I have the same phone. Download the Advanced Task Killer from the Market. More than likely there are applications that are not closing all the way and eating away at the resources. Flaw of Android.

Groink do you make a habit of using the Task Killer you already have on the phone?

jesubod, does the ATK kill the tasks automatically?

First; Samsung? LOL dude.

Second; have you heard about reboot? Shut the machine down once in awhile. Then fire it up again.

Third; control the amount of applications running at the same time. Control the processes running. Keep on eye that memory is not running out.

It works that way on my phone. I also had the Backflip before this one and it worked perfectly with ATK.

Groink,

Do a battery pull.  In fact, do that once a week.

As far as Advanced Task Killer, use at your own risk.  There arguments out there that the short term benefit of it will harm your phone down the line.

Perhaps you downloaded a rogue app?

I would just do a factory reset, or system restore. That should solve all the problems you are having.

Then i would download only apps one at a time, and make sure that they work well before installing another...

Root the phone like someone else said...

Task killers are only good for phones running older android operating systems. 1.5, 1.6...They provide very little value to phones running 2.2(froyo)...

Well, killing tasks always speeds up the phone. No matter what the OS version.

Not really much I can add that hasn't already been said - I've got an HTC android phone and I get the screen lagging sometimes. Just run Advanced Task Killer and then power the phone down, remove the battery, and reinsert it. Then run Advanced Task Killer again which gets rid of everything. The reason is that there's too many apps running in the backbround slowing the memory down on the phone. That solves my phone problems all the time.

Have you looked around an Android forum ? ... I saw this and it says that running ATK kills the battery quicker and there was other advices from people who have the Androids ..they seem a little complicated  ???

today at the ces conference a whole load of new superphones were announced.

1. samsung infuse - highlights include - 4.5" super amoled plus screen, 1.2ghz hummingbird processor. slim design
(http://pocketnow.com/html/portal/news/0000014143//samsung-infuse-4g-ofc.jpg)
2. motorola atrix/bionic - highlights include - 4.3" quarter hd resolution screen (540 x 960), dual core tegra 2 processor, 1gb ram, 4g network, 1930ma battery, fingerprint reader, slim design
(http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2011/01/motorola-droid-bionic-01-05-2011.jpg)

3. lg optimus x2 - highlights include - dual core tegra 2 processor, slim design.
(http://pocketnow.com/html/portal/news/0000013902//LGOptimus2X.jpg)
4. playstation phone - highlights include playstation controller, and playstaion app ( although i would bet every penny i have that someone will rip it from the software and port it to the other android phones within weeks of its release.)
(http://cdn.everyjoe.com/files/2010/10/playstation-phone-sony-490x423.jpg)

out of them the motorola stands out from the rest as the most powerful phone, but samsung still have another phone to announce (perhaps tomorrow) - the galaxy s2, which may feature the dual core orion processor said to be 4x as powerful as the tegra  :o and it will feature a super amoled plus screen too.

definately wait.

I'm really not a phone guy though so I really can't say which is "better"  the only reason I got this phone is because I was up for a renew and I know the manager at the ATT store. So between his discount and the renew I paid less than a hundred for a six hundred dollar phone...or I wouldn't be rocking this thing

for me i want to watch movies on my phone without going cross eyed, and not run out of battery after 1 movie.

i also want to stream that movie to my tv over the air.

i want to listen to music for a week straight ( which the dual core tegra phones will do)

i want to play snes,nes,gen, psx, n64 emulators using a ps3 controller and hooked up to my tv.

i want to surf the web, listen to music, download a torrent, check emails, at the same time.

i want to record and watch hd movies on my phone that is not choppy.

That's not even overclocked....

My phone is running at 1.2GHZ without breaking a sweat. However, that thing looks like it's running a lot faster...

When a ginerbread (android 2.2) rom comes out..Hopefully, i get that type of speed, that the nexus has.

What phone do you have?

for me i want to watch movies on my phone without going cross eyed, and not run out of battery after 1 movie.

i also want to stream that movie to my tv over the air.

i want to listen to music for a week straight ( which the dual core tegra phones will do)

i want to play snes,nes,gen, psx, n64 emulators using a ps3 controller and hooked up to my tv.

i want to surf the web, listen to music, download a torrent, check emails, at the same time.

i want to record and watch hd movies on my phone that is not choppy.

So you want to use your phone for nothing it was designed for and for what something like a ps3 would make more sense for...!? I guess I can understand somewhat since you guys in Europe mostly use public transportation and trains as opposed to in N.America where everybody drives.

iPhone is great for talking on the phone (do people still do this?) and dicking around.  If you're going to be doing actual work then probably a BB.

All I can say is you're a demanding dude.. I just upgraded one of my phones (I use 2) to the new blackberry flip (style) I love it, it's tiny, light, fits in any pocket and has a huge screen and full size qwerty keyboard (I text a lot) my other phone is an iphone, love both of them for different reasons, if I didn't own every other possible toy/gadget like psp, ds lite, 2 ipad's and about 5 ipod's , not to mention hacked ps3 and 2 hacked xbox 360's then I could see your point, but I got more then enough gear to occupy my time, I have about 400 books on the ipad's alone not to mention about 30 movies and netflix.

:o quite a collection.

i have an iphone, its great for being a phone, txing, and internet surfing. but to damn restricted.

ideally i'd like to get 1 super phone that does it all. less clutter and as mobile as can be.

i have high hopes for the new meego operating system ( that pic above might be the phone that it runs on) as its a full linux operating system, not just a mobile operating system. although it sounds like it is going to be a huge fail by all accounts, with the first few phones they run on having a shitty processor, small screen, low memory, software buggy, etc according to rumours. if they are true i don't see how it can compete with the dual core superphones mentioned above.

the new nokia e7 design looks nice too.

This looks pretty cool, I like the horizontal keyboard/flip design

Blackberry headquarters is about 40 minutes from where I live so naturally everyone around here uses one, they got huge with email/enterprise servers/push email technology, although now pretty much all phones incorporate live email and etc.

Blackberry!!!

I just upgraded to the Bold 9700 and really fucking love it!!!  BBM is so sweet too!  Screen resolution is nice and crisp, and battery life is AMAZING!!!!  You can easily watch 2 full length movies on it and still have well over 50% of your battery left!

i have the same phone and it's been giving me so much shit lately.  90% of the problems come from loss of signal, which is funny because i NEVER lost signal with my old phone (curve).

You guys do remember that this is supposed to be a PHONE right ?... geez for all this extra shit you might as well carry around a netbook at least then you'd have a decent size keyboard.. all the bells and whistles are cool but I think at some point they're starting to impair the base functions of the phone..
