My S5 gets freezes up & shuts off with no warning about mid-day every day. It won't respond unless I remove the battery for a few minutes. When I replace the battery, I have to wait again before I dare turn it on. If I turn it on too soon, it doesn't load/boot (I don't know the terminology) completely & it freezes up again with only the time displayed in the upper right corner. Sometimes it does turn on but then freezes when you try to do anything on the phone at all. It's different every time. I have to "remove the battery & wait" about 3 - 4 times & it takes over an hour to get it back to normal!
After reading forums & whatnot, I've removed/turned off bloat ware, reduced # of apps installed & placed the rest in folders, done what was recommended to save battery life & ugh - it still freezes every day!
So what gives? Is this fancy-schmancy processor a piece of junk? Is it Touch-Wiz? Is it AT&T and their bloat ware? Or has technology has advanced so much & so fast and "lag" had been a non-issue for so long that it was no longer suspect?
Regardless of the cause, what on earth can I do to get rid of this blasted lag? I'm thinking about the Google Launcher or maybe even rooting, but then I remember how technologically retarded I am...
Anyhow, if you got rid of the lag/freeze thing, how did you do it? Suggestions?
Any and all help is graciously appreciated! Thanks in advance!
