A friend rooted my phone today since i don't know how. He said he left its rooted but nothing is flashed as far as roms. While browsing on my web now something very annoying is happening. Wether in landscape or portrait mode if i drag my finger on the edge of the screen on either side in zooms in and out instead of scrolling....is there a function that turns this off. It is driving me crazy.
Rooting wouldnt cause that to happen. What browser are you using? the stock one?
I believe it's a function under the motion settings
Sent from my VS920 4G using xda app-developers app
Yes i am using the stock browser. I did not see anything in the motion settings that revolves around what is happening. I also did not see anything in the browser settings that enables/disables it either.
The edge zooms in and out while touching the middle scrolls up and down. Tapping the screen also zooms in and out.

I dl the official jellybean update when it officially came out from vzw. I was not rooted then and i did not notice this at all. I only noticed it today after i was rooted. It is really annoying as my fingers mostly scroll along the edges of the screen. I use pinch to zoom and double tap. Is there a way to take it off? It is driving me nuts.
No you can't take it off as you can not change how an app uses a smartphone's touch functions. If its that big of a deal breaker for you then I don't know what to tell you as all apps have a set way to utilize the touch screen and not one of them have a way to alter the touch screen only the app itself. Also with all mobile phones there is no touch screen setting so if you want to drag your fingers up and down on the edge of the screen to scroll a website you will have to find a browser that utilizes that function.

But it didn't do it before i got rooted. He installed jellybean build 8 i believe and took it off cause the photos in the camera didn't work just the videos showed. I believe the build had a choice for the note 2 camera wich was chosen. None the less he brought it back to stock but kept it rooted.
Just talked to a friend on non rooted official jellybean release from verizon. His browser does NOT do this.

I think you're the only person that find it annoying as most don't see it as a big deal. That is mostly because a whole lot worse can happen to your phone and that isn't one of them. I have had signal issues,Wi-Fi issues,boot loops,sim card issues and even soft bricked my phone 3 times while rooting and flashing my phone. If you find your issue annoying then I can only imagine how you feel if you experience any of the problems I just mentioned. Your phone is functional as your friend did a good job rooting your phone you should checking for more serious problems with your phone.

not a fan of any non stock web browser....chrome seems sluggish and def not as smooth as stock...also it doesn't have the pinch to zoom all the way in to get to the windows you have open.
I agree he can test out other browsers to see if he encounters the same problem.

I'm really not...do a google search...it's been brought up a few times. No real answers as to why or how to stop it. And so what if i was....this is a forum for questions about the galaxy s3....correct....so what is really the problem with me asking it and trying to get my phone to operate the way i like it?
I'm sorry you have those problems...bricking 3 times...maybe you should get another hobby or is bricking phones your hobby?

Well in interest of this getting back on track have you tried to simply clear the app data for browser? Also check your phone status to make sure you ate on the official build and upper friend didn't just put another stock ROM on it to replace build 8, I'm assuming it was beans build 8

Is not just through home pages, is the perfomance in general. In the stock email client I the lag is tremendous and I like the handwriting for inputs but I had to stop using because the lag.
That's very odd, I have no lag... In fact with the 2gb of ram it pretty much flies through everything I throw at it. Handwriting is the easiest way to put in info for me and I find there's no problem.
If there is a heap of lag, have you put any apps on that might have malware or be a virus because on the PC that's the 1st indication of a virus.
If you do the hard reset and find it works better then try 1 app at a time, especially if you sideload apps not from the playstore.
If there is still a heap of lag I'd return it especially as these are not cheap little toys...
Actually mine is very fast I manage to get the stock jelly bean on it and it is super fast right now. Try doing a factory restore and don't put so much widget

What you're describing isn't typical. If it was people would be screaming bloody murder. Quite a few people have come from Teg3 tablets and have commented on an improvement in speed and fluidity and those tablets and the Note are the fastest Android tablets on the market right now.
- Did you buy the tablet new and did it perform the way you described before you loaded any of your own apps and settings on it?
- What model is it (8000, 8005, 8010, 8013) and are you using an SD card in it? If so, what kind of SD card and how is it formatted? If it's a 8000 or 8005 do you have a SIM in it and from what carrier?
- What region is it from and what's the current s/w build number? (Settings>about device)
- Have you tried restoring to the factory settings without loading any apps on it to see how it performs?
Here's a vid from a while ago showing mine doing a bunch of stuff. If yours isn't performing the same way something's wrong with it.

Are you using Exchange email account? I had the same problem till I re-installed this exch account and made syncing just for last month (not all over 10.000 emails like before).
Make sure u ain't using it while connected to wall charger or pc. I've noticed it lagging a lot in these two scenarios for some reason not known to me.
So did you ever get this resolved? I got my new sealed 32gb today and the email clients lag is horrible.also had terrible lag using browser and xda site. The video player is choppy. I have cleared the apps and even powered off and back on .I am very surprised it's this lag ridden.

It is very surprising. Mine has been lag free since day one.
All the responses to this thread have been on point. Try some of the tips, like make sure power saver mode is disabled, do a factory reset, make sure its not just one app doing that tto you, or maybe you have an email client trying to load 100,000 emails?
If you hold the home button, it brings out the ttask manager. Check ram usage and then clear the ram. See if that helps.
If none of that hhelps, try odining to stock firmware and if you still have lag after that, it is simply not a hardware issue and you should go get it replaced

For anyone having lag, what is your build number and kernel date? You can find this in Settings > About Device.
Mine is Build IMM76D.N8010XWALG4 and a Monday Jul 30 kernel date. I have no lag whatsoever, though I don't use exchange sync, even with power saver on.
What does power saving do? (To the guy who said that power saving makes it lag)

The only lag I see is when you switch between multi window which has been known since day one. It has about a one second delay when switching between windows in multi screen. Not a big deal to me but other wise its seems fine. And if your complaining about anything else you did in that video then I dont think you'll ever be happy cause it seems fine to me especially with all the widgets and apps you have on the home screen and how many processes you were running.
Well I think I have nailed it down the 2 things that makeitstart lagging.
1. Stock mail client
2. Browsing with the stock browser and viewing XDA.
also can anyone else confirm engaget.com is very choppy in scrolling?

Its everywhere.... Where do I start? there is a delay unlocking the phone once your finger swipes, opening apps is slow, pressing home button to return to home screen is delayed (after disabling the home button in svoice), pulling the notification window down randomly stutters. Most of these are random and inconsistant, but 1 that I have found is ALWAYS an issue is in the Samsung Browser. Do this to see the lag. at the top there is the window notification in the broswer that shows how many open windows there are. Press it and see how long it takes to display the other windows.
The lag is everywhere... Had I not returned my HTC One to get this I would return it in a second, but they wont accept a second return now, so im stuck with a crap phone....
Im sorry that everyone is having these issues but mine seems fine and if it is lagging then maybe im not a super user and to me it dont seem to be a problem , my only issue is the keypad I keep hitting the numbers when typing and letters when spacing . And the windows tab opens pretty quick to me bout .9 of a second and it opens.

use a different browser and see how fast it is. Thats the problem .9 seconds is lag, I guess were use to different speeds. If you are coming from a craptastic phone that had alot of lag you wont notice it as much as someone who is use to a fast phone like a Nexus 4 or HTC One. Those phones are blazing, and honestly my old Note 2 was faster than this S4.

After playing a bit with the one I do agree that it is quite a bit snappier however something about it just seemed boring. As for the lock screen I do agree and I was able to help the issue a bit by switching to the ripple effect apposed to light under lockscreen effect. Also switching to thumb keyboard greatly improved speed there. However after using it for a few days the little bit of lag either gotten better or I just notice less.
Might be just that , ive been on a htc vivid since November 2011 and it got to be a pain in the arse to use. Hopefully they will have something that will fix it soon.
No lag here, but I've said that already.

I guess if I had used it longer I might have gotten used to the slowness of it but the fact that SVoice and Google Voice search didn't work over bluetooth in my car like Siri and Google do on my iPhone made me return it.

with already having root, and the bootloader unlock already verified to be coming soon, i think you would be doing yourself wrong to get rid of your gs4. since we now know that custom roms will be on their way. and since we know that custom roms do perform better than stock roms.
Anyone who says their S 4 doesn't lag is either lying, blind, or seriously has never used a lag free phone. I don't see how its going to be fixed either since its mostly due the the extraordinary amount of bloat in this version of Touchwiz with a tone of useless "features" that are also responsible for taking up so much memory space. I have an iPhone 5 which is lag free like all iPhones ever and a Note 2 which has a minor amount of lag in a few places. The shoddy cheap plastic construction, bloat, and minimal memory space is an insult to Samsung customers. At least the buttons are better but Samsung is out of control everywhere else. Ugh. They msut really think their customers will put up with anything they deign to slop down to them.
I did notice a tad bit of lag here and there and to me the 3 main contributions to lag in any s4 are this
1- stock browser ie. Keyboard lag
2-stock launcher, I use go ex
3-att crap bloat, I've deleted not disabled it all
My s4 is f'in fast as hell with no lag after addressing those three items

Hi All,
Been having issues with Nexus 5 now for a while and don't seem to be able to resolve it, originally my partner had the Nexus 5 from new since December 2013. She complained like hell about it so eventually I got in contact with Google and got them to agree to a new replacement device (I then kept the new one and she had my S4)
At numerous points through out the day the Nexus 5 while go into "roaming mode" (H+/4G logo replaced with R at the top) and the only way to get it out of Roaming mode is to go into Settings>More>Mobile Networks>Network Operators, from here to manually scan and then select auto again.
Google Play have sent me 3 replacement devices incase of a hardware issue but all 4 phones have had this issue now, my partners S4 and S5 dont suffer with the same issue and she is on Three aswell.
The one thing I have noticed is when I manually scan for networks Three comes up twice in the list, so maybe its an issue auto switching between then two?
Google keep trying to get me to run in safe mode, do factory resets etc but nothing works, I have now sent them a response today basically saying I've had enough and want to return the item so I can go out and buy a HTC One M8 (not holding my breath)

You should try a custom ROM. As mentioned I've not had this issue for ages. I think perhaps not since I moved to SlimKat. Maybe give it a try? Root isn't activated in it by default so won't affect those 2 apps.

Installed Slimkat tonight using the following methord.

2. Install CWM
3. Install Slimkat and Gapps
Now I'm not sure if its fixed the initial issue yet only a few days of testing will confirm that but I now have two more issues.
1. Even though I never rooted the phone, SkyGo and Barclays are saying its rooted and wont let me use them
2. The DPI is awful (very small) and it wont let me change it using an app because guess wot... I need root access

Hey
I just won a Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 White 32gb last week, i've been playing around with it a bit and i've found that it is incredibly slow, slower than my ASUS Transformer TF300T. And i was expecting a monster of a machine with the specifications in the Note Pro.
There are delays in just navigating the menu, sliding down the menu thing from the top. Typing on the keyboard, i can write on word and keep writing and it freezes and then my last word pop up (sorry for bad explaining, hopefully you understand). Scrolling up and down on a website in Chrome, it can just freeze for a few secs. Opening some apps from me tapping the app to it opening can be delayed like 6-8 seconds or something. Also have slow problems when i'm using Perfect Viewer for reading comics, flipping a page can sometimes delay for seconds.
Never had any of these issues on my ASUS Transformers TF300T
Also have some issues with the pen when playing around in the Sketchbook Galaxy app, if i lift the pen away from the screen and then put it back, it doesnt identify the pen close to fast, it takes a long while.
I would be more pissed if i payed for it, still pretty bummed though even if i won it.
I will be super grateful for any help i can get
I made a video, but i cant link it here, maybe i can link it in a PM if somebody wants to help?
Hi, I have the same device and it screams, no delays at all...
What I have done from the start is install a new launcher, in my case Holo HD, to get rid of Touchwiz which supposedly consumes a lot of resources...
I suggest you give that a try...

No delays here either. All stock. Maybe something is downloading to cause that slowness. Look in upper left corner for moving arrows. If you see one moving then something is downloading and you can see what that is by swiping from the top of the screen.

First thing i tried a few days ago, thanks though.
Also tried the Holo launcher, everything slow as hell still.
Anybody with any other tips? Irritating problems ;(
Sure you're on the latest firmware? You could try running cpu-z and check if the cpu's go up to 1.9 Ghz...

I downloaded CPU-Z and took a pic, took a pic in Settings with model and firmware (i think)

That all looks fine, just like mine....
Can't think of anything else, maybe you do have a hardware issue.
As a last resort you could perform a factory reset to see if that cures the responsiveness issues...

Oh, bummer. Already tried factory reset.
You could try re-flashing it, see if that makes a difference.

I'm not experienced with tablets/phones, what does re-flashing mean? And is there a guide for it you can link or something? Thanks

This guide should be all you need. http://forums.androidcentral.com/am...ide-samsung-how-flash-stock-rom-via-odin.html
You can download the firmware files at http://www.sammobile.com/firmware and enter SM-P900 in the search box. The file you want depends on your region. If from USA, then Cellular South is the one you want.
Please ask for assistance if you have more questions.

Should all the files be deleted after this re-flashing is done? If so, then i must have done it wrong, all my apps and everything is still there and it is still slow. I followed the guide and got the "PASS" in Odin.

Here's a video showing some of the slow issues i'm talking about
EDIT:
Has anyone heard of this problem with the Galaxy Note 12.2? Slow as f*** right out of the box? So infuriating
Seems like a collection of issues. First thing I'd do is get rid of the task killer application. IMO kit kat manages memory just fine. A better way to go is to use greenify to keep less frequently used applications hibernated so that frequently used ones will be cached. When I set up my devices after rooting I'll freeze things I'll never use and then I'll watch a system monitor application for things that load in the background. Anything that loads in the background that I don't want to use frequently (and don't need to keep alive for notifications) I'll consider for greenifying.
For the perfect viewer issue, where are the files? Is that memory latency? Kind of seems like it. Agree though, usually should run better than that.
I have to admit the first thing I thought was that perhaps you have a big SD card installed with a lot of media and the media server process is running and showing things down.
IMO in general out of the box these things are laggy but with some tweaks things improve a lot. The lag is subjective, some aren't bothered by it but for those of us who are it's a big nuisance.

The issues im having were present right out of the box, i installed the task killer to see if that would help, i dont have the task killer application anymore after i reset it again - still the same problems.
Is Android 4.4.2 the latest version available for Galaxy Note Pro 12.2?
Only other thing that could be the problem is hardware i suppose, but what kind of problem? that would make the device soooo slow.
You still need to do a factory reset after you reflash the stock rom with Odin.

I believe i did that, i'm gonna try later tonight to do the reflashing again and a factory reset immediatly after.
If your downloaded aps are still present after the factory reset, then it did not work
Got the phone yesterday, and playing with it today, I'm noticing some issues with the phone that I hope can be corrected, because I'm kind of regretting the purchase.
First off, auto brightness turns itself off constantly. Every few minutes. Browsing facebook, twitter, etc and going nowhere near the controls, all of a sudden my screen with double the brightness for no reason, and when I check, auto brightness is unchecked in the pulldown menu. VERY annoying.
Opening links in Hangouts or Google Messenger to Chrome occasionally lags the phone out completely, or the click registers and does nothing.
I'm hoping that this is either a defective phone I can have replaced, or something fixed with a quick software update, but it's aggravating to deal with. Jumping from the Nexus 5 to a non-AOSP phone has me hesitate enough, and this isn't helping.
Edit: Just remembered, I turned off Samsung's keyboard and I'm using Google's official keyboard, and the Samsung keyboard keeps enabling itself! It's not actually switching to the Samsung keyboard, but I'm literally sliding the switch to "off", and it's sliding back to the on position on it's own accord.
Can confirm, auto brightness turns off automatically.

Do a hard reset. Chances are that all of the issues will be fixed.
Touch wiz lag is awful after installing all of my apps. I'm also wondering why I have to swipe to unlock even when it's set for just fingerprint.
Couldn't say anything about Touchwiz, as I'm using Nova Launcher. Only get lag when I'm clicking links, as mentioned. Going to do a factory reset and see what happens. I REALLY hate doing this without Titanium Backup, and Helium was buggy as all hell. For the initial setup, I ended up manually installing all the apps I had on my Nexus 5, which was a pain in my god damned ass.
anyone rooted yet? just curiuos if anyone has tried?

I'm not rooting until they either confirm tripping knox won't affect Samsung Pay, or there's a way to root without tripping it at all.
So I just did a hard reset, and of COURSE there's no way to keep your storage intact when you reset (**** you Samsung), the device switcher won't work with the Nexus 5 (Again, **** you Samsung), and I had to redownload every app by hand. As much as we ALL hate Apple, iTunes backup & restore is SORELY needed on Android.

I changed my screen from Adaptive to basic, after I did a hard reset. Only been an hour but it hasn't toggled itself yet.

I did a factory reset as well but left adaptive on, so far so good.

are you saying the phone lags??? wtf...again???
Not experiencing any of this. My screen is set to basic though. No lag, using Chrome but not using messenger or hang outs. No keyboard issue either.

I did receive a charger that didn't work out of the box though and had to get credited some money so that I could buy a oem fast charging charger
Are you saying that the phone doesnt lag at all even after installing/restoring 90 apps??

I'm not seeing much lag if at all, but I WAS seeing the issue with the Auto-Brightness, until I did a hard reset.
Battery issues are pretty bad, but it seems to just need a software update, or an updated radio. The Cell Standby drain is strong with this phone.
Of the lag I did see, my phone actually froze up, gave a snowy image on half the screen, then crashed. Only happened once, so I'm not worried (yet).
One thing that's annoying the hell out of my though: Swiping the notification shade down takes a few tries, and sometimes clicks dont register. I never experienced this before on other phones, but I've noticed it happens more when I hit things with the sides of my thumb vs touching it flat. very odd.

You really need to calm down and stop acting like the sky is falling. The first batch is ALWAYS buggy, and that's exactly what this is, and what this thread is about. Software bugs.

And to add to that, the phone hasn't even been OFICIALLY released yet. It releases in 9 days. There are obviously glitches before releases...

EXACTLY! I especially love the "T-Mobile is so awesome, look how fast they're releasing updates for the S6! No other carrier has yet!"
Uhhhh... Which other carriers have the phones in people's hands at this point in time? Oh yeah, right.

its not about getting calm, its not the first time a samsung flagship lags when they are released, we always say they will release an update to sooth everything up, but it never happens...do not try to convince your self that the phone is perfect...you have to accept facts, believe me i really, really hope they fix these bugs and lags....because as i said i am planning to get a new phone in two weeks and the S6 is the only option...

Stop making assumptions. The phone isn't even released yet in most parts of the world.

ONE person mentioned lag. ONE. Most people in that thread said they didn't see lag. but there you go saying "OH NO, Samsung has done it again!"
Again, it's not even released yet, the phone has bugs. RELAX and let this work itself out.
