Help sluggish response

[chis51hd]

Hi. I'm getting quite irritated with my Galaxy W being sluggish sometimes. For example, when pressing the home key from an application, it takes a long time for the home screen and icons/widgets to appear. Still running stock ROM, here are the storage stats:

system storage: 415MB/1.07GB
usb storage: 490MB/1.70GB
sd card: 4.38GB/7.20GB

I've already transferred most apps to SD card, and I don't think my device memory is that full. Maybe you can suggest something to improve my device's performance. Thanks in advance!

It helps sometimes to turn off the phone and take out the battery and wait 2-3 minutes

Mine:
system storage:851 MB/1.07GB
usb storage: 1,21 GB/1.70GB
sd card:3,54 GB/3,69GB

Thanks for the reply. That's what I do, I just turn it off the on; I don't remove the battery though. Is it perhaps too many apps running in the background? Or is it a hardware issue?

I am no expert, but we will give our phones so much information that it will be completely 'tired' : -) so often, it would help to give it a breath of fresh air, turn the power off and take the battery out for a few minutes.

Sorry my bad english. :-(

Might also be aggressive power saving mode adjustments. I tend to turn them mostly off and recharge once a day, it's easier to recharge than live with a sluggish phone.

If there are a lot of apps it will bog down easier too. I tend to regularly assess apps for ones I don't use then uninstall. Keep it running less resource heavy. No large memory footprint games etc. I also sripped out a lot of bloatware that came in it from Samsung (rooted phone). Widgets bog it down, especially if they are live, also live wallpaper.
I think one problem for me is too many email accounts.
