G+_Andreas Ebbert-Karroum Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 I am suffering from the same symptoms that Jason Howell described. My Galaxy Nexus is becoming extremely laggy and slow. There are Apps out there, like Greenify (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.greenify&feature=more_from_developer#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEwMiwiY29tLm9hc2lzZmVuZy5ncmVlbmlmeSJd) that are supposely taking care. But I have not rooted my phone and also don't plan to. Questions: 1) Are there Apps like Greenify that do not require root 2) What's the best process to reset the phone? Most of my data lives in the cloud, so I think I am just going to save all pictures, videos and music to my laptop, note down all installed apps, and then push some big button to reset the phone back to factory settings or so. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.greenify&feature=more_from_developer#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEwMiwiY29tLm9hc2lzZmVuZy5ncmVlbmlmeSJd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Lucas Nichols Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 I reset my phone every month or two. Makes it so fast it's like getting a new phone again. Lol. I just back my photos up with g+ and if I have any important docs I email them to myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Cole Brodine Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 If the reddit post that Jason Howell talked about is true, then no app will be able to solve your issue. They surmised it was related to flash memory wearing issues. If it is a hardware problem like that, no amount of apps can help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Cole Brodine Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 I should clarify that I'm not discouraging anybody from trying it. People on reddit are wrong sometimes :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Cole Brodine Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 I agree. It would probably be worth it to try a factory reset first. That would clear up any garbage that was slowing you down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Jason Howell (raygun01) Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 FWIW Andreas Ebbert-Karroum I wiped and started fresh with CM 10.1 (the full release from a day ago) and installed ONLY the apps I actually use and I couldn't be happier. The true test is: Will I still be this happy in a month or two. Time will tell!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
