S10 Plus Really Slow after updates - Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers

I recently installed the latest 2 forced updates from AT&T and updated most of my apps. Now my phone is now really slow and I am unable to tell what is causing it.
How can I find out what is causing the Phone to be so slow and unresponsive? Battery use is good and not draining faster than normal. Guessing it has something to do with CPU usage, however with Google now blocking all app access to the CPU usage, not sure how to diagnose this. Thanks!

Have a look power mode is not on save mode...
If else clean the phone should sort the issue.

After the last AT&T update which brought me to ASIP, my phone has been a little buggy. I think AT&T is to blame. Why do these phones force updates anyway? You would think there would be a lawsuit going or something on that.

Power saver mode is not enabled.
After a reboot, the phone is fast and slowly degrades.
By clean the phone I assume you mean a factory reset?
Thanks!

From recovery mode try to wipe the cache

I would recommend that you follow these steps (in order):
Reset Accessibility
Reset Network Settings
Reset Settings
Phone will reboot and after that go to recovery mode (Vol Up+Bixby+Power) and clear cache.
When phone is restarted, wait 5 min. Then install Galaxy Labs and Install the App Booster module. Optimize apps using the App Booster. Reboot. Now see if these makes any difference.

Just go to recovery and clear cache will do

I did clear the cache after updating my apps. I tried it again yesterday and it did help some, although the Gmail app is still very sluggish.
@izephyr, I will try your suggestion if things dont improve soon. Thanks!

With Galaxy labs. It detects we did an update and will offer a full optimization per app. Called App booster. Takes a little bit of time but works.

I ended up turning off AT&T Mobile Network Diagnostics in Mobile Networks and this solved the phone slowness. Found that solution in another thread.
Thanks for the help!

I actually have the same issue after android 10 updates and I can't fix it. Already did a factory reset while on beta 6 and I don't want to do again if I'm not sure it will solve it. After a day it seems slowish, and I think it has something to do with the gpu. Apps that don't need it (like xda labs and other simple apps) are fine, but when I open camera, instagram stories or a game, sometimes it even becomes unresponsive.
I don't have myself that setting to test (mobile network diagnostics)

Phone showing signs of DEATH...anything I can do to stop the inevitable??? (i9000m)

i900m - Bell Mobility running j4k 2.2. The phone has been ok till day 6 after upgrade to 2.2. I was using the phone, and it just randomly vibrated...though I hit something by accident, then 10 mins later...again.
Then i was using google maps, and it vibrates once, then 5 seconds later it vibrates 3 times quickly, and force closes google maps. I have been reading about force closes as being a sign of the 'end'...is there ANYTHING i can do to extend the life a little in case samsung comes out with a quick fix sometime soon? Please help...i'm paranoid now all the time
You can also try a factory reset/clear all caches and more (through recovery menu) and perhaps even flashing a new rom.
I've had problems with force closes after flashing roms as well at times, but these steps helped often (just be sure to backup apps and data because these steps will delete/remove them)
a forc close means problems?? i just bought like 1 week ago and have force closes everyday from launchers games and such.. does it mean my phone is defective?
Probably just a phone software corruption, perform a factor data reset then reflash with partition.. should clean/fix everything.
Clear the phone completly (full factory reset)
In dialer type *2767*3855#
If problems still persist, you will need to flash a new rom.

thats exactly what i'm afraid of: a factory reset.
From what i've been reading about the Bell internal sd issues is that a lot of people experienced the dead internal sd when they rebooted their phones (caught in endless loop)...i'm afraid of ever turning the thing off now!
If you don't turn it off it will eventually freeze.
Your screwed either way,
at least if you turn it off now you may have a chance of saving it.
Just backup all your apps, data and settings. I use Titanium Backup.

i've been experiencing a couple of vibrate and FC's lately, really mean its dying? or just a couple of FC's means the app crashed
Not entirely on topic but:
From my own experience, force closes really don't mean anything. In my mind, a FC is like a good old win 98 program crash, it just happens from time to time. I wouldn't read anything into it unless it starts happening on a regular basis to decent apps.
(And even then, spotify for ex. is notorious for FC-ing. It's annoying, but not something thats fixable)
programs that may help
I have a galaxy s2 too so far noprobs as i havent done much with it just rooted stock rom and making my mind with what rom to try but if you go in market and search for as previous reply titanium backup, superuser, rom manager and the best app for deleting apps root explorer. One of these programms come wit a fix permissions option may help.

bad all around lag after 4.4.2 update

After taking 4.4.2 update last night phone has massive lag. All apps are affected. Have done factory reset, cleared cache, Uninstalled and disabled various things. No luck. Anybody else experiencing. Phone is not rooted.
I would factory reset everything. Start fresh without apps . I've noticed on 4.4.2 leak nc2 I had some lag if I froze some of the Verizon apps unfreeze them and had no issues after. Hope that helps only thing I turned off was caller ID but I'm rooted so factory reset is easier for me

Is this happening before all your apps restored, if you are restoring them? Or are they in the process of downloading and installing?

Thanks for the reply. After the update it ran its little app optimization process and then begin installing various updates. I assumed lag was normal then, but after several hours was still getting the lag. Last night the lag decreased before I went to sleep, but this morning it is back. I have developer mode active and I have the CPU process overlay and the one item I see spiking with high CPU usage is the the kernel process kworker. Did I get a bad dose of kernel?

The only thing I can think of is, if you want to try it, run a factory reset, do not restore any apps and see if things settle. It could be an app that is causing a conflict.
I know this may sound silly but take out your battery for about 30 seconds. I have this problem occasionally and when it occurs my phone is extremely hot. I have to shutdown... pull battery... and all is good until it happens again. Happens to me at least once a day.
Removed my Spigen s-view case and lag stopped almost immediately.

Same problem here. All around lag from typing to within app use, terrible slowness plagued my device. Removing s-view case removes all noticeable lag immediately. Using Spigen s-view case as well.

New software update makes the phone heat a lot

I just updated my phone to my latest software update and it started heating suddenly.
Any one of you facing this issue?
It did initially.... After couple of hrs it subsided

It would be ok to share more details on the update itself, phone, when was the update, for how long it is already heated, do you have an SD Card or not, a lot of files on the phone (Music, Photos, PDF's, documents)?...
It's probably the IndexService process running, or there is an app that causing the phone to over process and use the full power of the CPU. Let it alone for a couple of hours and see if there's a change. If not and you have an SD, remove it. If that doesn't work, delete all the files in the internal and on the SD card (WITHOUT FORMATTING! ONLY DELETING! ) and see if that solved the problem. If you have rolled all the options above, and non of them worked for you, you should search for an app that causes all of that. If no app was found, format the phone.
Good luck
Also, what carrier, and what update version? That would be useful info, if nothing else, to help others who are reading.
I'm in airplane mode. Used WiFi then turned off the WiFi and screen. Seems like an app must be freaking out and chewing up CPU cycles. Turn off the device for a bit and it is still hot for a little while, eventually starts cooling down though.
Kind of crazy...
Traveling without a local SIM, hence airplane mode toggling WiFi on/off. Too hard to recall what apps I was in/out of...
If I had root, could probably figure it out.......
That has happened to me once. I just turned it off and back one completely. And it was back to business as usual. Must be some bug.

[Solved] New High CPU Usage, Battery Drain, Overheating, etc.

Woke up this morning to my S7 Edge being extremely hot. I immediately took it off the charger because I thought the battery was maybe overheating, but it now appears to be a CPU usage issue. It will not go below 50% usage (often staying at 90-98%. The phone is continuously hot and battery drains ~1%/minute without usage. I have tried restarting the phone multiple times without change. Any suggestions would be welcome.
Update: the issue appears to stem from an Oculus automatic update. Uninstalling the Oculus app solves the issue. Read more here: https://goo.gl/Mt5FJy (thanks AVKillah)
High CPU and battery drain
I woke up to the same thing this morning. Phone running hot (processor-based problem, not the display or the charger). Have rebooted several times. It doesn't help. I can't find the offender app. Android processes are taking up most of the battery usage according to the battery monitor. This has never happened before.
Anyone have a fix?
Same here! Just late last night before bed.
The phone is running hot, lagging, keyboard constantly closes.
Trying to install anything hangs forever. Reboots and ram clears are not helping.
Haven't tried full cache wipe yet
Already tried full cache wipe through recovery. No change. Thinking about factory resetting but I have so many settings that would be wiped out...
Ultra power saving mode helped. Don't know if it's temp yet but at least while i was in it and for the moment since i just came out

Ultra power saving mode did help too. Booting in safe mode was also a solution for me, but you can't use any apps in safe mode so it's really pointless. It's also hard to narrow down the problem since I haven't downloaded an app in weeks and the only thing hogging resources is the android system.
I'm having a similar issue with performance and phone running hot. I am suspecting it is related to the PH1 update (noticed you have it as well). Device has been performing very poorly lately .
Factory reset has so far resolved the issue. May be related to PH1 update as I took that a couple days before this issue occurred. Will keep this thread updated if problems reappear.
So for the others affected is it all the same?
I havent taken any updates or changed my rom.
Nothing that changed that i can think.
Just that we all started experience this either this morning or before falling asleep?
I am having the same problem. It started this morning. I thought it was the copy of "Disconnect Pro Privacy and Performance" I got from the Galaxy App Store, but it persisted after uninstalling that. In the battery usage last when you select "Android System" it shows a list of the processes, and GearVR was on the top.
I tried to log in, but if forced an Oculus update which just hung on the install. I uninstaled all the VR stuff I had and froze the Gear VR Services app. That seems to be the culprit for me. It just kept trying to install an Oculus update that wouldn't go.
Phone is back to cool and normal battery drain so far. Will update if that changes.

Fun fact... I woke up this morning and because I hadn't disabled the "Gear VR SetupWizardStub" and "Gear VR Shell" as well they had auto-reinstalled Oculus and it, in turn reinstalled a bunch of VR apps. After re-uninstalling things again and freezing the last couple VR things my phone is continuing to run cool and with back to normal power drain levels.
Yeah apparently it is Oculus. Uninstalling mine.

Alas, that appears to be the issue. Unfortunately I factory reset my device before figuring this out. Probably needed a refresh anyways (probably not). Live and learn haha.

S8 on Android Oreo Battery Drain

Hello, I recently updated my S8 from Nougat to Oreo and I noticed a HUGE difference in battery life. I usually have a SoT of 4-5+ with heavy usage. But since the update, my battery would only last around 2 SoT more or less. I had already done a factory reset and turned off Bixby but my battery is still draining.
I've also heard some people said that the new update requires the phone to "settle" and store the cache so it can "get used to" my usage, with a minimum of 1 week (only had this update for 2 days). I'm not sure if that's true but I don't seem to have many options right now which is why I'm now open to any other suggestions and if all suggestions are done and draining still persist, I might have to roll back to Nougat. Thank you.
Try disabling bixby apps. It helped to a lot of users (not me)

I've already done that, still draining.
you have to master reset, after a major update it's always good to factory reset

S8 Oreo Battery Drain
Good Afternoon,
The 3 phone services to disable the background activity has worked a bit but my battery is still draining pretty good... is there any other services I can check to see if the background activity is being used somewhere else?
Simply flash Nougat & enjoy your device .

nah.. samsung should care more about the battery draining
This is completely out of left field, but if you have Allo installed, make sure it isn't using your camera too hard. A week before I upgraded to Oreo I found that one day Allo had used my camera for 46 minutes, even though app foreground time was like 15 minutes and I hadn't launched the camera in Allo at all that day. My solution was to revoke the Camera permission for Allo and that seemed to take care of it.
Unfortunately I just got the Oreo upgrade, Allo still isn't allowed to use camera and I'm getting roughly half my normal battery life anyway as well, haven't been able to determine what else it could be yet.
Whelp, bad news, I did a factory reset and that totally fixed my battery I think! So, great for me, my phone is back to normal, but not a useful data point for you unfortunately.
I don't understand why all these "adjustments" need to be made after a version "upgrade". "I'm the latest and greatest version! I'm going to set things in your phone that eat up your battery!" WHY??
Everything was fine after the Oreo update, but I can barely get through a full day without changing. The main issue seems to be Android system.
Disable all smart locks if enabled like Voice recognition, location locks etc., It will definitely drain battery if enabled.
