Note 5 vs Tab S2 - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I have both Note 5 and Tab S2 and its bugging me how smooth apps are on my Tab S2 compare to my Note 5. Every app on the Tab S2 is buttery smooth with no lag but you can see apps like Google plus choppy while scrolling on the Note 5. Not to mention that note 5 suffers from many issues that my Tab S2 doesn't such as deep sleep issue and the freezing for 10s from time to time
What is the reason behind this? Do tablet team code better than mobile team on Samsung ?
Tabs S2 uses exynos 5 while note 5 is exynos 7.

Hard reset will not do anything. I'm even using art97 kernel with no luck. Try Tab S2 and you will feel the differance.

I wonder why that is. My Note 5 is laggy even after a factory reset. Maybe some of us just have lemons? Who knows. You sure its not just because the Tab S 2 is newer perhaps?

I have both devices too, and you are right, the tab s2 is silky smooth without ant tweaks but my note5 no matter what tweak i applied still have lags from time to time!

[Q] Galaxy Note N7000 VS. Galaxy Nexus GSM

I have a Galaxy Note and Galaxy Nexus GSM.
I have been running the Stunner 4.5 ROM for the Galaxy Note for the last day.
I don't know why, but I still find the Galaxy Nexus GSM a little smoother. I also ran the Antutu Benchmark and the Galaxy Nexus scores about 1.5K higher. Does anyone have any idea on how to fix this? I know that the Galaxy Note has a Better, Faster CPU and a Faster GPU. So, I don't know why this is happening.
(Probably because the OS is better on the Galaxy Nexus? (Or is it just because the Note has such a huge screen it has a problem pushing the power to the screen)?
I was just wondering if anyone had any idea.
Thanks!
Also, I found out that when you touch the screen on the Galaxy Nexus and the Galaxy Note at the same time, the Galaxy Nexus seems to respond a little quicker.
Is it something with the display? It's like comparing a Rear Projection TV to a Plasma. The Plasma has a little more lag.

Is the Galaxy Note 4 your first Samsung phone? (poll)

I am buying a Galaxy Note 4 on Friday. This will be my first ever Samsung phone.
I've previously avoided them due to the extra software, but this time around the combination of hardware was just too much. I really like phones that feature capacitive buttons because I think it's much more efficient, and that really reduces the number of high end flagship phones a lot.
I wish the phone were slightly smaller, but I'll manage.
What about the rest of you? Is this is your first Samsung phone? (poll in thread, please vote)
Not my first, just upgraded from S4 GT-i9506. Picked up my new Note 4 today and I'm already loving it
I've stuck with samsung as I think keeping SDCard support, unlocked bootloader (although now with the new KNOX it voids warranty) and replaceable battery are worth the extra (albeit small due to my carrier) bloatware added to their devices and all the bloat can be removed (depending on your carrier).
Previously I had the Galaxy 5 (not the S5) and the Galaxy S3
No, moved on from GS3. Won't be rooting it for at least a year I guess so don't care about knox counter, most unwanted bloatware can be disabled unlike the GS3 at the beginning, so yeah, having fun with N4 so far.
I've seen the light. Ditching my iphone. I just want the freedom of android and the superior hardware of the Note.
From Samsung Galaxy S2 which was my first smartphone to Samsung Galaxy note 4.
There is something about Samsung electronics as a whole that appeal to me.
My TV is a sammy and my next one will be as well...
SIII was my first Samsung phone
I got an S2 around the time the S4 came out. Untill now i really liked my s2's screen as the colours and blacks were a lot better compared to other phones like iphone and most lcd screens
now i finally got my note 4 and every morning when i wake up i'm like wow its amazing
Its the first one i actually paid myself so its a yes and a no to me
Had a tmobile camera samsung phone back in 2001 or 2002. Then had numerous other phones. And the Galaxy S1, Note 2, Note 4.
Nope had Samsung Epic 4G before.

No, I had a S2, S3 and have a Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014) besides my new Note 4.
I'm not a Samsung fanboy though, I really hate their update politics and I'm not a fan of their bloatware. Touchwiz is okay though.
On the other hand I like their hardware and of course the stylus that comes along with the Note series.
The Samsung service in Germany is also pretty good.
First Samsung phone, yes, but I have Note 10.1 tablet and it's quite great even for his age. I wrote hundreds of pages on it.
It's not my first Samsung, but it is my first note. my first Samsung was the Reality u820
Nope, I had a Galaxy s2 first then a Galaxy s4 after that, both phones lasted perfectly until upgrade time, including great battery life and Android updates.
First smartphone was a nokia n8.?
later i had a HTC Desire and HTC one x
I wanted a fast phone with sd and removable battery and choose for note 4
I like it very much and it's my best and fastest phone ever

Started with the Captive -> S2 -> Note 1, S3, Note3, S4, and now Note 4
Nope, upgraded from my GS4 32GB I9500 3weeks ago to my metal beauty Note 4
Also had S2 16GB and S3 32GB, so its in no way my 1st Samsung, and if the Note 5 is even better than this awesome thing then I wont be leaving Samsung anytime soon.
HTC WFS - Nexus 4 - Nexus 5 - Note 4
Ive had the S2, S3, S4, Note 3 and Note 4. S3 being the weakest link, Note 4 being the strongest.
Just never liked the design on the S3 in comparison to the others. Too organic for my taste. Like the Nexus 6.

You would think they will "Try" to satisfy us with 5.1.1 but no!

Installed 5.1.1 on my 910C thinking It will fix everything at least not asking for extra features but I was so appointed. The phone STILL vulnerable to "Stagefright" I don't know what does this update include but it seems like everything is same as before. Picture takes 3-4 sec to show after shooting, performance is sh!t compare to my Tab S2 which has the same processor but the note 4 lags like hell. Its great to note that its a fresh installation not just an upgrade over odin and root doesn't work anymore. Guess have to wait!
Thought I will share what I found so far. Will update after all apps done installation to see if anything changes.
Update:
Recent app very fast
Antutu score 46k
Ram used 1.4GB
Root doesn't work

thats what i hate about samsung.
late update.
no new features
no 64bit support
treating s6 and s6 edge like they are only flagships. :/
Im very satisfied with the update for now. Performance is excellent. I prefer this update rather than a fail software like they give for s6.

I would love to show you the performance of the Tab S2 which has the same internal. I'm pretty sure you will change your opinion after that.

S6 scores 70k on Antutu and its launcher fly compare the note 4. I used to have the S6 and its much much faster than note 4
i believe s6 will get marshmallow in 3 months of 6.0 release so maybe they can solve issues plaguing s6 and s6 edge like lags and battery.
while note 4 was always maybe most hated device from them since its launch.
imagine 5.1.1 a small update from 5.0.1 took 4 months :/
marshmallow is just dream to get before march 2016.

nope. and im sure antutu score is totaly wrong 10k cpu score is just joke and no other cpu benchmark supports it. and i have s6 edge atm and note 4 exynos both are almost same for me on everything app opening browsing etc. and s6 edge has has worst multitasking experience ever. i still think note 4 software is way better.
ps:i use nova launcher on both

I have been using both of them for 4 months and you probably never used it for a long period. While you are defending a device that you dont even use its making me headaches with its bull**** multitasking everyday.

Surprisingly no. This is the first thing i checked after I saw that the Tabs S2 is very very smooth compare to my note 4. I had a high hope that they figured out how to optimize the internal and will see the same on the note 4 soon, but that wasn't the case. I think note 4 need its software to be recreated or Android M will fix it.
At least you guys have 5.1.1 lol all of the N910F users (like me) are just going to sit and cry haha

All I gotta say is the note4 multitasks better, rather switches apps faster and better. The ram management on the s6/edge/nope5/edge can suck it.

Compared to a SD810 Note 4 you might be right. Exynos 5433 and 7420 are very close in terms of CPU, the real difference between the two is the GPU power.

The Note series has a different developer team than the S-series, and they're way better. You can expect the Note 5 FW to be better than the S6's.

In Note 4, the lag is unbearable while in Note 5, lag is rare!

Samsung Galaxy Note 8 rom for Note 3

Now that the much anticipated Samsung device was launched and because we've had in the past Note 3 to Note 5 and Note 3 to Note 7 ported roms, will this Note 3 to Note 8 be possible? I surely hope so bc this would bring a sense of fresh air into my Note 7 AHEM Note 3 xD

Maybe better to ask this in the Galaxy Note 3 forum Dev's here won't be porting it to a Note 3.
But an answer to your question, Yes it sure will be possible. providing the Note 3 dev's have not left you to buy the Note 8
I'm sure someone will get to work on it as soon as the system dump is available shortly after release day.

i just waiting just like you for that new.rom
Actually, believe it or not I'm missing Action memo and personally liked old S-note much better. And frankly I don't see much software difference between N7 and N8, so you may be little disappointed.
two simple ways to do this.
1. Download the rom from: www.note8roms/downloads/note3/bootloaderunlocker/simfreeunlocktool
2. Go buy a Note 8
Edit: I just realized you dont need step 1 after all
