Title says it all. After installing the OTA, chrome browser hangs after about 30-60 seconds. Tabs can't switch and pages don't load. I have tried wiping the phone and the problem persists.
Go to app manager and clear the data and cache for chrome and see if that works if not try uninstalling the app and reinstall again from the play store

Already tried that. I even went into recovery and did a "clear storage" to reset my phone. Same thing, chrome not working.
Does the stock browser work okay? Just trying to narrow down the problem

That is really odd I am running a 2.23 based rom which is pretty much the same as the 2.20 release and I use chrome as my default browser and have no problems. If I think of something else I will post it up

Me too, no issues.
I am stock, and not rooted. I would like to hear from someone else in the same boat. I can't imagine it's just me.
I have the same issue. Sites won't refresh, it will just get stuck at about 20% progress. Opening a new tab doesn't work because it's a blank tab and won't even show my favorites. Lastly, it won't let me close a tab because it's stuck in full screen view rather then backing out to the preview tabs.....

I have always wondered why people like Chrome on Android. Chrome on Widows kicks ass, but on Android I find it lacking. The swiping to change tabs is about the only useful feature it has, but the touch zones at the edges of the screen are too narrow to make it unusable, at least with a TPU case. No reading mode, no full screen either. I also have Chrome installed out of curiosity, but am ready to dump it. The ability to transparently see the same tabs on the desktop and phone is just not enough of a benefit for me.
Chrome was rock solid on 1.85, but on 2.20 it freezes every time I open a second tab, requiring a soft reset.
Same issues as the rest of you all but my stock browser is freezing as well but that may have been due to my wifi
I just tried a fresh install of Chrome on my HOX with 2.2 OTA. Never had it installed before, so, there should be no oddities with old files.
I can confirm that when opening a 2nd tab and trying to go to a site, the browser hangs.
Personally, I use ICS browser. Much faster and sleeker than anything else out there, imo.

Same issues here. Haven't found any solution yet. I did find this though:
https://support.google.com/chrome/bin/static.py?hl=en&page=known_issues.cs
Under "Site display issues" > "Pages are blank, distorted, or flickering on my HTC..."
Their "workaround" doesn't work for me though. Looks like we might just have to wait for a system update...(if you're on stock that is)

Not sure what the issue is, but I dumped Chrome after being enamored with it. Felt like it was slower, using more battery, and constantly refreshing. Oh, and took up huge amount of resources. Switched back to Opera, playing with Firefox Beta. Much smoother.

I came to this board to see if anyone else was experiencing this! Yes, I am experiencing it too and it sucks, chrome is basically unusable. I have cleared the cache, data, uninstalled, etc.
Unfortunately, I am on stock rom/unrooted (just recently bought it and updated before checking the dev boards, whoops! hopefully some awesome dev figures out 2.20 soon). In the brief time I used 1.85, I did not experience this problem, maybe at&t f***ed it up. hopefully chromium gets an update, or better yet, bring on jelly bean, HTC!
The latest Sept 12 chrome update still does not fix this problem. Dolphin beta and stock browser working good.

Since I hadn't seen this posted I wanted to let everyone know that they can get full working flash on their Evo's without having to install Froyo. I in no way take credit for this work (AuxLV originally posted this in the Nexus One forum). Without any further delay here is the apk. Just install and enjoy!

So my wife and I both got s8+ when they first got released. It seemed as if when we first got the phones, they were running flawlessly and fast as hell. Now a month or so later, both our phones seem laggy and sluggish. I always run device maintenance on both to keep things cleared up. Dunno what else to try. Wish we had root already so I can get rid of all this bloat and unnecessary stuff. Any recommendations from anyone? Dunno if maybe debloating apps or programs with a app is possible without root?

Have you checked who the offenders are in your phone? Which apps/processes are running the most and see if they are 3rd party apps that ruin the experience.
Have you tried changing launchers, maybe try Nova

I never faced any issues or lag except *bixby* for sure. I am using the exynos variant here i am not sure if it's something related to snapdragon chipset or not but
* we encountered lots of problems with note 4 snapdragon variants with emmc bug failure. The nand seems to be corrupted within 2 years and no solution for this kind of problem unless you buy a new motherboard
I bought this phone month a go and it runs as fast as it should
* my only advice for you is to try enabling debug GPU overdraw under developer option google it, definitely it's a 3rd party app causing this problem but in both phones i doubt.

Are you guys using any of the Bye Bixby remapping apps? I had a slight lag but after uninstalling the app it's completely gone. By slight I mean I notice a little stutter when scrolling through my apps in settings, other than that nothing to complain about.

For me also it's the same...the shutters and lags are more when I unlock the phone after few hrours of inactivity and after using the phone for a while they seem to reduce...my one plus3 was way smoother than this phone...
Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk
mine will randomly start lagging sometimes after long uptime i think, a reboot fixes it though
Yeah see how much free space you have left... on your internal memory? I have noticed that my phone is filling up with all sorts of crap from a couple games I play and stuff the little advert videos and stuff it's taking up gigs of space...
The only place I see lag in the UI was when using the stock launcher. On the Snapdragon S8+ that i have the launcher that came with the phone is the worst performing launcher I've had out of the box in my 5 years of buying Samsung phones.
Hey guys I was wondering if anybody is having any issues with the OnePlus 6 running Android P Dev 3 with sending and receiving phone calls SMS and MMS?
No DP3 is very solid for me!
So far it has been very smooth for me as well. The other day I was having issues with sending an MMS and it was because I didn't have all the permissions set.

Dirty flash here and running good. This is my second install though, both dirty flash over 5.1.9. this first time I was having some connection issues so I rolled back. Then I got bored and decided to try it again, and no issues so far this time. :good:
Can anyone confirm how safe it is to update will it be safe to use it as a daily driver?

Yeah so far this rom is pretty smooth no major issues. A few app crashes here and there but it's probably because the apps haven't been updated yet to run with Android 9.
I dirty flashed then did a factory reset.
Any body else have a persistent carat symbol on the OnePlus Launcher? Can't get it off no matter what I do.

Should only be there on your home screens to show that you slide up for all apps list. Definitely shouldn't be there on the dock. Did you try clearing cache in recovery? Are you completely stock on the P beta, or are you using other mods/changes to the system?

Completely stock. There are actually 2 carats on the home screen, a bigger one and the small one seen in the screenshots.
Doesn't effect performance, just annoying.
Have cleared cache from recovery and on just about every system app that it will allow me to clear it. Can't downgrade the launcher unfortunately.
My OCD won't allow me to look past it lol
So I have this weird scrolling issue, like the one on this video:
Can someone please test if their phone does the same? I will replace the phone if this turns out to be a hardware fault. Thanks!
Hi,
I have the same issue on my OP9. But if I hadn't seen this video, I would never have known there was such a problem. Like in your video, problem exists only in stock launcher.

Alright, thank you! Yes it is a minor issue, but still quite annoying (at least for me and my way of using the device). Hopefully they will fix as it soon, as it seems to be happening only on the base non-pro 9 model.

In Nova the app drawer is side to side, but no issue there and in trying up and down in couple apps no issue . Even tested keyboard and virtually instant response using exact same keys from video. P0qla no delay at all

Hello all. Often I get lag and camera failed error. It happens mostly when I launch camera from double press off power key, into video mode. The camera is unusable for some time.
*How do I update the camera APK from APK mirror. I always get app not installed when side loading system apps. This issue I had on previous Samsung flagships.
is the app your trying to sideload signed ? are you rooted ? sorrry they seem like obvious questions and i think i remember your name from back in the day on the evo 3d forum ??? so your not new to this, but had to check

Hahaha you got me, I'm an old head lol. Haven't needed to get help often so yeah it's been a while
I would not side load this.
There may be a glitch with using the side key to launch it.
Try in safe mode to rule out a 3rd party app...
Keep trashware social media apps like WhatsApp, Tic-tok, FB, etc off the phone.
Clear system cache.
Clear cam data and try again.
thought the name seemed familiar, think weve crossed paths several times with various devices over the years, you would need root to sideload it im quite sure, as it would be trying to overwrite the original app

Go to Device Care and in memory clear the cache apps. Now try the side switch cam thing, after it launches go immediately back to Device Care and see what apps loaded since it was cleared.
It may give a clue to the cause. I've used this technique to track down some nasty little buggers. It's saved me from a factory reset.
