Do you know if you've been using rmnet builds or ppp ones?
could also be things like radio/winmo rom combo, radio/android build combo. I don't trust speedtest.net either. It seems to give higher than actual readings.
Check my sig and if you don't mind the initial setup time and having a stripped down winmo rom, try out that combination. I recommend either of the android builds there. I can confirm fast market downloads on both. Currently using the MIUI build and I get fast speeds. (MIUI is a little buggy at first, but once it settles, it's good enough to be a daily build)
I've tried the rmnet and the ppp version. The weird thing is its just the Market thats slow. Browser is super fast, and any app requiring data its super fast, just the market is slow. tried many radios but wont help.
I guess one thing I haven't tried after this market speed issue is changing the win Mo rom.

i think it's useless chaning the winmo rom to increase market download speed. on my device, the market is slow too. so why everyone thinks this must be a problem of the device? maybe the market IS just slow!
When I say slow I mget, 3 min to get 1.3 MB download ..
Before it would have taken literally 20 seconds..
Its slower than what is used to get on edge

Even with WiFi it's slow for me.
Same problem here. Market has been slow for me on all builds that i've tried. No matter if i try via Wifi, UMTS or whatever. Speed must be around 15-30 kb/s.
I remember reading about an article some weeks ago, that german users were experiencing slow dl speeds with the market. Google was trying to fix that, but don't if they really did.
edit:
Found the article ! It's in german:
http://www.n-tv.de/technik/Android-Market-macht-Aerger-article1283961.html
15-30kb/s ...thats exactly what im getting......
is anyone else experiencing this kind of speed.....
is there any fix???
I have this same exact issue. I thought I was the only one with this problem. I tried different builds, winmo, and radios still get really slow market speeds.
It took me a full 2 minutes to download an app about 500 KBs on wifi with speedtest speeds of 6 mbps +
can any devs chime in....
any idea what might've went wrong
slow market download fix
I have had the same issue but resolved it by unmounting the sd card. when the sd card is unmounted the market is 10x faster and downloads are normal. unmounting the sd does not seem to affect the android os either. I sure would like to know why this is though. Anyone have any ideas?

Same issues here. Market slow as hell, plus, can't donload from awesome drop or dropbox.
I guess I can't unmount my SD card since I'm running apps on data.img, right?
Market itself isn't slow. Slowness is somehow from our devices. Downloaded today angry birds lite with my hd2 and GF's galaxy s and galaxy was ready under 1min when my hd2 took 20 minutes! (and then failed to install until did unmount trick)

Yes we can!
Go to Settings -> Sd card -> Unmount
after Home -> Market
Slow market (but fast internet) problems could be caused by your Google account not being sync'ed properly to Market. Easy way to check (if you're in a country that offers paid apps) is to see if the "Top Paid" category exists in Apps/Games sections. If not, then you have market sync problems.
Only way to fix it is to 1) clear *all* Market data and cache (easiest to just delete /data/data/com.android.vending), 2) reboot, making sure that Market isn't running in the background when you do finish rebooting, 3) open up the dialer and type in *#*#2432546#*#* via the dialer keypad. If done properly, the entire line will disappear and after a few seconds a "Checkin Successful" notification should appear. 4) try logging into Market again... if you can see paid apps again, then problem fixed
If not, then try also deleting your Google account settings and re-signing in, then repeating the above steps again.
My downloads in the market via 3G or H are okay. I get about 2MB per minute.
But if I try to download something through WiFi it doesn't work anymore. It stucks at "Downloading...".
But the trick above from aussiebum did it a short time ago, as I had the same issue. Thanks

This really work! Download skype (8mb) and it took less than a minute. But phone reboot upon installation. Not rebooting but kick me back put to the blue android logo with thing flying around it. App didn't finished installing.
I went into cyanogenmod setting, application and change the application setting from auto to internal. After that, skype installed successfully then phone reload android logo again but skype works now. Will test other smaller app to see if this will strike again.
Thanks for the tip tho.
Update: just try pandora (1mb) and angry bird (11mb) and phone didn't restart. so size no issue here. Might be that skype install system file or something which cause the phone to reload/restart...idk...
Hi all, I just wanted to give a BIG thanks for the tip to unmount sd card. My d/l speeds in market went from 20-25 kb/sec to 300-400 kb/sec with 3g/H. With wifi, now is about 30-40 kb/sec consistent. Amazing tips!
I'm on T-Mobile USA, with bangsters 1.5 build (PPP), and my winmo rom is nrgz oct. 8 dinik cht. Radio 2.15.
Hello. I've been getting really slow market downloading as of late even with wifi on it crawls. Can take up to two minutes to download 1mb. It use to be way faster than this a while back sadly this had been going on for a while. I also have a rooted Nook Color and it downloads 7mb apps in 15 seconds. Any suggestions to fix my market download speed on my Evo?
Found a fix. It may have been I had market updater on freeze using titanium backup trying to keep black market on Myn's warm Rom. Well it didn't stay black anyway so I guess I just forgot about it. I defrost it and everything seems to be working now after market updated in the background. Also made my 3g faster than ever by using ad free and switch my custom ip to 0.0.0.0.
Thanks everyone who atleast looked be sure to make your 3g speeds faster with that tip if you haven't.
i have had similar issue. sometimes market downloads slow, sometimes it doesnt. and sometimes when i copy files to phone from pc it takes forever, sometimes it doesnt. just depends on how the phone wants to act i guess lol
I got my Nexus 7 in the first batch from Gamestop on the day of release. Initially, the performance was very fast, even faster than my Galaxy S2. However, after a couple of weeks now, it has become extremely slow. It is still stock, havent even rooted it. It is a 16gb model, and has close to 10gb free. I have tried clearing cache, closing all running applications, restarting but nothing really has worked.
The problem is almost every app is very slow. I get a notification of an email, i click on it and then stare at the white email screen for almost 10 sec before it opens up (the regular email app). It almost feels like a different device now than what i bought few weeks back. Other applications that run equally slow - Google Reader, Chrome, WSJ (this is perhaps the worst), Fluent News Reader. I am not much into games so havent tried a lot of them.Oh, and it is no match now to my Galaxy S2 Skyrocket or even HP Touchpad Cm9 that i got rid of last week.
I don't want to exchange it as it does not suffer from all the other problems being reported here (and am afraid that the new one might exhibit those). Please help.
Just a guess, but you most likely loaded something on it that is doing that. Check what you have installed on it, perhaps uninstalling some of the larger things to see if you can figure out what is holding it up.
Stock Nexus 7 Image
If cleaning the device does not work, you can always flash back to the stock image, which can be found on developers.google.com
Be sure to backup your apps and data!
or for the most simple of us...
Setting>Privicy>Factory reset.
That will remove any app that might be causing it.
Be warned tho, i think on this device it wipes the internal storage...
how is your WiFi signal?
seeing how almost every app require internet access, the delay could be it trying to connect.
Actually I thought that too... but my wireless signal is very strong in my small apartment and i have 30mbps line. I checked with speednet app and i am getting 13mpbs down, 4 mpbs up on nexus 7.
I am happy that this seems like my issue only - i will try to remove apps one by one to see if it helps or worst case, i will do a factory reset.
I was wondering if there are any known culprit apps responsible for memory leaks or something.

I have noticed how mine has been very sluggish when there are apps upgrading in the background or installing, etc. Maybe turn off auto update for play store?

If you send me a PM, I'll give you my email address and I can help you narrow it down by using screenshots of your app drawer.
install watchdog task manager lite, it monitors app in the background and tells you which one is causing problems.
have you tried turning off gps (location service) and see if hats the issue?
same thing

Just wanted you to know you aren't alone here...I have been seeing the same exact behavior on mine. I have started to uninstall apps one by one. I must be a bad app or something. If not I'm gonna wipe it and start over. It does feel disconcerting to go from easily the best tablet experience I have ever had to it becoming so sluggish.
i have the same problem, mine did the same thing on stock, ran great for a week or two, then became unbearably slow. so i rooted it and it wiped all data and the problem seemed to be fixed. then another week or two passed and its back to slow. i found out after testing with quadrant it has something to do with the i/o on the device, because the i/o score was abnormally lower than all the devices. putting a custom kernel will help, but still the i/o score is still quite low. i dont want to wipe all data again and if anybody knows a fix it would be greatly appreciated
nexus 7 has Kingston eMMC, it is better then the crummy Prime Hynix eMMC, but is eMMC none the less, not proper NAND flash/SSD
Well you could've had a bad app that is bogging your system down. A factory reset may be the only option so you can start fresh

Check the cache size of your Google Playbook or Magazine apps. It keeps downloading large files (400 mb) and may fill up your storage...causing it to slow down?
Having the same issue after owning it for two days. I really wanted to like this tablet,but between the sluggishness, and other various shortcomings, I'm going to be returning mine.
I deleted WSJ app and it seems to have helped a lot - not as fast as new, but a lot better. One thing which still irritates me is email app which just seems to be too slow...
Sorry to say but mine so fast I can't keep it down it trys to fly away lol

Same
has anyone been able to figure this out? I'm having the same problems and I've been running watchdog but there been no out of control process is on my device. I have wiped the device and the same thing just keeps happening after a little while it'll get very slow. it happens more often than not when there something in the background downloading are using the internet, but it's definitely not my connection because I've had no problems with any other devices.
Been getting similar behavior recently. cm10 euroskank, trinity 7.
Edit: in logcat, getting stuff like
I/Choreographer(10656): Skipped 30 frames! The application may be doing too much work on its main thread.
W/InputEventReceiver(10656): Attempted to finish an input event but the input event receiver has already been disposed.
I think I may have come across a solution. For me, the slowdowns were always connected to when something was downloading in the background, or when a process was using data, so I went through and turned off syncing on any non-essential Google services and other apps, and it seems to be working much better right now.
I have a Nook color wiped with a full version of the last stable release of CM7. It works well, but with that irritating problem of wifi reliability.
I would like to upgrade to CM10.1. The goal is to use the Nook as a development platform, while still sharing it with my wife to actually read books.
Here is the questions: Is release candidate two (RC2) of Cyanogenmod 10.1 stable enough on the Nook for daily use? I want the latest and greatest, but I don't have the time to constantly be chasing down problems, nor do I want my wife to kill me because her "book reader" has become unstable.
Do I hold out for RC3, wait for a stable release, or jump right in with RC2?
All comments and suggestions are welcome.
While CM10/4.1 was promising, CM10.1/4.2 has been a pain.
The interface seems all weird (it use a Phone interface instead of Tablet), and the performance makes the Nook Color nearly unusable. I'm talking single-digit framerates and choppy scrolling.
Personally, I found PA to be smoothest I tried... surprisingly smooth for the NC.
YMMV
I don't know about the others, I lost WiFi connections once every 2-3 hours using the most recent builds including rc2.
The fix is just turning the eifi off and on again.
However I never got sod so it is acceptable for me.
Thanks for the info guys, but the question is still up in the air. What condition is CM10 in for the nook? The wifi issues in CM7 make it useless as a connected device anywhere except with my home router (go figure). Is anyone using CM10 as their daily driver, and if so what build are you using, and where would you place the frustration level on a scale from one to 10?

I'm using CM10.1, RC2, and I'm having only very minor issues that are probably due to the ancient hardware (Flipboard sometimes freezes on me after 10 minutes, and browsers are slow, except for the very light Naked Browser). Everything I need works great, including wifi. I took it on a three week business trip to South America recently and only used my laptop once, doing email every day with no hiccups. I think it helps to tweak some settings, and use the Seeder app. Scrolling isn't butter smooth, but it's very good. Frustration level close to 0. Go figure.
I used CM10.1 for few months, it worked very good. I would say my frustration level maybe 1, and pretty much nothing compared to the satisfaction. I liked the key board, wifi connection, HD video play (for example in youtube), Browser and new UI in CM10.1 over 7.2.
recently I upgraded to CM10.1 RC4. I also did the following things to make it better. after boot up, it still has close to 150 MB memory.
1. tablet UI by autopatcher.
2. V6 SuperCharger
3. ES Task Manager to disable some startup services like Email, Email Exchange and etc.
4. Seeder.
The result is very good. It runs very smooth.
Only frustration is the speaker's volume which is low. I am using Speaker Boost, looks like helped little ( but not very sure).

I uploaded RC4's tabletUI patches, and you can get them in my signature link for My 4 Shared.
I tried one of the RC's back in the day for CM10 and didn't like it much. It seemed slow and glitchy, and it kept corrupting my SD card, so I went back to CM7 for a while, and then tried the CM10.1 nightly for 6-17 yesterday and had SD card problems again. Switching to a higher quality SD card fixed that problem, seems 4.x's file access methods make it more finicky with external media than 2.3's. According to LMT's status bar, my NC is running at 1000mhz, and everything has been fairly stable, although there are a few apps that seem to grind it to a halt, most notably the new Opera browser, although I hear that may just be an issue with their new version, using Opera classic seems to run fairly well. As far as getting the true tablet experience, I had to switch the launcher over to Apex, which has a tablet mode that removes the phone-style dock. On another note, I have two Android phones, an older one running CM7, and a new one running ICS out of the box, tried wireless tethering on each and found that my NC could Ad-hoc into the newer one and share it's internet at remarkable speeds, but couldn't maintain a connection to the CM7 phone even if I skipped DHCP and manually set the IP. I tried Bluetooth on this one and found that neither Sixaxis or Wiimotecontroller worked, but the NC did detect the Wiimote I tried, so I know Bluetooth is working. If I can find my BT headset, I'll give it a try and see if I can't make some internet phone calls. At this point, I'm going to be using CM10.1 as a daily driver, I think it's VERY usable, with my only annoyance being that it's a little slow to boot - any custom boot animations I use other than the one that comes with it are choppy and freeze up, and once the OS has loaded, I have to wait 10-20 seconds while the lock screen says (WIDGET LOADING) to even get the lock screen clock, but after that it's smooth sailing.
On the subject of reading books, I installed Moonreader+ and read some books on it yesterday, so that's still working just fine.
Okay, this is getting ridiculous and im getting pissed. My N10 has been working without a hitch (and without a camera flash too) for the past 6 or 7 months since i got it but one thing that is happening now is getting very annoying is it just exits out of apps when the app is trying to load something...not exiting when the app itself is loading, but when the app is busy loading another task. Man im getting mad...so for example im on facebook the interface loads fine but when i start browsing pictures and an image is taking a few seconds to load and BAM, the program closes, another example i have the AOSP browser opened and im browsing the web, I type in a web address it starts to load, and BAM, closes, playing candy crush, it plays fine and then i try to ask for help from facebook and once it starts loading my friends and it does it again.i could go on and on. its happening on game apps, google apps its pissing me the heck off and it just started about a month ago. I have tried several roms thinking it was a memory leak somewhere or something for that matter and no luck. Ive tried trinity and KT kernels thinking the stock kernel was the culprit and still no dice. Ive even gone as far as to wipe out the whole device, everything to the fullest system format and reinstall a new stock image via wugs toolkit...still happening. Can anyone tell me why this is happening and is there a fix for this? Is anyone going through this crap too? The Dev forums have been quite lately but im sure this tablet still has very active users who can help because this is getting old. BTW I am running Purity latest rom with Franco kernel r12 just in case you need to know
Does this happen after you watch videos? For me, that's the only time..apparently the surface flinger eats up the RAM and hardly 20-30MB is left for other apps. So I guess the system starts force closing the apps. I don't think we have a permanent fix for this yet. However, the workaround I have applied is I disabled Chrome which is another RAM eater and since then this random force closing and even the random restarts problem seems to have been alleviated!
Another simpler option is to restart the tab whenever you feel it is starting to operate with a lag. Takes hardly 30 seconds And hope for Google to release the fix to the surface flinger issue with 4.3!
