Hildon ridiculously slow
 

After a certain amount of uptime (hours not days) my shortcuts and widgets take around 10 seconds to react to anything. The file browser and everything works fine once loaded so I don't think its a cpu load problem.

Any suggestions?

Re: Hildon ridiculously slow
 

Sounds like it is getting paged out. Are you leaving things running in the background (daemons, browser?)

Show us what you've installed for further investigation:

I'm very OCD when it comes to my N900 and I NEVER leave anything running when im not using it, but I dont know about daemons.

Re: Hildon ridiculously slow
 

just reboot
it always happens to me

Re: Hildon ridiculously slow
 

Rebooting wastes time, and battery charge, it would be better to find a solution that actually fix the issue instead of just sweeping things to under the rug.

Re: Hildon ridiculously slow
 

I find the same thing happens to me but usually after 2+ days of uptime. I try and keep it going but after 4 days it becames very tiresome.
A reboot isnt an option when you are out and a reboot will consume about 25% battery (which it does sometimes).

Re: Hildon ridiculously slow
 

Try to remove catorise app - there were some similar problems with it (at least with PR1.3)

Re: Hildon ridiculously slow
 

@FRuMMaGe you don't need petrovich neither, as its function is available after PR1.2.

Also, the following might be the cause of the stability issues and you'd like to remove them and test:

proximityd
recaller

Re: Hildon ridiculously slow
 

Do remove catorize. Does wonders to your battery life if nothing else.

Re: Hildon ridiculously slow
 

It actually doesn't use nearly as much - the N900's battery charge approximator just sucks at determining how much battery charge is left after a reboot.

Re: Hildon ridiculously slow
 

Those catorize bugs were fixed in the CSSU and also in most of the patched Hildon Desktops that were made by Matan/MohammadAG and others. There isn't any battery drain anymore.
