Phone starts lagging, hanging, does not stop. - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My VS980 for the third time now randomly started lagging and hanging. By that I mean the main watch on accuweather hangs, sending text messages and downloading hangs, and just switching through home screens and app list the screen freezes and then unfreezes. Apps barely boot and social, calendar widgets do not update, and typing freezes after every word for about 3 seconds. Restart and safe mode do not fix this problem. The previous 2 times I did a hard reset but it seems to only fix the issue for about 5-7 days, but those are annoying, so is there any other solutions or anyone aware of this such type problem?

Is there some certain program you keep re-installing that could be causing issues? Have you tried any custom roms?

Definitely sounds like a rogue program running in the background. My advice is for you to do a hard reset, then install apps one at a time (run it, of course), and find out which program is causing an issue. An alternative is that you google each app to see if others using the same apps have issues.

I got this phone recently from insurance, could it be something in Kernel issue or something else? I did another hard reset, I'll look out for any apps, but it happened randomly without any downloads or installs. I have no custom roms, and I only have news apps and 3 games from EA.
Question - Could this possibly be spawned by originally having rooting problems? The phone was sort of frozen on my first root attempt for some unknown reasons, the command box suddenly froze and the android icon was frozen, I had to restart my phone and attempt root again even though the previous root attempt started and was cut off, and the first time the lag issue happened was the next day. Do you think I should try un-rooting and re-rooting my phone? Or is that irrelevant.

Are you running any custom roms, kernel, mods? Recovery installed?

Possibly a modem problem
I had this problem on my G2, and changing my modem seemed to fix it. I was using EUR KK modem even though I'm in the Middle East. Try changing to your region specific modem and then it can fix it, a dalvik/normal cache wipe can help. If all fails then try wiping, or switching roms.

[Q] New issues on stock rooted Epic

My epic is on the stock rom, just rooted. I have made no changes to the phone and the only recent changes were installing winamp and the market update. All of sudden the media scanner, at startup, never finishes and hangs until I force close it. My apps won't update, they download but hang at installing and after several reboots there is no change. The phone randomly makes the sound of lost signal twice in a row as if it looses signal and then finds it again right away even though I have full bars and this has never happened before. Also, CacheMate hangs until i force close it when I tried to clean out the cache to see if that would fix the market issue I was having. So out of nowhere, the market issue (apps not updating), media scanner hanging, and apps not working. Im just hoping that either someone knows what this could possibly be cause from or if im just going to have to hard reset my phone. I do have a backup from clockwork, but unfortunately it is quite old and I might as well just reset everything if it comes down to that. Thanks for the help.

Getting reboots whenever I uninstall an app. Known Issue? Any solutions?

So before the most recent OTA, I had started to get random reboots on my Nexus 7. They would happen at any time, with no perceivable pattern triggering them. After the update, the random reboots seem to have gone away.
Now there is just one problem remaining: every time I uninstall an app it causes my device to suddenly reboot. It is reproducible every single time I uninstall something.
Has anyone else encountered this, and if so did you find a solution other than doing a factory reset? I'd really like to avoid doing a reset since I share this device with my wife (two profiles).
PS - I am running on stock ROM with root using Koush's root app.
Actually, the second profile might be part of the problem, among many other potential causes.

So I just tried to uninstall something on my wife's profile, and it works fine. When I uninstall an app on my (primary) profile, it reboots. I tried calling Google, but they just suggested doing a factory reset.
I also tried clearing the cache, but that didn't help.

Recent Apps List issue

Hi guys, sorry for may poor english, it's not my mothertongue.
I have an irritate problem with recent apps windows After device's restart everything goes. well. Hour or less in "hard" app like Candy Crush or any other game and problem appears. When I press on recently app button the window appears for couple of seconds and crashes. I need to press again to rise it up. Sometimes it's happen, sometimes not, I didn't find a rule for using a specific app before 100% crashing, in each case it's different. Wiping a cash partition helps for couple of hours, it begins again. I did a factory reset - no result, half day of using and problem returns. Installing a stock ROM didn't help too, crashing returns after day of using. I almost sure the problem is not hardware, I have an opportunity to use device after flashing a stock ROM at least day before problem returns. My device isn't rooted, didn't make any modifications - installed clear stock ROM.
Any thoughts?
Thank's for your answers.

Random reboots with multitasking

Hi guys,
I've had a super weird issue with my phone for the past few months (although I don't remember exactly when the issue started happening). Basically, my phone randomly reboots when there is a chathead/bubble/etc on the screen. This problem happens when I use Facebook Messenger chatheads, bubbles by LinkBubble, and chatheads by YAATA. I don't think it's a program-specific issue, nor does my phone reboot every time I use those apps. It's very inconsistent and hard to predict.
Have any of you encountered this problem? Any ideas for what is causing it and/or how to fix it? It's really annoying to have my phone randomly reboot itself multiple times each day. I know I could just uninstall the three apps that seem to trigger the reboots, but I really like those apps and want to find a way to keep them around.
Have you over clocked at all?

No. The problems initially started when I was on stock, unrooted. I'm now on CM12.1 and rooted, but the random reboots are still happening.

Websites opening automatically

Hi everyone,
Since today I have the issue that randomly my internet browser opens automatically and randomly some website, it happened 2-3 times in the past hour and everytime it is a different one. I need also to mention that the last time my phone was locked and after I unlocked it the browse was allready open...
I die not install any new apps in the past days but it seems like I have some kind of malware on my phone. I tried already to scan my phone with Avast antivirus but it found nothing. Does anyone has similar experience and how I can try to track and fix this issue without having to factory reset my phone?
I've had this happen to me as well. Not to the extent that you're experiencing, and mine seemingly fixed itself. Try a reboot and check app permissions on all your apps to see if any of them seem fishy.
Save your bookmarks clear data/cache and reboot
