Yellow,
I have a bit of a weird problem. Tried a lot of Google but didn't even really find the same problem..
What happens effects various apps differently, most notably (and annoyin) when browsing.
Uc browser crashes to homescreen, but all tabs are still there when I open it (although entered data is lost because the tabs are loaded from scratch. Total pain, saved this text 10 times so far and it crashed twice already.)
Dolphin closes all tabs but stays open, basically as if it was reopened except with no time delay, all tabs just vanish and thats it. chrome refreshes all tabs but they stay open.
Whatsapp stays open but the keyboard goes away mid writing. Tatanium backup reloads the apps and brings me back to the top. Sygic navigation crashes. All with no error messages. Just to give a few examples.
While not tested I'm sure calling crashes too, so this phone is almost unusable.
I already did a factory reset with twrp and restored a backup from a few month ago that worked perfectly fine, but the issue came back before installing any apps (!).
Rooted 4.1.1 with "blade elite v.1.1".
To me it feels like its just too much happening for the phone so it does weird app refreshes or whatever.
Any help greatly appreciated.... I'm in Malaysia right now with very limited access to computers, so if there's anything I could try on the phone itself...
Thanks a lot in advance!

been running cm7 rc1 all day with no problems. tried to use the browser a bit ago, and it just closed - no fc, nothing. try to reopen it, it starts to load the google.com home page, then just disappears.
i wiped cache/dalvik and rebooted. this let me open the browser. i turn it to landscape, and click the classic button on the bottom of the google.com home page, and the trouble starts again where i can't even open the browser until i reboot.
very strange and anoying!
Well, in my case, it turned out to be an overclocking issue. Had clk3 set at 68/1300 and while everything else appeared to be fine (include the stability test from SetVSel), the browser would flake out. The really strange thing is the way it was effecting the phone - no reboot or any other strange problems, but the browser just wouldn't open.
Anyways, throttled back to 1200 and all is well in CM7 RC1 land! Knock on wood...
I'm having this really weird issue with these two apps for a while. Basically I would keep getting connection error in the Play store or on Youtube every few minutes or so, then I would retry and everything would be back to normal. Odd thing is that I can have a browser open in a side window and go to google or any other website just fine while this issue happens. I'm not sure if there's more google apps affected. Hell one time it was so bad that Youtube refused to load for a good minute or so, I opened a pen window for the browser, loaded up the same youtube video in there and it started playing before the app even loaded it (kept giving me connection error).
I have Adblock Plus running in the background so I wonder if that's what's doing this..but it seems odd for it to affect these apps.
Any ideas to fix this?

I don't have Adblock but I have issues with YouTube App aswell. It works most of the time flawlessly but sometimes like you it seems to take to long to load so what I do is close the app fully then launch it again and it works fine, I also had another weird issue of whenever I played a video in full screen and changed the tablets orientation it would dim the brightness to 0% (even changing the screens brightness to 100% wouldn't cause the app to brighten up) and hoy a "small weird box with what looked like signal bars next to it", this hasn't happened the last few times I used the tablet but its just bizarre so deffo something is up with the App that's for sure.
Hi guys, I never posted here but am trying to find some help. I've had my S4 for quite a while now, and I just factory reset everything because I kept getting a "Unfortunately, the process android.process.acore has stopped." message that wouldn't go away or let me use my phone without an interruption literally every 2 seconds. But before I even had that problem, there were worse problems as well. There are two things that occur frequently:
1. Sometimes, when I tap on an icon, the indicator light shows up (a glow around the icon), but the app itself does not open. Then, if i tap on it repeatedly, nothing happens. I can temporarily fix this problem by opening up the recent/opened apps list (holding home button) and clearing everything (or clicking on that app if it had been opened). Once cleared, I can tap it again and it would open. As you might see, this can get very annoying and troublesome after doing it so many times. Is there anyway I can permanently fix this so that I don't need to keep clearing the open apps list?
2. Sometimes, when I unlock my screen, exit an app, press the home button, or clear the opened app list (as mentioned above), my wallpaper changes to an app. The app is usually random and sometimes is not one that I had opened. For example, the background of my messaging app or Astro File Manager would show up even if I had not recently opened it at all. I can also temporarily fix this by clearing the recent/opened apps list (as mentioned in #1). After clearing this, the wallpaper resets. Is there any way I can fix this permanently as well?
3. Snapchat and VSCO Cam constantly "stop unexpectedly". I don't know if this is a firmware or incompatibility issue, but it usually works fine. This message pops up once in a while and isn't too burdensome, but is still quite annoying.
Thank you for all the help in advance. I am trying to get the most out of my phone and appreciate any help.
Are you running stock or custom and has anything changed since you factory reset?

It's stock right now. Not rooted or anything at all. I didn't really change much of the device internally, only downloaded a couple of apps, but those have been working fine since the beginning. It is running Kit Kat, 4.4.2. I am currently using Nova Launcher as my home screen replacement.
I've been having an issue pretty much since I first started using my phone, whenever I open an app that is already in the memory it takes it quite a while to refresh its data and it kind of just hangs there until it refreshes.
So for example I have a stock trading app which whenever I open it up none of the data/prices update for a few seconds.
My Reddit app Reddit Is Fun does a similar thing when press on a post it takes ages for the comments to load up.
I have the adguard DNS in the background that I've tried turning off thinking that might be the cause but it makes no difference.
I've tried changing the performance settings from optimised to high performance etc nothing changed
The only other thing I can think of is maybe because I used smart switch to copy over my previous phone s8+ to this one it may have created this strange issue.
Is anyone else noticing anything similar to my issue?
TIA
No, I have not experienced anything of the sort, apps open at 1 to 2 seconds max, bit I have read some posts that describe some troubles when restoring data from another device, I have never done it, I prefer fresh starts

I agree with you that Smart Switch could be the culprit .....reason is , that on my
Note 9 ,i had this very similar issues , with apps taking ages to refresh etc ..
I also used Smart switch ,to copy my backup from my Note 8 to Note 9 .
I eventually did a factory reset and issue was solved .!!
Since then i do not use Smart Switch anymore .!
If i now transfer my apps ,data etc , re Samsung Cloud and Google combined .
Samsung cloud for my Samsung apps and settings
and Google for my Play store apps, emails ,contacts etc ...
So it's possible that apps ,data from Smart Switch was corrupted either , with the initial backup or re install .
So you have to decided ,if it's worth doing a factory reset ?
Keep in mind there could be another reason/culprit .... also .!
In my case Swatch Switch was the culprit..!
Further ,i have High Performance ,enabled on my Note 10 + ,
and similar to @ winol
I have no issues with apps opening .!!
I have in past , tested "recent apps " feature over and over.
Apps open 9 out of 10 times instantly ...no lag or refreshing etc ..!
Good luck .
Note....
i also , have Adguard install and yes ,it could be AdGuard ,
but for example ...... i had issues with Firefox, not
connecting to a link ...trying to connect etc etc ...
I turned Adguard setting , " off" for Firefox .
( Adguard /Apps Management/ FireFox )
Issue was solved re Firefox .
Thanks for the replies.
Apps open instantly but take a second or two to refresh.
Seems like the only culprit could be having used smart switch to port over from my s8+
Annoying thing is now doing a factory reset and setting up my phone from scratch feels like a complete nightmare lol
UK model, all up to date. Owned the phone for a month or so, super happy with it. One big problem - the Chrome browser freezes in use two or three times a day. This is a proper freeze, not just a delay loading - the whole phone display is unresponsive. Nav buttons don't work, can't do anything at all for up to 10 seconds. (Apart from the power button to close the display, but the freeze remains)
Have tried clearing Chrome cache and also the phone cache with no improvement. Suggestions appreciated.
Another browser :good:
Hah! I was hoping to avoid that, but it probably makes sense.
Lol yeah, my 'recommendation' was really because I very rarely use Chrome, on rooted devices in the past I've always deleted it. My preferred browser is Yandex, sometimes using the stock Huawei browser for a change.
