I don't know if this is related to upgrading to Lollipop, but I am having graphics issues trying to play games on my Nexus 5.
Whenever I try to play a game, my phone works for a bit (maybe 15- 60 seconds) and then freezes. The only way I can get out is by dragging the status bar from the top to get access to my menu. If sound is on, you can hear the game still executing in the background but the graphics are frozen.
Also, my Maps seems to break about 30 seconds in as well. Navigation is completely useless and frozen, but I can still hear the voice directions and the GPS is still working.
Does anyone else have these issues? My phone has been unlocked and running custom roms until Lollipop, I am running stock now. Maybe my installation got corrupted? Should I just reinstall fresh?

Does your phone heat up? My initial theory was thermal throttling.

Hello,
I have been struggling with this issue forever. I am using my Google nav app and all of a sudden it freezes barely updating with CPU @100%. I have tried different options using 3g instead of 4g, not using bluetooth, not starting nav when CPU is busy nothing has worked. All of a sudden either at the start or during a navigation session the CPU will go up to 100% and the app will stop updating and if I am driving I left without directions until I reboot. Huge headache. I used different system monitors like 'WatchDog Lite' and 'System Tuner' and those apps say that the most CPU consuming process during that time period is 'Android System Process'. I have no clue as to what 'Android System Process' is doing during that period of time except it is taking a large amount of CPU.
Only option left is to overclock, upgrade to a faster CPU from Verizon or go to Apple IPhone
That's strange, I used the navigation all the time without a problem, besides slow locks. Have you tried clearing the app data, sounds like its the app itself misbehaving.

I haven't had an issue like that and its definitely abnormal. Have you tried installing a ROM like Tweaked or a kernel like PBJ?

I had the same problem before I rooted and installed my first ROM. No problems since then. Recommend you root, install Tweeked or Eclipse and PBJ, also don't undervolt too much. You're headache should stop. I haven't had that happen to me in long long time. I'm a truckdriver and use the maps quite often.

I had the same problem star up all of a sudden a month or two ago. Google maps would just close by itself, and nav would freeze while driving. While messing around one day, I ended up having to wipe my phone and ODIN stock, re root, and put Tweaked 2.1 ROM on it again, and restore all my backed up apps. To my pleasant surprise Google maps and nav are working flawlessly now.

I have been partially able to fix the problem. One I downloaded Copilot Live as a navigation app which uses offline maps instead of downloading maps on the fly like google nav. However, still my phone used to lag close to 20-30 seconds when I would go to my home screen and similarly when I went to my application lists. I was using Seepu so I could see that my CPU was at 100% all the time. This led me to believe that there might be an issue with my SDCard and hence I downloaded sdbooster https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mehrmann.sdbooster&hl=en .
I saw an amazing performance improvement after I set the cache size to 8192 mb and the lags all but disappeared. However, still when I am on my home screen it sometimes lags 5 seconds which is still infuriating. What the heck is it doing, is it reading apps from the disk?
I seem to have really strange issues with this phone.
I've tried both C-Rom and Cyanogen and both of them have these same issues.
When I first turn on the phone, it will run, but everything will stutter around at about 1-2 fps for about 2 minutes. I can confirm that this happens even with no 3rd party apps installed.
Secondly, half the time when I go to grab the phone and just check notifications and so on, I'll unlock it and try to press something and it'll be frozen. I have to wait about 2 minutes before I can do anything else on it. The only thing I can do in this time is lock the screen, but not unlock it. I can tell it frozen at a low level because I have a system setting in C-Rom to play a sound when the battery dis/reconnected and that doesn't play while it's in this state. Has anyone else been experiencing this? I've already completely wiped the phone completely once using the return to stock guide and these issues have not been resolved.
Had the same problem with stock ROM or tried with GPE? Might be a hardware problem...

Are you still having these issues or did you find a fix for them? I have the Boost Mobile one, but are you suggesting that I could/should put the GPE ROM on here?
Isn't this a memory usage ( ram ) problem that's been mentioned?

The first part (FPS issue) happens to me, whe the phone boots, the FPS go down, bad, but the phone works ok, if i put the stopwatch app (CM11) time runs normally but the screen refreshes every half second or more.
Now, the second problem, about the phone freezing whan it wakes up, never happened to me, but i have to recognize that i had a few (2 or 3) reboots just when i waked up the phone and one time it just freezed with the screen off.
Hi, as the title says my Verizon galaxy S6 128 GB is slow, I mean when using finger print sensor the phone almost always takes 3-5 sec to unlock, double press home button for camera takes up to 5 sec to open the camera, when i open the game clash of clans and leave it in memory before locking the phone then the phone takes up to 8 sec to unlock. i can't run milk music because makes my phone so laggy that becomes unusable. fingerprint sensor not always recognizes my finger first attempt, when playing any game i have to wait a couple of seconds after the game loaded before playing because the phone would not recognize my touches. i just want to know if somebody else is experiencing this. i am running Cleanrom 1.5 with like 90GB free storage. is this normal on this phone, is it the rom?
Did you have all of these problems with the stock firmware? I'm gonna bet not. If it runs fine on the stock firmware, it ain't the phone.

Curious, but do you keep a log of what changes you make, what apps you add, configuration changes and note when you started seeing this lag?
I would not expect the phone to behave like that unless you made changes or loaded something which is causing the issue.
i rooted and flashed cleanrom just after getting the phone because i rely on tether, i didn't even try the stock firmware. i really do not install a lot of apps. only google apps and two games clash of clans and heartstone, as per root apps: root explorer, greenify, pryfi, titanium backup, cerberus and servicely, no themes, launcher is nova launcher

So how do you know you didn't get bad hardware to start with? You should do at least basic tests with the phone to make sure you don't have hardware issues before making a bunch of changes. You no longer have the device which you bought.
You basically made it impossible to know what the issue is. Only way you are going to know is start over.. flash the stock rom, and make sure the phone works properly each step of the way.
will do that and report
Flashed a different from and everything is perfect now

Hi guys. Everything is great with my v20. The problem is that there are certain apps or games which I use, although fully updated which stop responding after a few hours. There is this one game which I usually leave open to farm on its own on auto. Eventually it stops responding to touches on the screen even if the sprites on the app itself keep moving. It comes up with a notification prompt to close the app, wait for the game to respond, or send feedback I have to reboot the phone to get it to work. Anyone else experiencing this kind of behavior and how did you remedy it. I already tried turning off power saving mode and the game optimizer to no avail.

Nothing can be done, you just have to wait for the app to update, although two apps I use xe.com and tsum tsum is having problem it's still usable.
It's a android 7 thing, so it's a waiting game.:fingers-crossed:
Most likely the Android 7 being the culprit, just watch for updates it would seem that there are some changes under the hood that are causing compatibility problems.

Yep. Probably nougat issue or memory leak problem. I'm leaning towards nougat. Luckily I've rarely had the problem.
Thanks guys. I kinda figured out it was a nougat problem since it's not consistent with all apps and just 2 apps in specific.

Hy
Not long ago i started noticing that my P20 started behave strangely. Before i got the android 9 update i used to have at least 2 gb ram free. After it im lucky if i have 1.5 with no apps open. Also sometimes apps are giving visual bugs like the options icons are shown on the main screen(not using app drawer or other launcher). Also sometimes when i type the google pad just disappears like i clicked outside of it. Sometimes it happens on my tablet aswell(m5 lite).
And as for a final the media volume randomly drops to a specified level even tho the volume bar is at max. Nothing else runs in the background and the phone is in my pocket.
Thanks for the answers
Edit #1: When i get a notification i used to get a floating cloud when my phone is unlocked. Now i dont get that and im missing out on a lot of information without it(no buzzing either)
