Galaxy Note 2 lagging after a few days of use??

I got my phone last monday and today my phone was lagging while swipping through home screens, app drawer and even in settings. It was like project butter was shutdown and I was back to the epic 4g. Thought kind strange giving the specs on this phone.. I have stock jb and no root.
After a restart everything went back to normal.
Just curious, does this happen to everyone here? Is this normal to happen after 2-3 days of use?

You must not be actually closing apps just hitting home I assume but if not then idk the problem

Yes I did close them... I even tried force closing all. Not sure why the phone was struggling a little.

you didn't enable power saving mode by any chance?
also, android should be fairly good at managing your memory. i believe google doesn't really recommend task killers because whenever you kill tasks that the OS needs, it'll just reload it, which itself consumes resources (maybe more resource than letting the process simply idle). so just leave those processes alone.

Are you running SetCPU? Make sure it didn't accidentally severely under clock you. That happened to me once and SETCPU was running me at 200 mhz for some reason.

I would double check on all the apps you've previously installed. I'm still on stock JB unrooted as well since released day (Oct 25), not once I've experience any lag that yours producing. Heck I've loaded a bunch of games and apps now my main storage is down to a gig, even then I haven't noticed any slow down. This phone is a beast thats all I can say.

Yeah, thats unfortunate because if anything the phone should speed up after a few days of use. Why don't you just keep it to the 1 thread you started in the GT 7100 forum? You already got 4 pages of responses there. And post a video of what you're talking about because the phone should not lag at all with power savings off.

I agree, i'm leaning towards user error in his case. This phone is on constant steroids.

I didn't strat a thread there... just replied to one and it was a different are of problem anyway..
Guys.. I didn't install any task killer, I just force off using that long pressing home button and going into running apps, the phone, no power saving mode on, still unrooted and very few apps. I use Android for 3 years and I looked all the places to make sure settings would not be causing this and it was not.
Really weird problem... it's fine now I just hope it keeps running this way by tomorrow.. I'll let you all know, if anything I'll make a video if I can reproduce.

Don't close the apps down just back out of them because you'll lag more when your phone sits there trying to open them all up again and cache them. But I agree its a strange problem, if this occurs againit might be something very specific.

That's strange. Yeah I would pay close attention to the problem and if it do come back, then maybe you probably have a bad note II. You never know, not everything are created equal. In that case I would take it in for a repair person to check it out.

Is there a way to know if all cores are running on stock Android?
I've also seen some sick battery life in this phone, but not on mine. Yesterday I got 12 hours with about 3 1/2 of screen, with few and short phone calls. What I used the most on this phone was the internet and the browser..
Not sure if these are related.
EDIT.... I installed CPU usage Monitoring and the 4th core stays off most of the time.. when I opened videos and messed with more apps it started working so I'm answering myself on that. Also, I played a video with the pop up function and the cpu only gets to about 30% and not even on all cores... wow.. the processing power here is really impressive.

[Q] Galaxy Nexus Sleep of Death

Problem: Cannot turn on the screen by pressing the power button sometimes. The screen is black or very dim, I cannot tell. One can see nothing on the screen, and it doesn’t accept any touch input, either. The phone still rings if there’s an incoming call. If this happens, the following several presses (about 10 - 20) on the power button will probably lead to a reboot. The “screen auto-rotate” and the proximity sensor may fail after the reboot, but will recover after a manual reboot.
Frequency: Fewer with higher Rom version. About once per day for 4.3.
Other description:
 The problem frequently happens when I just take the phone outside my house/office, and seldom happens when the phone just stays somewhere.
 The problem seems to be irrelevant to the remaining battery capacity or the uptime, but it never happens when charging.
 The problem seems to be irrelevant to the Apps installed.
 The problem seldom happens in the first 3-4 days after flashing a Rom, but happens more and more frequently as time goes by. My guess is some cache is stuffed by some trash, which causes the problem. The phone may be fine as long as the trash can be cleaned up on a regular basis.
 I manually reboot my phone at most every two days.
Solutions tried, but don’t work
 Flashing official ROMs 4.0.4, 4.1.1, 4.1.2, 4.2.2 and 4.3 following the procedure “adb reboot bootloader; fastboot oem unlock; flash-all; fastboot oem lock”, without google wallet, not rooted.
 Turning off the auto-brightness control, as suggested by some post on the Internet.

Does it look like it goes to standby normally or does the screen show gibberish and then turns off?

Thank you very much.
I think it's standing-by normally even through the screen is black (or very dim, I cannot tell), since it rings if there's an incoming call. I can see nothing from the screen, and I don't think the screen accepts any touch input, either.
Does this answer your question? Thank you.

Was just asking if you had gibberish yes or no. In that case i've got a different issue than you (Suspecting f*cked GPU).
Have you tried a different ROM/Kernel combination maybe it's related to that.

No, I just tried the official ROMs. Any suggestion?

Perhaps it's just busy in the background and running low on RAM. Give LagFix a try. Sorry can't link atm as I am on mobile...

LagFix does NOT help in my case. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

I've also had this blank screen with calls still ring issue for as long as I can remember, nearly 2.5 yrs.
I've always suspected it's my ROM and so I'd try out another ROM'S, BUT no other ROM works like how I'd like, so I always come back to my ROM.
It doesn't happen every single day, but it does happen very often.
I've tried using apps that auto reboot daily, but eventually this blank screen issue will return.
Unfortunately I can't seem to find any solution, so I just put up with it, it's like the 1 only flaw with my ROM.
&
Not to be at all rude, but I'm really glad op has had this issue from testing other versions of Android, cause then at least I know I don't need to give up my great tablet mode ROM.
LOL

I think I've finally found a work around for this screen of death.
Using Exposed, download/install this module/extension:
Disable Proximity
http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.mrchandler.disableprox
It does exactly what it's name is and ever since then I've not once had to remove my GN battery to work again because the screen went completely dead.

NVM
Screen still goes dead.
Anyone find an actual fix to this?

isajoo,
I had pretty much the same problems with my Galaxy Nexus running CyanogenMod 11 M12.
It got better by doing the following :
Blowing dry air in the earpiece… though the proximity sensor is clearly beside it. Can't do any harm though, I guess.
Settings/Applications/All/menu/Reset applications preferences (or whatever that's called in english) : that seemed to do a lot of good to my phone ! However, it's a very unsatisfactory answer on a technical point of view, as I still don't know WHAT was precisely needed. It's a "magic wand" solution for which I can't give an explanation.
Not specifically related, but greatly helped my phone in the responsiveness area : Trimmer (fstrim) (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fifthelement.trimmer), an updated version of LagFix that you may already know
Hope that helped !
(I wanted to try http://www.androidlegend.com/how-to-perform-proximity-sensor-calibration-on-any-samsung-phone/ as well, but apparently, /sys/class/sensors/proximity_sensor/prox_cal does not exist on my phone…)

T807 Root News ?

Was just wondering if anyone with the T807 10.5 tablet might want to share any news as to gaining root for our devices. I've begun feeling like the bastard child over here. This is my first tablet and I love how well it's performing. I just really hope that the processor in this model is not worth anyones effort to try to work on.
At any rate, should anyone want to share any news or any other info on the T807 model matbe this can be the place to start ! I surly can't be alone .. can I ?? Maybe we can get some sharp developers attention.

I'm right here with you. I check Xda every day. I have pm'd chainfire already but nothing yet until the firmware is release I guess. I have tried to extract the recovery but no luck. I guess it's going to be a waiting game.

Battery is not an issue. I've only had mine two weeks. I watch a lot of videos on CNN and YouTube. When I first got the tablet my battery did seem a little sluggish. most likely the result of all the crap that was being downloaded automatically the first day or two. I noticed now that after a few cycles of charging things have settled down and I'm getting adequate battery life. to be honest this tablet is a beast and I love it. I've watched close to an hours worth of videos this morning only down 7 percent. maybe you have some rogue application running in the background ?

I didn't even have mine out of the box that it came in and I was on XDA already! I was just getting ready to install the t-800 version when I realized I had the T807 model. anyway I'm just glad I'm not alone

I got mine right when it was available from sprint and at first there was one other person on here looking but the number of people are climbing everyday. Hopefully the firmware is released soon and we will have root shortly after.

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF U DAMAGE YOUR DEVICE OR DELETE DATA....PLEASE ATTEMPT THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!
first i suggest reading through the thread linked below so u will know what i do...long story short though there is a user here by the name of @BDA_Rival who basically did the worse thing possible by trying to root his SNAPDRAGON 807 with an EXYNOS 805 cf auto root and as u may have guess ended up soft bricking it (its hard to actually permanently break it...although the fact that the odin firmware is unavailable at the moment is a bit of an issue). The ONLY reason i'm even suggesting this is because there is a known working way of getting the tab back booting & worse case u can return it & say it messed up during an over the air update or something. Ok...so what ended up saving the other guy was twrp for the NOTE PRO 12.2 905 LTE which is not only snapdragon but apparently uses the same partition structure (just to be clear...twrp only caused the device to become bootable again but does NOT actually function properly most likely due to different display drivers). So....with all of that said it is QUITE possible that the cfauto root file for the P905 could be used to root the sprint/verizon (full disclosure...the other users tab was a sprint variant) version of the tab s! Did i mention that there was a catch...well even if this does work due to the nature of how @Chainfire root method works u will be left with a copy of the stock note pro recovery instead of the origial 807 version which most likely will NOT work combined with the fact that there is a no cwm or twrp for your device yet (should be an easy fix if we could get the devs attention) and u will be left with a device that boots possibly with root as well but WITHOUT recovery.

^807 root brick thread (advise reading before trying...its only 2 pages long)
just wanted to add...the user tried the suggested autoroot in post #6 but that didnt work & the one mentioned here is linked in post #14

Id love to root, but I am perfectly fine holding off until we have our versions firmware available. Root is another thing (as I've noticed lately with phones) that I have seen, where users can obtain root with other similar models. Having TWRP from the Note Pro work is going in the right direction for us.
I'll definitely be watching the thread you linked. Thanks for your post.

I usually get 4.5 days per charge with 7 plus hours of screen time. Lots of Web surfing on network and youtube. There is a trick to condition your battery when you first use a new device it solve your issue currently.
I always setup then use my new device until the battery dies. Then recharge fully before the next use.
My setup includes tuning the sound, I disable all click tones and vibrations including touch vibration
WIFI
WiFi alway on, ALL Wifi >Advanced options disabled
SCREEN
The display I set to 25% then set to auto
Screen timeout set to 30 seconds
Smart screen disable reading disabled
Reading mode Disney
SYNC ACCOUNT
Gmail sync all disabled (when I read my Gmail I manually sync)
I have two email accounts I sync automatically for my business
GPS
GPS disbled unless in use
Disable locations and notification for all apps expect Google maps
MESSAGING
Messaging notification on but sound disabled
WIDGETS
Weather widget set to refresh hourly (this is the only widget I used which syncs)
No Facebook Twitter or other accounts , If I had them I would sync them manually
I also have a cover with magnets which disables screen when I close the cover
The procedure has become second nature for all my new devices
SG Note OG , note 2 and 3. On these phone I get 7 plus hours of talk time per day mostly on bluetooth with 2 - 3 hours of screen time over 18 hours mostly on the network, and moderate music streaming
I hope this helps
Ethan me know. ..

What i do is I turn wifi scanning off when connected to a network. I also set my brightness to 25 percent and keep auto brightness off which works better for me. Smart stay on, adapt display off and set to cimema mode, smart pause off, and debloated some things such as knox,flipboard,buiness+,sidesync since im rooted. Hope this helps for anyone else too!

We need to be careful about these threads-- evidently ALL US LTE versions have the SM-T**7 naming convention, including the exynos AT&T version. As far as I know, the Verizon and Sprint versions are T807.

I have the t807 for tmobile ( non snapdragon )
used the 805 auto root.
worked just fine.
I am not trying anything else, such as twrp and roms
unit the official development is done

I just bought the 807T from T-Mobile too. When you restart your Tablet holding the home, volume control and power button bring you to a download screen? I don't get that option. Instead I get a image of the android laying down with a exclamation mark coming out of his stomach and the options:
reboot system now
apply update from ADB
apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache
Am I doing something wrong?

Looks like you're pressing volume down instead of volume up.

Umm. Volume down, home key, and power button ??

POWER + HOME + VOL DOWN = Download mode.
POWER + HOME +VOL UP = Recovery.

USB 3.1, WIFI, Battery and Camera

Hi guys, first i would thank you for the real reviews of this phone i would consider it a masterpiece, especially after we unlock it is true power from the developer option
I have some question :
1. I have the phone now for nearly 3 months, it is really good phone with a decent battery life, but the last couple days were something weird happening, i have noticed that there is some increasing the power consumption, and the consumption from the Kernal ( Android OS ) and it is activated by Google service, anybody else noticed that in the last week exactly ?
2. I have bought USB 3.1 to Type C cables from Aukey, everything went good but when i connect the fast file transferring, my PC won't recognize my phone and it did not worked, how to solve this issue ?
3. The camera on this phone give a solid performance but i have noticed some blurry shoots how to fix this, especially with the front camera ?
4. I have a strong signal WIFI all over my home, i have made sure that i cover all my home with the WIFI even the garden, but sometimes i got low signal WIFI only using my HTC 10, where is the signal receiver antenna and is there something wrong ?
5. Just a question about the updates, i still got Software Number : 2.41.401.41 with July 1,2017 security patch, is it too old or not ?

Hi guys, first i would thank you for the real reviews of this phone i would consider it a masterpiece, especially after we unlock it is true power from the developer option
I have some question :
1. I have the phone now for nearly 3 months, it is really good phone with a decent battery life, but the last couple days were something weird happening, i have noticed that there is some increasing the power consumption, and the consumption from the Kernal ( Android OS ) and it is activated by Google service, anybody else noticed that in the last week exactly ?
2. I have bought USB 3.1 to Type C cables from Aukey, everything went good but when i connect the fast file transferring, my PC won't recognize my phone and it did not worked, how to solve this issue ?
3. The camera on this phone give a solid performance but i have noticed some blurry shoots how to fix this, especially with the front camera ?

1.You use Gsam battery monitor?If so unistall it and also disable play store for auto checking for updates
2.No idea
3.No blure shoots here.But you can use Photoshop express to remove blur anyway
4.No everything ok.Wifi signal icon bugs out in notification bar and shows 1 bar.Also is weaker from other mobile devices like xiaomi 4a for example.even from sony xperia m.
5.Its the latest at EU
6.No idea.I dont even use it.
Well HTC 10 is a wonderfull device.Not worth to go to U11 or U11+ for me.Worst cameras...

U11 and u11+ worst camera? On which Earth do you live? Wtf...
Sent from my HTC 10 using XDA Labs

1. No idea, but I personally find the 10 has poor battery life. Best I can say is uninstall apps or factory reset
2. Windows 10 doesn't recognise my phone either, enabling USB debugging fixes it
3. Maybe there are fingerprints or smudges on the camera?
4. Known problem, WiFi has always been bad on this phone
5. Latest as far as I know for 401
6. No idea, I don't use HTC Sync Manager

Thank you ^_^
It is really a good phone, and i love using it, still did not root it or unlock it waiting for Oreo so i can do this and have fun with it
I got the blurry shoots when using HDR in highlights area in front cam or rare one
about the HTC U11 my dad owns it and it is more way better than HTC 10, definitely my next phone will be U12 or U12+

Hello,
1. I've got the same issue, tried installing different ROMs, used different battery saving apps like Greenify, Amplify, etc.. Not much difference. I suggest disabling your location, Bluetooth, sync(you can turn it on when you need to sync). It helps a bit.
2.Try to plug it into USB 2.0 ports because sometimes Windows doesn't detect all devices from USB 3 ports, and usually it's better to use the original provided cable that came with the phone.
3.Try updating the camera app or playing around with settings like HDR. Can't be sure if this is a software or hardware issue.
4.Because HTC 10 has a metal body, radio waves have some trouble being received or sent. I have this issue too sometimes when I'm in the same room the signal is 3/4.
5.No that's the latest.
6.Could be that your drivers are not set up properly, or you didn't connect the phone through a USB 2.0 port so that's why it's not being detected.

Thank you bro, well
1. I was suffering with this issue for nearly a week now i do not know what is wrong it is the same usage from 3 months
2. If i did that i will lose the benefits of USB 3.1, and original cable came USB 2.0
3. I think their might be some focus issue, the phone keep focusing especially taking picture for micros
4. Thank you very much i thought so too
5. well f$#k, waiting for 8.0
6. It was working perfectly with old version of the program but after the last update it stopped recognize it , i tried to delete it and reinstall it, and delete the app in my phone too, but it was for nothing

I think the battery drain issue is a Nougat/Google Services Framework(Yeah, Google's spying on us) issue. I've seen many people complain about abnormal battery drain in many threads but not many solutions were found I suggest reading up on different posts around the guide and questions forums. You might find a solution there.
I'm hoping that Oreo is going to change this, but for the time being, we just have to try everything and hope it works.
As for HTC Sync Manager, try searching on Google and you might find a solution. I honestly don't use the sync manager anymore, and I didn't have any issues using it in the past when I got the phone.
Best of luck

The picture above are the results after deleting only the Facebook application, it is really good results for me, when i was have Facebook app i was getting 3 - 4 SOT over 13 working Hours, but now it is really different.
it sounds weird i know, but if you checked your " Boost+" application for the background activities you will find that Facebook uses too much resources, and keep the phone wake even if the screen turned off

Lots of different small issues

Hi all
I have been using this phone for a month, and I have experienced a lot of different small issues, I hope someone may have solution to them.
Phone:
Mi A2 Lite, rooted (Magisk) Android one pie, January update. Has a screen protector.
Apps:
Here are some apps that I think may cause the issue that I mention below, these apps are Nova and datally. Really can't think of a third one, I don't use any cleaning app or battery performance app.
Issue:
1. Typing experience is horrible. Using stock google input, the keyboard is not very sensitive and accurate. The letter just can't be recognized even though I am sure I have pressed the key and pressed the right key. So my typing is really slow, the key doesn't display immediately (it does seem to have a delay), and for some reason I always type wrong and missing some letters, so gotta use backspace a lot.
2. It always wakes up randomly in my pocket, so I may take the phone out with torch on and airplane mode on without my awareness.
3. When I am on a call, I can accidentally press some random on screen keys.
4. The background apps AWALYS get killed, even though I have turned the battery optimization off globally, and the individual apps that I never want to be killed.
5. Messaging service apps have huge delay when delivering the notification. It may only show when I open the app. Used PNF app but couldn't fix the problem.
Does anyone have the same issue and know the fix?
I hope it is only the software problem (Pie system) and maybe I can fix it by flashing a better rom, but I don't seem to find a stable official custom ROM for Mi A2 Lite (even lineage OS is unofficial)
Many thanks

all these problems without wakes up in pocket. killing the background application is the biggest problem for me (I use a lot of smart home app- eWelink,Room Heat,Magic Home) and it's horrible. ewelink starts 5sec after kill, Room Heat - frequent crash like a white screen...
the next problem is huge delay when delivering the notification....
I am on Stock Android One-February update,I'm allowed only cam2api...

You have battery optimization off? any battery improvement app? I think all these is because the 'intelligence' in Android is playing up, it doesn't understand exactly how we use the app. However, even have it turned off, the problem exists....
