q: why is my home screen loading so slow?

After exiting my programs and pressing home button..my load screen is extremtly slow in loading the clock and icons.
Also my typing is super laggy. Seems to have half a second delay when typing or deleting.
I feel after i rooted and flashed its been much slower
How can i solve this?

Without knowing more it would be hard to troubleshoot.
First thing I would look at is memory and cpu usage with something like system tuner.
Then look at your rom/kernel (most likely the problem)

Normal stuff like cpu usage.. If you notice you have a lot of third party widgets taking a lot of cpu etc..
Regarding rom, might want to ask in that thread see if others have the same problem.. Also might want to try basic stuff like wiping cache..

why would you regret rooting? Seems silly I've rooted a bunch of devices with no issues like yours, its obviously something else that's slowing you down

Yes but ive had it in before and it wasn't an issue. I also turned it off and still laggy

Well what I would do is just start over from the beginning, wipe everything then reflash your rom and then see if everything goes back to normal

Does anyone else have a problem where screen rotation stops working?

I have had the problem twice now where screen rotation stops working (even in apps where I **KNOW** it should work (like Facebook). I try toggling the option in the quick bar on and off to see if I can get it to come back but nothing. I have to reboot to get it back.
I downloaded an app from the market called GyroRotate to see if it is a hardware problem but it doesn't appear to be since the app responds appropriately when it isn't working.
Any ideas?

Iv had that very same issue a few times. For me it would get stuck in either landscape or portrait. It hasnt happened in a while though. Is smart rotation turned off in settings?

Yeah it is unchecked.

I have had this happen once to me. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it, but I had not rebooted the phone in about three weeks. Usually I reboot once a week(had an HTC before the Note 2, old habits die hard).

I'm completely stock, I did the OTA update and my screen rotation stopped working. Well I'm not exactly sure if it was the OTA update that caused the problem because i didn't have the phone long enough before i applied the update, so it might have been broken just overlooked it. Most of the time it works but the youtube app does not rotate. I have to restart the phone to get it working again and then after some time, don't know what causes the problem, it will stop working again.

Yup same problem but even when its stuck, samsung apps like email or calculator will rotate, its weird and annoying at times, especially since I cant figure out whats causing it. Im also stock and rooted

Try calibrating in settings then motions and then find gyroscope calibration

I have the same problem since the ota update. It happens about every other day and the only way to fix it is a reboot. I've tried toggling autorotation on and off and tried calibrating the gyro and nothing fixes it

I really don't think this is a Q&A issue, which is why I posted it here.
Q&A Issue would be something like - How can I enable WI-FI through a widget.
A possible bug like this one doesn't belong in Q&A IMO.

100% stock and it has happened several times to me as well.

I suspect that it might have something to do with advanced display options. In addition to "auto-rotate screen" there is a "Smart rotation" mode which - if enabled - may disable screen rotation (it checks orientation of your face).

This is a known issue... I had it once before and it's never returned... There's a thread about it somewhere... the fix involves removing the battery and rebooting...

Two questions
Does anyone know of a way to firmly reproduce this error???
How can we report stuff like this to Samsung to get fixed.

I have had that bug too. Only thing that fixed it was a reboot.

Don't know how to fix, i haven't really follow the thread to be honest.
I would start by contacting ATT (611 and ask for tech support), and then Samsung (look in their website).

I would like to be able to firmly reproduce the problem before I contact anyone since they will disregard it (IMO) until I can.

Turn the phone off and then back on make sure you see the little red light in the motion sensor turn on for a second. Rebooting doesn't fix the issue. Sometimes you may have to turn off three finger boot to recovery and reboot system.

Trickle Charging Using Battery Monitor Widget

So I'm on Android 4.2.2 (LiquidSmooth v2.2),
and pretty much ever since a long time ago, I use Battery Monitor Widget to charge the battery to most maximum capacity.
I would make the update rate every 1 minute, then as the % goes from 99--->100%, I would see the charge rate slowly but surely go from +200mA to +100 to +50 to +2 to +1mA....then once it reached +0mA, I knew the charge was COMPLETELY done (I had even set up a notification trigger to play music once "Charging Completed" had been properly reached)
However, recently, for some reason, or maybe it's the ROM or maybe I'm doing this wrong to begin with, but the "mA" will not hit +0mA, it was just stuck at +1mA.
Neither does the music/song play to indicate "Charging Complete". What is going on? I use Greenify but I made an exception for this application.
Any help?

It's probably the rom. It could be something to do with the enhancements he has on it.

I checked it out and you should probably check out the settings, go under sounds and alarms. Also a recalibration might help.

[Q] Screen Flickering?

Hello,
Hope all is well.
I was wondering if anyone experienced an issue with their Samsung Galaxy S4 where the screen flickers on the bottom 3/4 of the screen with a greyish tint? Not sure what is causing this and can't seem to figure out if it is a hardware or software issue.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated - thank you!!

I'm afraid that is a hardware defect.

Hardware defects are covered by warranty. So long as you can reproduce the flickering on a 100 percent non rooted stock ROM.

Doubtful it is hardware
I have been having this problem since the 4.3 update. It usually only happens when the screen dims down due to screen timeout. Then it will start to get worse and project the flicker at regular brightness. A reboot usually fixes the problem or lessens it for a period of time.
I have tried with and without my live wallpaper, auto brightness on and off. Some people have recommended a factory reset to see if that clears it, but I have not been willing to do that yet since I have data that I do not want to loose and have not had the time to really troubleshoot. I am completely stock.
This has been driving me crazy for a while now. If you do factory reboot please post if makes a difference.

I think I've found the best solution out there for most annoying screen flickering issues... Done a substential amount of digging and finally discovered the app "Twillight" which works like a real charm by enabling backlight control feature... Try it out first, then thank me and share your experience here ...

Have an issue with DS-NE5v1-ButtNaked

Ok so first off I have been around xda for quite some time but have never really posted to threads so basically I would like to get more involved in the community,
My issue that I have is with dicksteele's DS-NE5v1-ButtNaked Rom. I get random lockups so where only my power button works to turn the screen on and off but I have to end up rebooting the phone by taking out the battery. My phone randomly restarts also. Has anybody else ran into these issues and found a solution?

Have you already tried wiping and reflashing?

@lonesoulja I have the same issues. Random reboot while phone is just sitting on my desk and lockups where a battery pull is the only option. I don't think my phone likes agni or the agni settings.

Man....I totally jinxed myself. Literally 5 mins after I made that previous post my phone locked up again. Did a battery pull and the phone just freezes at the Samsung boot screen. Battery pull again and try vol up home power to get into custom recovery and it gets to the TWRP blue screen and looks like its going to start then reboots again then freezes at Samsung. Tried it 20 times pulling the battery with no luck. Now I am just letting it sit and charging up my old iPhone....good lord.
