| |  I solved my "Spinning Clock"/Lagging/Battery Drain problem...
So this issue was driving me nuts, and I tried every possible solution posted on this and other forums, with no success. So I came up with one last option... remove my micro-sd memory card. I have a 16gb micro-sd memory card in my Torch, with about 9gb of it being used (photos and videos). Although I never suspected that this was the cause for my problems, sure enough, after I pulled it out and using the phone all day yesterday, I not once had the spinning clock, lagging, or battery drain problem (whereas it would have easily occurred over 20 times in that same duration before). I have on more "experiment" today... and that is to re-insert the micro-sd card, but to disable automatic compression. Let's see what that does... I'll keep you guys posted.

Thanks for the update. I think we all forget how much a micro-SD card can cause problems.

Yes, thank you for the update. Please let us know how your Torch is when the micro-sd card is back in and the automatic compression is off. It'll be interesting to see if that helps your problems from before.

Hmm, this is very interesting, my Torch has been slow for the past little while...
I just turned off the compression option...lets hope this makes it nice and snappy again!

I wonder how using the onboard media storage would differ in effect…
I only have about 2MB of mostly photos (majority are wallpapers) on my 8GB microSD card, while I have nothing on my 4GB onboard media memory.
@ IWANTARIMWATCH - Just curious: what class SD card were you using?

I am EXTREMELY happy to report that.... after re-inserting my 16gb Micro-SDHC card back into my Torch, and turning the compression OFF, I am not having the spinning clock/lagging/battery drain problem anymore. What a difference it makes! I tested this all day yesterday and wanted enough time to go by before I reported back. I hope this helps a lot of people... I'm sure it will!

Wow who would've thought that this issue could've been easily fixed by turning the Auto Compression off. Great find.

Yeah, this is kind of odd. I decided to try turning compression off even though I wasn't really having any issues and almost accidentally read this thread. Perhaps it's just a placebo effect, but the phone seems to be super fast now. Is it supposed to make a difference whether you have much on the SD card or not? I think I have one song on it, and that might be it.

P.S. When you say Auto Compression, you mean Enable Compression under Options > Device > Storage, right?
