So I've got a rooted AT&T Note 3. It's running the original ROM but modded like crazy. For the past couple of weeks, Snapchat has been horribly laggy. Every action takes a few seconds. The camera takes 10-15 seconds to load, and then freezes for up to 30 seconds before loading again. I have uninstalled, restarted, and reinstalled many times. Any ideas on how to fix this?
Nothing else is laggy or buggy at the moment on the phone. I have not subscribed to the beta either. When the keyboard finally loads in snapchat, it types fine. I've got a OnePlus One coming in a few weeks, but I'd like to get Snapchat working normally again until then.
Thanks in advance.

My Snapchat done this exact same thing, it was on my Nexus 5 though. I put it down to the ROM and /or Xposed (was using keepchat). Sure enough once I reflashed and reinstalled it worked fine. Not sure why it does this but it was the first time it had ever happened to me.
Try dirty flashing your ROM. And don't use so many xposed tweaks. See if it resolves, then wittle down which mod is messing with it.

I have been working with Cyanogenmod on my Samsung Galaxy S4 for a while now. Since a month or so, I am experiencing terrible slow down. I work fine when i reboot the device, but after a minute or so, still slow. I can't compose a message because the keyboard does not follow input, launcher takes a few seconds to switch pages, ... And the strange part, RAM usage is below half.
I tried using a stock rom after that, which worked fine, no slow down at all. Now I'm running Cyanogen again, and the slow down still happens. I switched from dalvik runtime to ART, no luck. Tried cleaning all caches, no luck. Does anybody have an idea? And is this the right place to ask people?
It worked fine for a lot of time, but now the app is unusable. I can't open it, it takes me back to the home screen without any errors. I tried the beta too, nothing.. Any helps? SM-G900F Android lollipop
Same problem here too shows no errors or fc. Can hardly watch any videos or look at pics without it crashing. Tried contacting the Dev of the app but no go, clearly doesn't give 2 turds
Same here, aint that some ram leak problem? Fb app takes 200mb+ now
tapatalk @ es five
Bummer
Same issues here. Was running CyanogenMod 12.0 for the longest time and just switched to Resurrection Remix to hopefully have it stop crashing...but no dice. Crashes with 30 seconds any time I do anything in the app. Sucks!
I enrolled to beta programa like 3 weeks ago and everything was just fine, but yesterday after some apps updated the phone started freezing a lot, all the apps started crashing especially WhatsApp and Instagram, when I unlock the phone it takes like 5 seconds, also a lot of times when I go to the home screen after writing something, the keyboard stays on screen and it doesnt hides, I dont know what is happening, if someone could help me I would thank it a lot.

Don't mean to scare you, but that is exactly what was happening to me right before going into an unrecoverable bootloop. Nothing I tried revived the device, although there have been some that have been able to. I ended up RMA'ing my device as nothing I did brought it back to life. You might be in a different situation but just giving you a heads up.
*Bump*
Stock 7.1.1 and rooted here. I've been on the official 7.1.1 release for our 6P's since early December, and for the past week or so, I've been experiencing freezing as well. I'd be in the middle of typing in Hangouts, streaming music in the car via bluetooth and Spotify, or just waking the phone up from sleep. For the past few days, I've been getting 3-4 freezes per day.
On rare occasions, I've left the phone alone to settle, and it returns to normal, but more times than not, a hard reset is the only 'fix'; until the next freeze.
I reluctantly wiped the phone, unrooted, flashed stock 7.1.1 and re-rooted all via NRT last night. The phone froze again this morning coming off the charger...
Granted, it decided to restore 528mb's worth of WhatsApp history as soon as I unplugged it (why it didn't restore on charger overnight is beyond me though). Will update if it freezes again.
The phone runs butter smooth with zero issues other than these freezing occurrences though. MO, the 6P is the best all-rounded phone currently available, even if it's a year old already.
Appreciate any help or suggestions!!
That's odd try ex kernel and over clock or try HEBF manager on play store
Quick update. Couldn't bear the multiple freezes per day, so I called Google to ask for help. Apparently I've done everything I can on my end (including a factory reset and updating to the latest firmware), so they sent out a replacement 6P to me free of charge. They'll also be covering the courier/shipping costs for my old 6P too. Fantastic customer service. Kudos to them!! I called them Tuesday morning (20th Dec) Australian time, and received my replacement 6P Friday afternoon (23rd Dec). Very quick indeed
Half a day after setting up my replacement 6P, including updating to 7.1.1, I started getting the same symptoms as my old 6P. Freezing, unresponsiveness, etc. Persisted for another day and had enough. I've since done a full wipe and downgraded back to the final 6.0.1 release, and it's been stable as a rock for 3 days now. No freezes, lagginess, nothing.
So I deduce it might actually be a software issue with 7.1.1, and not a hardware problem. It appears a growing number of Pixel and Pixel XL users are also experiencing random freezes on their new phones running 7.1.1 too...
Looks like I'll stick with 6.0.1 until Google makes a formal announcement and something is done about 7.1.1. I've missed Xposed and GravityBox too, so 6.0.1 is all good. Most importantly, it's stable
Had you ever tried booting into safe mode to see if maybe an app was causing the issue? Maybe a compatibility issue between an installed app(s) and 7.1.1

Thanks for the pro tip. I did consider doing that with the replacement 6P, but the only apps that I had installed were the stock Google ones that came with 7.1.1, WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and SwiftKey. I just assumed if such popular apps were the cause, a lot more people would have pinpointed them as the problem?
I did however read a few users claiming SwiftKey to be the culprit prior to RMA'ing my old device, but even after uninstalling that from my old phone, I was still getting the freezing issues.
Hello everyone, I did some searching on what I'm going to ask but it seems as though all I've read were due to rooting and pertained to logins.
I have a new Moto XPE running the stock Sept. 1st Patch. I can log into Snapchat just fine, my issue lies after I'm using the app. Messages won't load in Snapchat and stories become stock on loading as well. On some Snapchat stories that are loading, after looking at a few images, the screen goes black and is again stuck on loading. Eventually the app crashes and sometimes the phone will crash as well to the point where other apps like YouTube just won't open up and the phone will either reboot on its own or require one from myself manually. Has anyone with a Moto XPE or Moto X Play experienced any of the issues I've described?
Thank you.
Holy crap, I thought it was just me, or that I was just going crazy.
Weird thing is I only started noticing any problems at all when I flashed from stock to a few of the various Nougat builds (CM14, then AICP, back & forth a couple times, then RR) which all have camera driver issues. I noticed half the time the camera wouldn't load upon starting snapchat, or if it did, it would take ~10 full seconds to change from the blank black screen, and sometimes if I would flip it to the front camera or vice versa, it'd just hang indefinitely.
That's the primary reason I switched back to stock a few days ago - I use snapchat A LOT and nougat just doesn't have enough cool features to justify one of my most-used apps basically being crippled to the point of not working the majority of the time. But once I restored my stock backup (not the September security update, the one before it) the camera started up fine in SC but I started getting EXACTLY all the problems you described.
The general consensus seems to be that SC is a super poorly-coded app on Android to begin with, but this must be a recent thing as it makes it downright unusable. I'm actually in the process of going back to 7.1.1 because that still works better than what the app's been doing lately. I wonder if it's happening on devices other than the MXPE?

It happened on my BlackBerry Priv too. I just switched over from that device a few days ago
I'm on stock 6.0.1 and I don't have any big issues with snapchat, the only one is that sometimes camera is very dark at start and I have to go to messages and back to camera to fix that

Yeah same here, it can get a little laggy sometimes for me but I just log out and back in and it works fine.
This might not be here nor there for this specific issue, but if you use Xposed/Snapprefs/rooted etc etc...One thing I noticed that REALLY causes a lot of lag with snapchat is overlays. Especially the FB Messenger app. If you have those chat heads on your screen with Snapchat open as well, things are basically unusable until you get back to the home screen and force close both apps. Could be happening without Xposed as well. Just a thought.
On a side note about Snapchat in general- it has always run like crap on every phone I've owned.
Snapchat kept screwing up, even tried the beta. Decided to try Casper and so far it's working great
Is there any way to figure out what's causing a random reboot?
I'm rooted, running A-O Rom, which is almost stock Android 8.
I got a random reboot when I used the camera the other day (it took about 5 pics and then rebooted).
Today I got a random reboot in the middle of playing "Words With Friends."
I've never had any issues with these apps before. Since it was today and 3 weeks ago, I doubt it will happen again soon, but I don't want it to happen again at all, especially since I'll be going on vacation soon and needing it for pics/alarm clock/phone/etc.
Any suggestions?

Could be just Oreo. Im on stock temp root and get random reboots, way more then nougat.
I ran A-O's 8.0 for almost a year without any reboots...
Any other ideas from anyone on how to diagnose this? or fix this?
