Slow N900 Possibly due to clutter
My N900 is getting slow, well to be exact, it's moving at normal speed I guess but I believe the touch screen is less responsive now, it could be it has many scratches on the screen guard and so it's less responsive now. I'm thinking of flashing but I have win7 on my pc and also if I use BackupMenu will that really clear the clutter off it?

Re: Slow N900 Possibly due to clutter
Reflashing isn't going to improve how responsive the actual screen is.
Replace/remove your screen protector, they get worn out after a while. |
Re: Slow N900 Possibly due to clutter
Screen guard first, if no difference, reflash and you will have a new looking screen too ;)

I don't recall anything that would cause responsive problem but may be others know. It may be helpful if you'd show us a list of packages you've installed such that anyone spots the abnormality would come to help: Code:

opened set extras devel active a couple times, but not for a long while, just to install nitdroid. It can be the screen guard but can a couple scratches really make me have to press the X a couple times for a window to close in programmes manager view? or make typing this very laggy even when clocked at 1.2ghz nd using swapplube |
Re: Slow N900 Possibly due to clutter
You should really update the extras packages from time to time as the update may contain bug and performance fix, other than features update.
However, you'd really want to hold back some package until it's more stable, if you don't want to reflash that frequent. Say I hold the kernel power to v46, as v47 is a big leap since its previous version. To hold the update of a package, you can: Code:
echo <package name> hold | dpkg --set-selections |
Re: Slow N900 Possibly due to clutter
I do update when I'm notified

I ask because I see some of your extras packages have not been updated. E.g. Kernel power. |
