What little lag I had left after installing MODKiller and setting it up properly, has totally went away with the OTA update. Loving this phone now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] raqball:
The only place I am seeing issues is in messaging app when I open or close the keyboard.. There is lag and shuttering.

It's pretty bad with the Samsung keyboard but using Thumb keyboard or Swiftkey does help some. Even using these keyboards there is still lag and shuttering when opening or closing the keyboard..'
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] BlastTyrantKM:
I have no lag on my S4 anywhere. The only way it could be faster is if it opened apps BEFORE I click them. Since the biggest variable between any of our phones is the user, and only some people are reporting lag, the logical conclusion is user "error" of some sort. Less than optimal settings or the use of a task killer. And the lag caused by a task killer will be even more pronounced on a high resolution display like the S4
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] raqball:
:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Seriously? User error? LOLOL

I'm holding it wrong I guess...

Recognized developers are reporting lag so I guess it's user error on their part as well..

Edit to add:

Here is a well respected developer having lag issues

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] XsMagical:
I guess I was using the phone wrong too then huh? Lol

FYI a $700 phone should have 0 lag out of the box no matter how many apps you put on it.

Stroked from my Dirty Nocturnal'd Nexus 4
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] :
Just got the phone replaced. and it was blazing fast and updated it even faster then when I reset it and put my google account and synced my apps it slowed way down...

So im thinking it could be some data that was syncing so you might wanna try downloading apps manually and see if that helps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] raqball:
I never sync my apps or data.. If I factory reset (and I have 3 times with this phone) I always start fresh..

My only lag now after the update is in messages when opening and closing the keyboard.

It shutters / stalls / lags for a split second and makes it look jerky'ish if that made sense..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] skelevate:
So, what settings are recommended after installing the OTA update?

I feel like this would be a good time to get it all out there.

Force GPU Rendering?

Reduce animations or set to 0?

Disable S Voice?

Disable Bloat?

Disable <insert here>?

I think im returning mine because it laggs and it also gets very hot!!it gets so hot that when i tried to do a geekbench 2 benchmark it turned off by himself!! So i think i have a bad one!! But i need to unroot can some guide me or give me a link for how to do it?? Thanka in advance!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Grant H:
Mine first S4 got really hot and lagged badly. I returned it for another brand new one. This new one is perfect. Battery lasts forever, no lagg, no other problems. Go and swap it out and become a happy man.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] dlucks80:
I have no lag

My gs4 was a bit glitchy at first...then I got the update...it cleared up a bit....then I said screw it...rooted and then froze the att and Samsung crap apps...This thing is blazing fast. ...ps *MOD EDIT* pay for your apps, support the devs you depend on
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Baldilocks:
Because people deserve to be paid for the work they do. Thieves like you shouldn't even be here.

Who do you think you are? You dont know me and for one shouldnt be calling me a thief...because I get something off of a website does not make me a thief just smarter than you so dont go calling people names for stuff they didnt do illegally...toolshed.....I yes I have read some of your posts
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ExBrasil:
So because you're cheap and deprived a developer of money for something they worked hard to make, makes you smarter?

On the contrary it makes you ignorant.

I not on here trying to get into b a pissing match about what we all pay for I just stated in my first post my phone was blazing fast after a simple update root and app freeze...now you guys want to attack me cause i use thepiratebay....serious excuse me for upsetting you perfect people

So you guys are saying getting something for free is bad?

Getting something for free is awesome, I mean who doesn't like getting something for free? On the other hand, stealing, as in what you are doing is bad, very bad.

I 100% agree.

How are you not a thief when your using something that costs money and you didn't pay?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] BlastTyrantKM:
It's mediocrity... And who mentioned it, anyway? When I said "I don't have any lag", I didn't mean that I have some lag, but I'm ok with it. I ACTUALLY don't have any lag.

I found out today why I haven't had any lag from the start, with this phone. The first thing I did when I took this out of the box, after signing in to Google, was disable every animation & gesture. Those aren't the reasons I got this phone, and I don't need or want them. After unsuccessfully TRYING to make this phone lag by opening every app etc etc, I found some vids on YouTube demonstrating the lag. And disabling animations & gestures cleared it right up, instantly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] barondebxl:
Then return your phone whats the problem?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] falconeight:
I did return it it. The phone is plastic garbage.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] barondebxl:
Good. Why you still here? 4 reasons why someone hangs around a forum:

1. They are somewhat interested in the phone even if they dont admit it.

2. They are silly trolls

3. They are mods

4. they are devs.

You're not a mod nor a dev.....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] unremarked:
Cool story bro.

EDIT: On topic: Had some noticeable lag compared to my HTC One. Got the OTA, then rooted/froze bloat. Runs alot better now, happy with my choice. I have a feeling I'm really going to miss the HTC Zoe Highlights system. Really liked that, hopefully Story Album or a market app is comparable.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] falconeight:
I rooted, removed bloat, washed it, then just decided that it should be the smoothest phone on the planet because of its specs. The software is garbage. The screen and phone size is awesome but the software makes it a terrible user experience.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] :
Once the lag is issued fully in an update without having to change animations and stuff. Maybe I'll get the phone again and trade my one but idk it's growing on me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] burhanistan:
A fair amount of lemons must have been shipped to account for the vocal lag sufferers here. I've had a ton of Android devices since 2010, and the S4 is the snappiest of the bunch. I didn't root or debloat or nothin' and the only thing that appears to be lag is when folders on the home screens expand, but it's not a stutter, just a kind of plodding animation. I even have a total of 4 widgets going.

Anyway, people shouldn't have to root/debloat/optimize a brand new device to get it to perform well. I wouldn't buy a high end device just to have to perform critical maintenance on it right out of the box. Weird.

Is there a Sony Briava Engine & Sony Xloud flashable for HTC Evo 4G LTE ?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jocarog:
Don't know about a zip to flash, but this is part of venom tweaks in viper rom 3.1.4...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pimix2009:
I had that ROM then it got buggy after awhile so now im just looking for something to flash to get better picture quality
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jocarog:
I've been using it for a while on the senseless option, with nova launcher and never had lag or something like that, I'm very happy with it, I've tried some aosp roms and I keep losing signal when on sense I always have great signal even at my house where I have great 4G on aosp my phone keeps going to 3g or 1x...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] a senile fungus:
The super jelly ROM has amazing sound quality. Those guys worked hard to bring us a sound toolkit and their work really shows... Try that ROM out. Its sense, so you don't lose picture quality. Also has a bareback rendition which is senseless if you want it aosp-esque

HTH
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pimix2009:
I love the SOund on the SuperJelly Rom but the HatkaLTE has better picture quality and i'm sure it's because of the briava engine.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
A few weeks back my phone said there was insufficient space left. I couldn't find anything that was taking up this space but because I had flashed a few versions of PA without wiping I put the space issue down to this.

I then wanted to change to AOKP, so whipped and cleared everything before flashing. However the storage issue remains.

Anyone know what's going on?

[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZeroProxy:
I read about wakelocks and checked my phone to see if it is running ok or if any wakelock was running too frequently so I wanted to see if anyone can explain better how to understand, picture of my wakelock detector app if anyone can tell me if the apps I have are working ok and how do I read the apps results.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SharpnShiny:
Hi!

I don't know how much you know about this, that app should tell us what apps or processes are waking the phone from 'sleep'. These sometimes can be battery draining apps so it's good to check sometimes.

Using the picture you have, in my opinion, it's good news. What you don't want to see is apps or processes with long 'wake time' because that would say that app is working while your phone should be sleeping.

The longest wake time is a processes called 1013. I don't know what that one is to be honest. It has a time of 12 minutes 4 seconds. If that's a system process, that's probably not too bad. If it's an app, hopefully it's a 'start-up' process that doesn't need to happen again. If it is a user app and this keeps happening, it may be excessive. The next one is media with 11 minutes 49 seconds. Usually, that one is a media scanner on your phone which looks for new music/pictures/video. It happens every time you put something new on your SD card. 11 minutes is OK for the first time you use your phone, but after that, it should be a bit lower e.g. if you just put one or two new songs it shouldn't need 11 minutes to detect it.

All of the other apps and processes on your list are short in time. This suggests they are not waking the CPU much, which is good. Keep watch of this app to find 'battery draining apps'. :victory:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] USHwy129:
I have a Verizon GN2 that is brand new out of a sealed box running VRALL4. I attempted rooting with CASUAL 417b and it crashed at "protocol initalisation failed" (see details in my other post, sorry can't post links yet). I have rooted a few Droid Xs so not a total noob, but I am a little reluctant now to continue messing with this nice phone. With every attempt the risk/reward goes down for me, especially since my Droid X was on it's last leg :D

Anyway, question is, what is your opinion on CASUAL 417b and it's stability/reliability? If I used it on 100 phones, how many would be bricked, soft or otherwise?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nunyazz:
0 bricks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] USHwy129:
Wow zero? Seems a bit optimistic lol...seriously though remember it has already crashed on me, and although not a brick, that makes it zero for 1
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] N_Jones:
Your problem is your usb cable. Switch cables and it will run just fine....

Btw the software didnt crash it lost the connection to your phone. Oh and your phone wasnt bricked.

You might want to go back over to the casual thread and read a few post down... it addresses troubleshooting...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nunyazz:
I've used it on several phones and have talked with many others that have done their phone and we had Zero issues.

Your issue is probably because you tried to load a recovery without unlocking first. You can't blame that on the software....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cjk2010:
Anyone have any insight on what is required or if possible to have wifi calling on an unlocked/rooted VZW Note II running on TMO network?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
I was trying to get it working on a Verizon ROM I really liked. There were 3 libs and two apks I found linked to it.i never did get it working because there's also frame work references to it. Have you tried a tmo ROM to see if it would work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cjk2010:
I considered that but I am enjoying JellyBeans 14 w/Saber 21 far too much LOL

I may just sell the sch-i605 and pick up a retail boxed TMO version if I do anything. I also used the S4 for a couple of hours it I really cant get over the larger screen and real estate of the Note II ; so I wouldnt consider it an "upgrade". My Note II with an Antutu of 19K+ I really dont have any true use for the faster CPU of the S4 right now......
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bfitz26:
please correct me if i am wrong but i don't think this is even close to possible as wifi calling is not necessarily as software hack but this is something actually built into tmo mobile spectrum similar to like vzw's using data while on a phone call, i recall a verizon rep telling me this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cjk2010:
From what I have dug up and seen thus far its basically a SIP client with tmo ties back to the android framework. It has nothing to do with the tmo spectrum aside from which band your transmitting over as it is a glorified VoIP client from anything I can tell.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shrike1978:
Not "in the spectrum". It connects to the carrier over the internet, the normal cellular signal isn't involved at all. It requires both a helper app and framework support for it to happen though, and that stuff would only be present in the T-Mo firmware.

Here's a brief primer on it: http://www.wificalling.net/whatiswificalling/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
The part you're referring to is actually controlled by the sim card. But add stated there's a lot else just to get it running
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] imnuts:
There is a lot of stuff in the framework that needs added as well, on top of the APKs and LIBs. I believe most of it is in framework2.jar.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cjk2010:
You are def right. Was pouring through the tmo apk and then the decompiled framework2 and see its in IPCallTracker , IPPhoneProxy , IPUtils , WifiCallSwitchPreference and score of other places.....

This will not be a simple apk and lib drop .

[LG Optimus G (International)] geokilla:
Has there been a new CWM developed? The current one I'm using is AT&T CWM, and it lacks "Wipe Battery Stats", as well as has some errors in it as I can't mount the internal SD and connect it to the computer while in CWM.
[LG Optimus G (International)] chadouming:
It doesn't have wipe battery data cause modern fuel gauge doesn't need to have battery data wiped. That's rumour and never changed anything since 2009.
[LG Optimus G (International)] LNJ:
In rom manager choose the one for E975. It looks like the early version of what SK8 put out.

LG Optimus G E971/3/5/6/7
[LG Optimus G (International)] geokilla:
Looks like the CWM in Rom Manager got removed for Optimus G. It's now classified as unsupported... Back to using Sk8's CWM and it's built for the E970 and not E971/3/5/6/7, which gives errors and doesn't mount correctly.

I'll check the FreeGee.. I totally forgot about FreeGee having CWM or TWRP.
[LG Optimus G (International)] kimitza:
Well, i bought the app to support devs. It's the least i could do for them.
[LG Optimus G (International)] geokilla:
FreeGee says my Optimus G isn't supported. Could it be because I'm on custom ROM? Or am I supposed to use the beta one? Assuming the one available on Market didn't get updated.

Lol,if you are on custom rom,you are already unlocked and rooted. Why do you need freegee?

Sent from LG E975 pwd by CM 10.1

Because I need a proper CWM... Which is the point of this thread..
[LG Optimus G (International)] kimitza:
What is proper cwm for you?we have 3 : twrp 2.5.0(latest version),cwm and cwm touch,last to are 6.3.0.

You can find the images here on xda and flash them with rom manager premium or rom toolbox pro.you can do it via adb too,just look for proper commands.but it's easier and safer with one of those apps.

[LG Optimus G (International)] geokilla:
Can you link it? I can't find CWM 6.3.0. I'm using sk8's CWM for AT&T Optimus G, which always give mounting errors. I've never been able to find it :(
[LG Optimus G (International)] Shelnutt2:
Send me a pm if I don't get back to you. I'll add an option to freegee for flashing recovery only.
[LG Optimus G (International)] 2nd Sky:
Haha

Lol

I would send you an pm in the days

Can you add the function to flash an other recovery without the unlock funktion

Apps as goomanager, recoverymanager or rom manager cant find twrp and cwm only by rom manager :)

[General Questions and Answers] rans0m00:
Needing some advice... Currently have a Note 2 and love it but its not very easy to be very active with. Just slightly too big and costs too much for me to want to risk it coming out of my back pocket at 25mph (cycling) or out of a front pocket while running. Yes I realize I could just get something that more or less straps it to me but I don't really want another thing to wear.

So priorities... Small(3.5-4inch screen and as thin as possible), gps, gsm 2g,3g,and prefer lte but not required, and able to sustain screen on time of at least 3hrs while using gps and data at the same time. If thats getting to the edge of the expected battery life then changeable batteries is a must. I would prefer to stay in the range of 200-300usd.... Lastly must use microsim... and if possible a million dollars too.

I am pretty new to android so unfamiliar with what is a decent older handset that would fit my needs.
[General Questions and Answers] vima91:
So you must use microSim...meeh...that's a problem...really...

Apart from the microSim must....samsung galaxy S3 seems great....battery life is good...has 2G, 3G....i think no LTE...but the price is not great either....

Another great device is the Nexus....but then you would have gone too far from the awesome Note 2 :)
[General Questions and Answers] rans0m00:
The goal with using the microsim is so I don't have to get a new sim card and mess up my unlimited data plan with att. I would just swap sims.

I asked before I realized the microsim is pretty new so as of now it looks like I am limited to a new phone or in the older and slightly cheaper is the s3. There are other newer used phone but saving 75 vs buying new just isn't worth the gamble for me....

So the hunt continues... Current candidates are the s3,nexus 4,s3 mini, and possibly the Samsung rugby pro.

I hate to spend so much money on any of them but it might just be what it is... I saw on amazon the s3 mini for 279$ no contract.. Which would work.
