Moto x suddenly gone into slow mode/delayed menus etc etc

[vegas33139]

Any ideas? Everything was ok, then for some reason all animations, menus, apps have gone into some sort of slow-mo mode.!!!

Before this happened, the menus and general operations of the phone were really snappy.

Welcome to Android Forums.

Did you Wipe Cache Partition deleting all temporary files and not touching permanent files, apps you added, or customizations you made?

If still a problem try running in Safe Mode disabling all apps you added without uninstalling them. If the problem stops it was caused by an app that you added.

Wipe Cache Partition ...

Lollipop Steps

1. Ensure the device is powered off, and unplugged

2. Press and hold the Volume Down button and Power button (located on the right edge of the device) for approximately 3 seconds then release.

3. From the "Boot Mode Selection Menu" screen, select Recovery.

Note: Use the Volume Down button to scroll through the menu options and the Volume Up button to select.

4. From the "No Command" screen (Android figure lying on his back), press and hold the Power button then press and release the Volume Up button to display the menu options.

5. Select "wipe cache partition".

Note: Use the Volume buttons to highlight and the Power button to select.

6. "Reboot system now" will be highlighted, press the Power button to select it.

Note: Allow several minutes for the reboot process to complete.



KitKat Steps

1. With the phone powered off, press the VOL DOWN KEY for 2-3 seconds then POWER key then release.
2. The device will display different BOOT OPTIONS
3. Use the VOL DOWN Key to SCROLL to Recovery and VOL UP Key to select
   
   Tip: If the device reboots, you may have waited to long to make a selection, you will need to begin the process again.

7. Use the VOL DOWN Key to scroll to wipe cache partition and the POWER Key to select this option

Many thanks, Thom.

Will I lose any data if I wipe the cache partition?

 

[Thom]

It only wipes temporary data. I do it on my Turbo, Maxx, and Bionic every Saturday.

On the Turbo it runs for about five minutes and then re-boots. I have never seen an explanation on why it runs so incredibly long. You just have to wait.

The steps I listed are from the Motorola website.

The cache can become corrupted over time and result in the single biggest cause of performance degradation. I wipe once a week and never have to think about it.

Unverified ... I'm not into games. Some poorly implemented games might loose some incremental progress information.

Many thanks, Thom. I cleared the cache and it seems to have done the trick, fingers crossed.

Thanks again.
