[Galaxy S3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpaceDye:
It's because of the CPU governor (Ondemand). The CPU underclocks to like 300mhz when idle, and that causes the lag. You'll notice that there's no lag when you pull down the bar after you've used the phone a bit.
[Galaxy S3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koroveshi:
Yeah that works. Also by doing some fast pulling downs one after the other it normalisez a bit, but still after some time it starts again to lag.
[Galaxy S3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koroveshi:
On mine the lag stops if I pull it down some times very fast or after a reboot, but it still starts later. Do you have any idea what we can do ?
[Galaxy S3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koroveshi:
You can try to pull it down fast several times without stoping and it becomes smooth again but not for much.
[Galaxy S3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] w17o5k3:
I think that is not the case, I had such issue on my last phone, Alcatel Idol X. Notification bar would lag all the time unless I start some other app, facebook or some news app for example. While those apps were running (actively, not in background) it was smooth. But it doesn't help my S3Neo. Thank you anyway for your opinion!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sofakng:
I have a new T-Mobile Note 4 (that I'm using on AT&T) and the phone is quite fast, but I enjoy tweaking and am planning to root the phone for Xposed and a few other things, so I was also thinking about flashing a new ROM.

I also use GearVR so I need a compatible (TouchWiz?) ROM and was thinking about FireKat.

Does it really make that big of a difference?

I'm more concerned about performance than battery life, but of course battery life is important too.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Face_Plant:
Yes, it makes a huge difference.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KingVeto:
To go into a bit more detail for ya, yes they do help. Most of the custom roms have been de-bloated and tweaked for "power users" for lack of a better term. They have been adjusted to allow better usability and eliminate some of the useless features. Some devs (not all, be sure to do your research and read the boards) but extra effort into making their roms perform better and allow customization. Be warned though, from my experience, with more customizations and tweaks to appearance you will take a hit to performance.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sofakng:
Thanks very much for the help.

It seems like a lot of ROMs are tweaked for battery life and I often wonder if the performance isn't that good as a result.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Face_Plant:
FireKat is tweaked for both performance and battery life. My phone is 10 times faster than stock with FireKat V9 and the good battery life is a nice side effect. Make sure your follow the instructions in the first and second posts for maximum performance/battery life.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lamuertex:
Maybe everyone can submit performance benchmarks here.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Niwrad:
how about this, I used Nova Launcher when im not rooted but when I am rooted (like now running firekat) im on TW all the way.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chadderbox:
Don't go by benchmarks, go by feel. Like someone said above read through the different Dev posts and in most, people have done what your talking about and posted numbers. To the original poster, FireKat is awesome. Mega does an incredible job and its definitely worth trying his efforts if you don't mind flashing. The speed difference as well as battery performance is nothing short of incredible on this device. I've tried many different ROMs and always come back to this one.

Of course your experience may vary, but that's what's so awesome is the ability to try a different ROM. Like you, I have a TMobile Note 4 on AT&T. Fortunately for us there are many talented devs for this phone which gives us many options. Give them a try and see for yourself, and trust me, you won't be disappointed.

Just do yourself a favor and don't go by benchmark numbers, and go by what you feel is the fastest and smoothest. Numbers are artificial and change so often that it's much better in my opinion to feel for yourself.

Good luck and enjoy the device man, it's awesome.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ceo.mtcl:
I am a power user. I have a gear vr. None of the custom ROMs support vr. I have a backup nandroid of stock ROM, whenever I want to use vr, I nandrood back to it. Daily driver is cm12.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lamuertex:
This is my benchmark score anyway.

http://imgur.com/aMxJEac

Touch above 50k using the latest cm12 build.

This is the smoothest running ROM I've used.

Most stable is firekat for sure.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sofakng:
Ugh. Gear VR doesn't work on FireKat?

I've been reading the thread and it says that it would work with a custom kernel. Has anybody tried that?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onesteppcloser:
yes, it's my favorite ROM so far.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michwolverines00:
I checked ur screen shot, how are you getting lte? is there a fix on cm12?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lamuertex:
I haven't had connectivity issues like some may be experiencing.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
If you want to speed up the appearance of your phone...make it snappier....go into Developer settings and reduce all animations to 0.5 or turn them off completely. It makes a big difference.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RiverCity.45:
Firekat + AEL kernal = ROM bliss with VR function.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btort1:
Really ten times? Not even close to twice as fast, maybe half as fast. While Firekat and Dynamic Rom are faster than stock touchwiz......Slim roms or Cyanogenmod are the only thing that REALLY speed up the phone. Touchwiz will always be touchwiz
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 10-K:
It's more of a speed upgrade than that. Mega has been tweaking the speed for 9 versions. He's got skills.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sofakng:
Do any of the ROMs speed up gaming at all?

For example, I also have an iPhone 6 Plus and several games are silky smooth on it (Galaxy On Fire 2 HD, Terraria, Shadowgun), but on the Note 4 the performance is much lower. It's not horrible, but it's nowhere near as smooth as iOS. (note: this isn't meant to disrespect Android or the Note 4, but I'm honestly wondering about the difference because I have both phones and compare them side-by-side)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android_Monsters:
I think what you may really be looking for is a custom kernel. A lot of them are in original android development. I can link you to others.

I'm testing hyperdrive rom today on this phone, however and just downloaded those games. Very zippy.

We'll pretend you didn't just admit you have an iPhone.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Face_Plant:
I was just sharing my experience. If CM, Liquid, Slim, etc work well for you then more power to ya. Shockingly, I am not a fan of stock Android [emoji33] It's bland, featureless, and now with Lollipop it's just down right ugly. Yes, I have tried several of the AOSP ROMs in our development section and always came back to TouchJizz in less than 24 hours.

Running AOSP on the Note 4 is a waste in my opinion. I buy Note series devices for their gimmicky "pointless" features, not to run stock Android. If I wanted a big ass phone that ran AOSP I would have bought a Nexus 6.

I don't understand why TouchJizz is continuing to get a bad wrap. It's really not that bad anymore. It was pretty meh on my Note 3, but on the Note 4 it's alright.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btort1:
I did some like an AOSP fanboy huh?

I did try slim and CM for a few hours and came back to my Dynamic Kat because I missed some of the features from Touchwiz.

While TW is still a "little bit" laggy on the Note 4, it's not THAT bad. But TW on an S4, I can't stand it. I had to flash AOSP rom immediately :p

I hope samsung tones down TW with the S6 coming out in a few months, because it's not THAT bad on the Note 4
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] silverwolf0:
I know some older phones won't function without a qualified SIM placed into the phone. Do I need a SIM card to unlock the 8125? I only have a T-mobile SIM and no Cingular SIM.

As per the title, I'd like to know the install size of Win10 tech preview 2, and if it is any different when installing on a smallish (32GB) space than versus a larger HDD.

How many partitions does Win10 create, and what are their sizes?

Basically, I'm trying to ascertain if Win 10 is any more space optimized over Win 8.1. Thanks.
[Windows 10, 8, 7, XP etc.] ktetreault14:
2 partitions not sure of the size. Have it installed now.
[General Accessories] bryank930:
I'm in need of a 10 foot micro usb cable that's capable of charging devices at 2A. I tried the Anker cable from Amazon (2 of em actually), but it tops out at ~1A per my inline meter.

Anyone know where I can find something like this?
[General Accessories] geronphillips:
I'm also searching for such a cable, the only one I have ever used that actually charges at 2a is about 20cm so not particularly useful. I have complained to anker about their charging speed and there is a chance they will send me their "upgraded version". I'll try and let you know if it's any good.

I am with a N7000 as well (bought at launch, and still in perfect condition!) but was thinking of upgrading to the Note4 because the Note1 is getting too slow even with custom roms.

As soon as the Note4 drops under 500€ I'll get one! :D

I have the note 1 and I would like to buy the note 4 but I'd like to know if the 720p videos look pixelated in the note 4 because most of my music videos are in 720p and they look superb in the note 1, but the 480p videos look pixelated, i believe that because of the high resolution of the galaxy note 4 ( 1440 x 2560 pixels "2K") my 720p videos will look pixelated :(.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Strategist:
I upgraded from the Note 1 to Note 4 a few months back and yes it was quite stunning right from the beginning with that unlock animation which shows off the amazing screen. I knew I had made the right choice when I took my first photo outdoors and compared it with the Note 1; of course the latter was no match either in terms of the photo itself or the screen to watch it on. The Note 1 was amazing back in the day and we should be glad how much progress was made in just three years. I rather suspect that this will slow down and and I doubt the gap between the Note 7 and Note 4 will be nearly as large.

Hi everyone. I've just gotten the lollipop ota update on my Rogers One m8. I've been wondering, how good is the battery life for the m8 on 5.0.1? Is it worse than 4.4.4 or better? This will determine whether I update or not. Thanks!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikeny:
Just upgraded to Lollipop yesterday, and I haven't used it long enough to tell. However, my M8 also has the issue of GPS turning on EVERY freaking time it unlocks. Extremely annoying and can't be good for the battery life.

Battery life on lollipop.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
There already a thread in the M8 General section, where battery life is discussed ad nauseum, with screenshots galore. I think that thread has all you want, and more.

Battery life is really subjective. It depends a lot on your specific usage patterns, and local cell reception. You mileage can (and will) vary from that reported by other users. So IMO discussion of battery life is fairly pointless.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unifex_:
I agree that battery life is subjective. However, it might be useful to relate that subjective perception. In my case, right after the update, I felt that the battery life was much worse and the device in general became laggy. Since then I did two factory resets and now the battery life is OK, although I still did not reinstall Facebook, which many people claim is a big battery eater on Lollipop. The responsiveness of the device has also improved after the second reset. Somehow during the second reset the nu player got selected and after I disabled it in the developers options the device is running well. Strange that happened like this.

But even with these recent improvements, I still don't see the point in the update. if I could go back in time with what I know now, I would not update. Kit Kat worked well and Lollipop did not bring any significant improvements.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
And I've been running Lollipop

with

Facebook, and battery life is great, and very similar to KitKat. No lag like others report, and while the update is not much of a change, there are some new features, and certainly nothing is "worse".

A very different (even conflicting) experience, and there you start to see where discussions on battery life aren't very useful.

There is already a massive discussion in General HERE

It makes absolute sense to continue there..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] valkata1212:
Hello guys, Im a experienced user with ROMs, recovery, boot and etc but i have a problem now, and i will try to explain shortly:

AT THE MOMENT:

- I get into fastboot mode

- I get into odin downloading mode

- I have a connection with pc(win8.1)

- The computer can communicate with the phone in fastboot mode and adb(recovery)

- the drivers are installed correctly

- BOOTLOOPIN ON GOOGLE

How this happened:

I was minding my own business and my phone was on my desk when it suddenly rebooted itself and then it bootlooped forever. I had some situations when it rebooted itself but always ended in a successful boot, this time it didnt wanted to start.

What have i done till now:

- First thing i entered recovery(TWRP) and dirtyflashed my current rom version and wiped dalvik/cache. (unsuccessful)

- after several times doing the dirtyflash i finally decided to make a complete hard/factory reset the result was none (after i rebooted to recovery again ALL THE DATA WAS THERE WITHOUT ANY DIFFERENCE, like nothing happened)

- Second thing i tried flashing with Odin3 in Download mode - result was unsuccessful (Operation failed at ~45% and the phone freezed) - I tried this several times with different versions of the software and firmware on 2 different computers (same result)

- Third thing i tried to push img with ADB - no result

- Fourth thing i tried the NexusToolKit and using the UNROOT/GOBACK TO STOCK/SOFTBRICK option - operation was SUCCESSFUL (that's what the cmd console said) BUT, after around 15 mins booting on GOOGLE it started booting my old custom ROM that i had (CarbonROM) with its custom boot animation and i was WTF?! - after several minutes it finally booted the rom. As i tried to unlocked it the touchscreen and processing was very slow and unresponsive, it took around 10-15sec. to unlock the phone and then opening the home menu, and in a short delay the phone restarted itself.

- I tried deleting system,data,userdata,cache and etc with the toolkit but same resault - when i rebooted the information was still there.

- I readed alot on the forums and i found that it maybe caused my my eMMC but long ago i checked with a google store app that my chip is from the safe ones and cant go brickbug.

Some information about the phone:

Product Name - tuna

Variant - maguro 16gb

HW version - 9

Bootloader Version - primemd04

baseband version - I9250XXLJ1

carrier info - none

serial number - 0149C7ED0D020018

signing - production

lock state- unlocked

if anything needed pls ask
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lanchon:
first question is, what do you mean by download mode and odin? are you not using the google galaxy nexus? for all i know, that device has fastboot but not download mode, which is a proprietary fork of fastboot (i think). am i wrong? how do you boot into download mode?

your emmc might be locked in read-only mode. when the emmc firmware data structures get corrupted beyond the firmware capacity to fix them, the firmware downgrades to read-only mode, in which you can at least recover the stored information (or part of it).

grab a different custom recovery version than the one in your phone and "fastboot flash" it. then get into the recovery. do you get the newly flashed recovery or the old one that was already on your phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] valkata1212:
Im using the Samsung galaxy nexus and under "download mode odin" i mean VOLUME DOWN + power button. Phone got both odin and fastboot. Fastboot works in bootloader mode ( volume up + volume down + power button).

I already tried with another custom recovery different from the one currently using, yes it flashes the new one - i tried with philz and cw recovery, both booted but again i couldnt wipe everything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ashclepdia:
the galaxy nexus certainly has download mode/Odin.

it is a Samsung device, they all have this.

just like even the HTC nexus device have hboot ;)

to the op, I wish you much luck, I cannot comment much on this, I had similar happen once and I used "fastboot boot recovery.img" and luckily was able to fix my device from there, but I see this happen sometimes to others (few threads on here about it) where they weren't able to get her back up and running I hope that is not the case for you.

---------- Post added at 12:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:08 AM ----------

oh, also, do you have multiple batteries? have you tried another battery? seems simple enough, but I've heard of devices acting awry similar to this when the battery has taken a crap. (sometime the battery will act as if it's charging and holding charge just fine, but it never actually gets itself to fully charged, for example I think fully charged battery should read about 4.12 with a voltmeter, but one that's gone faulty doesn't reach that, is as if it just cannot provide enough juice needed to get things done causing the device to fail while trying to use that battery)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] valkata1212:
I have one and only stock battery. TWRP has a battery counter and it seems ok it stays always on 100% when plugged in the usb. I will try to check it with a voltmeter but i doubt that the problem is from the battery.

Waiting Lanchon to asnwer :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lanchon:
ok! i had 2 galaxy nexus and never realized they had download mode lol, or at least i dont remember knowing!

so to confirm: you flash any recovery and it sticks and works. you flash it using "fastboot flash recovery x.img". you ARE NOT booting it directly with "fastboot boot x.img". confirm?

this means that your emmc is not fully locked down, and is good news.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] valkata1212:
BAD NEWS: NOPE, i do not confirm, i only did fastboot boot x.img!! Now i tried fastboot flash recovery x.img, restarted bootloader, and entered to recovery and - bang - old recovery is there. It's seems that my phone is a goner right?? :(
