My trust old x5 has started really slowing down after entering a few key strokes. it suddenly goes into slo-mo and take several minutes to execute any operations.
Any one have a similar problem or have suggestions on how to fix it?

thanks

Have you tried:

1) Soft reset
2) Cleaning out temp files, history, etc.
3) Reinstalling apps onto memory card instead of main memory
4) Hard reset (keeping in mind you will lose your installed programs and data). You can backup first, but realize that if you restore from that backup, you may be restoring back your problems.

Thanks, Gigi

I have done a soft reset, have to to to be able to use it. I have Removed programs, but could you recommend a good cleaner? There are some programs that don't seem to uninstall well. I suspect that I either have a virus (?) or a memory leak, ie programs eating up my memory registers.

My cleaner favourites are:

SKTools features
MemMaid - DinarSoft

Try the demos so see if they are any help. The fact that you have to always do a soft reset implies a memory problem, as you also said. Remember that clicking on the X at the top right corner doesn't close the app unless you have installed a utility to do so.

Unless you absolutely cannot afford to lose your installed programs or data, I'd try a hard reset to start fresh. Then reinstall only those apps you need and to memory card or built in storage as much as possible. Some apps may require main memory installation, but keep those to a minimum. Also, install a proper application manager (one that closes programs) and cleaner.
