Hey all,
I have been using Android Assistant to block auto-starts and clean up memory where possible. I had also installed Launcher Pro and Home Smack. I did not remove the Dell Launcher.
For a while now, I have been annoyed by a ten second or more lag when redrawing/refreshing the home screen. Sometimes the home screen(s) would not refresh at all, unless I held the Home button and released it after recent apps appeared.
I figured this was caused by Android Assistant constantly causing restarts for T-Mobile (or other OEM) apps, and decided to uninstall AA. That way, I could gauge the difference in performance.
When I restarted my S7 I would CONSTANTLY get a stopped process error, which hung any sync and kept me from doing almost anything. The process was "android.acore..." something. Unfortunately, I did not write it down.
I reset the S7 and have not reinstalled AA or any 3rd party launchers since. Everything seems fine, but have only been using the S7 for a few hours. Anyone else have a similar problem?

I had a very odd experience with my tablet last night. After a few hours of non-use, I picked it up to begin reading. Went to adjust the brightness level and pulled down the settings bar. I noticed the bar was behaving strange, like as soon as I pulled down, it would snap right back up. There was also a flicker at the bottom of the shade. Unable to access anything there, I went into my app drawer to do something else. As soon as I went in, things got even stranger. Apps began opening themselves. Two games in particular, Gunman Clive and Lep's World 2. I would watch as the game opened by itself, then once inside the game, I would hit quit. The app, would immediately re-open.. This happened several times over. After the first app stopped doing that, it began opening the second app. Tried closing that one several times the same way and watched it re-open the same way. I decided to go further in Lep's World once it opened again. I watched as the character began jumping(but, not walking) on his own. Exited this app. Next my Kindle opened up the settings for LMT launcher on it's own. It did this same thing with these 3 apps, almost as if something(or someone) has compromised by tablet. I could physically see the buttons being pushed for these apps and it was not being pushed by my finger.
Fed up, I attempted to restart via Quickboot. Just as soon as I opened Quickboot, instead of me having a chance to pick one of the boot options, it would pick Hot Boot for me. This happened a couple of times, but finally I was able to do a full reboot. After the full reboot, My Kindle started up normally and there seems to be no sign of anything like this happening since.
Has anyone ever heard of anything like this before? Please tell me I'm not hacked. I'm running hashcode's CM 10 with Nova Launcher if that makes any difference.
Sounds like your digitizer went nuts

Try installing this app and enabling screen touches. At least then you can see where the Kindle is touching itself (as weird as that sounds:what: ). Just a thought.

I have a problem that's almost identical to something similar. My settings bar behaves strangely and I get the flicker at the bottom of the shade. My apps start behaving strangely. It seems to happen about once a week. I believe it happens after my apps have been automatically updated. To solve my problem I run Clean Master app and select the memory boost and junk folders tiles. After the cleaning the problem goes away until it happens again.
Was your device connected to a wall charger when misbehaving? With some power adaptors it detects more than a touch for every real touch, which could explain the weird behaviour you described.

I have had similar problems in the past and, odd as it may seem, my issue was a dirty screen. You see, I noticed that several "touches" were occurring on a particular area of the screen, the area taken up by the d pad in minecraft pe. I believe that the accumulation of fingerprints and skin oils was enough for the screen to recognize a touch. It still happens from time to time and always stops when I clean my screen. I've found that a little bit of purel and a soft napkin work great. Good luck!
My phone has recently developed this problem of constantly restarting apps while I'm in the middle of using them. It's not specific to any one app, I've had it happening with every app I've used today, like Twitter, Chrome, Shattered Pixel Dungeon, Quickpic...
I've read about the issue that Android System Webview is causing with this device and uninstalled that, but the issue persists, even after a few reboots and some time being completely shut off.
I haven't made any changes to my phone lately, but I have noticed that my battery has been draining more quickly than usual over the past couple days. I have not been using it any more than I usually do. I do use Clean Master, which I also tried uninstalling, but with no improvement.
My phone is completely stock. I have no problem rooting it if necessary, I just haven't had any reason to with this phone. I've been pretty satisfied with it until today.
Update: The screen will sometimes turn on by itself. Not to the home screen, just the lock screen.
I'm using a stock, rooted, manually debloated 5.1 system image that has incorporated some audio mods. Every once in a while, I'll notice that after waking my phone up, I'll get a redraw. I'm using the stock launcher. Here's what I've tried to get rid of them:
1. Just about everything you can think of involving the Google App (clear data, clear cache, uninstall and reinstall, etc.)
2. Switching to the Google Now launcher and back again.
3. Booting into safe mode and back again.
4. Reverting to the rom that doesn't have the audio mods that I implemented (at least I think I implemented them. I'm not sure how or if I can tell the difference).
5. Clearing cache from recovery about a million times.
Has anyone run into this problem and solved it?
The same behavior occurs on the Moto Maxx with 5.0.2. I was really hoping that it would have been fixed in 5.1.x.
I just flashed 5.1 the other day (using CF's image). I do get frequent redraws of the home screen and icons. I just installed Nova launcher thinking it was an issue with GNL.
I am seeing this on my Turbo since going to the OTA 5.1. with Nova. I don't seem to see it with Action Launcher 3 on the Turbo though. I also see it on my Nexus 7 2013 with 5.1.1 with Nova. Again I don't seem to see it with Action Launcher 3 on the Nexus.
I've noticed that it happens less and less frequently the longer I've been running this rom. Maybe it's just an android thing.
I did notice one thing.... I have turned off the google search bar that shows at the top of each screen by default. However every time I unlock the screen, it flashes the Google search box momentarily, then it disappears.
Also during phone calls, sometimes the bottom right part of the screen will flicker
I turned off Moto Display and the issue is completely gone. But I'm so used to unlocking my phone without having to use the power button that I really want it back
It is a Moto Display issue for sure. I have been experimenting lately and have discovered if I use only swipe for locking that once in a while when unlocking the phone I will have to do the android unlock after the Moto Display unlock. If I use smart lock associated with my Moto 360 watch those same times I'd get the second unlock I get a home screen redraw instead.
So come on Motorola - fix the problem! It is not just the Turbo/Maxx that has the problem. It is the Moto X etc as well.
Hey need some help 360photos app on my gear vr for s6 has gotten some extreme lag now with head movement and I have no Idea why? Only app that does it... well cinema does it slightly but 360photos is like I'm tripping hard on shrooms or drank a fifth of vodka and everytime I move my head it's like a blur till I stop my head and it focuses. Does it regardless of Internet connection (turned on airplane mode to see if it was a streaming issue).* Uninstalled 360photos and oculus home neither of which helped me. Only thing I've really tinkered with in the actual vr apps is sideloading downloaded videos into milkvr app. Most of which don't work now that I downloaded the latest update, for some reason. I didn't convert them when uploaded them onto s6 just copied them but still not sure why that would be an issue. Anyone else having this issue or is there anything that I can do to make it clear up the way it was when I bought it. Really don't want to have go through the bulls hit Hassel of resetting my phone. Help would be greatly appreciated thanks.
I have experienced this a few times with my S6. Both times turned out to cause by some third party app. First one was a sense 7 clock widget. After uninstalling, issue went away. Second time was after installing sygic gps. Your issue could very well be the same, some rouge app that was poorly written.

No I got it fixed would say that was it but havn't deleted any apps. I had to go into the dialer enter *#0*# brings up a menu, select scope ( I think, been a few days since I figured it out) and you have to run checks on gyroscope and manually calibarate compass.
So as of late my brand new device keeps having to refresh the home screen every time I exit an app.
Also apps that are open already always have to reload when going back into them from the recent apps menu.
It just started happening randomly. It's very annoying. I've done a hardware check on the device and everything passes. Samsung store also didn't find a hardware issue on the device.
I have 42GB of free storage space left. I only ever have 1-3 Apps open at the same time and I've done a hard reboot of the device.
Anyone else have this problem? What can I do?
Did you activate Developer Options", i.c. the one "Do not keep Activities"?
No
Think I may have fixed the issue. I cleared data in touchwiz home, and now my apps are staying in memory and home screen doesn't refresh.
Not sure what would be caused it or why it would've fixed it though?
?????...
If your home screen was reloading it sounds like a touchwiz or launcher glitch
Yeah but why would that have made my apps not stay in memory?
