Hi,
I noticed that from some days when I run Quadrant standard it remains stuck on 'Database writes' for about 40-50 sec. The final result is ok (about 400) but on another P500 that I tried that test take no more than 10 seconds to complete.
My phone is very slow in opening apps or using them and when I speak to the phone I notice, every 10-15 seconds, a very small 'bzap', a strange noise like some problems unencoding the audio data. I've installed many apps (most of them on my SD, I changed the stock one to a 8gb class 6 card) but my phone is unrooted.
Any hints?
I am having the same issue after cooking my own ROM
Title says it all slow I/O on Quadrant. Is there a setting/config file somewhere I need to adjust? zipalign? My scores are only at 450 and I know this thing is faster than that from having other ROMs installed. Thanks for the suggestions!

Hey guys... I feel like I cannot keep the phone on for more that 72 hours continuously.
I'm using Galaxy SII, G version (I9100G). Currently everything original (no custom rom/kernel)
I believe that most of Android phones have the same problem.
After 50 hours++ of up time of the phone (I mean the phone keeps on for 50 hours), The phone will become noticeable lag, but just a bit, not too much. One of the best evidence is in the game Fruit Ninja. I will feel the lag everytime I slash the fruit.
I'm sure that most apps is closed (except background apps like samsung keypad) and my battery usage graph is in straight horizontal line (without any optimize software, only with BetterBatteryStats). Only 500 - 600MB of RAM is used and I think this is normal.
After I restart the phone, the phone will become smooth and the RAM will be 300 - 400MB used only. Others do not show any difference.
And sure, the phone will repeat the same problem after some hours.
I wish I can keep the phone on continuously and no need to restart it frequently just like normal phones.
Can someone share some experience about this?
Is there any solution for this?
Or this is the nature of Android?
Can Custom ROM solve this?
Your best bet is to use an app killer program so you can close anything and everything running in the background.
Holy... If you mean task killers, I can tell you that it will not work, but will make the situation far worse for Android 2.3 and up...
I use one that's built in to the ROM that I use and my phone runs great for days on end.
I'm using Memory Booster (RAM Optimizer) as my first experiment to solve this problem...
Well, due to unexpected turn of events, I am using an HTC Aria as my daily driver phone on Net10, S-OFF and currently running the last CM7.2 Nightly ROM with the included kernel (Max clock 768/Min 245, OnDemand and tried Interactive) and I have been getting daily reboots, not really bad but annoying. Any thoughts on cleaning up the reboots, is the Official Stable version better? I am running at 25 MB free consistently after moving everything to the SD card that can be moved, could this be part of the reboot problem?
Is there a better daily driver ROM, perhaps one with more internal storage free or one that uses the external SD as it's primary storage (acts as internal storage)? Thoughts on MIUI or something else? What is everyone who is still using the Aria using as their daily driver ROM?
I know this is very much a legacy device, but for the next few months at least I need to make this work fairly solid and I really don't like the stock ROM with all it's bloat
I'm not using my Aria anymore, but I gave mine to a friend, and it had the latest CM10 rom(not CM10.1) on it by WinSuk. So far it hasn't been giving him any problems. Maybe you should give CM7.2 Stable a shot before trying CM10 out though, since there are some bugs on CM10. Have you tried using Links2sd or moving the dalvik cache to the sd card for more storage space?

I have been using DroidSail's App2SD thinking it was the same thing, but I am learning it is very different. I will look into that, thanks. I was short on time yesterday so tried to dirty flash back to CM 7.2 Stable, but it was rather... umm... unsuccessful... Had to nandroid back, when I get some more time this weekend I will probably try again with a clean flash, maybe CM10, and perhaps MIUI as well. Thanks again!
EDIT: Interesting, last night around 7pm I changed the Max Clock speed to 787 MHz instead of 768, and dropped an app I didn't need freeing up 15MB of space (maintaining 41MB free on average), much smoother operation of the phone all around and no reboots in almost 24 hours. Note sure if the extra space helped or changing the clock speed, but seems to make a difference. I would assume that 787 uses a slightly different bus speed than 768 rather than a multiplier change so that alone could make a huge difference if I was at the edge of what the HW could take.
Edit 2: Nvm... it still reboots, back down to 600 MHz max for now.

I still use my aria as a media player, and keep it as a spare phone. CM9 and 10 were both nicely stable for me, but at this point you pretty much have to run an apps to ext partition solution due to the current size of apps and lack of internal space on the device. In any case, mine has always had random reboot issues if I overclock past 768, on any ROM.
I have CM10.1 on there now... but I can't get s2e to work with it (my old standby for apps to ext) and link 2sd seems to be misbehaving, or I don't know how to use it correctly. I'm going to go back to either cm10, or maybe a stock based froyo rom if I can track one down, just for the heck of it. What I want is attn1's liberated fr008.
Good luck.

Hello everyone.
I'm here because I have a problem and I need some help.
As stated in topic - my problem is about ZTE v965 phone. At the beginning everything was great, I didn't even expect such good phone for such low price. But my device became unstable, especially when I try to start a 3D game or even benchmark (sometimes 3D test from AnTuTu does not even start). I've been trying many ROMs for my device and that's probably the cause, I've flashed many of them, got one brick and many bootloops.
And right now, no matter the ROM, my device is suffering from a very small amount of free memory. v965 has only 512MB RAM but most of the time only about 50-100 is available and it used to be about 250MB after cleaning. I'm experiencing many FCs which are most probably caused by OOM. For example, I had no problems playing RR3, Eternity Warriors 3, Death Dome and others - now most of the time they just FC after the beggining loading. I even have problems with PowerAMP playing in the background of a web browser - one of them usually stops. Under the "running processes" in settings I usually find some system processes or other background apps (Viper, PowerAMP, Easy Battery Saver) that are restarting and taking up my RAM.
I've trying whatever came to my mind and I don't have any idea. Stock ROM, other ROMs, no system-messing apps, no root, new recovery, no tweaks or many of them. I just don't know what else to do.
Your help would be very appreciated
just picked up this tablet this after cuz this is the only android tab with modern soc.
but it feels laggy when using. especialy when playing games.
The game i play called Mobile Legends,
I used to play with my Moto Z which packaged the same soc as this tab, yet the resolution looks like shyt and very choppy and laggy when playing.
Also touch screen some times stop working when multi touching, e.g walking with left wheel and attacking using right button, then left wheel stucked into one direction until release and touch left wheel again.
is it a rom issue? game issue or i received a defected unit?

I can only compare it with my OnePlus 3T but I feel that probably is a good comparison SD820 vs SD821.
In general I'd say performance is more or less the same with the odd animation stutter on the tab s3.
I don't do games so can't comment there, but its handling 4k h265 HDR content like a breeze and barely dents the battery.
I'll see if I get a chance to download and try the game, will feedback performance.
I think you need to mess with the game launcher feature to get working correctly
no stutter and lag for me so far. Mine just arrived today.
I've had mine since launch day, no issues here.
I've had two now, one Wi-Fi only device which I replaced with a LTE version and for some reason the LTE one feels more laggy, might try a factory reset.
Its because of samung touchwiz. Nougat build is really laggy even though I had tab s2 and even after heavy debloating I noticed minor difference. When I switched to a custom rom it much much snappier without any lags.
So blame samsung or wait for them to fix these issues. I have a oneplus 3 and with 820 its really quick(custom rom)!
Sometime I feel some lag, but the very annoying problem I've found is that when holding the tablet vertically, scrolling the screen up and down reveals that the right side of the display is draw a little before the left side, so showing a strange "elastic" effect. This hurts me given the "premium" level of the tablet. The same effect doesn't show on my 3 years old Tab S, nor in landscape orientation.
Did you notice the same things?

Have LTE version and it does feel laggy. Special if the device been off for long time.
Pretty bad performance when apps are updating or after sitting idle or of for long periods. Can't wait to root and put a Rom on it but I want to keep s pen functionality.
I did a Geekbench at 07 this morning I got 1823 single core and 4033 multi.
Now, a few hours later I get no more than 1190 single and 3100 multi, which is slower than my Tab s2
and my Geekbench 4 app hangs when trying to start up have to force quit it sometimes.
How can I find out who/what is stealing my speed?

Sorry kids, the Tab s3 is back to normal with single core 1773 multi core 4033 and compute a whopping 7085.

Same problem with my LTE. Sometimes he hardly wakes up after a while. It may take some seconds or not wake up at all.
Now I have really problems. It just does not start up. It reboots when not starting up from lepp
.
-There is no difference if using Nova or Touchwiz.
-The data/apps on it is a clone of my Tab S2
Huib
P.s.
I must say that playing very large Video files ( >10 GB) is much snappier. But e.g. my Dutch Volkskrant/AD newspaper does a very bad two fingers zoom pitch. It just hangs now and then while zooming. Problems that I do not have while zooming google foto's and others.

I removed the SD card and did a factory rest and it seems like its working fine now. The tablet wakes up very fast and I don't see any lag so far.
are you guys using an SD card?
Yes, that should not be a problem. 128 GB.
I had however the program Dropsync ( great software BTW) referring to a non existing folder on the SD card.
So, at every startup/wake up, the program seemed to be searchig for the folder. And that caused the delay or hanging.
I am not 100% sure, but after stopping Dropsync, and later on referring to the correct folders, the problem never came back.
A small test, removing the SD card, helped me a lot.
Huib
Not using it to play games, but it seems to run smoother after an update I received today.
Hi! After reading this thread, I've decided to remove sd card and tablet stopped lag. Then I've formatted SD card to exFat, removed unused files so some music, several books and 3 photos left there. After putting it back, tablet started to lag again.
Today I've run AnTuTu Benchmark with sd and without. 1 test with card, 1 without, 1 with, 1 without. Between tests I've only closed AnTuTu via back button and nothing else.
So results:
With SD1: 3D 28282, UX 38632, CPU 29294, RAM 9185 TOTAL 105393
Without SD1: 3D 53146, UX 41127, CPU 23673, RAM 7392 TOTAL 125338
With SD2: 3D 28743, UX 38650, CPU 22223, RAM 6571 TOTAL 96187
Without SD2: 3D 57138, UX 43860, CPU 24020, RAM 8690 TOTAL 133708
As you can see, 3D and UX are much faster WITHOUT card. It's prettey old ADATA 32GB. No app is installed there. How can this be?
Old SD cards can get laggy. I had one in my Note4 that I'd had for about 5 years. Lots of reading and writing to it in that time. Eventually my Note4 started lagging and becoming unresponsive. I took the SD card out and no more lag.

But what is he doing with SD card? There only few songs. Does it cache on SD all the time?

My UK LTE version doesn't lag. It's actually quite fast and fluid. Do you have Samsung's cloud back-up feature activated? It consumes a lot of resources when it's running. I must have a unicorn Tab S3. It's never experienced Wi-Fi drain and gets stunning battery life; both in stand-by and active use.
I've enjoyed my XT910 for a couple of years, but quit using it about 3-4 years ago. Now I want to use it with a secondary SIM, perhaps as a WiFi hotspot while roaming, but I find the speed appalling. Every operation takes seconds to show a result. Even unlocking to an SMS notification takes ~4 seconds.
Using MoKee 5.1 on a secondary ROM slot, I think. It's always on charge (as battery is slowly dying) and the only active app is PushBullet, used to see check my SMSs on other devices.
Does it make sense to invest in a new battery and keep this phone as my secondary? Or should I just get a cheap Chinese one, like Ulefone U007?
I don't expect miracles, just maybe using it as a light travel phone, mobile hotspot, speedcam notifier and occasional (once every two months) browsing. Should I maybe switch to a stock-based ROM that lives on the main slot? Get rid of slots altogether?
The phone lived some nice times, travelled around the world, edited and uploaded DSLR pictures with OTG, provided navigation to rickshaw drivers, was a portable desktop for a while, then a retro-gaming machine. Maybe it just wants to be retired...
Motomizer can help overclock it so it doesn't seem as slow. I haven't maxed mine out, just ramped it up about midway.

I've bought a new battery and installed Mokee 5.1, upgraded later to 6.0. Battery life is ok-ish, but not much of a difference. I've measured the old battery to still have 1400-1500Ah, the new one is ~1700mAh. I suspect the poor battery life was due to some hanging processes.
Anyway, with Mookee 6.0, the phone is unbearably slow. I have whatsapp, viber, google maps and nothing else. LMK has been set to very aggressive.
When I receive an SMS, it takes 5-15 seconds for it to load, if it doesn't FC. When I unlock the phone (after it sat for a while) it takes at least 10s to come to life.
My suspicion is that there is high memory usage (Android reports 30-70MB remaining) which causes everything to be evicted from RAM. Not sure what can be done, except install an older android version. I thought the newer ones had better memory and battery management.
Android OS - 285MB
Android System - 99MB
Google Play services - 75MB
System UI - 54MB
Phone - 36MB
Viber - 35MB
Messaging service - 35MB
Whatsapp - 33MB
.......
Free memory 28MB
Not sure what I should do: switch to an older Android version? if so, which ROM would be more responsive but still frugal? Do not update apps as newer ones eat more memory? Give up?
I've already half-given up and ordered a cheap Blackview A7, but I really liked the Moto as a travel/backup phone.
