Note 7 - This lag is unfreakingbelievable

[ThrottleJohnny]

THIS. So annoying.

Make sure to download the update that was released yesterday. It fixes the problem.

I agree that they have definitely come a long way, but instead of making useless apps like Samsung pay (basically a duplicate of Android pay), they need to focus on their software. They also need to stop making a gazillion different devices so stop fragmentation.

What? Samsung Pay is the most advanced mobile payment system available. Clearly out paces Android Pay and Apple Pay.

Apps that are useless to you are likely not useless for everybody. Looking at the scoreboard (devices sold), I'd say Samsung's model is working pretty well, and mass consumers like the offering.

People that are tech heads and benchmark geeks (said with affection!) just are not targets for Samsung (judging on their marketing strategy).

Zero lag issues but the again I don't feel the need to have 200 apps installed at all times. Also,it may just be a case of your device updating apps in the background causing the lag. Try going into airplane mode and see of the lag still persist.

I have 161 apps and no lag that isn't attributable to the app itself due to splash screen etc. I am not using an sd card and I have a hunch sd card may slow it down...but I have no actual tech knowledge. None. LOL

Samsung Pay is vastly different from Android Pay, though, as it supports MST, meaning that it can be used in a lot more places, even without NFC terminals, provided that your card is supported.

Android Pay is NFC-only, so its reach is limited.

Most don't understand the technology behind Samsung Pay.

Very true. I loved Google Wallet, then Android Pay, but I really wanted Samsung Pay because it is significantly more usable. They have accomplished what neither Google nor Apple could.

Right, because Samsung bought Loop Pay, who had the technology.

Folks, there are reasons (to this point) why Apple left the iPhones at FHD for displays: Battery life and performance (Apple stated that and not my conjecture). If you change the the Note 7 to FHD, it performs faster than with QHD and the battery life lasts iPhone 6+ level. Even at FHD, my N7 still looks better than my son's iPhone due to the better contrast.
Most of the benchmarks are tech funny, since compare a device that is pushing half the pixels. The impact to the GPU, cache, app and memory management is huge.

Jeebus! Will somebody please start a "Does Your Note 7 Lag" poll so I don't have to read through all these useless *lag* threads.

Question... how good is Samsung with software updates? Cause they do get firmware updates right? And some apps like AOD get updates right? Hopefully whatever issues people are having now like lag, etc... that they send updates regularly in hopes of resolving some issues like these.

When I had my LG G2 and G3... I don't remember ever getting software updates from the manufacturer or LG ever updating any of their apps. Don't know if it was even possible. I believe you just had to except when you got a new phone with the latest OS you were pretty much stuck with what you had until you got the next OS upgrade a year later.

That is one of my concerns about getting the Note 7 after using an iPhone for most of this year... I do like that Apple is able to and has been sending out updates all year. They don't just release iOS9 and then stuck with bugs until iOS10 and not at the mercy of the carriers to release it while have to live with bugs that could have been fixed months ago. iOS 9.3.5 just came out today with about a month before iOS 10 due for release.

Sorry to say, you must be in complete denial. Everyone knows Samsung's TouchWiz was even more horrendous prior to the s7.

Everyone? I must have missed the memo or someone forgot to tell my Note 2, 3 ,4 and 7 that everyone knows they are horrendous.

I'm still not seeing it take me to my previous post in the thread. It used to be that if I had read to post #123, the next time I logged in it would take me back there. Now it's only taking me to the first post of the first page.

I've watch a bunch of Galaxy reviews and haven't seen any lag. Only Flossy Carter's review mentions lag and he said that it is just occasional and definitely not "unbearable".

Then you don't know what lag is

Ensure to post any bugs in here - Site Feedback & Help - Android Forums at AndroidCentral.com. This way James can get the devs involved to know the issues .

So now everyone has this horrible lag?

I don't. I know that makes me a "fanboi" and whatnot, but I don't have the horrible lag. I have had maybe two brief hangups since I got the device, but it's been great otherwise.

Yeah the "horrible" lag isn't an issue for most users.

Lol go into airplane mode this is why I'm still reading Android forums for stuff like this. Thank you

There are always going to be complaints. I am not having issues.
