[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cj chitwood:
Forgive my not reading the entire thread as it's late and time is an unusually precious commodity lately...

My screen does develop an extremely mild hint of a color shift at slight angles, but I don't notice it unless I look for it. However, at extreme angles (at which I never view the screen, like greater than 75 degrees away from dead-on perpendicular to the screen surface) I do see not only greenish/bluish (almost like a faded teal) but also a magentaish hue. I suspect in my case it's a result of the manufacturing and tempering processes of the glass. LCD panels exhibit something similar when viewed through polarized sunglass lenses, but this is not the same: LCD panels have a nearly random-blob appearance where on this Note 4 it appears in bands running along the vertical (when viewed in portrait orientation) axis of the screen. At worst, I can make it greenish on the left side and magentaish on the right by viewing at around 70-80 degrees off perpendicular, so admittedly I have to hold the phone in such an extreme position to see this that I don't consider it a defect per se.

HIH.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiguy99:
Just got my note 4 and am having the same blue tint when I view off angle.

Glad I'm not alone.

Thought it was a defect and would have to send the phone back
[General Questions and Answers] JJ_4884:
HI,

I am a fan of this site for many reasons. Mainly, I like modifying my Samsung Galaxy S2 T989 with APK fonts in order to compensate for the abandoning of updates on this device. Since Lollipop was officially announced, has anyone made a set of APK's for the new Lollipop Roboto? Would like them to be scaled for smaller devices. Otherwise, what should I do to convert the TTF files to APK files?
[General Questions and Answers] firedoge:
There's an app

ifont

that can convert .ttf fonts to .apk files. Give it a try :cool:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] OsSkates1996:
Okay so I'm not one to complain but I just got the note 4 about 5 hours ago and damn does this thing stutter, Like opening apps scrolling through the home screens and stuff is fine but no apps and I mean none run smooth, they all have the micro scrolling stutter and even after switching to art they still do it. And I'm coming from a nexus 4 so this phone shouldn't feel like a high end phone yet perform like a a low end phone I have not rooted but I am deciding to just Duke it out and wait for roms I already received the update that's supposed to help the lag and no difference I mean I kind of new what I was getting my self into when I got it considering it is a Samsung phone but still. Hoping for hyper drive or at least a debloated stock rom soon
[Galaxy Note 4 General] clax6:
I have no lag at all. Have you tried rebooting it and maybe a factory reset?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tmac31:
Even in power saving its pretty smooth i m an old nexus 4-5 user too i wouldnt expect this smoothness from a touchwiz phone
[Galaxy Note 4 General] OsSkates1996:
Yes the first thing I did was factory reset then I disabled a bunch of Samsung and Google Apps I didn't use and yea I'm giving it a week if nothing improves I'm swapping it out for another one
[Galaxy Note 4 General] acsbg:
Is this snapdragon or exynos ? No lag here aswell (910c)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ShadowFlare:
If you're planning to root, don't just yet. It could be a hardware fault somewhere, because as you said, it still stutters after a factory reset. Once you root, you lose all warranty, even if it turns out to be harware fault.

If you can try visit a store with Note 4 demo units, compare them to yours.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Zanr Zij:
I already tried some days a couple of Note 4. 1 abit lag, stutter lag, but another much smoother. Pls return it and get another one
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Magnesus:
Run some benchmarks before you return it - if it's hardware reason it should result in lower benchamrk results.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Delakit:
I was messing around with my brother's Note 4 (Snapdragon) and noticed lag as well. Which is funny because I was exploring my friend's S5 and there was absolutely 100% no lag. My brother had a live wallpaper and a bunch of apps running in the background, so I assume that could be the reason. However, there shouldn't be any lag what-so-ever at this point. WTF is going on?

Maybe I'll wait for the Note 5. Lol.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] honhan0904:
I use exynos version and get no lag at all

My ram free never over 400mb but it still very smooth

Maybe you should try factory reset and make sure dont change your device to art ;)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] lgass:
where did you order it from? I'm looking for that version...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] acsbg:
Its the version sold here in Bulgaria, im not aware of any online shops that will ship it internationally though...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ipsuvedi:
I dont thing this is true story.....if its true then you have faulty note 4
[Galaxy Note 4 General] lgass:
ok! thanks!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] OsSkates1996:
I have the t mobile snapdragon version and yea i will be testing it extensively for a week before I do anything because I mean even some of the display models at best buy were being smoother than mine haha but don't get me wrong guys I love this phone it is amazing I just can't take the stuttering and about the s5 yes that's weird my dad has the s5 and I was comparing it to my note and noticed no lag at all compared to my note :/
[Galaxy Note 4 General] OsSkates1996:
Or could it just be that the display is so clear that even the littlest things are noticeable? Lol
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tinker_tf:
Mine is really laggy (snapdragon UK version) it takes 2-3 seconds to load up the open apps menu, 2-3 seconds to then open an app such as facebook, google, menu, gallery etc, I don't play many games but one I use quite often which the phone should smash through is Words with friends, it takes awhile to load and you can literally see it lagging as you move the tiles from one section to another.

You can see it lagging as you scroll through facebook and twitter also.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] POLO_i780:
Got a SA Vodacom Snapdragon one and no lag.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] theoner1:
Not really lag, but more like device throttling. Check out this thread.

http://xdaforums.com/note-4-sprint/help/camera-video-lagging-t2913392
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Andrewtst:
Mine is N910C (Exynos Edition).

No lag as you mention.

I even test with my friend iPhone 6 Plus, 99% apps opening in Note 4 is ahead faster than iPhone 6 Plus.

The only slight delay is Recent Apps and also sometimes they is a little slight jittering animation.

Overall this Note 4 is pretty smooth. I rate it second smoother animation android after HTC One M8 but for speed, it is the most speedy android phone ever for the moment.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] darekz:
It has to load pages as you scroll and that may cause lag.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] barondebxl:
This just made my nexus 6 decision much easier, thanks!

[Galaxy Note 4 General] rushless:
Seems very smooth with my Verizon N4

Cool story
[Galaxy Note 4 General] mobilephil:
Sorry but I dont believe you !
[Galaxy Note 4 General] mih3y:
SD user here. I don't believe any of this. I removed TW , as i just don't like it , but it was not that bad! And with Nova launcher everything is flyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyying ! i call BS on this :silly:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] OsSkates1996:
For those saying I'm bull****ting I wouldn't have taken the time to make this thread haha even the guys at t mobile told me my phone shouldn't be as bad as it is gaming doing anything on this phone is stuttery as hell nothing runs smooth theirs definitely something wrong if even something like candy crush lags on this phone I'm not paying 750 for a phone that can't even handle the simplest of task I already have a replacement note coming on the way and if that doesn't work out I already have a trade agreement worked out
[Galaxy Note 4 General] MadfishGTB:
I've noticed my UK snapdragon version is laggy, especially Facebook and non stock browsers...

Benchmark was impressive at 46640 and games play without issue so it seems more of a software issue with the browser and Facebook. ..
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tmac31:
Yes im using exynos for a week now and my friend just got snapdragon version and its laggy. Even power saving mod in exynos is smoother i dont know why but i dont think its about power difference probably snapdragon version needs an update.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] MadfishGTB:
I certainly hope so as up to now I'm starting to wish I stayed with my trusty note 2 (exynos)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Batfink33:
Can't figure out what the guys saying it's laggy are talking about. My SD805 UK version is totally smooth. No lag or stutter. It's got a virtually identical performance to my Z2 . It's not quite M8 smooth but it's on par with the other flagships around today (and way better than the G3 which is a performance mess).
[Galaxy Note 4 General] more2come:
It's not exactly laggy or slow, but it's not as amazingly responsive as the One M8 or the Xperia Z3. There are very few hiccups (Snapdragon here) and delays (opening recent apps drawer gives you a short delay of a sec), but it is still very satisfying to use, especially when you keep in mind what the device is capable of doing. With all the bells and whistles the Note 4 brings along, it almost replaced my laptop as a media consumption device. The S-Pen is a blessing, I use it almost every time I turn on the display. Speaking of display: It's mindblowing. I'm at loss for words here.

In the end, it is the fastest and smoothest TouchWiz Device you might have ever used.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Andrewtst:
Candy Crush also lag ? Your bull****ting is over limit already. I don't own snapdragon edition but I believe it won't be that bad also.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] alex989898:
I have tried a GN4 on the shop and it was f***ing laggy but my girlfriend buy one and I must admit it's 100% fluid. So far I have not seen any lag or delay, except on magazine. Far better than my GS4 GPe.

I think I will make an order.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] MSH2000FF:
This is true, as well as
[Galaxy Note 4 General] aamirleo55:
Im using N910G, its a snapdragon version. No lags at all. Utterly smooth.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jpbl1976:
Using the Exynos version (910U). Not seeing any lag here. It's about as smooth as my M8 - the Sense framework is probably better optimised than Touchwiz (no surprise there). If you use a launcher replacement like Nova, it's smooth as can be - no discernable difference compared with the M8.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Shamms:
Even In my case, I got Auntut Benchmarks +45k odd but cancy crush lags, Swype KB opening takes ages when done after a gap, but once it opens, it remains fast for the time it is being used, I can easily feel the lag, I am cmng from N3 and feel N3 was a little more faster. though N3 was rooted and Note 4 is not yet.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Lembo:
My UK model lags with a few apps including Candy Crush. It's more like every 2 minutes it has to 'think' and freezes for a second and carrys on. Typing this it stopped and caught up with me on the keyboard.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] bipoler:
Just wait for your network to send out an update
[Galaxy Note 4 General] necrocavus:
I have 910u. I had terrible lag only one time. After reboot, it's gone.

Lag was on everything including games, ui
[Galaxy Note 4 General] honhan0904:
In 910L there is no lag

Maybe if you have rooted you shouldnt install xposed because it cause lagg forbiur device

If you not root then refresh your device and stop some unused app in ram
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Willisme1:
This is the way I would describe what I'm experiencing on my SD805 N910F. The delay on the recent apps button is driving me insane, but other than that most of the perfomance issues were fixed by the recent update.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] willstay:
Exynos here. No lag. Coming from note 3, I feel it twice as fast. But limited experience with other top android phones.

Note 4
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Creomortis:
I have the 805 F variant. The only time I saw lag was when I was using the live desktop wallpaper called shadow galaxy. The menus would stutter a bit. Using a still background it is silky smooth.

I'm using nova launcher.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] dookie foo:
TW on Exynos here, no lag

try this

go to developer options and disable all animation scale
[Galaxy Note 4 General] M3gabyte:
I think its the xposed framework. snappy dragon 910F CWM Rec. had no lag before then installed... then massive lag. about uninstalled all my apps then i thought to try xposed and the lag has gone installed it again to make sure and lag returned :( no xposed for now... this is on the stock factory rom mine is just rooted. im thinking of trying a custom rom to see if its something to do with the stock rom or try a different kernel when there out.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] joelteixeira:
Didn't had the chance to play with it but, after uncountable reviews and video reviews this phone is a beast. No matter SD or Exynos, if your phone is laggy just change for another unit cause it's obviously a faulty device.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] pgamble:
I got my UK Note 4 yesterday ... and can absolutely say after loading a load of thing to it and setting up my home screens, there is no appreciable lag.

I hit he App button and can't the menu is instant. I hit facebook icon ... and it is fully displayed in 1/4 sec.

I'm sure it will get sluggish with time like all devices do ... but right now ... you shouldn't be getting lag at all unless there is a problem elsewhere.

Paul.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] willcor:
hi ,

Something to consider ??

i also have same setup as you snap 910F ,Cwm .....etc

i found that Xposed framework /S health combo was the reason for my lag .

I followed angelky post # 22 and killkyo post #25 ( his post in his list no 4, about install Wanam and enable "Enable Skip SecureStorage Check within the module")

http://xdaforums.com/note-4/help/xposed-t2904937/page3

I am using Xposed /S health and Private mode all working smoothly and no lag at all

You can also read bnbasarir explanation his post #14 link

http://xdaforums.com/note-4/help/xposed-note-4-t2912853/page2

i quote from his post #14..................................................................

"It is actually an S-Health issue. Running exposed without modifying the secure storage will cause S-Health's Services hang while checking sensors. That's the reason of the hangs and lags. It has been discussed previously in S5 thread as well as here in General Section.

People solved the issue by either modifying build.prop or using a module called XSecureStorage or something like that. "

good luck
[Galaxy Note 4 General] dh2225:
Believe me he's not bull***ting anyone. I have At&t Galaxy note 4 and I have same issue. Candy crush and farm heroes saga works for a minute with no lag and then stutters like crazy like going from 60fps to 10fps. Then I press the home button and apex launcher is stuttering like crazy too. Next I go into fruit ninja and it completely freezes and at 1fps at most, and the whole phone is almost frozen. I have to press power button and unlock device again and it all goes away. Feels like some kind of throttling bug. I'm thinking of exchanging the device.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Shamms:
Did you restore data from previous mobile, try doing a factory reset once.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] dh2225:
Yes, I restored app data with helium. Also I had touchwiz home forceclose a couple of times. I will try a factory reset. Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Andrewtst:
Don't restore stock apps data forever and ever. Doing so will destroy the new phone stability as you indirectly force replace not compatible oldest files inside.

I use Exynos edition Note 4 since 17/10 until today 27/10 and i never get single lag issue or hang/auto restart issue.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] dh2225:
I think I have a faulty device. Did a factory reset. Installed candy crush without any data backup and it works for a little and then stutters like crazy and only locking and unlocking phone fixes it. I think I will go replace my note 4 tomorrow.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Shamms:
Do a last little check, this is what i figured out, I might be wrong but I have observed that when I am connected to wi-fi and playing CC, it is normal, but on Data connection (3G), it slows down drastically, I have not deactivated background usage on CC.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tinker_tf:
Well I can't take the lag anymore so I contacted samsung UK who are sending out a replacement phone so I'll see how that goes.

Me and a friend are quite competitive so we did a few tests side by side as he is a massive ios user and has the iPhone 6. Mine booted up quicker. But he was able to load nearly every app quicker then me including Facebook and Google earth (the irony) his battery also lasted longer then my note 4 too when we was out all day. Plus he was able to fast switch apps quicker then my note, as it takes 4 seconds to load up the recent apps screen and 3-4 seconds to load that recent app up.

On the plus side he loved using the s pen and making notes, drawings etc.

Kinda disappointed overall really.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tmac31:
Im using note 4 exynos and 6 plus together note is pretty much faster in every app loading. And there is no lag at all maybe a problem with your device.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Andrewtst:
I am using Exynos edition. I had try side by side testing with iPhone 6 plus as well. 99% Note 4 open apps faster than iPhone 6 plus.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tmac31:
True like i said at the upper comment. Iphone is generaly faster on phone apps like camera dialer but pretty much every other 3rd party apps my exynos note 4 is faster than my 6 plus like alot of speed test videos comfirm it.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tinker_tf:
Mines the snapdragon CPU, but regardless that shouldn't make a difference though should it?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] dkhuc:
Mine is 910F (Snapdragon) and I can observe slight lag here and there. Antutu benchmark returns 43K, while I saw many reported 45K or higher. I don't know if there's any problem with my unit.

Also, Anomaly 2 benchmark returns 350K, which is much lower than that of note 3 or other flagships (~1M). I don't know if higher screen resolution is to blame in this case. :(
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tmac31:
Cpu usage can make a difference. Not the full power of cpu. Exynos version is working on full frequency with a53 cores pretty much all the time and when its loading something it goes 8 cores.it could make difference i have s800 note 3 too snapdragon it mostly use 1-2 cores and hotplugging always it always made mini stutters. But im talking about stutters it shouldnt make big lag or delays.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] michsu:
yeah, I have a snapdragon AT&T and it's logging in at 45,3k for Antutu.. I am downloading the Anomaly 2 benchmark (never heard of it until you posted here), and will tell you the result.. maybe you need to close all the apps before running the benchmark?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] dkhuc:
I didnt' know about that benchmark before looking for the game on google play, I think it measures how smooth a device run the game. Yes I did close all apps.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] michsu:
just got a score to your Anomaly 2... 380,442... is that any good?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] michsu:
Antutu score just now...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] michsu:
rerunning the Anomaly 2 score.. I had screen timeout at 15 seconds.. so it kept on turning off during the run.. I'll post another score soon..
[Galaxy Note 4 General] dkhuc:
I used clean master as suggested by antutu and benchmark score jumps to 46K. I guess my device is ok.

For that anomaly 2 benchmark i think note 3 gets around 950K.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] mawst95:
Small lag on recents menu could be because it's a multiuse button perhaps?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tmac31:
Its most like recent apps interface kicked out of memory probably because when i start using it alot its almost instant it happens when you dont use it long time then press it for the 1st time.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] fredphoesh:
Exactly the same story with me... have snapdragon, got the NJ4 update, made no difference.

Scrolling is lousy on most apps... Pressing the recent apps button, I have to wait about 3 seconds before the recent apps come up, and then when I select one, it takes about 2 seconds before it responds to my selection. NOT SNAPPY!

I have tried ART now back to Dalvik.

My old Nexus5 is way faster and smoother to operate. I am going to speak to my provider tomorrow and see if they can send me another.

Mark
[Galaxy Note 4 General] OsSkates1996:
They will as long as you tell them it's faulty hardware and I was going to get another one but my friends have the iPhone 6 plus and it's amazing how Damm smooth that thing is considering it's hardware so today I will be trading in my note for a 6 plus
[Galaxy Note 4 General] fredphoesh:
well, i would never do that!

there is a lot more to a phone than whether it lags or not, and there is SOOO much ANY android phone can do that Apple phones cannot, I would never consider an iphone again... but if a smooth interface is so important to you, then iphone is the best phone for you... for sure... or a nexus. The nexus 6 should be incredible WRT speed and smoothness.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tinker_tf:
I just ran the Anomaly 2 benchmark and I had a total score of 258, 002 a lot lower then you guys are having.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] marvi0:
Those guys facing lag, have you tried the new roms available like echo? Any difference after?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] eddhard:
Point being that they shouldn't lag out of the box. I'm on UK snap dragon and I must have got lucky. It'd fast, smooth. Goof screen and trouble free. I think it's likely there are a large number of sub standard builds out there and it's worth sending them back and swapping them. In Europe none of us has had the handset not to be covered by consumer right's legislation. The seller has to replace or refund if it is faulty or not performing as advertised.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] OsSkates1996:
I got the 6 and I'm blown away by the performance and battery life also I am not down with android nexus 6 for sure [emoji16]
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Andrewtst:
It is good to you. :)

iPhone 6 Plus animation is crazy extremely smooth without single jittering issue. I had test it.

But open any apps in my Exynos Note 4 ahead of it. I am keeping my Note 4. :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] OsSkates1996:
I don't see why people make big deal sometimes about the app opening speeds like that's cool it opens maybe a second later but I care more about how the apps run instead but nice happy you don't have a laggy note 4 [emoji2]
[Galaxy Note 4 General] mariojp:
Turn on "Force GPU rendering" under developer settings. It smooths out the slight scroll lag.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] fredphoesh:
Forgot to mention I've done that too... Not much difference...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] dkhuc:
So what are you trying to accomplish here? It's known that android occasionally lags in some apps due to garbage collection, but it is not that laaaagggyy as iPhone fans try to imply. It is hoped to be solved by using ART. Yet, android users accept that in exchange for other perks. I am annoyed when using Apple products for productivity tasks because some simple stuffs seem almost impossible to achieve. For entertainment i.e. having a list of news apps, games, videos,... run one of them and have fun within the apps, then yeah, I'd prefer either 6+ or iPad.

If you're conviced to go for iPhone 6+ or Nexus, go for it. But please don't try to drag other people with you to justify you own choice.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Willisme1:
I think it's more of a question of, if my Nexus 5 doesn't lag in that situation then neither should my Note 4. Yes, TouchWiz has been and is still quite a resource hog and I knew that before buying the phone, but you can't help but expect upgrades to be faster in every way.
