hello,
i have searched on web about this subject but no accurate solution found. my problem is that when i hit contacts, it opens after 3-4 secs. then it opens instantly. after browsing web or facebook or something different, then it waits 3-4 secs again to enter contacts. it happens at all roms i have tried (turkbey, agabey, omega, anonorom, md, crdroid, cyanogenmod, viking). stock rom has the same lag. the situation continues when i hit message or dailer. it is not related with the animation speed i guess. older samsung mobiles have faster response (ace, wonder or sii). thisi is annoying.
some lags occur while browsing facebook (not too much but sensing).
anyone know how to get rid of this problem?
best regards
Dialer lag on Cyanogenmod...............No. Stock Contacts app being slow has been pointed out numerous times. It is being killed from ram to make room for other apps. Either use Exdialer which can be kept in memory, Purchase JKAY Deluxe settings, or accept the slowness.

The problem is because the Contact and Phone aps are getting killed off from the memory after sometime.
1) use a third party app like exDilaler.
2) Install jKay's framework and white list Contacts and Dialer. This will lock the app in memory.
Just download exdialer from play store.
I think U have installed some task manager/killer which kills the running apps after some time.
And due to which there is a delay in contacts opening.
Add this app not to kill in settings !
Thread moved to proper forum.

thanks for answers,
first of all; i do not use any app killer programs. i can understand that the phone is killing app to open room on ram for other apps. what about galaxy s2? i tried opening contacts on this device many times and it is quite fast in every time. if i saw same problem on lower models i would accept that lag for contacts. but i do not understand how s2 could kept it in ram and why s3 could not. and it is laggy when browsing contacts. not too much but you can see it.

Same problem here, contacts opening to slow for normal use, >5 sec. running latest omega rom.
I tried different roms, also to restore contacts from kies but its the same. >5 sec.

Hi guys,
Have had my Hero just over a month now and love the thing to bits...
The one thing (battery life aside) that pees me off though is that the phone can be slow at times...
It seems to stem from apps either opening themselves and running in the background, or not closing properly when I select to close them.
I seem to spend half my time using the phone in TaskKiller getting rid of everything that shouldn't be running before I can do anything.
Has anyone got any smart ideas on how I can improve the problems above?
I've also noticed when I switch the phone off and back on a) it improves things slightly, but b) it also runs lots of things that I don't need open so is there a way to stop things running on start up?
Thanks for the help guys.
To show you what I mean, I just restarted the phone and killed everything except:
WaveSecure Beta
com.google.android.apps.mapssomething that goes off the screen) - can't kill this
HTC Sense
Touch Input
com.htc.provider
Go back to it 10 minutes later and I also have the following open:
Settings
vizBattery
Wi-Fi Status
Google Mail
Thats without me touching it at all.... if I had also used the Twitter app, Facebook, messaging etc then they would all still be open, the browser and music player would probably be there too.
It's normal fo it to start some apps on its own, for example peep (htc's twitter program) the music player (only if you have a widget on one of the homescreens)
same goes for calander etc etc google mail is push so it has to be opened to recieve messaged realtime.
Things like batterystatus thingy's often drain your battery and sometimes slow down your device I suggest removing that.
Also I don't know about wifi status but can imagine that draining battery to since
I don't think that will be running without your wifi being on. When continuosly searching for networks your device also will slow down, and drain the battery
My english isn't perfect so I hope you understand what I'm saying.
edit: do you use the official t-mobile rom or a custom? Don't know if htc released the last update for t-mob devices. That update really improved almost everything
so if you don't have that it's ''normal'' for the device to lag.
Some apps register themselves to start automatically. Obviously Gmail needs to run if you're syncing a Gmail account.
There's at least one app (paid) that can override this - I believe it is called Startup Auditor.
However, for the most part, it doesn't really matter since many of the apps that appear to be "running" will not be consuming any CPU time (and by extension battery life) unless they are designed to run in the background.
In addition, as Stafflover has already said, I'd also suggest you try removing vizBattery - whilst I've no specific experience with this app, I've heard that many battery status widgets drain the battery significantly.
Regards,
Dave

Hey Pal! I had the same problem then I got into a bit of app development and understood. Some service need to be "broadcasting" and some other to be "listening". Best you can do is sometimes tell them how often to "wake up and check". But if you think about it, a program MUST be checking on a few things, at least sometimes, to give you the "android experience". Also, no matter how much you care about that number you see in the "free ram" widget (assunming you use taskiller with the widget), it is not very important until it REALLY does slow your phone down. Some apps are worse than others at clogging up or draining your battery: try them, weigh how useful they really are for you and then decide what to keep (running) Ciao!
I have a strange problem. My TG01 is very laggy in certain application. I cant use them, bacause scrolling is very choppy in them. So far i discovered that these are:
- parlingo contacts scrolling
- scroling content of email message
- scrolling in pocket informant
- scrolling in ptasks
- scrolling in spb mobile shell in star menu when using sense theme and changing desktops
I dont understand how is it possible that device with such a fast processor can behave like this. My another observation is that some of these issues sometimes disappear - I mean parlingo and email.
I tried diffirent roms and change some settings in registy (font cache) with no luck.
Do You have these problems too? Pliz help
Anyone? I recently tried throttle launcher and without hwarware acc i get 5-10 fps and with acceleration 15-20. It is unusable. I bought device with 1Ghz processor bacuase i wanted it to be fast!
Maybe power saving options?
SD card is slow?
Install programs to main memory instead.
Install Chain Fire 3D drivers.
Free up memory using Clean Ram program.
A list of things you can try.
Power saving settings are OK - best performance
Programs are installed to main memory but i do not think that this lag can be caused by slow sd card.
I had chainfire3d and clean ram but with no help.
Maybe everyone have this issues , but only I see them?

you arent the only one! i suffer these problems as well on the email, i find it very annoying. none of those solutions provide a fix, anyone help?
I also noticed that this strange behaviour sometimes disappears and it runs quite smooth then. It runs smooth in email app for some time after soft reset.
I tried to run some benchmarks (2dmark) and i found that my results are 4-5 times lower than some another user of TG01 posting his results. But this results may not be connected to the lag I am seeing in other applications.

Since I'm on ICS I have this strange problem with the official FB client.
As Soon as i start FB my processor gets pumped up to the maximum of 1ghz. Even when i click the Home Button and start up Voltage Control i can see the processor is at max.
Only when i close FB (with task manager or long press back key on CM9) the processor goes down to 200mhz and stays there...
effect : as soon as i start FB and don't quit it right my battery will be drained in a short time..
Since the first ICS release I am googling this problem but can't find any information about this. Now I'm a little bit fed up with it, thats why i'm posting it here...does anyone else recognize this? is there a workaround?
thanks for the help...
check your battery info,get cpuspy to see what speed your cpu has been going at and the deepsleep and betterbatterystats for wakelocks etc
this guy has similar issue
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1571518
i already checked with all mentioned tools.
strange thing is there is no wakelock... it's only when screen is on but application is in background.
i have this problem on different ICS Roms. at the moment i am on cm9 and it is still present. when i check with "top" in terminal i can see that facebook.katana is at the top keeping the cpu pretty busy.
with samsung roms and the original samsung task manager i can see that it's always using over 50% cpu power.
i tried older versions. tried deinstalling. nothing helps.
i just dont know what it is doing in the background. cpuspy shows me that the cpu is mostly in 1ghz and deepsleep.
edit: i double checked and its also killing deepsleep. sometimes it enters sometimes not...

Same here. I've Galaxy S2 and since update to ICS official firmware have i have this problem. I noticed that all rom that have as baseline official Samsung ICS have this problem, while other (e.g. CyanoMod 9) don't have. The only fix is to kill application from task manager.
Which is your device?

It happens to me on cm9 also... Every ICS Rom.
So No one has a solution for US?
Just to let you guys know that this also happens on my Nexus S with ICS 4.0.4 stock
In fact it happened also with Gingerbread... it started happening when Facebook made a major app overhaul to what is currently the new "user experience" for the past 4-5 months or so... that's when Watchdog which I have installed suddenly started complaining
Sorry for digging out this bit older thread, but have you found a solution yet ? I got the same problem since i changed to ics roms - first sammy leaks, then official, now nightlies. Tried wiping cache, dalvik, userdata, reinstalled app, ... to no effort.
Thinking about coding a facebook-killer widget. Take a look on this screens, 2 hours of cpu time for nothing...

I just use Watchdog what normally complains about Facebook a few minutes after I stop using it. Then I just kill the process from within Watchdog.
Using the browser is fine though.. however some things don't work so well in the mobile browser version.
To me this problem is quite symptomatic however from what I read on the internet it doesn't happen all the time.. even sometimes for me it doesn't stay clogging the cpu but most of the times it does.
I guess they will fix it one day but I wouldn't hold my breath that it will be soon. I read that on the iPhone the way they designed the app is pretty bad (it's sort of a skin over the actual mobile website). For Android it might be the same..
That the facebook devs are coding big BS (sorry) is really known.
Can you provide me a link to the google play site of Watchdog ? Too many results, i don't know which one... thanks

Seems that it's a problem with the official ICS ROMs. Try Friendcaster and see if that's any better.

Theres a funtion which kills a process if you hold the back key.

even by closing with a short press on the back button it will end the process
i uninstalled facebook for this
friends caster is A LOT better than facebook app
personally I didn't like Friendcaster. It was smoother in operation that Facebook's official app but it had some quirks (now can't remember them but there were a few things you couldn't do as opposed to FB's official app). But what stopped me from using it was the extended awake times I was getting even without automatic refreshes set up.
Haven't got a single problem

Hello Proud GS3 owners,
I have been loving the phone so far. However I have had a couple of problems. Haven't rooted the phone so far. Just so that you know. Also its my first android so forgive me for any noobishness
The problems i have been facing are :
1. When I use FB for sync in accounts and sync it has the option to sync calendar and gallery. However the calendar doesn't sync. I have tried to unsync and resync it and all other basic steps that I could possibly think of but it doesn't help.
2. This is a bit unusual (Given the phones top specs) but sometimes I have noticed that the phone starts lagging specially when its hot after using it at a stretch. I make it a point to keep closing the apps running in the background but it still lags. Its fine after a few minutes when the phone isn't hot anymore or when it has not been used extensively. What am I doing wrong? Also just to add Nova 3 isn't t as smooth as I have seen it in the videos on youtube. Could it be a hardware issue?
3. This is the one which really bugs me the other two are no biggies. My apps keep redrawing/refreshing when i open them after minimizing. So if I have a game that i am playing and I decide to use the stopwatch and browse I minimize the game using the home key not the back key. Start the stopwatch. Start browsing. Then I return back and when I open the browser the page reloads itself. Also stopwatch resets itself completely which is a pain in the rear. I am using the stock browser.
Also have tried resetting the phone back to factory default and took the phone to samsung and I believe they flashed the stock ROM but all the above issues have not been fixed.
Any help would be extremely appreciated

3rd one is bad software optimization, there is a fix in the development section for Samsung JB based roms, it will let you multitask 7+ apps.
Second problem, you say the phone is hot when it happens? maybe the CPU got hot too and is throttling down, are you sure powersaving mode is off?
First problem, Facebook for android was really bad, it started improving but facebook developers are dumb, try third party apps like friendcaster.
I agree the facebook app isn't great. However it concerns me when my friend who has the same version of GS3 can get his calendar to sync without using any 3rd party app and I cannot. But I will give a 3rd party app a shot.
I will be searching for the thread you mentioned and try to tweak the settings and see how it goes
I am not really sure what can be done as far as the second issue is concerned. Also as I mentioned earlier I hate it when I play a top notch game like NOVA 3 but it isn't as smooth as expected. Other games like fifa 12, Dead trigger hold up fine.
Thanks for the suggestions though
[Edit] : Yes I do make sure power saving is off as I am aware it slows down the CPU and there is a considerable lag specially when scrolling pages on the home screen or the app drawer which I do not like. It does improve the battery life to a certain extent but I cannot complain if I get a battery life of around 10-12 hours which includes 3 hours of screen time with pretty heavy usage while having the power saving mode off

Hi!
I am using Ubuntu Touch (15.04) Build 57 on my nexus 4.
Im using Ubuntu touch since a couple of weeks now but there is one thing that is really annoying. There is an immense lag when swiping from the welcome screen. Sometimes it takes 3-4 seconds until something happens. I noticed that this is most of the time when the standard browser app is running.... is this a known problem?
I tested with many apps running (Camera, Contacts, Phoneapp, Email App Dekko, Message App, System Settings, etc....) except the browser - the phone is fast and the experience is nice, but as soon as the browser is runnning, the phone is barely usable.... and really slow. The browser itself is okay when it is running... Very Strange...
Does anyone has suggestions what i can do? Is there an alternative browser i can test?
Thanks a ton for helping!

Hi,
There's no other browser which you can use (except one which hasn't seen any updates for a couple of months). That's indeed an interesting observation. Would you mind creating a bug report here? https://bugs.launchpad.net/webbrowser-app
Hi! thanks - yes i reported the bug - hopefully someone will help me solve this - it's nearly unusable like this...
