So I've been using my S6 now for about a month I would say, and the problem I'm having is the stock messaging app seems to have slowed down tremendously. I used to be able to use it smoothly transitioning between SMS & MMS, but now scrolling lags quite a bit.
The main problem I am having though is viewing pictures. Whenever I get sent a Picture Message and I tap to enlarge it, it takes anywhere between 8 - 15 seconds to enlarge. At first I thought my phone wasn't registering my touch so I tapped the screen a few more times. That didn't help, it still takes a long time to open the picture. The problem for some reason seems to be worse when in a group message.
Any one else experience this issue? Is there something I can do to remedy it?
I guess a simple solution would be downloading a different messaging app, but I just wanted to keep it simple and use Samsung apps.
Thanks for the help.
No, I'm not having this issue at all. I've had my phone for a month.

Hi,
Relatively new the android, I have been using Nokia for the most time.
Lately on my captivate I found out that when I press the google voice app it takes substantially longer to open. I mean much longer than other apps - maps, gmail etc. I am on WIFI, so it shouldb't be a connection problem.
Has anyone seen this problem?
Thanks!
Occasionally, when I do open the app, it takes a while. This is usually after a reboot, however. After the first open, the app backgrounds and opens up very quickly.
Thanks.
But this happens to me all the time, it takes like 3 seconds to open.
I to have the same issue. A good 3-5 sec delay. I am using LauncherPro, have no idea if that has anything to do with it.
yea, i am using launcherpro too..
I noticed this too. I just made a habit of hitting home to get out of the app rather than back-ing out and closing it. If it's cached/running it opens instantly.
Also, I applied RyanZA's ext2 lagfix and it fixed this completely so it's probably an I/O "issue".
that sounds like a good idea.
I haven't used any fix yet. I think i am going to wait for froyo or custom roms to come out and see the difference.
now my phone is completely stock not rooted or anything.
It seems like that the majority of the time when my phone force closes that it will always end up rebooting on its own. I rarely, if at all get a dialogue box.
The problem startet mainly on the stock browser where daily, it would freeze up, virbate once and then twice. Stay frozen for a while longer, and then virbate pattern again and then the screen goes blank. After 2 minutes or so of black screen, the lock screen shows up and it appears that the phone did a soft reboot of sorts.
In smaller cases, the Gallery did this several times ad did a game and an app.
Yes, I've switched browsers and found a gallery replacement and, they've been stable but I don't want to live with the fear of 5 minute lockups and reboots. Switching browsers and gallery is juwta band aid...I want a solution to this entire problem.
To me is sounds like a buggy rom of 2.2.1.
Anyone else encounter this? Any solutions beyond exchanging it or gasp, getting a lessor phone?

I have the Infused ROM 1.5.3, and every so often I'll go to type something, and no letters will show up in the text box! The keyboard thinks it's typing, and even the predictions show up sometimes. However, no text is ever typed into the text box. Sometimes restarting my launcher fixes it, but lately I've had to resort to restarting the phone. So frustrating. This happened on Infused 1.5.0 too, but it seemed to go away. Now all the sudden after upgrading to 1.5.3 it's happening a lot. Any suggestions? Does anyone else have this problem?

this might sound weird but i swear the only problems i have with my phone are when im connected to our microcell. texts failing, keyboard not working, widgets not responding, calls not calling until 7 minutes after i hit "call."
Not sure what causes it or what to do to fix it but I have had the same problem on Refuse 1.6 and 1.7 mainly when using Andchat (irc client) have encountered it less in yaaic but have never experienced it in other areas of typing (messaging, browsers and such)
Sorry not of help but its not just u.
I've had the same problem, with no ROM on my phone at all, rooted stock. However when it happens to me i can just hit back until im at the home screen and then open the text message app up again. It always works when i do this. What keyboard are u using? ive got the "Android 2.3 Keyboard."
i have that keyboard, too. and the samsung and swiftkey. none of them work. what's even more bizarre is that it seems as though when i'm connected to wifi AND the microcell, i can't send texts or make calls and that's when my phone freaks out and the keyboards don't work. i turned off my wifi today and my texts finally sent and i haven't had an issue since.
Yeah had the same problem. All I did was just closed my text and reopened it. Kept doing it until it worked again.

Same problem
I've had the same problem since I got my phone, I've been searching for almost two years on how to fix this problem, usually people don't believe me when I post on this. It seems to get worse the longer I use it and eventually it gets so bad I have to reflash my phone. I'm pretty sure its an app that I use, which would explain why I don't see it at first as I don't backup my apps, just redownload them when I need them. Is there an easy way to get a list of apps from your phone that we could post and cross reference? It doesn't matter which keyboard I'm using. It seems to happen mostly with the default SMS messanger, though it might just be that I use it the most and thats when I notice it, it does happen occasionally with other text fields.
Just as described, the keyboard won't type when I initially open it. The keyboard seems to be working, predictive text works, but nothing appears in the text field. If I wait, type on the keyboard a lot (maybe thats just part of waiting) back out of the keyboard repeatedly or restart the app it seems to fix it temporarily. It doesn't seem to matter which apps are running when it happens.
Any ideas people?
I was constantly having this issue on the GB ROMs I used. In both revenant and infused it would happen. I could recreate it by letting my phone lock while the keyboard was open. It always happened to me in stock messaging and Google Voice because I would pause trying to think of what to type. It became so annoying having to kill the app responsible or sometimes restart my phone that I decided to switch back to JB. I'm on the unofficial CM 10.1 now and haven't had one issue with the stock keyboard or Google Keyboard.
I never did try another keyboard or messaging app. You could try forcing your phone to stay awake longer if you notice the same thing I did. If it's just happening randomly then I'm afraid I don't know what to tell you besides that the jelly beans are delicious; you should give into peer pressure and try one.

I have had this issue with my Infuse also, running CM 10.1 Cyber sgs-IV style ROM. It isn't as bad as some of y'all though, it seems to just hang for a few seconds while I'm typing, then the words will catch up. Only seems to happen when I have between 200-500 messages in a thread, so I was thinking it was a memory issue.. but I'm no developer.
Wondering if anyone else has noticed this and has a fix? When switching between apps many times if I go back to Chrome any tabs I have open will completely refresh. Annoying as hell and I don't get this issue on my Note 4 Edge
Thanks
Likely due to Android memory management

No fix, unfortunately. The tab can't seem to multitask between apps well, every time I switch back to an app I was recently in, the app restarts. It's incredibly frustrating.
Hi all, I did a search with no luck, so hopefully this is a valid question!
I have a weird problem with my moto G3 2015 and was hoping you guys wouldn't mind reading about and possibly offering some kind of advice if it's not too much trouble.
Every so often, I'd say at least once a day, the screen becomes unusable until I press the power button a couple of times (to turn the screen off and on again). Even when I do this quick fix, the problem comes back very shortly afterwards. It only goes away after 10 minutes or so, or if I get annoyed and put my phone away. I thought this was a hardware issue but don't believe that now due to the following:
1. It is a different problem depending on the app I am using. In facebook, scrolling is no longer smooth, and doesn't continue scrolling if I flick down the feed. It only scrolls down while my finger is actually on the screen. I am also unable to actually 'click' on anything, only scroll. In Brave (my browser) it acts as if I've just double tapped the screen, as in if I move my finger down it zooms in, and if up then it zooms out. In snapchat when watching a friend's story it acts as if I've held down on the screen in order to forward their snap to somebody else, and then it doesn't respond at all to any touch.
2. The 3 buttons at the bottom are always functional no matter what
3. If the problem begins when I'm in an app, if I go to my home screen, I am able to navigate my home screen and app drawer with no problems. It's as if the problem is contained within the apps.
This started a few months ago while I was running the copy of android that the phone came with. I put on lineage OS (lineage-14.1-20170629-nightly-osprey-signed) and pico gapps (open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20170629). This seemed to fix the problem for a while but then it started again a week or so in.
The fact that the problem is only happening while I am in the apps, and disappears when I exit out of them makes me think it can't be a hardware issue? I am also no expert with phones or android, but am somewhat experienced in rooting and playing with settings etc. (I'm not sure if it happens in other apps I'm afraid, I can test if need be next time it happens).
Thanks so much for any help, and please let me know if there is any more info I can give you!
P.s. The new ROM is much better than the old one.! The battery definitely drains faster though, but that's a whole other problem

That is actually typical behavior on older devices using as many social media apps as you're using. Especially Facebook and Messenger if you're also using it.
Have you tried booting to recovery and wiping cache when this happens?

Thanks for replying!
When I flashed lineage OS I believe I wiped the cache. I will do it again though to see if it helps.

Yeah, you wipe cache when you flashed, or at least you should have.

Hi there
If the issue was software related, a change of rom should have solved it.
If the issue is kernel related, all users must face the same issue...but that is still not the case.
So This might be an issue with the screen being old. When the power consumption fluctuates, lcd screens can misbehave.
