[Q] Lockscreen notification lag.

So I got a white Note 4 yesterday (the N910U, which comes with the Exynos inside) and I love it. It's fast, snappy and powerful and I've had almost absolutely no problems with it so far.
There is, however, one thing that I've noticed, and would like any suggestions on.
Whenever I get a text message/SMS, the lockscreen will sometimes suddenly become really laggy. Pulling the status bar down, clicking on the message notification and any unlock effect will lag pretty horrendously.
I've tried replicating this by sending texts to myself, and most of the time the lag is there while sometimes it isn't.
If there's no message on the lockscreen though there's no lag no matter what I do to it. This only happens when I have a text message and the notification preview shows up on the lockscreen.
Any suggestions other than rooting? I don't want to root the device as it's brand new and has warranty (and I'll probably need that). It's weird because there's absolutely no lag anywhere else in the device even if I throw everything I can at it. This is the only place where the phone actually lags, and because I text quite a bit I'm hoping there's some kind of solution before Lollipop gets rolled out.

Bump. Anyone...?

I can't help you with this specific "lag" of the notification screen. What I do know is that there are (a lot of?) users who are having all kinds of lag on their Note 4. I'm one of them. Check if you have the latest firmware. In my case the latest firmware (december 2014) "cured" lag here and there....not all, but a lot.

I have the latest firmware for my region - ANK5.
It's the only place I have lag throughout the whole device... so I wonder if it's a case of "your mileage may vary". Hoping it'll be fixed with future updates though - thanks for the answer anyway.

OP2 Screen rotation periodically stops working

Hi folks
I received my OP2 in July 2016, and this issue has been a mild periodic annoyance. As I approach the end of my warranty, I want to be 100% confident that this issue is software rather than hardware... (so rather than a fix, my highest priority is confirming that I do not have a hardware defect)
The issue is that the screen rotation will stop working for most, but not all apps (OnePlus Camera is the sole exception, it seems). It will rotate normally for a couple weeks and then I'll notice in some app, usually YouTube or Facebook first, that the screen orientation won't rotate anymore. Once I notice it in any app, no other app rotates either except the stock camera. I have been experiencing this symptom on-and-off for most of the time I've had the device, spanning multiple OOS releases (currently 3.5.8 and still happening).
A reboot fixes the condition, then it works fine for a week or two and comes back. OnePlus support suggested a factory reset, which I've done pursuing this issue before, and it didn't help (it immediately helped, obviously, but the issue did return on the same schedule as before).
I had my OP2 rooted, but still using the stock ROM otherwise, for several months (to be able to use Adblock). I reverted to 100% stock configuration pursuing this issue, it happened the same before/during/after the time it was rooted.
I have checked out the accelerometer with the app "Test Your Android" and watched the graph in the "gravity sensor" test. When the phone is in its non-rotating state and I rotate the phone, the graph lines cross but the app stays in portrait. This makes me think the phone knows it has rotated. I reboot the phone, redo the same test, and the graph looks similar except the app now rotates as well (ironic, really).
Is there a background service for "screen orientation" similar to how Play Services provides GPS information to other apps? If so, am I right in suspecting that the service responsible for answering the question, "what way is the device oriented currently?" is either not answering, or answering incorrectly?
I would prefer not to go to a third party ROM just to test this as I'm very happy with the current config of my device, other than this issue popping up from time to time. Any input is appreciated.
Thanks!

OOS has a tonne of services running under android system continuously. Screen orientation feedback might be one of them. I haven't used OOS in months. It doesn't seem like a hardware issue since a reboot solves it. If it is too frustrating then try testing it on a custom rom. You can switch back to stock once you are sure it was a problem in OOS or not.

The more I think about it, the more stupid it seems to have a device that is rather well-supported by custom ROM devs and to not try some out.
I'll shop around for a ROM and give it a shot. I'm thinking and hoping this is strictly a software issue.

In case you want suggestions, try these:
Bliss
Halogen
Validus
Lineage 13

Well, I have the same issue on my OP2 intermittently and it does not matter which rom I am using. In addition to OOS, I have had this issue on Marshmallow Cyanogenmod / Nougat Lineage based roms. Sooner or later it always returns. It seems to happen after longer uptime periods. E.g. with OOS3 I had an uptime stretch of 40+ days (without a reboot), so during this time I experienced the autorotation issue multiple times. It seems to get fixed by itself, but then comes back again. A reboot fixes it usually for longer period of time. As I am now on a custom rom, which is updated quite often, at least once of twice a week, the uptime stretches are not that long and I do not experience this issue often. I have noticed that the step counting sensors also stop working intermittently.
On rooted lineage based rom you can manually restart the sensors with following terminal commands:
su
stop sensors
start sensors
Don't know if this works on OOS. I made a tasker task shortcut for this on my homescreen.

Interesting...I have had the problem on-and-off I'd say, sometimes it follows this ~2 week pattern, sometimes it'll go longer than a month with no issues that I've noticed. Of course, it's also fairly rare that I watch videos on my phone and this is the main time that I realize it won't rotate.
Of course, with the current trend being to make all videos square with unnecessary obnoxious text in the letterbox black space, I suppose I'll never need to rotate my phone again </sarcasm>.
Prior to utkarsh102's suggestions I had already flashed AOSPExtended so I'm going to try rolling with this for a short time, if any issues surface (unrelated to my rotation issue) I'll try another ROM. Given that I'm trying to diagnose this issue before my warranty runs out (yeah, shoulda done it sooner, I know) I'll need to have a usable solution that can run stable for weeks uninterrupted to catch this again, if it's going to happen again.
FYI OnePlus support was entirely unhelpful about this issue. They completely disregarded the fact that it is intermittent and was not currently happening when I reported it to them. They were not able to suggest any diagnostic effort I could take to narrow down the issue further. Viewing the accelerometer readings was my own idea, not theirs. That suggestion absolutely should have come from them.
I do know I'm/we're not isolated in having this issue as there are other forum posts on various sites complaining of it.
I'll keep this thread updated with my findings, in the meantime anyone who has experienced this issue please chime in. It would be helpful to present to OnePlus, though I get the impression they won't care as they seem to have classified the 2 as a legacy product at this point. It's not like we're trying to get parts for a dot-matrix printer here.
Edit, October 2017, to provide an update without bumping the thread:
I've been using AOSPExtended on a constant basis since my last update to this thread and while I have experienced a variety of other issues, this particular one with the screen rotation has not affected me. My uptime has never been super long, but long enough at times that I should have seen this issue if it were going to happen following the same pattern as before.

Unresponsive touch when phone runs. After lock screen and unlock it its all ok.

Hello there. Im new to this forum. Im using a A3 2016 galaxy model. I was running 6.0.1. I decided to update to 7.0 via Odin because this update hasnt released in my country. It was all good. The keyboard was fast and responsive. After a minute was unresponisve. i mean i was typing sthng fast and in the end only the half word was done! i googled this and found a lot of threads about this in nougat . After that i saw unresponsive pitch zoom in gallery. But when i lock and unlocked the screen zoom and keyboard lag was gone. i think its general unresponsive(not only in keyboard and zoom). I decide to downgrade back to 6.0.1 . Faster than nougat of course. But all of the sudden the probem was still there!!! Now im writing to help me out guys. I have some thinks in my mind:
1.Is Odin s fault?
2.I moved on to my village that temp is 40 celsius. Is the temp ?or the temperd glass became unresponsive cause of that hot weather? So its tempered glass fault ?
3. Is a hardware s problem? (i dont think so because all was good before *as i remember* )
Its just a temporary issue and will go away by the time ?
Note ! I wiped the cache and data 3 times at least!!!
Sorry for my bad English .

Same situation I thought is the fault of hardware not enought performant on some situation, the ram isn't suffisant to use two application on the same time, I find that nougat is more laggy than marshmallow but when nougat lag the phone freeze and with marshmallow it was more time to response probably du by too much information waiting ... Can you say me when you get thoses issues to may or may not confirm my theory

The stock keyboard is also very laggy on my A310f using any Samsung based Nougat ROM.
I generally use the standalone Touchtype Swiftkey, which is just head and shoulders above any other KB I've found, and which you can make almost identical(but better) via theming, if you really must have the look of the S-Keyboard. I'm also so used to the Swiftkey symbol/key layout and find it much faster and intuitive to type with in general.
I haven't found any other lag issues with Nougat on Samsung ROMs, other than keyboard input.

I think that happens when overheating.

I Will try intilization via Smart Switch to my stock rom.

Previous bugs still present in the latest firmware

I recently bought the blue colour version of azmpm1, and as usual it was having the same multi touch bug and below average front camera, then I checked for updates and first it downloaded around 560mb update and after installing it I again checked for updates and it installed the latest 19/09 update, so my phone updated only twice but now even if I'm on latest firmware the previous bugs like multi touch and poor camera performance are still present, I compared to my friend's phone who bought the phone very early and has got each and every update, it's like my phone skipped the updates in between where those bugs were fixed, I need help if anyone knows about it.

Oneplus 6T software issues

Hello guys,
I bought my 6T a few days ago and have been noticing some annoying software issues:
1. When I unlock my phone it doesn't take me to the application I was using before I locked the screen; it takes me to the home screen.
2. The recent applications keep getting cleared even though I've turned the battery optimisation off.
3. In the lock screen when there's a notification, the ambient display shows the notification but touching on it doesn't turn the screen on. You have to hit the power button or unlock the phone in order to check notifications.
There a couple of other minor issues like apps crashing and then restarting that don't happen too often.
Just wanted to check if others are facing these issues as well and if someone has any solutions.

Those sounds like bugs in the OS, I say this since I'm experiencing the same issues on my OP6 running Open Beta 6 (based off OS 9.0.4 for the 6T).
Have you submitted a bug report on OnePlus feedback page? This way it will get the right people in front and get the issues resolved.

The device and oxygen Pie is pretty new so you gotta give it some time for software update.
Also do you have the tmo variant or the unlocked version?
Because the tmo variant has not gotten any software updates yet.

That's a fair point. I haven't done it yet, but I will. Thanks for suggesting it.

I have the unlocked version. You're right it's still pretty new and OnePlus might have jumped the gun a little bit in releasing this in an attempt to be there first OEM to push Pie. Let's hope they fix this in a future update.

I think I finally figured out why the recent apps get cleared. OnePlus has set the background app limit to 16 which is retarded. I remember it was the same on the OnePlus 3 as well. And of course you can't just modify the build.prop file to increase this limit.
It's things like this why we need root. I'm probably gonna have to do it soon if I don't find a way around this.
