[Q] desire z lag

I have used my phone for 2 days now, and occasionally will experience severe lag. Has anyone else experienced this? It's happening right now as I type, I type and have to wait a couple seconds for the letters to show up...

Install os monitor and see if init is using up all the cpu. Its a known issue at least it is on the dhd. If that is what ist causing it.
If it is that then it has beeen solved http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=826507

This issue never happened to me. You could also open terminal and type: top
This command shows processes and cpu usage and it auto refreshes. Most busy processes are on top of the list.
I think pressing Q will exit it. Its built into the os.

Try advanced task cleaner from the market.

I get lag. The worst problem is when I do this-
Go into an sms thread. Delete the entire thread. When the screen goes back to the sms list, the rotating 'wait' circle shows for about 5 seconds before refreshing the list. Happens every time. Even with 4 items in the sms view.

I havent had any lag so far... been using for a week now

HTCSense has crashed a few times for me and automatically restarted just fine, nothing lost due to this happening.
I am familiar with the typing lag because it happens on Xperia Mini Pro occasionally. Anyway, not happened on my Desire Z yet...
The only teeny-tiny lag I have noticed is when some of the widgets don't load fast, but that's due to them gathering the data from mobile/wifi. Doesn't slow down swiping left/right to other screen though.

could somebody try this on your desire z and report back - is it the same for you?

I deleted a thread.. only had maybe 8 msgs - and it was instant.

Really? what harm can it do?
I do it to close some programs (to reclaim memory) and hopefully preserve battery.

Android is designed to allocate memory to tasks being used at hand, the other tasks are sitting idle and not using any memory at all. Task killers also drain your battery faster. Its google, they wouldnt make a OS that would have to use task managers to close things.

It's not the act of deleting where there is the lag on my phone. It is when the message list tries to re-draw...

Try simply rooting.. my phone got much faster simply by using Visionary+. Also flashing to the WWE rom cut long-boot times in half (or less). I think Bell's ROM just has issues.

Yeah, CacheMate killed my father and raped my Milestone!
Kidding, you're an idiot. Memory boosters don't do any harm. LOL

Happens to me too!!! And I'm overclocking to 1 ghz already!
So I'm still lagging in menus and stuff, also have Usb debugging on as well
Edit: I'm also perm rooted s-off and overclocked and still lag during normal navigation of phone overall

The guys in the DesireHD had this same issue, and they found a fix by enabling USB debugging: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=826507
Failing that, you could always download Watchdog lite from the Market to see if it alerts a service using excessive CPU, that should point in the right direction.
I'm thinking of getting a Desire Z, so this is a little unnerving. Hope the above fixes it.

had the insane lag too, did a bunch of pm disables to remove background sync packages.
you think 5 sec is slow, i waited about 30 min to del 2k msgs
push comes to shove proabably would install the stock android messaging app.

What is the best battery app?

Im new to using android so I'm not sure on the best apps and I need a battery apparently that atleast shows numbers.

Try looking for "battery snap" in the market...its free and comes with a widget, along with some really good graphs that show how your phone is handling your battery discharge

Intermittent problem with DHD

Hey guys sometimes when leaving some apps ie. messages, or phonebook the white screen with htc will flash up and then a loading sign for a second or two its quite annoying does anyone else have this problem?

Yep, I get that from time to time too... it's as though Sense crashes and restarts automatically...
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

Anyone else having this issue?

Same on htc z and sometimes on good ol' hero. The "homescreen" crashes id say.

Yes very occasionally
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

I guess this is better than the entire device locking up, necessitating a battery pull... which I've so far not had to do in the month I've had the phone. Could argue it's good coding by htc. And hopefully future updates will minimise this issue further...?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

yeah its just the sense launcher crashing used to happen rarely on my legend to, but its easy fixed you just change to another launcher

since a couple days, same happens to me...but i dont know why. its not with a special app when i close it, its just randomly when i go back to the homescreen, but i will definately change to netfront life screen, as soon it becomes more customizable...i like the idea

not had this at all, although i did have 2 complete restarts a week ago.

i have a off-topic question. i am playing with adw.launcher and launcher pro, but how can i use the htc widgets...especially the "setting" widgets maybe the clock widgets too...any ideas?

r u guys using any automatic task killer? I am using a HD2 with DHD build but not facing this problem after i uninstall any task killer app

You can't when you use another launcher you lose all the htc widgets if I was u I would use the skins in the app section they are superb and for some strange reason my phone its quicker now but they do look better also

wich skins you talking about, htc sense skins?
btw is there a good app, which i can use to map all the "settings" functions, like airplane mode, ringtone, mobile connection on off, wifi, bt, phone profile... i found widgets but alwasy for one function, is there not a widget where in can configure all that...so idont have to download 100s of widgets

Sure, just try Quick Settings and Quick Battery (Android Market). Highly recommended.

they have really improved the power button on DHD over the Desire...Ive had my Desire button replaced already...because its not flushed and the design means that it protrudes a little out from the body slightly, feels flimsy after a few months...DHD feels much better, I think its because of the internal design...

to open screen you can use tap tap app and to close it use screen off app. in this way you can protect your power button.

Yea I used that tap tap app just brush ya finger over sensor on the top right hand corner and it works really like it personally

Hmm, I haven't used this before, but I'm liking the sound of it. There are quite a lot of apps that don't work yet on Gingerbread, I don't know of any alternatives, but it's likely the developer will eventually get an update out for Gingerbread devices

I have no problem with my power button being too flush. It works fine how it is

Hi I found 2 apps worth mentioning
1 AnyUnLock
2 ScreenOff
I use AnyLock my self to unlock the screen. Using Volum Up/Down buttons. Better than Power button I guess

Mines starting to decay also =D

Hey, i like AnyUnlock, but it seams to kill my security pattern, is there any program that lets you use the volume keys, AND makes you do your pattern?
Tap Tap App, is good, but it reduces power life
Is there anything else on the market?

Widget trouble

I am using current widget and setcpu and no matter how many of the settings I change Neither of them show the current current or processor speed. Am I missing something?
Sent from my HD2 using XDA App

But youre using the widget for current widget? On one of your home screens? Try to tab on the widget it will toggle between mva and percentage I believe

I don't think that's his problem. If I am not mistaken, the widget is not refreshing and is constantly showing him 0mA. My friend had this problem in his Sensation when I asked him to check his battery drain so I could compare mine to a native Android phone. @ The OP, have you tried manually refreshing the widget (if this is your problem) by the update now button?
EDIT: Oh, OK, so it was his problem My bad.

Man I feel like an a$$ I didn't know they had added that option and since I was using the clear widget it didn't have the arrows so I never saw them. And for some reason after a restart the setcpu is working again. Thank you all for the help I will now go face palm myself!
