Lately my phone is sluggish. When I open an app it is a delay of about a minute and when playing a game it constantly freezes and all apps give a pop up message of the app is not responding to wait or close the app. Is there any way to fix this?
My Moto Z3 Play started doing the same thing. I click on an app and it will take several minutes to register, all kinds of not responding messages (system ui not responding, etc). I tried a factory reset thinking it was a bad app I installed, but after the reset the phone it's still doing the same thing. My Z3 is basically unusable. The fact the phone is doing this even after a factory reset means the issue/bug is tied to a moto or google system app that's not going anywhere after the factory reset.
Edit: I even did a fresh install with a Moto stock rom via fastboot commands and the pre-installed moto and google apps are all freezing (waiting to respond error). This is definitely tied to the latest moto or google app update.

I have an unrooted Galaxy S5. A few days ago, I was using the phone (can't remember an app) when the phone froze completely for about 5 seconds and then restarted. Ever since it recovered, the phone has had all sorts of problems: app crashes (Chrome in particular), dropped calls, very slow performance, and very slow gallery and camera. I haven't installed any apps recently.
Does anyone know what would cause this? Am I correct in assuming that the only way to fix this is a factory reset?

I'm no expert, but usually a full factory reset helps Try wiping cache from recovery too, that could help. If all else fails then there's nothing (except a hard paperweight) that a reset can't fix

It's strange that so many unrelated things would stop working but they all sound software/OS related so the wipe will probably fix it. You could clear app data for a few separate apps & see if one is the culprit but it might be a deeper problem like play services or something.

I'll admit to some f.c. on apps but nothing to do with the system crashing. Maybe try a fresh flash through Odin and a factory reset before fullboot. Also towel rooted. And how bad does this locked bootloader suck.

Hi!
I have a XT1097 with 4.4.4 unrooted and with lock bootloader, so basically, I haven't touched the phone.
The first thing I did was to activate ART.
There are plenty of apps that are "forcing close" randomly. Some of them are "Spotlight" from Motorola (when I download some of the clips the app force closes and I have to open it again), Safer Taxi is another app, Amazon App is another.
I'm having this problems because I have activated ART? does anybody experiencing this kind of issues?
Cheers
I have the same phone and activated ART, the only thing I found that force closed for me was I sideloaded the lollipop keyboard, everything else seems to work although I don't use the apps you listed.
OK I'll try to make this short and to the point. I had returned my previous N6 because of spilt screen freezing issues. This replacement I have came with build 47M on it. I booted it up and immediately got a couple popups of Google play store and Google service force closes. Not worried about it cause I was going to use NRT to unlock, root, and flash a rom. That was a mistake cause then it was a continuous flow of random force closes of anything I tried using (messenger, chrome, Google services, and etc). Redownloading and reflashing to no avail so want a rom issue like I thought. Used NRT to flash stock, unroot, and relock back to 47M and OTA up to 28E. Still getting force closes of Google services and play store and even constant closes of the play store without the force close gump (it just disappears). So my question is wtf is going on? The N6 I had screen issues with didn't have any force close issues. I'm at a loss and beginning to think that my replacement needs a replacement. Anyone know how to help? I would love to root again or even enjoy this beautiful phone without crazy force closes..... Thanks in advance guys/gals!
Edit: Now just seconds after posting this I went to download some previous installed apps from the play store then I got riddled with a constant gapps force close and the phone rebooted itself. Now I am waiting for andriod to start apps like it would if you upgraded the OS.......

Return it as defective.
Hi,
My Z3C keeps giving me notifications such as 'Google Play Services Has Stopped'. It applies to almost all apps and the apps that stop working are every time different ones.
In addition, when I reboot or boot my phone it keeps optimising apps. I get the notification 'Application 1 of 170 optimising'. A reboot takes up 10 minutes or more.
I have done factory resets and also used Sony's pc companion, but no help.
I really hope one of you guys know how to fix this.
Thanks in advance.
edit: phone is original unrooted with 5.1.1
Is your phone encrypted?

I don't know exactly what you mean, but my phone is completely original with an OTA 5.1.1 update.
I've been running Lineage 13 for 6 months, but the phone mysteriously got into a boot loop yesterday, so I had clear the local data and re-install the apps from the Playstore
However I found that every time I installed the nRFToolbox app (by Nordic Semiconductors) (Who are a reputable company), that when the App installed, it crashed a load of internal OS services e.g. PlayServices and all sorts of Google services.
If I rebooted the phone it appeared to work OK, but if I went into the "Apps" in Settings, the phone hung again, and I had to reboot it.
I tried updating to the latest unofficial Lineage 13, but that didnt help, so I've now installed the official Lineage 14, and this seems to have solved the problem.
But I don't quite see how a single app can kill so many core services, and I prefer to stay on Android 6 (Lineage 13), because of XPosed and specifically XPrivacy.
(BTW. I know XPosed is now supposed to work on Android 7, but I didnt think XPrivacy will every get ported to work with the updated version of Xposed - at least according to the developer)
Does anyone have any insight into why this app can hang the phone
I don't know, why this APP makes your phone crash, but i had similar problems when installing greenifys latest app and two days ago, i updated some apps ending in bootloops.... I am using unofficial Lineage 13 with xposed and xprivacy too
I run stock OS but have this same issue when updating any big and heavy apps such as Snapchat, Google app and FB Messenger for the past 6 months at least. The app starts to update but then will crash in the installing phase often giving an error such as "503 can't be updated", at which point multiple Google services will crash endlessly the only way to stop the crash is hold down power to force the phone to reboot.
I have reset the phone several times but after setting up the phone and updating all the apps the first update to one of those apps the issue happens again (the app always installs from scratch ok it's only it's updates that cause it)
A sort of fix I have been using (because it doesn't 100% always work) is when you see an update for the app you know will cause the crash first update all the other apps manually leaving only the problem app, then close all apps go to Settings > Storage & USB > Internal storage and clear the Cached data, then power cycle the phone, let the phone boot and complete all it's background tasks it does after booting, then open Play Store and click Update on the offending app then put the phone down and leave it until the app either updates or causes the crashes. If this doesn't work then waiting 24 hours and doing the same steps seems to work.
I am certain it comes from either an app update (probably from Play services or the Play Store app) or maybe from having the phone encrypted which does make the phone run slower especially over time. (May or may not be related but I've noticed on my phone if I factory reset it then after setting it up and updating all the apps I try to encrypt the phone the phone will 'break' and will boot loop forcing a reset from the boot loader, however if I set up the phone, don't update any apps then encrypt it completes successfully, all the apps will then update ok and the phone then functions as you would expect)
All in all this issue is incredibly frustrating!
