very slow installation of apps - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi dudes, i got a question regarding my htc m8 which is currently at stock with a fresh stock Android 5.0.1 and latest OTA update.
Since i have this phone i recognize very very slow installation of apps i'm loading from the market place. For exampla an installation (not the download) of a 10mb app takes about 50 seconds until the app is installed. On my Asus Transformer Pad TF701 with tegra 4 soc, this procedure takes just 3 seconds until the installation is done.
this is now the third m8 i got (because of accidentally leaving the phone on the roof of the car or other minor bads ) and all three m8 phones are showing same behavior. This equals in ages of time when updating a lot of apps especially if the apps are even bigger then 10mb it takes even much longer)
So my question to u guys is if there is any workarround or fix for a none rooted phone or may some specially setting i dont know about. Or is this problem even known? i know about the predecessor of the Transformer Pad, it had a bery very slow internal memory and the pad was showing simily problems but i cant believe that this not very old htc m8 has similar problems..
any suggestions?
thx

I have the same issues however i believe it is more to do with the app as i find its not on all apps just mainly ones which either have alot of security ie facebook or have been moved to external storage

Is anyone else finding their Arc starting to lag?

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

Any more ideas?
Cheers!

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

[Q] New Market app is unbelievably slow

I have been running Android 2.2 on my Defy (34.179.2.MB525.Retail.en.CEE) since it came out, and never had any problems with the Market app. Couple of weeks ago the new Market (version 3.1.3) has been automagically updated on my device, and it's so slow I can't believe it. It takes 10-20 seconds to start up (compared to the instant launch of the previous one), and another half minute or more to display my installed apps (but the thumbnail icons take another couple of minutes to load).
I have tried to delete all data and cache of the app, but it didn't help at all. Even tried downgrading to the previous version (2.12), but after some time it gets updated again unfortunately.
Any ideas how to speed it up or at least prevent it from upgrading?
Same here. I'm using the market version 3.1.3 since yesterday and I'm very disappointed. I can't even update any apps, because it's just "loading". I've cleaned the data of the market and then it worked for 1 time, but now it's "loading" again.
If I kill the market app, it just loads fine ... But that's not so comfortable.

Massive Performance Problems on every ROM/Kernel

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.

[Q] [Help] Tab 3 7" SM-t211 KitKat 4.4.2 Unsolvable Lag on Rhythm Game

Hello guys,
Excuse me but let me get straight to the point: I really need a solution. I upgraded my Tab 3 from JB 4.1.2 to KitKat 4.4.2 yesterday, and one and the sole problem for me is now I'm always experiencing lag in a certain rhythm game. I'm not sure about overall device performance as I don't pay much heed and for me no extreme differences apparent for me to notice. Even if it's slower on KitKat 4.4.2, I wouldn't really mind it. But the problem is, the only thing I care is the one experiencing problem from the OS upgrade.
The game is called School Idol Festival. You can see the example of the gameplay in youtube. (can't post any link since this is a new account)
The problem is now the game lag heavily causing the notes to move shakily, especially when there are more notes appearing on screen at the same time. It's like when you move your cursor when the pc is lag heavily, the cursor would look like it's shaking a lot while on the move. It's disturbing my timing on playing the game. Previously on JB 4.1.2, the notes rarely move so shakily like that even in far more intense songs. I have tried to turn off many stock apps. My internal storage is still 8 GBs free. I already tried to close all other applications before launching the game. I never limit my CPU performance. I already tried turning off power saving. Already tried to tick force GPU rendering in Dev option. Already tried to play after I cooled down my Tab 3. But none helps.
Is there any solution for me, preferably without the need of rooting and without any good risk of breaking my device?
Thanks.

Slow Play Store install/download speed

So, this has been bugging me for some time now, but this morning I've had enough. What happens is that I put apps to update trough the Google Play store, and my phone becomes really slow and the download/install speed is even worse. I just put about 12 apps to update, all small apps. It took the phone almost an hour to update and there were still 4 left that weren't. Tried using FB Messenger to talk to my GF and the phone just hanged and wouldn't respond for at least a minute.
I've had the Redmi Note 3 from my GF for a while, and that thing installed apps like nothing. It was really fast and as soon it downloaded the installation started and almost instantly finished. Compared to my G4, it was a pleasure to watch that.
Is anyone else having similar problems? I have a H815 bootloader unlocked with Genisys Rom 2.2.1 on it. And, I've had this problem on every stock based MM and LP ROM, tho not sure if I had it on a CM or AOSP based ROM.
