[Q] Note 4 lags after lollipop update. - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My N910H lags in games after I updated it to stock 5.0.1.
I play Modern Combat 5 it was smooth in Kitkat now it's really laggy.
I got 50k in Antutu with Kitkat, now it's 38-42k.
Can someone help me? I'm a heavy gamer and I want the best performance in games. Or should I downgrade to Kitkat?
Thanks for your help!

Things I already tried:
- Factory reset (2x)
- Power saving mode is OFF.
- Turning off bluetooth, sync, location, and nfc.
- Reinstall Antutu.
- Reinstall MC5
My device is unrooted and Knox warranty status is 0x0.

Benchmarks don't really mean anything for Christ sake....if your games don't play smoothly then just downgrade to kitkat and wait for Samsung to hopefully updated our devices with a newer and better working version of Lollipop.

I had the g3 and boy did they screw the pooch on that one! The device got so slow and battery life was considerably worse! This was the 32/3gb version... Hopefully samsung won't mess this up big time.

All other scores looks fine.. Except for 3d graphics.

Man i have the same problem here it seems that the phone is always in power saving mode and the gpu is limited to 350 mhz instead of 700 mhz. Also the cpu runs at 1.3 ghz instead of 1.9 for the big cores thats why it has low score in antutu hope somebody figures out a solution and also this is a bug in this update

I have the same problem guys with my n910f. It starts after lollipop update. Did you try kitkat, it works now as it should?

Try doing a factory reset if you have't done it already.

It didnt work.

i updated my N910H too and i confirm the lag too, perhaps i will downgrade, will give it more time.

4.3 lags on all 2d games and antutu benchmark

Hi, after installing android 4.3 in every game and antutu benchmark i have lags. In 4.1.2 was good. What i can do with this? I installed 4.3 CE in all ways. The worst is hill climb racing.
4.3 made my SP almost non responsive..

Same problem here. 4.3 made my SP really really slow . Almost in every app I got 'not responding' messages. Only 125 MB free ram, even without much additional apps besides stock. Just downgraded to 4.1 and everything is back to normal. My advice: don't upgrade unless you really need to. Perhaps 4.4 might work better with regards to ram.

Yes but i have 450 mb ram. Maybe CE is broken, and try to install another?
I installed an australian version in the release day and have no problems, no lag anywhere
Ok im installed the australian version and its the same... lags and slow, crappy phone..
my apps are all responsive when i manage to open them without the "so and so" has stopped working
I am using CE and no problems whatsoever :/ in fact my games run far better!

I'm on CE version too, and have no promblem, all game still run fast
No problems in me either. Maybe you guys have too much ram eating apps in background.

I have random write 0.11, on 4.1 i have 0.35, what i can do with this? I dont have root because i dont want to unlock bootloader.
Full fresh installation may solve the problem

I do this, all clean, not only me have this problem In 3d games is very good.
I don't get this. Even before I removed the bloatware and tweaked my ram the performance for me was better than old rom (except perhaps with doomkernel). Install as clean as possible (format system as well as data) delete all bloatware and AVOID advanced kernel as it is buggy. Try enabling force gpu rendering to fix 2D games

Bad 3d performance on lolipop (Exynos)

Hello,
Short story: On 5.0.1 (bob4 or boc3) the 3d score in antutu is about 7k. On 4.4.4 I get over 15k. Even in 3dmark I get 20k on 4.4.4 and 11k on lolipop.
In some games (like asphalt 8) I see a struttering (But I can't see a difference between lolipop and kitkat performance).
I heard that is a gpu bug that lock the freq. to 350mhz, it's true?
would also like to know about this as i am planning to get the exynos version too

It is a known bug in current lollipop build (bob4, boc3), for some reason phone is stuck in power saving mode. Use kitkat for better performance, lollipop for better visual experience.
Still I don't understand why this issue is random??? I asked a few users on another forum and they don't have this bug.
Had the same issues here:
1st lollipop antutu scores - 49k (overall), 16k (3d)
2nd and ahead lollipop antutu scores - 39-42k (overall), 7.5k (3d).
I have no idea why it changed.
I have the exynos variant.
I'm running the new boc5 lollipop and getting 51,432 on antutu

It's not really a bug, but a more conservative throttle-threshold. You can easily test this out by putting your phone somewhere cold for about 5 minutes and then running the benchmarks. The problem is though that in BOB4/BOC3 the throttle level was just way too conservative which caused games like asphalt 8 not to run at speeds greater than 350Mhz. This was solved in BOC5, so just update if you want KItKat level performance.

I have no boc5 for my country. Is this a custom rom or official update?

BOC5 is an official rom yes. You can usually find the official ROMs in the general section.
And you could give me a link to some as a good custom rom, or officially, because I tried one BOC5, but still had a problem with efficiency.

[Q] A weird kind of lag in N910C 5.0.1

I just installed android 5.0.1 (Boc3) on my N910CQ and everything works fine and feels like butter
except one thing:recent apps section.Its not the recent apps button but scrolling in the card stack and closing apps is lags so much.I didint find anything like that in the web
Do anyone else experiencing the same issues as i am ?
Thanks
I'm actually having the same problem. Recent apps button lags and the interface itself within the recent app list is a bit laggy too.
Sent from my SM-N910C using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Anyone could help us
Same here. I even replaced my default launcher with Nova. UI is now a bit faster than before (still noticeable lags) but the recent apps still lags too much. Same as closing recent apps. Mine is N910C
Same.. Downgraded to KK. 5.0.1 update is the worst update I think
I never had any lag on my device, pure stock.
I'm however using the F model on 4.4.4.
Kind regards, Stefan.

Overheating SD810 -Software fix (28.0.A.7.24 SPG712)

Hello Community,
my german Z4 Tablet (SGP712) was on 28.0.A.6.2 and got really hot sometimes, especially when I was downloading some gigabyte from PlayStore. Extended Stamina-mode brought no cooler CPU.
I unlocked my bootloader for helping a dev to root our device.
After installing 28.0.A.7.24 the CPU is much cooler, no more hot. So I went back to 28.0.A.6.2 and it was "hot" again.
Back on 28.0.A.7.24, everything is fine.
Please note that 28.0.A.7.24 is not available in all countries, yet.
Do you think they have introduced some throttling?
I read very much about it and there is no 2nd revision of SD810. All changes are made by software.
Maybe it was a bug of the Sony Firmware? Why the hell should a device become hot of downloading from PlayStore... it was really hot. I downloaded all my apps at once. It takes more than 15 minutes. I suppose that all cores where working at the same time.
But on the other hand, Sony confirmed overheating issues of SD810 and promised a new firmware without overheating in a short time. New firmware is 28.0.A.7.24 and it has no overheating issues. As far as I know they let less cores working at the same time - do we need really 8 cores working at the same time for such things? Never...
But please keep in mind - UNLOCKING your BL deactivates some features like Screen Mirroring and some more...

My antutu score is 57173 - 32 Bit version - no root available, yet... but soon.

I have an German LTE version with 28.0.A.6.8 and no heat problem..
had installed 28.0.A.7.24 and when I run Antutu, midway the backside is heating too much.
is that everyone experiencing? I had installed CPU-Z and in idle condition it shows ~40 degrees average across - but during Antutu run midway it peaks to 80s and 90s and that when I see more hot on reverse.
are there any other aspects we need to check for heat issues?

Hi,
is there a list what will be deactivated by unlocking?
Thanks.
Guys, What is your usual screen-on-time when using this tablet? Can you achieve 7 hours?

Note 4 snapdragon Getting Hot

Hi guys,
I have purchased Note 4 recently and it seems to be heating in minimal tasks also like surfing the internet. i have flashed KITKAT, LOLLIPOP(default) and MARSHMALLOW but in all these firmwares the problem seemed to be consistent. Earlier i used snapdragon phone which was clocked at 2.3 GHZ and used to heat @ heavy games like No Limits, with recording on but this one is heating in angry birds itself. Though no lags are observed. I have not tried the Marshmallow version latest yet but some body told that latest update fixed heating issue. The root problem i see is its Processor clocked @ 2.7 GHZ, i mean this much we see in PC. I dont understand why they have gone so far. Now Samsung kernel must be clocked such way that on demand it bumps the frequency to max. This max i want to limit to 2 GHZ but without knocking down KNOX warranty. If some one has latest updated Marshmallow release and can confirm that it is indeed not heating please comment or tell me the solution to this problem, i really like this phone but hate when it heats. I am ok with slight lagging due to underclocking. i am willing to flash kernels with lower max frequency via ODIN. No custom recovery intended. Also i dont want to loose on warranty.
Thanks and Regards,
Really looking forward to solution
