I think he meant OTA .. the update was available for download earlier , but OTA came in yesterday.
I also installed it and i find its touch responsiveness to be pretty smooth compared to the old versions ...
Dr mentioned that this also has a better battery performance..

Well i found the OTA update on 2nd March itself, hence you are late for the party
The battery performance has improved drastically, No call drops as in LB1, Lag has reduced, google+ as default app .... better than any previous release. Last night my cell was on standby for 8 hours with only 1% power consumption. Hope this helps.

thank you so much guys let us please keep informing each other for all the additional changes that you notice.

Keyboard lag when charger connected is gone.
Low response issue in letter N and M on the keyboard is gone.
Ashoka Hindi Keybaord included.
Battery life is not that well on my end. Lets see.

improvement in wifi range
in a corner of my house where i could not connect to my wifi signal i am able to connect now.

no update found
Hi, there is a lag when i type or hit on the m or n button on the keypad. Otherwise also, when i hit near that area, the screen is unresponsive. Will an update fix that issue?

Just read 2 posts above yours.
Did you update to the latest yet??

i got the update its only 9mb didnt find any difference

improved wifi reception
Guys I reconfirm here that the wifi reception is definitely better.
Besides another add on that I have noticed is that when I hit the wifi toggle in the notification tray a white pop up appears momentarily telling u about the available wifi signals and u can touch and choose whichever u want to connect to. Earlier u always had to go to the wifi settings to be able to do this.

Note 4 edge vzw update

My phone just downloaded an update a few mins ago at about 12:20 pm set haven't heard of anything coming for vzw anybody know what it is I haven't installed it yet
Sent From The EDGE

I downloaded it it was quick install it's nothing really lol. I did hear to get lollipop on Google plus with note 4 there was a small update prior to lollipop so that's my guess in the dark lol

Maybe they've never heard of the Note 4 Edge.

Definitely a small update...this is the "benefits of the update" PDF from VZW's website...

There is always hope that it is a prep update for Lollipop ...
I took the update earlier today and was interested in seeing how the display of the apps on the Note Edge would be changed / better / optimized / etc but haven't been able to tell any difference for me.

Alright thanks for the info and info on how it affected your edge screen
Sent From The EDGE

Looks like the Edge display no longer shows the transitionan animation when swiping from screen to screen. Also my stock KB has a new ticking kind of sound when pressing the keys.
I like the KB sound, but miss seeing the screen transitioning under the edge display. My desktop feels smaller?

Does your touchscreen wiggle when we hold finger on it?

Hi.
Just bought s7 edge loving it.
Before i was using iphone 6s. I also used note 5 for week i didnt liked touch response was bit low latency and slow unlinke iphone.
I really like new series. Everything is good. I started noticing new thing. Touch response is also good on this phone but I saw new thing. When we hold finger on touchscreen also like when we rearrange icon by holding it.
I see touchscreen is wiggling like a old phone is getting charge and touchscreen is shaking like virus..
Have you ever noticed that?
Or screen is over sensitive?
I will also make video to describe.

Doesn't do it here (using the Exynos variant)

I see what you mean but I have not noticed it on mine. I would if I had it because I'm sensitive to stuff like that. Though it IS a sensitive screen. Even after the update that fixed the severe oversensitivity. It's not a problem anymore though. Before the update it would register presses before you even touched the screen. Hovering the finger 0,5mm above the screen would trigger it.

I would say i have noticed what you are experiencing.
but not to a level it was noticeable./
To me it felt more like the phone was responsive to my touch more than previous devices.
And as this is incredibly quick, it was reflecting this on the animation
(While other devices that are slower would not show it)
I noticed this stopped when using the tip of my thumb instead of the flat.
But more productive, What version are you running?
There has been various updates that improve the stability.
I upgraded and rolled back due to loosing a feature.
(Whitelisting Caller ID) (Stops unwanted calls)
But noticed a improvement to the touch sensitivity being abit over sensative one may say

Thanks for replies.
Im running pd1 something like that written at last.
For me it's not big issue.
I hope you got what I tried to show.
I mean I only see wiggle when I hold finger after sec it get fine but for sec it wiggles. There is also a wiggle when I swipe left right instantly I'm not talking about it.
I'm talking about, when I try to zoom a picture. It wiggles when on stable finger for a sec. Software down the touch response after a sec then wiggle gets fine.

Yea it's not annoying but it feels cheap.
Actually cheap phones have this thing especially when we use it while charging.
I'm not saying s7 edge is bad phone. I still love it.
But I really seek fix for that.

This is a software "issue" and not a hardware issue, so this is something that can be fixed by an OTA. Could you install Nova Launcher and see if the wiggling is still there? I just want to check that it's not anything with the Samsung launcher.

bought a brand new indian set s7 edge. And i am also facing the same issue. What is to be done to fix it? I have tried the *#2663# stuff. It doesnt help at all.

Yeah my phone does that too!
It STILL ANNOYS me daily because I notice some imperfect scrolling! I am very sensible to smooth scrolling and I can notice some imperfections on this phone!
Besides it jumps up sometimes when scrolling down... and the opposite way around!
See my poll on g+: https://plus.google.com/+GeorgesGeagea/posts/Vp8Xc5nwTtt

Try *#2663# and Update the stuff there. It will help. What i think is that its an over sensitivity problem. Had it alot on Note 4. Not any on s7 edge. I have the Exynos version.

S8 is much slower than the Google Pixel?

Hi all,
Just switched to the s8 from a google pixel.
Beautiful phone, but if is noticeably slower, in many ways:
1. Poor screen responsiveness of the keyboard. Typing on SwiftKey is slower on the s8 than the pixel. It seems that take a split second longer to recognise the touch.
2. Scrolling stuttering. The pixel's scrolling is buttery smooth. The s8 seems to be seriously slopping frames for something as simple as scrolling a page of text on chrome!
3. App switcher. It's really very jelly compared to the buttery smooth Pixel.
Anyone else experienced these issues, and /or have any thoughts?

I had moments yesterday where my S8 had skipped or stuttered, but it's been perfect today.

No issues here, and I'm no samsung fan boy. I've got iPhone 7 plus, zte axon 7, lg v20, and I've owned nexus devices. But with My track record with samsung I'd know for sure in 2 weeks lol. Happy so far

Has been butter smooth for me and I have not noticed any lag on the keyboard or in any screen. Not sure why you are experiencing such poor performance.

Pixel is bare bones and Samsung is full of features and customization (some useful and others a waste). Samsung is know for bloatware which slows the phone down, but my S8 is fluid.

I noticed the same thing
I noticed a delay with my s8 compared to the pixel xl when I happened to switch between apps on both. To test it out I opened up the same two apps and double tapped the toggle window button. The s8 is slower and not as smooth. There may be an animation speed setting that makes it faster but still seems like it wouldn't be as smooth.
Typing this in noticing swift key going slower too.
My battery is at 15% so maybe something is optimizing it and slowing it down...

Started having problems again. Ironically, similar to the problems that caused me to switch from the S4 to the S8 and to what the OP mentions.. Freezing of apps and high battery draw. Stuttering and slow to switch apps and unlock. Problems with keyboard not recording keystrokes. Then it goes b as back to being perfect again.
There is an update ready, but I'm having flashbacks to the update that locked the S4 down. I know this phone is already locked down more than the S4 ever was, but still...

No problems here. It's really fast. Faster than my old S6 Edge.

Yes to my surprise this sammy built phone hasn't lagged yet but it's too early to tell

I always disable window animation in developer tools. Make it way better for me. I don't like window animation.

Yep another week and a half we'll know, hoping it doesn't. But if it's going to I hope its before my return window. I think samsung finally made a good speedy phone.
To anyone wanting to help speed it up and block updates until there sure it's a good update. I disabled updates in developer settings, and set animations to .5x.

Unfortunately, I don't know how to get rid of it. (Yet) I'm pretty sure once you set it up to stop updates it doesn't show up. But same with my case I didn't know the update was going to break bixby button so I stopped it when I found out. Now mine shows, and I've tried to get rid of it by blocking its notifications thru holding down on it and going to its settings. But it still shows up. I'm still working on a work around to get rid of it. Once I do I'll let you know.

I can't remember if we can just download it and then once it offers to install maybe we could ignore it but I forgot if that was the case for 7.0 update for s7e

I'm getting stuttery scrolling across various apps. Some are smooth though, and others more like a mid-range phone from a few years ago - not what you'd expect from a flagship device today.

I'm experiencing the stuttering apps. As mentioned in this thread, disabling window animations has helped with this experience.
This is my first android phone since the HTC one X.
Can we expect any custome ROMs? Or updates to improve performance?

Not all apps are created equal, some are smoother than others simply because they're written differently.

what's your display model?? redmi note 7 Touch latency issue

Hello everyone. Can you guys maybe help to check what the model of your screen is? Just enter the cit test by clicking kernel version multiple times and click software version, the first option. And under LCM info, there should be the display type.
Want to further investigate the touch latency problem with this information.
Thanks.

This is my version. I have Global stable Rom PFGMIXM, I read on Mi community,that people complaining about this,but I dont have problem.
Factory ID is only different between your and my information..
Maybe also ROM that you use have some bug.
I am using 10.3.5.0 almost a month..I get this update on 19 April. Whit this update I don't have problem with touch and especially at the end of screen side. I use temper glass 0.33 ,maybe thats change my screen latency.

I also have 10.3.5 on my phone. Can you maybe do a screen record to show your touch position when scrolling?

I have BOE LCD and no latency issues

I have tianma and touch latency on the edges of the screen.

Wow never saw that. Are you using the global version

Here's mine...touch isn't bad.
Not as fast/instantly responsive as my wife's iPhone 6s of course but don't have the complaints others mention on the forums.
I will say that the paid app touch screen repair has also helped improve the responsiveness a tiny bit.

I have Boe too, global version

global 10.3.10 stable

Mine says shenchao

I also have this touch latency issue. I have the same model as yours. Hope they fix the issue because it can be very annoying sometimes.

I also have that tianma display, but i don't have any kind of display lag.
I have the EU version with Miui 10.3.6.0.

I have the same display too (tianma) but I do not have any problems that I am aware of. If anything changes I will post.

BOE panel for me. Altough it isn't THAT bad, I can see the letters getting slightly thinner when scrolling through text, but also when the display brightness is cranked up to maximum, the notification/quick toggles panel has a really ugly colour to it, like someone would put too much contrast onto it. At night, when I have reading mode enabled & have the slider at maximum, I notice a lot of blurring of text, to the point where it becomes somewhat annoying

That's a software feature, albeit a weird one, of MIUI. I had the same issue with a Tianma panel on MIUI. Switch to a custom ROM if it bothers you.

Hey everyone thanks for sharing your screen model. As of what I saw, the majority of you guys seem to have the tianma screen model, and some of you faced the same problem as I do.
As of one person said, we should try the touch calibration app. However, for me, it didn't work, it showed no signs of improvements in touch latency.
I also recently updated the software version to 10.3.10, but the problem still persisted in this version.
Also, a new problem seem to appear, scrolling through screens now seem to be more laggy than before.
What do you guys think? How is the new version working for you guys?

My formula....take it with a grain of salt...
No root needed...
1. Activate developer options
Use ADB to use custom animations
Set to:
1.23
0.11
0.67
2. Download the paid version of both Touch Screen calibration app and the other one Touch Screen Repair.
Follow both apps instructions...
Reboot after running calibration/repair for each app.
3. If you want to take things further, download (via Google search) the APK SGS Touch Screen booster.
Set your settings to what you see my attachment.
You should absolutely see some difference vs stock touch screen latency performance especially if you do all 3.
Do you have to do all 3, absolutely not. But if you're curious...and have some time to kill research each app, how it works etc and see what happens.
I do no own any of the mentioned apps or benefit financially from recommending people check them out.
Want to make sure I point that out as well.
Will it make your screen feel exactly as a newer model iPhone level response...of course not. BUT it will absolutely improve how your screen responds and feels.

Did another test tonight.
Changed my Window Animation to 0.70 this time. Only other change was SGS Touch Screen app motion filter set to 0.
My touch latency performance improved again and typing is a little more accurate. Getting even closer to our iPhone 6s' screen which is fantastic!
Try these settings out and share your experience
