spectre slowdown embedded ?

anybody have changelog or something ?

Also out for dual SIM variant (G8142). One thing I noticed that's fixed is returning to apps from lock screen seems to work better. Specifically in Desert Golfing if I lock the screen from inside the game then unlock, the game somehow picked up the wrong resolution and shrank itself to 1/4 of the full screen. Works fine now.

Woke up to the OTA notification this morning here in the UK. Seems all good so far.

4.1.2 broke swiping?...

Is anyone else having problems with swiping left and right etc since 4.1.2?
My device recognises the swipe but doesn't complete ie when ctolling through home screens the page won't move to the next page it will stay where it is and you just see the page move a little bit and then go back.
Hope that makes sense.
Please reply if you're having this problem or not

I've noticed this as well since 4.1.2 but it only happens for the first few seconds after switching the screen on. I've had to apply a bit more force in swiping to bring down the Notifications or to go from screen to screen on Home and the app drawer. Gently flicking the screen doesn't work and stuff like Notifications just flips back up, but after 20-30? seconds it works fine again.
I've noticed this aswell, but don't think the new update is the cause as I was experiencing it before.
Just out of curiosity do you use another device such as HOX? Because I have a HOX, and the swiping is much smoother on that, flicking goes from screen to screen rather than a drag which the Nexus required, if you do use another device perhaps its just the change in device like my case ?
Hmmm.
Cant decide whether or not to take it back and try a replacement.
As said above i have to now use a full swipe across the screen with my finger while holding the tablet in the other hand. I cant just use one hand and flick it with my thumb like i used to be able to.
Ive done a factory reset but that hasnt helped at all.
Ill upload a video of the problem soon so you guys can compare it to yours.
OK heres a video of the problem...
Let me know if you guys have the same

I've noticed that my home screen is not as responsive, though I can't tell in your video if it's as severe. I have to make a strong swipe to move to the next page or it will just bounce back to the current page I'm on. So sometimes it takes me a couple times to switch screens since I'm used to it normally changing. Hope that makes sense.
I run CNA 3.8.0 which uses 4.1.2; I haven't noticed that problem previously on 4.1.1
I also have to swipe the notification bar further in order for it to stick. I used to only have to go 1/3 to less than 1/2 of the screen for it to work.
I have the same issue

I have %100 same issue. Just like in your video.
I hope google will solve this with 4.2
Same issue, would agree that it is worse for the first 20-30 seconds after waking up the screen. Really is quite a pain.
This definitely happens for me, and it definitely started with the 4.1.2 update. It's not a big deal to me, but I can't believe Google didn't catch it.

I hope google solve this with 4.2. Because it's very annoying .!!
Glad its not just my device thats broke.
Lets hope 4.2 sorts it out.
How did google not notice this when they were doing tests...
Only place I notice this is home page and app drawer. New with 4.1.2, and quite irritating. I blame the Apple rubber band patent!

I've got a new c9O 32GB and mine does the same thing. Its better if I use one hand to hold it from the edges while using the other hand to touch. Using one hand to hold and swipe/scroll/ anything is an effort in futility. And its not just at the Home screen/App menu for me. It also locks up completely from time to time. Do we know what kind of memory the 32GB model uses? Not happy about this at all. Asus really screwed up on this one.

I have this issue as well. My first nexus which was a 16gb didnt have this problem but my current one which is a 32gb does this, especially with the notification bar which is quite annoying. Not sure if its because of 4.1.2 or if its the hardware itself because it updated immediately when i got it so didnt have a chance to use the 32gb before it updated.
has anybody tried the 4.2 update to see if it has fixed this?
Bump . I'm waiting for mine to come in the mail from Asus.

I think the problem is gone in 4.2.
At least I have not seen it yet - swipe across half the screen works again to change page.
I still get it in 4.2 :crying:

Gyro issues?

Anyone else having gyroscope issues?
stock rooted 4.2 Rom, opened last night.
I got mc3 and the gyroscope is weird.. Up/down moves the game left and right, left/right moves the game up and down.
I downloaded elixr 2 and it did the same thing. And also android sensor box.
I can take a video if nobody gets what I'm saying.

Okay, that's a good sign.
Btw what apps/games work correctly for you with the gyroscope?

All of the sudden, I attempted to use Photosphere on my N10 and the 3D grid is doing barrel rolls uncontrollably. I shut down, restarted and the same thing happened. This is definitely a gyroscope problem. I downloaded Android Sensor Box and the gyro cube spins just like photosphere. Weird thing is that I can play Need For Speed and it works fine. I downloaded GPS Status and followed the calibrate procedure which fixes the spinning, until I reboot.
I know a factory reset is probably in order but I really don't want to spend 90 minutes setting it all up again, losing my name progress etc.
Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=XF4sTj4PIt4
Photo Sphere mode worked all right for a month. All of a sudden, the blue dot kept drifting all the time, or just showing the wrong orientation, so no image could be taken. Checked with Sensor Kinetics app - the same thing constant drift to one side. The support suggested to Reset the tablet to factory defaults. Seems to have solved the problem, but not the best solution as I have to reinstall the apps again.

Did it fix fingerprint lock?
Sent from my SM-N915P using XDA Free mobile app
It did not I noticed there is a tiny bit of lag when using the pattern unlock now too. It takes a half a second for the phone to unlock after entering the pattern. Overall though my phone is running smoother with near zero lag except when unlocking.

That sucks. Thanks! It's annoying I had to turn it off because it would randomly freeze and kick me back to the lockscreen after a few seconds of being frozen. Took me a while to figure out it was the fingerprint lock causing it. Note 4 also had the problem but according to them it was fixed on their last ota. My phone has been a nuisance since lollipop smh

facebook not working
After this update I have the same error that lte icon is not revolving, I believe it isn't connecting to the Spark network.
The other big problem is that my facebook app (official) was crashing, so I uninstalled it and when I try to install via Google Play it doesn't install giving me the -500 error.
I looked in the logcat and it has to do with the some permissions. This was an android bug in 5.0.1 but google fixed it, but with this OTA it has crept up again.
Would it be possible for someone to upload a flashable zip?
Update does fix the fingerprint bug. Working flawlessly since putting it back. Overall phone feels snappier like the day I first bought it. Also like that they got rid of the dreaded spinning spark icon plus signal on band 41 no longer displays just one bar and instead is showing 4-6 bars while inside home! Battery life also took some improvements from this ota.

It'll just be the same pattern after note 5 gets marshmallow. Their phones always work great with the original os it comes pre installed with till they update and it's a mess. Been like that since my S1. They lucky I'm a committed Samsung head although I'm tempted to test the Nexus 6p..

Anyone know anything about regaining root with this?
My Spark connection took a hit. I'm no longer doing 70+ mbps. When I run a speedtest the build up starts off slow and then picks up. B4 update it would fly straight to like 50 and keep increasing. Now I start of like at 10 and by the end reach around 30-40 mbps. I want a new update with new radios ?

Sprint has removed the Wal-Mart Spark icon in recent updates on other phones, in fact, they seem to be discontinuing the mention of Spark in general.

I hope others do not have this issue. Root Metrics is using the Note Edge to test the Sprint network and some results have been not favorable (others have been). Last thing they need is an update to make it worse!

I don't care about the little spark star. I'm talking about my speeds in general. Seems the radios in this update are not as great.. I like that the retarded star is gone and actually the way lte is being measured is better on band 41 then when we had the old icon. Before it would just sit at 1 bar but now I'm almost maxed out. Ps Spark is still a thing they just removed the icon because a lot of us hated it.

Build prerooted stock Rom
Can anybody know how to build pre-rooted for this ROM? I need help to build pre-rooted rom on windows OS but i only find tutorial to make pre-rooted rom for samsung on linux OS. Sorry for my english!
I noticed the icon change as well the other week. Overall, the phone seemed to run better, at least to me. I purchased the Nexus 6P last week and really love the phone, however, doesn't work well with my Gear S watch..........and I miss it. I'm thinking of reactivating my Note Edge......anybody want a new Nexus 6P, Frost, 128gb?
How much? @ycats!

Does your touchscreen wiggle when we hold finger on it?

Hi.
Just bought s7 edge loving it.
Before i was using iphone 6s. I also used note 5 for week i didnt liked touch response was bit low latency and slow unlinke iphone.
I really like new series. Everything is good. I started noticing new thing. Touch response is also good on this phone but I saw new thing. When we hold finger on touchscreen also like when we rearrange icon by holding it.
I see touchscreen is wiggling like a old phone is getting charge and touchscreen is shaking like virus..
Have you ever noticed that?
Or screen is over sensitive?
I will also make video to describe.

Doesn't do it here (using the Exynos variant)
I see what you mean but I have not noticed it on mine. I would if I had it because I'm sensitive to stuff like that. Though it IS a sensitive screen. Even after the update that fixed the severe oversensitivity. It's not a problem anymore though. Before the update it would register presses before you even touched the screen. Hovering the finger 0,5mm above the screen would trigger it.
I would say i have noticed what you are experiencing.
but not to a level it was noticeable./
To me it felt more like the phone was responsive to my touch more than previous devices.
And as this is incredibly quick, it was reflecting this on the animation
(While other devices that are slower would not show it)
I noticed this stopped when using the tip of my thumb instead of the flat.
But more productive, What version are you running?
There has been various updates that improve the stability.
I upgraded and rolled back due to loosing a feature.
(Whitelisting Caller ID) (Stops unwanted calls)
But noticed a improvement to the touch sensitivity being abit over sensative one may say

Thanks for replies.
Im running pd1 something like that written at last.
For me it's not big issue.
I hope you got what I tried to show.
I mean I only see wiggle when I hold finger after sec it get fine but for sec it wiggles. There is also a wiggle when I swipe left right instantly I'm not talking about it.
I'm talking about, when I try to zoom a picture. It wiggles when on stable finger for a sec. Software down the touch response after a sec then wiggle gets fine.

Yea it's not annoying but it feels cheap.
Actually cheap phones have this thing especially when we use it while charging.
I'm not saying s7 edge is bad phone. I still love it.
But I really seek fix for that.

This is a software "issue" and not a hardware issue, so this is something that can be fixed by an OTA. Could you install Nova Launcher and see if the wiggling is still there? I just want to check that it's not anything with the Samsung launcher.

bought a brand new indian set s7 edge. And i am also facing the same issue. What is to be done to fix it? I have tried the *#2663# stuff. It doesnt help at all.
Yeah my phone does that too!
It STILL ANNOYS me daily because I notice some imperfect scrolling! I am very sensible to smooth scrolling and I can notice some imperfections on this phone!
Besides it jumps up sometimes when scrolling down... and the opposite way around!
See my poll on g+: https://plus.google.com/+GeorgesGeagea/posts/Vp8Xc5nwTtt
Try *#2663# and Update the stuff there. It will help. What i think is that its an over sensitivity problem. Had it alot on Note 4. Not any on s7 edge. I have the Exynos version.

Issue with fingerprint sensor

Is anyone having difficulty unlocking the phone with fingerprint sensor?
It used to work like 95% of the time, but now I can barely get it to work.
Not sure what changed... maybe since the last software update?
Mine works perfectly, like 98 or 99% hitted. x720, 18s official.
Almost 100% for me.
Try to configure again.
