Horrid multitasking? - Sprint HTC One (M7)

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, 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

perhaps, your power saver is turn on, and the phone is not running full speed?

Power saving mode is not enabled. Regardless that shouldn't have any affect on multitasking, it throttles the cpu, it doesn't limit the RAM

Well, look at what apps are using your RAM through settings and make sure you are also bringing up the menu and looking at what is being cached in RAM

The ram is listing 1.4 GBs filled of 1.5 but under the running applications there's only a handful and they're only a few mb each. Is no one else experiencing this?

Help, tab very slow after 5-10min

After using my tab for 5-10min after a restart, my tab become very slow, to the point of it being unusable. I haven't installed any new apps, just updated some from marketplace, which I deleted. It started this morning. I'm running stock jjb Tmo usa. My tab is also rooted just to freeze some application with T. Backup.
Anyone else experience this? What could I try?

install advanced task killer and check what you have running. Kill some apps and see which helps.
once you have found the cause uninstall it and find alternative, If its a system app freeze it or uninstall it with systemapp remover.
I hardreset my tab yesterday, I kept some apps using titanium backup, only the important stuff and I have to say, it's way much faster.
I had several lags and crashes but now Im good
Ok I did a hard reset and my tab was working fine for a few days and now it's back doing the same, going really really slow after a few min of using it. I killed all apps and not even a spec faster... Is it my tab? Should I format internal SD card?

Sorry to say but don't use Task Killer. It won't help since it only lists what is residing in memory without any other useful info on what to kill.
The most you can do with it , is blindly killing them which doesn't help with the performance or might break something else. The best alternative is Active Apps or watchdog lite which monitors application's CPU usage.
A tip if you just start Android,
Try to use back button ( Close Application) rather than Home ( Put application on standby mode). If you forgot to close applications, try to use Active Apps / Samsung Task Manager to see if anything is left running and close them.
Hope this helps.
Nope, still getting random slow downs. Anyone using launcher pro? After reset, my tab slows down after a few hours. Slow to the point of not being able to do anything but restart.

Had my Tab for several months now using Launcher Pro and various roms without the problems you're having.
Are you using a custom kernel with overclocking and profiles? If so try reverting to stock speed (1000MHz) without profiles.
You could also try a full wipe and reinstall rom without any apps and see what happens. If ok install apps one at a time and test and see which app, if any, causes the problem
look in errlog
download error log from marked and see if u have continues errors.. close any 3d party apps and start the logger, then start any 3rd party 1by1 and see if it generates errors..
I'm running pure stock, us tmo jjb rom. I'm rooted but left rom alone. No overclocking either.
I downloaded log toast, anything special i should look out for? There's a lot of info, don't know what to make of it.
If It keeps happening, might just install new rom.

Ok so i installed log toast and i was monitoring all the errors on my tab. After a fresh restart, i was looking at this thing get errors for:
E BluetoothAudioGateway.cpp(2573)
Pollhup detected
It kept showing over and over and over, but no slow down...I think it was because i had bluetooth turned on.
So right when it started to slowdown really bad, keep in mind that i kept it on the home screen and wasn't using it, just connected to charger and that's it, i started getting a new error message:
E IMGSRV(2497)
PVRSRVEventObjectWait Timeout!
Anyone know what this means??

maybe the rom that you have now has defects which is quite common. if I were you I would flash to overcome version which runs better or return that to samsung for checking.

It's weird I have been experiencing the same type of things. I'm on defualt Verizon rom with superoneclick rooting. Everything else is stock. Started happening yesterday. Maybe it is linked to the update Verizon pushed out? I'm going to start looking into whether I received the update or not and work from there? Keep us posted nysoprano.

tried searching for both ure errors, came up blank, even if they would repeat endlessly it would not slow the system down that mutch. U tried a factory data reset right? guess u could flash a alternative kernel/rom and look for same trouble if so u would assume hw problems? sorry for no straight answer.
Is Advanced task killer rubbish?

Actually my experience with Advance Task Killer (ATK) is that there is never a remarkable improvement! When you kill apps listed as running sometimes freed memory report seem to be temperamental - reduced, no change, increase...
The shocking thing is that killed processes quickly reappears in the list again!
Is there a better app than ATK out there that truly terminates and frees memory?

I am having the identical issue. I have a completely stock AT&T tab (no root, no overclocking, no custom ROM, etc.) I have turned off Bluetooth, and it seems to have fixed the issue. Possibly a Samsung Bluetooth bug?

Sluggish and slow..

Suddenly my phone seems so sluggish and slow. Is there anything i can do except rebooting?
My iphone never got sluggish like this and i think i didnt reboot it for several months.
Sent from my LG-P990 using Tapatalk
have a look and see what app/programs are running in the back ground, with android you can multi task and run several progrms at once, with the iphone you cant only one app at a time.
Some androind apps stay open and use up atlot of memory which could be slowing your phone down,
Download a free app called Auto memory Optimizer and stop all unwanted apps running in the background
Hope this helps
Thanks, but you need root for auto memory optimiser. Is there a way without rooting?

Try memory booster its free an can't see anything about needing root

What apps do you have running? The most likely cause is a badly coded app that is hogging CPU cycles, or memory, or both.
Froyo is pretty good at closing apps when they are not needed. A task killer won't help if the problem app just restarts itself.

I think i have found the problem. Juice defender. I've uninstalled it and the phone fells faster and without the slowdown when i unlock the phone for about 30 sec.
Anyone else have problems with juicedefender?
yep. don't install that. i've been hearing reports that it does slow-down or cause freezes on your phone.
Ok. Generally NO taskkillers or battery savers from now on :-D
Sent from my LG-P990 using Tapatalk
you can use watchdog. it monitors apps and can tell you what app are misbehaving. not necessarily a task killer but its definitely a useful app. does not slow down your phone.
Does anyone else's music get laggy and choppy when you listen? Cuz mine does and its annoying as hell. Definetely not something. I was expecting from a super phone. If I reboot then it stops for a while but back at it in no time. I'm on cm7 and use winamp and this also happened on the stock player. I have a minimal amount of apps and plenty of ram free but music still lag arghhh!!! Oh and this mostly happens at times when I either lock or unlock the phone or scroll thru the menu.
Edit: it just stopped randomly out of nowhere but I know it will come back I can just feel it.

Music lagging seems to be a problem in CM7 for some, on some builds. I have it sometimes, but it disappears after a while. CM7 is not stable atm, it'll probably be solved in the future.

Is my galaxy note normal?

Hey guys just got my galaxy note 2 days ago. And i've noticed the battery is insanely terrible. I don't know if this is normal among all galaxy note users but well i'll post the pics and let you decide. Basically my Galaxy note sits on my table doing nothing while i use my galaxy s2. So i doubt its due to me fiddling with it.
Please i beg of you someone help me perhaps changing my kernel or something, from what i see alot of the kernels are unstable. Thanks a bunch guys the pics have been attached btw.
Looking at the image, you do have WiFi and constantly with roughly half the time with the phone awake, whether you use it or not just having the WiFi switched on is gonna have an affect on the battery.
Looks like something is keeping your phone awake. If your phone sits there and does nothing with the screen off, I got almost 2 days out of it.
Plus is your phone rooted or stock?

My phone is completely stock FOB
Ah ok that reminds me i saw a video on youtube a few guys said that the galaxy note if running on wifi really slams the battery. Ok noted.
Also one more issue i have an app killer running on my phone if you noticed at the top. Once in a while i clear the memory and it says i got like 500+mb of free memory, then for some reason later when i power on the phone and clear memory again it says i only got like 200+mb of free memory. The usage of memory seems to fluctuate randomly any idea on this?
You could try and download betterbatterystats and see what is keeping your phone from sleeping. The pictures you put up suggest that your phone is not sleeping during standby.
100% wifi fault, install GreenPower and your problems will be gone.
One more thing to disable is the voice talk wake up command:
Double click the home button, press menu then settings, scroll to "Wake up Command" and if it's enabled disable it.
after making those two changes I've gone from 8 hours of moderate use to almost 20.
Good luck!

WHY are you using an app killer? The result is that it (the app killer) kills your open apps and then Android will start them up again, and it will use more battery since it has to start apps over and over again. What's the point of having 1GB RAM if you're not going to use it?!
Android can manage the RAM itself. Android is not Windows.

Thank you very much my friends, my utmost gratitude. Will be running with no wifi, no app killer, no wake up command from that voice thing and with green power premium on. Shall see the improvements today, i must add galaxy note is such a beautiful piece of art.
Yeah, sorry about sounding like an ass, but i'm just sick of people using app killers when they don't need to

If i ever decide to flash kernel and get a rom, any suggestions?
Let us know how it worked out

[Q] How to maintain the speed of your phone

When I bought my Galaxy S 1, I had the intention of using this for a long time. Now, it's actually three years old, and I am struggling keeping it fast.
For a long time, I made sure I ran the most recent firmware. But somehow, it kept getting slower. So I thought it was because the new firmwares were increasingly more bloated, so I went back to 2.3, and stuck with that for a long time untill I started having too low API issues.
So I decided to give the latest Cyanogenmod a try again. And to my surprice, it was blazing fast!
Untill I installed the google apps, which is quite essential. But then, we are back to the old behaviour, with several seconds for opening / swithing certain apps.
My take on this is just that the phone doesn't have enough memory available to keep all the apps in memory, and therefore has to swap far too much.
So how would I maximize the usable life time? I don't want to go back to an old android as I would get the API issues, and the new google apps are too memoryintensive.
And I really, really don't want to get a new phone, because I think a phone should last more than three years, especially when it's only a software issue.
Make sure you deactivated google now.
Try the app Greenify. It can force apps to sleep and only wake up when you need them. It's extremely useful for apps like Facebook which needs a lot of ram and keeps the cpu awake.

Flash a custom kernel like Semaphore. I think it's the best out there and try v6 Supercharger.
I went back to ICS and have a smooth phone. On JB with touchwiz it was laggy from time to time and i had reboots.
Now everything is good.
Would JB without google-now fast like ICS?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
I'm quite happy with slim-ICS. It's based on CM, but stripped of any excess stuff, and it uses a different kernel. There is also a jellybean version for the i9000, but that's got a few issues. So I'd stick with slim-ics if I were you.

[Q] Moving Very Slow

I've had this issue since purchasing this tablet about 6 months ago, and perhaps it is just THIS tablet, but does everyone have the issue of the tablet being bogged down? What I mean is.....For example, if I click an app, it can take up to 10 seconds for the app to actually open. Also, sometimes the app will barely do anything once it is open, almost as if there is too much processing in the background and the tablet can't keep up.
I have next to nothing on the tablet, and I close my apps when I'm done using them. I only keep open my most used, which is usually only Hangouts and Trivia Crack. If you guys/girls have any advice on how I can speed this thing up, it would be GREATLY appreciated!
I am not seeing this, however which of the many 7" memo pad tablets are you using? I am on the ME572C. I will say that things definitely improved with one of the updates because out of the box it was slower than it is now. However I only ran on the out of the box version for about 3 hours before I updated to the current version of the software. I have never had 10 second lags during launch of an app... I do know that some of the memo pads have less ram than the ME572C and that can cause some stutter on app startup (low ram available for usage). I have experienced that type of stutter on another tablet (my old kindle fire which is on the otterX firmware and it only has 512megs of ram instead of 2gig like the ME572C.

Sorry, I have the ME176CX....I believe it is 1GB Ram. I just haven't read anywhere else that people have complained about the speed. It's really frustrating though.

It does have 1 gig of ram based upon looking it up. If you reboot the tablet from a clean start how long does it take until the problem starts occurring? How long has it been between reboots when you see this problem?
On my kindle fire otter/x before a leak got cleared up I had to reboot it on a regular basis (I had it scripted to reboot nightly) in order to attempt to prevent lag like you describe. Some apps even in the presence of a nightly reboot (and after a leak got fixed) would still take time to launch because the tablet would have to clean out the cached apps in order to get enough memory clear for the new app to run.
If you carefully choose to close apps rather than let android cache them after usage you might find that the behavior you are describing does not occur...(If you already know this I apologize, but Android by default has a tendency to keep apps running in the background, it assumes that you are going to switch back to them). Early on, people used task killer type apps to try and keep certain apps from clogging memory.
P.S. If you have the facebook app installed, disable it or uninstall it and then reboot the tablet, you might be startled at how much better the tablet might then perform...

Hey guys, I bought the Asus Memo Pad 7, model number K017, it has an internal storage of 8 GB and currently using 5.42 and I added an SD Card of 29.71 GB. I was wondering how could I release more internal memory, since I believe it's the reason why it's running so slow. I deleted as many apps I could and moved as much as I could to the SD but still not enough.
Any thoughts or tips are welcomed.
Thanks
In the last days I'm experiencing lots of problems with my ME173X-1B071A: always very very very slow (unusable) and overheating.
I bought it 2 years ago and I never had problems before.
Maybe 1GB RAM is too little nowadays?
I think I will buy a new tablet.....
