wildfire lag????

Hello all
I have got a htc wildfire, but my phone has many lags when i go to all programs and scroll its lag and also i friendstream and widget, is my phone the only one that do that ?????
The phone is very nice but i hope someone can help me to get rid of the lag

Hello Knudsen,
The first i used it i had the same problem, but after 3 days the lags were almost gone. Before i had a touch hd and i've had more lags. I'm surprised how fast and stable the wildfire & android is.
I don't know why, at the moment i've around 12 apps installed.
There's just one thing which annoyes me, i miss the directional buttons from my hd keyboard.

Why's task killers bad? Shall you just leave the apps open?
Thanks

Hello Fprick
Because of the ram-managment. If you kill unused task, they will need more time to start again (mail, musikplayer, internet, etc.). The worst case could be a systemcrash. If you google around, you'll find very detailed explanations. I used it also, but it made my wildfire slower.

I use ATK and have no problems at all NONE, just don't end everything just make sure your only ending games and other apps you don't want open all the time I use it mostly for gmail as when using Market it reseeds all the gmail crap and sync when I have sync its self disabled it does this on any app that needs a gmail login I guess its just one of them functions they felt would make the lifes easyer and it does but after that I want it gone when I am done with my task, I leave things like Clock and Messages always running tho as the Message app does tack a wee longer to run if it was ended lol.

It sounds like the phone its self is faulty or the rom needs to be reinstalled, I have been using my Wildfire for sometime not and it works great no lag at all, the phone as problem with some games and thats cos its not got a dedicated greathic part from that its great phone day to day tasks are better then the desire as the sences app as been optermized where the desire version as not been.
I never seen any lag in this phone, when you donload a app just make sure it does not say its a hog but I am a app junky and download all the time still no problems.

i have a wildfire and the lag is horrible. htc sense kept crashing so i started using ADW, it doesn't crash as much but it's still really laggy at times, any way to fix it?
ps, i've been using task killer but after seeing these comments i've stopped...

you can use launcher pro or golauncher.
both verry stable and fast.
launcher pro is just a bit faster and no lags.

Do NOT use task killers! My wildfire was laggy and unstable, until I stopped using TaskPanel.

Memory leak?

Hello,
I have a new, stock ROM Aria from AT&T. With a fresh boot, i run the task killer and i have a nice 178mb of free ram. But as the day goes on it gets lower and lower, 150, 115, 80, 25 free. What is eating it up? Cache?
Thanks!

i set it to autokill on sleep, theres only 1 app running which is the advanced task killer. When you manually kill them with the widget it reports the memory usage.

It's cool, you learned something

Something i remembered, on my Archos 5 Advanced task kill reports on value and its built in task manager reports another, usually higher. Maybe this is a similar case. Ill try another piece of software.

Not a good idea to use a task killer as it'll actually wear our battery down faster. Anyways unused RAM is wasted RAM.

Idk about all that. My battery is much happier keeping apps under control that are data hungry.

depends on frequency of kill and what you are killing really

connection

Can somebody help me? I install Task Killer. When I push the killer button, My phone cannot connect to the internet anymore, so... I have to restart the phone to make a connection again.
I thought may be, I killed the connection with Task Killer. But I don't know which application can control the connection to put in whitelist. Thanks.

add timescape to the task killers ignore list

Try having the "backup and restore" task as excluded. That is probably it I think I had a similar problem when I used task panel to auto kill when screen went off, it disconnected my phone call as soon as screen turned off and caused many other problems.
Give It a try

I agree I've realised they are actually a waste of time, plus there are concerned that it may actually cause problems to the phone long-term.

Even I do respect your opinion I have to inform you that after a test I actually manage to get more battery without it. Its nice if you kill unnecessary apps once in a while but on Auto is not really helpful. I removed mine completely and I am happy from the results.

[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
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

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.

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.

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
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

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.

[Q]Task killers?

Coming from the cliq rooted with a 2.1 rom, atk was a necessity IMO.But ive hard that task killers are not needed with froyo and that it hurts more than it helps. But ive noticed that even with atk on froyo, apps aren't being killed unless I go to settings/applications/manage apps to force close myself. Ive tried just not force closing or killing apps and ive noticed it being a memory hog and decrease in performance and battery, but thats just my own personal testing.
What's your opinion on task killers and such? do I need it or am I better of without one?

I am using "advanced app killer'. A number of stock apps will restart right after, but most others will not.
I use it right after starting up, and after closing some apps (they often keep running in background). I think this is helping materially with my battery life - which is fairly good.

is a horrible thing. the second u close an app and it instantly reopens itself your cpu shoots up 100% and you end up killing more battery by doing that.

Haven't seen the need for a task killer. I run System Panel app and what I'm seeing is the majority of the apps listed are on background and not taking up CPU power at all.
If anything, once I root, I'll probably use Autostarts just to minimize the number of apps that run at startup. But right now... not even necessary.
