Even though its certain this isn't the official release, I thought we should condense the topics and just post the your thoughts about the good and bad features this update provides.
Ill start..dk28 isn't that awful for me like others. The only problems I've noted was samsung widgets disappearing sometimes, home screen rotation lag, and a few checkers showing up in the browser when zooming in and out.
However, on the bright side, flash is very smooth, and there are better icons

GPS fubared?
No notification when charging usb
Hey guys i recently started having a problem with the back button.it will pick up half the time and then its unresponsive the time any ideas on what i can do?
Probably just lag. Which way did you flash dk28?
Btw, I came up with some other things.
1. Notfications are delayed (ex. Handcents icons in the top bar are sometimes delayed)
2. Keyboard delayed (its actually a bit worse than before)

*Keyboard/touchscreen/captivate button lag/failure to register action/press
*Streaming music skips (last.fm) while doing anything else; like browsing the web.
*Slow orientation change
*No lineout on multimedia dock yet
*None of the unicorns and rainbows flying out of the screen that were promised by the legion of unrelenting froyo fanboys littering this forum for the past month.

Same here, I guess a few of us got lucky. Just very small things such as checker boarding. I don't have homescreen lagg though, or widgets that disappear.

GPS actually finally works for me with the update, I'm getting signal indoors in places I hadn't previously and it has yet to time out and require me to reflush the agps data or reboot the phone (used it all day today for work).

Not seeing this one either, lets me know right away though the notification bar as per usual.
However I am experiencing one very odd piece of behavior, If I open the phone to show the keyboard, turn off the screen and leave it sitting ... the keyboard LED blinks constantly. I'm not sure if it's an app of mine conflicting or froyo itself but it's fairly annoying.

I personally went back to 2.1, rock solid and stable.
On 2.2, Screen rotation is slow as molasses, GPS is stuck on my work location and would not work at all in updating. Browser was a bit slower compared to 2.1. Hated the scattered, non-alphabetical applications folder, wtf?!!
I enjoyed the 2.2 leak but the little niggles weren't enough to stay on it.
I did like the coloured menus, and the ability to turn off 3G when holding the power button for a few secs.
I keep getting errors when connecting to Wifi. I will look down at the phone and wifi will be off even though i never turned it off, and then the notification toggle wont do anything, and when I go into settings to enable it, it says "error" underneath the Wifi entry. Then it takes a few tries to get it connected again.
I do like where Froyo is headed, but this is absolutely no where near polished enough for final release.
Edit: Having a fully working GPS is awesome though. 2 meter accuracy = Awesome.
Does anyone else have lag when trying to adjust brightness on the notification bar?

If you press menu > edit > menu again, there's an option for A-Z order.
Guess it doesn't matter now since you downgraded, but just thought id let you know.

I've noticed since 2.2 that when a caller hangs up, I get a single beep in my bluetooth earpiece confirming that the call has ended, which I like...didn't have any sound before that.
Anyone else having trouble hanging up during a phone call? I hit the damn End button at least 3-4 times before it decides to hang up.
I must be one of the lucky few, everything works great, and not only that it fixed all the issues I had with the previous 2.1 build. I've tried out just about everything I can think of wifi, gps, 4g, pandora, etc.
edit: Should add, I did a factory reset after I installed it, wiped everything the only bit I loaded back in was contacts.

Give the phone a few secs after the screen comes back on then press it. Works fine; if you immediately press it.. it doesn't hangup. Seems intentional..
Umm.. aside from no GPS now which I plan to fix by reflashing di18 then 2.2... I don't find any major problems. The keyboard does have a bit of a registration flaw but not too major..
The leds do light up whenever the screen is off.
And I don't think the brightness sensor likes my room light because it enjoys changing itself a bit.

I'm always weary about doing wipes, so to test if this is true, mid anyone else testing out this also to see if he's right? =P

I have noticed the Sammy widget thing and the slow screen rotations but I was intrigued by your bug. So I tried it. Definitely happened. I wouldn't say 'blinks constantly' though. At least not in my case. It flashed on for about 2-3 seconds every 30 or so seconds. Maybe even as long as a minute. Caught me off guard. I watched it for a bit then went back to reading this thread only to have it happen out of the corner of my eye.

Woah, just tried it. I had similar results. However, I opened the keyboard, let the flash disappear, then 2-3 seconds later it came back. And stayed there too, for about a minute or so!
Not really a big deal in my opinion; I honestly don't use the keyboard often due to its laginess..
I'm running on CM7 and sometimes i notice that my evo's touch is COMPLETELY out of calibration wher ei have to reboot. for example, if i touch the home key, it will tap on something at the top of the screen, etc...its like everything is complete uncalibrated. Has anyone else experienced this?
Only when my phone is plugged into a third-party charger, and even then it's sporadic.
The evo has a drinking problem. It's just a hangover and will subside shortly. Don't worry.

try a different ROM..
or make sure you wipe everything... 3 times..
there is even a mod that can make sure your phone is rally clean. look for it.
or your phone just does not like that ROM.
Actually, when my wonks out, all I have to do is change to a different home screen (as in swipe to the left or the right), and it resets.
Rom. Issue. Either in your download Or the Rom itself Or your installation. I have had 2 out of 15 roms do that and I will never use them again. On to the next one lol.
I have never had this problem.
Only experience this while being on the charger

Can't say I have had that happen. Only the ghost Haptic Touch. lol Like the phone will vibrate/wig out in your pocket when it has not been touched. Only happened to me a few times before though.
Heelo.
I have noticed that sometimes (happened to me 3 times in 4 weeks now) while doing random things (most recentone was when i was looking at a picture on facebook and wanted to exit the picture), back and menu buttons under the screen don't respond. Home button works, touchscreen works, but menu and back key doesn't. In order to make it work I have to turn the screen on and back on so that they start working. I am using OMEGA 3.1 ROM and Faux 003 kernel.
Is anyone else experiencing the same problem?

Check if on stock rom it doesn't work either, or ask in the rom/kernel thread.

As I mentioned it happened 3 times in about 4 weeks now, so it's not a kind of thing that I could test with other roms, because it's very very rare. But I have also noticed that sometimes the same two buttons are less responsive than other times (like sometimes I can barelly press it with a tip of my index finger and it responds, but other times it does not respond when touched with point of finger, it only responds when I touch it with the pad of my finger - does it have something to do with electricity or softer skin on pads of fingers?).
Thank you
I've had this a few times in a bit over a week. Doesn't bother me as it's pretty rare and most likely a bug that will be fixed or possibly bugs in the apps themselves.
Good thing home button still works.

I also think it's a bug. Just had to ask as I didn't find anything with google
Thank you!!
I think he asked if you could test on a stock rom so you can see if its a hardware issue. Ive had mine for almost 4 weeks now and my back and menu button never failed to respond so far. Im on stock btw.
Same thing has happened to me a few times also.
I will be using an app or something, attempt to push the back button to get out of that app, and all of a sudden both the back button AND menu buttons die.... u press the area where they are located and nothing happens, no vibration, no light up, no nothing. The only way to fix it, is to restart the phone.
Only happens very rarely - and hard to guage when it might occur and repeat, due to its random nature.
Same thing happens to me. Also very rare, it's happened twice in 1 month

Not sure what it is really.
But it is annoying for sure.
Well. It worked up until about 20 mins ago. Then randomly just stopped working. Ive rebooted, shut down, enabled and disabled the feature in settings. Fixed permissions for the heck of it. Cleaned the screen. Reset calibration, etc. Nothing seems to work. I can double tap to shut the screen off easily, and it works flawlessly, but trying double tap to wake is completely useless. Any suggestions?

Tons of lg users are experiencing this issue. Its a design flaw with a hardware component that easily breaks. Wonderful build quality -_-...right. So only option is replacing the phone. But to how soon, until the other one breaks. So its kinda like. Well. This blows. I suppose Ill install a custom kernel and enable screen wake features that way.

Okay. So after hours of tapping. Which might i add. My fingers hurt, I am now able to activate the screen. Pausing after each tap, using my finger print area to tap "not to be confused with finger tip". The screen will activate. Also note, the standard two taps works sometimes, but with four presses, i seem to get the best results. Give it a try people. I have a theory the hardware has not failed. But yet, the activation area pixel size value changed. Either due to a conflicting app install. A intermittent system glitch etc

I'm having the same issue with my G2. Knock-on/off was working fine. Had the phone in the sun for a little while (maybe 2 hours) and the knock-on has stopped working completely. Used a drawing app on my screen and found no dead pixels or strips. Knock off still works perfectly though.
This could also be an issue with your proximity sensor. If something (screen protector, finger, dust, etc.) is blocking your proximity sensor, it could be reporting to the phone that it is in a pocket, and to keep the screen off. Try to clean that area, and avoid obstructing the sensors "view". As for the leaving it in the sun, you could have damaged the sensor? You could test it by making a call real quick and see if the screen turns on when you pull the phone away from your face.

Ya i got the same problem....at home it works perfect but when i went outside in the sun i can double tap like hell and screen didnt turn on(it turns on but cant see anything because its too dark like screen brightness is lower than low)...also power button didnt work...the proxi sensor is ok...i run the test menu and it shows that everything is ok...i also sent it back to my carrier and after a week of testing got it back. They found nothing and said that my described problem is a "feature".... sometimes it turns on after tapping und pushing the power button like hell and sometimes it doesent..
Your screen turns also on with very very low brightness or it is off? When u look really really close u can see it...for example hold power button and u can hardly see the white power off/reboot popup...but i dont know where the problem can be...germany d802 version..(Sorry for my BAD english)

My screen turns completely on and off when I use the button/knock-off feature. I'm going to take it to a technician today and see what they have to say about it.

This^. For me I have to use my entire thumb or even palm, but it occasionally works.(still like 1/30 tries). This leads me to believe that it is software related. This one issue is killing me. I hate using the power button on the back so I only used knock on. Now that it's not working I'm hating this phone. Knock off works great and I know knock on is kernel based so maybe someone can create a kernel that fixes this issue.
This did work for me. Fixed the knock on feature on my D802.

There is a solution; (not sure about it, my friend had the same problem and he fixed it with this method)
Open dialer menu and type;
5689#*980# (Sprint)
3845#*801# (T-Mobile)
3845#*803# (AT&T Canada)
3845#*802# (International)
3845#*800# (At&T)
3845#*980# (Verizon)
And when hidden menu is showed up, go to "Settings"
and go to "Update Touch Firmware".
The touchscreen won't work until after 5 seconds, Wait for it and if touchscreen gets working, exit the menu.
Lock the phone and try knocking on the screen, It should be working :laugh:

Does anyone know why the action memo often takes more than 10 secs sometimes to launch. Its very annoying especually when I'm trying to.write.something quickly
Sent from my SM-N910P using XDA Free mobile app
What? 10 seconds? Action memo on my Note4 is opened in just about 1 sec.
I was most likely exaggerating the time. Exact length of time but it wasnt instantaneous, which was frustrating when say for example i was saying oh note 4 this is one of the great features and it would be delayed.more than 1 or 2 secs which then would turn into embarrassment. It was a noticeable delay for.me.to post this topic.

Hi guys. Hope your all well.
I just got my note 4 (SD) a couple of days ago and seem to be having the same issue. All I have done so far is just rooted the device. So I don't even have a custom ROM. Yet, when I take out the s-pen, action memo takes ever so long and trust me, mine is longer than 10 secs. And just to top it up, I tried whilst reading your posts and now I have written this post on my phone, action memo is still not coming up!!! This is annoying.
Have you had any luck? @op
It has seemingly gone away latley. I did update fully to NK2 via ODIN then rooted on stockish NK2 deodexed. I dont know if it was a software bug or what. I was beyond frustrated.
Another issue that annoys me is often at weord times it freezes up when typing then there is a noticeable delay. Already had ot happen while typing this!
Experienced anything like that as well? Its still present was just wondering.

Action memo update: it never did pop up at the end. So rebooted the phone and tried as soon as it booted. And it worked straight away. So it seems to work ok for a bit after a reboot but then eventually disappears to a world of its own which i cant reach lol. Another thing i noticed compared to my Note 3 , action memo is not listed as "action memo" in root/system/app. It also does not showup in the list of applications via settings. I was checking this to see whether greenify hibernates it. But i cant tell if i cant find the damn app! Lol. Any thoughts on that ?
Regarding your question, i do tend to have a few lags whilst typing or doing certain tasks one after the other. Where i found the most lag with the keyboard is in whatsapp. Sometimes the lag is so bad that i think the phone has frozen and is about to reset itself (have had that before on note 3 a few times) but eventually the keyboard catches up with my fast typing fingers. I have also ,about 20 mins ago ,did the build prop edit regarding secure storage/s health as i have xposed framework installed. So lets see how much difference if any, it makes regarding lags. Btw, I'm on NK4.
18:43 update: action memo does not pop up now. If I reset the phone, it'll pop up. This is really p***ing me off now.
18:46 update: May have figured it out. I believe action memo is now embedded within s note.....which I put in the greenify list to hibernate. I unhibernated it and action memo seems to pop up with no problem. Will monitor it.
Can someone perhaps help me???? Mine doesn't even work!!! I updated my note 4 to lollipop a long time ago and last week I did a factory reset and now the action memo crashes almost 50 milliseconds after it pops up!!!! I looked everywhere and found only one solution that worked for someone having the problem and it was changing the animations in dev tools back to 1x. Mine were 1x but before I changed them to .5 and then back to 1 and I tried changing these several times and it DID NOT WORK. Can someone help??
I don't find solution
I have exactly the same problem. 10 seconds. It is not an exaggeration. Someone has a solution?
