I'm running Lollipop 5.1.1 and whenever I swipe away recent apps in the task switcher such as Chrome or Play Store, there is a lag/stutter before the app leaves the screen. It swipes away and then pauses for a second before leaving. Is there any way to fix this.

Well, this might be from you having a lot of apps opened at the same time.
When was the last time you flashed a ROM?

I flashed a ROM a couple of days ago - the latest Cataclysm. It was occurring even before that and even happens when I clean flash any ROM and kernel combination. It also happens if I have only one app in recent apps.

How many apps do you have installed? Xposed? Any xposed module that interferes with the recent apps screen?

I have xposed and maybe 20 apps but if it even happens on a clean install, then it doesn't really matter. Maybe it's just time for a new phone. Here's a link to a similar post where people concluded it was just normal.

It's weird as it doesn't happen on my N4, so it's not the hardware's fault. Maybe it's a Lollipop bug. Android M is gonna come out soon, so maybe that will fix it.

It doesn't happen on my Nexus 7 2013 either which is weird.
I thought bumping this thread would be better than starting a new one. Here's a video I found showing the lag on Youtube. The lag occurs on the last app when he's swiping away Chrome.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9P4m_B4uAQ
Happens on my moto g 3 too.. It's so so annoying.. :/
Happens to me to, nexus 5 stock, started happening with android 5 or 5.0.1, still happening with android 6. doesn't matter how many apps I'm swiping away, I can have only 2 apps in the recent apps list, the last one will always have a small lag when swiping away.

Hi,
Searched the internet but could only find one other writing about the exact same issue that I have.
Has any of you experienced the same? I happens quite often unfortunately...
Quote from this Google forum:
I have a habit of using "Back" button to "exit" from Android applications back to the launcher. Recently, I started noticing a rather peculiar and intermittent behavior associated with "Back" button. Consider the following scenario:
I launch my Out of Milk app using a icon on my launcher screen. The app starts successfully. I do what I wanted to do. And then I hit the "Back" button in order to return back to the launcher screen. The Out of Milk GUI disappears, but it is immediately replaced with Google Earth app splash screen. It is displayed for a very short time (a split second). Then it disappears and I finally return to the launcher screen.
Some other time I launch RealCalc app, do what I wanted to do, and hit the "Back" button. For a split second I get thrown to Contacts app for and only then I return to the launcher.
This seems to happen with all apps. Sometimes, when I hit the "Back" button I even get to see glimpses of two apps instead of one, in sequence, each for the very same short period of time. This behavior is very intermittent. In many cases the "Back" button works as it is supposed to, i.e. it returns me to the launcher screen immediately.
So, what is causing this strange "flashback" behavior?

well, if you don't have any launcher set to default, you can kill it and when you click on back button it goes to random app, but you have the default launcher set, so this is not the problem in your case.
P.S.: I also have Nova Launcher and don't have this problem, so the problem must be somewhere else.

I'm using the default launcher.
It's very random to me, which app is popping up. Mostly it's an app that I've been using within the previous couple of hours...

That's really weird. Do you use any custom ROM/kernel? Do you have Xposed Framework installed? Is your phone rooted?
same thing has been happening to me for a while on probably 5 different roms and I always use the GEL launcher. I cannot for the life of me figure out why it does it.

Stock ROM with Franco kernel. But I think it also happened on Faux kernel, but not 100% sure.
I also just disabled Xposed Framework to be able to run on ART, which didn't change it.

It just don't make sense to me. I am also using Franco kernel, but not with stock ROM. I also have GEL and Nova Launcher installed. I have run out of ideas.
same here, quite annoying, 4.4.2 stock and franco r34
I find this happens when a [bad] app crashes. I can't remember which app I had problems with but until I uninstalled it every time I used the back button to leave it I'd wind up in another app, usually one I had not used in a while.
happened here too... stock launcher, stock kernel, gravity box installed, rooted... about the only changes i've made.
Just a kitkat glitch probably

This same issue happens to me as well, not too often but it does occur. The apps that mostly come up for me are the dialer and gmail. Im running SlimKat 4.4.2 Build 3.6 with Nova Prime set as the default launcher and I actually started experiencing it after seeing several people who brought it up in the SlimKat thread. However, from what all i have read, seen, and been told about it though, it has been happening to people on all different KitKat roms both custom and stock and not just any one thing in particular. Like another person said, i too believe it is just a KitKat bug in general and not something specific as to any one single thing that could be causing it. I would guess that it will be fixed eventually being that many people have been experiencing it and not just a few.

I'm also having this issue. Stock rom/kernel and rooted. Caught it on screen record. Excuse the background noise. Didn't realise it was recording sound. http://youtu.be/sOxzuiFv3xQ
Glad I'm not the only one experiencing this problem. Also sometimes when I'm exiting to the homescreen my icons and widgets take a split second to appear.
The same thing happened on my Skyrocket running 4.4.2 before it kicked the bucket. Figured it was due to running a custom rom but now it's happening on my mostly stock N5.

This is unrelated, it is just redrawing your homescreen.
Haven't had this issue. Are you guys tapping the back button quickly and repeatedly?
Lately my Nexus 5 has been having some issues. I first started noticing this when I'd get artifacts popping up while on chrome. Then during reboot, play services would crash, and sometimes the launcher would refuse to start. Then other apps like Hangouts would refuse to let me view messages without a app crash. Even 3rd party apps have crashed on me.
I've done a full wipe and put stock 4.4.2, three different times now and within a day I get the same symptoms all over again.
This has been going on for over a week, I have absolutely no idea what to do now.
Any ideas? Is perhaps the storage bad? Any way to test it? Or what should I do.
Thanks
Flash clean stock and don't install a single app for those few days and see what happens.
If nothing, install just a few apps at a time per day. If it suddenly starts....you'll know its one of the few apps you just installed.
That's all I got. Lol

Are you flashing a custom kernel with it? Are you undervolting at all, running art? I specifically ask for undervolting, cause that will cause things to crash | reboot.
No, no custom kernel. Everything I got was from googles factory image site. https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/hammerhead-kot49h-factory-02006b99.tgz
And I've never undervolted before. I could root and perhaps increase the clock speed. Also not running ART. I did a few months ago, but switched back.

Well aside from rooting, best you can do is force stop all those apps, particularly the ones that are crashing specifically, then clear those caches from the menu. After you've done all your problem apps, reboot.
If he did a full wipe and installed a fresh stock image....caches aren't the issue. Its probably one app wreaking havoc. Lol
Am I the only one with stock 4.4.2 whose camera freezes?
I've been battling the problem that if I use the camera on the Nexus 5 it will sometimes freeze the phone. It may happen after a variable amount of pictures are taken. Suddenly the phone freezes and only a reboot will get it back to normal. I've asked in this forum without success and then found this
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5880096/problem-using-camera-api-on-android?rq=1
Any solutions anyone?

What's your phone setup? Are you rooted with a custom ROM?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Rooted, stock 4.4.2 ROM.
Nova prime launcher.
No syncing on anything.
Use xprivacy, AFWall+, gravitybox. (but all 3 disabled with no improvement).
Camera is essentially unusable because of need to reboot every few pictures. Screenshots in my other thread.

dont disable the exposed, delete it(remove everything xposed completely), reboot, then try your camera
I would hate to do that because I really like xposed. But I'll make a nandroid backup, and then do as you say. If it's no better, I could always restore the nandroid. But nobody else has noticed any connection between xposed and Google camera. I "believe" the problems started when I updated to the latest camera update. Wish I could find the pre update camera app.

xposed causes many many random issues that are undocumented. for many not a single issue, for others its like a phone full of gremlins.
Well, tis done. I'll see if the camera behaves. It takes time for it to act up....
Fwiw, I've used xposed for quite a while and the camera freezing only started about 4-6 weeks ago. Maybe it was a recent update.
I uninstalled xposed. Where should I look for files to delete to ensure a good test?

honestly, i dont know. i have never needed or been willing to use xposed. an uninstall and a reboot should be fine(dirty flashing your rom again would be best, but i think it will be fine without). just give it some time to test. if its not xposed, restore your backup and we will look further.
I'm afraid to say anything, but I think uninstalling Xposed did it. Will wait longer before breathing a sigh.....
Thank you.
Sometimes when I unlock my phone, a random app opens. Anyone else have this issue?
I did on my Note 3 whenever on a TouchWiz rom, but so far not on the note 5. Never could figure out what caused it because it didn't happen at all when i was on CM.

I have this issue too. Sometimes the calendar app is open when I unlock the phone. I'm running Thrash Lite ROM with arter 4.3 kernel. I just thought it was me. Doesn't really bother me.
YES, multiple times per day. I think it started happening after the last update for me. It's really freaking annoying. I'm on stock, not rooted, and running Nova. It seems to always be an app that's on the home screen, even if my finger is nowhere near it.

I wonder if it is a Nova issue? I use Nova as well
Nah, I don't use Nova and have that issue. I'm on stock non rooted with Google Now launcher.
This happened to me while I was on my note 3. Someone pointed me to this app in the play store that does a scan to find out what apps play dirty and launch random ads. Maybe there is something that can catch the culprit launching the apps.
Does anyone else have crashes for oneUI ? Fort me it happens like twice a week on my exynos model.
I'm so disappointed with this phone to be honest. It's stutters now and than and to many crashes in various apps.
I'm assuming must of it is due to Samsung chip.
I have also whacked for nightly restart even thought it's stupid i think.
Did this happen from day one?
If not it's likely an app, update or settings issue.
Still that's pretty unstable... it could be a hardware issue.

try factory reset with disabling of trashy preinstalled apps (disabled 144 on mine ), then install your apps (not restore)
adb app control
It wasn't happened on mine ( SD variant). Try to factory reset the phone, download and re-install all of your app instead of restore them (even with the phone setting). It may help to solve issues
I appreciate the tips but seriously guys, factory reset and redownload of this many apps i have is like a weeks work! I only download the stuff i use (and 99% payed apps as i hate ads). Not to mention i might loose some data thanks to how Android save data. This is not 2010. I hope modern phones are more stable then that.
If this was iPhone then i could simply restore easy but with Android its not as simple.
If there is no other way i wait for some more samsung firmware updates.
It has not happened this week so lets see.
I notice some specific apps are specially bad like LinkedIn hangs allot. Tapatalk wont work even with this forum and gives error. Maybe some of these apps make the launcher go nuts....
Try using a different launcher, to see if that stops the crashing
