Title: Nexus 7 (2012) performance tips
Post by: NSILMike on August 05, 2015, 11:10:07 AM
I'm running Lollipop (5.1.1) and see significant performance lag building up over time since last reboot and/or cache partition wipe.  It only takes a few days to degrade.

Does anyone have any performance improvement tips to suggest?

I have to reboot daily.  It degrades after several hours use.  Gotta be a memory leak.  I have pretty much given up using my N7 1st gen in favor of my linux laptop or my 1st gen Moto G.  The Moto G is twice as fast as the N7.

Rebooting helps, but I still have to wipe the cache partition around once a week or so.

I guess I need to wipe the cache partition in mine.  How do I do that?

Oh dear, email has reverted to not working; so I'll have to keep looking for an answer.
