Note 3 sm-n9005 Everywhere stattering

Hello! I've bought 3 days ago the note 3 and the first thing I noticed is that everywhere in the OS i experience (I think this is called..) stuttering! Everywhere except video playing through build in video player I see stuttering. In browser, games, apps, scrolling and worse of all Youtube! The video is like skipping frames. The sound is good but the video is not at all smooth! I enabled developer tools and enabled the setting to show me gpu usage in bars. When I experience statturing the usage of the gpu instantaneously is full and then back to normal.I've tried reseting phone removing my sd card and when the phone was only with the factory installed apps I updated youtube app and played a video and again the same even in non HD videos.... >:-X I've read somewhere to enable gpu accelaration in 2d apps neither this worked.. I've also noticed that in antutu benchmark. When the benchmark was in 3d test although the fps was around 40-60fps the image was not smooth at all! IT IS DRIVING ME NUTS! Does anyone else have the same problem with me? It is something that the average user want bother him too much and he can live with it but for me is the worst thing! I paid 750euros for the device and I want it to run smoothly at least the most of the times..! Before this device I had the note 2 and I didn't have ANY of these problems! I mean not even 1 of them! If this is not something I did wrong and it is samsung problem then it is anacceptable! What can I do?

you got a problem i would take it back cause mine is fine.

My Note3 is silky smooth fast even with high bit rate high definition video. You must have a fault and I would get it exchanged ASAP.

Definitely something wrong there. My Mega 6.3 didn't suffer from stuttering but Note 3 still feels super fast after that.

Eh eh
i love this HUGE Problematic posts that someone with zero posts apperas in android forums suddenly after sammy releases... really fun & great posts i love them

Thank you
Thank you all very much for all the responses! I called samsung and they told me that they don't know something about this and they will search for the issue and call me back after 3 business days.....

When I'm playing video from the built in player or MX Player is runs smooth all the time. Youtube app has the real problem! When you are playing from youtube runs smooth on you phone?

I watch YouTube videos all the time, no issues whatsoever. Try clearing cache/reinstalling youtube etc..
To OP: Either you have some really rogue app running in the background, or your phone is defective. I have none of these issues on my Note3 and I've had it since 25th of September.

Same issues here just did a system reset and will bring it back tomorrow if still the same. Very disappointed ofcourse!

I guess that my phone is defective. As I said in previous post I've reset the phone. I've cleaned the cache and reinstall it bebore reseting it. But the problem is not only on youtube. It is in almost all apps excluding build in video player. Now if I have to give it back and get a new one should I go to Samsung service or the store I've bought it? And one question more. If the phone is from a telephone company is there a chance the OS could be damaged from them. Are they touching the software before get it to the market? Because I've noticed that after every reset the first time I open Safari the start page is Vodafone. I've bought it without contract. Is there any possibility that all these happens for this reason?

Thank you all!
They finally changed my phone! At first they told me that this is a minor issue and they don't know if they could change the device for this...... :laugh: Hahahaha in their dreams...........! I went to they store manager and I make him take my device and compare it with the store's demo device.. Finally he gave me a new one.. :victory: And it's working perfectly!!!! I really love it! I was very dissapointed at first with the other device because I was thinking that maybe that's how the phone is or I should be waiting for an update to fix their issue... :silly: Thank you all for your responses! You were very helpful! I'm very happy to belong in your forum community and from now on I will be very happy to help where ever I know my help!

Shield games Portal and half life?

Just wondering if anyone had tried to run these, should work given that the note 7 is Tegra 4 right? Not sure about the controls though...

I tried with xbox 360 pad (rumblepad 2 didnt work (mapping problem)) and hl2 shut down on loading screen. Main menu work well. I think that maybe 1gb of ram on our tegra note.

I can play all the way through to the part where you jump out the window of the interrogation room (about five minutes in) but everytime I open that first door the game tries to load and then crashes. sucks because everything up to that point runs pretty damn well. it might be a lack of ram issue.
using a moga pro controller in B mode. didn't even have to map keys it just worked.

it's definitely a ram issue. I tried running a screen recording program to show you gameplay, and it would record just fine until the game tries to load. the game would crash and take the recording app and everything else along with it including my Bluetooth connection and ram monitor xposed module. if I start the game after a fresh boot and ram purge, the game will load fine and run buttery smooth until I get to a part where it needs to load again. sucks because it's perfect otherwise even on balanced power settings. nvidia really crippled the tablet with only 1gb of ram. even shield owners are complaining about the really long load times so it's no wonder the note doesn't stand a chance.

I reckon if we can debloat the ROM to make around 500mb free ram it would be perfect.... SO there can be a custom rom for hardcore gaming lol which is totally debloated with only a few services.... Thats what we need.... A very very very light custom rom!!:laugh:

Or maybe hl2 with texture compression.

I'll reinstall the game and upload a log by tonight.

Tried Portal tonight and seemed to work fine (I managed the first few levels) unfortunately there is some sort of glitchy overlay blocking most of the screen. The game behind is running just fine though. Will see if I can grab a screenshot.
:EDIT: Just gave HL2 a shot and seems to work just fine, played about an hour with no crashes/issues. The odd stutter but that'll likely be due to the RAM differences.

What controller did you use? HL2 seems to run fine for me but I tried an xbox one controller with a USB otg cable and cannot map the analogue sticks.

I used a PS3 controller via an OTG cable. Xbox 360 controller would just spin and spin. Unfortunately though after a while the game would crash on HL2.

We would need a kernel whit swap support. Memory speed of tegra note is 11 MB ,with roehsoft ramexpander is possible expand up to 4 GB.

reboots while playing games....

Anyone else?
Every game I have tried playing, causes the player to reboot spontaneously. No single thing seems to trigger it, just reboots at some random point while playing games. Using the Asus controller.
Everything else seems to be smooth.
Games tried:
Badlands
Riptide 2
Minion Rush
Sky Force 2014
BombSquad
Hungry Shark Evolution
Beach Buggy Racing

indeed
Hi.
Yes I have the same problem. Clearing the data worked for beachbuggy and bombsquad the first time i ran into this issue. Yesterday, bombsquad crashed no matter how many times I cleared data or uninstall/reinstall.
I'm trying to find out where to report this to google.

Crazy thing, but is the power plug /really/ jammed in deep and something put on the cable to make sure it doesn't wiggle loose?

I tried using online chat from the nexus troubleshooting page, but it never loads.
I have also used adb/fastboot to re-install the factory image, it didnt help.
May try using the call option on troubleshooting page when I have more time.

Well, in a word, no, its not the power cord.
I could understand if it happened at just any random time, but it happens only when playing a game.
I can stream movies for hours at a time using plex, stream music, etc. never reboots. Play a game, and it can happen within a second, or 5 minutes, but only when playing a game.

Thank you both for reporting, I finally have time and am requesting a call from them now as well.
Glad to hear it is working, its is extremely frustrating trying to use it now.
Well 45 minutes later on phone, I got RMA, just waiting on new one to arrive now. Says it leaves on the 25th, hope it is sooner.

Just to follow up, replacement arrived today.
So far not a single game crash. Also not had the audio drop-outs yet either.
Plex still will freeze on some movies however. I suspect this is more plex's problem as opposed to the player itself.

Mine still crashes in games quite a bit. I'd be interested in your experience over the next week or so, specially if it indeed has stopped crashing in games over the mid-term. Thanks for the updates.

Hi, is your crash before RMA or after RMA?
I am facing crashes and reboot issues on Nexus Player, while playing Asphalt 8 and Air Race.
Still contemplating if I should RMA or wait for OTA software updates which may or may not resolve the issues.
For those who have RMA, did the help desk say it's a hardware or software problem?
Seems to be memory overflow issue, the 1GB ram is overloded, causing some memory leakage, and as a result the unit rebooted?

I haven't RMA'd... some other gentlemen above have, however. I'll be waiting for the next update and see if that fixes things as games are not my priority with the box, streaming from my nas and the net is. For those purposes, my NP is solid.

Thanks for the reply. I read from other forums that Lollipop has a reboot apps bug due to memory management. keeping my fingers crossed that the next software update will solve the games rebooting issue too.

I will second that. My RMA'd unit has yet to reboot while playing games, or at all for that matter.

I was also getting spontaneous reboot and audio dropout. Problem was solved by getting a replacement unit. Could hardly start a game of Asphalt 8 or play it more than a few seconds without it rebooting.
There is definitely a pattern here - that some units are marginal.

I've been having the same problem with the following games:
Asphalt 8
Beach Buggy Racing
Sky Force 2014 TV
God of Light TV
Games that I haven't had a problem with:
Badland
Bike Rivals
Called Google today and talked to a rep who hadn't heard of this issue before, but said it sounded like an issue with the apps and suggested I contact the developers. After reading about the RMA success stories, I'll be calling back tomorrow and pushing for RMA.

Gaming on Mi A1

Hello everyone
I have been using this Mi A1 from a month or so and playing games like 8 ball pool,shadow fight 2,asphalt 8,clash of clans and more.
Whenever i play shadow fight 2 there appears a message saying that the FPS(frames per second) on this device is low please set the graphics quality to low and after doing that the game lags like hell.
And even 8 ball pool difficult to play as aiming is really difficult.
Then i searched the internet and found something in developer options Force 4X MMSA for increasing FPS but after enabling that the game still lagged.
Has anyone experienced the same problem as i did or it is just my phone.
And my device is not rooted.
Please tell your experience and if you know the solution to my problem.
Thanks in advance

Everythink works fine on me. No lag on shadow fight 2. I've done 4-5 fights in row and everything runs smothly.

Thank you for giving me your company??.
Just joking as soon as I get free from my exams I'll go to the service centre and ask for the solution to it.

Got the solution.
Just reflash the stock rom.img file via fastboot it works pretty well for me.

For All The People Who Faces Lag in Games or Generally using the device!

Today I found something interesting happened to my phone it was running buttery smooth like it should be (821), and most of all the game i play everyday wasnt lagging at all, PUBG
Solution: DO NOT USE SMART CLEANING app or any other kind of it, your phone will start running smooth in next 3 4 days or maybe less.
Try this and share me your experiences.
Comment to let me know you're trying this.

Thanks. I'll give it a try and see if it makes a difference, because the amount of lag I experience while playing Cytus II is unbearably bad and makes the game nearly unplayable.

So dont use anything at all and itll work smooth? ok ill try that

Hi
Are you referring to the Smart Doctor build in app?
Did you disable or uninstall it?

It's been 3 days and I've reached a verdict. Doing as the OP said actually made games run better. By that, I mean I disabled Smart Cleaning via LG Package Disabler and deleted Google Files Go.
I'm not kidding about this helping. Cytus II is playable now at full 1440p 60fps, with very few lagspikes. Other games I've played, like Alto's Odyssey, run somewhat better as well.
Go try it out yourself, it may help a lot!

The name is "Smart Cleaning" app. No disable/uninstall, I'm just not using it that's it. You can disable/uninstall it if you want.

After a factory reset a couple days ago the antutu graphics benchmark got noticeably choppier, especially the "marooned" scene which was previously completely fluid. That was a disappointment since that was one of the reasons for going through that process! I've now removed Google files go and I will see if that makes a difference, I hope it does. If so, thank you in advance.
Btw I think you meant "1440p" (QHD) not "2160p", that's 4k! ?

Yeah, that's right. Thanks for pointing that out!

This is serious guys, I deleted Smart Cleaning by ADB and my gaming experience increase magically, Shadowgun Legends can run quite good with Ultra high 60fps setting, it couldn't do that before. Unbelievable
PS: Tested only with latest Android 7.0

I have zero lag and i use smart doctor every other day.

Well, two weeks from when i see this thread and i stop using SmartDoctor / SmartCleaning app, just to say, this guy is right, using SmartDoctor / SmartCleaning app will (somehow, and i dont know how and why) make you phone laggy and in my tests if i open it like between 2 or 3 days and make a clean all UI and the app frezzes and i need to wait almost 1 minute to phone get out of the app and all be OK again.
So, my test really gives reason to this guy and i will delete the app from the phone, and i recomend all people with rooted G6 to do the same and use CCleaner instead to clean cache from apps and so on...
to the guy who discover the guilty of the lag: i cant pay you a beer, but you will be my hero forever.

Not working for me unfortunately... Still quite a bit of lag playing heavier games like csr2, Rr3 (practically unplayable), hungry shark world ?

I've had the phone since September last year and I don't think I've used it for more than 10 times. It lags anyway. Lowering the resolution does wonders, but it has some bugs that I don't like so I've switched back to lag.

If you are rooted, I highly recommend installing the new Adreno 530 driver, there is a decent improvement in games and definitely in Antutu...

does this stil work as of now?

This reads like bull****. What is "smart cleaning"? Is it supposed to be an app? The instructions are super unclear.
Smart Doctor cannot be disabled either. You can just disable it running in the background.
