With Black Friday, I plan to buy the note 10.1. One problem is that Ive read there are some performance issues such as stuttering, at least according to reviews.
Obviously with custom roms, Im sure its a lot better and so I would like to confirm this.
With custom roms, are there any issues still left with the note 10.1, or can it even be on par with the nexus 10.
Look around here, and see how many people are complaining about stutering... I'm mostly on power saving and I have no issues. I've tried custom jb and I find stock ics to be much fluent. If you want full s pen functionality you have to stick with stock.

Muh? What S-pen functionality is missing in custom JB? Everything seems to be working fine for me.
As for the review comments of stuttering - that seems to have to do with the fact that most big review sites review pre-release models (in order to get their reviews out before the product hits the market). More often than not, there are slowdowns that are fixed in the final version of the firmware, that don't always make it out before the reviewers get their hands on the product.

I prefer stock. The reviewers are paid by apple I think. Joking, but Jesus... okay, so they're right about one thing: it may be a niche device. Unless you're an artist or a profuse note taker...or like presentation/doodle/brainstorming presentations.... you may do better with a nexus 10. Higher res, direct Google updates, etc.
I love the note. I draw alot on it. In fact, I've been drawing more on this in the past 6 weeks than I have in a sketchpad in the past 6 months.
I'm glad the thing has a plastic back. It'd be too heavy with a metal one, and really there are wireless interference issues with metal casings...iPad, transformer, original galaxy tab...
Just get a screen protector...even though the glass is gg2, there's an extremely sensitive oleophobic coating on it that scratches way too easily. Also, a skin or a case would be recommended, though steer clear of cases with magnets, as it will mess with the Wacom digitizer, which relies on magnets in the stylus to registermposition and pressure sensitivity.

I have alwaysbeen somewhat confounded by the stuttering comments. Have never seen this to be an issue. Regardless if the tablet ever behins to lag a bit just clear the memory and you should be fine. Sometimes the memory can get a bit loaded up after a lot of multitasking.

There are no slutters on the stock rom and its pretty good there have been lots of discussion on the same topic if you still feel there are remove the samsung useless widgets from the screen
First thing I did was get rid of all the widgets on the homescreen, I didn't even bother doing anything else before I did that.
There is no stutter, at all, anywhere, in ICS itself. In Multi-view, there is a lag when switching between apps left to right but I rarely use this feature. The only thing that's not smooth, in my opinion, is scrolling on webpages. If I flick, there's one instance of lag, and then the rest of the "momentum scrolling" completes without stutter / lag.
Have the German JB installed and have no stutter at all...
Lets be honest here, there would have to be MAJOR problems with the os for a 2gb ram quadcore device to stutter when going from 1 screen to the next....
I am a bit skeptical of Samsung as they come out with phones too frequent which could mean that their hardware and software are really not meant to last two years of the contract.
So has anyone had any regrets with this phone yet? I was also looking at M9 as well but the edge looks alot sleeker.
None at all! The only problem is it's so Good I don't need to root! Haha
No regrets here. Came from the M8, which was a great phone, but this phone still blows me away. Best device that I've ever owned!
Had an issue with battery not lasting on stock, but since I flashed Sac's rom, battery has been great.
Yea that was another thing I read that with lollipop that the battery doesnt last long. So it is fixed with a custom rom?
I do have huge regrets, I came from my N5 and this phone has been nothing but slow, laggy, and full of bugs. I am returning it and going back to my N5 which is faster, smoother and snappier than this Flagship device. I was really excited before i bought it, i honestly believed all the specs and hardware were going to give me the best experience available. This whole memory issue is driving me nuts, i'm constatly running between 88-90%+ RAM Usage. I can't open applications or hit home button without getting desktop redraws, or looooong processing time, unlocking the phone takes forever, hitting the recent app takes forever, it overheats when charging, it overheats when using GPS, it overheats when I look at it haha.
Anyways, i'm going back to the N5, but not sure what else to upgrade to, any ideas?
No regrets here, runs great on rooted sac23 ROM. I love it. As for the lag that some are experiencing, that's supposed to be fixed in the next update 5.1.1
I regret getting the phone through Sprint.
The developers seem to be completely ignoring the 920P varient. Except for Sac23 and Ktoonsez, bless them.

Sprint has always been the black sheep of the developer world. Takes forever to get any kind of OTAs so we're always behind the other carriers.
I have the edge and the m9. Screen and camera are the best out. Hate touchwiz. The phone definitely lags at times but I still think it's a solid phone.
M9 has better speakers and software plus soff.
No regrets here but I might if the rumors are true and Samsung releases the S7 this year.
I also have a Nexus 5 & a Note 4 (910C) and my S6E is my favorite.

Hello everybody!
I'm currently thinking about getting the new Galaxy S7 edge. The problem is, Samsung devices are not that famous for becoming faster over time, actually the opposite seems to be the case (especially after major OS releases, in this case Marshmallow).
On the other hand the S6 was one of the first phones to be equipped with fast UFS storage, so maybe this situation has changed.
Therefore I wanted to ask you guys: if you had to compare the performance of your S6 (edge) between then (when you got the phone fresh out of the box) and now, how has your experience changed?
Do apps take an extra second or two to open etc?
I'm aware that over time likely every phone is slowing down but I wonder if there are noticeable changes that you welcome (in case of improvement) or wish to not be there (in case of worsening).
Thanks for your participation in advance!
My answer was that it's faster now... but i have disabled a lot of things and it's cause of my efforts, not cause of samsung's.
I don't use battery/application optimization. it takes all the wrong decisions. kills all the apps it shouldn't do and no, its not my job to teach it what it should (not) do. i would gladly kill the programmer of that "feature", im that mad with that.
No difference for me! In fact no difference for most phones I've used
I've made the switch from the Nexus 6p to the Galaxy S7 Edge. I like most things about the phone, but I am trying to decide if I should go back to the Nexus 6p. Two issues so far:
1. Playing Hearthstone. Does anyone else find that the game will force close? I have had difficulties getting the game to work for extended periods of time on other devices, but I wanted to gauge if others had success playing Hearthstone or other intensive games on the Edge. One of the reasons for my switch from the 6p to Edge was the hope that the SD 820 would be better for gaming than the SD 810.
2. Anyone else have issues with the touch screen on the Edge? I find that it is a constant struggle to avoid false touches... others have solutions for this? I upgraded the touch screen firmware for the Edge based on another XDA thread, but is there anything else that can be done to limit these random touches?
Thanks!
Hearthstone don't work for me either. S7 edge SD820

I have the regular S7 and it just force closed me four turns in a row and cost me the ranked match I had in the bag. Bull****. I posted in the blizzard forums also. Definitely think this is an issue on their end with android 6.0.1. Happens at least once or twice daily but never four turns in a row. That's what prompted me doing a search for the issue and discovering this thread.
I'm looking to buy the s8+ or the XZP n a few days.
Just to be clear, I'm not a Sony fanboy or a Samsung hater in any way.
As a Galaxy user since 2012, I know Touchwiz and all of its lag.
I'm disappointed in the performance in day to day use and especially after a few months of owning the device.
I used the devices stock for the first year because of warranty, but even with wiping every 2 months, rooting, disabling and uninstalling a lot of system apps, tinkering with clock speeds and installing custom kernels, the device would still lag in light day to day tasks.
I've used more Galaxy devices and although Samsung improved Touchwiz every time, i have a feeling that many phones are faster, more fluid and less laggy than Samsung devices.
As I'm looking for a new device (currently using S6 Edge+), I'm asking all the kind and polite people here who use their phone A LOT to share their honest views on using the device daily.
If anyone has had any experience with the XZP versus the S8+, that would be very helpful as well.
It's just not easy to spend ~$1050 (in my country) for a phone that will lag as the older devices, while the XZP is a cheaper and IMHO faster alternative.
Gs6+ was just a mess , after S7 edge Samsung phones aren't lagging anymore. I'm using exynos version of gs8+ and it's super smooth. Not a fan of Sony phones anymore so can't tell you about that

Had mine since day one, snapdragon variant. The only lag I've noticed is when I installed one of the Bye Bixby apps, other than that I'm using TW and smooth as butter - IMHO. I have not had a single reboot on it and and I'm using quite a few hacks, battery life is the best I've ever had - especially for a stock kernel. I planned on using my Nexus 6, rooted with Pure Nexus once in awhile but haven't got it out except to update the rom. The only thing I was worried about was the tall, skinny screen but I love it now.
If anyone else wants to share their opinion, you're most welcome to do so.
Hi, at first I have experienced some occasional lags (mostly when swiping for app drawer), usually when i wanted to enter the app drawer after some inactivity time - after that first "laggy enter", the other times i have swiped it, it was good. However, after around one month (and some updates) it became better. I think every update helped with that. I have the phone from preorder (20th april), so its possible that the software was not excellent from the first day.
The important thing is, now its absolutely butter smooth, even while having many apps and almost full memory. I believe that if you buy the phone today and immediately do all the updates, it will be totally smooth without any lag. With new phone i copy my sms (7000+ messages) and while all previous phones were lagging while scrolling through those messages, S8+ has no issue here.
I haven't seen any lag in 3 months it runs buttery smooth and I'm loving and ha s8 plus has crazy battery life u gonna love it
