Not sure what happened but after 4.5.10 I've had trouble with wifi across roms and opening apps just hangs so long. Search simple calendar in play store. It takes about 15 seconds to open. Running 4.5.12 now magisk + franco kernel. Getting pretty pissed about this. These updates do more bad than good lately.

Okay, this is getting ridiculous and im getting pissed. My N10 has been working without a hitch (and without a camera flash too) for the past 6 or 7 months since i got it but one thing that is happening now is getting very annoying is it just exits out of apps when the app is trying to load something...not exiting when the app itself is loading, but when the app is busy loading another task. Man im getting mad...so for example im on facebook the interface loads fine but when i start browsing pictures and an image is taking a few seconds to load and BAM, the program closes, another example i have the AOSP browser opened and im browsing the web, I type in a web address it starts to load, and BAM, closes, playing candy crush, it plays fine and then i try to ask for help from facebook and once it starts loading my friends and it does it again.i could go on and on. its happening on game apps, google apps its pissing me the heck off and it just started about a month ago. I have tried several roms thinking it was a memory leak somewhere or something for that matter and no luck. Ive tried trinity and KT kernels thinking the stock kernel was the culprit and still no dice. Ive even gone as far as to wipe out the whole device, everything to the fullest system format and reinstall a new stock image via wugs toolkit...still happening. Can anyone tell me why this is happening and is there a fix for this? Is anyone going through this crap too? The Dev forums have been quite lately but im sure this tablet still has very active users who can help because this is getting old. BTW I am running Purity latest rom with Franco kernel r12 just in case you need to know
Does this happen after you watch videos? For me, that's the only time..apparently the surface flinger eats up the RAM and hardly 20-30MB is left for other apps. So I guess the system starts force closing the apps. I don't think we have a permanent fix for this yet. However, the workaround I have applied is I disabled Chrome which is another RAM eater and since then this random force closing and even the random restarts problem seems to have been alleviated!
Another simpler option is to restart the tab whenever you feel it is starting to operate with a lag. Takes hardly 30 seconds And hope for Google to release the fix to the surface flinger issue with 4.3!

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.
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.
Just got this phone 2 days ago after years of nexus /pixel usage. Great phone but the camera freezes my phone about half the time. After launching the camera my phone will become nonresponsive and I'll will have to power cycle it to regain access. Stock rom, stock camera app. This also happens with ported Google pixel cam app.
I've tried factory resetting, clearing cache, and clearing program data several times. Is this an intermittent hardware issue? Should I just return or try exchanging it?
Exactly the same here. On two occasions the phone became responsive again after a few minutes but now is the second time it hangs and I'll have to wait for the battery to drain down.
Did you flash anything? I thought it might be because I flashed a custom kernel, rooted it with Magisk. But I guess not.
Happens on stock Camera app + Google pixel app.
rooted with magisk. everything else stock, stock kernel as well. I was able to force reboot it (vol up + power). but it happens pretty consistently with any carmera app
Same problem here after rooting with Magisk. I don't seem to have the problem with the open camera app.
My front camera is not even functional for me. I can even use face unlock as it says that another system app is using it. Also I can not even swap camera to the front facing camera. I called support and hope to hear something from them on it
I unrooted (flashed stock boot image in fastboot) and the camera freeze issue seems to go away... Pretty strange bug tho
Never realized how many ads there were until you stop using adaway
Try out Blokada! It's an open source ad blocker that uses a VPN to filter out ads instead of he hosts method that AdAway does. It doesn't require root.
I used AdAway for years, but finally switched to Blokada because it's a lot more convenient. You can enable and disable it on the fly and add things to the whitelist when you find pages you actually want to view are being blocked. As you may have noticed in your usage, when that would happen with AdAway, you'd have to figure it out and then reboot because Android doesn't reload the hosts until rebooted.
Please see my thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/help/camera-settings-crashes-t3865560
cool ill check it out... right now using vanced youtube and ms edge browser which has built in adblock. seems faster than chrome
you notice any battery drain from blokada?
I don't. Technically, running a VPN should cause _some_ amount of battery drain, but it seems negligible. My battery usage didn't noticeably change when I started using it.
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.
