I have been experiencing a very annoying issue with my moto g5+. Every time I enter the Google search app (swipe right on home screen, tap search bar, enter from recent menu, etc.) there is about a 5-10 second delay where the entire app will freeze. The app will become completely unresponsive, and after the 5-10 seconds everything I've been doing will happen all at once, like typing or scrolling.
This issue is very annoying, and perplexing to me as everything else with the phone is buttery smooth. If I initiate a search from Chrome instead of Google app, I have no issues. This issue has cropped up for me right around the time I downloaded the US OTA security patch, but this could be coincidental.
Has anyone else experienced this? Anyone have any ideas of how to fix it? So far, I have tried clearing cache in recovery menu with no avail. Phone is stock US non-Amazon without rooting or unlocked bootloader.
I have experienced the same issue. Same phone and rom. Are you using an SD card as adopted memory? I haven't yet tried removing mine to see if that could be a factor.
Same here. I had it a couple months ago and then something recently caused it to reappear. I thought maybe a system update had resolved this but it came back again this weekend. I don't have an SD card at all.
Most success I found from clearing cache+data from the Launcher3 system app then restarting the phone. Settings --> Apps --> Show System. You lose your app icon placement but it immediately sped up the Google app.

Hey,
I pulled GenieWidget from a CM install, and it installed and loaded up fine on my vibrant. For some strange reason, it now doesnt load up any of the news stories. You can load up the news headline reader with the widget, but click on any story and it never loads, never ending loading screen.
Anyone else having issues w/ GenieWidget or the news reader?
Thanks!
Yeah I have similar issues and a lot of freezing & force closes. I usually go to the app in the menu to refresh rather than the widget because 9 times out of 10 the widget will get stuck loading. But if I go to the app it works 1/2 the time & updates the widget. For now I scrapped it mainly because it made my phone boot super slow and most of the time it was just "loading".
Thats very similar to what I am getting, but I dont know what app to use instead. I loved the News and Weather widget
Mine loads the app fine, but has MAJOR issues loading the articles. It either takes forever to load the article (~20-30 seconds) or it just loads forever and never pulls up the article.
Tried uninstall\reinstall, cleared cache for the app, enabled all locations settings, all w/o any luck.
Restoring back to yesterday using ROM manager seemed to fix the issue temporarily, but it came back fairly quickly.
Anyone else w/ experience or a suggestion?
THanks
Yeah I have the same problem too. That screen seems to be universal so it might be related to something else.
I have the Verizon model, and the following things happen on occasion with the App Switcher/Recent Apps (normally gotten to by long-pressing the Home softkey):
1. The Recent Apps screen does not appear at all.
2. If the Recent Apps screen does appear, it does not have all the apps listed that I know are open.
Anyone else experiencing this strange behavior? This has been this way since I got the device the day after it was released, and obviously was not resolved in the first OTA.
FYI: A reboot does not fix it.
If anyone out there has any ideas how to fix it, I'm all ears.
Thanks!
Hi All,
Just wondering if anyone else has seen this problem or knows of a fix:
At random times with no intervention, the application info page appears for a (random) app with the force stop dialog in front of it asking me if I want to force stop an app. If I hit cancel it does the same thing again for a different app. It goes through many different apps in an apparently random order and then stops (also for no apparent reason). My phone is unrooted running stock ROM. I have tried many things including clearing the System and App caches changing launcher (I normally use Nova launcher) removing memory card but nothing seems to help.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks for your help,
Jonathan
Did you use package disabler?
Yes I have package disabler installed. It doesn't seem to make much difference whether all apps are enabled not.
Recently I am having notification delays with my S7 Edge G935F. I have read through some posts on this forum and other sources and can't figure it out.
Here are some of the problems:
1. notifications are often delayed for more than thirty minutes
2. if I want to manually check notification when it does not pop up, unlocking the screen does not make the notification show, I have to actually launch the specific app to see the notification
3. It is more than just not showing the notification, when I am using some instant messaging apps (like WeChat), I can't see new messages coming in while the app is running in the front. I have to press the home button and get back to home screen, then re-enter the app, then the messages show up. This happens to many other apps as well.
4. Other things go wrong as well. For example, my Android Auto was set to launch whenever I get into my car and car bluetooth is connected. It is also delayed, by more than hours. It often launches long after I finish my driving and get back home sitting on my couch.
5. Downloading new apps from Play Store has problems as well. It downloads to 100% and just stops there, it does not start installation. I have to use Settings->App to kill Play Store and re-open it to "refresh" it, then it starts to install.
6. After installation of new app, it does not show up on my screen or app draw inside my launcher. I can see the app installed in Play Store. I have to kill launcher and re-open the launcher to make it "refresh" the app list then I can see new app inside the app draw.
I have also tried a lot of ways to fix it:
1. change app to not battery optimized -> didn't fix it
2. update firmware -> didn't fix it
3. factory reset -> works for the first day then it goes wrong again
4. flash to a different firmware (official ROM in different regions) -> works for the first day then it goes wrong again
5. use third-party ROM (Lineage OS) -> completely fix the problem, but too buggy to use
I can see the general idea of what's going wrong, some events happened (connected to car Bluetooth, new messages coming, app finished downloading, new app installed, etc.) and the system is not responding correctly. I am not very familiar with Android development but I feel like something is wrong with the "event handling" or "event raising" inside Samsung's Android system.
Please post reply if you have any idea or are facing the similar problems.
EDIT:
The phone is on Android 7.0, Build Number NRD90M.G935FXXU1DQER
You've stated that flashing the custom ROM solved the problem, so maybe you should try flashing a different rom that's a bit more stable.
From personal experience i can recommend the SuperStock rom. It's stock (obviously) and it's debloated and very stable with pretty good battery life as far as i remember.
there is some info about it here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/want-to-root-custom-one-stay-stock-t3631098?styleid=18 (ignore the root part).
Hi,
did you find any solution to this problem ? cause i got the same problem, and i'm going crazy... few months already and can't figure out what is the problem...
the temporary fix i've found is disabling the "google app" in application manager... it fix the problem but i can't use any Google app features (and i like using them...).
I've found few ppl experiencing the same problem searching on internet but no one with a real fix...
if someone more experienced can help debut this it would really mean a lot...
I think it is the battery optimization setting. You may check the settings>battery>advanced settings>optimize apps. You need to keep the apps un-optimized if you want the notifications and sync.
Also, you may check if Sync is on or off.
If these two does not solve, factory reset if you are on stock ROM. If on a custom ROM, you may check a different ROM
Hi,
Thanks for your reply. Actually none of this works... The only thing that "fixes" the issue is disabling the Google app in the application manager... That's why its so weird...
The problem started around July/August 2017 for me...
As i discovered that disabling Google was fixing the problem, i assumed that they'll correct it by updating the app... But only one update of the app was ok, all others would make the problems reappear...
Messing with battery optimization settings doesn't change anything for me... Factory reset as well... The problem comes back as soon as the google app gets updated...
Try clearing cache and deleting data from the Google app the time the problem occurs
already tried... doesn't help at all...
Please, is there any one faced this issue
Clear all the apps from recent--> Open google chrome --> make some browsing --> close the chrome --> the phone will freeze for 3 seconds

This is not a new issue i faced this from the first, all oos updates not fixing it, and i format factory the device and re-flashed the original frameware and i faced the same issue. And the (Background restriction) does not change anything
Any one can help?
I have had the odd freeze in the past and if I remember right one time it was after using chrome.
On beta 3 now,not having any issues,
you should report this to the OnePlus via feedback , especially if you can replicate it like that,they are very interested in fixing such bugs
