Sometimes lags very hard. - Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I use my phone more often as I don't have my tablet now and I saw a one thing with new Lollipop upgrade on my S5 Mini G800F. It sometimes lags very hardly quite often. It does not matter what I do (watching videos, browsing or just listening to music). I will explain more: it starts to lag(doesn't accept any buttons pressing while lagging), after couple of seconds it returns to the lockscreen and I need to unlock my phone. After unlocking, everything works fine without lags for some time (until it will not do it again).
After Lollipop update I did a factory reset so I did it 3-4 months ago and I don't think that's the issue. I have plenty of space, couple apps disabled, about 20 apps installed. It did not do this kind of thing when I was on KitKat.

If you have Facebook app installed, try removing it. You can use Lite or web browser.

I didn't install Facebook on my phone since last reset.

Well, I am using latest Lollipop (1.35GB total RAM) and no lags at all, but my phone is a G800H model. No root, just used Debloater to disable unwanted apps.

Actually all(I think) models have same 1.5GB RAM capacity. Only reserved RAM size differs. Look at this screenshot.

Nope, actually the first Lollipop versions from Samsung had only 1GB free RAM due to unusual debugging level setting... That's why most custom ROMs also have this problem, because they use the same source for kernel.

I share the same observation, after the ICS update my Galaxy note the package access helper is using most of the CPU, and it is draining the battery!
Any help in understanding the process would be helpful
Ive just checked my phone and no Package acess helper icon there but i do have battery drain

I've tried stock ICS LPY and LQ2 and it seems this is one of those rogue services that is destined to fry your phone. It seems to fire up when uninstalling apps and then gobbles up huge amounts of CPU and just keeps going.
This morning I installed 3-4 small apps and quickly uninstalled two of them. The uninstalls took ages - like over a minute each - and the phone was getting warm at the back. I used System Panel Lite to check on processes and CPU usage and this little ****er was going like the clappers and showing no sign of stopping.
Another one to look out for on stock ICS is the Samsung keyboard, and possibly other keyboards (e.g. Swiftkey X) too. They seem capable of clocking up huge CPU minutes if the wind is in the wrong direction, despite the keyboard barely being used, if at all. I have no idea what prompts the crazy behaviour on that one, but I've seen it several times over the course of different ICS installs.
I never saw these problems with the Gingerbread ROMs.
Up..
Can anyone help us with this annoying problem?
I don't know why it would have high battery usage unless an install did not complete correctly and left the process running. Have you tried a battery pull reset?

I had a LG g2 before my nexus 6. When for example using instagram app where i "work" with the filters it laggs heavily on nexus 6, instead of on my lg g2 it runs smoothly

I have rebooted and cleared everything. I dont want to make a hard reset as i dont see this as a solution.
Forgot to mention that the battery drains fast, and the phone is constantly warm

Your app doesn't make sense, whilst the 4th core is apparently off, it is also under 172% load? Hahah, yeah er..... ok!

Your CPU load hardly goes above 70%, but yeah its a little high. Looks like google backup is the cause.

All of a sudden for me too, GPS is now eating up to 15% of my battery and the Android OS is at 11%... I noticed this this morning. The only thing I installed last night was Greenify...
Quite similar to what I have. Android system and Android os always on top

This is new for me. I normally have pretty crap battery life but services and OS are normally never this high. The battery on my phone is so hit or miss. It 's behavior seriously changes daily. I don't get it.

By the way, it got me to 8.30pm yesterday before I had to charge. As bad and inconsistent the battery is, at the very least I can say it gets me to dinner without too much babying. I'm just concerned when it drains much quicker than usual which means I can't use it as much for it to survive.

Incredibly poor battery

OK, so I have a 920I running 5.1.1, and today I was almost fully on mobile data. And I got truly, down to earth, horrible battery life. How bad you might ask? 1 percent every ten minutes. 6 percent an hour. In standby. SOT stood at 1h 20m.

So, anyone have any explanation? I barely have any apps on here: WhatsApp, Clash Royale and Clans, Snapchat (not logged in) and Tapatalk. Thats it. I just factory reset the phone last week too.
Im starting to think there's something with my Google account, as poor battery life seems to carry over on every Android device I own. My gmail account is particularly old, since 2007 if im not wrong, so perhaps theres an issue with that?
Nevertheless, ANY suggestions are welcome.

It seems you played that new supercell game a lot.
Try package disabler pro? That usually helps with battery or try wipe cache and finally if those dont work than try reeset phone.

Not nearly enough to make the phone's battery suck this bad. My Moto X takes only a very slight hit when playing.

Kernel OS And System Server high battery drain

guys ever since the update, i've had a horrible battery life because of kernel and system_server processes. Does anyone knows whats the cause or how i can fix the issue, i've tired "Wake Lock Detector", "GSAM", everything i can think of, even "show CPU" in the developer option, i cant seem to find the cause of the issue. if nessary ill add pictures to show the results that am getting
sorry, completely forgot to mention that am using a S5 Active(G870A) and updated to 5.0 (OC5) using @muniz_ri version http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s5/general/how-to-update-to-g870aoc5-5-0-keeproot-t3083841
If screen is on alot not much help here; However, I am using my deductive reasoning & will suggest deep sleep battery saver. Makes my phone stay in the 90%s if my screen is off awhile. Firefox beta uses battery until you physically exit out I've learned. Last thought for now, kernal tuner. Put 1 CPU governor to powersave. Not sure if it matters which? Mine is CPU1. Hope it helped.
My Samsung S5 Active. Yes I read pages. Thanks
I wish it was the screen but the screen only takes up 3% of battery usage while android OS and kernel takes up about 50% combined and I have no idea what to do because "show cpu" state that system_server and media server is the culprit

Install better battery stats and get an idle dump so we can see what the exact issue is.
