My desire sucks

I have TELUS HTC desire 2.1 no root or mods when I go to text everything i type is delayed and then will just pop up all at once and then when I go to actually send my text it takes up to two minutes sometimes to appear in the messages as being sent. Quite frequently it will also force close almost daily. Anyone else having a same issue?

I have this exact same problem. My Telus Desire seems to be so sluggish. Would installing a custom ROM fix these problems?

HTC desire is one of the snappiest devices I ve ever used. but I have unlocked phone so not sure If it is carrier specific . I would suggest getting a replacements or flashing. A cUstom Rom or factory reset

And TELUS promise 2.2 mid October and still nothin idk how to fix this phone its very sluggish I have unlocked the phone and using it with Rogers

Unlocking the phone will not make it faster, your carrier has filled it with bloatware or screwed the rom.
Install one of the many great roms from here and you will see the difference.

Can u please tell me how ? And do I have to be rooted ? Is there any one click rooting . Which Rom is good that must have app2sd . Sorry I came from xperia x10 , HTC desire is totally different

I have the same phone and is unlocked to Fido.
I don't have much delays anywhere yet.
I only gripe about the battery life !

Also haptic feedback causes the keyboard to be lagggy when using it. Try turning that off.

yes you have to be rooted, use the unrevoked 3 method for mine worked piece of cake follow the tutorial on here, then install a custom rom after you do a backup, you will definetly see the difference try cynogenmod, my desire is definetly the fastest ph ive ever had and have certainly not had the problems you guys are talking about! let me me know how u go

desire with 2.1 is sluggish, 2.2 is a massive speed boost and if you unroot it add ad2sd+ and some custom kernel with CFQ scheduler the speed will amaze you

im going to assume you know basic computing, like finding device manager etc?
after youve rooted the easiest way to install roms is to download rom manager from market. MAKE SURE YOU DO A BACKUP BEFORE INSTALLING A NEW ROM
then you can download a rom straight to your ph from this website in :desire android development forum and then install it via rom manager,
happy ROOTING!!!!!

Thank you soo much bro ill try that ASAP. Does the Rom u have does that have sense UI and app2sd ?

actually just tryin sense hd at moment. no camera yet but when someone cracks it, it will be the one a stick with i think, its very nice a bit unstable yet tho, im always changing my roms as get bored quickly, you'll find one that you like, and you probably get addicted to to changing all the time to once you start like i did, sort of like getting a new ph each time lol, the devs are awsome, wish i could get into that side but wouldnt know where to start!!
let me know how you go!!!

I think u should update your phone to android 2.2 froyo.

Super fast!
Not running Froyo yet, no root, stock ROM (waiting for Telus Froyo release).
Super fast, super smooth,
I find it slows down after about 2 weeks of always on, but a re-start fix's that.
I read 'droids have slow-down because of how the OS operates, so restart your device at least once a week.
I won't even bother to flash a ROM until there is a stable Gingerbread ROM available........maybe Root after 2.2 update.
Still very impressed with the device + GPS connects in 3 secs ( much to dismay of my samsung friends )

Issues with the Official MIUI rom

I just starting to adjust to the new feel of it. but it keeps restarting my phone over and over. once every 30 mins. even if I'm in the middle of a phone call.
I'm happy as hell i didn't miss my call for the interview i have tomorrow.
anyway to fix this issue. started happening after i had to flash the file that helps fix the FC of the SMS/MMS popup

Make sure you have wifi sleep policy set to never.

yes i did that one. im on the kernal is came with cause idk which kernal i should use.

There are two usual culprits:
1.You need to set wifi sleep policy to NEVER (as sultan of swing mentioned), or
2. incomplete wipe. You need to fully wipe data,.cache, dalvik cache before installing MIUI, especially coming from a Sense rom. Search this forum for the format-all.zip file. Flash it in recovery for the full wipe. Then flash rom.

hmmm...it would help if I read more carefully. I never flashed that zip file.
But if I were expecting an important call, I'd switch to a rom I could trust - probably a sense rom like Fresh or MikWhatever. And I say this as MIUI fan woman

im liking the rom so far. sad part is im a sense fan. this isn't what i wanted, but after playing around with this rom for 2 hours i liked it a lot and the stuff u can do.
i already can tell this is faster than a sense rom. 1 of the games i played on the sense roms lagged a little. but i dont get as much lag in the MIUI rom.

This. Do this.
I was so frustrated with MUIU until I changed kernals. Now it's great.

I am running Savage 1.6 CFS-HAVS-WIMAX-SBC.
I have not had any reboots and when I pulled off the charger today I stayed at 100% for over 2 hrs.

Having issues finding a kernal now for some reason.

I find Savage 1.6 works best for me but every Evo is different. Other people swear by Zen-Droid which only bootloops my phone. bcnice-stable (v7 or v8) is another popular kernel (laggy for me). The safest (?) one seems to be cm6-Snap 7.6 (don't use SnapTurbo) - everything seems to work this snap.

ok thank you bigmoogle. is this the one you were talking about http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=883455&highlight=Savage
also which do i use the CFS or the BFS. i dont quiet understand the difference between the two.

Yep, that's the kernel. As to which to use, I am definitely NOT the person to ask. In the beginning, kernels were pretty.simple but as time went by, they've collected more and more acronyms. I use Savage 1.6 CFS HAVS. I think it has SBC because the other one is named noSBC.

[Q] Delay in incoming calls

Hello,
Before writing this thread, I searched over this forum for my problem but couldn't find a working resolution.
I realized this when I found several missed calls which I didn't actually hear!
What is happening is that when the phone is in "stand by" mode (which is usually the state it is when receiving a call):
The phone vibrates while in black screen, then after 2 seconds the screen awake and show a the green incoming call icon at task bar then a second later the picture and number appears with ringtone.
So this process is taking around 4 seconds which means the caller already heard up to 3 rings or 4 when I hear the first ring.
Not to mention, if somebody is ringing once as a missed call, I will only see the notification of missed call and never hear a ring.
Now this started to be annoying, specially that some people do not wait for more than 3 rings and then hang up.
What would be the possible resolutions, knowing that I tries the "call delay" patch but nothing changed.
(using sense 3.5 on GB 2.3.5)

ive found some roms are better then others at this. i have used roms that seem to take just as long as your describing and i know how frustrating it can be so i changed. not always but i feel sense roms tend to have a slower dialer and being my main purpose for a phone is for calls and texts if one of those features isnt perfect i dont care how great the rest of the rom is. my suggestion is either change roms or talk to the dev of the one you like and see if they know of or can fix the issue

What custom ROM? Saying "sense 3.5 on GB 2.3.5" is not really enough info. As mentioned in the previous response, it may be linked the specific ROM. I've used a few Sense 3.x ROMs and never had this issue.

Sorry for forgetting to mention the ROM; lately flashed :
RunnyDrOiD v5.0 By PVTEAM
Everything else is working fine with this rom specially that it was not easy to find a sense 3.5 ROM supporting Arabic by default without having to flash the Arabic translation separately (if you know better rom pls advise).
Is it a ROM issue then?
Thanks for your replies..

and how to find that out ? I'm not yet a dev man

I had that kind of problems while using Sense 3.x roms. Our device doesn't have enough RAM to allow it to run smoothly. So sometimes it lags too much (or even freezes) and you can't pick up some calls.
You should consider using a SWAP partition (you can find a post from xT4Z1N4TRx explaining how to set it up here) if you don't already do.

I know some people will complain about me saying this
Both swap and compcache don't do too much, in some occasions it can even slow things down.
I would just recomend switching to an aosp rom or a sense rom that dosent seem to have this problem. Unless you can get the developer of the rom you're using to try and fix this. But by all meanse feel free to set up swap and or compcache my guess is that you won't get much out of it

I agree and never kept a Sense 3.x Rom more than a couple days. But if he wants to use that kind of roms, using a swap partition will make their use a little less uncomfortable ;p

Will try another sense 3.5 rom to see if there will be any changes (if you any rom which is known to be light in ram usage pls advise).
If not, will have to switch back to older sense versions.

..or to a newer version ! Sense 4.0A runs so smoothly on our device compared to 3.x versions. It's not as flashy as 3.x but it sure looks good and it will allow you to use HTC widgets.
Take a look at those topics :

True that 3.X ROMs are sluggish and lag in many ways. But I've tried Unity, Affinity, and RCMix Energized Version. As far as I can recall, none of them gave me a delay in the incoming call like the OP is describing.
I've never tried Runny, so I can't confirm or deny its a specific issue with that ROM. But its possible.

This happens to MIUI also. So I think the problem goes deeper into the ROM.

[Q] Are the relatively newer ROMS too heavy for Desire Z ?

Hi guys,
I have question regarding my HTC Desire Z .. Ever since I rooted the phone about 1.5 years ago, and have been trying out the newer ROMs, I've slowly realized that my phone is getting slower, slower, and slower .. I'm currently using a Jellybean ROM, and its *extremely* slow ! I mean, at times I receive a call, and the ringer rings about 5-6 times, and during all this time, the phone doesn't have the juice to switch to the phone app, so that I can 'accept' the call ! Ultimately the call disconnects itself!
A friend recently suggested to me that maybe the newer ROMs are two powerful for my phone, and that I need to move to an older Android version ROM, which my Desire Z CAN handle, without this much lag !
Also, I hardly have any apps installed on my phone at all, in an attempt to keep the load low .. I also use 'Advance Task Killer' regularly to kill background apps, but it doesn't really improve anything ..
What can I do to improve the speed of my phone !? I really pisses me off to see a 10-15 second lag when I call someone !

Get rid of the task killer first of all...

I dont think it will make any difference .. I've tried many different ROMs, and its always the same condition with all ... Sometimes my phone become *so* unresponsive that I just feel like smashing it on the ground ! (When I really get upset!)
Also, on another note, when I open Advanced Task Killer, it shows me the amount of free RAM on the top .. Most of the times this value is between 60 MB ~ 100 MB, and sometimes between 100 MB ~ 140 MB .. If never seen this value go above 135 MB or so ... And Desire Z is supposed to have 512 MB of RAM

just full wipe and reflash the rom

If I do that, it will initially be fast .. Even if I install all my apps on the first day, it will still be okay in terms of speed ... But give it a week, it eventually becomes slow .. very slow! .. And the odd thing is, during this week, I don't necessary install/uninstall anything .. the phone just ****s itself in somehow ... And then from then on, it remains slow, no matter what ...
I open Google Maps, takes like 15 seconds to open .. takes another 60 seconds to go to Google Navigation, and then further lags after that ..
Basically there's a lag in *everything* !
Is there a way I can see what is slowing down the phone ?!
Also, is it true or not whether an older phone, such as Desire Z, can or cannot handle a relatively newer Android version ROM ? Maybe this is why the latest Android versions are NOT officially available for phones many times, because the manufacturer knows the device cannot handle that newer Android version ?

If your rom supports ext partitions, make sure all of yours are formatted that way. Chances are you have sopme bad apps, a logcat may hedlp determin abused wake locks or memory leaks. Also you can try downloading battery batt stats or watchdog for more infor

i had a play with elitemod ics the other day & it was defiantly slower than the GB version... it was using more or less double the ram which i suspect is the real problem.....

Yes its true the newer versions are more hungry. We touched on it in one of the andromadus threads recently. I believe the issue to be the cpu. The nexus s has the same amount of ram as us and although its not as good on there as the gnex, its still good. Having bumped my lower cpu limit a notch, its much better. I also tried a few upper limits and found that 1200 to be best as it suffers with animation under that.
But then all dz's are different. Stay on your rom and bump up the lower limits a few clicks and let us know what you think.

I've noticed the slowdowns happening with negligible CPU load and no memory constraints. I suspect a problem with the kernel. At the times it happens, the phone seems to be just doing *nothing*.

Is there any other thing I can try apart from logcat ? I installed Watchdog a few hours ago, but so far it hasn't reported anything out of the way ..
What does have ext partitions do ? How does that speed up the OS ?
Also, I'm probably going to be re-flashing another ROM soon, so please suggest me a ROM ... I'm looking for maximum longterm stability and responsiveness here, so even if a ROM isn't the newest or the most feature-filled, I can still try it out ..
And what is Superwipe (read it in another thread) ?
Normally, when I restore stuff after installing a ROM, I download a fresh copy of the app from the Store, and only restore the app's data using titanium .. is this okay ?

For the sake of starting fresh, flash the ext 4 recovery and flash mimicry as your rom. Read all suggestions in the first few post on mimicry, to flash 4ext I made a thread, you'll find it the first page or so in the general section (dzhboot or something)
Mimicry is one of the best made best performing full featured ics roms for our phones, partitioning everything to 4ext (easily done through recovery) will make it far better. Other bonus tweaks will be added in.
There (in my opinion) are beter performing gingerbread roms, but I do sugest mimicry as it is amazing and the dev has laid out a wealth of knowledge in the first few posts

I'm assuming you're referring to this thread: http://www.forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1714187
Well this is the ROM I'm currently using, which I flashed about 2 months ago, which is giving me all these performance issues ..
I went through the first few pages, but I didn't find any instructions on 4EXT ... The only thing I found was in the OP's FAQ in the start, which said that you should apply ext by downloading 4ext from Play Store, if you get lags ..
Anywhere else I can look ?

Look in general section, somewhere in the first page I posted a thread called dzhboot on g2 or something to that extent, one of the first few posts I eplain how to flash 4ext recovery.
One of the fastest roms I have used is elitemod cm7, maybe try that

I have been wondering the same as the OP. I have been using andromadus and andromadus mimicry roms for the past few month. I tired cm9 unofficial but it was no different to mimicry in terms of lag. Currently on flinny's jb beta http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2005136. Lag is not terrible but too often I am looking at a white screen waiting for something to happen.
I often experience lags opening apps like phone and browser (any browser). Phone hanging when trying to make a call is particularly annoying because my wife asks "why is your phone so ****?"
I would love to have a really smooth experience like others report but even with a fresh wipe I seem to have trouble. When I try to reduce the process limit i still seem to have too many processes running. What should i look for in logcat in terms of tracking down the problem?
Maybe 4ext will sort it out? I am very loathe to go back to a cm7 rom.

Ext4 worked really well for me to speed up my phone.. I highly recommend it.

It's gotta be a certain app your installing thats hogging all your memory, I been running mimicry ever since blk released it n have had very few slowdowns.
Never had a problem receiving/making calls 'wiping' is not the same as 'superwiping' its different then just the name, I suggest you do some reading up before flashing any more roms.

i superwipe, and i've been flashing roms since the g1. I am not seeing any particular process hogging resources. this current jb beta is pretty good but still get some lagging at random.
if that were the case I would love to try and find out what it is.
it seems to me that a minority of users report lags in rom threads and are dismissed without ever really getting to the root of the problem.
I would really like to try and get to the bottom of it. I am going to move to ext4 but if there are other troubleshooting steps to take I am all ears.

Ext4 alone will make a huge difference, and most of the rest of the slow downs will be do to apps/running services which can be seen with a logcat what is continually trying to use cpu resources
If only a minority report slowdowns then either that minority has a different idea of how the phone should run/ they use the phone in a completley different way/ or have different settings and apps then most have.

[Q] Slow performance on HTC One V - Original ROM

Hi,
I'm from Vietnam. I purchased a HTC One V from the authorized distributor 4 months ago.
Generally, the phone is acceptable, except some ridiculous breezing time, especially when I connect to People (Contact List) and Message (SMS).
I have more than 1.500 contact stored on my Gmail Contact, sync to the phone. And most of the time, when I click on Message on People, it keep loading for more than 10 seconds to have everything displayed. It's obviously annoyed.
I rooted the phone follow the guideline the forum, and use Advanced Task Killer free version to kill the process whenever the screen off, but the problem is still there.
Please kindly help, or I have to change the phone. It reaches my patience already.
Thanks!

I recommend changing the phone,if your able to ...but if you want to improve this one just install a custom Rom ...they improve the phone a lot since stock Rom is the laggiest on the planet

Don't use task killer!it only makes ur phone laggy. Install custom ROM n custom kernel then see how fast and smooth it becomes.

That's exactly what I wanted to say. Even I had this SuperIrritating problem on Stock ROM... After the latest update when the Software no. bumped up to 2.24.720.1.. it was a little faster, but still lagged.
Use another Custom ROM such as AOKP if you dislike Sense or use myONEv RC7.0fx+ (really a superfast and smooth ROM, you'll go mad seeing HTC Sense running so smooth! 100% Stable!) or mySENSE RC1.0.. (I've not tested it yet)..
