So yesterday my m8 suddenly started lagging, the whole time no matter what I do (reboot, power down for an hour, format internal memory, reflash rom).
It worked fine after charging overnight but now it's slow all the time again. It's not responsive at all, feels like 1fps and 100ms input lag, all animations are slowed down, sometimes input takes a few seconds to register (feels like a laggy kindle).
And like I said, it just suddenly started, haven't installed any apps in weeks.
Weird thing is, tasks run normally in the background, like talking on the phone or listening to music etc.
Anything I can do besides throw this phone away?
I have a similar problem.Can anyone help?Maybe it was the wine hboot?

My Desire seems to of started slowing down. It's a bit laggy in the home screen, menus are feeling a bit sluggish too.
It was lightening fast when I first had it, not sure if I've just gotten so used to it.
Any tips of speeding things up? I've removed any unused apps and wiped app cache.
The phone is also not rooted.
Any one else experiencing this a bit?
I somewhat expected the Desire to slow down after I got it... pretty much every device, computer, phone, etc I have owned slows down after it's been used a bit... I have not had a noticeable slowdown with the Desire though. There was a short time where the app manager took a while longer to load, but that didn't last long. My guess is that you have a lot of apps running in the background and maybe a live wallpaper. I have noticed as time goes on, the Desire's available ram shrinks away. After about a week and a half it usually drops to around 100 for me. A reset fixes this though, so it's not that big an issue. So, I would say get a task manager and see what all is running in the background and see if it is using your resources. I have also noticed that some of the Widgets like Friendstream are naturally a bit laggy, even when they shouldn't be.
Since installing CM7.1, my phone has been rebooting randomly -- like 5-8 times a week.
It usually happens when using Google Navigation (but not always); and usually when in the car and plugged in to charger (but not always.)
I thought it was CM, so switched to Sense (Swagged Out Stock) -- but it's still happening -- usually when I most need the navigation!
I tried the GPSCLRX thing; didn't help.
Could it be the car charger? The heat from being on the dashboard? Any way to narrow down the cause?
Thanks!
Is it a full boot or a quick boot? Gingerbread does a quick boot, where it just shows the bootanimation for a few seconds and then reentered the OS, when the system runs out of memory.

It's a full restart -- goes back to the white HTC screen!
Does your phone get hot at all? How many apps do you have running in the background? Phone's usually restart if they run out of memory, get too hot, run out of battery (which I assume isn't the case for you), or have a software error. Checking the temp and the background processes on your phone can help eliminate a few causes and let us know which is the most likely culprit.
I've had this problem before when my phone gets hot. Also more frequently happening when charging and running navigation. This happened a lot when running CM. I changed to deck and it doesn't happen too often now. Not sure if it was coincidental.
I've got a huge problem with my Desire HD that just drives me crazy and still I don't know what to do about it - googled for hours, haven't found anything but unfinished threads.
It started a while ago, I had a ICS - Aokp installed. Some day, WiFi turned off and when I tried to turn it back on, it either remained in the "Turning WiFi on..."-state or gave me an "WiFi Error". Also, the whole OS slowed down terrible.
I installed a 2.3.7 Sense ROM. Worked for a few days, I think. Then one time, the phone froze and after reboot, the WiFi Error occured again.
Switched to Virtuous Infinity v1.31.0. Worked fine for maybe a day, froze, same error. And worst of all, it slew down more than before. Example: Unlocking Screen -> (3 Seconds) -> Displays GUI -> Whatsapp Link -> 10+ Seconds -> displays WhatsApp - but that's not even the end, try to enter text when it displays 1 sign per second. You finish typing, wait 15 seconds to hit the "send"-button.
2 hours ago i installed JellyBean (4.1.1). Without it freezing, WiFi just turned off an won't turn on again. I rebooted, while bootanimation, it froze. I took out the battery, rebooted - it doesn't run as smooth as it did before and WiFi still won't work again. I think in the next 14 days it will slow down again like it did before. It's like there would be processes in the background that need the entire CPU power, but anyway i monitored CPU usage using SystemPanel. There was no CPU usage recorded. I killed apps, no difference. I also intended to monitor the CPU speed, but it wasn't possible with the previous kernel.
Do you have any suggestions, what i could do? Right now, i just want to smash my phone.. it's not dependable. Sometimes my phone rings but won't turn on the screen cause of the stability problems .. I am through so many Android versions, I'm just tired of installing new roms every 2 weeks so i can still use my phone.
I have had a problem that's grown worse over time with my G2. I've noticed the phone will be snappy, fresh after flashing, but over time, it will start to slow down. I chalked it up to it just needing a good flash every once in a while. However, it's gotten to the point it will become laggy/unresponsive within a day or two now. During these periods of lag I have managed to make it struggle to the running applications screen, where I have noticed that the lag is correlated with background applications restarting themselves. Google maps, Google Voice, and Waze are usually restarting (sometimes a few times before becoming stable), and I think Imo messenger might be doing the same. Once all the background apps are done restarting, everything returns to normal. I notice these apps all require some sort of radio use, and that the app I am actively using usually will only slow down, but not crash.

I have very similar issue. Soundhound oo, maps, Droid are trying to restart when it happens... I think it might be because we run out of memory... but I don't know why Android try to restart those processes so hard then.
Forgot to say I have a Galaxy S with CM 10.1
For me most of these issues go away once I set limit of background processes to 2. Even application install doesn't hand phone as before. OC also helps I guess.
I have had my P607T for a couple of months now. It is box stock no changes. Over the last few weeks I have noticed that it will reboot while using various apps. (Fliipboard, Chrome, Clash of Clans, Papyrus...) They don't seem to all be heavy graphics or network. The only symptom is that the screen starts to flash then "bang" reboot (and trouble rebooting when not plugged in). It would not be too annoying except that it will loose wifi settings and the wallpaper. I have tried different wallpapers (saw a thread blaming the live wallpapers ) Unloaded some apps (had another phone issue with FitBit and HTC blink on my N4). I stay away from CoC (my base has been raided so often now ...). Any thoughts? I am really trying to like this tablet more than my old ASUS Transformer but this reboot and reset wifi is a pain.
Thanks in Advance,
marka

Have you tried a factory reset? I'd make tmobile replace it
was hoping to avoid the reset button. Tried it and still giving trouble it rebooted while restoring apps. I bought the tablet on ebay, I don't think TMO will take it back. oh well I'll keep poking about.
thanks,
I experience exactly the same problem since the update to 4.4.2 (kitkat): The screen starts to flash, suddenly the tablet reboots. I tried a factory reset multiple times, also removed the SD card and reflashed the ROM via KIES, nothing helped so far. Also, even when plugged into the outlet for several hours the tablet didn't charge at all (I think it stopped charging when the screen saver kicks in).
A couple of weeks ago I filed a RMA request (my dealer sent the tablet to Samsung), yesterday I got it back. It was charged at 60% and when I plugged it to the outlet it actually charged (even when the screen went off). But after about one hour (the battery was still > 60%) the flashing reappeared and after a while the tablet started to reboot again. Interestingly the battery now showed only 2% and the low battery warning appeared.
I think the problem might occur only when the battery runs low (which happens very fast as something seems to drain the battery), while android still shows a much higher battery level . Never experienced these problems when the tablet was plugged in so far.

At least I don't feel so alone with this issue... I have been paying more attention to my build up process since the factory reset. I found, the other night quite by accident, that when I logged in to Twitter the reboot started. So for the next few days I have left Twitter off the machine and it is doing better. I suspect that something is hitting the power drain (like you mention) and that causes it to have problems. In that thought I have also turned off the power saving mode and auto screen now just to add to the list of things I am avoiding.

Have you considered rooting and using root apps to stop the apps from being able to do such things?
