Hi all,
I bought my neo v last week and it was brilliant for 4-5 days. But nowadays the phone response very slow. When I come out of any app the icons take time show up. Earlier it happened only when I came out of games like temple run. Now I've uninstalled it. Now even when I came out if messaging or camera, the icons take time to build.
Sometimes during a call incoming, it takes long time to show the contract details.
Should I do something to check if everything is fine with the phone. I really doubt it is the speed of a 1 ghz processor. Also the ram has only around 50 mb free even only music player is running.
I've installed avira, which I suspect could be the reason for this slowdown. Im unable to uninstall either.
Could someone please help me with these for a android new comer? Please let me know if u needed more details to help me out.

Avira could be the cause, is it installed from market?
Find it Play or the phone's manage application screen to uninstall.
If it is still that slow then try a master reset, anyway it is just 4-5 days' thing to lose.
use superchager v6

Thanks. Im thinking of the reset as the final option if nothing else works. Manage applications can't uninstall avira. It says uninstall faulted. Will try thru play and let you know soon.

wifi disconnects may be router's fault too, some funky power saving crap i know my router has setting to kick clients when no activity is on it
Im using go task manager in mobile. Let me see that could be the problem.

Yes I've now uninstalled needless talk and power managers. It's getting better. But still I've only around 75 mb ram free. Most of the used part is occupied by system services and the software installed by se lyk liveware manager and data monitor. Any suggestion to stop them from unless needed? Anything other than rooting the device?

If you want to stop the bloatwares, you really need to root. You can freeze them or uninstall them permanently, just make some back ups. Have you tried resetting it? I mean factory settings reset? You should try it. Dont install battery savers, task killers and antivirus. It may slow down your phone and eats up your battery. Its better to restart your phone daily to free ram and reset it. If you have done everything but it still becomes slow, contact your phone dealer. You just might have yourself a factory defect phone
like what other said, root your phone or better yet, use custom roms. those bloatware is eating your ram thats why your phone is sluggish. as pandemic said use v6 supercharger to handle the memory.
It is a primitive sort of advice but if u don't want to root your phone...then try auto memory manager and set a parameter to autokill background processes...the processes u don't want to be killed can be whitelisted.
And try some kind of startup manager to prevent unwanted apps from launching by their own...but even then some of them would initialize bcoz of other events...that's where auto memory manager comes to play.
But last advice...its really a very good idea to root your phone to gain full control...service centres really don't care if you are rooted or not unless you unlock the bootloader.
Edit: am not sure if startup managers require root or not...it would have been stated in the app description.

I checked with other person who s using the same mobile. His is comparatively better and games perform better than mine. I'll go for reset but can someone tell me how can I back up all my data. Should I download all the apps again if I reset? I'm really worried since I dont own a broadband but just downloading using mobile internet. Can we back up apps also?

Use MyBackup or ESfile explorer to backup your apps...there is a pile of apps in the play store.
Use Elixir2 or system panel lite for every detail of your phone.

Slow with opening apps? Or slow user interface? It shouldn't be slow unless he has tonnes of apps.

Do not make him buy a new phone, this phone can be hella snappy actually!
Start by rooting your phone, you can easily find a tutorial just by searching the forum or via google.
My personal preference:
ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1263292
Tweak: V6 SuperCharger Update 9 Beta 6.2.2 (tutorial here)
When installing the tweak, chose option 7 (agressive for 512HP)
APPS: Autostart (find it in market)), preventing useless apps to start, but you must have chose the apps manually.
Auto Memory Manager(find it in market), chose agressive and save the changes.
If he is new at these sort of stuff it could take some time to get it right but it's totally worth spending a day fixing it, he'll get a fast a snappy phone in long term.
Has he tried using the task manager to clear memory? It sounds like he downloaded an application that doesn't behave the way it should (memory/cpu hog). If clearing memory helps he has to find and uninstall the misbehaving app(s), i think there's an app called watchdog or something which monitors memory and cpu usage of all installed apps.
If that doesn't help, go i'd go for a reset. And before buying a new phone, give the custom roms a go because they do tend to increase performance quite a bit!
Thankyou for the quick replies everyone very helpful, he gets force closes on twitter and facebook all the time and also it just randomly shuts down aswell.

hi! regarding the suggested tweak? is there a detailed summary on how to use and instal this type of tweak? ive been reading the post and it seems it only has the overview.. thanks!
my advice is just forget all those mumbo jumbo tweak script. its already incorporated in cfroot kernel. its also doesnt make sense. all it does is doing the same thing. tweak vm dirty, tweak minfree, tweak stagefright and so on with the only difference is the fancy mancy name to make it looks yummy. people just install 2-3 script with different name when all it does is the same, and u actually already done it when using cfroot.
You might also want to avoid CM because it's unstable, just flash a stable custom rom that's still in active development. Make sure to get the latest cfroot kernel version.

They have, but UK operators are notoriously slow with pushing their own, branded versions. Especially on a midrange phone like the Ace. Avoid CM, especially Grif's as that has quite a few bugs. Some bugs in Cyanoace but not as many from my experience.
For starters, root your phone (or get a custom rom with integrated custom root), than download Titanium Backup from Market, and then uninstall all the unnecessary apps, also, delete app and internet cache. That all should make your phone better than new
I would agree about using cfroot.
Root phone with cfroot, titaniumbackup pro backup to sdcard, factory reset, download mode and flash latest stock rom from sammobile.com, root again and then restore apps only, only restore app+data for games.

So what does this mean ??
Does it mean "Sorry for making the 1st post its not a good idea after all"
does it mean "Sorry for the last post i need to learn to fully test crap before I big my my ideas up"
Does it mean "Sorry i got over excited and spammed this info before i propely tested it" .........
Can't say i'll be trying it sounds barely worth the hassle.

I am not responsible for anything!!! Most apps may misbehave...
Yesterday, I saw a comment on superuser in market saying: "nice way to filter what apps need root permissions"
Then I thought... maybe su is just a way to filter... so I froze it... all root apps work!!
There is no need for superuser app, however you should only freeze it, not uninstall, because most apps check root if there is su app installed
So, just freeze it and enjoy! This will free some ram, bacause of it's constant process, and it really makes app do root operations faster!!(no more delay for deleting etc)

how can I freeze it?
I'd rather have superuser since it warns you when an app requests su permission. You have a security hole if there is no warning that a bad app could take advantage of. Even though the chance is rare if you stick to legit apps.
What do u mean FREEZE it ?? wat does freezing an app means ???

Freezing it is like preventing it from opening or running. It is still installed on your device but it doesn't show up in the app drawer and you can't open it.

A lot of app managers can freeze apps. Titanium backup can, i don't know about ROM Toolbox. And there are even apps that are meant for freezing apps.

so I can free up some memory by installing and running some app, and freezing the SU app?!
I think I just keep it running..
i've finally rooted my phone and now in the process of removing stock apps.
at the moment i'm using "terminal emulator" to remove the apps.
is there a faster way of doing it, maybe an app i can download that will REMOVE the stock apps of my choice rather than freezing them?
Titanium backup can uninstall as well as freeze. Go the pro version well worth it.

Not really deleted?
I agree; Ihave used Titanium Backup for a long time on many phones. I usually keep a stock rom but use titanium to delete bloatware and integrate app updates into the rom. Works great and helps free up memory.
However, I just recently bought a used s2 and have faced some challenges. Namely, deleting bloatware freed up almost no space, less than a megabyte. I suspected something was amiss, so I tried converting Google+ from a system app to a user app. No more space freed, and I don't have room to convert it back to a system app. Does anyone have an idea why I am unable to free up space on the room? (A certain amount of free space is necessary to be able to integrate updates.)
Once in a while, an app gets corrupted such that trying to access it in the apps manager crashes the apps manager - thus, it can't be uninstalled normally.
I've noticed that sometimes when this happens, the name of the app in the apps manager changes as well (from the friendly name to the internal one - like com.developername.appname).
What's the best way to uninstall a corrupted app like this? Is there a good app to handle situations like this, or is it best to do it by hand - in which case, what's the procedure?
Is it just a matter of deleting anything that seems related in /data/app, /data/app-private, and /data/data?
What kind's of app crashes? If it is a system app then sometimes a Factory Reset could solve the problem, but not for good. Are you rooted? If you are rooted you could flash a new ROM. Sometimes stock ROM's aren't always the most stable. If you are not rooted then I would try to get root. Hope this helps
Oh, we're not talking about anything catastrophic that would require flashing a new ROM. Just regular misbehaving user-installed apps.
What's the best way to deal with those?

Guess you didn't read the first post.
The point was that these were corrupted apps, and going into them from the apps manager would crash the apps manager.
If u can see the app in app manager, then first clear the data, then uninstall it. If that does work, clear the data again, power cycle the phone, then uninstall it.

My bad, I missed that . Yes, you could delete them from /data/app/ (and check if their folder still exists in /data/data/. If so, delete that too).
Or you could use Titanium Backup

Hey!
So around a week ago I installed 4.1.2. android on my Samsung Galaxy Ace 2.
First of all, It has been released officially for Ace 2, but it worked good for only first 2 or 3 days. Now its a complete disaster. It runs smooth only until I open any kind of app. Im starting to think about reinstalling 2.3.6 back, but I really like the Jellybean. Maybe anyone here knows how to fix this problem?
For example, this morning when i took my phone in hand for first time today, I opened youtube and turned device horizontally. They alarm clock started to ring and It didnt even offer me to shut it off. When after like 3 minutes i managed to do it I went back to youtube and there I turned device back vertically and video just stayed horrizontally , freezed and just with sound. And couldnt even turn that off for like another 5 minutes. And this goes with most of the apps. Its really annoying.
Hope to see some solutions
