[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] nukularpowar:
Hello, I have been playing with my new S7 edge a couple hours now and am liking it in some ways and wondering why the heck I paid 2.5x as much as I did for my 1+1 in many others. This maybe be a small thing, but I'm on the fence about returning the thing and going with a 6P instead, so hopefully some kind soul will help me confirm if my problem is my device or some software thing.

So, it seems that using any of the themes from the Samsung Store that contain an animated lockscreen totally bugger the S7. Here are steps to reproduce:

1) Go to the baked-in Samsung store, it's a Galaxy Essentials widget 2 screens over on mine

2) Choose Theme Store at the bottom, then AoD themes. Pick one with an animated lockscreen (Night Sky AOD and PixelQuest_AOD are two)

3) Download one and apply it. Lock phone and attempt to enter a pin.

At this point, my phone becomes almost unusably laggy - the only way I can get in is with the fingerprint sensor, and that even lags. Again, while this may not be a huge deal, it blows my mind that this $800 phone can't handle these 10 frame animations, especially since I was able to do similar on the 1+1 quite easily.

Thanks for any words of advice or confirmation on if this is a wider issue than just my phone. note the issue is gone after reverting to the stock theme, which wouldnt be a problem if I didnt hate the brightness - even the settings menus are much more readable to me with one of the themes I mentioned, other stuff aside.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] squallz506:
I have shineblack AOD, it lagged exactly as you described. Then I turned off aod and it no longer lags. Well it still lags in Chrome but that's another story.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] nukularpowar:
Hmm, so the lag goes away without AoD? Great, thank you - must just be a software bug they will (hopefully) correct soon then.

Edit: tried switching off AoD in display, still the same lag.. guess you meant switching off the theme :(
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Cyberguycpt:
Don't know what I am doing wrong or right lol but my phone didn't lag at all. I tried night sky and pixel quest.

Do you have the Snapdragon or Exynos?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] nukularpowar:
Well.. that's depressing then :( Thanks for the result though. The phone I got is a Snapdragon. It feels like it's struggling in several other ways to me - ie, install bars going to 80% and sticking there forever, phone gets warmer than my 1+1 ever did running emulators etc just sitting on the homescreen, etc. This lagginess seems portentious enough that if others respond like you, I will just return and swap for a 6p. So yeah, thanks again :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Cyberguycpt:
Well I have the Snapdragon too so don't know what's going on. Bit I'm on T-Mobile so don't know if it will differ per carriers. But it does seem like you are someone that like pure vanilla Android and if that's the case yeah you might want to get the Nexus phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] squallz506:
No I still have the theme on. It was lagging when AND was on, but since I turned AOD off pressing the home button, scanning a fingerprint and unlocking the phone happens in 2 seconds with no lag. Maybe it's just the theme you were using, Idk. It's still really early on for this phone, I'd expect a release day update. But if this chrome lag and page refreshing keeps up I'll likely be returning this thing within the 14 day limit. My $400 MXPE performs better.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] nukularpowar:
Ok, thanks guys. I'm on Tmobile as well - just did a factory reset and still have the same prob, so meh. Enough of an omen for me to get out while the getting's good.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] mjs2011:
When I had the S6 Edge Plus I noticed that there were a few themes that caused lag but then they were eventually updated by the creator and the lag went away.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Dr_Nikiforos:
I tried 4-5 different themes and i "feel" lagging with only white theme of tech section in Samsung themes.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] mjs2011:
QQ. Are you all rebooting right after you install new themes? I noticed on the S6 that this step was critical even if not directly recommended.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] nukularpowar:
Did you use the AoD enabled themes? (always on display) - it only seems to be the ones with animated lockscreens that cause the lag, the Dino theme in that category does not, for example

I have rebooted several times, yeah. Also tried clearing cache and even a factory reset, with the same problem (just rushed into the samsung store and got a theme after the reset)

Are there any updates out already or anything I might be missing? Dont get why I'd have this prob and not someone with the same device/carrier like the guy posting here before, unless I just got a skunky phone or something :( Think I'm going to head to the T-Mobile store tomorrow and make them try it on one of the test units..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Xileforce:
My lag came from when a theme applied a live wallpaper to the lock screen. I changed that back to a static paper and all is good again
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Dr_Nikiforos:
[MENTION=7333262]nukularpowar[/MENTION] yes i have aod in every theme i tried. With England and others 2-3 everything was ok and very smouth but with white theme i found a little laggy from aod screen to unlock screen, also the scrolling seems to be slower than the others themes.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] mathieulh:
I've tried an AOD theme, I got no lag here using the Exynos variant

[Huawei Mate S] cn0MMnb:
Hi,

I have a weird issue. I updated from B145 to B303 today, and things were quite okay, but some apps behaved weirdly, so I did a factory reset. However, since then I am unable to see the option "Display Network Speed" in "Notification Panel and Status Bar". The weird thing is, if I use the search in settings I find the result, when I tap on it, I don't see any way to change that value.

Does anyone else have the same problem?

Thank you in advance
[Huawei Mate S] brumgav:
Yes mine behaves the same, appears in list when I search for it but missing from the notifications and status bar settings.

Maybe Huawei removed it by mistake or maybe it's something they will enable in future updates.

I've been trying to follow the Beta testing for the Chinese version of the phone and it seems they are on about the third update...there is talk of the fingerprint sensor functions that were missing being added soon (long press to return to home screen, single press to go back one screen/action)

They even have updates for something called VoLTE which I think is some kind of 4G network they use in China.

Just have to sit tight and wait for some updates although progress does seem slow
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeonKnight12:
I have been eyeing on this tablet for a week. So far the reviews I read, has some problems with light bleed, heat issues and unknown etc etc.

This have prevented me buying it, but I do hear rumors going around the internet about new Nexus 7 will be made by Google/huawei later in coming months.

Should I hold off nexus 9 and see what Google/Huawei will have a something new toy to offer?
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iateshaggy:
i got 2 9's, one for me and one for my wife. mine has the pure nexus rom and my wife is stock. we both enjoy our tablets and haven't had the first problem.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doitright:
"light bleed" is a characteristic of backlight LCD displays. They ALL do it. LCD works by having a light on behind it, and selectively blocking light from getting through, but its not absolutely perfect, so a little bit of light gets through anyway.

AMOLED displays use a separate light for each color of each pixel, so when a pixel is off, there is absolutely no light. BUT, AMOLED suffers from "makes your eyes bleed".

Just characteristics of the different types of displays.

As for the CPU... yeah, its a bit of a toaster. Its not a "problem" really, it can just run hot.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aar On:
Don't buy it expecting a premium device, the screen isn't up to AMOLED standard and the build quality isn't up there with flagships but it is a solid device. I don't see much point in a 7" tablet if you have Nexus 6 or 6P but a Nexus 9 makes good sense. It's a good size, particularly with split screen coming on N. If you can find one on sale go for it.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeonKnight12:
I took a pluge.

I recently purchased this from Amazon on deal and I received flawless tablet no light bleeds, but issues is heating is still present in 2016!. I really love this tablet. I have it rooted twrp and have pure Android ROM on it and I leave it charge for night. Next day this Nexus tablet won't charge, thinking it the ROM issues and I had it to twrp back to stock and it charges fine.

Anyone know what the cause not charging, ROM issues?
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GibsonSGJ:
I did have an issue with my first Nexus 9. It started crashing and ended up being a hardware issue. I had it replaced however, and my new one has been working great. I'm completely stock. When Marshmallow came out I wiped and flashed the factory image. I like to do that for any major update. I usually clear the cache partition after OTA's. The light bleed is really subjective. I don't see it on mine during anything I could consider regular use. But if I reboot in a dark room, during startup the screen is way brighter than normal. I can see some edge bleeding at that point until the screen dims down. But I typically don't utilize my tablet for watching reboots in the dark, so I don't obsess over it.

Lastly, the heat... Oh the heat. What can I say, my Nexus 5 gets hot when I'm running a game for a while or doing a factory reset and updating apps all over again. Prior to the Nexus 5, I had an HTC One X (snapdragon not Tegra), and it got hot sometimes when running games or anything intense. My first gen Nexus 7 may have gotten hot, but it was always in a case so I honestly didn't notice (or care). Why I should be freaking out all of sudden when my Nexus 9 gets hot around in the area that houses the processor is beyond me. It's a powerful chip with two massive cores and a large GPU. The only time I notice the heat from the chip is when I'm running a game, sometimes during factory reset/update, and chrome. This thing doesn't break a sweat doing anything else. If you are watching downloaded MP4's (don't judge) on something like MX Player, this thing will run for 10 hours nonstop. Chrome is the only real oddball. This is the first device I've used that uses a lot of processing power to run chrome, and it can depend on the web pages. I keep "prefetch page resourses" turned off, and I use the data saving feature as it compresses the data on Google's servers before it's downloaded to your device. I don't know if it makes a hell of a lot of difference, but it makes me feel better!

Other than that, I have to say that I love the display, and for me, whatever tablet comes after this one needs to live up to the sound quality from those front facing speakers.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aar On:
Apparently it only appears not to charge, if you reboot the battery level with refresh to the actual level.

If you're on Pure Nexus ROM this is common, flashing Fire Ice kernel solves the problem.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doitright:
The screen is a HELL of a lot BETTER than amoled CRAP.

I'm speaking from experience. Two amoled devices, one of which is a Nexus 6. They're terrible.

The build quality is just as good as anything else out there. Glass face, aluminum trim. Not much to go wrong there.

That.

If putting it back to stock fixed it, then you have your answer.

Not all hacked up crap you download from random places on the internet is actually functional.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Masteryates:
Back to the original question for others......

Yes it is worth buying but only for the right price and if you're prepared to root. A few users seem OK with stock but most are not happy performance wise.

If you could make do with only a 7" screen, I'd save the money and get the Nexus 7 2013 personally. Much better performance for way less money. :angel:
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bofh999:
after a year using it as my everyday device it certainly changed the way i used my phone.

on my phone i use only nessesary apps like navigation, messenger and similar, no more games , only little bit of news,

everything else is now on my nexus, from music , games, news, video.. and iam almost really happy with it.

i have some issue with battery lifetime, no wonder given how much i use it :)

the size is perfect for reding and surving, given for video a 16:9 would be better but overall i like this more.

performance wise iam ok with it since i dont do some real intesive stuff,

so bottom line as a recreational device, to read your newspaper and websites, plays a little, listen to music and stuff is absolutly worth it.

given you get updates for an insane long time its absoltuly worth the deal. its not the absolute flagship then agian it doenst need to be to be good and fun.

btw it has apt-x even you wont find much about it in the specs, it has it and it works. huge difference for watching videos and wirless bluetooths :)

and i take this everytime over better built samsungs who are doomed to no updates after 2 years

[Note Edge General] MikeyFTL:
I had an interesting conversion on AT&T's forum today. In short, I learned that both AT&T and Verizon had Samsung "hard code" their software to all their phones by altering the bootloader in version 5.1.1. This is nothing new to anyone who's tried to root their AT&T or Verizon Note Edge after the update. We know it as "branding", but in the past it was something we could usually bypass. No more. These "damaged" bootloaders will never allow these phones (and all future phones) to be rooted or upgraded EVER AGAIN. It's just not something a piece of software or an app can ever bypass. Even if you had AT&T unlock the SIM and you went to T-Mobile, you still have to live with AT&T's mountain of bloatware because the ROM can't be flashed. It like buying a PC and not being able to delete Windows Vista...ever. The horror.

What makes it worse is that doing a carrier unlock and jumping ship will get you no joy. I asked how someone gets OTA updates on a carrier unlocked phone and they said you can't. You can never update again. You'll need to go to Best Buy and have them flash updates for as long as you own the phone. How this doesn't violate the carrier unlock law is beyond me.

Google created an operating system that was supposed to be open source. We were happy to play the root game for years, but now AT&T and Verizon have changed the rules of the game and effectively put an end to the idea of open source. Now AT&T and Verizon androids are no better than iphones. If you ever want to root your Samsung devices in the future, DO NOT BUY YOUR PHONE FROM EITHER OF THESE CARRIERS!

This is a practice that they have already admitted will continue. #unlockourbootloaders

Thankfully, the firmwares are available (usually) quite quickly, and the drivers and tutorials are easily found so you can flash your own update with ease!

*Sigh* - less than 24 hours and it appears to be broken. Phone popped up with an update this afternoon (UK unbranded handset) and all installed fine. Now, camera won't start and just gives a "Warning camera failed" error... I've tried all guides online (clear cache partition, clear camera app data, remove SD card etc but no luck) did a full factory reset and camera worked for less than 30 mins and failed again.
