Strange glitches

bigbdroid · Feb 15, 2020

Hey y'all.

My LG Stylo 4 (LM-Q710TS) keeps clutching out. Small but very annoying glitches.

Wallpaper resets to default
Looping home screen setting keeps turning off
Keyboard won't stay onscreen very long.
Internet blinks(?)
Screen blinks

Basically my whole phone glitches out and resets little things.

Any ideas as to why this might be happening?

With all being said and done if I have to replace this phone, can someone recommend a good phone with at least the following features.

FM tuner
Built-in casting
MHL capable
Easy to root with need of PC

maybe a factory reset might do the trick.

as for an upgrade, what is your price range? do you have a particular brand? carrier?

I prefer LG. But my budget is very low. And it's gotta be TMO compatible. Just sucks, because I've only had this phone for 3-4 months.

And No dice on factory reset. Did it twice

Are you by any chance using a third party launcher, or other apps such as calling apps, messaging apps, or any other that runs continuously?

I ask because on a low performance device there are some apps that use way too much power for such devices.

Case in point, I had a phone with 1GB of RAM, and I really liked Apex Launcher.

The phone had most if not all of the symptoms you describe, even if I got rid of almost all my user apps.

I later discovered that while Apex Laucher itsrlf only uses about 30MB of RAM, the Google Analytics built into it used a whopping 200MB of RAM all the time!

Together, that makes about 25% of the memory used.
Now add whatever the system needed to work.

No wonder that poor phone was acting up!

So, I ditched that launcher, and now look for apps that do not have Google Analytics built into them.

It makes the device much happier, I am much happier, and Google can get bent for all I care.
