My Touch became progressively slow to the point where it hardley runs and storage mem is down to .04MB for some reason. Without installing anyting or making any huge changes to the phone what sort of things can cause it to suddenly become slow? I'm hoping there is a quick fix so I don't have to perform a hardboot. I noticed that the mxip_notify file is about 4.5MB but maybe this is normal. Here is what I am also noticing:
- mxip_notify file 4.5MB
- clock on HTC home screen doesn't change
- softboot does not improve performance
- low memory warning message constantly pops up informing me that I need
to free some memory.
This is the original ROM.
Thanks in advance.
In my experience is that you need to do a hard reset, I know its a hastle, but it helps speed it up loads.
my touch used to run out of memory as well, then i connected it to my pc, and browsed to computer\htc touch\application data\info feed\cache and cleared all the data that was there, it freed about 6 MB, also cleared the feeds folder, and freed another 2 MBs, the performance seems to have improved and i no longer get the out of memory error. i dont know if this is the culprit in ur case, but it worked for me, so u can give that a try . or try opening each and every folder in ur Touch through windows and see what files are taking lots of space. also i recently installed Home Screen ++ with which OCd my processor to 266MHz and in certain apps the performence boost is amazing. u can try that as well.
I was really hoping I would not have to hard reset my Touch since installing applications can be a pain and I have a lot of SMSs I would not like to loose. I have seen applications out there that back up SMSs and allow you to restore the SMSs back on the phone but I am not confident it will work.
And while hard resetting will solve the problem, it does not ultimately answer why my Touch suddenly ran out of space.
I'm wondering what the size of most user's mxip_notify file is.
hi,
i have just used jf updater to update to 1.51 (both the radio and the rom) the update process went smooth with no errors....
however after the restart many applications crash and force close including core applications such as acore, gmail, gm, ... etc
the phone does not seem to be stable anymore, it does not sync often.
any help?
had the same problem today... i just reformatted, re-rooted, and reflashed everything. all solutions ended no where. so hopefully someone has a better solution here.
just try a backup then wipe and see if it fixes it
same here, i also did apps2sd at the same time, and i thought apps2sd was the reason for the **** up, so i just wiped and now apps are running from my phone and everyhthing seems to work normally. i'm still not sure what caused it...
going through the whole rooting and apps2sd process all over again????
same here crash, crash, crash.. lol apps to sd 1.51 doing a wipe now ugh
If it helps anyone here, I recently upgraded fine from RC33 to 1.51 HOWEVER I did NOT use app2sd program. I did mine originally using Lucids script method. Which on RC33 was a script that would copy the data and then the cache over to the SD. Then after I upgraded to 1.51 everything worked fine and normal, no hassle.
So my suggestion is this, have EVERYTHING run off the phones memory, Then use lucids script, a alternate way to apps on sd. Then see if everything works fine after you moved it over, also turn on usb debugging, fixed my apps that needed root access.
im also having the same problem after updating to jf 1.5.1 can anyone confirm if they are still having probs after wiping and using apps to sd? did using lucids script instead work? i just dont wanna go through the hassle of wiping and not know which one to use so my apps can stop randomly force closing.
It seems that you all are upgrading from an old version of a2sd to a newer better version of a2sd, many apps don't work correctly unless they are reinstalled when you changed builds due to them not being registered correctly
I would reccomend backing up your apps and then wiping your system/sd folder before you flash to a major upgraded build.
wipe then update then wipe again.
Then boot into your new updated build. Install a few apps then use you prefered a2sd method and verify with the a2sp apk located in the development section that everything worked right.
If the a2sd apk says that tou need to prepare your card for a2sd, you may noy done it right. However if you use lucidrems method, itmay not be compatable.
Check the system/app folder and see what's in it Same with data/app. If the few programs you installed are not there then yay your a2sd is working check system/sd/app to verify.
Ill help out when I can, pm me or ask your questions here. Ill be monitoring this thread.
Good luck
I wiped my phone and installed everything again...everthing was fine until I rebooted my phone and upon start up toggle settings force closed and open home aswell. Same problem I had before....so far nothing else has attempted to force close but I'm guessing I didn't solve the problem and await for it to start crashing like it did before. Sorry I'm still new at this stuff so bare with me...
Toggle settings WILL crash, You need to uninstall that one and redownload the "Cupcake" version of it. That will fix that one.
Now that your 1.51 You need apps that work with cupcake. =)
I do have. The cupcake version....all my apps rondomly just keep crashing....I either hit wait or just force close it
I have also been experiencing force closing issues. The weird part is that I dont have the apps to sd installed on my phone. My phone lags sooo much now, especially in the market and even worse in the browser. Sometimes I wait up to 50 seconds before the browser starts up. Everything is just blank for the time. I get force closes randomly for maps, IM, browser and cupcake toggle settings before I uninstalled. Also, when I exit anything with my home button, it goes to my homescreen but takes a good 10-15 seconds to load my apps on the screen. It just freezes.
Since I've had the phone, Ive already wiped 5 or 6 times. I am so over wiping and reinstalling all my apps and putting everything where I like it. Anyone have any ideas? Please???
AH! That issue I know about, I just recently upgraded from my 2 GB Kingston to a 4GB Sandisk. The Sandisk seems to be a faster card. I know the kingston was a slower one, which lagged behind giving me ALOT of the wait/force close ones. This was due to the speed of the memory card kinda choking out I would say. I always hit wait which did the trick. But when I had alot going on, lag sucked. I dont get it very often now, which says the SD is faster. But this might be the cause of your issues too?

Is anyone else having this issue? I'm going crazy with all of the crashing and waiting. Sorry to be impatient.
Like I said, I did till I changed out my SD card.

I forgot to mention that I have a 8gb 6 class already in place.
I also have an 8gig class 6 card so that can't be it.
so, iam still having force close issues on many applications. also it seems that the phone is very slow now.
any thoughts?
I've had my HTC Aria for about 2 weeks now and I have constantly been switching between Liberated and CM roms trying to solve my problem. I'm experiencing trouble with mainly GPS apps or any apps that require downloading to SD. I've switched between CoPilot and Sygic because of this. GPS apps once installed and set up (added favourites,edited settings, etc), keep reverting back to its initial state when you first install it (where it asks to activate, etc) and apps that download keep downloading those files over and over again even if it says its completed. Any idea what could be causing this problem? It's quite annoying especially with GPS apps not saving my favourites.
I was having the same problems until I realized its because I was moving the apps to SD. Try moving them back to the phone. It worked for me. This doesnt happen with all my apps, but the ones it did happen to I moved back to the phone and all these problems went away.
I'm not too sure if I can do that (or know how to). I havn't touched moving apps yet. and my SD card doesn't have ext2/3 for a2sd to be activated. =\
Don'y know if anyone observed this or not:
My N1 with a2sd enabled consumes more power than without. This shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone as need to access SD requires additional power.
Anyone observed similar pattern with a2sd?
What does it have to do with app2sd?
That just points out what applications you can move to the sd-card.
You can do that without app2sd too...
Mod edit: Let's keep it friendly here, guys.
LOL I have not notice but I have notice a crazy lag to load icon stored on the sd card maybe I need a better class. I been doing ok on battery so far down clocking to 700mhz and flashing it to MIUI but I wouldn't doubt my app2sd drains battery since is probably always scanning to free cache.
Let's keep it friendly in here, guys.
Personally I haven't noticed any battery drain with the Froyo / Gingerbread Apps 2 SD / Apps 2 USB Storage. While that's a little different than the Apps 2 EXT, but I would imagine them both to not use much power at all. Both internal memory and USB storage use NAND flash memory, and it would be reasonable to assume that they use similar amounts of power.
Spx2000, you could have some issue in your particular installation. Perhaps try wiping cache and Dalvik cache and/or do a full wipe and reinstall your ROM.
I think there is a problem with App2SD that seems to have started with an update a few weeks back. In fact, until I started reading the comments here, I had no idea that it might be the cause. My Nexus One has had extremely slow performance and a slow battery constantly for the last month or so. It all started at once. It was around the same time as the 2.2.2 upgrade, but I swore it started a little earlier. Today I went and turned off the option to check downloaded apps in Apps2SD and it seems that my Nexus is back to its old form. Something must be wrong with the App2SD feature that scans downloads. It doesn't show up as the App2SD process slowing down the phone, but you see system load from processes such as init. If you have the problem, I recommend turning off the App2SD option which checks downloads to see if that eliminates the problem.
it is true that if I use the app in SDCard consume more battery?
Hello,
I've had my Samsung Galaxy S4 for a number of years, since it came out actually, but I noticed within the last month, the phone has been lagging, A LOT.
The phone lags when I try to unlock it for use. I hit the home or power button and the screen quickly flashes on and goes off. I have to let it stay for a minute before it actually catches up with itself before I can unlock it and use it. Same when I try to lock it. I hit the power button and the screen freezes for a minute, and again, catches up with itself before locks and goes black.
It lags when I'm texting as well. The screen freezes and can't type anything, and again, have to let it stay for a bit before the phone catches up with itself.
Things to note or already tried:
-Factory reset. Issues still remains
-Photos, videos, music are all on the SD card (32gigs, 5gigs left of space)
-Internal memory card has 3.9 gigs of space left.
What could be causing this issue and how can I solve it??
Thanks!
I would suggest completely wiping the phone and internal storage, and then flash your current ROM with Odin.
If the problem persists, try a custom ROM.
I also heard from somebody that Facebook Messenger's chatheads make his phone lag.

pretty much to echo what @Pwnycorn says
pull SD card for testing;
factory reset and dont install any apps, just setup wizard.
check if lag persists.
install a few apps. does it occur yet? install more, try again, repeat
you'll track it down.

I heard custom ROMs are better and pretty much rid any problems that come with the phone. I just have no idea how to do it, as one tiny mistake and your phone is a brick.
I did turn off all animations. but I noticed since I changed keyboards to the Gboard (Google Keyboard) the phone's lag time has reduced significantly.
Only time it lags is when I switch to the default Messaging app.
Asides that, it works again. Strange how a keyboard can cause all this?

It's not necessarily the keyboard, it could be a certain update that went wrong.
And TouchWiz itself is a resource hog, ask anybody and they will tell you the same, except for TouchWiz fanboys.
