[Q] why the heck are my programs exiting?!

Okay, this is getting ridiculous and im getting pissed. My N10 has been working without a hitch (and without a camera flash too) for the past 6 or 7 months since i got it but one thing that is happening now is getting very annoying is it just exits out of apps when the app is trying to load something...not exiting when the app itself is loading, but when the app is busy loading another task. Man im getting mad...so for example im on facebook the interface loads fine but when i start browsing pictures and an image is taking a few seconds to load and BAM, the program closes, another example i have the AOSP browser opened and im browsing the web, I type in a web address it starts to load, and BAM, closes, playing candy crush, it plays fine and then i try to ask for help from facebook and once it starts loading my friends and it does it again.i could go on and on. its happening on game apps, google apps its pissing me the heck off and it just started about a month ago. I have tried several roms thinking it was a memory leak somewhere or something for that matter and no luck. Ive tried trinity and KT kernels thinking the stock kernel was the culprit and still no dice. Ive even gone as far as to wipe out the whole device, everything to the fullest system format and reinstall a new stock image via wugs toolkit...still happening. Can anyone tell me why this is happening and is there a fix for this? Is anyone going through this crap too? The Dev forums have been quite lately but im sure this tablet still has very active users who can help because this is getting old. BTW I am running Purity latest rom with Franco kernel r12 just in case you need to know
Does this happen after you watch videos? For me, that's the only time..apparently the surface flinger eats up the RAM and hardly 20-30MB is left for other apps. So I guess the system starts force closing the apps. I don't think we have a permanent fix for this yet. However, the workaround I have applied is I disabled Chrome which is another RAM eater and since then this random force closing and even the random restarts problem seems to have been alleviated!
Another simpler option is to restart the tab whenever you feel it is starting to operate with a lag. Takes hardly 30 seconds And hope for Google to release the fix to the surface flinger issue with 4.3!

[Q] playing music on the s5

Hello all. If there is a thread about this I apologize. I got the Samsung Galaxy s5 on the sprint network the day it came out. This is considered a major upgrade ti my previous phone - LG p504. I am learning alot about what this phone can do. One thing I cannot seem to figure out is playing music. With the purchase of the s5 is a free month of Google play. I have tried streaming and saving the music locally so I can listen away from home and save on my data plan. I have tried streaming to a Bluetooth device, the headphones that came with the device, and even aloud with no headphones and Google play will stop playing the music anywhere from 20 seconds into a song to 30 minutes. I have turned off vibration and movement controls for music and I am at a loss to what could possibly be causing it. Everyone it stops I look for things like notifications or other activity that might interrupt it and can't find anything.
Any ideas what could be causing it or what to try to resolve it?

Have you tried uninstalling it and installing it again?
Sorry for the delay. Just figuring out how to reply using the app.
I tried uninstalling which actually just roll back the updates. Didn't seem to help. Today I reset to factory and lost a small bit of data, but seems to be working better. Will try it out again tomorrow and see. I did notice that the issues I described happened with Google music as well as the internal music player so maybe it was a process that disappeared or your corrupted.

[Q] Phone app starts in background and slows down phone

Hi,
I'm running the 27082014 cm nighlty build on my i9505 and encounter following problem.
When working normaly the phone starts to slow down and act weird.
Scrolling in apps is lagging, yt stops playing and loading videos and video players are playing the last second or so in a loop.
It's like the phone has put the last method it called in a loop.
When opening the multi-tasking window the phone app is listed even though I didn't use it. I can't open it, it just returns to the home screen.
The phone app is shown black. It is difficult to even enter the multi-tasking window because it is leaving it immediatly.
I have the problem since a while.
In general I am just installing the new rom without a full wipe.
But even after a full wipe the problem was there. I don't know if it would be there before restoring my apps with TB.
I feel like some app is causing it but I don't have any suspicious apps installed.
I thought I ask here if someone knows a possible solution before I put the effort in a new rom and intensive testing.
Thank you

Transfering photos and videos to S7 edge

Just picked up a S7 edge a few days ago. And have been trying to figure out the best way to transfer my photos and videos from my mac or iPhone to it.
I used a app called "Copy my data" that the store I got the S7 from recommended. It transferred over the pics and videos from my iPhone but everything was in random order and it clumped everything under today's date. (it didnt even keep pictures that were taken within seconds of each other, near each other)
I really cant have 4000 randomised pictures without any structure in the gallery application. Is there anything you guys know that would help me bring things over but keep the original picture taken/picture created date?
I have tried to hook up the S7 with my Mac and try to use Android transfer application but it wont connect. Also tried Samsung smart switch on my mac and it tried to load the iPhone backup but doesnt change from 0%, I gave it 2 hours incase it was busy in the background but it never moved past 0%.
Do you guys happen to know of any other method to do it?
