Hello everyone. I have been reading forums on this website for a long time and I must say there is tons of useful information over here. So thought I should become a member too.
Recently I Bought Note 10.1 2014 Edition LTE version. I was expecting it to be much better that its really is. The display is nice but there is lag on this Tablet. It stutters during web browsing. I have a note 3 also which is much smoother although it has 1.9 Ghz Exynos processor as compared to 2.3 Ghz on this tablet. Anyways I have read on net that may be its because it has double the amount of pixels on display as compared to note 3 therefore it has some amount of lag.
Ok my main question to you guys who already own this tablet. In reflection of light I can see the Digitizer Matrix all along the display. its a bit annoying looks like faint sctraches on the screen. I have used many android devices but never experienced anything like it before. while looking as it directly with no light reflection it is not visible at all but even in faintest light reflection is starts to become visible even with the display on
So is it normal or a defect?
Help would be highly appreciated.

Have you used a device with an inductive display before? It puts out an electromagnetic signal which detects the presence of the pen. That's why the display looks different. I've been using mine since November and have never noticed the grid in everyday use. As for lag it pretty much went away with the 4.4 update. If you're already on 4.4 and the display grid is going to bother you return the device while you still can.

The visible matrix does not bother me too much when in use. The display is still beautiful.
I am still on 4.3 coz 4.4 is not available in my region yet. Lets hope once the update is made available in my region, lag will reduce.
The gaming performance however, is better than on note 3.

4.4 is rolling out painfully slow. What region are you in and what model number N10.1-14 do you have? Chances are you can safely download and install a compatible region's ROM without changing the status of your device or tripping KNOX.

You can download the HK 4.4 ROM here.
http://samsung-updates.com/details/30043/Galaxy_Note_10.1_2014_LTE/SM-P605/TGY/P605ZSUCNF1.html
Many people on the forum are using ROMs from other (but compatible) regions because 4.4 hasn't been rolled out to their specific region yet. I'm using a Panamanian ROM on a SM-P601 from Trinidad. They work fine. There can be some oddity (I still have lock screen widgets which I shouldn't and don't have Daynote when I should) but everything else works as designed.
If you've never installed a non-standard ROM on your device do a Google search on "Odin." It'll link you to s/w you need to download and provide you with instructions. I can answer any questions you might have. There's little risk and it doesn't affect your device's status (it stays "official") or KNOX. For me, 4.4 was like getting a new tablet.
Yes I am sure 4.4 solves many issues. I will try the above instructions today. thanks a lot and best regards.

Hi due to political instability in my country, my office is off nowadays and I finally got some time to update my software.
I installed P605XXUCNF2 version which is from NEE region. At first I was not sure but then the lag and stutter in my tablet forced me to go for it.

Like you said Barry its literally like having a new tablet. The lag is gone and overall it has become really smooth.
Thank you for your advice without which I would never have found the solution.
God bless you bro.

i just thought i'd pitch in, theres a setting in chrome you can change to eliminate that lag - it just doesnt allocate enough ram for the resolution its rendered at by default.
Wow another thread about lag..I have had this tab since Dec 2013 ..Never had lag, no issues ever... I have a life, so I don't sit and stare at the tablet all day and pick at it. It's Android . And Sammy it will have some issues...There are quick easy fixes for the mysterious lag people are complaining about. This is the best tab out for this year..The Tab S is the same tab minus the pen..it only has a better screen ..but that could be debated as well.

The amoled display will considerably increase battery life and will have better contrast. Its a huge improvement.
Other specs of tab s is same as note 10.1 as far as I know.

I have used LG Optimus G Pro previously, the G PRO is a beast in Major areas except Camera and Sound. I get few problems when using HTC 820.
1) The Software does lag some times and the result is opening multiple apps or tabs at a time.
2) The Typing is not as smooth as LG G PRo, what it lack is the speed. The OSK doesn't fetch the user key presses as fast as other phones.
3) IMO i do not like the UI and somewhat it lacks the feel good factor, I need to use different GUI apps to make it better like GO or Aviate.
Will update if i face any problems, I too got this phone a week ago.
Thanks

Considering we're still only on 5.0.2 and 5.1.1 has been out for many months I'd feel there is little chance this year if ever. A custom ROM will be our best bet. Also be careful what you wish for as you still see many posts from people reverting to KitKat while Lollipop has been great for me.

Let first hope that we will get 5.1.1 first then think about android M
One day, when we've moved on to other devices, Samsung may release M for the Tab S
they might just be skipping 5.1.x and going directly to M...

no, pure speculation
but I just wonder the point of devoting energy into 5.1 when M is on the horizon.
who knows how it works though.
I dont think tab s can run android m properly
If we wont get the android M update from samsung maybe we will get a a port like cm13 who knows

M is supposed to be optimized and with several improvements in comparison to LP.
So if it can run LP than it will fly with M.
It's Samsung obligation to provide Android M, because of the 2 year firmware support. No excuses are accepted!
Being fed up with all my Samsung devices firmware sluggish and dated updates, I'm considering in the future moving to Nexus or Apple.
Samsung, please don't ask premium prices, and then provide the cheapest support.
I agree @pacc I think I will move on to one plus LG and nexus my next device wont be samsung
I read the other day that galaxy tab 4 is receiving android 5.1.1 around now , so I'm hoping the tab S will get it too...anything else doesn't make sense; both devices released around the same time, and tab S is the premium one...
As for M, that just wild speculation. My money is on "no, we won't get that"

IMHO, and I'm no expert just an end user, Android and Apple bite. Not ONE Android based device I have is capable of browsing the internet with the same functionality as Chrome, Firefox or IE. Facebook apps are lame at best and I prefer the interface we are given with a browser over any of the apps. I'm not going to buy any future Android based devices. I totally refuse to purchase anything from Apple after being stung buying an iPOD years ago.
So IF I ever buy another tablet, and that's pretty doubtful, it will be Windows based, cell phone too.
Samsung, Asus, Rockchip devices using Android....no more of my money....
Samsung suckered me in with a great price for awesome hardware but I am more educated now I would never buy a Samsung these days. I originally installed a custom ROM because I got tired of all the lag and bugs of Tab S stock kitkat. Expensive lesson as now my knox is tripped.. Samsung probably isn't excited to release software because everyone is wiping to get rid of lag then never reporting into their service. I lasted two months.. I would type a sentence then wait as it slowly came out, it was epic bad lag.
I lasted 2 days and tjen wiped and flashed a custom rom lol I guess thats the reason why they dont update

They may be using Tab 4 as a test before putting their eggs in the basket with the Tab S.
I must have lower expectations of my tab than you guy`s, I am still on kitkat and apart from rooting to get full microsd access i have had no problems at all, I don't care about updates they seem to cause more problems than they are worth.
John.
Great devices totally ruined by that crappy samsung software
I don't know how well I can describe, the phone freezes sometimes when having multiple apps running on background. Would it be the phone specs that I have only 3GB and 32GB storage? After freezing a while, the phone shows system ui not responding.
What should I do for that?

I think this is just lack of Nokia optimising the software on the phone. I'm just waiting for someone to make a room for this thing cuz it pretty sucks right now.
Hi there. I bought my girlfriend this phone about a month ago due to a nearly glowing review on The Wirecutter. She's having the same problem, but she's not familiar with XDA so I offered to post here for her.
Is this an uncommon problem? I am not seeing any thread about intermittent System UI crashes on Nokia 6.1.
I think it depends on what apps you use on it. Hardware specs on this phone cannot handle everything. If you only use the camera in Whatsapp it allready csn hang. That's my main issue the camera. For the rest its ok.. maybe you need a high end phone.

I don't have any lagging, hanging issues with the phone, but take my opinion with a grain of salt since i have the 4GB/64GB version.
It seems like August patch is somewhat more optimized than previous version. I was stuck in June security patch then jumped to august, so i can tell that there were improvements..

with a task mgmt apk and close those that use a big amount of ram like those that continuously update like FB. Also reboot your phone very once and a while to refresh the OS
I run into this issue pretty often on TA-1045. Not sure what's causing it, but its to the point where the phone is almost unusable as a daily driver if you use your phone for important calls/messages .. I'm hoping the September update will address some of this, but I had a more reliable experience with my very old Nexus 5X running Android 8 compared to this
---------- Post added at 04:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:02 PM ----------
Also, I run into this issue with 1GB RAM free
Hello guys ! Same issue here , 3/32 gb. I can honestly say at this point that because of the lack of optimization the phone is a piece of sh*t. Literally, I cannot use it as a daily driver , I only have installed FB and messenger, what's app and 9 gag. I don't need use anything else. I don't use the camera . The phone just freezes and it's unusable for a minute or two. It freezes randomly , when unlocking when trying to make a call or when opening a ****ty app. TBH I wouldn't buy a device like this again .. my GF has the p20 lite , not bright at all but far far better then my 6.1 . If pie won't fix this I will just hammer the phone and throw it to garbage.
I think to say that this phone runs this way due to limited hardware is just coming up with excuses. My 2015 Moto g runs Oreo and everything else better than this phone and was $80 cheaper. My 10" tablet with a Snapdragon 400 series with 2gb of ram has none of these issues either. It has to be something not working correctly in the ROM. I really hope that pie fixes things, if not then eBay will be. To be fair lagging/freezing happens about 25% of the time. Camera freezing happens 90%, no system UI crash. Whats really ****ed up is how no review says how much this phone sucks.
The same freezes on my Nokia (TA-1043) waiting for custom roms... Nokia software is crap

I did contact nokia customer support, they told me to patiently wait for the next update and just restart my phone using the hardware keys when it freezes. When I asked about sending it to warranty they said again to wait for the next update . I said ok will do that . Now if pie doesn't fix this , I will make sure to let everyone know not to buy a nokia again .

Oh yes I have contacted them at least 5 times and they always say to do the same crap. Last one told me to send it in for warranty but I know they won't do anything since it's not only me with the issue and I don't want to be without a phone or them to open it up for nothing.

I agree they dont seem to offer real solutions. My main problem is the laggy camera. But if indeed android pie does not help. I am selling it to.
If it IS the ROM an "update" can only do so much and cant reverse system flaws inherent from the manufacturing process. It also doesnt help that the OS uses 2 Gs of RAM. Anyone know if the X6 has the same problem?
I have a TA-1045 (bought in USA) manufactured July 2018 that came pre-installed with Oreo 8.1 and I do not have any of the freeze or lag or whatever. If yours was updated from Nougat maybe you can factory reset it so it will clean everything in data and system/application preferences?

Do you have the 4GB with 64GB then? And maybe you dont have a lot of apps installed
To fix camera freezing try turning off location for camera in app settings and also in the camera settings.
The freezing has become unbearable. I can't believe how bad this phone is now. Such a shame, may need a new phone if not resolved soon.
Hello, i just got my A3 2017. I have a few questions, i hope you can answer them.
1) Android version is Oreo 8.0, security 1. december 2018. I want to know if they fixed the bootloop and crash when you use certain wifi's. And if there is any other major fault on this android version.
2) Is there any reason to downgrade to 7.0 or 6.0.1 on this phone ? I dont care about latest version, i just want the version that works best with no problems.
3) Can i use call recorder on this phone and how ? I will not root the phone (have my reasons) and i want only official roms
4) Anything i should know about this phone to get the best experience ?

To start, yes, all issues have been fixed. Now, with these requirements you're pretty much limited to oreo as you can't downgrade to a version with an older bootlader without rooting or using a custom recovery. The oldest build you can flash is the August 2018 one since it shares the same bootloader (Version 3) with the December 2018 one. Now call recording is pretty much dependent on CSC (Country Sales Code). So unless your phone came with a CSC that allows call recording, you'd have to switch to one that does have it, otherwise you'd have to root and flash a package that unlocks all CSC specific features on your existing rom. And lastly, yeah Exynos 7870 isn't that great anymore and even though samsung keeps using it in phones, the RAM and Storage of this phone really kill it, so unless you are going to do basic tasks with frequent maintenance, this phone won't really be your cup of tea.
Thank you for your replies,
Im happy that problems have been fixed and i can remain on 8.0 with no problems. Call recording is probably off but i can live with that. As for speed, there is no worries, i mostly just use it for calls and messages and occasionaly browse a webpage and use google maps. Coming from samsung s5 mini, this should be plenty fast.
I did some testing and using lab501 web browsing simulation with wifi on and screen on normal, battery lasted a whooping 1060 minutes. Coming from s5 mini which lasted about 300 minutes, u can understand how i feel. Also i tested always on screen: in 10.5 hours battery went down 3%. I am still deciding whether to use it or not. Its also a lot faster than my s5 mini, that was basicly the main reason i upgraded phone. s5 mini was otherwise perfect, but it was really slow.
I am wondering about some camera tips. I want to get the most out of camera. How to tweak it ?
Just wanted to say so far i am very happy with my phone. It is snappy enough (obviously with disabled animations and some apps), battery is great. Camera obviously could be better but thats a compromise you have to take. I wish it was a bit smaller, i have to use it with 2 hands often. Its very slippery, i use a "condom" for it but that is also slippery, which is absolutely stupid. I ordered like 6 new "condoms" of different looks and types and hope that 1 of them will make the phone as awesome to hold as s5 mini was. Remember s5 mini back cover is basicly rubber, that phone sticks to your hand ! I have some more questions.
1) how to get the most out of the camera, what settings ?
2) is it possible to remove the back cover and replace it with a rubbery back cover, like s5 mini had ? Or maybe buy some duct tape that would be less slippery and just stick it to the phone ?
