Going very slow - especially returning to desktop - G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Having problems with my phone a good few months after I updated to L. After initial problems I wiped the cache after update and it made a great difference and behaved nicely.
But now it seems to have gotten very sluggish and a cache wipe makes only a very short term difference (maybe a few days to a week). It seems especially sluggish responding to Home button, with the icons for phone, SMS etc. sometimes taking up a good 10s, maybe even more, to appear.
I have 1.36GB storage free and c.283MB of RAM free currently.
Any ideas or any apps that can help diagnose?

Thanks but I'm not going to be doing that....any ideas for helping with stock?

It could be a RAM problem. If you have root try greenifying some apps, and perhaps deativate Google Now or always listening options. Try also other launcher, like Nova Launcher...
5.0.2 has some weird RAM leak

Try factory reset or reinstall stock but there is no reason to not install a custom rom which is much more better than stock

Some apps don't work with root. For example Banking apps. So there are at least 1 reason to not install a custom ROM.

Get rid of Xposed, Facebook and Facebook messenger. Use the mobile version of them.
See if there's too many apps running in background. You barelly have 1.5 GB of free space, so i assume you've plenty of apps installed. Also try to Uninstall Updates and Disable some of them under Settings > Application. You can reclaim some space and get rid of bloat.

Did you use any back-up programs (like back-up pro, titanium backup)? If so, then there's the root of your problem.
Either way, wipe, reformat, reflash, fix permissions.

Start by removing all of your widgets off the screen and try adding them one by one to see if you have one that doesn't play nice. Widgets are the cause of acore FC most of the time. Try fixing your permissions as well.
Good luck to you guys.

Anybody else have a lot of force closes on FRG83D?

Ever since I updated to FRG83D I have been having a ton of force closes with various apps like: Facebook, the market, browser. As well everything seems a lot slower like bookmarks take a bit to load and Facebook just force closes when I open a picture or freezes.
I also am not being able to unlock my phone due to the touch screen not responding or the display won't turn on at all which requires a battery pull. This occurs sometimes.
Any idea what's causing this? I'm on a fully stock ATT nexus one.

I have exactly the same issues. It's actually the first time I've experienced a "frozen" touchscreen on my N1, and it's happening regularly now.
Just hoping Gingerbread fixes it
Same here with email.apk
Constant freezes or messages that the app stopped responding and whether I want to force close.
Had a few apps that did that so I uninstalled then reinstalled. Seemed to fix it.
I don't have any problem!! I use this rooted complete stock rom FRG83D.
You can try it. http://www.mediafire.com/?bd0ira8h6rdb9jm

I have tried un installing the apps that freeze but even after that they still freeze.
I honestly dont want to root my phone yet. I want to keep it stock until my warranty is over.

Just try resetting to factory default and you should be good to go! Froyo will backup all your apps so once you are back the apps will reinstall on their own. But make sure to backup app data to your SD card if the app has that kind of option (for example launcherpro, adw launcher and card star) has in app backup option. I had some sluggishness with FRG83d but now it seems smooth!

I was hoping to avoid a full reset. I also am the 2nd owner of this phone and I read that it only backs up the first Google account. But the second one won't back up apps.

That's really strange and very weird ... are you sure about that? But if you reset, it shouldn't take more than an hour and a half to fully recover. Good luck.

Lags in O2X

Hey guys,
I'm on stock rom and I can feel the lags when I'm using the phone like when I'm using Smart Keyboard, I can feel the slowness it takes to register one key to another key.
Do you feel the same too?
Other than flashing custom roms, does freezing applications like F-secure and Car Home helps?

brutal........
Install "Watchdog task manager lite" from market to check what apps are eating up the cpu cycles. Then either change the apps' setting to reduce cpu usage or delete the app. This should help reduce the lagging.
Perhaps use a Launcher such as LancherPro or ADW which are downloadable from the Market. I choose LauncherPro as personally I find this to have least lag possible.
I'm using Go Launcher currently.

I think LP and ADW are much smoother... especially paid versions.
I see. But then when I'm typing, it's really laggy in terms of when I press on the keys, the letters won't appear immediately in the textbox instead awhile later..
Does Launcher Pro have the ability to put labels on your app drawer like the stock LG home screen? I couldn't find this option. It's a shame because Launcher Pro really is much smoother.

Did you install any custom roms?
For me, i root the phone and install ClockworkMod to do a Nandbackup. Then install Titanium to do another set of apps backup and i DELETED all the LG bloatware i.e. SNS (LG FB & Twitter), Carhome, F-Secure and others LG apps. I think delete them is better than Freeze as it free up RAM.
And with Backup on titanium, you can always restore them back if you want to, and ultimately, you have nandbackup via clockworkmod where by you can simply revert back to everything original as it is before.
After i did the above, phone is much smoother and no restart nor crash. Note: i use LP instead of the laggy LG launcher.
Custom ROM is the way to go actually. After i did the above, i went further by flashing with Fear V8.0 ROM, then reapply LG Widget (love the calendar) and apply the battery icon modification. Fear V8.0 is a super fast ROM, i never encounter a single lag and everything is so zippy, infact, hyper-responsive! Even faster than stock 2.3.3 android with LP on my Nexus S.
The only draw back is the battery drain faster i.e. 8hrs overnight on wifi drain 16% - note that i got 1 exchange, 3 IMAP, Whatsapp, Evernote, Twitter & FB all turned on. But for me, i prefer to have a super phone and charge whenever i get to do so, then having to wait and experience the lag.

Okay time to add on to this quick post at the start of the thread. I am running this on VeGan Tab as the ROM of choice. The App switches from portrait to landscape mode with a minor reload. The search look exactly the same as before. One of the cool feature is the ability to side scroll between the home screen and categories to the left and top paid, top free, top grossing, top new free, and trending. From each of these you can scroll up and down. The scrolling is just a tiny bit laggy but not a hugh issue. Clicking on an app opens a nicely laid out window which fills the entire display and is well laid out in my opinion. The one odd issue is when you click on the screen shots they only display in portrait mode. Also the movie preview streams are excellent they do not lag even on my slow internet connection.
It is my recommend for all tablet users 2.2 and higher to install this update to the app store

What I know of this update is that it is for 2.2 and higher. from the google blog...
Recently, we’ve been hard at work improving Android Market to give you new ways to find great applications and games, purchase books, and rent movies. Today, we’re releasing a new version of Android Market which makes all of these available on phones (Android 2.2 and higher).
So I take it this is not on the HC builds and it can be used on the HC builds. As with anything like this your mileage will vary. I just put my two cent worth in on the update.
Tried on Stock 3588 but no go which of course I did not think it would work.
I like the new Market however I keep getting a force close if I try to add a customized icon shortcut via Better Cut. I have to drag the app icon from the application menu & add it to my launcher bar, which is fine but I can't use a customized icon.
I am running this on Flashback rom with no problems.
Actually have two Markets to pick from for now so I'll wait and see which I like better.
Downloaded Zinio from new market and updated a few apps no problem.
Now if we can get Netflix to work on Flashback this would/will be a great tablet and replace my laptop.
Anybody try it on HC yet? I really like the layout of the HC market.
any hack fix for this version of the market
Any hack fix
Anyone tried it on Honeycomb yet?
Running BoS 6.0 Alpha nad so far no problems.

Im on Vegantab GE and I get a force close after a few seconds every time I open it. I have tried clearing the cache, clearing data, going into CWM and clearing cache and data there and even fixing permissions. Nothing seems to work. Anyone else experiencing this?

Had this happen to me but doing something different. Before you go wild and try a lot of things, I found out that this may be caused by your contacts getting corrupted. If you have Titanium backup and can get into it, wipe your contacts/account data and you'll be fine.
If not, you most likely DON'T have to NVFlash your device- just wipe your data&cache if you have CWM recovery installed.
Whoa... Nice improvements. This is SLICK!

I've ran it on flashback 5.4 with no problems, but i like the hc version better.

Yeah, the contacts don't have anything to do with the market so Im not even going to bother. Are you runing Vegan Gingeredition? If you are it may be safe to assume that the issue is a conflict there. Need more feedback from others running Vegan GE to know for sure. For know I just reverted back to the orig market and it runs fine, I don't plan on renting any movies anyway, (not that they play on rooted devices) so not having the new market doesnt bother me a lot.

the new market is awesome tho. i have it on my droid 1 with no issues. i guess ill just have to stick with the original market for now. i dont care about the movies or books either but it just looks so cool haha

P9 terrible performance

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 -_-
