For a few months at least now my galaxy ace has been having numerous problems - The main one being that most times when I receive a text I'll get it 3 or 4 times. I put up with that for quite a while, thinking it might just go away - I was wrong! After trying a few things that didn't work I decided to flash onto a different rom... whilst that seemed to work I started having other issues with the phone, until at one point it wouldn't accept my passcode so I couldn't get onto the phone, and so I did a reset, which fixed that issue. But after that I soon reverted back to the stock rom to avoid it happening again, and I have the same issue again where I receive texts multiple times, but over the past couple of days I also find it nearly impossible to write a text message! I'll press on the typing area, and when I type nothing appears... I fixed this in the end by downloading a task manager and killing just about everything - at which point it types (so I've established that it's down to the RAM usage) now the weird aspect I've found with my RAM is that despite nothing running it never goes below 200MB in use out of the 290MB.... Surely that isn't right? My phone runs incredibly slowly no matter what is happening and it's driving me crazy!
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I regret buying this phone so much now, but can't afford a new one at the moment
If you don't care about your data like sms, and are able to reinstall all ypur apps (use titanium backup for example), flash a new rom or the same if you want. It should be really faster, and then take care of your phone, restart it every one or two days to clean cache, don't install too many apps, our phone is not made for intensive use.
Hit thanks !

Hi, I'm backing up at the moment - Do you think it'd cause the issue again if I also back up/restore my data as well as the apps?
I'm backing up now, so I'll let you know how it goes!
Thanks :fingers-crossed:
I think it would be better to not restore all datas, only those that you need (game data and stuff like that) but not all system data. For contact sync with google, for sms use sms backup, but don t restore everything !
Hit thanks !

That seems to have helped with the texting issue! Thanks, hopefully it won't come back again in a few days!
ram usage above 200 is i think normal...
i have 40-45 apps installed on the phone..and ram usage is always just around 200 mb..
but still my phone runs very smooth..
if u want lesser ram usage, i suggest u should use an app called autorun manager and block some apps which constantly runs in the background..!!

Yup it's normal
Mine was 230 all the time before using rafael kernel with domscript supercharger and crossbreeder entropy generator and now
It's 170
It's normal don't worry
Otherwise install the above things like I have done

I can't figure it out, but in the last two-three days, I've had considerable slowdown on all apps and ADW menus and homescreens. Is there an easy way to figure out what is using all the resources and remove it? I have gone over everything that I have installed in the last few days and deleted most of them, but I still have the lag and I can't figure this out. From the time I rooted and updated to 026, the phone has been great and pretty fast and the batt life has been pretty good as well, but now all of that has changed, so something is killing my phone slowly. Any ideas/help/similar stories??
Thanks for your help guys..
"spare parts" gives you various stats under battery usage, you could check what apps etc have been using up CPU time - could give you a clue?
Also bug reporter will let you email the log files to yourself for inspection.
Thanks for the quick response... I totally forgot about spare parts. It was helpful and the problem has been resolved. Back to normal and fast again...
Thanks for the help...
I find that if I leave my phone on too long without restarting then it tends to start lagging up a lot. I usually have to restart every 3-4 days.
agreed.. I find the same issue-- a required restart every few days or the phone begins to lag quite a bit. Not sure of the cause though.

Could you tell what the problem was and how you managed to isolate it? Thanks

The problem seemed to be with fancy widgets, so I figured the update didn't install right, so I uninstalled it, re-installed it and rebooted the phone and everything is a-ok..
But, I did use spare parts to isolate the usage stats..
where is everyone getting fancy widgets? cuz i'm not seeing it on the market
edit: kk so i found a download for it on google. next question. you said your's recently updated.... to what version? i just got 1.2.4..
I'm sure 1.3.0 was the last version they made before they stopped..
here ya go!!

The laggy problem after long time not reboot which your guys mention was caused by applications running, i think. Did you try Task killer? If not, after a day, there are many running program in the cache and your fone would soom run out of memory.
I do use advanced task killer pro and some cache cleaner as well, but even so, I still have to reboot every few days or the slowdown problem re-emerges..
I am keeping my eyes on the usage stats in case I have some rogue program that just eats memory too often.
Hi, I run the latest Miui and in the morning when i unlock the phone it's freezed and
many apps are opened. The first one is Opera mini, dialer, mesages, gps software
and many others witch i've opened during the day.
I kill apps about every hour but the problem persists.
if anybody encountered this problem before. THANKS!
Android open the apps to keep them in RAM memory, to start them faster (they dont have to be loaded into RAM every time you want to use them). It's different from the Windows working, where the smoothness of the system depends on the free Ram. You should not worry about the opened apps, it's normal, don't kill them because it will cause those freezes it's difficult to explain, read about it, it was mentioned about million times
only kill apps when system is freezing

I should try to wipe cache and dalvik cache. I solved so many problems this way, but the truth i have never similar as you.
Or it cannot help, reinstall the rom the last stable one (2.4.6 maybe or Wiui 2.3.30 I used the last one without any error)
I'm new to this forum so I really have no idea what I'm doing. And I'm not crazy smart with my phone. I have a Droid Eris and it's super slow. Everything runs slow even when no applications are open. I dont have a lot of apps open because I have the task killer. I got rid of all my texts too and deleted a few apps. When I go to call someone, it's delayed for about two minutes and finally calls. I also have problems with text messages, sometimes when I go to text back I'll type but nothing will show up in the box where I'm typing. I was reading about roots and such, but I have no idea how to go about doing this or changing everything so it can be faster. I need some serious step by step information as I'm not familiar with all the terms and what everything means. I've seen a few posts about this but don't understand it at all. Please help!
These phones are not fast period lol my fiance uses one and i rooted and flashed many roms to it and it still has a lag....shes running cm7 and its better than the stock rom but still laggy....even on froyo its laggy but guess that what we get using a 3+ year old phone

Is your phone rooted or unrooted? If rooted what ROM are you running?
Either way, when's the last time you deleted a bunch of old text messages? I think I've read that when you have a buildup of a lot of old text (and especially MMS) messages, it can slow your phone down.
If all else fails and you're running the stock (unrooted) ROM, you could try a Factory Reset. The phone will be just like when it was new, so you should back up your apps that you have installed, and their data, if you feel you must, then after the Factory Reset only add things back a little at a time. I find that once your phone has less than 40MB of RAM left on a regular basis, that it really causes it to slow down tremendously.
I have unrooted S3, 4.0.4.ICS
I noticed that when press for example data usage in settings menu it takes a little more time to open (same goes for other selections in settings menu)...sort of a lag if i can call it like that and it's really noticable...well that was pretty annoying and i dunno if that was when i bought it but i noticed it just now.
i tried to uninstall some apps and other things that might coused it but the thing didn't change...ok...than i decided to do a factory reset but before that i made a recovery backup in KIES (man, that program sucks )
first...what i found was that after factory reset the thing didn't change...so that is my first question...did anybody noticed that or is it just my problem in settings menu? is it normal or should i be doing some extra work to change it?...
second...i had no other than to recover my backup in KIES....wow....that took almost 2 hours!!! i mean wtf!!!is it normal? and i have to say that the most time was on uploading apps (around 35 of them but around 250mb total)....what's the best thing...only a few apps were on mobile when process finally finished?! so where are the others? they were uploaded, i saw it.
dunno know what to say...really disappointed about the whole process and in the end i didn't solve my first problem...
any ideas on this? anyone had the similar situation and is it normal for KIES to take so much time???
thanks in advance
Install JB with odin (It will wipe garbage and leftovers)
But I recommend flash root and superwipe. Than flash InsertCoin (Nice rom, mostly no lags, good game perfomance, overnight drain ~1%)
hi
i have galaxy s3 with JB 4.1.2 rooted I9300 rom Poland
and my problems start
1 . Even after cleaning and after WIPE high fine
He first 600 of 833MB
After a few minutes he 720 phone starts to feel like a slow
I go to games and everything works great no problem
But I hear songs song stuck in another and back again lodged a second
The battery runs down very quickly because of the high RAM
2. My alarm does not always ring
Once I woke up and saw it only vibrate
Even once someone called me and was just a vibrate
He calls me back and then have a song
3. Someone calls me take a few minutes to load the contact's name
4. My friend sent me a picture that SMS is not via software or something.
MMS.
So he sent and I do not get the picture he sent me.
If he sends only standard message I get. But if a picture is "MMS" I do not get.
Why?
and more problems!
i just want to back to ICS Seriously this version was only one problem the device heats up quickly and that's it.
Everything works great for me there is no problem. The device was amazing.
But in JB device always stuck full of problems
Do you have a solution to all these problems?
Do not tell me to delete just do WIPE or go to CM10 or something
Or you saying wait Android 5?
Sounds like you may have a bad app or bad something else. I have been on JB since the leaks and they are awesome compared to the ICS versions.
But you may want to download the most recent version and install it clean.
And wiping everything is a good thing as it cleans out phone and lets the user only reinstall the needed apps. Well for me at least

ever time i change my rom i do full wipe "everthing like new phone buyin now"
and i have backup for titanium backup ok
and all my app from google play i buy apps beecause I support developers
and i now what app is good or bad.
OK if your using titanium back up, only restore the app not the data.
There could be some old data that is messing it up. Like I said, its actually better to start all over and redownload all apps and start new.

Can't say I share your experiences. Jelly bean is fine.
Do a full wipe and just don't restore any data or app...
That should fix all your problems

JB rom is pretty fine according my experiences, however if you are not satisfied with the stock one try a modded rom.
Regarding the RAM I wouldn't worry at all. Android takes care of the problem and will kill apps before ram gets overfilled as far a I understood. RAM I guess isn't the problem for any lags. I recommend to try different Kernels istead, Boeffla for example which works pretty fine with my rom.
Also battery drain is not a RAM problem it is caused by applications working in the background which suck the battery. There is a nice program in the App store called Greenify that allows you to fine tune this.
Format sdcard system data cache preload .
Flash whatever firmware you want via Odin .
Do not install apps or restore TB .
Test for one week problems then return to service .
