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.

[Q] Voodoo lag fix - Still lagging/hanging?

Just wondering how many people are still seeing significant lag or freezing even with Voodoo installed? Mine was was hanging and lagging pretty bad over time and uninstalling apps, doing battery pulls was not helping for long. Didn't seem specific to any particular thing either.

Yes but there is no writing to system so lag there should be minimal. I was having issues too, until I figured out it was the ram tweaking app doing it.

Valid point.. I was thrown off by the OP's grammar. My initial understanding was that lag was experienced during the uninstall of apps. I see, now, that he meant that uninstalling the apps didn't help with his lag.

My culprit was http://www.appbrain.com/app/autokiller-memory-optimizer/com.rs.autokiller
Which makes me sad because I made a sizeable donation to the dev.

I miss my Nexus as well, but am happy with my fascinate. It's a superior device, just needs some froyo pushed so the dev magic can begin in earnest.
Honestly, if they rolled out an N1 on verizon, I wouldn't change, I just wish Samsung would get off their asses with the update already.

Sorry for the poor wording - I was having issues just unlocking the screen if the browser or another app had been left on screen/running when it turned off. Sometime moving from one app to another then to another would do it and sometimes just opening something like Tweetdeck or Tapatalk from the home screen with nothing else running would do it. I was getting complete hangs lasting 30-40 sec. I don't use any task killers and had pared apps down to about 6 or 7 and was still getting unbearable lag - much worse than I ever had without Voodoo.
Just my experience so YMMV - just thought we could consolidate the issue with a poll since I was seeing similar comments in various threads but no real consensus on the issue.

After you took that off did it clear up the lag issues? Because I put that on the same night you did in IRC. Might have to put voodoo back on if autokiller is what was causing it all along. Just seemed to get slower day by day without a restart but I would love it if the app was the issue

Curious about the autokiller settings you were using. I leave it on default with aggressive as secondary when my screen sleeps. Haven't had any lag whatsoever with anything. I know sometimes things are device specific, but was just curious how you nailed this as the culprit.

I was using the settings that curio put on his twitter. I know that wasn't towards me but I think Adrynalyne was using these too. But I could be wrong.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App

I tried Curio's settings, as well as aggressive, and one other....
I nailed it down because I froze it with Titanium, which stopped it on startup and my phone started working 10000% better. I was this || close to uninstalling voodoo as the problem.

Did you try the "optimal" setting?

The settings arent the problem. The app is.

I'm not even sure why people think they need these task killers. This phone runs like lightning with just Voodoo.

Wow thank you sooooo much. I've been using this since day one and thought all my phone issues were Samsung-related.
I just removed it and for the past couple hours I've experienced some of the best performance ever. I'm sad it took this long to get to this point, but oh well, time to enjoy...

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.

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.

Live Wallpaper! Sluggish!

Whats the point of live wallpaper when its slows your phone down! Google should improve this or take the feature away.....it worthless!!

Nope it's you

Some live wallpapers are way more taxing than others. Depends on your home launcher too.
I'm using the tw vibrant launcher and most lwps don't slow it down at all.
Mario lwp on playback mode has no real lag problems at all.
If you're using adw or launcher pro, good luck. They don't handle live wallpapers nearly as smoothly.

adrynalyne im not trying to insult you bro. not my intention. what I meant in a friendly way to say was "C'mon you f'n kidding me?"
Unless im a complete mental....you mean to tell me that lets say you use the Pond wallpaper....that doesnt slow your launcher down? Or even slow you down when flickin through pages?
BTW Im using launcherpro set to its fastest settings.
Without the live wallpaper i ZOOM!

No, but as mentioned above, different launchers handle lwp better.
Sadly, the twlauncher handles it the best.

@pkopalek just saw your post about launcherpro having problems.....if thats the case SORRY I spoke to soon i am a TARD!

Check what running in your back ground dude. Only time Ive experienced sluggishness is when I had the voodoo installed
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App

TouchWiz with the lwp flurry yields no lag in page changes or app launching. Just about a 8% extra decrease in battery throughout the day versus a static image.
good day.

I had some lag issues in the past all of them fixed by task killer or format sd card to clear out all the crap on it. Cache cleaner helps alot as well. Havent had many issues with live wallpapers only one would totally freeze my phone so I tossed it and no more issues. Been over a month since noticable lag or any freezing... And thats the truth. Take it or leave it.

I've tried many different roms such as jvo, jvh, jvp and jvq. I've tried darkys, juwes, gingerreal , f1, insanity and miui but they all have these problems after the phone has been 'up' for over a day. When I exit a game using home or back my launcher restarts.

You are using tw launcher ? If not, you should check your task killer program. Maybe you got the option "stAy in ram". If yes, choose it

I havent tried the stuff in this thread but it is interesting, and on the second page, there is a posted .apk that apparently solves it..
Like saphirrot said, if the launcher has a 'stay in mem' option, check it. I've done that with Launcher Pro and the launcher restart happens far far less.

It's just android freeing up ram for the game. It's a pain in the ass but better than not being able to run a game because of low memory.

I use super manager or astro manager. They have app managers and allow you to install .apk files. Super manager is great if you have root access as you can uninstall bloatware apps like aldiko, layar etc. Make sure to backup app just in case anything goes wrong.

Nothing is wrong. It's running out of memory. Android shall release background tasks if foreground tasks need the memory. Since Gingerbread, you can no longer force most things to stay in memory so those features are mostly useless these days. Should have kept to one ROM and asked your question in its thread. Too many things to suggest to tune it properly really. Uninstalling system apps you don't use and trying different kernels are your last options.

This is completely unacceptable then, you can't even multitask. And after the phone has been 'up' for over 12 hours you can't even keep the dialer in memory! There must be a way around this. A smartphone should not take over 3 seconds to open the dialer.

I have never seen this problem before, and since it so several I have to assume that if other people had it, they would have posted about it.
That means that it is either due to a problem with your hardware, or due to something you are installing/configuring. I would do a full factory default then add apps back very slowly, one by one, doing some basic testing in between. That way you may be able to isolate the problem.
If it still happens right after the factory reset, take the phone to a service center.
