Thanks for the reply. I'm using the latest image (r20), this was my first thing to do when I got my phone. I deleted all unnecessary apps.





Remaining apps:


Phone, Messages, Contacts, Camera, Browser, Clock


Cut the Rope, Dekko, DocViewer, Facebook, Reminders, File Manager, 
gallery, G+, Here maps, Weather, media player, pathwind, calculator, 
terminal, music.





I'm using only 1 SIM.





Thanks, I'll try to find this app.





Any suggestion?
