everything is running slow. i try to open any app or do anything it takes 3-5 sec to open. its like if you have it out side in winter but still runs slow when its warm. what can i do. im not rooted
I know this is an old thread, so if there is a more appropriate one, I hope someone will direct me. I am experiencing the same issues, plus excess battery drainage. Here's what I've tried & results:
1. Reboot - that helps with the sluggishness for a while, but it slows down fairly quickly. Rebooting causes mediascan to run rampant, draining battery, so I only like to do it when I'm charging.
2. Cleared cache: I've done that many times, and don't see much difference
3. Turn off all background data - helps a lot with the battery drain, not with the sluggishness. Of course, if I can't use my data (wifi isn't a problem), the phone's usefulness is much decreased.
I am not rooted, but am starting to consider it if could help. I've been afraid of bricking, but at this point, replacement may be necessary anyway. References to resources on rooting and/or replacement ROMs suitable for this phone would be appreciated.
I have a large number of apps, and have pruned out a few, but from what I've read on this and similar threads, that's probably not the issue. I also don't update apps automatically, because I keep reading app reviews noting that apps sometimes get worse when updated - so I update only when I see a need. Are there particular apps/types of apps that really need to be auto-updated?
I'm wondering if the problem with background data might be fixed with a new SIM card. Any thoughts?
I'm holding off getting a new phone because I still have unlimited data, and don't want to pay full price for a new phone, but also don't want to lose my unlimited data (not that it's very useful at the moment!). I'm thinking of switching to one of the new Sprint plans via BestBuy - any thoughts on that?
References to any threads or site-links that might address some of these issues would be greatly appreciated.
