To all of you that your SP lags/freezes when you are in settings - apps or settings - storage I have found the solution! You just have to disable Google Chrome!I didn't even clean install the 4.3 update once again as suggested. I don't know why this program conflicts with settings but who cares...

So only Google Chrome but I must do a factory reset after that or no?

Yeah I did that too. I disabled all pre installed apps that I don't want to and unchecked the "Show notification" checkbox, including Google Chrome. That browser **bleep**, it runs so very slow. Firefox and Opera are the best.

Just I didn't know if that way could boost the phone up and made it run a bit smooth and faster. But yeah it works.

@ Meid, you don't have to reset the phone. All you have to do is, after upgrade the phone to 4.3, and do the factory data reset. Disable it and then just reboot the phone.
- Uncheck the Show Notification checkbox
- Clear cache
- Clear data
- Disable

Hope it helps.

I'm not sure if this version 34.0.1847.114 is the latest version or not, but it still runs slow.

As far as I rememer, Google Chrome was taking up 80MB of data space. Pretty useless!

I decided to dump Chrome too. The phone hung twice when trying to uninstall the updates - had to do a yellow button reset. In the end I got it to work by clearing Chrome's data first, then uninstalling. Something definitely not right there.

Just a question. Can you guys multitask while you're in Chrome?

Re: Solution found!

blackbox — Mon, 21 Apr 2014 13:58:19 GMT

Most of the time, yes. It would ocassionally crash Poweramp if I was listening to music. Multitasking is the one thing that got a bit better after updating to .201.

I confirm that unistalling chrome made the phone a lot faster, freed some ram too and when I clean the phones cache it doesn't crash anymore.

Yeah stop using Chrome... just use Opera. The phone is quite faster... it's not perfect but seems better.
