Hey guys. A couple of minutes ago something strange happened to my phone. I just don't understand what's going on with it. I'm so disappointed. I mean... this phone costed me some money and experiencing such a thing makes me regret so much I bought my Nexus 5. It is indeed the best phone I've ever had but if this is what it takes to have a phone for such a small period of time and already have so many problems with it then... I think it's just a waste of money.
I don't know what's going on with it - It just overheated horribly while scrolling down on Facebook. Never happened this before. I was just scrolling like normal and using FB like normal and all of a sudden my phone becomes so hot - quickly I opened System Monitor and CPU temp was at 60-67ºC.
Also if I go to the Battery Tab in System Monitor the graph is pretty strange in my opinion, I mean the battery´s temperature is going up and down all over again it's like the graph of a heartbeat record or something.
Don't get me wrong, the Nexus 5 is the best phone but if this is really what it takes to own a phone for straight two months.... I mean, really?

I don't think that's the problem... as I said I never had this issue using Facebook and any other app (except Autorun Manager)

Though it sounds like a app causing you problems there l would recommend trying a custom rom and kernel l have always found the stock ROM to run a little warm. But maybe before doing that have a look at trickster in the play store you change many more things to help keep things cooler.
The stock kernels the culprit I'd say. It's set in a narrow freq towards the top end causing it to run hot. Use Elemental X.

Perhaps it's those monitoring apps that you have installed. Just reboot the phone, should be fine.

It was indeed because of these apps. Uninstalling them seems to have solved the issue. Thank you for pointing it out! I guess I was a lil bit scared at first.

Does anybody have any random crashing or lag?
My second screen and UI crashed upon uninstall of a game.
My phone was bought on 1/29/17.

Maybe those games left some junk behind when you unis taller them. Have you tried CCleaner?
or maybe the uninstall took some stuff with it. If that is the case you may need to do a factory reset or reinstall. The kdz file and dll are available.

I have done two factory resets with no luck.
Any other ideas?
Come to find out I have a phone made for demo in the store but never used.
Could that be an issue?

I've had the phone for about 3 months and yes I started to notice lag and the phone freezing.
I expect it to lag a bit after a year but this is absurd.
I've noticed some other software bugs as well.

I may have stumbled a way to do it.
First time I did it was a about several days ago.
I recreated the process last night and I just for the 2nd time got out of soft brick and created a clean device I believe as opposed to dirty? Possibly if anyone would like to try out the process
Settings/Developer Options/Tick on "Force GPU Rendering" this should make this beast smoother/snappier" If root available try L Speed/Entropy/fstrim apps found on Play Store! LG V20 & LG G5 are snappy beasts, well optimised with Snapdragon 820 and is better than Samsung.

If nothing else works, take a look at this thread where I posted links to where you can get the 10j kdz file and the dll file and how to use lgup to restore your phone.

I don't think it impacts battery life a lot, why don't u do some research if it really impacts battery life a lot. For me i'd love to root and install those apps and enjoy the lag free experience.... sadly my LG G4 bootloader is still locked and can't root it.

I have it in my developer options... T-Mobile.
Isn't in developer options on my v10 though...
Must be a new thing in Nougat then.
Ended up having AT&T send me another LG V20.
Haven't had any issues yet other than the occasionally slow down when updating apps and trying to do something else.
Kill Facebook Messengers chat heads if you have it switched on.
Then go into phone Settings - Apps - Messenger and disable "Draw over other apps".
See if that helps.
It seems to have worked for the lag issues on my v20.

Actually I have a v20 and it last at least twice as long as all of my friends iphones
Not sure if this would be the right thread but I'm just looking for a bit of advice since LG and T-Mobile aren't gonna help. Seems my V20 is one of many lemons and overheats like crazy. The option to disable hardware overlays helped but when an app crashes the phone reboots and at this point I'm over it. I just wanna know if i can just buy another single slot motherboard and swap it with the one already in the phone.
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.

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.
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.
First thing i do is install NOVA launcher. So never noticed an issue.

This happenes throughout the device, regardless of the launcher used. Can you please try replicating the steps as shown in the video?
I did didn't notice any problem. But reading the previous post said only occurred in stock launcher which i uninstalled
I've lowered my animations to 0.25 with joneplus tool so that may make a difference as well

Okay, that's weird. Maybe I'm just too sensitive but scrolling feels off to me because of this.
Also, are you using the preinstalled screen protector?
Nope, didn't come with one. Got phone from t-mobile this time. Using one from Amazon forget which brand

Thanks for all the info so far! Just one more thing, could you please test it again, but keep your finger still for at least a second before flicking.
I am really sorry to bother you with this, but I am going to replace the phone, if yours turns out to be ok. I'm just paranoid that you might have missed it because it's so subtle.
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

Alright, something is wrong with mine then... Or maybe the T-mobile version of the phone doesn't have this bug, since it uses a slightly different software.
Yeah could be. Maybe t-mobile turned down the touch rejection.
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

Thanks for reply. I mean they are from APK mirror but not sure if signed. I'm not rooted and have no plans to.
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.

This problem occurs more than you might think. I am extremely annoyed at paying dearly for a smartphone full of annoying problems. I get even more annoyed because Samsung doesn't release software updates to fix this. The last update for my version was released in Feb.
