[Q] lagging S4

I am not so much of a noob but just don't really know where to put this. Srry for any inconvenience in advance.
The problem is that I have a GT-I9505. Tried to root it a while ago but only thing I got was a flagged binary. ( gonna fix that btw soon ) But since KitKat and some updates from all of my apps, my phone is lagging. It waits several seconds to open any app. If I am typing the letters appear about 3 seconds after I types them. This goes espescially for Whatsapp. And no I don't use beta, just the latest version.
I would understand this happening to me because my phone is slightly altered. But my girlfriend has exactly the same problem but the phone is untouched.
So my question is: Has anyone experienced the same problem of lagging? And if so is there anything I can do about it except for a factory reset?
grtz in advance Maverick ®
ps the lagging gets worse when I load the battery. Either on normal power or hooked up to my laptop of pc

I had it when my battery was damaged. Try to see if a new battery helps.

Tnx 4 the reply, I guess it is worth the trying although I find it curious that both phones experience those symptoms after the kitkat update touched or untouched.. But I will keep it in mind tnx again

What you could do first is to backup and then a factory reset. Then its easier to rule out some software problem.

^This. You can also try updating to the latest firmware 4.4.2 (it has 2 updates: the one updating to 4.4.2 and the other one for performance and stability). I noticed that I was lagging like crazy when I was still on 4.3, but when I updated to 4.4.2, the lag just went away.

I am on 4.4.2. Doing a factory reset now so fingers crossed. Also noticed that the lag is strongest in WhatsApp

Software Version 10M Discussion Thread

Hey all,
Feel free to use this thread to discuss the recent V10m-OCT-14 Software Update for the G3. I have just received it on my International D855 Model.
Listed enhancements are:
- Apps
This update is 180MB if coming from the other latest update, v10l. You can download this update by going to your Update Center, Software Update. Or, your G3 might have already downloaded it OTA.
Personally, I find a bit more battery life, and more responsiveness coming from v10l, feel free to share your individual experiences with this update here!

Battery life is better than 10L, but it's only one day used. Will see how is in the next few days

Just installed it and rooted it with PD...works fine at the moment, downloading music from spotify and such, let's see how it behaves in a few days time. V10L still had the noises while charging...expecting 10m to have the same issue.

Any KDZ File?
Thank's

Bump! works with this?

A few hours of usage 10M seems on par with 10L, same performance noting special. Guess we will have to see, the newer kernel build date suggests that some tweaks and updates are present and we are always grateful for tweaks

:good: Cool. I can't wait OTA.

@ Mr Bo
Thank's , flash in progress.

Does this update resolves the "Hissing and buzzing sound with headset/AUX" issue ?

Still don't see the M for my IMEI / Region (India) yet. Waiting !

Hissing noise is likely to be hardware so don't hold your breath for a software fix. They obviously didn't adequately shield headphone socket from the charging/battery.

Blimey, I only just got around to flashing v10L.

Is there a way to install the OTA update for someone who has TWRP recovery installed without getting stuck inn the recovery on reboot ? Fortunately, there is a fix to get out of the recovery but the OTA doesn't install when returning back to system.

I can cancel this issue with some tricks (USB or call trick). The G2 did have this issue with kk4.4.2 ant it was resolved with the 4.4.4. So i m still waiting an update or an aosp rom.

I'd like to know this as well.

Tried this?
That's how I install L. Worked fine, just lost root (which TWRP fixed), DPI was changed back to stock (I fixed that) and it reinstalled a little bloatware (McAfee) which Titanium took care of.
That is, of course, if you can get the KDZ.

I can't see any serious difference after weeks of using ".i" version... always flashing with CSE option.
phone works great, very smooth, battery life for around 5-6h of screen awake

[Q] note 3 camera issue

I purchased a pre owned Note 3 from C-ex and the camera is not working, when u select camera it is a black screen with the camera icons tho, the icons are not responsive and after a while it says camera is not working. the man in shop where I purchased it from said they believe it worked fine before 4.4.2 update and only stopped working after this update.
anyone have any solutions for this so I can possibly get camera working

how would I do that and will that fix camera

I guess it's stock, non rooted and it was updated trough ota ?
A factory reset would be good.

You've got some reading to do. Look for the stickies at the top of forums - usually there's a guide there for how to do basic stuff with your phone. First thing would be to find out how to use Odin (software on your PC) to flash the software for your phone. You can get the latest release for your specific phone from sammobile,com - they have the firmware listed. You will need to sign up but it's free.
You will need to DL the samsung USB drivers and install them on your PC.
Then you use Download mode to connect your phone to the computer and flash the firmware. When it's finished you have a as-new phone set up.
If the camera doesn't work then there is something wrong with it.
Feel free to ask, but make sure you do your research. XDA'ers help them who helps themselves.

N910T3 (and other variants) 5.1.1 Fingerprint Scanner unlock bug - Calling Devs

There seems to be a bug in 5.1.1 that for sure affects the N910T3 that comes with 5.1.1 and the Sprint Note 4 that has 5.1.1. It may or may not affect the N910T using ROMS based on the T3 5.1.1.
That is where my request comes in. For one I would like to get some feedback from users that use the fingerprint unlock.
To briefly describe the bug: The bug occurs when a user sets the unlock method of the phone to fingerprint. The bug will cause the phone to randomly lock in the middle of use. For example one could be texting someone and randomly the phone freezes, shows the wall paper will nothing on it, and then the phone locks.
The only solution to resolve the problem as of now is to not use the fingerprint unlock method. This clearly is not an acceptable solution.
At first I thought there was something wrong with the T3 and was posting on here to find the answer but I recently discovered that other Note 4 variants that received the 5.1.1 like the Sprint version also face the same exact issue.
So Devs with a T3 or a similar variant (one officially on 5.1.1) could you please help investigate this? I cant help but think perhaps one could find a solution to this bug by replacing something. Perhaps its impossible and we must wait for an official bug fix FW but one can hope.
Thanks!

bump

Samsung has already released a patch for this issue but I'm pretty sure its only for the N910F. It was like a 60 MB update

Where did you see this info?

Had The Same Issue on 910T3
I has the same isssue u have to go to find my mobile website
and sign in with your samsung account to unlock your phone. PS: this will only work if remote controls are turn on in your settings already.

UPDATE: Sprint released a 5.1.1 version update that has fixed this issue. From what freeza said the file size is small and the changes are minimal.
Could a ROM guru take a look at the source of DOG1 and the new n910TP firmware and figure out how to fix it?
So many people would be grateful and happy to get these 5.1.1 bugs fixed in the DOG1 base.

This is resolved with DOK2 and the thread can be closed.

My screen flickering used to appear when i set the brightness level to the lowest and it used to appear only in places where the white color is dominant that's it mostly with pictures and when i open one of drawing apps because the canvas is white to make that stops i tried to set the brightness to a bit higher level and yeah the flickering stopped but i can't do that all the day because of the battery.
It doesn't appear in the download mode or anywhere else it's just mostly where all the screen is white funny thing is if you did a screenshot the flickering won't appear
So i downgraded to lollipop i can hardly see a flickering i bet even if it was there it's not noticeable
