Firstly, did you update via Odin from a stock rom or from a custom rom? You may want to backup the stuff on your internal storage (such as Whatsapp chats, photos, music, videos, app data etc) using Carbon, booting into recovery after updating using Odin and selecting full wipe and wipe cache. That should fix your problems but of course it'll wipe EVERYTHING on your phone.
EDIT: Not literally "everything", just your personal data. "Everything" that you added since you got it.

Yes i updated with odin from stock rom
Did full wipe after that then did full wipe again after discovering this lag but still no difference

Everything? It won't delete OS, it's not formatting And the fact some people have problems with notification panel's lag and some not maybe is caused by a rubbish in system files, which is not deleted during reflashing ROM? (just my theory)
But for now, if you don't want to have that lag try to change the unlocking method from fingerprint to any other.

The lag still remains unresolved after updating to 5.1.1
Sometimes, there is a massive lag when pulling down the notifications bar. And sometimes when I press the multi task button, it doesn't show up until I exit the app, then only it will pop up. While using my device, all f a sudden, the phone locks itself and brings me back to my lock screen. Sometimes, waking and locking the phone also lags.
Am I the only one experiencing this? Or is there more people that experience what I'm going through?

i have exactly the same problems 5.1.1 is not bug free at all and public wifi at my school doesnt work with 5.1.1 touchwiz but AOSP 5.1.1 ROM doesnt have any of that problems so i think samsung will realese some minor update in the future to fix all of this bugs.

That's strange, as honestly, in the last hours since I installed 5.1.1 my Note 4 910C *finally* feels like the premium device experice I've been wanting.
I've loved the phone since I got it at launch, coming from a Galaxy S2, but it's only today that it absolutely flies. Zero lag. Fantastic RAM management. Ultra responsive across the board.
I didn't even do a factory reset after the install, which I almost always do ... just haven't felt the need and since its running so beautifully right now I don't want to mess with it.
5.1.1 has been the single best update in its lifespan thus far.

Find a solution to minimise this lag , i flashed the stock rom 5.0 after a factory reset then let the phone update to 5.1.1 OTA , the lag not go away but at least it minimised

hi guys.. just update my note 4 SM-N910F..
i used odin to flash.. i had lag after that so i wiped the cache partition.. nothing else..
it got really better.. lag now is almost unnoticeable.. hope this helps..

Wipe cache partition. Disable fingerprint. Everything will be alright. There will be less to none lag. Tested, and works for me.

(Q) serious lag when updating apps

Help, i've had my Note 3 just about a month now and ever since I've had it I get seriously bad lag when I'm updating apps from Play Store.
It's that bad that if I update all apps and there are 3/4 apps I have to wait until they are done otherwise the phone gets that laggy I can't do anything.
I haven't done a reset but I'm thinking I probably will need too, unless anyone else knows what it could be?
Thanks

Happens to me, I don't really care for it because it only updates on WiFi. My phone gets stuttery when it installs the update more than when it is downloading. Also to note, it's recurrent on 4.3 and 4.4.2.

Doing a reset won't solve the issue, it's more that the system is focused on getting the install to be quickly and painlessly finished and causes other processes to slow down due to CPU demand changes. I'm running a custom ROM and kernel and still get these problems, and before I was on stock 4.3 so I can confirm it's not your hardware or personal configuration issue.
Also when your launcher lags, it's due to the fact that you're on the launcher but it has to do a live app removal from the drawer and then reinsertion of the app.

Thanks for that explanation, that does make sense now, however coming from previous phones (Sony Z1 and HTC One) these never had that issue and the Note 3 is more powerful, im a bit confused. So basically it's Samsung's software that's the cause?

I noticed something on my TMob Note 3, I have Lookout security pre-installed and I see slight improvement if it is not scanning apps after every install and if it is disabled. Can someone check if you are seeing any improvements without Lookout Security or is it just my placebo?
Also, the Lookout backup upload slows both my phone and the internet. Any idea why that is happening? Is it uploading everything again and again or just the changes?

My other Samsung phones don't have anything installed and still lags.
However, I do have some security apps installed to check for viruses, but the thing is, it only checks after the app is installed, not during install, and the lag spikes in only during the install and not after.
I use Avast Mobile Security to scan my apps.

Highly unlikely. As I said before, it happened on all of my Samsung devices, so it's got to be something to do with TW.
Happened on the Galaxy Note 1, 2, 2LTE, 3. Galaxy S2, S3.
Also happened to me on my legacy/low level devices such as Galaxy Y and W.

KitKat is fast, but when you update like 10 apps at the same time and your internet is blazing fast, it just get's it's slow time
I never had this issue. I could use my phone with no stuttering when updating apps, even if it was apps big in size.
Though it was another story on my S3.

As a TF700t owner I haven't noticed any lag from updating apps on the Note 3....but that's most likely because I'm used to a device that becomes entirely useless when updating apps (or doing anything in the background, really) because of an I/O issue...
Devices will always get a bit sluggish when updating apps, as they need to access multiple system and app files.

Hello Maverick,
I own a note 2 and m on unroofed stock ROM 4.3.. However I am also facing the same issue from quite a time..I tried booting in safe mode, booting without the external SD card, cleaned cache from the recovery, regular cache and jink files cleaning from CleanMaster app, uninstalled antivirus app, stopped Power Saving mode but to no results.. It's driving me craazy!!
However I would like to bring one thing to your attention. The phone does not lag while downloading the app from play store but lags when the app is being actually updates ie. Installed to the device! I don't know if its the same case with you all..
M still hunting for a solution.. Donshare a solution here if anyone of u finds one

Nexus 7 running super slow.. Think a clean 5.0 may help?

Have had my n7 since they came out (32g WiFi) and love it.. Lately she's been running real slow. (Official cm11).. If I do a full FULL wipe and drop an official 5.0.0 image on it, think that will help get some performance back? I know the internal memory type is a big limitation, any way to format it and maybe clean or speed it up?
(I've done the usual, wrote and reflash, open space, stop apps at startup, speed up tricks...)
Thanks..

A full wipe would more than likely help right now. Although with 5.0 a few weeks away, its best to wait until then. You could flash the official 5.0 factory images once they're up, or someone's bound to make a stock rooted 5.0 ROM also.
If you can't wait you could try experimenting with the f2fs formatting, there's a how to thread and a good selection of compatible ROMs available. In haven't tried it personally but most users seem to notice significant improvements on their N7.
I would suggest to install a diagnostic app like diagnosis by darken and read a report of how apps eat your cpu/ram instead of going the process of backuping and formating.
From my experience apps which slow a device
Facebook
Viber
WhatsApp
And most of the messaging apps.
A clean install of any Android version would help. ?
I would suggest using a cleaning tool like SD Maid by Darken and formatting your Cache/Dalvik Cache.

I recommend the Facebook app below, its based on the browser version and it a hundred times lighter than the official app. Doesn't have access to the permissions (basically everything) that the official fb app has either which is better.

Unsubscribed from fb beta right now because it was making problem on my htc one aswell... Fixed problems on the HTC, but the nexus...still no go. Sometimes it works...normally (my HTC is faster, but is not horribly slower) but then I looses it all and starts lagging so badly I put it down and dont use it for 2hours, and then it's okay again...

Same problems here. I have hangups amounting to tens of seconds doing what used to be otherwise instantaneous actions when the tablet was new.
The question; is this performance degradation related to component aging or software-related? Our N7s are more or less out of 1yr warranty now and I am wondering whether there will be any traction with ASUS about a flaw which was present at purchase? Components crap out of the door outlasts a claim on fault developments in the wild.

2 things. A bloated system and cache will slow things down. And for me... My N7 seems slower every time I upgrade my phone. Lol
Wipe it clean and start again with fresh stock install. ?
Hardware doesn't slow down. It works, or doesn't work... Or can work intermittently if it's damaged. But not just slower.

Then go to the last version that was fast? Or a good custom rom?
My point was and is... Hardware doesn't slow down. It may break or become erratic.. But not slower.
So the issue is on the software side. ?

I never liked kit Kat either on my N7...its still running stock, rooted 4.2.2. Smooth and snappy. ?
How does google even thing about putting out something that's so slow?
Are they desperately wanting us to switch to the nexus 9?
This is my last tablet I ever bought.
So anyone has 5.0.2 allready?
I have it. I see no difference. The tab freezes for about a minute sometimes when using chrome. Dolphin is even worse. So most of the time i get these freeze ups and the whole tablet becomes unresponsive.
Anyone else?

Weird lag experience on the phone.

Anyone experiencing weird lag on the note4?
I bought two note4 for my lines since one was to be given to father. I rooted both phones on the same day of purchase. I realized that for my phone, I'm experiencing some weird lag moments. Sometimes I would type fast enough to finish the sentence but the keys don't register until a few seconds later. Sometimes scrolling through a page, it would stop and wouldn't move until a few seconds later.
I'm hoping that this is just software issue. Can't wait til we have a custom recovery and rom to flash.

Have you updated yet? While I don't have my Note yet, I have read that the update increases battery life, and also fixes lag issues.
Did you install xposed and wanam?

If I buy a new phone I would use it until the warranty expires.

LAGGING everywhere on Build KTU84P N910FXXU1ANIE
Loving my Note 4... but
IT IS VERY LAGGY!!!
As it is, this incredible phone is completely spoiled by a jerky experience, and this is using Google Apps which are usually very smooth, like Play Store, Gmail, Hangouts, Google Plus, and other well made apps like Pulse and Facebook... all usually very smooth, but not with the Note4 I got yesterday. My nexus 5 was much smoother, with a much slower processor.
Do any of you in the UK have the update yet, I have not had it yet?
Cheers

You guys should read the "root and what works" thread, because this was already solved. Wanam causes a conflict with Shealth and you have to go into Wanam, security hacks, disable secure storage. then go to settings/apps and clear s health data and cache and then reboot I've done this on the latest update, and now have no lag issues

Also I would appreciate what factory ROM has 'served' me, and I would actually use the warranty given for hardware repairs since I'm a clumsy person.
English is not my first language so where do you mean 'sarcastic'?
Sorry.

Ah yes, the ability to search and read has been getting worse and worse.
I'm also getting random lag, even before root, xposed and wanam. Seems to be the same as the s4, s5 and note 2 previously. Once custom kernels are out with better scheduling, it should be remedied.

My phone is not rooted yet... if it cannot work without lag with the stock rom, I will not keep it and it will go back to EE... so I am hoping the update comes very soon. I suggest everyone who has just got their Note 4 does NOT root it until they are satisfied it works as well as they expect it to... it's a lot of money and you have the right to return it within 2 weeks if ordered online (in the UK/EU).

This is the United States.. If I don't like the phone, even rooted... I can return it.. If they don't let me, just file a credit card claim. I paid the phone, I own it.. I can do whatever I want to the software.
I hate it when people jump in scared of Knox or voiding warranty.

Will check it out.. I don't even use s-health so I didn't think this was the issue.
No lag here
Mine is VERY laggy, throughout all the menus in comaprison to my note3, running cm11 or hyperdrive.
I have xposed (which I think is the main issue, but I need it to run xprivacy), nova, the new firmware update, its rooted (post update) and wanam installed in order to get shealth working.
The phone itself is great, but the over all software implementation is pretty poor. No way a device from a major manufacturer, should be outdone in responsiveness by some AWESOME hobbyists.
With the same setup, as my note3 (side by side), screens change slower, scrolling is slower, and apps open a tad slower. The overall experience is just no where near as smooth as quick.
Now I am comparing 1yr of ROM development (hyper and temasek) vs a 2day release(stock note4), so of course some tweaks need to be made.
If you have a note3 rooted, might want to wait a few weeks before dropping $750.
Also I had to manually up the core speed to 2.7 in faux clock, mine was set at 2.3 for some reason.
The screen is AWESOME, the speaker is surprisingly nice, build quality and feel are top notch (no gaps, or peeling paint, or loose buttons!!!), and the camera really is nice upgrade that I didn't expect I would be happy about.
I only get 42,921 on antutu, which was what I get on my note3 at 2.3ghz ( not over clocked)
That's pretty bad overall performance out the box IMO.
Disabled a lot for me to get rid of the lag. Tons of background apps. Buy main resource hog is the tmobile apps

Very fast and smooth. Don't like the colors. Custom romz based on LP should really fly. Can't wait.

Love it. Seems a little buggy occasionally, slows down or apps crash. I may do a backup and factory reset/restore and see if that's better.
When it's not slowing down it's very snappy. Notifications are awesome.
I wish lockscreen notifications were a little more customizable. Only options available are:
Show all content
Hide Sensitive Content
Do not show notifications
What's missing is one that should say, "Do not show persistent notifications" For instance, I use copy bubble and sprint direct connect which are always in my notification panel. I had to turn that off or it will always show up on my lock screen.
I can't attest to touchwiz, I looked at it for a moment and then went back to Nova.

I like that it's smoother, but for a second i thought my update had reverted. I was hoping it had a more lollipop look, but i guess i can't complain.
As for the recents app, it's not as instant as i would like it to be , but that's fine too. I wish xposed worked because this DPI is driving me crazy, it's so ****ing big!.
overall i like it more than kitkat, just because it's lollipop and buttery smooth. Customization should come soon, so I will just to wait patiently.
Battery life is horrible! I hope I can go back to kk without issues. Did this update radio?

Mine seems pretty good. I've been using it checking it out all day.
Have you cleared the cache and restarted afterwards?
The update/upgrade was not running smooth. Jerky screen, some apps crashing. Then I did factory reset and reinstalled my apps fresh. Now it is very responsive.
The only thing I can't figure out is why my pictures in /storage/extSdCard/DCIM/Camera/ are not visible in the Gallery app. New pictures taken with the camera are saved in that same directory and are visible, but not the old ones. They are visible however in a file explorer.
In fact none of the media files on my extSdCard are visible in Gallery or Video. They are only visible in a file explorer.
Otherwise I like it....even the weird colors.
To get the Gallery to see the old photos and videos, I created new empty folders using a file manager then copied the photo/video contents of the old folders into the new empty folders.
so far so good on my end... I did a hard reset after the update and have yet to experience any bugs, lags, or force closes. I use the Google Now Launcher and the new animations look great. Can't speak for battery life yet as I just updated this morning but I'm not too worried as the Note 4 has always been great.
I did notice when I was initially on TouchWiz the status bar had a gradient tint to it... anyone else seeing this? It had always been fully transparent before
My battery life seems better with lollipop. I love the new colors in messaging. And i can't remember but the keyboard seems different. I like it a lot more the letters seem spaced out a little further and makes it easier to type.

Mines decent
It's like having a new phone. It's just that smooth. Samsung should be proud of their work.
OTOH, I love the new colors during the day, but at night it would be awesome to have a blacked out color scheme.
Agree with someone else's comment that it feels like an entirely new phone (even though Kitkat wasn't that bad).
Havent had it long enough to test battery life. Do wish there was the ability to swipe between tabs like the dialer and the ability to remove persistent notifications.
Lollipop FTW

Yup. Seems like a new phone. Better memory management and faster. Very smooth.
Really amazing and smooth.

I would suggest the data reset option. I was having similar crash/slowness
So I uberwiped the phone in TWRP, then ODIN back to NK2 KK, upgraded OTA to L, did another factory data reset, then set up phone/rooted/installed TWRP. Phone is wayyyy faster and more responsive and zero crashes now
I scored a 52408 on ANTUTU benchmark with a stock rom and kernel.
Can not wait for custom LP roms, this phone will be killer at that point

Try a data reset, I had simlar issues and now they seem to be gone
You have to remember, the OTA update was over 1GB (compressed) and it completely rewrote the phones memory AND changed the run time to ART. You should probably expect some issues

Thanks, backing up my internal storage now and getting ready to wipe and clean install.
LP... sorry I can not wait for a way to change all the flipping colors... had to be designed by a woman.
Very snappy and smooth, but only after I wiped data and restored my apps via titanium.
Can't opine on battery use yet, I've been using the phone like crazy.

That's what I'm sayin! I haven't taken the ota yet. I'm just kicking back listening to user coments on the ota. My plan is to stay on my KK rom until I finish a dark themed Lolipop version. I'm not a fan of all this white and funny looking pastels.

Basically same here. Not updating till kernels are equally as far as kk, can theme some, and exposed works. I'm just fine on Xnote rc2 with AEL 7.2 kernel.

Zenfone 2,Android 6 official ... reviews and bugs

Hi there
Lets talk about our experience after the MM update.
Me first...the system is smooth...
I think there s battery improvement(little)....maybe I feel wrong.
Three bugs...1.my approximity sensor was not always working properly...after the hard factory reset,I ve not seen that bug any more....2.google messenger does not have the new message notification on its icon....3.chrome address bar is sometimes not reachable(when some page is oper,I cannot click on the address to edit it,I have to make a new tab
Update
Another bug... wile incoming calls,sometimes the phone cannot take data from contacts....it starts with number,after some seconds,it shows the name of the contact
Bug on ZE550ML/Z008
Hi,
I did the update to MM 2 days ago.
First by just updating: very smooth, battery not really improved, even with doze, as my phone had already an excellent battery life in LL (2 days "normal" use) BUT:crying: got 2 freeze, no way to power off except by holding down power button at least 10s.
Then, I did a factory reset from MM and re-installed all my app with titanium backup.
Still smooth BUT 1 freeze again after some hours.:crying::crying:
I already got those freeze when testing the beta. So still not solve
Back to LL for me as it was extraordinary stable for me.
Thanks for feedback guys. I hope you report all of these to Asus to let them the chance to fix those bugs.

The addition of Facebook app let alone the Facebook messenger to a devices System which had/keeps having horrible battery life reviews is crazy. System apps can launch themselves, they will be never "patched" (less downloaded bytes) and God forbid, if a major security issue happens in that application, it will have very bad consequences as users _hate_ updating things.
I am waiting for first meaningful, suitable for daily use Cyanogenmod releases with the MM kernel and I am off to Cyanogenmod. If I buy another device, it will be stock Google Android, will never touch anything which has a BYTE changed from stock Android.
Returned back to stock .184 from AICP using shakalaca's pre-rooted image, then updated to
.194 using full firmware zip that pushed into internal memory, then updated again to MM .134 using the same method, and finally did a factory reset; everything works so far for me. Disabled a lot of junks and no problems.

You could disable startup for these apps thanks to Asus' own auto-start feature. Or, if you hate it, you could disable it at anytime. (I disabled Facebook and Instagram app, but leave Messenger enabled because I've some importance over it)

You need to manually give notification access to Messenger app via Unread counts badge preferences on ZenUI Launcher for the badge to shown properly.

Thanks krasCGQ,the messenger is now ok
The launcher is still V2
Is there any advantage on updating to V3?(performance,battery,etc)

Very smooth, none of the slowdowns that I used to get on L from RAM management / memory leak issues. Haven't encountered any bug yet except for being unable to factory reset, which always fails when it goes into recovery and tries to erase user data.

hmmm,i've seen a guy here saying that he did got back to LL from the last MM coz he had some freeze issues,well,i have no idea what the hell u had installed on your phone that coused that,for sure it has to be an app that cause that issue,not the OS itself,many do talk and have no idea of what they r talking about,first of all after u install a new version,make a factory reset,after that,stop doing a recovery from that titan whatever is name and install the apps 1 by 1 and find out the 1 that causes that issue,don't blame the OS coz u don't know what are you doing or using,yes it runs very smooth and faster,i dunno why some do say that they don't see improvements on battery,did u thought that all you have installed on your phone is causing that ? to many apps using internet (facebook,instagram,buzz,games etc) ? all the internet use make battery run down very fast in case u didn't know,another yes,the new firmware comes with lot of bull****s app,like facebook,messenger,that crappy useless manger that claims to kill apps for more memmory (actually it is just a theory claim,not actual thing that it does,i can give an explanation to that),iread and i think a few more that i never used and never will,but yes,u can very easy deactivate them,which i always dowith all i hate,which i really think they should be optinal apps to download from google play,not to come by force preinstalled,i do use the phone pretty much,and just normal on internet,those parts do make battery go down pretty fast,but in standby...2 days easy,in 8 hours (night) standby it only droped the battery down 3%,i doubt it was the case in LL
Feels fine, despite possible OS problems (Android draws most of battery). Anyway, a better experinece.
BTW - Just seen that this is a 32bit MM 6.0.1. How can the system utilize full 4GB of RAM?
Any sensor is working for me. I did a clean installation, flashing last LL firmware. Than I put MM firmware on internal storage.
MM is working fine and smooth. But no one sensor is working.
Another app

I don't know where you got the idea that a system app wont get updates. Facebook will still get updated through the play store just like any other app.
