I've got the Samsung Stratosphere, its running Android 2.3 Gingerbread.
For the last few months my phone has been very laggy and slow, especially in the last few weeks. It was fine when I got it, but its been all downhill in the last few months. When I say laggy and slow, an example of that is I would click on my Messages app and it will take a good 6 seconds to load my messages. I will click the home screen and it will take 10 seconds (not exaggerating, I actually counted) to properly and fully load my home screen. The apps won't all show up until the 10 seconds are up, and the widgets also take a bit to show. It even takes a few seconds to respond. For example, lets say I am in the internet browser. I push the home button. I will still be on the internet browser for another 3 seconds, then I'll have a black screen for 2 seconds, then my wallpaper will show up with nothing on it, then 5 seconds later my apps and home screen will finally load.
I thought the stock apps were the issue, so I downloaded Go Launcher Ex and Go SMS Pro to help, but those aren't any better.
I realized it was time for a factory reset. I reset my phone, but it isn't running any faster at all than before. Its like I didn't even do the reset, you can't notice any difference.
I can temporarily solve the issues by doing a soft reset by holding the power button for 20 seconds, and my phone will work fine for about half the day, but then it gets slow and laggy again.
The only thing I can think of that might be the root of this problem is maybe there is internal damage? Around last September the LCD screen broke and I had to get it fixed in order to use the phone again. I used a blackberry for a bit but in January I gave my phone to a mall repairman and he fixed it. Is it possible that he did something to screw up the internal hardware, causing my phone to be slow and laggy?
Whats wrong with my phone? What can I do to fix it? Please help.
