After the ICS update on my non-rooted phone, the phone seems to be freezing
up and becoming unresponsive. After a while it looks like the radio "resets", all
the icons disappear in the top bar (signal, wifi, data) and it shows no service.
Then slowly one by one they all come back and I can use the phone again.
Sometimes I receive the "System is not responding" dialog box, but not always.
There is not one particular program it is doing this in, it can be something as
simple as pulling down the notification bar that will cause the freeze.
Any suggestions are appreciated, I couldn't find anyone else with the same issue.
Thanks.
Try:
Turn off phone
Take out SIM
Put SIM back
Turn on
I've had my phone act weird with respect to signal, wifi and data when this was the issue. Worth a shot, at the very least.

Thank you for the response.
Tried this and had the system is unresponsive issue right on reboot. If I do a
factory reset, does it reset to the current firmware or what was originally on the
phone (probably a really stupid question). I wonder if some other program isn't
ICS compatible and is doing something in the background. Doesn't look like
anyone else is having this same issue.

If you do a factory reset and it was the standard Kies legit update from Tmo, it won't downgrade your phone - will just re-install a fresh copy of your ICS. Did you do a restore of apps from your last version (gb?) with data? That could cause problems I would think..

Yes I did the legit update on Kies, standard stock phone un-rooted.
Do I need to backup pictures before the reset, its been a while since
I had to do this.
At this point, I think its worth a try to wipe it clean and clear out all the
data.

wipe the dalvik cache and cache then reboot
I did a factory reset and that solved the issue.
Thanks for all the assistance.
I've done a factory reset and wiped the cache more than once already and i still get a force close or unresponsive, enough that its really irritating me now. Any advice? And also, when texting, the typing responds very slow.

Are you letting it sit for like 10 minutes during first boot after factory reset then reboot again before setting up. Its likely that some scripts are running from the initial installation and you need to let it rot until its done..
I did exactly that, thanks for the advice. Hoping that may fix the problem. I wiped the cache and factory reset, then let the phone sit for a good while before going through the play store and re-installing everything.
This issue just resurfaced again. The last 2 days I am getting the freezing, radio reboot and android process not responding.
No one else having this issue?
I think I'm in the same boat. I was stock GB, and just did the mini OTA update (which was great). A few days later ICS became available via Kies from T-Mobile, and I "upgraded".
Since the upgrade my phone is laggy, screen is significantly less responsive and also my battery life is less than before.
I have NOT done a factory reset of my phone yes (plan on doing that today), but even with that I have read that performance does not improve.
Ideally, I would love to return back to the stock tmobile gb firmware. However, even after literally 2 hours of reading I can't find the "how-to" and files I need.
I would appreciate any assistance.
t989 chip lags
ive notice this happen on my tmobile galaxy s2. i think it has to do with the Qualcomm chip on tmobiles stock roms.
When i had sprint i bought my girlfriend a galaxy s2 on the sprint network which runs the samsung exynos chip. She never complained about any lag or freezing whatsoever. I then left sprint because of their garbage network and joined tmobile.
bought 2 galaxy s2s and i noticed the lag almost immediately. The phone has random lag spikes as well as freezing and force closes. It had it on stock gingerbread and it has it on stock ICS too.
My girlfriend complains about freezing all the time so i decided to root her phone too. Right now im testing DarkSides v7 rom and if its pretty good in performance i will flash her phone with it too. So far it has been pretty snappy and everything works.

follow that first post. i went through exactly the same problems and found this guide and am now happy again and running stock GB on my Galaxy S2.
Because you are on stock ics (im guessing you are..), you can just follow that guide and flash the UVLDE update.
Yes clock resets to standard standard time.. I already did a factory reset and worked done for a couple weeks. My wife has same phone and she is getting the freeze ups now.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll give it a try. But it really shouldn't be necessary on a phone that's got more going for it than the stock nexus that 1st came out with ics.
There's something else going on.

I'm using All-In-One Toolbox to control what boots at startup but it still times it at 1:58. The only thing I can think of is that HTC Service Pack. However, that's just a wild guess. I'm using Nova Launcher and on Verizon. I have pretty much the same setup on a Note 3 with T-Mobile and that startup time is just under 1 minute. Any ideas? I'd hate to have to start disabling everything or worse, reset the phone since I don't know what's slowing it down.
Thank you

Well, are you on 4.4.3 firmware ? I'm on 4.4.3 . I noticed a bit longer restart times. Whats your restart time ? Measure it with a stopwatch.
I'm on 4.4.2. I'm using all in one Toolbox which puts up a notification showing the total startup time. My Note 3 is showing a startup time of half my M8.
Well, I calculated my restart time. It took (34+- 1) seconds, to restart. What's yours ?
So I got the S6Edge and its suppose to be lag free most of the time, but mine lags when typing and sometimes misses letters I type, also the touchwiz launcher sometimes freezes and switching apps lag and stutter, google chrome and the Samsung browser aren't smooth at all, they suffer from freeze and lag, what can I do?
Will flashing stock firmware remove lag?
Start ing to regret this phone, I paid $1000 for it and there's lag..
Yes thats what im thinking also, this supposed to bw the fastest phone amd t still lags . I had the Nexus 6 , Moto 2014 and the Htc m8 all of them with zero lag. From Galaxy s6 edge I take out the camera and everything else is a fail.
I don't have these issues. I would go ahead and start fresh.

I have no lag or stutter at all. I'm rooted.
The only issue is a not so good battery life but it's been fixed by using airplane mode at home where I literally have no signal and depend on WiFi calling anyway.
If you had to update via OTA then I suggest you re-flash the stock ROM as that doesn't seem to have issues while the OTA might have introduced a few

Yeah mine does it too. I'm very close to returning my phone. I have gone through two so far, my third one will be delivered today. If this has stutter as well along with GPS issues, I'm done. I have less than 7 days left in my buyers remorse period. So It is now or never.
I may try the M9, but I honestly think I'm just gonna use my iPhone 6 until the Nexus 2015 or Note 5 is available.

I was in your boat too. Try the suggestion above. There is something with the update they pushed that is not only killing the battery but makes the entire phone lag. Follow the thread posted above and clear cache and do a full reset. I was literally going to go get an M9 2 days ago before I did this. Entirely different phone now. I got 15 hours today with over 4 hours screen on time and zero lag.

Okay cool I'll give it a try. On another note though it appears to have been hardware issues. My GPS was broken so it kept seeking location which dropped my battery way down. It also just couldn't find my location. I have cleared cache and done all that jazz with it and even used GPS Fix to no avail. So far this new replacement seems to be doing the job.
I'll take a look at not doing the OTA.

You should do the ota, but then clear cache and reset to factory afterwards.

Just to clarify once you do the ota update you will want to power off the phone and then hold the volume up + home button + power button. Once booted into clear cache and then do a factory reset.

Just my two cents, I think this is a memory leak issue. I've seen the phone start to get bogged down but with a quick restart, the smoothness returns as it should. I'm hoping that 5.1 will fix this memory leak.
If all else fails try this.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3079176
Helped clear up a lot of things for many people. My main issue was fast battery drain. Seems to be a lot better now. I'm a pretty heavy user so this helped me.
I would go ahead and start fresh.

Mine starts to lag after a couple weeks to a month from last factory reset. Factory reset. Smooth for a couple weeks to a month. I have no idea why, but it's aggravating.
Same issue here. I factory reset once a month just to keep me from throwing it out the window.

LOL.. that's funny way of saying
I will add this: since I turned HD voice off, the phone overall is working better. I suspect the unstable connection may have been utilizing more resources or something. However, it starts to freak out gaming because it gets HOT. That's why, in my truck, I play games (sitting still) I keep an AC vent aimed at it. Someone needs to invent a fan case...

I agree. This is an OS issue (memory leaks, generally crappy code), not a what-apps-are-running issue.
5.1.1 seems to have fixed this. The UI response is MUCH crisper now, more than you'd experience from simply clearing cache(s), re-indexing databases or factory resetting the device.
5.1.1 has removed ALL lag for me. No exaggeration. I use my GPS for several hours a day on average, play Injustice: GAU on and off for God knows how long. Zero lag, and no funky FC on Injustice. Can even use recent apps hop to date/time settings to employ that little "energy" hack. No hesitation. Instant. Even camera loads faster--not quite instantly, but MUCH faster than before for me. From launching Injustice to actually getting to play has moved up from 90-180 seconds (SRSLY) to 30-60 seconds!
I used the OK1 tar through ODIN, then did a factory reset then took the 6.0.1 update. Yesterday I got probably 2 random reboots and now this morning I have had 4 one after another probably 5 minutes apart from each other. I am using the I heart radio app to listen to a local radio show and the phone keeps rebooting. I thought maybe it was the app causing this so I uninstalled and reinstalled it and the phone keeps rebooting. I recently purchased a replacement Anker battery and have been using it for a week now with no issues. Anyone have something similar like this happening? Anyway to fix this besides the obvious wipe everything clean and try again?
EDIT: It's the app, others are reporting the same issue with newer phones running Marshmallow.

Rooted? Are you seeing a pop-up for the reboot (prompt)? Screenshots or logs?
How did you upgrade to marshmallow? What update are you on? What ROM are you running? Custom kernel? If rooted stock with custom kernel, have you fully removed ItsOn and Knox? Did you wipe or factory reset? Include your steps to get an idea of what is causing the reboot issue.
(If stock un-rooted, you may have some residual data from Lollipop. If rooted with custom kernel, you may have files from ItsOn or Knox causing issues. Basically, un-rooted and rooted have their own set of concerns. Need more info to offer suggestions.)

Best description I can give is that at night when my nighclock is on. ...
the light on back and menu button will come on...
simultaneously the my note edge message will flash on the edge replacing the night clock for a few seconds (this is the background soft reset I think)...
the phone is not functional for these few seconds ie if i press a button to wake screen up then it will wait and hi locker won't let fingerprint work after this happens.
Rinse and repeat every few minutes.

Not an answer but how many of these applications you mention are third party applications?
Typically, lock-screen is only available a few seconds and screen is forced off; deep sleep may eventually occur but you have only a small amount of control to prevent deep sleep; that's usually a good thing. These apps may not be remaining fully functional when conflict results in screen going off unexpectedly or deep sleep trying to save your battery kicks in.
Dunno what compatibility is expected with multiple apps active while trying to keep lock-screen on or wake frequently? My use of lock-screen apps is limited to my third party alarm. I'm happy that it wakes to alarm; I can snooze and allow screen to go off quickly and wake for snooze until I dismiss the alarm (without having to unlock screen). That's about all I'm familiar with lock-screen applications.
My only suggestion would be to try to limit the third party apps used in lock-screen mode to find the maximum compatibility. Dunno, if those are third party applications conflicting, it's just a guess.
Maybe one or more of these applications aren't fully compatible with marshmallow?
On the subject of waking phone being slow, I think it was reported by non rooted users that factory reset cured that for some users. It's possible that if phone wasn't factory reset coming to Marshmallow from Lollipop, that factory resetting now would help.
