MM has been great but now it's always freezing - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5

6.0.1 has been great up to now. Over the past week it's been freezing, mainly with the Verizon message plus. I removed and reinstalled and its still the same.
Has anyone else faced any freezing of any kind?
Thanks

is instagram crashing for anyone else?

me and my girlfriend both own nexus 5's. today i got a force close message while using instagram, then later my gf said the same thing was happening to hers. afterwards it started doing it much more frequently. it doesnt seem to be doing it as much now, but it was pretty darn annoying. i was just wondering if anyone else has had the same issue lately? im on xposed + franco kernel, but my lady is all stock. i was wondering if maybe the new camera update could be causing it but im just grabbing at straws.
Crashed just a moment ago after I posted an image. Can't say that happens often. I'm on stock 4.4.2
yeah..it is crashing here and then

Couple of people in Slimkat's thread posted they're having issues with it, possible it is the new camera app yes. I tested mine and it's all good (so far at least)
Mine crashes a few seconds after opening it
i actually uninstalled the new camera app and it reverted to the version prior to the update. and it would still crash without the newest camera apk.

Edge Keeps Freezing

Hello!
So I finally got the Note Edge and it's a splendid piece of equipment. I haven't done much to it other than adding Nova Launcher. So I put on the Sleep Clock.. went to bed and I woke up twice to check email. The problem is that when I tried to turn it on, the sleep clock was stuck and I had to do a battery pull because it wasn't responding.
Has anyone had this sort of problem?
Thanks in advance for any replies!
Try using TW for while to rule out an issue with Nova.

Hi Kirkla!
Thanks for the reply. Yeah.. even with TW.. it's doing it. I'm wondering if it could be the messaging system that I'm using... I am currently using ... I think it's called CHOMP.
If that dont work, maybe remove all downloaded apps, then reinstall one by one until you find the culprit.

I will try that.
Thank you for your help!
So I've done a factory wipe and installed the programs one by one. During the day, everything seems fine. I've even had the night clock feature running at night. I'm wondering if this is essentially is an issue with the phone........
anyone have any ideas?

You said you were experiencing some lagging. Did you ever install Xposed? Can you check these threads and see if you have any of the other issues mentioned? There seems to be a problem with Xposed on some devices (2 Note Edges, one Note 4 and an S5 (the only one that was fixed), if I recall correctly).

hi all..
to update:
My phone was bad. I ended up getting a replacement for the Edge. The old phone would constantly reboot and freeze throughout the day. It didn't matter if it was in safe mode or not.
Anyway.. thank you for replying!
note edge freezing
Don't let your mobile free from background processes I have same problem in my note edge and I used to disable built in apps thinking that this would make my mobile free from freezing and lagging..but problem dI'd not fixed so now I just install some more apps that and make the cpu working continously aND now it is not freezing or restarting.. strange
You may solve your issue by clearing the cache memory. I had same problem, but now my NoteEdge works perfectly for about 12 hours...

[INFO] Touchscreen Lag

So I recently started having touch screen lag and was searching around on how to fix it. Unfortunately none of the solutions really worked, but changing theme from stock did help a bit. I have not yet found a solution which is why I need your help. Please contribute anything, anything at all.
So when I restarted my phone into safemode all the lag was gone, I will start to isolate a service or an app that is causing this. Anyone else feel free to help out please !
EDIT: Uninstalled xposed but no changes. I'll try root next.
My OPO is lagging, too. The update to 05Q didn't fix it. It seems to get worse when the phone gets hot, which is what a lot of other people are reporting.
It's getting really annoying. I'm going to try a full factory reset, but I'm not hopeful since the temperature thing leads me to believe that it's hardware related. I'll probably end up getting a new phone.
Keep us updated on what you find. I love this phone so I really don't want to get rid of it.

Well well, I deleted it and I noticed a improvement in the lag, but there are still random lag spikes which just MAKE ME WANT TO SMASH THE DAMN THING!!! Even my moto G can handle touchscreen latency better than this. I'm debating on weather to do a factory reset or not... and yesterday all my contacts disappeared for no reason... For some strange reason the lag is extremely less in safe mode which leads me to believe that it must be some other app as well. I have tried uninstalling xposed but it was not the source of the problem, neither are my root apps. Ill try uninstalling avast next (I mainly use it for a firewall with root). This is definitely a software problem because when I use twrp the touchscreen works perfectly fine. ARGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
Disabling swype to type helped a lot but that is not a viable solution and CM or OPO should fix this.
To be honest my lag problem wasn't that savere it was intermittent. But at times it would flare up and I noticed it not only on my opo but my sisters glx s3 after adblock plus was installed.
Opo is good hardware but the software side is very much to be desired.
On a sidenote.... Update to 05Q yesterday has left me with a very bad network reception :weep: it will just no longer work indoors!!!!!! So will have to downgrade to 44S withba complete wipe.

Yes my touch used to be good before 44s and after it just got terrible. I'm hoping cm12 will fix it.

After that update, I also had reception issues. I had to go back to settings and under mobile networks > APNs, select a different APN and then switch back to the original one.

Guys and girls,
This has been occuring on and off on my OPO.
Safe mode partly cures but not fully
Uninstalling all 3rd party apps, does not solve
Installing Swiftkey does not solve
Problem deteriorates gradually over a few days
Tweaking system/theme settings makes no difference
Running command line into terminal - no solution
The only way I solve this problem is by factory resetting and trying to standardise/keep simple/keep minimal my system settings. I don't install apps that I don't absolutely need. I back up all my data on a HDD so the only thing I lose is my time to reinstall and tweak settings. About an hour.
Infuriating, but feeling of heavy relief sets in once solved!

[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.

Phone not installing new OTA

Bought my GF her first Samsung..the S6 on Verizon.
Everything's working great except it keeps giving update available notices and this is after she has updated it..4 times. Is anyone else experiencing this? Is there a fix? Or should i tell her she's stuck with Marshmellow..
