Samsung S8+ Processor Issues

SomeTeenThatLovesComputers · July 7, 2018

Ive had my S8+ for almost a year now but I've recently noticed some issues in system performance. I've even been getting warnings telling me apps are taking too much processor power. Snapchat tends to load very hard, going at 1 frame per second for 5 minutes until it stabilizes at 56 fps. YouTube and Netflix both take a while as well to load. Device Manager has been warning me about one application/process mainly;

com.android.chrome:sandboxed

which takes up 12.56% of the processing power. I know its a part of Chrome but im not big with Linux based OSes and their processes. I close it and in 10 minutes Device Manager is telling me about it again. Is this a defect in the S8+? Or is it a simple issue that can be fixed?

Get terminal emulator. Run the command top and see what process is running. Kill anything that eats resources like crazy with the kill PID command. It has always been my go to methods on Linux systems.

Don't know if it works for Android but worth a try.
