After watching a few YouTube videos on the Galaxy S8 I got a notification that my Note 4 had a software update. The conspiracy theorist in me genuinely tried to stop me updating in case this was the update that will bring me a whole load of annoyances in order to force me to update my phone, but I went ahead anyway and low and behold I've had major issues with my phone ever since.
Main issues are random crashes, slow response times (like a minute or so) and random reboots. Seems to happen mostly when I wake the phone up and the longer the phone has been in sleep, the worse the issues are.
I have done three factory resets, (even they were buggy and at times unresponsive, such as it not rebooting when it was supposed to) but the issue still persists. I have removed the SD Card (advice from another website) but it didn't help.
Current version of the update shows as being N910FXXS1DQC8 / N910FBTU1DPL1 / N910FXXS1DQA1
Am I right in thinking the only way to roll back the update is to root It and install a previous update? Would rather not do that and hope someone has some advice please.....
I'm currently on build 47.1.A.12.34 Oreo 8.0.
Occasionally and randomly, my xzp just keeps getting micro stutters (e.g. Scrolling is not smooth, screen transitions are not smooth) every few seconds. It's actually very annoying as a user to see it switch from smooth to stuttery every few seconds.
Anyone else experiencing this?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
yes I am, i thought its due to the 4k mod (too much to bare) but i dont really know maybe if youre on 4k, could be the problem i guess
Trying opening up developer menu and turning the animation speed up for faster animation
I have the same problem whit xzp. I asked on Italian Sony community and there are few person whit this problem. I guess than is a hardware issue.
i had the issue
but after clean flashing rom
i have not any problem at all
I use to have this problem until I unlocked my bootloader and ran Turbo ROM. No more problems for me. Dunno if you wanna go that route
The problem is google play Services. Just did a factory reset and didn't allow g. P. S. To UPDATE and was smooth. I think google does this with intention.... Scrolling in chrome, facebook and other apps is a nightmare
The problem was google play services and play store, they are both updating very fast when you first open the device as new. Disabling them is the key.
Now I am trying to see which version from apk mirror works...
For me the issue was rezolved by doing this:
1. Clean fix with XC
2. Disable Play Store and Google Play Services
3. Install both from apk mirror, latest versions, arm64 android 8, 320 dpi (it will reenable auto)
4. Disable in Chrome/flags some stuff regarding scrolling.
The problem is back! Either Sony changed default cpu governor settings with the new update which makes it even laggier, either google is doing the dirty job with play services or other software.
This phone was a rocket and now it feels like crap.
Tryed Bromite chrome web based browser and same sh...t
Any suggestions?
youtube app freezes randomly while playing videos. it starts playing again after 10 seconds or so.
i 've also noticed that if i pull up the keyboard in another app (while youtube video is frozen), the keypress sound doesn't work.
it seems like the audio component of android craps out at random times which causes the freezing issues.
happens rarely but it's annoying nonetheless. and it only happens in youtube. never had any audio/video issues with mxplayer.
is it just my phone, or is this also happening to other folks with the z5?
running official firmware 7.1.1. I was using NOBA firmware (7.1.1) before, but i have since switched to Canadian firmware(7.1.1). So far so good, but I'm sure this problem will come back soon enough. I've also tried 7.0 Global firmware and youtube crapped out on that too.
No unlocked bootloaders/roots or anything like that. Running pure stock mode.
Full wipe and flash last rom.
I've been having strange issues with memory management using the XZP. I use Spotify, YouTube and Shuttle+ for playing media in the background, and several times a day the app just closes without warning. This happens with the screen off most of the time, but occasionally it happens with the screen on as well.
The thing that confuses me the most about this, is that this has happened with various ROMs I've used on the phone, not just one. I've had the issue with stock Oreo, unchanged AOSP and CarbonROM (which is AOSP-based). I believe the only software I've used without the issue cropping up is the original Nougat software that came with the phone when I bought it.
Anyone else had any similar problems? Or is there a fix i just haven't tried yet?
Any one else seing a major performance drop after the update? Almost every app now loads 3 times as slow if it doesnt crash out and have to force close. Youtube videos get verry laggy and hang sometimes for 10 to 20 seconds before the app plays catchup and throws all frames in from time it got stuck to current play time in the video. Also screen off gps is nonexistent. I use geofencing in smartthings and it worked flawlessly before. Also smartthings app notifications will not show up until the screen is on. Ive set it to ignore data and battery with no luck. I have wiped the phone in fastboot and reapplied the update in uppercut. Still the same issues. Surely I'm not the only one. Maybe I'm the only one still hanging in to this phone these days. ?
Nope, quite the opposite, the phone feels noticeably faster and smoother after the update.
edit: Nvm, I'm not on T-Mobile.
