How many apps should I have,to stop slowness?

I have only had the phone a few days and having installed about 10apps the performance of the phone has slowed a lot.i have task killer installed and making sure I'm shutting down most apps when not in use, But everything has slowed since I installed the last fm app
Is there a directory where temp files are stored?
Any help would be great!

Chances are pretty high that you have the same problem as I did, that one of the apps are slowing it down in some manner. You could also replace the TwLauncher (Samsungs ****ty home app) with something like Launcher Pro, which is my recommendation. Just doing that will garner you some performance help.

I already useG launcher pro, but I just restarted my phne and its sped up again.and my ram has increased also.I'm confused

Flash your phone with the modaco Rom and run the lag fix script. This is a temporary problem and a temporary fix. Samsung will fix it soon. They know about it but the phone was rushed out. Needs upgrading that's all. Mine runs very smoothly.

Doesn't look like an Android problem, but a phone specific so you need to rely on a fix from Samsung.

As mentioned above, nothing to do with Android ~ just bad coding on the part of software Apps installed.
What I have done and recommended to many is to get hold of the App 'SystemPanel'.
There are two versions available on The Market ~ SystemPanel Lite (Free) & SystemPanel App (Paid).
Try the Lite version first. It will firstly allow you to see exactly which application is hogging your system/taking memory/using battery performance/etc./etc.
It has detailed graphs/plots and about everything but the kitchen sink added to aid you in finding what is going on.
On top of that it also has the most detailed selection process of closing down Apps.
I purchased it almost immediately and know many others who have followed suit.
I don't get any further performance issues ~ period.

I have 150 apps, and yes there is slowness, i am also using minfreemanager on aggressive setting and this makes a HUGE difference.
Not sure what google can do about bad coding, is there a way to figure out which apps can cause slowness?

I read somewhere that the lag fix will recreate the problem of Android, which is low space to install apps!!
Is that right?

If you really want to find out what is slowing down your system then yes, use SystemPanel.
I can't remember what the difference is between the Lite & Full version.
All I know is I found it looked that good I get the Full version and have not looked back since.
The Lite version will give you some indication what the program does but please check what you get extra in the Full version.

Help. ADW launcher

hello friends. ive been using adw launcher fr a while... didnt had any issues b4 bt now... whenever i press the home button, adw launcher restarts and all the widgets hav to b loaded again. its ok if it happens like once in 2 days but it happens like almost everytime i press it... nd im really irritated with it.
jus in case u wana knw, im using Estrongs task manager.
waiting fr ur replies. thanks.

did you set ADW to replace default one?

my problem is when i hold the home key (to switch between recent apps) i have to set adw as default again ... and i experience a lot of crashes - mostly when i go back from an app to my home screen .... for me the new version is unusable now

Yes yes. I have.

None of them. My advice is not to use them.

I use Advanced Task Killer (free version) and works pretty well on my phone. Some people say not to use one but have yet to see any evidence of why not to other than peoples opinions, so it's up to you whether or not you want to use one.

Mine works much better without task killers. No lags at all... And i tried many of them. It´s just my opinion, dude. You can find many threads about this to get your own: to use or not task killers.
regards
edit: And I use ADW (last update) and 026 firm non rooted. No task killer. No startup manager. And everything is just fine.

ohk. ill try to do both things... thanks a lot for the help! =)

I don't feel like writing out the full reason for why not to use a task killer.
Luckily for me, this link explains it nicely.
http://geekfor.me/faq/you-shouldnt-be-using-a-task-killer-with-android/
Once you give it a read, you can google around and you will find other sources which give you the same info in a bit more detail.
As for the widget problem? I have yet to experience it unless I am changing a setting on ADW (pretty much any changed setting under ADW settings will result in my widgets reloading). However, I never experience it other than that. I imagine the task killer is your problem.
Good luck!

Again, it is an opinion, but without ATK, I would not be able to fully use ADW. You can explain the logic about why one should or should not use a task killer. My own personal experience shows that my battery and phone performs better with the free version of ATK.
[Note: the link to the geekfor.me as posted by ^^ says that Android automatically kills tasks when more memory is needed. NOT true with the X10. That is why the phone re-starts from time to time. SE's own support site list this as an issue. Once I have started using ATK, my phone does not re-starts by itself anymore].

"Android is hard coded to automatically kill a task when it’s done doing what it needs to do."
So why then does it leave tasks running when you close them, for example, if I use Meridian then close it, the app will still show in the ATK list, and remains there until I shut it down. When you boot the phone, it loads a few apps, that would remain there unless I use ATK. The first reply to the article sums up the experience of a lot of users.

Mine has never re-started itself without task killer.

I use Advanced Task Manager since I started using X10 with ADW Launcher. It was all fine at the begining. Then I reinstalled software and restored aplications (without settings) and started experience the same problem as OP. So I have changed some settings in ADW, especially paying attention to System Preferences and UI settings. I don't know excatly what I have changed but I do NOT experience any problems with ADW "restarting" after that. So in my opinion this problem is down to setting ADW properly, only.

My ADW was experiencing that as well and I enabled ADW Settings > System Preferences > System persistent
This seemed to fix it for me.

ATK and similar apps are a personal choice, I used ATK until late June but since uninstalled the phone had run smoother. But then, it's rooted and overclocked...
ADW is probably the best home, openhome and panda have issues and xxx too crashes too often

[Q] Problems with CPU?

Hello everyone,
I've had some problems with my legend lately.. The phone would become really slow and it would take forever to load something. I'm talking about times of atleast 30-60 seconds here.. So I tried checking out what was causing it and I found out my CPU was running at 100% all the time (I did this with the app mini info).
My phone has froyo loaded onto it, no roms or anything yet.. no taskkillers or anything either.
Now my questions are:
1) What's causing this so I can prevent it from happening in the future?
2) How to solve the actual problem?
I love this phone so much but this problem has really been annoying me..
Thanks in advance .
P.s. I hope I put this in the right forum since I'm fairly new here. ^_^;

You've probably got an app or 10 running in the background, get a task manager on there.

Nope, I don't have that many apps on my phone yet, it's still fairly new.. and I always close the apps I use with the back button.. not the home button >_<. So they should be closed, right?
Any suggestions for a task manager though? I'll try anything as long as it helps .

not alll aplication will close.some of them work on background.if you have antivirus then it will slow your mobile[not all]
i recommend that to use a task killer.some of them automatically kill tasks that you don't want screen on time or certain period of time.[by the way you can edit the list]
you can also find out memory and cpu usage for each application with the help of astro file manager .

Do you have HTC News widget on some of your home screens? If yes - try to remove it and see if it makes any difference...
Another trick is to enable USB debug mode.

Home Screen Reloading

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 ?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App

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?

Randomn screen wake-ups?

I am on lightspeed 2.01 with the latest Thor kernel. I have tried the taboony rom, civato's and a few others but I have never been able to fully stop randomn screen wakeups even sometimes when I have wifi off completely. Is there a way to fully stop it from happening? Thanks in advance.
Sent from my A500 using Tapatalk

I couldnt say the issue right now, expecially since you have been trying multiple roms. I do know that random screen wake ups were an issue with original a500s until they were updated for stock. I used to have this issue as well until I updated.
However, in your case I would recommend a complete wipe, no memory card, and test with rooted stock rom or rom of your choice. then if issue doesnt happen, put your memory card in and test, and if still working fine then start redownloading and reinstalling what you want.
If it happens even after complete wipe then might be a hardware problem and may eventually have to contact acer.

If you have a "screen on issue", I would point the finger at some downloaded apps, and not necessarily the rom.
It is normal, for a rom, to goto sleep, then immediately wake for a minute, then go to sleep permanently.
If it's waking at intervals after this point, then it is an app issue.

Again as usual Its likely a app that is causing this.. You can install a app called
advanced task manager and make sure you have TI BACKUP INSTALLED.
run the task manager kill all running apps.
DO not let the task manager run in background you can turn it off in its settings.
look at the apps that keep starting themselves after you put it to sleep. IN Ti freeze one of the apps running.
if the trouble continues try another app. go thru all of your apps until you find the app not playing nice.. try checking its settings to stop it from auto updating..
apps that useally do this are like facebook twitter email news apps weather apps and so on .
Good Luck and Happy Diagnostic Fun..
