Lag fix

Lol thats a huge question mate and in my opinion it's not really possible but where are you noticing the lag, what phone do you have and is there no way you'll ever root or flash it?
 
Other than a factory reset to clear out the caches there isn't much you can do while unrooted.

You could reboot into safe mode if your device has it. That will simulate a factory reset without actually doing it. If the lags gone you know what the solution is then
 
And learn the terminology. You want to fix a slow phone. If you give us the make and model we might be able to help you. An old phone is going to be slow if it's loaded with a lot of current apps. If you have a slow S5 or M8, that's a whole different ballgame.

"Lag" means a long (longer than 200ms in a cable connection, longer than 500ms on a phone data connection) ping time. It's indicative of a bad data path between your computer and the server you're measuring it with.


There's no app that will fix either condition, though. It's a matter of determining the cause of the condition and correcting it. You don't go to the doctor, say "I hurt" and expect him to put a cast on your leg. Unless he diagnoses the pain as being caused by a broken leg.

Old saying - you can't fix it if you don't know what's broke.

I notice the lag when the phone starts and the Apps button can't be pressed for a little. When go to the apps first page i can't swipe left and right without lag. When i install or uninstall an app the lag appears for a little on the apps pages. Also sometime happens when the phone screen closes and i open it again and when the phone rests for a while. I have Samsung Galaxy Ace 3 S7275R and i never root it and i have flashed it with the new Samsung Rom and didn't help and i have get back to the phone's rom. Two persons in my family bought the same phone and does not lag at all.

Give this little app a try ... most of us on the LG Optimus V forums use it, plus the guys i work with have it on their high end devices.
Doesn't require root.

That's just a task killer that doesn't fix the problem.

If that's the case, then why not compare the running apps to each other. That should narrow it down. Then through trial and error, freeze or uninstall a suspecting app until you find the culprit.

Well, then all the developers for our device must be wrong, cause we all use the app (which kills processes safely) boosting ram, which stops the device from lagging.

Yes it would be great to find the underlying problem, which on our device is small internal memory, hey i dunno, been working great for us for over a year, i couldn't run and won't run my phone without it. ;-)

The V worked fine before without it. You know how Android works. Task killers are not the way. ;)

I know it used to run fine without it, i don't know when you used your V last but there is still quite a bit of development going on over at AC. And the roms are getting quite large for our phone, although the devs have also found a way around this problem, they have a kit-kat rom now that the system runs from the SD card and data or cache run from the sd-ext partition, great. But unfortunately for me i'm still using the original SD card (i have no PC) so i have no way of transferring files to a larger SD card. So to run these larger roms that leave about 10 to 20 mb's left on internal, i have to delete what is safe and move what i can to the SD card, but i enjoy it. I just wish i had another device so i could do more testing and experimenting with my V, but it's the only phone i have, been soft bricked twice, you just can't hurt this little beast with the great devs we got!
Check this rom out (if you want) .

True, as i stated in my earlier post, the guys i work with have high end devices, Sammy's, HTC, and so on, these guys really don't understand android or how it works or care! They just want it fast and now, there phones were lagging, they didn't want an explanation, just a quick fix so they download the app it works for them so what do you do? These guys barely no how to download an app, so they sure don't care how it works, as long as it does! They won't take the time to read anything about their device, but if it's lagging or something's not right they call customer service in a heartbeat. They all had lag i gave them the app their happy, i'm happy, hey it works? ;-)

Just wondering if the cache cleaner that comes with a lot of those "maintenance" apps does the same thing without having to do the factory reset?

I'm a little (OCD) when it comes to clearing cache files, i clean cache several times a day, although you don't need to do it that often, i just got in the habit. :) Every time i exit my browser i go to the settings and clear cache, you would be surprised at how big the cache file can get in a very short period of time. Instead of a "task killer "you could go to menu >applications >manage applications click on each one and clear the cache that way, you can delete all the cache you want with no harm to your device, just don't clear data.
 
Clearing cache is no problem. However I also have reservations regarding the posted app. It's "killing" apps, which is a no no. No matter what results you are posting, it's going to be a problem sooner or later. You won't notice it at first, until you find that you need to run that app killer more often than before. You're better off with an actual restart. A high end Android should NOT need any maintenance at using at all. Just use it and let it run itself. A new Android MAY be laggy if you load it up immediately with lots of apps, since it's still going to learn your usage pattern.

I had a longer 3 paragraph reply but I got tired retyping after 4x the internet wonked out on me and didn't post. T_T which is weird because all my other websites are doing ok at posting except this one. T_T
