FIX--> Block MMS Using New Samsung APK From Here

Do not know when we will get a fix from Samsung / Google.
Try to avoid audio / video preview on your device until then.
(Prevention is better than cure).

Samsung is slow. You're better of with custom roms if you want latest updates and security fixes.

[Q] How to fix the Recent App cards lag/jitter issue in GTI9500 Lollipop ?

I have started seeing the following issues in my S4 GTi9500 (India firmware - I9500XXUHOC1) :
1. Long press Home button to access recent app cards has become too slow to repond when there are lot of app cards in there. [I have S voice disabled]. It is comparatively faster when there are maximum 3 or 4 recent app cards.
2. Scrolling through the recent app cards is too laggy and jittery like a video game running at only 10 fps.
phone has all the updates installed. Also the latest incremental update that was release a few days ago.I thought it would fix the issue but it did not.
What i have already tried :
1. Cache clear.
2. Factory reset.
3. clearing some phone storage.
NONE of this helped
Questions:
1. Are any of you also facing this issue on GTI9500? I have checked a nexus 5 and on it the recent app cards work flawlessly.
2 I have only updated using OTA. Would it help if I download the firmware from Sammobile and then use Odin to flash it again( I tried this for kitkat once, at that time was facing some issue with lock screen but it did not help.). So can flashing using Odin get rid of the issues?
3. I am pretty tired of samsung's updates so is there any stable CM lollipop available for GTI9500 exynos version? If npot is there any stable Kitkat build availabe? Please post the links if yes.
ANY solution to this problem would be appreciated. Tired of Samsung updates
it 's a known bug maybe in next update this issue will be solved
I've got the same issue on my i9505. So it's a common problem, I hope they will solve it soon

FYI - I am based in the UK and my Note 8.0 has very surprisingly updated to 4.4.2 - first update in ages and very odd that it should be Kitkat and not something more up to date.
IMO, i am happy with each update of kitkat. Since the end of jelly bean, google has bollocks upped with each version.
Finally after a few years trying to get kitkat just right, I am able to. Now with the latest update, I am sure the few issues I still deal with will be corrected and finally have a smooth kitkat.
Can't say that for LP, MM, and New-guts. New is not better IMO if it is wonky and filled with security flaws. Plus I don't see any improvement across the board over kitkat. Kinda like do peeps like dealing with cheeky google? I just don't understand them, as much as they don't understand me. HA!
I didn't think about how long these file hosts take... so I recommend to use SamFirm to download your firmware. It is fairly new, and I suggest searching online for sites to assist with setup and function before finding a download. That is why i do not have a link or have posted a download attachment.
Small list of still active vulnerabilites after being fully tested.
Media server, Serialization, and stock browser.
I assume we may see another release of updated kitkat firmware late next year.
It does not bother me, having only two issues active. As for stock browser, who uses it anyway? I don't!
Why are you so happy with a 4.4.2 release of kit kat? Our Note 8.0's could easily handle Nougat...Right? So... help me understand, Why I with an ATT sgh-i467 should be content with my update, but not upgrade to something more.

If you're really dependant on your Note 8, you could upgrade to a Tab A with S Pen. These are currently running 6.0.1. I doubt it'll get Nougat, but maybe Samsung will release the S3 in a 8" form factor...

Because It works, no issues, and not effected by security issues since LP.
Also I have customised my 4.4.2 to be more robust like a tab 4, without relying on a customized build with issues.
So far I am the only one with a truly functional customised firmware that I am happy with.

Any chance you would be willing to share the firmware?

I can't due to limits placed by ROM developers. As i had to mix 5 different ROMs to obtain what I have.
You can get a nice look by using the system ui. Though to get chrome to close when its tab closes, stock S5 libs have chrome customisations lib and some chrome cast drivers.
Plus some system apps to make gallery more robust.
I gave up on spen menu, as it did not bring much versatility since I removed stock browser because of it being unsecured with malicious scripts, and scrap book with smart clip just eat too much resources for what they are.
Can't remember which ROM I grabbed a cool one off flashbarservice app. The drawer is like the jelly bean version with a pull out tab and single row. Plus the short cuts are mini.
Using the tab 4 touchwiz and keyboard (that has left and right cursor control), though you loose automatic handwriting mode when spen is detached. It now becomes manually switched with the settings key.
I swapped out a secsettings app to allow access to default applications, as Samsung killed it in 4.4.2 for Note 8.0.
I enabled color blind, interaction control, grey scale, and accessibility shortcut menu. Though I can't have the shortcut menu activate or deactivate without a reboot.
Though the i467 has the features in the stock ROM, so obtaining the latest AT&T ROM, you can copy the system apps to allow some cool accessibility features developers over looked.
If I had permissions to allow copying and distributing custom apps and a few custom libs, i would as a complete ROM. But that is only half of it. I am not an android developer, and have no tools to properly create a flashable ROM to distribute.

new recent OTA update - Dec2020 - N910VVRU2CTI1

Does anyone know what's new in N910VVRU2CTI1? (the latest OTA the Verizon pushed on Dec2020)
what was updated? and any details?
Verizon says that it "improves the performance of your device." .. does it? and how?
Probably security
I'm curious about it too. Couldn't believe there was an actual update of any kind for Verizon note 4. Probably just a security update as person above mentioned. Have I noticed better performance? Maybe?
