Laggy notification bar? Anyone? - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I got my Note 2 for a few weeks and just suddenly noticed this problem couple days ago (but not sure if it has been like this since the first place).
When I drag the notification bar down, many times, notification panel (that containsWIFI, GPS, SOUND etc.) doesnt slide smoothly. This happens espescially when there are many emails on the notification bar. Sometimes, it happens after I unlock the screen and drag down the notification too. Anyone got the same problem?

Me too has this sometimes not always

Whenever the CPU is doing something on background the notification panel lags.

So, this issue is normal for all of you?

Yep, same for me too. It's done it
on the stock rom along with all the custom roms I've tried. It's a minor issue really.

It might be a minor issue but it looks pretty bad on eyes. Project butter isn't as buttery as it sounds.

It's more to do with quad core taking initial time to fire up from deep sleep..saving your battery...

[Q] What kind of lag/issues, if any, have you been experiencing?

As this is my first Windows Phone and I wasn't really sure what to expect when it came to fluidity, I was pleased with how smooth everything is. However I've begun noticing a decent (read: annoying) bit of lag when I open up the messaging app and begin typing. The letters take a second to appear and autocorrect is slow if it comes up at all. The lag only last maybe 3-5 seconds but annoying none the less. I've also had some rather bad experience with laggy apps, with Skype being the worst culprit. I read good things about the recent refresh, but it's pretty much unusable for me. I've also been having issues with losing LTE and having it drop down to "4G". A simple toggle of airplane mode fixes it, but it's gone from happening rarely to happening once or twice a day now. When I do have LTE though, I have 4-5 bars constantly.
Anywho, bit of a wall of text but I just wanted to see if anyone else is having similar issues and if it's worth going to AT&T and seeing if they'll replace the phone for me as I'm still within my 30 day return window.
EDIT- Just remembered 2 more issues. Had it reboot on my when adjusting the volume and there's a weird clicking noise that happens when I swipe from the first picture in the camera roll. The phone is on silent, and it only happens going from the first to second picture. Little odd but not a big deal.

The only problem i have seen is:
When i switch off my phone and turn it on sometimes it freezes and i have to turn it of an on 2 or 3 times in order to get it working. this has been happening recently i dono whthere it is to do with some apps or firmware issue.
sometimes the touch screen also give hiccups specially on facebook app.
No other problem. coming from samsung galaxy s 2, i only miss the ability to change my homescreen every week with a different launcher and layout. The apps that i miss are Tweetdeck, 100% working Pulse, Youtube and Facebook App.
My Lumia 900 playing Angry birds is so much faster and smoother compared to SGS2.
Overall i am happy with the looks and performance of my phone.
I get that messaging problem as well sometimes where the keyboard lags and the typing noise doesn't keep pace with my inputs.
Mildly annoying and it's not constant so no big deal for me.
Sometimes, multitasking stops working and I have to do a quick power-off.
Actually, all issues are resolved with a quick reboot as opposed to a reset with my Lumia 900 which is something I can't say about my HD7.
I agree with above. The only lag I get is the occasional facebook load time lag. Some apps take longer to load than others, it's perfectly reasonable. As for overall lag, I had one experience yesterday where everything just slowed to a standstill. It was the first time I had to restart the phone, but after that, I've seen no problems. I can imagine it was a corrupt app as I had been downloading quite a bit of them that day. Coming from android for 2 years, the experience here is much much smoother. My advice, as i learned from the past 2 years, is to retrace your steps and find out when exactly it started to lag. When you find the beginning see if you downloaded any poorly rated or laggy third party app, or if you changed a seeting on your phone. If it continues to lag for no reason, you might just have a bad device. Best of luck.
Minor
I just upgraded from a Samsung Focus. My very first reaction was that the screen was slightly less responsive than the Focus, which was buttery smooth and instantaneous. It felt slightly, but noticeably less responsive. After using it for a day, I don't notice it anymore. I am sure it is there, but my memory of the Focus is not as near. As far as true lag goes, I have not experienced any after 2 weeks use, and no reboots or freezes.

I'm glad you are enjoying it but I came from the original focus myself and had the exact opposite reaction. That it was much faster and smoother than my old focus... I still have it and my kids play the old games on it so I can compare regularly and still feel the same.
Does anybody have lag when they are pinching and zooming on heavy desktops websites? i am getting a lot of lag here where my htc titan did not get that lag.
The only issue I seem to be having is when playing any kind of music or watching videos. If I touch any of the capacitive buttons, it's as if I long press them. Not a huge deal since I usually only touch the back arrow anyway, but that's all I get.
i was wondering if anyone else had this problem. My lumia has consistently not displayed maps in nokia maps or the maps app. It will show my location on a blank black or patterned screen (depending on the app). It's not a wifi or data issue because it's happened on both. It's happened five times in 3 days. Each time i've had to shut the phone off and restart it and it works again. Is this just a problem with mine? Thanks.e

it is a problem with your device, so do you have web browser lag or is that problem only with my device.

Touch Screen Problem

Hello, this only started happening recently, I havent changed anything system wise for weeks.
Occaisionally the touch screen will go really weird ; anything that can be scrolled like the UI will jerk for right to left / up or down. The soft keys also only work by pressing the top half of them, the other is unresponsive.
All this can easily be fixed by locking and unlocking the phone. System or hardware do you think?
Please offer any ideas, it is becoming more frequent.

Does it do it when charging?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
I don't know. I only charge it when I'm sleeping.
Hmm.. sometimes I have the same problem, but mostly when I'm playing Shadow Gun. Maybe it is heat related?
WiFi is always on when playing, stock ROM, rooted.
The device gets hot - yesterday it spontaneously rebooted, I think because of the heat.
I've had same issues with my one x ht23. Touch screen looses sensitivity it can happen when in use or when waking device. Flicking screen off and on a few times clears it. Same on various roms but random. Hoping its software issue.
Been doing it for a few weeks. Was fine to start with.

Preventing screen burn ON Galaxy Note 4

Preventing screen burn
What is the best way to prevent screen retention on the Note 4? I am very familiar with this kind of anomaly simply because I have been working with AV for years and this is an issue with Plasma TV's and seems to be an issue with AMOLED. I am replacing my Note 4 (new one should be here tomorrow) because of screen retention on the notification bar. Verizon warranty covers it. I know plasma TV's have methodologies to prevent this such as pixel shift and scroll bars but the Note has no such things. I use Nova launcher and I auto hide the notification bar, but the notification bar is present in all my apps that aren't full screen. My problem is with Messaging and that I am not terribly fast when it comes to it so I am in the messaging app with it displaying for quite a long time and I am thinking that is what caused it.
Other than auto hiding and dropping the brightness down all the way, what other solutions does this community have in preventing this. I don't really have a problem with calling Verizon every time this happens as they will overnight me a new phone every time, but the Note 5 came out I don't know if I will be so lucky getting an overnighted phone if one at all next time this happens.
Thank you,

Strange edge lighting behaviour

So I have a really strange thing going on with edge lighting which is driving me crazy.
Whenever I play Elder Scrolls Blades the edge lighting appears but only in the bottom of the screen. As far as I been able to tell this only happens in this app though I can't be 100% sure.
Now what is strange other than it happens only in the bottom of the screen is that it keeps happening every few seconds, there is no notifications received and it happens, if I disable edge lighting it still happens, no matter to what effect I set the lighting it always happens in stock blue.
I can't possibly figure out what is this and I tried everything, any ideas would be appreciated.
Same thing here, in at least 2 games...
Thought it was related to spen, but it seems not...
Tried to disable Game Launcher but still got these random bottom screen notification pulse... And stock blue aswell. Got no clue atm
Thanks for letting me know I'm not the only one experiencing this. I tried literally everything and nothing seems to fix it. What's also weird is that the lighting comes in irregular intervals, sometimes just going crazy and sometimes appearing much less.
I have just discovered this issue appears in all games so it's a bigger problem then I originally thought. If disabling the game launcher does nothing then it makes it even more strange and annoying.
Yeah, same here, happens on basically all the games.
Maybe related to game booster?
Let's try to compare our setup : are you using any notification enhancement app? (like aodNotify)
Are you using your spen while playing?
But yeah, this random glow line **** is driving me crazy too!
Currently I am using aodNotify though I tried uninstalling it and the problem persists, I also have goodlock installed and the edgeslighting+, same thing with and without it. I am not using the spen, but I have tried just taking it out while the game is running and leaving it out for 5 mins, no change. I have disabled and enabled the stock edge lighting as well and the problem is still there. Nothing seems to effect it. Its ridiculous
i tried on mobile legend adventure, no problem on it, perhaps a scaling issue?
Will try to tweak full screen mode.
Increasing dpi doesn't change the weird thing, neither switching from Samsung stock launcher to Nova...
Also I'm using gestures based navbar, but I also tried with or without tips display, standard navbar... Still occurring.
Did you go from a scratch Note 10+ or used SideSync to switch? (I was coming from a Note 8)
I don't think it has anything to do with scaling, I tried setting the game on full screen and automatic, both giving the same results.
I used Smartswitch from Note 9.
Later today the camera effect from aodnotify started appearing in the game aswell (landscape mode), along with the edge lighting.?
I uninstalled aodnotify afterwards, found out there is a aodnotify Manager plugin which stays after uninstalling the main app.
Uninstalled the plugin aswell, opened edgescreen from the system app and cleared cache.
It was showing the app was using RAM with high frequency.
I don't have the time to check now does this fix the problem but will let you know once I do.
The only other thing left to do if this doesn't work is to clear edge screen data.
Will try this aswell, and restore all the notifications and edge lightning settings...
What I wrote above didn't work so I disabled the option for edge screen to show on top of other apps, so far this seems to fix the problem.
Unfortunately I was wrong and nothing above fixes the problem. I also wiped the entire edge screen memory, no effect. This is the weirdest thing I ever encountered in my years of Samsung phones and it's extremely annoying that there is no fix.
Strange, I don't have any issue.
Did you try with and without locking the screen orientation to see if edge lightning follows settings as it should?
I personally only use auto orientation.
I also use auto rotation and it happens the same way in landscape and portrait, the most annoying thing is that it happens really much, like 2-3 times in 10 seconds, or sometimes doesn't happen for few minutes then starts going like crazy, and as I said before there is no notifications or anything.
Same here, auto rotate on, only occurring during games.
I don't even know if I can debug which process is running these random edge notifications, without dig into tons of log files...
And if not, I guess I'll try to factory reset and re-sync again..
Its incredible that a factory reset seems like only possible solution left but I hope maybe some future update will fix it since I hate doing factory reset. Please keep me posted if you discover anything new.
Hating doing it aswell but this is too damn annoying..
If no clue, I'll go for a restore without restoring system settings... Maybe some notifications behaviors have been messed up
I'll keep you in touch for sure
Tried to wipe cache partition, still no clues...
Did this also got triggered in portrait mode game?
So confusing...
Yes it happens in all games no matter of the screen orientation. I really have no more ideas aswell
Got some news, another post is talking about this : https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-10+/help/strange-blue-bar-games-t3963939
Seems related to the new game booster feature "temp and cpu monitoring"
Will try to disable this for a specific game and see...

Notification bar pull down stutter after unlocking phone

I searched forum for similiar issues but could not found anything(though there are some reddit topics).
When I wake the phone with power button or fingerprint sensor, and try to pull down notification bar, there is a stutter/lag lasts 1-2 seconds. Lets say you pull up for app drawer there is nothing but pull down and there it is.
Also wallpaper seems to affect it a little bit but it might be a placebo effect as it still stutters(light the way wallpaper seems to solve it a little bit.).
It started after Android 10 update and I even tried to clean flashing whole rom but result is same and I do not have any UI altering apps.
It seems like a slow wake up issue and may be playing with sleep frequencies might solve it but I did not root so it is not a option for me.
Is anyone else facing this ? Vanilla or custom roms/kernels ?
Yep, I have the same issue. It's pretty annoying, but I did get it to stop, for me at least it seems the new gesture navigation is causing this because I can't get it to stutter while using the 2 or 3 button navigation methods. I've had this happening since I updated to Android 10 (stable release, not beta) but after a while it just fixed itself, unfortunately my phone ran out of battery yesterday and today after I booted it up it came back to haunt me :/
Alright I got it to stop, disabling both "New notification" and "Double-tap to check phone" did it for me. Hopefully this helps.

I have exactly the same issue on my Pixel 2XL, manage to fix it by disabling Google Feed on the left of the main home screen. Try it let me know if it works.
Update 1: disabling google feed doesn't work. I try to switch back to 3 button navigation and the issue gone.
I do not know how but now it is smooth everytime I try to wake phone and double tap+alwayson display is enabled. Also I tried all wallpapers and it works without any stutter.
Probably monthly updates fixed it, idk.
