What's the choice? Speaking for myself, I like the phone and aggressive memory management is the price I have to pay to own one. It doesn't mean I'm "blind" it just means it's not a big enough weakness to make me go somewhere else. But since I'm not a martyr I'm not going to buy it and ***** about it. If I did buy something else I also wouldn't come back here *****ing about a weakness on a phone I've passed on and at that point no longer mattered to me. But that's just me. ;)

Another video, more recent showing the OP3 reloading one of the games with the N7 doing alright. None of these "XYZ style test" prove anything, the iPhone usually wins them all. Didnt the OP3 "kill the note" in one of the earlier videos.

Any one of us here could do a comparison of whatever we wanted and post it to YouTube. Objectivity is optional. So are consistent controlled conditions. People looking at those kinds of videos aren't looking at them objectively either. If the video supports the point they want it to make it's a "good" video. If it doesn't it's a "bad" video. That's why I only trust a handful of reviewers and they all use subjective vs. objective testing and are clear about what their testing and the conditions they are testing under. Both those YouTube video are so all over the place I didn't get the point the publisher was trying to make other than he was killing time to pronounce

his

winner. Kudos to him, he probably got a boat load of cash based on how many people took the bait.

Root needed, right? (Knox and Samsung Pay lost forever, right?)

Any official info related to better Grace UX with Nougat? I mean, you are talking about operational system itself as a whole (Android/TouchWiz) or you mean specifically Grace UX layout/features?

As a brand new Samsung TouchWiz, I don't think there will be significant changes after Nougat release. I don't think they would elaborate a whole new design and concept to just discard it some months later when new Android version is finally available. Probably we will get better multi windows feature (Android native feature now) and a few new things related to 7.0 here and there, but, to be honest, TouchWiz Grace UX (mainly it's layout/design) will be like absolutely the same probably.

Every year a new Note and every year people whining and complaining... lol
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] sooyong94:
I think many people forget one thing - it's the feature count that matters. What's the point of having a super fast device when you don't even have the ability to control the device at your own will? Sure the iPhone will runs circle around it but does it have expandable memory? Secure Folders? Water and dustproofing? Split screen/multiwindow apps? Stylus and Edge screens?

Remember: Power is nothing without control - Pirelli

I sadly returned my note 7 yesterday to AT&T after one week of use. The lag was too frustrating and it is a shame because it is a beautiful phone. I showed the folks at the AT&T store that it would take five taps before a game app would even open. That's just opening the app and it took much longer for the game to load and start. Every aspect had a lag from text messages, chrome, and text messages. The store told me that the first batch will always have issues and my question is, when would an update be given to rectify the poor performance of the device? Does it matter that it is the first batch and will the second or third batch be improved? I want the phone back but only if starts running now smoother and no more lag.

[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] BarryH_GEG:
I'm using a AT&T Note7. I've never experiences your "five taps" or other issues and I have 100+ apps installed. I did notice something funky. The day after I started using the phone I experienced some general choppiness and dragging in scrolling. It went away by itself the next day. AT&T issued an update (I know, amazing in itself) and after I installed it the choppiness returned but again went away after a day. I can't explain it unless there's some app or apps that are collecting system data and creating caches that initially affect the phone when the s/w changes. The Samsung Device Management app seems pretty invasive as I've seen it clear out up to 40 background processes when I only have one or two apps showing open in Active Apps. So maybe its profiling feature is the cause. As it stands now my Note7 is as fast or faster doing the same things I did on my Note5. The initial choppiness issue may impact battery life too. The first complete day I used the phone the battery life was below my Note5 which kind of freaked me out. Now it's easily 40% better and I can stay off the charger from 6:00AM to 8:00PM where I'd have to top-up my Note5. The crappy battery life also returned after the AT&T update and then went away. Curious.

Back to the topic of the thread. I've been busy at work and haven't been able to really play with the phone but I notice no difference in apps being held in state in Recent Apps compared to my Note5. So that means at least 5-6 apps are being kept alive in the background.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] vision33r:
I can attest having reloads of background apps is terrible to use since I often switch apps when I need to look up something and hate having my background apps reload. The other issue I have is coming out this late, shouldn't we just demand for a Nougat update instead of fixing an outgoing one?

The timing of the Note 7 release is just really bad. The LG V20 will come out with Nougat baked in, I much rather have that even if there are ram problems. I rather not go 2 steps backward and only 1 step forward with the Note 7. By the time Note 7 receives official Nougat update we're talking 2017 another android update will be out.

[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] bonerp:
if these issues are such a big problem and it caused you untold anxiety when you had the note 5, why buy the note 7?? Just buy another brand that this doesn't happen on!

For the large majority there is no problem and its not like there not much choice in the mobile phone market...

There are a couple of bugs which will no doubt be ironed out. My note 5 is really slick (now) but the battery sucks. The N7 battery lasts really well and nougat might well introduce a load of fixes that address problems.

I will say this, since returning my Note 7 due to the recall I've started using my Galaxy S6 edge again until replacement Note 7's arrive. And oh man, my S6 edge is so much snappier with minimal lag, most likely due to the fact that it has root and is running XstreStoLite Deo Mod v3.3. It is unacceptable that a brand new phone with superior hardware to the S6 edge run slower with more lag.

I didn't want to trip Knox on my Note 7, but the difference is night and day, I think I'm going to have to in oder to tweak the performance to acceptable levels on the Note 7. What a shame.

As we all very well know there are Exynos and Snapdragon versions of the note.

We also know they're performance varies quite alot, and we shouldn't assume everyone here is from the US and has a SD variant.

I think it should be mandatory pointing out in every post which version you have because my impression is that nearly all note7 users on this forum have the SD variant, and only a few surprised Exynos users from europe who are surprised by the ****ty performance generally reported here so... for your consideration.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] puiradu2009:
The device was engineered that way. Another thing is that it's not about the RAM management but how those applications who are killed in background are built. For instance I tested the multitasking succeeded to open 4 hard games like GTA, Assassin's Creed, Real Racing 3, Nova 3 and another 5-6 apps and every time I recalled any of the applications there were no issues at all. Even after 15-20 minutes the games were opened. So it's not about the ram management but it's about how those light applications are set for this device.

[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] sbergman27:
The problem is not with Samsung's memory management. It is with the fact that most people are completely clueless about the Linux VM subsystem. Removing apps from memory sooner leaves substantially more available for the Page and Buffer caches, making the apps that you are actually using frequently *faster*. But people stupidly think they can gauge VM tuning simply by counting the number of apps which are allowed to clutter up Anonymous memory before being removed. Here's a clue for you: I know a hell of a lot more about memory management than most people, and Samsung engineers know a hell of a lot more about memory management than I do. With root, you can actually get the behavior that you *think* you want with one simple change in a parameter value. You'd get more apps in memory at once... and they would all run more slowly than they do at the default settings, or on other phones which let too much memory get wasted on rarely used applications.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] girn26:
What can we do being unrooted?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] sbergman27:
Use the phone normally. The default VM settings are pretty good. Even though I can tweak the VM parameters, I leave them at the defaults on my Note 7. To see how memory is being used, you can go to a terminal and cat /proc/meminfo . The "Buffers" value shows you the filesystem metadata that is cached in memory, and the "Cached" value shows you the file data cached. Writes to these caches do not block, and reads require no slow flash accesses at all. Free memory will optimally always be small. In Linux, all memory which is not used by programs is put to good use. Much of it being automatically allocated to and deallocated from these caches, as needed. More programs in memory = less Buffer and Page cache = a slower phone... that gets praised by people who do VM benchmarks without understanding VM.

I bought a Sm-g928a sim unlocked, but I use t-mobile service. The tmobile and at&t use the same bands except for the 900 mhz range.

Tmobile version:

LTE Cat9 700/800/850/900/1700/1800/1900/2100/2600 (Bands 1,2,3,4,5,7,8,12,20)

At&t version:

LTE Cat9 700/800/850/1700/1800/1900/2100/2600 (Bands 1,2,3,4,5,7,12,17,20)

Every or 4g lte band is the same in att version, but I don't get full bars. Close as I get is 3 to 4 bars, and there is a major difference in coverage. I travel a lot in CA, my note 5 gets coverage everywhere even in rural parts of the state. Edge plus drops all signals in rural part of state.

I'm I missing something or does the 900mhz band, do the outer limits of service?

Does tmobile use the 900mhz band in CA?

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

UPDATE: Read this!

TLDR: Don't flash 20j update and try to revert....==

HARD BRICK

Long version:

The new 20j update has the Anti-Rollback feature tag set that you can NOT revert back to 20e.......You will HARD BRICK your V10 if you do so. I have...and a few others have.

I was on Eliminater74 20e rom, which is excellent. But he released a P1 .zip for the new 20j update. This contains new bootloader etc. (no P2 which is the actual rom for 20j yet.)

This will boot on 20e, but users (myself included) noticed video issues with YouTube and soon after, others reporting that video recording is broken now.

Naturally, we thought to revert and flash back to the 20e bootloader P1. zip.......and that caused HARD BRICK. Phone gets stuck in Qualcomm Emergency Bootloader mode that is not recoverable.

FIX: Contact " tungkick" http://xdaforums.com/member.php?u=4965298

He helped me un-brick phone. No data was lost! Was quite easy actually. ( I don't see his methods or files he used released here on XDA publicly) (if it is i'm blind.) So don't ask me...contact "" tungkick" .

[T-Mobile LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speedingcheetah:
Yea....it sucks. I have literally been up all night trying every method I can to recover from the Qualcomm Emergency Bootloader mode I'm stuck in. There are some LG programing tools that seem to be fake/scam by some user...but those were for the G3 and G4 anyway. Nothing I tried worked.

Just bought the V10 2 months ago used off swappa, already rooted, twrp etc..about $300. Just got the thing all setup the way I wanted it too...sigh. THis is what I get for not being patient and seeing what others experience before flashing something so new.

I was slightly aware of an "Anti-rollback" thing,,,but had no idea it would apply to same and inter-version version of OS. I still don't get why flashing the 20j bootstack on top of the current 20e rom would have caused the video freezing of youtube issue. Standard troubleshooting measures dictated to flash back to the 20e Bootstack to see if the issue went away(I have flashed back and forth bootstack etc on my G3 before with no issues).

Whelp......I guess myself and the other user (SIGMAxB) the 2 confirmed hard bricks served as the community warning........and my very first hard brick and loss of a device in such a fashion. THankfully, I was able to find last night another used V10 on Swappa that is already root and TWRP...for slightly less money that what I paid for my now bricked device. Least I had made an LG backup last week, and all my data is on the External SD card...but still gonna be annoying to have to start over......

Any mad scientist or master flasher who knows how to recover such a bricked device... I would be interested in sending it to them to fix....(I doubt T Mobile will give me a new one, nor wil LG Service the device. It's still under LG warranty, but their site requires u upload a copy of the receipt, and their terms state only covers original owner. So used phone off Swappa.....does not qualify. )

So at least I have that option to pursue should CPR place fail to reflash phone.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supreme329:
I did the same thing. It really sucks because I been doing this for over 5 years and this is my first brick. I guess thats what we get for having faith in a developer that should of known or properly tested this before putting a rom out.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speedingcheetah:
While I agree that things should be tested...or otherwise noted that it has or hasn't been so.... (OP does have Status: Testing posted)

It wasn't the rom, his 20e rom runs great. But the updated P1 20j(bootloader)zip....it was the act of reverting and flashing the previous Bootloader version that caused the Hard Brick.

Until this point, I (and many others here) had not seen anything about the Anti-Rollback feature being an issue while on the same Android OS version (LP or MM builds). Now we know it is.

Additionally, the other posts on Eliminater74, rom forum....are indeed users reporting issues with the 20j zip...(mainly Video recording and YouTube streaming). However, the phone is not bricked.

Unfortunately, it's on us folks who flashed it right after it was released and then tried to revert who got screwed. It is definitely a good idea to wait a few days after something is posted to be sure others, mainly early adopters, don't report issues. If your phone is mission critical and you can not be without it or risk having a issue, then modding is not what you should be doing. Or at the very least, once you do get something flashed and stable.....stick with it (that voice in the back of my head was telling me this when i decided to try the update).

I am not sure as to how Eliminater74, had tested the P1 20j bootstack flashed to his 20e rom....but yes,,,,it does suck that this happened...but I am kicking myself in the head...not the dev. At least mine and the 2 others gave him waring and he was able to post a big red warning on the OP. Though I would suggest he remove the 20j part.....but that is up to him.

Least i had a backup phone to make use of until i can get a new V10...very annoying to have do so...but its something.

PS: I am actually starting to like my Moto X Pure more. Dual front facing speakers really nice. ON stock rom now, but used Bliss or while....that's is very nice and super tweakable. Screen isnt has sharp as the v10....and camera is just super basic. I also miss tap to unlock and the other LG specific features...but stock android is growing on me. The BT toggle has a dropdown to select devices to connect to right there, very convenient.
