Razr Maxx suddenly very slow

[Eclipse2K]

very different. swiping tasks away does not close the app, only removes it from your recently used. this will kill any app. but only by your call. it will not automatically kill anything.

My phone is running fine but I've wasted money on dumber things so I may give it a shot.

Very useful! Thanks!

If your rooted, try installing the launcher from the droid m. My phone has been running great. Not recommended for everyone but I love it. Install isn't the most straight forward. See the circle launcher thread for files and instructions.

Braden, once you identify these apps, is there a way to make sure they don't re-start after you stop them without disabling it altogether?

Also, is there a way to minimize what apps run all the time? Thanks!

i believe you can disable some of the apps. from the app drawer long press on the culprit, and drag it to the top of the screen where it says app info. from there it should give you an option to disable the app, or uninstall.

My Maxx also starting running very slow over time. I tried clearing caches without any improvement.
Noticed the stock email app was running even slower then most other apps.
Did a check and found I had about 1000 old emails in my trash folder many with attachments.
It took a while to get rid of them but when the phone finished I was back to full speed.
Hope this helps.

I found this app called All in One Toolbox. Made a HUGE difference!

keep an eye on that app, i had it before but found it to be slightly intrusive at times when it came to memory hogging.

Braden I just bought the system pro you recommended but when I went to by the SD Maid, it said it was for rooted devices. Do you have a recommendation for a non rooted device?

No my friend because without root you wont be able to clean up any crap left behind

Let system pro run for a full 24 hours and let us know how you like it.

OK, so I have had it monitoring since I bought it a few days ago....but...lol.....I'm not sure what I'm looking at or how to read it. What do I look for when I'm scrolling through history? What #'s or readings would be significant? Please explain it to me like I am 5. Thanks!

I was having this issue. Try installing a cpu process analyzer. I did and a mediaserver process was eating up all my cpu time. A search led me to a thread on here that recommended clearing your cache in google maps. I did that this morning and it seems to have helped.

glad we could help SetCPU is a good app to adjust your CPU settings, and CPU Spy is a good one to let you know if your phone is going into deep sleep mode, or if it is staying at a high CPU load all day. very good for monitoring.

Hi

Think I may have to try this app. My Maxx has been doing this lately. I did a factory reset and cleared the cache a few times. Usually 1-4 days later, it starts slowing down again. Apps take 3 seconds to kick in, etc. Never did this before ICS. (Thought I'm not blaming ICS nor am I disappointed with ICS.)

As usual, bradenfontaine comes in with the fix. Well done sir, well done!

I'll blame it for you then. Every time they do this to us in the name of progress, they set us back in some measure of stability and reliability and that ticks me off. Had to go through this with a Maxx & now with a Maxx HD. I've performed 2 factory rests now and can't say the battery life or stability is near what it was pre-JB. Testing is ongoing.
I can tell you this right now though, it does not manage running apps very well. When I check running apps, I'm constantly over 700 now which sucks. Before it was in the 500s. Same situation I had going from GB to ICS. I've disabled a lot of apps I don't use and still seeing higher use. Not happy at all.

Does the System Panel Lite version work as well for the Razr? Or should I go ahead and buy the full version?

(I'll make sure to click "thanks")
