hey i came from xperia 1.
(wanted xperia 1 2 but the delays in release and my contract ending made me choose the ultra).
on the first day s20 ultra battery really sucked lol
but i disabled alot of apps and changed a few settings, switched to 4G instead of 5G now its really not that bad at all.
Anyways onto the issue.
i've noticed google chrome sometimes (most of the time) hangs.
for example ill be browsing, reading... and ill click a different link and the webpage will show its loading forever until you exit the browser and close it from the open apps screen (bottom right key; 3 lines |||)
then when you open the browser again the webpage immediately loads?
its been doing this quite alot, and when this happens other apps dont load new information either like instagram wont show new updates or new notifications until you exit the app and open it again.
how do i fix this?

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. I have problems with 2 apps opening slow play store and reddit is fun.
When I press on them it wait like 2sec on screen then it open them. I dont have this problem on other apps they open instantly.
I tried many differeny roms and always same , same on stock rom. When I first got this phone I had no this issue it was opening normally.
its so weird that always those 2 apps open slow no matter what rom i install.
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
Hey all,
I have had the Galaxy S20 Ultra for a few months now, and it's buggy as hell. Chrome frequently doesn't work, and will often have to be force stopped. I'm using SwiftKey as my default keyboard, and often times when I'm working on typing something out, the predictive text ribbon will stay shaking. When i have a video from YouTube or Twitch playing in the popoit player, it will glitch or straight up stop playing when i try go back into the app. Now I'm noticing that videos i play on YouTube are randomly freezing. What is going on with my phone?

Which variant, SD or exynos?
snapdragon
I've had Galaxy S devices for years. The only qualms were screenburn on the S7 and S8 but going forward since the S9 that's been resolved. The S20 seems to have more issues besides heat and battery issues with Exynos variants. The camera problems are known as well but I can't recall previous Galaxy's with so many software conflicts. Not sure if it's certain updates or UI's but Sammy needs to get it's act together, especially at today's pricing, it's inexcusable! FYI - S20 sales are way down compared to S9's and S10's. Covid-19 has a role in the declining numbers but reading the comments here you see a good number of users are looking for better options beyond Galaxy devices.
If i didn't still owe $1200 on it, i would totally trade it in for a Note 20
Here's another example. That's supposed to be a YouTube video in the bottom right corner. https://www.dropbox.com/s/ab9bsntvkx8tn3h/Screenshot_20200919-081354_One UI Home.jpg?dl=0
And here's a link to a video of it happening. I've noticed that i have to restart the phone to get it back to normal after this https://www.dropbox.com/s/njvi3wlgcm2g952/Screen_Recording_20200919-083357_YouTube.mp4?dl=0

As a test to make sure it's not the apps at fault, switch from the ones causing problems temporarily to alternative.
Chrome → Samsung Internet
YouTube → YouTube Vanced
SwiftKey → GBoard
If it still does it with those, factory reset but do not restore any backups, start fresh and test it like that, if it still does it then I'd see about getting it replaced, make sure your screen is clean and if you are using a 3rd party screen protector take it off as that could be causing phantom screen touches
Have had my S20U Exy for a few weeks now and besides the over processed IQ from camera I've had no issues with Chrome or anything else, phone has been rock solid, no glitches or hands at all, around 8 hrs SoT and 2 to 3 days between charges.
Here's another example of what happens. https://www.dropbox.com/s/pa1gu54bfshd6dr/Screen_Recording_20200925-193024_Messages.mp4?dl=0
the phone just straight up crashes and restarts when I'm watching anything(twitch,yt etc) and swipe down to open notification panel....this happens a lot but not all the time
thats not even the biigest problem...whenever the phone crashes/restarts some apps just dont open amd stay on the apps splash screen like instagram , galaxy store, pokemon go etc. they just stay stuck on the splash screen and refuse to open until i manually restart the phone again
is the problem just happening with me ?
have anyone else experienced anything similar?
thats not the biggest issue...the biggest issue I've been facing the beta ithes that whenever
