Like everything lags or just particular apps/functions (sms, recent apps, etc)? Have you tried wiping cache in recovery?

R u rooted and do u have a recovery?
How about using the built in memory cleaner that frees up ram.add a swap along with your ram.I guess more info is needed to help u

Use holo launcher hd as ur default launcher....im convinced touchwiz has leaks
I havr advanfed task killer installed and let it run idling. ...normally I never use it but on the rare super lag I kill everything in memory (I.e. no auto kill as normally android does better memory management on its own)

Had mine for exactly one month today and nope, no lags at all.
Are you using Greenify (if rooted)?

i mean yeah it works and all but it doesnt mean it stops the lag lol...

Have a ton of crap on your phone will slow it down, and I'm assuming you already knew this. I'm going to assume that you mean your phone took a massive lag attack all of a sudden.
I'm going to say it's something in your memory that keeps launching itself. What's the last app you installed? How many apps run in the background on your phone?

Good luck

If you root your phone you can remove bloatware like Sprint nav, Sprint tv, Sprint zone, some of the HTC things like news stocks I mean you can do a whole lot once rooted

There are apps to control start up apps too once you root.

Alright well I just rooted my phone, do you suggest any apps to control the start ups?
Startup cleaner 2.0 looks well..but there aren't many apps that delay starting..so if you want to look into it go ahead but the difference wouldn't be enormous

Att has nothing to do with it...it has to be one of your apps...something is constantly syncing/and or jot stopping its data use...I suggest a factory reset through kies or odin if rebooting the phone doesnt resolve the issue

I faced the same problem, issue was somewhat with auto backup of data, sync of app data & people details in google account,
BUT the main culprit in my case was uTorrent application.
Even though there was no torrent added to it, i didn't even opened it,
it was using 1GB data daily on WiFi and in data usage it was coming under Android OS usage. I uninstalled it, everything went back to normal.
So try to look for such apps which eat up your data in background, it may not be an error of android OS as such.
Hope this helps, Press THANKS if it did help you
Enjoy

Inefficient design; don't use it. To be honest, most Go Team apps are poorly programmed. I'd avoid them whenever possible.
Yea I guess your right, I decided to try something new and people praised go launcher Ex so I finally tried it and it uses way more ram than nova, I bet it'll drain my battery as well

Galaxy s4 gallery keeps crashing?!?

what can I do? I go into gallery, then it's usable for 4 seconds, then closes. I've went into app info and cleared data and cache. I've wiped cache partition. nothing seems to work. it was usable yesterday. rooting has gotten me so many issues. my gallery thumbnails are over 9 gb gallery issues... please help. thanks

Ok, you're running stock firmware. Are you storing pictures on the external sdcard? I'm thinking you have a corrupted file. Are the pics backed up any where? Corrupted file would explain the large thumb nail size.

really? well uh my laptop died too.... (I'm in a MAJOR technological crisis... and to top it off, I just underwent a surgery on my foot which makes living with these issues 100X more frustrating) I'll backup all pics onto my new computer and delete my SD card and restore pics.... but the thing is, one time I'd unmounted and completely removed the SD card and it still showed a 9 gb thumbnail. how can the file get corrupted? I've never done anything to it. but the major issue I'm having right now is the gallery app crashing on me... i am able to view pics and videos through other app galleries like quick pic... but I really want to use stock gallery cause it has weather tags as well... i just like the extra details.... -_- haha. Thx and look forward to your reply.

Before you do all that, have u tried to clear gallery cashe in app manager under settings. If not it's worth a try...
thanks for trying to help, I mentioned that I already did that in the first post . I'm actually thinking of unrooting later. but idk... I mean iPhone was so much easier to use and even I thought it was an overrated phone. perhaps I should just use galaxy s4 uprooted so everything will just be bearable to use...

A lot of people have been having problems with them. I haven't paid that much attention to what the fix is other than Samsung cards seem to work. Google "64 gb SanDisk xda" and you should find threads that discuss the problem. Sorry I can't help more but I think that's your problem.

I'm not sure I understand the question. But if you restored system apps with tibu, yes it could cause problems. You should rarely if ever restore system apps. If you do a batch restore with tibu only restore missing apps and not any system data and apps.

OmegaRom Find My Mobile not working?

So the other day I was going through my settings since I'm fairly new to the S5 and noticed there was a feature that was just like the windows phone find my phone but a little better. I tried to use it and turn it on but after going back to the original security page it still says off or when I add a number to the part where it will notify you when the Sim I changed it doesn't save the number. Any ideas on how to fix this? I'm also using the tmobile variant of the s5
