[Q] S5 crashes - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Good morning android experts
I have recently bought my s5 model Sm-G900F)
The phone has an issue which it randomly crashes and auto restart it was happening alot but after I searched many forums what i did to the phone was trying hard format,installing latest firmwares (i did that alot) i even installed CM11 for the phone and it still did keep crashing randomly and auto restart but after the firmwares it was fewer it crashes about 10 times a day now which is something really bothering me especially when you buy a last model phone and it is still new and does that you get frustrated i know have installed back the latest firmware of samsung back because CM didnt stop the issue plus that on CM there is no use of the finger print scanner and i tried uninstalling and disabling the bloatware apps
And an another issue is that there are many applications which when they start the instantly crash the phone like trix (card game by mayslawrd) and hitman go (the game)
Please i need some help because i am really frasturated and i am starting losing hope that it is a software issue on the bright side i am waiting for the lolipop update maybe the device will stop crashing
Please i need some help i am really getting hopeless.

[Q] ICS is crashing

Hello. I am new having just bought a Galaxy Note. ICS was released in New Zealand yesterday and I Installed it. Now the live wallpaper picker is crashing the phone leaving me with a blank screen and message saying the live wall paper picker is not working. How do I fix this please? How to I roll back to Gingerbread, or reinstal ICS?
I too have installed ics on my device and now m facing lots of problems. Just to start with my WHATSApp is not loading contacts.
It takes time to open camera.
Phone stops responding while reading emails.
Keyboard input problems
Please some one do help us.
Is there any way to again go back to my 2.3.6.
One mo thing face detection and other features are disabled by Samsung in his ics update.

You would have to use PC Odin to roll back to stock Gingerbread. Look up Drketan's thread in Android Development (it's stickied). It will give you step by step details.
I had the same problems too....but did a soft reset....now is crashing much less
ICS is smoother than GB on my note.
Experienced same issues like yours. But after Factory reset /data wipe everything is running fine...
Sharing My experience only... I AM NOT RECOMMENDING IT.
Problem fixed
I did a hard reset on the phone which made no difference. I also did a soft reset which also did not help. So I uninstalled all of the live wallpapers which fixed the problem. I have reinstalled a few but not nearly as many as I originally had. All is well now. I guess some of the free LWP were a bit flakey? However, the problem only appeared under ICS, and my wife's identical phone has many more installed but still running GB. She has no problems at all, and so far is refusing to upgrade to ICS.
After upgrade to ISC..I do factory reset first..its reduce the laggy.. .. now my device work fine. ISC > GB now.
I think by using Titanium back up to disable programs helps to free up a lot of memory which makes it not laggy

[Q] S4 Known issues

Hi!
New I9505 user here.. Still getting used to it before I do anything. I just wanna ask if there is any known issue on our unit? Overheating, Crashing camera app etc? If there is one is there anything we can about it? like overheating, I know using a Bloat free ROM can help. Thanks for the response in advance
its just the over heating and its start to happen if you update or flash new rom or Stock firmware & its gone by if you charged your battery once till 100%.
and if you want to count the locked bootloader :\
i have i9500, the heating issues is gone on 4.4.2, the only bad thing in all galaxy devices is the lag, its better in 4.4.2 but still not perfect, opening contacts, phone, messages takes some time so its not as fast as it should be...

Help needed.. Unable to run camera app, email app and the Internet app!

Hi, I am not sure if this issue has been discussed earlier or not as I couldn't find it in the forum. Any help on below issue will be much appreciated.
I am currently using Samsung S4 I9500 which was working perfectly fine about 2-3 weeks back. But right after factory resetting the phone, out of blue my phones front camera stopped working i.e. It freezes then closes every time I switch from back camera to front. Then the next day I go on to use stock Internet browser and stock email app on my phone and that too stopped working same as above freezes then closes on its own.
I have tried to google the same issue but so far have not run in to anything that could be of any help to me. Therefore please let me know as to what should I do and kindly use the most simplest form of words as I am practically a newbie who doesn't even know how to root and install custom rom even
Any help would be much appreciated and thank you in advance.

[Q] Galaxy Grand Prime SM-G530H browsers

Flash stock rom latest firmware

Have you installed a bunch of applications? Too many apps may eat up the device's RAM and cause lagging, how many free ram do you have?
140mb free ram it always shows approx this much ram free...

Thank you, I will try it. But can I flash it even it's not from my country?
I'm having the same problem. Anyone found a solution? Preferrably without losing warranty.
Note: I always have like ~220MB of RAM free and still get these freezes.

No, i still have the problem, I try to not use chrome at all even if it's useful for my bookmarks for google, the phone it's laggy too and now I kind of regretting to buy it XDA doesn't even have a thread for this phone that says much about how bad the phone is(?) :crying:
May be some of the Devices are affected.... I think its a manufacturing defect. The thing is i void my warranty by rooting . I don't know if there is way for unrooting and restoring Knox .
Guys, I noticed that when turning on "Force GPU Rendering" from developer options, browsing experience is very smooth and lag is gone. I tested this on chrome and chrome beta. Could work as a temporary solution.
Yesterday I Hard Rest my prime and installed all the memory bugging apps but everything is working perfectly. No lagging and hanging anymore. I think battery backup has also been improved a bit. I think u ppl shld root and do hard reset.
I tried this and it seems that the problem is gone, you should have a try : http://www.androidauthority.com/chrome-android-scroll-lagging-363080/
P.S : I changed the value to 256
Use CM Browser

even i had the same problem i factory reseted my phone and its fine
Prob with Freezes
What would cause a phone to constantly freeze and stop working until the battery is taken out and put back in to get it back to working again.
I go thru this way too much throughout the day?
Lag?
i used to have the same problem, i just installed AdBlock plus and my problem is gone.

hi po...!same problem..my samsung grand prime keep on hanging..i have installed 10 applications..does it matter?

Samsung S10+ One UI has lots of bugs

Anyone experiencing this?
The bugs that I faced so far:
- waze not responding after switching between apps. Once not responding, I have to close waze completely then open it again but I might need to wait few mins before it would start correctly
- just today the camera suddenly not responding. I have tried to close the apps but it would still shows blank screen. Then I restart the device then it was back to normal
- game rise of civilization would gave blank white screen from time to time after switching apps
- system UI not responding
I was coming from iOS, then change to vivo v9 before I use Samsung.
While the screen and design is a beauty, but even vivo had no bugs like Samsung.
Anyone face similar issues? Anyone know how to overcome this?

Never noticed such bugs on my device. Don't know about the game though because I didn't try it. Are you rooted ? or using some theming apps like Substratum ? You should try booting your phone in safe mode first to see if some app is causing problems. Last time when my Samsung phone's UI stopped working, the culprit was wrong theme applied from Substratum. So, check it first in safe mode, and if it still occurs in safe mode, do a factory reset or flash stock firmware using odin.
I have had none of those bugs.
Never experienced any of those "bugs" either.
Also, No bugs here...

No bugs here. Not even in beta versions using s8 ans s9. I suggest factory reset. Maybe download the latest odin firmware for your carrier and install that. This is the first thread i've seen with people having multiple concerns with One UI bugs.
The only bug I am getting is with the Spotify app. Ever since installing Galaxy Wearables and using Galaxy ear buds the Spotify app is really flakey. It hangs a lot of the time and I have to restart the device to get it to work. Has anyone else had this happen on their S10 plus?
Did not face any of those bugs at all
And did not try this game
No bugs here
I have a lot of apps on my phone, some since honeycomb and no problems either.
My 975U1 has been rock solid from day 1.
No bugs on my phone. But there are plenty roaches in my workplace
No bugs here.
No bugs. This is the least buggy phone I have ever had. No complaints. Coming from pixels and 6t
Not rooted... I will try the safe mode suggestion though...

Spotify works fine for me. On the phone and on Android Auto. Either uninstall and reinstall or go to apps settings and clear cache and data. Settings/Apps/Spotify/storage/ Clear cache then clear data buttons. Restart and try it out again.
