Diagnose this graphics issue - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+

No change that I'm aware of has occurred to the phone, but sometime in the last 12 hours, games have started loading up looking like this screenshot.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled the apps individually, no dice. One app that was behaving the same way fixed itself with a routine weekly update.
Where do I begin?

If it's just games it may be the Game Optimizer. Go Settings/Apps/Three-Dots-Top-Right/Show System Apps/Game Optimizing Service/Storage/Clear Data. Reboot. If that doesn't work go back to the Game Optimizing Service/Three Dot Menu/Uninstall Updates. Reboot. Let me know if it worked!

LG G3 giving problems after problem. Help me out.

So it's been 3 months since I bought this LG G3 D856. After a week of use, google play store and other apps (mostly associated with Google) werent giving notifications and werent loading. So I saw that if I factory reset my phone, it would be fixed. So i did it, and it did get fixed. But it didnt take long until it all started again. But i was living up to it. I thought LG might roll out the Android M update which would fix it all. But after seeing the news about it being delayed, im kinda pissed off. Now my games apps wont even load. They show the error of stopped working. So if anyone could help me out, it would be a hugeeee support. :/
Try to find an updated Google play services. Also you can hold the Power+Volume down rocker to get to your stock recovery and while your cache and dalvik.
I already got the latest play service. And the games app not responding issue, it got fixed after a restart. But the google play store thing is really bugging me. :/

It could be very well bug in Google Play Services, since it silently updates itself in background, so lot of time they suddenly start misbehaving eating up lot of battery and crashing here & there. Cross check your version with apkmirror

Already did. Got the correct version. Still no fix. :/

Slow Recent apps popup

I re-imaged the phone with the latest (Oct '19) Factory Image.
Cleared cache of every single app.
Force stopped most of the non-system apps.
Turned off all animations in the Developer Mode.
When I open a several (less than 5) apps and try to switch between them, it freezes for a few seconds when I click on one of them.
Any idea on how to resolve this issue?
How long since you flashed?
My phone usually takes about a day to level out after clean flash.
Was your flash clean with a wipe?
I flashed my phone on Friday with -w. Started noticing a day or two after that and the lag hasn't gone away (once I clear cache for each app, lag doesn't exist for a (very) small amount of time, but after that, the long lag issue creeps up again).

I came from Oreo and flashed it using the Oct 2019 factory image.
Good news is that the issue is resolved. The fault is with the 3rd party launcher (Goog needs to provide support for 3rd party launcher). Switching back to Pixel launcher fixed the issue.
Thank you for your feedback.

I had something that sounds like this only yesterday.
Mxplayer and my keyboard app would open and then close within a second. The whole UI had a periodic flicker to it as well. I checked running services and then battery management. Both apps mentioned had high power consumption so l put them to sleep and the UI was better for 1 minute.
For the first time in years I've switched from 2 of my favourite apps and the problem is gone. I'm not happy that I've had to do this on a new phone on official software.
This was out of the blue, the only thing I can think of is a Google services update screwed something up. Nothing else on the phone changed but for a services or play store update.
EDIT: following @toothfairy's link I updated system webview and tried a newer version of touchpal (I know, banned from play store. firewall will eventually cut them off) and all seems good there again.
I'm actually liking VLC for the moment so mxplayer can wait for another test.

Many apps have stopped working

Android 9. Last night several apps stopped working. So I started deleting recent apps, rebooted, still same problem. Then I started deleting unnecessary apps, rebooted, still same problem. Any known issue that may cause this?
Some apps I try to open, and just get a plain white screen. Others, start to open, then just go back to previous screen. Sometimes, it gives me the error (App name) keeps stopping. App info, Close app, Send feedback.
Well, a coworker came in and told me Android is having a big problem (since last night) with something Google Chrome related. I disabled Chrome (for now), and all seems to be working again.

Question Camera still crashing and rebooting P6P

Anyone else still having issues with the camera freezing and rebooting your phone? I'm on February update and camera app 8.4.400.42337059.19
As far as I've seen, the camera app crashing hasn't been a huge issue on the 6 series (of course there are reports as usual).
What have you tried to fix it so far? are all your apps and play services fully updated (2 different updates)

Everything is up to date. I haven't tried much. Open camera app seems to work fine. I'm waiting to see if it gets fixed by an update. I see others having the same issue here https://support.google.com/pixelphone/thread/136991301?hl=en#

yeah that's average for a new phone. okay so let's see if we can resolve your issue.
go to play store, search camera and hit uninstall (it'll uninstall all the updates and revert to original version). then clear storage for camera app. then update it from play store. now long press on camera shortcut, give it all permissions including under Advanced (modify system settings). then test it.

thanks. I gave it a shot. It's only been random crashes....we'll see
I had troubles with my P4 XL randomly rebooting and it was caused by a lack of free storage, apparently Android 12 needs a certain amount of free MB/GB to properly work. The system doesn't warn you, it just causes bootloop/reboot issues, even said once that the Android system was corrupt and required a factory reset (I just normally rebooted and it worked, after that I cleared the storage). Do you have enough free storage?
Since I don't know how much A12 desires, I'd suggest to always leave at least 5GB free.

I am on my 3rd 6 Pro. I will tell you my first one was crashing on the camera andnit was indeed a hardware error. My next two 6 Pro's have NEVER frozen or rebooted. No camera problems. I recommend exchanging it through google.
