Phone is so slow

My xplay is so slow... I have over 158mb internal and I have to constantly fc everything. Half of my Apps I go to load fc anyways.. What is the deal?

Chances are that there is some background thread that is causing this from a service connector. Something like account adapters (Google Accts have several sub-acct connectors for 'Books', Maps/Latitude, GMail, Calendar, Contacts, etc... and FB is a notoriously buggy account adapter as well).
Another cause is background services for Widgets. These also tend to eat up running memory, page back and forth (if you have that enabled), and are slow to re-initialize if ever dropped from memory by the internal memory manager. This causes even further slowdowns in redraw loops for the Launcher and system processes, which will usually cause the FC popups.
What specifically is causing your FC problems, I have no idea. However, there are some ideas to work with.

I have no widgets up but the clock and power control. Idk. I'm about to just hard reset and start over. But when I open Pandora or even sometimes my contacts it freezes and fc.

Probably best if you hard reset

Android checkin service - 70-80% of cpu

Hey guys,
So the other day I rebooted my blade, and it was running painfully slow. I rebooted again and again to no avail, so downloaded a cpu meter.
The results from this were that android/checkin service is using a drastic (70-80%) of the cpu when this is happening.
I launched a terminal, killed the process, the phone rebooted and it was fine.
Now the problem is, if i reboot my phone again it goes back into slow mode, with the checkin service using the cpu.
Anybody know anything about this process?
Im running stock rom, unlocked, rooted, uninstalled bloatware, using go launcher, custom lockscreen and custom font.
Thanks in advance

Sounds like an app failing to sync data. Try betterbatterystats - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809 it might help you to find out which app.

Wow really? One app failing to sync uses that much? Wow. Hmm i'll give that a try. Is that syncing with market updates? Or just general sync?
Thanks for the reply, hope it isnt an app i use a lot :S

A badly written app misbehaving could. If you find out what it is then you can try changing whatever app settings might be causing it, removing app data, or uninstalling the app. Better battery stats should give more information on what app it is, i think android checkin could be any app that syncs data. either that, or it's some kind of location checkin thing, have you used lattitude at all? it could be that.

Unfortunately betterbatterystats isn't free in the market, and the dow load links in the post arn't compatible :-/

So according to astro's process manager it's 'system_server'.
Does that shed any light on it?
Sent from my ZTE BLADE using XDA App

okay so i think i've solved it by turning off location services.
It might be because foursquare recently added assisted gps.
So, looking around the internet, this problem stems back to when google latitude and other location services were created. Something along the lines of multiple location requests kills the device.
If thats the case, then why is it still affecting phones today? I'll let you know if it has properly fixed it though.

It could be foursquare or latitude, maybe the combination of both. My money would be on latitude, if you've ever set it up, it seems to be quite badly made & i don't think many people use it, but google insist on bundling it with google maps. Maybe you can turn it off if you open the app & press menu, I never joined, so I'm not sure.
Turning off location services will affect apps that you might want to use, like maps & navigation.

Well I don't have latitude on mine, it may have been installed but i removed it when i was clearing bloatware. Havent had a problem since turning off location services, perhaps forsquare uses the same buggy api as latitude? I dont need location services much anyway, and as long as i turn it off before a restart it should be okay

And it's done it again, even with location services disable... :-/
Sent from my ZTE BLADE using XDA App

If you don't want location services then why do you have foursquare installed?

I did want them enabled, but I thought it had solved the problem, which evidently it hasn't. Uninstalled it for good measure and it still did it, so no idea what it could be now.

No images in market

When I open market I am not able to see any images
Even in description I am not able to view any thumbnails. It states no connection whereas I have 3g network and everything other works fine

Sounds like a network issue. There are times when 3g etc shows but no data is transmitted.

I can access the marketvand even download apps but only the images or screenshoot of apps r not shown other everything works perfectly issue is ther in wifi also
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App

I assume you are on Vodafone and this is an issue. Seems like they are having issues with the images, perhaps some firewall policy has disabled the images from loading.
IF you try using WiFi, you will notice that they show up.
Airtel is not having this issue, so its isolated to the Carrier and not Google / Device.

Yeah I get this too sometimes, seems to be a carrier issue cause when I set another carrier using market enabler, it works fine...

Thought this was just me!
Had similar issues my self. Go to the market to view the stop. Shows a preview of al the pictures but sometimes (more often than not..) I can't click to view any more than the first image. I've flashed a fair few roms now, I put it down to the market being a bit buggy at the moment as some work fine.
I normally google the hell out of what im getting prior to the market to make sure its what I'm after so is not really been a issue.

You can try clearing the market cache , from the task manger

Talking Moto x

Hey guys,
I have this problem on my 2013 Moto x that since this morning it started talking like the accessibility settings were on and also putting an orange line in a Google search result page. I've checked the accessibility settings and talk back is off, also checked out other sound related settings without result. Restarting the phone doesn't help. Can anyone help me with this problem, cause it's not only really annoying but the talking also comes when the phone is silent (and yes, I did check Google now settings too) witch is even more annoying cause I can't have my phone on at work. Hopefully you can help me out.

Even if Talkback is off in the accessibility services, try turning it on and back off again to see if that helps. Sometimes there is a disconnect between the actual state and the displayed state. This sounds exactly like Talkback, from what you described.

Tried to do that, didn't work. Sorry I didn't mentioned it before.

Maybe this will help. For as far as I noticed, I only have the problem in feedly and the Google search bar

Spotify app keeps crashing

Hi I've been having this problem for a week where my Spotify app keeps crashing everytime I open it. I did all the necessary stuff like reinstall the app, clear cache and data and soft reboot phone. Still can't work, it's been fustrating as I use Spotify daily and not being able to use it now is annoying. Not sure if it's the app that's the problem or the S10+. Anyone else experiencing this?

Crushing how? FC on start or stop working after you turn off the screen? In that case make sure Spotify is excluded from sleeping apps and enabled to work in background.
Sorry just read your post again and it's crushing on start so I don't know what is wrong.

You are not using a synergy theme by chance?
Only mention because if the app updates, you have to reapply or remove theme mod for the app or it will stop working.

Meaning every time I open the app, it will load for a second and the app just force closes. I have attached a screenshot of the message. It does this everytime I reinstall. And yes it's excluded from the sleeping apps.
