Device occasionally stutters/unresponsive. Defective? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers

Ever since I first powered up the device and went through initial setup, I noticed there were moments where the device would stutter/hiccup and not respond for a split second. I did a factory reset and it still happens.
Anybody else having issues?

Not with the S7 itself, but I am getting a ton of scrolling lag on the chrome browser. Luckily the only thing that is lagging for me. Everything else is super fluid.
I AM using Nova launcher though. I hated stock S7 touchwiz launcher.

The only lag I've had is in package disabler pro scrolling through the list. No other apps are having issues for me. Might be worth returning/swapping out.

Yes, it's happening a lot in Chrome. Tinder too. It also happens every 5-10 seconds or so when using the Gear VR.
I too am using Nova.

Mine doesn't stutter or lag. If I were you I would swap it out.

Swapped my S7 and it's still choppy, but it seems to be dependent on the app and not the device. Not defective.

Same here, I got me first S7 edge on the 4th of March, then swap it out due to defective screen (white spot on lcd) few days ago and now can't play video from websites, videos will sound like in fast forward mode, specially Facebook

[Q] Stutter on home screen since 2.2

Since the 2.2 OTA update I've noticed a stutter when switching between screens on the home screen. The strange thing is I didn't notice it until after I did a hard reset. Initially it wasn't there until I reinstalled a couple of apps, so I'm assuming it was one of those. I believe it started after installing Dazzle. At any rate, has anyone else noticed the stutter in general?
I installed Launcher Pro Plus and quickly bought it when I realized how much smoother it is...so that solved my problem. I'm just wondering since I haven't seen anything about it.

I didnt install anything afterwards and mine does that... went to local Corporate VWZ store and he said his did this in beginning and now has stopped... but he was holding a milestone when telling me this as well.

Horrible Stutters and Freezes on New Replacement Device

I got a replacement device with stock rom recently and it suddenly started to experience stutters, lags and freezes frequently. For example, I'd be typing on the keyboard and suddenly everything stops responding. It happens in Chrome, randomly whenever I'm using the keyboard, and basically throughout the rom.
One solution is for me to wait 2 minutes and it might suddenly start responding. But the only sure solution that always works is for me to lock and unlock the device a few times (using the power button) and everything goes back to normal for two minutes until it lags and freezes again.
Thoughts anyone?
I had all the same previous apps on my previous Nexus 4 and had no problems....
RMA karma.......
........
These are tough to troubleshoot, but to narrow it down to hardware vs. software, I'd do a Factory Reset, and test, before signing into your Google Account and d/l'ing all your apps. If it works fine for a time/day, THEN sign in and only add a few apps (set Market auto update/restore off for the time being). Naturally do the apps your require daily first, and check stability for some time before adding back your 'fluff' apps. Often a poor app can be the culprit.
This happened to my nexus 7. I had it for about a month and i noiced that it started lagging really bad. Watching a video was just horrible and the responsiveness of it was bad. I just thought that it was a app or the custom rom i was running. I factory restored it and locked the bootloader and it still lagged. I just RMA'd it and i got a new one that was much better.

Actually the keyboard is screwed up too. In gesture typing it randomly draws lower on the keyboard than I'm actually drawing. I'm guessing that it is a hardware or touchscreen sensor problem. I did an RMA and Fido Asurion promised to have a replacement to me by July 3rd. The only problem is that they only seem to send out refurbished phones for RMA's.

Yeah..if it's acting up after a Factory Reset, then no amount of fiddling will solve it. Sorry man!

S7 Edge Back button issue

i bought a new S7 edge couple weeks back and i am facing one weird and random issue. Sometimes when I click Back button, I get the recent apps. However it is impossible to tell when and why it happens as this is total random. I tried to clear the cache and it didnt happened for entire day but again happened the next day. I am using Nova launcher, not sure if this has anything to do with it.
Please let me know if anyone have faced this issue and if there is any resolution to it..

It may be that Nova gestures come to play somehow....
Try using the stock Touchwiz for some time and see if the problem is still present.
I'm using Nova Prime, and haven't had any similar problems. I'm not using Gestures, however.

Samsung S10+ One UI has lots of bugs

Anyone experiencing this?
The bugs that I faced so far:
- waze not responding after switching between apps. Once not responding, I have to close waze completely then open it again but I might need to wait few mins before it would start correctly
- just today the camera suddenly not responding. I have tried to close the apps but it would still shows blank screen. Then I restart the device then it was back to normal
- game rise of civilization would gave blank white screen from time to time after switching apps
- system UI not responding
I was coming from iOS, then change to vivo v9 before I use Samsung.
While the screen and design is a beauty, but even vivo had no bugs like Samsung.
Anyone face similar issues? Anyone know how to overcome this?

Never noticed such bugs on my device. Don't know about the game though because I didn't try it. Are you rooted ? or using some theming apps like Substratum ? You should try booting your phone in safe mode first to see if some app is causing problems. Last time when my Samsung phone's UI stopped working, the culprit was wrong theme applied from Substratum. So, check it first in safe mode, and if it still occurs in safe mode, do a factory reset or flash stock firmware using odin.
I have had none of those bugs.
Never experienced any of those "bugs" either.
Also, No bugs here...

No bugs here. Not even in beta versions using s8 ans s9. I suggest factory reset. Maybe download the latest odin firmware for your carrier and install that. This is the first thread i've seen with people having multiple concerns with One UI bugs.
The only bug I am getting is with the Spotify app. Ever since installing Galaxy Wearables and using Galaxy ear buds the Spotify app is really flakey. It hangs a lot of the time and I have to restart the device to get it to work. Has anyone else had this happen on their S10 plus?
Did not face any of those bugs at all
And did not try this game
No bugs here
I have a lot of apps on my phone, some since honeycomb and no problems either.
My 975U1 has been rock solid from day 1.
No bugs on my phone. But there are plenty roaches in my workplace
No bugs here.
No bugs. This is the least buggy phone I have ever had. No complaints. Coming from pixels and 6t
Not rooted... I will try the safe mode suggestion though...

Spotify works fine for me. On the phone and on Android Auto. Either uninstall and reinstall or go to apps settings and clear cache and data. Settings/Apps/Spotify/storage/ Clear cache then clear data buttons. Restart and try it out again.

Screen Freezes and Problems Typing Text

Noticed quite recently that the phone keeps freezing on apps only way is to close the app down clear from recents and try again. Or lock the phone and unlock it. Also having problems now when typing something out the keyboard accepts my typing but the text does not show up on screen. So I could be writing something out and half way through the text stops showing up. Starting to get frustrated with this phone now. Especially with news of another new phone coming out and this 1 does seem to actually have so many faults.
Constant crashes now on certain apps. Mainly Chrome.
I know alot of people find Chrome buggy but on mostly every other phone I have never had crashes like this.
Chrome seems to have issues with 120 refresh rate from what I've read. Happens on mine and I've read about it happening in the s20. It's the only thing they slows down at all on my phone

I also see this in Chrome & Chrome Beta!

This happens to me all the time with Chrome. Incredibly annoying. In fact, it happened as I was typing this!!
I've had these issues but they disappeared after I took the Android 11 DP for a test drive. After I rolled back I haven't seen any of these glitches at all.
I get this sometimes and as silly as it sounds I'm actually touching the phones screen further up on the display.
Cleaning the phones screen helps as well.
Think QHD can cause this too.
Haven't had this issue persistently as you've mentioned though.

I never had a single slow down with chrome on my OP7 pro. All I know is I've read in many places 120hz send to be the problem with chrome. One way or the other, it's a chrome problem, not a phone problem

It's Chrome. I thought my 8 Pro was broken (I dropped it, then was having problems like you describe). Went back to my Nova5T, and Chrome hangs up in exactly the same way. Nothing to do with the OnePlus at all.
