Phone locking up - Sprint Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

It's been a little while since I've been on the forum, so I apologize in advance if I say anything wrong or miss anything here.
I haven't needed to root in about a year, since getting my note 4,but all of a sudden, about 2 weeks ago, the phone starts freezing up seemingly randomly. Sometimes it will reboot randomly as well. Figured that it needed a wipe, so I rooted but kept stock rom and went with it. I rooted with the method here for the latest sprint update, and for a day everything was fine. So, I decided to swap Rom for the Sprint Hybrid 3.0 rom, and for a few days, again, everything was fine. Now, it's doing it again. This makes me wonder if it's an app issue. I installed alogcat and am waiting on it to happen again. Last time it happened, lots of "D/ViewRootImpl( 6623): ViewPostImeInputStage ACTION_DOWN" shows up.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you all in advance.

Attached is the logcat

The same thing is happening to my note 4. It just started just last Wednesday though. I did the same thing you did, rooted and flashed hybrid. I get the same symptoms as you. Man i hope someone can figure this out.

I thought it was the update at first, but it's been a bit since I took it

ViewPostImeInputStage ACTION_DOWN is usually an app problem. It occurs (intermittently and unpredictably) when an app's view layout doesn't work and starts rejecting touch input events.
So it's possible some app is failing. You might want to disable apps that start up automatically and see if you can pin down a misbehaving app. Of course, if it's not a misbehaving app, that won't do you any good. But that's all I can think of.
I can't tell from your log which app might be triggering the problem.

Same exact issue here. It just popped up middle of last week. I was running Alliance v4 with bob7 baseband. I wiped and went to 5.1.1 with the new OG5 baseband using the tx_dbs_tx method. I have clean flashed 5 different times since. The trouble persisted. Phone will react slow, crash to the desktop (nova launcher) or just reboot. Sometimes it won't even reboot, it gets stuck and I have to pull the battery. Very annoying. Maybe we should compare installed apps?

Well, is there a way to quickly generate a list of apps, and which ones start up at boot?

Actually, I found a way. Hopefully this isn't awful

I believe I've narrowed it down to these apps. Used a start up program that prevent some programs from starting.

Does your phone reboot normally when you do a reboot? Half the time mine won't and I have to pull the battery. I got tired of dealing with it and I think it's hardware so I spent my 2 hours at the sprint store while the tech blew canned air in my phone and said it was fine. Then I tried to reboot it right in front of him and it hung until I pulled the battery. Replacement phone is now ordered.

Normally, it does reboot fine. Sometimes it doesn't, like the 14 in a row mine did, but since I stopping the apps, I haven't had an issue

I odined mine to bare bones stock 5.1.1 og5 official. Installed no apps. Random reboot happened in no time flat. Phone still wouldn't reboot half the time, or it would go to a random error screen in download mode for no reason. I think my hardware is junk, bad flash memory.

Ouch. Yeah, might be the same issue, just worse. It might not be an app, jut a full memory issue. And if yours just happens to me worse, then Nothing we do will have much affect. I hope more people start experiencing this.

Looks like this was a bandaid. It still locks up, but it happens less frequently, especially if I reboot a few times.
So, it's not an app. I almost want to buy an app to make my SD card ram...

If you have the esrp sprint insurance just take it to the sprint store and make them replace it. Sounds like the same junk hardware issue I have. I'm still waiting on the replacement.

I don't. But I did add the upgrade early option. Maybe I'll just swap into another 4. I'll have to ask though. No contracts mean I'm having to finance this junk.

It sounds like a bad SD card to me. Remove your SD card and reboot and see if you still have problems.

Was having the same issue, I factory reset my phone, then the next day the same thing started happening. I barely had any extra apps. Sometimes after restarting, my phone would go into downloading mode, at one point it rebooted into a screen that said kernel panic mode. Took it to the Sprint store, it froze up as the tech was using it thankfully, so he ordered me a replacement through my TEP coverage. The entire time I did not have an SD card inserted either.

AT&T FamilyMap 2.0
AT&T Hot Spots 0.955
AT&T Navigator 1.0

I'm using ADW Launcher EX instead of the regular launcher, and post-reboot Auto Killer Memory Optimizer shows me at about just over 500MB free RAM. Plus the app drawer is cleaner and the phone feels a little snappier
(No, I'm not using this app to kill apps, just to get a report on Services/Processes/RAM.)
(Yes, I realize that number will go down as things get cached, etc. - but I needed something regular to measure against)
I also freezed:

P.S.
The AT&T Hot Spots are useful if you have hotspots around (airports, starbucks, mcdonalds, etc), plus connecting to WiFi saves battery ALOT.

it supposedly tells you the city name of the caller, and my understanding it's a trial app.

I didn't replace it with anything. Att Address book simply adds list of ATT phone numbers to your address book

the only issue with this setup is that you are not in control how often google checks your 6 other accounts, it could be 5 minutes, could be 50.
I prefer push mail, which Nitro lacks of by default unless it's exchange mail.

safe to freeze?

It's probably the stock Launcher. Which means it is ONLY safe to freeze IF you have another launcher installed that is stable. Otherwise on boot you're going to be in a lot of trouble.

thank you!
A word of warning about freezing att address book. If you freeze it, you may not be able to add contacts from the phone (i am speaking from my personal experience, if someone could confirm that would be great), even if you do even have any contacts with att address book. I think it is integrated in and breaks something in the stock contacts app that freezes the whole process because when I try to add contacts it freezes on a gray screen. When I unfreeze the app, adding contacts works again.
figured i'd bump this with an update.
IMO, freezing all this shiz has done more for perf and batt life than Juice Defender or Ram manager.

That's in addition to deleting all the available apps ATT lets us delete. family finder, etc.
Sorry guys, noob here, but I thought I should add my feedback to this list - I froze nearly every app listed here, (except for a few that I use, like calculator) had setCPU installed, and my phone is now acting really laggy. I'm not really sure what to attribute this to. The root? Frozen apps? I uninstalled SetCPU and tried to defrost the apps I had frozen (both with a batch and individually), but it won't let me. I tried making a copy of the frozen app, then deleting, then re-installing the copied version (suggested on another XDA thread), but that does not work. It just hangs when deleting as well. Can someone else verify that Titanium Backup is defrosting / deleting / restoring as expected on the Nitro?
Another weird side effect is that my internal storage says its almost full, which is crazy considering I never installed a new app after freezing those apps, and last time I checked I had plenty of space. Is it possible for Titanium Backup to be caching somewhere other than the SD? It's pretty weird. I really don't have many apps installed. Also (and perhaps this is due to the low system space, or specifically attributed to a frozen app) But my video playback is crazy laggy now.
Just thought I would post this to see if anyone else is getting weirdness after freezing apps.
setcpu caused similar issues on my phone. i uninstalled it and no more problems
I just factory reset (which I never did after root) and reinstalled setCPU and its working great. I even tested the HD videos again and they are now running smooth. Still a bit scared to start freezing apps again. For now I've just hidden them in launcher pro. Out of sight, out of mind I guess.

I had issues unfreezing Address Book which I did initially without thinking. After I froze it and realized you couldn't add contacts I tried unfreezing it. However, it wasn't on my list of frozen apps or backed up apps. I had to to a factory reset to bring it all back.
So far I haven't had any problems freezing/unfreezing, yet I did not play with many unfreezing apps. However I did notice on some backups (especially if they came from different phone), TB would freeze during restore, but in most cases it turned out to be due to dev mode disabled in the settings (thanks LG for disabling it for us each time we use any options other then "PC connect" when phone connected to PC). So as long as I have dev mode enabled, I don't recall having any problems with TB.
Speaking of SetCPU, I also noticed lagginess with default settings, but it mostly only visible right after reboot. After phone been used for a while it's smooth as iPhone (ok, almost...ok, not really, but close).
This also make me think, that Nitro by default keeps CPU at 1.5ghz at all times, it would explain lagginess if it has to jump from 192mhz to 1.5ghz as per SetCPU default. Maybe if you set min and max to 1.5ghz will it still be more laggy then with no SetCPU?

More lag AFTER rooting and debloating?

This may be purely placebo... But I swear that after I rooted and got rid of a bunch of bloat last night that I am seeing more lag than ever. Seems sometimes it take longer for the tablet to wake. Ill press something and there will be a delay etc... Is there a possibility that something I did is causing a service to use more resources?

Also, I can't use Sumsung Hub Video's, the existing videos I have won't play.
The only other Mods I have done are Multi-window manager, Wanam Xposed, Pen Window mamanger and trying out GMD Gestures.
Watching the Task Manager, it seems like I am using way more memeory than I ever used to. Before I would harldy go over 2GB now I easily see 2.3-2.5GB.
Please let me know if you have suggestions.
Thanks!

You may want to get betterbatterystats to see what services are keeping the tab running. Also, use Greenify to control the apps you don't want to autostart or keep running after you have gone back to homescreen. I haven't rooted mine yet, but thats what I use on my other tablets and phones. You could also try clearing cache and dalvik cache, and maybe doing fix permissions. But I again not sure if it will work out.
I get no lag whatsoever and im not rooted as I don't Like what Samsung has done with the knox security, the thing that has made the biggest difference for me is replacing the TW launcher with Nova Prime, I don't think the bloat ware makes such a big difference to this as it has such a large amount of ram, it's pretty hard to slow it down now
If I could now sort out the massive battery drain I'd be extremely happy with my purchase

Every time I have a lag, it's either bad file or bad app. I use System Panel in these cases to identify the problem. Last week my tablet was slow and hot all the time. For some reason Beautiful Widgets was using 100% of CPU for hours. Another example is a bad file (pdf or epub), search index was running non - stop until I found the problem.

OK cool I will check out System Panel. I did notice that I think GMD Gestures was causing some slowness. As much as I liked the program I uninstalled it. There was some weird bugs with it and a lot of times it would interfere with other things with the note, like disabling the palm rejection for writing and stuff.
If you are rooted, is there a good way to disable the indexing services?
I'm not sure, but i see smooth after root and remove bloat app. Did you set live wallpaper? Some live wall not optimizer make lag when use.
I had beautiful widgets pro installed while rooted and the device headed up like crazy and lagged. Could be app related

No live wallpaper, I hate them, resource HOG.
Maybe I am just being overly picky with how I think the tablet should run. I just think that at this point in the game of Android development and the crazy hardware specs that are being crammed into these devices now, that everything should run super smooth with no stutters or hitches. It's just disappointing to me that I have to hack and mod my device this much just to make it even just marginally better... Why can't this stuff be better optimized??!!!!

You can disable it by going to /system/app, and renaming, or deleting "ContentSearch.apk". But, if you do, your tablet will no longer index files that you add or change. For example, if you add a video, movie, or music, to the internal or external storage, the tablet won't know anything has changed, and won't be able to find the added file.
I would advise against disabling the index service. A better option would be to find the file that's causing your issue. This may help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2483944

OS 4.6.1 vs 3.6.8(unlocked GSM 32gig)

Fire OS 4.6.1 on unlocked GSM 32gig Fire Phone
Notable changes,
Finally we have native wallpaper support
Different slightly improved lock screen notifications
Smart dialer
Ability to switch default SMS/MMS and Keyboard apps
New Dev. Options
Ability to force quit and(or) Disable bloatware apps
Widgets seem to be working well
More detailed settings for Low Motion/Dynamic perspective(specifically for lockscreen, homescreen, and maps)
Google maps is now seemingly 100% functional
Ability to toggle switch cellular data(2g,3g,LTE)
Google Play and GAPPs still working well
Also we now have a bluetooth keyboard config. in our settings
New Emoticons
Status bar is semi-transparent and looks really nice despite lack of persistent icon notifications
Addition of print services pack(HP, Canon, Epson)
Updated Sounds and Notifications settings(
Things that sadly remained the same
No status bar notifications
Cannot individually clear calls or messages from carousel
Still not native android
Notifications seem hit and miss as usual
No Graphical updates or graphical setting in stock message or dialer apps
Camera seems to be the same and I'm still having having better luck with the google camera
App drawer functions the same(new options in app info though)
Overall function of the O.S. seems to improve a lot. Smooth scrolling through the carousel, less if not no lag at all on sleep/wake, and just all in all more pleasing to look at.
I updated manually by downloading the .bin and moving it to the home folder and searching for update with wifi/data off, and because of that I am unsure if the new att bloatware apps were part of the update due to my carrier or if they were packaged inside the update bin which was a shocking 1.3gb. Even though I am fairly certain that those apps are my fault in the first place I feel the need to warn that the U.S. att .bin file could have that affect and unlocked users may want to wait for the OTA just to play it safe. There is however a great guide on here explaining the process and linking quite a few files(for those who can't wait).
**This did work for me however if it does not work for you I am not at fault, sideload at your own risk**
Feel free to add what you find I know I missed a few things but since there is no apparent changelog from amazon I figured I'd try to compile a small unofficial changelog of sorts.
Tried Towelroot Its been hung at the towelroot screen with a highlighted "make it rain" button for about ten mins... I'm going to leave it running for a while and see if anything happens but I'm assuming its still a no go.
I've seen issues regarding call audio, google services and a few other things but I personally haven't been able to recreate them and fortunately haven't had them in the first place.
Camera seems faster in taking photos for me. Also there is an auto HDR setting, before it was either on or off.

So, matsnackson do you think that is better to install (sideload) the Google-Camera APP, and used it instead of the default Amazon Camera APP?
Could you please, let us know what differences or improvements do you have noticed, if you use the Google Camara APP instead of the Amazon one?

- Chooseable colors for mail accounts and calendars, but there aren't too much colors to choose to.

After this any sideloaded google apps start hanging with white screen and circle clock running. Uninstall and install after factory resets also did not help.

I've been using the stock camera app for a few days and it seems to be better than I first thought but I still prefer the google camera app, but at this point it seems to be my personal preference... I really just feel more comfortable with the google camera app.(long time nexus user)
I have seen quite a few people with the google play issues and I tried removing then reloading google services and google play but i havent had any issues the only advice i can give is to remove and try again making sure to pay close attention to the order you install the packages(there is a specific order, and a few great guides on here)
The LG watch seems to be common issue as well but I don’t have one to test with, I'll look into buying one and see what I can do. Until then the only advice I have is to unpair the watch and your phone and reboot before attemting to repair the two. Good luck and sorry.

I'll third this. I feel like Amazon is intentionally crippling Google services, and I've already ordered a replacement phone.
These are services that run fine on what, 99% of Android phones?

Honestly I don't think this is intentionally being done by either side, we run an outdated version of android so naturally were going to see at least a few compatibility issues, have you tried a factory reset and full reload of play services in order? Also be patient with 4.6.1 from everything I've read its not technically official on the unlocked phones yet.

I'm looking forward to the update. I feel changing your keyboard is a few months late, but I'd be happy to finally have swiftkey back. I'm running an unlocked Fire Phone with 3.6.8. Amazon doesn't even acknowledge a new update on their Fire Phone update page. Perhaps it's in some sort of beta as they harvest data before making it official?

What is mdnsd and why did it just start eating my battery?

Just today there is a new item on my battery stats....mdnsd. It is the top item in battery stats. Anyone have any ideas what it is, why it is suddenly killing my battery, and how to fix it?
This is on stock unrooted OJ6. (It showed up on the second day of use for OJ6.)
As I continue searching for a solution, I find this bug report from mobile Firefox regarding 42.0:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1215012
In short, is says it this may be a bug in certain beta firefox mobile, and Stable version 42.0 (which is the version I am using) which causes excessive mdnsd usage. Not sure if this is it, but I'll follow this for a while.
Try another browser. Chrome is impressive but I didn't like their merge tabs feature so I disabled it (right near the top of settings).
I recently kicked FlashFox (not to be confused with Mozilla) to the curb for recent constant running of a collector service; reported the app twice for this (the app kept restarting this service). Switched to Mercury browser for a flash browser.
I hate apps that don't behave... browsers can be the worse offenders here.

I don't sign-in or sync browsers. I tend to use my phone a lot for important stuff on the web so I sync my open tabs with titanium as needed and use bank apps. Chrome doesn't get all bogged-down with all those tabs ready to open.
I could just make them shortcuts but I got started on that with temporary browser tests until I could settle on one... creature of habit.

Question Facebook and Instagram FULLSCREEN

It took me a long while....
But I'm back one more time!
I've finally got Facebook locked into phone mode with the bar across the top not the side!
This
1 Stops cutting the sides of pictures
2 looks way better imo with it FULLSCREEN and the pictures nice and big
3 finally figured out how to stop auto updating.
I went as far as disabling play store to test if it was play store... Still updated..
So I've used app cloner with a few tweaked settings and she's now done updating finally!!!!
I was testing some modded apps but they all broke the stories button to add a story.
This works 100 as it should!
If anyone is interested let me know I will do a step by step!
One issue.. No notifications. I'm still on it will update later
if you need some additional users let us know. Whoever designed the apps for foldables was definitely smoking something lol

Please share a step by step method to optimise Instagram, thanks in advance.
I've been working nonstop to try and figure this out.
Facebook:
Option A
For Facebook, I can lock it from updating with a step by step guide the only issues are
1. I doesn't push notifications but does retrieve them
2. If a marketplace listing or Facebook link is sent to you through messenger it opens in the browser not the app, cannot get this fixed..
Option B
Install a certain version of Facebook and don't ever close the app out (this way all links open and messenger and Facebook read each other as they should) found the right app that keeps stories intact!
Guide; install 376.0.0.12.108 (arm64-v8a) (nodpi) (Android 10+) login force close once it will update once then leave it alone no closing it out. (App or phone restart will call for a reinstall)
Option c
I found an older modded Facebook app that will auto update after the first close to a current version without forcing the app to tablet mode
(This app blocks ads reals and stories but breaks connection to messenger completely, meaning if you click the top right messenger button in Facebook it will prompt you to install which it already is..
Instagram:
Download version 253.x.x.x.x and block auto updates
Messenger:
Found an ad blocked version that works but completely breaks connection to all fb apps.
Instagram is flawless
Facebook is silently updating every night at 12.. it's NOT play store, I disabled to test.
My current setup is option B for Facebook. I'm sure I will have to reinstall every now and then but it's worth having the full screen
I've been fighting this hard as I feel they really wasted some space and cut a bunch of all the pictures to make it work..
I've tried cloning the apk with messing with Android version, play store ids, everything
Option B is the best option with everything working nothing broke
Coming back one more time...
After trying to get Verizon on esim I had to restart and lost my Facebook and it has been fighting hard since....
Facebook setting, search media, device settings, media and contacts and shut off auto update app. I finally found it! Was hidden deep in the settings
Last reply. Updates turned off and I can finally restart my phone and do whatever without it silently updating.
Finally have won this battle !

Interesting, I guess I don't notice pictures being cut off. I thought the new layout was better optimized for the fold screen. To each there own though.
