[Q] Updated to ANK4 - Now get UI Lag/Hangs - T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all,
I have done a lot of reading today and have not seen anyone report this issue. I updated to "N910TUVU1ANK4" following the instructions to a T. Over all I am impressed with the speed gain in areas such as the recent apps menu. However, I get a 1/2 to 1 second lag/hang on my interface every 3-4 seconds. This is very noticeable with typing/swiping/tapping.
I can reproduce the issue always by opening document and start deleting the hell out of it by holding the back space. It will hang every 3-4 seconds before continuing.
Another way to always reproduce is going to Settings > Sounds > Touch - and then repeatedly tapping the check box over and over. Again it will hang every 3-4 seconds before continuing.
I did a Nandroid backup restore to the previous build and the issue went away
I then redid the update, again following the instructions, but got the same results even with just the stock install.
Anyone know what might be causing this?
Thanks in advance

Factory reset your devices then download all of your apps again. Something in your app files is hanging up the system. Had the same issue on another device, a factory reset fixed it.

FRF91 update is buggy

After updating to FRF91, I notice two things.
1) My phone froze at least 3 times since the update when I tried to make a phone call. I had to remove the battery and restart it.
2) My calls are now less clear even with my blue-tooth. When I call someone, they and I will hear static. Sometimes the static is really bad. (no, I am not holding it the wrong way )
Anyone have similar issues?
My Nexus One is NOT rooted.
stock 2.1 to FRF50(manual install)->FRF83(manual install)->FRF91(OTA install)
No issues here. Clean install.
I would agree it seems buggy to me also; it could be the manual update path of updating, but im def getting some wonkyness.
When im on edge at my house, it always seems like WIFI is on demand and not connected (This differs from what my phone used to do and i also have wifi to never sleep); so when i try to access something intially i get a network error then the Wifi connects; then i connect even though im on edge which used to connect albeit slow.
A slight jerkiness when I longpress to remove widgets; don't remember that one previously.
Very erratic battery life; seems to be due to network switching from 3g to edge to wifi; can't really confirm that though; not real rogue apps on my device that are running, but who knows.
Car dock has been giving some force close issues from time to time which didn't really occur previously.
FRF83 more stable
I was thinking of trying to go back to FRF83 as that seems more stable.
I will first try to do a factory reset and see what happens after that.

let me know how that works out; I may do the same. Maybe go back and ota update.
I applied the full FRF85B when I did mine, and wiped cache / format user data from the boot loader. That cleared up issues.
gmail stopped working properly for me.
I have had some issues with my phone freezing up too but my trackball would still flash when i got alerts. I think it might be related to trackball alert because now that I have uninstalled it i haven't gotten any freezes.
I did the factory reset and I no longer have any problems. I am still waiting to see if my dialing still freezes randomly though.

I'm still on frf83 and found that flashing the frf91 gapps has somewhat reduced the freezes/reboots.
My XDA app freezes for a couple of seconds before it responds. Is this app up to date for frf91?

1. Going into Gmail it takes forever to display emails (usually shows the "loading icon" for 10-20 seconds) as if it is only then connecting to the server and downloading new/old emails.
2. Caller ID still does not keep settings when rebooting.
3. Task Managers don't actually seem to kill tasks anymore. Have tried multiple with settings to auto-kill 10 minutes after the screen goes off ... 5 hours later the programs are still running. Obviously just KILLS battery life.

Yeah, obviously, you're using auto-kill, it probably tries over and over and over when they don't actually close.
Stop using auto-kill. Even if it worked you will get less battery life by killing tasks. Read up about it. Only reason to EVER kill something is if it isn't acting nicely and has a bug that keeps using CPU or keeps the phone awake.
Factory Reset works almost all the time
If you got problems after update you should allways wipe (factory reset)

[Fix] Rebooting and Crashing

For those with Droid 3s that love to randomly reboot. and crash/lag
and also crash on camera, here is a fix
1) FACTORY RESET PHONE (Erase all data)
2) When its back up and your signing back in, DO NOT CHECK 'Restore Data' or 'Keep Device Backed up'
3) Open settings later, and ensure they're both unchecked under Privacy
NEVER enable them
4) For safety incase wifi settings were restored:
Go to Wireless and Networks, Wifi Settings, Manage Network Settings, tap first option and itll say 'forget or erase wifi settings' , choose Yes
5) Reboot Phone
*If camera is still not up to your standards, use Camera360 from market.
Should be all fixed up, no more reboots or crashes, and fast.
I guess its a temporary fix until Moto serves an update.
Sucks if you rely on backup to get your apps back, but Titanium Backup is a nice app to backup settings/apps
I have random reboots also, but the strangest thing is that when I shut the phone off I can put it in my pocket or on a table and it will turn itself back on. Was wondering if this would help this as well?
Is it being charged when it turns back on?
Nothing is pressing the power button right
Not sure of your issue would be fixed by this you can try

nothing pressing power button. will try and let u now what happens.
Hey Guys,
I know this thread is ancient, but I couldn't find anything newer on that topic.
I'm having the random reboot issue since a while now and wondered if you could help me piece together what I've got.
I managed to find a way to provoke the reboots and that is by flooding the RAM. I opened up some random apps (doesn't seem to matter which ones, as long as they consume a lot of RAM) and it crashed rather quickly. I also managed to get a Logcat of that, but it seems pretty normal.
I attached the Logcat-Log of the last 15 sec before the crash.
But sometimes there are reboots that happen when I don't have anything intense running.
Also sometimes (often when I am using rather intense apps) the phone gets stuck with the screen turned off and it essentially acts like dead until I do a battery pull. Sometimes when it does that, it just reboots on its own after a minute or two. That could be what Cglocke might have been experiencing.
I am running an XT860 with System version 5.2.476.XT860.BellMobility.en.CA and Android Version 2.3.6
Does anybody have any ideas on that topic?

[Q] Note 3 screen wont turn off

As stated, screen will not go off via timeout or power button tap. Power button is recognized and will bring up shut down menu like normal.
Device is rooted (thanks DG) and had been running well for over a week. Defrosted all apps from tibu in case I got over zealous but no better. A factory reset has not cleared it up either. Hoping the oneclick from the root package will correct the issue, but thats not until I get home later this evening.
Has anyone experienced / recovered from this issue?
Smart stay is turned off
I've had noticeable lag like a few seconds and sometimes I wonder if it's going to shut off but it always does. Better set a dark lock screen wallpaper to conserve your battery

I know this is kind of basic, but what is your setting here:

Thanks for the thoughts.
I had already gone through the standard - double check the settings, remove recent apps. When all that failed and a factory reset still didn't clear it up I was beginning to worry about some kind of hardware damage (don't see how since I treat it better than my child ).
Fortunately the one click from the root seems to have restored proper operation. Back to rooting and rebuilding!

I'm having the same problem, I rooted through vroot.... what do you mean one click fixed it little my incite would be helpful....
thank you
Mine just did this, scared the hell out of me It also didn't go into deep sleep before it started. (Not rooted).
Pulled the battery, waited 30 seconds, plugged it back in.... same thing. Waited a few minutes, seems to have sorted itself out.
Scary....
This is definitely a software bug and it is related to the Headphone detection bug that people are having too (it's actually the same bug causing both issues). This happens to me quite often after I restart my phone. It's kind of like the phone hangs during the startup process. I've also noticed that the wifi/bluetooth status that was present before restarting the phone (i.e. whether they on/off) doesn't get applied until the bug sorts itself out.
For me sometimes this works: open an app like Chrome and then hit the home button to get back to your launcher. This works 95% of the time for me. I'm wondering if it has something to do with not having Touchwiz set as the default launcher.
I'm experiencing this same problem. If I don't manually turn the screen off by tapping the power button, the screen will not timeout.

Occasional app freezes since last upate

I am now experiencing occasional freezes while in some apps and also when in the system settings. This just started with the Oct security update. Trying to move ahead in the app or back out does not work. Sometimes hitting the icon to show all open apps will work and I can close all. Other times i have to hit the start/shutdown button in the back briefly to unfreeze the phone. Anyone else experiencing this?
No issues for me... but I've used adb to debloat my device, which *could* be making a difference...
If you can repeat the steps that consistently result in a 'freeze', you could start a logcat prior and close after, it may point to what's causing the problem.
That's the problem. It is random.

Performance and app problems ? U.S. Version...

I am finding that my apps that send notifications, specifically that I send through LIghtflow, are either not notifying, or doing so 30 min. to an hour late.
I am also finding that installing as well as uninstalling apps are quite slow.
POwer saver is not on; battery optimization is not on for the offending apps; they are set to run in the background.
Anyone else experiencing this? Or any suggestions?
Regarding the slow downloads, I am finding the download finishes (according to the status bars, etc), but it then goes into a state of Install Pending. Can't find anything on that.
For anyone who cares, I have it resolved for the time being.
After 2 factory resets, I remembered back to the days i used to root my phones, and remembered that one strongly recommended task in that process was to delete cache.
So I did a final factory reset and deleted the cache also and all seems to be good.
When this crops up again I will try the cache delete w/o a factory reset and see how it goes.
Not getting much help here but I'll keep this thread upgraded.
It is again not working right. Lightroom is either not notifying or it's doing it 30 minutes late.
Play store downloads but then doesn't install for a period of time.
I'm beginning to think something is wrong with the phone.
This thing is driving me nuts. Following is what's going on, and have seen:
I've gone through 4 factory resets. All works find at first. Having decided that maybe there is an app interfering, I installed an app or two, tested, repeat...with delays between repeats. All seems fine.
But then late into the second day, w/o any installs, I goes haywire again. Symptoms are:
I use DGT GTD for my ToDo list. First thing I will notice is that when I add a new task, it will NOT show up in the widget list, and at the same time it stops notifications.
All apps stop sending notifications to Lightflow...or LIghtflow does not recognize the notifications. Not sure which is the case.
When add a new app on the Play Store, it downloads as quick as normal, but then it takes forever to install.​
I installed AVAST, and checked for viruses. Came back clean.
I suspect it could be a phone problem. My Mate 9 works fine right now, with all the same apps. But, when a factory reset results in it working (at least during the short time a tech would evaluate), the phone can't be exchanged.
If anyone has any thoughts. I'm all ears. I'll keep posting, hopefully, ultimately, with a resolution. Maybe it'll help someone.
