Hey guys I just got my HTC One and I have read forums and articles where they say that the HTC One doesnt have any lag. Well idk if I got a defective phone or something but my One has definite lag sometimes especially on the launcher. Does anyone else experience this or is my phone F'd up?

Now and even when I was on the stock rom, the day it launched, I never got any lag. It might be caused by an app you have running in the background. I wouldnt be surprised if some of the verizon/htc bloatware is causing the lag.

How would I check this? Idk since the day I got it I've had some pretty bad lag. Which surprised me since everyone was saying that the HTC one was totally lag free

Lag is perception with recent phones. If you think you see something you'd brain believes it... Or you have a defective unit.

Go to Settings > Apps and slide the screen over to "Running" in there you can see what is currently being used by your phone. It will also show you how much RAM is currently being used.
It might also help uninstalling some of the apps you do not use, like facebook, g+ or whatever else is something not in use. Once we get the write privileges fixed you will be able to remove things like HTC Car and other apps that are installed to the system partition but not actually required for the phone to function.

I'd definitely exchange it. Are you using the car app? If not, it shouldn't be doing anything. And every review says this phone has no lag. The only time i see lag on my note 2 is when play store is updating crap in the background. Always slows things down.

Well actually I tried something and I went back to using a task killer and it seems to be doing the trick. Got rid of the lag and the car app no longer shows up on the running apps. Idk works for now, hopefully we can get this phone unlocked so I can start getting this thing to it's full potential

Is anyone else having a problem with Sense continually crashing? Almost every other time I go into an app and use it for any length of time, when I exit the app Sense has crashed and I have to watch the stupid loading animation while it restarts. It's happening really regularly.

Incredible how much ram Sense is taking up.
I figured it would take less considering it's more stream lined to look at compared to say Sense 3.
At times it feels like we've got two operating systems competing with each other for resources but slapped together.
It's definitely not ram related. It just did it again with 313 mb free.

Hi globalgpj, can you tell me how you disabled auto updates? I got my new device yesterday and I find that my touch screen and buttons become unresponsive fairly often. The only solution is to press the power button briefly to switch off the screen and on again and the response is ok.
Thanks.
I had this problem too 1st time i started my phone.
What helped for me was a complete system restore and skip the setup-wizard and do all that manually one in SENSE.
Here it shows how it was on my phone (look at 0:30)
Goog luck!

If this bothers you return the phone. Htc has had this issue since the Sensation. It will rear its head at some point. It's because Sense uses too much ram and isn't locked in memory so Android will dump it from ram to make room for other apps and then it has to reload which takes longer than most launchers. This reason alone is why I'm staying away from Sense. Try using an 3rd party launcher and it'll work better.

You don't understand. This issue has been confirmed by many people on Sensation running Gingerbread and ICS including me. Adding a line to the build file forcing Sense to be locked in memory. The moment you remove that line (how it is by default) it starts happening.
It's fine, just don't expect this issue to be fixed because to htc its not an issue. It's just the way it is.

I can't remember exactly. But it did solve my problem of sense constantly loading which causes lag or delay in sense loading.
However, check the following:
Go into settings, and at the very bottom is Developer options. Click this option. Then see if this item is ticked :"Show screen updates"... if it is ticked, untick it.
The only thing I have ticked in this option is "Animation", everything else is unticked.
The other thing I also do, is I try not to have my widgets updated constantly. I have my emails checked only every 3 hours, my news reader, greader pro, every 12 hours.
Let me know if this has helped you.

I believe you can only use this script with a rooted device. Is that correct ?
Many people with HTC One X may be locked into a carrier for some period of time and therefore on a Stock ROM !
adding echo ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1 to the local.prop solved the problem on my Desire Z, luckily temproot was enough to edit the file.
I don't suppose there is a way to temproot the One X yet?! I'm not interested in perm rooting my One just yet... I'm too fond of my 2yrs. warranty

I find this very strange.. i have in the last week had one force close on sense, other than that it has been fine
I haven't seen a single force close on anything yet. Had a few random close-without errors on Route 66 and one or two on Sygic, but this is infinitely more stable than my ICS Asus Transformers...

PS. I also went into SETTINGS, clicked on "Accounts and Sync" and check under my gmail account to see how many things were auto syncing. I removed most of them and chose to do them when I needed to. This helped conserve battery and possibly a smoother SENSE operation.

Yes indeed.
The Google location services is a big user as well, but to turn it off or prevent it's autostart would hinder Google now, at least I would think so.
Good point on the media server. The battery life was better before this update, and I'm sure Google was still hogging battery life. So media server seems to be the problem... Possible.
Could one possible freeze certain apps to eliminate the drain from the media server?

Mediaserver drains battery fiercely due to a bad image file or video file......it keeps trying to read the file. The only fix that I found was to backup your sd card reformat it then add a folder at a time to make sure it doesnt get stuck scanning.

I've found that it is only the network based locating that causes this particular wakelock madness. Turn off network based location and maps behaves fine... Shame really as Google Now is coded to be broken unless Google knows what network your connected to.

I doubt it's any of my files. It never was a problem on LJC. And even now the problem is random. Comes and goes on different boots. I'm thinking maybe Samsung accounts might have to do something with it. A few days ago I noticed it updated a Samsung push service app on its own. In my head that sounds about the same time my problem started.

That's why I use autostarts to disable everything unless I open it manually. Then you don't need to turn off the location services they just don't activate til YOU tell them too. They fully function just like normal only they only function when the app is in the foreground

Check your memory usage. I have this problem too - and it seems like my memory if full. Try to see what services run in the background and maybe you can stop some of them. Also look at 'Greenify' - it is an app that stops background processing for apps you don't want hanging in the background. It requires root, though.
do you use twrp? i had that problem until someone mentioned that twrp doesnt wipe completely and used cmw.

would it be too much of apps running at the background and causing it lag?
I'm reading about this issue more and more everyday ... one solution i saw was that to install "Clean master" from Play store and clear cache with that to minimize lag i believe it only affects custom roms and not stock based roms :/

Aw that sucks. It took a few extra seconds to open an app(which varies in time to open since it's loading content which is up and down at any given millisecond).

Other than disable the bloatware (fitness, milk, ant, etc.) I want to say her phone is so blazing fast I cannot even comprehend why it is so fast compared to mine. I have factory reset mine ( hers no) but that thing is what all phones should be like..
Q: On an Android system does it have something like a defrag like computers? Why would hers be faster than mine? Ideas?

I'm pretty sure the reason is becuase you have a lot more apps on your phone, starting with a different launcher.
I don't know why Android does this (or is it the app developers causing it?)...but a lot of apps load into memory whether you run them or not. Less memory available = slower performance. This is why I was disappointed when the Note 4 came with 3GB instead of 4GB of memory.
I have a lot of apps on my phone, and especially if multitasking it is quite laggy (for example, when I go for a walk, I'll be playing music through BT, and have MyTracks running to track the walk. If a text comes in, it has a very long lag before it opens).
This is the reason I'll likely be replacing my Note 4 with something else soon.
Well, I so have a TMobile N4 on the way. Plan to root, and install a KK ROM. Been researching on the TM Dev site, and there appears to be a great one there. Everybody touts the speed and battery performance.
That being said, the topic of 5.1.1 came up. One of the folks there had just got the T3 version of the N4 wiht 5.1.1, and he said as far as he is concerned, no ROM necessary. Says it flies. No comparison.
So, hopefully, 5.1.1 will be here on AT&T before long.
I switched back to stock launcher, removed a few weather widgets and a few less used apps and now mine flies.
I guess we have been lucky, we have never experienced any battery issues or any other things spoken of during this 5.0.1 update.
The only issue we have ever had is the issue with wifi vs 4G LTE. When you reach an area with wifi it sees the signal, wont connect due to not having the pw and the phone becomes useless unless wifi is turned off or you leave the area. Still waiting on speedify to come through with its beta.
D
I decided to try the stock launcher after reading your post. It is hard to believe how much faster it is. I miss the customization but love the extra performance. Hope I can figure out why the stock launcher keeps crashing once in a while.

After reading this, I thought I'd give it a try. Jeebus! Okay, so maybe the problem is more Nova Launcher than my actual Note. The downside is, I love Nova! I use the gestures and such constantly. And my phone stays in landscape position all day. Has anyone had success with other launchers?

It's weird how different these phones are. I've been using nova prime for about 2 months now. Went back and used stock Touchwiz launcher for a day or so and was thinking how jittery it was compared to nova. Went back to nova.

Yeah, after an hour of using TW, the recent apps lag was back. Switched back to Nova, no lag. For a few minutes. So much for that. Does anyone know exactly what the nature of the "memory leak" in 5.0.1 is? This must be related somehow.

Just curious, for both of you. I do not have my power saving mode turned on. There is a tab there that restricts cpu performance if its on.
JFYI...This past week I got a T-Mobile Note 4. Rooted it, installed a 5.1.1. ROM, and it is much faster. I too use Nova Launcher.
Battery is great too. I typically do an overnight / screen off test to get a general feeling of battery performance.
My AT&T Note 4 overnight with power saving off, wifi on, BT on, used just under 5% / hour. The TM one with same conditions lastnight used .73% / Hour. Yes...less than 1% / hour. I'm seeing quotes over in the ROM thread of 5-6 hours SOT.
I was ready to ditch the Note 4. Not now.

Wont be long now I hope. I noticed most every app I own has updated in the past 2 days. Perhaps it is in anticipation? I honestly dont know how it works.

I don't think play store apps have anything to do with '5.1.1' pushed by Verizon.

Perhaps, but it seemed weird all of them updated within 2 days (41 apps) go figure. Dunno .
