[Q] Anyone else experiencing status bar lag? - Galaxy S3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm having lags when pulling down the status bar. Any idea how to fix?

Same phone, same problem. Please let me know if you find a solution.

When it starts lagging i restart the phone.After that it works normal.

Yes, I do the same but I was hoping for some 'longer-term' solution. By the way, is it in any way harmful to restart a phone several times a day?

No it is not as long as you do it properly.

It's because of the CPU governor (Ondemand). The CPU underclocks to like 300mhz when idle, and that causes the lag. You'll notice that there's no lag when you pull down the bar after you've used the phone a bit.

Yeah that works. Also by doing some fast pulling downs one after the other it normalisez a bit, but still after some time it starts again to lag.

On mine the lag stops if I pull it down some times very fast or after a reboot, but it still starts later. Do you have any idea what we can do ?

You can try to pull it down fast several times without stoping and it becomes smooth again but not for much.

I think that is not the case, I had such issue on my last phone, Alcatel Idol X. Notification bar would lag all the time unless I start some other app, facebook or some news app for example. While those apps were running (actively, not in background) it was smooth. But it doesn't help my S3Neo. Thank you anyway for your opinion!

[Q] Games on 2.2 freeze

Hi,
I'm experiencing freezing with games on my hero.
For some type of games the phone just restarts.
With Angry birds it freezes (so I have to pull the battery out).
I've tried floyo and villainrom. I have this problem with both.
What can cause this?

My only idea is overclocking above what your device can handle. Try setting the max speed to 528Mhz (no OC) and check if this solves your problem (if yes you can slowly raise the speed up and see up to what speed your device is stable).
Thanks for the tip.
I'm trying it out right now will report back if it still occours.

[Q] SC 2.2 NV => 2.4 V & same problem

If I lock my phone, sometimes it won't unlock. It essentially just shuts down. I've reinstalled 2.2 once, and just went to 2.4 last night. When this happens, I have to pull the batter and restart. And yes, it does this with both versions. I wiped cache, etc upon installing the ROM as well.

When you say it won't unlock...is haptic feed buggy and it seems unresponsive and sporadic?

Not really, seems normal to me. Should I try turning it off, and see if that fixes it?
By any chance, would you happen to be using setcpu? I ask because I have noticed this happening on any rom I use, but changing my setcpu values for when the screen is off has pretty much solved it.

I've been using setcpu with every setup on this device and haven't ran into any problems. Only problem I would see with this, is if you set the levels way to low...that will induce locking up the system.
Ok, downloaded setcpu, what specs should I put it at?

well thats basically why i was asking..if i set mine to 200 max and 100 min when screen is off, it sometimes doesnt come back on. i currently have it set to 400 max and 100 min when screen is off and havent noticed any problems.

IMHO...that's really low.
Where do I set it for screen off? All I have are two sliders?

you have to go under the profiles tab and enable then you can set different profiles.
Still doing the same deal. SetCPU is at 400-800 during screen off. Haptic feedback is off.
Any ideas?
I'm not even running SetCPU and I get this happening.
Anyone have any more suggestions? It's not a huge deal, but it sucks watching my battery drop 10% every time I have to pull the battery and reboot.

eh17 reboots - narrowing in on the issue

from what i've noticed
it happens when closing the keyboard under certain circumstances
possibly only during sms messaging
i was able to duplicate a reboot sending/receiving a couple messages today
i had just received messages and then closed the keyboard
immediately i noticed the samsung logo
just seeing if this strikes anyone else's memory as being the point of occurrence
this was with eh17 and mkasick kernel
i have also seen one random reboot with my phone just sitting there
that was eh17 with eh17plus kernel from chris41g
but i also got the sms keyboard close reboot then as well at least once
i posted a kmsg for mkasick but he didn't see anything
just hoping to document the occurrences to help narrow in on the exact issue.
save the whining for another thread...thanks
i have a lot of bloat removed.
launcher pro
no animations
2 minute screen timeout with keyboard set to same as screen
auto rotate off in both settings and launcherpro
stock sms app
Sounds more like you have a loose battery. Random reboots occur in GB leaks when phone is sitting idle. It was found to be a voltage and deep sleep transition during partial wakes that was causing it. The fix was posted in this forum using Tegrak and SetCPU combination.

Here's what works for my phone:
SetCPU
OnDemand 100mhz/1000mhz
Screen Off: 100mhz/200mhz
Tegrak (Make sure you buy it for the newest version.)
OnDemand 100mhz/1000mhz
100mhz @ 1000mV
200mhz @ 1025mV
Edit:
If it is a loose battery, you can always jam some cardboard back there to make sure. I can't remember where the link is to the SetCPU/Tegrak, so I just posted my own settings for ease. It does seem to vary per phone, just like overclocking/undervolting, so a bit more reading/tinkering might be required.
my reboot issues happened a lil over 2 minutes into a phone call on every rom I tried so I went back to eg22
The fix for reboots is a page or 2 down here in General called "Possible fix for random reboots"

Also running "stock" EH17 with the mkasick compiled kernel, and haven't had any reboots in the last 4 days. I use the keyboard to send sms many times without problem. Sounds like a mechanical problem to me. I've heard other people with loose batteries or worn battery contacts have exactly the same issue. Try wedging a thin piece of cardboard into the space along the bottom of the battery and see if the problem goes away.
definitely a loose battery
i'm dumb
i'm running the 3000mah with extended door
i just set it down with a bit of extra force and yep reboot
thanks people
didnt know there was a fix for the random reboot.. i have 2 try that out its funny that it doesnt happen while plugged in

It doesn't happen while plugged in because it runs constantly at 100 Mhz and does not go into deep sleep. That is how we narrowed down the issue in that other thread and added the screen off profile to SetCPU.

I fixed my loose battery by sliding a half credit card ... Actually an old Kroger card... In the back of the phone. Tighter and zero reboots. Specific to the battery anyway. Cm7 does not reboot.

For me at least, the mkasick compiled kernel on EH17 doesn't reboot either. With the standard kernel it rebooted within a half hour of install.

Make factory reset and use good quality high speed microsd card.

Tnx but I have done factory reset several times and the problem still remains
Will high speed micro sd really helpful?
Of course if microsd card speed is low then it effects the device and processor need to do hard work to run everything smooth and lot of data of apps and games saved in microsd card.
Try a new battery.

Overall note 4 always heat a lot because 2k 1440p scrern so don't worry
Try deep black wallpaper this will help save battery and gpu.
Try greenery to hibernate apps
Disable apps you don't use
Root device and Uninstall bloatware apps
Don't ever use junk or ram cleaner apps like clean master
OR even battery saver apps this apps murder the processor..
Don't kill apps by swiping them from recents that you use more often so processor don't need to run wake them again
More your processor sleep the device will run smoothly and no heating.

I've done most of those solutions(except those need root)but they didn't make sense.
Before marshmellow I didn't have this problem and everythings were perfect but after the update...??
when did it start?
what part gets hot?
is there something specific you're doing when this happens?

The center and right part of back start to heating after several minutes all of the phone gets hot.
Mostly chatting or web surfing and some times gaming but the problem is ,it gets hot even listening music or other light works.
that could be very bad.
that's where all the power management and usb related chips are located.
it might require a new motherboard.
I was kinda hoping you had the same problem as me, which is heating just below the camera which is caused by "wifi scanning" going haywire(Wi-Fi toggles blinking on/off while Wi-Fi is off)

Go to settings/battery/details and make all apps to always save power
This will help in marshmallow for doze mode and make apps deep sleep while not using device and not let them run in background..

Showing the lockscreen takes a certain amount of time

Hi Guys!
I've noticed that some roms (most of them apart of Invicta and sometimes RR) have some delay when pressing the power button to show the lockscreen.
That's pretty annoying since it takes even 5 seconds sometimes!
Any clue or fix?
Thanks guys.

I'm pretty sure that the kernel is offline'ing all but one core in deep sleep (doze), and thus there is a delay when waking up.
If you download an app called "kernel adiutor", you can set the minimum CPU cores from the "little" cluster to 2. This should fix the problem.
