How I fixed everything!

[greyghost04]

I was hoping the last update was going to fix everything. Well I think things just got worse. 5-6 reboots a day. Slow sometimes. When I listened to XM radio and the screen would turn off, the XM turned off. Really upsetting to me on the train in the morning. The final straw was I d/l'd Viber and my phone no longer worked. So I thought about why do some people have no problems and others have many? Our phones are clones of each other. What is different in my phone than John's phone. Then it hit me. The d/l'd apps. I went to Uninstall and went at it. First to go were apps I have never opened. Then apps I rarely would open. Then apps that I said to myself, if you really need it someday you can d/l it again. Then I deleted apps that were there just to impress friends (they are not impressed anymore). I deleted somewhere around 20 apps. Amazingly everything started to work perfectly again. My phone was fast again. XM stayed on even when the screen went blank. The phone worked again. Not one reboot since yesterday . This culling fixed everything and I have a new Thunderbolt again!!!:icon_ banana:

so what now..thunderbolt users cant have apps anymore? haha absurd!

The trick is to find out which one that was doing it.

I agree. Not all apps are created equal. There could have been one or a few. Heck, there might have been a threshold limit for how many apps can be running with the auto data on for each one. At least you figured out what it was!

now it makes me wonder if the faulty app would work on phones that aren't tb

Isn't that the best/worst thing about the market? Open source programs can be good or terrible.

That was my point, open source you never know what you are getting. The programmer may not even know that he wrote some code that on some phones, not all, will cause great conflicts in the OS. You just don't know. From now on I will limit my d/l's to what is really important. If I notice a decrease in speed or a re boot after loading an app, out it goes.

Ues an app called Watchdog - it monitors how much cpu programs use. You can set custom alerts. I occasionally find apps that must have been coded by a drunk 6 year old.

Went to the Market and there are about 10 Watchdogs. What is the exact title?

Thanks

I wonder if watch dog was coded correctly

This is the most recent "issues" thread so I figured I'd post this here...

So I'm just surfing the net and playing a little angry birds when i realize that I should plug in my phone in case the power goes out (bad thunder storm) so I can watch some netflix. Well I plug it in and go to slide over to homescreen 2 when it freezes then gives me the htc screen. I am in horror because I've never had a random reboot. So I let it sit. And after a few seconds it takes me to a thunderbolt screen i've never seen before (all black with thunder / bolt written like the logo thing) and it sits there for a minute or more. So I start to take the case off to pull the battery and bam it comes back just like it has never left. I don't think it restarted it just fell asleep or had an asthma attack or something. Anyone have any ideas? Bone stock and up to date tb that i've owned since release day.

That is a random reboot, they seem like the phone never goes off because they happen so fast. The screen will go black for a split second then the HTC screen comes on, then the boot animation, but chances are if you never had one before it probably won't do it again.
