Disappointment - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My s4 lag more than my friend s htc one,and the stupid scroll mistake a lot.So disappointed and so disappointing.

English please.
And did you try Settings-> Developer options -> Windows animation scale -> Transition animation scale -> Animator duration scale -> off (if you own an S4 at all that is)?

Then ditch and buy htc one beauty of competition you can get whatever satisfies your needs.

Root -> install Titanium Backup -> Remove all Samsung's crappy apps -> install a decent launcher like Action Launcher Pro
Go to settings -> About Device (under the More tab) -> Click on the Build Number 7 times to enable the Developer menu -> enter developer menu -> Make sure that Force GPU acceleration is turned on and that all animations are set to 0 or 0.5.
If that doesn't help, you'll just have to wait for a custom kernel to make everything better. :good:

How do I prevent the software OTA update notice?

I downgraded to 4.1.2 because my Nexus was getting crazy lag, and now it's smooth and lovely again. Anyway, everything is fine except for the constant popups to upgrade to 4.2. What's the easiest way to disable that?

If you have installed System Tuner, you can make this go away.
On System Tuner -> select System (the one with the red android icon) -> scroll down and select Google Services Framework -> tap Details button (the one with the magnifying glass icon) -> scroll down to Services subsection -> uncheck update.SystemUpdateService -> close System Tuner -> restart.
Hope this helps
Well that totally worked and wasn't too hard. So far the thing I only miss about 4.2 is that new clock app with world time, stopwatch, timer. I wonder if I could find that somewhere

You can fix the lag on 4.2.1 as well, pretty easy: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2012756

Hi,
They are mostly settings which you might use in a custom ROM ,if the dev advises it.
USB debugging should be ticked if you want to interact with your phone via the pc.

-if you want to get your phone snappier,set window, transition, animation scales to off.
-if you want to gain more free ram, set background process limit to 4 or less.
-if you are a hard-core gamer, want best graphics, less lag, enable "Force 4x MSAA.

Speed up your Note 4 without root!!!

I have tried and it does improved the speed and smoothness on our stock Note 4. The beauty is we don't need root and very easy to do. Enjoy!!

Yeah I applied all of these on day 1 of getting my Note 4(after watching this video). Thanks for sharing though:good:
Grrrr, damn work sonic firewall blocking my YouTube accessibility. Guess when time permits, I will switch over to "Data" on the Note 4 and try to watch the vid. :silly:

Nice to hear. If you drop all 3 animations in developer settings down to zero, it's even quicker. Some people like a little transition so they keep it at 0.5x
Definitely helped. Forgot about some of these options. Hadn't been on TouchWiz for a while. Thanks again!
Cliff notes for those that can't YouTube:
1. Change Animation Scale - Enable Developer mode under Settings > About phone > 'Build Number' (tap until developer menu active), under developer menu update Window/Transition/Animator to 0.5x
2. Disable S Voice Launch from Home Key - open S Voice, settings, open with home key double press option (I think this is disabled by default on Verizon version because mine was already off).
3. Disable Briefing app and home screen animations - Long press multitask button, settings, uncheck briefing app and animations set to none.
4. Disable unwanted pre-installed apps - Go to App drawer, settings, uninstall/disable apps option, pick and choose as desired.
I used to do this on my note 3. Good video. Hope this transcript helped. Thanks.
Nicely done @h3ck...Thanks!!
You need to keep developer options on, if you turn it off, it resets the animation settings, noticed this for the Verizon version

+1 Correct bro!!

like open an app and closed it open the drawer and clear all tasks.
thank you
Go to Settings -> About Phone (At the bottom) -> tap on 'Build-nnumber' until it says 'you're a developer now' or something like that -> Go to Developer settings -> Scroll down until you see something like 'animation scale' and mess around with it until you like it (Sorry but my phone is in German and I don't know the exact english terms)

S7 Edge (exynos) keeps killing Apps in BG after few minutes

Hey there, is there any way how to stop that feature that will kill App in background (especially Pokemon GO), when im using Pokemon Go Plus, original App must be fully loaded in Background.But after few minutes phone will "kill" pokemon go and i have to reload game and pair it with Pokemon GO plus again.
Is there any way how to make App/Game priority so phone wont kill it when im not using it ?
Hope you understand

I have a few things for you to try
1.
Settings > Device Maintenance > Battery > Advanced(top right)
You can either just turn off App Power Monitor (if you do ignore number 2.)
or if you want to use it still you can click on it and then click "put unused apps to sleep" and change the sleep delay.
2.
Settings > Device Maintenance > Battery > Unmonitored Apps (scroll right down to the bottom to find it)
and add the apps you dont want it to monitor.
If none of this has worked for you its possible an option in devloper settings is enabled.
3.
Settings > About Phone > Software Information > Tap "build number" over and over untill Developer Mode is enabled
Then go to
Settings > Developer options (at the very bottom) > Make sure "Do not keep activities" is turned off and that "limit background processes" is set to standard.
Hope this helps :good:
