Milestone slow and laggy, what to do?

[xderia]

I did just update to 2.1, but that did not help, still very slow.

Anybody else notice this?

How can I find out what is causing this? I don't want to reinstall.

What can I do to make the phone as fast as it was when it was new?

Hmm... faster Milestone. Here is what I did:

Traded it on Craigslist for a Nexus One.

What apps do you have installed? More often than not when a phone gets laggy, you have two or more apps not playing well together.. give us a list and we'll work from there

Go to market and download a taskiller, kill any tasks that you don't want them running.

get root explore n delete unwanted apps from ur phone

I had this problem i downloaded the 2.1 telus spf restored and rooted and my phone is faster then 2.0.1 but when i used the motorola updater my phone got extremely slow.

Hum, so, I'm not the only one ... My Milestone is slow too, not smooth at all ... Even after the 2.1 updates and all apps killed ...

The reason is because Milestone is a sucky phone.

It wouldn't be a problem if we had an unlocked bootloader, but Motorola wont do that.

Look at the overclock solution, it's a good beggining

Yes, I overclocked to 1.2GHz. It's a lot smoother now but I still prefer my HTC Desire
