So recently my eris has been lagging really bad to the point where its pissing me off. it was working fine for a couple of month then the lag started so i factory reset my phone but the lag is still there. it would lag from 30 seconds to mins... I have the latest sensable rom on my phone and i dont think its the rom that is bad..
I was wondering what i can do about this lag.. is my phone broken? Another thing to add is that when the lag started my trackball also started to mess up it occasionally... a lot... moves the left. connection?
If your trackball is starting to scroll to the left at random times, then the lag could definitely be a hardware issue. I had the same issue before I got a replacement Eris. If your phone is still within warranty, then I would take it in and ask for a replacement.
i bought my phone used off of ebay... so i dont think i have warranty...

I remember seeing a thread long time ago with a guide about cleaning underneath the trackball. Removing lint and other particles might help your situation.
Just did a search. There are more thread regarding it, but here is one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=716681
Have you changed your cpu frequency lately? It might not like the speed you are running it at. Also if you are using the setcpu widget that can cause problems.

thanks for the tip on fixing the trackball. it kinda works for me it doesnt scroll to the left as often now. but im still laggggggging like crazy.
i dont know how to change the cpu... i never messed with oc. just install the rom and thats it.

What ROM are you using? Many of the custom ROMs have SetCPU built in. It is fairly simple to use. Just adjust the slider bars for the minimum and maximum speeds. If you set it too high, it can cause kernel panic, which may result in random reboots and lag at times. Higher speeds also consume more battery power. If the minimum is too low, it might take a bit longer to wake up, once the screen is off.
I'm using senseable Rom. There isn't the setcpu app.

How reliable is Plants vs Zombies on your Vibrant? Its a hit/miss on mine. Sometimes it works great, smooth even with lots of stuff going on, other times its slow and locks up my phone where I have to do a hard reboot. Then today my saved games were gone...
What file system are you using? I have no troubles in it, i even managed to finish it without hiccups.
Runs like a dream. Except a warning to all - it freezes if the low battery warning pops up at 15%. At least it did for me

Yeah, very smooth, no issues. I've backed it up with ti backup 3x and restored going from rom to rom already, no issues there either.
Where do i find plants vs zombies?
well, when i first downloaded it, i was running Asgard, the 2.3.3 rom from EDT. It wouldnt load up. It froze at the sand time thingy before the PopCap logo. Now I'm on Heathen's Galaxy S 2 clone rom, and it runs fine. Only played 3 levels so far though, so haven't put much gameplay time into it.

If you press hone or press the phone power button, it puts the game into "hibernation" instead of on pause, but it's because of how much the game has to preload into memory. It's no quitting, it's just not instant resume.

I've now lost all progress twice following a hard-reset, both times on Bi-Winning V3 and OC'ed to 1480 mHz... I was also streaming Pandora both times and recieved a notification during gameplay which seems to have casued the freeze-up (I've been OC'ing without issue for months).
Perhaps it's pertaining to EDT's coding? My girlfriend hasn't had any freezing or progress-loss on her stock fascinate.
I hate that you have to signed into Amazon to play it. Sketchy.

even though you've been OCing for months, it most probably is related to your OC. even if you think you are stable, there isn't an app out there that can test the stability of our phone OCs to be sure.
It's running pretty well for me except that I have to redo the level when someone calls me.

I doubt you need to sign in to Amazon to play the game. I have DroidWall blocking internet access to all my games and it still runs pretty well.
If you mean sign in to Amazon to download the game, this has been explained and discussed in other threads.

Well for me whenever I get a text or a call, (I have a SMS popup) the game pauses and whenever I get back to it, it picks up where I left off.
As for signing into Amazon, I think it checks to see if you are signed in on the Amazon App Store app to make sure that it's tied with the right account.

You only need to be signed in the first time you run it. Same with all Amazon apps. I do not have a data plan, use WiFi only, and that is all I ever have to do and have no problems. If you change roms, after you load your backup you need to be signed in the first timer you run it and that's it.

Could be the reason but I wouldn't say probably. If you look at the reviews of this game in the Amazon appstore people are reporting a lot of bugs including lost progress. While it is true that some of the people that report this bug may be overclocking I highly doubt it's all of them. The bottom line is the game has issues (hence the 3 1/2 star rating) and things like this will happen until these issues are addressed in an update.

I have been running it on Heathen's SGSII clone v2 rom with no problem for a few days now. I haven't enabled voodoo or OC'd because when i've had voodoo enabled before, TW4 FC'd a lot and it seemed to run hot. But so far, i've had no problems what so ever with voodoo disabled and no OC.
I dunno if anyone has mentioned this in particular. I did see someone said that if they get a text or a call it goes right back to where they left off. Not for me. I got a call when I was on level 2-1 and when I came back it had to load from the hour glass and then my saved game was gone. LAME!
Hey I was just wondering if anyone had the same problem as me or if its been asked before. But my battery gets hotter than usual now when I'm doing things such browsing or playing a game. It didn't do this is CM7.2 and I didn't know if this was a known problem with cm9.

Some people have mentioned that their phones got warmer. I would check out the running processes that you have...I went back to cm7.2 for now.
Alright thanks. I think I might switch back until another beta comes or it becomes stable.
Try rebooting a couple times. Mine got hot after initial boot up but was fine after a couple reboots.
Mine stays warm with cm9. I went back to lokos rom. Its killer. CM9 has just not worked well for me. Freezes and reboots. Random force closes without the fc notification. Odd stuff. And I've installed all the different ways ya can. And the ICS update for the mopho isn't scheduled till the 3rd quarter. So don't expect a perfect ICS till the leaks start for that update. Fortunately we have devs like Joker on it and we might just get lucky enough to have a stable build before the ota rolls out in the fall.

Mine doesnt seem any warmer than usual unless I'm going non stop with it plugged in or something. Battery life is pretty tremendous on Beta too
I've not noticed any excessive heat. Been running this pretty hard since installing the from yesterday.

Ive been running CM9 and constantly keeping up with new releases since the first few Alpha builds. Mine gets relatively hot(45 degrees Celsius give or take) when doing something like gaming for a while or downloading large files over 3g. Other than that i have no heat issues, and i haven't had a single force close or random reboot on the latest Beta builds. If you go to it make sure to full wipe everything the first time and you should have little, if any, issues.
I'm running the 0.1.0 beta and the camera is supposed to be working right? I'm unsure if I have to do something. Because for me as of now it is not working. Any help?

I would try rebooting the phone a couple times. Some people ran into this issue and suggested it. Otherwise, I would wipe cache/dalvik and reflash the ROM and gapps and reboot.

If you go into the settings you can adjust how fast you will allow the processor to run. If you reduce this then you will have less heat from it working so hard. They are running a bit hot because CM9 unlocks alot of their true power.

On paper this is the best galaxy s ever, we all know that, but I have had this phone for 2 weeks now, and I have had the worst android experience on any phone, I had owned every phone on the galaxy s line since the beginning.
I haven't seen any phone with more lags or software flaws than this one.
To begin, the wakeup lag, sometimes more than 10 secs for the phone to wakeup.
The sd card read/write lag, I change my sd card to a Samsung top notch one, and the lag is still noticeable.
Memory issues, I recreates thisnissues in may ways, open up a game (plants vs zombies 2) play for a couple of mins, lock the phone, and see if you can weke it up.
I noticed a bit more smotthnes after the updatw but still the performance on this phone is just awful.
I hope this is an isolated issue, but I have seen a lot of people complaining about the lag as well.

Yes, it might be a "T-Mobile" version problem, I am pretty sure this are software related problems, I would like to see it running on a vanilla version of android, it has to be TouchWiz messing it up, but anyway, this had to be thoroughly tested before releasing it to the public, shame on T-Mobile/Samsung, hope a fix is on the way.

Try using the international stock roms. On the S4, those were MUCH better that the US version roms. I know it requires rooting, but you'll probably be happier and it doesn't really matter if you're outside your return period anyway.
I don't have any of those problems either.

Great phone, no issues, where did you buy yur phones?
I've had the phone for a while now and it hasn't lagged once, the fingerprint scanner works over 90% of the time, and signal is good as well. Yeah, the HR monitor is a total gimmick, but to say this phone is "the worst galaxy" is a bit extreme.
So either I got extremely lucky and got 2 phones without any problems, or some people are getting unlucky with their purchase.

Sometimes, no matter what I've tried, I'll be using the phone and let the screen turn off, When I push the home button, nothing, the phone is still running but I can't see anything, I try to use the power button and again nothing, I have to pull the battery and restart the phone to get it working. There is a group of people that are experiencing the problem and at first people thought it may be SD card related but it is not conclusive at this point. It will work fine sometimes for days, then all of a sudden pull the above mentioned crap.
Exactly, onlast Sunday every time I locked the screen it would never wakeup, I had to remove the battery like 3 times, it has been OK for the las 2 days though, but this is frustrating, I mean, I haven't even rooted the phone yet, I read that 4.4.3 is on its way, hope that addresses these performance issues.

Yes I agree this phone is very laggy specially the camera they send me a "new" phone and the problem still there, also i usually charge it at night
and this morning the screen was on the boot screen logo i had to remove the battery it sucks
So, I keep researching the reasons of why some of us have this issues, today I went to the "t-mobile my account" app, went to options and deselected all the options (ALL OF THEM), and I notice the fun is a lot smoother, probably the placebo effect, but I will keep trying for a couple of days, if you guys want give it a try.
No issues here, touch wood, using T-Mobile phone on AT&T network.

I've only had the phone for about a week but it's amazing so far, I upgraded from a S2. I play Ingress constantly and lately I've been able to play for 4+ hours at a time before needing to recharge and that's just on the stock battery. I removed all the bloatware I could and turned most everything off just to try and squeeze out every little bit of battery life. The only thing bugging me about the phone so far is that root would void my warranty and I'm a little upset about that but meh, it's not like I ever needed it I'm just a little worried because the phone is so new. I might just wait until the 12 months is up and root the phone then. So far I don't really have a reason to need root but I'm sure that desire will gain in traction as new tools for the device get released. I'm mostly thinking about mods like Cyagenmod, that will be one of the reasons I root and break Knox if I do before the warranty.

I usually do not root my tablets, but I am thinking about rooting my nexus 9. I really enjoy nexus products and I love htc products so I thought the Nexus 9 would be great, but the lag that this tablet has is horrible. I read that it might be hardware issue, since the processor uses denver, but I also heard it might be software related. So I want to ask if the guys who have rooted their tablet experienced less lag or not? If you happen to experience less lag then I would be more inclined to root the tablet. Thanks.

Ok, it helps to be clear. Rooting and flashing are two different things. You can flash a rom without rooting. I'm on stock and have not noticed any significant lag. When you have lag check in developer options, process stats. See where your memory is. If it's in critical clear out open tabs.

OK that does make sense and I'll keep an eye on that, but when I checked now, my memory is in normal condition... However, it is on the closer side of critical though, so that might explain that I experience lag when I open a bigger app... I'm not completely used to the way lollipop multitask

Yeah that don't sound right Currently mine lag for 2 seconds the most... I just feel like it should not lag... It does seem however that putting a custom rom helps a little... Just my two sense
I have a lot installed on my nexus 9 but my nexus 6 has the same apps and even more installed. The Nexus 6 is instant and buttery smooth. My nexus 9 also can take a while to screen rotate.
The Nvidia chipset is very driver dependent, therefore software dependent. Read the Anandtech reiew article and it will clarify why there are short pauses/freezes sometimes with the N9.
Let's hope 5.1 fixes this...
you want nasty lag, goto htc's N9 web page.. I've not seen a poorly coded webpage with that type of lag in ages.
I know, its not the lag you are talking about , but I had to say something about it someplace ?

I don't notice lag on my N9, but I just came from using my N7 2012. Its horrible, so my 9 seems supercharged. I do have freeze ups in Chrome occasionally, but that's about it. I must not max out my memory enough.
Wiping the cache seemed to help a little. I'm going to sell my Nexus 9. For a flagship reference there shouldn't be any lag. I'm sticking to Qualcomm chip set for now.
I have never rooted my N9 and got my device in Nov. I'm running the latest 5.01 and started to notice lag creeping in every 30 - 45 seconds (for no apparent reason). It wasn't very noticeable surfing the web or navigating the tablet but became very apparent playing games. Power cycling the device did nothing.. I was hoping the 5.1 update would solve the problem but grew too impatient waiting for it to arrive so I decided to flash the stock 5.01 image onto my device (from google site). All the lag is gone now, games that were previously unplayable due to the lag are now buttery smooth again. Not sure what caused the lag to begin with but stock 5.01 image reflashing solved my problems.

Yeah a few people has mentioned that flashing the stock image helped out quit a bit, but I'm running a rooted version of 5.1 and it's running great... Which I think means it's the memory leak causing the issue, and even though there is still a memory leak on 5.1 it's much better...
Sent from my LG-D850 using XDA Free mobile app
In my case I don't think it was the memory leak issue causing the lag. If that was the case then power cycling the device would have resolved the issue momentarily. But it did not. The lag was consistently present regardless of the numbers of power cycles and clearing of all "recent apps".
I can understand the frustration some have voiced in the forums making it sound like the N9 is plagued with issues. Re-flashing stock 5.01and bringing back my tablet to the same state (reinstalled all apps again) it was in solved my problems. Hopefully the 5.1 OTA fixes whatever lag has been introduced with previous updates.
