[Q] How to speed up the launch of the camera. - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys ,
i did a test yesterday with an iPhone 4s and my S4,and the time it takes to launch the S4 camera is crazy slow , even though the picture is a lot better , i find the 4s launches,focuses and gets the shot (with all apps open) much faster than the S4 ( all apps closed ). is there any way to speed this up?
i have turned off all the stuff slowing down the S4 , just wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same thing?
Thanks
B

[Q] does Google Edition become better on overheating issue ?

I heard many user complained about the overheating issue for 9505/9500, I am wondering if the google stock rom can save us for that problem?
Any one can check that?

My 9505 has been running stock TW w/root until today, I flashed the Google Edition 4.3 ROM and I've noticed the device get noticeably hotter. Benchmarks are better so I wonder if there are some less restrictive CPU clock settings or additional debugging occurring (speculation).

That is because 4.3 google edition rom is a test rom that was leaked.
You are better off running 4.2 google edition rom.

Android 2.3 on Nexus 4

Come on guys, think about it. It would be so fast.
Has someone made a GB ROM for the Nexus 4? I bet it would be wicked fast and smooth compared to other ROMs with higher Android versions. Is there anything that holds it back from getting GB?

no qualcomm drivers for gb , no gb with hardware enabled, so it would lag even when opening app drawer.

This is ridiculous. KK is more optimized than previous versions. JB is faster on my vibrant than when it was on older versions. My N4 is significantly more responsive on KK than JB. Going backwards will fix nothing.

Is kit kat on your N4 not messing up the responsiveness of your home and back keys? It lags so bad for me, and location services take longer on 4.4 for me. Idk why.

It'd be slow, the newer version are much more optimized, you can test web browsing with GB vs JB.
If you want to use GB, get an original Galaxy Note and use Odin to flash it back to Gingerbread. That was one of my favorite phone and one of the last phone Samsung made with decent build quality, imo (here come the Samsung fanboys).
If home button lags for you, try a different browser.

You don't think the Galaxy S5 has good build quality? The Galaxy note was more of a square brick than a phone imo. I think GB would fly through every benchmark and be way better in real world performance than JB or Kit Kat.

KK most optimized? do thell me, that home button that takes 3 times more to do the thing,ahh and those god awful lag in Dungeon Hunter 4,i got back to 4.3.
PS: yeah it would fly, about ics is so easy because of lgog, im already making changes in some cm9 roms with those libs, but i dont know why lg uses adreno 200 blobs O_OO(or atleast is what says on logcat, it fails to create the buffer :/)

First off, going back to GB is just silly. Not only will GB been slower than kit kat, it is also ugly as hell in comparison, with half the functionality, plus many google apps need android 4.0+ to get their full functionality.
Kit kat runs faster than anything else on the nexus 4, especially with ART on. If you get lags/issues, then something else went wrong, most likely in the way you upgraded. I suggest you flash the factory images through fastboot.

ics from samsung?, the wors optimized android is 1.6 on htc g1, it was 2x more slower then 1.5 on dat device
Ps: is not lag like u running android on a 200mhz device, but its some little lags like samsung roms have.(who used s3 with ics knows what i mean).
Ps2: "Kit kat runs faster than anything else on the nexus 4, especially with ART on. If you get lags/issues, then something else went wrong, most likely in the way you upgraded.

neither me dont know why, but yeah, i got better wifi speed(some ppl are complaining that) but lags on screen buttons, and on some simple things like recent apps menu. :/.
Lag is always relative to the individual person. Something that is considered smooth and "lag free" may seem the opposite to someone else.

To everyone that has lag on Kitkat... have you by chance done a dirty flash?
It was behaving erratic for me too until I started with a clean slate. Backup your data, let the factory image flash do its job and voila, fast Kitkat.

Update to KitKat or Not?

After seeing many different comments. I wanted to get a general idea on whether to update LG G2 to 4.4.2 Kitkat or stay with the 4.2.2 JellyBean version?
I mostly think about the OFFICIAL Kitkat release, NON-ROOTED.
I have seen people talking about battery and bluetooth battery drain problems on the new update... So which one is better?
Thanks.
Got better for me when I updated, and or was pretty dang good before
Sent from my LG-D801 using Tapatalk
For me is KK better and faster yes have some problems with battery drain and bluetooth but if you flash any custom rom you resolve this problem i use custom rom and custom kernel and i not have this problem and i not use bluetooth everyday so my battery is pretty good so update to KK and be happy
yes!
Absolutely update to Kit Kat... ONCE ROOTED
Anyone using Tmobile version with KK rooted? Does wifi calling feature work?

Kitkat it is. It is the most updated and it is there for a reason: to fix Jelly bean's flaws. :fingers-crossed:
If you HAVE ROOT or NOT HAVE anyway update to Kitkat because is better

Oh no. One of the reasons why i ditched my nexus 4 for lg g2 is because nexus 4 had bluetooth connection issues with my car. Looks like it has to do with google 4.3 and 4.4+ roms no matter what phone you have. I have heard only sense and touchwiz didnt have this issue in KK. As i drive a lot, i need this feature. Looks like 4.4.3 fixes bluetooth - hope we get it for lg g2.
Other than that only things you will loose going to KK is
flash wont work with stock browser even if you use hacked flash player - works with dolphin+jetpack though.
stock browser inverted rendering wont work - dolphin night mode is great though.
Battery drain difference between the versions are minimal. I tried both in my nexus 4. If you experience a drain, it might be due to play services. some versions keep the location services running even if you turn off the location. I use appops to turn it off and i get good battery in KK.
What kind of issue you have with bluetooth? Not connecting? or not auto connecting with paired devices?
Edit: Bluetooth working fine for me with kitkat stock. Same car with which i had problems with nexus 4, works with lg g2.

it's the other way around, actually. it introduced endless amount of "flaws" to the almost perfect LG's JB builds.

Could Kitkat be adjusting itself to the optimum in time?
I decided to stick with the stock rooted jb as it came with the phone. If it ain't broke.......and I've found nothing to complain about.

I'm really thinking of going back to JB. Battery was heaven on there. I used to go 30 minutes SOT before it dropped to 99%. Now, after 12 minutes it drops. Battery life is not bad but once you taste batter, well, who doesn't want to stay at better. I just underclocked to 1.5Ghz for the day to see battery usage. First time underclocked with any device.

Hey guys, ive tested both. I would say battery on JB is better but overall speed is improved in KK (a least it feels like that).. so it just depends on your preferences..
(But i like the statusbar a looot more in KK)
Battery and speed is better for me on Kitkat.

Interface super smooth and better looking. Everything nice
Benchmarks way slower (Antutu down from 50k to 45k). Battery life seems ok so far.
Very happy about the upgrade. Try it you won't regret.

CM13

Hi guys and girls.
As 95% of us know, the factory images and source code for Android Marshmallow (6.0) was released a couple of days ago.
I thought I'd create this thread for news, gossip and everything in between to do with CM13. Who's pumped? :thumbup:
Cm13 with fingerprint and 6.0 damn son my note 4 will be on fire
I will upgrade to CM13 regardless of what people think but has anyone notice how the antutu bench mark tends to go way down with each upgrade? I had a 51k point with CM12 and went to 44k with CM12.1..... just saying most can expect a score of 35k with this trend?
Or does anyone think CM13 will optimize in a way you can get more "juice" out of the Note 4?
