I9000 software official update

I just switched on my computer and was notified that there was an update to kies which brought it to version 2.3.1.12044-18. I decided to upgrade and then connected my phone and was notified that there was a firmware upgrade.
The upgrade gave me me,
PDA JW4
Phone JW4
CSC JW5
I cannot say what the changes are, or what effect it will have on the operation of the phone as it's only been upgraded for 15 mins.

By all reports the only change (from CSC JW4 to JW5) is an upgrade of Play Books. Certainly I haven't noticed any other difference.

I updated too, wonder if it fixes the touchwiz issues since 2.3.6... hmm

I couldn't say. I've been using Go launcher since 2.3.6

I'm the same and hence why I wondered if anyone out there has noticed. Such a shame that a multi billion pound corporation can't get their own GUI working properly; it's like a bad joke.

Can you tell us what are the problems that you have found? With my limited expertise I haven't found any problems.
Thanks.

Ok, the update prior to this one had major freezing issues on the homescreen; literally an random times you can find that the homescreen freezes as you try to swipe between pages; it can freeze after you've exited an app. The freezes can last for 10 to 20 seconds and nothing you can do short of removing the battery will elicit a response from the phone. As soon as I started using GoLauncher I've had no such problems and ergo Touchwiz must be the culprit.

I experimented these troubles but after I have done a hard reset it is now solved.
I reinstalled almost all applications I have been using previoulsy (which were kept during initial firmware update done through KIES but lost after the hard reset) and I discovered that :
APN ON/OFF was not compatible (but was present after initial fimware update)
This was a possible candidate to explain the troubles encountered.
The other candidates are the 2 applications not reinstalled :
- Beautiful Widget (From Getjar)
- Quick Settings
There is another guy who complained about JW4 and who performed a reinstallation of all his applications one by one and said that troubles started as soon as Beautiful Widget was installed.
For the moment (so for Several weeks) I have not had any freeze.
Additional Info : As I saw Cut The Rope experiments was available for Free at Getzar I reinstalled Getzar and .... First Black Screen !!!
Regards
Olivier

Hmm, I only had Beautiful widgets installed briefly and I don't have APN on/off installed. Not heard of quick settings... at any rate I never had the issues until the update so it must be touchwiz or a samsung tweak as Golauncher works perfectly.

Never had BW or APN on/off installed so they weren't the problem. I also did a hard reset and still had the same problem, which I experienced as a huge lag, not a freeze.

Exactly the same for me : I had not any trouble until I update firmware to JW4.
But since I have done the hard reset and not reinstalled Beautiful Widgets (weather wallpaper + meteo widget), JW4 is working very good, it might me a sort of memory management issue which happens only if specific confirguration.
Please not also that When I said I reinstalled all applications it was from the market, no from a backup up.
Also no root performed (as before) so I couldn't blame any kernel ...

App crashing problems

TBH I don't know what the hell happened to my phone one day I picked up my phone and EVERY SINGLE APP I open just lasts for a minuet and crashes for no reason!? even my keyboard my TouchWiz launcher EVERYTHING!! I think the problem from this app: (Android WebView) because someone who have the same phone have this very same problem.
One more thing the screen is doing weird things too?!
Anyone who knows what the hell is happening to my phone please let me know what to do.
PS: It's a stock Note 4 running Android 5.0.1 lollipop not rooted N910C Exynos variant.
Thanks in advance!

Have you tried doing a factory reset, that would probably help...

Actually after posting this I did a factory reset but just after updating several apps the problem came again.

One thing that I noticed that when I leave the screen without touching it the app stays just fine like YouTube watching movies and like that but when I start browsing and scrolling the app crash... WTF?!

That is kinda odd really....maybe flashing a different firmware would help.I haven't really experienced app crashing like that...

Thanks for your time man!
Yeah that's really what bothers me a lot!
I cleared the cache but it helped for a few hours and came back again but now I force-stopped that app and then unstalled the updates then disabled it, Now I don't have any problems "for now" but I think that app really missed up my screen because the screen before disabling it was giving weird colors... anyway I really hope that it'll never encounter me again! My phone was literally unusable!

OOS 5.1.1 Lag

Hey guys. Is anyone here experiencing random lag moments after updating OOS to 5.1.1? It happens completely random, mostly when scrolling.

Nope, haven't exoerienced any scrolling lag on 5.1.1. Does it happen in all apps for you or just some specific ones? Because some apps are not so well optimized and it can happen

The lag is not app related as it happens in the whole system (Launcher, Settings, Notifications bar)...
A restart solves the problem for the moment but after a couple of hours (maybe days) it comes back and is there for a couple of seconds and then it's gone for a couple of seconds then comes back, and so on...

Nope, have you tried factory restart?

I haven't gotten there yet as the problem isn't bugging me so much. I wanted to know if I am the only one with this problem, but a factory restart will surely come soon. Maybe unlock the bootloader and root then.

I've tried it but it doesn't lag. Maybe I should try it when the whole system is lagging.

And you are not rooted with an unlocked bootloader I assume?

Having weird stutters when scrolling too. Also sometimes opening apps feels choppy like there is something going on I can´t explain.
Tried factory reset but issue is still there.
If you turn on the GPU Graph you´ll see those spike right when the stutter occurs, there is something uneven but I´m lost on this one
I don´t think this is an OS issue as I had this before 5.1.1 too .. kinda started randomly

Hello again,
Wanted to inform you that I also actually just encountered that problem. It is really weird indeed. A restart fixes it but then in about a day or two the issue appears again. I am actually going to switch roms for the time being because of that.

After the New Update Exynos Model (BUGS)

Hello Guys,
I am from India, I got the latest update attached screenshot.
I am facing few issues:-
The phone has become laggy in some departments such as:
1. The fingerprint mark stays on the screen after the screen unlocks.
2. Even after pressing the power button screen doesn't lock. The screen does black out but when I double tab on the screen it directly takes me to the home screen without showing the lockscree first. I am not using Google trusted location or devices to unlock without taking my fingerprint or face recognition.
3. When I try to dial a number it doesn't call at a single go, after pressing multiple times it calls the person whom I am trying to call. It looks very choppy as if the system responding to my commands little later.
4. Whenever I am trying to take the screenshot it doesn't take at a single go, after pressing multiple times the system recognises I am trying to take the screenshot and respond little later.
All the apps are working fine without any lags but the above said things are bothering me a lot.
I hope someone from XDA can assist me with this.
P.S.: I have tried to clear the cache from the boot screen. Also did a test on graphics from the same menu.

Thanks for your reply! I hope somebody facing similar problems has overcome and provide suggestions.
But Sammobile blog has also confirmed these issues.

II havent faced any of these issues post update.
Did you try doing a factory reset? If not, try the same if its not too much of an issue for you.

I have the same but I updated today over mobile data.
Came home and it started to behave like described above.
So I figured it is something with the updated WiFi drivers.
Switched off Wi-Fi and all seems fine now.

So, you're saying only the ppl that took the OTA are facing the issues? In that case i will probably try that then if the bug returns for me.
For now after switching WiFi On/Off for me it is gone.
Seen reports that plugging in the charger does the same.
Weird stuff indeed.
Also now i see a fellow Dutch, you by any change using Rabobank stuff (Wallet/App) with tripped KNOX and have no problems with it?

No, its possible that some users who do flash a rom with Odin could face some issues too but i personally don`t. I`am using the ABN bank app and i haven`t rooted for a long time now. I used to do it because of theming and getting updates/upgrades but nowadays i personaly don`t see a reason anymore to root anymore. So i can`t help you with your question.

I happened to flash "ASE5" build two ways :
1. First using ODIN 2 days back . Did a factory reset ,erased cache in recovery, reinstalled all apps & after setting them up:-
issues faced -> None.
2. Went back to previous "ASD5" build, downloaded the "ASE5 OTA" update and installed. Did a factory reset, erased cache in recovery, reinstalled all apps & after setting them up:-
issues faced so far -> None.
*One glitch I'm noticing from the beginning with "ASE5" :
When I click on my apps & games(playstore app>drop down menu on the left), it freezes for a split second while it takes into the main page. With all my effort, I could not fix it. (App cache cleaning only temporarily fixes this).

A split second delay bothers you? What apps are running in the background? Do you have the FaceBook app installed? How did you set your animations?

No it does not "bother"but is a step back in smoothness if that counts. It's a "difference" that I noticed since I was testing both builds back and forth for a comparison. Rest be assured that it's not related to apps installed and animations set.

Erase playstore cache and you won't even notice it for a while only to re-appear after sometime.
"Less noticiable" and "very much noticiable" in my usage in 1x & .5x respectively. In ASD5 build, this transition slips like a soap.

android 10 jitters after update

Ever since I got android 10 my phone gets these random jitters from time to time. Also I noticed whenever I'm in an app and I close to go back to my home screen the home screen refreshes (using nova) I don't ever recall having these issues on pie. It just seems really buggy. I never got to try the beta's since my country didn't have the program.

I really don't want to wipe. I put so much time into customizing everything the way i want it

Mine hasn't been hitting at all, however sometimes when I pull my notification shade down and then expand a notification it freezes. I'm almost ready to do a factory reset to see if that fixes it

I also noticed that the ram management has been horrible. I notice this after the phone has been rebooted and it's several hours later. Never was like that on pie

If you backup, it takes like 10 minutes to factory reset and restore. You could be done by now...

Don't "lol" as you've clearly never backed up & restored on nonrooted Android or via Samsung SmartSwitch.. They don't cover everything, by a mile.

I did it not to long ago, enjoy your bugs.

I have jitters and stutters within both Samsung and Gmail apps. I also get freezing when I pull down my notification shade and try to expand Gmail notifications. The latter happens about 80%of the time where as email jitter and stutters are constant. I have factory reset twice without restoring from any backups.
This did not do this in PIE.

Same here. Horrible ram management, random freezes. Samsung is definitely rushing to release the "stable" version of the android 10.
Not quite sure why people still believes doing a factory reset can fix everything.

For me scrolling in any internet browser is choppy.

Yeah so it seems they released this update too early and it's still feeling like a beta. I'll probably wait til January patch comes out and see if they fixed it

Am also experiencing the same random jitters this thread is talking about. I updated to Android 10 (BSKO) the day it became available to Greece (EUR, December 9th) on my S10+ (SM-G975F). Am holding up till January update before resetting and possibly downgrading, first versions of Android OSes suck in general anyway. Bit of advice, if your S10 is having a "lag attack" on Android 10, do not, under no circumstances open the camera. Touch input will freeze up and camera will just show a laggy feed of what's going on for about 5-7 minutes before unlagging and forcing a reboot.
