Kaisers slow down a week or two after flashing

Hey guys
I was wondering, I've noticed that no matter which ROM I flash onto my kaiser, after a couple of weeks it slows down tonnes, it gets really really bad interface lag and all, but after a flash it is speedy and responsive. I was wondering to what extent having lots of SMSs stored and call logs might effect this but it seems in my mind that it should be negligible.
Is this a known bug with a fix or do I just need to reflash every week?
Thanks guys

What Hard SPL version are you using?
You should be using Hard SPL 3.* for WM6.1 ROMs.

3.29 ... it's confusing
On the newest dk4 though, whatever that is. Might flash to DK5 later today if I have the willpower lol.
My guess is theres some service trying to do something with the sms messages like indexing and when you have 500 messages it just uses so much system resources everything slows down.
That would explain why when you type to search for a text the results are almost instant. But really the feature isn't that good to justify it being this slow.

You running it with zero installed apps? I'd guess something is misbehaving.
I would assume if you hard reset, the problem completely goes away? I can't imagine it being fixed by flashing.
My Tilt has its fits.. Sometimes it moves very slow and a reset may or may not mostly fix it, other times it just blazes with zero lag. If I look in MemMaid, I see no CPU hogs, ram is reasonable, etc.. Static 6M pagepool... Oh well.
A soft reset almost always fixes it going slow for me. I've never hard reset, certainly not reflashed to get it back up to norm.

Hard reset doesn't really speed it up, but return to m'facturer settings does. Unless that is a hard reset lol. Basically - turning on/off doesn't speed up but holding down softkeys at bootup and clearing off data like you do when you flash does speed it up.
I'm not running it with 0 aps though, I get the bundled apps with the roms. But really its never really mattered which ROM it is.
After deleting a few hundred messages manually, it's sped up dramatically, so I'm going to push the boat out and guess it is actually the SMSs that is slowing it down.

Well, there are several things that will help slow the phone down.
sms messages
lengthy call logs
Temporary internet files
programs that are not totally closed when you close them (check out task manager or battery status)
Things like this slow it down. Oh and a hard reset takes it back to factory.

<pedantic>Hard reset resets it back to the ROM defaults. Factory isn't quite the right word, since he's using a cooked rom.</pedantic>

It seems weird that just 'more data' will slow things down. I mean if you have a PC with a data hard disk, it shouldn't matter whether it has 1gb of files or 500gb of files, the PC should still run just as fast for everything except the tasks which must directly deal with the files i.e. search / defragmentation and that kind of thing.
I'll just remember to delete my SMS messages frequently now, I guess. Seems a shame since the Nokia N95 has no problems holding hundreds and this is supposed to be a superior phone.

There must be some behind-the-scenes processing going on with messages, and other data -- perhaps the phone has to sort them -- who knows?
Anyway when I get a message (which isn't too often) I delete it right away -- and if I need to keep it as a note or a reminder then I'll type it in as a note or as a task.
Which reminds me -- how come we don't have a context menu to turn a SMS or MMS into a new contact, note, task or calendar item??

I can confirm the SMS theory. I think threaded SMS are particularly responsible for slowing down the device. I basically have one person i talk to mostly, which has a very very long threaded sms (basically weeks of SMS in one thread) and my device got very slow and unresponsive as well. This becomes particularly clear when you try to WRITE a SMS! Typing lags, the menu comes up slowly etc. So i deleted the sms thread (left the threads to other ppl which contained like 3-4 msgs each) and it was fine!
I think the phone loads the WHOLE sms, even the parts it doesnt show and that slows things down.

HTC Touch Diamond problems

I have had the HTC touch diamond for a few months. For the most part I have liked it but now I am having problems. I get freezes like alot of people have reported but it's nothing consistent just a annoyance that you have to remove the battery just to make everything work again.
Recently I couldn't use the phone, network was having problems so I thought. Called Sprint and they said the tower in my area(only 1) wasn't at 100% so they said that could be my problem. Couldn't send or recieve calls or text. They changed my msid and also said I could try updating my rom. I had 1.09, now I have 2.00.
My main problems has to do with texting and settings for texts not being saved. When I have a open conversation and a text comes in, it keeps saying that I have a text to read but I don't(I have already received the txt during the conversation). Only way to stop that is to click on the persons name/number or leave the conversation an use the up and down arrows to find the latest text then it stops saying I have a text. Before the 2.00 update, all I had to do was txt the person abck and the message would go away(meaning I had read the txt) or just leave the conversation.
I cannot get any settings to stay saved. I keep getting like auto correct,suggestion for words and capitalization for first letter. I have them turned off but they keep happening. It's extremely annoying and don't want or need any suggestions. Half the time it's not even giving me the right word and sometimes I have to type the word, delete it then retype the word for it to just be accepted. I am also getting slight pauses/freezes when I text. Most of these problems I believe are caused by the 2.00 rom update. I did not notice most of these except for the settings not being saved. I believe that has always been a problem.
I have tried a hard reset but that didn't fix anything. I thought it would give me back the 1.09 rom but it didn't. No matter what I do, I still have 2.00. So If I am stuck with it, I would liek to know if anyone can help with these problems.
The time isn't always right. Sometimes it says I sent my text an hour before or an hour later and i get texts the same way. It's just random, nothing consistent.

90 views but no replies. Can anyone help?

Sorry to hear that no one is helping you. I been looking around and can't find a viable solution for you.
Apparently with HTC's website, it's better not to downgrade your ROM. So if you want to keep your guarantees or waranty with the phone, take it back to Sprint and they should be able to help. Or contact HTC directly.
I think that will be the best thing to do as no one here suffers the same problem as you. Hence for the no feedback.
Good luck!

Would you be interested?

i was sitting here on XDA and i saw that a user here had his phone stolen from him, and people posted several solutions like GPSTracker and latitude but the user did not have either installed. would anyone be interested in a remote brick? basically it would be like SMS commander, but you send a text that holds a password and the correct brick phrase and the phone will brick. the best(and worst) way i can see to do this would be to have an old radio on the sdcard and have the haykuro SPL on there as well. then when the phone receives the text it flashes the old radio and then the haykuro SPL which we all know would brick the phone. i am still working on possible implementation or another way of doing this(maybe run "wipe all" in terminal), but i was just wondering if anyone would be interested before i really try it out.
maybe in future if app works well our ROM devs could include in their build and then it couldn't be removed(easily). the main reason i would want something like this is so if my phone was stolen i could make it useless to the idiot that stole it.
few minor details that would need to be worked out:
won't work if SIM is changed as number would be different
if i use the terminal command "wipe all" then theif would only need to have a new ROM to install and it would be all better
on the of chance you get the phone back you would want to be able to easily fix the phone
let me know what you think, keep in mind this is a very early stage idea and i haven't put more than 20 minutes thought into it

cant lie the idea is brilliant but execution would be the make or break point, and i have a feelin this will take alot of test g1's to get working lol...and multiple devs as a team to get up off the ground. But im all for it, i have had bad luck in the past especially with sidekicks and etc and this would be a perfect idea to have.

Great idea but don't forget when restoring it (if you manage to retrieve your phone), it should only 'unlock' to a certain pass phrase pre-set by the user. If not anyone could just run the 'unlock' command to start using it again.

On the whole, a great idea.
However, I think flashing an incompatible theme with your current build would be sufficient, seeing as 99% of the people who go around stealing phones would have no idea how to fix a G1 stuck on the T-Mo/Not-Flashing-Android Screen.
Although the Old Radio+New SPL combo ensures that there will be minimal data retrieval, it also seems like overkill for the majority of circumstances, seeing as your phone would become a paperweight.

The terminal command "wipe all" will wipe the data and system partitions and crash the phone, when the person who stole it tries to reboot it it won't boot

Even if you wipe (or remove the SD card) most builds would still boot regardless. A remote kill switch has been around on many platforms for some time, hell even Microsoft have been threatening to use it on Vista for pirated builds but it has never happened.
In this case, perhaps the app would need root access, so it could remotely reboot the G1 and run a script to force a boot loop, if you wanted to go as far as rendering the mobile temp unusable.
However the G1 as it is has plenty of security flaws... I mean many of us managed to get root without issue and I'm sure any google searches will point them to this forum. There is no security for fastboot, nor accessing the recovery image so people can pretty much do as they please - If they know how.

Yeah, I don't know about bricking the phone because it would suck if eventually you did get it back. Then you're stuck with a brick phone maybe theres away around it though which could work not sure how you'd implement this though. I mean the idea is there just going to be abit hard to execute because the problem is with all these theft problems, if they have the phone off when the sms is sent then it doesn't work.

I wouldn't mind having this. If someone snatched my G1 out of my hands and got away, I would just use my friend's cell 1 minute later to make my phone a paper weight, then have peace of mind. lol

i am noting the issues, what i am planning is something similar to SMS commander, when the phone gets a text that says a certain thing it does something. if the phone is off then the text will still arrive when the phone is powered on, hell i could probably even remove the recovery screen and then the person would need to fastboot the phone.
sms commander just "listens" for the text of an incoming message and if it matches a certain phrase it runs a command. obviously i would need root, but at this point if you haven't rooted your phone this(if it works) woulud do it.
with that said, i am researching the APIs to see what would need to be done, i used to have something like this on my old 8525 and i never had to use it, but i'm paranoid about stuff like this

i love this idea, there was this time when i had sold my touch pro on craigslist but the buyer had ripped me off! so that just pissed me off!
(good name ideas)
Cold-Droid
Lock Me
Ban-Droid
Dream Lock
Use me...Not!
Where's My owner
or just a plain app called
"Brick"
This app would be cool if it detected the owners sim card so if it were ever replaced it would say wrong sim card enter passkey (which they will not know)
and if they were to ever put the sim card back in then still it will tell you(sim card has been removed please eneter passkey)
or something like that! just an idea!
kind of like sim lock but instead of sim being locked, the device will be locked!

Why you would want to destroy a phone?
Just remote wipe your data, thats enough. Write that as an app!
Not bricking!

Have you guys used/considered Mobile Defense?

So here is my idea for this application.
Instead of completely bricking the phone, make it so that if the SIM card is removed, or the secret SMS message is sent that it does a complete phone lock and displays a message on-screen stating "This phone is suspected to have been lost/stolen. Please call XXX number to return the property.". All the while sending precise GPS locations updated every x minutes to a preset Email address and/or send a SMS to a preset phone number. This way the real owner may be able to easily recover the phone and none of the information is exposed. The only way to unlock it is to put in a code to unlock it. After x amount of days without being recovered, the program will issue a recoverable brick all the while showing the same message. After x more days after the soft brick, the phone will format all ROM and be unrecoverable. By that time, the real owner would have already gotten his/her replacement G1 if they had insurance, and the thief will have a fancy paperweight.

Great idea

Is this going to get anywhere?

that'd be funny if you could lock the phone at a screen that has a customized text.
Like F**K YOU B*TICH
or maybe
If Found Contact -
ETC. and it just stays at that screen. wonder if thats possible
edit- i shoulda read page 2 haha. same idea as Setnev lol.

please someone!!!

hi everybody. im yakir from israel and i have the sony ericsson xperia for the past 6 months, as the other people who have it probably know and testify its very contradictory and unbalanced device, it's have a lot of very useful & distinctive features and attributes, on the othe hand, it not have enough performance such processing power relatively to the apps and potential programs available high quality video and graphics like online when the opera browser stucks for several seconds frequently. personally, i'v experienced many fatal and badly consequential occasions with this device, for example for more than four months i have problems with the clock, i put it on jerusalem time which is GMT+2 on the general clock, and on the second panel (the one with the temperature and the analog clocks and all that) i choose my city and put it on DST and its allways change the general clock along with the whole calendar appointments and tasks hour or two more or less, it was frustrating, not only because missing calendar items and tasks means missing money and many more, never mention have not be sure about the time, but because i was by myself in this array - theres very few owners of xperia in israel that you can be advised with, it's also not supported by the 3 major cellular companies in israel, bit except Orange that at least try to assist by HTC devices available handy which was mostly successful and this is the reason why i now subscribed with this company. even the sony ericsson official representative in israel dont give a damm - and i'v tried many times - they say that they dont know how to operate this device and they dont have it, basically a lot of bs i dont remember exactly but definitely remember the final result - they never help, and they not even try. thares more things with my experia such as that i cant do very basic thind that we regular from pc windows XP or VISTA, for example to check the size of folder or file and the general file properties very poor that even older and less sophisticated sony ericsson devices has more properties and details, and more these sort of problems.
i say all this things because what's happen several days ago was the straw that broke the camels back - i try to install an hebrew program, which, in addition to all above, make me a lot of suffer during the past 6 months, i dont remember what's happening but now when i turn on the device it's stucks on the green windows mobile screen, afterwards theres that message say somthing about turn on the device not correctly or boot problem somthing, that i can click on the volume up button to reset but it will erase all my personal data(!) or any other button to continue, of course i dont give up all this bloody data so i try to all buttons to continue - nothing happen. now i restart the device by removing the batarry and by the recessed reset button at the back of the device several times trying to save my data and i wasnt success, even wrose now when i turn on the device it's shut down after the green screen, thank to the experia for console my with two alert sounds during this tiring time before shutting down.
i called to sony ercsson in the united states for more than two hours, thay mentally kill me when they tell me that i have to loss all the data and i have no any backup for it so im dead! i try to back things up several times ago with the active sync but it wasnt successful, and back there, i wish it was be the least of my device problems...
please someone!!!

.. so you basically killed your x1 by installing 1000000000 apps.. and you come here saying you want help..
and you even blame sony ericsson for things that are with windows mobile.. dude get an iphone .. really..
And dont post in 4 threads.. just post 1, imagine what would happen if every one did that..

So wait, let me get this right: you haven't ever backed up your phone using ActiveSync, MS MyPhone or PIMBackup and you don't have the information anywhere to do a backup manually?
Oh dear! But look on the bright side - you'll never do that again!

have a question?
post only a question once
i have removed all other posts

Ermm I don't know how should I put it but I was able to read only the first 5 lines of your post then I got bored.

Hi Yakir
Looks like you're learning the hard way about the importance of backing up! ActiveSync is only one way... I've found MS MyPhone and Google's Sync service to be excellent.
Anything on your memory card is probably fine, but if the device can't boot it's unlikely you'll be able to rescue anything from there . If you have critical data, you may possibly find someone who provides a service to restore data, not sure.
I think you may have to just go for the hard reset though to restore your device, and then try some of the fine ROMs available right here to make your X1 a thoroughly pleasant device
Shalom,
Joe

so sorry to hear that
there seems to be no hope of getting back PIM
vietdoan20062006

ok.
again - i rty to backup the data many times. and again it wasnt successful..

in short: u are screwed.
use pimbackup or the active sync stuff next time.

Let it go. Your Data is gone. Move on.
Do a hard reset. This will wipe your device and restore factory settings. Hold down both left and right buttons on top of the pickup/hangup buttons, and press the power button (do not hold the power button). Follow instructions.
Next i recommend that you do one of the following:
1) Sell your device and get a non-WM device which isn't going to give you 6 months of suffering. Nokia's are good for this.
2) Update your ROM with some of the great ones available on this site. For you probably a win6.5 clean one would be best. If you don't know what ROM is, go to step 1.

PLEASE HELP

i need some help and i do not know where to go.i think my ex is in my phone. my phone will randomly shut off on its own. certain settings that i have turned off will turn back on by themselves. bank apps and social media apps will be signed out when i wake up in the morning. one time i found a video with my pictures and it was a video of me sleeping. video was all black so all you heard was me sleeping. deleted photos that has been deleted for quite some time re appear and there always pictures of me and him. my son also requested my data from facebook and there was a device listed that was name OnePlus which i have never heard of. Also i decided to grab an older phone of mine to use. i signed into snapchat account on my older phone and it did not log me out of note 8. both phones were active at the same time with the same account which i know should not be possible. i also get a ton of random texts from fake email address or numbers and the message is always some obscure message with a bunch of symbols and numbers. and they always come in right when i leave my house or when i am out and about. also every now and than i can be using my phone and right when im using it everything just stops. i cant access apps at all. i can open them but i have no network connectivity. even tho on the top of my phone it will say i have full bars and i have 5g working. and itll stay like that for sometimes 30 mins to an hour. what can i do? should i replash my firmware? to take out what ever letting him remotely access my phone? im so lost at this point. THANK YOU ALL IN ADVANCE!!

Lots of solutions...
One is to factory reset and start fresh with a new PIN.

what you can do is inform your family, friends, employer etc. that you have been hacked and it's possible they receive messages from you you actually have never sent in person. ask them to call you instead of texting.
besides that, I recommend digital detox. is your phone really that important you can't even leave the house without?
