This started after about 3 wks and has progressively gotten worse. Its at the point now that it takes literally as long as 5 seconds for the screen to turn on after I hit the button on top of the phone. Never less than 2 seconds. This slowdown started about the same time that my battery started dying incredibly fast. Like 4 hrs tops and it was gone. I activated Google Now a couple days before both issues started happening. I've since deleted all my GN cards and OS has improved slightly. Battery life has improved dramatically though. Now I can get around 8 hrs with light use. Been like this for a month now. Anybody have any ideas why my phone has gotten so slow? I still have 9 gigs of memory left, just deleted 15 or so apps. Didn't really help. Not phone savvy enough to figure it out. HELP!

 

I've pretty much deleted everything I can. Only have 2 or 3 apps left that I actually downloaded. I still think its somehow because of google now, just not sure what else I can do besides delete the cards.

 

yeah, still going slow. Wondering if I should try to figure out rooting it.
