Hi,

I've searched this forum and google for this problem but couldn't get an answer so far. My Legend isn't rooted and I'm using 2.05.405.2. Always after about 2 days my phone gets really laggy. For example pulling down statusbar can take up to 20 seconds until it reacts. Also when I get an incoming call, picking up can last up to 10 seconds. The only way to resolvethis so far is to reboot the phone, but thats exactly what I don't want. I tried several taskkillers without success, I then tried without any taskkillers, too. Also same behaviour. I just have a few apps installed:

- JuiceDefender

- Opera

- ES File Explorer

- MixZing

- Handcent

- Facebook

- SystemPanel Lite

- K9

I tried to get into SystemPanelLite when the phone gets laggy to see what process this is causing, but without any success. I'm really puzzled as I don't understand, why the system is getting laggy up to an unusable amount. I'm not a poweruser who is playing around every 5 minutes with his phone, just writing and reading some SMS, taking a look at facebook and reading and writing mails. Is this a common problem with the legend and everybody is used to it or is this a problem that only hits me for whatever reason? Oh, yes, the problem also existed with older firmware, too.
[Legend General] gallery:
No such problem in my legend

My legend is very smooth
[Legend General] chuchu777:
same here. No such problem in my Legend, it is too smooth.
[Legend General] lessirey:
Legend is known to be a snappy handset.

How much free memory do you have ?

Did you try uninstalling any third party apps to see if any of that is causing the trouble?
[Legend General] cdfs:
Thanks for the answers. I uninstalled now k9, JuiceDefender and ES File Manager, as these are the only one, that I have installed always from the beginning. I'll report back, if that helped.
[Legend General] liltbrockie:
have you got the facebook contacts bug where you've got about 50,000 duplicated contacts?
[Legend General] cdfs:
No, facebook runs just fine with contact-synchronisation and all.
[Legend General] rcravero:
It happened even to me during the first start-up. I decided to reset completely the phone and make a clean start-up. I believe you should very carefully during the first sync of gmail,facebook,etc. Leave the time to the Legend to sync properly and install one application behind the other.

After that my Legend is working fine
[Legend General] cdfs:
As I upgraded to the first 2.xxx firmware, I had it resettet to defaults, as I did the upgrade via USB. As far as I remember, synchronisation was done when I began to install apps. But I think, if the deinstallation of the mentioned applications doesn't resolve this issue, I will try to reset it, too...
[Legend General] nomad4ever:
I had similar behavior, when installing that Facebook update last week. Besides the published battery drain the phone became laggy and unresponsive. The dialer sometimes took 10 seconds to react! Sometimes I could not even take a call. The patch that came after to improve the battery drain didn't fix the lag issue for me.

So I uninstalled the complete facebook update via application menu and voila! No more lag. Everything is as snappy as before. Not even a reboot was required.
[Legend General] shuikit:
I just uninstalled the fb updates out of interest and my Legend was much quicker! Reinstalling the updates and it's still quick. I didn't notice the slowdown before. Thanks!
[Legend General] cdfs:
After uninstalling k9, JuiceDefender, ES File Manager and facebook updates along with disabling facebook for android, so that there is only facebook for sense there, these are the results after 2 days so far:

- phone is snappy as if it was turned on 5 minutes ago

- battery-life is much better! Without JuiceDefender it was about 8-10 hours with very slight usage, up to 36 hours with JuiceDefender... today, after over 42 hours my battery is at 32%, I played games, wrote some SMS, took some pictures and had a short call

So it has to be one of the above mentioned apps. From what I read up until now, my closest bet is the facebok-app, that could be interfering with facebook for sense. I will now reinstall k9, JuiceDefender an ES File Manager and report back again in about 2 days.

Edit: It seems to be that k9 is the reason for the lags... just some minutes after installing and configuring k9 I noticed some lag with scrolling in lists, uninstalled it again and the lag was gone...
[Legend General] cdfs:
Update:

I installed the updates for FB again and I'm using it as before. The phone is still very snappy, no sign of slowdowns. Next I will test JuiceDefender.
[Legend General] cdfs:
After testing a lot with uninstalling all apps and then step by step reinstalling I found the problem: It seems that JuiceDefender triggered for whatever reason the lag after about 2 days. At the moment I also don't have a need to reinstall it, as from my testings I found out, that my battery lasts for 2 days without JuiceDefender, with JuiceDefender it was just 4-5 hours more. This is with fb-updates hourly, gps always on, 2 IMAP-Accounts that are qurried via push, some sms a day and about half an hour telephone, slight internet browsing.
[Legend General] maxonite:
Glad to hear your phone is running better. As a side note, I still use Juice Defender but an old version 1.7.7 The development seemed to go off the rails after this version and i was not happy with any other the updates so I am sticking with this older version.

Still get about 2x the battery life using it.
[Legend General] smnrock:
I also having same problem and available free memory keeps on reducing :(. Though i installed juicedefender, i never uses that and kill using system panel. Will uninstall and check for 2 days
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TeNdr:
My phone is simlocked to 3 Mobile Austria with jg1 fw , i decided to upgrade to jg5 hoped it wud lessen the lag.. but after flashing , fon starts to ask for Sim Network Pin, :confused: did i do anything wrong?

i flashed it back to jg1 and still same problem :(

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vandykky:
I'm having a battery issue. When I charge the battery to 100% then unplug the charger it drops to around 60% within minutes. It won't fully charge when turned off either. I started having these problems after using one of the mini to micro usb charging adapters on one of my mini usb chargers I had lying around. Any ideas would be awesome. Also I did s-off so I don't think verizon will do a warranty exchange. Thanks!

PS I tried searching the forums for an answer but I couldn't find it. I apologize in advance if there is a thread about this that I missed. Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreamersipaq:
can you try another battery

It might be the battery, not the phone.... also, reset your battery "memory" in Rom Manager or Recovery Mod
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vandykky:
It does this with both of my batteries and I have reset my batt stats in clockwork mod recovery. Any other thoughts?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seanzer:
Check your CPU usage?

If it really instantly goes from full icon to 60? I would try plugging it back in and see if it'll continue charging. If not, he battery is probably dead. If it does charge, then you've confirmed that deleting battery stats does nothing.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vandykky:
it will definitely charge when I plug it in. replacement battery from verizon on the way, if that doesn't work I was told it might be the charging port. Sigh. Thanks for your help guys.

Are you saying that I also need an update for Market? If yes, please enlighten me. :)

-or-

Are you saying that there is an update for Voice Search on the market?
[Desire Themes and Apps] GANJDROID:
The voice update is in the market, and the Market itself has had an update. It now has search suggestions. And more cities & towns have been added to bye Sense weather locations.

They're all working hard recently :D

I hv found it in the market, installed and it is working fine. (unrooted, unbranded Desire with froyo)

Chrome to phone is available only in some certain countries, check with google. That's why we cannot see it in the market.
[Desire Themes and Apps] GlumeX:
I have this problem. But when I'm trying to do step 3:

adb shell rm -f /system/app/VoiceSearch.apk

I get this error:

rm: can't remove '/system/app/VoiceSearch.apk': Directory not empty

I am using OpenDesire 3.1.0

What can I?
[Desire Themes and Apps] qubz:
You need run the commands from recovery. I use the amonra recovery and mount /system then run the adb commands. I think you can also mount /system in clockwork recovery too.
[Desire Themes and Apps] landwomble:
Yep, mount system in Clockwork Recovery, connect to PC and using ADB do this:

adb remount

adb shell rm -f /system/app/VoiceSearch.apk

Reboot, reinstall off market. Launch voice search.

****IF YOU'RE NOT IN US, THEN YOU NEED TO PRESS MENU..SETTINGS...and select "US English" to get it to work. ****

Without this it'll only work with "map of", "navigate to" and "google search". With US language settings it'll do all the new funky functions.

help - need googlesearch apk

I'm following this guide for my desire:

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=10389

to getting the search button to work on my Desire.

Problem - if I go into ADB shell and I can "ls data", and see in there an app folder, but if I do "ls /data/app" is says "no such file or directory"?

Is this because I'm using app2sd and if so, why?

Can anyone post the com.android.googlequicksearch-1.apk file please, so I can manually copy it to the old system/app directory?
[Desire Themes and Apps] qubz:
I managed to install install google quick search and google voice via the guide I posted a few posts back. Make sure you reboot after removing them and re-install via the market.

On a side note, I'm using richard trips DeFrost atm and if you look in the defrost setup app, he has added Google quick search and Google Voice as a mod to download and install

For chrome to phone, uninstall previous versions on the phone, re-boot and re-install via the market.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Jiia:
I could find the application but it doesn't recognize most of my commands. Guess my english is just that bad :p Waiting for localization.
[Desire Themes and Apps] qubz:
there were a few errors posted to the screen when running the commands. All in all, if you run the commands sequentially through recovery via adb, it's fairly straight forward. No real English to confuse the process. Just code. You could also try morelocales2 on the market
[Desire Themes and Apps] Jesseraelang:
Thanks for the link.

Problem solved.

As speaking about voice search option, I got that on my OTA Froyo update, but don't seem to find that google translator using voice ?? Does anyone know something about this?
[Desire Themes and Apps] tboy2000:
Apparently you have to leave the voice search settings on US English and not UK English for it to recognise your comands. Also calling contacts and emailing contacts only works for google contacts.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Beppemi:
Guarda che qui chi deve imparare a parlare l'inglese sei tu...

LOL :D

Im using it in english, but with some word it dont work, because dont have italian dictionary installed.

BTW i love this function, and i will use it anyway.

Dont worry, no offense but you dont understand what i mean in my post... i dont want it in italian, but you

can understand that if i say a name of a city in italian language the navigator cant work (this is an example but

there are too many function that not work for this reason)

Is clear now or want just say "italian & french = worst?" :confused:

frustrating since others with CM6 nightly have it

I've been working on this, here is what I have so far.

adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3

Successfully remounts the system partition as read/write

adb shell rm -f /system/app/VoiceSearch.apk

rm: cannot remove '/system/app/VoiceSearch.apk': directory not empty

(however the file is now gone: adb shell ls /system/app)

adb shell pm uninstall com.google.android.voicesearch

Failure

(At this point, Settings->Applications->Manage Applications still shows the Voice Search application as installed, not surprisingly)

adb reboot

Reboot the phone, upon booting back up, the phone is sluggish and slow. An attempt to download the application from the Market fails with the same package signature error.

Does anybody have any idea what the heck is going on?
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] hashbrown:
I got this from the cm 6 thread in the aria development forum:

On phone:

Recovery

Mount system

On computer:

cd

adb shell

cd /system/apps

rm VoiceSearch.apk

rm GoogleSearchBox.apk

Reboot phone then go to market and get voice search.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] cranked:
worked like a champ...the new voice search is friggin amazing...
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] ocswing:
I was able to get the new Voice Search and widget working, but by using the above method the hardware Search button no longer brings up anything. If you long press the button you can choose the Voice Search option, but a regular press doesn't do anything. Anyway to fix it so a regular press goes to the regular search window again?
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] struff:
How is this any different/better than the built-in Google Voice search?
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] ocswing:
It's the most recent official update by Google. You can read about it at http://googlemobile.blogspot.com/2010/08/just-speak-it-introducing-voice-actions.html. It's a lot quicker with recognition and they've added a bunch of actions you can do like sending emails or finding directions.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] struff:
I can't find it in the Market and both of the tags on that Google blog page that you posted come up with nothing.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] struff:
Oh wait...this is for Froyo only??
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] ocswing:
Yes, it's only for 2.2 ROMs currently.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] fosormic:
Worked for me as well. Now, in my case the SearchBox was named "GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk". As a side note, I also backed up these files before deleting them. This is how you do it, in case you want to:

**before starting [B]adb shell[/B], at your DOS command prompt:
cd <backup folder on your PC>\
adb pull /system/apps/VoiceSearch.apk
adb pull /system/apps/GoogleSearchBox.apk (or in my case GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk)

that's it. Now you have a backup copy of the original files delivered in your CM rom, in case you want them back for (I see no) reason. I'd assume Cyanogen will fix this in no time, so this is more of a temp thing anyways.

Trying to find a remapping fix to the search button. It happens only on the Launcher (i.e. Maps, browser, etc) are not broken, just the search button on the launcher.

I had the "GPS fix" applied as soon as I got it so I never tested if the fix actually made it work or it was already working. I have NO data plan on it so wireless doesn't get me any locations :).

GPS takes about 2-3 minutes to determine location from a cold boot (which I find is just fine) after which it is ROCK solid and dead on accurate until I turn it off.
[Vibrant General] androidmonkey:
Dude, then you have GPS issues. It shouldnt take 2-3 minutes to find your location...
[Vibrant General] blanked:
Is Google Maps freezing a symptom? 'Cause that happens to me a lot.
[Vibrant General] androidmonkey:
Yes, it is.
[Vibrant General] oakie:
yeah, actually it can, especially when he said he has no data plan, and thus has to wait for TTF and has said specifically that it's 2-3 minutes for a cold TTF. he also made no mention of his surroundings that may also affect cold TTF.

now if he said it was a hot fix, then there would be reason for concern.
[Vibrant General] Tpavey:
Mine seems to work well right after a boot. Sometimes when I try to navigate after the phone has been on sometimes the phone will lock and reboot automatically. Sometimes It just never locks.

Last time I was not able to get a lock I started TeleNav, then quit the program at the point when it asks if I want to start my free trial. Then maps/navigate started working again.

This is with the "fix" by the way. Rarely was able to get a lock after boot before the fix.

Everything is stock and I picked up my device on day one. Don't have the box in front of me for the actual ship date.
[Vibrant General] Bugdog:
This goes for me too - have only had it a couple of days, but it seems to work mostly just fine. Sometimes very accurate (2-3 meters), other times less so. Tested it driving around and it had me locked the whole way. Google earth did freeze and lock up my phone once, so I had to pull the battery, but that's about it. It doesn't work well in my house, but I barely get service inside, so that's no surprise - but it doesn't seem to work as well as my brother's G1, or at least the one time I tried this afternoon. So overall it seems okay.

My info is the same as everyone else's - stock, not rooted, 2.1 update 1, same baseband, etc. Ship date on the box is 7/21/2010.
