[Q] Annoying lollipop lag - Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Share your experience with Android 5.0.2 Lollipop on Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 LTE. Am I the only one who experiences annoying lags when switching between tabs in settings, closing browser and pulling down notification bar?

I was getting some lag,very slight, after Lollipop update OTA. So I did a factory reset and it's very smooth now. Very happy with this update overall. But some slight problems still show up. Like snow on screen after waking up and some apps that have problems (might need updates).

Very laggy

I get no lag on my SM T800 and it is much smoother than with KitKat. Again, that is after doing a factory reset (and flashing the firmware through Odin rather than OTA), but I always factory reset after a major update. If it matters, I'm also rooted. Very happy with this upgrade and looking forward to my favorite ROM upgrading.

I have maybe two hours of real usage time with the Lollipop on the Tab S, so I have only superficial observations..
First of all, the fingerprint scanner works a lot better. This alone makes installing the Lollipop update worth it. Next, I am not a big fan of the all white theme in the settings, keyboard, etc. The old one worked fine IMO. Finally, yesterday I did quite a bit of switching between applications, from my web browser to download manager, and a wifi analyzer (did it like 10 times), and I didn't feel much lag. However, I am disappointed with the new view of the apps/tasks where they are now stacked behind each other instead of side by side. Overall, it's gone pretty smooth. I'll see how it goes. I can't imagine going back to KitKat. If there are major issues, I could upgrade to CM12 by then.

This may help.
Had a similar problem with lags even after hard reset, so did a clear cache and factory data erase in recovery mode (volume up+home+power button) and it flies now..
I backed up the demo video first as it wipes all internal content.

[Q] Laggy Nexus after 4.0.2 OTA!!! (Not 4G version)

My Galaxy Nexus (Norwegian - Not 4G version) became laggy after I got the 4.0.2 version. This is NOTICEABLE when pressing the application switcher on-screen button, when selecting an app inside this manager, when scrolling the widget screen - and a little bit elswere inside different menus.
All in all I REALLY regret I installed the 4.0.2 OTA!
I had approx 1Gb apps installed which I removed, with to luck.
I also tried to factory reset the phone. When restoring,
I also tried NOT using the google backup as I thought the 4.0.2 update
could be included in this backup.
Problem is: Version 4.0.2 remain even if I factory reset phone.
It feels like the phone is contaminated, like I installed a virus!
If this is not fixed I will buy another phone. It was quite smooth with the 4.0.1 but now it feels really laggy.
Phone is of course "stock" and not changed in any way. I read that this problem is common, and I wonder if there is any way to roll back to v. 4.0.1??
Is there a fix in 4.0.3??
I will appreciate any help!

stability update

Has anyome else recieved a stability update on the 8.4?
yes for the US SM-T320 8.4 but I'm getting random reboots. it was fine on the earlier version, never had any random reboots. I tried to factory reset after the update but still the same. it seems to do a soft random reboot when you are doing something on the tablet and you leave it idle for a few seconds. It never rebooted while I'm actively using it even if the load is high..

Mine says device modified, I am rooted - any workaround?
I'm currently uploading the new ND3 DeOdex ROM base now. (Tab Pro 8.4 Wi-Fi)
I will also upload the bootloader firmware (Odin flashable) too.
I managed to capture a logcat but I can't seem to identify the cause of reboots, can anyone assist with that pls...

TabPro 8.4 random restarts
Hello guys
So, it appears i am not alone then.
The school i work in as an IT tech, has purchased us 2 TabPro 8.4 tablets and the one i have has given me hell so far with these random reboots.
It has the latest update and is also rooted. It has nothing to do with the root i believe as it did it before and also after applying the latest OTA update. I have now factory reset it and noticed a slight difference in the home screen where i now have 2 pages (1 home screen of course) wheres, as far as i remember, when i first turned it on it only had 1. I may be wrong though.
I didn't sign in to any accounts yet (google, samsung dropbox etc.) and left it with Google chrome and Samsung own browser open. I suppose only time will tell now. It's really bloody frustrating though because i spent hours loading all my apps again and restoring app data via Helium etc.
Another thing i noticed is that even i after wiping the tablet via recovery (Wipe device/factory reset option) it actually kept root.
New device, issues gone
Got my replacement unit from John Lewis today (i must say their service is the best i have seen) and spent hours on the device rooting it and installing all the apps i had on my other unit.
I have not encountered one single reboot so far , whereas my previous unit restarted on me pretty much 30 minutes after i first turned it on.
My advice to you is if you are having stability issues and random restarts with your TabPro 8.4, send it back for a replacement.
I installed the update also and haven't had any issues or random reboots either. The screen sensitivity fixes are great. Huge difference.
I spoke too soon it seems. It did restart on me. Twice. Once whilst caching images on quickpic app and second time installing Samsung's own office suite of applications.

What is this? Stability or Instability update? Sammy, why?
anyone who doesn't suffer from Random reboots, are you rooted?
also those who suffer from reboots, are you all rooted?
My the Theory: I think this reboots are related to being rooted or have knox void.
Mine restarted before root but after I installed the OTA update. I since rooted it but it didn't change a thing obviously. God knows how many times it reboots a day. I leave it in airplane mode with a few apps running and after a couple of hours I notice that the apps that ran on the background are not there anymore so I figured out it restarted. is there anyway to uninstall the OTA update???

Stability update
Since reverting back to old version (and rooting the device again) i have suffered 0 random reboots. Looks like the latest update screws something up.

I have two 8.4's and they both boot when I wake them up. They are rooted with Xposed, but I uninstalled Xposed and tried one without it and it still boots at random. So IMO Xposed/root isn't causing the trouble.
See my other post... wonder if that'll fix this. I'd almost rather have the reboots over the screen sensitivity problem, but either way, the tabs aren't really usable.
Rich
I have used my tab pro 8.4 now for 5 days running on the old firmware rooted and with xposed running, without a single glitch. I'd strongly advise people to avoid updating the tablets to the latest ND3 firmware.
Sent from my SM-T320 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I purchased a tab pro 8.4 a few weeks ago and was noticing random reboots several times an hour. A couple of days later I got the update and didn't see any change in reboot behavior. Couldn't link it to anything at all as it happened before as well as after rooting and adding Xposed.
Changed to Average Joe's debloated (elsewhere in the forums) and have had zero random reboots since. Also running several exposed modules without any problems. Purely anecdotal, but it appears to have increased the overall responsiveness of the device while keeping most of the good things Samsung put on top of stock Android.
New update
Samsung released a new update to the TabPro 8.4 which is supposed to improve stability and add "Kids mode" (firmware version ending with NE3). I gave it a go and the random reboots got back! wiped my device clean and installed NAI firmware and all is well again!

Android 7.0 scrolling lag/choppiness and Android system and OS battery drain

A few hours after flashing the factory image, my 5x has been scrolling really choppily, it's not as noticeable when I fling the scrolling ( take my finger off the screen after flinging the scrolling direction) but it's extremely noticeable when I'm scrolling while keeping my finger on the screen. I'm not quite sure if this choppiness only affects scrolling, it could possibly be a frame cap, but I haven't really noticed any lag or choppiness when opening apps. I think this could also be due to the system optimizating the apps in the background since android system and Android OS have pretty high battery usage percentages, and I've been having worse battery life than I had when my 5x was on marshmallow. The phone gets woken up a lot when it's idle. I've reflashed the factory image again and once again for the first few hours the phone is fine and then after that the scrolling choppiness returns and the Android system and Android OS battery drain too. I'll probably roll back to marshmallow if these problems don't get better in a few days after the system is done optimizating the apps in the background. I just wanted to know if anyone else has been having these issues and if anyone has a way to make the scrolling smooth again (once again the scrolling is smooth for a few seconds after rebooting and then the choppiness comes back once again) thanks in advance.
I'm getting same issues Im most likely going back to MM until next Nougat revision is issued

Yea, I also went back to marshmallow because I couldn't stand the scrolling choppiness and the battery life issues. I really did want to wait a few days to see if it made a difference but it felt like the choppiness wasn't just affecting the scrolling it felt like the phone was being frame capped. And the battery life just seemed to get worse and worse so the problems didn't seem to flatten themselves out. However I did read some posts on reddit that suggested the problems being caused webview being integrated into only chrome instead of being a standalone app; the post suggested uninstalling chrome and updating webview. For me it didn't really help with the battery issues and scrolling issues but others can try and see it helps with their phones.
Why are you reflashing the stock image? Try factory resetting or format data/cache in recovery, then just take the OTA.

I reflashed the stock image via the flash-all.bat file so it wipe the entire phone including the data and cache partitions. But even after that the scrolling choppiness and battery issues come back after a few hours.

I'm wondering if the stock image or the flashing process is the issue. I would try reverting back to MM and take the Nougat OTA update, and then format data/cache.
I dont get this issues.
But ive installed tupiac4u Custom Rom.
new on N5x, bought the day 7.1.1 came out.
I never tried 6.0 but 7.1.1 (only thing I tried, why downgrade?) is far from being smooth
I'm trying kernels, roms, aosp, cm, stock based, anyhting I do doesn't help. it's not smooth
I have 3 friends with unrooted phone, who just updated to 7.1.1 through OTA and is smooth as should be....curious....
well, I tried 6.0 and is not any good
updated to 7.1.1...not solved
done again factory reset with flash-all.bat to 7.1.1 and is still not perfect...
I tried a friend's unit, is damn smooth, really, 60fps always, scrolling is so good...
I really don't know how to solve this. custom kernels are faster but not smoother....
wish I could get it replaced

Definitely get it replaced, sounds like bunk hardware. Maybe a faulty CPU/GPU.

I can't...what should I say? the device works, everything run fine. no hardware fault...just a unfortunate unit, but is not enough to get it replaced
I just was having all these issues and Google is replacing my phone after going through all the troubleshooting with them.
If you guys go to the sound menu in the actual settings menu, does your volume jump around at all? I discovered this on the phone and I'm wondering if this is some weird issue separate form these problems or part of a bigger problem with this image.

OneUI 2.1 - Lag / Graphics bug?

Hi all!
After OneUI 2.1 update, I get graphical lags. Not very frequently but regularly (~ 5 to 10 times a day maybe). In games, apps or system doesn't matter. It hangs a moment, then its fine. Its kind of a smooth lag somehow, don't know how to describe. As if the system is fine and fast, just the graphics hang a fraction of a second. Anyone else with this issue? I read something about graphics driver updated in last version, is it true? Could these be the issue? But then I would't be alone I assume.
I want to avoid factory reset if possible. Thanks for your thoughts and stay healthy!

Hmmm does it do it in high performance and what games or apps are you trying to run
Sent from my SM-N970F using Tapatalk
I was playing Empires and Puzzles mostly. But also happened in system settings during scrolling. Somehow, since I did a second wipe of cache partition yesterday it seems fixed. Hopefully.
Clear cache partition?
Yes did that. First time didnt help but second time seems to work so far.

Which model? N950u ?
N975F
Looks like it's happening on Snapdragon variants as well.
Just updated two days ago.
Mobile PUBG is lagging.
I have same problems. when i scrolling screen it's lagging. Before the update i have not any problems.
Model: G973F
I did have the same issue after the update but my phone had completely settled now and back to normal. Verizon 10+ flashed with u1 firmware
i see a lag on fingerprint animation only
And I thought I was the only 1...
N975f flash thru Odin one UI 2.1 yesterday...noticed animations not that smooth...kinda lagging and fp animation slow too...wipe cache many times Liao...continue observing see how
I have the same problem with exynos in France since 2.1
Even after factory reset
The animation of opening applications to change and sometimes it crashes. It's less smooth.
Fingerprint animation is the only thing bothering me, seems choppy or just low fps in general

It came with an update, let's hope it goes away via update as well. At least I wait until next patch before resetting my phone.

One ui 2.5 update is garbage

Just got the new update today morning, it's been a lag fest since then, one to two second pauses when opening apps, pauses when pressing any of the nav buttons, horrible battery drain. It's 2pm now and Im down to 15% already.
First screen shot is from today, second is from yesterday's usage.
Already cleared cache, made no difference.
Which app it is? Your screenshot?
Exactly what I wanted to know as well.

Regarding the topic, for me, personally, this update has been quite good. Everything runs well and I like the small visual clues and changes.

Lucky you, this is the first time an update screwed up my phone. I'll probably have to wipe the phone.
Hey , my phone has been the same, lag and stutters while scrolling and opening apps and stuff. I've cleared cache multiple times , didn't worked. You need to factory reset, it works so smooth now.
Update running great for me, I did optimize apps right after via galaxy labs however.
No lag, battery the same as it was before.
Same here....I will pass update.
My S20+ after update: battery drain, laggy scroll, laggy opening apps....
I tried all day trying to fix it but nothing....I booted in safe mode and not lucky so it is not and installed app.
I tried wipe cache...I tried disable multiple services, wipe cache and data from touch wiz, etc....nothing works.
Phone is totally useless after updated with lag and battery drain...and runs very hot
That updated is a Russian Roulette....beware!!
I will try to flash a clean rom using odin and restore apps.

my opinion , after every big update , device need factory reset and install everything from 0.
that what i did with my s20 ultra after one ui 2.5 update
Sent from my SM-G988B using Tapatalk
S20 SD. No problem with the update.
Had the same issue as you. If you're using package disabler, enable all pkgs, clear the cache, restart, and then redisable. Worked for me
I had the same problem but in my case I got it fixed after enabling IMS with Package Disabler because I had these disabled without issues before the update.
After enabling this my S20 Ultra runs good again, so if you have package disabler installed start looking into that.
So definitely no need to reset like others say lol, it is no new Android so why would you just a conflicting going on
Btw I install updates always with first enabling everything and update all disabled ans then installing updates.
After update, running galaxy labs, cache cleaning and then disabling my list with Package Disabler again.
So don't no why IMS packages gave me issues this time....

!!!EXACTLY!!! The same thing is happening to me. Slow fingerprint unlock (its getting stuck sometimes), Slow in opening the apps, navigating back. I clreared the cache but no use. Its dam frustrating, I feel like Im using heavy software on Galaxy S5 phone
The update has been fine for me, T-mobile s20+ SC. Only thing annoying me is that they took away wallpaper scrolling from 3rd party launchers.
Has anyone had issues with automatic wallpaper apps? I use resplash to auto set a wallpaper every 3 hours. It seems everytime overnight it will switch itself to a default Sam wallpaper for no reason.
I received this update few days ago. but I have no issues, I thing even the time of battery is definitely better. software is responding good and fast.
Just two old bugs are still chasing myphone. The edge lightning ( does not work. ex: Messenger APP) and delay on gMails notifications.
My wireless charger stopped working after the update, no other issues.
Everytime my screen turns off my WiFi gets disconnected and then I turn it on and it connects again. Any ideas?
S20+ on VZW. No issues.
Only thing not working is I can no longer expand notifications from Nest, though not sure if that's a Nest problem or on the phone's end.
I feel it's noticely faster on my S20 Ultra (G988B) and battery may be the same or slightly better. Ovrerall, great update especially the DeX and Pro Video recording update.
