View 8 RepliesI hate how slow the Gallery3D system app is. It's been slow on both my Motorola Droid & HTC Incredible running various ROMS, including stock. It's ridiculous, actually. The HTC Gallery is great by the way it organized photos and is easier to use, but isn't an option for an AOSP ROM [afaik]. Does anyone have a recommendation as to what my other options could be? Thanks, and please don't flame.

1 - are TK apps really nessessary? Does it help with battery life and why would you want to kill an app? I've read somewhere that TK apps are not nesscessary b/c android is a linux system.
2 - Can we get viruses on our phones? Are the Free AV apps we get here in Canada, since we cannot buy apps, good? Do they really protect our phones?

View 30 Replies View RelatedAnyone else starting to see slow down on their Incredible? Not just a little but the loading circle showing up when opening apps or closing them. Sometimes it takes 5-10 seconds for them to just start.I have also had the HTC logo show up when closing stuff (black screen and grey HTC logo) and then the circle.

So I think the UV is working well, that's even running ADW. However, I also noticed some things may be running slower. Could this be attributed to the UV kernel I'm running now?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI found that my Dinc is working slower than before. For example, it takes 2 seconds to load "people". I have only 400 contacts there. When I press call, it takes 1 second to go to the dialing mode.
I have only 40 MB memory left on my phone.
Is it normal? It is supposed to have a fast processor. If not, how can I address this issue?
Connection is so slow right now I have to use wifi could this mean something like a lot of traffic right now

Im not getting MMS, can't download attachments, and internet is bogged down like a hooker after a long night. I wanted to know if it's just me, or if other people are having the same issues? Could it be all the droid X users bogging down our network?
View 36 Replies View RelatedI currently use the SenseUI Messaging App for SMS. I had tried HandscentSMS but ultimately decided to go back to the SenseUI implementation, due to the way the app displayed the notification when I unlocked the phone (under the unlock slide bar). I've been texting the a certain special someone quite often, somewhere in the neighborhood of 1000+ messages at this point. I notice, that when I want to bring up her thread, the phone slows down and it takes a 10-20 seconds to come up. Other threads, take only a second or two to load. I assume this is because the HTC app is effectively trying to load all 1000+ messages. Is there a way to limit the amount of messages viewable or a way to archive the messages to my sd card?

View 2 Replies View RelatedHas anyone noticed that their incredible gets bogged down and runs super slow from time to time? Something as slow as opening hand cent and writing a response message can take for ever, I type the word and 5 seconds later it will show up. I do not get why but it is really frustrating.
View 24 Replies View RelatedMy phone charges very slowly if I plug in the charger while the phone is on, but if I turn it off for a minute with the charger plugged in and then turn my phone back on, the charge rate reverts to what I experienced under 2.1 which will fully charge the battery from 20% in about 1.5 to 2 hours. Much better than the 15-20% per hour I was experiencing after updating to 2.2. It seems to charge almost as fast as if i had turned the phone off and left it off.
