I've noticed the same thing, I think it might be a bug in the stock FireOS. Wifi gets real slow after the tablet has been in sleep and requires a reboot or turning the wifi off then back on again as temporary fix. I've tried CM and SlimLP roms and haven't had the issue in either.

Well i made the noob mistake of updating when i got it, so i cant use a diffrent rom until they root 5.1.1, i sure hope that happens soon

Phone goes crazy when (I guess) overheated

Hi guys, I have annoying probnlem with my LG 4x... When I work little bit longer on my phone, it just starts to behave crazy. Screen starts to "touch himself" I just look at it and he starts to get in menus, opening pictures, closing apps, opening new ones... I just lock screen for 10 secs and than everything is fine for few minutes. Than same thing again. This happens with every ROM and every karnel I try til now. Works fine only with stock. I'm now on Beanstalk 4.4 and iodak 9.95. Thanks!!!

Its a weird issue, are you sure it works fine on stock? because it sounds like a digitizer issue to me (rather than software, since the rest of us dont have this issue)
im not sure where to begin lol, can you pull some logs? (dmesg and logcat)
Oh.. and I guessed it was only me.
I have this problem too, works fine with stock but it goes crazy with custom rom.
Any idea ?

Sorry for a late answer, I was in my night shift. I hope that's it. One more thing...my cpu temperature when this happens is around 50°C...is that normal temp???

No worries, nothing out of the ordinary in the logs, its looking more like hardware(hopefully im wrong). It might be worth testing a stock rom under the same conditions again, if there is no issue, then theres something weird going on. btw 50c is fine temp for cpu, around 75c is the limit.
Can you get a screen recording of it? (most 4.4 based roms have this functionality built in) this could be helpful also https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ds.cpuoverlay

I don't know why, but every time I tried to record screen, phone just reboots. I tried with various apps, every time same thing. I cant find built in app in beanstalk 4.4. I'll try stock again but cant before tomorow. Thank you for your time
Use beanstalk with grouper blobs, and press vol up and power simultaneously to record

[Q] Droppings calls. Lots. Argh.

Hello!
I'm running Beanstalk 4.4 and the latest Meeow kernel. My phone works well (mostly) and has great battery life. It also drops calls ALL the time. Like all the time between 5s and 2mins.
I also have a problem whereby the screen is kinda screwed for touch. Like a touch is already registered and stuck on rendering the phone useless until a reboot. Probably not related. Can live with that even.
But the call dropping is way bad. I've installed ROM from fresh and tried latest kernels. Don't really notice when it started.
Any one have ideas pls? Thanks!

so it s Bug of this custom ROM and u should ask to solve from its developers.
if u wanna check ur hardware is fine u must back to stock ROM or install trustful & famous rom like CyanogenMod & etc
if ur phone works fine with them so previous rom wasn't good enough

Well! I have been using this rom for 4 days! No problems at all! I dont use GPS and 4G but I usually play games,watch youtube videos and browse web! I like that rom! The only disappointig that am having with this 4.4.4 is the old thouchwiz!! Try to wipe data and factory reset! Or root our phone and install Grennify to kill running apps!

i did, i will see how it works now
I have been using this for a time now...
And had no problems with it.... even with Power Saving Mode all on... (yes i never use the full 1400mhz, so 1000 is enough for my PSX games)
My only complain is that the baseband is mostly bad for my country as the signal is a little low than usual.....

Help me please

From 2 months I am trying to make roms for ubl work on my phone,but they just don't. I have a super slow phone when I install them, very unresponsive touchscreen... Please I have no more things I can try. In these two months I tried everything. Locked bootloader roms are better, but they still aren't that smooth and after a few hours I need to restart the phone, because I get unresponsive touchscreen again. I really want kitkat on my phone, because stock sucks too much with so low ram. I beg you guys for help. I am exhausted of trying and trying

Please calm down and don't spam the forum with copy paste posts everywhere as it won't get you anywhere.
Regarding your problem, if you think LBL roms are better then why don't you stick with them as they are equivalent to UBL roms in every aspect. I am on MrSteve555 M12 and can say it is smooth as silk, so what's all the fuss about?

Cm11 is overall good, but all roms have a little lag when pulling down notification drawer. It is not stutter it is lag that you can see it... Hmm any fix?

Never seen this lag in the slightest.
I also have lag in the menu in the ui. Maybe it is from my phone? It is a little noticeable lag. Phone is working alright with 4.3, but with 4.4 it sucks

Ive run PA, Omni, PAC and CM11 and none of them have lag on quick settings or settings once the ROMs 'settled in' which is usually a few hours after install when everythings run and updated and synced fully. Is this lag happening for you on a clean phone with minimal gapps and no other apps installed?

Yes. I don't have any luck with phones. I am very sensitive to lag and I'm stuck with this phone 1 year more- good hardware- ****ty software. I like the phone, but no the software.

Use a small gapps package. It does wonders, as long as you do the following steps in the correct order:
1. Format /system.
2. Wipe data, cache and dalvik cache.
3. Install ROM.
4. Install Gapps.
5. Reboot and leave the phone alone for at least half an hour.
6. Run through set-up (if required)
7. Leave phone alone for another hour.
8. Enjoy.
Google Search seems to be a big problem for performance, even on Nexus phones. The easiest is to get a package which does not include it (Velvet.apk it is called, and it is found in /system/priv-app).
I recommend Paranoid Android's 'pico' gapps. Google it to find the post on XDA by TKruzze.

I will do the formula you told me. I will flash stock .ftf then I won't boot the phone and I will flash williams kernel v7 just to get recovery. I will start the phone and go in to recovery. I will do the formula you told me with cm11 build by mr. Steve and I will hope the formula will work

I remember running LagFix off of the Google Play Store. Someone recommended it to me. What it does is it enables TRIM on your /system, /data, and /cache partition, which, in theory should work and improve performance two-fold. It applies to the SP, which uses NAND flash to store these partitions and therefore would suffer from the afore mentioned symptom.

Don't worry if the CyanogenMod set-up app is REALLY slow, crashes, or skips steps, it happens to everyone, because the cache rebuild hasn't begun yet.

Try MrSteve build, if it fails then I guess it's a hardware issue
Sent from my Xperia SP using XDA Free mobile app
I sort of think that it is all with your mind. If you like, would you share a video showing the "lag" you've mentioned in those mentioned areas (notification sliding lag, settings lag) if you are currently running CM11. I would like to actually see it.
I would like to see a video recording of your phone by using another camera, not a screen recording or cast directly from your ROM.
With your video, people will finally could see how the "lag" is and decide if it is the normal lag, or supposedly a problem of your phone.
About touch screen sensitivity, I was unable to find a thread about the same problem (the one before you started a solution thread). I've searched like mad through the General forum. It contains a build.prop modification fix. If you could get me a link to it, gosh I would appreciate it so much and will show you to the right direction

I will try the formula. If it doesn't work I will try to film a video. Maybe it is a hardware issue, because when installing apps wtih 4.3 rom phone laggs a lot and on 4.4 does the same, but the lag is much lower when installing apps

Have you tried LagFix yet? Run it and see what happens.
Plus don't use themes unless you wipe your cache afterwards: the theme modifies SystemUI.apk and therefore the cache file is incorrect.

Phone worthless when hooked to the watch...

I have a Note 4, with Maximumn Overdrive MM ROM. I have considered it a relatively good performer, given the age of the phonem, and the large number of apps installed.
This isn't 100% of the time, but a lot: I am finding that it not only lags horribly, but it actually freezes up. Today, I was trying to look up something on Maps, and I just couldn't use it.
I turned off BT, and it started working fine.
Do I just need to get a newer phone (well, I do want to do that)? But it seems to me it shouldn't hit it this hard.
Anyone running a Note 4 with the Zenwatch 3?
Thoughts?

Try Odin flashing stock firmware...
Most likely it will solve the issue you are having.
I have a S7 Edge phone and my watch works perfectly.
Right now I am Chrome Casting to TV, downloading a
new rom as well as reading new posts here and I have
both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth enabled all the time.
I get no lag at all.
Good luck and have a great day.

I may give it a try. Reloading my phone is a large task, so many apps and data.
Would be interesting to hear if anyone wiht a Note 4 is working well with the watch.
Why not try a full os reset before going back to stock?
I tried stock. Not much help.
I have since reloaded the ROM, after doing 3 wipes, and is doing much better.

I think you answered your own question.
When I have odd things happening that I can't figure out I just do it the methodical way: Reset the phone and slowly add apps until I find the culprit.
