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.

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.
Is there an application that shows current power usage in mA (and how many mAh left) in notification area?
I'm not looking for widget or status bar % icon.
Try an app called "where's my Droid power"
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
No, this app is just a little better version of Battery Usage from standard Android. This is not what I'm looking for.
You can try "Battery Droid" widget from the market but you must click the widget to obtain information

Hey everyone,
First time android user and absolutely loving it so far!
I was wondering how vigilant I need to be in killing off background apps? Coming from the iPhone, its a very different approach. I am just wondering if too many apps running has a negative effect on speed and battery life. How adept is the OS at killing off apps that I haven't opened in a while?
Thanks so much for the input. I am loving my Atrix!!

Starting with Froyo, Android became much more efficient with managing memory. I do not run a task manager on my DX, never kill any background processes, and my phone runs great all day long.
I only use task killer to make sure I don't have any constant data streaming while I'm not using the phone.
Thanks for the input. I will have to read up on froyo and multitasking efficiency. On the same note, can anyone recommend a battery indicator replacement? Is there a way to show a percentage using the stock one?
Thanks again.

Good point I forgot about. Since Verizon is still on unlimited data (for now), I never pay any attention to what runs in the background.
I too am new and did find one app that allowed multi-tasking, kinda like the windows version of alt-tab and also kill it it too. Very simple but sees be great so far. Called TaskSwitcher. I hold down the Search button and it brings all the "windows" in the background, can go to them or hold it down and kill them. Really impressed!
Meh, with this ophone, you don't really need to worry about background tasks slowing you down.
I used one to make sure there wasn't something big in the background draining the battery but other than that, it hardly ever slows down.

Though it still applies here...and it's incorrect.
Killing applications, just like every other Android version, does not affect battery life.
Doesn't that only clear the apps from the recent app list? I know that not every app listed is currently running, because it lists apps that I have confirmed to be closed... (long-press back to kill FTW)

Well, anything is possible...
I thought that list was just a bunch of shortcuts to recent apps (not a cache of the actual app data), but if it is linked to the cache, then clearing it out would mean less cache data to juggle - I just didn't think that the difference would be that significant (maybe there is a bug in the memory management that causes innefficient processing... or, maybe the stock ICS ram requirement is compensated for by a lot more cache activity, which would also increase battery drain...)
But if it makes that much of a difference, then I'd like to learn more about how it actually works - if it is linked to the cache, then manual clearing might be the only reasonable method, but if it is just shortcuts, then disabling it shouldn't break anything else, and might save even more battery... this could be my ticket back to CM9 as a reasonable daily driver (without having to buy a new battery, lol)...
This has my thoughts going in several directions at once, so I'll leave this post on that incomplete thought before I end up writing a novel of half-baked ramblings

Download Better Battery Stats and check for wake locks.
Sounds like you have a rouge app.
Anybody have tips on how to save some battery on this device? Here are my battery stats. Any suggestions welcomed pleasseeee.

I wasn't very impressed with the Note 3's battery life at first, then I went into Settings>Application Manager and disabled a whole bunch of bloatware. Also went into each app and turned off any background update and location service if we don't need it. You can do this without root. Just take a look on this board and you'll see someone has compiled a list of apps that you can disable.
The phone now runs cooler, and yesterday, we had 14h usage and 6.5 hours display on time (auto brightness). Very impressive in my book.

Turn off all the Samsung features when you're not using them like Smart Stay and Air Gesture. The sensors are always on in certain apps when you have them enabled. Turning them on and off is easily accessible via the notification toggles. But it will only slightly help, your phone should be performing better than that even with those features running. Try a factory reset if it is safe to do with the root method.

Download the app Wakelock Detector from the Play Store.
Open it for the first time right after you unplug your phone
After some deep sleep occurs for awhile, open Wakelock Detector and select the icon in the top right to select "Wakeup Triggers"
This will show you which app waked the device when it was trying to sleep(=screen off) and how many times it waked it. Figuring out Google wakelocks will probably help you the most unless you have some poorly written or rogue app
A good start would be to remove ALL google apps that you don't use, and turn off google ads as well as notifications and scheduled checks within say...Play Store and Youtube and Gmail

I essentially hibernate everything except system apps and widgets, just to be safe. You would also not hibernate apps that you want background notifications from. I also use the donate version, which allows me take advantage of GCM. Which, for apps that use GCM, allows me to hibernate those apps and still receive notifications.
Hope that helps =]
My favorite app is the Snapdragon BatteryGuru. I love it! That will monitor usage and show you which programs are battery hogs and will learn your behaviors with your phone. Only works with the Snapdragon Processor phones as well.
