Slow over night :)

Hey guys,
like the title says, i have a strange problem. I got my htc touch hd two days ago and yesterday i had the time to tweak it a bit. Yesterday afternoon everything works great, tf3d runs smoothe, coreplayer showed my videos absolute great and so on. Before going to bed i pressed the power button once, i didn't shut the pda down completely. Today after wake up i noticed, that everything works horrible slow. tf3d runs sluggish and coreplayer shows me 1 frames per secound (max). I don't know whats happening over night. I'm no expert in win mobile so i have no clue what to do.
Thinks that i have noticed: I saw today, that the weather data was refreshes 4 minutes ago so i think the pda connected to my wlan over night an refreshed it from time to time. Maybe thats important.
*edit2: I noticed an other thing. The covers in tf3d music player aren't animated anymore. If i slide ofter them to change, only the track changes without animation.
Thanks for your help
*edit: Oh hey, its my first post. Hi everyone.

hi there... i would definitely start with soft reset...if problem persist, check what is running in background (search for and install task manager), look for things consuming a lot of processor time...identify them (u don't want to kill necessary processes) and kill those processes to see if response will improve.

GT-i9000m has been locking up recently to the point of removing the battery.

It went from extremely rarely doing it to three or four times just the other night in the span of a few hours. I can't reproduce it on command but it happens when I lock the screen and put it in my pocket. Then sometimes when I take it out it is entirely non-responsive, even the power button doesn't work. I have to remove and reinsert the battery.
It could be ADW Launcher or WidgetLocker since those are the only two programs always running, but I was hoping someone else experiences a similar issue. It hasn't happened when I normally lock it yet though, so it could also be the proximity sensor maybe?

Having the same issue (on Bell as well), but not running either of those two apps. Was almost to the point of returning the phone and then installed JM7 and it's been better, although not perfect. Last night it locked up with NoLED displaying an icon, so I've deleted that app to see if that's the issue. It hasn't locked up today, but it did reboot a few hours ago seemingly at random. :shrug:

Your internal sd card might be failing like all the other i9000m phones I see on this forum bricking themselves .

Oh, that doesn't sound pleasant at all...
I'm outside of Bell's 30 day exchange period plus I've talked for over 30 minutes, so I'll have to go through Samsung if it completely breaks. On the plus side, a phone from them should be three button recoverable.
Although I can't be without a phone for weeks, I hope it's not the SD card.

Mine Lags like crazy once every few days till the point I need to restart it. Any idea why this is do?

Hold your horses people....
before you jump about the lag, and or one click lag fix and such
first you have to investigate what is running on your phone.
just over the weekend (since XDA was down) i stalled over 400 Apps
my phone slowed down to snail speed, then i ran my Startup Manager software (many to choose from)
I suggest Startup Cleaner 2.0 then uncheck everything, leave only the apps that you want to run during start up
reboot your phone and presto, fast as new!
if you can find version 2.1 of startup manager that one is even better
keep note, start up manager apps are not the same as task killer apps
it only run once during start up, and it helps you easily select what should and should not run during start up, so it doesn't stay in memory after it runs
on the same topic
you should also configure your Task Killer apps to kill everything, and add only the wants you want to be running to the ignore list.
that will keep the phone working smoothly even without the "one click lag fix"
i'm still running stock on my JH2 i9000m

All gamer has a good sugestion here BUT we are going to get people flaming the fact that Android shouldnt need task managers.....
Ho hum..
TBH in my experience, I have found (after a couple of hard resets) that there appears to be a size limit for installed apps. Once I get over this size limit, I get LAGTASTIC, phone slows to a snails pace, then I remove a few of the apps and I am back at light speed again....
I cant say what the limit is, but I know when I have hit it - I would then uninstall a lame app or two and get back running.

Yes a lot of people "claims" that, but yet you do a search in Android Market, you see LOTS of Task Manager / Killer apps for every phone.
they were not designed for Galaxy S, they were designed long ago for all the other phones that had and still have the same problems of memory management causing lags
Android is not robust enough to survive without one
heck not even Windows 7 or Windows Mobiles phone

I just read that possibly the phone freezes while trying to find a signal. As this problem has only recently started, and I just recently moved into university, and many buildings receive little to no wireless signal, I think it's more than a coincidence. I'll try going to plane mode before entering lecture halls and basements.

i don't think that is the case with the Galaxy S
however back then my Treo 650 did suffer from that.
if you believe that is the problem then try this

Updated X10, very slow after update, advice please.

Hey everyone,
I recently swapped my own X10 for a HTC Desire for a multiutude of reasons I won't go into, but my GF kept her X10 in anticipation of the 2.1 Update. She has updated the phone now, although it did take two hours and kept failing.
Anyway, she is happyish with the phone, but I still feel guilty, as it is so terribly slow, and I recommended the phone to her in the first place.
Anyway onto my question. If anyone has a HTC Desire and an X10, they may have more insight, but basically, the X10, after the update, is really slow.
I have sat my Desire side by side with her X10, and tried to do simple tasks, like go into settings, or load media scape / gallery, or add widgets, etc, and the X10 is sometimes seconds behind the Desire, 5 or 6 seconds behind to add a widget? I am hoping this is due to a bad install of the update but am not sure.
Everything seems to lag, pressing settings, going into the app drawer, loading the messaging app, and it doesnt always take the same amount of time to load things either. Sometimes going into settings comes up instantly, other times it takes up to 5 or 6 seconds. Things just seem to hang for no reason. Even scrolling the app drawer and settings screens up and down seem laggy.
We both have launcher pro installed now too, as I find it to be an amazing launcher, but the X10 with launcher pro is again miles behind speed wise, to the point of, to me anyway, almost unnacceptable lag.
Anyway, I just wondered if anyone, hopefully with both phones too, could advise me. I dont want to advise her to do the update again if it isn't going to help. I am privately hoping it is not the limitations of the X10 that makes Android 2.1 so slow, but just a bad install, but i'm not holding my breath.
Sorry to drone on, and I hope this isnt viewed as too much of a rant or X phone verses Y phone lol.
Thanks
Biff.

Hey,
I used to have a lot of lag in the first week after updating... Its almost all gone now

Heya,
Thanks for the response, and it's a response I was hoping for! Lol. I'll cross my fingers
Biff.

It is a know thing. After a fresh upgrade the first few hours will be laggy but after it goes away. It has to do with the facial recognition plugin. If you have a lot of pictures on your sd card after the upgrade it may take a little longer.
In a few hours you will be fine.

Some say that is related to SD card reading, sould come to normal after a few hours using the phone.
I had the same but in the next morning (8 hours after) It was fine.
EDIT: I can recommend also the jit mod (only step2).

hmmm thats strange, try reflashing?

yes it was indeed laggy for few days....but aft few days and aft installing JIT i think it runs much better than desire

I had the same thing every operation on the phone was laggy and i mean really laggy...i did the update again and i also (with the help of this very forum), removed some apps (after rooting of course) like timescape etc and i also downloaded minfree manager and changed some values in it and now my phone is smoother than ever before!

[Q] Samsung Galaxy i5800 Lag problems

I just bought the Samsung Galaxy 3 several days ago. The first thing what I did was unpack the package and boot up Odin. I haven't ever seen/used the stock rom.
The first ROM I tried was InDroid 4.1. Looked nice, but sometimes I had a lot of 'lag' and for instance, when I tried to open Talk (I was already online) it took about 20-25 seconds to view the contactlist. Sometimes everything was working smooth en sometimes all apps were lagging like hell. I tried to reset the factory settings in the recovery mode, but it didn't help.
After that I thought maybe the rom wasn't so good so I tried to flash the stock rom back. I used the newest stock rom from this topic. But I couldn't get it working, it hanged always on the boot screen ("Samsung i5800") and the recovery mode didn't work. After that I tried to flash the newest Kyrillos' rom but I couldn't get that working either.
After that I tried the Dharam's Stock Performance Rom. This rom was working a lot better and it didn't "freeze" so much, but sometimes it does freeze. I tried my phone also without my SD card (Kingston 4GB Class 4 SDHC) and now it does freeze a lot less. (but it does sometimes and some apps are useless now (like Spotify)). Don't know if it is accidentally that it does not freeze so much without the SD card.
Well, I don't know if these freezes are normal, I can't check the stock rom (because I couldn't manage to flash it) but it is very annoying when you are texting somebody, emailing somebody or talking to anybody that you can't type normal (like 1 char/3sec) or that you have to wait very long until something shows up.
Btw, some more information: it doesn't matter how many apps I have open, sometimes it does freeze with only two apps open in the task manager and for instance, now it is working fine with 11 apps open in the task manager. Pretty weird. There is about 200 MB free from the 245MB.
Maybe that somebody can help me out or can confirm that this is normal.
Edit (21:37): Ok, well I tried tonight to run several apps together, like Spotify, Twitter, Facebook, Runkeeper, Maps, Navigation, and some more. It wasn't as fast as my previous phone (HTC Desire) but it didn't lag like I described above. But when I run just 2 apps (like 'Messages' and 'Whatsapp' or just some other random combination (or sometimes nothing)) it can lag like hell. Don't think that it is lagging because of the amount of programs that I am running, but because of something else. But I can't find out what.

I just accomplished to flash back the stock XXJPM from samfirmware. I tried already the CPU frequency scaling but that didn't help either.
No problems for now..

I use bojpc from samfirmware and my phone lags alot too. Sometimes it gets stuck and reboots on his own!

Hmm, now I don't have any problems at all.. Only Spotify lags a bit when I use a lot of apps together, but I guess because that's spotify and this isn't a really fast phone.
I only miss a few things like the advanced battery icon and some other handy things. But that isn't a big deal.
Don't know if I'm gonna try another custom rom, maybe when 2.4 Fugumod is out of beta.

[Q] Screen response

Hi All,
I have got my Ideos X5 for about 2,5 weeks now and at first everything was fine. I had a battery life of about 2 full days, made it 3 days once! The response was quick and everthing was as I wanted it.
The last week however when i scroll in my menu, it's not fluent anymore, switching from screens (left and right) is not fluent anymore and i am unable to remove widgets from my homescreen. This is because when i press the widget (if you do it long enough you should be able to place it in the garbage can) it only holds it a for a fraction and then it drops it again, or it simply loads the program. Angry birds simply crashes after like 5-10 games for another example. When i do a quadrant test at that moment, it scores like 1000.
Now the strange thing is: this is not all the time. Sometimes it has these problems, sometimes it works fluently, no problems, no crashes, quadrant of 1400.
I tried to find out if it was a particular application that was running that caused it, but i ended every application that i've downloaded so far and it still occurs.
Anyone have any idea what it could be and how to solve the problem?
Tnx!

What Rom are you running?

I use the stock os.
build number: V100R001c00b135sp01
custom version: Custdeuc253d001
so i guess B135?

Hi all, quick update. I think i might have found the answer to my problems.... I downloaded this battery app earlier and i removed it now. This night cost 0% battery (earlier it sometimes cost 30%) and angry birds didn't crash even though i played for like an hour and alle screens work fluently again. Lets hope it stays that way! (otherwise i'll be back )

Every battery saving app is oNLY for stupid people who don't know what is their phone and how to lower brighness or disable GPS. Apps CAN NOT make any difference in battery life, only shorting it. Cause it's again only just one more app running in background and using phone resources - and it's from battery.
