Slow / laggy device - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey there.
I have had this problem for a long ass time now but I can't cope with it anymore. My SGS is laggy. When I only browse through the menu it would freeze for a short bit every few scrolls, easily said: lag. Also when playing the most simple games like angry birds I get a really annoying lag.
The device is running on semaphore kernel and slim bean rom. What can I do? Please help, I'm tired of this.

Factory reset or go back to stock. I9000 just isn't built to run to JB.

I have noticed that I have the same issue, it will be great for about 2-3 weeks then becomes extra laggy. Is getting annoying when I want to do things and you have to wait up to 30 seconds before it does something.

Flash this and your lag will disappear, at the same time experience long battery life:

[Q] Horrible lag

I'm having a lot of problems with my phone running JVB, especially when playing games like Angry Birds with choppy video and Asphalt 5 for example is even worse. I've already tried to reset my phone to factory defaults and I've also reflashed JVB with re-partition. I've also tried JVH, but that was causing me random reboots. I'm also running DamianGTO Gold Kernel, with lagfix enabled.
Does anyone have a solution?
Maybe you should try a Gingerbread rom like honey or Tweaky.

I second that, I have been running tweaky for about 2 weeks and have no problem with games.

I've already tried WizROM 4.1 based on darky's JVH which was also causing me several random reboots over less than three hours and asking me for pin out of nowhere! I got so fed up with it i ditched within a day, also battery life was awful over 30% in an hour for just being in my pocket

anyway to fix this issue with my D3?

i go a used D3 yesterday. a factory wipe was done, and it was already rooted for me. i rerooted it because i did not see superuser. i am running adw witch does run better then stock launcher but the phone over all is really laggy, kinda like my droidx on froyo was...
this is why i wish i had an SBF for 959, aside from a factory reset again, is there anything in i can do to try and make this run better? im wondering if it is slow because of something the previous user did? and the camera takes AT LEAST 6-7 seconds to load up EVERY time, and it takes for ever to get into focus sometimes...i hear great things about this phone, but so far im not inpressed at all..
thx all
The camera does open very slow. The phone shouldn't be lagging though. Only problem I ever had was with stock launcher. Don't know why this is happening to you.

Check your apps, might have a strange one.
Sounds like something is chewing up your CPU, restart phone and then do some tests and benchmarks, see if your getting average Droid 3 performance. This phone is faster then Tegra phones in most cases including games.
when we get some roms, kernel tweaks and cm7 then this thing will fly.

By the time we get CM it will be CM8.

I ended up going through almost every app i had and checking the refresh intervals to make sure it was limited. also i would limit the accounts you have synced and if you can use the 3rd party apps so you can get better control over how it behaves vs. letting motorola settings take over.
I've had mine for about 24 hours and it doesnt lag processor wise, of course without 4G some of the higher quality data transfer will be slower.

Rooted stock 2.3.3 extreme instability problems

About a month ago I was running cog5v2 but kept having problems with my phone not ringing and getting media, Android, and wssyncmlnps failures. I couldn't take it anymore so I went to I897UCKF1 and then rooted. That's it. Initially I didn't have any problems but after a week my phone freaked out and i'm back to where I started with the same failures.
maybe this will help but it looks like the reason my phone isn't ringing is because it can't access media inside my phone. If I try to select a ringtone the phone reboots.
Thanks so much for any help possible,
Kraig

Try kh3?
10 char
The kf1 build was pure crap, full of random reboots and charge bugs. The new ke3 is full of redemption. The devs here finally have something decent to work with, so give them shot.

I'm running KH3 and its very stable, much better than kf1.
I'll have to give one of the other builds a try.
hopefully I'll get to it tonight.
Thanks, Kraig

Tegra 3 games really really slow?

I've been playing around with the nexus 7 for around two days now and noticed huge amounts of lag everywhere. From the menus to browsing and even gaming.
I tried Modern Combat 3 and it just stutters so bad and the frame rate drops are huge, even my galaxy s2 performed better than this.
I bought the new Batman game yesterday and that was exactly the same. In game play it lags and stutters too much to be even playable.
I have installed the latest update and even did a factory reset and it has made no difference. The thing is I watched someone playing Modern Combat 3 on the nexus 7 on YouTube and it was flawless, is there something wrong with
my unit or has the update done something?
P.S I tried Dead Trigger, Puddle THD, Dark Meadow and all are the same

I get lag on Sonic Episode 2 THD but nothing else, I thought this game was optimised for tegra 3?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
No lag at all on anygames. Especially tegra3 optiMized ones.
One thing I noticed though. I noticed yesterday it seemed all My games had a brief pause every few seconds. I was like wtf is going on, wasn't like that before. I started thinking something happened from me unlocking and rooting. So I look through my apps to see what could be causing it. Low and behold the force rotation app I had. I had it set to force auto rotation. So I changed it to normal auto rotation. It solved the issue. The forced auto rotation was causing issues with my games. Putting it back on normal auto rotation put everything back to normal.

Lag gone crazy

I got a replacement SGS and I can't remember that my first was this laggy.it is almost imposable to use.
I have flashed CM10.1 and back to stock 2.3.6 I9000XWJW1. But both are laggy
I did a factory reset en cleared all the cash. is there something else I should do?
Strange things are happening with this phone. If i click the dailer ot takes about a second or two to open en sometimes just closes. Well that seems to happen alot. apps open then closes at random.
When i need to answer the phone it is hard to get the swipe to move. strange
Anyone have an idea what I can try to get this think usable?
It some times feel fast end then it stoppes dead.
flash some lagfix kernel for gb. although i already forgot which thread provides it, try to search lagfix for i9000
