So I just installed the new Synergy ROM from Myn's Warm RLS4. I love it, but in addition, I was hoping that the new ROM would get rid of my slow home screen refresh. It doesn't happen all the time, but when it does, it is super annoying. Even if I go into the app drawer while the home screen is loading, the apps in the app drawer are loading as well.
After i flashed Synergy, the phone was incredibly snappy, due to its fresh wipe. After I used Titanium Backup to reload my apps + data and Launcher Pro to restore my homescreen the slow refresh came back.
I've hypothesized that it could be due to the amount of widgets on my home screen. However, this does not explain why the app drawer is also slow to load. Which leads me to believe that my 16gb class 2 MicroSD is the culprit since I've moved a majority of my apps to my SD card.
Will bumping up to a class 6+ help with my issue?
TIA
I've had the exact same problem from time to time. Also slow sometimes changing to landscape. I've got a Class 10 SD Card so don't waste your money on a new card. I'm hoping that it'll be fixed with the next release. Otherwise, the ROM has worked perfectly for me.
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.
Hi,
So I offer this phone to my wife this xmas and everything was going smooth until we found this issue:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYFdyDwuS_w
The bottom screen does this flickering when typing with Swiftkey keyboard on some apps. This one is Doggcatcher but it happens on other apps too.
If I swap to GBoard it does not happen. We're on Android Pie 9.0.
Has anyone found this issue?
Seems like a graphic bug in that specific keyboard.
Please, i need help.
Evaluate for yourself whether it is related to this topic.
Occasionally, graphical glitches appear on my Mi A2 lite, (4/64, Android Pie, December update, locked bootloader, no root, intact system).
In most cases, they flickering all over the screen, and in some other cases they are frozen, as is shown in attachment.
They are completely random and they appear through many applications that i use.
I can not determine the cause.
Does anyone else have a similar problem?
me... on chrome and all app that use webview... during call status bar is flickering... when switch to the camera in whatsapp with swipe to set status... and other
Something similar here, if Facebook Messenger chat head is overlaying YouTube it flickers a lot (only the actual video but the description and recommend are always working without flicker also no problems in fullscreen), less often it happens with Chrome and sometimes YouTube does it without Facebook Messenger even being open (Android Pie Dec. 5) [also it didn't happen for the first few weeks with 8.1 then Pie got released and worked well for some days then this started to happen]
I have that problem , the notification bar flickers a lot and when on video calls, it shows a black flickering rectangle at the bottom of the screen
Hi, I've got the same problem here. For me, the flickering appears when the keyboard is open, and get faster while typing, please does someone know how to fix that?

It is true that it is the keyboard, my keyboard developer is fixing the bug making it do that as we speak but in my case the whole screen flashes black instead of the little box you have
The problem with the flickering screen in some apps like Youtube, Chrome or Instagram can be fixed as follows:
Go to Developer Options and activate "disable hw overlays"
However, the setting must be set again after every Phone restart.

Isn't that bad long term?
"Without a hardware overlay every application that is displaying things on the screen will share video memory and will have to constantly check for collision and clipping to render a proper image, this can cost a lot of processing power. With a hardware overlay each application gets its own portion of video memory, getting rid of the need to check for collision and clipping."

So far, I have not encountered any problems because of this.

Mine was having same flickering, checked HW overlays. It was disabled by default, I enabled it and now working perfectly. Thanks alot
after using this phone for 3 months, here are the problems I have found.
After every reboot, sorting of images in my gallery change. Most recent pictures and on top. they just get mixed and match. I use a SanDisk SD card. nothing is in order, I mean nothing. This is the thing I hate the most.
Gallery app updates itself pretty slowly, after taking a photo, it takes about 4 minutes to find that pic. in twitter app.

GPS is not a mess, it is mostly a punishment by a higher being. cursor flips other sides, it requires calibration all the time, when I turn right, it turns to left or doesn't even move. Sometimes it works, sometimes it works backward. This GPS losing me time every single day. Shame on you Xiaomi
-
it takes I'm not kidding, 10 minutes for my phone to load 200GB SanDisk card with 60gb data in it.
To boot the phone back from a reboot, I need to take the sim tray off, otherwise, the home-screen doesn't show up, I just see my wallpaper for 5 minutes. Even though the app I'm going to lunch is stored internally (let's say twitter) I cannot launch it before the sd card loads completely.
-
video recording option on the main camera app makes the phone freeze and brick. Yeah, just wanting to record a video bricked my one once. it was awesome. Had to format everything and start over.

Backspace key lags, sometimes doesn't recognize when typing fast. Not sure why, it is very odd.
Rooted with magist, TWRP using the stock ROM.
running Android 9, 128gb lavender
Hi all,
Got my Pixel 6 Pro and while battery life has been rubbish but is now settling, I have a weird bug with Google Photos.
I can't access the "memories" properly as every time I click on one I just get a black screen. If I leave the screen on, after about 2 minutes it will show up but God knows what is happening in-between.
I have also noticed that some photos all taken on the same day show up as multiple days on photos. It's fine if I look in a browser Weird as hell. I've tried to Clear cache, uninstalled, reinstalled, cleared data.
Is anyone else having similar issues? There's a Google questions thread with the same issue and it's not been solved yet. Any ideas?
I seem to have the same problem. My device runs noticeable warm. Google photos lags crazy and the media storage app (you have to show system apps) seems to use 20GB storage. Something is wrong. Were you able to fix this?
I ended up speaking to Google over chat and they sent me a new device but it's got the same issue. Accessing memories still gives me a black screen.
Maybe this is some weird Google Photos caching thing. I'm gonna see if it settles after a few days
I haven't had these problems (yet) and I've been using Google Photos a ton since I got the phone last Wednesday. Apps up to date? On the .036 OTA?
Yeah apps are all up to date and rocking the 0.36. Weird.
@kiz84 could you check what your "media storage" app shows as user data? mine shows 20.78GB that's insane.
Where is the media storage app?
settings -> apps -> all apps -> three dots and "show system" then search for "Media Storage"
my memories works fine
device doesnt run warm on google photos
but my user data for media storage is 28.10gb
thats about 10gb of video and 17gb of photos. A quick check shows the video size to be about right. im not going to count up the images sizes
Thanks! It's 18.55 GB!
Just connected my phone to my PC and yes I do have over 20gb of media on the device !
I think the media size is ok because I have a lot of WhatsApp stuff in there too. Memories sometimes appear and sometimes are just blank. If I click on them, they just appear black. Weird. Must be a bug surely.
@wilbur-force in case you're still having this black screen issue with memories, it seems to have solved itself. I didn't do anything tbh but now they are working fine
Sorry, wrong person I meant @Air ! Please see above
