I don't worry so much that a complex window might render slowly. I can

Plug in power, or turn sus

upgrading the root filesystem
doesn't change the kernel, it must be installed separately. It could help - if
it is a kernel problem.
If nothing helps, consider trying a different phone company. The problem could
