I wanna know if anyone else has this issue or not when click an app like a game it takes up to 10 seconds for it to run and after exiting sometimes the main screen is very delayed and sometimes unresponsive when scrolling left and right. I also have an issue of the phone not wanting to switch back to 4g if in 3g or 1x just stuck until I reboot or restart it. Wanna know if I should get this one replaced or not. Also GPS is horrible never accurate. It say in running little kids on the sidewalk over constantly or running threw people house. I have factory data restored it but same problem. Need to know if I need new one?

It does happen. Try a different kernel or over clocking.
this happens to me occasionally, usually only when the battery is hot/doing a LOT of things at once. (meaning when i'm charging and using pandora over bluetooth, wireless tether, and waze at once) the phone lags up so much that when i press the home button, the haptic vibrate stays on for about 3 seconds.... this is when i know that its happening - and i'll just pull the battery...
If you're running stock & it's been like that since day one, you might consider exchanging it. If you're running a custom rom/kernel, reflash & leave it at default settings for a few days & see if the problems resolve

I've never had the lag issue you speak of, however, the gps issue I have seen, but has been fixed in recent custom roms and will be addressed in the update. If you are on stock, you might want to just wait it out for 9 more days till the OTA rolls out. If you are using a custom rom/kernel combo, what are you using?

I also forgot to mention that i'm on BAMF 1.8 with the kernel that it comes with.
If your rooted, i'd recommend unchecking your "set at boot" and profiles in SetCPU, reboot, and see if it continues. As said above, if unrooted... a call to verizon may be in order.
My phone is not rooted every phone I have rooted besides like 2 I have bricked. But yeah I don't get why they didn't run this stupid phone a dule core. I got to play with a phone that had a dule core and response is so amazing.
Then you should take it back to verizon & exchange it for another. Your Tbolt shouldn't be like that out of the box. I've never had GPS issues, even on stock it would lock within a few seconds. And dual core is overrated unless you have apps that actually take advantage of it (not many). No wonder you were impressed with dual core phones lol. My mildly overclocked Tbolt runs Sense just as fluidly as any Atrix runs MotoBlur

Okay thanks I have been looking for an excuse to tell them basterds off.
For the pass week I have been experiencing screen freezes / screen lock ups......to the point I have to do a battery pull....I never had this issues before til recently I've tried every rom and it does the same thing after a few days or so I've even ran roms that I've never had any issues with before but i still get lock ups....any ideas!!! I don't wanna take it in cuz I don't want to do the HTC unlocking once they send me a refurb!!

Could it be heat related? Mine is.
I am going for a second refurbished e3d and hitting it with a hairdryer first thing out of the box to see if I can get it to reboot due to moderate heat.
A month ago, refurbished phones were 1.4 hboot.
Can't be heat related I watch movies just to burn my battery dry and nothing goes wrong but idk but it possibly could be heat related
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
M phone was horribly hot this weekend and was perfectly stable. What the heck?!?
Heat is either a necessary precondition or it is humidity related. Those (and updated apps, as they hit the market) are all that have changed between stability and the previous rebooting abyss.
Maybe random really is random.
Oh, I still can't use the walts kernel that comes with CR 2.5. Something about it hates my phone and causes massive random rebooting.
Freeza's stock kernel is a million times more stable, only leaving me with the more minor rebooting topic we are posting about here.
Try this... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18246407&postcount=2861
I'm getting freezes also, anytime my phone screen times out. The phone will lock up and you have to hold power button plus volume up and down to reboot or battery pull.
I just did this fix and testing now, not sure if it fixes it yet...

Questions - Just trying to help
OP :
Are you using any 3rd party roms - mods - themes- etc.
?
If so, I can tell you , from personal experience, that ViperRom seemed to affect my phone (stock kernel, last version, not the latest) in this way. I was not overclocking, nothing special just the basic rom and it seemed to randomly lock up, and get quite warm. Many, many others however are quite happy with his rom without any issues.
Me personally, I have moved to Virus'es (lol) infected rom, Im loving it, stable, fast, beautiful theme, and it seems like the developer is a little more involved than Viper was.
Just my 2c, Not trying to trash any of the dev's I appreciate all of the hard work hobbyists put into this, once again, just trying to be helpful.

I'm running virus news rev and I'm getting the lockups...
It happens while I leave phone idle and freezes screen up and requires battery yank or power down and volume button reset.
I just flashed back to virus airbourne and no lockups.
Seems to happen on 2.3.4 roms only.
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
If you are running any of the roms that change the automatic dimming settings than that may be your problem. For some reason, anytime Steel would add that feature to his rom everyone would start having the lockups and screen freezing. Check to see if your rom has altered these settings and if it has remove that update and you should be fine.
Every single kernel I have tried with the exception of netarchy's silverneedle on 2.3.3 has given me random lockups after about a day of use.
I have since reverted back to the Stock kernel on 2.3.4 and all is well.
Yea i have used vipers newest and even went back to the good ol decks ROM and had lock ups I'm on deck now with no custom kernel so i will do more testing then slowly add things to see what the culprit is

Keep us updated, want to figure these lockups out...
I think its probably more hardware related. I'm stock everything and have had this almost catch fire 3 times now. Not like a little hot, but hot to where I have to put it down. I too have had a bunch of screen freezes lately, only a few force restarts. The high temp thing is random. First was taking video. Second time was uploading a few pics to facebook, third time....this last sunday was a good one. Had it plugged in for about 2.5hrs. My dad grabbed it and threw it down because he didn't expect it to be as hot as it was. I was like WTF? He gave me the phone and it was on fire, with only 25-30 charge. This was using the HTC charging stuff that came with the phone. I keep deleting the battery temp app so i didn't get actual temps at the time. I'm gonna try for a new one tomorrow, hopefully get upgraded to 1.40 from 1.50.

This possibly has been asked before however the search features of Google are insufficient at finding anything related to what I am asking.
Basically, I am looking for, whether it be a ROM or Kernel of Making my GS2 Boot Faster, I have timed my current ROM at 30 seconds, which to me as a bench marker is diabolical.
I remember having a ROM, I believe on my GS1 that made boot time around 8 seconds, I wonder if similar attempts have been tried for the GS2.
I look forward to your replies.
N.E.A.K kernel boots pretty fast. It actually gives the little vibrate, when everything is loaded, before the boot animation is finished.

Most useful thing you can do on a stock ROM is getting a slimmer kernel.
Most useful thing you can do in general is use an AOSP ROM with a slim kernel.
How often are you restarting your phone (and immediately need to use it) that 30 seconds matters?
You're ****ting me ??
You're actually concerned about a 30 second boot ? Sheesh
Only way around that is to run the most stripped back rom/kernel combination you can get your hands on, have no autoruns and basically install no apps on the phone.

Just to quote as can't believe 30 seconds boot to be an issue... To OP you have a smartphone to which is relative to a computer how long does your computer take to boot? How many times are you really having to restart phone? Not questions as rhetorical......
And an 8 second boot on a SP it must have been turbo #ROM
I'm stock S-on rooted and have frozen some bloat. However the phone takes about 4 min. To boot up. What can I do to speed up the boot?
Select fastboot and that should help, it's under settings > power options I believe.

Takes mine a solid 1.5-2 minutes to boot(without fastboot checked). Do you guys have any frozen bloat? Wondering if something there could be causing it. Stock OS or ICS?

And fastboot was unchecked? Mine boots that fast with fastboot, but not when unchecked.
I remember stock with many apps booting fast. But with like forty taking forever.
ReZound
I'm stock, S-On and rooted. I have frozen some bloat apps, but nothing that should affect boot.
During the boot process it stays at the 4G LTE scteen for the majority of the time.
Once it passrs that it is quick. Whay would cause it to hang at that point?
same here
I call BS on anyone that says their rezound boots in 30 seconds from a power off with fastboot unchecked. Post a video showing it after pulling the battery.
Even all the customs I've run boot slow, and even once the screen is on, it still has to connect to the radio, mount the sd, etc. ICS boots faster than GB.
My HD7 booted in 25 seconds, which was kind of a waste because I only had to reboot it once in 9 months.
Mine takes for freaking ever. Makes my ancient Palm Pre look like a speed demon. Rebooting is a walk away and get a snack affair.
Mine takes about 4-5 minutes to boot the first time after clearing the dalvik cache and cache partition, but every subsequent boot takes like 30 seconds or so and I have fast boot disabled.
My girlfriends myTouch Q takes about 10 minutes to boot though, so don't be too worried about a couple minutes.
One thing that I do know is that the more apps you have on your device, the longer it will take to start up. It apparently does some sort of "optimization" on all the apps at each boot, making it take extremely long if you have a bunch of stuff on there.
There is definitely a difference between restarting and powering on/off. I have fast boot on and if I restart the phone it takes a few minutes, but if i power off then back on it is quicker.

I read your comment and decided to try. I am running Newt's one xxx with fastboot enabled. I timed from the time I pushed the power button to when the x disappeared from the signal bars, which meant radio was connected: exactly 1mn 5 sec. Not as fast as the 25-30 sec that some claim, but a lot faster than the 4 minutes the OP is experiencing. Sorry, I don't have regular standalone camera to make a video. My rezound's camera is good enough for me
It pisses me off to see me and many others complain about such a basic thing as LAG in this "super powerful" device.
What is the point of all this tons of CPU, huge RAM and etc., if it cannot manage basic tasks quickly. that's great that i can play 3D games, but I want my phone to be responsive as it used to be in the beginning.
How come I need to wait for 5 seconds for my contact list to load? 3 seconds for my SMS to load, 2 seconds for an app to load in the application center. 1.5 second until it responds to a home button. You expect this kind of basic tasks to be done INSTANTLY.
So what if I have lots of contacts? Doesn't Android follow BASIC programming concepts?
That is first load the frame, then show LOADING, then load the most necessary (in that case would be the first part of the list) and then load the rest. This way it doesn't feel laggy for the user. How come it simply loads for 5 seconds without any response and then shows ALL at once.
Everything is laggy, almost anything I press takes 1-2 seconds to respond the first time. Second time is mostly instant.
Tried to clean cache of all apps, using memory cleaners, disable double home click, I am at version 4.3, using Go Launcher.
How can I find if there's a specific app that causing it? Or what should I clean to make it go smooth as it used to be when it was new? all these task managers and such don't make ANY difference. Total waste of time.
Don't mind me being pissed and thank you for your input
P.S. - My device is not rooted.
yeah....that's why i put my S4 aside and bought the G2. it's touchwiz. it's horribly optimized and has been since JB. on ICS, touchwiz was great. it was snappy, fast, awesome. it was amazing on my S3. then the S3 got JB, and it turned to utter garbage. now, every samsung phone since JB is awful.
they really need to scrap TW and code it all over again.
I'm not getting this 5 second lag. 1 and a half seconds perhaps on the contact list and I have maybe 210 people on there.
If you're getting 5 seconds of lag I think something's up. I'm getting pretty quick responses WITH Power-Saving Mode enabled. With it disabled I don't really notice anything different tbh lol.
Sorry you're having a pain of a time. If you're going to get a new phone I would suggest the Nexus 5 :laugh:
I'm stock non-rooted.
Nova Launcher
That's it.

Nah, I'm not gonna get a new phone just because of that.
Could you perhaps tell me with which accounts you sync your contact list? I would assume that's related. Also are you trying it after your has been idle for a while? (it's much more responsive when I open it the second time)
Because of all the bloat you have installed...take off go launcher lol
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
Go launcher is the worst. Go to the dev settings and change animation time to 0.5x or off, get apex or nova and use the fastest animation speeds, try different dialer & messaging apps. Don't use memory cleaners or task managers just delete whatever apps you don't use. Basically avoid using as much touchwiz crap as possible lol. Also know that live wallpaper and a lot of widgets cash slow things down too. I would think keeping all the stupid proximity sensor stuff on doesn't help either.

It really does suck how slow this phone is considering it's hardware. Samsung needs to hire some new people because my girlfriend's htc one is very smooth and snappy with almost no lag (minus att 's slow 4g network) I wish htc would pull their heads out of their a**es and build good phones with good cameras with removable batteries and sd cards :banghead:

My S4 flies. I have no complaints at all. I've used titanium and gotten rid of all the BS too.
I agree TW has a lot going on but can be set up quite good and run quite fast. I've looked at other phones over and over again, trying to get back into flashing ROMs, but I keep landing back at my S4. It's still an awesome phone

Don't mistaken transition speed for loading/processing speed which are two totally different things. The S4 is no slouch, if it's "lagging" like you said, it's an app for sure. I nor anyone I know with an S4 has experienced this phantom lag. But then again we don't blow up our phone with launchers, widgets, or 5 different apps telling me my battery level and apps running.

whatever61, did your phone behave like you have explained (lag) when you first bought it? If the answer is no then you have an apps/widgets/or other software on the phone causing you the problem. The ole' saying 'keep it simple stupid' kind of applies here (not saying at all that you are stupid). There are only so many resources in our phones...cpu capabilities, memory etc. The resources in our S4s are pretty significant considering the size and the limited power available. It really boils down to this...the more task you demand your phone to perform the more resources it uses and at some point it has to slow down to reallocate the limited resources it has...lag. Task managers use more resources than they save...live wallpaper is a resource hog...widgets (weather, facebook, goggle now, goggle +, pandora etc) constantly updating and running are resource hogs...contracts with added thumbnails, although "neat", take up not only memory but take longer (resources) to process when you want to look at one (when you call up a contact do you want the information or do you want to look at a picture, which one of those do you NEED?)...email and messaging apps that have to sync more than a few days of old mail/messages is a waste time and resources...Samsung has put a lot of "cute" animations and gesture sensitive "crap" on our phones...they are "cute" but not necessary and use resources. Bottom line...do a factory reset, decide what you need and "keep it simple stupid". (Again, I'm not calling you stupid!!).
Don't worry, I didn't think you are calling me stupid
Yes, if I remember correctly in the beginning it was working faster (but cannot say for sure what and where was the lag already existing and where it wasn't) and what you're saying about widgets, lots of apps and all that is very obvious and very general (thanks for the input, though). The don't install too many apps or reset to factory approach is not something I think a correct approach. I bought a super powerful phone to be able to install whatever I want on it, right?
Besides an example that I provide is that when I am in the application manager and pressing on an application it takes like 2 seconds to open up. I don't think it's related to me having too many apps.
I think that I should be able to see which app is causing the lag in each case and then make my decision based on it. Yes, I can install different task managers to show me which app is taking how much CPU and RAM, but I don't see anything exceptional there. Problem is at specific actions I do, so it would be good to see what happens (like in Chrome inspect element) when I press on the action, which processes are being launched, how much time it takes for them to complete and how much CPU was used at each process. A log like that would do the job.
Besides my post was more about the wrong engineering (see the example of the Contact list lag) and the fact that many people complain about the lag in S4 and a question if someone knows about a tool that can help me find what is causing the lag (see description of the tool above).
Thanks

I understand your frustration and your point is well taken. I don't know of a utility/app that will enable you to clearly identify an app or process that is causing the lag you experience. I know doing a Factory Reset is a big PITA and I never recommend that to someone unless I know of no other "cure" for the problem. And, sometimes a Factory Reset isn't the cure either. But often it is. The reason I recommended Factory Reset is that it is about the only way you can (that I know of) start with a "clean" phone and nail down the app or apps that are causing a problem as you reinstall them one or two at a time. I have a developer edition S4, rooted and bootloader unlocked, and I usually will do a factory reset every two or three weeks even while running a ROM that has been debloated and "fine tuned". It usually improves battery life and the phone works smoother...or maybe it's just my imagination, but I don't think so. Anyway, good luck, hope you find the problem. Maybe some wise ole' guy will come along and point you in the right direction.

Well, for the most reliable experience, it is always best to stick with stock.
My advice is to run stock everything for a day to see if that's the problem. Your other option would be a factory reset in which I am trying to make you avoid.
Do you have 3rd party apps installed like sms/launcher/dialer/lockscreen/etc.? I can't imagine the amount of processes going on if someone had all those apps installed.

I really dont understand why people complain about this so called lag. I've had no such thing since I got my s4 right when they came out.
My girlfriend gets her S4 acting all strange sometimes too, can seem laggy. However she is constantly downloading music and she uses like 3 programs to do so. I've had to remove quite a few of those apps and then it's working like new again. Sometimes a lot of the apps available out there just aren't the best and can screw things right up I think. I've had none of the issues she's had. Mine has been fast as hell since day one. And hers is back to normal too, I just have to keep an eye on her!!
