strange problem with 2 devices of z2 it happens late of 2019 up to now! force me to format my phone more than 5 times per month
system UI has stopped and the device becomes very slow and it always hangs up it forces me to factory data reset to normally work again and reinstall stock ROM it works greet after the age of system one weak to two weeks it again freeze and hung up and many apps close unfortunately and system UI also close when I facing that I know it will never work normally it force me to format everything on it, I told my self it is from stock rom my rom is stock marshmallow, I moved to customs ROMs carbon android 8 and moved to android version 10
the same problem happens I tried all carbon version the same problem, the phone works for few days and begin hanging up like a turtle and sometimes when I press restart it will never boot again it goes to boot loop.
I used these apps: pubg game, Facebook, Messenger, WhatsApp, Instagram , Pinterest
I know and I swear my problems it is not with ROMs mentioned down after all that aching I can say its big companies of hardware with google with sony company they send us virus to make your old devices won't work to force us to buy a new smartphone

I yesterday formated my phone now after finishing posting this post I look my phone it happening again with me, it starts to freeze and begin of endless aching
Same issue
I am having the same problem, at least once a week I need to format and reinstall the ROM.
me too... i have this odd and strange problem!!!! really annoying...
even in stock rom i have problem
Me three! After installing new roms (android 8, 9 and 10) and after a week or so it was freezing, showing system UI had crashed etc. I was thinking I had a hardware issue. I wonder if we all had installed a particular ROM or TWRP version and it caused this .
This forced me to obtain another Z2 to see if it was a software issue - so far its been okay but its been less than a week.
Just so you know, I have always clean installed, and to remedy the situation used 'fastboot erase system -w' to delete everything thinking it was down to bad ram or flash sectors.
I'll let you know how the new one does.
Update: the new Z2 is absolutely fine. The one that kept crashing still does this, but with less usage it takes a while for it to play up. I think the internal memory is bad, where a certain sector is unusable - if that can happen with these mobile flash drives. Apart from writing very big files onto the phone, does anyone know a formatting tool available for android?
Hi has there been any update on this.
I have tried formatting with TWRP but the problem persists.

suddenly my samsung galaxy s3 keeps freezing and I have to make a hard reset every time. I tried to make factory reset, or wipe factory reset, but the same problem.
what should I do?
are you on SDS-safe firmware?
Dude, instead of creating yet another post with this, you could have searched to quite easily find out your phone is halfway dead and should be sent back to samsung for repair as soon as possible. Make it safe to return if you messed with it (flash original stuff, reset counter, etc, read a bit if you don't know what to do, it's all over these forums) and just take it in.
Don't take this the wrong way but you'd think it's common sense to just return any product (not even phone related) that it's malfunctioning instead of asking what to do to random people in a third party forum

use the sds safe précautions to prevent freezing
Envoyé depuis mon GT-I9300 avec Tapatalk
And what are the sds safe precautions or where can I find it?
just search in the general section
Device:GT-I9300 32gb
I have the same problem, this seems to be firmware related to me, the phone works in safe mode but this is really crappy now. I don't think there should be a return unless it's the only fix.Will try and flash JB and update the post.
Edit: Is that sds the Sudden death thing. I tried searching but no results come up. I am a new comer to Samsung as their devices sucked for ages and they still seem to do. Please can some one advise us(the op and myself and future people with this problem) on what is the main cause of this issue that a hard reset fixes it. But for my device,it doesn't die it stops functioning.
This is how I get this problem, my phone is rooted, but it runs fine only when there is a app crash the phone locks up and thats it.
what i tried: I tried to back up my data so i could save myself from reinstalling all my app. I hard reseted the phone and the phone functioned again
but after restoring my data the phone locks up again. Now my phone works about 5sec from normal boot but then locks up. It works fine in safe mode. So really where is issue? Is an app is making the whole OS to jam there has to be a simple fix for this.
Please don't say return the device, thats the dumbest thing to ever say. We want to over come the problem not ignore it/get rid of it.
Thanks for your time guys

My S3 started well and then "SUDDEN DEAD" :crying:
Well. I reverted back to 4.1.1 and no more random reboots or freezes. It was definitely ROM issue.
Any one tried new EMA2 rom? If yes, still freezing?

Mine was freezing constantly with MA1 and MA2 until I did what I posted above.
Now already 2 days without freezes.

Same problems here. Not sure about rooting. If I change the csc code and download the latest, say German update. would that change the rom and fix it ?

Probably not. Depends on what causes your problem.

I was getting similar behaviour too. Phone would freeze after making calls, sending msgs, using facebook, searching on google, basically random points anywhere. Went through uninstalling apps, did a factory reset, and through some trial and error finally pinned down where my problem was at least. It was caused by the latest version of MixZing. Was crashing before frequently, and after uninstalling it I've been using my phone fine all day with no crashes at all. Still potentially early days, but if I don't report back then that solved it for me.
A simple solution
ok guys.. this is something i tried and has been working for me for more than two days now:
the problem seems to be in the download manager included in the new android software so what you simply have to do is to disable this application whenever you're not using it.. you can do so in the settings>> applications manager>> view ALL>> select DOWNLOAD MANAGER and DISABLE..
of course this will stop the play store from functionning and will stop any automatic updates but will prevent the phone sudden death...
All you have to do when you want to download any new apps or update existing ones is to enable the download manager and i suggest before doing that to clear the RAM memory and try to be gentle and patient with the phone...
Just keep working like that till ANDROID finds a solution in the next update and your phone will be fine.. in the end its better than killing the machine with every freeze.
Remember to be patient and work slowly when the download manager is enabled
Reply if it worked for you

My first post here. Thanks for this tip. My phone was freezing every 3 minutes and so I did what you suggested after all other suggestions (except rooting - as I was worried I might brick the phone if it froze while rooting) didn't work. Anyway, just a few seconds after I hit "DISABLE", my phone froze! So I thought it's probably not working, but since the reboot, it hasn't crashed. Thanks!:good:

the same thing is happening to me and i have no clue why its happening it just like 3-4days ago but i have installed only clash of clans and clash royale in my phone. he most interesting thing is that all your phone feature will work but the screen will not for almost 20-30mins then it will recover on its own. all the call features are working well but no response from phone. my conclusion is this phone is totally a mess and i dont even know how i managed t use this device for 4years! it got super laggy after 6-7 months of use. Whatever i went to the service centre and they told that i need to change the motherboard of my s3 costing 130$.
Hi all,
This is my first post on the forum!
I have a XT910 bought in Nov 2011. The phone is from Asia Region. I faced the well known SMS issue on this device on Asia Retail 4.0.4. Initially there was no problem but later it just randomly started. Fed up I rooted the device and flashed the EU JB Official ROM from this forum. Later on I have since installed Cyanogenmod (using Safestrap and done a dual boot with my stock ROM intact). The problem I face these days is that the phone is too slow / sluggish / unresponsive at times and it really drives me crazy. The problem occurs usually when I open some heavy app like Chrome or do some "new" activity .. like a new app installed and configured etc. The thing is this slowness is visible in both the stock / cyanogen mod. I have been on CM10.2 to 12.1 now but the problem exists always. I have done multiple reflashes / formats for CM as well as factory resets for the stock ROM but the issue does eventually crop up after a few days. I have observed the following though using various tools:
1. RAM usage is almost touching 85%+ but rarely do I have less than 50MB of RAM left.
2. Processor also seems to be okay
3. The I/O on the disk is too high tough. Sometimes I have seen GB of data "written" just when opening a blank chrome window (using System Monitor Lite). I wonder if my on board flash memory is to blame? I also have an external class 10 16GB SD card, though removing this doesn't seem to give any performance boosts.
I have been facing this problem almost since I moved to the EU JB ROM about 1.5 yrs back, though I must say the Asia Retail ICS wasn't really fast either.
What are your opinions / troubleshooting hints that I can follow or do you think the phone is plain simple too old and really needs to be replaced?
Thanks.

Hello again guys..
100+ views but no replies!!!
Any help will be appreciated Thanks.
Installed the monitor. That monitor app reports estimated transfer speed not amount data transferred. I.e. installing chrome is done at about 790kb/s. Since I don't have the paid version I cannot see how much it takes to open chrome. At least you know that it is not heat forcing your processor to throttle.
Doing RSD can be a better approach. And then factory reset WITH internal sdcard deletion. Just in case you have bad file system.
You explain in the post that first rooted then installed EU ROM over an asian phone. I don't think it would have worked but if it did, maybe rom is not working well with your kernel. Do a Rsd or flash the corresponding kernel. Second choice have gave me troubles before, so be ready to rsd.
Minimal installation of gapps. Avoiding heavy launchers like aviate. Using .nomedia files to disable media search in certain folders.
Not messing with ad blockers or location services or permissions for a while. Also ohmster had an interesting post in cm11 thread about what he does to get a better experience.
Hello to all, such to title, my problem is with my new Galaxy S6 EDGE 32 GB. So, i seen, after configuration of the smartphone and backup of all my google's apps and data, that some times the smartphone freeze, i make an example, i play call of duty heroes and, after 10 - 5 minutes the phone freeze and reboot, i have already done an hard reset from recovery, flashed the rom (5.1.1) and done a new reset, but also after all this, there is the same problem anyway, but the phone is UNBELIEVEBLE with other use, no lag, nothing, smoothly! So i tryied other games: real racing 3= freeze one time
Taichi panda= freeze one time or two
Call of duty heroes= freeze ever BUT, only with shadows! If i play without these, so far, i seen that the game not freeze...
I also tryied antutu benchmark that had freezed only one times but not more.
So my question is: this problem is caused from hardware or, there is some possibility that is only a firmware problem? Because, i think that the phone had hardware problems, the freeze become anyway with other app, browser and youtube, true? While all this not happens fortunately.
Anyways excuse me for my bad english!

Hello, guys,
I have had Redmi Note 3 for 6 months now and I have been struggling with an annoying issue.
Whatsapp gets killed after a little time of idleness and unless I kill it in the task manager and restart it, I cannot either receive or send messages. When I check in the running apps section, it is not there so the OS certainly kills it. And just clicking its icon on the desktop, opens the GUI but it does not work unless I force close it and re-open it.
I have had issues with Whatsapp on previous devices - more of the common stuff - delayed notifications, messy push service. This is something else.
MIUI 8 is notorious, it seems, for its RAM and Battery management killing apps and I often struggle with that, too. For example: I minimize VLC to open Firefox. I switch back to VLC - ok, the movie starts over, the app has been killed. This is really annoying and I have turned off all kinds of optimization to prevent it, with no success. I am not sure, though, that it is connected to the Whatsapp issue. Because Whatsapp seems to get killed when the phone is idle for a moment but not when switching between apps.
I rarely use Viber but I think the situation there is the same. I sent a message to a friend and I got no response. I opened the app 5 days later and the response came However, it had tried to arrive 2 minutes after my original message. But I had not opened Viber for 5 days, so...that happened.
Let me know if you need details about my settings. I would be really grateful if someone can share some insight on what might the issue be. I guess if I root the phone I can try and locate the culprit module that kills apps. Maybe edit a config file to disable the killing functionality. It is clear this ROM does not like running apps....
Thanks,
Kiril Ekblad
P.S. I have been on Google multiple times: nobody seems to have that issue.
Disable battery saver
developer options -> disalbe MIUI optimization
MIUI is way to aggressive in killing apps ....
maybe go for a custom rom?
You can follow this https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...de-redmi-note-3-sd-mtk-multi-tasking-t3358433 and see how it`s going with push up notification.
When i`ve used miui 8, i`ve done this things and it seems to work good, but anyway push up notification came with a small delay..
For this reason i left miui 8 (very bad ram management) and flashed nougat custom rom and everything working good
Thank you, all
I have actually tried all of these and all steps in the quoted topic. No difference whatsoever. I would gladly go for a custom ROM bit things have gotten really complicated lately. A coupke of yeara aho I would easily grab and flash a custom ROM. Now when I browse through the ROMs topics here I get frustrates.
Something about firmwares, stuck bootloaders I have no idea where to start.
Oh and I don't want to lose slow motoon and time lapse videos. Do you know of a custom ROM that supports them ans the stock one does?

Try clean flash of MIUI ROM or flash Epic / Xiaomi.eu ROM
Thanks, I will have to research on the EPIC/EU ROM.
I am all for changing the ROM as long as I can cope with the flashing and I do not lose any of the significant features of the stock ROM.
By the way, recently - the last several days - I have noticed that on multiple occasions Whatsapp seems to be running - it is showing in the Running apps and still the program cannot either receive or send until I force close it and re-start. Whatsapp web also says Phone not connected.
Hi all, I have purchased a used Tab S3 with the keyboard cover from a local eBay place here in Brazil and it arrived yesterday, the tablet is in very good cosmetic condition and don´t even seem to be used at all.
First thing I did was a full factory restore from the options menu, first boot, when requested to log in my google account, the software crashed a couple of times but ended up working, so followed with all app updates and new installs for what I use regularly on my S9 plus, then I started to use it, every single app seems to lag and then crash, even the options menu crashes almost every single time, same thing with youtube, gmail and other native android apps.
I dicided then, to do a hard reset from the bootloader and well, same results, it crashed in the WiFi selection screen and haven´t got any more stable.
I am using stock rom on android oreo.
Has any one had similar problems?
Here is a link of how it is behaving

Instagram and Penup are very senstive, once I start browsing stories or start coloring the apps crash and closes itself... tried another factory reset and a cache wipe and still, no luck...

Flash the stock firmware with Odin. That will probably solve the problem.

I actually asked for a refund, I still have it with me, but not sure it was worth ta hassle, they haven´t asked for me to send it back, so if I keep it I will try to reflash the stock FW, but I might end up going straight to the tab S4 or an iPad.
