[Q] My SM-900T gets really hot, anyone else? - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Any time I tether, Skype w/ the girlfriend, or even listen to music, my rooted Galaxy S 5 gets REALLY hot (sometimes to the point where the screen isn't able to be touched; it burns). Is this happening to anyone else, or does someone have a fix? I'm running ART and I'm rooted. Removed some bloatware and on a Deodexed Stock ROM. That's about it. Thanks in advance! :good:

You should use battery stats to investigate which app or service is running. Then try to freeze/disable that app to see if the heat issues is solved.
Or you should reflash stock firmware, it it still too hot, it might be hardware issue

Unbearable lag in Nero4.1 with voice calls?

Anyone else? Im not exactly sure if its Phone.apk, DialerTabeActivity.apk, or simply the act of voice calls that is causing it. But it seems as though whenever i make a call, or have an incoming call, my phone almost cant handle it. It lags out like crazy.
This morning, my phone started ringing. There was so much lag that i couldnt answer the phone in time. Also, when i go to hang up a voice call, it often takes the "end call" button almost 10seconds to respond. Lastly, just earlier, i ended a call with my buddy. It LITERALLY took 3 minutes between the time i ended that call, and started a new one. Thats how bad the lag was.
Anyone else experiencing this? Any ideas how to fix it? Maybe its the modem?
This lag is literally intolerable, and a major inconvenience to efficiency.
PS - No, im not running a lagfix. I experimented with and without, and i determined that overall my phone performs better without it.
PPS - This is not me being oCD about my phone or a ROM. Im not being that "never satisfied" guy. Everything else with the ROM is great, its just this one thing.
Im using Eugene's B_Stock_1120_100 kernel, found here: http://eb-productions.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=samsungsgs&action=display&thread=28

I would try starting from stock and working back up to nero v4.1.
I appreciate eugenes work but thats where most of my problems come from. Using nero v3 and experimenting with eugenes kernals(I was bored) I had constant lag, random reboots, panic/safe mode, freezes, couldnt access external sd card etc... Try starting from stock. Are you using titanium backup with system info.

It sucks because this particular kernel of his offers almost everything i want in a 2.2 kernel (BLN, bootup/shutdown animations, lagfixes, OC/UV, and i also love the recovery menu).....although, with this ROM at least, the only lagfix that works is Voodoo, and the OC is only clocked at 1120ghz.
I was wondering if maybe this was causing it. And im mildly depressed to learn that it very well may be. I like TW's kernels, but they just seem to be battery destroyers.
So are you saying not to use this Eugene kernel at all? Should I try a TW one instead? Sorry but stock kernels suck and i want to avoid them if possible.
PS - I dont know what youre asking in terms of TiBu
I just tried it while on Wi-Fi, call came in, no lag answering it, I browsed engadget website, and no out of ordinary lag.
Flash back to stock and go back to the ROM, see if it resolves the issue.
EDIT: I am using Voodoo though
had same problem and i had just come from a fresh odin to stock. couldn't take it and went back to axura latest rom. plus vringo and video tonez don't work with roms with voice start and shutdowns.

Constant Lock Up's??

just got my S5 last week..and since ive had it i have to do constant battery pulls..
for some reason either it locks up OR the screen simply goes black and the only way to get it back up and running is to do a battery pull.
any idea as to why this would happen and/or a possible fix?
t.i.a :good:
I haven't had any problems with mine except i had the camera fail, then replaced with new phone, but since no problems. But I have most if not all bloat frozen, and anything else that I don't need I have disabled that too.
I'm going to knock on wood as I write this, and say I haven't had any issues with mine.

You can force stop APS, settings> applications>application manager. Scroll to the right to all. Select on one and stop it.
Also, I think it's all the bkoatware and 4.4 bugs in general. My 4.2/4.3 S4 never had These issues rooted on aosp ROMs, let alone brand new stock

You can disable them also so that they don't start. And as you can see from these screen shots they are disabled/turned off. These are the ones that I have disabled:
thank you both..i just frooze a ton of apps!
lets see how this plays out.

[Q] Performance problems after Root

Is anyone else experiencing any performance issues after root? I'm trying to figure out exactly what is happening, so if anyone has suggestions please send them my way.
I haven't done anything crazy after root except install Super Su, freeze some apps with TiB, and remove some bloat (VZW stuff). Now every reboot from my device takes between 3 to 10 minutes to fully come up (using All-in-one toolbox). It used to take under 2 minutes. Scrolling between screens are slow as hell too.
S Health no longer works (I read the threads about fix, but doesn't work for me).
I had to uninstall Xposed framework and Wanam (too laggy) and disabled the Google Now Launcher.
Please, post up any helpful suggestions or anything I should try to improve my performance. Thanks!

Did it start only after root or after installing the xposed framework? If it was the latter have you tried the fixes that have been posted?(disable secure storage, clear shealth cache/davlik cache.)

Thanks for the reply Rakuu and yes, I have tried clearing both caches and secure storage is disabled. The degraded performance started after getting root, but I installed Xposed pretty quickly afterwards. It almost feels like stuff is running in the background, but I can't see any blatant process that could be causing it.
I was actually thinking that the S5 would fly after freezing or removing the bloat. Weird.
You can always Odin back to stock . I had Bluetooth problems and lag after root. I went back to stock and no more problems

That's what I'm going to do I think. I hate my phone now.
EDIT: Noticed this morning that notifications are not working properly and something is also draining my battery. Phone died over night (77% battery) at 10:30pm and late for work today.
Question (probably stupid one): Is there a way to redo the root process or do a factory reset without loosing root to try and fix these issues? Otherwise, will be using Odin today. Thanks.

I'm having similar issues, although not quite as bad as yours, after rooting, removing bloat and installing Xposed. I'll be ODIN'ing back to stock and re-rooting tonight.
If I were you, I would do the same: ODIN back to stock and then re-root. Rooting is now a 1 click deal so it's really not hard or time consuming at all. Then just make sure to take your time removing bloat and modifying to try and identify what exactly is causing the performance issues.
So my phone seems to be functioning normally now, but I'm not sure why. Battery is lasting all day, screens seem more responsive, notifications working, and I even got S Health to start working with fix (wasn't editing/saving the build.prop file correctly). I still need to re-install Xposed and Wanam, but I didn't want to push my good luck.
Can anyone guess why performance is better now (like night and day difference)?!
I noticed it with mine too. I put it back to stock and left it

Same here. I Odin mine back to stock, then rerooted and froze a few apps but didn't touch Xposed or Wanam. It's running so much better now

I had similar issues after setting up safestrap. It lagged, WiFi never wanted to connect or anything. Factory reset and just used towelroot and xposed and haven't had much issues at all. Some apps lag a bit but I figure its to be expected.

Rooting itself does not change performance. Just clarifying because the subject line suggests that it does.

[Q] Huge lag spikes

So i've had my G2 for a few weeks now and it has started acting weird.
I have done nothing to it besides installing some apps, from the play store not from anywhere else.
But now it has started lagging MASIVELY, sometimes i can't even come past the lockscreen, and sometimes the lockscreen is not even there.
Also when i try to type a message or something it starts the massive lag, i have no diea why since i've jsut used it as it is, taking photos and using instagram/facebook/snapchat, no gaming or anything else.
Also, notifications comes after the real message i get, vibration comes on 15 seconds before.
It also heats up when it is in my pocket and drains the battery.
This usually happends when i open up facebook messenger, but i can't uninstall it since i find it necessary to have.
If anyone could i reply, i would be higly gratefull!
@RomWiz I dont know why all those things are happening to you but, you can try to wipe cache,dalvik-cache and flash dorimanx kernel and or switch to another stock based rom.
If you wanna stay stock I suggest to go to settings and see how much the apps are using your memory. Facebook is syncing the whole time so its really an battery drainer. On full stock I also cant suggest much what to do since I never had that phone.
I hope that someone else with real g2 experience could help you more with your issue, goodluck with your problem and I hope you can fix it soon.:good:

How could i wipe dalvik on the stock rom?
And i've had it for a few weeks, and i see no one else complaining about this lag on the G2, so i don't know why this is happening.
tried rebooting?
also check the battery stats in the settings see if it shows what's draining battery, that's most likely causing all the system hogging

I may also think that it has to do something with the thermal throttling of LG stock rom.
The only way to wipe it is in an custom recovery without wiping all your data.
I did a factory reset and it seems to be fixed now, but who knows.
Maby in a few weeks it'll start again.
@RomWiz alrigh have fun with your phone if it happens again I suggest to maybe flash an modified stock rom or the g3 rom port with dorimanx kernel.

Lag in the galaxy S7 edge

I bought a used S7 edge, the guy who sold me could not verify the origin of the very cellphone. He had received it as part of a payment someone owed him. The thing is, whenever I used a stock rom the S7edge becomes laggy, if I use any custom rom it works perfectly. I have tried pretty much all types of stock roms and wipes without success. I am no developer so, I can't find any relation between the stock becoming laggy and custom working fine.
Is there a way to fix it?
Thanks
Have you researched the stock roms to see if users are reporting increased speeds? Maybe the stock just feels laggy in comparison. Also, stock usually geeks more laggy at the beginning anyway due to bloatware and more apps to cache.
I have already searched for anything like it without success. I forgot to mention that when I day laggy I mean really laggy. Also, when I reboot it loses the wifi settings as if I had not connected to any wifi networks. Maybe that can help someone find a solution.
Thanks for replying though!

Hi, the solution is to upgrade your Samsung S7 Edge to the newest update. I used Odin and Official ROM to install upgrade and now my phone status became OFFICIAL!!
