Performance Issues

[bunique4life05]

My Nexus 7 is have performance issues. First issue is it seems take longer to boot up from lock screen to unlock and to home screen. Second UI is sluggish and unresponsive. I find opening apps or navigation through menu and app drawer takes longer. Apps open up to black screen and crash have to wair several seconds to load. The only new app I have download in last week is candy crush and I have played Candy Crush with no performance issues until the last couple of days.

Any ideas?

You aren't alone. I have the same issue, and there should be a few threads talking about this already.

There are a couple of things to try. First, how much free space do you have? The device loses performance if you are running low on space.

A couple of tips:

* Disable Google Currents. (Use Flipboard for your news reader)

* Clear the system cache. This requires booting to the boot loader. Google it for instructions.

* Go to Settings > Apps and find Chrome. Uninstall updates. It speeds up Chrome and it also helped with performance issues of the rest of my tablet.

How long have you had your nexus before it started to have performance issues?

2GB to 3GB of storage left.
Uninstall the Chrome app.
Cleared system cache from partition is that right?
Why do need to disable Google Currents?

You can't uninstall Chrome since it is part of the image, but you can uninstall updates; that is what you should do.

Currents is a known system hog, so many posts around here will suggest to disable it.

You should try to open some more of your storage because whatever is remaining will be used for cache.

Yes, clearing the system cache from the partition is what I was referring to.

I will keep running currents but I will delete more of my storage space.
Thanks for your help.

If you are going to keep currents, I suggest turning off the background sync for it, since that seems to be the killer.

Clean Master will clear your cache and remove residual files. It can also help you identify unused programs that are running in the background.

There was an issue affecting the 16 gb model only where when it got down in this range (which is much more free than android needs), lag would develop. People had various solutions (free space then use an app that rewrites the empty space) and an android update was supposed to resolve the issue but I don't believe there was ever a consensus that the issue was resolved.

About a month, really.

No, not off hand. It's just a recollection I have from reading this forum for a while. Since I have the 8gb model, I was never affected...

Yeah, mine has started to be stupid laggy lately. You're not alone.

Mine isn't running as fast as I would like.
I did a factory reset, but not a hard reset.
I was reading where users were saying you have to plug it up to a computer to do a hard reset. Is this true?

I have never heard of something called a "hard reset" that wouldn't involve loading a new image. I don't see how it would do anything that a factory reset wouldn't do since it is just reverting to a saved image that is stored on the device.
