Hi guys,
Not sure it was there when I got my 32Gb Note 10.1 or not. I updated it to the latest software version early on. I don't have that many apps installed on it and only a couple of widgets on the desktop. The scroll stutters at times when I start scrolling: it starts off fine, then stutters for a short time, almost like a single hick up, and then continues just fine. It's doesn't happen 100% of the time but is more consistent as of late. I observed it going from screen to screen and in the main browsers scrolling through the page. I restarted the tab, closed running apps/services, which made no difference.
Has anyone noticed anything similar to that? Does that sound like a normal behavior? Have had a few Android phones before but this is my 1st Android tab so not sure what level of performance I should expect. Thanks!
Have not experienced any stuttering. The only time I have noticed the SGN10.1 stuttering is when drawing shapes in s.note. then it can get a little bogged down.

Try going to settings, developer, and under window and transition animations. Try setting to.5 or zero.
That should fix it.
I was using HD Widgets and had a 8x1 clock/weather widget on my first home page. I was playing with the stock clock/weather widget and by removing the HD Widget's clock the stuttering improved a lot. I'm still using it for some toggles and that seems fine. If anyone is using HD Widgets you can remove the widgets you're not actively using and that seems to speed things up too.
i have a 3 day old 16gb wifi gnote. my experience with stuttering has been unmistakable in 2 places: general system animations (moving between screens or opening settings for example) and a laggy stock browser.
when i swipe home screens, i get similar stutters as the OP. so i went ahead and cleaned up all the stock (bloatware) widgets... hardly a solution but i hope it isnt a problem when i do install useful widgets soon.. someone suggested reducing animations to 0.5x or 0. well thats really sad for a higher end tablet i think. similar stuttering scrolls in gmail and play store.
with the browser, i usually get stutters when scrolling a fairly heavy page. the most annoying thing is that if there are many images on a page, the browser blanks them out when scrolling and then redraws them at the end of scrolling! so i simply installed chrome instead... and thats working better
i also tried this game called wind up knight just to see some 3d action... there too the stutter was quite obvious.
im not blown away by the quad core awesomeness out-of-the-box i must say. i think my 2 year old HTC HD2 (1ghz single core) is generally faster at running ics. i hope custom roms are able to better harness the hardware...
forgot to mention that i am running the old UEALGB rom

So what exactly does this do?
I am on my second g note. Got rid of the 16 GBP for the 32. The only thing I have done on both was got rid of the widgets it came in stalled with and adj the settings and it flies like butter.
Someone else mentioned the power saver mode. Check that it is not on.

No power savings mode. I suspect some of you just not noticing it. I do have an eye for those kind of things though.
i didnt have my power saving mode on... the problem became extremely irritating with that feature on...
however i did restart my tablet and that did solve almost all my worries! i too now have a "buttery smooth" tablet before restart, my ram usage was around 1.4gb and i suspect around 70+ active apps in memory. after restart, my ram usage was 0.4gb and all the lags and stutters went away! so one possible solution could be for you to go to task manager and clean out active apps from memory. then check if there is any stutter in general usage. hope this helps!
ps: i did clean out all my home screen bloat widgets. so i really cant say how smoothly they will scroll after cleaning out the ram.

I think anyone who comes to this site for info knows what lag is and looks like.:cyclops:
Not denying that there are some defective units, as with any thing to buy there will be some.
We are just trying to offer solutions.

Sorry, didn't mean to imply anything. I do appreciate all the help and feedback from all xda members.
I was just basically reflecting on my nature and the fact that I do tend to concentrate on details sometimes. So, my point was that there may or may not be lag there and perhaps I'm just "seeing" things. I have a good eye for these things in general, so assuming lag or more like stutter is there, the next question is whether that's something particular to my tab or others are seeing it too. If later is the case than it could be software and/or hardware issue. I thought the specs this thing packing it should have no problems scrolling silky smooth. Don't wanna jump to any conclusions just yet though...
Tried reducing animation scale but it made little difference. Wondering, just for comparison, has anyone seen Note 10.1 scrolling videos posted out there?
Thanks!
I agree it does stutter slightly. If you are reading an article and are scrolling down as you read, its not smooth. Hopefully they will fix it.

Thanks for sharing! Anybody else ran into this as well?
Actually, now that you mention it...
When i first received the tablet, i noticed the lag swiping from screen to screen. I shut it off after about 15 minutes, to charge the battery faster when the unit is off. After rebooting, i noticed it seemed to go much faster....
Also, after installing the update (which may or may not be available anymore) my overall smoothness went up about 100%, something i noticed immediately.
Doesn't stutter for me anymore, unless i have power saver mode on and really pushing it. Asphalt 7 (looks somewhat hi-tech 3d graphics, maybe not) runs exceptionally well, so i am not sure i'm getting the lag anymore. Maybe this is what some of the reviewers saw at first, while doing their first 15 minute review?
I can't complain anymore because it seems to be fine on mine, with the exception of this XDA app

Once the jelly bean update finally comes around I am sure it will get smoother.

Trying to get a sense if this is a widespread issue with almost every GNote or with just a small number of tabs. If first is the case then it can probably/likely be addressed via some software update. But if it's a later case then exchange is in order. I have no way of reliably validating it so I'll probably gonna go for an exchange early next week.
Anyone has some Samsung feedback linky handy, other than FB, by any chance? Thanks.
Not to hijack my one thread... but I have a new problem develop last night: some parts of the screen, left side in particular, in the standard browser weren't responding to touch/clicks. Tried clearing out all apps, restarting the browser, etc. Didn't help much. Seems to be better. Not sure what's going on.
hey guys, for those who used the S6 for a week or more, is there any issues? i know some said heat issues and LED...but those are small bugs that can be fixed with a small update...what about lag, stutter?? because you cant judge the performance after a day of use....thats why i want an answer from users that used the device for a week...THANKS

everything is perfect with my 64gb T-mobile model except for this battery bug which i am assuming will be fixed when the next update will come out which should be soon i am guessing. nothing wrong with the hardware or software (lag, stutter, app crashing, restarting). The battery bug i hear can be fixed by turning off VoLTE and i think d/c the wifi.
it really is a solid solid phone

Depends on what you're used to. If you're coming from a phone that lags badly, the S6 will be an improvement. If you're coming from a very smooth phone like a Nexus 6, Z3, M8/M9, Moto X, it won't be as smooth. For example, a few days ago I was watching a Youtube video, I pressed the Home button, the home screen showed up but the icons/clock widget took a couple of seconds to show up. This hasn't happened again though.

That's the stupid Lollipop memory leak... Blame Google for that.

Tested the S6 Edge for over 1 week, on that one there is a specific issue with the touch keyboard sometimes being flaky for the '1' and 'a' keys to the side of the screen. Somehow to do with the Edge screen I think. No biggie. Other than that I did not experience any issue like heat nor LED. I did get a weird LTE/CDMA issue with my local SIM provider, but for now that is not an S6 issue imho. It does get fingerprint-dirty quickly, and the first minute scratch on the front screen is already there. Nothing serious for now.
FYI - I posted my detailed review in Dutch at Tweakers.net (same username).

thanks for the feedback...hope it stays like this...its a shame that CM roms will have many issues because there is only EXYNOS variant...
Having massive issues with mine, trying to get an exchange going. Massive lag, FCs, memory leak... I can't have Google Nav and Pandora going at the same time, Pandora just shuts down. Half the time I get lag as I try to dial out, and half of THOSE times, it just crashes the dialer.
Not to mention the annoying crap, like the "456" SMS from T-Mobile shows up under my girlfriend's name, for some reason.
T-Mobile was supposed to have a replacement out to me on 4/8, but UPS lost it. Lovely.

some guys reported some issues, some lags, FC but your phone seems a bit too much....its better to replace it with a new one...
I've had mine for over a week now, on T-mobile. Coming from a Nexus 5 that was plagued by the 5.0 memory leak for several months (finally got fixed for the most part in 5.1), I can definitely say this phone is suffering from the same symptoms. After a few days the phone will start to get laggy and some apps will close (only one that has closed so far has been Chrome -in my experience from the N5 and on this S6, the more you use the Chrome browser, the faster it happens). I check the memory stats and every time system is taking up 1.2-1.3 GB. Same problem as on the N5.
Hope they get it updated to 5.1 a lot sooner than Google updated the N5....I don't want to go through 6 months of this crap again. I'm hoping the huge install base will push them to release a 5.1 update quickly.
Mine showed up from T-Mobile on 4/2, so I'm nearly two weeks in at this point. So far, the only real disappointment has the battery life. I wouldn't call it bad at 18-20 hours, but I've had better. Wireless and quick charging has made it almost so easy to top it off, however, that I've not yet had to worry about it. So it may be a trade off, or it may be (as some suspect) a software issue that will be corrected either through an OTA or when roms start rolling in.
Hi, So finally Android 5.1.1 came out and it came as a surprise. I didn't expect Sprint to release it so soon even though it need to happen right away. What is everyones first impressions? Anyone notice a big performance and stablity increase?
PRIOR to the update:
-I've been having an immense amount of Lag and my s6 edge kept heating up.... VERY Annoying... I also had launcher redraws where when you click the home button it has to reload the whole launcher again. (All PRIOR to the update).
AFTER the 5.1.1 Update:
-So far it my device is running very smooth and cool... Its only been a few hours so I hope it stays that way. I don't have any launcher redraws so far and no real noticeable lag. No idea if memory bug has been fixed, anyone know? Most say it isn't. My main question to everyone is wether the update has made their device more smooth and stable and has fixed the performance issues or not. I've only been updated a few hours so I wanted to know if my device will stay the same like this rather than revert to its laggyness like it does every time after being smooth from a factory reset.
Benchmark
I installed it yesterday, had a worse battery life than what I've gotten used to..
My phones back to heating up... Ive also setup to send in my edge ti samsung for repair... it lags, gets hot and has a black dot on the camera lense... and I have to wait 11 days to get the phone back...if I want a phone...i have to rent one from sprint for 50 bucks....this beyond rediculous
i'm curious if our phones heat up cause of the ****ty LTE network signal and the phone constantly looking to hold a connection.

This is the correct answer to the question, The only times my phone gets remotely even warm is when charging and when in a sketchy signal area
Has anyone experienced ghost touches and gestures? I know the oneplus launcher has a sensitive edge so if your palm was touching the edge it would bring up the notification bar, had to disable that feature, but has anyone else experienced random ghost touches or is it just me and I should return the device?
I'm experiencing it also, and I'm using Nova so I think it's the phone a d not the launcher.

I've noticed it randomly when the phone is not even being touched, I'm not sure if it has something to do with gestures, I've see reviews on TMobile that someone had the same issue that was much worse than I described and returned the phone.
I have to have a case on our I got the screen. Artifact of the curved glass
Yeah I've noticed on some cases it can cause issues, but this is something a firmware update can fix.
I've had this issue also and it seems to be app dependent. Cpu-z triggers it. Check this out: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-8-O6UchZGLGUA95yJLjQSaqKhbYjljo/view?usp=drivesdk
Using Nova Pro and no never had this issue yet.
Yeah I've had random apps trigger it but then it won't do it at all, not sure how I can even replicate it.
Happens to me too. Interesting sidenote: Switching to 60hz fixes the problem for me.
Yep. Also seeing this issue. Have had it happen twice now, once yesterday and once today. No idea how to replicate. Seems random.
You think it's a hardware issue? Or software?
No such issue, maybe faulty phone. I'd return immediately
haven't had this issue either.
Could you try the CPU-Z app with 90hz enabled? Just keeping this app open makes my 1+ go crazy.
Try taking off the screen protector
I too am having the issue. At first I thought it was the screen protector as well, but taking it off didn't fix anything and I immediately regretted it. The issue is pretty sporadic and going to 60hz does help. I mostly noticed the issue inside the Google Messages app (my primary texting app). And also the CPU-Z trick worked too, my screen went ape sh*t. I'm gonna give OP a week to fix this through software or I'm gonna have to do an exchange.
No issues here. Using Google messaging app n Nova pro.
I've got this issue on mine as well. Started an RMA. If it's not fixed within 2 weeks, I'm sending it back.

I actually had an issue today where I was watching YouTube and my phone started freaking out like I keep touching the screen, something is definitely wrong, but I don't want to go thru T-Mobile to replace it.

Can confirm switching to 60Hz fixes it.
If you enable "Show taps" and "Pointer location" in Developer options it's quite easy to see when it happens. No idea what triggers it, but CPU-Z is definitely the worst one.
Hello,
I have the Samsung (unlocked) version of the note 10 plus and I've had it since release. But this morning the phone seems to flicker slightly it's not crazy but seems like the dark background was getting washed out. Not an intense flicker. Never had this before. I use Nova launcher it's always been reliable. However, I am using Android 10 (beta). I just don't want my screen to go bad since I plan on keeping this phone for awhile or at least getting repairs under warranty. Anyone else have this issue?
