S8+ being laggy? - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

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...
Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

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.

Strange overheating problem

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?

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.

[Q] Exteme lg flex 2 lag

I have had My sprint lg g flex 2 , for 3 days now....and I've been using it non stop. I was expecting a smooth beautiful phone...with the Qualcomm 810 but I can't even listen to Spotify and surf chrome without extreme lag, or an app closing out. The lag will come and go....and its actully lagging as i write this....i have nothing open.....I think its mostly a ram problem...and I'm so confused because they say the g flex 32 GB variants have 3 gbs of ram....mine is 32gbs....but I have 2....anyway...I've attached a video for proof of the lag...I've updated everything and everysthinga stock with about 20 apps installed....this is very frustrating because I didn't even have this much lag coming from my g2 and that's 2 years older..so I would love it if someone could get me some sort of help!

Lol definitely not chrome, it's my phone.... It could be a combination of Spotify, and Skype, and Spotify would is shut off it's mostly a ram problem
It's probably memory leaks. I changed my thermal throttling and I still have that happening. It's a known issue in 5.0. We will probably have to wait until we get 5.1 to see real relief. Often I am forced to restart my phone because it wont respond because it seemingly can't load anything else into RAM.
I'm pretty sure this is a ram issue. I've never experienced that with my 3gb model. Although the lag you're experiencing is what I had with my S4 with android 5.0 and it all got fixed when I upgraded to 5.1.

Unfortunately it looks like the best method requires Xposed which we can't install right now. You could try an app that will kill apps that are using a lot of memory. I don't have any recommendations though since I'm not currently using one but may end up trying it out soon since I'm getting tired of restarting my phone.

Currently there isn't a way to install the framework without an unlocked bootloader. It's possible that could change at some point but for now it's not possible.

I was fine on my g2 installing xsposed on 5.0, but I did have an unlocked bootloader, I know there's a root method for the Flex 2, but I guess there's no boot unlock?

On my S4 with 5.0 it helped to run the app Greenify with root access. I would have it hibernate apps I didn't want to have taking resources in the background. Made a big difference for me. Even without the xposed features it helped a lot.

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'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.

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.

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.

S8+ Low ram + bad performance issue need help

So ive been having this issue lately (on latest updates), running G955F (s8+) stock unrooted and knox still intact. I have like really low ram between 300-400mb and device lags all over the place . For example i cant leave games open that will close automatically after a while or if i need to see a whatsapp message most other backround tasks will close too which is anoying . And yeah i know how android works and the fact that more free memory doesnt mean better performance exactly, but when theres too low memory then apps starts to be killed etc , which gives bad performance overall.
To clarify all of this , i hard reseted the device already and when it boots with just whatsapp and messenger (not even facebook installed) i have already this low ram, been disabling apps with package disabler and free ram doesnt change. Tried also on developer options to limit proccessess with no avail too. So whats happening ? whats eating so much ram and why it doesnt free up ?, on later patches i used to have my common and pretty standart 1.5 to 2.0 gb free ram , now i have device that feels like galaxy s3.
Could it be faulty hardware ? i just dont know anymore at this point, i really tried all i couldve think of.
pd: I have latest stock DBT up to date with latest security patch too.
Same problem facing by me.

If I restart the phone, it continues to work fine and free ram is actually good , but as soon as I continue to use the phone then it starts to be less and less free ram available till 300-400mb when phone starts to lag and underperform.
And yeah I try to clean ram using in built device maintenance but when it gets too low it just doesn't change no matter how many times I free it,always stays at 400 or something and phone lags.
I got 1.5gb-1.3gb always free. Do you have stock samsung rom for 955F?

Yep ,stock Samsung unrooted same model as you. With messenger , WhatsApp and Pokemon go as only apps installed.
i also have a lot of apps and have 1.1-1.3gb always free. In settings>apps try to click on each app and u have an option to run in the background. try to disable that and see if ur ram usage drops.
---------- Post added at 09:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:51 PM ----------
And also try to disable things.... try to buy a package disabler from google play and disable stuff u don.t use..
I think its a hardware problem, but as a last resort go for resoft other rom or same rom.
Do this ONLY IF YOU DONT HAVE WARRANTY, if you have, send it.
My exynos s8+ is lagging until i could not even toss the pokeball properly. I have to struggle real hard to play pokemon go. I really could not believe what I am seeing for a 1 year old phone. This is very likely to be my last android phone.

Question [Camera Failed]

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.

Yup that's what I hit. Only camera app shows up. I will try to isolate the problem and see what conditions this behavior occurs.

Do you have the return option still available?
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.

I was hoping last week's 1557mb update would fix this...
And no return option. I pre-ordered
