of things, but nothing happened. Help would be greatly appreciated, as using this phone is a pain.

Just backup your apps (for example using titanium backup) and try others stock rom, which are optimized, like : Stock Motorola rom optimized (works on my xt1541) or Barthmallow.

Greetings,
I have an unrooted Thunderbolt running launcher pro. When I exit applications, often there is a significant delay in loading up the home screens. Sometimes it happens so often that the device becomes paralyzed for 15 or more seconds before my home screen along with apps pop in.
What are the reasons for this? I have tons of apps, many of which have not been moved to the SD card.
I have tried going back to sense, but the problem persists making me think it isn't a launcher related issue.
Thoughts?
so i get a better picture of whats happening
1. when you first installed launcher pro did it have this lag or did it happen latter.
2. by going back to sense do you mean uninstalling all of launcher pro.
3.- strange question i know but - have you completely powered off the device recently, by that i mean power off like normal and pull the battery then just let it sit for like 10 minuets.
Thanks for your prompt reply.
The problem persists even after taking battery out and restarting.
I did not uninstall launcherpro, I just switched temporarily back to sense to see if I could replicate the problem, and I did.
The problem seems to be getting worse as time goes on, the reason I think it may have to do with adding all of these free apps of the day from amazon.
When I initially installed launcher pro, I never had the problem.
I also seem to be having random reboots several times a day.

i think whats happening is your RAM running low on memory, sense uses a lot of RAM like 300+ Megs and you can't stop it unless you root.(not trying to peer pressure you or anything). but for the time being i suggest to go into settings/apps/running and see if you have apps running in the background that take a lot of memory space. and force stop the ones you don't use that often.
and as for the reboots could you check the baseband version in the about phone part of settings?
Hey guys,
I have my Nexus S (9023 variant) for some good 4 months now and I'm still quite happy with it!
Running unrooted stock 2.3.4 version.
However, I seem to feel like the phone is getting a bit jerkier / sluggish than it used to be before. I've noticed an increase in battery consumption of the Android OS process (not the system one) as opposed to before (like in a 100%-0% charge, it used to be 1-2 minutes, now it can go up to 10 mins time usage).. Sometimes going from one app to the other seems to have a noticeable lag. Sometimes the Google Music player is just slow to start playing... sometimes even the swiping of the home screens dies.
Also I used to have 2 days battery life and now some 1.5 days (which forces me to charge every night).
I would suspect than an increase on the Androis OS process would mean an increase in internal task switching.
How can one alleviate the problem ? Is there a way to sort of "cleanup" the system ? Does it degrade over time needing a factory reset or something ? I have some applications installed (some of them I hardly use though) but I suspect that even though those optimizations have their notifications disabled, they can be reacting to some kind of low-level OS events..
Anyway thanks for any thoughts guys!
What ROM are you running? And I would suspect that apps are the main problem if it persists after a reboot.
Stock 2.3.4, unrooted
Guess it's on to uninstall some apps then
Factory reset would solve all your problems I assume. Pity you are not rooted so you can back up your ROM.
I'm actually thinking of rooting soon, because I made some video recordings in a concert and they were plain horrible (distorted). So I might try to install a kernel with voodoo.
I guess I can always manually backup for once...
I have the google services backup activated... doesn't it mean that I can restore all my apps after a factory reset ?
https://market.android.com/details?id=tw.nicky.CleanCache
You can use that to clean up your caches. I suspect a lot of programs installed or one or a few that are pulling your performance down. You could go about this in a few different ways. One is to uninstall everything you've downloaded from the market. That should give you a boost. Or you can start uninstalling programs one at a time until you see your performance increase then that's your culprit. Another idea is to delete all your SMS, MMS, and voicemail. I've seen people with hundreds of texts that after deleting them, notice an improvement.
A cache and dalvic cache wipe would help speed things up. Hopefully that market app above can do both. Normally done through a custom recovery.

Nice ideas guys!!
Think I will try to install titanium backup and backup my apps. And since I'm on it, I will also root my phone and install the net archy kernel cause the last time I took my phone to a concert I ended up with 1 hour of unusable footage due to sound issues.
My stock ROM crashes (or auto-reboots) every 9 days 9 hrs 30min like a clock.
It happened for at least third time in a row, or most likely it is going on like this all the time because I only noticed this odd behavior when I installed a little "uptime" app. After 3 times obviously that's not coincidence, something is causing my phone to crash or reboot every 9d 9hrs 30min.
Has anyone else notice or had same problem?
Stock rom, locked/unrooted, with stock apps and very few extra apps installed, after previous crash I removed almost everything I had installed in the past, I kept only AirDroid, ColReader, Google Drive, File Manager, Mobo player, Skype, SPB TV, TeamViewer - nothing else, yet it still crashed. I can't figure out is it ROM or any of the apps.
edit - perhaps I should have posted in ROM development... Moderator, please move it?
I wish I could help but I've never been able to stay on the stock ROM for that long.
But....no, you've posted in the right place. Put it in developement and it'll get moved to HERE.
There's a TMobile app on there that monitors the days until suggested reboot (7 days) and will then proceed to "warn" you consistently when you're over that period. It is possible that this app is clashing with one of your other apps or doing something in the phone - maybe using too much memory? /shrug
My phone does the exact same thing after a week but it doesn't reboot, it just randomly "soft-crashes" after I hit the back or home key while playing a game or backing out of dialer, apps, etc.
It's extremely annoying and happens whether I have few apps or my normal stock of apps; the only time it doesn't happen at all is after a factory reset (if I don't update anything).
The only thing I can do to stop it is to reboot the phone, as suggested on the 7th day...as soon as I see that notification, I reboot and so far so good.
Good Luck.
Question:
I have had ARHD 3.6 for a few weeks now. I did a complete factory reset before switching to it.. ARHD is a great rom, and thanks and kudos to all the people who have helped bring it to fruition.
But, here's the issue: For at least a week now, my tablet is running terribly. Constantly lagging or 5-10 seconds any time I ever make a move- closing/opening an app, going into settings, even moving from one homescreen window to the next. And typically I'll have to restart it, after freezing completely, 1-2 times a day on average.
Also, nearly every web browser is constantly lagging, or even freezing or force closing, with chrome being almost unuseable. Almost every single time I open up gmail app, it will work for 10-15 seconds before the tablet just straight up freezes and I have to restart it.
I was using the stock ARHD kernel at first, but I switched over to Harmony kernel a few days ago... no improvement.
Are there any suggestions for how to improve this, or any suggestions for a different rom to switch to?
I have a lot of free space on my tablet, I don't have many apps running in the background, and i've already tried wiping the cache in CW Recovery.This is seriously driving me crazy.
Thanks much for the help! And thanks to those who work on all of these roms.

I have had similar issues with my Transformer in the past. Then, I discovered the hard way (after deleting everything... I mean everything) that going back to stock, rooting again, and then flashing Team EOS that my Transformer became better than new. You may not want to go back to stock again, which is ok, so I would recommend the usual wipes and then flash Team EOS ROM and the Kat Kernel. I have found that Apex, Nova, or even Next Launcher to make a difference as well.
just a question about your latency: do you have it with power cable connected only or every times ?
Envoyé depuis ma TF101G-B80 with Revolution HD 4.0 (3.6g release) by Mike _1986
I agree with the suggestion for Team EOS 4, I feel like my tab performs better than when I bought it two years ago.
Lately my Nexus 5 has been having some issues. I first started noticing this when I'd get artifacts popping up while on chrome. Then during reboot, play services would crash, and sometimes the launcher would refuse to start. Then other apps like Hangouts would refuse to let me view messages without a app crash. Even 3rd party apps have crashed on me.
I've done a full wipe and put stock 4.4.2, three different times now and within a day I get the same symptoms all over again.
This has been going on for over a week, I have absolutely no idea what to do now.
Any ideas? Is perhaps the storage bad? Any way to test it? Or what should I do.
Thanks
Flash clean stock and don't install a single app for those few days and see what happens.
If nothing, install just a few apps at a time per day. If it suddenly starts....you'll know its one of the few apps you just installed.
That's all I got. Lol

Are you flashing a custom kernel with it? Are you undervolting at all, running art? I specifically ask for undervolting, cause that will cause things to crash | reboot.
No, no custom kernel. Everything I got was from googles factory image site. https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/hammerhead-kot49h-factory-02006b99.tgz
And I've never undervolted before. I could root and perhaps increase the clock speed. Also not running ART. I did a few months ago, but switched back.

Well aside from rooting, best you can do is force stop all those apps, particularly the ones that are crashing specifically, then clear those caches from the menu. After you've done all your problem apps, reboot.
If he did a full wipe and installed a fresh stock image....caches aren't the issue. Its probably one app wreaking havoc. Lol
