Gallery lag, freezing/crash all of a sudden, previously no problem. - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II

Hi guys,
I have a bone stock Note 2.
Since a couple of days ago, the gallery has been acting really weird. It would lag, freeze, ask to close/wait and even crash. When i zoom into the image, it would jerk and jiter even if my hands are of the screen. The upper part of the phone around the area of the sd card reader and front part fo the screen would become really warm to touch.
This is all of a sudden, mind you. Ive never experienced any lag in the gallery. I use it all the time over wiwfi to send images to my dlna connected devices without a hitch.
I thought my sd card was going back. i replaced the 16gb kinstaon card with a 32gb sandisk, and it hasn't made any difference at all. SAme problem.
The problem is alleviated if i switch wifi off. But ive never had to do that before. I have always hd wifi on and connected all the time with no problem until a few days ago.
I have all sync's off including cloud sync. There should be nothing syncing in the background.
Its not the sd card, it cant be the sd port as it works fine with wifi off... so im at a lost as i have no more ideas on what to trouble shoot.
Im thinking it may have been an update that i did not notice maybe? All share cast is not samsung link... dont know if that would do it...
I do hop ei get some insight to what is going in with my note 2.
Anybody else having similar problems or a solution?
Any and all help is much appreciated.

tried new card,.. same thing.
tried hard reset, and still same thing...
what else can it be?
hardware failure?

Figured it out!!!!
Plex media server was causing it. Once i disabled it on my PC, gallery is working like it should again.

[Q] netflix choppy since FC

Well hi! I've had my a100 since Christmas and I've been loving it (other than the planner thinking no US cities exist), and until last week I've been using it to watch stuff all the the time on netflix while I'm gaming.
Last weekend I woke up and there was a force close error from the market app. I tried to report it and it said there was no space left on the device. Odd, since my internal and external sd both have a couple gigs free. Ever since then, it's impossible to watch anything on netflix. The sound is fine, but the video is insanely choppy. Barely 3 - 5fps. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling netflix with no effect. My tablet is totally stock. Not even rooted.
Anyone got any suggestions or thoughts on this? I'd really like to get it working again, but I don't even know where to begin. The cause and the symptoms don't make sense together. Is there there some other app I can check updates on that netflix uses for its streaming?
Some things you can try.
1st: Update to the leaked ICS and see if that fixes your problem.
2nd: Backup all your apps into your SD card with Titanium Backup, and then do a factory reset and see if that works.(needs root)

720p Video Recording Audio/Video out of sync

Dear Gliders, since a few months I've been struggeling with a (atleast for me) great issue concerning the Captivate Glide video camera.
While recording (or sometimes even right when beginning to capture) I notice some lag in the video and it stays the same for half a second or so.
After that the whole video is very heavily out of sync and not bearable to watch anymore >:
I've read several threads here in XDA aswell as in other forums about this issue on other phones, but have found no fix yet.
It recrods on Internal storage so MicroSD slow speed class should not be cause of the problem.
Also I'm using overclocked, rooted stock firmware. (though this also happened without the overclock)
Greetings, Alex22!
I dont have that problem at all. Have you tried a ROM?
sent from my captivate glide
I have the same problem, however I will say mine usually only does it when recording longer videos. My first Glide did it (stock), now my warranty replacement (replaced for other reason) does it too. I've tried both saving to sd card and internal storage, still getting the same problem. I am now using v2 of the Collective Rom and still the same problem. Anyone else experience this?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Well atleast i'm not the only one experiencing the problem.
It annoys me really badly, but I really can't think of a way to fix this.

[Q] constantly unmounting microSD after update?

anyone else come across this yet...
ran the OTA update an hour or so ago, and since then the microSD card seems to be constantly unmounting...
it's done it three times so far when trying to access the gallery, and there seems to be a fair second or two's lag when the gallery does load, with just black image folders there.
Anyone else having this annoyance?

[Q] New Lag Problem

I've been using my Note for a long time without any of the issues I have read about. Until now. This past week there were several updates to applications, including one that allows apps to send things to OneNote, which I had been waiting on for a while.
Then I was using Mazec3 inside NoteAnytime and while I was writing, things just froze up momentarily and my handwriting was all screwed up. I suspected the app, so I switched back to the Samsung pen input, but I had the same issue.
A device reset seemed to fix it mostly, but I have noticed that while playing CandyCrush, I get a momentary freeze.
The original hesitation seemed to be when the device was converting the handwriting to text (or to suggested words) and adding the CandyCrush issue in seems to suggest a bogged down processor.
Has anyone else had this issue and/or know how to fix it?
Thanks,
PNCguy
Mine is doing the same thing. My google keyboard keeps crashing. I uninstalled it and it's been performing a lot better.
Same here. Especially noticeable during video playback. I watch videos all the time on my note and this just started the other day. Thought it had something to do with my SD card, so I put the file on internal memory. Same issues, any ideas?

[CM14]Spotify freezing and crashing phone

Hey Guys, newbie here!
I've been using CM13 for a while now. Recently my Spotify app started freezing and crashing my phone when accessing my 64GB MicroSD card. I can not reproduce this however since it seems to happen randomly. But when Spotif or my SD card are uninstalled i do not get these freezes.
I did a clean install of the most recent CM13 Nightly and the Experimental CM14 release, which did not yield any results other than corrupting my data file system. After fixing this, I now run in the Experimental CM14 without Spotify.
If you have ans Idea I would really appreciate the help from you guys.
*Edit* This is about the LG G3 D855 which I am using with a 64GB Sandisk MicroSD card.

Wow, reading that post, it's almost as if I posted it myself.
I have similar issues as you. But I'm using stock. I thought it was something wrong with my new 128gb microsd. I even gotten a new battery just in case, as I see other people pointing to these random issue to battery issue.
Until I realized Spotify somewhat actively caches stuff on my microsd card, plus the earlier issue of using network data in the background even when not actively in use (killed my wife's data usage for that month).
Issues I've seen are phone not waking up from black screen (or taking a really really long time to wake up), issue playing the next song with my regular mp3 player with songs stored on microsd, spotify freezing, bluetooth freeze on connect, etc.
Just recently I've just tried to clear all data/cache on the spotify app (took a long time, I clicked the button and went to sleep). Then as soon as I'm back on spotify, I go to settings and tell it to cache on phone sd instead of external. So far my phone seem to be running better. Will have to wait a few more days to see how it goes. Hope this helps (for myself as well : ) )
