camera issues afher root - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer

i recently root my tmo s7 edge, and had to fix a lot of things before it can be used fine, ´cos it was lag a lot, i use trickster mod to set the cpu governor to interactive, app disabler to disable the bloatware , amplify for optimize the battery life, buid.prop to fix the wifi issue, and the phone is almost fine, and i say almost because it is still lag from time to time and the battery drains a little bit faster than stock, but the real problem is the camera, it lag a lot when i tried to take photos and even more withe the front facing camera, do you guys have the same issue or it´s just me???

Its me as well.......I have to use smartmanager to clean up all processes before I can use snapchat.

and do you know how to fix it without going back to stock???

Stock will not fix it. As I am STOCK but even the latest APG1 update didn't fix the horrible LAG with the front camera. Back not so much but the front is horrible.

I've never rooted my s7 edge. I've been tempted but don't want bad battery life as it is more vital to me then root, the camera issues have been around for some time. International has had a fix for it but tmobile has yet to push this fix. Unless everyone elses camera is fine (selfie) then I guess I should do a factory reset.

oh, i even´t noticed that before i rooted the phone, and im not very sure about it, but i don´t remember the front camera was this laggy before rooting, i just know that the phone went full retard when rooted, and only get to the pseudo solution when i watch a video of max lee on youtube explaining the issue.

Yes.......I'm going to try forcing the camera app to stay in memory so the needed ram is already allotted to it even when clearing other apps from memory.

Where are we here? Is this an issue for a lot of people after root, or isolated?
Thanks!

That was to patch the link sent via messages and when you opened the video it would "harm the system" and if you used hangouts, it would automatically harm it due to hangout opening the video ahead of time for quicker viewing. It was an issue within the core of Android, not the OEM, itself and has been a 'vulnerability' for quite some time but was just exposed not too long ago.
Got the Patch and the 5.1.1 update, good deal.
Please report back the responsiveness and overall feel. I just might make the leap if they got Lolliflop right with this update.

Well it does seem much more responsive. The optimizing apps process was painfully slow. My GPS puts me in Virginia though and I live in MA. Hopefully after it settles it will update itself.

The GPS location error is definitely sprint, had this problem for years where it would put me at Burbank, CA when I live in Las Vegas, NV. However when travelling to a different area of Vegas, that seemed to put me in Las Vegas. Now when at home it puts me at Dana Point, CA. Lol.
I did a test, had at least 20+ apps running, pressed the recent apps key, and it opened immediately. Usually with that heavy activity, I would be waiting anywhere from 15-30 seconds to pop up. One thing I am waiting to see is if it freezes on me. Had a few instances where apps were making the screen not respond. Seems much faster with the update though.

I've been running it for the past few hours. GPS works and the BT audio bug looks to have been fixed. The UI is smooth as glass. Has Sammy/Sprint finally gotten it right?
I tried to root, and phone rebooted but said su binary was missing. Tried routing with su in twrp and bootlooped. Tried reinstalling bof5 and can't go back. Going to install rom through twrp and wait for stock rooted.

So you can flash TWRP via Odin right? I would not care too much about not being to flash back to OF5 since I have a phone that lags severely after a few days of running stock OF5. I would just want the ability to flash CM12.1.
SD card Wiped
Did the 5.1.1 and my SD card was mostly wiped. Pics and music gone. Funny thing is, some things are still there such as carbon backup files. I'm not exactly thrilled.
5.1.1 kills cf-auto root... It did the same with the note edge.. Kernel exploit is the only way to root..
Loving the new updage so far. Not laggy at all. Now for the battery test.

just my luck i decided to root OF5 last night!
Are my only options to
1) odin stock unrooted of5
2) wait till the new update is available to flash?
if i do option 1 will i lose all my data on the phone? thanks

I odined stock unrooted OF5 and it's getting the OTA update now. So that works.
Phone feels much snappier. Recent apps menu opens instantly. Camera seems to open a bit faster.
Are we not going to get RAW support like the newer phones are getting? Thats some BS if not.

Running Hot

I just got this phone 3 days ago and noticed the phone gets hot like 105°F just browsing on Chrome. Anyone else having this issue?

Mine gets hot while playing games. That's it. I don't have the temp displayed on screen, just going off of feel. Is there anything else running in the background?
I wouldn't be too concerned about 105°F either way. My Xperia could be used as a heating pad and was still running strong after nearly 2 years of use. Really wish I hadn't dropped it.
Sent from my XT1575 using Tapatalk
Something you an try is turning down the screen brightness a lot. What I would do if I were you would be check out the thread about lowing the resolution to 1080p. The phone will run cooler and be a little snappier since the GPU won't be nearly as taxed. The only issue you will have would be if you use moto display. The camera is a little off too, but you get used to clicking below the video button to record. Also, you are not going to notice the resolution difference
Seems to be better now. I was using Nova Launcher when I first set it up, and I'm using Google Now Launcher and seems to be normal now. Either that or it's settled now.
Sent from my XT1575 using Tapatalk
This topic has been discussed since the phone was released. Its display and GPU. I am rooted running trupure with frankenkirk and 1080p display setting. All is better and haven't had any heating issues like the stock ROM. I believe display setting will screw up moto features..
42 Celcius here using chrome, and sometimes Youtube, complety stock ( not unlocked)
My previous phone was a Moto G 2013, the temperature raise is normal, but for me is a disappointment

Try a different kernel. Stock seems to keep all cores at max for best user experience. This however gets the phone hot and reduces battery life.

I haven't made the switch to 1080p yet. The room and qhd are working fine for me. The only time my phone gets hot is when playing games for a certain amount of time. Other than that, I haven't had any heating issues.
I just notice I get better battery with 1080p setup. Also helps with phone not getting too hot as well when playing games.

It should work with no problems. Usually it is launchers, apps, and widgets that are specific to manufacturers (i.e. Samsung and LG interface, apps, and widgets) that are the issue. With Motorola keeping this phone almost true to vanilla, there should be very little if any issues changing resolution.

105°F.... Probably not much to worry about. If this was a Celsius reading, then it would definitely be an issue.

It will break moto display. I don't use any moto app/system that came with the phone. That could also add to better battery. Follow the instruction for 1080p. Just make sure root, SU installed, and terminal emulator. When you set it up, you will see your screen resolution change.

What on God's green earth is this battery drain

What ever this is is SERIOUSLY draining my battery...
Does anyone have any idea what 10425 is or what it does,?

Did you get the recent update yet? I use AT&T and just got mine today.
I thought a numbered process always had to do with a removed app, if you didn't uninstall any app prior to ESET (which drained my battery on my Galaxy S2 also) it probably didn't install well. Let us know if you got it fixed, just for future reference

Mine works fine without the wipe.
I was just sharing my experience as I just got the phone the day before. I had the phone all set up it was working fine on Android 6.0.1. I upgraded to the beta for nougat Android 7.0 and immediately my phone kept rebooting every 30 seconds or little bit longer. Once I realized the data I have not had any issues at all.

I downloaded the app this afternoon, did the registration, went into my setting and checked for an update and it downloaded nougat. The one thing I have found is that Bluetooth sucks! Seriously my music breaks up with it just in my pocket and I'm wearing Bluetooth headphones. Then I took it out of my pocket and put it on the counter and I can't get 5 feet away from the phone and the music breaks up again. Prior to the update I could go to the gym, put my phone down and be a good 40 feet away and it would still work fine.

Thanks to this thread I installed the beta Nougat OS.
Nothing bad so far. I did NOT wipe or remove data.
So far, I really like it. The SoTP meter says it's faster. Only thing that doesn't work so far is my Agenda Widget. Love the improved AOD. Battery seems to last a little longer, but not enough experience to say definitively. I did notice that the phone was warm when at 100% this morning. Haven't seen that since the update that stopped us charging to 100% (even though the display said it was).
The options in Settings are better- much better control of notifications.
I'll post more as I discover it.

Sprint users were part of the beta too, so it shouldn't be like rollouts in the past. Although I don't understand why we've been testing 7.0 and the final is supposed to be 7.1.1, unless Sprint stays on 7.0.

If sammy sends them 7.1.1 them that's what we will get. 7.1.1 isn't that much different from 7.0 just a few features added like app menu short cuts which wouldnt take much for them to add in the final release .I really dnt get how beta is over with all bugs not fixed. I personality still have an issue with Youtube videos not working after some time. Notification tones stop working after some time. No factory reset or caches clear has fixed this in the whole beta process.

Mine has been way better. If you just upgraded, even from the beta, then that is most likely the reason. You must do a factory reset for best results after a big upgrade.

Mine is too. WiFi calling, data calling, and even my bluetooth is horrible. I can hear them but they all say that I am breaking up and this never happened in the past. Also it is in my home where my signal worked flawlessly before.
Nougat seems to have fixed mine. I was having horrible disconnects between towers. That's all fixed now.
