I've have just recently noticed some really bad lag and delays when taking photos and moving into the gallery from the camera to preview the photos. Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?
Let me know.
I have noticed this too. I just brushed it off as being touchwiz lag
I also have noticed this.
Yup. It's really annoying too since I don't think there's a way to set a time duration to see the photo you just took. It's either on permanently or not, so you have to exit the gallery to take a photo if you have preview on.

no lag to phone memory
I set all my camera and video to the phone memory and save everything else to the card
by chance is your settings to save to sd card? If it really annoys you, try saving to phone memory and move from camera to that, it is like a .2 second transition for me.

Mine was doing it before I even put in a memory card. Great thought though since phone memory should be faster.

I'm having the problem. I have also found other transitions are also slow, but that one is pretty regular.
I wonder if EVERYONE has this problem. I was going to claim a defect on this and get another one. If everyone sees this problem, then its obviously not a defect.

Yea I do have an SD card so maybe the photos are saving there. And when I press the preview button it is taking a while because it needs to access the SD card. Good thought.
It's the only lag that I've noticed on this phone, so far. Hopefully it'll be a software fix. It is kind of annoying.
This lag is driving me crazy...does anyone NOT have it?
Lag here as well...
It is pretty bad on my phone. Appears less like lag, and more like just freezing up. It eventually starts working again, but it just sits there for a while. Annoying.
Same here. Wonder if the new update fixes it.

Nope. For me anyway...
I experience lag going to the gallery from the camera app as well.
Sometimes it's lag. Other times it freezes the phone.
This happens with and without an SDcard installed.
This, the Recent Apps lag, along with other hiccups is making me not want to purchase another Samsung phone.
same lag here
glad to see it's not just me but also more disappointed that this is an issue I am sure they already knew about, before the update to 5.0, using unlocked att version so an ota will not work for me, it will have to manually installed. hoping to see something soon, since the camera is one of the biggest reasons I chose this device. my estimate is that we will not see anything to fix this, from either samsung or att.
On mine it takes about a second to switch. I don't call it lag. How long does it take on yall's.
It might be because I have a Developer Edition and had to flash the Lollipop update and kernel myself instead of taking the OTA.

Dear Gliders, since a few months I've been struggeling with a (atleast for me) great issue concerning the Captivate Glide video camera.
While recording (or sometimes even right when beginning to capture) I notice some lag in the video and it stays the same for half a second or so.
After that the whole video is very heavily out of sync and not bearable to watch anymore >:
I've read several threads here in XDA aswell as in other forums about this issue on other phones, but have found no fix yet.
It recrods on Internal storage so MicroSD slow speed class should not be cause of the problem.
Also I'm using overclocked, rooted stock firmware. (though this also happened without the overclock)
Greetings, Alex22!
I dont have that problem at all. Have you tried a ROM?
sent from my captivate glide
I have the same problem, however I will say mine usually only does it when recording longer videos. My first Glide did it (stock), now my warranty replacement (replaced for other reason) does it too. I've tried both saving to sd card and internal storage, still getting the same problem. I am now using v2 of the Collective Rom and still the same problem. Anyone else experience this?

Well atleast i'm not the only one experiencing the problem.
It annoys me really badly, but I really can't think of a way to fix this.
Hi guys,
I have a bone stock Note 2.
Since a couple of days ago, the gallery has been acting really weird. It would lag, freeze, ask to close/wait and even crash. When i zoom into the image, it would jerk and jiter even if my hands are of the screen. The upper part of the phone around the area of the sd card reader and front part fo the screen would become really warm to touch.
This is all of a sudden, mind you. Ive never experienced any lag in the gallery. I use it all the time over wiwfi to send images to my dlna connected devices without a hitch.
I thought my sd card was going back. i replaced the 16gb kinstaon card with a 32gb sandisk, and it hasn't made any difference at all. SAme problem.
The problem is alleviated if i switch wifi off. But ive never had to do that before. I have always hd wifi on and connected all the time with no problem until a few days ago.
I have all sync's off including cloud sync. There should be nothing syncing in the background.
Its not the sd card, it cant be the sd port as it works fine with wifi off... so im at a lost as i have no more ideas on what to trouble shoot.
Im thinking it may have been an update that i did not notice maybe? All share cast is not samsung link... dont know if that would do it...
I do hop ei get some insight to what is going in with my note 2.
Anybody else having similar problems or a solution?
Any and all help is much appreciated.
tried new card,.. same thing.
tried hard reset, and still same thing...
what else can it be?
hardware failure?
Figured it out!!!!
Plex media server was causing it. Once i disabled it on my PC, gallery is working like it should again.
I'm not sure what is causing lag, but my Note 4 had enough of it to be concerned.
Sending SMS and messages via hangouts is brutally slow, just as scrolling through Google Now and within the eBay application.
I have a little bit of stutter in touchwiz, but that isn't near as bad as the app stutter. Wondering if this is something to be concerned with.
only reports of lag I have seen are @

I have not seen any myself, this thing powers through anything I have done so far.

Same here, my phone runs butter smooth with animations set at .5 and forcing GPU rendering. Gotta love that Adreno 420
OP might have a bad device. Try replacing it to see if that fixes the problem. Very few people have reported lag and it seems to be no more then any other device.

I want to point out that I had the same issues you mentioned. I went ahead and performed a factory reset since I just got the phone and I hadn't done much to it. It solved my problem and I'm not getting any more app stutter from sending messages through hangouts.
It happens, man. Initial setup of the phone could go wrong, especially when you load on a ton of apps at once. Might not have been your fault; it could've been the devil that loaded all that carrier bloatware on it.
No lag here either, I've been running a media converter on it 24 hours a day for the past few days to change a lot of my formats to mp4s from mkvs and even with that running in the background, with encoding being one of the more CPU processing hungry things you can do, I can play GTA:SA on it without issues.
I was actually lagging pretty bad past 2 days. I enabled ART and let it go for a day thinking it would get better. I restarted it the second day hoping it would help. Finally disabled it an hour ago and its working as expected... Guess there is no real point. I'll just hope we get 5.0 before the years over.

It was good for me before, but wowee. Thank you for the tip.
I feel the power!! So much of a difference that makes
Yeah buttery smooth here. I've disabled all the ATT apps via managing applications and ALWAYS use Rechild Task Killer - by far one of the best app killers I have used over the years since Tmobile G1, Note 1, Note 2, Note 3, and now Note 4. It helps despite what anyone may think.
Also, as other have mentioned, tap your build number 7 times to enable Developer Options Menu in Settings - General. From there, you can disable animation transitions - I always set all mine to 0/No animation because I don't need animations and that speeds things up a lot.
All my texts/MMS are fast along with browsing and internet - HUGE difference compared to the Note 3 (everyone was right- that phone had the worst WIFI imaginable - I was rooted and had the same setup as I do now on the Note 4). I have my MOTO 360 connected with bluetooth always on. I use Textra as my main sms/mms app. I'm really happy - battery life is excellent compared to my Note 3 because Android Wear eats a lot. I also have 1W weather widget on refreshing every hour. I have location on power saving mode so only Data and Wifi pinpoint my location instead of GPS (this is just common sense - GPS kills your battery so don't choose the TOP high performance option).

Wow, what a huge difference. Thanks!
thats odd because I dont get any lag. The only thing I noticed is once in a while, when opening Hangouts, the GUI gets stuck at a blank screen and I have to back out and enter in again. The other issue I noticed, which doesnt happen often, is that the network gets stuck in a certain speed (i.e. 4G or whatever), when I know I should be getting LTE service. If I toggle airplane mode, it switches to LTE and works flawlessly after that. Its almost as if the modem has a hard time switching networks.
Well, it looks like my Hangout lags is back after I got a ton of auto updates today. I probably shouldn't have left auto-update enabled. There's probably an incompatibility with one of the apps so I'm going to hunt it down. Other than that, the rest of the phone is quite smooth.

UPDATE: The problem is clearly the hangouts update itself. I uninstalled the update and disabled automatic updates. It's running smoothly again.
So the problem with hangouts appears to be the most recent update. Uninstall it and you'll run off of the stock version that shipped with the device. until they've fixed the problems.
The problematic build is 2.4.78234730 (Oct 22, 2014).

And no problems with sending messages?
I've cycled installing and uninstalling it a few times to verify that it was indeed the problematic version for me. It could very well be an incompatibility issue still, but I'm not experiencing problems with other apps... aside from Instagram being awfully choppy when cropping photos for upload.

touchwiz always lags. the lg g3 has significant lag to.
I did a factory wipe, disabled all the bloatware i could, forced gpu rendering and changed animations to 0.5x and honestly, it ive been good to go. i did all this to my dads note 4 this morning as well but he said he hadnt experienced any issues yet with everything kept stock

GPU rendering is pointless. I tested the other day. The speed was exactly the same for opening and closing apps, etc. The drawback, if you have flash video enabled and watch any video, shows, movies, etc. - it will be laggy/choppy with this option enabled.
Might need a master reset. I just purchased this phone yesterday. The first phone they gave me reset itself almost 30 times on its own despite me master resetting like 5 times. After the second master reset I didn't load any apps and the issue still persisted. Went back and had them give me a new one. All is well now.

might have spoken too soon. Hangouts works fine after the latest update but i do notice a second or two lag when trying to open the keyboard or open a chat. Its not enough to really complain but it is noticeable.
Noob quesion.. Can someone please direct me to where I go to force GPU rendering on the Note 4? I can't find then setting anywhere. I've been out of the Android game for a while so I greatly appreciate the help. Really like this phone, but the lag on even simple tasks like Facebook scrolling is leaving much to be desired.
(Disregard finally found out how to enable Dev Options.. Man I got a lot of catching up to do.)

Is anyone haveing the problem where you open the camera app and it lags big time? It lags in both camera and video. Then when i do take a video it's choppy and bad quality. Also, if you hit the video button is it stopped to start recording right away or should it flip over to video like other Samsung devices do? Mine starts recording right away.

I only notice the lag on the phone, but also sometime in Chrome when I'm on this site. Is your lag bad enough where you can't even take a good video?
yes, it lags to the point that I think my phone locks-up.
I read somewhere where someone said that if you disable your SD card, the issue goes away. Try it, unmount your SD card.

I don't know it just started working again. But if it happens again I'll try to unmount the SD card. Do you know how to get to the video settings? Does the video automatically record in 4K? That will take up a lot of space.
yes, i think by default it is at 4k video. 16 megs when you click on setting while under camera.

Yes, I've noticed that as well on mine. To a point, where the phone almost stop responding when camera is on. I don't think it's hardware related at all, I could be wrong, I'm thinking more like a bug in the software. One easy way to get out the lag for me is to press the power button to turn of screen then turn back on, while on lock screen, swipe up the camera widget. That got rid of the overall lag and lockup for me. I know it will come back soon or later, just don't know what trigger it.
Do you guys get lag from the front camera? When you move, it's not in perfect sync. It also seems to give you a Jay Leno chin.
I've seen threads about performance issues when charging etc and I have them myself!
One thing that completely destroys me is the performance when trying to take a quick picture or use an app that uses the camera.
E.g. barcode scanners move the complete opposite direction
Snapchat is also practically unusable. When I open it, it completely s**ts itself every time and is unusual!
I guess my question is..... Do you think custom ROMs and recoveries will solve the issues?
Thanks

I definitely think we should see some optimizations in the next weeks. Snapchat would crap out on me and eventually cause the camera module to crash. It got to the point that the camera would turn black within Snapchat and even within the camera app itself. Only fix was to reboot the phone to get the camera working again. Yesterday I received a snapchat update, not sure if it was meant to address performance issues, but it now works more smoothly and doesn't crash as often. There is definitely room for improvement!
It's really doing my head in and glad I'm not on my own in seeing this!! I don't know anyone else with the 5x to compare so been searching online.
I timed it today, I rebooted the phone and left it 5 minutes without opening anything. I fired up the camera app and it took 124 seconds (just over 2min) until the app was ready to take a photo (the blue circle showing around the shutter button). Then tapping the button to take a photo took a further minute to take the actual photo. Then the phone was that sluggish it needed a reboot.
Not sure if it's the hardware, the os or the app but I've tried Open Camera too and that seems to be really really slow. And, as the OP says, Snapchat totally craps out as do other apps that use the camera.

I just tried the same test. The camera app opened and was ready to shoot (blue circle showing) in about 2 seconds. Double pressing the power button to open the camera app had the blue circle around the shutter button showing right away
Every now and then it does work perfectly. But more times than not there is a massive lag. Usually after the phone has been on for half a day, but like this morning sometimes when it's just turned on.
I've experienced the same issues mentioned by you guys, especially in the OP.
Snapchat has practically been completely unusable until the most recent update, and that only marginally improved things. The root cause seems to be the camera itself, as I'm only seeing this type of lag in apps that access the camera. I can't help but imagine Google is working on a fix for this in the very near future, just one of those 'early adopter' issues I guess. It has caused me to do daily reboots just about, which is very aggravating because that defeats the purpose of a good camera if you miss the moment you're trying to capture. As I'm sure you guys have noticed, when the camera app actually works properly, the pictures are pretty impressive, which makes it all the more aggravating that it can't be used as fluently as designed.
Hoping for all of our sake that Google fixes this soon.
I'm in the same boat.
