My girlfriend's stock G2 was often acting weird where it would slow down to a crawl and become unresponsive until she rebooted. I decided to root it and put the latest stable CM7 on it for her. She loves it, but she still has this weird behavior once every day or two where it gets very slow and unresponsive. Swype acts weird for example, or she tries to launch an app and the icon magnifies in slow motion and gets frozen, or swiping between homescreens the display gets stuck half way between homescreens. Rebooting always gets it working normal again for a while. Any idea what's going on? This seems to have happened when she was running stock Gingerbread and now running CM7.
thx!

When my phone first boots up LP is non responsive until after a couple minutes, quickest work around is to go to task manager force close LP then it loads up fine. I'm on SRF 1.1.1 though it was happening on 1.1.0 as well. I do recall this not being an issue initially when i first went to SRF 1.1.0 (don't think its a rom issue). Wondering if there's a resolution out there, not the biggest problem but can get annoying. Also notice that my beautiful widget clock skin doesn't load until after LP becomes responsive (the widget loads fine but its the default skin at first).
i have same issue, just let the phone sit there for about a minute after it boots up. also try re-installing launcher pro. the new version of beautiful widgets takes a while to load the skin sometimes.
I have both of these (BW and Laun Pro) and it lags for me also.. I have noticed if I just keep pushing the home button.. it kind of kicks it in the butt and loads quicker.. or i'm very impatient.. leaning to the latter..
I was using Energy ROM (dated June 2012) and my KF suddenly locked up. I rebooted the KF and it stuck at the color tiles for at least 10 minutes before I gave up and restarted it, which didn't help. I then flash it with the latest Energy ROM and the problem won't go away and I used the complete wipe option. I also tried out Alien ROM and Hashcode's CM 10 ROM. While both of them would boot fine, I have problem with internet videos in browser. Particularly, the video control bar would pop up and down as soon as I nudge the KF. This was happening when I'm using Dolphin and the default browser. Is there a way to fix it?
What recovery are you using? Version? Not that it really matters. I'm just curious why Energy wouldn't work after a complete wipe.
To fix the problem you have with videos, simply turn your rotation off.
I believe TWRP is 2.2.2.1 and latest FFF bootloader retrieved from KFU. If I turn off rotation, wouldn't the display be stuck at 1 orientation?
LOL. Rotate your device, THEN turn rotation off. The rotation is pretty sensitive and when the media player detects a slight amount of rotation, it acts up.
OK I'm dumb =). I noticed that in the default browser, it doesn't suffer from the annoying video controls popping up and down. However, Dolphin still does so I assume it's Dolphin's problem. I'm using iPad as user agent otherwise the sites will try to get me to install Flash.
However, my original problem with Energy ROM baffles me. A few months back, I notice it was gradually slowing down and getting less responsive and completely dropping WiFi connections. So I reformat and reinstall it and it ran until I notice the same problem until it locked up for good. What kind of problem is preventing the ROM from running properly even after a full wipe install?
Energy ROM hasn't been updated in months and is pretty much dead in the water. The 3.0 kernel for the Kindle Fire has been updated many times since Energy was last active here.
I have major lag issues when pressing the phone screen (the screen turns on sometimes 5 to 10 seconds after pressing the lock or home button), and the UI is very laggy at all times, apps like the keyboard sometimes take about 5-8 to load, and the gallery app takes sometimes as long as a minute to load.
The reason for the problem:
The problem started when I was trying to up a pic on instagram and then I opened the gallery to choose a picture, the phone lagged, thought this was something usual, waited for 1-2 mins, but the gallery app didn't load at all, the screen was black so I said what the heck, maybe a random hang, just tried to restard - phone did not respond so I removed the battery and after that the phone had major lag issues, before that I did not have any problem at all. This happened on stock android 4.2.2...
Here is what I did
I flashed stock 4.2.2, did everything as usual. wiped data after flashing and the phone was still laggy as f, I reverted to 4.1.2 which was smooth as butter and it lagged also... Now I flashed 4.2.2 a couple of times and the problem still persists. Thinking of getting it checked at the customer care centre, but before this happens I'd like to try to fix it on my own.
Any ideas, anyone ?

Tried it, lag still persists, this could be a hardware problem, as I mentiooned above the big lag issues started after the crash / black screen lag happened, so I am assuming something could have went wrong in the hardware part of the phone,softwarewise there should not be any lag, because Ive triet 4.1.2 and its completely lagless, now it lags like a mofo.
Thinking of brnging it to the customer care service, good thing the phone is still in warranty.
Dunno about the blackscreen but try using LagFix (it's on GPlay).
That app helped to me solve hanging issue I had.

I am currently running the latest build of the PacMan rom for my Sprint S3, but my problem didnt start there. As over the course of a few weeks my phone has been randomly crashing while running build 7 of Slimkat. It started crashing when i wanted to take a picture with the AOSP camera (when i hit the camera button and then it would shut off). Then it progressed to just crashing trying to use accuweather, or even when the screen was auto-rotating in my SMS app. So finally i just backed up my important bits and made a clean wipe into Wicked X 8.0 TW rom (because i'm on Ting and TW roms initially work on their network and wanted to export, or to just copy down the settings of, the APN xml to use in AOSP roms). After playing around with that for 20 minutes, i didn't experience any fc's or reboots. Though i did not use the camera in that time (i forgot to check). To which i then wiped it into PacMan rom that im at now. Which at the moment seems fine to do everything, except it will shut off if i want to OPEN the camera (doesn't let me use it at all). Plus i did have it crash once rotating with the play store up...
So im kinda lost, i wonder if this is just an issue with the camera in the rom, or if it might be a bigger issue with the phone itself. As ive been having the same random error's with two roms and i dont see anyone having FC's with pacman rom with the camera.
more testing done
So i have also attempted to odin completely back to stock and i have a stock rooted rom with nothing touched. The sudden shut-offs still happen and occur randomly. I installed logcat and what seems to be throwing error's is the accelerometer. Plus at first when i flash a new rom it seems to work ok with no problems for the first day, then suddenly start showing symptoms the next. Plus ive had it shut off during bootup too while going through the sprint 4g animation screen. Though i have not had it die on me in recovery, so thats a thing.... Plus it will rotate no problem half the time, and then ive seen it die rotating to use my keyboard.
So at this point i feel like its actually a hardware option. If it is the accelerometer, is it easy to fix (i guess re solder the connections if they're broke?)? or should i just try and replace the main board?
I just got the Nexus 5X some 2-3 weeks ago. First week or two was smooth sailing after setting up the phone as a brand new phone in the initial setup process. I did not restore a backup from a previous phone.
Since then, I've had occasional freezing of apps like the homescreen freezes momentarily and becomes black and unresponsive only to be back to normal shortly thereafter. Likewise I had freezes with Google Music and Chrome. Today however has been my worst attack of freezing. I am reading some articles on Chrome and the bloody thing freezes like crazy. Scrolling is unresponsive and very rough, the interface becomes unresponsive. Home/Back/Recents buttons become unresponsive. I am not sure if the websites are at fault, they are salon.com and huffingtonpost.com that I am reading. And this issue seems very pronounced and doesn't go away in a short while like before. I still have the problem after like 10-15 minutes. Looks like other apps like Facebook are mostly okay, although I see a occasional slow down there.
I note that I am charging my phone while doing this browsing and I am wondering if the heating up of the phone due to charging is causing issues. Is this what people refer to as lag on this phone? Is there a solution?
EDIT: I used an app called "CPU temp" and saw the temperature to be around 39-40C. Also, I read elsewhere on XDA that the CPU is throttled at around 37C in the default kernel. So could this be why I saw all that lag? Now I don't seem to have any issues with Chrome anymore and I can navigate any page including on Salon.com fairly well although Salon is still a bit laggy on not just this but other phones I have, so their website may also have some issues.
