My PRIV is light years faster and perfectly stable. I accidentally discovered why the PRIV is a little doggy and has terrible battery life out-of-the-box: a lot of the built-in software. I disable as much as possible in favor of third-party or not having the "feature" and mine now has excellent performance AND excellent battery life. I'd use it as my daily driver if it didn't have the keyboard the wrong direction. 😉 @EskeRahn I have just now retired my Priv from daily use and replaced it with a Motorola One which is quite a cheap and functional (bar the physical keyboard) stopgap for now. Would you care to elaborate on how you succeeded getting yours to run smoothly? I seriously like my Priv and only replkaced it because it has been unbearably slow to use recently. Could be via PM.

Thanks Nothing to hide LOL. I just went into the app list, force stopped, disabled, and deleted data for every single stock app, Google, BlackBerry, and otherwise, that I possibly could. I don't remember which ones, but it was EVERY SINGLE ONE that it allowed, with the exception of Phone, although I don't use that either at this point on that device because I hate the keyboard. I mostly use it to watch YouTube videos of Finnish rednecks crushing things, and occasionally this forum when the battery is dead on my Droid 4. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm going to double check that it really is and I'm not misremembering, but the screen shots you just posted don't look exactly like mine, so I think I'm right. I did nothing at all to mine; it came to me however it is. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Given how this thread has gone, I think a bit of off-topic discussion might be the breath of fresh air it needs. Erik or possibly other mods can always edit the first post with updated information, which is generally the best practice to use for these sorts of posts anyhow. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
