I have galaxy s since last one year and i love it... However my phone has become very slow these days.. I tried several roms and kernels.. Formatted both internal and external SD cards... But still it is very slow... I remember that I dropped it 3-4 times... Is it because of it?
Can someone suggest me please... What should I do...

Maybe over clock it ...? I thought the new ROMs would have helped. It could be the fact that your phone is older now and some internal hardware has been worn out

I'm no expert so I'm not sure. Best bet would be to replace the hardware which Costs a ton of money. Its better to just a get a new phone. Either that or maybe mess around with new ROMs some more. Maybe you are wiping your phone incorrectly or maybe you use it too much

my suggest...
1. update your firmware to last version (2.3.6).
2. try to change kernel and custom rom.
3. maybe, with some different kernel and custom rom, you can choice the better option for your device. for example, try using kernel semaphore (gingerbread) and custom rom F1 or other.
I would be very surprised if physical trauma has simply caused a slow-down in speed. It would more likely show itself as random reboots and other more obvious symptoms.
Much like Windows, after a lot of use, it slows down - you have said that you've flashed other roms, maybe you just haven't come across a good one; there are after all a lot of different ones...
I would suggest the deodex-ed / rooted stock rom from RAMAD Gingerbread JVT. As I remember it was always quite stable and fast.
The hardware components inside a modern phone will not wear-out after a year - they are not moving parts! - when ram or a processor wears out it usually results in total system crashing not just a slow down.
Thank you all for your feedbacks and suggestions. I use my phone a lot. Usually i use TV out a lot as i do not have a cable connection in my hostel room. I use my phone a lot. I flashed it atleast more than 100 times. I have not seen any reboots, crashed , soft reboots etc very often. When i use MIUI rom my phone is very fast indeed however , it does not have a TV Out and therefore i have to use a stock based rom.. i will try Rammad's GB Rom as per your suggestion and will report back. As i told you that i dropped it a couple of times, is it possible that any of the Internal components have become loose?
Have you ever tried Advanced task killer? Or even killed tasks?

Try ICSSGS RC 4.2. I had the same situation as you. It was fine for one year and I was using Darky rom by that time. Suddenly I started feeling that my phone is too slow. Lot of stuck. Sometimes I had to remove battery just to restart.
Now running above ICS rom with Devil 14.2 Kernel its rocking ...
yeah I'd suggest u the advanced taskkiller too
in options you can set the auto killlevel to safe, so that it kills smth like games in the background but not important apps
since then my phone is quite fast even with stockrom

Yeah, and you can just use the ATK widget when you close out of something press the icon and it kills all the background apps...
I will surely try ATK and ICS roms as per your suggestions...

keep us updated...
Just get stock jw1, flash with reparation to wipe everything, then do a factory reset via secret dial code. Now install semaphore 2.5.0 kernel. Dl superuser to get root. Now install thunderbolt tweaks the main package and the 60lmk other addon(read thread how to) . This is the best setup i can think of in terms of speed bat life and functionality. Next step look in pikachus Android optimization thread and remove the bloatware listed there, basically remove as much bloat as possible. Enjoy ur fast phone.

Perhaps you should try the ICSSGS RC4.2 with Devil 14.2 LED VC Kernel. I'm on it and its awesome, my phone lags no more and I'm using it for my primary phone.

Does anyone know if the app "Captivate Keep Alive" is compatible with ICS?
I had been using it, but since I upgraded to ICS, it launches and shows the icon in the status bar, but only shows it initially in running services, then still in status bar, but soon after doesn't show it in running services, no battery drain (apparently it's stopped) and won't close, have to force stop to get it out of the status bar.
Tried to find on the Dev site, App Brain, etc. any documentation, but can't find anything about compatibility with ICS
Unfortunately my phone suffers the random shut downs, especially at high battery levels, when idle.
Thanks
Ive heard of it not working before with ICS based ROMS. But specifically im talking about the Team ICSSGS ROM. So first, you need to tell us what kernel you are running and what ROM. Because I switched to the Glitch new build 2 days ago and have yet to suffer a random shutdown or charge death which I got almost daily with the old build. We will see if this lasts though.

Thanks,
running Doc's Master ICS V5 with the included kernel Glitch V14-B5 Kernel
I also wasn't having any shutdowns, and thought maybe it was solved with this ROM/kernel, but then had an overnight shutdown about a week ago, but still overall probably better, because when I get up in the morning and see that captivate Keep Alive stopped, and battery is at over 80% and didn't shut down, so looking better, except that one shutdown.
Ok, B5 just had a new release a few days ago but for some reason the dev didnt change the title or update the thread. He just made a post about it. I just want to be sure, are you running the kernel I have linked in this post? It was just posted 2 days ago.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23665451&postcount=965
Haven't updated to the most recent version, still the version that came with the ROM, which I downloaded maybe 2 weeks ago. Didn't see the kernel was updated, now wondering if I should consider updating the kernel to the newer version, notice he indicates Nandroid backup should work, which is nice.
Edit: not clear if the other version is the right one for my ROM, maybe should stick with the version I have.
Edit 2: I guess that's the only glitch kernel, as you mentioned he hasn't updated the title/name inn a while (on my phone the version from 2 weeks ago shows V5)

I would. Thats the kernel I am running and have found it more stable than the older release. Its a simple download and flash through CWM.
EDIT: If you are currently running ICY Glitch, then an update will not effect anything. If you are currently running another kernel then you will need to check first. Post in the Q and A for your ROM.

Thanks, I'm seeing that, just not as clear without the updates to the version number, etc. Will do.
Hi, I have a Captivate running Jelly Bean 4.2.1 (Slim-4.2.1.Beta.1-OFFICIAL) on a Semaphore kernel. It works perfectly when it's plugged into a computer through USB. Otherwise, it reboots into recovery, every single time it goes into standby, even when it's on a charger. I've tried raising the CPU speed, uninstalling SetCPU, re flashing the ROM, and nothing helps.
Is this a hardware issue, app issues, or does it have to do with the ROM or kernel? I had CyanogenMod 10.0 with a devil kernel running on it previously, and it did the same thing.

Have made you many any changes/mods?
Also, did you try going back to stock KK4 and reflashing the rom you want to use?
If it's recurrent on 2 different Roms, then it's most likely something you restore or some mods. Hardware issue is possible if it does it on stock.

No, I haven't really made any changes. It wasn't doing it on stock a couple days ago, before I flashed the new ROMs. I installed an App (wakelock powermanager) that keeps the cpu running. That fixes the problem but it drains the battery way too fast.
I'm trying to figure out how would be the best way to go back to stock.
Thanks

The best way to go back to stock is the one I mentioned, Odin one click KK4 (in the dev section).
Hi,
my lg p990 with the latest cm10.1 nightly is crashing all the time in a way that it doesnt work at all and drains the battery until you pull the battery out. i had this problem with cm10 and cm10.1 for ages and i dont know whats causing it. because of the way the phone crashes i dont have any logfile whatsoever. its just reallly annoying.
Any help ?
(pls dont answer like "did you turn the phone on?" or similiar non-smart questions, yes i did everything according to the "book", i also installed a lot of apps on the phone)

i used the version you can download on cyanogenmod website and installed it normally via cwm (with full wipe and everything)
i never touched anything related to bootloaders (just used the standard one i guess...)
Did you use stock CM kernel?
I didn't tried the latest cm nightly, but cm kernel has a weird bug causing the CPU to stick at 1000mgz all the time.
Use some apps to see for yourself, cpu spy.
I use trikster mod app to properly set the cpu.
And I recommend avatar rom, it is like CM but has a suport/option for miui themes.
Rom is super smooth and has god memory menagement/multitasking, even the stock clock alarm hasn't failed me.
Sure it has all the known CM bugs like panorama not working, same kernel bug, ect. but it's stable.

nice, i think im gonna try out the avatar rom, it really sucks having to pull the battery every 10 minutes because it crashed miserably
Hi all,
I am having the same re-occuring issue with all pure android jb roms like paranoid android, carbon rom, and CM rom. After flashing the ROM the battery stops charging. After removing the battery and putting it back on the issue is still there and also each time im getting a different battery level reading. The strange thing is that when i flash a touchwiz based rom eg; ultimate JB the battery charges normally without any issues. Has anybody else experienced this issue? I would be very grateful if some could suggest a solution to this problem
Thanks,
Flash these ROMs cleanly with the wipes. I have used CM, Asylum, PAC, Supernexus and other ROMs which have varied bases and have not faced the problem. Clean install of the ROMs should work, and also try erasing the battery stats.
re flashed rom with all neccessary wipes

I re-flashed cm 9.1 stable, I carried out all necessary wipes, it is getting charge, but it only charged 10 percent in 1 and a half hours, also the charge drops really fast. I really love the UI of these sort of ROMS but always having the same issues . Might have to revert back to ultimate jb rom.
If you can help me please do, I so badly want an aosp rom.
Try the AOSP based paranoidandroid or supernexus ROM. How old is you battery?
I thing just flash stock jb via Odin..
Then flash ROM with cwm with all procedure..
This may fix or problem..
Be aure that phone charging on other ROM(ICS)

My battery is about a year old, I flashed supernexus yesterday and the issue with the charging was present. So I flashed back to ultimate JB ROM and the phone is charging fine, it also charges fine on rocket rom, so it seems as though the issue is only present when I flash aosp based ROMs
try other kernels

having the same issue with carbon rom. wipe everything reload rom and it is fine for awhile then the battery stops charging again. swap batteries and the still doesn't work. go back to a touchwiz and all is fine. i am using a galaxy s3. funny part about it is that when i plug in the charger, the battery icon (dotted circle with text) starts rotating like it is charging but go into status and it say that it is not and the battery drains fairly fast. faster than normal use. it would be nice to figure this one out as i really like the carbon rom.
I was also having inaccurate battery readings when I'm using CM 10.2. But since I switched to PAC-Rom battery readings are accurate now, and even lasts longer than stock rom. (based on my experience) So you might want to try PAC Rom if you somehow need a custom rom, or flash a touchwiz based rom to save your battery lifespan.
