Hi all.
Have been a happy owner of a Samsung Galaxy S I9000 for almost a year now.
The I9000 has worked great until some weeks ago.
Suddenly I noticed that every movie I watch stops with a black screen after
30-60sec, then reapear after 5sec and so it goes on through out the entire video, just like when buffering a streaming video.
This happens with movies that are saved on the device (not streaming)
I´m also using my device for car navigation with Navigon, Aura etc. is dead slow.
These navigation apps worked perfect before with smooth uppdate of the maps while driving.
Now the maps freezes for 10-20sec then updates, then freezes again.
This makes all navigation useless.
I have tried to stop all running apps, restarted the device.
Have also uninstalled all newly added apps.
I´m on 2.3.3 Gingerbread.XWJVH (uppdated some month ago and everything has been working fine until now)
I have 135mb used RAM and 1,5Gb free mem on the unit.
Also have 3,5Gb free on the mem card.
Everything else works great on the device, no lag when scrolling menu´s etc.
Except for the battery, a fully charged battery last for about 6 hours.
But I´m using it ALOT for both mail/sms/navigation etc.
Batteri usage:
Display 51%
Android OS 17%
Seems to be right?
The only thing that I have change over the last weeks is that I have redirected
my work mail to my gmail, but this should not be to hard on the phone.
I´t like everything is on half speed..
I have read about rooting the device and use lag fix but I don´t realy want to do this.
Any ideas?
(Excuse my bad English)
A general solution could be to do a factory reset (WARNING: that will delete your data etc! so don't do it unless everything is backed up!) and see if that fixes it.
However, as a specific solution - i shrug my shoulders.
Do you know if your handset has branded firmware?
Hi all,
I have a new problem with my Note using the CM10.1 nightlies, that I never used to have. The music players (yes, I've tried player pro, and apollo) lag, randomnly. Doesn't seem to be any logic as to when and why they lag (phone can be used or not; tried reboots etc). Sometimes it'll work fine for ten minutes and suddenly get really bad. And get back to normal. Why?!
I've tried :
- a few different nightlies CM10.1
- Full wipe
- wipe dalvik etc
- 2 music players
- looking at task managers : CPU usage is very low, seems fine there.
- reading music files from internal memory - same problem as SDcard
In addition :
- I don't use a task killer
- Only have some very standard apps (and no new ones, i believe, have been installed recently which could otherwise have explained the problem)
- CM10.1 nightlies used are the official ones, no messing about with other kernels.
- I've flashed different versions of modems because at one point I was experiencing a laggy internet connection, that would work very fast when it wasn't lagging (H+ was stuck on uploading, and would then suddenly download again, strange). Any chance this could be related?
I never used to get that, it just appeared somehow. What next steps can I take to attempt to identify the problem here?
Thanks for the help,
Tony

Try flashing the stock rom and check if the problem persist. If not, report the issue to the developer of ROM, they might help.
Hi guys,
I've had my HTC One for over a year now and love it except recently it seems to have gone really slow / sluggish and visibly takes ages to do anything recently. For instance today in work I wanted to show someone a photo I took on my camera this morning... I went into the camera app and then clicked the thumbnail at the bottom to get to gallery and it must have taken 30 seconds to open the picture.... as much as I have iPhones, with them I have seen people click and it is pretty much instant....
I have updated it to the latest software (4.4.2) as soon as it was available a few months back and it is completely stock / unrooted etc.
Is there any way to either a) find out what is making it slow or b) get something to make it faster?
To note, I would rather not root / install a custom rom if I don't have to but if thats the only way then please do say so.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Did you install any new Apps that might be hogging resources?
There are process loggers and probably take a look at battery drain to identify apps.
I'd suggest to backup essential information (just in case) and perform a factory reset.
Thanks for the responses guys:
@gotcha69 - I install apps all of the time so it may well be this but I have no idea how to track down which one is at fault, shy of a very long process of installing everything one by one...
@davebugyi - can you recommend a process logger please? Looking at battery app usage this morning, 41% Google Play Services, 40% Android System, 5% MX Player and TV Catchup 2%... does any of that seem unusual?
Was watching a video on the way to work this morning and when I got there, pressed pause and it took a couple of seconds to actually stop the playback. I just cant get my head around a phone more powerful than most desktop/laptop computers from 3 years ago can be so sluggish for simple actions.
Definitely thinking about a factory reset - is there any way to backup apps on a non-rooted phone?
@gk141054 - I use only the built-in app in Android Tuner, but you can try OS Monitor or Elixir 2 or CPU Monitor.
For me GP services a bit too much in my opinion.
To back-up things you can use the accounts sync option on a non rooted device - copy all your stuff into a computer from SD Card, but nothing much can be done with apps. Maybe you can try HTC's backup app (can't help much, since I am rooted and using Titanium backup).
Check your media server

I've been having a bunch of trouble recently on my HTC One... some app update (I suspect Twitter for various reasons) has been causing my HTC's media scanner to go crazy, frequently hogging 25% CPU and causing 15% logcat (as measured by CPU Monitor).
I finally solved the problem seemingly by force closing the media server, clearing its data, force stop twitter, clear its cache, and delete it's cache folder (Android/data/...twitter/cache). For good measure, I also cleared .thumbnails (DCIM/.thumbnails, use ES file manager and enable hidden files).
Your mileage may vary...

I have the same lag issues on my M7 as well GK, did you ever find a solution?

I had definitely the same issues with my HTC One M7. I identified Mediaserver as the source of the problem. Mediaserver regularly scans all files on the device.
What I did to get rid of the problem is installing SD Maid (Pro) (no rooted device needed!). Scanning and deleting all the trash files that accumulated in the last 2 years freed about 2 GB of space!
Since then no lag on my HTC One was encountered!

My UI freezes for 5 - 15 seconds, particularly when the phone regains network connectivity (reconnecting wifi or mobile network going from 0 to 1 bars). It's much improved after removing FB and Insta but. My launcher is even getting closed when the phone frequently, although the phone has ~500MB free RAM.
I dropped this poor phone one too many times, so before I replace it with another z3 compact, I'm wondering if everyone else on Marshmallow is seeing poor responsiveness as well.
I did have slow downs before but not like that,I have switched to Lineage and it works very well so I don't have any plans going back to stock Marshmallow.
yeah same here, i advice you to switch to lineage, you will feel like butter on the screen.
I don't have any lags at all, no launcher refreshes or whatever on stock MM. ( I don't use the horrible Facebook application)
Until 3 weeks ago, I used to have no lags at all on my stock Marshmallow 6.0.1 Z3C. I had uptime of 50 days and more and it didn't lag. Now, it happened twice in a row that my System RAM usage grew in last 5 days to 1,3 GB! It seems like a memory leak in kernel space. It's hard to pinpoint particular process. The phone is slow, multitasking doesn't work (reloads every app), my stock launcher redraws and the phone is unable to make/receive GSM calls - probably a symptom of low on memory state. I wonder, if it's caused by bluetooth driver, because I've transfered 100MB file on both occasions. I need more time to analyze this, this time I won't turn bluetooth on, so I can see if it is the cause.
Edit: I'm confident the cause is not bluetooth. Symptoms now appear after just 65 hours of uptime - . Now I tried to get rid of ES File Explorer, let's see what this bloatware did to system performace.
Edit 2: It seems the problem is gone after uninstalling ES File Explorer. Before uninstalling it had data storage set to external SD card. I replaced this piece of bloatware by open-source explorer called Amaze.
Thanks all. I was avoiding Lineage because I wanted the stock camera / DRM and their description makes it sound very unstable... "random reboots while charging", etc. I'll try it out anyway and add the stock camera back in if it runs well.

Do share the source of the issue if you find it. I'm still seeing UI lockups when the phone loses internet connectivity.

camera works like stock in lineage, don't worry about that. you can face with other small bugs but still worth to use, it is better than stock in most cases.
having the same issue since a few weeks.
device gets VERY slow (i mean like 10 seconds to open the phone dialer or whats app)
Even did a factory reset, which only helped for ~2 days ...
same problem with my girlfriends Z3C.
Something is very wrong here ...

there must be a reason that it is slow as hell in stock while it works with jet speed in lineage. something related to sony software, hardware is okay.
Wipe cache (Power and vol+ until 3 Vibrations) helped a little, but i don't put too much hope in it.
It's my gf's Phone so i kind of hesitate to install some unstable beta on it. Or is there any real stable release out there?
Sony haven't pushed out any updates for over a year, so not sure how you can blame it on MM build.
It'll be an app.
My money's on Facebook or Messanger.
No lags or slowdowns on my phone, had the same build on it for a year now.
Autoupdates turned OFF.
No Facebook/Messanger.

Guess you're right, but i can't really accept a SD801 Phone being unable to run basic apps like FB

Last year Facbook deliberatly broke their app, made it run slow and heat your phone up, as an experiment, to see what people would do. They honestly don't give a sh*t about what you think of thier app.
Uninstall it and use your browser, see if it makes a difference.
Try SD Maid from the playstore, that does some good basic houskeeping

Nope.
I do not have a Facebook account.
Therefore I do not have facebook or messenger installed.
But I do have these slowdowns :-/
I read in an italian forum that it's the Google app fault, you should unistall updates and disable automatic updates until it's fixed.

It seems the problem is gone after uninstalling ES File Explorer. Before uninstalling it had data storage set to external SD card. I replaced this piece of bloatware by open-source explorer called Amaze.
Now I have an uptime of 125 hours and counting, my System RAM usage is 0.90 GB and it isn't rising to 1.3 GB as it did before. So the phone is really smooth again. When I was checking my LogCat using DDMS, there seemed to be recurring message of ES File Explorer (estrong) leaking something, I don't remember if it was a window or an activity. What a piece of chinese malware it became. Interestingly, ES File Explorer's memory footprint was low (3 processes, 10MB total user space memory), even when leaking memory and this made debugging harder. Although I killed it, when the phone had problem (1.3 GB system memory), only a reboot worked. It totally seems like a memory leak to me.
GL debugging yours.
it works good with me ..
try to make clean install
I'm not going back to this crappy app. Once, it used to be outstanding, but they probably sold the app to another company in China and from there it went downhill. A lot of popups and ads for things I don't need. Their only purpose is to make your phone slower (bloatware) and optionally, to get money from you. I like simple, minimalistic apps, which do things they are designed for and do it right. Just this Linux approach and also "less is sometimes more".
It's confirmed that ES File Explorer makes network connections to China in background, no thanks!
Hello guys i'm facing a big problem with nokia 8 from day one (bought 1 and half month ago) chrome is crashing and slowing down the entire ui unitl it become irresponsive for few second. Tried already an hard reset and chrome beta but no luck. You guys have a solution? I dont use much the phone other than reading on chrome, no facebook, few youtube videos etc. I see it crashing most of the time on reddit with many gif open if this can help.
Return it so they change the phone

The phone behaves normally in all other usage?
Only chrome causes issues?
Try this, use your phone as per usual, but make a note of all the websites you have open in chrome next time it crashes or causes issues.
Then install Firefox and replicate the usage, same websites etc and see if you have the same issues.
If there's no issues with Firefox, then download something like antutu benchmarking app and run it. If the phone doesn't have any issues completing the benchmark then we can be confident the issue is restricted to the chrome app and not hardware related and doesn't immediately warrant sending the phone away (obviously there is more technical ways to monitor and test for hardware issues but i thought I would keep it simple)
Of course if it is easier for you to take it to a service centre that works too. Personally there are no Nokia service centers near me so I am limited to self diagnosis typically
Already done that on my own and no crash with Samsung browser in 5 days. Run many times antutu and other benchmark to stress the phone and didn't crash a single time.
