Hi guys,
any advice on this issue greatly appreciated.
Stock 5X.
Upgraded to Oreo (OTA)
Wallpaper gets reset to android default (pink sky) every 24hrs approx. It doesn't matter if I set a wallpaper from the launcher itself or from the gallery, or from wallpapers(google app). It still gets reset each day.
Any ideas?
:good:
I'm having the exact same issue. It's definitely after low memory situations. At first I thought it was only happening to live wallpapers which is annoying enough that they don't restart themselves but it's also happening with simple images. Sigh, I've just about had it with Android, and I've definitely had it with this phone.
Not sure if this was also you, but same topic on Nexus help forums:

Of late, the camera on my desire with stock rom stopped working. First to go was the LED then after a long time (may be about 2-3 months) the camera refused to start. It showed a blank screen and then returned back to the home screen. I reset it to factory settings (stock) too but this did not help. I thought if I root it and change the rom, it may work but this problem still persists.
I had dropped the phone couple of times and when i pressed the camera in, it 'sat in place' as though it had become loose due to the fall.
do you think the camera has still not 'sat in place' and so its not working?
If so, how do i take it apart and set it right?
thanks in advance.

PS Its running RunnymedeMod007 ver 21 with android 2.3.5 and I am extremely happy with the quantum leap in battery life, new sense UI and better resolution so I'd be very unhappy to sell it off just for the bad cam.
Sorry I posted this in General category. Admins please move this to Q&A cat. Sorry, my bad.

Hi all. I just got my S6 Edge on the release date and updated it to 5.0.2 via OTA right away. I noticed that a lot of my apps keep crashing and the phone will reset on its on sometimes. Is this a symptom of the memory leak issue? Has anyone else experience this and found a solution? Please chime in, thank you.
*edit*
I have already performed a factory reset and it didn't help.
Also the message is "Unfortunately, (insert app name) has stopped working."

Yep its definately the memory leak problem when pushed hard. Try using smart manager to clean stuff up or all in one toolbox from the playstore. A restart might help, mine has stopped crashing apps now, when setting up and syncing it seems to be worse.
My nexus 9 is the worst thing i ever bought hoping 5.1 will sort things out. As much as i Like lollipop, my 2 plus year old note 8 is smooth as butter on KitKat. That said new Samsung phones always have early software glitches that get sorted in a couple of months

I did all this and it doesn't seem to be working. What is the next step?
I downloaded AAStocks and it keeps crashing on my Galaxy S6 Edge as well. Works great with no crashes though on my older HTC ONE M7
Note: Crashing started after I added stock portfolio to application
UPDATE
I took screenshots of how frequently the apps crashed. I had 5 apps crash back to back within a minute of opening each. I went to a T-Mobile store and showed them the screen shots. They were busy so they didn't bother to ask me to duplicate the problem in front of them. The phone was still within the 14 day warranty period so they replaced it for me. As of now, I am no longer experiencing the issue. Maybe you guys can try making the same claim. Best of luck!
Happy you got a new phone. The problem though was the Google Play Service that for some reason had a hard time auto updating and a lot of apps depends on that.. So in the future try to disable it, uninstall and install it again. That will fix it.
Even when it's not a Google app it will do that. Had the same problem
A few hours after flashing the factory image, my 5x has been scrolling really choppily, it's not as noticeable when I fling the scrolling ( take my finger off the screen after flinging the scrolling direction) but it's extremely noticeable when I'm scrolling while keeping my finger on the screen. I'm not quite sure if this choppiness only affects scrolling, it could possibly be a frame cap, but I haven't really noticed any lag or choppiness when opening apps. I think this could also be due to the system optimizating the apps in the background since android system and Android OS have pretty high battery usage percentages, and I've been having worse battery life than I had when my 5x was on marshmallow. The phone gets woken up a lot when it's idle. I've reflashed the factory image again and once again for the first few hours the phone is fine and then after that the scrolling choppiness returns and the Android system and Android OS battery drain too. I'll probably roll back to marshmallow if these problems don't get better in a few days after the system is done optimizating the apps in the background. I just wanted to know if anyone else has been having these issues and if anyone has a way to make the scrolling smooth again (once again the scrolling is smooth for a few seconds after rebooting and then the choppiness comes back once again) thanks in advance.
I'm getting same issues Im most likely going back to MM until next Nougat revision is issued

Yea, I also went back to marshmallow because I couldn't stand the scrolling choppiness and the battery life issues. I really did want to wait a few days to see if it made a difference but it felt like the choppiness wasn't just affecting the scrolling it felt like the phone was being frame capped. And the battery life just seemed to get worse and worse so the problems didn't seem to flatten themselves out. However I did read some posts on reddit that suggested the problems being caused webview being integrated into only chrome instead of being a standalone app; the post suggested uninstalling chrome and updating webview. For me it didn't really help with the battery issues and scrolling issues but others can try and see it helps with their phones.
Why are you reflashing the stock image? Try factory resetting or format data/cache in recovery, then just take the OTA.

I reflashed the stock image via the flash-all.bat file so it wipe the entire phone including the data and cache partitions. But even after that the scrolling choppiness and battery issues come back after a few hours.

I'm wondering if the stock image or the flashing process is the issue. I would try reverting back to MM and take the Nougat OTA update, and then format data/cache.
I dont get this issues.
But ive installed tupiac4u Custom Rom.
new on N5x, bought the day 7.1.1 came out.
I never tried 6.0 but 7.1.1 (only thing I tried, why downgrade?) is far from being smooth
I'm trying kernels, roms, aosp, cm, stock based, anyhting I do doesn't help. it's not smooth
I have 3 friends with unrooted phone, who just updated to 7.1.1 through OTA and is smooth as should be....curious....
well, I tried 6.0 and is not any good
updated to 7.1.1...not solved
done again factory reset with flash-all.bat to 7.1.1 and is still not perfect...
I tried a friend's unit, is damn smooth, really, 60fps always, scrolling is so good...
I really don't know how to solve this. custom kernels are faster but not smoother....
wish I could get it replaced

Definitely get it replaced, sounds like bunk hardware. Maybe a faulty CPU/GPU.
LEMON!!

I can't...what should I say? the device works, everything run fine. no hardware fault...just a unfortunate unit, but is not enough to get it replaced
I just was having all these issues and Google is replacing my phone after going through all the troubleshooting with them.
If you guys go to the sound menu in the actual settings menu, does your volume jump around at all? I discovered this on the phone and I'm wondering if this is some weird issue separate form these problems or part of a bigger problem with this image.
Sorry can someone delete this? I somehow missed the thread on this called "Slow typing" - so sorry!

Running a non-rooted Duos Note 7 with Nova launcher and about 30 apps (keeping it light for now). It's run smooth for the past week and then suddenly (about 12 hours ago I started to experience keyboard lag). It was around the time I changed the system font to Samsung Sans (via the official store) so I switched it back but nothing changed. I thought maybe it's my Google Keyboard, but it's doing the same thing with the stock Samsung app.
I type fast and the letters on the screen feel like they can't keep up. Deleting is even laggier.
This is the kind of crap I experienced when I had a Note 1 years ago. Didn't think it would still be plaguing me. Anyone have any bright ideas or experiencing the same?
Hi there,
after flashing the most recent OTA Update, my device seems a little choppy here and there, scrolling isn't as smooth as it used to be. It is a very minor difference, but recognizable. My brother's experience is about the same after installing the latest update. It is no game breaker, but I loved the buttery smooth scrolling from before.
Does anybody else experience a slight drop in smoothness after the update?
That's a known issue with the full OTA package. Just reboot and all will be fine.
Already tried that, the slight drop in smoothness persists. I think I'll try a full wipe tomorrow.
Try lowering Animations Scale in Developers Settings to .5x
I fastbooted the factory image without the -w and it was indeed very choppy. Now, this was a problem that Google addressed and said that rebooting would fix it. Rebooting did speed it back up, but after a short period of time, a day I think, I my phone became noticeable slower. Although I did not notice a drop in scrolling smoothness, There would be a clear delay from the time I pressed the home button to when the animation of the app closing began. I wasn't too sure what was going on, and was desperately hoping that this was not happening because of prolonged use. I personally think Google somehow messed up and made it so that sideloading either the ota or factory images slowed the device down. There is no way a pixel would begin to slow down that much after such a short period of time (I think I wiped my phone about a month before I flashed the January image). I thought it could've been the January image itself causing the slowdowns, so I flashed back to December security patch and took the OTA and it was smooth like normal. I have not used the January image long enough to determine if Google messed something up with sideloading or whether the slowdowns just came with prolonged use.
I apologize for the essay, but I just wanted to share my experience. Hope this helps!
