Sup,
I experience lag frequently. A lot of times I can feel something in the phone spinning or vibrating as it comes out of the lag. the vibration isn't as rigorous as the notification vibrations. Also sometimes it will lag but not come out of it and completely freeze then restart itself. The freeze/restart seems to happen when surfing the web.
I'm running serendipity 7 build 2. Its happened on serendipity 6.x also. Not sure if its rom related or just my phone failing. Anyone experience this?
I should add that I have 9.31gb available out of 13 total.

I've had similar lag and reboot issues on Serendipity 7 don't know why, but you can always just try another ROM and see if the problem persists.

A couple things that come to mind, one is the vibrating sounds like something is F/C'ing. Take a look at your applications, what is running, do you know what you're trying to run when it vibrates? Also take a look at your system resources, I get lag if I have too many items running and system mem gets too low
"Most" issues tend to be software related so that is where I would focus my attention. If all else fails, reinstall your ROM

It happens the most when I am browsing the web. I have been using xscope for a long time. First the free version and now pro version since it was faotd on amazon. It happened with both versions. although xscope could be the problem its not the only culprit cuz it happens when im not browsing the web also. Maybe I should install logcat and check it out after the next time it happens...?

I noticed today that it would sometimes vibrate when exciting out the gallery with the back button. I was a couple folders deep and hit back like 3 times so its like it got over-loaded or something but didn't fc.

Lag & auto shut down
My captivate with serendipity 7 initially seemed perfect. But after a couple of weeks of usage, it started becoming slow. I face quite a bit of lag, automatic shutdowns and poor battery. I do have a few apps running in the background, but there was no lag when i was using cognition 4 or CM7. When my phone shuts down automatically, I have to take the battery out and put it back in to restart it. Holding just the power button doesn't switch it on.

Not to be an ass but you sorta jacked my topic. I'm not experiencing sleep of death. My problem has to do with the phone freezing then restarting itself.
Just don't want more posts further veering of course and hindering a solution for me. Thanks.

Just an update...
I haven't had any freeze+ restarts since my first post. Still some occasional lag but not nearly
as much or as bad as it was.
Funny thing is I havent changed anything.

Hi, ever since my droid 4 received the ICS update, ive notciced many bugs which interefere with me using the droid 4, and i was wondering if there were any fixes for them
Could these have been caused because of the way i upgraded the droid 4? I was too impatient to wait for the ICS upgrade to be released in my area when they started to send it out, so i ended up downloading it from here and installing it manually. could that be the cause?
anyways, here is a list of major glitches im experiencing
-touch screen refuses to work for no reason some times at random. it works on the lock screen and on the power off screen, but no where else. only rebooting the phone solves it
-when typing in a field in the browser, when i switch to a different field using the keyboard arrows, it copies everything from the first field to the second one
-browser randomly seems to hang indefinitely when loading a web page. i know its not a web connectivity problem, because when i go force close the browser in the app manager it works fine when i open it again
-sometimes the phone just freezes up entirely for no reason at all, and a hard boot is required. usually happens when using the browser
-sometimes bad lag happens out of nowhere
-the game plants vs zombies sometimes will freeze and reboot the phone by itself

At the risk of sounding like a Verizon CSR, have you tried a factory reset after the install?
I know a lot of people that were having various issues with the ICS update reported performing a factory reset (full wipe) of there phone fixed most of the issues. I've also heard wiping the sd card can sometimes fix issues. I doubt that performing the update manually is the source of your problem (I updated the same way) but you could also try fastbooting ICS to start fresh. Just make sure you back up anything you don't want to lose (pictures, etc.). Good luck!

I doubt your impatience was the cause of the slowness. ICS for the Droid 4 is nice, but is pretty buggy and slow. I've had all of the same issues you've reported including some random reboots. I use my phone a lot, and have a lot of email addresses and a lot of programs in memory constantly doing things, so I'm not surprised that my phone gets bogged down.
I recently loaded up Hashcode's CM10 port onto the phone and I'm telling you it feels like a whole new experience! So far, it's pretty amazing for me, it's been my daily driver for almost a week and I'm just checking for some updates now to fix a minor issue (my Wireless MAC address changes in this ROM). If you're a power user like me, you should really try to load up Safestrap and give AOKP, AOSP or CM10 a whirl!
Note 4 Bell Canada
Updated 5.0.1
Day 3 Extra Info
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Full day at work 85% battery at the end
Google Chrome PC and Android bookmark history sync works perfectly
Wifi hotspot works perfectly every time ... no dreaded "Limited connectivity" like I used to see with the GS3
Fast charging is awesome .... with the stable battery usage of Note4 with 5.0.1 it is so easy to keep this phone charged.
Bad: My phone keeps taking screenshots when I am on the lock screen and I don't know why.
Day 2 Extra Info:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The Good:
As far as I can tell everything works.
Bluetooth dropouts during locked state drastically reduced ..... sometimes stutters once a few seconds after lock and none observed after (JVC Car Audio Unit)
Menu multitask key is just as snappy as before (I had already disabled Google talkback)
Battery life is great ..... At 6*% after a full day at work ..... my GS3 was often near zero after a ful day in the same location
I can now give permissions to write to a microSD card
Standby battery life is great ...... charged 100% went to sleep .... woke up at 98% (My GS3 would be somewhere between 60 and 70% same location)
Every app I have is behaving normally
The Bad:
I got one random Google + forced close so far (that is no so bad I guess)
Update Process: Smooth as silk, no crashes, no lockups, no forced closures
The UI: New notifications are great, a lot of little improvements including and x if you want to close an app
Performance: same as before ... great no keyboard issues yet, no issues with toggling things on and off, Chrome scrolls web pages smoothy
Apps: All apps seem to work ... no forced closes
Battery: no obvious differences ... to early to tell
Things Fixed: My bluetooth connection stuttered like crazy in the car if the phone was locked .... seems like this was fixed in 5.0.1 ....
Seems like the max volume is louder now
I'm on Bell too and my experience is very similar to yours. So far I'm very happy with the update. No problems and I'm enjoying some of the new changes.

1. Power Saving on/off from setting not working. (No changes when u slide on the slider to on/off, only working via notification toggle)
2. GPU thermal throttling for benchmark. (I'm not a fan of benchmarking, but it's interesting to see the 3D behaviors on 5.0.1 unable to perform as what it should be if the phone temperature not cold enough)
3. Waze graphical glitches.
These are some of the possible bug that I realized and it need to be fixed in the next update.
However, overall experience still not that bad. The main issue for me now is the Waze graphical glitches which force me to temporary using Nokia Here Map at the moment.
I'm on BOC3 Malaysia. You may take a look on my signature for version information.

I'm from Malaysia too. But i don't have power saving problem.
Wake did not work properly.
Recent apps slower than before. Like 2 second lag.
No more option to change lockscreen animations
Data usage unable to view data usage in short period of time.
Some features were removed after upgrade.
Only useful additional thing is smart lock

As on 5.0.1, there are Pros & Cons.
Pros:
1. The finger print now is much much better than Kitkat
2. Feel like a bit faster.
Cons:
1. The Bluetooth is not so clear like on Kitkat and time to time no voice even if still on Bluetooth connecting. (Already try to unpair and repair, still not ok)
2. A bit warmer than Kitkat.
3. Eat more RAM than before
4. After sync calendar with Kies, all calendar on device are gone but still existing in outlook calendar.
Remark: I'm on SM-N9100 DUOS
Anyone having trouble with super su not granting privilege after rooting in G ?
I hate the lag and switch between screens on the brightness slider. I've gone back to kk
My experience has been great when it works (smoother UI, better battery life surprisingly).
One major issue though. 3 times, the phone rebooted overnight. All three times, it was while it was plugged into the charger, and it was stuck on the SAMSUNG logo (with bubbles animation). But I cannot get past it, and trying to restart via holding down the power button does not work.
Has anyone else experienced this yet?
Finally. Me too. Samsung Lollipop Update Problem

I AM experiencing this. I honestly think this update has broken my phone. My Samsung Galaxy S4 - when turned on, stays on the logo screen. Luckily for you it doesn't always do that but my phone won't even fully start up so I haven't been on it for two days. I really suggest you back up your phone because there may be a chance of it not turning on ever, like mine and a few phone shops are saying I need to completely wipe it. Does anyone know how to help? It would mean the world, thanks!
Battery life pretty disappointing. getting a good 10-14 hours under light usage. Heavy usage is out of the question if I'm leaving the house.
I downloaded the update yesterday and until now I must say it's amazing. Problems I had before with kitkat are gone. The speed is much faster. It's all so smooth and flat. I like it. I can't understand why everyone has issues with it. I'm using Note 4 SM-N910F.
I recently upgraded to an S6 Edge from an HTC One M8. This phone is probably one of the best phones I've ever used. However I have noticed that sometimes the phone just "lags". For example pulling up the recents menu can take a couple extra seconds. When scrolling homescreens/settings app, it is not as smooth as I thought it should be. Chrome scrolling is pretty horrible sometimes. I've only had the phone for 7 days. I did disable most of the Samsung/Verizon/Microsoft apps. I also did clear cache from the recovery. The only remedy is to just reboot my phone which helps for about a day. Does anyone else have this issue as well?

I am also facing same issues and even sometime it feels most of the games also lags on s6 edge
Yes, my phone has serious lag. It is basic stuff, like hitting the home button it will take 2 seconds for the app icons to slowly repopulate. The calendar widget is rough, often takes 1-3 seconds for the widget to appear. I have disabled the majority of verizon apps and cleared out cache; I just did a factory reset and will try and load back in some apps but so far this phone has horrible lag. I installed the exact same apps and same set up as my Moto X 2013 and I am thinking about switching back to the old phone until some software updates come out.
i have heard about this on the smaller 32GB and there have been people that had 32 and replaced it with 64GB version that swear there is a difference in performance but i have the 64 and dont have any lag complaints.
what do you all have?

I have the 64GB version. I cracked my screen and sent it back to Samsung to repair. I am hoping they find some other problems with the phone. I have reverted back to my Moto X 2013 and it is amazing how much more fluid the UI works. The apps do not quite operate as fast (i.e . browsing, Instagram pictures, etc.) but there is 0 lag in the UI. Unless the Edge comes back running smooth I am going to sell it, the UI lag is way more frustrating than apps and browsing working slightly slower.
I received my phone back form Samsung after the cracked screen repair (cost ~$240.00). Via trial and error I am pretty confident my Calendar widget that is linked to an Exchange Account was causing my serious UI lag issues. I installed all my applications but this time used a stock wallpaper, installed Calendar Widget (started to get some lag so then removed) and did not install the photo frame widget. Now I have no UI Lag. I am pretty sure it was an issue with the calendar widget, but I am just going to stick with the stock wallpaper and no photo frame either as the UI Lag seems to have disappeared with this new setup.
When you are starting to experience lag, check how much free memory you have. When I start seeing lag, my memory is down to about 5-8%. I think this is the memory issue that is discussed in other posts. I also have a 64G device
I had spotty lag on stock ROM, but everything has been blazing on either of the custom ROMs currently available if you're up for rooting to test it out.
Not happy with the performance of the P8Lite - scrolling is jumpy and often freezes for a few seconds. Facebook app definitely makes it worse, but even after removing that, the phone is still really slow. Has anyone else noticed this, and is there a solution? I expected better performance with the specs that the phone has.

Secure all apps and settings with the internal backup app.
If your phone is not rooted, do a factoryreset. Then everything should be fine.
This phone truly sucks right now. If anyone hasn't bought their phone yet pony up a few more quid and get the Xiaomi A1. It kills this, even just playing with the two at the store you will notice the difference.
Im gonna keep this and wait for the new lineage. In the mean time factory reset still did very little for my insane lag on B182 update. I have a GPS watch and LastPass going in the background so maybe I'm a bit too much of a power user for this budget/mid phone but the ONLY thing I've found that has made it slightly more bearable is to goto DEVELOPER options and shut off ALL animations. You'll probably get a 30-40 percent speed boost on your lag.
This phone run perfectly.
My P8 has become slow over the time. Swiftkey starts to be laggy during keypressed, fingerprint unlock sometimes dosnt work and i have to wake the phone pressing the power button, scrolling has laggy peaks.
But making a backup with HiSuite and doing a factory reset gave me back the snappy phone i had.
So, i think we just need a factory reset over few month to maintain the phone snappy as he is,
I had to play with Huawei's optimizer app but my phone runs really smooth. (I have small lags/crashes but it's very rare)

Same problem here. This phone becomes slow after a couple of days of uptime. Another issue I have is that it also freezes when toggling between portrait and landscape display. Rebooting the phone helps a bit, but the problem kicks back in after 1 or two days...
p8 Lite 2017
I got my Huawei p8 lite 2017 over a month ago. It was fine for the first few days but has become very slow. Last night I had to make a phone call at the airport. The phone app didn't even respond quick enough. I selected the person to phone and waited over a minute for the app to make the call because it was lagging.
Other than that:
- As a developer, my apps run fine when debugging.
- Music streams fine.
- Chrome runs fine.
- Youtube runs fine.
- Camera lags too much for quick photos. When opening the camera app, it freezes for about 30 seconds before it becomes usable.
- Rotation lags and you can see how the screen redraws.
- WhatsApp lags allot.
For a modern phone, this surely is a step in the wrong direction.
Cheers.
I have the same problem with mine. Barely 2 months old. It worked great until the last couple of weeks.
Now pretty much any scroll or swipe action results in the phone freezing, a transparent copy of the screen at the point of touching remaining, while the actual page underneath scrolls 'normally'.
These can last a couple of seconds or minutes. Then, you try doing something and it happens again. It does this in any app, homescreen, settings etc.
At times it is almost like screen tear as well.
RAM manager says I have always got 1gb+ remaining. I rebooted, it did nothing. Uninstalled some newer apps I'd got, did nothing. I backed up the phone and factory reset it..... It worked..... For about an hour or two, then it started up again.
Screenshots do not capture it either like I hoped it would.
