Hi,
My wife and i both have a g nex. I had ICS and no issues on my phone.. Upgraded to JB and installed the JBSourcery ROM and Franco Kernel..
I did the same for my wifes g nex. All was fine but slowly issues happened around the same time for both of our phones.
Apex launcher would force close, other random force closes, phone would just get super slow.. and than reboot.
Found out its memory. Tried a few things - (custom app start up and etc)..
I finally found a few leads today and did some tests to confirm the memory leak.
Screen unlock and after switching between different apps id see the memory start to leak.. the attached pic is what i had before it crashed.
Ive heard of fixed similar to ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1817918 )
Anyone have any fixes for G NEX?? Thanks!

I have had my Arc since it first came out in the UK but have noticed on occasions of late that it seems to have developed a lag, especially on things like accessing the gallery & messaging. Has anyone else noted this?
Nope. However I do use a cache cleaner every few weeks.

Yup, after about 2 weeks mine started to lag every once in a while. I just assumed it was because of some faulty app. So I did a clean install, and 2 weeks later it was the same again. (didn't install too many apps this time)
Mine is still great.
try an app called fast reboot....I find it speeds things up
No lag at all here, 2 months in.
Had the Arc (UK) about 2 months and in the last two weeks things have really started to lag. Have had to resort to rebooting and cleaning the cache regularly but it only takes a day to start lagging again. Wondering whether there is a CPU/ memory hog there in my app suite or a widget but haven't been able to identify anything yet. Once the phone goes below 40-50MB free it is all over and I have to reboot.
This may sound weird but my phone lags during the day and it runs super fast at night lol

After update on Android 2.3.3 i don't hve any lag. Before that I had lag but nothing to worry about. I think it was Android 2.3.2 that cousses lag.

Same here after about 1 to 2 days the phone memory goes to about 25MB and is practically not useable and need to reboot. I am on 2.3.3
I went through my apps & by trial & error ended up removing a particular app & that seems to have sped things up a bit. Also downloaded a history cleaner & used that & that has improved things a bit as well. But in certain areas it definitely still seems to lag. Have to wonder now if it is something to do with the Arc's hardware?
ok guys after using SeePU+++ i think i found the process that uses the most cpu power and lags down our Arc is "ndroid.process.acore"
not sure what it does but i believe it is the culprit for random slow downs and lag on our phone...
does anyone know what it does? can anyone confirm my findings?
P.s. I am on global generic 2.3.3 firmwre 145
This problem may be caused by a bug in the Google Contacts Sync , just as seen in this bug:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2377
In other devices like HTC Evo this problem persist

I don't have the Google Sync activated and i don't feel my Arc Laggy
This phone is incredibly laggy. Many FCs or lags when I open the messaging app or other apps... Very sad and frustrating.
One of the major causes of lag on the HTC hero was having too many text messages stored on the phone. Ever since then i tend to not let the numbers build up too much, and i havent noticed any lag problems on the arc (maybe it's a general android problem).

one of the main android apps, your keybord and other important funtions are here, so my advice : dont touch it or you end up reflashing ROM
How do I thaw it without damaging the device?
Wild guess here, go to apps management and clear data?
Did you try any free camera app from market n check if that too is freezing?
I too have this issue with my camera app.
Tried a different one from the play store as well.
Tried not restoring apps from TB.
After I do a fresh rom flash, the camera seems to work flawlessly for around a day with some reboots in between.
Then after said time, I go to try it and it locks the phone up which I then have to do a hard reboot.
I've noticed this since the October AOKP releases, Paranoid and just tried the latest SLIM BEAN rom which are all built off of AOKP and CM so I wonder if its an AOKP issue for select (unlucky) users.
I've been trying to narrow it down as to when it happens or what changes, but so far its hard to pinpoint.
I suppose my next try would be to see if CM does it then perhaps that would indicate that its a AOKP issue
Hey fellas,
So I have came upon the dreaded lag of death. I was opening up my messaging app and the phone froze and said "messaging has stopped". So I hit ok which should close the application, instead it sent me into a spiral of issues that amounted to "System Process Failure" which in turn forced the phone into a bootloop and now it has begun to stay at the HTC screen. I flashed the .312 radio a few weeks ago so I am thinking thats the underlying issue but I do not know. I am running the PAC rom safe version due to this same issue I had on kangdemnation v.5.
Appreciate the help in advanced fellas.
I don't have a fix, but here are a few notes. (currently using 320 radio and Evervolv rom, other roms may act differently but I've used Evervolv since it was available)
I always get Lag of Death within 24 hours after I overclock. I have gone weeks or months without any issues then I OC and I get Lag of Death
Whenever I get Lag of Death I reboot into recovery (4ext currently) make a nandroid Backup, SuperDuperWipe, then Restore the nandroid and everything works. Sometimes I will get Lag of Death one more time, but usually it works without a hitch.
I'm now on the 2/23 Evervolv Nightly and it works great and I will not be overclocking
I have no idea how to OC haha I just installed the PAC with aroma tweaks and thats the one I love to use but keep getting this damn issue.
Lol, that endless boot loop ended up killing my DInc2. Hopefully your phone doesn't end up like my DInc2.

Hey guys,
I have quite a big issue with my maguro for a few months now and I'm getting very desperate...
I have MASSIVE performance issues - the phone lags as hell, apps stop loading, my keyboard gets stuck - hell, I can't even write a Whatsapp message without my phone getting stuck for like 2mins... It's reaaaally annoying and can drive me crazy sometimes.
First I thought it's just a ROM or kernel issue - but I was proven wrong. I changed ROMs and kernels and tried so many and the problem persists. I did factory resets en masse and flashed the newest factory image like 3 times - the problem persists.
I hope someone does have an idea what can cause my problems. I just can't stand this lag anymore... So pls help me
Not sure which version of android your running.
But my GN runs much smoother after installing/running these apps from play store:
Greenify
Lagfix
Send from GN running ParanoidAndroid2.57 Jellybean 4.1.2 w/Tablet Mode
Maybe a silly question but did you check your storage space? I had this with stock ics and read somewhere that storage consumption greater than fifty to sixty % causes these latencies. After just cleaning up the memory the issue was fixed.
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?
