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.

Poor Groink, trying to text pics of his junk to random chicks and now this happens.....

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?

[mass243]

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.

Call me bro!!!!!!

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.

True..However, they use system resources and lot's of battery life themselves...

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.

But, as stated, it could be harming the phone down the line.....
