Crashing every few minutes

My first post here. I've been lurking and learning for a year or more and this is the most knowledgeable place I know of.
I have the att version of this tablet and I am having serious crashing issues. I can use an app for about 20 minutes or so and it will blue screen and restart itself. After it happens once it will do it every few minutes until I leave it alone for a while. Sometimes I need to hard restart it and sometimes it will restart on its own but the screen doesn't come on. Only sound. As far as I can tell it's not overheating and this will happen even if I install nothing from the play store and just use the factory apps.
I have reset to factory many times and reinstalled the firmware with kies and that didn't help. I have returned the tablet to att for a replacement and I have the same problem with the replacement. I'm past the 14 days now and would need to return to Samsung but I don't want to do that if there is something I can do on my own.
Anyone else having these issues or can point me in the right direction to fix this?

I am sad to say that I am experiencing the same issue. I have noticed that I experience the issue more when playing games and / or when there is a lag in data transfer in an application. I can tell this usually when playing a game that is synchronized with the server I will experience the blue screen of death and when I restart and load the game again the game is several moves behind where I actually was. I usually don't experience this error in a lot of other applications especially word processing applications, but I have noticed that it is an issue. I assume its software related, and though it is frustrating, I'm glad to know I'm not the only one.
For a short time I thought that it was related to frequent use of the touchscreen, but I'm not sure that this is true. I don't feel like mine restarts once every 20 minutes.
Sadly I have not found a solution to the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If anyone needs any logs or system information; if you can tell me how to send it I would gladly send it.

Yes. It is very nice to know I'm not the only person having the issue.
20 minutes is really more of an average. Sometimes I can go longer without an issue but it is guaranteed it will crash.
You bring up a great point that I didn't notice. It is more frequent when it is an app that uses a lot of data.

No such issues on the international P905... Not in any of the games I play (It does 6 hours straight without issue) nor in data-heavy apps.
So it's likely AT&T-branded related.

My ATT version occasionally has a few apps that crash. I just restart and usually it's good. It is the same apps that do it so I don't thinks it the tablet.

I am experiencing the same thing on my P907. Can't seem to nail down the culprit.

Are any of you that are having this issue rooted?

I had the same issue then realized it was connected to Knox. I had 'Frozen' all Knox connected apps after I rooted an thought that might be it. I did a new root and it worked fine till I installed SuperSu which was not the issue specification but rather the fact that it disables Knox during the installation. I did one more clean wipe then when I rooted this time I just left Knox alone and I have had zero random reboots or crashes and I have not tripped Knox.

No, no root. Stock. I have minimised the frequency by switching from samsung keyboard to the swipe keyboard but it still occurs.

It happened when it was stock and it happens rooted. It's gotten to the point now that I went back to my iPad. I'm not liking the iPad since I've switched but I just can't use the note with it crashing all the time. I don't know what else to try.

I've seen a report or two about stability issues related to micro USB cards. If any of you are using one it may behoove you to try shutting down, removing the card and running without it for a while just to rule that out. Sometimes a corrupted card can do it when an application writes or reads from a particular location of the card. It's worth a shot.

Mine doesn't crash. But I feel it freezes occasionally. Itis actually subtle, but I can feel it. Especially, I certainly feel that my note 3 runs more smoothly then the note pro 12.2. Mine is a wifi version. Has anyone else got the same feeling? How can I optimize the device?

Do you use a microsd card? Most cards are really slow compared to internal memory. The Note Pro seems to install whatever it can on External-sd when adding a new app. Go into application manager to move all apps back to internal storage. See if that helps with the stutters and freezing.

All my apps are installed internally. I got some time to run the benchmark tests and the scores all seemed to be normal. However, in Antutu, the memory score of the note pro is about 60% of the score of note 3. Could the memory be the reason for the stutters?

So I called Samsung and I am sending it in for repair. As I said in my first post I already swapped for a new one at att and I have the same results so I'm not thrilled about sending this in just to have the same issues with whatever they send back to. Be it a new tablet or if they say mine is fixed. I didn't pay over $900 for something I can't use so I will get this resolved one way or another. I will report back when it's returned to me.

I think I may have licked it and not really sure why but I've gone from a dozen crashes a day to zero for the last few days. I went into Kies and did a Firmware Upgrade and told it to completely wipe out all of my data. It downloaded the firmware and reinstalled, I rerooted restored everything from Titanium Backup and its all good so far... Something to consider

im having the same problem. it occurs almost always when im playing games. I thought this device's hardware was top notvh for a tablet but it can only run on the lowest quality settings of most games. im very disappointed.

I experience this too, but it usually happens when the cover is open and it's on the back side of the device, it sometimes interact with magnetic sensor (some little movements of the case) and causes soft-reboot.
Nothing happens if cover is on the front side.

I should have my tablet back tonight or tomorrow depending on UPS. they sent me an email stating they replaced a component (whatever that is) and updated the software. We'll see if that fixes it.

[Q] What's up with the N5?

I'm not sure if people are just really downplaying the bugs their experiencing, or maybe Canada just got a big batch of bad phones but it seems nobody online is having the problems me and a few friends are having with our phones. When 5.0 first arrived I was shocked to find I experienced none of the bugs that everyone was complaining about, 2 weeks later and my phone in unusable. A factory reset seems to clean things up but within another week my phone will become unusable again. I thought maybe my phone had broken until I spoke to some friends and found out that multiple (5+) are having the exact same issues. So my question is what's going on with the n5? How is yours working? I'm extremely disappointed this time around after the great experience I had with the galaxy nexus and n4 and would even say I was a nexus fanboy. After having the n5 since launch I have decided that I will no longer be buying nexus phones, as I have has nothing but problems with the 2 n5s I have owned.
A quick list of some of the bugs I've been experiencing are:
Terrible Battery
Immense lag / lack of response in general.
Facebook Messenger chat heads seem to close themselves about 75% of the time.
Getting the keyboard to come up is a game of hit and miss.
The Wallpaper changes itself to black (my indicator things are about to get crazy)
Data/WiFi often just stop working, while icons in the status bar appear normal
About 1 in every 4 notifications I get fails to actually send a notification.
I get a constant "attempting to reconnect in x seconds" while connected to my moto 360.
My navbar/status bar often disappear.
And the annoying "bug report captured" bug that has been persistent since I got the phone.
I've had these problems on stock 5.0, 5.0.1 as well as all custom Roms up to 5.0.2
I've even tried going back to KK, while greatly improved, I still experience much of the same problems.
Does anyone else have these or similar problems? Has anyone found anything that runs stable? Or is it just time I move on and get myself an HTC?

Using my N5 in germany and it's the best phone I've ever held in my hands Running CM12 (based on Lollipop) for now. Have also been using stock Lollipop for a few months. Both run extremely stable. To be honest: I never heard about your issues. I'm not that big of a fanboy. Never owned a Nexus device before, but I guess I'll never move away from Nexus
Just my honest opinion about the device
By the way: I've got a moto 360, too. And the connection is great - up to 10 meters at least and no random disconnects

I have zero issues with mine, but I'm on stock 4.4.4 so that may have something to do with it. I'm not a fan of Lollipop at all. Too many bugs, and I don't like the look of it.

After one year with my Nexus 5, running stock no root, never a problem. I'm a former owner of HTC flagships phones, never a problem with them.

Using Stock 5.0.1 rooted and with ElementalX kernel is good for me and have been using that setup for over a month now. No issues like what you're describing at all. :S

No problems here like that. Bug report issue is normally a poorly fitting case

Hmm... So it seems that the only people that are having these bugs live in my area... Do you think its possible we all got a bad batch of n5s at the rogers store here?
Edit: everyone experiencing these issues has bought their phones from rogers stores here in my city.

Yeah the devices purchased at the play store seem to be fine now. At first, me personally, I had tons of bugs at release. But those issues have been fixed with updates. Mainly concerning the signal and camera speed.

Thread cleaned.
If you think a report is breaking the rules or shouldn't be there for any other reason please report it and move on, antagonizing them adds nothing to the forum but makes our job harder. Thanks, Tijmen.

No issues here besides the occasional Mobile Radio active wakelock, which I did also see occasionally on KK. I did have some memory leak issues on 5.0.0 but either 5.0.1 fixed it or me removing some 3rd party background services did.

Rebooting is normally my go-to solution for problems but it doesn't seem to help these bugs. I installed CM Security and it constantly warns me about my CPU usage/RAM and battery Temperature. The culprit almost always seems to be the Facebook app (sometimes using 250+ mb of RAM just for background services) Could this be a bug with the Facebook app making my phone perform poorly... Does anyone know of any solid alternatives to the official Facebook app?

Fast for Facebook I'd a good alternative

I've been without issues since the factory images were first released, running CM12 CAF builds without issues (besides cm12 bugs)

So call me crazy but I deleted the Facebook and Messenger apps about 6 hours ago and have had 0 problems since... I'm using the official Facebook "Lite" apk I found online and while it is very ugly, things are running much smoother, just hoping that maybe this will solve the bugs I've been experiencing and I'll be able to help my friends get there phones back to a usable state.

I know it's really late in the game now, but have you tried starting in safe mode to see if you have the same issues? It could be an app causing all the grief.

Anyone knows of any upcoming updates for the idol 3??

I just bought the the idol 3 from Amazon and it's on the way now, I'm excited to see what this phone has to offer...
I heard so many people saying that the phone has occasional lag and stutter, I also heard the it's probably caused by the 5.0.2 version of Android installed in it...
So, is there anyone who knows if any updates are coming soon?

Nope, they haven't said anything all they say is soon, mines going back this week.

It does have a bit of lag that is greatly reduced by disabling animations and turning off all gesture input (which doesn't work anyway with any non-stock launcher, so unless you plan on running the stock launcher you're not losing out on anything).
It's as fast as my old HTC One m7 now. If it does get any slowdown, tapping the multitask button and clicking the broom icon to free up memory fixes it.

Affecting Every Verizon 5.1.1 Samsung Galaxy S6! Touches Randomly Not Registering

Galaxy s6
Purchased: april 11 2015
Replaced: 8-1-15? Camera issue
Replaced: 10-15-15? Touch issue
Replaced : 11-16-15 touch issue
Samsung Galaxy S6 5.1.1 key strokes randomly not registering
The phones ive tested so far have all been the following model so i dont know if it affects different phones. Please post if your phone is affected.
Samsung Galaxy S6 (Verizon)
Model: SM-G920V
Andriod version: 5.1.1
I am on my 3rd replacement phone now because of this issue and just figured out why it is happening. everytime i get a replacement and update it from 5.0.2 to 5.1.1 is starts missing key strokes.. My current replacement i purposely didnt update and it works absolutely perfectly. I have tested 4 phones now and all of them have the same exact issue. I believe the reason most people dont realize it is because of word prediction. most of the time Word Prediction will put the correct word in even tho it misses keystroke. My brother has an s6 and he didnt even realize it till i had him test it like i tested mine. I did notice it tho and got really annoyed by it and started returning phones until i realized that they all had the same issue.. Worked perfectly on 5.0.2, but as soon as i updated to 5.1.1 they started missing keystrokes.
This is how i tested and proofed to Verizon that my phone was not working right:
disable "word prediction" in the samsung keyboard settings.
in the texting app type the first row of keys and press enter repeatedly so it looks like this:
qwertyuiop
qwertyuiop
qwertyuiop
qwertyuiop
repeat about 10 to 20 times. If your phone has the same issues as all my replacements you should see missed keys 2 to 5 times in your repeated words
Example:
qwertyuiop
qwetyuiop (missed the r)
qwertyuiop
qwertuiop (missed the y)
qwertyuiop
qwertyuiop
wertyuip (missed the q and o)
qwertyuiop
Cant wait to see what everyone comes up with! Lets get this to samsung asap for a fix!

My keyboard misses presses and is generally laggy all of the time. The same is true for third party keyboards as well.
I don't blame the touch response though, I just blame the laggy and slow S6. I have to reboot this thing once a slay if I want it to behave.
And yes I have tried fresh instslls, avoiding known problematic apps, and so on.
This thing has been a huge disappointment.

all my replacements were fast and perfect until I updated to 5.1.1. so if u have always had ur issues even before the update then it just might be something else with ur phone. do u know if it was working good before 5.1.1?

Obviously some people may choose took apps like Facbook and instagram. Those are battery and performance killing apps. Anything that does any sort of push notification is running all the time and will drain battery and take away cpu cycles.
Disabling all of those apps is almost equal to having my own Custom ROM installed.

But back on topic... I have no issues with my touchscreen. This was an original device about 2 weeks after release.

Having a similar problem
Got 3 S6s for the family during the rebate sale. So far two of them have developed bad touch sensitivity. It took about a week to show up. It is worse on my wife's phone and that is not good.
When I did a hard reset and restarted it was good until somewhere near the end of updating. Maybe it was the Verizon upgrade, I don't know...
I know it shouldn't make a difference but increasing Pointer Speed to maximum increased the responsiveness of my phone keypad (but not the text keyboard). Up until that change, the dialer was barely useable. I also switched to SwiftKey and disabled (hide is the correct term) the Samsung Keyboard and that seemed to help. What makes this difficult is that it is inconsistent. I wonder if my fingers are too cold in the morning...

on the same one i got in may. never had this issue.

I honestly miss my s5 I think my s6 sucks, slow laggy battery hogging crap,can't figure why they took away allot of cool features like the ability to plug to TV for example (without having to buy adapter)waterproof I really don't care about, also miss having root .I don't have to many issue's with screen misses but could be I don't use it as much as I used to.

Same thing happened to me. Just got my replacement device today. Missed touches mostly around the edges of the screen. Started about a week after I got the phone. We'll see if this one does the same thing...

I realize I am just a noob but I have started debloating and I am frustrated with apps like the Samsung Keyboard restarting themselves on their own. These apps may be hidden from my view but they start running when Samsung tells them to. If these apps can't be disabled, then I feel like I am wasting my time on trying to identify the running apps that are causing the loss in sensitivity.

I have none of these issues.

if your phone stop responding to touch in random spots on the screen, uninstall Facebook messenger, that ****ty app is causing that.

Troubleshoot help

I have apps that just randomly close. No error pops up or anything, they just close. I mainly game on my phone like Dawn of Titans and Clash of Clans. Very annoying when they close and I lose a lot of work in the games. How would I go about trying to debug or look at an error report to try and figure out why my apps are closing? I don't really use any other apps for long periods of time so I rarely, if ever, see them just close on me. The phone is generally warm but not overly hot. I have had this issue on two different Pixel XL phones. The issue seems to have gotten worse after the February security patch but I can't really say since I wasn't keeping track.

Have you played with your mem free settings? Sounds like something may be set wrong or too aggressive there

No I haven't. Not even sure where that setting might be. In developer options, because of these issues, I set "Don't keep activities". I have Franko Kernel but have not messed with most of the settings since I am not entirely sure what is best. i have been searching around and doing some reading but haven't found anyone with posted settings. I think the last time I was able to truly root and had FK was maybe my Samsung S4? Not being able to root the past few years I have forgotten some of what works.

Then you may have an app with a memory leak, and the game gets closed by the memory manager to free more memory. Could be the app itself, too, but I don't play those so can't really tell you.

I thought there was an app that allowed to see background processes and you could see if anything showed in red? It was like a debug app or something that would show everything running. I can't recall. I had this issue with a previous Pixel that got replaced for a different reason. Maybe these games/apps aren't fully optimized for Nougat yet? Starting to think I should have just stayed with the iPhone 7+.
