Keyboard lag

Whenever I type. The keyboard feels laggy. As if my typing is two seconds faster than what's showing on the screen. Vibration feedback is also laggy everything else feels snappy. Any idea what the problem might be guys

same problem here. even with swiftkey. the problem went away yesterday and now it is back

I get the same behavior. I just ignore it because what I type is usually correct. It's just annoying and throws me off sometimes.

And please do contact Samsung and tell us what they suggest as a solution. In sure this isn't a hardware issue cause this keyboard seems to have no such lag .

Hey, are you logged into your SwiftKey account? I think the lag is due to the account data with SwiftKey, I deleted my word predictions from SwiftKey cloud storage and it seems to be fine now.
Do try and let me know.

I have the same problem with SwiftKey... Tried to search everywhere but couldn't find any solution for this... Even the Samsung keyboard seems laggy.. Tried to restore factory default settings and cleared SwiftKey data... Still the same... ?

Android Pay can't be used

So Android Pay isn't working on my device I get the following error
"Android Pay can't be used
Google is unable to verify that your device or the software running on it is android compatible"
I was using it before without issue, then it just stopped working. I have even factory reset my device and I still am not able to get it to work. And no I have not used Package Disabler to remove anything, in fact, I do not even have it on my phone. And I am obviously not and have not previously rooted since (last I saw) it's not even an option.
Any thoughts?

Do you have displaying scaling enabled to condensed or changes your dpi?

That's your issue right there lol
You'll have to disable it to use android pay.
One of my friends had the same issue, you'll most likely have to wipe cache and data for android pay after you disable condensed mode

Thats so dumb, do you know if there is an ADB command to modify Buildprop to change the DPI?

Thanks for your help good sir, I am sorely disappointed that this is happening. I love the condensed look....

I have the same issue with condensed dpi. Anyway, Samsung Pay works better.

AT&T and Samsung bloatware

Anyone got a list of system apps we can safely disable?

Just disable all of the AT&T stuff. I haven't had any issues.

No problem.
For what it's worth: After I disabled these I booted to Recovery and wiped the cache partition.
It was stuttering and laggy for the day, but after updating everything and a couple of reboots things have seemed to settle in nicely. Good luck!

Here is my Updated disabled. I had an issues with enhanced audio set up because of a package I had disabled. Also, I dot use Android Pay, Gear Stuff or VR stuff. https://1drv.ms/u/s!Ajwyu5YpXo8VnyywF6caYaVEc3nL

Which package specifically was the problem with enhanced audio. Want to check and see if I have that one disabled.

It was either AudioConnectionService or SapaMonitor.
You can tell if you go:
Settings>Sounds>Sound Quality and Effects>Adapt Sound.
If adapt sound opens up then you are good. If adapt sound doesn't open after you tap on it, then you would need to re-enable one of the above. Sorry I don't remember exactly which one it was. But, its one of those. I actually have them both enabled with no change in performace or battery life btw.
Let me know if you need more help.

The free ones at least.
Most often ads are made by apps like Clean Master, DuBattery Saver and related apps. You don't need those things anyway.

Sorry. Got mixed up replies. Well again fix the app. Try reinstalling the app. And don't move it to sd card. You could also try a cache wipe.
Sent from my Galaxy S7 Edge Duos via Tapatalk

If numerous apps are doing it then i suspect something more sinister!
If it was one single app constantly crashing then its a bug in that app. So as chanchan says, update the app, report issues to the developer or uninstall it for a few days and hope the issue is resolved by the dev. If its happening to multiple apps then its either malware or youve done something horrible to your phone i.e. a failed root.
I would insist you try a free virus scanner from the Play Store and check your phone as those messages could be malware popups and each click is a masked install of further malware! My recommendation is the free AVG scanner.
If it is malware then you can try letting the AV clean it up but in my experience, its never as effective as a factory reset. You will always be vulnerable to further infections otherwise.
If youve been playing about with your phone prior to the issues then its difficult to diagnose without the phone itself. Of course a factory reset is an option but i personally understand how annoying the aftermath of a factory reset can be!

I don't think malware is the problem cause I have Lookout W/ their VPN service setup on my GS7E so I don't think I'm getting anything like that, so what else could it be?
Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk

If your certain you are malware free then the only other thing is a bad OTA update. You havent been rooting or using a custom rom have you?

What about Samsung+ could they help @ all or should I still do factory reset like U just said 2 do?
Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk

First of all have you downloaded and installed apps from anywhere besides the Google Play store? If not then it's not malware.
Your VPN could cause an issue if apps are unable to connect to servers.
Are you on stock firmware and recovery? If not you might need to flash a different ROM through recovery or stock firmware through Heimdall or Odin.
You have not given enough information for any solid solution, so try troubleshooting.
Get a logcat. Try getting rid of VPN. Try clearing cache, dalvik, and defaults. Try factory reset. Try reflashing firmware or rom.
