Note 7 - This lag is unfreakingbelievable

[crystinonfire]

I used smart switch but selectively - Didn't want to bring a bunch of old just (advice from old itunes days..ha) Really just wanted an easy way to get the text messages over to the new phone. I'm on At&t and still have my Note 5 here if anyone would like me to test anything specifically. BTW, i'm already getting a buyers remorse replacement sent out as the rep thought I got a bad device. I call BS but we'll see..

This is why you're having problems. Set up as a new device and do not import anything from your saved google account or smartswitch. All should be well after that. Happened to me. I said that I had a lag, everyone said I was trolling or an apple fan, or just crazy. Um, no, some phones clearly perform differently than others. My phone was very laggy. I reset it, it was still laggy. Per Kelly Kearns, I reset it and DID NOT import anything or use smart switch, lo and behold my phone no longer lags.

Hmm.. Trouble is google has all my contacts that i'd rather not input manually and I would like to import all of my texts since they are all relevant to my job. Seems logical that I wouldn't want to import system settings as that may screw with things but I wouldn't think syncing google (which will happen when you sign in btw) would have a bad effect. Did you still sign into google after the phone was up and running? I'm good with installing apps manually but do you think importing texts could have an impact of the phones performance? I'm definitely going to try it out - thanks for the suggestion!

You don't need to import them. Your phone will sync your contacts from Google when you log into your Google account.

Theoretically, text should be fine.. But..

Yes, I still signed into google, so my contacts and calendar synced in the background. But I installed my apps manually, and I also transferred music and photos over via my laptop. The only thing I did import from my old phone was my Nova Launcher settings.

Fingers crossed, thanks for the info!

Getting severe lag with google maps. Its ridiculous. My iPhone 6 was like butter in when it loaded and navigated. This thing is so choppy its almost unusable.

 

[Daiz4yota]

Sad because I'm in love with this phone. Its basically what I patiently waited for apple to make after 8 years of iOS. Its amazing. Just the lag is killing me.

Pretty cool speed test video comparing the 2 different versions of the note 7. Both are pretty slow... https://youtu.be/oA3krlF6_TI

Is it me or did this guy just skip over the time at the end so you couldn't see what the difference was? These test drive me crazy. This isn't a real world test by any means. I have a 6s plus and n7 and sometimes the iPhone opens apps faster and sometimes the n7 will. Just depends on the app and what the task is. I don't play games on my phone, so maybe that could be an issue. The phone has been very smooth for me and no issues or lag. If something does have a hiccup here or there I think it is from the app itself not the phone. I've also been getting great battery life too.

Ok, so it looks like his exynos said 2:52 which is slower then the 820 then he goes on to say how his exynos is faster. Funny. I guess he edited so you could barely see the time and didn't say what it was.

The one on the right was exynos, and got 2:30, the one on the left was snapdragon, and got 2:52. If he didn't want you to see it then it wouldn't have been much effort to not put it in a video of which you can pause and rewind as you like, and he also said the snapdragon got 2:52.

You are right, I misheard which he said was which.

My biggest stutter problem is unlocking the screen with my fingerprint. It's a little better with the iris scanner, but not that much. I'm probably one of the few people who acutally like the animations, as long as they're working smoothly. For the most part, scrolling, and opening most apps are fine, it's just every once in awhile, it stutters. This is why I'm hesitant to call Samsung or exchange it.

I remember playing with a N7 at Best Buy before launch and remember it lagging and stuttering pretty bad then. I thought it was because it was a display unit, and a lot of people messing with it. The issue is really inconsistent, pretty much like Android was in the past. Sometimes it's really bad, sometimes not. I just want an update.

If they don't update it by the time the new Google phones (rumored former Nexus phones) come out, I'll just buy one of those and sell it, like I've done in the past. I may even try the Iphone 7, depending on how it is.

I just got the Note 7 as well and am surprised how laggy it seems at times. The Note 7 is certainly snappier than my old Note 2 which I still use for some games; but given the 4 year difference in technology I expected more. One of my friends has the Nexus 6p and I spent a lot of time playing with it before moving back to Android from Windows Phone. I never noticed any real lag with his 6P and he has lots more apps running on his than I do on my Note 7. Coming from Windows phone I had gotten used to not having a lot of apps so I haven't loaded my phone up yet. Hopefully software updates will help improve things.

Settings>Applications>Application Manager>3 Dots menu>show system apps>scroll to Briefing>press Briefing>press disable

Or you can long press your home screen scroll to the far left screen where briefing screen is and slide to disable it.

Same here. My note 7 is running smooth . Just switched from iPhone 6s.

That just turns it off. Doesn't disable it. I still got Briefing notifications after turning it off until I disabled it in settings.

Obviously some users are subjected to intolerable lag. But before I thought about even beginning to try the suggested remedies I would do 2 elementary things.

(1) A factory reset, and

(2) No Smart Switch.

Only, then, would I begin to refine my strategies.

PS... I prefer TouchWiz myself but in my experience Nova is a faster launcher. Also the Facebook app can do terrible things to a phone.

My 2 cents which is far from definitive.

FYI, phones are being replaced. Samsung announced a worldwide recall today.

All of them will be replaced? Even if I had no issues?
