Exynos > Snapdragon

What's the bet that most of the people here crying and whining about micro stutters and performance issues are Snapdragon users/owners? Been a common complaint since forever.

Even my Exynos S7 Edge still runs as smooth as the day I got it and I used that thing pretty heavily daily since it came out over a year ago. I've rooted the device and packed the thing with downloads, apps, settings, pictures, texts, videos, xposed apps etc etc.

I just had a play with it a sec ago just to make sure I wasn't misremembering the performance or something but the thing is still snappy AF.

Obviously when you open something for the first time it loads into memory during that time you might get skipped frames. Once in memory you shouldn't. I have animation set to 0 some minor lag when first opening apps etc even on Exynos. Mostly unnoticeable.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] xeathpk:
Okay that's fair enough. That's better than saying everything lags and the phone is unbearable. I think if people are complaining about the second or two it takes to load an app into memory they need something better to do with their time. Beyond that, if the phone really is going noticeably SLOW its usually down to user error 9 times outta 10.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] bimmerboii:
Had an S6 Edge Plus (Exynos) and compared to my brothers S6 Edge (non plus) Snapdragon the difference in performance is night and day. Samsung should just stick with their own SOC with all their products. And not just smoothness but better ram management as well. Hope I can get my hands on a Snapdragon S8 to compare my Exynos S8 Plus.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] appro77:
It's dropping frames all right and lots of them. The graphs at the bottom of this page show it quite well..........

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] xShadow125:
You're basically clueless. I have the Snapdragon version and I don't have performance issues. The complaints are isolated at best. Which brings me to my second point. You guys know that there's no way that the device will be faster than a stock Android phone, because it's not stock Android. If you want stock Android and absolutely can't stand a single drop in frames, then it's your fault for making purchase.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] mchief298:
They're right, though. The Exynos variants seem to be fairing pretty well compared to their Snapdragon counterparts. As a Verizon (Snapdragon) user? I can confirm this microstuttering and lag are indeed a thing.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] mlock420:
Couldn't have said it myself...no lag no frame drop on my snap dragon

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jpbl1976:
I've been using an Exynos S8+ (955FD) that I got on a trip to Hong Kong and it runs very smoothly. I don't get the microstutters that the SD folks are complaining about. I really don't know why Sammy just doesn't stick with its own silicon. Apple receives continued plaudits for using theirs so from a marketing perspective, why bother shipping an inferior implementation of SD when your native implementation (and therefore end-user satisfaction) is greater? Does it have to do with CDMA patents?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] htc fan89:
Main reason is Qualcomm
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jpbl1976:
Yeah. I recall that Sammy filed an amicus brief in support of the FTC's position in their case against QCOM. That and their current fight with Apple suggests that QCOM is exploiting their patent position.

It stutter way too often. Switching between newly loaded app is obvious. And secure folder took more then 2 second to start. Is it norm? Don't remember having this issue with note 7.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jeffreycentex:
I had the Note 7 for a week before I sent it back because it got hot enough to turn my skin red from heat (before the fiasco), it was the laggiest device I had ever used coming close behind a 1 GB Moto G I had to use for a time. Starting up an app took 15-20 seconds....

I don't see the lag on here, or it's not enough for me to notice...
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] angka8:
How long it takes to launch secure folder?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jeffreycentex:
Never had a reason to use it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] xShadow125:
T-Mobile S8+ user here. Everything is extremy snappy on my end, so I think those are just shenanigans. You probably just have a defective device. Have you tried an exchange? But it's like I've said, if you're saying that it lags because you want it to be faster than a Pixel XL then you're mistaken. The only time that I recall seeing my S8+ drop heavy frames was when I used a Bixby remapping app, but that was immediately fixed after removing it. The drop in frames happened so fast that the cause of the issue was very noticeable. I've since gotten a replacement for an unrelated issue and my device has worked flawlessly ever since.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Bisquit-02:
I suppose even a faster device will show some stutter now and then. But ultimately this is something apple has a better hand in. And I'm certainly not an apple fan, not at the least.

But my iPhone does operate pretty smooth, while almost all ram is most of the time in use.

My samsungs always had plenty of free ram and the s8+ has 1GB+ ram free, yet it's still not as smooth. Or perhaps it's because of the better displays, where you will notice these things quicker.

As for snapdragon versus exynos, I was always happy with the latter, but I doubt you will notice any difference in day to day use.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iamnotkurtcobain:
iPhones and iOS has stutters too. Saw it yesterday on my mothers iPhone 6S with latest iOS. Swiping down to bring down the Keyboard (Gboard in this case) wasn't 100% smooth. It was everytime a little stuttery.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Bisquit-02:
Yes that's correct. swiping from the bottom up also stutters a bit. I suppose when you come from a slower phone it will always feel quicker and smoother.

I initially experienced a minor lag but I was able to solve it using this setting.

Settings > Developer Options > Turn off Hardware Overlays/ Always use GPU for screen compositing

Only problem with this setting is that Netflix doesn't show video when this is enabled.

[LineageOS Questions & Answers] danimanz98:
Hi, today I decided to install LineageOS* on my old Xperia T to see how it was and I really liked it, but there is an extrange thing I've seen on my device. It has 16GB of internal storage, but according to ES Explorer it only lets me less than 2GB for my personal files (I had more or less 11GB with the stock ROM).

If I go to Settings > Storage, it says that the system uses 12,59GB, which is a lot. And if I go to the root folder with ES Explorer, select everything and open properties it says that the size of the folders is 5,10GB (with no SD Card inserted).

I don't know if did something wrong while installing or what could have caused this, I tried to reinstall LineageOS but this wasn't solved. I would be grateful if someone could help me, because if this is a problem of the OS I wouldn't install it on my personal smartphone.

I would have attached some screenshots but I don't know how to do it because I'm new in this forum. I've read that there is a button with a clip between the smiley and the undo buttons to do it, but I haven't got it.

*I installed LineageOS 14.1 with GAPPS and LineageOS su permissions to have root access.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] Oski146:
The same thing on my galaxy s4 snapdragon 600 international , system needs 10 gb stockrom only needs 4 gb what the hell is goin on
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] danimanz98:
I think it could be a failure of the system when it administrates the space, because the file manager says that the size of the folders in the root directory is 5,10GB (the system + user files), which is something normal. But in settings, system uses 12,59GB. I hope they solve it with an update or something :/

Or maybe there is a partition that hasn't be erased or cleared while installing the ROM or the recovery, but I don't think so because Xperia devices doesn't have the recovery partition, recovery is included with the OS :confused:
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] Oski146:
Yeah it should be fixed as spon as possible. Otherwise ove ported it unofficial to my galaxy tab a 9.7 but not running smooth as iam not the best in programming... ... btt: hopefully it gets fixed otherwise i uninstall it and use ressurection rom

[LineageOS Questions & Answers] danimanz98:

[LineageOS Questions & Answers] danimanz98:
And now I formatted all the partitions I could via TWRP and reinstalled it again but the same. One day, when I have time, I'll try with other ROM, just to compare...
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] danimanz98:
Ops, I forget this thread. I come back to say that I returned to the original ROM and now my storage is correct, I have my 10GB aprox for my files, so the problem should be caused by LienageOS.

I don't think that I will reinstall it, now I prefer to have the official version, so I'll stop answering here.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] Erarnitox:
for all the guys reading this having the same problem: you should format your data partition from ext4 to f2fs and reinstall linage os after that again

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Born<ICs:
Was rooted on stock 7.0 and SuperSu, TWRP.

Flashed latest april factory image 7.1.2 using Flashfire which went Great. Rebooted to twrp recovery and flashed pixel mod, great.

Noticed I'm still on bootloader 3.62 and radio 3.72. ? So I guess flashfire doesn't update those.

I'm on Verizon.

Do I need to update to latest bl 3.67 and radio 3.81?

By what method? Fastboot, Flashfire, TWRP

Thanks much

Curious why flashfire skips over these and if it's possible to add these images separately in the flashfire sequence.

Thanks
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5.1:
Hello,

I keep my bootloader up to date. Because it's part of the system, maybe security flaws have been patched... If it was useless, they wouldn't release a new one. :)

The radio? Well, maybe it will improve your reception or maybe not. It could even be worse. Radio version doesn't matter. If you want, you can flash the new one and if you don't see an improvement, you can flash your current one back. It's up to you...

Check this: https://flashfire.chainfire.eu/settings/#flash_bootloaders

The part about flashing bootloader. Didn't see infos regarding radio though.

Good evening everybody, annoyed to not be able to use AndroidPay on my phone I decided to try something "risky"; so I got back from custom rom to stock rom, restore the recovery and look the bootloader again following the beautiful tutorials I found in this forum. Just to name a few:

To restore and lock your bootloader: https://xdaforums.com/le-pro3/how-to/guide-return-to-stock-lock-bootloader-t3539513

I had to re-flash the recovery because I forgot to set the correct build prop settings: https://xdaforums.com/le-pro3/how-to/leeco-le-pro-3-root-t3476560

So, after going back and forward few times, I was able to get phone signal and everything look fine, I was even able to install Android Pay and make it "work"!!! until I reach the SMS verification of my card... then I discovered my Phone is not receiving nor sending sms.

Please can one of the big gurus in this forum enlight me? what did I miss? I'm able to call and receive calls, but not SMS.

I own a SGH-T999V and I want to flash TWRP on it, but it does not support it. (I checked on the TWRP official website), but can I flash the i9300 TWRP on to it, and would I have any problems?
[Android General] RealWelder:
Definately, would have problems. It's very rare that one device's TWRP would work on another...but it has happened. I would search around here, there might be a working unofficial build.

Most likely the TWRP wouldn't boot at all unless the device's have the same chipset, then the touchscreen would likely not work, and also the mountpoints for the dev blocks would most-likely be different. Even on different varaints of the same device, often the recoveries are not interchangeable. The Core Prime recovery worked on the LTE Prevail, though...so there's a slight chance, but understand that trying it could possibly hard brick the device also.
