hi guyzz:
I have been using my S5 and sometimes music stops playing. fingerprint sensor stops to work but i get to access with alternative code.
I enter but find that touchwiz launcher restarts... I freak out not knowing what happened and check the ram. It is using 90% of avaiable ram. I dont know what uses so much ram. and sometimes camera takes a picture but picture looks broken and same. touvhwiz launcher restarts... sometimes...but frequently.
anyone knows?
add: any happened to see that power button becomes unresponsive? does greenify or gravity screen make perfect culprit? because i uninstalled them, restarted and everuthing is fine now...

I think this is the same issue:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2734358
Can you provide more information please? This happens using the stock Music app or it's not related?
Maybe there's a memory leak somewhere. I haven't encountered the issue yet but I always use Play Music.

So is your warranty.
I would love to do the same. as I did with almost every device in the last years. but Knox Status is a realy pain in the ass. My device now responds quicker after switching to another launcher, but it's even snappier after a restart. Touchwiz simply is a pain in the ass.

yeah, warranty is gone now coz of knox...
but hey without root you cant even change music with volume buttons...
use swipeback, gravity box, titanium backup etc... we are losing so much freedom for warranty.
Once I proof that my device is not defective 4 one month, i will root it...

Hi guys,
I have been a silent follower but now I really need your help to get out of this mess.
Bought an s5 SM G900H on 23rd apr(India), since the very first day noticed a strange issue that when listening to songs for a long time, say an hour at a stretch the music app just crashes and then when I check my running applications all of them show restarting without actually restarting the services.
After this the phones response becomes pathetic and every app crashes the moment I start them. I have to reboot the device to get it working again. What seems to be the issue?
Only happening when I listen to music for quite some time.It seems the phone is just not able to free enough ram as ram usage peaks and no amount of killing all apps frees any ram.
Should I not get a replacement phone? Samsung svc people were telling me they'll update the software and then see, but then my DOA period would be over. I am regretting my decision to buy the phone.
Help guys!
Ps: Checked with kies and on sammobile, I am already running on the latest build. G900HXXU1ANCI

Got my device replaced and its still giving me the same issue. So to conclude it, there is some bug with samsungs music player as this doesn't happen with play music app. Don't worry bro it'll be patched in an update soon and a g3 may also have certain bugs at launch. All this is a part of new device hitiing the market, bugs are to expected.
BTW is yours an exynos model or snapdragon? Mine is exynos.

hi buddy! im glad i am not the only one xD I thought i had a defective device.
and for g900H, it is the international model of exynos chipset. g900F is the international model of snapdragon 801.
I thought this was a hardware issue. I hope they can do something about this. Samsung plz
Have you also seen a rare issue that your power button stops working? like if the button doesnt work. I think this may have been a problem related to greenify without root. Im scared to try it again so, if anything happens, you guys should know. xD uninstall greenify and restart.

Hi Mate,
The thing that surprises me is how an issue or a bug like this escaped the samsung testing team.
The power button at times becomes unresponsive if the services are stuck at restarting. Not just that the whole phone starts acting weird, my finger print scanner won't work intermittently and every app crashing, the homescreen resetting etc. I spoke to Samsung Head Office here in India and they asked me to send a detailed mail about the issue. I have done that. Now the best we can do is wait for them to release a fix.

Yeap, thanks, I just downloaded it and looks like it crashed but lets see what happens if I listen to music for 1+ hour- I will report back.
Interesting, same use case in a G900H:
If wouldn’t be a Samsung phone without the occasional crashes and sadly, the S5 is no stranger to this. Despite being on KitKat 4.4.2, the S5 will lag intermittently and at times crawl to a halt, forcing you to restart the phone. We noticed this couple of times when listening to music. The song would just pause itself and OS would simply stop responding.

I dont know if this has already been posted (im sure it has and mods can delete this if need be) but, the stock music app is a battery and RAM drainer and leaker, so much to the point where it cripples the phone into an unusable state. In order to fix this problem, i would recommend switching to Play Music, as it still has SD Card rights and doesnt generate this horrible problem. (This is what i am now doing) just wanted to inform anyone who didnt know/had the same problem i did!

Yeah, i was using the app for the first time yesterday during class, and it kept cutting out for no reason. I figured out the solution on the ride home. Play music seems to be working fine though! I dont know if Samsung can update it via samsung apps or play store or if it needs to be via OTA update, but they need to fix it.

It sounds like you know what you're talking about. I'm just a little confused. Bluetooth isn't running. It's not even turned on. So, I'm not thinking it's an app. Apparently it's a known issue. I just wonder if anyone has fixed it .. Or how their dealing with it.

It is a bug with in kitkat its self not lg's ui
Download the service disabler app from play store
Open it and go to system apps .. scroll down to bluetooth open it and kill all blue services by clicking them ...
If you end up with any issues with bluetooth not working just revert the diaabled services .
This app works for any serice and is my best friend

I dunno. I asked myself the same question. I charged to 100% and then unplugged and went about 16 hours with about 5 hours screen on time before the phone turned itself off.... Others get better life. With the other kit Kat stock rom I had I went about 18 hours with 5 hours screen on time and had about 20% left.... That rom started random rebooting. Never could figure out why... If I reflash it will remove my TWRP hence why I don't just reflash that one and started using this one....

Hey guys!
I picked up a 2012 nexus 7 for pretty cheap and I really love this tab. Does everything I would want it to do. However, one thing that's kind of annoying is the Facebook app is super slow... The app itself is responsive but the data loads as if I have a dial up connection. I ran a speed test from it and get 12+ meg...I also have an iPhone and iPad both connected to the same wireless ap and don't have any issues... All other apps seem to be fine as well. Any suggestions?
Thanks guys!!

Hidden apps is limited to 5 from default 10 or 15 = less services for device to handle.. and use_16bpp_alpha=1 forces your device to use 16 bits instead of 32 bits. Try it. Don't like it? Just delete it. Simple.
