Hi,
last week i made the 2.1 update on my non rooted Hero.
After that, my device start lagging when i try to go in the Phone application, it's take up to 4 seconds to open it and up to 10 second to show me the contacts list.
Also the Voice Search it's lagging a lot, and must software take long time to start.
Someboby know if there's something wrong on the update? Anyone else have the same problem?
Ofc you arent alone. Many experience lagging... Even in just in scrolling between screens or apps. I wrote to HTC. A nice lady from HTC told me to backup my phone (with an non existing backup in hero...) and to do factory reset. Ofc it didnt help .
Try to close all apps and services you dont need and open the phone again. My hero 2.1 was before the factory reset without a task manager not usable ...
The 2.1 update sucks in general. Apps/widgests/settings missing and speed is much worse.
Some ppl are saying its faster but they probably didnt had it fast on 1.5 anyway

Also my girlfriend is annoyed about that.
Do you think that with not original rom, i mean one of the rooted, the speed can improve?
Well from I hear from that side, yeah.. But since I have my hero still in warranty I wont go that way. And I am not sure how stable those custom roms are . But for that there is many threads here I presume. Have you tried a task manager with killing all non essentials? If it wont help do the factory reset. AND ofc contact HTC!

Yes, it's helping a bit, but i think that is not a solution. I can't kill all the process before make a call, and when i've to answer? how i can kill if the phone it's close to hibernation?
Ofc its not an solution. Thats why contact HTC and write them. As I did and as it didnt help a bit . But keep them spamming maybe they will do soemthing (probably add us to spamfilter)
And actually for that close the hibernation there are many apps that can help you . advanced task manager or taskiller. Am not much of a fan of those I use only system panel. But I kinda meant only to kill those apps you dont need. Like maps/games you wont play/ maybe twitter or facebook or what you dont actually use or need.
Btw after I installed the update to 2.1 I had some few strange processes and services from HTC running that I dotn have after teh factory reset.

I usually use Taskiller, but can not do miracles.
This afternoon i'll perform a factory reset, and hope that can solve something

i have been using the htc g1 for several months now and have noticed that its performance is not as good as it used 2 be. by this i mean the interface is very slow now and in performing small tasks it tends to lag frequently. my phone is updated to cupcake 1.5. i am wondering if any if you can suggest ways to improve the functionality of my phone for example, by installing a different firmware. i have tried deleting several of my apps from the market but that only improved the situation slightly. thanks

Do you have root? if so,then just upgrade to Cyanogen's latest build his are much faster then the stock firmware. Also, rather then randomly deleting apps, have you tried any of the task managers? There are apps that run constantly in the background, enough of them at once will slow your phone down big time. Do you have a lot of widgets, apps or folders on your home screen? Too many and it bogs down your home screen.
yes i do have a task manager and i only seems to help slight. i do have apps on my home screen but not so much only about 3 pages worth and i think the phone should be able to handle that. my phone is not rooted. how do i get the firmware u are talking about. more info would be great.
A fresh wipe would make it VERY fast. Uninstalling apps and such from stock firmware doesn't really help... well, it didnt atleast for me

Goto each one on the list and it will have a button that says Clear Cache and Clear Data. Tap both of those and after doing them all you should be fine. It might take awhile to do them all but it will fix your problem.
If i sometimes try and open a 3rd party app or even some 1st party ones like Gmail, i get into a force stop loop. (app then android, app than android) that i can't get out of unless i take out the battery. This happens ALOT! never experienced this before the mandatory bs update!
Anyone got any suggestions on how to fix, will a factory reset do anything?
ive been getting FC on my gmail and email app
odd, but would you expect less from a rogers update?

Task managers??
Hey, I found that happening to me on this new update ROM and another i was running before if I was using "Free Advanced task manager"
It would work great for a while, then start force closing.
Just restarted phone, by removing batter because the FC's were so constant, and then downloaded another app for that duty. Running fast and smooth now.
Hope this is your issue and not something more.
Force close...
I recently ran into another issue where having the full page weather widget would send the system into instant FC as soon as it tried to load the weather...
Honestly I'm still not sure what the problem was there but I ended up just switching "scenes" and it worked fine on another scene.
Simple but odd...
havent had any f/c since the update but the rogers rom SUX big time, my phone is slow as hell, no voice dialer and to be honest i dont really like sense UI very much
kicking myself for giving up root access for this lousy "update"
If the Rogers ROM is slow on your phone, there is indeed something wrong because it actually is very fast. It's the same as the HTC EU 3.05 update, the Rogers version just has a few Rogers apks added. I have tried the EU 3.05, the Rogers 3.05 and Cursorsense and I honestly couldn't tell which one was the fastest (Cursorsense maybe but it's so close that it's almost unnoticeable)
My guess about those speed problems and FC is that the old data is messing things up... I'd make a backup of my stuff and try to wipe the data (and as you don't have root : settings->sdcard and memory->factory reset should give the same result). If it doesn't help I'd then try to reinstall the update.
if u are using a taskkiller on your phone, make sure its not killing any of the tasks that are required for the rom to run, e.g HTC checkin Service, if the taskiller is killing the required services, it can lead to alot of random force closes
hey guys
here is mine prob(s)
i tried to update my phone today even tho SE updater said i had the latest software,
After all that no update... so im still on 16, so i had to reinstall al my settings manuelly, even tho i backed it all up it never kept wot i wanted, any way after putting wot i had back on come to copy my contacts over and the prob im having is it keeps duplicating all my contacts 2 or 3 times and i cant work out why its doing it, and also to top it off its gone so slow and laggy its unreal, had no probs with it before,
the only apps i hav is
atk
adw launcher
and all my timescape accounts set up,
please can anyone help with this annoying problem
many thanks for any help
Aaron
I'm guessin the duplicates are showing due to auto sync, maybe also another backup copy on your sd card or se sync?
go to settings, data synchronisation, click google (if its greyed out then choose select sync app n pick google), then untick auto sync, u can leave background data as that's used for market)
Perhaps delete all ya contacts after n maybe restore a copy of them from your sd card (if u hav a copy stored there)
Hope it helpz!!
P.s - maybe before trying to install everything back you should try the repair function of seus/pc companion, as many people have reported to gettin the latest firmware from it somehow!!

Well I'm not sure what you're using to back up your contacts, but some apps will restore your contacts and if you happen to restore again, the contacts will duplicate. Another case would be that you've backed up your contacts, then restored them, and you happen to have a google account set up on your phone. Google sync will upload your contacts and therefore causing you to have duplicates, or even triplicates in your case.
What I would suggest is go to your gmail account (if you don't have one, then I suggest you do because it's awesome), then click contacts and organize your contacts there. There is an option for you to merge duplicates or triplicates on that page. ***This is on your computer browser, not on your x10***
Next time you format your phone, simply enter your gmail info on your x10 and your contacts will sync automatically.
In regards to the speed, I suggest doing a clean wipe and seriously consider rooting your phone. Depending on your social needs with the phone, you may need your phone to run at a higher speed and you can tweak that on a rooted phone.
hey guys cheers for the replys,
I had a look into wot you both suggested, i was sync-ing to SE so i switched it to google and seems to hav done the trick, phone seems to picked up its pace a bit now ( think maybe cos off the whole duplicating contacts ) i hav considered rooting but little nervous off doing it,
cheers guys for the help and advise, hav u got and tips, advise on rooting, how easy/hard is it to do, yes im bit off a nebie to all this kinda thing

Honestly, the first time I did root... it took me 8 hours lol, and I didn't even do it correctly. Now I've rooted the phone about 5 times now and i think it is very simple now. There are many tutorials in the developers thread that you could follow. Don't be afraid of trying new things, sometimes you have to take risks.
I really do suggest rooting though.
i really am coming round to the idea off rooting, im fairly confidant on the computer, jus more concered but and damage on the phone as i cost me as it wasnt a contract upgrade, so not worried about warranty jus dont wanna bugger the phone up
To be honest I've done it loadsa times.. I've found it easy since more or less beginning. to be honest the first ever time I thought I messed my phone but always was a work around. you shouldnt really have a problem cause you can keep flashing til you get it right.. but its all upto you!! I much prefer my phone rooted, more things to do, better backup apps, and I don't have to see none of that Se crap lol

Cheers bud, I'm gonna hav a good read up onit this week and perhaps hav a go in the week, if I can still plug up and restore if all goes wrong then it got to be worth a go, and from wot iv read so far, it really does seem the way forward, cheers again for ur help fella, nice to see there ppl out there willing to give up a bit off time to help someone out

Hey guys, just a quick question to see if anyone else is experience the home screen reload that is infamous with Sense on older phones like G1/Magic etc.
I've had the magic since it came out and upgraded to DHD, but have recently been having the same issues, where the home screen reloads, get the big HTC white with green.
Any certain apps to help with this? or perhaps that are causing this?
Appreciate your response
Hmm yes I get this too sometimes. But it only ever happens when I'm either listening to music for hours or have changed some setting in the phone, I don't think there is a fix to be honest but I could be wrong. Maybe gingerbread will fix this ?

This happens to me too, but it only happens when i 'mistreat' my phone. i.e. when i open an app,and be4 its finished opening i press the home button ... or something like that
i think this htc screen comes because maybe an error occurred with the sense UI or something and thats their way of handling the error.
i personally dont think its a problem, rather a solution to a problem, so dont be scared.
fyi: no one told me this, it just makes sense to me, since it only happens when i mistreat my phone....maybe they made a different way to handle this with their new Sense UI: 3.0.
im so hyper about it!!, and im hoping that it'll come with the new update!!!!
It happens to me as well but my home screen reloads when I kills some apps

Quick question, do you all have "Spare Parts" installed?
spare parts?
Yes, spare parts. If Activity/Process Management is set to aggresive it will produce the same issue your post is describing.
I remembered a similar issue a while ago, read through THIS thread (11 posts) and let me know if the screenshot looks similar.
Those with this problem, try uninstall the Flash 10.2 update, reboot your phone and see if its solved.
Not enough RAM can lead to reboot of sense UI?

No, the DHD has plenty of RAM. Its a badly configured task killer.
it happens to me sometimes though I haven't chose anything in spare parts (it shows empty normal and aggressive check box) and I don't have any task killer (well I have a program called ZDbox which has the ability to kill apps you select) and when it happens it doesn't stop unless you restart your phone.I think a certain app is causing this but I don't know which

A few weeks ago i had this problem with Flash 10.2. There was a memory leak and as a result android was killing all apps and even killed Sense as a result of Flash taking up more and more ram. So Flash 10.2 might be the culprit here. Check to see which version you have and uninstall the update.
so when you went back to 10.1,the issue was gone?

Hi Everyone,
I have big problem which is i cannot close apps. When im done with app i cant close them. I push back button, but it just send app to background. So it is still working and draining battery all the time.
I have same problem with every app. I have Advanced Task Killer Pro but i dont want to use it all the time. It is ridiculous.
And some apps are restart after i close them with Advanced TK Pro. Like Letsgolf,postcard.. I dont want those. I will uninstall them if i can..
I need to close apps when im done with app and uninstall some other apps. Is there any solution for that ? Because it is really annoying and big problem. Simply draining battery..
Thank you for reading.
Best regards.
Are you new to android? You dont have to close every app like lets say symbian or windows mobile, only worry about closing certain games or apps that keep using data frequently, read up on android if this is your first device, anyway If you feel uncomftorble use task killer to stop all or whatever apps you want, not everything will close though, its just the way android works, youre fine.
Where is the problem with the Arc...?
You're referring to the normal behavior of the Android OS. This is normal. If you're not getting over 40 hours of battery life with regular use, you may have downloaded some strange applications.

Haha. Just trying to set the record straight, tis all.
I thought it was an April fools joke that was a little late
So where is the "BIG" problem with the ARC? What a lame and misleading title! Go read up on Android OS and how it behaves first before freaking out!
It's not about ARC i know that. But i just want to tell my phone is ARC,whatever. I used Linux and i know how it works. But when it comes to phone. Things change. Gallery,Camera,Google Maps,Browser.. When you start apps like that. If you cant close them they are draining battery in background also using RAM for nothing. And it is something that i cant deny.
And think about you didnt restart your phone like 2-3 days. And apps you start never close and working in background. It is a PROBLEM need to solution. Thats not nothing.
Thanks for comments.

I'm new to Android and interested to know more about this kind of behavior too.
so do you mean that app will close after a while ...?
can somebody tell me more about it ..?
If you are using MODs like MIUI or CM. you can close apps with Push Back button a bit. They resolve that problem.
But in Original Android 2.3.2. you cant close apps except Apps which have Exit button itself. It is simply absurd, i think anyway.
I get it. This is how linux work. But we are using it in Smartphone. Which means we have Battery. If i cant close big apps like Google Maps etc. its gonna keep draining battery background.

Do you really think the developers of the android OS didnt think of this?
Theyre not draining battery in the background. Theyre idle. Theyre not doing anything. At all. Think of it like a solid state mp3 player, you used to see people posting on forums panicking that there isnt a stop button, just a pause button, like pausing it will wear out the mp3 file or something. They just dont understand that technology has moved on. The same thing has happened here: android isnt windows (although most windows apps dont eat any power when theyre minimised either, theyre idle, waiting for user input).
Also: they arent wasting memory. If the memory is needed for soemthing else, the android OS frees it up by closing (i.e. unloading) the idle app, but only when it's needed. No point in freeing it up too early, because you may wish to switch back to (i.e. unpausing) the app. This is more efficient.
There are *some* apps (e.g. music player, gps location tracker app) which will continue to run in the background, and yes this will drain battery, but these apps will have the ability to start/stop their services (e.g. pause music, stop tracking gps), and/or exit completely. If there is an app somewhere which continuously runs and doesnt give you a way to pause/exit then it's a very badly programmed app and you should uninstall it, but i dont know what those apps may be, because i cant think of one.
In summary, stop complaining about something like it's the end of the world if you dont have a clue what youre talking about.
Oh finally.
A man who knows what he is talking about. Thanks god.
And thank you. I really learned something from your post.
İ tried and see many combination about it. It is not a big problem for me i just want to learn why it is like that. And i thought it is drain battery..
Okay some apps like Lets Golf or post card doesnt using battery even if they seems like running. But what about Internet Browser ? I cant even close it with one click. I use back button for close. And when i push it it go back first. Simply, i need to come back first page i loaded for close browser. Even i get there and push back. It is still running ( yes running, i can see it in battery options and using battery %2-5). And google maps is same thing. Even i push back and disappear them they keep running and using battery (%3-6 for it ). What can i do for it ?
I'm not complaining about it that much. I really like my telephone and android. I just want to learn something and if this is a problem i want to resolve it thats all.
Anyway, thank you again for your useful answer.
Best regards.
well i think its not a real problem
btw thxxx for ppl who help us
