Poor performance on 4.0.4 - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am on stock and updated to 4.0.4 recently and performance is horrible. Its laggy, tw has crashed several times, the phone has restarted several times, apps take longer to open the list could go on. I did a factory rest which helped initially but the problems have returned. Anyone else having issues?

My only advice is, don't run stock roms. Try out something custom

I just installed it the other day to test it and its the usual crap.The only game I play is backgammon and it was jerky as hell.
I soon reloaded rr3

[Q] slow camera

Hi, I've been using a number of ics roms since it was released and am currently on wanam v 12. I was wondering if anyone else has had a very slow response from the stock camera since moving to ics, never had any problems with gingerbread. The camera takes a picture normally but takes several seconds to finally respond and able to take another picture. Any advice?

Probably not the advice you're looking for, but try miui rom, specifically cmiui. The camera is really nippy on that one.
It may be a CM9 camera apk that's installed in cmiui. You could see if you could track down the apk on its own if you don't want to flash another rom.
And I know what you mean, every ics rom has given me bad lag with taking pics.

The GS2 doesn't have zero-shutter lag, but I am not experiencing a few seconds worth of lag as you are.
Try clearing data in App Info, which will hopefully fix your issue.
Try alternative cameras on the Play Store, namely Camera ICS.
Report back and tell me if that fixes anything.
Hey thanks for the advice! I cleared data on the app and is way faster now.

ICS very very slow...

So ive finally raged and unlocked my bootloader to get rid of the bloatware.. Still its damn laggy..Homescreen redraws Alter using the Browser or heavy games apps are slow to load( sometimes even 15 seconds for chrome...) help is really appreciated!!

I had the same issues on ics, and now on ka09. Though considerably less noticeable on the new kernel. Still major lag in opening apps, and launcher redrawing, using adwlauncher ex.

so there's nothing we can do about it?
Mine had nowhere near those issues. Try wiping the phone and uninstall bloatware.
ICS is working perfectly here,no bugs at all,even without rooting.

I found it unusably slow. I then rebooted it TWICE and left it 15 minutes for the media database to update. It is now smooth as silk.
Just got to sort this one last NFC issue and I will be happy.

Done this twice now.Nothing changed. This is just unacceptable.
I find ICS removing unused apps too fast from the RAM. For example if i go into contacts and Call someone and then in the browser it will take the contacts 3/4 seconds to load again.

WiFi on AOKP is terrible please help :(

OK guys my problem is my WiFi is retardedly slow. I have been using omega ROM and everything was fine it seemed my WiFi was faster when I turned off power save mode. I have just installed resurection remix and I love it its amazing except the WiFi being slow as hell and obviously I can't do the power save mode thing. Is there anything I can do to make my WiFi work normally? Oh and I have never had a problem with it dropping out.

try different kernel
In honesty it only seems to be anything to do with xda, the xda app/tapatalk/xda on browser and sometimes YouTube lags a bit. I have tried clearing the data or everything and tried uninstalling/reinstalling the xda stuff but it just doesn't load quickly I have to have five or six attempts to get it too load.

it can be a bit slow sometimes, using a browser it may be due to adblocker, but also remember it a very active site with a lot of traffic sometimes
Remember only one thread, OP.
Sorry about the two threads like I say it takes ages to load the app and YouTube on AOKP and aosp but when I use the touchwiz based roms and I am able to turn off WiFi power save mode it works flawlessly, only problem is I'm not keen on touchwiz I really like this ROM and would love to keep using it but unless I can get this issue fixed I don't think I'm gonna be able to.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Ah never mind i have gone back to Omega's rom as it seems to be the best touch wiz rom. Hopefully i will be able to use aokp or aosp soon without WiFi issues. Thanks for everyone that tried to help though

You have to go back to ICS before going to any AOSP ROM.
Do I have to go to stock ICS or any custom one? And will that make my WiFi speed normal?
Sent From My Omega'd Galaxy S3 ...
Any custom one will work as long as it is ICS and it should fix any probs you are having.

Strange Lag After ROM Update

Hello!
I updated a ROM and my phone started lagging for no reason. I did a mega wipe and fresh installed the ROM and there is still lag. I even mega wiped and tried another ROM but I'm still getting lag. It usually happens when you open up apps or go into the settings. I'm not too sure what is happening. On stock kernel the lag is even worse and I haven't touched anything. It's a clean install. What could be the problem? Does anyone know? I can't see anything running in the background that might be causing it and I definitely installed the ROM in the right way.
R: Strange Lag After ROM Update
Woah...weird... it might be the kernel, try a good one(siyah) but most likely it is the rom's fault...
Which rom are you using?
Remember the s3 does lag once in a while(often for some) if you do not tweak it and take care of it...though custom roms usually fix 50% of this problem because they remove bloatware and unnecessary processes running in the background.
also the touchwiz launcher is a heavy one...might try a different one...
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I was using Anono Rom v24 and I had to switch to another kernel to get it it to run smooth but the lag is there when you open apps. The same goes for Android Revolution. I've tried using Perseus and Boeffla but still laggy as hell.

Siyah kernel is good man, use that. As for lag reduction i suggest rootbox(light rom) or jellybam(good rom) or foxhound(good as well but heavy).
Then check on the cpu with cpu master app and try to play with tweaks until u get smooth android experience (thats what i did....dont forget to do nanadroid backups every once in a while...)

Thanks. I'll try your suggestions.
