Testing Nexus 5 memory?

Is there a tool or way to test the Nexus 5 sdcard memory?
For the last six months I've had problems with my rooted Nexus 5 (stock kitkat) suddenly running very slow. After a lot of time trying to figure out why, I determined the following.
1. Slowdown happens when an app is writing something to the sdcard.
2. Is not a particular app. Can be any app.
3. When it happens all 4 CPU cores are running close to full blast.
4. Battery usage shows "android os" is 50% of the usage.
5. Task killers do not solve the problem.
6. Reboot restores things to normal for a while.
So I now wonder if there's something wrong with the built in memory but don't know how to test it.
Is there a way to test the Nexus 5 message? It is very frustrating to talk 2-3 pictures and then have the 4th one make everything grind to a stop. Right now, typing this is a pain because every letter takes its time to appear. I know rebooting will solve it but I should not have to.

sounds like you get a process(es) that get "stuck". also, when this happens, have you ever checked if your google stuff is syncing or " stuck"? sometimes badly written apps can cause this to happen as well.

I think you are right but I don't know how to find the faulty process. I "think" I first noticed it after the google camera update, but I used settings /apps/ to uninstall the camera update without improvement. I think camera showed the problem because it has to save the image to memory sdcard.
I don't sync and have sync turned off everywhere and on all apps. Sometimes Google play shows up as the prominent battery user even though I don't have it update apps automatically. But it is primarily android os that is the bad guy.

One of the things I had tried when the problem first started was to restore an earlier nandroid backup, but the problem continued, so I restored the most recent nandroid I had done before the earlier restore.

Recent screenshot.
I was on the browser and Tapatalk for a while. But not on play store.
Not frozen now when taking this screenshot.

You need to get gsam, or BBS or wakelock detector and see what one of those says. The stock battery screen is pretty much useless to find a battery problem.
But I'm guessing all your issues are tired to one bad app as said above.
Get a battery app I suggested, run a full charge down with it running.... And comb thru all of it and see if anything pops out.

I already did that. I have gsam and wakelock detector installed but my knowledge of Android is very limited and they have not helped me so far except to confirm I have a problem. I wonder if there is a way to see the dates I installed various apps. That way I could uninstall in the order they were installed.

Here are various screenshots. The list of active processes goes down several pages.

My guess... It's an app that hadn't been updated since kit kat has been out, and it's spamming location services.
Just a guess.
Check in gsam for times waking device, held awake time and kernel wakelock. (You need gsam root companion from play store installed as well.). These are all found in gsam app screen by clicking the drop down at the top. See if anything looks bad on any of those.

Oh, and obviously, whatever tick tick is, is killing your battery. If it accesses location.... that's my bet for the culprit.

Thank you all for the advice. Obviously I've tried various things. TickTick is a todo list app. Quite nice actually. Anyway I had suspected it might be a problem and have uninstalled it (several times) with no improvement.
Finally, I seem to be making some headway. Don't know which of these two did it (if the improvement lasts.....).
1. There were 3-4 apps I had avoided updating because I didn't like the updated versions (maps, Hangouts which I don't use, Firefox, etc). So I now gave up and clicked on "update all".
2. I disabled the module gravitybox and rebooted.
So far things have returned to normal. My CPU cores are back to low levels.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed. If things continue well after a while I will reactivate gravitybox. I'm holding my breath!

After a full 15 minutes of normal behavior (unbelievable!), I took my courage in hand, reactivated gravitybox. Used my usual apps without the previous freezing recurring (so far). If this continues - and it seems to - it might suggest you don't update GAPPS (I think it was Hangouts) only at your peril.
Such a difference having an uncrippled phone!

After a while the slowdowns returned. Any suggestions?

new update! VRU2BPG5

just received an update today for my verizon note 5. so far ive only noticed a change in the gallery app. thoughts??? are you going to update?

Honestly I don't like the newer gallery.

I never use the built-in gallery unless it's to interact with just taken pictures before using another app to organize them competently.
Is that the only change besides a newer security patch? The update isn't out yet for the Verizon Software Upgrade Assistant app yet, which is the only way an MVNO user can get these incremental security updates.

I've noticed the wallpapers have been changed, disabling theme store and theme setting does not keep paid/trial themes set, I also noticed a Google option in the settings menu, but it could have been there for awhile, and animations seem smoother for me

Looks like the update is finally available on the Software Upgrade Assistant application. Will update and report back anything I can add to this discussion.
EDIT: Installing the update now, will be doing a factory reset and fresh install to eliminate any issues since I use PackageDisabler Pro.
EDIT 2: Can't really find any differences besides maybe the gallery, which I wasn't all that familiar with initially anyways. Phone seems the same animations/speed wise. Security patch is at August 1. Still has the same bouts of random lag with Chrome tab-switching, and long pressing the home screen and apps in the app drawer can bring visual choppiness to the UI still. Phone does seem to run better without disabling any apps though, CPU usage seems light with the bloatware that is installed from the get-go.
EDIT 3: Battery life is definitely improved. Have 2.5 hours SOT with 1.5 of that Star Wars Heroes and just now hit 50%.

Updated yesterday, been running about 26 hours! Animations are noticeably smoother! Battery life seems better also!

Unplugged the phone at midnight when fully charged, looked at 4am, 99%. Very nice, used to lose roughly 1% an hour.
Any official release notes mention improvements to standby battery drain on this update?

Anyone having issues making and receiving calls or sending messages after the update.... not sure what's up but after taking the update my phone function will randomly not work and then sometimes will. Very frustrating...

Haven't run into any of those issues, maybe a clean install would help if you haven't already wiped system cache or the Phone/Messaging app cache.

Is it safe it update
The reason why I say this is because I'm so concern about the battery life on my phone. The main question is: Does this update improve the battery life or does it make the the battery life worse ??

I get better battery life on the new update, but if you do decide to update, I would recommend doing a factory reset after taking it. That or flash if with ODIN. I would bet that most of the niggling issues people are having are upgrade related. Also if you do anything involving debloating/package disabling outside of the disable function built into TouchWiz/Android do a fresh install.

The update removed by Amazon Music app and when I try to re-install it in the Play Store I get a "Can't Install" error... Anyone else encounter this?

Found my own answer. The instructions in this link to enable Audible, update, and then install Amazon music, worked!

Am I stupid, or did the battery percentage in the status bar disappear?

I'm stupid. I forgot there's an option in the battery settings. Maybe I knocked it if no one else had it go away with the update.

3.0 issues

SM-R775T (US TMOBILE EDITION)
3.0.0.1
Had my watch since June and loved it until the update when I began experiencing the following issues.
-Wake gesture doesn't work
-Pedometer doesn't work
-Auto detect workout thinks i'm always working out which causes severe battery drain. It's never the same workout it just seems to randomly pick one.
Turning off workout detection fixes that issue and isn't that big of a deal but is still annoying because I shouldn't have to do that on an expensive watch.
Not having wake gesture makes the watch almost pointless as it is usually just as fast to check my phone when I want to see the time
Pedometer was one of my favorite features of the watch as it was remarkably accurate and I would have to really try to make it have a false reading.
TMOBILE said they are PROBABLY working on a fix but it seemed like a generic answer just to get me out of the store.
Anyone else experiencing any or all of these problems and if so any solutions found? Any word if a patch really could be on the way or should I just use my insurance to get a replacement?
I've already done multiple factory resets which would temporarily fix all the problems, but the same problems would return in a day or two. Last few times I've done a reset hasn't done anything.
Any help or suggestions would be helpful

I had issues along with horrible battery life after the Tizen 3 update. I also tried resetting a few different times with no great benefit. What finally helped was uninstalling everything on the phone too (Gear S Plugin, Samsung Gear, Samsung Health). Restart phone, RESET watch again and start completely over, following the directions of what to install from the watch in order. I also did NOT restore my settings, I skipped that part. I went from 8-12 hrs a full charge to showing over 2 days.

I was surprised to see the update available. It took a long time to long time to download, transfer, and install, so I would definitely recommend that your watch be in its charging station for the process.
At the end of the update here are the version numbers:
Tizen 2.3.2.7
Software Version: R730TUVU3DRC1
I haven't fully explored everything, but there's a lot I like:
Quick Access (pull down) has a lot more capabilities (including accessing Settings, Brightness, Do not DIsturb, Screen Always on). Unfortunately they seemed to have removed the music player. (Guess I'll have to add that widget back to my list).
Widget improvement: Multi-contact calling looks better, there are a lot of new Health Widgets including a multi-activity one in which 4 possible activities are presented on one screen for a easy selection and start-up, recent apps widget is really handy.
New apps: I tried the Samsung PPT controller, but it didn't work. (I'm on a Mac, so that might be why).
My big big concern at this point is battery life. It seems terrible. That maybe due to playing with lots of apps and then not doing a clear all, but if it keeps up, I may have to do a soft reset and see how things are. Right now, I'm guess the battery drain rate is 2 or 3 times what I usually have.

The Samsung Health too was update. Now the aplication alone of Samsung Health for iPhone support the Gear S2, and this is incrible!
I believe this Samsung abandoned the Gear S2, but I thinked wrong.
Can anyone speak if the run4gear work in Android Phones with Gear S2 in Tizen 2.3.2.7?

Mine says no new update available :/

I did the update this morning and it was successful. I see the new shortcuts widgets and updated health and weather apps. But I don't see the Powerpoint App anywhere. Is that something you have to download?

So swipe down now doesn't go to the previous screen. Am I right in thinking to get back to watchface you now need to use a button?

Yes , I think the update removed the swipe from top to go back feature. Need to use the side button to go back over you are inside of an app.

Anyone have the previous firmware for SM-R735T? I don't need anything the new update offers, just want the "back" gesture returned.

Habit dictates a swipe and I keep getting back the settings...... Will have to relearn.
Anyone else found this a nuisance?
Valiante try Sammobile....
Wouldn't it try to auto update if you re installed the previous firmware version, or could you turn it off at the Gear app 'phone settings?

Has anyone tried to flash this to a vzw watch or is that not possible and we have to wait and hope vzw puts out an update?

Verizon has updated there page for the new update but still have not received the update ota here's a link to page https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/samsung-gear-s2-classic-update/

Scratch that I just received the update for the Verizon gear s2

i'v also got the new update here in Chile...
awesome update guys.. new pulldown toogles, and a lot more... new icon and new apk's
now we have samsung app store in the gear...
good job samsung gear department..

I was really excited to get the update. After the previous update, watch does this really annoying thing where it lights up the room when its done charging at night. Some times it will stop charging, drain a little, start charging again, and then light up the room a second time.
Well that hasn't been fixed. Now my watch battery is draining incredibly fast. I had to turn off always on watch faces and it's still draining at least twice as fast as it used to. Its been off the charger for an hour and it's already down to 85%.
I really miss the swipe down to go back. I don't need quick settings on every app. I hardly ever used it as it was. Speaking of which, most of the quick settings don't even do anything for some reason.
Really disappointed.

For me with the new update, I can't anymore answer to a whatsapp message direcly on the watch ! I can only use a button to open whatsapp on my phone !
Do you have the same thing ?

I got a second one a Verizon model and bassiy have to have all extra features off. And weird stuff is happening on it
I spent 10 hours yesterday dropped to about 75% I found download mode and was gonna play around. But that was the first reboot. And upon reboot batt was at 15% I'm like what the heck so I through it on charge am gonna swap it back out with the orig AT&T model I got first.

I haven't found the setting to manually set step target with the new update. My alarms stopped working so I had to do a factory reset to get them to work. Now I can't change my step target on the watch. This is how I used to do it:
1. Open Samsung Health
2. Go to very right/bottom and select Settings
3. Select "Adjust Step Target." This selection no longer exists.
I looked in just about every possible setting in Samsung Health and the device settings. I've tapped and long pressed on every possible data point on every possible screen for a hidden menu. It's nowhere.
I reached out to Sammobile 2 times.
- The first time I received instructions for doing this on the Gear Fit 2 Pro. #fml
- The second time I was told to factory reset everything, which I had already done. #fml
It's annoying that manually setting the step target on the Samsung Health app doesn't sync with the watch. But that's another topic.

Oh wow... I have the T-Mobile version, I don't have a plan for it so I was surprised to get an update but yeah I'm down to 47% right now and I should be in the 70/80 by this time. I closed all the apps and that seemed to help a bit but when you have a few apps open it seemed like it was draining quick...
I'm gonna do a reboot once I get home hopefully that'll help. If it doesn't do the trick that's something they're gonna have to fix.

Now if they will update the Wear app so it's compatible with Android Q...

Well, I don't like the screen staying on while charging with the little charging symbol scrolling around the display after this update! The display only goes off once the watch has a full charge. I can't find any setting to disable this stupid display being always on while charging as I do not use the always on display setting at all anyway. I really hate it when they change the simplest things which make no sense at all. I probably wouldn't mind it that much if it was displaying a number for amount of battery charge instead of a stupid charge symbol. Oh well, they added one annoying thing with this update!

Update non-US watches
Being curious about this update I changes my CSC from PHN to XAR. The update was offered to me (with release notes in Dutch) and successfully installed. Afterwards I changed my CSC back to PHN. All working as expected, but to early to tell something usefull regarding this firmware as it is running for just a few minutes.
If you can't wait for this update for your region, you could try the method mentioned above and update to Tizen 4.0.0.4 and One UI 1.0.
Be careful as usual and remember your watch will be reset.
CSC changed using this guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/gear-s3/guide-how-to-change-gear-s3-r760-csc-t3784226

just out of curiosity, did this update fix the sensor not working issue introduced after tizen 3.0.0.2 update?

Try to do it, but nothing works :/

I am not an expert enough to guide you through the whole process, but these were steps I took:
- changed CSC to XAR as described in the post mentioned
- phone resets
- connected watch to phone
- restored backup
- changed CSC back to PHN
- phone resets
- connected watch to phone
- restored backup
- configured some stuff like widget order on my watch and installed some additional watchfaces/apps form the Galaxy Store which were not restored from backup.
- back in business and all working as expected.
Hope it helps.

Just updated my AT&T S3 Frontier to One UI version 1.0, Tizen 4.0.0.4 (R765AUCU2DSD7) - Everything appears to be working fine except for the Alarm App 1.1.56 and Widget. Getting error: "Unable to load data. Tap to retry" when I tap on the Widget and nothing when I click on the App icon. If I set an Alarm on my S9+ the S3 displays/sounds/vibrates the alarm just fine. I just can't set an alarm from the S3. I have restarted the watch and my S9+ is running the latest version of Android Galaxy Wearable. Anyone else experiencing this issue with their Frontier? - I noticed that updates for the Stop Watch and Timer apps were added in the Galaxy store, but not the Alarm app. Maybe there's an Alarm app update in the pipeline.

After this update my Alarm app is showing version 1.2.64 and appears to be working. However, the Galaxy App Store showing the other version 1.1 56 though. Strange...

Installing now

Notifications got slightly changed if I see that correctly. With previous version, multiple whatsapp notifications from different chats only showed the latest one (at least for me).
But now I was able to select between single notification. Maybe someone can check that for themselves.

News Briefing widget does not work for me. Just says could not load, tap to retry but never reloads. Just FYI if anyone cares.

Since updating my battery drains like crazy if always on display is running. Used to get about a day with it on. Anyone else have this problem?

Will test it tomorrow. I used to have display always on almost everyday

Battery life seems much better for me. I installed the update late afternoon, explored the new UI a bit, installed all my apps and now I still have 38% battery in the morning. However, I did reset the device two times - before and after changing the CSC back and I leave the watch in goodnight mode overnight. I'm sure resetting helps avoid certain battery issues.

You are correct...

So yesterday my phone was at 15% by noon after removing it from the charger at 0530. I thought maybe I thought it was on the charger overnight but wasn't. So now today I charged my watch on my drive into work and removed it from the charger at 0730 this morning... But 1330 it was dead! So yesterday was no a fluke it was massive battery drain from the latest update. I do use always on because it's easier for my job but I have never seen drain this past from this watch. I did a master reset to see if that resolves the battery issue. So far it appears to be working because it is draining at a normal rate again.

So far, so good
With AOD, brightness at 7 and heart rate monitoring off it seems to be promising

yeah i am luckily having no issues with the update. all my apps seem fine. it is way more responsive with less lag. battery seems to be about the same although i have only had it since yesterday but comparable so far. i am really liking the new oneui. feels like a new watch.
