G2 running very slow

Been testing my stock G2 with Quantant and noticed that its been really slow. I use to get 1500-1600, now 1000.
Anyone know how I can see is using all my resources?
Best way to clean up the G2?

Wipe it and see if it helps.

Quadrant is very inacurate. I wouldn't trust it.

does it feel slow in day to day use? if not then I wouldnt worry what quadrant tells you.

I have read in another thread somewhere in the forums that many people are getting lower scores in Quadrant since the recent update to the application.
Before the update, I scored in the 2200 range (running @ 1.5/performance). I just ran Quadrant now, with the same settings and scored 1600...
The device is running the same, its just some tweaks with Quadrant that are delivering the lower scores. Unless the phone is lagging or having problems, I wouldn't worry about it.

The only thing I have noticed over the last 3 months since I have been using my G2 is the time to load the "Gallery" seems to take much longer.
Sometimes it loads right up, sometimes it loads up showing the placeholders, and other times (more often then not now) it opens up the "Gallery" to a blank/yellow background, then just hangs there for up to about a minute or so without showing anything and then either crashes or finally opens/shows the pictures/gallery.

Throw CM7 on there and crank that ***** up to 11. I OC'd to 1.5 and got a 2500 quadrant last night. I am perfectly happy OC'd to about 1.1 though, so no need to risk damage to the CPU by leaving it OC'd so high.

When I am in landscape mode with keyboard open...then close the keyboard and make it portrait, the home icons don't show up until 10-15 seconds later. Anyone know why? Otherwise, it seems ok in speed except for this switching from landscape to portrait and the icon shortcuts are not there.

I have the same issue. I'm so used to seeing it that I forgot it was a "bug" :-/.
Running stock btw.

well im glad im not the only one with the landscape to portrait switching lag... but I wish someone can help in finding what is causing this....anyone?

There are two other posts on this - no one has any solution.
I have that problem as well using stock launcher.
But many people use launcher pro, or ADW, with those launchers you do not get this problem. I'm guessing the majority of people on XDA use a non-stock launcher so this problem doesn't really get any attention.
I don't know if it's Launcher Pros fault or not, but after I installed it my phone started shutting down randomly. Reflashed and restored using TB and it's still doing the same thing with it uninstalled...

Same problem here. With the Gallery lag thingy too. And now all HQ or HD videos on youtube epically fail when playing. I uninstalled and reinstalled youtube but the same keeps happening...very annoying :/ I heart my G2 idk what happened. I don't have many apps that would make the phone lag or have video problems (yes I just checked...even gallery videos are choppy)

Laggy xoom

Anyone elses XOOM super Laggy...any ways for the fix
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App

Yep, I think theres lag in every Android tablet I've played with. Googles min specs just aren't high enough for Honeycomb... Hopefully a bit more RAM and Quad Cores will fix it...

You know how you can install crappy software that runs at boot which will make even a core i7 with a good GPU and lots of RAM start lagging?
Yeah. Like that. Don't install lots of crap and expect the OS to handle it.

I've seen logs from users with 40+ boot services while trying to diagnose field issues with my apps.
The scary thing is I think it's more common than people who are careful about watching app behavior/installing minimal apps.
To make it worse, there's a lot of crappy software for Android. It's easy to cruft up your device.
Sometimes I almost wish for Apple's walled garden and non-multitasking app switching...

+1 +1 +1 sir

Custom rom for me such as team tiamat's latest takes away much of the lag. I also run adw ex launcher which pretty much takes away all the lag.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App

Hi all,
Well from day one i installed ADW EX as my launcher and only ever install apps i actually need and use as opposed to installing as many as i can because i can. So far i have yet to see any of the issues some users report and have never seen any lag, crashes or freezes maybe I've just been lucky but my Xoom has done all i wanted and more without issue so far.
Marc

I have over 100 apps on my xoom, stock 3.2 and it lags after being up for 6+ days. I think some devices need to be reset. I still had horrible keyboard lag on 3.1 after that update so I did a reset and it went away. Since the 3.2 all lag in the app drawer, home screens in different orientations, and opening of apps and menus is gone for me.

I have almost 300 apps, use ADWEX and Hammerhead Rom--everything zips right along. It's true that it begins to lag just a bit when I go a long time w/o rebooting.

im experiencing some serious lag. Not many apps installed but plenty of lag time.

Will suggest to try custom rom. It's easy. Before that may be some maintenance could help. Wipe cash and stuff. Meanwhile was thinking to try v6 supercharged script to illuminate lagging. Is there anyone have tried?

I m in stock but i nvr experience any lag .. except long boot time

its annoying. ive also experience this on my xoom wifi and i dont even have alot of apps installed. i have to reboot the tablet atleast once a day so it doesnt lag badly.

I noticed it too. It appears to have apps just sitting in a tray. If you open it, it never really gets dumped. Multitask just isn't killing these apps when idled for hours. If I am not switching between apps after an hour why keep it up?

Just like any other pc, just close 'em. I use Active Apps widget-just check it when my ram is getting low and close whatever is still active. No need to kill apps that aren't active, though.

And how exactly is it laggy? I get almost no lag, ever, on mine. And I've had the pleasure of owning quite a few tablets: XOOM, Galaxy Tab 10.1, iPad, TouchPad, Viewsonic Gtab, and Nook Color. Out of all of them, the XOOM and Tab 10.1 were arguably the most responsive.
Prior to 3.2, GPU performance was horrible when the screen was in upside-down landscape. This resulted in horrible home screen lag. Thankfully, this has now been fixed. Portrait mode is still slow. But at 0 degrees landscape, it's fantastic.

Read up on the Android Process Lifecycle before complaining about it. App handling done in a very intelligent manner, optimizing speed and responsiveness. We have tons of memory on the device, so why not leave apps as background cached processes? Plus, as part of the process lifecycle, there's a very limited amount of resources that can be devoted to background processes that do not display an ongoing notification. It's on the order of ~5% CPU utilization.

GS3 vs N4 multitasking

A quick question for you lucky people who have got your N4s:
What's the multitasking like? I'm hoping it must be flawless with 2gigs of RAM?
Can someone who has GTA3 tell me if you can pick up exactly where you left off, if you've gone out of the game to do other things for a while? On my current phone GS3, it has the annoying habit of kicking me back to the beginning of the last mission I started if I leave the game for any reason. Is this a RAM limitation on my phone, or does GTA3 do this on all phones?
EDIT: I should mention I'm using the international GS3 i9300, that only has 1GB RAM.

My biggest problem with my older phones was that they would constantly close out the apps that I needed to stay open like contacts, messaging, phone. It annoyed me that my old clam shell phones would instantly open contacts and my G2 couldn't open then faster than 4 seconds or so. This thing leaves all those open and they all open instantaneously.

Flawless x2. Seriously, apps stay in memory for a considerably greater amount of time than my Atrix 2, and obviously longer than my Captivate. It makes switching to almost anything smooth and snappy.
Flawless.

What the other guys said - it is really great. No app loses it status, even if you have open quite a few of them. Switching between apps is absolutely fluent, no hiccups no waiting, nothing!

This should set the expectations of every Android phone.... Stock Android.

To be honest with you, multitasking has completely amazed me on the N4. On the Gnex, apps would close right away. With the N4, I go back to the browser at the end of the day, and the page I loaded hours earlier is still in memory In fact, I have yet to see my phone go below 950mb RAM remaining. I really think 2gb was overkill (1.5 would've easily done the job), but hey, I'm not complaining Also, keep in mind that I don't use any widgets at all, and I have very few things running in the background aside from Skype, so others may have a different experience.
Edit: As for GTA, it might be the game doing this. For example, Livingsocial is really annoying like that too. It doesn't matter if you just hit home and come back right away, it'll start from beginning. Yet, World of Goo, a much more demanding app, will come back exactly as I left it even when I leave to browse the internet for a while. Some developers really need to get with the program. I personally don't have GTA, so I couldn't tell you specifically.

Perfect. No other word to describe it. So much so I've noticed the phone stuttering a bit when scrolling (like a TINY bit, much less than any other android phone normally) and out of instinct opened the task killer to find 30+ applications all RUNNING. Including GTA3,

OK, I know its good, but 30 RUNNING? You do realize some stay in the launcher but aren't running, right? So you clicked them and they all didn't need to reload? I find that hard to believe. Someone should do a stress test of how many apps you can open before they need to reload when you go back to them and post it on YouTube

graphics issues

Hey I just got my g2. Incredible phone, there is a learning curve however. I'm not quite used to the dimensions and button the back, but I have only been using it for a couple days so I'll give it t some time. The screen and camera are the best I've ever seen(not counting the nokia1020).
The biggest issue for me right now is performance. Switching in and out of apps and navigating apps is pretty choppy. Had this been 3 years ago the speed would be great but I'm comparing it to my galaxy s4 and iPhone 5 side by side and the scrolling on some web pages and apps is frustratingly slow. I was wondering if anyone is seeing the same kind of performance?

No, my phone is flying. No lags whatsoever. I would try a master reset and see if that helps.

Since your coming from anexus 4, which was my favorite android phone besides the camera. How are you doing with the size difference? I have larger than average size hands and I have to bounce the phone around in my hand to reach things I need to press at the top of the screen. Never had that problem with the nexus or my gs4.

I'm coming from a N4 too (I'll get the phone the G2 this week) I'll miss vanilla, but the battery life, camera, and larger screen will MORE than make up for that with the G2.

do me a favor and try youtube, asphalt 8, riptide gp, etc etc. (heavy 3d games) everything is choppy for me but the choppiness is rhythmic for some odd reason

First off, what launcher are you using? I think alot of people that get lagged that are caused by a poorly written app, and assume its the phones fault. Only good way to tell will be factory reset, and run it that way a bit. All good then add ur apps back one at a time, testing it between apps, and that will pinpoint which app is the issue...

I've been getting some random gitter/lag with the ui as well, just tested in antutu got 30,000 then a second time got 26,000. Isn't the g2 supposed to get like 35k?
Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk 4

Just so I could make a statement based on fact I downloaded Riptide GP 2 to see if I got any lag or stuttering, I played 2 races with no lag or slowdown. Then I went into the graphic settings but everything was already maxed out by default, I ended up playing for 20 more minutes and its a very fun game lol. So yep it just went thru the game like butter the way you would expect it to..

iphone 3s is beating my lg g2....

I hate to admit it but.. my phone before gnexus, which was iphone 3gs, is beating my lg g2 in terms of overall speed. Every button i press takes noticeably longer to register and always seems to be the case with every android phone i owned unless its freshly wiped....
How does this even make sense? the sheer hardware..... even with gnexus, i must have tried 20 roms and they didnt vary much. Screen size, hardware, camera, customizability all means nothing if the phone is damn slow no matter which gen/os/rom im using....
Who else experiences this?

Never experienced this. My friend had a 3Gs and even compared to my iPhone 4 at the time it was super slow and laggy. Not sure why your phones lag but my G2 is the smoothest and fastest phone I've ever had.

you're telling me, when you press recent tabs and click an app, it opens up immediately? no no jitters and lag?

Yeah pretty instant. I haven't experienced any lag like I did with my GS3.

The only app I hate now is the official YouTube app, it takes about 3 sec before lunching.
But most of the apps open instantly.

I am using DROID Dna, not lg g2. So I don't know if it's the same case as lg g2.

My G2 is insanely fast. Every normal task is instant. YouTube is slow yes. But that must be bad coding. I have a 3GS I got free from work. And I can't use it because its so damn slow.

Sounds a bit odd considering every and I mean every review gives this phone high marks for performance and how it never lags. And a 3gs of all to try to compare this to. Now that is a complete load of crap.
Being that I have had every phone in the last 3years (check my posts) I can say without a doubt this has been one of the best. The only phone that has been better in fluidity was or is my droid maxx. (New one that is.)
You obviously have a defective phone if a 3gs is beating it in terms of performance.

I was recently playing around with an iPhone 4s and besides the (compared to the G2) tiny screen it also reacted notably slower than my G2 to every task and input. As was said before, only a screwed up G2 can be slower than an iPhone other than maybe the newest.

The speed is still same, now there is just a gap of inactivity and more noticeable lag. My device scores around 34000 in antutu ..... it's frustrating how long simple tasks like opening up recents panel to clicking one and to get it to open. Doesn't even compare to iphone 3s.
O yeah, I noticed when i click recent apps nav button, it shows an image of no recent apps for a split second and then shows up my apps. Is this normal?
