Is it normal for a phone to slow down after awhile?

I've experienced this issue twice now wherein my phone would get extremely slow and laggy to the point that it's unbearable to use anymore and the only solution was a reboot. Launcher keeps on restarting, messaging app takes 5 seconds to open, camera is lagging etc and this is after a week of uptime at least.
Why does this happen in the first place and am I the only one experiencing this? I've been running only maguro milestone 5 and franco for the past month, no other roms whatsoever. Once I power down and reboot everything becomes nice and fast again.

Never happened to me on stock.
I'd say it's "normal" for a phone to slow down over time as you add apps and things, but it should never slow down to a crawl and start crashing until you reboot.

normal for it to slow down a bit but not like how you described it. i'm running stock though.

It's not normal. Install some monitoring tool like "OS Monitor" and run it when the problem happens to find out the culprit.
Oh and installing multiple apps will not slow down the phone. This is not Windows 95.

lol at the windows 95 comment
although the # of apps you have alone shouldnt slow your phone down, if you have a ton of apps running in the background eating up ram it may slow down if the available free ram you have is really really low
when your phone is laggy check the ram first

Thanks guys I'll try OS monitor to see what's running. It just happened again right now and this is getting annoying, even typing is laggy but after a reboot everything is normal again.

Kill background apps.

So far I have not had that issue. Probably like everyone else said. There is some run away app that's eating up your memory

Its not normal, but aokp does have a bug. Check your system process in system panel, it grows larger over time if you use lock screen options etc.

[Q] Why is my HTC One M8 stuttering?

I have an htc one m8 with android 5.0.1 (lollipop). I am experiencing some stuttering issues. For example, in the app drawer when I scroll up and down for a certain period of time slowly (like for a 1 minute or so), there will be a glitch/stutter where the scroll quickly and automatically goes to next page (it is almost like the app drawer just blinked and refreshed but it shouldn't be doing that right?). After that stutter/glitch then no more glitches/stutters occur.
It usually happens when my cell signal is weak
OR
If i turn ON the cell radio or WIFI after being exiting airplane mode, the phone starts connecting to the wifi or cell signal and a stutter in the app drawer occurs.
But the scrolling everywhere else is fine (ex.scrolling in homescreen pages). There are no glitches,stutters etc. anywhere except for in the app drawer.
So is it doing that since the phone is trying to connect to the wifi/cell radio and causes the stutter?
I suspect that many users will not have experienced this issue even if it exists because not everybody would be focusing so much time scrolling in the app drawer like I do for no apparent reason anyway lol :laugh: . I just wanted to know if it is normal on every htc one m8 or not.
Let me know if I am not being clear enough, thanks!

I know it sounds basic and simple, but in most cases, a factory reset will fix those kind if issues.

hey thanks for getting back to me! i appreciate it.
i already tried a factory reset as well as wipe cache too a few days ago
but it still occurs. so i am guessing this is not happening on your m8?

So still the same? Some heavy usage must be happening from an app maybe. Check under Power : Battery Usage.
Some app may be slowing down the CPU performance.
Try High Performance mode under Developer options.

all seems ok under the battery usage. but doesn't the high performance mode cause huge battery drain and is not recommended?
also, this isn't something that happens all the time, just when i keep scrolling a lot in the app drawer after i turn on wifi, the stutter occurs.
are you sure this isn't normal?

Just try High performance mode, just to compare. See if it does the same.
Mine doesn't do that.

the stutter still happens in high performance mode after i turn off and then turn on wifi again
maybe you could try this:
first turn off wifi and data, and then turn only wifi on and then open the app drawer and scroll slowly back and forth for a few a pages about for like 30 to 60 seconds. wifi again

Tried it. No sttuter. But don't worry about it, maybe you have auto connect with saved WI-FI networks and stutter just when the device locks into a network.
I have auto connect and no sttuter. Just ignore it, it's a minor ''issue''

Running apps force close when in use (Runkeeper, Strava)

Hi!
Since the first (official) upgrade to Android 7, and even now with the new 7.1, I've been having this issue everytime I use any of these apps.
I always used runkeeper to track my mtb trails and it always worked perfectly. When this started to happen once, twice, etc, I decided to change to Strava, as I assumed it was an app problem.
The same thing happened on strava!
This situation happens on a random time (it happened once after 10 minutes of use, it happened other time after 2 hours of use, completely random). I have kept with strava as, after a force close, when I open the app again, it recognizes that a problem has happened and it restarts from the last recorded place.
Anyhow, this is a very annoying situation, as if I don't notice that the app closed, I will loose most of the trail.
I have disabled "Agressive doze & app hibernation".
Any other ideas?
Thanks

I have the same on 8.0. Compleate stopper for using OP.
All fitnes apps that use gps stop after 10 or 20 or 30 min of bacground work.
Also i use heart rate sensor and it does not restarts itself. It stales Bluetooth and you can not reconnect hr sensor without rebooting device
Considering to swith to Samsung)

Try turning battery optimization off in settings for those apps. I am not sure if this works but give it a try.

A5 2017 - Bad WIFI

Hi,
I have very annoying probkem with my A5 2017 running Nougat with the november sec. Patch. The problem is in WIFi, it often becomes very slow, but fixes after i turn the WIFI on and off. Also, when watching YouTube, the signal drops, speed is super slow and the WIFI often reconnects. When browsing, the speed often becomes slow, it does reconnect but not that often.
It is still presented even factory resets. Both done in M and N, was having same issue with M. Adaptive WIFI is off.
Any solutions? Thanks.

Ummmm....I remember this issue on stock ROM. Unfortunately, I never got around to investigating it as it never really bothered me. The issue is definitely with the stock firmware - never had this issue on LOS.
Sorry I don't have a clear solution for you. I'm sure someone will enlighten you and if I find any further information, I'll post in here.

Ok thanks, I will try to contact Samsung as well.

Hello friend...
On my phone, the wi-fi is normal.
How did you update it?
Via OTA or via Odin?
I do not recommend updates via OTA, they usually give a lot of problems ...
If you upgraded via Odin, did you clear the caches? (wipe)

Has anyone resolved this issue, recommended the a5 2017 to my mate and now he can't use youtube and other chromecast apps as it keeps messing up the WiFi.

I've used the OTA. I always clear cache, any solution? Also the WiFi signal sometimes become weaker, and ten recover to normal, I am standing in one place, weird.

Also when I leave the phone in standby with WIFI on, the battery seems to discharge pretty fast, but when I unlock the phone after the idle, the WIFi becomes very slow and web pages takes minutes to load, after it finishes loading, it is back to normal.

Guys, did any of you find solution? It is super annoying.

So, what seems to work (at least for now) is to delete the data from the WlanTest app in the settings (make sure that you can view system apps) then delete the app data.

Lagging while playing garena free fire

Hello guys.
I had some issues with my Galaxy A70. It's lagging like hell while playing garena free fire, my device can handle the game without any issue but I Don't know why this happens.
The problem is when I play the game first 2-3 minutes game works fine but after 2-3 minutes game starts lagging phone slows down and touch sensitivity feels really heavy even game controls seems heavy I can't get fine movement because of this issue. And when I close the game phone seems so much slower it takes 10 seconds to open an app.
And while playing a game when I open the game control menu and close it, game works fine for 1-2 minutes and again it starts lagging. I hope someone here can help me with this issue. Any advice would be much appreciated
My device is not rooted and I'm on android 11 latest version.
Sorry for bad English

It called "thermal throttling".
Most smartphone will thermal throttle when the processor got too hot. Try lower your game setting. This can reduce the heat on the processor, and thus reduce the lag.

I accept your solution. but I'm already playing on lower settings the game lagging also on lower settings. I've tried factory data reset and after that lag disappeared for 2 or 3 days and again after 3 days lag came back I only downloaded the game (downloaded game after factory reset)
I think it's not" thermal throttling " maybe some systems apps causing the issue? Cuz every system has high usage

I've noticed every system apps running at 100%high frequency everytime, I think that might be the issue how can I fix this issue?

Disable you game launcher because when your phone heats up ,it drop your screen frame rate(fps) and also decrease your volume that cause so much of lagging issue.
My suggestion was to use a custom rom to get best gaming experience

It could be anything but if it is related to hardware section u can do nothing. So first of all u need to tell us about the CPU. If it's low-end or entry level CPU u can't play anything on it.
If it's mid-range, I can help u.
I have a phone running on mediatek helio g85 powered by android 12
I face the same issue as you do because I did an update of my os. So don't update your os.
And you need to charge 100% everytime you play. You need to restart the phone or clear the cache of your game before you play. Don't use your mobile data because it will heat up your phone quickly and don't run apps in background like Avast, Facebook Messenger etc. Try to remove your back cover and hold the phone like near a fan and turn off your volume u will notice a big difference and take a break after 30 minutes to cool down and power off the phone and don't use your phone at night power it off.
Also lower your brightness I mean u can play at night time it will not heat up your phone
