I've been using CM6 for a little while now. I had a huge problem with the battery life, but that somehow just went away on its own and now I'm having just one major issue.
Over time it slows down a ton. I can barely take calls, I can't use some apps just because of how slow everything gets, I get some force close errors, etc.
Eventually it gets so bad that I have to reboot the phone, and then everything is nice and fast. But I have to reboot at least once or twice a day for normal use, and I don't see that it's necessary.
Is there any way I can find out what's slowing down my phone, or any way to fix it? I didn't get this problem in CM 508. It was slow, but it didn't get slower.
My exact ROM is CyanogenMod-6-09232010-NIGHTLY-DS
Only two questions to you:
1) Why do you use nightly builds if you want a stable OS?
2) Do you have swap enabled (which I expect, you have)? Read about swap space and thrashing, I expect this will answer your question.

I figured it was far enough along that it wouldn't be an issue
I don't have swap enabled
If you don't have swap enabled, you should try to clean caches. Go into menu / application management and order applications by size. Try cleaning caches, especially GenieWidget, Market, Browser, ... Most likely it will help

hey!
i can think on 3 things you can try...
1)Get swap enabled
2)set a bigger swap
3)try the above with a new card (make sure you buy a fast one category 6 i think they are called)
good luck
Im having speed problems also i might go back to a donut rom
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

No worries, it was well delivered and its a good slap to noobs like me to learn things quick LOL
If i ever decide to flash kernel and get a rom, any suggestions?
Let us know how it worked out
Quick one here, I hope. I flash a new ROM everyone few weeks or so and when I do it seems very fast at first then just starts to chug like no other. Happens with CM9, CM10, AOKP, Slimbean, helly bean, etc. I know it's not the ROM then. I do the standard wipe/reset and then flash the ROM, then flash the Gapps, then let it boot up and go from there. Not sure if I really need to wipe the cache partition, or cache, or davlik cache...but usually do. Why do they always seem to slow down so easily ?
I use a wiki widget, sound search, and the clock... nothing more and close apps out often. It just seems to chug when just navigating, or going through pictures, or just typing. Any ideas or good habits I should have ? Thanks !
Bad question? Anyone I can ask ? Thanks

One thing that I found to help was to reboot the phone every night. I flashed often, so I set schedule in titanium backup premium to redo my backup every night, and then reboot the phone. This dramatically helped the rom slowdown.

I agree with this. Also, all roms naturally tend to get slower after use. One reason they get slower is due to human psychology. We become used to the rom's speed, so it seems slower after a period of time. Another reason is all the data that is created after you start using a rom. During day to day usage of your phone, a lot of caches and personal data is stored, so they clunk up your system and ultimately slow down your phone. Rebooting deletes a lot of temporary caches and restarts services that may have started leaking memory, so it speeds up your phone.
So, now we have it. But we need to look at the new "issues" we're all facing. Because we're going to need some help.
The Good
We lost a lot of Blurr (thank ya Jesus!) We have a faster, better camera. A more optimized kernal for what seems like an OS with lighter thumbprint. Its fast! We can disable dozens of needlessly running apps/services. New gallery is beautiful.
The Bad
We lost the "Exit" button in the browser. Google+ is in everything with options defaulting to send anonymous usage and target ads based on our data. Auto sign-in/up is everywhere. Nova Launcher keeps getting killed by Android Battery life seems way off. Factory reset is pretty much a requirement. Clock app is super weird. Verizon bloat seems like an extra appendage that won't be amputated. Smart Actions is still broken.
The Ugly
The font is terrible. No amazing wallpapers added.
We have ALMOST a Nexus experience. What are you guys seeing with update, and what problems have you fixed? I'm super concerned that I can't "Exit" the browser. I don't like things running in memory.
I love the new update. I got it from the soak test early this week. I did not wipe first. My nova launcher has never been killed and phone is running perfectly for me since Tuesday. Love it!!!

I'm loving it. It's so fast and less bloatware. Browser can't "Exit" just like all JB roms on all devices. We also lost sleep mode on power menu. Good to see we still have mass storage usb mode. It's been removed in all Moto new lineups. This is the best ota update I've ever applied on my Android devices.
The Good & Ugly!

Just last evening I checked the System Updates on my unrooted Droid 4 and there it was! Upgraded it.
Project Butter lives upto the mark. Works smooth like butter.
Font, could've done better.
The ONLY UGLY issue am facing:
My data from the network is somehow locked, or in short, not working. Visited Vodafone gallery & they checked the settings, which were fine, but still the data is not working by the network.
NEED HELP!
Please, suggest me how I can make the data work on my Droid 4!
Please!
Currently my phone is technically paralyzed because of this issue!
Nova works fine with me too.

I have several friends and relatives with Droid 4's and RAZR's. These Jelly Bean updates have been hit or miss with results.
-One Droid 4 was a brand new phone with date code 03/13 and HW B. This phone received the update quickly and smoothly. Operation has been perfect.
-Another Droid 4 had date code 16/12 and HW A, never rooted or modded, update failed 3 times, left the phone soft bricked, had to be SBF'd back to ICS. The new update will just not play nice with this phone, so it will need to be replaced.
-A RAZR MAXX got this update smoothly and battery life has been great, no lags or hiccups.
-A regular RAZR got this update and battery life is horrible, the phone gets hot, wiping cache and data did not fix it. No prior issues with ICS.
I'm guessing that Motorola may have used different components in different batches and some just will not run properly.
the shift button on the physical keyboard likes to stop toggling occasionaly. rebooting the phone fixes it for a while.
when it stops toggling, you have to push [shift] and [1] to make a "!", instead of [shift] and then [1].
No tether apps seem to be working

The stock one works fine for me. I had to use SQL Lite to enable Wifi, but it seems to work, no problem.

yes i noticed this too. it's a little annoying but i think there should be an update to the update coming out soon. right now id like to figure out how i can reflash with jb possibly using rsdlite as i did with ics but someone said flashing to ics now would brick my d4. im getting random reboots like once a day, but i think it may have something to do with my attempt at installing lbe which sent the phone into bootloop. so i want to clear it all and start from the top.. but how?

Matter of fact, I had the phone root'ed, stock tether enabled on ICS. Unrooted the phone to get the update to install and once upgraded to JB, my tether was still working, so the upgrade did not reset the value in the SQL database.
Works brill anyhow.

Weird - I'm pretty certain it had reset for me during the upgrade.
My D4 had the stock rom + the Google Now hacked into it, plus the latest version of Hashcode's CM10, which I'd been using steadily since the Bluetooth bugs were fixed. (Around two weeks ago.) On the stock ROM, I'd always had issues of the phone occasionally (often) going crazy with background processes or something where it would heat up quite a bit and the battery would drain quickly. I also had intermittent Bluetooth issues with my car connection, where it often wouldn't connect, requiring a reboot or toggling BT, and it would sometimes lose the connection after a call.
Running CM, it stayed cool and had much longer battery life, and BT worked much more reliably.
Removing the Google Now hack to install the JB update wasn't going smoothly, so I ended up just using RSDLite and wiping the phone completely then installing the JB update manually (it wasn't showing yet as an OTA.) It's definitely faster, BUT...
The Shift key often doesn't work correctly, as has been mentioned here
Bluetooth is wonky again and I have to tell it over and over to pair with my car
Mobile data just stopped working yesterday, even after rebooting, until I manually turned off and on mobile data
Battery life is atrocious; it has been getting hot a lot and I'm probably getting not much more than half the battery life that I got in CM. Looking in the Battery info, Screen is usually the biggest battery user, but I always have it either set to Auto or to a very dim display. Looking at CPU usage shows nothing obvious. It's common for the battery to get to 95-100' F or higher. Right now it's behaving and only at 72' F - it must know that I'm complaining about it.
I'm hoping that we'll soon see (if we haven't already; I haven't checked yet) a CM based on the new kernel, so we get everything working but with the better battery life and such. Video was the only issue that I was still seeing with it.

Have you checked, that you APN still is entered in the phone ? Upgrade from ICS to JB removed my manual APN entry. I just re-entered it and all working.

I wonder why they axed sleep mode, I used that a lot. Does CM or AOKP still have it?
Sent from my DROID4 using Tapatalk
I've noticed that I'm seeing 3G/H notification in the notification bar while connected on WiFi. It didn't do this in ICS. I wonder whether that's just a cosmetic change or whether it has an impact on battery life. I've not noticed the shift problem, but the Caps Lock light doesn't seem to work any more.

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.....
