Why your Raspberry Pi is running SO SLOW!

- Many people use phone chargers to power their Raspberry Pi's and usually don't know that their Pi may be running slow.
In this video I investigate into the matter.

Just download more RAM
exactly what i did :trol:
I enjoyed your video, but it doesn't solve my problem. I have two Raspberry Pi 4's (8gb and 2gb) and they are both running slowly (kind of like an old machine that doesn't have enough ram).
Issues:
1. Running super slow
2. Screen Tearing
3. CPU is maxed by almost nothing
I have tried:
3 Power Supplies
1. (5.25v 3a) Argon
2. (5v 2a) Cannakit
3.phone charger (5v 2.5a)
3 Operating systems (all fully updated):
Rasberry Pi OS (latest)
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
Ubuntu Mate (latest)
Overclocked (Argon One case, safe temps):
6v
2.147ghz cpu
750mhz gpu
I also have run it at stock, 1.7ghz, 2.0ghz. Same issues
Different data mediums:
1. Samsung Evo (Class 10 UHS) 128GB
2. Other fast micro SD's, Sandisk ETC.
3. PNY USB 3.0 drive (64gb)
I made sure that both Pi's have the latest firmware
Powered USB Hub, the Raspberry Pi4's are only powering themselves
Directly connected Ethernet
I have fully updated the firmware on both units and I installed all OS updates for each OS.
In every instance, the OS runs very slowly. The CPU is maxed out by opening a browser (on both machines). There is one exception, RetroPie runs just fine, it seems to run at full speed. Am I over looking something stupid?
That's super weird, doesn't seem like you're overlooking something.
I've had a great experience with the Pi 4, noticibly snappier than the Pi 3.
Run a few benchmarks(CPU/GPU etc) and compare with others online, maybe it'll give some insight.
@@chinmayshalawadi1 Thanks, that's a smart idea.
@@chinmayshalawadi1 I just picked up a PI 4 Canakit (tested it today). I set it up for Wifi then ran it from VNC on my desktop Windows 10 computer.
It was extremely slow (I was using 5ghz Wifi). I switched it over to 2.4 ghz Wifi connection from my router and it seems to work great. Currently in the process
of running sudo apt full-upgrade to see if that helps. The power supply shipped with Canakit is a 3.5 amp per the description. I am not certain to go from here.
The pi 4 8GB is slow running no matter what. They have low throughput, the highest speed DSI port is proprietary, and they are problematic running anything but pi os. They also are not very viable to run along with a discrete graphics card. Do not be fooled. I had to learn the hard way that these boards are not capable of any of the projects I had planned when I first laid my eyes on the unreal spec sheet.. It's a good ARM chip microcontroller, but definitely a terrible computer.
My pi 3a+ very slow, I'm using cell phone adopter and cable.. what can i do this time
I just bought my 5.1V original power supply and it worked!!😮 in my Raspberry Pi 3B+. Now, games like Samurai Shodown, Metal Slug, NBA Hangtime, run pretty nice and normal fast thank you!
Have fun
its not the 5v its the 2amps the pi4 needs 3a at least to not get the undervoltage or thats what mine is did.
Outstanding content. Thanks! I bought my Pi used and it came with a cable and usb brick - never suspected those would the cause of it running so slow.
Takes 61 seconds so I guess that's not the problem
I like donuts!
(use patric voice)
Great Indian Scott 😃
Very true 😂😂
It worked for me in this case, I have a raspberry pi4, ram 4G, I changed the charger and used it from my cellphone, also I used the cable from my cell phone, and It worked perfectly, I have to say it is a little faster, I can see the improvement, like.
The explanation sounds logical, yet it does not solve my problem: On my Pi 4B, the undervoltage sign is being shown since the recent update of the OS, and now Chromium is running slow, even terribly slow when using RUclips (the power supply used has a nominal output of 3 A, but it is not the official one, instead it is the one shipped with the kit).
So I bought an official Raspberry PSU, and with that one, the Pi 4B does not even boot anymore (!).
The issues remain even when the additonal hardware is disconnected (2nd monitor, active speakers powered by Pi's USB).
Honestly I don't understand this at all (both - that the issues occur after the recent update and that the orignal PSU does solve the issues).
Am kind of helpless. Ideas welcome.
That sounds super weird, they may have changed the undervoltage threshold to be more agressive. I don't know why they would do that. It makes using 3rd party power adapter a nightmare.
You sure you didn't get a faulty unit for the original PSU ?
@@chinmayshalawadi1 Thanks for your reply. No, I am not sure I didn't get a faulty unit for the original PSU, I have no means to measure this. For now, I am using the non-original PSU again. As the issues occur only since the recent update, I hope that it is merely a kind of software problem that becomes fixed in future updates - don't know if this hope is justified.
I've not used the Pi in quite a while, I'll try it out.
Good luck with your projects!
I have the RPi 3 kit with the original power supply but the Pi is very slow. I tried LXDE, pure Openbox and even XFCE which should run smoothly but it’s terrible and basically opening web browser (lightweight Midori), terminal and file manager makes it unusable. I removed/purged all the packages I don’t need, so the OS is as clean as possible and it still doesn’t run smoothly and anything makes it unusable.
Shucks, do you think it might be a faulty unit ?
@@chinmayshalawadi1 I don’t believe I have faulty unit. I think something is wrong software wise. What I did was I set a ZRAM instead of swap and it helped a bit but it’s still not so good. I believe that for my project (temp measuring and log creation) it’s going to work just fine. I will try to dig deeper and see what I can do.
Great vid! Very useful 👍
Man you solved my Problem Great Work 👌
My rasp 4 b+ only slows down on certain games and it's not, most of the time, even graphically taxing games. Any ideas?
I'm using the official power supply that litterally came with my pi and I get an undervoltage issue.
Incredible.
Durt, Durt Durt
Superb
Noie Video Buddy, I Have Simmiliar Problem, I Hope You have a Solution for it
I Have 3 li-on Batties, Which i connected to a Power Bank module and then i Connected power bank module to Raspberry Pi (The Same Way DD Electro Tech did for his Laptop)
The Problem is that my pi blinks it lights for 30 sec while the pi is tuyrning on but then it drops and all lights goes off and then it restarts
thanks what pins where you using for voltage test on the board please?
I was measuring from the USB port pins which are soldered to the board
Great video man! Super helpful!
thanks didn;t know about the red light and undervoltage
Interesting. Thanks.
how do you do that?
thanks man
I am using a buck converter to step down from 12v to 5 volt what happens to my raspberry pi 4 while running if the voltage goes to below 4.5v or even low to 3, how my raspberry pi 4 will get affected??
Yeah your Pi might turn off or get stuck in a bootloop
@@chinmayshalawadi1 could you explain in detail i am a noob in electronics what is meant by bootloop ? will it damage any harware,?
It won't damage the Pi for the most part, but it won't run properly if voltage is below 4.5V.
If it goes to 3V it might not turn on at all.
By bootloop I mean that it will get stuck into a loop where it turns on and off continuously
@@chinmayshalawadi1 thanks a lot bro if minimum operating voltage is 4.5 means what is the maximum operating voltage of RP 4
Good video!
bunun türkçesi yok mu yaw
I'm sorry I don't speak Turkish
Oglum ingilizce ögren tek Bilmek gerek sey raspberryde oyunlar Sarslar dogru düzgün elektrik vermiyor diye donuyior o simsek isaret gelirse dogru degil.
Hey thanks, your video helped me find the problem much faster. (the cable)
That's great!
