[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] jrwingate6:
You are right about games running smoother on the iPhone. I just couldn't deal with iOS any longer than the year i put up with it.

By the way, how do you fix the issue if you have your phone rooted?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Derpling:
It's not 100% fix but it should work, though your battery will drain very fast.

As of now, if u install Kernel auditor and change governor to performance, the performance will be almost at their best, if u have xposed u can install wanam xposed for MM and disable DVFS, this can make the animation and the system lag a bit, but that should remove the massive throttling that sammy love to do.

None of it is dangerous, been using it on Note 5 ever since it released, but the performance trick will drain battery fast.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] ManDone.vRs:
you are right , is about kernel , i was on note 4 ,one year ago and i have tested stock kernel with custom kernel by EMotion team , and i saw the difference , 4x faster and 4x smoother , no lag , everything was superb ....
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Derpling:
yep what worries me is that we have no custom kernel! when Note 5 released, on first week u had custom roms with custom kernel, the GS7 and GS7E are very popular, i think samsung made it very hard to custom their kernel, and custom kernel for S7E is must have thing, the default sucks too much.

Guys is it better to leave game launcher and game tools on? I disabled them the day I got my phone
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] turtuv:
It depends. If you use them obviously you keep thrm, otherwise you can disable them.

Every game I've tried plays smoothly, including intensive GPU demanding games such as NOVA 3, etc.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Derpling:
try angry birds 2 on level 40+ and tekken 6 on ppsspp heck even tekken dark resurrection, all lags like no tommorow, that was NO ISSUE in Note 5 with android 5.1.1, but with 6.0.1 it became to lag like device from 2009.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] boreyda:
Indeed it is not the only thing that makes phone lag(advanced levels etc). In my experience the first 5 or 6 minutes (with game services etc disabled) smooth as butter, afterwards it is slow motion, i think a lot of people do not play games as continuous as i am or others, because if you see the 6 minutes then everything is more than Ok, it is just perfect, afterwards lag came in. Another thing to mention is when playing in slow motion, if an email notification shows up, game become smooth within the timespan, but finishes as notification finishes. Exynos device by the way
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Derpling:
Thank you! that exactly what i was saying, most people play for 1 or two minutes and conclude that the phone is fine... what a bummer.

Also if u alt tab for 5 second and come back to the game, it somehow gets 60 FPS for couple of seconds, meaning sammy throttling the device to save more battery life, at least give us the options, a real options not fake like game launcher or gametuner that does ****.

Here take a look https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhhS9eA6rCk
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] luckyguy360:
Guy's there is misunderstanding, well I have tried several games,the only 2 games I had issues with need for speed no limits and dead trigger 2 , I have the same issue u have lag starts after about 2 mins however this only happens while playing any of these 2 games, I play modern combat 5 on better quality (max quality) and it runs so well I get fps drop and stutter from time to time but no big deal, I tried vainglory,the walking dead and sniper fury (better quality aswell) they run pretty good throttle never happened while playing these games, try them for urself, now I believe it's an optimization issue with both of nfs no limits and dead trigger 2along with angry birds (in ur case )
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Derpling:
In my observation Note 5 gaming performance dropped after android 6.0.1. S7 performance weren't good from the beginning.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] jedimyndtryx:
Curious to know the issue myself. My issue lies in the new Disney games....Magic Kingdoms and Disney Crossy Road. On iOS they run smooth...excellently actually....on my 6S Plus and iPad Pro....when I play them on my S7 Edge they LAG.....same went for the Nexus 6P I had. Very horrible gameplay....but games like Hay Day and Temple Run run very smoothly. More than likely its a developer issue. Absolutely loving the S7 Edge though....being a Samsung hater/Apple fanboy for so long, its crazy how blind we are to certain things. To heck with it....YOLO lol
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Derpling:
Unless game is poorly optimized, no game should lag on S7E specially if it worked perfect on weaker device, aka Note 5 and even Note 4.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] NonXtreme:
I just try NFS No limit on my Exynos S7E with gamebench application(for framerate indicator) and cool tool(for monitoring GPU clock and load)

The strange thing happened. The GPU clock somehow went to idle during the gameplay for no reason and that make the game start to lag. The phone also wasn't hot and the cpu load is not high at all so the CPU definitely not bottleneck the GPU.

I think the reason for the lag are poor optimisation of the game or just bad gpu scaling(which in my opinion is unlikely to be culprit since not all games I play lag).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] dexterxda:
Hi guys! Disney Crossy Roads freezes on the main title for me. I have a GS7E exynos. Any help with that?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] didoop:
I can add up, that after switching from s5 with CM and custom kernel I tried gta sa and you can see grapgicsh glitches occasionaly and performance is not as expected. Only small increase from gs5. But s7e has alot more gpu power so again optimalisation. After using game tuner and decreasing resolution to full hd, perfomance got alot better but still i have glitches. I will try ppsspp and report.

ColinMcRae whitout any problem, even when game said your device is unsupported.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Derpling:
Only solution for those atm is root the device, install custom kernel and set governor to blu_active or ondemand.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] danieldp1990:
I fixed this issue on my S7 Edge with exynos cpu.. Just go to settings, battery, details, and turn off APP power saving...

I was used to have lags on games but now its perfect!!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] mdonnelly1127:
Power saving mode is off by default on the snapdragon version. Thanks for the advice though...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] danieldp1990:
I turn it off and it fixed the problems for me. Not a single lag on games Like NFS no limits, Altos. etc.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Megalodon360:
Really? So it doesn't throttle anymore? Did it terminate the slow motion-like issue that occurs after about 6 mins of playing in need for speed no limits?? Also are u using game tuner or not?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Jeffero:
This fix doesn't work at all for me. AC Identity still runs at about 25fps and PPSSPP drops fps from 55-60 to 40 in Tekken 6 after few fights, so the throttling is still present.

S7 Edge Exynos

Has anyone managed to deal with this poor gaming performance? Without rooting ofc.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Derpling:
u playing tekken 6 like me, it's awesome :D if u play with mokojin, you will maintain 60fps easier but that not a solution. imagebreaker kernel might help a lot with performance governor.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] drms12:
I had similar problems. Tekken 6 on ppsspp and Need For Speed No Limits, both had horrible lag after few minutes.

Imagebreaker Kernel solved the issue!!

And no need to change the cpu governor!

All games plays super smooth, no lag at all.

Exynos version here.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Derpling:
yes in a way, the interactive changes to performance when u play, but the overall UI performance are slow vs other kernels, well it's down to your preferences.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] drms12:
I don't have any problems with the ui performance! It is butter smooth.

You should do a clean install or check for suspicious apps working on the background.

Imagebreaker is the complete package.

I used Jesse , stock and Prometheus before. Both had UI lag.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Jeffero:
Having such a good game on a smartphone is definitely awesome, during the days when 95% of android / iOS games are trash, but that throttling is a real pain. I won't change the kernel, because I want to keep my warranty. There must be another way :( ...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] sangdencre:
[MENTION=4251592]drms12[/MENTION] what rom are you running ?

I switched from an iphone 6s+ and the gaming experience is soso, image breaker might be the solution I'm looking for
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] drms12:
The rom isn't really a factor.

The only thing that matter is to use ImageBreaker kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] sangdencre:
So I just have to root my device and flash that kernel and am good to go ? nothing else to setup ? :o
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] dave7802:
Technically speaking, Your not voiding your warranty.

Unless they can specifically identify that the software modification caused a hardware failure.

Then there should be no reason for Samsung to reject it (Common mistake)

BTW if your in the US, you should not be worried at all

Does anyone have this new rom? I'm not from India and I don't want to change my csc, so I'll just wait for this update to be avaiable in my country, but I'm curious about this. Does it change anything? Is the throttling still present?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Cactiw:
Have the same problem (60 fps at about 10 seconds after alt-tab and 30 fps all the time after) - on the nougat althought. I turned off all the battery saving modes that i found but the problem is still here.

Is there any solution without root or flashing rom/kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] TheGrands0n:
Man, Im having the EXACT same experience, and it drives me crazy since day 1 with the phone. I really want a solution for this that do not require root or anything like that... I have tried Game Tuner, the APP power saving someone mentioned here, but nothing helps.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] naryraza:
In what games do you guys have this issue ? So we could try and see if we all have this issue. Also, snapdragon or exynos version ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Cactiw:
Stormbound, Shadowgun : DeadZone, and in hearthstone i have 30 fps by default

I have galaxy s7 exynos version - not edge, but i am experiencing same problems as all people in this post.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] TheGrands0n:
exynos version here. I have this issues in Heartstone, Micromachines, Xenowerk, Pinout, Skyforce 1, Riptide GP: Renegade, and some others...

Something that i found out that helped with the FPS is some cases is to set the games as "not game" in Game Tuner. This made possible to play Micromachines in Very High quality and maintain 55-60fps, it was completely impossible before... Don't know why but it helped in some other games too.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] TheGrands0n:
The most infuriating thing is to see the phone performing really well during 10 seconds after alt-tabing the game, flawless 60 fps on Riptide GP: Renegade for exemple, only to see it going back to the choppy mess below 30fps as usual after 10 seconds...Makes me want to sell it and return to the iPhone...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Kzyw:
Damn soft trash from Samsung ... God damn it, punish these Koreans hahaha

[Sony Xperia M5] algebrathebard:
The reason to make this experiment beacuse I have problem with the original contacts app, that force close every time I open phone/contacts app.

So I looked for another phone app - True Phone, I like this app a lot, so I would like to replace it with the original one, so that I can go directly to phone book at the lock screen.

But after trying to freeze original phone app will lead to freeze original contacts app to be frozen the same time.

And I am not able to make the True Phone to be system app (strange! I could do that in other phone), so now I have to keep the original one together with True Phone which is a little waste of rom...

And m5 has so little RAM to waste?! Phone.apk shouldn't freeze or stop responding, so try clearing data on both phone and contact storage, but backup contacts first 'cause cleaning data on contact storage erasers all contacts.If you already did try this and didn't work you can try to repair your phone with Xperia Companion,but unroot the phone before trying to repair...Good luck

Ok so surprisingly I hadn't used Titanium Backup since I bought this phone back in November but tonight I was actually doing some backup while experimenting with different things and I noticed that Titanium wasn't cooperating and giving me a silly message telling me I had insufficient space !!!

Took me a bit to realize what the problem was. Titanium does actually give you a toast telling you of possible errors with SuperSU if you ever read them! Anyway the solution is to go into the SuperSU app, go into settings and disable "Mount namespace separation" and reboot. Then you should be able to use the app properly.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] mdonnelly1127:
Hey just wanted to know if anyone was experiencing lag in games. I turned off all game options in package disabler pro and it fixed the brightness issue but still having FPS issues. I play Order and Chaos 2 and on my Note 5 it performs beautiful, on this phone it's laggy and choppy. I can't figure out if it's a graphic issue, optimization issue, or a network issue with this phone. Please any input is greately appreciated!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] player911:
Probably a Gameloft issue. I always loved Order and Chaos but their device support is crazy. The SD 820 should be a best. But even on the LG G4 with the 808 last gen, tons of games had issues playing. I know Mortal Kombat was one that was so unplayable until several updates later. On the G4 there was a Game Optimizer or something in battery settings if I remember.

Also check Samsungs new Gameplay mode or whatever it's called. It's an overlay that could be causing slowdowns.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] NotoriousNeo:
I'm totally getting the same vibe from the gaming performance of this phone. A good example is the recently released Miitomo game. On my Nexus 6P and my boyfriends Droid Turbo, the game runs smoothly. However, on my S7 Edge it stutters and lags in a way that resembles missing animations or frames. It's pretty noticeable and it does not go away no matter what I do. I uploaded a video of this on YouTube and plan on showing a couple more games and apps that similar performance dips when it comes to graphics...

[YOUTUBE]bn9t0Y37qbo[/YOUTUBE]
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] cpufrost:
Smacky cars is the same way.

TBH it looks like a frame rate limiter.

It appears to be pumping like a PC game with a 60Hz refresh display and a GPU that can render 300+ FPS and is locked at 60Hz. It will jump like that. The hardware is probably too fast in all actuality. If it could be run without such a limit it would probably scream like a girl running from a gorilla. :D
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] NQNH:

Does anyone found an option to edit the length of the softkey backlight?

I would odin back to stock and if that didn't fix it, back to TMO.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] This guy needs help:
I'd recommend wiping the phone and then flashing the stock rom ( or cyanogenmod for fun ). Make a backup though since this will delete everything. This helped my issues, just factory reset and then find the newest rom on sammobile. Good luck bud☺

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
What version of TWRP, and more importantly, what version of SuperSU? I would recommend this version of supersu: https://download.chainfire.eu/932/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.71-20160331103524.zip and instead of factory resetting, after you install supersu in TWRP, just clear cache and dalvik
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] gspears:
I installed the version listed in the post above. Use it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] soul_vice:
I tried with both versions 3.0.1 and 3.0.2 of TWRP. I tried with whatever version of SuperSU is included in TWRP. I tried to install it when TWRP detects that SuperSU is not installed and it asks you if you would like to install it. Perhaps this is a known issue and I am just not aware of it? I will try downloading the recommended version above and flashing the .zip in TWRP manually this weekend.

Thanks all for your input!

I'm having the same issue with my S2 Classic, but I've got a SGS7. Both are running stock software/firmware. My issue started a couple days ago, so I'm thinking an update was applied to something that introduced this issue. I am hopeful it will be fixed in a future update (sooner than later).

I have the same problem and it is very annoying, bluetooth keeps disconnecting from my car, specially during calls and then tries to reconnect again.

Sometimes the call can go 15 minutes without disconnecting, other times it disconnects 2 times in 5 minutes, but it happens everyday twice at least. This is a very strange problem, can't find any solution. It is driving me nuts specially in a 700 euros phone!!
