I have a rooted STS running 4.0.3, and find that various apps (G+, gmail, ymail, chrome, browser) lock up during normal user. For example I am scrolling through my feed on G+ and the app locks up and I get the this app has stopped working message. Usually I hit "wait" and after several seconds it continues to load, but this will happen every couple minutes. The odd thing is when I am playing FFIII it runs without any issues. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Hi,
I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy Player 4, and I am until now very happy with it - except for one point: it seems to be kind of unstable. I usually shut it down overnight, so the ram should be cleared, however it has sometimes even crashed twice in a day. Here's the other thing: it is usually while doing fairly simple tasks, like browsing, astrid (I am talking about the todo list app), etc. Usually it freezes, so I leave it, and then it crashes - I see the startup animation again, and the whole thing reboots. I do use it fairly heavily - I switch apps a lot, use it all day on and off, have many incoming notifications, have many widgets (astrid, default calendar, custom power widget, battery, program monitor, shazam, facebook, and a couple of sticky notes), and I also have an icon somewhere for every one of my apps (I prefer not to use the app drawer. I also can't seem to be able to run more than 3 apps in the background (I got 4 once), even ones that are light on memory. Is this normal? Am I over-using my device? I love it while it is working, but it seems to me like as soon as one app stops working, everything stops working - I can't return to the home screen, it just eventually crashes. Is this normal, should I slow down, or is there something wrong with my device?
Thanks
Got my Titan last Friday, loving parts of it (design of both WP7 and the phone itself, smoothness).
However I can't get over these (related) issues, can anyone help me:
1. apps restart when you open them again. I see a splash screen and there's a delay. Is this normal? Shouldn't these apps just resume (almost) instantly?
2. I use Twitter a lot. All twitter apps (most of them look gorgeous!) I've tried can't keep their position in the timeline when restarted. The app restarts completely and loses the position in the timeline, making it unusable for me. I've tried all settings in these apps, no luck.
I have an Acer Iconia Tab A200 running a stock 4.0.3 ROM - the latest (and perhaps final) Android version for the model. In recent months, the core Google Apps (and several other programs, but nowhere near as regularly) have become frustratingly prone to freezing/crashing on a regular basis, and often in response to basic, repeatable user interaction.
Calendar, for example, frequently displays a black screen when I try to create an new event, although I can exit to my launcher at will. It will sometimes freeze when I'm swiping from one week to view another, and even the virtual Home button doesn't respond for a while.
Google Play will crash, almost without fail, when I initiate three or four app updates after checking each of their store pages for a list of changes. All Play Store downloads cease and I'm dropped back to my launcher. On occasion, it, too, freezes completely, and I cannot quit to my launcher, forcing a hard power off.
Maps has a tendency to suddenly freeze if I scroll around the area for a few minutes. If it does, it becomes unresponsive for a few seconds before closing and dropping me to my launcher.
Google+ will freeze midway through scrolling down posts, and it usually remains stuck for around 30 to 90 seconds. No part of the screen will respond during this time.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what may be causing this behavior, or any suggestions for a fix to try?
When i open pretty much any app, it either crashes or continues to function properly EXCEPT when it needs a keyboard. For example Chrome, I try to type in a web address and then it just sits there waiting for the keyboard to open, before crashing. This is also happening with games, Such as Clash Of Clans, which crash upon loading.
I'm not running any 3rd Party Launchers/Keyboard, completely stock HTC Sense.
I was running Themer but uninstalled it about 2 weeks ago
I was running SwiftKey (legit) when this started, I turned it off, and has done nothing, apps still crash etc.

Is your phone rooted? This happened to my friend (keyboard wasnt working, apps crashing) because he flashed the wrong gapps into CM 10.2, but i know you said it is completely stock sense. If you didnt root or flash an incorrect gapp, I would factory reset. If you do, BACKUP first. There might be a better solution than my kind of last resort deal, but it shouldn't hurt.
*** I have no choice than to beg for help. So please please please help me. ***
So I'm going to tell you girls/guys the whole story. It's going to be a long one, so bear with me. I just didn't wanted to leave any info.
I've been using MIUI for a long while, in the beginning it was all great. But as I started installing more & more apps, I started having issues/lags while playing games. Then there is MIUI's ram management issue, i.e. If I had to run a heavy game/app, I had to clear out RAM(you know the special feature in MIUI). Other than I had network issues. For ex : Whenever I played PR Legacy Wars(internet intensive game), I suffered from a lot of LAG. And Tekken(officially by Bandai Namco on Play Store) also, Force closed once or twice.
So to fix all this, I decided to go with a Custom ROM, basically because of the RAM Management issue.
First I started using CM 14.1. In the beginning the results were good. Like the internet problem was fixed to 100%, PR ran nearly perfect. Other than that there was no RAM issues. But as I started installing more apps, I started having crashes. First it happened with HQ Trivia, then with C.A.T.S. & PR Legacy Wars.
What happened to each app individually :-
HQ Trivia - Every time I play a live game, the app would crash multiple times given that I tap on ''wait'' and phone keeps on processing the app, when I get the message "App stopped working".
C.A.T.S. - This is neither a graphic nor internet intensive game, but still when I was typing something in group chat, the whole system crashed, the phone rebooted from the Boot Animation not from MI logo.
PR Legacy Wars - This game is a bit graphic intensive & internet intensive for sure. Same like when I was typing something in group chat, the same thing happened as mentioned above. Keep in mind that crash should've happened when there was more load on phone like during a battle.
And some very heavy crashes. Like when I try to switch accounts between guest & usual, the system crashed so hard, that I couldn't use it, Not even the hard buttons, like power button won't even turn the screen on. The vibration motor started spinning and wouldn't stop. I literally have to open the phone and disconnect the battery cable.
So having no choice, I installed NOS N, but I haven't tried the account feature in it, in fear of what happened earlier to CM 14.1, As I was able to recover through that heavy crash 3-4 times, but I guess it was the 5th time, I wasn't able to get into the system and lost all data. Why I feared? Cause I'm having similar issues as in CM 14.1, not all of them but similar.
SO after installing NOS N, these are the issues I'm having :-
HQ Trivia - Same app crashing while playing live games.
Sonic Forces - Whenever I watch an AD, if it's longer than like 5 or 10 seconds, app would crash & restart. If it's small or interactive or even non-interactive, if I keep tapping on the screen, app doesn't crashes, otherwise it does.
Twitter - Kept crashing(first installed through TiBa). Issue fixed after I installed it through Play Store.
YouTube - Force closed once or twice. Sometimes when I'm watching a video, when I press back then tap on Home/Trending etc it shows white blank.
Games - If music is playing in background, whenever I exit the app, at the end, the sound kinda gets laggy/screechy.
It's not been that long since I've been using NOS N. And I didn't do any hard testing especially that account feature. So the whole OS hasn't crashed yet. But still these issues hurt in long term, especially the HQ problem. Also all these apps were first installed through TiBa backup, then I installed them through Play Store, so that there's no compatibility issue.
As this OS has a feature to kill apps by holding back button. If sometimes I have lag in PR Legacy Wars, it get fixed by killing & opening it again.
What do I need from you guys?
To tell me if this a hardware or software related problem. I can create some report or log, so you could help me better. Just tell me how to do it? Meanwhile I'll try installing other OSs.
PS: I may not reply immediately, but I will reply.
