Yeah it seams to be way better then before. Also have you tried the new experiment Google has? Here is a link for it.
http://chrome.com/supersyncsports/
You interact with chrome on your desktop with chrome for your phone to play a fun little mini game. Any you can play with friends whore can see your computer screen. I was pretty impressed with it.

Just tried it and it feels a bit laggy and not as quick as stock version. Opening a page I get a slight out of focus just before page loads. Revert back and all is good.

I think it looks horrible... Text doesn't scale properly, especially in this forum... I reverted back as well

Agreed. Performance seems worse to me and the rendering engine seems broken. Everything is blurry as hell. Made my 720x1280 screen look like 480x800. Reverted back to the previous version of Chrome.

Stock is the way to go. Chrome eats battery

Pretty much my experience - scrolling isn't as smooth as on the AOSP browser, and the text is blurry. They should just call the old stock browser Chrome and be done with it.

Horribly blurry now. reverted back and thinking of giving Dolphin a try

Syncing between all devices and my desktop plus tab swiping is too good to leave.
However the new version does suck. Where can I get the previous one? What was the version number?

Does the Chrome Beta app have all the current features and more?
I've been using the beta for a while and it's silky smooth for me and I've never experienced any of the problems you guys are listing.

Reverted back to the previous version. Typing in forums was pretty buggy

If the stock browser is Google product, why not eliminate the chrome app and incorporate some of chromes features into the stock browser?

I've had to revert back with titanium backup as well.
Fonts on it was way too blurry. Almost got me blind.

OT: I dont understand why people like the old aosp browser. Its horrible. Like using a phone in the 80's. Different strokes though I guess.

Because it just works, doesn't get upgraded and still syncs your bookmarks. Chrome development on the other hand has multiple personality disorder.

Lol @ doesn't get upgraded being one of your plus points.
It doesn't matter though, use the one you like. I just don't like the old fashioned style of aosp.
Sync bookmarks is one thing sync tabs is another. Can it do tabs? I don't think so but if I'm wrong can you explain. Maybe I will try it again.

Note 4 is stuttering and laggy

Got my note 4 and it seems to be stuttery and laggy mostly when scrolling through menus and Internet pages and while typing it is very stuttery . Anyone getting the same thing ?

Nope. But the first thing I did was go through and disable/uninstall every bit of bloatware that was possible. Phone is smooth as butter...

nah mine is nice and smooth. only typing lag I get is with swiftkey on hangouts bc hangouts is a horribly coded lagfest.

I had the very same issue. I discovered my fingerprint scanner didn't work and no one could hear me during phone calls. I also had what i thought was high battery usage (probably a bad fingerprint module). I exchanged mine for a new one, and that one works perfectly. Hope this helps.

I had that problem when I went to art runtime but switched back to dalvik and perfectly fine. Even on art my phone would turn on the screen for odd reasons and find myself calling someone but not even an issue on dalvik.

yea sorry to tell you but you def got a defective device... this phone is the smoothest and fastest device I have ever experienced... go get a new one before it is too late!

Everything has been pretty smooth for me. Only thing is the delay when using the recent apps button.

Wipe first then post..
Wipe first and then post. Being a new phone I really didn't think a wipe would help. After resetting it appears to work correctly the typing lag is gone and scrolling seems to transition fluidly. I'll play the rest of the day and see if it reverts or stays like this.
So to the developers. . What on a fresh , new phone would cause it to act laggy ? And how would a data reset correct it? We are not flashing roms, and the os is untouched during a factory reset.. it's not like I Odined the system over to replace a corrupt system file. Any thoughts ?

Mine works fine. Disabled a bunch of apps and slapped apex launcher on it. So far I'm happy just wishing for root still.

Is it laggy with battery saving mode on or even with normal mode?? I found my laggy and froze with battery saving mode on. I have tried to factory reset and do a rom recovery, disabled all the bloat but no help. so I request for a new one. If suggest if anything is not normal, just get a new one while you're under 14 days warranty period.

Yeah I just might.

Yep, mine has froze and reboot issue, I called VZ and they you should get it in 2 days. They will put the charge on your account (no need for credit card), once received the new device, just ship back the old one and they will credit back 312$ to your account. You must call VZ technical support, not customer service. Tech support has the power to do anything with your phone. Good luck!

The only time I've come across stuttering/lag is playing Sky Force 2014. This game will just not play smoothly on the Note 4. It's very fluid on the S5 however. Maybe it's the upgrade in resolution. I don't know.

Getting ridiculous lag in Hangouts and there is a bit of delay on the recent apps.
I chalk it up to Hangouts being crappy and Samsung being lazy with the recent apps impelentation.. everything else is butter.

Well here is the weird part about mine, it was lag free until i tried flashing a rom. N910w8 model. Then went to tri finger scanner and the app dont launch i get an error, just my luck

I am also getting lag in hangouts and it doesn't scroll down when I type a message and send it.
Also - Put the note 3 and note 4 next to each other, home screen, say "okay google" note 3 beats it by a full second every time.

I'm on art and I have no lag whatsoever it's as smooth as my m8 was and way smoother then my g3 was.

omfg that's the worst! my tab s does that. since day 1 it won't scroll down which lags it even harder. my note 4 does though, as did all my phones. but the tablet refuses to. I don't get why the hell it doesn't scroll automatically!

Yep so i got the notification this morning on my un-rooted s6. Since i have a poor signal i decided to update and see if my signal will improve. Will see how it goes as my day wears on...

Maybe it's placebo, but it does seem to help with scrolling and touch screen responsiveness. Since I purchased this phone, that has been a sore spot for me, especially coming from the M8 which is incredibly smooth and responsive.
Also this update adds a new app, Samsung+. Most of you will disable this like I did.
I checked for the update manually and got it first try.

just curious, does this fix the voicemail bug? It's showing I have 2 voicemails, but when I call voicemail there is nothing there.
I've checked with the Sprint VoiceMail app, and by calling and there are no messages.

My voice mail is working on the phone and calling from a land line.
Running good so far. My poor signal at work is still there. At home it can burst up to 25mb on a download so i was hoping my signal at work would improve with an update.

annoying
i've just updated this morning and can't stop annoying from hands free activation,i bought this phone from my friend in US,i already search how to turn it off but this phone need to root first,how can i turn it off without root?

I miss my M8 too, it was smooth, I have lag with the GS6

Heck that has been happening ever since I got the phone. Terrible multitasking, RAM management, jumpy scrolling right out of the box. I've been terribly disappointed with this phone.
With that said, 5.1.1 update has made things a little smoother on my phone. Battery is still crap and RAM is still jacked, but it does seem a little smoother.
The worst part is seeing the folks in the unified development forum singing the praises for the xstereolite ROM and how good it is on battery, knowing us Sprint users are on the outside looking in.

I am also disappointed 5.1.1 didn't fix the glaring issues with this phone. The 2 new Nexus' are shaping up to be killer. Might have to get y first ever sock Android phone soon if Sammy doesn't get their shizzz together..

Performance seems better for me but battery is tanking with Android system using the most at 8%. I'm going to try a factory reset myself.

Hardware or software?

Hello. I use google translate so may errors in the sentences. So the problem is that as the system is not running fluently that I notice tiny entanglement applications, games fps dropped out. And I want to know if this is a hardware failure or android system is the problem. Hearthstone for example, is quite weak and my brother goes to Sony Xperia Z 3 device in three runs much better in other games as well.

Wat?

This would depend on what the symptoms are if your slowdowns are happening in only one app, I'd guess it's not optimized for the Snapdragon 820, or the compiler screwed up when installing the app. If they're system wide, my guess would be either a memory leak or a background app that's misbehaving. If after rebooting the phone it's still slow it could be hardware, but it's more likely that it's a bad batch of code in the cache...
Basically, we need details. What apps are slow? What software are you running? Is your phones bootloader unlocked? Or is it completely S-Off? When is it slowest? Does rebooting help anything?

I will see what I can do to help. What browser are you using, and is it slow on every page? Or just the ones that are media rich?
Also, have you tried a factory reset?
... OH, and have you ever updated the firmware?
Something I'd suggest is downloading AnTuTu Benchmark and 3D Mark, run their tests and post the results or screenshots here. Also, we need to know if they were run after a fresh reboot or not. It makes a pretty big difference.
Just to make sure I understand what you're saying on point 4... would this rewrite of point four be accurate?

Does the lag occur after a reboot as well?

It comes up after a reboot. This will be a software problem. Because I have been told that due to battery's protection is doing something. And that would be the solution to everything.

Xperia XA1 videos in apps (Facebook/YouTube) sharp and pixely

I've just got my xperia yesterday and have now noticed in Facebook when I'm scrolling down my feed when I see a video it's very sharp and pixely. It's driving me mental.. In the YouTube app all the videos I watch are very sharp/pixelated, lower the quality the worse it gets but in full HD 720p 1080p it still looks bad but it's not pixely it's just very sharp.. Dont know how to post pics to show you. I've went through the phones screen setting and tried everything but it's still pixely and sharp it's driving me insane.. Anyone else have the same problem?

It it just me having this problem? Is anyone else having this problem?

I know what you mean. It's a big screen, but I think the PPI is not that high. I also took out an Asus Zenfone 3 Zoom with the Xperia so I could compare both, and the Asus' screen is miles ahead in video and graphics quality. That being said, the Xperia's shine is in it's .5 inch larger screen.

I'm not. I was just so excited for the phone to come out to only find that what ever format of video being played looks horrid. I've tried every setting but still any video I watch looks like something from 2004. I've replaced this phone 3 times now and same issue.

and this is in super-vivid mode and (also) smallest screen size

so maybe try some settings one more time (take three deep breath). I fully understand your excitement

I feel like an idiot haha. I turned off image inchancement and tried watching videos and they look way better. Tried super vivid and they looked horrid. Turned off image inchancement and everything looks beautiful thanks ..

Sometimes the simplest solutions lead to the best results I'm glad i can help.

The issue we're experiencing on this phone with video playback is flash in browser.
Tried with Chrome, Opera, lightning browser, same issue. In-app video playback is decent. Maybe not as good as other Android phones, but still good enough to enjoy.
Flash just doesn't deliver a good experience on this phone. The XA1 Ultra is otherwise nice and good value, just too bad it doesn't deliver good video playback in flash. Probably not a big deal, as flash will hopefully soon be a thing of the past. Haven't tested HTML5 in browser yet.
I see this phone can be rooted, so a custom ROM would probably fix this, but no idea what the camera compatibility would be with custom ROM's on this handset.
On a side note, didn't like the UI of the stock Album app, so installed ported Moto G4 gallery via APK.

Same here. Any fix? Ridicolous happening in Facebook Instagram ecc

It's an easy fix guys. Just turn off image enchancement in display settings

It's off for me. No vivid no enhancement
