Hi!
I had a problem with my DHD - when I was playing 3D games it started to stutter i.e. my phone will work slow if the game runs. I checked the debugging USB in settings and the problem has gone.
It returned a few days ago, although I have checked debugging USB the games are slowing down (there're lags). I have only google account (any facebook, htc sense etc.) and I use Advanced Kill Manager.
My resources consumption in "rest" are: CPU - 3-20%, RAM - 274 MB (by Elixir), also I have free space - on phone 702 MB, and SD (class 4) 6,35 GB.
What now is the problem and how to fix it? How can I reduce the consumption of resources and although a little improve performance?
Thx for reply.
Hi. Could it be that you enable auto-sync? cause this will definitely contribute to lags if the data in sync'ing while you're playing games.
By the way, I would advice you to uninstall any task killers. It will not only consume more resources(e.g. battery) and it will also lag your device.
Today I did hard-reset (like before) and the problem has gone again.
Strange... Thx for advice
Task killers set to auto kill might slow your phone down, but using them to auto kill on say 3 hours, or never, will (in my opinion) help your phone.
Some apps might start hogging up resources and 3d games will start to lag, so whenever that happens, just kill any non important apps. Android isn't perfect with memory manegment..
Hope this helps!
my defy is just 2 weeks old and i have started experiencing trememdous lags....
its 2.2.2 running , kernel is 2.6.32.9-g0671d13 , just in case it could help in finding a solution...
1. the screen goes off on its own half of the time (even though the time out is of 1 minute) and even when i unlock it , it again goes off.. ITS REALLY FRUSTRATING
2. i have just 1 game installed, but even then the phone lags a lot, the game lags and so does the entire phone..!
3. the internet isnt getting activated (i guess thats a network problem though), anyone with a similar problem!?
please post replies as soon as possible..
well i too experience the same, mine is 30 days old...
I have disabled gps/data/wifi/auto brightness to get max battery yet it fails to go beyond 1 day even if i use max an hour of wifi.
screen going blank on it own is frustrating
moto widget for time and date does not keep current time
lag in touch even after running ATK on auto aggressive mode
defy is running indian 2.2.2
p.s. any idea if i can get data on first date of use for battery? I somehow feel a new one should give more standby life.
my phone does last around 1 1/2 days with an hours gaming....and it does keep the current date and time (as of now)...
mine too lags inspite of the ATK being on autokill.... even the homescreen takes time to load after pressing the home button ...
Might want to try getting rid of ATK.
Tasks/services run for a reason on android. When something kills them, they'll start back up, causing more cpu and memory usage than if you'd just leave the service running.
Run for a reason, but not necessarily a good one. Stock motorola/vodafone firmware that I had on my defy would run many completely irrelevant processes - VF360, newsandweather, amazon mp3, etc. Task killing isn't the solution because they just start up again.
The best way to get best performance from the phone is to install CM7.
You could try to wipe in stock recovery. Check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216982, point witch says Froyo laggy. You will lose all data.
If you find it laggy afterwards, you will never be happy with the preferments on stock froyo. Then try CM7. You will be able to downgrade to send it to warranty as I also did this. It is quite a difference.

Is it going off while you are holding it by the top, with a finger on the left of the speaker hole?
If it is the case, it is because you are masking the proximity sensor. And if you have the "Pocket detection" feature activated, it will cause this annoying stuff...
Well not to worry even mine was laggy before, i had just installed 2-3 apps. I had to restart my phone at least once then i installed cm7 rc1.5 Now its very fast and i dont remember the last time when my phone was lagging and freezing.
I guess it has something to do with the froyo and motoblur on defy that makes it laggy.
You have to have get rid of stock froyo after owning a defy.. thats the truth..
I did a readup on the ATK stuff and the excerpt from the and dev documents... well since the read i have uninstalled all task killers... (kept one just in case with all auto actions disabled)
I do hope the lag issue is resolved after moving to CM7/Jboogie3 etc
however the battery issue is a major hurdle for now as one day is too less, i probably have to take it to the service center for a checkup and/or claim warranty on battery. till them no flashing for me...
att: patriiice - even when the proximity sensor is not covered, i do experience screen blanks, almost immediately asa the power button is pressed to wake the device.
The lag presented on the Defys running Froyo is a "super nice feature" by Motorola it has an easy fix tho.
Its caused by the VM consuming all memory, all its needed is adjusting the amount of MB the VM should leave free.
There are a few ways to it:
1) Run a terminal emulator, or use GScript Lite to run this:
su
vm.min_free_kbytes=8192
(Not permanent, need to be ran every time you reboot)
2) Get Sysctl from market and do it from there.
3) Get SetVSel and do it from there.
Lag
I have that problem to. The bad thing is that i can`t answer call during the lag, it says i have my phone is closed or i don`t have signal. I`ve installed Temp+CPU and during lag it shows that the proc is running at 100%. Memory has all the time, around 130 min and 230 max. Closed all programs one by one, no change. I restart the phone and everything is running smooth and it lasts max 1 day. i have stock rom 2.2.2. (please excuse my spelling)

I also use 2.2.2 stock and my defy runs without lag... you should consider to root the phone and freeze some unnecessary stock-preinstalled apps like Kindle, Voice command, etc... the ones you will never use. I freezed about 20 apps and there is no lag at all. (I even froze Maps, Streets, SIM toolkit, and some others)

My Defy was lagging until I rooted and installed SetVSel. Now its running as breeze with Stock Indian Froyo.
stock froyo is not good but it shouldn't be that bad. there were some faulty battery issue that i have heard of before too. but in your case your defy might even be faulty. so i would suggest you get it replaced or fixed under warranty first before flashing any custom rom.
lag on defy
with rootunistaller i`ve frozen skype and yahoo and i haven`t had any lag since. If i want 2 use them "defrost" and when i`m finished i just "freeze" back the app

Easy as that...
Lag on defy
Nope. I was wrong after 3 days of normal proc usage it started again. I`ve installed OS Monitor (free on market) and there was a process the ate all my resources: "DRM Protected Content Storage". Selected watch log and there was something like "enter,delete update, uri: content://media/external/audio/media/1 ../44.... /254..."
This process is searching ur phone for media, video audio and looked like it was stucked at this folder. I`ve searched the phone for that folder but couldn't find it so i just killed the app in OS Monitor. After the process restarted at log was showing "media search finished:182 audio files found and 1 video found". Looks like that's my problem and maybe yours to. Cheers mates
so I might visit the service center this weekend to have my battery life checked.. one day life with all wifi/data/gps disabled and below average voice calls is not acceptable at all.
what is stock recovery?? and will it void my warranty???
thanks a lot guys for ur replies!!
but the thing is my phone has become even slower!!
when i first switch on the phone i have around 240MB free RAM but just after an hour everything becomes too slow, even opening of the menu! and after 2-3 hours of usage it keeps on reducing and finally reaches as low as 40MB .....
what could be causing this??
i have android assistant by which i clear cache, ram still it doesnt help....
So out of no where my Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 began lagging pretty bad. I closed all of my open apps and the lag persisted. My ram was at about 86-90% being used at one point, but even when I got it to drop the Lag continued.
Does anyone know why this was happening?? and how to fix it next time it happens?
Install a task manager to see which app or process is using CPU when lagging. Don't pay attention to high RAM usage, that's how Android works,
Reboot the device in Safe Mode and see if it persists.
If you don't know how, hold the power button and long press "Power Offf" and a prompt will appear asking if you want to reboot to Safe Mode.
All 3rd party apps will be disabled (including system app updates I think?)
You can also use WakeLock detector (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.uzumapps.wakelockdetector&hl=cs, http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...one-awake-wakelock-detector-xda-developer-tv/), which monitors the processors and screens wakes by the apps, so you can analyze, if there are any apps, that can potentially cause the problem.
Hi,
I find that widgets have become a mess after the Oreo update. I use two news apps (BBC and Guardian) with widgets. Both of them have issues with their widgets now.... The widgets do not update and sometimes they hang completely and I must remove them and place them back on the screen to allow them to work again.
I have noticed that even the pre-installed weather widget stops updating after a while....
Does anybody else see this problem?
Hi there,
This may be related to Oreo force closing background apps for saving battery. You may check Battery settings for those two apps. If it is set as Managed Automatically, try to make them Managed Manually. It should be in Settings > Apps and Notifications > Apps > (your app) > Battery.
Bests
I tried to manage their background activities manually and enabled all three permissions but it doesn't make any difference.
Also, the weather widget is not in the list so there is nothing to do about that.
The problem is intermittent and sometimes it takes several days to show up, which makes me think it is indeed related to some battery management algorithms but I can't find a way to solve the problem.
I never saw this behaviour during the year I used the phone on Android 7.0.
On an unrelated note I also find that the Wi-Fi connection drops more frequently if the signal is low, particularly when the phone is in stand-by. Again, I had never seen this behaviour before the Oreo update...
I had a G4 that I rooted earlier this year. It was great. Everything worked perfectly (aside from the battery of course). Then, one day I was about to check out of a hotel and I placed the RFID room key in my pocket next to my phone. As soon as I pulled it out, the phone completely died. I have no idea if this was a random coincidence or not but either way, the phone was dead. I tried to troubleshoot it and found a few sources that said to (in so many words) heat the motherboard for a bit and then restart. I tired that, got the bootloader screen but that was it. I tried a second time at work and unfortunately the heat gun at work was too powerful and I fried the circuitry. So I bought another G4 off ebay that was refurbished. I rooted it just fine but I'm still having issues with it lagging and freezing. I always turn my phone off at night to charge. Here are the things I've noticed.....
-Sometimes when bluetooth is connected to my car, the Play Music app will freeze and won't work properly unless I restart my phone.
-Email and text notifications come though but take forever to receive compared to my previous G4
-Sometimes when typing a message, either in facebook messenger, text, or email, sometimes the keyboard will freeze for a moment before the letters will appear
-Sometimes the phone just lags altogether
I have the brightness set to auto, battery saver at 15%. I'm also running Greenify, Servicely, 3C All in one toolbox, System App safe remover - these are to keep apps off in the background and bloatware removed - although I'm just guessing on all of the settings for these apps. TWRP and SuperSU are installed for the root. I do a backup once every two weeks, and all of my files are stored on an SD card. I had TMobile reset the SIM card (for whatever reason, they wouldn't just give me a new one)
Phone specs are:
Android 6.0
Kernal Version 3.10.84
Software Version H81120x
Any ideas on why this phone would be lagging and freezing compared to the other G4 I had?
