Facebook and Netflix seemed to be loading slow on this blazing fast phone. I have been using the Moto app, bit then it kept turning on when I didn't want it to, so I decided to disable it. As soon as I did, my apps started loading much faster. food for thought.

My Desire seems to of started slowing down. It's a bit laggy in the home screen, menus are feeling a bit sluggish too.
It was lightening fast when I first had it, not sure if I've just gotten so used to it.
Any tips of speeding things up? I've removed any unused apps and wiped app cache.
The phone is also not rooted.
Any one else experiencing this a bit?
I somewhat expected the Desire to slow down after I got it... pretty much every device, computer, phone, etc I have owned slows down after it's been used a bit... I have not had a noticeable slowdown with the Desire though. There was a short time where the app manager took a while longer to load, but that didn't last long. My guess is that you have a lot of apps running in the background and maybe a live wallpaper. I have noticed as time goes on, the Desire's available ram shrinks away. After about a week and a half it usually drops to around 100 for me. A reset fixes this though, so it's not that big an issue. So, I would say get a task manager and see what all is running in the background and see if it is using your resources. I have also noticed that some of the Widgets like Friendstream are naturally a bit laggy, even when they shouldn't be.
I dont get it... this isnt my first HD7 but i can clearly see that things take noticably longer to load. Boot, Games, random hangs on apps or when im typing on the keyboard... what gives??
Anyone know what can be causing this, or a way i can fix it?? I know nodo fixes loading times, but my previous hd7's never took this long to get things done
i know some apps depend on data upon loading. an example is Shazam, it took a really long time compared to a friend who loaded up Shazam on their iPhone. I didn't know why at first, but when i had my phone connected to WiFi and loaded up Shazam, it was significantly faster at loading. So some apps could be written where whilst loading it checks for data connection, and during this, it keeps the loading screen there, making it seem like the apps take a lot longer to load, when really it comes down to your data connection.
this is just one theory. of course the nodo fixes up a lot of games by allowing more graphics to be buffered into memory upon loading, making it quicker to load up games, but that wouldn't significantly affect general applications.

thanks for the reply. after a while of using it, im starting to believe its a memory managment issue (weird since its more noticable now than my last hd7) i open a game (ilomilo) for the first time, and it takes like 1-2 minutes till it gets to the main screen, but i open it later and it takes 20-30 seconds. I hope this is the issue because NoDo officially fixes this
I'm on CM 7.1. Ever since Facebook app has been updated, it seems like FB app has gotten slower. Some items like comments on photos at times just don't load.
Also, I tried Pulse 360 and it too seems somewhat sluggish. Is our phone getting obsolete for descent performance?
the slide is ancient in phone years...but try bumping up processor speed that should help some. menu button>settings>cm settings>performance>cpu settings.
I have had a problem that's grown worse over time with my G2. I've noticed the phone will be snappy, fresh after flashing, but over time, it will start to slow down. I chalked it up to it just needing a good flash every once in a while. However, it's gotten to the point it will become laggy/unresponsive within a day or two now. During these periods of lag I have managed to make it struggle to the running applications screen, where I have noticed that the lag is correlated with background applications restarting themselves. Google maps, Google Voice, and Waze are usually restarting (sometimes a few times before becoming stable), and I think Imo messenger might be doing the same. Once all the background apps are done restarting, everything returns to normal. I notice these apps all require some sort of radio use, and that the app I am actively using usually will only slow down, but not crash.

I have very similar issue. Soundhound oo, maps, Droid are trying to restart when it happens... I think it might be because we run out of memory... but I don't know why Android try to restart those processes so hard then.
Forgot to say I have a Galaxy S with CM 10.1
For me most of these issues go away once I set limit of background processes to 2. Even application install doesn't hand phone as before. OC also helps I guess.
I like to open multiple tabs, usually 10+.
Eventually I will hit a situation where one of the chrome tabs hang and won't scroll anymore. If I switch to other tabs, they'll still respond, but will be jumpy, like chrome is busy doing something else.
I noticed whenever I get into this state, by broadband connection is pegged at 100% utilization (via SNMP monitor)
Once I close the chrome app, usage immediately goes to 0%.
I've gone through logcat and dmesg to see if there was anything obvious like highly repeated errors. While there were errors, nothing really seemed to indicate Chrome was stuck doing something repeatedly.
It has been doing this for 10 minutes now while I looked through the logs.
There is no video on any of the tabs and the network activity continues even when the screen is shutoff and even if Chrome is not in the foreground anymore.
This is on stock Android with with the exception of SuperSU 1.51 installed. The same behavior was happening before SU got installed though (ie pure stock)
The reason I first noticed this is someone else complained the broadband connection was a little slow and whether I was watching a video, which I was not. I have traffic shaping on my router, so even at 100% things can work ok, just a little slower, so I just assumed someone else was watching a video, but when they asked me, I knew something was not right.
Android is otherwise responsive and the hung tab eventually became responsive again, though if I open more tabs, the chance of a hung tab increase tremendously when I am in this state.
Anybody else experience something like this?
chrome has serious issues... cpu usage is just nuts....
it hangs a lot.. at times it won't register clicks... I use boat in fact paid for boat browser yesterday... first try the free version... btw it supports flash :
