Is anyone else getting sub 60fps on S7 edge? I installed Game Tuner, set to lowest resolution and it doesn't change the framerate at all. It was a stock German ROM, I reset using Kies and it gave me a German firmware for some reason, I'm from the UK. I only noticed the performance issue when I was playing MU Origin and told my brother to get it on his iPhone 6S and it's a hell load smoother...
Is their any fix to this?
I've read about people with this issue previously. The only time I've had a less than smooth experience was on Minecraft PE, but within a few weeks of the phones release the game got an update and then ran smooth as butter. Everything else I've tried has had no issues at all.

Do you think it could be a faulty device or something..? I dropped it after 3 weeks of having it too, and the Knox counter has tripped.
No idea. I presume the knox counter is tripped because you have rooted the phone or installed a custom recovery etc. It wouldn't cause choppy gameplay in games regardless.
As your knox is tripped I suggest you try a custom rom, assuming you're on Samsung stock. Try Superman, the best one there is in my experience. You might find things improve.
Well my phone scored 1928 on Sling Shot ES 3.1 and other peoples results are 2500, 20fps difference in physics section 1 too... I'm using superman rom too. Seems quite strange my phone is performing so much slower than others?

Hello all, first post here after reading for quite some time
I researched alot and decided to buy this phone because I concluded it was the best, performance, quality, resolution, etc
I have the phone for a week now and I don't feel happy with it, overall I see the phone is not really smooth, it frequently freezes for like 2 seconds when opening or closing an application, I was quite happy until before I installed some apps, like modern combat 3 and aftermath xhd, I can't install those via market because it says it's not compatible with my device, so I tried them out because I was too curious to see its performance, and I'm very disappointed...
modern combat 3 is unplayable, the menu is laggy, the game feels like its constantly loading something, it's choppy, I played only half of the first level because I couldn't go on anymore. Aftermath XHD was laggy at first, but now I'm at the sniper level and I had to give up, it's unplayable, when a shot is fired it lags so much it stops for like 3 seconds. I read all over the internet that those games run smooth on defys, so what's the problem here?
I'm at stock rom and kernel (N7000UBKK1, 2.6.35.8-N7000UBKK3, GINGERBREAD.UBKK3), I'm not really into flashing, but after reading over the games thread people saying it's smooth and working fine I think it's my only hope, if it doesn't fix it I guess my hardware would be faulty then.
I'm starting to think that the internal disk is the bottleneck, and I'm not sure if updating can turn a non-playable game smooth, so has any of you guys ever experienced this or been through this, can give some advice or based on your experience point out if it is possible to solve this problem?
thanks in advance

Hey, after using the Iphone 3gs since its release I must say Im impressed with both Galaxy S2 and Galaxy Note BUT the random freezez and input lag that appears every now and then is just frekking annoying. Even with custom romz and different kernels this happens atleast 10 times everyday. As a techie guy I like the freedom that android gives me compared to the endless jailbreaking and ego behaviour by apple. However I'd say android devices must with the current hardware fix this type of problems since in the end user experience is the most important and If I spend 600 euros on a phone I'm sad to say that touchwise it still lacks a lot but after playing with it now for two weeks I have to say that I've gotten used to it. Samsung should stop pushing so many devices and focus on making the android software more stable, better touch input and reduce the frekking lag, dual core or not.
This forum is the best I've found and has everything a phablet nerd needs
Samsung Galaxy S2 - Stock Rom 2.3.5 with Launcher Pro (faster than the note with standard settings!!!!)
Samsung Galaxy Note - RocketRom V9 KKA 2.3.6 Launher Pro, CPu 1,6 mhz (still!! laggs sometimes)
Yeah, the Note is not polished enough yet. But don't lose faith - it will get better once we get ICS, shouldn't be that long. Right now it's up to you - you can improve it noticeably by flashing, tweaking and overclocking. I did that and I don't look back it ain't perfect but good enough for me.
KL3 soft + Abyssnote 2.5 kernel + OC (1650) + either lulzactive governor and vr scheduler (very responsive OS) or ondemandx gevernor and sio scheduler (smoother 3D games). These are settings that do the trick for me.

It's also not compatible with everyone else's device, and people are reporting the game runs fine, how so?
If your game data is in your external SD Card, that may well be the problem
Anyhow, the Note is a niche device with a flavor of early adopting, since it's the first phone with this big a screen (the streak was a tablet, if I'm not mistaken?) and because it's one of the three first with a HD resolution.
What does that mean? That many things that work flawlessly on lesser devices won't work here simply by lack of dev support. One example? The gameloft games, my favorites. None of them are officially supported, and I haven't managed to make them work unofficially.
One thing is for sure: Android required flashing, period. The Defy is crap without any flashing, so is the Atrix, and now the Note is. At the very least, put on the CWM recovery, which takes about 60 seconds of your time, and try the custom Kernel that is swimming lonely down in dev section that allows you an OC of 1.7ghz. See if that helps with the lagging.

Don't worry with this kind of responses, you'll get them here sometimes. This is XDA, forum 100% dedicated to tinkering with phones so who cares what's compatibile with what. Make it work and enjoy.
This game is about 1.4GB if it has been installed on your internal memory you will definitely run out and and your phone will struggle,go to Settings/Applications/Manage Applications/Remove To SD card.
Just another boring witch hunt thread (yawn).
thanks a lot for the replies guys, you guys really helped a lot, I'm a lot more confident now and anxious to start flashing!
I got one question before starting the flashing process, is the JIG dongle for the S2 compatible with the note? I can't find the note JIG anywhere around here
I thought mw3 didn't work with the newest gingerbread yet.
Like the above poster said, try kl3. Little lag I had disappeared.
GALAXY NOTE
hello there
got my note 2 weeks ago and i noticed a weird slowness
not in games but in everyday use its really annoying
the it cant be hardware problem right?
i mean..how can it be that such strong hardware cant hold
this software?

Really strange 'cuz Note, even with stocks, is powerfull in terms of GPU and HW. Are you talking about its reactivity? Flashing other kernels and other ROMS you'd see the fastest device you can find right know, but I repeat, even with stocks I remember it was fast so it's too strange :banghead:
Sent from my Galaxy Note with DarkyROM 3.3
My one works great. It might be your phone... try returning?
My acted the same. On stock rom it was choppy and laggy.
Custom fw solved the issue.
Same here...
Quite laggy and slow on stock firmware once I filled it up with apps.
Custom solved that though. I used Rocket v22, (full wipe when went to that final version along with Abyss 4.0). I got some strange results though, v22 was laggy for me and Abyss 4.2 got me battery drain. Also, Abyss 4.0 sometimes had the tendency to overheat. AGAIN, this is opposed to what most users have reported, so...might just be my phone, the way I use it...I don't know.
I finally found bliss in DarkyRom, with Franco Kernel. Smooth gaming, no lag (yet). Also, I've found ICS Roms to be really really smooth, although I had to go back to GB due to some features missing in these betas.
Thanks guys
Well im wait'n to the ics update..
Does anyone have a clue when its gonna released ?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2 Beta-3
My only lag was in the Contacts,it usually took a long time to open,but a third party application solved it.
As for the ICS its better you check the sticky thread,the Moderater who is a bit temprimental guy could easily delete this thread as soon as he notices that word mentioned any other place than there.
However my personal opinion is that it wont come before the end of June.
Noticed this also. I am coming from an Epic 4G Touch and even completely stock that device was amazingly fast with everything. My Gnote was unbearably slow on the stock KK2 firmware and is a lot faster/smoother on LC1 with Franco Kernel 9. However still not as responsive/smooth as the Epic 4G Touch was for whatever reason.
I noticed that my Note is no as spritely as my old iPhone 4S.. I found after turning on it was better not to rush, pause for a split second and then everything is ok.
Thought so..
Im using startup auditor and now its much faster then before.
Hope that the update in june will fix the problems.. im kinda missing the 4s in teaems of camera quality but the overall performance are great.
too bad that the screen is Pentile based and not Plus..
Hope that the SGS3 will come out soon..
Thanks guys!

Mine lags.
I use stock OC5 BTU rom.
I bought it second hand (just couple of months old) and it had knox triggered and with DBT OC5.
I had alexdr's OD2 multi CSC rom wasn't impressed with battery life so got customer recovery and installed deoxed rom.
Unrooted it to use banking apps.
Battery life was terrible so downgraded to KitKat BTU then updated to OC5 using kies.
I haven't done a factor reset after updating. So not sure if factory reset will help.
Battery life is still not very good but I can live with it.
Anyone also experience lags?
My Note 3 was better than this.
Yeah, mine does running SimplRom v3.2F
A lot of users have reported Lollipop lag- it just isn't well optimised for Note 4.
That being said, the one ROM that I've found has the least lag is SimplRom.
I'd recommend it if you're up for rooting etc.

factory reset can help out in a lot of cases, but stock firmware is pretty bad yes.
mostly it's because of all the junk samsung added, but also because they messed around with the runtime and some system apps (like SystemUI that causes a LOT of lag on the recents button)
Ah man. Hope they fix it. Specs are awesome and screen is amazing! But ui is full of lag and random heating up. Moto G is so much smoother
Hi!
I sometimes have recents button lag, sometimes up to 4-5 seconds.
I also experience app crashes several times a day.
Music playback (google play music is what I use) is chopping every now and then, consistently every few minutes. This is regardless of connected headset or bluetooth.
Everything feels so not optimized. I doubt Samsung has time to work on a Note 4 software update, now that they are pushing their new shiny S6 models.
Selling this and getting a LG G4.
Im not facing any types of lags or phone being heated up.Although while playing intense games it gets warmed up.Im running stock rom without root.All I did was a factory reset after the lp upgrade

I downgraded to KitKat now. Still lagging and stuttering present. Naturally had to factory reset with the downgrade. Battery life seems to be definitely better then Lollipop but still laggy as before. My phone can't be faulty can it?
My device doesn't have ANY FC. But I get TONS of lag with:
Photography (reviewing, and launching the camera)
Recent apps / multitasking
I am disappointed in the Note 4 for lags and poor camera quality in anything but superb lighting conditions.
Just might return it if Samsung doesn't fix these issues soon. I'll wait until the end of July, probably, and see if the update comes or not. If it does, and fixes, yay! If not, boo. And if it does come, and doesn't fix anything, double boo and never buying a Samsung device again. Shame on them!
I just got my HTC 10 yesterday and I'm noticing some lag right away, I get quite a bit of stuttering when I scroll, the phone is very hard to use while apps are updating because of lag, gaming performance isn't better than my note 5 was even though the adreno 530 is supposed to be an upgrade, my antutu score was also lower than it was supposed to be and overall the UI just doesn't feel fluid/60fps. I've tried disabling some of the sprint bloat. I've also tried wiping everything and installing a custom ROM, but I still was getting the same bad performance. Any help would be appreciated.

sounds like something is up with your phone. I came from an S6 and I felt everything was snappier on the HTC. I had one issue and doing a quick firmware update seemed to fix for me. you may want to run an RUU or fastboot the firmware and see if it fixes?
No problems here, even when the device was stock it was smooth.

So, got my phone since monday now and I cant help but to find little framedrops and stutters all over the place, all the time... well, what would you guys do to fix this? Any settings to be changed or perhaps a custom kernel? My Nexus 5 runs way smoother, my iPhone 6, just something I wouldnt expect from an SD835 phone.. therefore, where is the issue and how should I approach this?
(Not talking about the annoying Jello.. thats an whole other problem )

@OP. Are you seeing this through something like gpu rendering?
I would recommend clearing your caches, dalvik and cache. That was causing textra to constantly crash for me on this phone and my z play. If that doesn't work, try a factory reset, if not, get a replacement as you likely have a bad unit. I've had no lags or stutters even while in power saving mode..

I came from a Nexus 5 to the OP5 and the OP5 is blazing fast compared to my previous phone. In all likelihood this problem is caused by an app which you have loaded. Don't compound the confusion by rushing to a different ROM or kernel. OOS is almost pure AOSP so you'll not likely get an improvement. Most of the custom kernels make changes to squeeze out battery life not speed things up which sucks battery life.
As you just got the phone you could do a factory reset including user data then test the pure experience to make sure the "stutters" aren't there then slowly add your apps and re-test until you identify the app(s) that are impacting this liquid smooth device.
If you don't believe me then check the OP5 YouTube reviews which always mention how fast the OP5 is with OOS and the 835 processor.

I'm not saying it isn't fast but the jelly effect and micro stutters make the scrolling a pain. Also it happens everywhere not just in browsers and such.

It has been commented many times that the jelly effect is only seen by some people and not others. Luckily for me I've not one of those unfortunates. As for micro stutters I've no idea what your talking about as I've not seen that either.
I did use my Nexus 5 to get an old app off it and that is where I was really shocked at how slow the N5 was compared to my OP5. Like so much of tech a good amount of what a person feels about a device is personal perception. You seem to be sensitive to things other are not as overall the reviewers and most of the owners talk glowingly about the lack of issues as you describe especially compared to the big flag ships such as the Galaxy S8, 8+ and Note 8 that costs significantly more. I've seen YouTube videos of side by side speed and battery tests with these top brands and the OP5 smokes them.
I can definitely see the micro stutters and frame drops here and there as well on the stock 4.5.14 ROM and kernel. I'm not saying its not fast (it is) but its not 60fps all the time like how a Pixel is. For context I was using a Pixel and S8+ before this.
As of right now, I'm using the OP5 with the RenderZenith kernel (an EAS kernel). As far as I can tell its now behaving similarly to my previous Pixel with noticeably fewer frame drops.

you are the first what I see that he wrote such a negative experience for the Oneplus 5. According to me, this is the racket even the stock visual style. If you find a suitable combination of ROM, kernel, then the OP5 is "Stalin organ"
