Rooted Stock Razr M is extremely "doggy" - Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My Razr M over the past couple days has become increasingly "doggy" (for lack of a better word), by that I mean when touching an app on my screen it takes a few seconds to load,etc. I want to try to figure out what the issue is myself but I am not well versed in the best way to do this. When I look at the battery stats the top two drivers are 'Display' and 'Android System', which I think is fairly typical. I am not sure if it is a RAM issue or something is eating my Processing or what.
Any tips, ideas, suggestions and/or tricks that anyone can provide me with to troubleshoot this? I would greatly appreciate it.

Check setting , apps, running apps and see if something is hogging memory. Wiping your caches will probably help too.

I am not sure at what line an app is considered to become a hog but here is the top 5 on my list
Settings (52MB)
Norton Mobile Security (23MB)
Amazon Appstore (39MB)
Swiftkey (24MB)
FaceBook (25MB)

What's your total memory used at the bottom of that screen and try using seeder from the play store it helps with lag a bit

Yep that's low. Do you have a ton of apps installed? If so have you tried Greenify to hibernate some while not in use? Freezing some bloat may help too

Is there a list of bloatware that is safe to freeze?

I know this is vague because everyone's definition of bloat is different but I froze a lot of crap

I froze some stuff and it's helping but I don't want to freeze something that will screw up my system.

As long as you're not messing with the system services your not going yo break anything that can't be easily fixed. make a backup just to be safe

Att has nothing to do with it...it has to be one of your apps...something is constantly syncing/and or jot stopping its data use...I suggest a factory reset through kies or odin if rebooting the phone doesnt resolve the issue

I faced the same problem, issue was somewhat with auto backup of data, sync of app data & people details in google account,
BUT the main culprit in my case was uTorrent application.
Even though there was no torrent added to it, i didn't even opened it,
it was using 1GB data daily on WiFi and in data usage it was coming under Android OS usage. I uninstalled it, everything went back to normal.
So try to look for such apps which eat up your data in background, it may not be an error of android OS as such.
Hope this helps, Press THANKS if it did help you
Enjoy

Ram Usage

My ram is always at like 500 and I can't get it down and it slows my phone down and I can't pinpoint what it is. Thanks for the future help

I usually eliminate / remove the background processes of the apps I'm not using or don't consider top priority for notifications and etc.
And if the service restarts then force close / freeze

If your on a stock rom this seems pretty consistent with the ram usage I'm looking at with nothing frozen on stock.

He's ^^^ correct. RAM usage shouldn't slow down your phone, if it's reasonable, and it is. One of the apps is causing the issue, not the amount of RAM being used. Android is designed to stack RAM.
I'm on cm10 and I don't have that many apps installed but look:

Lol. Its a rogue/adware/spyware app. Goto application manager from settings and hunt it down. Roast it and eat it. Also, maybe uninstall it?

Defiantly a rough app.
I would suggest a wipe in such cases, this is to fully ensure elimination of the problem.

1 month slow down

It's been a month and I have tons of apps and now the phones all of a sudden lagging. Anyone else notice this?

Like everything lags or just particular apps/functions (sms, recent apps, etc)? Have you tried wiping cache in recovery?
R u rooted and do u have a recovery?
How about using the built in memory cleaner that frees up ram.add a swap along with your ram.I guess more info is needed to help u

Use holo launcher hd as ur default launcher....im convinced touchwiz has leaks
I havr advanfed task killer installed and let it run idling. ...normally I never use it but on the rare super lag I kill everything in memory (I.e. no auto kill as normally android does better memory management on its own)

Had mine for exactly one month today and nope, no lags at all.
Are you using Greenify (if rooted)?

Have a ton of crap on your phone will slow it down, and I'm assuming you already knew this. I'm going to assume that you mean your phone took a massive lag attack all of a sudden.
I'm going to say it's something in your memory that keeps launching itself. What's the last app you installed? How many apps run in the background on your phone?

Can anyone take a pic of wakelock on phone please for me to compare

I was wondering if anyone with wakelock detector can take a pic of "phone". I'm seeing a high number in RILJ, but can't remember if this is normal or not. From doing searches it says that it's Google maps related but I have all location services disabled. Not rooted if that matters. Thanks

One of two things, turn it off If you don't use it, and if you do maybe try a force stop.

This app doesn't help me at all unfortunately. My issue is my phone won't sleep..in 11 hours it was awake almost 6. No clue why because better battery stats and WLD tells me nothing other than it was awake.

Can you post a picture? Maybe you have location services on. An amazing app I use is "app ops starter". Allows you to modify permissions of apps. Don't like that a app can use your camera? Disable it. Also you can see when your apps access them. I hope this helps you out!
