[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchellvii:
Well its all a matter of degree. "Infrequent hiccups" or constant disruptive lag and stutter? The most obvious solution is to dump Touchwiz Launcher. I use either Go or Nova. I have also disabled DVFS CPU throttling. My experience scrolling homepages and websites as well as opening and closing apps is lag and stutter free (as demonstrated in my video test). I don't consider my tablet a 3D gaming device so I don't have much experience with that. I did download and test one complex game and my framerates were smooth and stutter free on ultra settings.

Also not all users perceive framerates equally. Perhaps I just have slow eyeballs :)

Anyway I'm sorry you aren't having a good experience. Most owners, even in this forum where people having problems tend to gather, are not having significant issues. 2/3 did not have a lag problem and 80% felt their screen colors were accurate in two separate polls. But those who had issues REALLY had issues - hence my suggestion of a bad production run.

Hope it works out for you. :)

UPDATE: Just downloaded Iron Force, a 3D game and ran it from my SDCard. No lag starting or during gameplay. No stutter when transitioning between the game and my browser. Once in the browser no scrolling lag or stutter. From beginning to end a satisfying experience.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ukael:
I could hardly call the issue significant either. It's mainly visual comfort, on which I am extremely touchy. From the "latest top notch tab", I was expecting a perfectly smooth experience, even better if possible than the one provided by my older tablets. It is doing very good, and beats any chinese low cost tablet flat out. But compared to Nexus 7 or Note 8 it is clearly not as smooth. I sometimes have the feeling that the "closing app" animation is only composed of 2 or 3 images on my tab S, while it's well over 10 on my other tabs. I believe anyone watching the same action on both tabs would easily tell the difference, however it wouldn't be obvious at all to someone not used to the smoother experience.

Also, the issue is not reliable: Sometimes the animation will look rather smooth, sometimes not. I am wondering what could be running in the background that would affect performances this way.

The tab seems to be filled with crapware, lots of which is running in background on startup. With all apps closed, about 1.5gig of memory remains in use, even after a Clean Master cleaning. The system alone would use 1.5gig of RAM ? That sounds insane, even Windows 8 runs with way less than that.

I have seen what Cyanogenmod could do for the LG G-Pad, and I hope something similar can be done for the Tab S. Would rooting it allow to do some clean up already ?

I will go check in different stores if their demo tabs are affected with similar issues. One sure thing is I don't want to sit with a faulty tab.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchellvii:
I am hopeful regarding CM as well. My primary interest is to see if my browser will handle JavaScript faster without Touchwiz. Of course rooting will allow you to clean out or at least freeze gobs of crapwear. I've heard the Magazine UI on TW is a major memory beast.

Regarding the reliability of performance you might wish to disable DVFS using Wanam Xposed once you've rooted. It is a throttling Program Samsung started to implement in the SG4 I believe which can throttle your CPU speeds by as much as 50% when some relatively low heat thresholds are reached. This may explain why your tab bogs down over time and especially why it stutters after prolonged gaming. Tablet gets hot, CPU throttles, stutter. A nice kernel with some voltage and overclocking profiles would also help.

So why doesnt Samsung just get it right stock? One reason is that to the average consumer, battery life is king and stuff like DVFS prolongs battery life while allowing for these super high res screens.

Root, use a 3rd party launcher like Nova or Go, disable DVFS and debloat and you should have a more acceptable experience. Since your troubles aren't extreme doesn't sound like your tab is defective, just the victim of Samsung being Samsung when it comes to Touchwiz.

Good luck. I'm quite pleased with my 10.5 configured as above.

How'd you get black email? That's the stock one right?

---------- Post added at 01:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:26 AM ----------

If you use Go Launcher that issue is gone. You can choose whatever animations and they are extremely smooth
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcaplinger76:
Looked to me like that was the Aquamail Pro he recommended in another thread.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchellvii:
Yep that's Aquamail Pro. Can do black or white. Pretty slick interface. Try for free couple bucks to buy if you want more than 1 or 2 email addresses.

Yeah Go Launcher animations are butter. TW launcher is just a mess IMHO.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ukael:
Using Go Launcher, couldn't find how to change the "app opening" animations. The default one "zooming the app to full screen" still appears straight suttering to almost smooth.

Also, the suttering can affect any window opening with the same animation (including a simple popup window with little content in it). On another hand, the scrolling between different screens is perfect, both with TW and Go Launcher.

Would anyone know of tools I could use to measure RAM/ SSD/ CPU/ GPU performances and diagnose a potential hardware issue on my tab ?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Inkedadrenaline:
Try putting your animations to 0.5x thru developer options. That's what I always set mine too, maybe that's the difference.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchellvii:
I'm starting to become concerned about your tab. I have animations set to 1.0x and the opening/closing motion is butter smooth using Go. You may also try enabling hardware acceleration in Developer options.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ukael:
Dev options, that was an interesting idea that I forgot to play with, thanks!

Setting animation scale to 0.5x didn't help, the rendering actually seems to sutter even more.

However, setting it to 5x allowed me to gather more information: I can now see the animation starting perfectly smooth, and then struggle for half a second and then continue smoothly. The same setting on my Nexus 7 confirms my previous feeling: No shuttering at all, using the same app (Chrome) opening on the same webpage (this one).

Could it be the process of loading the app from memory (RAM?) that would cause bottlenecks that affects on-screen FPS? The issue doesn't seem to affect other scrolling effects, and playing load/close the same app several times in a row seems to slightly improve the result.

Tried enforcing hardware GPU rendering, no difference at all.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchellvii:
Dunno man. No issues here.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
Here are some tips to possibly help speed up Chrome:

http://www.omgchrome.com/improve-chrome-android-memory/
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ukael:
Thanks for the tips, I didn't know about this one.

I tried different settings, but it didn't help with the issues I encounter. Chrome only uses 19MB in task manager, even if I allow 512MB.

Also, Chrome is not the only affected app. Even the task manager and settings can be affected by stuttering, just not as reliably as Chrome when it comes to reveal it. Also, my N7 2013 and Tab S 8.4 use different interfaces.

And well, everything is pretty swift actually. Swift, but not as smooth as my older tablets. Maybe my new toy needs some more lubricant ?

Suprisingly, the amount of apps in the background doesn't seem to affect the stuttering either way. However, I find it quite surprizing that even after I turned off every Google and Samsung service that could possibly be disabled, 1,6GB out of 2,71GB of RAM remains used after all applications are closed. What in the hell can be using that much memory ?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
When I built my SkyHigh kernel, I found in the configuration file option to change how the RAM is used. I left it at default 2GB user/1GB kernel. Swap is enabled and I notice 1023 MB of swap space is reserved and used for memory. I assume this is same for stock kernel ? I can't check as I'm away, but you can easily see the size and usage with the "Diskinfo" app. Might have something to do with it, might not.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ukael:
Tried Diskinfo, the info is similar to yours: RAM: 2,3GB used out of 2,7GB. Swap: 250MB out of 1023MB.

I really don't understand. Sometimes the suttering almost disappears, sometimes it is nearly permanent, but only affecting the "opening/closing window" animation. Why is this specific animation bogus ? Does it require a specific

I ran benchmarks, they revealed excellent performances in every field. How can this tab perform so much better than N7 in Benchs and not be as smooth ?

- I tried alternative launchers, but this animation doesn't seem to be launcher dependant. It sutters all the same on all of them.

- RAM access ? Maybe, but how to make sure ? Benchmarks report excellent RAM performances.

- GPU lacking ? Why only on this specific animation ? And why would the benchmarks be so good ?

- TW flaw ? Lack of optimization for this animation with the provided processor ?

- High resolution making this specific animation tough to calculate ? But then, wouldn't everybody notice similar issues ?

I'm running out of ideas.

FYI, with the latest update to the OneNote app (it was entirely redesigned for tablets), I am not experiencing lag anymore. It looks like it was a software issue.
[HTC Wildfire S] Dude360:
Hi

I have some weird questions some problems that Im trying to figure out, hoping someone can help or point me in right direction.

Im not new to 'Android' but this are beyond my scope.

Ok, so, the WFS. Got it unlocked, S-Off, rooted etc thats all fine.

Now, the basis of my troubles come with the zips and updater-binary. It seems that every zip I have can be flashed on any device Ive tried (from N4 to a OUYA to a HUDL to a Nook Simple Touch etc) all except the ruddy WFS.

I either get a status error or a binary fail.

I used to have to grab a updater-binary from a current ROM zip and replace it in every zip I wanted to flash which just got annoying. Even then it will only be certain recoveries that will flash them.

I only use my WFS as a remote for XBMC and not as a 'phone' but like to keep all my devices as current as technically possible.

Im trying to find out what is the cause of this and how to make it so that all my zips work with all my devices off the bat.

Maybe not your usual questions but either way I could do with extending my knowledge a little and getting this sorted :)

{ffs posted in General by mistake, apologies}
[HTC Wildfire S] csoulr666:
What is it you are flashing exactly? And which recovery are you using? Could be a problem with the recovery you use
[HTC Wildfire S] Dude360:
I have many zips which do many things but they all use the same binary..

eg,

I have a zip which i use to remove .ogg from the /system/media/audio folder and extracts my own set of sounds. Or

I have a zip which has a game apk and its relevant obb files which extract to save me downloading them again.

etc

These have all been flashed on a large variety of devices without a hitch.

They will work on WFS using an update-binary from a WFS ROM zip but not with the one I use for the rest.

I have tried these on every recovery from CWM 5x to the very latest TWRP compiled recently by Oliver for the CM11 builds.

I suspect that it is something to do with the recovery as I also cant get other things to work.

eg.

For ROMCleaner we use a custom busybox binary which does some work in /tmp and our romcleaner binary which does the brunt of the work.

busybox will error (but for life of me cant remember what it says), while the RC binary will 'exit status 4'

Ive been playing with the WFS version of ROMCleaner for a long time now and am determined to get it working properly.

This is where my knowledge ends really, it could be something to do with the binary, with ARM6, the kernal used in the recovery or an evil gremlin determined to make me rake down and cry.

Just looking for big shove in the right direction.
[HTC Wildfire S] aWFSuser:
TWRP will not work with older update-binary. Could you upload an example zip which does not flash ?
[HTC Wildfire S] Dude360:
This is a test zip im playing with, all it does is extract busybox to /tmp, mount the three partition, make a folder on each partition then unmount.

Doesnt even get that far. Heres the part from recovery log, used CWM 6.0.5.3 from Oliver for this one.

-- Installing: /storage/sdcard0/test.zip
I:Cannot load volume /misc.
Finding update package...
I:Update location: /storage/sdcard0/test.zip

[B]I:Using legacy property environment for update-binary...

E:Error in /storage/sdcard0/test.zip
(Status 0)
Installation aborted.
I:Cannot load volume /misc.
I:Can't partition non-vfat: /storage/sdcard0 (vfat)

Assuming the bold part you meant about older binaries, just wondering why its only the WFS that cant do it and how to get round it.

Appreciate the time guys!
[HTC Wildfire S] aWFSuser:
A status 0 would refer to a update-binary or updater-script failure. CWM now falls back to a legacy mode when an older binary is encountered. So I would recommend to use a newer binary. Or you could try an older CWM. TWRP does not at all works with the older binaries since 2.3. What recovery are you using in your other phones?

BTW what rom are you using ? Because at least in CM there is no /storage/sdcard , its just /sdcard . I don't know about stock though.
[HTC Wildfire S] Dude360:
That error would make sense then, reverting to an older binary.

From memory, Ive used these binaries myself on:

Desire

CWM 5x, 6x

EXT4 Recovery All versions

Desire HD:

CWM 5x, 6x

EXT4 Recovery All versions

Nexus 4:

CWM 5x (I think it was)

TWRP 2.x to latest

Nexus 7:

TWRP 2.x to latest

Samsung S2

Aman Ra I think its called

Transformer 101

CWM 5x (I think)

Nook Simple Touch:

CWM 5x

OUYA:

CWM 5x

Tesco HUDL

CWM 5x

Several Cheap Chinese Tabs with CWM 5x

And as far as I know they've been used on the rest of the ROMCleaner devices as well, but have no idea about the recoveries as I was on hiatus for some of them.

Sensation

Incredible S

One X

One S

EVO 4G LTE

HTC One (m7)

HTC One (m8)

GNex

TF201

Galaxy S3

Galaxy Note II

Galaxy S4

I remember we did a LOT of testing with updater binaries to find one that was compatible with as many devices as possible but at the time none of us had access to a WFS hence why we were never able to check with them.

We we quite surprised that this one worked with everything we tested and tbh I cant even remember where it came from and Its still running on everything we throw at it!

I was using PA at the time, same error with CM11 though.

At the end of the day, the binary can be worked around. The romcleaner binary not working is (child status 4 error) cant!

Im beginning to think its definitely a recovery incompatibility, maybe the way it has to be compiled to run on ARM6 or maybe just particular to the WFS.

The romcleaner binary hasnt changed either and is running on the above devices as well.

Hi guys,

I don't want to be too rude with you but look what you can get from your device :

Note : I use Shaky156's marvelous kernel) ;)

From left to right : Antutu 5, Antutu 5, 3DMark, PC-Mark
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] rchrdcrg:
I have to be honest, when running Shaky's kernel, I see a lot more stuttering and hangups in games vs the stock kernel, not to mention the extra drain on battery life. I put mine back to stock after a week or so and it's been running better, so benchmarks be damned :P
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] chp2:
Could be normal sice not all the devices are born equal.

Concerning the battery drain, For my personal usage it's more than enough (I play PSX emu, Gaming, Videos, music, surfing, ...) and I don't complain till I have power for whole day.

For sure there are also lot of apps wich can cause wakelocks and don't let the device to go in deepsleep when needed. (Facebook, FB Messenger, Skype,...). I don't use them.
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] GodOfPsychos:
how the f*** did you do that? mine is 39635 on antutu 5 (also using the kernel by shaky)

are you using the odexed or de-odexed stock rom? any display settings changed? (for example: color correction Native or sRGB; Tegra Prism disabled?)

are you using any tweaks beside that? (like editing .prop or .xml files)
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] chp2:
First of all, be carefull with benchs since it's not representative to real life use.

Antutu scores are very unconsistent depending alot of background services and apps. Moreover, personnaly, I don't trust Antutu anymore. My pictures were there just to show them for comparaison.

I've done these bench just after upgrading my kernel to latest Shaky's kernel and after I removed (deactivated) lot of unecesary services and apps (specially these communicating apps). I use (the fantastic) LBE Security Master for that.

The main word is : the device has to be

clean

during the benchs.

For Info : I use Stock ROM whith TWRP (I think it's Odexed). Everything else is just standard :

- Color correction : Native

- Prism should be enabled by default since I don't seen how to disable in the params.

- Enable GPU acceleration in the Developper menu.

- IO : FIOPS

- Governor : USERSPACE

As a side note, try to put your device in deep sleep prior a test. Shaky's OC Kernel has a modded throtling system and the benchs results are better if the device is cold (this is true with every device I own).
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] GodOfPsychos:
i know that antutu scores are not speaking for the every day usage but i love the "theoretical" overall performance you can read out from that score.

btw you mentioned you removed unnecessary apps and services. i already debloated mine a bit (just left the apps which i am not sure if they are safe or unsafe to delete). and for the rest of the apps (like facebook, whatsapp etc) i am using greenify (since this is alot better than nsaver in my opinion because it has more options) to hibernate them.

could you mention which apps and services you deleted/deactivated and if they are safe or unsafe to delete/deactivate like those bunch of tegra services that are running in backround while not really needed? for example, do i really need the SHIELD audio service running the whole time?

btw i got my tegra note 7 two days ago. i am just curious how much we can modify and tweak it to its full potencial
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] chp2:
I can't realy list all the services and apps I disabled because it depend on your personal taste.. And there are a lot to disable.... (all these non usefull Google apps first and non latin keyboard inputs). Do a little search.on each service/app can help.

For Nvidia apps, exept Tegra Zone, all the others are enabled
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] GodOfPsychos:
Ok. Well tegrazone is a nice app especially for me because it lists graphic intense or optimized games. I left just a few google apps like google + (for beta registration communitys), maps, play games and the google keyboard( updated to latest version with material design).

Btw do you have a screenshot of your antutue score with all the details (which process got how much points like "cpu integer" or "cpu float" etc)

Oh besides that, do you also have a problem with the lates youtube app? The "famous" server connection error on every video you want to watch? If yes, is there already a fix for that?
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] chp2:
Concerning all these apps you like, at least, set them as "manual start". Don't let them start automaticaly!

- First, because they use lot of memory and cpu for nothing. (Antutu bench gives beter results with more availaible RAM)

- Second, because most of them are always trying to communicate with external servers. (creating more cpu interrupts)

- Third, some of them don't let your device to go to deep sleep and thus consume battery.

- Fourth, because of personnal privacy.

Just Install "LBE Security Master" (and the xposed translation pack) just to see how much they consume.... how many "autostarts" without real reason.... how many are accessing your personnal data and communicating that data.

Then adjust on your likes.

Concerning Antutu, I uninstalled it some time ago and now, I don't think it will be relevant since all my personnal apps are installed.
