Strange "Froyo" Quirks... Already!

Installed the "official" update that was hosted on Google's servers, which worked like a charm... but...
The camera won't boot up? The phone doesn't seem to be running any faster thus far, even after moving all possible applications to the SD card. Also, the gallery shows no images.
When I hold down the camera button, or select the camera application, the phone vibrates once (to tell you the camera's booting up), the screen turns black, vibrates three times quickly, and flashes the force close screen instantaneously and returns to the home screen.
Hmmm....

I almost forgot to add: I still have the Touchwiz default issue, that is, the OS prompting me to set a default every so often when I hit the home button. I think I might have to wipe the phone.

I had similar problems so I wiped and did a clean install with Odin and now it works great!

weatherbug elite widget
i like the weatherbug elite app and widget, and for some reason the widget will not appear at all, since i updated.

I am in the process of backing up my stuff to do a factory reset to see if that solves the problem. I was waiting until this update was released before rooting. Is there an OCLF for this update?

i would suggest odining back to DI18 then odining http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853209 see if this fixes your problems, i have 0 bugs with DK28.

After the factory reset, everything is working okay. I noticed that some of the prompts have strange translations, particularly when accessing the Firmware Updater under the Camera's setting menu: "It will occur additional fee. Will you continue?" The functionality is debatable at this point considering it runs into an error upon updating. Hm.
I will try Odin some other time when I have a few hours to brush up on flashing. I am not very familiar with hacking mobile phones in general, so I want to be better acquainted with the process before I dive into it. But a lag fix and bloatware delete are certainly in this phone's future!

Browser is really buggy for me. It takes up 70MB of RAM on start up and has the terrible checker boards effect.
GPS works perfectly for me on DK17 and 28.
However, it may be that I restored my data partition from a backup I made from DK17. I'll try running a factory reset and we'll see what happens.

I've noticed that when using on screen keyboard for a quick seach online, the on screen keyboard will not go away when pressing the back button sometimes. Anyone else?

I've still had some issues with the back button being unresponsive, perhaps to a lesser extent since Froyo, but I have gotten so used to it I can hardly acknowledge the problem based on recollection of testing the phone.
However, I noticed the Quadrant scores are very disappointing in both my own test and in user comments. I can't wait to root and lagfix this thing.
In addition, the physical keyboard still drops letters at random. It seems to have gotten worse since the update.

I did the exact same thing, but flashed my old DG27 to get my initial GPS fix in maps, then ODINed the new one.
Clean installs work wonders.

You mean root and artificially increase your Quadrant scores for bragging rights? There is no lag fix on the epic. The only "lag fix" is a "game Quadrant scores" fix.

Charging paused Error
Battery Temperature too high.
The battery is low. Please Recharge the phone.
I got this crazy error when charged to full. I'll reset my battery in recovery and see if i get this crazy error again.

One thing I've noticed is the battery icon does not update battery life sometimes. If I reboot the phone, the battery life will jump from full to half a battery.

Anyone try the mediahub? It says an urgent update needs downloaded from the market before using it.... but when you click ok... it can't find the update in the market. Hmmm?
Also... .GPS is dead for me too.... even tried Odin'ing back to DI18 and then DK28.... but that method failed a miserable death.... still hoping for a newer release soon... this one is still BUGGY!

I've got the same error with MediaHub. Looking for a Froyo apk now.
GPS is working fine for me - I had a 100% stock 2.1 that I did update.zip to Froyo. I hadn't even installed any apps or even loaded up my Google account. Literally bought the phone, waited for provision, then updated to Froyo.

What version of Media Hub are you running? Mine is working fine.

Is it worth it to switch from kk to lollipop

I'm still on the fence about switching to lollipop. I know that Lollipop has ART which should make my edge run smoother and there are some additional changes with how notifications are handled on lock screen. Previously, I tried lollipop on my Note 3. I thought it was good but coming from the Tweaked rom I felt that it was still an overall downgrade. Even more so as I couldn't use Xposed. I really like Xposed modules like Unicon, SwipeBack2 and App Settings. Especially like App Settings cause it let me set up a tablet UI on some apps like mail which I prefer. Anyways, are there other features on lollipop that makes you happy you upgraded or do you feel like your Edge has turned to lollipoop?

LoL...Im in the same place as you Mscion. I just leaned a bit more towards doing it when I saw that Foreverloco posted a Deodexed version of Lolli but I feel same as you. I love xposed too and im not sure im ready to give it up yet. It doesn't look like xposed will work with Touchwiz any time soon either which is disappointing to say the least. A lot of my friends are saying they don't miss xposed much and don't regret going to Lolli. Maybe its time I sit down and learn to mod myself all of my favorite xposed mods if I can find the time that is. I think im going to pull the trigger today. Ill let you know my thoughts tonight after playing with Lolli for a bit. Sorry about the kernel M I never flashed I just couldn't find the time right now with my wife being sick and having to take care of the 3 rascals. Anyway im going to flash now and ill get back to you. Also cant you roll back to KK after flashing Lolli?

No worries. Looking forward to your comments on Lollipop!
EDIT: According to folks on these threads, it looks like you can downgrade back to kk via odin if needed.

Well the only thing holding me back is the tether mod. I really need that before i update. Also i updated my daughter's s3s from Jelly Bean to LP 5.1.1 cm12.1 and i love it as do they. Very smooth and battery is much better. Tonight im doing my wifes S5 also yo 5.1.1 Cm12. I wish we had Aosp toms for our edge.

Well, you're quite the home IT specialist! Aosp roms would definitely take care of the Xposed issue. I'm still going to wait a little till something pushes me over the edge like some combination of foreverloco's theme and custom rom. If Samsung releases its source code (I've actually requested it) and it looks like I can set SELinux=permissive in the kernel I may go ahead and update then.

Hey m.....lol trust me im far from any kind of specialist, just your run of the mill flashaholic and boy did i get my fix in last night and today. So i installed CM 10.1 on my tab, Cm 12.1/5.1.1 on my girls s3's and Cm 12.1.1/5.1.1 on my wifes s5. All 3 of them are unbeliavably happy with LP. The battery seems to be a drastic improvement especially on the s3s but still a bit earlly to judge comfortably. Now i will work on my sons N3 and update him to a CM build. Hes currently r7nning Tweaked of course. I decided to go with Aosp for them because they almost never use the TW options such as Multi windows, etc...After playing around with their phones LP really grew on me tremendously even though it was Aosp i was messimg with. I really wish there was an Aosp tom for our edge i thing i would def take that route. Anyway sry for the rant but i just stopped in to let you know that all this playing with Lollipop has swayed my decision and i will be updating my phone tonight.
Ill let you know how it goes. Wish me luck?

don't do it!!
I have had lollipop for just close to a week and everyday I see something I hate.
1. Fb notifications appear as overlays and not simple popups on the edge. This is also happening with google messenger. Now if this is a new feature that the apps themselves have implemented then I need to go back to the previous version. But as far as I can see my movies, youtube and whatever else I am doing gets covered up now. Not cool.
2.Battery life is horrid. Simply horrid. I am down an hour on standby time. More importantly, when I am at 20% or around there its lime I literally see the battery percentages tick by. No gradual anything anymore. I hate it.
3.My teathering icon in settings ig gone. Wtf?!? How do you remove that key setting completely?
There are other things but these are my top 3. Can someone direct mr to how I xan revert back to kit kat if possible. I have not rooted this phone but if I need to I will.

No one that I can see has tried going back to KK from LP on the Note Edge as far as I have been reading in the forums. These HERE are the ODIN files you will need to revert back to KitKat. As far as people have commented, it works for a NOTE 4 which is almost identical to the Edge except for the Edge part. This is ALL BASED on the assumption you have a GALAXY NOTE EDGE AT&T SM-N915A.
The instructions are fairly simple.
*BACKUP your phone via KIES
*Download the files for KK mentioned before.
*Download ODIN
*Once backed up, place your phone in "Download Mode"
*Connect your phone via USB
*Open ODIN with Administrative rights ( you will see your phone connected under a "COM" )
*From the above KK file, you will have extracted 4 files that starts with TWO letters, "AP_" , "BL_" , "CP_" , "CSC_"
*Pick the appropriate button in ODIN to load those files according to the corresponding letters.
*Only "Auto Reboot" and "F Reset Time" should be checked.
*Once all 4 files are loaded, you can hit start.
PLEASE REVIEW A FULL YOUTUBE VIDEO TO SEE HOW OTHERS HAVE DONE IT SO IT LOOKS FAMILIAR AFTER YOU DO IT, assuming its your first time since that is what it sounded like.

Did you try a factory reset? Some folks claim that helps with battery life.

Hi,
This is to inform those who have Note Edge on TTT ( Trinidad and Tobago) with baseband N915TUBU1AOA2, that I could successfully upgrade it to Lollipop using Odin and firmware from sammobile.com. I go through following steps :
#### Everyone told me not to do that since Firmware is not design for this baseband, I did it and now phone is great with Lolli with many customization*1, you can try it on your N915T on your own risk ####
1- Download Kies, install, and make a full backup
2- Make an image of phone storage
3- Download stock firmware for roll back :
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/42583/N915TUBU1AOA2_N915TUUB1AOA2_TTT/
4- Go through procedure in
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/46754/N915TUVU1BOD7_N915TTMB1BOD7_TMB/
After upgrade, it turns to a normal USA T-Mobile unlocked Lollipop phone
I also used the same procedure to root Lollipop after that and it finished successfully.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-edge/general/easy-steps-stock-odin-n915tuvu1anjl-sm-t2943993
*1 What you will see after upgrade to Lolli on Note Edge:
Pros:
>> Not any affect on your apks, settings, files ... any settings will be mapped to new setting options. Any app not compatible will be upgrade auto before first start.
>> Many customizations on notification panel, options to disable or prioritize notifications for each APK
>> Work smoother
>> New Edge pannels
>> Upgraded apks such as new S-health, ...
>> Ext SD Card access is granted by Lollipop, each app will take a One Time permission and then can access Ext SD (setting>>System>>Security>>Apps with usage access )
>> VPNs can be created without putting Password on lock screen, also Advanced and Simple IPSec VPN types added
Cons:
>> Some functions of Edge screen is gone ! Shutter button of Camera is not on the edge anymore, Incoming calls when you are working on an app is coming on both edge and screen causing distraction to your work, some notifications are coming on Edge and also on Screen at the same time
>> Some notification windows open without background (Transparent). It happens very few times and for System notification only. I have no problem with it but it's a bug.

Simple answer from me is no Lollipop is not worth it. I pretty much lost all my signal and data. It worked when it wanted to. I went back to KK with no issues now. Let's hope 5.0.2 or 5.1 is better.

I agree that Lollipop is not worth it and in fact, has made the phone worse, not better. Here are the issues I have since I have updated.
1. Phone does not work as well. I have to wait a few seconds upon answering to say hello, because I can't be heard right away.
2. Edge night clock no longer has the weather.
3. Emails take noticeably longer to load.
4. While talking on the phone, the screen does not always turn off.
I have had the Note Edge from the first day it came out and never had any of these problems before the update.

Ok. I added a poll to give this thread a more scientific quantitative basis

Im in between.
ON one hand i like what the updates have and how some things have been themed.
but then on the other hand, I can all go buggy real fast.
I have a few apps that just hang. some that crash ever once in a while.
I fix the crashing by wiping the app data, But i still get hangs and slow downs.
So its kinda hard for me to tell because when eveything works its great and i love the update.
But when it starts getting buggy i start to thing that i should of stayed on KK.

Dont have time to get into it but i love LP compared to KK. Only major thing that bugs me is i noticed when on wifi things sometimes take a while to load. Other than than great.

Have you tried the "unofficial" Xposed yet?

How are you enjoying Android N? It's a great software match for the hardware.

Since release 2 of the N dev preview, I've really been pretty impressed with the stability and features, especially multi-windows. I seem to use that on a daily basis, either referencing 1 window while I do something on another window, or just 1/2 watching some vid while I do something else. The size of the Pixel C seems to work well with the multi windows, I have the feature on my 6P rom but don't use it anywhere as much.
The quick tiles and notifications are also decent. Usually the very 1st thing I do id unlock and root, but I've felt no need to do so. The apps I use have all worked, I know some folks had issues with some.
Also, the OTA install was also excellent, as easy as it gets.
How are you all liking N?

I'm really getting on with it, too. I think the testament to the OS is that it seems a bit more intuitive. Much like you were saying about not rooting, I don't feel the need to with the Pixel C at this point.
I also enjoy the fluidity of the OS in comparison to MM, it just seems smoother.

Does the OTA update from stock 6.0 work?
Does it still wipe all data from the tablet?
thanks

I'm wracking my brain to try and remember if it wiped my data and I just can't remember. Sorry.
Here is what I did; I signed up for the dev beta, then took the upgrade more or less like an OTA from 6.0 and it worked great! No flashing, nothing. Heck I didn't even put in a custom recovery. It took a little to download and install. I just can't remember if it asked me to restore all my apps and I said yes or it was still there.
I'm pretty sure it would say something about deleting all your data, but again I'm just not remembering. If you get it, please come back and let us know.

The beta program wipes data completely. It is like a typical fullvwipe or in HTC terms, a RUU.

I think I didn't have a full wipe when I changed to N.

AFAIK the OTA doesn't wipe your data. Flashing via fastboot wipes. They also started releasing flashable zips beginning with Dev Prev 2, which also don't wipe. Idk if you can just flash that zip over Marshmallow.

as to the OP query, I like it a lot. I'm impressed by the options and, much more so, by the stability.

I needed to revert because mtp file transfer didn't work. Also every time I connected the tablet on adb it was immediately forcefully shutdown and couldn't start until I plugged the cable.
Other than that, I didn't find an option to enable usb tether....but then again I didn't find this option in marshmallow (afterwards)...what the **** google?
Oh and mtp is also extremely unreliable back on marshmallow. I don't know what the **** they did with this tablet. I believe I will jump on the next tablet bandwagon if I happen to see one....

OTA to Android N is non-disruptive. The way back is.
I have many issues with Android N but cannot go back because of the full wipe.
I hoped that I will be able to use non tablet apps in the half screen mode but that does not work. I am loosing sound when disconnecting headphones. Some apps crash. You Tube cannot specify quality setting, public wifi hot spot without Internet connectivity drains battery quickly.
I regret my decision of installing Android N.

There was way too many non compatible apps for my liking with N. Firefox would always crash, widgets wouldn't work with certain apps, I'd get random freezes, the Youtube app seemed jacked kinda, and overall...I thought the tablet seems LESS responsive. I switched back to MM.
Dude, all you have to do is back up all your data to Google (you can enable it in the Backup & Restore) Drive. When you opt out of the Beta it sends you an OTA file for MM. When it uninstalls N and reinstalls MM it literally finds the fact that you reset your tablet back to MM and re-installs everything for you. It worked flawlessly for me last night. Wasn't a pain in the butt in the slightest.

Actually at the end I reverted back to Android. You are right that all apps are automatically reinstalled however they are not configured, and you loose any local data.

I'm running Android N and want to use Smart Lock, but whenever I try setting Smart Lock or a trusted device, location, etc, it says I can't utilize Smart Lock because my device is encrypted. I've never setup encryption, and I can't remove encryption either. I can't even activate OK Google from any screen, and it's all because of the encryption. Is this a mandatory feature of Android N?

Has anyone got OK Google to work on all screens and lockscreen?

Google N is good but this is a preview issue so there's a fair few bugs within, e.g. YouTube crashing, low benchmark scores, dual screen having limited functionality and random error codes when opening apps.
I've reverted to MM and the process was super simple.
I'll wait for the third iteration and see if that irons out these issues, but N is very promising and I feel it'll really help release the potential of this tablet.

I just ordered my tablet and it shipped today. I was wondering if it is worth updating to Android N right away or stick with marshmallow

Stick with mm if u seek stability
Sent from my D6603 using Tapatalk

I'm enjoying it but where is the May stability update?

It worked well for me. Only real problem I had was app compatibility. Use it as a media device, so HBO GO, Hulu, TNT, etc crashing on me led me to revert. Can't wait for N to be finalized and apps to be made compatible with split screen.

anyone else experiencing freezing lately?

This is my second Ph-1 and it is starting to freeze multiple times a day. I read the previous post regarding Nova causing these issues, I am using the stock browser and so far, so smooth. I really dislike all the "whiteness" of stock and the lack of customization.. but it is worth it for a smooth experience.

Side loaded any apps?

I've experienced this issue lately. Yes I am using Nova as my daily driver. I just restarted the phone and issue went away. Hopefully it stays away. If it pops up again I'll report back.

I've had my phone for about a month now. I have had Nova loaded since day one but just recently have experienced the freezing and reboots. It is very random for sure. I may try a run without Nova if it happens much more.

Nope, nothing sideloaded...

I am using Pixel 2 launcher for over a month and I like it.

I've had crashing on Beta 2 quite a bit with Nova. OTAing to Beta 3 reduces the crashes to once a week using Nova, which is pretty okay.
It's usually when I try to unlock the phone or am in the middle of doing something that everything just times out and reboots :s

Still on nought and have noticed bout the past week or so have had 2 freez ups. I'm using nova also. Rooted with magisk and viper and a batt mod.

Wow... I've had my Ph1 for over a month, running Nova.(not rooted, don't feel the need to) .. and I've had no issues at all... I'll admit I can recall a few hiccups (nothing major) when I first received it, but after all the updates, mine is running top notch... I understand that this phone had a rough launch... and a butt load of updates... But I honestly can't complain about my experience....

Well I made it almost 8 days this time before it restarted on its own while sitting on my desk. I usually like to reboot my phones every so often but I wanted to see how long it would go this time. DARN lol!!!

I've had crashing on Beta 2 quite a bit with Nova. OTAing to Beta 3 reduces the crashes to once a week using Nova, which is pretty okay.
It's usually when I try to unlock the phone or am in the middle of doing something that everything just times out and reboots :s

Oreo beta 3 crashing often for me. Nova printer has been my launcher for a long time. Will try to uninstall it and run another launcher to see if that helps.

Tried Apex launcher and pixel launcher. No real difference. Phone is difficult to unlock. Takes a long time. System UI crashed. Oreo beta 3 seems overall buggy for me.
Is there a way to troubleshoot whether or not I could be having a hardware issue as opposed to a software issue?

Have you tried to factory reset and see how it acts? I have had no issues like that with OB3.

I've seen temporary freezes, like a 1-2 second delay but they're pretty rare. Not sure what some others are labeling a freeze. Does that mean 10 seconds, a minute, they need to reboot?

I've tried a factory reset and that didn't seem to resolve the problem at all. In fact, it seems like unlocking got slower after the reset. The only things outside the box I am doing is using the Google camera app, running an app called layout to hide the navigation keys, and running an ADB command that makes the screen slightly larger by moving the top parameters of the screen up closer to the notch at the top of the phone. I guess I can do another factory reset, restore my applications, but don't install Google Camera or make any adjustments to hide navigation keys or change screen size.
I may do that, or just wait for the official release of Oreo which I hope is soon!
If anything here sounds like a hardware issue, I would appreciate your thoughts. Thank you.

But what kind of freezes are you getting? Is it more like brief lag or a complete freeze? If so, what's the duration?

For example, when the phone has been sitting a few minutes I pick it up, touch the fingerprint sensor and get no feedback. The phone seems dead. I push the power button and nothing happens. I can do this several more times and then the phone may, or may not open. When it is working smoothly, I tapped the fingerprint sensor quickly and hear the"click" sound immediately. About 50% of the time this does not happen. If I had to estimate the amount of time it freezes or lags, it is certainly in excess of 10 seconds.
Many times I am forced to hold the power button down until it reboots.
In other cases, I may be in the middle of using the phone, it will start to lag and freeze, and then automatically reboot itself.

I'm on the beta 3 release and I'm not experiencing that at all. Fingerprint unlocks in under 1 seconds almost every time. You may want to try a clean install without your other "enhancements". Personally, I'd do that just to get some stability and/or reliability. That may also save you time once the 8.1 beta drops because if you can determine that's the culprit, you'll know not to install that stuff on the next beta.
Honestly, as finicky as this phone has been for some users, I wouldn't install anything other than normal apps from the Play Store. I'm really holding off on rooting until the 8.1 beta drops so I can still get the ota as soon as it's released. Then I'll start playing with custom ROM's, etc.
I've only had this for about a week, coming from a Pixel. Flashing that phone was the worst experience of my life, looking forward to trying it here.

Thanks. Good points. I'll take your advice and clean flash.

The phone is less than 6 months old, getting hard freezes. requires restart by holding power and vol down.
Happens almost everyday while watching youtube and trying to switch to any other application.

After the New Update Exynos Model (BUGS)

Hello Guys,
I am from India, I got the latest update attached screenshot.
I am facing few issues:-
The phone has become laggy in some departments such as:
1. The fingerprint mark stays on the screen after the screen unlocks.
2. Even after pressing the power button screen doesn't lock. The screen does black out but when I double tab on the screen it directly takes me to the home screen without showing the lockscree first. I am not using Google trusted location or devices to unlock without taking my fingerprint or face recognition.
3. When I try to dial a number it doesn't call at a single go, after pressing multiple times it calls the person whom I am trying to call. It looks very choppy as if the system responding to my commands little later.
4. Whenever I am trying to take the screenshot it doesn't take at a single go, after pressing multiple times the system recognises I am trying to take the screenshot and respond little later.
All the apps are working fine without any lags but the above said things are bothering me a lot.
I hope someone from XDA can assist me with this.
P.S.: I have tried to clear the cache from the boot screen. Also did a test on graphics from the same menu.

Thanks for your reply! I hope somebody facing similar problems has overcome and provide suggestions.
But Sammobile blog has also confirmed these issues.

II havent faced any of these issues post update.
Did you try doing a factory reset? If not, try the same if its not too much of an issue for you.

I have the same but I updated today over mobile data.
Came home and it started to behave like described above.
So I figured it is something with the updated WiFi drivers.
Switched off Wi-Fi and all seems fine now.

No I didn't do factory reset as I have checked from other forums that factory reset is not helping, the new update is broken.

Yes this trick is working.

Also one more question I don't know if it's my phone or everyone is facing this issue. Whenever I switch on VoLTE calls (Screenshot Attached) my phone temperature increases and battery drains.

Both, but i flashed the rom with Odin. I don`t realy like OTA`s tbh.

So, you're saying only the ppl that took the OTA are facing the issues? In that case i will probably try that then if the bug returns for me.
For now after switching WiFi On/Off for me it is gone.
Seen reports that plugging in the charger does the same.
Weird stuff indeed.
Also now i see a fellow Dutch, you by any change using Rabobank stuff (Wallet/App) with tripped KNOX and have no problems with it?

No, its possible that some users who do flash a rom with Odin could face some issues too but i personally don`t. I`am using the ABN bank app and i haven`t rooted for a long time now. I used to do it because of theming and getting updates/upgrades but nowadays i personaly don`t see a reason anymore to root anymore. So i can`t help you with your question.

I happened to flash "ASE5" build two ways :
1. First using ODIN 2 days back . Did a factory reset ,erased cache in recovery, reinstalled all apps & after setting them up:-
issues faced -> None.
2. Went back to previous "ASD5" build, downloaded the "ASE5 OTA" update and installed. Did a factory reset, erased cache in recovery, reinstalled all apps & after setting them up:-
issues faced so far -> None.
*One glitch I'm noticing from the beginning with "ASE5" :
When I click on my apps & games(playstore app>drop down menu on the left), it freezes for a split second while it takes into the main page. With all my effort, I could not fix it. (App cache cleaning only temporarily fixes this).

A split second delay bothers you? What apps are running in the background? Do you have the FaceBook app installed? How did you set your animations?

No it does not "bother"but is a step back in smoothness if that counts. It's a "difference" that I noticed since I was testing both builds back and forth for a comparison. Rest be assured that it's not related to apps installed and animations set.

Erase playstore cache and you won't even notice it for a while only to re-appear after sometime.
"Less noticiable" and "very much noticiable" in my usage in 1x & .5x respectively. In ASD5 build, this transition slips like a soap.
