Scrolling Problems? - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just ordered an G920i which I will be getting tomorrow. Is it like the Galaxy S5 with lollipop when it comes to the scrolling? I absolutely hate it its hard to explain but example: Scrolling up and down through settings or a website, its not lag its when you scroll really fast it has a jumpy affect or effect where it will scroll the opposite direction. I've seen this on Several Galaxy S5's and the Note 4 when I help someone with there phone. Its annoying. It does not happen on other phones running lollipop except the Xperia Z2 I had.
Anyone know what I'm talking about?

I notice it everywhere on every Lollipop Samsung ive had in my hands. Not sure on the S6 though. I'd hope not that'll certainly be a deal breaker.

Running my g920i now, with Chrome.
Cannot see any lag. Not sure what you are talking about.

[Q] Browser Lag, anyone?

Is anyone else getting lag & stuttering while browsing the web? For instance, goto TMobile website and click on a phone to get info, scrolling up/down is choppy? I'm curious if my edge is defective. Can anyone please confirm, thanks in advance.

When the page loads completely ,it's fine for me . I'm using Chrome/the Exynos Note Edge variant.
Cheers~
same
Hey i noticed the same thing.like its even hard to type at times. Love the phone. I wil probably send it back for a new one becausei love the concept. Everything is great but the glitchiness is frustrating. .
The note edge scored a blistering 353 in Sunspider JavaScript Test. Try using a different browser.
Puffin Browser has given me the best browser experience.
The stock browser works great on mine.

[Q] Update to 5.0.1 has ruined my camera!

Since the update my cameras shoot button has moved from the edge screen (one of my favourite features).
Can this be changed in settings or does anyone know where I can get the original camera apk?
Thanks in advance, David
Does the update fix the blurry start up?

You need to go back to Kitkat if you want that feature....
That does suck. :crying:That was the whole point of having the edge so you can move everything off the screen. Hopefully it is a setting somewhere or a change that can be made.

Hasn't been found yet and I know that it was a feature that was wanted by a lot of people.
I welcome the change.. Was not very natural feeling on the edge when taking landscape photos. But having the option to change between the two choices would please more people.
am curious.. did the same happen to everyone who updated their edge to the 5.0.1 version?

Yes. It is part of the lollipop update change. No way around it as of right now that i know of. I hope someone comes up with something because i really liked it on the edge

That sucks. Thanks. I will stick with my 4.4.4 till a change is made.

It made my note edge a note 4 with a smaller battery. This is what Samsung gives people that spend another $100 for their test product.

Lag while in camera

Hey guys, I currently have an S6 and want to make the switch to the Z5 but was wondering about the lag while in camera.
I was at the store today and noticed when you're using the camera it lags moving it around. Do you guys experience this or was the store demo just not updated?
Any additional thoughts from anyone who has switched from the S6 to Z5?
I just tried right now, definitely no lag here

I have no lag. Do you mean the live demo? Viewfinder thing?
I have terrible lags all the time. Hoping marshmallow will fix it... Viewing Internet also lags but camera is just making me mad...
No lag here.
Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk
Yeah the camera lags or skips, more so in low light. Just the interface though and pics come out fine, albeit they take a bit to save sometimes.
If you're talking about framerate, yeah occasionally it seems like the framerate in Superior Auto mode is a bit low and choppy.
What version of the camera apk are you experiencing lag with, v2?
Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk
I have version 1.0. Any way to update?

Yes, xevious was on the ball. I was meaning to say framerate. It seemed to drop when in camera just moving the phone around.
Is this and image preview lag the same?
Such a long stretch from Z1 which had a 60fps preview.
Anyone else noticed considerable shutter lag? It always pauses and captures what happens a split second after the screen pauses....

It s Software Issue but it can be in application layer or maybe lower level.
When Camera Detect the light it needs process to show Preview
this can be lag in that process.
try another Firmware
I mean try to Flash stock firmware of another Region.

Keyboard lag input?

Am I the only one that is experiencing very noticeable lag while typing on the keyboard? Tried even with Swiftkey and google keyboard, the lag persist.
The phone is brand new and I have an empty sd card inside, but even without it lag.. Even the vibration feedback lag.
UP
Mine has been fine and I haven't heard of anyone else having this issue.
Maybe a faulty unit?
I read an article that it's because the phones nowdays have cpu scaling so they aren't eating up all the battery. When you're not using your phone, the cpu kinda hibernates, but if you start typing, it speeds up, then slows down when you pause, then speeds up again. And it takes a tiny bit for it to fully speed up, so the lag comes from the cpu scaling.

I don't think this is the cause, I have lag input always, even if I write for 10 minutes ..
No lag at all on my exynos unit, but I use the Google Keyboard
I'm gonna post a video to let you better understand my issue..
Here's a an issue with touchscreen senstivity:

I haven't had any issue with keyboard lag on my s7. I am using SwiftKey. The stock keyboard is a joke. I hated it with the s6 and automatically switched when I powered on my s7.

The stock keyboard lags pretty bad when you type fast on my phone. Turning off the keyboard click sounds fixes it

As I already said, I have the same problems with the swiftkey, so it isn't a problem of the stock keyboard.. I've tried the S7 edge of my friend and it doesn't have this problem..
I have the same problem with Swiftkey on my galaxy s7 edge. Have compared it to my Xperia Z2 and it definitely lags
Edit: Also lags on Google keyboard and stock.
The swipe trail on Google Keyboard is laggy too. This sucks.
Samsung fix it!!

I was having a lag issue with my keyboard too not long after I got my S7. Not sure what caused it, but doing a factory reset fixed it. Have you tried that?
I haven't tried that, would rather avoid a factory reset. Google keyboard seems much better after I turned off swipe trail.

Did you not experience lag with Swiftkey? Mine is lagging extremely bad on my S7... i read this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/tip-fix-constant-swiftkey-reloading-lag-t3210027 and it suggests to disable SPCM in build.prop... but it requires root...

That's strange... could it due to different version? I have the SM-G930FD version...
Swiftkey worked fine on my S6Edge+... not sure why it's lagging so bad on my S7... :crying:

S8+ being laggy?

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?
Same problem here !

So doing a factory reset didn't help? I've tried wiping cache in recovery several times and it doesn't seem to help much.
I'm just waiting for the OnePlus 5 . This lag isn't horrible but unacceptable at this point.
Tw has always been laggy sluggish.

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.

Galaxy S8+ Black
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...

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.
