Keyboard lags when charging - Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General

Ever since day one my keyboard lags a bit when I'm charging and typing at the same time. Just enough for it to miss a letter every now and then and just generally annoy you.
I'm currently running Paul pizz rom and multi system kernel, but it did it when totally stock too.
Does anyone else's do this?

I had this issue with my note 3. Turns out I was using a knock off charger. Got a legit OEM and it took care of it. You could see when looked at either one in the galaxy charging app that the fake one was using less current. Drove me crazy until I figured it out

Sprint 2.1 Update issues

I upgraded to the Sprint stock 2.1 update a few days ago. My battery sucks ass, and the whole thing is just slow. My battery lasts maybe 1/2 to 3/4 of a day and anytime I make or take a call or msg/email, the phone freezes for a few seconds at a time.
I've looked on here for answers, but it's all scattered and I can't find much that directly addresses it.
Any and all help would be useful. I'm sure rooting and trying something better would be better, but the stock working without issues would be nice. Thanks.
Rooting is out of the question for you since you upgraded stock 2.1 As far as the battery is concerned you should be able to access your battery stats in Settings>About phone> Battery > Battery use. Of course, you should check the battery use after a days use, so basically charge it to full and let it run down then check the stats on the battery and find out what is using it.
The post the results here and we can assist you further.
I think you will see the google maps issue. I looked and found that it was using 91%. I wish I could adb and pull it out...lol
btw I was quite aware of the impact installing the update.
dont worry, the 2.1 stock rom is like a red headed step child, eventually its going to get beaten so dont worry you will be Adb'ing tons of stuff out in the future lol.
So any reasons as to why it runs slow. Is anyone else having this problem?
I have stock/official 2.1 on mine....and mine works faster actually...my messaging client is wicked fast than in 1.5 .....browsing is faster too...overall the lag level is gone down for me.....
Oh and reg battery...I improved my battery by disabling "always on mobile network connection"...that helped the battery a lil bit...
I easily get a day out of my battery...
You should try to reflash and see if it gets better..

Ditto, I dont know if Im a big fan of this update ..
WOW, i have the leaked 2.1 from fresh on my hero and i have no lag and great battery life. Try another radio as i found the new stock one to be pretty bad.
I updated my girlfriend's Hero to 2.1 a few days ago, and she has been less than thrilled with how it is performing and wishes she could go back to 1.5.
She says the battery seems to drain faster, and she has been having issues with the browser (having trouble selecting text boxes because it takes two taps now due to zoom in, regular freeze ups). The messaging icon also keeps reporting that she has one message, only for her to click on it and have nothing.
One thing that hopefully will help though was turning off Latitude. She was just nosing around in Maps one day and activated it but couldn't find where to kill it. Google awkwardly buried the setting to turn it off completely under the "privacy" menu (the forth option).
What's bad is that I tried to save her the trouble of dealing with ROMs and roots and spared her Hero from my experimenting, but so far the official 2.1 seems to have as many issues as a buggy ROM would. It's very frustrating.

Thank You For Axura!

Just want to give thanks for this rom to whomever put it together. Master? Not sure I'm not to involved with the roms usually. But my Vibrant is an entirely different phone now. Seems to be using the hardware now to its potential. I can't get over how smooth the phone is. No more hitching or lag when you scroll around the screens. My programs all work better now. Stitcher Radio now loads up quicker. Doesn't reset or stop on its own. One little thing is that the orientation seems to be off. When I tilt the phone horizontally for example the image doesn't change over. Regardless, this is a small thing compared to the overall improvement of the device. I'm a newbie to flashing roms but now can't wait for the next one!

lol..thanks once again! I thought it was google syncing! Working fine now.
@azure100. Last night I went to plug in the phone for charging before going to bed. About 10pm. The phone read 71% battery. Kinda shook my head in disbelief. Especially since I get up at 5am! I didn't have my phone on a charger all day but I did have it USB'd to my laptop for a total of about 30mins moving some files and playing around. I'm sure it picked up some charge there? Still, it seemed like a lot of battery life left for that time of day. Usually I make it until about 8pm before the phone is fully out of juice. I'll keep a eye on it today. I won't hook it up to any charger or pc and report back.
Ok so I got three hours before it changed from 100 percent. Battery on this Rom is really good

I wake up at 6 a.m. and battery will last me until around 11 p.m. That is the longest I have let it run without recharging. Normal use. Ill have about 25-30% bat level at that time. I think this is pretty awesome. What I mean by normal use is I am making a phone calls and just checking email. No connecting to wifi etc.. Obviously there will be more battery drain then.
Charging seems to take a while. Even from the wall it just feels to charge slow. But not snail pace or anything. The battery is def lasting longer than before I flashed it.
I've been going back and forth between Axura2.2.5.9 and NeroV3 lol. To me, these ROM are both awesome. It really comes down to customization preferences and how each specific ROM reacts to your individual Vibrant. For my Vibrant, the battery is a little bit better on NeroV3. GPS is somewhat comparable. As a matter of fact, I've been manually customizing my Vibrant by taking bits and pieces of what I like from the Axura ROM and incorporating onto my NeroV3 core.
BTW: Is it just me or others simply do not care?????? In Axura2.2.5.9, the audible tone is not working on the dial pad even when the option is enabled in settings.

Ok. Two days ago I put a newly charged battery in at 3pm. It didn't fully die until after 10pm last night! So over 31 hours on one charge. Granted, Ive been sick so the phone hasn't been used as much. Phone calls. Email but no games, gps or anything like that. WiFi, Bluetooth on. Still, even with light use, the most I was getting is 15 hours thats it. So this rom looks real good for battery
Also want to throw a quick thanks out. I have really started enjoying this phone more than struggling with it. I might even hang onto it for a bit.

3 days, ~6 hours on straight standby.. with a couple of texts and battery status checks.. recharged it when it hit 10%.... this was after clearing battery stats and trying to reconditioning the battery... longest ever... Axura 2.2.5.6
Love the Rom.but only getting like 7 hours of battery life on a full charge. Tried everything but still getting fast battery drain. Hardly any apps running or Widgets. And on low screen brightness. What's up with this.still thanks for the awesome Tom.

Have you tried Set CPU? With Axura and some custom underclocking profiles from set cpu along with managing my wifi/data via toggles on my homescreen, I am gettting really good battery life
I have been on Axura for over a week now and im consistently averaging 13/14 hours on a full battery charge with.moderate use. My current charge is in its 23 rd hour.
Im reluctant to flash any other rom coz I like this one so much but I still want to flash lol

Overheating

This thing gets hot! Just been configuring launcher pro which took around 5 minutes and wasn't data intensive and the back of the phone is really hot. So much that I can smell the plastic heating up! The battery drained real fast during the process too.
Anyone else experiencing this ?
Well that doesn't sound good! I haven't had anything like that. Have you checked the power intake?

Mine got really hot the first day I used it (27/4)...I was just checking out features and installing a few apps. I rebooted it after the battery was fully charged and it's been fine ever since.

I have the exact same problem, it happens especially when I play any games or intensive appliaction. The battery drains and it gets hot next to the camera, I suspect this is where the cpu lives. Do you think its because its rooted? because I rooted it as soon as I got it so I dont know what it was like before.
And as I am away from the uk for the next six weeks I cant even send it back to O2
No nothing to do with root, mine was same before and after, pretty normal to get hot on some demanding apps.

It gets really hot sometimes though, not to the extent of burnt plastic smell but it gets pretty uncomfortable touching around lens at the back.
I've been going through this this morning. It seems that the CPU loves to go up to 1.2GHz even if it doesn't need to be that high (and it stays there). Also there I've also been noticing through ADB shell that their are a few niggles. For example the wi-fi sharing process can start without even being activated.
For example this was a ADB shell top taken while running Cordy downclocked to 800MHz in setcpu. The phone was a tiny bit warm but only by the camera (where the CPU is). Basically, this just shows that if you are playing a game, nothing else is going on so the CPU shouldn't be going up to 1200MHz. And it plays the same as when it isn't underclocked.
I'm currently assisting Pulser with investigating this until he gets his SGS2.

If you do, freeze anything that mentions wifi sharing, unless you are going to use wifi hotspot and kies air a lot.

My phone got so hot that it shut itself down!
since that i have done a complete reset of the phone and started from scratch again....100% better.
The problem as i see it is with all the 'tinkering' that we users do. All the additional launchers etc and widgets that you add really seem to mess the phone up!
My advice is keep the phone as samsung intended it...or at least change very little. You will see far improved battery life and none of the over heating problems.
Just my opinion but its worked for me.

that's just not true.
Mine gets hot aswell .. it's random sometimes but usualy with playing games etc. I suspect it has something to do with the samsung drivers/software and not our tinkering.
Bugs bugs bugs...
Mine also gets fairly hot, which might be a little uncomfortable - but that's the sacrifice you make when you get such a high powered device in such a small space.
Well,amount of apps/tinkering/etc has nothing to do with the phone getting got UNLESS an installed app in messing something up.I have heard many such cases when a rogue app made the CPU run at 100% in different phones.If that's the case you have to find and remove the app.I'd suggest OS monitor for finding it.Never happened to me though!
What's more,it's normal for it to get more hot than your average phone,as it carries more power under the hood and has nothing to help it dissipate the generated heat,as it's plastic.The Desire HD does a very good job with managing heat and I have never exceeded 40 C,even when gaming with an overclock at 1.8GHz and performance governor.Not saying the DHD is better,but Samsung wouldn't have left something like this if it would damage the phone.So I tend to believe that it's designed to get hot.
Mine has overheated twice.
Both times, when trying to pair itself automatically to my car kit. The phone got really really hot (i noticed it warming my leg in my jeans pocket) and needed the battery pulling out to reset it. When it started back up, the running temp was nearly 50 degrees (in standby, it runs at about 27)
Hasn't done it since though, just keeping my eye on it!

I have a quickcharger 2.0 and the phone charges at 7.5V/1A like it did on 4.4. Charging time is about the same about an hour and something from empty with QuickCharge 2.0.
I did charge a big with regular USB at 500mA and seemed to be going as normal....
Maybe your phone is still setting in from the initial install and doing lots of background tasks?
I see a lot of my apps closing, not force closing but when I try open them again it's like opening them for the first time again it's weird, maybe memory leak?

I am using my phone mainly for GPS. Normally when i put it to the car charger ( its magnetic car charger ) and even though i use the phone it doesn't reflect on the charging speed. Today i repeated the procedure and i was shocked. For 30 mins of charging time while i was using the GPS it went Up only with 1% which is insane. Normally for the same time is UP at leas 15 to 20%. Its extremely slow now.

Yes. There are memory leak issues in LP. Check if app processes are restarting even if there is plenty of empty RAM.

Will you be kind enough to install Amphere app from Playstore and let is settle for a minute or two and post the current values? The only explanation for slow USB charge is that certain phones are using more current and this would be a great way to identify it. Post the main value displayed as well as the min value and max value if possible.
I am currently using on airplane mode with -220mA. Min is -210mA. Max is -420mA (only appeared as soon as I unplugged and never again).
When i switch off airplane mode I get -250mA. Min is -240mA. Max is -360mA.

So Android 5.0.2 on Z3 performs the memory leak?

I don't want to cause any unnecessary issues! All I am saying is people hoped for a memory leak issue in 5.0.2. It seems to have reduced significantly but i saw some users still complain on Google Product forums and Google has acknowledged it. Apparently Google has fixed this but hasn't released the fix for OEMs or public yet.
I am not saying we will have the same issue. But if that user complained his phone feels laggy, it could be due to this issue. Because after all, I dont think Sony devs go so far as to solve issues in the AOSP code.
So this is just speculation. Nothing is proven. You need to see if there are blank restarts on app processes even though you have plenty of free RAM. That is a direct hint at memory leaks.

[Q] Why the HELL is the Nexus 4 so BUGGY?!?!?!

What the hell is wrong with the Nexus 4? I thought it was Google's eldest son and would care to treat it to a few bug fixes once in a while. And stock Android? Biggest joke ever in the history of man. My bloated AT&T Galaxy S4 was 100x more stable than this piece of junk. Ever since I got my phone in August, the Nexus 4 is STRIFE with bugs. I can't remember the last time I used the phone without a major bug happening in a day.
-Randomly shuts off. This is F*CKING huge. I will press the right button to turn off the screen, and it won't turn on again. I have to hold the button for like a minute straight to restart the phone. What the hell is up with this?????
-CALLING DOES NOT WORK? WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF A PHONE IF YOU CAN'T MAKE OR RECEIVE CALLS? I HAVE RUN INTO THIS PROBLEM ALMOST EVERY TIME I RECEIVE A CALL. I have to restart the phone, wait for 2 minutes, then call back the person. This is EXTREMELY frustrating.
-The Youtube app works like 20% of the time. I am not even kidding. I expect the app to malfunction than work. It will spin on forever or it will give an error. And no, don't ****ing tell me to restart the phone. I'm not doing that for a video.
-I have a screen lock and I can reply to text messages without unlocking the phone. What the hell is the purpose of a screen lock if I don't have to input that in?
-The battery percentage is completely off half the time. Sometimes it goes 0-100% charge in like 2 hours and sometimes it takes 5 hours. The longer it takes, the longer the battery lasts. This is so frustrating when I have to go somewhere and my battery is 20% at noon.
-The wifi won't connect sometimes and the data won't turn on even if I have full bars. I would have to wait like 15 minutes for the data to turn on.
There is literally so many bugs, I can't remember them all right now. Stock Android my ass. Someone please direct me to a bloated ROM that is stable than this hunk-o-junk.
Do you feel good screaming at nobody? Got it off your chest now. Your phone has obviously seen better days, if your that unhappy with it then don't continue to use it. My nexus 4 still runs like dream no matter what version of android I'm on. The only bugs my device has either comes with stock Google issues or custom ROM bugs. Most bugs are from dirty flashing over and over I'm sure you know that. Wi-Fi bugs would be kernel related if not hardware, your battery sounds like it's gonna catch fire soon. I can't stress enough that these issues your having require your investigating to localize wtf is going on. I hope I've helped.
You bought a phone nearly 2 years after it was released? Was it new, or did you buy it second hand? What version of Android are you running? Are you rooted? Are you running Xposed or other mods? Custom kernel? What have you or the previous owner done with it? Have you done a factory reset?
Cuz mine is 2 and a half years old, and apart from the charging port being a bit touchy with a worn power cord, it's fast and stable.
I mean, if you're looking for a solution to problems, you have to tell us what's going on. Otherwise, you just look like a fool that likes to complain about crap that nobody else (for some reason) is experiencing.
Nope... My wife's been using her N4 for two and a half years and haven't experienced any of those.
Sounds like you have a faulty device, sorry.
seems like your current device has some issues, in general nexus4 very good and fast device
The nexus 4 is not buggy. You bought a broken phone that powers off and your screaming that the phone is buggy? Use your head.

It doesn't mean the majority of people are having issues. Did you not notice that there are still lots of people on these forums that aren't complaining of such problems? I wouldn't put up with random shut downs, so if mine ever did that, I'd be done with it.

I bought a used lg g2 and the LCD screwed up days after I bought it. Should I go into the g2 forums and tell all the people that are completely happy with their g2, that the g2 is junk?

The random shut downs are annoying.. Although you'll probably find it hasn't shut down.. If it's anything like mine it will be on, but won't turn the screen in no matter what you try.
Try plugging it into a PC next time it does it.. 90% of the time it will be recognised, you can even get minimal log cat messages.. But nothing I have tried will awaken it.
Mine didn't do it from new but it's getting worse now.. Nothing seems to fix it, have reflashed many times.
The other problems aren't common on the nexus 4, but I've seen the shutdown one on a few different devices now. It's certainly not even close to all of them, but enough are starting to do it.
Sounds like you have something wrong, I am running 5.1.1 rooted, with the LTE hack, and it is fast and stable. No random reboots. You might try running a logcat and see what the issue may be. Clearly you are not looking for help, as you provide no information or detail as to your handset or specifics on the issues you are seeing. Do you feel better to vent? I would put my N4 up against any other handset, even 2 years later.
Let him scream to himself. Useless thread, it has no purpose but relieving his feelings. Here is not the place for that.
I can recreate a lot of issues OP mentioned. I also have the random shutdowns, enormous battery drains, no sound in calls, etc.. I got my phone on day 1 and it seems that these bugs get worse lately.. Unfortunately I don't have the money to buy a new phone right now, so I'll have to just live with it.. I spent countless hours trying out fixes but nothing really worked permanently..
Could all of this have to do with production batches or hardware revs? Mine is a rev11 bought new in Sep 2013, I never experienced any of these bugs (except for the sleep-of-death which I've only come across twice on KK, so not a reoccurring condition). Ironical that you haven't mentioned the ONLY widely acknowledged bug affecting the n4 (which 5.1 seems to have finally solved): the infamous camera reboot. Only Lollipop helped for me; as long as I was stuck with KK it was a feckin nightmare!
Sorry for the poem, just giving my 2 cents about what's an acknowledged bug and what is not.

Logs are free if you want some help. Could be the hardware, but without knowing details impossible to say.
I had the camera reboot once in the 7 months I've owned this phone. Happened when I went to take a picture in a message I was sending directly, which I dont do very often. That's the only reboot or crash I can remember ever happening to this phone. Nothing like my sisters s3 that freezes almost every day since she got it apparently.
