Anyone getting alot of lag when sending hangouts messages?
On both the LG G3 and this phone.
I have not received any lag at all with hangouts or the default messaging app on the note 4. I am however having issues adding widgets on the homescreens and keeping apps in my folders in the app drawer after reboots. beautiful widgets and hd widgets and widgetsoid widgets all act as if they were added to the homescreen but then when you get to the homescreen, they aren't there. I know the apps coming out of the folders in the app drawer were a problems on most other samsung phones after the first boot, but mine is happening after every single boot.
As for sending messages, i havent had any lag at all. If anything, my signal has greatly improved

weird.. wonder if it's something with the resolution.. It's not some kind of intensive activity though. It's just really janky when hitting send.. hmmm
If that was the case, then why wouldn't i have the lag issues then? Is there any other apps that are consuming your ram while on your phone? At least enough to bog it down while sending messages?
I also encountered this issue. If you downgrade to stock hangouts, there is no lag. The lag is pretty harsh ONLY when you are SENDING the message.
yup! just put my 1 star review on Google Play. hangouts is the worst. it's terrible on all samsung devices. it's practically unusable. it lags down swiftkey like crazy. the only devices hangouts works well with are nexus devices and aosp roms. it's terrible on LG, samsung and htc ui. ugh so annoying.

I completely disagree. No offense. I have used hangouts on my old htc, and all my samsung devices and have never had a problem at all. Ive used it on the s3, the rezound, s4, note 3 note 2 and now my note 4 with no issues.
Ill keep trying on my note 4 to see if i can duplicate the issues but so far it has been flawless
Do you have animations on?

Yea.. same exact experience Im having.
I even deleted my whole text database and hangouts message history to make sure that wasnt causing a problem. Tried clearing cache, data, re-installing, etc.
have sort of the same issue on my Galaxy Note 8 and my gfs Galaxy S4.. so many it doesnt like Samung for some reason. Dont have the problem on my old DROID RAZR M.
Oh well.. maybe it's something they will look into if enough people have the problem.
I get a small amount of lag right after I hit send, the paper airplane gets stuck half way thru it's animation then after a second or so it finishes it's animation and the message sends. Had this problem since the last update. Also affected my LG G3.
To whoever asked if i had animations on, i do.
I should also note that I am not running the tw launcher but nova instead until they can get the widget issue fixed. Not sure if that would have anything to do with it or not.
Some of you guys having issues be interested in trying a launcher form the play store and see if the issue still remains? Just fyi, themer is not compatible with the note 4 yet but all the others seem to work.
don't know how some people have it and some don't. i always suspected, though, that swiftkey might be a part of the culprit. swiftkey is the only keyboard i can use and type fast on, so i can't use anything else...but in hangouts it was always much slower than the stock keyboard. on my GS4 it was awful and lagged horribly. i miss google talk lol that app was perfect. never any lag. was always so quick on those low end phones..ugh!

has nothing to do with launcher. i use nova.
Ok, with this new info, I am NOT using swift key. Beginning to wonder if that may be why I'm not dealing with the lag issue. It's weird that a keyboard would be lagging a messaging app though.

I'm using stock note 4, just have my regular apps. Using stock Samsung keyboard, stock launcher. Still have Hangouts lag. It's not terrible, but definitely noticeable.
I have lag when sending messages, on that animation. Also had the same lag on my GS5. Not sure why.

SwiftKey can make anything lag... lmao. it's akin to people's hate for touchwiz. it's an amazing keyboard but it just lags down when a stock keyboard wouldn't.

I'm fairly confident the lag is from the last update. I didn't have this issue before they updated hangouts for calling features etc

I've tried desperately to duplicate this issue in hopes to help resolve any problems. I have Uninstaller hangouts and downloaded from the play store just to make sure I'm running the latest version. I hate to say this, but I still have no lag whatsoever. If you're stock and lagging in hangouts, maybe uninstall and reinstall?

Same here, recently after thr upgrades, Google Hangouts has become worse. It does lag whike switching from text to emoji. Or as mentioned here by fellow XDA Member, that it lags while sending the message.
I could even feel the lag while typing. None other app has this issue. It has got nothing to do with what's in the background and what not. I stopped using Hangouts. Only use it to make Video calls.
Also, use any launcher. It doesn't affect it. Nova, TW, whatever. And the same goes to the keyboard too. I tried using Swiftkey, Swype, Google Keyboard, Phone's stock keyboard.
Reading some replies here, and I'm just giving my view. This lag isn't from the last update. You can say last few updates. Because before those updates, Hangouts used to work fine.
Hope there is a fix to this. I don't like downgrading applications. I better stop using them.

For all you whatsapp users, do you notice any lag when using the app itself? Whether it be switching between conversations or just loading the app in general? The biggest issue I see is typing to people, it lags really bad and is quite annoying. I've tried several roms / using a clean whatsapp installation but they all did the same thing.
Nope. No lag on 4.0.4. If you want lag (when opening, that is) try the WP7 client.
Be thankful.
Hmm what rom are you running? Did you change any specific settings?
i have a stock galaxy nexus (international GSM) and its also very laggy. especially when typing on the keyboard the keys can't keep up, its pretty annoying and would love to know if there is a fix for this.
imo also lags when typing.
running 4.0.4

i don't know if this is related but i had a similar problem on my Nexus One. What happened was Whatsapp's data was getting too big. I had to clear the data and lose all my current chats, but this fixed the unresponsiveness.
No problems so far with my Galaxy Nexus.
When you clear all your chats do you get removed from your group messages as well?

i have the same typing issue/laggs with my Stock 4.1.2 nexus here. Do you found any solutions ?
The laggs starting when i send more then 4 or 5 messages one after another, very annoying -.-
(newes Whatsapp version is installed)
Not for me, at all.
Have you tried turning on forced GPU rendering in developer options? I know it at leat helps making the scrolling smoother in WhatsApp.
Hey,
I'm having some keyboard lag input on my Galaxy Nexus running Jellybean... I noticed it in applications like facebook messenger (sometimes) and whatsapp.
I find this very annoying and would like to know if anyone got the same issues or even ideas to fix it?
I had this problem on ICS, too.
You could be running a bunch of background **** that lags other apps. I have a pretty clean Nexus with next to nothing running in the background and I have no keyboard lag.

Yes, i have the same lag issues, so much for proyect butter, now the keyboard lags even more than on ics , i use whatsapp a lot and the lag is quite noticeable
The first thing I noticed about my GNex (coming from a Droid X) was how lag-free the Keyboard seemed.
I was super impressed.
The first thing I noticed on JellyBean was that my keyboard seemed a bit laggy despite all of the smoothness in every other UI element.
Maybe once source hits it'll have been improved.
Keep in mind...we're using a "preview" build currently.

As I said I am running Android 4.1 Jellybean, on ICS I just got these lags from time to time...
It's very annoying typing with such a keyboard, sometimes it doesn't respond to keypresses what means that it skips letters n' ****..
I haven't noticed a lag...
No lag as such on mine, but for some reason I find myself mistyping more frequent and hitting shift and delete rather then 'a' and 'l'. Probably just me though...

This is a little off topic, both does facebook messenger work as expected in jellybean? For me there are no messenger notifications since I installed jellybean. I have to manually check if there are new messages.
As per the keyboard lag, try a different keyboard. I use Swiftkey 3 and I'm very happy with it.
Try going to settings/ language and input settings/ Android keyboard settings/ advanced settings and uncheck next word prediction. I remember I lagged A LOT and it seemed I was hitting random keys. Idk if this is related but I restored all my apps and data and the lag was horrible even throughout the entire system so I did a full wipe and only restored apps with NO data. Haven't had a single issue since.

Using German keyboard, sorry. But why don't you try to save "don't" to your dictionary?
Yep, getting TONS of Whatsapp lag. While scrolling, even the keyboard.
Getting a lot of lag but as soon as i turned off vibration when keys are pressed in the input settings it stopped majority of it but now its sometimes mistyping
Same here, but mostly limited to Whatsapp + Swiftkey 3 combination and only in landscape mode.
Swiftkey 3 works perfectly with no lag at all in all applications included whatsapp when used in portrait mode.
The same with the standard android keyboard.
In landscape mode, I can write SMS and other stuff (Facebook messenger etc) with Swiftkey 3 with no lag (at least at my writing speed I am experiencing no delay).
When writing with WHATSAPP and Swiftkey it is a disaster... after a sentence i have to wait half a second for the last word to show up after having typed it!
Things seem a bit better with whatsapp + android keyboard in landscape but still a bit laggy.
It seems tome it is mostly a whatsapp problem after all.

Hi guys.
Anyone got serious and annoying lag on the latest SwiftKey? It's so unfortunate, on my GNex it still runs as smooth as butter and no lag but on 2 different note 2 handsets it just runs like a dog. Laggy touches and it'll slow and catch up. Soooo frustrating...
Any help would be appreciated on this one. It almost takes the enjoyment out of having this lovely fast phone and a beautiful screen to thumb type with...
Cheers.

I too have it but barely noticable!
I guess its because its learnt too many custom words from my sms's.
Long time Swype beta user, I converted to the newest version of the SwiftKey out of pure curiosity, and after trying for some days found that this is a keeper, and it is so fast when I open it and no problems whatsoever with this keyboard, I use also the default keyboard for hand writing with the spen board switcher, just amazing experience, so far. Btw I am using 240 dpi.
About your problem, try cleaning cache plus dalvik cache and reinstalling one or 2 times plus reboot. Hope this will help.

In Hebrew if I flow more than 2 words it stops understanding what I flow, so I don't have THAT problem. On English its pretty annoying..
This happens sometimes. Sometimes the keyboard doesn't even disappear or anything like that because it's stuck. Only thing you can do, I imagine, is clear cache, and start again. Pain in the butt! But hey... it's all you can do ATM.
Happens with me too. When too many processes are running in the background, it sort of lags sometimes. Also it has crashed on me twice till now. Not much but just putting it here. You can try clearing the cache and see if that helps in any way!
unlink it from your SMS , facebook and twitter.
I use Swiftkey and no lags at all.
Thanks for all your replies guys.
Yeah have emailed them and got the usual. We work on improving it all the time blah blah. She said to use a task killer... Strange as we all know this isn't the best way to handle memory any more. That'll just ruin things more. Anyway...
Yeah I don't have it linked to any of my accounts, I don't have twitter ect anyway so I don't know what's causing the lag. I wish it was as smooth as my GNex... I don't understand, this phone is twice the specs and it lags on a keyboard, weird...
Sent from LV-426...
Strange, I never had the problem and I use Swiftkey for 3 months (with stock and dualnote roms (actually))
I think you should try to install again your rom, maybe you have some files corrupted and it makes it laggy.
If you are root, you can also try to use Greenify to decrease your ram usage or/and remove some app activities to disable autostart of them. (autostart or system tools app can do that)
Oh ok thanks man.
Yeah I haven't rooted yet. Going to but haven't got around to it haha. So fully stock and I'm having these issues. It's not unusable is just slower than it should be. And my GNex runs it perfect. It's strange.

Strange indeed, SwiftKey is an app I've never had issues or freezes with, and I restore it with data with TB on new roms like once a month.

Wow all I can say is that Swiftkey has been giving me lags ALL The time. I'm on MC3 and I"m not sure if it's the update or the program, but I have even reset to factory, started anew, backed up, cleared cache and then restored, I've tried EVERYTHING. Still laggy as hell and then buttery smooth at other times. Strange.
I noticed at times that it took a while or the keyboard won't show up at all. I was using latest Samsung Rom based on xxdmc3 with both Swype and swiftkey. I'm now on ARHD and its doing fine so far. Somehow I think the issue it with the libraries that calls for the keyboard to pop up when needed, and not necessarily from the keyboard app.

is there an option to use one keyboard for S-pen and another for key-press... like stock for s pen and swiftkey for hand writing??
I've a problem with Swiftkey on Quicksheet (from QuickOffice Pro) either on stock Polaris View :
When I have modified a cell, I can't modify a new one. These softwares freeze. And with the stock Samsung one all is ok.
Have you been facing this ?

Is there any reason to use Swiftkey over Swype Beta? Because Swype works for me flawlessly and I have Swiftkey on my GNex and it seems to me that Swype is quite superior to Swiftkey?
Thanks again guys for your feedback.
Yeah I get all that bad stuff. As I've said I've emailed SwiftKey and they haven't helped me at all. Really disappointed.
I get laggy input and keyboard bring up is sometimes slow too. Geez, this device is quad core and should fly compared to my GNex... My GNex runs it like butter. Never misses a beat. Really confusing.

This happened to me on my old note 2 on many various rom's, now it's happening again on my new note 2 running novella...
After sending a certain amount of text messages or mms's, it'll stop displaying new text messages and if I go into the text message list, nothing is there at all... Until I reboot, then all my new and old messages show up again.
Any idea's? Being a heavy texter this gets really annoying, it's happened to me 5 or 6 times today at least.
It happens in Go SMS Pro, Samsung default SMS and any other SMS app.
Found these two threads
Text Messages Disappear @ Android Central
Note 2 Text Messaging But @ Phandroid
Are there any reports of this happening on the S4? I saw it was happening on the S2 and S3.
So if it's happening on the S4, then the Note 3 is out of the question for me and I'll buy another phablet to avoid this issue altogether.
Sounds random among Samsung devices. Hasn't happened to me yet either stock or non-stock.

From what it sounds like and all I gathered from the 2 threads specifically about other Note 2 users having the same problem is TouchWiz is the culprit.
Dialing my own number letting it pick up and go to voicemail and then the dialer/phone fc'ing and hanging up afterwards fixes the problem until it randomly decides to happen again.
I'm thinking of trying a non-touchwiz rom and seeing what happens.

Not sure what it is that's exactly causing the problem, I've even tried disabling samsung's sms app and it still happened sometimes, I never changed anything in the app settings, but it is odd that when I don't use a touchwiz rom I don't encounter the problem at all.
I'm really hoping they fixed it in the s4 and 4.2.2 and it'll be fixed forr the Note, S2 and S3 with that new release of jelly bean.
Trying out MyMiUi 3.5.10, to see what happens, kept getting a lot of FC's in MyRom Revo 7.1, but I do wanna keep some touchwiz stuff and it'll also be an interesting test to see if even though there's very lil tw integration if the problem still presists with that lil bit of tw incorporated in the system.

Well uninstalling Stock TouchWiz SMS App is a solution pretty much I've found it hard to trigger the bug again it really only rarely ever happens anymore, before it would happen multiple times a day being forced to reboot and or dial your own number... So if ya don't wanna go with a CM Rom, this is the best way I know to avoid it from happening so often.

I've had my note 4 for a couple weeks now, and I have to say that the phone is not as powerful as I expected. Whenever I run a resource heavy app, the phone experiences severe lag after exiting the app. For instance, the Caustic app, which is a music mixing app, runs descent on my note 4 but after exiting the app the launcher becomes very stuttery and laggy. I loaded the phone up with Nova launcher prime, and it does work better, yet still lags. I have clean master installed, and I've gotton notifications from it a couple times telling me the RAM is above 80% and the CPU is hot.. I've always been under the impression that clearing processes from RAM on Android is a no no, but as a last ditch effort, I went ahead and did it anyway. Over all, I'm not happy with the phone performance. My 2013 nexus 7 performes better, and this is supposed to be a beefier device as far as hardware is concerned.. Should I take the phone back to AT&T?

So I tried caustic not sure how long but it does lag the launcher after exiting. (nova launcher)
Also after reboot every thing is running smoothly again and started caustic again and it does not lag after exiting ~5mins of running (maybe I didn't leave it running as long or what not I'm not sure but that's all I can observe so far)
Hope that helps you a bit.
This is exactly why we need the ability to flash custom roms on Samsung devices. The out-of-the-box experience sucks. The phone performs night and day on a custom rom.

Thank you for the feedback, I really appreciate it. My girlfriend has an AT&T Note 4 as well. I loaded hers up with the caustic app, and had the same laggy results. Yea, sometimes after exiting the app, the lag is so bad I have to reboot, other times a simple screen lock and unlock takes care of it, and other times there is no lag at all. When I was using the touch wiz launcher it caused lag everytime.. Nova launcher is working much better, but still not satisfactory..IMO, if I have what is considered to be one of, if not the most powerful smartphone currently, I shouldn't be dealing with this at all.. I think after this phone I'll stick with nexus devices.. Even though I said the same thing after my Galaxy S4, and somehow got sucked into the hype on this phone..

Nova launcher is working much better, but still not satisfactory..IMO, if I have what is considered to be one of, if not the most powerful smartphone currently, I shouldn't be dealing with this at all.. I think after this phone I'll stick with nexus devices.. Even though I said the same thing after my Galaxy S4, and somehow got sucked into the hype on this phone..

I think it's probably just Samsung bloatware interfering with phone function.
Personally I don't think it is a deal breaker just keep an eye out for those apps it may not be 100% compatible with our phones.
You may want to report the issue to the developer of Caustic. It could just be a software glitch isolated to this phone.
I personally haven't had the chance to see this phone lag at all and I definitely use it very heavily.

Do you use a cleaner app? I use clean master, and about once or twice a day I get a notification from clean master telling me the phone is preforming poorly, and ram is over %80. This usually occurs when I have a few apps open, and I usually do experience minor lag leading up to this. I allow clean master to wipe the ram, then reboot the phone and all is well for a while. This is very discouraging..

While a bit counterintuitive to what we have been seeing on windows etc.
This phone is designed to use all of its ram.
It should not lag while doing it and apps that causes it to lag is probably dev error so make note of those apps and keep an eye out for it.
Ram is not being used unnecessarily android purposely stores cached in ram to allow it to load faster.
It is not the app's fault. I made a thread about this same exact behavior a couple weeks ago but not a single person responded. Jittery, laggy performance after exiting a game or other graphics intensive app. Only thing that would get rid of it was a reboot.
I got a PM from Samsung Support about it though which surprised me. I think they may be aware of some type of issue.
It happened for me after two different apps closing so it's not your app. And it doesn't happen after every closing either. The jittery behavior is not limited to the launcher either. Next time it happens open another app and scroll, like the browser. It was terribly choppy.
The good news is Samsung reached out to me which is always a positive sign for fixes.

Yea, definitely not the apps fault. I've confirmed this by installing the same app on my Nexus 7 and Galaxy S4; the app runs fine on those two devices without any lag as a result. It may be compatability issues with the newer qualcom chip, or possibly all of the bloatware on the phone weighing things down. These ideas are all speculation on my part. It's good to hear that Samsung is aware of the issue. Please keep us posted on anything new in regards to the issue. Just an FYI, I've replaced Nova Launcher with the Google now launcher, and for the last 3 days the phone has been running remarkably smoother. Hopefully lollipop will fix these issues.. Root would definitely be nice.

If I get any updates I'll make sure to inform you all. I'm using Nova and it seems pretty fast. Were you having issues with it that made you switch to Google? Or is Google Launcher just that much better?

I was having some minor issues with Nova Launcher. I was getting random crashes, where Nova itself was actually crashing, which was a first for me. I was also getting some lag while scrolling, opening and closing apps. When I use Nova Launcher, I tweak allot of the settings, so that may have had something to do with it, but I've used Nova Launcher for the last year and a half on my Galaxy S4 w/o any problems.. Google now launcher doesn't have any options for customization of any kind, but it has been very smooth and effective.
