PLEASE HELP!
My Vzw G2 home key lags, I press it, and sometimes it stays pressed, then it goes to my home screen, when I try to open recent apps, I almost have to hold it down for 5 seconds for the window to appear. I woke up this morning, checked my storage and it said 455mb free (originally I had 19gb free) then I cleared cache, the cache said something like 19gb+. Got my storage back, but I just checked again a while ago and my cache was at 2.5gb.
I'm fairly new to rooting and such, but anyways, last night, my phone was absolutely fine, but my battery seemed to be dieing on its own, so I decided to "recalibrate" it by killing it completely and fully charging it, so I killed the phone, and put it to charge when I went to bed, woke up 5 hours later, and it was at 66% shut it off, started charging it, went back to sleep, woke up in 2 hours and was at 98%, then I waited for a bit for it to reach 100%, that fixed the problem, it charges normally now and dies as fast as it used to. So I unlocked the phone, and started using it, and I notice my home key is extremely laggy, I press it, it stays pressed, then goes to the home screen 3-5 seconds later, it does it frequently, the pressing animation for it seem to lose frame rate too, all other nav bar keys are fine. Then I check my storage, and It says 455mb availible, I originally had 19gb the day before, my cache was at 19gb+ so I cleared it, and then 7 hours later, the cache is at 2.5gigs again. So I cleared it just 20 minutes ago, and its at 610mb now. Does anyone know what's going on? Please help me, these problems literally came overnight, the day before I hadn't installed any tweaks besides xstana to mod my nav bar, which didn't cause any kind of lag for the 8-9 hours I used it. Another thing it was doing this morning was that it does is that it keeps underclocking itself to 1.9 or 1.7ghz, why does it keep doing that? Does anyone have any idea on what to do? What would you do? PLEASE HELP I've been trouble shooting this all day and haven't been able to find a similar thread.
How many backups did you make? The nav mod is probably causing your lag.

Backups of what? Doesn't really matter though I haven't made any back ups of anything.
Also I removed the nav bar mod several times, it still lags.
Fixed (kinda)
So I gave up and just reset my phone. I just finished setting up the entire phone again with all the mods/tweaks I had before, and everything works now, cache doesn't seem to fill up on it's own anymore, battery life is still normal, home keys are responsive again, BUT it still keeps underlocking itself to 1.9 or 1.7ghz, anyone have any idea what's going on? I had a fix for it earlier with an app that would set my cpu freq one every boot up but that doesn't seem to work anymore. I think I'm gunna leave this thread up because I haven't seen any other threads on cache filling, and home key unresponsiveness.
Edit: I take that back, the cache data is still filling my storage, I just cleared 10gb of cache data. Can someone PLEASE tell me why this happens? Or if there is some way to set a limit to cache data?
I tried posting this in the Sprint thread but haven't gotten any answers yet so perhaps I'll have better luck here. I pasted both posts to show the initial problem and what I did (essentially I factory reset). I'm still having the same problem where my phone will freeze while I'm charging it (about 2-3 times/week) requiring a battery pull. Anybody else seeing this problem or have suggestions on what I should try? Thanks.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Twice this week my alarm didn't go off (luckily I set a backup today) because sometime throughout the night something happened. When I woke up the phone was frozen on the yellow Sprint Spark startup screen. I needed to pull the battery and everything started up fine. I updated to Lollipop about 2 weeks ago which is where I'm guessing the issues stem from.
Is there anything I should try other than restoring to factory and starting over? I'd prefer to not have to wipe everything from my phone but these issues are becoming problematic. I am not rooted.
Thanks.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
So I ended up doing a factory reset and while the phone certainly started running faster with better battery performance after the reset I'm still having this issue. I would say it occurs 2-3 times a week. It has only occurred overnight which is typically when I charge my phone so I'm pretty sure it is related to being left connected to the charger. The majority of the times I will wake up with a dim yellow Sprint screen and everything else frozen though occasionally the screen will be black with the led notification light red. In both situations the screen will not respond to any button pushes or holds and I need to pull the battery and then everything will start up fine.
Does anybody have any suggestions here on what I should do? I guess I can try and restore one more time and see but I don't really know why it would be different and it is certainly a pain to keep restoring the phone and losing all my settings. I definitely don't want to root now since I believe that voids the warranty and if I can't figure anything out with this I'll certainly be requesting a new phone from Sprint. Before I start dealing with Sprint though I thought I would check here first. Through all my searches on the internet I haven't seen anyone else complaining about this problem.
Thanks.

Hi there. I have a Canadian Note 4 (W8) with Bell, and I am having identical issues.
While charging over night, I find my phone stuck on "Samsung" logo, with the bubble animal still running. Holding down the power button does nothing and the only work around is the battery pull. I noticed that it also gets warm (assuming from the screen on time?)
First tried cache wipe - no fix
Factory reset - no fix
Cache wipe again - no fix
Aaaand today I came into work late

Did your issues first start after you upgraded to lollipop?

Definitely after the upgrade.
While on KitKat, it never happened (1 month ownership). But after upgrading to lollipop, it has happened 4 times (6 nights since lollipop).
Have you figured anything out with your situation? Woke up this morning to my backup alarm and the Yellow Sprint screen on my phone.
I guess I'll have to try another factory reset and if it still happens try and get a replacement. It just doesn't seem widespread enough of an issue to be a software bug with 5.0.1.
Very frustrated. I did another factory reset but the issue still plagues my device. It still only occurs once or twice a week but when I hear my old clock radio alarm in the morning I know when I look over I'll see the yellow frozen Sprint Spark screen. I am completely out of ideas and guess I will need to have it replaced under warranty. I'm hoping Sprint won't give me a hard time as this will be very hard to demonstrate.
It definitely appears to be a software issue as it never happened before I upgraded to Lollipop but there must be more to it or others would be complaining.
If anybody has ideas please let me know. Thanks.
Response to Note 4 Freeezing while charging
I have found that after turning the quick charge feature off the problem is not happening. Hopefully this is fixed in 5.1
I'm having the same issue even after turning quick charge off..def a lollipop bug, never experienced this on kk.
I know its not the BEST option, but after taking the update to lollipop, sometimes left over kitkat files can make the system poop out. Sometimes a factory reset will take care of the leftovers. But of course, then you have to set your phone up again
If you've tried this or plan to to, let us know the results.
(When i first took the update, my heartrate monitor sensor was always on, so i did a factory reset and it fixed my problem).
Solved with workaround!!!
I faced this "sleep of death" too after updating to Lollipop. I had to pull out the battery almost every time after charging. Very annoying! I noticed though that my phone never froze in my car while charging. Thinking about the difference I realised that I keep my phone awake in the car while charging using Macrodroid (which I love anyway to automise all kinds of things). I made a simple macro which keeps my phone awake while charging and another one that returns the phone to normal while on battery.
While charging: Trigger: Power Connected; Actions: Keep Device Awake enabled & Screen Off, Constraints: None
On Battery: Trigger: Power Disconnected; Actions: Keep Device Awake disabled & Screen Off, Constraints: None
Off course there are alternatives available to Macrodroid that should be able to do the same.
My problems are solved, with and without fast charging. I hope this will help some of you as well.
same problem here
Ive tried turning off fast charging option on the powersaving mode
And also tried the option on developer mode, the "keep device awake while charging"
And even flashing dofferent firmwares from sammobile through ODIN and installed custom roms. These options doesnt resolve the issues on freezing while charging..
I think turnong off your device while charging is the only option..
Im using note4 N910C..

Thanks a lot, Mate. I'm trying your workaround now. Will report later if it works on my phone. BTW, so, are you sure it is a just a system issue? Definitely, isn't a hardware problem? Did you fix it, after your post -a month ago-, installing, for example, lollipop 5.1.1 or Cyanogenmod 12.1? I'm on 5.0.1, SimpleRom V4. Of course, mi device, N910C, is rooted.
Thanks again.
With lollipop 5.1.1 the problem is solved for me, even without this workaround.

I'm having similar issues as you guys. I found out that my phone will only perform normally when I charge it with my laptop USB port which I think is around 0.5amps. Anything above that, even a 1amp charger would cause the phone to freeze, reboot and turn off and not turn back on. The phone has been in repair 4 times and the problem is still there. Now every night I'm forced to charge my phone with my laptop which takes an age instead of the fast charger that came out of the box.
Currently my phone is still freezing and rebooting when I'm out and about and the only way I can get it to perform normally is when I plug it into my laptop. This normal functioning would only last whilst the phone is plugged in.
My experience with my S7 has been great so far. However, a couple days ago it did something odd. Whenever I plugged it into my PC with any cable it behaved as if the recent apps button had been pressed randomly. Sometimes fast, others slow and inconsistently. I went into recovery and wiped the cache and then went in and deleted a few more recently installed apps. I also used ES Explorers cleaning function and everything has been fine since. Then today I rebooted it and the first screen showed your typical rooted device screen with "Custom" and the unlocked symbol before going on to load everything else. I've tried rebooting it a few times to get photographic evidence of what had shown up but it hasn't done it since.
What is going on with this phone? Is it compromised? Perhaps I just need to do a full wipe and reset?
I have similar sporadic issue on my 935F, even when my finger far away from "recent apps" button, no a single clue why. Now trying edge option turned off, perhaps this what ghosts it.

I do not know whether it is coincidence, but I updated couple of days ago and all of sudden, starting this morning, the Android system is draining battery at alarming rate. It does appear that this happens only when I am on cellular network and not on wifi.
I have been off the charger about 2 hours and my battery is down to about 50% already.
The phone is running very hot. (I took it out of the case) It does not appear that turning off cellular data affects this at all.
Rebooted the phone couple of times to no avail, at this point, I am considering factory reset of the phone, but would like to get some opinions on what may be the cause.
I saw the thread on the "android system battery drain", but this does not appear to be related to what majority of people are reporting as this slows down the phone significantly enough that the phone is almost unusable at this point.
Cleared cache but don't think is helping. That said, when I was trying to get to the recovery, the system said "Installing update" and then "No command", before getting me to the cache, I am wondering whether the "update" did not clean up itself...
Thanks.
EDIT: Looks like the system cache clearing did help after all.... System appear to be working normally now. Will have to see..
Ok, well, back to the drawing board. The phone behaved ok all day long. Came home, I did 2 things, turn on wifi, and then turned on bluetooth to test out a headphone and then shut off the bluetooth. High battery drain again. Phone got hot and everything is VERY sluggish.
Shut down, cleared the cache again. Will see what happened.
Is there a way to go BACK to previous stock ROM WITHOUT factory reset?
Found out the issue, it was Oculus update which caused the issue. Looks like the bug caused the "Oculus Room" to install it self over and over again. I manually ran the Oculus home app, and it prompted me to update, which I did and it appear to have fixed the issue.
Flash your decice with version from sammobile.com
I have this exact same problem, posted about it yesterday but had no help.
I don't have Oculus on my phone though. But phone behaves for a most of the day, then does as the OP describes, still cant see why, but its only since the update.
Steve
and i am not talking about the 1-2 second wake time i see mentioned elsewhere online, talking 20 or 25 seconds. Had my galaxy s7 edge for a month, and about 2 days in it started lagging to wake up and has progressively gotten worse.
When i get a text, i hear it beep, i look at the phone and have to wait 20 seconds before the screen lights up and shows the notification. If i pick my phone up and hit the button, I have literally counted to 25sec before it come to life. Very annoying when you are trying to take a photo of something, or have to look something up.
I have turned off all animations, disabled SVoice, no help.. (i just hit it and counted 'one thousand, two thousand, three thousand, four thousand, five... and it came on).
Plus if you hit power button 2x, it will wait 5 seconds, and then come on, and immediately turn off. when i hit power again, it will come on within a second.
Anyone else having this issue? its rather annoying.
- no hacks, no roms, nothing special, very few apps.
ALSO Auto brightness won't work and Direct call...smart alert and all the other s7 features
Already made a reset and called samsung services but none is fixed the problem
Update: Yesterday i don't know how it's fixed and the phone worked fine but when i played music and turned volume up and locked the phone it starts lagging
Help me out with this please
Mine too...... following

hmmmmmm well there are two options. you can hope that it`s a software issue and do a hard wipe of everything by flashing new software with odin or maybe you could try a custom rom because they tend to work better than the actually software made by the carriers, and if that doesnt work then it is for sure a hardware issue in which well no bueno
any other help please
remove your micro sd card and phone will be fine
i don't have an SD card and i've never put one in it
Have you tried clearing the phone cache
Factory reset and delete cache in recovery , if it didnt fixed then last option is reflashing original rom by odin , and if still these issues persist , then its a hardware issue for sure. If you are still in warranty , send it in for a repair or replacement.
all the sensors are not working now exept fingerprint ... I cleared the cache but i didn't reflashed the phone with odin
How's this issue? Was it fixed?
I have the same issue... it states to happen after I dropped my phone in water...
