The more processes you are running at one time you will see a lag.

People WISH the 2.0 will help make their phone go faster but NO ONE knows.

Trying closing some of the processes in your phone and you'll get more performance.

 

I don't know what all you got goin on on that phone but I can play music and do all kinds of crap at once with no hiccups.. :/

 

Have you tried installing spare parts and changing the menu animation to fast. This makes everything open much snappier for some reason there is a delay turned on by default kind of like on the windows start menu.

 

You clearly are bitter and have made up your mind. I don't know what I would have done without the attitude.

 

So you have tested this theory of 30mb or less lagg? I don't understand how less memory is going to tax the processor. There is hardly any app that requires 30mb to run so that theory does not pan out. Task killer may kill some of the apps running but there may be other processes that are running. go to settings > manage applications > and look for apps you dont use or are stock with phone and force stop them.

This might help. As for your post its possible the update will speed things up but no one knows. I personally dont haveay issues and I'm almost full.

 

again... I have had NO ISSUES with lag time. I am using my phone constantly and running multiple apps at a time. I don't mean to piss you off more and I do not know why yours is having lag issues and a lot of others are not. Today I looked and had 14 apps running at one time while listening to music and surfing the web with no lag time.

 

Fine ill give u that. BUT, that doesnt explain why if you force close the apps it wouldnt clear memory and many apps are less than a meg a piece and 30mb should be plenty to run. Maybe I'm not following your logic of how processes are prioritizing.

Good luck in anycase.

 

Thought of using a task killer? Advanced Task Manager has a widget that will kill all running apps with a single tap.

Mine shows little to no lag with moderate use. I will be listening to music, surfing the web, texting, vacuuming, doing the dishes, and spending time contributing to this thread without the lag you speak of.

 

I can do that on my G1 with no issues either. As a matter of fact I had Pandora, Google Nav(turn by turn) and was playing Cestos. No I wasnt driving.

I had no lag or slow down on my antique/out dated G1.

 

There's also a program called Startup Auditor which will prevent some unused programs from starting up at all. I never use Peep, Footprints, etc so I have it prevent them from starting up to save memory for apps I want to run.

 

Onion: I am curious about what you say about apps never shutting down after you run them (unless I misunderstood). If the lag time increases as you say, how do you keep the Eris from bogging down? I am a novice and admit it but I joined this forum to learn about my Eris. I have had so many phones with Verizon over the last several years but this one is, by far, the most intriguing to me. I look forward to reading whatever is relevant.

 

Have you done the simple and well known lag reducing trick of clearing your cache ?

If you use that many apps you are going to have alot of cache built up.

settings-apps-manage apps- (name of apps goes here) -clear cache

browser
market
and many others

They pile cache into the internal memory and this will cause lag. Having apps in the background does not cause the lag you are refering to. If anything it makes the app start faster the next time you use it, if its still in the back ground.

Some very friendly advice...
Before you tell other that they dont know anything about their phones, why dont you some research and find out for yourself. There is a search button in the upper right corner of every forums page. Start there. Being rude and putting others down will not get you any help and most people here will report you and ignore you.

I hope you get things worked out and your phone speeds up for you.

 

so clearing cache of apps doesn't have any negative effect on the phone or app? my phone isnt too bad lag-wise, but i'm always interested in making it a little faster. also, what are some of the apps that you would say need to have the cache cleared the most? thanks in advance!

 

this is completely out of the question imo, should be managed or just closed by the os. There is no way I'm going through the list and doing that manually.

 

You should have done some research before buying an Android device.
The OS was built for multitasking.

 

I do it to my G1 every couple of days. Been doing it for almost a year. No issues and NO LAG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I never shut my phone off, except when I update the OS.

Yeah the 150+ apps on my phone doesnt mean anything either.
You would think if someone was going to have lag it would be someone with that many apps. I use about 20 of the daily and a small few maybe 1 every week or so.

Its your phone and you have that choice. Its just advice on how to speed up the phone and add memory. I think there is an app or one coming out shortly that will do it for you. I do it myself so I know whats happening to my phone, even though some people think I dont know what is happening to it.

If you have been on this forum for more than a couple of weeks, you will know not many people have done any research on the device they bought. They wont even do a search on the forums or Google before posting a question.

I always try to help when I can, even when its an easy to find answer. I am more then glad to help. Lots of people helped me in the past on here.

 

So Windows wasn't built for multitasking? Because this is the only device I've ever owned that requires me to manually shut down every program in order to get decent battery life and performance. I like my phone but to suggest this is normal as compared to other devices is ridiculous.

 

Are you comparing a computer OS to a phone OS? Wtf?
And it is normal, get over it.

 

You dont have to kill apps (RESEARCH RESEARCH RESEARCH).

Android kills apps when it needs to do it. The Android operating system is built that way on purpose.

Try this to help battery drain...

reduce screen brightness
switch to 2g if you dont need speed of 3g
turn off GPS when not needed
remove widgets that you dont use or need
and use the search button in upper right corner of forum for more help.

 

You're serious? I've done all of that. Thanks but no thanks.

Your response illustrates the crux of the the problem: One should not have to "research research research" in order to have a phone operate in a decent manner. That's just asinine.
