From time to time, when I'm doing lots of things (like downloading a song off spotify, browsing reddit and a few apps on memory) the phone seems to panic? It freezes and cuts wifi and data off for a few seconds, and then it returns to normal. Is this a low memory issue?
Try clearing your cache memory.

I've got a SGS running ICS. But for some unknown reason I've noticed that media storage is always running in the background making the CPU run at max clock all the time, which is killing the battery.
I think it might be unable to scan everything for some reason as quite alot of my photos are missing from my gallery.
Clearing the data of media storage stops it running, but I lose all the photos from the gallery and all notifications. I can use an app called Scanmedia to get all the notifications back, and only some of the photos for some reason. But media storage continues to run in background draining my battery.
Like I said earlier I think it might be a scanning bug. Unable to scan all media, so it doesn't stop scanning. That's just my guess though.
How can I fix this?
I am having a couple issues after rooting my phone and thought I would ask here before restoring my phone to factory. I rooted my phone not to long ago and started noticing this. It seems that while using any app that sometimes all apps just crash for no reason. This is very intermittent, and it seems to happen completely randomly. If i am playing a game it might just close, likewise with an E-mail app. The whole phone freezes up, the screen goes blank, and then it reloads the launcher. I don't get a notification that they have force closed or any warning. It is almost like my RAM gets full and Android closes everything, but I have monitored my RAM usage and it stays around 600 megs.
Another issue is that data both on wifi and cell networks seems to drop out. It shows that i am still connected but refuses to load anything until either I put the phone on airplane mode or restart. These issues may be connected but they do not happen with each other.
Anyone experienced anything like this? I haven't installed anything new, and I don't use battery saver apps.
1.Battery drain
Numerous users have reported problems with the battery life of their devices. One of the easiest ways to prolong your smartphone's battery is to change your locations and brightness settings.Enter the settings menu, click on Location, and select battery saving mode. As for brightness, you should avoid using auto-brightness and instead turn your screen down somewhere below halfway, or to a level that is acceptable for your eyes.
2.Frozen and slow user interface
Phones typically begin to slow down as their internal storage fills up. Try deleting unused apps and photos, or moving them to the cloud or a microSD card. In addition, you should close open apps that you are no longer using, delete app cache, and limit the use of live wallpapers.An app's cached data can be deleted be going to Settings, clicking on Apps, selecting a certain app, and choosing the "Clear cache" option. Programs such as App Cache Cleaner and Clean Master, both of which are available for free from the Google Play store, can also be used to automate the process of clearing cache.
3.Connectivity issues
If you have are having a problem connecting to Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or your cellular network, enable Airplane mode for 30 seconds, toggle it off, and try connecting again. Sometimes simply toggling the specific connection can also solve the problem.Still having issues? Try repairing or setting up your Bluetooth device or Wi-Fi network again.
4.Stalled text messages
Ensure you are connected to the Internet either through Wi-Fi or cellular, click on the unsent message, and click the "resend" option.If the problem continues, try restarting your device or even installing a third-party messaging app.
5.Syncing error
There are numerous steps you can take to address problems with syncing. First, ensure that you are connected to the Internet, and that the service you are trying to sync with, such as Google or Dropbox, isn't down. Double check that your password is correct and try syncing again.
6.App crashes
Apps can crash for all sorts of reasons. Is there an update available for either the app or your phone? If so, install it.If not, force close the app by swiping it away in the multitask menu (pictured above) and then reopen it.
7.Unresponsive screen
You may want to throw your phone against the wall when it begins to malfunction, but there isn't a need to panic. Most problems are fixed with a simple restart. Although if you physically damaged your phone or dropped it in water, you may have bigger problems on your hands.Press the power button and let the phone turn off, but wait a minute or two before powering it back on.
Hope these advice can help you,thank you!
The day before yesterday I decided to reset/repair the phone from sony companion in an attempt to solve the battery drain (I think due to cell radio standby, shown as the biggest consumer in the power management list) and trying to install one app at a time to figure if app-related.
Right from the start I uninstalled/disabled a few stock apps, including twitter/facebook. I am using however google now, aquamail. As I also suspect spotify to be a huge drainer I didn't install it yet but I am listening to music from sdcard through poweramp.
So yesterday, first day usage, with moderate usage, was heading to almost 6hrs sot which is a big improvement from 3-4 sot before reset, same usage pattern except spotify.
At 40% batt I updated a few apps amongst them sony albums.
The main sdcard is mostly empty since reset. I have kept however the few photos/video and the music folder on external sdcard.
Right after last night update noticed the phone is draining fast even with screen off. Mediaserver shows some cpu time but also keeping the phone awake the whole time.
So i have cleared cache/data of media storage app, rebooted, put a .nomedia file in the music folder. A couple hours later, battery at 80% after 30 min sot, mediaserver is again keeping my phone awake.
I don't see anything else relevant to this issue on forums aside from things I already did, reset with sdcard wipe included.
Any idea what to try next?
Do you have lot of media on your external sd?
Remove your sd and try.
Please ignore my previous post. the mediaserver indexing might just be legit as I found a huge bunch of pics on my external sdcard, probably copied there before reset. All photos sync is off, imagine mediascanner has trouble with that many files. The solution was for me to delete them as really don't need them on device but you might use the .nomedia file trick.
I have cleared media storage data and restart the app, I expect this to solve it, will let you know if that's not the case
I have following issues in my op6-
1. Excessive Battery Drainage, after full charge it's only last for 3 hours without using any heavy app or gaming, just normal browsing. Phone heated also.
2. Phone Too much hang now and then. For example if I open gallery, it's showing nothing content. Then takes atleast 1 min to load.
3. Camera app instantly not usable ,it's gets hanged first after opening then become usable(30 sec lag). After click photo if I go to check the photo, instantly it shows no photo at all, then after several tries it shows photo. I think everything hang, I don't know where 8GB ram used.
4. I have few apps which are not usable via wifi. In settings wifi usability not disabled. Still can't use wifi
I have tried after cleaning phone cache, it did not solve.
That's probably something like crippled oneplus'es update to force you to buy a new phone. Or you can easily backup your data, perform a factory reset and set up the phone which should help you.
