I am having issues with my Clock-Weather widget which is giving me an hour less. I read somewhere that clearing the cache of the clock and weather app and widget would help..so I did, and restarted the phone.
Since then, my phone has been painfully slow. Like freezing and stuff. Slow turning on, delays and stuff. I don't get it. Any help here?

I've had my Verizon Galaxy Nexus since launch day with 0 issues until yesterday -- completely stock, not rooted. I woke up, it was charging overnight and the power button wouldn't wake it up. After battery pull it came back, and I confirmed that the battery was full.
This morning I woke up, woke the screen up to check something and it was ok. A few minutes later I unplugged it from the charger, the notification light was blinking so I pressed the power button and nothing. It wouldn't come back until I pulled the battery again.
I found this link and tried to clear data for System UI -- and noticed that most apps including System UI say "Computing..." forever for storage and cache sizes in the App Info page, making it impossible to clear data. Some, not all, have a total size listed in the application list, but when you tap on them for the full info everything says "Computing..." forever.
I also tried to uninstall an app (Dead Pixel Test, it was one of the apps with the missing storage info) and it took 10+ minutes to uninstall.
Don't know what to do besides a factory reset, but I don't want to blindly reset without figuring out what caused it in the first place -- I obviously don't want to lose my app data and settings and have to do it again in a few months.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas on what I can do short of a factory reset?

Found the culprit!
In case anyone finds this looking for a solution to the same issue, I found the culprit, it was Google Currents. It had left thousands and thousands of cache files on the sdcard, and the GNex was battling through them every time it wanted to do anything with storage. Uninstalling it wasn't enough, I had to delete the tons of files left in /sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.apps.currents manually. Now uninstalls and App Info pages work just fine.
I'm trying to get my calendar(s) working and ran, face-first into the "computing..." loop. I do have Currents installed, though I never use it (it is horrible).
the number and density of the files it creates is stunning. I'm deleting these folders a dozen or so at a time and, well, this is gonna take a while, but I do hope it clears up the issues with App Info as you've indicated.
Thanks for the tip.
For the record, using a combination of Astro, ES File Explorer, most of my battery, time, patience, cursing, and venting, I solved the issue.
Completely removing all of the cache from the SD allowed me to remove the Google Currents app.
Removing the Currents app let me clear the data on both the Calendar Storage and Calendar app.
Clearing the data and re-syncing led to my calendar working again with all (8-9) calendars I have.
Thanks to the OP for this excellent suggestion!
Boo to Google Currents for being terrible on Android (and iOS)
Same issue with TripAdvisor
TripAdvisor also generates 100s or 1000s of files and causes the same problem - clearing Cache fixes it
I have had a problem that's grown worse over time with my G2. I've noticed the phone will be snappy, fresh after flashing, but over time, it will start to slow down. I chalked it up to it just needing a good flash every once in a while. However, it's gotten to the point it will become laggy/unresponsive within a day or two now. During these periods of lag I have managed to make it struggle to the running applications screen, where I have noticed that the lag is correlated with background applications restarting themselves. Google maps, Google Voice, and Waze are usually restarting (sometimes a few times before becoming stable), and I think Imo messenger might be doing the same. Once all the background apps are done restarting, everything returns to normal. I notice these apps all require some sort of radio use, and that the app I am actively using usually will only slow down, but not crash.

I have very similar issue. Soundhound oo, maps, Droid are trying to restart when it happens... I think it might be because we run out of memory... but I don't know why Android try to restart those processes so hard then.
Forgot to say I have a Galaxy S with CM 10.1
For me most of these issues go away once I set limit of background processes to 2. Even application install doesn't hand phone as before. OC also helps I guess.
Chrome, along with chromepie extension is the best browser, but I can't stand anymore the constant 2 seconds freezing every time I scroll down a page... Does anyone know how to fix this? Is this kernel related?
When is the last time that you cleared the caches?
I've tried clearing cache and data, didn't work...
Hey all together,
I've a Problem: Pixel Launcher eats my battery since tuesday. It's always on top and my battery is draining much faster than before.
What I've done before: Deleted all widgets, deleted cahce and Data from this app.
But nothing works.
After deleting data there is a second thing what makes me angry: The bottom bar with the google search and the 5 app icons bounces every time. I can't find a switch to kill this unnessessary thing.
Is soemone here who has an idea, what I can do next to fix those problems?
Been using the phone for about 20 days now, I noticed that the alarm app is very inconsistent, that it doesn't always work. I've woken up to missed alarms 3/4 of the time and it's getting pretty frustrating. I've already turned of auto optimization in device care, optimization isn't application for the stock clock app so it should not affect it. Any idea if there's a fix for it?? I've tried clearing data but still no avail
