Hey guys, im having a problem and i think some of you have experienced it also. Everytime i install a new rom, it runs perfect. However, after a couple of weeks it slows down like nobody's business. Im talking epic lag doing mundane things like using the camera or checking email. No amount of greenifying or overclocking solves the problem permanently. I also have TB running a schedule to wipe dalvik and system cache everynight so idk what the problem is. Any ideas?
every ROM ?
Thats weird. I never faced that issue and I flash ROMs on a weekly basis

Android is such magic system that it needs to be rebooted from time to time so it will solve the problem

Really hoping someone can help me. I have had my Defy for a few months and have always been on a custom SBF but continue to experience problems with the Defy working amazingly for hours and then sometimes I turn the screen on and the Defy is working in some kind of super slow mode and opening anything takes ages, everything does eventually open so it’s not crashed but just going super slow!
I am currently on SBF 3.4.2-177 Nordic but have had the same problem on different SBF’s so either my phone has a hardware issue or its some software I have on my phone, I am currently on Beta 6 of CM7 and have had this issue on other betas of CM7 but have never heard of anyone else with this issue. The phone will sometimes go a whole day without the issue also which is weird. It is not overclocked either. When it goes into what I now call superslow mode I have checked to see what the processor and memory usage are and both are around 60% used not being topped out at all. I have even used StabiltyTest to test the memory and CPU when the problem is occurring and both run through fine.
I really would love to know if anyone else had a similar problem or if they know what is causing it or how I can find out what is causing it without removing every bit of software I use. The only piece of software I use regularly that runs in the background is Juicedefender so I am going to remove this now and see what happens over a few days.
Any help would be amazing
Many Thanks
Bob
Did you install the latest patch for the auto-brightness issue? or Did you turn off the auto-brightness?
Thanks for the fast reply I have already installed the latest patch for auto-brightness issue but still have the problem
Was the phone slow in the stock ROM? I mean that's really wired that the problem appears on each SBF
Hi mys_721x, I only had the stock ROM for a matter of days when I first had the phone so really cant remember but I am thinking I may have to go back to see if I do still have problems if no one else can suggest anything else. Cheers
I have this same problem. Only fix seems to be a reboot whenever it happens

Same here, my phone suddenly becomes sluggish and unusable. Yesterday it was stuck on 100% cpu usage, I entered the task manager to see what was wrong and there wasn't any application that was using the cpu.
Only solution is to reboot everyday.
Glad to see I am not the only one, yea a reboot does the job sometimes it can be twice a day sometimes I don't see it for a few days, do you guys have juice defender installed by any chance as thats the only real program which stays running in my background which is extra to the roms I have used, cheers for your input, lets hope we can figure out whats going on.

I had it to in the past. When i tried to lock the phone it took long time and it wouldn't unlock for a wile 1-2min what is verry long if your waiting and afterwards scrolling was lame.
Don't know what I did, but it's gone now. Now only when out of memory(dhuu!)
I think I wiped it cleen, went to a 2.2 and didn't have it again, now on CM.
Do you see in spare parts any apps using mutch cpu?
Weirdest thing that happens to me..
Every hour/day the phone loads up some applications prepared to start when I turn on the phone..
That means that if I close say, tigertext or Skype, the following day, without turning off the phone, hey are running again.. wtf?
EDIT: A way of checking what's using the CPU, if you're on Froyo, is check the application manager to check for services CPU usage
Yea I have no idea what is causing it but little to no cpu usage when it happens, when I lock on cm7 the tv effect for screen off is super slow motion its really strange, did a clean wipe yesterday and did its first slow down today just before post, cheers

Anyone have any luck with this? Mine just seems to be getting worse and worse on CM7.
Update: I've opened a issue for this on Github. You can go there to post new information / symptoms so that hopefully it can be fixed: https://github.com/Quarx2k/android_device_motorola_umts_jordan/issues/204
Hi dasbin,
Since uninstalling Juicedefender from my phone I have not had this issue once, it has now been 3 days which is probably a record for me so I would say that it was causing me the issue, do you have juicedefender installed? I am now using green power it is much better so far.
Cheers
I would have made a reply post in the dev thread but my post count is to low, sorry about that.
Also i read through a lot of the recent pages that pertained to version 1.6 with no answer.
After a few days of using this ROM i have noticed an odd bug. Throughout the day, my phone would be on in my pocket with out me knowing. The screen would be on and also wife, Bluetooth, gps, 4g... Certain apps would also turn on. I wear thick work pants so i don't believe my skin would have triggered this. The battery would obviously be drained with only being off the charger for 4 hours...
yesterday night, i noticed my pocket was red hot. So i went to grab my phone out to see what was going on. I have never felt a phone that was this hot before. I immediately took the battery out and let the phone cool off for a good half hour.
Just curious if anyone has noticed this before and if there is a fix? To be safe i am going back to my old ROM.
That is definitely not normal. Try a clean wipe and reinstall. If still getting this then check a program like badass battery monitor to see what is doing it. Again this is not normal at all and you are one of the only ones potentially having the issue so i don't think it is the rom in this case. Good luck and hope it corrects.

Definitely not the ROM. I've been using it without issues since it came out and by the number of people that use the ROM, it would've come up if it were isolated to the ROM itself. As the previous poster indicated possibly something running in the background. Did you in do a clean install from GB or Calk 1.5 (whichever you were on)?
My phone did something similar running on of the leaked ICS (non-custom) ROM's a few weeks ago and I remember just going into recovery, then wiping cache and dalvik cache. No issues since then. When in doubt start with a "clean" install and if restoring from TB, then restore apps only and no system data. This seems to play nice for me.
Good Luck.

I used calk's format all coming from GB. All of his ROM's have run great for me.
The best ROM i have used to date was his el29 v3.0.
I figured this was very specific, i will check out that battery monitor. Thanks for the input!
Dear friends,
I have problem with my Nexus. Sometimes it vibrates by itself, without any reason. I don't mind it but it is little bit annoying. What can it be? I am on JB + franco's kernel.
Thanks.

Check all software that issues notifications and make sure none is set to vibrate. Like Yahoo, Facebook, etc.
Also happening to me. I rebooted and it's ok for another few days then vibrate itself again... I don't care now XD
Checked all options and I am thinking that settings are good. I don't use any of social apps except Instagram and twicca. This is very strange and happens randomly.
Do you ever get asked to choose an app to open 'something' with? like email apps etc?
Also do you have a folder in your gallery with a load of screen shots?
This is usually cause by the automated bug report system.
you may have to wipe data and re-flash rom/kernel.
Yes, happens all the time. So this is rom fault? Should I just use rooted stock?

This was happening all the time to me, on stock ICS and when I went to JB.. I am running my own build of CM10 and the issue has subsided.
Personally I Think a bad flash is to blame.
just try reflashing.. like i say i had this problem consistently and flashed many different roms with no resolution.. but now its fine very odd..
Like i say do a wipe and full flash/reinstall.
I found solution to my problem. You have to disable bug mailer. Just rename /system/bin/bugmailer.sh to bugmailer.sh.bak and you are good to go.
I have a problem. Yesterday, my phone started rebooting randomly. It's been happening almost every time I use the phone. I rooted and flashed the Calk E4GT 2 4.0.4 ROM about a month or so ago and have had no issues to speak of with it at all. I disabled the facial unlock because I noticed that the reboot would routinely happen with either I was trying to unlock or put the phone in standby or while I was trying to use it in some way.
In the past I had noticed similar behaviors randomly, but never became a persistent issue. Anyone have any ideas as to what the culprit could be?
If I need to reload...how do I go about doing that? Just pick a new ROM and flash from CM to start from scratch? If so, what's a good ROM that is 4.0.4 based to run with....Cyanogenmod?

I'm having the same problem with the stock ff18 rooted...started out of the clear blue, can't place my finger on a consistent pattern. I'm gonna try installing a new kernel and see if that helps. If it works I'll let you know.
I disabled facial recognition security and cleared dalvik and normal cache with clockworkmod. My phone hasn't rebooted basically all day so far.
Something must have been stuck in the cache possibly that was causing issues.

I'm using a rooted Zenfone 2 551ML and i'm on stock Asus ROM, my problem is that when i take a picture using the stock camera app, it takes like 2 seconds to load before i can take a picture again. Also, while i'm chatting with someone over the Messenger app by Facebook, the keyboard pop ups lag sooo much that sometimes it renders the keyboard unusable since it's covering the letters. All software are up to date.
Does anyone else have this kind of problem, and if you have experience the same problem is there a fix for this?
Did you updated your ROM? And Wipe Cache in Recovery after instalation
Use any other keyboard and for camera lag wait for a new update from asus..... Its a software problem which was not there until .18.20

Yup, my ROM is stock and is up to date and no, i did not wipe cache in recovery after i updated my ROM. Should one always wipe the cache in the recovery after every update?

I was using an alternative, the Google Keyboard to be exact but sadly the spell checker of the stock ASUS ROM is somehow built in the ASUS Keyboard, and i really like to have a spell check function. Hence my dilemma.

Yes, a couple of updates ago people noticed that battery life worsened and many lags. A friend of mine had updated and had some problems with the camera. Wipe from recovery fixed it, and it became a habit to wipe cache from recovery after every update just in case

Tried it but still no change, the keyboard and camera app still lags... The camera needs to load a solid 2 seconds before i con shoot again...
Not to jack this post but I'm in same boat but not with those apps. I'm completely stock. The past 3 weeks any games I play lag like crazy. One game actually takes 20 seconds to load and the other, the graphic lags big time. Haven't installed or done anything to cause this. I tryed the cache cleaning also stopping the game from apps, cleaning their data, uninstalling and then reinstalling. Doesn't help not one bit
Update:
I downloaded du speed booster from the play store just for the hell of it to see if it help.... After running the boost cleanup my phone is back to normal. Hope this helps someone else out

I'm completely stock as well that's why i'm experiencing the problem, the lag doesn't appear when i'm using 3rd party apps. Your camera app doesn't load after taking a shot?
