Note 4 N910G 5.0.1 lag while updating apps - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all
I just love my Note 4 except for the touchwiz. But the problem
That i face always is that when I am updating apps from google
Play the phone gets very slow. The transition between homescreen
Jitters. Too much lag. The phone hangs for few seconds while
In any app for that instance. This amount of lag happens only
When the phone is updating its apps from play store.
Any help would be useful on this issue

[Q] Nexus 4 apps constantly crashing

Hi there,
I've had my Nexus 4 since android 4.2, and I've updated it all the way to 4.4.4 without any severe problems. However after upgrading to lollipop 5.0, I've been experiencing major app crashing. This app crashing is described as the app just randomly just closing itself without any warning. For YouTube once I'm playing a video the app seems like it randomly crashes, redraws the screen and pauses the video, once the play button is touched the video has to rebuffered.The launcher will also frequently have to redraw itself when returned back to it. Now I'm very well aware of the memory leaks found in lollipop, and thus I thought I would downgrade back to 4.4.4 until it is fixed. However the app crashing continues to occur in the same fashion (app randomly closes, launcher has to redraw etc). I've tried custom kit kat/lollipop roms, flashing system images (even all the way back to 4.4) and custom kernels but to no avail. The apps continue to crash no matter what I try.
I'm not sure if logcat extreme would be able to pick up on why the app is crashing, but I did record the log when the certain app crashes (in this case using the app stabilitytest v2.7 cpu+GPU stability test, instead of the app crashing to the launcher, it'd stop the stress test and return to the menu of the app). The first log is when the test crashes before it even gets a chance to begin (usually it takes around 3 mins to crash), 2nd log crashes in a few seconds around 01:55:52. The third takes about a minute to crash at around 2:02:42. The fourth involved me using Chrome for a bit, opening some big webpages, then going back to the launcher (which had to redraw) then opening clash of clans, which crashes in a few seconds (at which point I stop the log, so the crash should be towards the end of the log). I can submit more if needed. Keep in mind that this did not happen when I was on kit kat originally, this only occurred after I upgraded to lollipop. All the logs were taken on 4.4.4. Thanks for any help.

Apps Restarting

Ok. I've searched all over and have found a thread with a similar problem with no responses. I hope this gets some help. I have a Verizon G2, and ever since the Lollipop update, my battery life has been pretty awful (sometimes less than 2 hours of SOT in 8 hours of battery time), and the performance is horrendous at times. some apps (facebook Messenger especially) will stop when I am using them. No crash report. They just close out of nowhere. Nova Launcher redraws almost every time I hit my home button, sometimes my phone gets ridiculously hot. There are times when Android system restarts, and I lose the navbar and status bar, leaving my phone quite useless for a couple minutes. I do not have a task killer This all happened on 100%stock unrooted
I read something similar happened with the 5.0 release on nexus devices and was related to a memory leak. I have read in ROM threads that the G2 does not have this memory leak.
Things I have tried.
Frequent reboots - Hit or miss temporarily. Sometimes it would reboot into lag and restarting apps
Frequently clearing running apps - sometimes helped for a few hours or so
Factory reset-helped for a couple days
Rooting and installing xposed with the "lollipop Memory leak fix module"-maybe helped for a day? no significant change
Installed a XDABBEB's stock based ROM with TiBu and without =same result - butter for the first few days, but the apps restarting is always there. Then it gradually loses its smoothness and all the problems begin again.
Is this not a common issue? Anyone have any suggestions? I'm thinking of going CM, but I really like LG's floating apps and such. I'd rather stay with stock. They just seem to work better as well.
When it works, it is awesome. I don't think there is any reason to get a new phone as this one still has great hardware. I'm just frustrated. My phone always worked amazingly on kitkat, but Lollipop seems to have ruined it.

Memory leak, stutter

Hey, i am overall quite satisfied with my purchase buy i can't help noticing memory leakage. I run L 5.1.1 (ofc). Isn't androids' memory leak solved here? I don't remember my note 3 having such hard time keeping apps in memory. Re-opening G+, aftersome time (15 minutes or few apps after) leads to restarting apps. I mean when i multitask apps restart all the time. I switch to chrome and when I'm all about to scroll when i see page reloading. Ughh how annoying! Sometimes i even come back to empty wallpaper because Nova has to reload!
I hope MMwill fix that.
Besides, scrolling in Chrome is sometimes very choppy. Is it my device, or chrome? Using google play music can also be unpleasant.
Oh and let's not forget charging it 2 times a day on busy days...
P.ss: here, look at this. I had time to make a SS after nova had to reload...
Ok, so I've restarted the phone for the the first time after 5 days since i got it and i does feel snappier...

I personally restart my phone once a day. Keeps everything in check. Once I notice lag or redraws I reboot.

Some Strange Issues in Videos

After using Galaxy S4 (I9500GT) for almost an year with lollipop, I recently shifted to Note 3 (SM-N9000). As S4 was a perfect companion performance wise, even in Power-Saver, I was expecting Note 3 be atleast the same if not better. However, I am facing a few issues mentioned below:
In Multiwindow mode, the video sometimes lag when I focus on other application. Then I need to restart the phone.
Sometimes while in fullscreen, with no heavy app in background (I play no Asphalt or Modern Warfare), my video starts lagging heavily.
Sometimes there is a slight Audio/Video sync issue.
I do not know what to do. Power-Saver turned off-on-off several times, no positive results.
The same never happened in my S4
NOTE:
I keep on changing ROMs, but I always clear everything and this happened on stock which I flashed through ODIN with "Erase NAND" enabled. So this is always a fresh install.
Please help
Also guide me on one thing. As I have used Samsung for years, I now know which apps to safely disable. On TouchWiz-Lolly, I disable almost 50 apps on my Note 3(like I used to do on my S4). So it is quite lag-free overall(except videos). Now I am getting a SoT of around 6.5-7.5 hours with 30-50% brightness. Disable every useless TouchWiz feature like sensors
I do not use location frequently, and keep switching between WiFi and 2G(Yes, 2G).
Is this battery performance decent, or do I need any more tweaks?
Thank You So Much For Reading
I use nova launcher, its way faster then stock samsuck.
Disable all animation, they add lag.
Video-Use MXplayer with hard acc ON, and same for bsplayer.
Regarding app , you mean unckeck from startup( like msconfig on PC) or disabled from ALL/APP?
From all/app disable only crappware like: yahoo new, bloomberg or something.
On startup app you need to unckeck them, with android tuner. Disable all games, and apps that do not need them in memory ram.
Even my tegra 2 asus sl101 tablet get some lag on video , but with hardware acc ON is quite ok.
My n9005 with lollipop is identical with wife n9005( 4.3 android) except one: lollipop start videos faster, in any video app.
Disabled from All Apps

Using Google Maps last night = Extremely sluggish?!

I used Google maps last night, as usual when going to a new place, but this time my phone was extremely sluggish and almost non-responsive to when trying to use other apps while Google Maps was in use. It was literally taking 10-20 seconds to open apps (stock and 3rd party) and even my music was stuttering sometimes.
On At&t
Latest firmware with October security patch
I restarted it, but had the same issue on the way home.
Anyone else have this issue, or know what could be causing it?

You could try clearing the cache for Google Maps and if that doesn't help try clearing both the cache and data for Google Maps.
If that doesn't help either hit all apps on your home screen and close all background apps.
I don't have AT&T firmware which is fairly heavily modded by AT&T but you could have some corrupt data in the Google Maps app (which clearing the app cache and data should fix) or an app running in the background that is using too much memory.
The latter shouldn't be a problem on a $1000 flagship phone but last week my unlocked S10+ issued a pop up warning that my device was running out of memory and that I needed to close running background apps to avoid performance problems.
Samsung's One UI has way more garbage running in the background than MIUI, EMUI, Oxygen or stock Android. Prior to the S10+ I haven't owned a Samsung phone since back in the Galaxy 3 days but the Galaxy and Note phones developed a bad reputation for slowing down and becoming sluggish after 6-12 months of use.
That might be what's happening to you.
If nothing else helps a complete factory reset of your device and fresh install of your apps (rather than from a Google Cloud Backup) should make your phone run like new again.
If it doesn't then you might be experiencing a hardware problem that requires service.
