Hello all. It's been a while since I've been active on here, but I figured I'd make a comeback, and what better way to come back other than asking for help?!
I recently purchased the LG Volt 4G through Sprint Prepaid last November, and I absolutely love the phone, but I am having a pesky annoyance with it. Sometimes, more times than not, my home launcher will crash, mainly when I'm using an app, like Facebook, Snapchat, or a game. It started crashing a lot with the stock launcher, which is called "Home" version 4.3.38. After finagling with trying to clear appsout of the task manager after I was done with them, and force stopping some unused apps to clear up RAM, it still would crash. Now by crashing I mean, if I were using Facebook for instance, and I hit the home button on my phone to go to my home screen, my phone would freeze, the home screen would be blank, and then my screen would flash and then all the icons on my home screen would show back up, as if the launcher was restarting. So eventually, I downloaded "Apex Launcher" from the Play Store. It's faster than the stock launcher, but now for the past 6+ weeks, it's been crashing as well. I've set the launcher to "Keep in memory" to reduce crashes, but it still happens so much! I can't even open my messaging app without it taking 2-3 seconds to even open.
Do you all have any ideas?
Everything is all up-to-date, including the OS.
Is this a sign that it's time to root and over-clock the device so it stops this crap?!
Thanks for any and all help guys (and gals)!
