Hi,
I recently purchased a Sony Ericsson live with Walkman. It has become very slow. Even the pictures in the gallery dont open. Can someone please suggest on how I can make it faster? How good is a task killer? Most websites dont recommend its use.
is your phone rooted? then look for a list of safe to freeze / save to delete apps and freeze / delete them with TitaniumBackup.
custom kernels are also doing a great job.

I think that is a problem with the sdcard, as pictures are stored and read in the card. I have no problems with my gallery being slow. If you want a faster loading of the pictures, get an original 4class sdcard or higher.
And here is why you should not use a task killer. Basically, android os is built to manage apps efficiently (details on link, too long for me to explain), so using a task killer will be redundant and will drain your battery faster, and consume more cpu.
If you want, just use a monitoring app and manually stop apps which is actually violating the cpu usage of your phone (i.e killing apps that should not be really there; rogue apps)
You installed app thats realy slowing your phone,just uninstall all apps and problem solved.
Maybe the memory card you got has some very sluggish read and write.speed.whixh affects the performance of your phone whenever it tries to access stuff in your memory card. And also monitor those apps that arr always running in the background.
You have to do Factory Reset and reinstall your apps again, one by one, still you identificate the app that gets slugging your device. Other way is to get a new SD Faster and make the test.

I think you have to factory reset your phone first, and there would be some problem in your SD card thats why yur gallery have problems !!
about task killer, then i would suggest don'tuse them bcos they use more and more emory thereby making your system slow !!
so finally factory reset will sove your problems and make sure to get a good quality sd cardl

Good day Everyone,
I bought my own sony ericsson XPERIA X8 smart phone just a couple of weeks ago. I find it really easy to use and very user friendly. However, there are just some problems I am experiencing at the moment.
First - Camera and Pictures (and Picture Rotation)
I found out that when you take PORTRAIT pictures, it is saved as LANDSCAPE and vice versa... is there any way to change it? like if you take Portrait Pictures, you no longer have to flip your phone in a landscape view and vice versa?
Another thing is that is there a way to rotate pictures with this phone? I still have to download adobe photoshop in android market in order to do that...
Second - Wallpaper
This is another issue I want to open up. I tried using my pictures in my album as wallpaper. Usually XPERIA X8 would ask you to crop the picture or choose which area of the picture you want to make as wallpaper. The problem is you cannot choose the whole picture itself. I also tried using pictures that are taken from the camera and still the same...
Third - Storage
I just would like to ask where does XPERIA X8 store APPS downloaded from Android Market? is it in its phone storage or in its SD Card? I downloaded quite a few APPS and I've been notified for having low storage capacity... I have a 2GB SD Card... And how can I change it so that it will save the APPS in SD Card?
Fourth - DOWNLOADS
I also would like to ask where can I download useful APPS, Games, etc for this phone? of course aside from going to Android Market...
Fifth - REMOVING APPS
I bought this phone in Taiwan and I notice that there are default APPS that are in Taiwan's language which is not useful to me... I wan't to delete them but I can't because unlike APPS that I downloaded, it will only have a button CLEAR CACHE... not like the downloaded APPS that has UNINSTALL button. Is there a way to delete these APPS in my phone?
Your help will be deeply appreciated... tnx much!!!
Welcome there
First: there are quiet many other camera app beside built in app..like Vignette,360 camera (if not mistaken)..
Second: 3.2 mp camera have 2000x2000 picture size (if not mistaken also)..its more big then our X8 [email protected] y even u snape from phone,your pic will have a size of 2000x2000 and that y u still have to crop
Third: there is app that can move ur app from internal to SD card..BUT..it required u to root ur device..app like app2sd and link2sd.
Fourth: I'm very sure you know how to used Google.com just type "app for android" there you go
Fifth: There also app that can remove built in app..BUT..this app also required a rooted device..which is TitaniumBackup.
I hope already answer all ur question
Hi everyone, I have one question regarding my Xperia Mini Pro sk17i.
1 month back i could have easily moved large amount of my newly installed apps to SD card without any problem. But recently whatever I install, I just cannot move it on SD anymore. I understand there are many apps that cannot be moven, but whatever i tried to install (randomly) from Google store just stays on my phone and option to move it to SD is blank (unavailable). Now, I'm wondering is this something that happens frequently, or have I maybe done something that somehow blocked that function?
I'll note this app (which previously when i had no problem moving apps from phone to SD or other way around wasn't installed):
Disk Defragmenter
another note: I never rooted or flashed my phone in any way, just regular updates. I'm currently on 4.0.4 version ( installed it 5 minutes ago, but still problem with moving to SD).
I have never face a problem like u'r..i'm using 4.0.4 too..
format u'r sd card and try
thanks for reply.
Well, i considered doing that, but i have so much settings on my phone that would take ages to redo once i reinstall all the apps...
Hey bro try link2sd then
Try formatting sd card and reset factory settings. Or you can root and move any app to sd..
Sent from my WT19i using xda app-developers app
use Link2SD is much better
Thanks for your time guys, I've formated and it looks like it's working now. I'll just have to spend some time to readjust settings like they were before. Thank you again. Lock if needed.
Glad to hear it. Good luck

Hi xda mems,
I have the S3 since august and it worked just fine... until when I used a new micro sd card ( sandisk) and put all my music and hd videos there. Right after that the music player and the video player keep crashing everytime, they suddenly stop playing and the phone is completely freezed. Sometimes I had to remove the battery to restart it...So I suppose that my s3 doesn't like the micro sd card much? Do you think I should format it?
I think that everybody has noticed that Polaris Office 4.0 can't work properly after JB update, in case you haven't, now you know it. So I'm left without a text editor
Plus some bugs here and there with Fb, games, even Touchwiz doesn't run smoothly.I've never managed to use Face Tag, each time I choose a contact to identify a person the phone comes back to the photo without a tag.
I have to reboot my phone many times a day and this pisses me off so if you have any solution for my problems then you're very welcome xD Don't hesitate to tell me if you're suffering these probs too
P.S : I just realized that when I update the music library in music squares I have the music square work just fine again ( it hadn't worked at all for me in a while)

I suggest you wipe caches in recovery mode
Also, you may try some alternative apps such as QuickOffice or ThinkFree

>>> Yes format but it may be a faulty card .

Suggest backup data and a full wipe followed by flash stock firmware ,

I think that anyone of us noticed that jellybean port for xperia U start becoming really really slow after a while, and even perfomance in games are bad compared with ics.
Doing a bit of reasearch i found that the problem is cause from a process called mmcqd/1 that should be the process that manages the read/write on sdcard and it suck all the cpu. Obviously we don't even have an sdcard. so, i believe that the problem is kernel related, can anyone dig into it?
another clue is the fact that when installing jb strange folders are created, such as Storage folder or sdcard0.

After some researches with logcat turned out that is the official facebook app to slow down the enitre phone by continuisly writing in the /data folder. Just unistall it and watch the phone fly...
My girlfriends phone was running extremely slow so I rooted it and flashed a stock OL1 rom on it then I installed a font on it and it made the keyboard give FC every couple seconds and became unusable so I flashed the rom again and now it's still running slow would flashing the hisp kernel and changing the governors work? If so could you guys tell me how? I've tried doing a complete flash (everything but the SD card) and that didn't help either it works for like 10 minutes then starts going really slow again anyone got any ideas???
Backup whatever she needs like contacts, sms messages, etc then do a full emergency recovery in Samsung smart switch. If it runs slow after that she needs a new phone.

Alright I'll try that and I mean it worked fine until she took the oj4 update do you think that might have messed up the hardware?
like... choppy framerate? or delayed input? why dont you remove the sd card first, it could be trying to scan something in there
it doesnt make sense for a fresh stock ROM to be slow, but you should also disable any apps or services you dont use

Both I guess it takes like a solid minute for the keyboard to pop up when you go to type stuff and and especially on the lockscreen and apps like snapchat take a long time to load and come up when you open them and stuff like that

i've seen keyboard popup delays on a dell near aosp tablet before, the user was an idiot that installed as many apps as possible, crashing every few minutes, no ram free, etc
did you try my 2 suggestions? (remove sd card, disable what you dont use)
how do you know you didnt get a virus?

nah i havent yet ill try it soon as she lets me get her phone lol and nah she had an app called lookout that was an antivirus thing but she did have frostwire installed when i looked at her phone and thought it was weird but wouldnt a factory reset fix it? and she has plenty of space on both her phone and sd card how can i check what her ram is?

you rooted & flashed, yet dont know how to go to the ram menu that exists on pretty much every android for years?
why do you think some crappy antivirus is going to protect you, the biggest problem is always the user & what they choose to install (also how do you know the antivirus isnt demanding)
i'm not questioning the amount of space on the sd card, i am questioning if it happens to have a particular file that is causing the automatic gallery (among others) scan to get stuck at high load, you must have the card removed to prove that it's not the card
factory reset reloads files that are already stored on the device, meaning, they can be tampered with... the only true reset is reflashing a complete raw image from a computer, probably all of it (rom+bootloader+kernel+recovery, not just the rom)

lmao some things i use some things i dont i never really care to look at the ram in the ram menu because on my verizon s5 i have moar installed and it just says it when i pull down the notification tab lol but i installed avg on it and did a scan and something called demo strap came up as malware so i deleted it and looked it up and people said it wasnt malware and ah okay i see with the reset ill try it with the samsung emergency one and see if that works out if she lets me do it xD
what do you mean more installed, every s5 has the same ram, 2gb (i did say ram, not rom)
it doesnt matter what super phone or computer anyone has, people shouldnt install tons of crap they dont use & leave everything always on startup
that dell example i mentioned, it was ridiculous, like 4 different antiviruses, 3 different battery boosters, they were all conflicting with each other, sometimes it takes a min for the screen to come back on when you try to wake it, etc... all on 1gb ram with i think 64bit android (which uses more ram in the first place), after i reset it entirely & disabled everything possible, it still sits with barely 300mb free out of the 1gb
