Just received this SGN2 a few days ago. It's on Sprint and is running stock 4.1.2 and was never rooted or had any recoveries installed to it. I did a factory reset and installed my apps.
Whenever I get an email in the default Gmail app, I usually pull down the notification and tap it. Since I have box installed, it prompts me to choose the app I want to use to open the email. If I tap on Gmail and select just once everything works fine, but if I select Gmail then select always, my phone restarts(Boot animation etc...).
Has anyone encountered this at all or knows of a way to fix this? I'm thinking I should most likely go into stock recovery and clear cache or something. Don't know how that's going to help since this happened from a clean install.
Also, I have horrible battery life. WIFI off, BT off, 4G off(running 3G only), no S-pen detection, brightness on low, full cylce charge, but I still can't get the phone to output more than 7 to 8 hours of use. I don't think that I am such a power user. LOL. Will for find some other threads discussing about battery life on this thing.

As my title states, no idea what happened to my settings menu.
I'm "stock" rooted. (Did it back in December with odin flash - 4.3)
Firewalled, Greenified, and TitaniumBackup to Freeze useless apps.
Everything has been great, then all of a sudden I was getting 3 errrors.
Google Text to Speech, Maps and Settings all quit working. (The whole, unfortunately *blank* has stopped working)
I removed Text to Speech, but Settings still crashes and refuses to work and now Maps took it's place (T2S).
Removed Maps and still Settings does not work and will randomly crash in the background.
I have done nothing new from what I described I have already done above.
Nothing was newly frozen. I have never uninstall any stock apps, just freeze them.
Last thing I uninstalled was a GoSMS theme I no longer use. Uninstalled it through ROM Toolbox Pro as I saw it was running in the background.
Everything else appears to be working fine. Camera, Chrome, Texting, Calling and my various daily apps.
Just something with the settings "app" has gone all wrong.
It also appears it's not the entire settings. Like if I go to about phone, it's all good. If I go to display part of the settings, *crash*
Two other odd issues pertaining to this as well:
My assistive light widget no longer works. So I know this happened within a 24 hour period as I use that light nearly every day.
And when you get into the settings part of the phone, all the text / font is screwed up. (Pic attached to see what I'm talking about)
Assistive light widget shows the same messed up text as well.
Data corruption. It will spread. The easiest and most successful solution is to wipe data, system, cache, and Dalvik cache, then re-flash the stock firmware, then re-root.
If you don't want it that successful you can do the wipes and restore a backup, but there is always a chance that there was corruption saved in the last backup and in a few days it will be as it is now.
What caused the corruption? It could be anything from a bad USB cable to a nearby flash of lightening, but more likely it's whatever you do that you need root for.

I would believe that was the issue if it was more wide spread.
Or I was having stability issues in daily usage.
The phone only gets charged via usb, I have not hooked it up to a computer for some time.
No storms or surges recently either.
As far as root usings, nothing has changed or updated recently. And none of what I do hard changes anything.
Reflash. Much faster and easier than wracking your brain trying to track down what exactly little thing went wrong.
Hi guys.
So I was on Jellykat ROM for few months and everything was working fine. Thanks to the developer for this awesome ROM.
Few weeks ago, my Note 2 got sudden lag after 7-8 hours of uptime.
1-When I'm on Whatsapp, I cant bring the keyboard up.
2-When I pressed the home key, its seem like the Touchwiz was reboot, take time to load the widget, shortcuts and folders. (2-3 seconds)
3-I cant go to dialer screen, when I pressed phone icon, its goes back to the home screen.
All of this problems can be solved by rebooting the phone but I want to know what causing them? Before this it was OK. Anything I need to clear/wipe?
Additional problem (non-lag issue)
1-When I'm on mobile data, the messsages I received from whatsapp are always delayed. Data roaming is enabled.
2-When apps asking for reboot and I pressed Yes, nothing happen, I need to reboot manually. (SuperSU update asking for reboot)
Thanks. Sorry for my English.
Bring up my post.
Still looking for solution.
Also I cant get my Walkman apps work anymore..
BUMP.
I've got a Sprint L710 running 4.4.2 NJ2 and rooted. Sometime in the past few weeks I stopped getting notified when the screen is dark. Once I press the power button and the screen lights up, within a few seconds apps appear to "sync" and I hear the various notification tones. The majority of the time the phone is in airplane mode with wifi on. From settings -> wifi -> advanced, I do have Keep Wifi on during sleep ("Always" selected). Apps which exhibit this usage are Gmail, Google Voice, Whatsapp, etc. If I go to Data Usage (when under wifi), I do have Auto Sync data turned on. I've spent a fair amount of time googling to no avail and other than starting from scratch, I'm not sure what else to try. I've not changed any settings from the time this worked (under ND8). Any suggestions would be very greatly appreciated.

did it stop because of NJ2 or did it randomly stop?
I wish I could say for sure it was the NJ2 "upgrade" which broke it, but I can't swear to it. However, I'm fairly certain it has never worked with NJ2. Earlier today, I Odined NJ2 again. I then Odined Philz and got Philz to give me root access. I then wiped the cache and the Dalvik cache from Philz. Problem still exists.
I followed the same process when I moved from ND8 to NJ2. I didn't do anything to my apps - they all were still there (presumably data was untouched). I'm a noob of sorts. Should I have done something else migrating from ND8 to NJ2?
Lately (last week or so) sometimes when I unlock my phone Google+ is running with just a black screen and I have to hit the home button to close out. I wake phone to see a Google+ at the top of an otherwise black screen. I never even open G+ so this has been frustrating. Anyone else seeing this? I don't want to uninstall because I use it for photo editing
Are you rooted? I'm having the same problem and it's driving me nuts. I'm running a log right now in case it does it again to see exactly what's going on

Are you running in battery save mode at all? also what rom are you on? aosp or stock based?
ive noticed some apps have strange artifacts on battery save mode for aosp > i.e. lollipop L launcher. panels disappear from the app drawer (due to an animation im guessing)
I'm running battery save mode at 30%. Rooted since day 1 but stock ROM
The same thing has been happening to me but only after I charge it, and every time I charge it. I started noticing it about 2 or 3 weeks ago. The first, or one of the first, times it happened it froze the phone and I could not do a soft or hard reboot, had to remove the battery.
I have a T-Mobile G3 (D851) not rooted, stock Tmobile Kitkat 4.4.2, no battery saver.
My phone is tied to my gmail account so I'm guessing this behavior might be related to some type of auto-backup/sync. Still trying to figure out what service though.
same issue
I have the same problem. I was rooted at one point but unrooted before i updated to lollipop so now i am only on stock. I also have battery saver one, 15% i think. I know if i just charge it for a bit it doesn't happen so it has something to do with it charging for a while
I've had the LG G3 through Sprint since last September. All was fine and great with it with Android 4.4.2. Ever since the 5.0.1 upgrade I've had some pretty consistent issues.
1. Laggy on the home screen - hitting home means maybe 2-3 full seconds of blank screen before the icons populate and the screen returns to the designated home screen as opposed to where it was when I entered an app.
2. It destroys app processing VERY quickly - too aggressively. What is the point of 'multitasking' if I leave a game/app to respond to a text or gchat and use the menu/multitasking menu to get back to that game/app and it restarts it like I hadn't been JUST USING IT.
3. ALL BROWSERS on the phone sometimes ***** to me that they can't connect to a Proxy Server. Really? I'm not set up for proxying ANYWHERE. There's also no config to specify that or to specifically turn it on or off.
4. My LTE/3G sucks now. It will consistently downgrade to 3G or just drop all connections. Turning off/on mobile data or doing restarts only sometimes fixes it. I take the Metra to work (above ground train) and before the upgrade I didn't have these issues. I'm also having this issue RIGHT NOW and I'm on the wifi at work. It won't connect.
5. Smart Cleaning doesn't work. It grinds for a minute and then pops me over to the main screen or to the multitasking screen. WTF?
It also takes a while to restart. And I've done all the System Updates (PRL, profile, firmware etc).
What I have NOT done is a factory reset - I just don't want to go through the hassle of that if I don't have to. Though I'm certainly open to the suggestion if it'll solve problems for me. I'm just not understanding if that would work if there's some underlying software/antenna/connection issues.
PLEASE - suggestions are very welcome! I'm very frustrated with this phone. I wish I'd rooted at 4.4.2 and gone with a custom ROM.
TL;DR version
Having laggy issues - what does a Factory Reset gain me in this circumstance? Will it actually fix these kinds of issues? (see above message)
I was having the same exact issues. I finally bit the dust and did a factory reset and it's running 200% smoother now.
