Yesterday i did the buy one get one free through verizon,2 s7. Really enjoyed the speed and feel of the phone. Did the update and still liked it. Today im experiencing a lot of freezes and very poor calls and data lag. Im wondering if anyone has issues with their pbones too.
disable all the crap software, uninstall them if possible. Clear data cache. Reboot.
It's not uncommon for a big OTA to cause problems. Try booting into recovery and clearing cache, then rebooting the phone. If that doesn't work, I've seen plenty of cases where people had to do a factory reset after a big OTA.

Hey guys,
Every since I installed the update my tablet has apps crashing on it and it's just unresponsive all the time. Also things seem to lag more. Everything except games..Even the settings menu crashes.
Anyone else encounter this after the new update? .
Thanks,
Ovi
Back up your apps and do a factory reset?
4.2.1 has been quite slow on my tf700, UI is a lot less responsive, but I have had zero crash (apart from the stock browser, which I have accepted as a fact of life by now). Nevertheless, I have no doubt that a factory reset will solve everything, it is just that I am too lazy to back up and all. I have copied quite a lot of stuff on my tablet, so it will take a few hours to restore everything.
Suppose so but it always good to have a backup.
Use the ASUS MyBackUp? Worked well for me and was fairly quick. Just try to avoid restoring system app data
Makes sense. I just bought a 32 Gb micro SD card to back up stuff. Hopefully the factory reset helps but it's really unbelievable how laggy it is. Almost unusable at times.
I will only restore game data and dropbox since they are so big.
I will post back with the result.

I just wanted to say that I was having the same problem. I updated a few weeks ago and ever since, I've been putting up with a slow piece of crap with terrible battery life. I finally decided to bite the bullet and reset yesterday and ever since, the tablet has been faster than ever. I highly recommend doing the reset.
Backup Guide?
Is there a guide on how to back up and restore? I want to keep most of my settings and stuff. Ideally, I want to back up everything, do the factory reset, transfer files back and have it be just the same.

The Moto G is prone to all sorts of little problems, most of which gradually grow into system instability and performance issues. Generally these are fixed with a simple factory reset, but for some reason that sometimes fails to help. I was having a lot of trouble with my phone, overheating, aforementioned performance and stability, etc... and a factory reset seemed to help, but as time went on and I used my phone, they would return.
My last problem, about 4 or 5 days ago was that my phone just constantly kept resetting itself, in addition to the UI crashes I was having before that. After desperately trying to factory reset and clear the cache and all sorts of stuff, I got nowhere. It would hang up at the factory reset process and just keep going forever. I eventually decided to use the reformat option in TWRP and now everything is great. Time will tell if it holds, but it seems solid.
The major concern I have right now is the root cause. I think that many Moto Gs were shipped with bad memory, which I will test when I look for/find an app for it, which as anyone experienced with computer repair would know can lead to all of these issues and even data corruption, which I think is what might be causing these weird issues. So if anyone has anything to add or correct me on, please be my guest. But for all of you out there struggling with these bugs, give it a try and see if it helps.
Ever since upgrading to Lollipop, my phone has become a huge pain in the ass.
Music will shut off randomly. I wonder if this is some kind of garbage cleaning behind the scenes, because Pandora/Music/Spotify will all just cut out at random.
The battery life is beyond awful. I can't last a normal workday anymore.
Performance sucks. Everything has a slight delay. Random freezes all over. Google play store takes absolute ages to get anything done.
I don't know. Am I alone?

Well...in my house I have a G3, M8 and Note 4 on Lollipop and do not see your issues. All the issues you mention seem to relate to transfer of data. Are you on wifi? Is the router going bad? Are you on LTE? how many bars? These all seem to be signal related issues, especially batter drain, not Lollipop.
My s5 is snappier since lollipop, all in all its better imho

I am in 100% agreement. Since the update, my phone (and my wife's GS5) is borderline unusable. It reboots randomly a few times a day, usually when I am actually relying on it for something. It is slow to do anything and the battery is just terrible now.
I know that many will say to do a factory reset (I already cleared the cache on both and it did nothing), but that is a huge pain for us due to our work email, which is painful to have cleared and add back on.

Well ... You could look at it like this: What is more painful to deal with? Random reboots, lag, and general unreliability? Or the investment in time it would take to wipe it clean and start from scratch? Maybe a corporate store could help you to transfer and set up what is really important to you if you need technical help or you don't really have the time to sink into it. Just a thought.
The ota uograde may cause a lot of these issues. A fresh install of lollipop either from stock odin image or a Sprint technician is recommended. The last if you're not comfortable saving/backing up your phone.
I would have to agree. I was stock unrooted and took the OTA update to OA6. My phone was not very stable and would sometime hang on a boot forcing a battery pull. I wiped everything and flashed the [STOCK ROM][5.0] OA6 Android L Deodexed and my phone has been great since then.

Yeah, that is kind of a good point. I just keep hoping that they will update or "fix" something that will make it magically work again so that I don't have to install my corporate crap again. Probably wishful thinking though.
Wish that I could be rooted like I used to be and just use Titanium Backup, but work killed our ability to root if we want to use our phone there (amazing that little trick they have used on us...they no longer pay for phones or service, but we have to abide by all their rules if we really want to work extra hours and go above and beyond for them...such suckers we are).
Bit of an update: I installed the OA6 Stock rooted rom and cleared all of Sprint and Samsung's god awful apps. The phone runs great now. I was going home with 7% battery life before, now it's 40-50% despite the exact same usage patterns.
I can't really say whether it was the factory reset that happened in the process, or the removal of all the bloat. I was so fed up with "HEY USE YOUR PHONE AS A REMOTE" and "CHECK OUT THESE AWESOME UPDATES FROM SPRINT" notifications that I didn't bother testing the phone before removing all the crap.
But anyway, anyone who is having problems...consider trying this. My knox is 0x0 btw, the mobile odin trick works.
I actually bit the bullet and did a factory reset. It was somewhat painful, but in the end, worth it. It is much better now. My only remaining problem seems to be an issue with Spotify...It eventually causes random reboots when playing music.
My side annoyance with the factory reset...Google needs to backup everything for us to do this. It was annoying to have some things done by Google, some by Samsung, and worse, some not done at all. The process could be done much better.
Hmm.. I agree with the lack of satisfaction with Lollipop. I have problems with bluetooth, slow system, crap battery life, random crashes, loss of features I liked on KitKat, etc. I did use a clean, stock image and ran it unrooted for a while, but still had problems. I just finished rolling back to KitKat and will wait for 5.0 to be more stable before trying it again (or until the S6 comes out)
Hey guys about 3 months ago, I completely reset my phone. Factory reset and wiped everything out. 3 months later, the phone is laggy. Sometimes youtube videos don't even run smoothly. Thats how slow it is. Of course I've cleared cache many times to no help. Battery now and phone also overheats.
Short of doing another factory reset, is there a way to fix this. I don't have the cash currently to buy a newer phone. Sadly. I've grown attached to the Note series especially this phone's functionality. New phone would probably be a Note 8 as I suspect a Note 5 would run into the same issues with the older ROM
Any suggestions?

I found rooting and getting rid of the garbage programming to be very helpful.

I actually fixed it by doing a factory reset on the 6.1.1 stock rom. I had upgraded to 6.1.1 from lolipop but didn't do a factory reset
Been using Samsung phones since the S7, and decided to give the Pixel a try, see what all the fuss is about. And I have to say, it's a bit of a let down so far. I have constant problems with it. My recents button of all things stops working sometimes, and I have to restart the phone, that's the only way to get it to work again. And to add the icing on the cake, when I restart my phone, it seems to forget my Galaxy Watch 4, then won't allow me to reconnect to it at all! Just clicking the connect button in the Bluetooth menu, and nothing happening. I actually have to factory reset the watch to get it to connect again! This will be my third reset. I'm getting to the point of being afraid of resetting my phone.
Is it a step too far to return it and go back to Samsung? Anyone else have this problem, or a solution?
The issues seem to be software related. Perhaps a factory reset WITHOUT restoring a backup would fix stability. If it's just too buggy, you'll have to decide whether it's worth waiting to see if Google fixes the issues in a timely manner or just return it.

Yeah, I might give this a try first before going through all the hassle of returning.
