New to Samsung; is this Note 7 "lag" a real issue?

[rushmore]

Details on this? Whats the webview process? Ive done everything I could ever think of and still getting bad lag

It's part of the Samsung updates. One poster mentioned this in the forum, but can't recall who.

My store only had a demo - not a fully functioning phone... :-(

However, my replacement is absolutely awesome! No lag here...

Glad you are enjoying yours. It is a great device even with all the bad press it got. Currently nothing out like it with what it has to offer.

So I may try to return this phone due to the lag and see if a new one is better. FDR not helping. Will samsung do an exchange for something like lag?

I got a taste of truly how fast this phone CAN be this morning. For about an hour it was perfect. Then it was back to stuttering and being super slow. Now that I know how amazing it is to use when running properly I want it to be like that for good.

Well I'm on my second N7 now and still don't experience any of these issues!

They will! Try again man - call 800 #, say customer service, phone not working to get to advanced tech support. They most definitely will remote into your phone. They've done it twice for me before they found the problem and fixed the issue. Android System WebView is what my support person forced an update on . Immediatley saw the fluidity come back and Android OS went down 10% in the battery usage graph. She mentioned the occulous thing too but it wasn't on my phone. Night and day, trust me. My ram now happily sits at 1.5gb instead of down in the 700s with nothing open in background. Also, go into play store and make sure all your apps have updatedd. Facebook is apparently killing memory pre-update. Good luck!

Ill try again. Do you remember how they updated web view? Would prefer to do it myself

Just found web view in package disabler. Going to disable and see what happens

 

[Daiz4yota]

Do I even need this thing (web view)? I may just leave it off unless its absolutely necessary

 

[Daiz4yota]

Can someone please tell me what webview actually does? Google is not very helpful. Ive had it deactivated since yesterday and I think it may have fixed my lag issues

It helps apps open web pages inside the app instead of opening external browser. You can definitely leave it disabled but you may see buggy issues with some apps. You can always turn it back on but id let the service ppl log in and try the update. Mine showed as up to date in play store but it was apparently not. Att doesn't care what's on your phone btw if you're nervous about letting them remote in. Hah. They don't make enough $ to care. Also, try enabling Force GPU Rendering in developer options. I dont have this checked on my phone but it'll make your phone a little quicker for image heavy apps and games with a little sacrifice of battery life. Like I mentioned earlier, after the WebView fix, I haven't needed to turn off animations or do anything else to keep it fast.

Yea I dont feel like arguing with ATT to fix this issue. Whatever it was doing, it hasnt caused a single issue in 12 hours and ive used every app I ever use. Ill just leave it off. Just did force GPU rendering, thanks for that. With those two things done its def blazing fast. Hopefully it stays this way.

For lag issues try checking under device manager and then running services to see what is using ram and processor on your device.
