[Q] Apps Keep restarting causing lag - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dear,
I am using LG G2 D802 stock 4.4.2 ROM no root and no task killers/managers. I read a lot about how android handles the RAM and I found that it keeps the programs in it for easier access the next time which is good.
My problem now is when I open an app e.g. facebook it loads and when I press the home button and open another app then get back to it it loads again and many times when I press the home button the launcher loads and it takes about 2 seconds. Every time I open the settings and go to running apps I find that most of the programs are restarting.
Why are they restarting? There is plenty of RAM so no need for them to close at first. Please help
Thanks in advance.

Have you tried removing all applications other than the stock apps to see if that addresses your issue? If you boot into safe mode does it still happen? Have you wiped the phone's cache?

The problem is getting worse and All apps are restating now.

On what base are you?d f etc?...try to backup all your data and factory reset.

Stock Rom with no root. Can you recommend a backup software which works without root?
Thanks

Bummer this thread didn't go anywhere. I'm trying to find answers for the same issue. A clean wipe helps for a bit, but it doesn't work for long. I've even tried a new ROM (stock based). No luck. Did you ever solve your issue?

I had this problem for a while, when I installed a custom kernel with a seemingly aggressive memory management. Switching it to 'low' instead of 'default' fixed it, but I'm not sure if my case applies here since the OP is talking about stock ROM and kernel.

flashing data in manage applications

Anyone else go into the app screen on manage applications and see all the data flashing and the buttons too. I have to exit and go back in several times to get a stable screen to be able to the clear data or cache
Any particular app, or all of them? Are you using Titanium, or running a custom ROM?
I've never seen this until last week. I flashed the Virtuous Unity ROM, then tried to restore ChompSMS via Titanium Backup. Chomp SMS kept giving me force closes. Going to that app in Manage Applications gave me flashing, non-responsive buttons like you described. Hitting the Back button, and selecting the app again, made the buttons behave normally. Restoring Chomp using Titanium kept giving me the same result, whether I restored with app data or not. Just uninstalling the app, and installing the original APK fixed the problem. Not sure if the Titanium backup data was somehow corrupted, or what. But it seems fine now, and I haven't noticed this issue with any other apps (including ones restored from Titanium).
If the app is not one where you need to keep the data, just uninstall the program and re-install, and see if that helps.
EDIT: I see from your other posts, that you are also on Unity. So perhaps its some bug or incompatibility in the ROM? It would help if you mentioned things like running a custom ROM, when asking about an issue.

Its a known issue with unity. I believe the sensation has exactly the same problem with the stock rom

Frequent force close of system applications

Hello
Android version: 2.3.3
Running stock ROM with XWKF3 with default Samsung launcher. (let me know if further info is required)
From few days GS2 has been starting to force close the system applications out of blue. Not had this issue since 3 months. Basically I would get a force close of Google services initially (pic attached) which would throw that pop up in a contionus loop. When I later check out others apps the following applications also gave me the force close error:
1. Internet (doesn't even let me see the force close error. The box appears for less than a milliseconds and closes off)
2. Email
3. Gmail
4. Messaging
5. Social Hub
6. Gtalk
7. Tasks
8. YouTube
9. Wireless will not connect and it tries to scan and later switches off automatically.
10. TW launcher (not all the time, the home screen will restart itself on a contionus loop - effect similar to when we clear through RAM from task manager.
As u can see the above apps are mostly the system apps. Specifically android apps rather than touchwiz.
Here is what I have tried:
1. Try exiting all apps and clearing the RAM through task manager. But still the above mentioned applications force close.
2. so the only way was for me to switch off and the on the device. However this does not look like a permanent solution since the problem appears again like two or three times a day.
I would also like to point out that may be the issue issue is only when the wireless and is turned on. I can't be sure here completely.
Also after I restart the device oddly everytime the device temp shows as 39° C and then cools down.
I have not rooted my device at all and also have not installed any application which does a system wide changes (oh except Samsung app update and Samsung mobile security from the Samsung app store)
Just not able to know wot is causing the problem
So could anyone please help me out to as to solve this issue? Is some kind of virus/malware being attacked? Is the device suffering from faulty hardware?
Gald to provide any further info if required.
Thanx.
Have you tried fixing permissions a lot of time that solves FC's, if not id recommend doing a full wipe.

Thanx for the reply. What does fixing permission actually mean? also would I have a risk of killing my device when doing a full wipe? would I void my warranty? is it same as doing an hard reset on Nokia phones?
sorry for so many questions, this my first android device and got to get used to troubleshooting stuff :-/
Thanx!

Fixing permissions fixes problems often associated with Force Close errors.
boot into recovery > advanced > fix permissions > reboot system now.
if fixing permissions doesn't work you should do a full wipe and you should be ok then.
I would definitely root your device if i were you most people do you can so much more, you can always "unroot" if you do need to send it for repairs and are worried about warranty.

Hello
I tried to use the fix permission options. I went to recovery mode by switching off the device and holding down the volume up key + home key + power button and releases them once the Samsung logo appeared. I got the following screen. Link:
(there was an error attaching the pic
However I cannot see the "advanced" option though :-/ help?
And now after reading your post I'm actually thinking of rooting my device. Once I have time for it. Thanx for the advice on that.
Well it looks like issue is solved. I dint get option of "fix permissions" but by accident choose the fourth option "wipe cache partition" out of curiosity. And from that day on dint have any force close issues.
Just wanted to add that i too experienced this. Fixed it with a factory reset as i didn't think of wiping cache. I was not rooted, running KI1 2.3.4.
Force Close fix??

I guess that's my last resort. Damn
Edit: How would I even factory reset it? I literally can't use the phone. It's bricked. And in the recovery mode menu there is no option to factory reset. (tried pressing power and volume up)
If your phone is still locked, save the data (if needed) via adb and unlock it. But there could be easier way.

go to gmail account settings and sync everything. Google play will have your apps backup but not app data. Save all music, pics and files that you dont want to lose to your computer. Then just go to backup and reset in your settings menu and select Factory Data reset.
if that doesnt solve your problem you might have to use fastboot to reinstall the Jellybean.

I've had something similar to this on my G2x at one point; Android keeps popping up with errors and you can't do a single thing but reboot...which ends up erroring the same way when you're back in in an endless loop.
OP, you'll have to wipe and reinstall. If you've rooted it and enabled USB debugging then you're golden. If not, you'll have to go through several hoops to flash a factory image.

I am having this situation right now for my Nexus 4 (running stock 4.2.2 and installed Quick Settings mod from kevdliu, use the ROM for a long time and one day want to wipe all, after wiping, and reboot system I got this) and I think I figured out the solution: Wait until the battery is exhausted and automatically turned off, then put it into the charger for some time. Then pull it out of the charger, press volume up + down + power to get into fastboot. From here, we can wipe all and flash a new rom, or restore to stock rom, or do anything fastboot can do.

why install quick settings when stock 4.2.2 comes with its own form of quick settings? I'm willing to bet that's your problem!

you haven't used stock 4.2.2 have you? Its quick settings is so frustrating, it always takes me to Settings to turn on or off Wifi. I want a quick Settings that takes only one click to turn on or off Wifi, so I have to install that mod. Btw, I'm still waiting for the battery to die

hey i know this thread was already answered but i found that this messaged popped up after changing some settings for the navigation bar at the bottom of the screen. i didnt want it on my screen because i kept clicking either the back button or the home button which was very frustrating. so i tried to turn it off..that didnt work so instead i set all of the buttons to empty and the visibility to 0% and only after tracing back the steps i took (having to click the ok button for the stupid message about 80 times) i finally managed to find out that the navigation bar was the problem. hope you guys are able to fix your problem as simply as i did without doing anything drastic.

I recently had this issue and determined also that it must be something with my status/notification bar as it seemed to resize the screen to show the bar and then immediately resized it again as it displayed the System UI message. I use both Wanam and XBlast and disabled those as well as all Xposed modules. I also disabled Nova Launcher as default and rebooted. Re-enabled all and rebooted again and problem was resolved. Hopefully this will help others as well.

Hi I have huawei ascend y511 and after disabling google keyboard i turned off phone and put it back on. This happened. Help me please, How do I get it back to normal?

[Q] i need help, bricked my SM-g870a

Disclaimer: this has nothing to do with the quality of the program i was working with and everything to do with MY lack of knowledge of android systems and what I am doing.
purchesed: 8/23.2014
my att gs870a
rooted: towelroot
xposed module: donkeyguard
the last few things that i had done was to install ABP for android and then downloaded donkeyguard. i checked the box in modules for Xposed installer and it required a reboot. i rebooted device and it starts booting up and gets to att screen and stops.
boot loader is set to freeze most of the automatic updates including KNOX
i have root cloaker in place
Xposed privacy guard in place
i can reboot into manual holding up arrow, home and power keys
from there i dont know what to select: restore factory defaults?
please help
i can try to provide any extra information that you may require and i have more rooted updates on device. please take pity on a NOOB. i dont claim anything other than sometimes a little knowledge is dangerous.
thanks

sorry that this is my first post. i have learned alot form this forum. this is my first android device. i had been on using BB 9930 up to now.
hi again
here is what i was able to work thru. hard boot holding vol/home/power into manual. at this point i was able to get kies3 to read device. reset to factory options and reinstalled last backup. phone is back up and running/rooted and reloaded with the exception of a couple of the last programs i had installed. now for the question:
it seems to be running slower than it was before. used TB to refreeze a number of apps and i was hoping it would show me if there were dup's. i am thinking this could be causing the slower operation. have used Antutu to check it against prior to brick. any thoughts on what might be causing it?
thanks in advance

Asus zenfone X008D full root space

Hello,
I have a Zenfone 3 Max I guess ( serie in the back X008D), which is lagging so much, I tried many factory resets but nothing improved.
While browsing settings I found that space used by the root is full, 7.98/7.98 Gb i think the problem is from this.
Is there any method how to reinstall the whole system, or rooting it if it can help solve this issue.
I searched in google and asus forum but I found nothing..
thanks in advance.

are you referring to what you see available in the "storage settings" page? My system reserved storage is 11.34/11.34gb and my phone doesn't lag. Click on "internal shared storage" and "clear cached data" if you are low on space there as well.
When did it start lagging? Backup all your apps with titanium backup and then uninstall them one by one and see which was causing the issue. Or just do a factory reset and then load your apps back one by one and see which causes it to lag.
Or is your phone lagging with just the base stock Rom and no other apps on it?
No issue
We have a the same exact phone model.
And i have no problem at all.
What u saw is normal
So i think that is not the problem.
the storage isn't the problem

I just bought the phone, it was used, I like the phone I'll try some fixes before returning it.
I cleared the cache and it's still lagging.
Yes it's lagging with the stock ROM I guess (all ASUS apps are installed in it), there is no other app but stock app installed in it, lagging isn't caused by my installed apps.
RAM always have 1.5 - 2 Gb free.
I guess it's a CPU is failing.
Thanks guys for the help.
If there is anything else I can do before returning the phone to the seller please advise me ? I kinda liked the phone and it was a good deal.
I think ASUS made some mistakes on their latest update : https://www.asus.com/zentalk/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=164682&extra=page=1&filter=&sid=1|8
Is there a way how to get back to an older version of Android 6 ?

you can "freeze" Asus' bloatware apps by following this guide and you don't need root to do it.

since your boot loader is locked, it's a little more difficult to downgrade. Try freezing the apps first. I believe you need to flash the recovery image from the firmware version you want to flash, then you can downgrade to the stock firmware. Its been a long time since in had a locked boot loader, lol
