The browser in JI6 feels extremely laggy compared to the browser in previous firmwares. Scrolling is sometimes unusually choppy and going to the bookmarks page often takes a second. You might even see your home screen reload after browsing some heavy pages and then pressing the home button.
I started wondering if there was a memory leak in the browser, so I navigated to some pages that seem really laggy in the JI6 browser and checked the task manager. Sure enough, the browser is using 90-100MB of RAM at times and forcing other apps out of memory. If you want to try it for yourself, browse pocketnow.com (really laggy), engadget, or android central for a minute and then open up the task manager and take a look.
In an effort to figure out what was causing this, I have disabled plug-ins, uninstalled Flash 10.1, cleared caches, disabled javascript, and changed several other settings. While slightly less laggy, none of that has fixed the problem.
To make matters worse, I just received a notification warning me that database storage is low. I started browsing around and found a ~90MB file in /dbdata/databases/com.android.browser/app_thumbnails/ that comes back very quickly after I delete it. Not sure if that's the file causing the database storage to fill up or not, but it seems suspicious.
Also worth noting is that when pressing the back button in the browser it loads the previous pages instantly, almost like it keeps previous pages in memory. It wasn't like that in the browser from older firmwares. Wondering if that's what's causing the insane memory usage and lag.
Update
Looks like this is a known (by the community at least) bug that's also present in recent Froyo leaks for the i9000.
It seems to be a system level bug as it affects some other browsers like Dolphin as well.
I've noticed the same thing, but I kind of expect some aspects of the ROM to have debugging and/or logging turned on seeing as this is a leaked build.
Give it time and I'm sure someone will get this sorted out.

Asking the i9000 guys if their browser has stupid high memory usage in Froyo as well...

BAD news. Seems this is a bug affecting i9000 Froyo builds as well...

I can confirm that the browser in all the recent 2.2 leaks has some serious random memory issues causing close of almost all background apps and becoming very laggy and choppy.
Seems like either a serious memory leak or some other memory management issues.
This is not related to flash 10.1 at all as when i disable flash this still happens.

Would using a third party browser be any different? Gonna try out Dolphin or Skyfire in a bit once I get cog2.2 running.
So I guess the recently leaked (thanks to DesignGears and source) build is no newer than the previously leaked i9000 builds. Can only hope Samsung clears this up before official release.

Dolphin has the same problem so the bug must be in memory management or some kind of framework that both browsers use. Haven't tried Skyfire.
I am using Dolphin Browser HD and it does not seem to clear the memory issues.
Uses 145!! MB on the full pocketnow.com site before eventually FC'ing.
That's pretty rediculous.
I also ran into an issue where a pop up would say "No Internet Connection" and would ask me if I want to retry or ignore it, but if i didn't choose any option, the page would still load. Very annoying. This only happened to me while I was on 3G. Didn't try on wifi though. Anyone else run into this problem?

Yes, and it's very annoying. Somewhat unpredictable too. That and my cell data has been cutting out a lot for no reason, regardless of signal strength.
As far as I can tell, all the standard at&t radios suck. Can't wait to get a HSUPA radio & kernel running again. Faster speeds, and for me, better reception. Almost makes me want to go back to 2.1.
OOPS! I tried replacing libwebcore.so with the one from the G2 in an attempt to get to the bottom of this. Can you say boot loop? LOL, time to reflash and try something else. Don't worry, I have a better idea this time.
I noticed this as well and mentioned it in DG's thread. I noticed that the image quality is much higher than on 2.1 and the browser becomes especially choppy on pages with a lot of images on them. Definitely not flash-related.

[HOW TO] Fix browser lag in JI6 Froyo
Hi all,
Was wondering if anyone experience jerky performances.
I have about 10 pages of apps installed mostly games and stock apps.
When I use advance app killer, usually i see stock apps eg. facebook, browser, ebook, etc.. When I kill them all, performance doesn't improve much.
If the 10 pages are the reason, any way to know which is running in background and sucking up resources?
The performance of your Gtab is jerky coz of the apps that run in the background even if you close them they restart.. u cn use startup auditor app to increase performance... if all fails hard reset nd install only required Apps not the apps u don't use but run behind nd eat up RAM nd battery

a certain app may be using up too much background resources. try uninstalling the culprit. detct it by trial and error
I was in a similar situation until I last had to factory reset my Tab due to the whole issue with Google Apps Google Accounts not having access to Google Checkout on the Android Market.
Installed over 100 apps on my first day with the Tab (over-excited, I know ), and realized that my Tab started to lag when opening the app drawer. The problem became most apparent when I shut down or rebooted the Tab; it would literally take minutes to boot up, and often it would freeze and force close my launcher several times in a row.
I chalked it down to having too many apps, but later read that many apps start themselves up on boot even if they had no reason to (e.g. Amazon, Aldiko, etc.)
I've since only installed apps that I would really use throughout the day, but would you guys say that so long these apps do not run on startup (say I disable them using the Autostarts app), I can install a hundred or even two hundred apps without the boot up lag?
So there's no way to see which app is running in background and % memory used, similar to windows task manager?
When I use Advanced task killer, are those 'apps shown' considered as background apps or are background apps invisible?
From my RAM manager, I see like 180+ to 200mb out of 400+mb. I think that's the remaining RAM ?
Anyone knows the stock RAM out of the box?
It might be because carriers pre load crap on them

Installed the free startup app and found the culprits ... GAMELOFT games. They are huge in size and think they eat up the memory in background/at startup.
After disabling, all back to normal.

Why on earth would you want to detect it by trial and error when there is plenty of apps you can use to find it specifically?

Use a app like system panel, It will show you all the running apps and there memory/cpu consumption etc.

I just recently got a nook hd+ and rooted it, I did three full wipes for safe measure using TWRP wiped everything but the sdcard prior to installing cm-10.1.3-RC2-ovation.
I noticed it had a good amount of lag when switching home screens, opening apps, opening the app drawer, recent apps ect.
And apps would run slow and close/freeze on me, for instance I was on chrome entering in a url and everything would freeze for a sec then inputs what I entered, and with only three to four tabs open and it keep closing on me, even the stock browser.
Also when I have any background apps running like say iHeartRadio playing in the background and say Facebook in the foreground after about 20 to 30 seconds sometimes instantly iHeartRadio will close with no errors or FC popups.
I am now running cm-10.1.3-ovation (Stable) since its release, did a clean installation (full wipe) and still having all the same problems,
Is this a known issue? Did I do something wrong? Anyone else experiencing the same?
Any help is very much appreciated
I have same issue....

I have had some problems, but most of them seem to be caused by chrome. Chrome clearly has stability issues as evidenced by the near daily updates. The browser that comes with CM works quite well.

So I removed chrome and wiped both dalvik cache and cache also used SD Maid, but still experiencing the same issues.
This thing runs so slow it doesn't seem right, I mean my hp touchpad runs loops around this and it's also running 10.1 not overclocked and it doesn't crash and hang all the time
I think with me being a noob at rooting I must have done something wrong when I rooted,

I'm experiencing approximately the same situation, the system is relatively slow and my browsers keep crazing (Firefox, chrome and Opera).
But I also have another problem : the keyboard layout sometimes doesn't appear when needed, is anyone having the same issue?

i have the 32gb hd+ and don't recall having those issues but i used CWM since that's what all the devs seem to prefer. Also , i switched to the tweaked xperia rom that was recently updated. i feeel like it's snappier and i like the tweaks he made to it.

I actually have two 16gb models one with CWM other has TWRP, both have the same issues, is the xperia rom a stock android-like or a Sony-like rom? Do you think it is stable enough for everyday use?

I did when I first installed CM, but haven't really noticed it as of recently, plus I use hackers keyboard from the play store, not sure if it was the stock keyboard or it just started working better over time (if that's possible :-\)
I posted this in the Sprint HTC One forums and got little in reply, let me know whose you guys think
I don't know if this is an issue with 4.3 specifically because I don't recall if this was happening since I installed the update..but my multitasking with this phone has been horrible lately. I mean no matter what app I switch to it begins to reload, even if it's the last one I used or a light application (ex Google Now to Messaging). I already found it frustrating how upon switching apps with this phone it would show you a frozen image for a brief moment before before allowing you to interact with the actual application, but now apps are actually having to reload. I'm using apex pro and it's also redrawing nearly every time I go back to the homescreen, be it from internet, floorboard, messaging etc. Not sure why it's happening but it started like a week ago and my phone has been feeling pretty ****ty because of it. My GS4 w/touchwiz has less multitasking issues than this phone right now, any ideas on what's going on? Stock unrooted 4.3

Isn't there a specific setting that locks the launcher in memory to prevent the redraws? Are you running a custom rom or you're using apex on a stock rom?

There is that setting, but when it's enabled a notification sits in the dropdown that says to remove apex from the permanent memory, you can't swipe it away either. Really stupid, never seen a phone with that notification before, my s2 with 1gb of ram multitasked amazing. Regardless it's all aspects of multitasking not just launcher redraw, if I switch from messages to setting and then back to massages, it'll have to reload regardless of how light of an app it is.
Stock unrooted 4.3. Rebooting gives me a few days without hindrance but eventually the problem resurfaces, I barely have any apps installed and none of them are out of the ordinary.

Hi guys,
My wife has an Australian Vodafone branded p9. Out of the box, it was blazing fast. However now it runs like an absolute dog, so much lag that it would make Samsung proud. It becomes completely unusable, taking 30 seconds to load Google maps or Facebook. Android auto is also horribly slow. After factory reset, it's great for a month or so, and then the same issue. I've tried clearing cache etc, and that doesn't help. It's a major pain to constantly have to factory reset. No nougat available currently unfortunately, still on marshmallow. Appreciate any help, thanks guys.
Makes no sense MM is much more perfomance/balance than nougat but I have never experienced such behaviour neither mm not nougat... Some app (Facebook or messenger) or some kind of memory corruption... Mmmm try to boot on safe mode to see... Try to install most heavy apps... Try again a factory reset but do not restore backup.. Install one by one and last call service if problem persists

You might have an app that is causing the problem. Look into that.
take screenshot to the page "memory used by apps" and share it here
"Vodafone branded"
That explain few things :]
But beside that if phone behave good after reset, its mean that its not a phone problem but apps that are used on phone. I would suggest configure properly apps and they access to phone functions and access to network. + running stock Huawei optimization app that is really good at handling trash files and removing not used apps from memory, there is handy small widget for that.

Thanks all. I've tried all of the above. I have been adding apps one by one, and can't replicate the issue..However once all apps are installed it's fine for a full week or two, so can't narrow it to a specific app. The whole phone crawls to a halt...I've tried removing Facebook and all memory hogs, but even scrolling in the launcher is painful. Seems to be something more fundamental than a rogue app from the app store..thanks

last suggestion that we can give you is trying different ROM version, maybe that specific one have some bugs related to managing memory.
I would start with stock EMUI 4.1.1 that for now is most stable for P9, then I would try latest nougat.
Long time ago I had similar problem with Galaxy s3, and it turn out that it was not only few smaller apps(sudoku game and OBD car diagnostic app) but also most bizarre bug i had on Android: SD card bug that was installing and removing it self all the time, because custom rom that I had didnt had notification of inserting SD card -_-
