My Galaxy S7 (SM-G930V) Running Baseband APD2 on Android 6.0.1 Has had issues with Multiple Applications Constantly Crashing, On Nebulous it takes me back to the home screen randomly, and on youtube videos they randomly close. I've tried clearing the cache from the recovery and storage. I haven't rommed/rooted my phone either. Could anyone try explaining why this happens? Its super annoying because I just Transferred from a iPhone 5S. I have had the phone for about two months and this is a wonderful welcome back to android... I am trying to avoid a factory reset but it I have to I will, but I'd Prefer that that doesn't happen.

Just got the s5 phone about a month ago and it restarted on it's own out of no where while viewing a you tube video..
Another issue is when on you tube it's very hard to scroll in videos is this normal? I also notice a bit of lag while using messaging or scrolling a website is this normal?

Have you tried clearing the YouTube app data in settings/apps/all apps? Or clear the caches in recovery? Or else data factory reset or if that doesn`t help reflash the stock rom with Odin.
Unfortunately you didn't give us much information to go on. For instance you didn't say if your phone restarted just the once or how often, if it is recurring. It's hardly worth worrying about a one time glitch if it doesn't repeat.
The first thing to try to solve a persistent restart issue is as was already suggested, try clearing the cache and data for the app in the settings menu application manager. And then boot to recovery mode and wipe the cache there too. Past that, you can try reinstalling the app or starting in safe mode to narrow down the cause. You are essentially trying to narrow down the possibilities and watch for any pattern in what might be causing the issue.
If you are sensitive to lag, then search for some posts about debloating your phone or installing a custom ROM that is better optimized. It's all of the superfluous Samsung junk and carrier apps that cause most of the lag.

HI guys, this is my first post on this forum, so forgive me if I put this thread in the wrong category. I heard you guys where the best when it came to Android, so I was hoping you could help me with my predicament.
I currently have a Samsung Galaxy S5 (SM-G900H) and this is my first android phone. I've had for over a year now, I got it sometime in June last year.
I updated my phone to Lollipop 5.0 about 3 months ago, and ever since there's been an aspect of my phone that's been faulty. The Samsung keyboard. My keyboard crashes at least once day, every day and it drives me crazy cause I prefer the default keyboard to the others I've downloaded such as the Google keyboard. It began to crash right after the Lollipop update. It usually crashes whenever I switch to emojis. (especially when I'm in the middle of typing a tweet) It freezes then the message "Samsung keyboard has stopped working" pops up on the screen. During my hunt for a fix, I came across clearing the cache and the data of the keyboard and wiping the phone's cache from the recovery menu. So far they've worked and my keyboard hasn't crashed again... I also came across performing a factory reset, which I read fixes most issues after a software update. It's the idea of performing a factory reset that has brought me here. I have some questions about performing a factory reset and I'd greatly appreciate it if you could give me some answers.
1. What's the best method of performing a factory reset? How is it done?
2. If I perform a factory reset, will the software on my phone be taken back to KitKat 4.4.2? (That was the version my phone shipped with)
3. I know backing up my data is gonna be the first and most important step. Is there an app or software than I can use for that? I was thinking of using Samsung Kies 3. I'd also love to be able to backup my app data, like for example my Asphalt 8 progress and restore it at a later time? Is it possible?
4. These past few days, I've noticed my battery life has been running down faster than usual. Could a factory reset help with that? I read it could help fix that. Although the battery may be weak due to the fact that I've had the phone for over a year now, and I'd consider myself a medium-heavy user; I plan on getting a replacement soon though.
5. Will a factory reset permanently fix the keyboard? (In-case it starts acting up again)
By the way, my phone is not rooted.
Thank you for your time and help. I will be expecting replies. All help, tips & tricks will be fully appreciated.
I've had my Note 4 for over a year now, and just the other day it started becoming unusable. I had noticed some minor lags here and there, and apps would sometimes freeze and force close. I then decided to disable some built in apps like Facebook. The phone was running much faster for a couple of days, and then suddenly went to hell. It started lagging very badly, freezing up to the point I'd have to pull the battery. It will often randomly reboot, and occasionally boot loops a few times before successfully rebooting. I've tried everything I can think of so far, I enabled the apps I originally disabled, wiped the cache partition, did multiple factory resets, and today got a brand new battery. None of these things seem to work. It will run fine for a few minutes if it's been off a while, but then starts lagging pretty quickly. I also had pulled the SD card before, but didn't notice any difference there. However, I did just notice that it seems to run completely fine without the SIM card in it. I have my SIM in my old S4 right now, and I popped it back in the Note thinking the battery fixed it, but it started freezing up again. I powered down the phone, pulled the SIM card, and powered it back up. I've been loading all of my apps on the Note no problem now over wifi (no problems so far). The SIM and SD cards are in my S4 and that runs completely fine. Is it possible that the SIM is causing an issue in only the Note? I'm out of ideas at this point and hoping that someone has some suggestions. Thanks!
Phone reboots whenever I click on Stories in Instagam app.
Tried rebooting, clearing data, disabling and then updating the app but nothing seems to be working.
I'm on S7 Edge Exynos with a 64GB card, not rooted.
Any solution would be appreciated.

I am having the same problem! It's driving me nuts.
Stories worked for the first couple days after it came out, but now my phone restarts the moment I click on any story. I think the problem began after my phone received an update overnight. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Instagram--nothing.

Since about July 2017 my G-900v has gone bad and gets stuck on the Verizon loading screen. I am talking this has been at least 4 times. This last time yesterday a factory reset would not get it going again and I had to find a firmware (G900VVRS2DQA1_G900VVZW2DQA1_G900VVRS2DQA1_HOME) and load that with Odin. Admittedly it really seems to be working better than before and I think it was running the previous firmware when it was freezing up. Was there known issues with the other firmware? I am not certain what the build version was.
I have 2 batteries and have tried both during the freeze up. Neither make a difference. And the freeze up always happens at night during charging. After the update earlier this year it was prone to sudden reboots and applications stopped working errors. Also the emoji icons had stopped working and would cause keyboard crashes on all keyboard apps. Can having a large amount of photos saved on the SD card lead to such issues?
What is the best known way to back up and restore my handset if this continues to happen? I am tired of having to DL and customize my apps every time this happens.

What default apps should I disable?
Thanks for any help or insight on this.
Do you have the link to the firmware you used? Mine is stuck on the Verizon logo screen after doing a factory reset and I want to flash a good stock firmware on it via Odin.
Pretty sure it was from here.

I followed the guide here http://www.**********.com/install-stock-android-6-0-1-marshmallow-on-verizon-galaxy-s5-sm-g900v/
There WERE bugs in the Samsung keyboard back in the day, that have supposedly been patched up in recent times. Depending on the age of the installed firmware, it could be an issue.
