S7E software problems or lag? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers

Anyone else having any glitches, lag, strange behavior, etc. I don't know if it's just me but my s6e+ seemed to run a little smoother on LP than new s7e on MM.
issues I have with mine:
After reboot the keypad for entering pin has input lag and sometimes erases
The notification bar will open blank when I have notification and then close and re open with notifications, sometimes it will open and phone will freeze for 3-4 seconds
If I am listening to music over Bluetooth in my car and I compose a text message and attach a picture, it cuts off my music and I have to press play again.
Hopefully we get another OTA soon that fixes some of this. Anybody else having issues?

keypad lag after reboot might had to do with system still loading; if i immediately enter pin after reboot, it lags like no tomorrow, but if i let it sit for a minute or so, everything is smoother, but still not as smooth as normal
notification bar issue happened to me once, but thats after an app crashed; it went away after i force closed the misbehaving app from usage manager
it also randomly cut off my music, but i even have it happened when my screen is off, but only on wired headset, never on my BT headphone

It doesn't like my left thumbprint only my right even though I've redone it once already.
Sometimes if I am trying to type it randomly goes to the lockscreen and I have to unlock my device again.
I can test the bluetooth MMS issue (if I remember) later.
Also the Do Not Disturb settings do not work whatsoever, I have to manually turn it on and off from the quick settings bar.
I almost wish I'd waited for the G5 to drop this week...

The g5 doesn't really appeal to me, now the m10 is looking nice but I'm overall satisfied for now. I think/hope after the next ota all the bugs are worked out. I really should've held on to s6e+ until note 6 but the sd card and water resistance got me lol

argh, i think i've had it with this phone (wifi)

in a neverending battle with a phone that is underpowered and clumsy, i now have had enough. I figure i will give this one shot here before i buy a pearl or dash on monday (probably a pearl as the wm phones i have used have all seemed to be piled of ****e).
Everytime i try to activate my phone on my home wifi network, it freezes. Anyone experienced that, got a fix? It's ridiculous how touchy this phone is and annoying.
Actually, perhaps you can suggest some other fixes to annoyances.
I dial and then put the phone to my face, and poof, my cheek hangs it up.
After boot, the message button won't open my poutlook, it opens but doesn't display. If i hit the text or email entry on the today screen, it works fine.
Bluetooth won't work correctly, insomuch as it won't output to the headset but people can hear me fine
I get notification i have a voicemail, and i dismiss it.. so dismiss the bloody thing - i still have the notification by the clock, i want to REMOVE the link to voicemail by the left bottom softkey.. so i can see other notifications, annoying, annoying, annoying.
Overall i find this phone to be a bulky, heavy, clumsy, unresponsive POS. I know that's a negative thing here, but i am really frustrated.
Chill out, relax. I've been using the wizard without any problems whatsoever but if anything, the WiFi is a problem because of my stupid router (a WRT54GC). But even then, once it's associated, it's not a problem. I have a Belkin downstairs which is the gateway device and I have 0 problems associating and using WiFi with it. My device is an XDA Mini S.
Now, enough about me, here's a few questions:
When you say lock up, what locks up? The whole phone? Does pressing the keys bring up the keypad lights? Is this the case after a hard reset as well?
I can't use my cheek to disconnect the phone ...maybe because I have a screen protector on? I don't know but I never had this problem :S
No comment on the poutlook but mine works fine with everything so far :S
I haven't used BT for headsets but this might depend on the profile used by the headset.
I don't use voicemail so I can't say much about the notifications.
The wizard is by no means flawless but I have not come across anyone with the same problems as you...but then again, I've been away for a fair bit :S
the message notification is terrible. If there's a voicemail. You can't see anything else until you check it. Dismis just brings it back. All other dismiss fine. THisis on my sx-66 wm5

4.2.2 notification bar problem

OK. To start with, my OTA didn't show up so I force stopped and cleared data of one of Google's services responsible for holding the OTA information. After that everything went smoothly. However, I noticed that my notification bar behaves just bizzare. When I'm trying to pull it down, it sometimes goes down, and sometimes just goes up (this only occurs when pulling down with 2 fingers). Now, it just stopped scrolling down at all... No response, totally. The screen is all fine, testes that in touch localization in menu. OK, after restarting the phone, it works again. With being pulled with only 1 finger everything is fine, but with 2 fingers it still glitches somehow. I wish I could go back to 4.2.1 now...
PS. Am I the only one that noticed there is no voice calls and ringtone volume control in lockscreen?
I'm on 4.2.2 (ota update). No major problems with the notification bar but it just doesn't feel as smooth as it was on 4.2.1. A bit jerky at times.
i noticed that too, but if i pull it down slowly it gets stuck right up to the part that shows the date, if i pull it down like i normally do, it's just as fast.
is this the issue that you're seeing or is it something else, try pulling it down quickly with your thumb
hope this helps
I had this issue when I flashed one of the versions posted in the Development section. I just flashed the official stock image and no longer have this issue.

im not on official rom on PA but the volume controls dont work in lock screen unless your playing music which is only for music volume,
thanks for the 2 finger pull down, i didnt know it toggles the shortcuts pane.

[Bugs]What kind of bugs you have on stock Sense 6

What kind of bugs you have on stock Sense 6 and some fixes if someone has one.
So far after 1 day of ussage i noticed some bugs:
1.Sound is mutted if you move the phone when it ring.
2.If u try to pull down the notification for a mesage/missed call the weather in lockscreen is expanding and u cannot acces via "drag and open".
3.The volume is increasing randomly.
If you have spotted any othe bugs feel free to ad to list .
agree with point 1 and 3, and I found that the pressing of back button during incoming call will mute sound and vibrate, I think it is a bug rather then a "feature". Very annoying!
I was actually going to start a similar thread so thanks for getting the ball rolling.
I haven't noticed any of the issues you listed. My issues are primarily GUI related.
1) in top portion of the caller ID and call log windows, the contact's image is covered up by the Tab swipe views control.
2) the spacing between the icons and the dock are messed up on the home screen
3) dock visible on the blinkfeed page
I have somewhat remedied these issues using xposed and the Sense 6 toolkit but it's still not quite right.
EDIT> This isn't a bug per say but it is very annoying. Every time I make a call through my car's bluetooth my phone now prompts me to choose an output device (handset, speakerphone, or car bluetooth). It defaults it to handset speakers so I have to select car bluetooth which is annoying because I'm trying to operate hands-free. The worst part is that it asks the question every time and doesn't remember my last preference.

1 - This is not a bug, if you look there is a sound option that is on by default - Quiet Ring On Pickup

I think most likely it is cause by mis-pressing of back button during ringing. finally I have to disable the hardware button and turn on the softly in order to prevent this issue. hope can improve in next update....
1 i not have that bug, use full reset include delete photos, music, than if you not rooted wipe cache.

Another one I noticed is that extreme power saving mode doesn't work.
In fact it loses more power in that mode than usual.
Every time i received or i send a message, there's always a triangle with an exclamation point in the middle appearing in the status bar for maybe 0.5 millisecond. I can live with it but it's a little annoying sometimes
Second is that the rotation from landscape to portrait sometimes are not smooth, it lags for some millisecond before it reaches it's full rotation..
Battery is worse than sense 5.5

+1 to this.
Also, the dialer sucks. There's a lag while opening it which was almost instant in previous versions.

Phone randomly wakes up a few seconds after turning the screen off

I've had this problem since since the beginning; both on OxygenOS 2.1.1, and 2.1.2 – sometimes, when I click the power button to turn the screen off, and put the phone on a desk, or into my pocket, after a few seconds the phone wakes up by itself suddenly, and most often shows the list of recent apps.
It's only a minor annoyance when it happens after putting the phone on a desk, but it can be a bit more serious when this happens in a pocket. For example, a couple of days ago, I was riding a bike, when suddenly, the phone started skipping through music, and doing who knows what else. (I know it tapped around a bunch in a number of different apps that one time.) Certainly a lot of potential for butt-dials.
At first I thought it was an issue with the DT2W implementation being overly sensitive, so I disabled it, but the problem persisted. Anyone else experiencing this, and perhaps any solutions?

Galaxy S8 vibration cuts out

I'm on my second S8 with the same issue, I replaced the first one due to a cracked screen. Samsung support can't help me, as all they did was remote into my phone and turn my ringer from sound to vibrate and reenabled all the bloat I disabled before I cut off the remote, then asked if I'd like to fill out a survey on their customer service... So anyways I haven't made a connection to a specific action causing it, it seems random, all vibration will just cuts out, but the phone behaves like everything is still working, nothing is greyed out I can turn the volume up and down, mess with vibration settings etc, it just doesn't vibrate. Sometimes it'll come back if I leave it alone for a few hours, but it'll always come back after a restart. Anybody having a similar issue?
p.s. also while I'm here anybody have issues with YouTube stuttering? Both my S8s do that too
