Please post your first impressions of the JPH firmware. A changelog and bugs encountered would also be helpful.
Thanks!

I'd be curious to know whether the thing that occurred with JPC on sim locked phones is still happening with this firmware - the product code changing and the phone asking for a network code. I really don't want to root my phone and go through the file copying again - I like it nice and stock-y.

If you pinch-zoom in the applications menu this is now smooth =)
edit:
That was only true until I installed apps and had 5 pages of apps
First impressions best 2.2 out there at the moment. No lag, very responsive mind you not downloaded many apps at the moment. No market missing apps.
I find 2.2 is hardly as exciting as what people make it out to be.

For someone that uses flash 99% of the time on the web, 2.2 is a gift from God himself.

JPH After 3 Hours Review:
Zero issues so far for me. I'm using the APK lagfix. Everything is nice and snappy (with and without the lagfix, although the lagfix seems to makes it better).
GPS seems to get an accurate lock very quickly indoors. (Started up maps, it found the nearest cellphone tower instantly with a 1km radius or something, then found my location perfectly after ~6 seconds. Going to street view once it had my location took my directly outside my house. Not the best GPS test ever, but it worked as well as any other GPS I've ever seen for that simple task.)
Compass seems to be as flaky as ever. This might be a hardware problem with my phone though, since the compass has always been flaky.
Blacks in videos seem as good as ever, and it played a few video files I gave it without issues.
Google market worked without issue, and wifi/hsdpa worked well. No issues with sdcards or anything like that either.
Internet browser is the best I've seen it, with flashing loading and playing smoothly without affecting speed on the rest of the page. Full page engadget with flash ads along the top and right side scrolled very smoothly after loading fully.
Games work the same that they've always worked (zero change, there aren't any games out that tax the GPU yet.)
I'll post a further review after using it for 24 hours or so.
Sorry to disturb your happyness and the overall enthusiasm
But.
Similar to JPC there is still an great Problem or Bug.
As JPC, JPH also dont sync tasks and appointments that are created with another app than the built in stock calendar
This is (for me, and for everyone who want to use the Galaxy seriously for Buisiness and Task planning) an absolutely bad behaviour.
I use Jorte and at first Quick Addroid for adding and editing Tasks. Because the Stock Calendar is to poor in Functionality and not very comfortable.
So if i add an Task with e.g. Quick Addroid, it appears in Device in all installed Calendar apps but is not synced with Google.
If i then edit and save it in Stock Calendar, then it will be synced.
Maybe, it belongs to changes in the code in Froyo, that ar not compatible with not samsung apps. Maybe the programmers have to fix it in their Software.
But also maybe that it is an Bug and Samsung have to fix this.

To be honest, I doubt this is a dealbreaker for 99% of people.
I think it would be classed as a 'minor annoyance'! As far as I know, syncing (google integration in general) has changed a bit in 2.2, so it's probably the app that has to be updated. I could be way off here though.
Scrolling trough the Touchwiz icons in the menu is very sluggish here. Eclair was way smoother. Is just me?

Nope, it isn't just you. I've done factory reset and it's the same.
I knew it isn't so good when I saw that the boot animation was slow and sluggish.

Maybe you´r right.
But this is my experience and my oppinion.
So far, so bad.
If this is (and i think so, as you) an problem of the apps, that ar not compatible with Froyo, then i hope they fix it asap.
For me is the proper sync of all Data and tasks absolutely mandatory. And so i have to downgrade (once again) to JM8
Very bad.
Much more because i really appreciate and like the new Functions in Froyo.

Is WiFi Router working for you? I just get on H icon in notification bar upload arrow highlighted, download arrow stays gray all the time and theres no connection on PC. On USB tethering i get few pings nicely and then connection is broken for few seconds. I have to try this with other FW, maybe it's my provider fault but maybe you have simmilar problem?
Well...then , not worth upgrading from JM8 , i guess
Uhhh, theres also problem with compass and calibration. Every phone restart they are changing to default which is bad and compass after reboot always shows that theres wrong magnetic field and it shows wrong directions.

Never had good experiences with Samsung products and support... they only want to sell, get OUR money, and then tell their customers to screw themselves.
Did anyone else notice that Facebook Messenger has become really sluggish after the update to Lollipop? I am running the latest Viper Lollipop ROM and for some reason Facebook Messenger has been performing really poorly. I tried rebooting the device and reinstalling the app to no avail. I'd write a message and after I hit send, it'd just lag the whole device (kinda like freeze it) for a while and then come back to life.
I'm not sure if anyone else is experiencing that, but I believe I've read similar complaints about it so I thought I should ask for information and/or advice.
Are there similar apps to Facebook Messenger than work better than it does? IM+ perhaps?
Thanks guys!
Hi, I'm on stock Lollipop and don't experience any problems.
Try to use the search function a bit better next time

I'm on stock and the app is fine until i send a message it then lags for ages until the message has sent then it is fine again until i send another message. I've been tempted to cleare the cache/data for the app and give it another go. So yeah i'm having the same issue as you.

Thank you! I am sorry I just thought of starting a new thread since I didn't see any recent one dedicated to it (may have missed it) - my apologies. I tried the one where I disabled the in-app sounds and it seems to have worked!
I was having the same issue on ViperROM but i guess i got an update today and now the messenger is working smooth.
Okay, just figured it out. disable "Use NuPlayer" option from your devlopers setting and the messenger would work fine.
Is anyone else have problems when scrolling web pages? My phone laggs pretty much in browser. Sometimes less, sometimes more. Problem can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jttoOoC8k_Q#t=00m07s
Loaded page is http://m.monitor.hr, browser is android default browser (but same problem exists in Chrome).
it is probably a lot of advertisment content inside
in my G4 is same as you - laggy
Yeh, I've had lots of problems using chrome on some web pages. Seems to be advertising.
I'm now using Opera, which runs smoother for me.
@johnny8910
if you rooted already you can use adaway app
which is adblock - very pleasant function to me

It's totally smooth here using UCBrowser (rooted + adblocked of course) :good:
It's driving me crazy, especially because I'm using desktop browse agent. I desperately need root+adblock, tried the adblock plus without root solution didn't work well.
Tried that page on mine. it's as smooth as silk with no lag at all.

I have it installed and updated, but still get some issues.
Thanks for you replies guys.
It is true that page on video is loaded with adds, but by my old Samsung Galaxy S4 scrolls it without problems same as my 7" Alcatel tablet bought for less than 40€.
From your replies it seems that some of us have this issue and some not. I'm considering to ask for a replacement unit because I tried other unit in T-Mobile center and that one didn't have problems with laggy scrolling.
Will try to do a factory reset and test it again (shame because of lost time for settting it up).
Hard reset did not solve the problem I think I will try to get replacement tomorrow.

Sorry to necro this thread, but this link might help.
I can't post links, so just Google "10 speed hacks to make chrome faster"
Basically,
You can use chrome flags to give chrome access to more memory and other thing thing that help chrome scroll smoother. Just got the lg g4 and giving chrome 512 memory seemed to help.
Firefox is laggy in scrolling, also when rooted and adaway installed. Opera or Chromium is very smooth on my G4...
My OnePlus 5T doesn't show large image files on browsers. I checked on a different phone and it all worked fine. I tried Chrome and Firefox Focus and got no luck. I tried reboot, reinstalling the apps, deleting cache but nothing worked. I did some testing and I think an image of some particular number of pixels and above doesn't appear.
The largest image I got that shows up is 3649*4543, 16,577,407. The smallest image that doesn't is 3923*4656, 18,265,448.
(I thought I would add links but since I'm a new user, I am not allowed to include links, I don't think giving partial links to bypass this policy is justifiable, so...)
Edit8: Now I can post with URLs.
For the former: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/53/Farida_Arriany,_c._1960_(signed).jpg
For the latter: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8f/United_States_Declaration_of_Independence.jpg
And when I try the latter, I get this.
http://imgur.com/X2k6doV
The firmware version: OxygenOS 5.1.7
Just to be sure: It is not that loading isn't completed.
Edit6: To be clear, the 3923*4656 file is not corrupted or anything. It works perfectly fine on my previous phones and a friend's phone. Also, Snehasish1994 confirmed me that it works fine. I mainly use the 3923*4656 file because it's public domain.
Edit10: I've been mistaking snehasish1994 for snesish1994. I apologize.
This is really strange. Strongly hope someone can help me out.
Edit1: Maybe this issue is limited to JPEG files. A bigger PNG file of the resolution of 4300*5500 appeared on a different website. It complicates the issue further. I can't even think of any cause.
Edit2: I tried "Download link" on the latter 3923*4656 file. I was able to download and see it on Google Photo. However, I couldn't see it when I tapped "Open" upon the completion of download and opened the file in, I guess, Chrome, all I saw were blackness and a small square at the centre.
Edit3: I found that I cannot upload the bigger 3923*4656 file on Twitter. Twitter responds "Some of your media failed to load" right after I finished selecting it for uploading. I think it meets the file requirements of Twitter. And what's more maddening is that the 4300*5500 PNG file I mentioned earlier could be uploaded despite not meeting the requirements. I think this has confirmed my suspicion that something, be it Chrome or some system service or whatever, is refusing to load or process and render large image files (most likely limited to JPEG files) for apparently no reason. I am inclined to believe that this is purely software related issue.
Edit4: And now on Imgur I was able to upload the 3923*4656 JPEG file. This is insane. I really, really hope someone of knowledge will help me out.
Edit5: I tried uploading the 3923*4656 JPEG file again. On Tumblr it was successful, both from Chrome and the Tumblr app. On Pixiv it was a failure from Chrome. On Imgur, as I tested earlier, it was successful when I chose "Upload from Device" but it seems to have failed when I chose "Paste Web URLs" from Chrome. I didn't try the Imgur app.
Edit7: Since reboot and reinstall don't work, I suspect that it is not easily fixable via usual settings and such. Maybe clean flash?... I don't know.
From the fact that on Tumblr and Imgur I can upload the 3923*4656 JPEG file, I suspect that the process that is required on some sites during attaching large image files is not properly working. And this process may also be related to image rendering.
Edit9: It seems that those images are actually loaded into Chrome, or browsers but they just don't get displayed.
I think this is the case because:
1. I was able to download the image on (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8f/United_States_Declaration_of_Independence.jpg) via Option > the download button on Chrome.
2. I downloaded a whole page (https://shakespearedocumented.folger.edu/file/details/151) as an mhtml file, again via Option > the download button on Chrome. When I view it on my OnePlus 5T the image didn't appear expectedly but when I view the same file on a PC offline running Windows 10, the image was displayed. So it is clear that the image is actually contained in that mhtml file, thus I think it is safe to say that the image is actually loaded into Chrome. But it does not show up somehow.
Can you message me the link so I can check that for you?

Yes, I thought that too. But I leave them off for the whole time. I just double checked the setting it was off. Besides I do not have that option on Firefox Focus. Just to make sure, I understand that there is no data saving option on OnePlus 5T itself. Am I right? The battery saving is obviously off.
Snehasish1994, PM'd you. Thanks.
Is it possible that my OnePlus 5T is defective, even though everything else seems to be fine? I got it only few days ago.

I'm on stable. I don't have a good memory but as far as I can remember, I got mine with Android 7.1.1 installed. Then I got OTA twice, now the OxygenOS version is 5.1.7. Android security patch level says 1 October 2018. When I was downloading the latest OTA update the internet connection went down. I don't remember exactly how it happened though. Could this have caused this weird problem?
What does it mean to switch channel? Does it involve difficult-for-layman operations?

I got this from expansys. So I'm not really sure if I can get warranty from OnePlus itself. Expansys stated that flashing ROM will void their warranty. Having said that, I will ask if I can get warranty from OnePlus.
Follow-up.
I am still trying to solve this issue within the current state. But I am now suspecting the issue could only be solved, if it's even solvable, via likes of complete factory reset, clean flash and such. So I started contacting the shop and OnePlus trying to confirm details about warranty and also asking for tech support, now waiting for their responses.
People are still very cooperative, but as of now no one has figured out what the cause may be.
I will be updating as things progress.
I just found that picture-in-picture doesn't function in addition. My understanding is that if you activate this feature by accepting apps to use it via Settings > Apps > Special access > Picture-in-picture > (any app) > Allow picture-in-picture and no additional tweak required, it will do just that. I know that outside of NA, YouTube doesn't do it unless you are a YouTube premium member. I checked this on Chrome and Tumblr.
At this point I'm almost convinced that there are a few more issues I haven't encountered yet and these issues, though looking like they are unrelated, may have arisen from one cause.
I haven't received any response after the last post so I'm not going rush to clean flash and see if these problems can be fixed but it's so tempting to say the least.
I hope that some people still read this thread.
Edit: Oops. Picture in picture does work. I was too nervous, it seems. But the original problem persists so the situation is no better than before.
After checking details about warranty coverage with OnePlus and Expansys, I tried hard factory reset and ROM flash. And sadly, both didn't work.
Snehasish1994 suggested that I try remote debugging, which seems quite overwhelming for me but I will see what I can do.
But well, I am considering return or replacement at this point really. Because, what else can I do? It may not seem like a deal breaker but I use large JPG files quite often, like really often.
I've been mistaking the guy's name snehasish1994 for snesish1994. I apologize.
Update
Yes, the problem persists, still.
I went to a local repair shop. I told them about the symptom and what I confirmed thus far. They were unable to solve the issue. And they said that it is safe not to open the back and inspect the internal to keep the warranty intact. I got no new information there except that they think the problem is too complex to be hardware related, which is a relief at least.
Snehasish1994 is still helping me solve it. Thank you, snehasish. Now, he inquired me if I tried Firefox and actually I hadn't at that point, except for Firefox Focus. I tried Firefox and to my surprise it works as it should!
But then, I am still unsure as to whether the issue on Chrome and Firefox Focus, which are my go-to browsers, can be fixed. I use Firefox Focus much less than Chrome so I am okay even if the issue on Firefox Focus won't be fixed but I can't accept it on Chrome both because I use it most often and it is now the only proprietary web browsing app provided by Google.
Oh, and in the first post in this thread, I said, at Edit9, that the image seems to be loaded into Chrome. This was confirmed via DevTools. Again, snehasish suggested me that I use it. So if I can tell Chrome (and hopefully Firefox Focus as well) to render large JPG files, I should be good to go.
That's all I got since the last post, I think.
Finally, having tried every possible solution only to find the issue was still there, I went for a replacement. I will be receiving it in the next few days or so. Hopefully there will be no problem.
I think anything beyond this point will all be irrelevant to the topic of this thread so this would be my last post on this thread.
It was really annoying to deal with the issue, but I am grateful to find people on xda are helpful. Snehasish in particular has helped me a lot.
That last post would have been the final post. If the replacement didn't have the same problem...
It got delivered a few hours ago. The first thing I checked was of course that nasty issue. It was depressing to see the same issue but I thought "well, it can't be a faulty device or a one-off bug then".
With the clues I listed on this thread, I was testing again. I was thinking about why on earth Firefox can display those images while Firefox Focus can't. And I discovered that the two browsers use different browser engines: The former uses Mozilla's in-house Gecko engine whereas the latter uses Google's Webview engine, which Chrome uses too. But fortunately, Mozilla is trying to implement Gecko on Firefox Focus lately and there's the Nightly version, which has Gecko. I immediately tried it. Boom, the images in question appeared. I'm just a layman so I know nothing about technical details, but I believe that the problem is somehow related to Google's Webview engine.
It may be beyond my capability to dig any deeper but this had me interested.
Anyway, life is tough.
Another followup.
I updated the firmware to the latest OOS 9.0.1. And the problems I have discussed are gone for good it seems. I can now view large images without any problem. After all it turned out I didn't have to replace the previous device then.
Anyway, I'm pretty happy with my 5t now. I hope no one else is facing this issue but if anyone is, hope this thread helps.
Not sure if it is a coincidence or not, but ever since I upgraded to 10.5, my app drawer has been a mess. It is displaying a bunch of apps in keys that I've never been shown before, IE the Carrier services app, the titanium pro version app, etcetera. These are all things that launchers have kept hidden in the past. Any idea what is causing them to display in the app drawer now? Not a big deal just very irritating to have it so cluttered all of a sudden
I've had the same since I got the phone on 10.0.3. No idea why. As you say it's not a big deal but I'd like to know. I wonder if these apps need to be updated for something different in Android 10.

yeah, good point. It may have to do with the afternoon to be updated. Either way it's just a nuisance, I guess that is what we get for being early adopters
