[Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers] remar786:
Hi,

i have a problem with ADB drivers for the phone. i have downloaded it from Sony (Link:https://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/drivers/xperia-x-driver/) and install it like they said (by going in to device manager and manually installing it). after booting it to Fastboot, Flashtool says i have to install them from the drivers folder, which however, does not contain the Xperia X driver. Also, when selecting the Flashboot and Flashmode drivers, one installs but the other doesn't which is "Google, Inc, (WinUSB) Android UsbDeviceClass".

While in Fastboot, i tired to delete it, then update it using the download driver from Sony which failed to install. Also, in device manager it say something like S1 fastboot driver with a Waring symbol (it's not recognised), and upon checking in flashtool while in Fastboot, it says there is no ADB drivers installed, just Fastboot.

i have tried booting the phone with USB debugging and it does recognise it, but still doesn't work when booting to Fastboot.

BTW i am on Windows 10

any information would be useful. :)

Force install adb driver over device manager
[Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers] remar786:
thanks, just to confirm, by force install do you mean to download from sony and install within device manager, by 'adding legacy software' ?

if so, i have done that and the driver appears, and shows the following error:

This device cannot start. (Code 10)

The specified request is not a valid operation for the target device.

Also, still and unrecognised 'S1 fastboot ' driver appeared when in Fastboot.

thank you again.
[Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers] max26292:
If you install Jdk you already have driver, you just right click choose update driver> choice option 2 ( I choose driver from my computer > choose from list device > android > adb. Next, it will show a alert message bla bla > yes :3 use flash tools again to see the magic

How to install ADB Xperia x

finally!!!

it's worked. Thanks for your help max26292 (although would have been nice to hear back but a huge thank you!)!

Here's what i did (not in the exact order though)

i used the instruction from Sony - http://support.sonymobile.com/global-en/xperiae3dual/kb/0231018805656b91c0145c620eeaf004cb9/(Not for the Xperia X though but usable) on how to install the Xperia driver, and after restarting the PC, Flashtool still didn't recognise while in Fastboot. Also, in device manage there, was a Waring sign next to it, and gave the error as mentioned previously. image is below of the sign.

[IMG="warning"]http://i.imgur.com/OUdoj1o.png[/IMG]

I then installed the 15 seconds ADB from https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2588979 ( i keptpressing Y) after a reboot and putting the phone in Fastboot, still Flashtool had the same messages about drivers, like i said in the first post.

i then tired out max26292's method, which

there are images below to show the process

. i put the phone in Fastboot, and where the warning sign was, NOT THE SAME PLACE AS THE IMAGE SHOWN ABOVE, rather where it said

"S1Boot Fastboot"

. using the steps you mentioned (THANKS ALOT BTW!) :

i right clicked on the s1 fastboot> clicked update driver> chose the second option - browse my computer>

the clicked on "let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"> then browsed for the driver i'd already installed from Sony - the "Sony sa0114> kept clicking next, and yes to a warning message> restarted computer and BANG! it worked!

[IMG="S1Fastboot"]http://i.imgur.com/klsR1ZW.png[/IMG]

[IMG="Browse computer"]http://i.imgur.com/z6oys6D.png[/IMG]

[IMG="Pick from list"]http://i.imgur.com/9wOG6uJ.png[/IMG]

[IMG="driver selection"]http://i.imgur.com/1BGhj5S.png[/IMG]

i however should mention that i did try to install the flashmode and fastboot driver from flashtool, but one of them failed to install - i have mentioned n my previous post, please refer back. so, you may want to do that, but i think the 15 seconds ADB will do it for you. also, i have not done commands so i can't test it out fully, bu when i do, i will let you know.

again i would like to thank everyone for your help, really appreciate it! :)

P.S. Please put a F U C K ING updated guide up Sony, T W A T s.
[Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers] max26292:
Please read carefully =-= I told Android driver not sony =-=
[Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers] remar786:
thank you, but i don't have them. i only have the Sony ones and ADB by Samsung, which the 15 seconds ADB program installed.

[IMG="sam 1"]http://i.imgur.com/RdDwmlI.png[/IMG]

[IMG="sam 2"]http://i.imgur.com/Pjxl3jq.png[/IMG]

when i connected to Fastboot, Flashtool does recognise it, so it should work right?

thanks again

[Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers] remar786:
Thank you but it's working fine with the way I installed it (by installing the Sony driver from the list)
[Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers] max26292:
you also use driver pack in flashtool because it include android driver
[Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers] remar786:
yes i did use it, but only one installed. i did before i installed both drives, (Fastboot and ADB) but one installed and one didn't ( i think the ADB driver failed and the other one installed).
[Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers] YasuHamed:
1. install XPERIA COMPANION

2. INSTALL FLASHTOOL (www.flashtool.net)

3. after installing flastool goto C:\Flashtool\drivers and you will find "Flashtool-drivers.exe" / run it and install from list "common fastboot drivers", "common flashmod drivers" and xperia z series with Xperia X series motherboard drivers.

windows 10 gives digital signature verification errors so you have to

then repeat point "3"

you should be ok

[T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers] dbs179:
I wasn't thinking and tried to apply the latest update (20f i think) OTA while I was rooted with TWRP working. My phone rebooted, but now only boots to TWRP, even if I select "System" in the reboot options it comes back to the TWRP screen. Is there any easy way to fix this, or do I need to do a full fresh install from scratch? I'm hoping there is a quick fix.

Thanks,

Dave
[T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers] jeffsga88:
Technically the OTA should have failed, so odd if it actually installed, but never take otas whole rooted. Anyways, first thing to try is this:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/misc bs=256 count=1 conv=notrunc

Let it go into TWRP and go to advanced and terminal and type the above and reboot. Hopefully that will help, if not do the following:

1) Use lgup or uppercut to flash 20A kdz.

2) use recowvery method for TWRP and root

3) visit autoprimes thread and download the 20F complete zip that you can flash in TWRP (make sure to reflash SuperSU or magisk after flashing 20F, also I recommend deleting the recovery from boot.p file after flashing new 20F update to ensure you don't lose TWRP).

[T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers] dbs179:
I was too far down the rabbit hole once I saw your post to try. I just ended up putting 20A back on, using recowvery and then putting Autoprimes 20F overtop. Worked great, just took me more time than I had planned to mess with my phone. I guess that is what I get for not thinking.. Thanks for the tip anyway, maybe it will come in handy for someone else.

Thanks,

[T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers] jeffsga88:
Well at least you were able to get it fixed. You may want to Diane otas so you don't have that issue anymore. Only issue with disabling the otas on T-Mobile is that it leads to Google play services wakelocks and battery drain. I used to have a fix on MM that disabled otas and got rid of the wakelocks, but it didn't seem to work on N. Here's the commands to disable otas from autoprimes thread:

adb shell "su -c 'pm disable com.google.android.gms/.update.SystemUpdateService$ActiveReceiver'"
adb shell "su -c 'pm disable com.google.android.gms/.update.SystemUpdateService$Receiver'"
adb shell "su -c 'pm disable com.google.android.gms/.update.SystemUpdateService$SecretCodeReceiver'"
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] qwertyuiop89:
Hi all,

Just switched to the s8 from a google pixel.

Beautiful phone, but if is noticeably slower, in many ways:

1. Poor screen responsiveness of the keyboard. Typing on SwiftKey is slower on the s8 than the pixel. It seems that take a split second longer to recognise the touch.

2. Scrolling stuttering. The pixel's scrolling is buttery smooth. The s8 seems to be seriously slopping frames for something as simple as scrolling a page of text on chrome!

3. App switcher. It's really very jelly compared to the buttery smooth Pixel.

Anyone else experienced these issues, and /or have any thoughts?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] VaderSS:
I had moments yesterday where my S8 had skipped or stuttered, but it's been perfect today.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] vw65bus:
No issues here, and I'm no samsung fan boy. I've got iPhone 7 plus, zte axon 7, lg v20, and I've owned nexus devices. But with My track record with samsung I'd know for sure in 2 weeks lol. Happy so far
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] haqone:
Has been butter smooth for me and I have not noticed any lag on the keyboard or in any screen. Not sure why you are experiencing such poor performance.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] leyvatron:
Pixel is bare bones and Samsung is full of features and customization (some useful and others a waste). Samsung is know for bloatware which slows the phone down, but my S8 is fluid.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] foresterh:
I noticed the same thing

I noticed a delay with my s8 compared to the pixel xl when I happened to switch between apps on both. To test it out I opened up the same two apps and double tapped the toggle window button. The s8 is slower and not as smooth. There may be an animation speed setting that makes it faster but still seems like it wouldn't be as smooth.

Typing this in noticing swift key going slower too.

My battery is at 15% so maybe something is optimizing it and slowing it down...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] VaderSS:
Started having problems again. Ironically, similar to the problems that caused me to switch from the S4 to the S8 and to what the OP mentions.. Freezing of apps and high battery draw. Stuttering and slow to switch apps and unlock. Problems with keyboard not recording keystrokes. Then it goes b as back to being perfect again.

There is an update ready, but I'm having flashbacks to the update that locked the S4 down. I know this phone is already locked down more than the S4 ever was, but still...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Markinus:
No problems here. It's really fast. Faster than my old S6 Edge.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] mlock420:
Yes to my surprise this sammy built phone hasn't lagged yet but it's too early to tell

I always disable window animation in developer tools. Make it way better for me. I don't like window animation.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] vw65bus:
Yep another week and a half we'll know, hoping it doesn't. But if it's going to I hope its before my return window. I think samsung finally made a good speedy phone.

To anyone wanting to help speed it up and block updates until there sure it's a good update. I disabled updates in developer settings, and set animations to .5x.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] mlock420:
Yeah I'm not updating cause remapping Bixby is the best for that button... now if we can remap that fingerprint scanner lol
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] vw65bus:
Lol yep that would be awesome and funny. Ya I have my bixby button set to google now. Wish there wasnt a button there though.

I got a question is there a way to get rid of that ota update symbol on my status bar or do I download the update and just don't install?...i really wanna get rid of that symbol but don't wanna risk the update being accidentally installed
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] vw65bus:
Unfortunately, I don't know how to get rid of it. (Yet) I'm pretty sure once you set it up to stop updates it doesn't show up. But same with my case I didn't know the update was going to break bixby button so I stopped it when I found out. Now mine shows, and I've tried to get rid of it by blocking its notifications thru holding down on it and going to its settings. But it still shows up. I'm still working on a work around to get rid of it. Once I do I'll let you know.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] mlock420:
I can't remember if we can just download it and then once it offers to install maybe we could ignore it but I forgot if that was the case for 7.0 update for s7e
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Scottland:
I'm getting stuttery scrolling across various apps. Some are smooth though, and others more like a mid-range phone from a few years ago - not what you'd expect from a flagship device today.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Tugs4life:
I'm experiencing the stuttering apps. As mentioned in this thread, disabling window animations has helped with this experience.

This is my first android phone since the HTC one X.

Can we expect any custome ROMs? Or updates to improve performance?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] peachpuff:
Not all apps are created equal, some are smoother than others simply because they're written differently.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Scottland:
I agree, but the same apps are perfectly smooth on my other Android devices (OP3, Pixel C).
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] spinkick:
Have you guys noticed if changing screen resolution changes the performance? I keep wanting to go to the highest but feel like it will use more battery and be slower.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] bjc112:
Zero lag here.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] sn0warmy:
I'm coming from a Google Pixel as well and can happily say that 48 hours in, I've experienced no noticeable lag/slowness in the S8, compared to my Pixel. Even using gBoard as my default keyboard has been flawless. Whether I'm typing one letter at a time or using the swipe feature to type, it's been buttery smooth.

However, I should mention that I did enable developer options and turned "Window animation scale" and "Transition animation scale" both to 0. I'm also using Nova Launcher instead of the stock launcher.

Time will tell, but so far I'm not seeing any of the lag/choppiness that people have complained about with TouchWiz for years.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] VaderSS:
I disabled animation as well, and it seems to have done the trick.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] neles86:
i also experience no lag compared to my Pixel XL. I have everything stock including animations (since i like it), however i have disabled all bixby packages/services.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] cc999:
Wait

The real test is 2 weeks from now. Samsung is notorious for the lag problems over time. This is why I am keeping my Pixel. Zero lag all the time. No Bixby button and a fingerprint scanner thats in the proper place.

Keep us posted.

I've had my S7 Edge (exynos) for 1 year and 1 month and it has always been lagfree, crashfree and crazy fast. The first day with my S8, I noticed stuttering while scrolling within the native browser and also terrible batterylife. After the next day I received a update and since then it's been buttery smooth and batterylife is a ton better than my S7 Edge even though reviewers have said otherwise... Can't ever believe those written reviews.

I was nervous about battery life but this thing is insane with over 6 hours of SOT non plus version!!! I'm pumped. And I don't know why the FPS location is even an issue.

Right now the Snapdragon variant is more optimized, so people with the Exynos are more likely to face some lagg ( like I do ). I hope they update the soon soon to fix this.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] krabman:
I've found with Sammy that it helps a lot to disable some of the features that you aren't using. If you're like me you've gone through the settings and mentally said, "Ah, that might be interesting and useful", and turned on quite a number of features that you don't actually use. These are the ones I'm referring to, uncheck them. Wont make it a Pixel, much lighter software over there, but it usually gives you a small but welcome performance bump in the GUI.

Black theme? That probably has something to do with it compared to the stock white theme.

I can't argue with that I've always stuck to that theory of having dark ui helps battery on every phone
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] riz157:
Of course it's not as smooth as pixel phone, it's expected.

Pixel doesn't really have any bloatware so rarely lags or stutters.

I've found S8 plus does stutter and lag.

It's my favourite phone due to design overall experience.

It's the only device which feels and looks more premium then iPhone 7 plus.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] YellowGTO:
I'm guessing most people complaining of lag have the bixby button remapped. I also experienced lag while testing that. Been butter smooth since I uninstalled All in one gesture.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Varekai:
I don't have any lag in apps, but I UT it does take a couple seconds for them to launch, especially the play Store. Happens both in Nova and stock launcher. I don't remember having that launch lag on day one.

I sold my Pixel for the S8+ and it's much smoother than the pixel in apps such as facebook and instagram, the pixel used to stutter while scrolling the S8+ doesn;t at all. Super quick, Exynos UK Version.

Verry fast here and extremely happy with it
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Supraman21:
The only lag I experience is when exiting out of the stock browser. No matter what I do you can always see a frame rate drop when exiting it.

I did suffer from a slow wake when hitting the power button but setting the animation speed slower helped that out.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] enigma4321:
I have a feeling that most of the issues with lag are on the 835 versions.. (i also have an 835 version, canada, and i have experienced lag..

I have the Exynos version of the S8+, I experience no lag whatsoever.

Anyone else not able to send MMS messages or gifs when connected to WiFi using Google Messages?

I've been using Google Messages and Gboard forever on everyone I've owned but with the S8+, while connected to WiFi, messages just hang. Sent messages always say "sending" and messages sent to me show constantly as downloading. It's not until I toggle WiFi off that the messages come through.
