Why is my G1 so slow?

[azi1500]

So after a little while of messing around with my new toy it started getting very slow and choppy...
notification bar did not slide down with swipe, just kinda appeared open after i swiped down.
flicking up and down of the call log has made me call people because it only registered a press.
opening an email message took FOREVER.

After restarting the phone it went back to its normal glory, any tips?

Did you dl a lot of apps on your phone? If so that could be the root of your problem b/c they're taking up most of your system memory.

You can try clearing the cache and cookies. Mine started running slow after using it for 6 hours straight (waiting time in ER). When I cleared the cache it went back to normal.

Wow, yours lasted for 6 hours of straight use? Mine can go down to like 25% in like 3-4 hours, with no wifi, gps or blootooth turned on... only 3G.

Mine only gets choppy when panning heavy websites and it actually freezes up for about 5-8 seconds when hitting the home button occasionally, depending on what I'm doing. I tend to have a music player going and the browser concurrently (not to mention other apps).

Anyone else encounter the freezing upon exiting to home screen?

I forgot to mention that I was plugged into an outlet that was conveniently located next to my chair. So I was charging it the whole time cuz I KNEW it was gonna die after 2-3 hours of continuous use.

And yeah I've experienced the freezing-up as well.

clearing the cache and all that good stuff did not work for me.
My phone has been supppper slow since day one, i guess its cuz i am a power use.
my battery dies in 3-4hrs of emailing, texting and surfing the web, i have turned off ALLL other extra stuff. lol
im may go back to my trusty blackberry

[Erick61405]
