Note Taking Lag with s-pen? - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers

I just got the Note9 512 8gb version. When taking notes I get an annoying lag or delay. Is this normal? I thought it would be super smoother. Also the delay time varies a bit too. Its like sometimes letters I write show up late and I'm already on the next letter. You have this happening? Especially when writing fast
I rebooted and cleared cache in storage maintenance. Thanks for feedback.
EDIT: I FOUND OUT THE ISSUE - GO TO PAGE 2

On the Note8, there was ZERO lag when writing. I write constantly on here and have never seen lag once. So I doubt that's normal on the Note9.

Damn! I mean Good! I mean damn my phone has lag taking handwritten notes :/ I wonder if its another feature that is turned on or another app interfering. But I havent installed much....

I've taken loads of notes in the week or so that I've had the Note 9 and never noticed any sort of lag whatsoever.

I did online support with Samsung.... we factory reset and I believe it fixed the problem. I still have to do a full restore though... hope it doesn't come back!

After my restore... the lag is back. ITs back :/ and I'm not sure if changing phones would help

It is not lag. It is called input latency. And the people claiming there is no latency on note 8 or 9 need to watch closer and see some demos of input latency. I skipped the Note 8 for this among other reasons. If I had to guess the input latency is about 15ms ±5ms. Pretty damn good. If you write fast you're going to notice it more.
Lag, latency, stuttering and frame drops are all completely different things. People are just using adjectives to describe their experience when things are more technical. It is kind of like many people don't understand lower case and upper case B's when talking about megabits and megabytes per second or giga-. Latency is a big deal for online gaming and steam link. That is why the hard core gamers will use Ethernet instead of wifi for gaming and the same for steam link. That 40-100ms or even more saved is a huge deal. It is obvious when you use steam link over WiFi and then go to Ethernet.
As far as the OP I don't know if you have a legitimate case of input latency or your expectations are too high. As I mentioned there are many videos to show input latency. I believe Microsoft has one of the better ones with a demonstration board that can dial in the input latency demonstrating over 100ms, ~50, 10 and 1ms. When under 10ms starts happening on every phone is when it really becomes game changing for not just flagship owners but people across the world that use these marvellous mobile devices. iOS used to much smoother for years than Android but input latency was still a thing. Now iOS and Android are competing head to head as far as latency, scrolling, frame drops and lag. It has become something Apple could not ignore anymore even though their SOC has been more powerful than Qualcomm and Samsung the last couple of years. All that power and it was dropping frames, scrolling janky, and input latency was noticeable despite their claims. Features have been put aside for iOS12 and focus has been put on performance. As you can see Samsung did this with Oreo and the Note9. The note 4 input latency was horrible but the phone was still ahead of it's time.

After we did the factory reset it worked perfect, I could not replicate the delay I am complaining about.... if it was what you are saying, wouldn't I see it all the time? I could not recreate the issue at first, only till after I did a restore of my data did the problem come back. If I handwrite... sometimes its a one letter delay.. or even 2 letters will appear after I write or once in a while 4 letters!! so that is like a stutter.

Have you tried clearing the cache data in the storage maintenance menu? That might help

Note 9 factory software is lagging much than s9+.
Hope samsung will resolve lag issues soon

Yea I tried that and also factory reset. Like I said... after reset I couldn't recreate the problem until I restored some of my backup. OR it may only seem to happen in certain note views... as far as I know there are 2 view screens ... it seems to have less 'lag' in creating new note right away. The edit screen with the default lines on the "paper" the view is a bit different and that is where I get the most lag it seems when I write.

So I just got my replacement. Before I did my restore I tried notes. I was SOOOOO relieved as note writing was perfect... no lag.. no delay.. I could write smooth.. awesome!!!! BUT . I did my restore and my problem is back! What the hell is going on? ^%$ . So now I will factory reset, AGAIN, and just build up my phone without a restore :/ and see if I can get around this problem. Will report back.

I found the problem! And reported it to Samsung. Can you recreate this issue on your phones?
So my backup settings had option for Accessibility > Vision > Magnification > Triple Tap Screen to magnify if this is turned on = I get wicked lag while writing notes. Its not that I am triple tapping getting a bigger size either. Just something with the gestures while writing is interfering with Accessibility Magnification settings. Turn the setting off and all is good.
Can anybody confirm?

Samsung 9 is not available in my country right now. Hope this will available soon, I am waiting :cyclops::cyclops::cyclops:

The problem is that you are importing your notes made using the old S Note app onto the new Samsung Notes app. There appears to be a compatibility issue between the two. Which Samsung never addressed.

No I fixed my particular problem ! I explained above. It has to do with the Accessibility > vision > tripple tap magnifier interferes with notes if turn on. Doesn't matter if its an old note app or new note being created. I thought something like you at first, but no my issue is this bug. And it is a bug. Turn on "Triple Tap" on your phone and create notes and report back to me how crappy it feels .

Just tried it. I can't seem to replicate your issue

Note 9 you turned on triple tap magnifying? Your new notes are all smooth? Weird I have 2 notes in front of me today .. both factory reset and I can recreate the issue. Both are the 8 GB 512 version unlocked us phone.

Guess it must be a bug that affects the US variant. As I am using my company's Exynos variant and everything is super smooth.

I just recreated the issue on my new S4 I got from Korea. So that is 3 devices I tested on. Try turning on tripple tap mag. Then write a note writing fast.. example try. The word THIS lot. The IS will ghost and delay thus screwing up brain to write neater etc.

[Q] Xperia T niggles list...

Hi all,
I've had my T for a week now after upgrading from an iPhone4. Originally I was eyeing up the 5 and the S3 then I spotted this little underdog that I hadn't even heard anything about. After scouting around for reviews it grew on me and after seeing it in the flesh I was sold and managed to get the last one in the Vodafone store.
I've never had an Android phone before, so I was a bit wary, but so far it is pretty much everything I expected it to be and I am really happy with it...
But I have spotted a few niggles and I'm wondering if other users have had noticed similar issues?
1) Auto brightness seems to jump around randomly at time and makes the phone look like either a. it's struggling to cope with what it's handling or b. it hasn't been implemented right and for some reason jumps between levels instead of smoothly raising or lowering the brightness. This doesn't happen all the time, mostly on the net, but I've also seen it while navigating the OS.
2) The camera is really slow to take any decent images. Quick launch boots to the camera pretty quickly but then it sits there trying to focus for the next few seconds and makes the quick launch seems pointless as it hangs fo so long after it has launched. Also any movement seems to blur the images pretty easily. Took pics of my 3 year old and my wife while we were bowling and even their arms moving as they walked back blurred!? The rest of the pic was great but it's not like they were running past the camera or anything.
3) When using Chrome does anyone else have it duplicate the last letter of every word you type? Alll off myy wordss weree lookingg likee thiss wheneverr II typedd anythingg. This wasn't happening anywhere else on the phone and after downloading FireFox I've got a decent browser, but I'm intrigued as to whether or not it was something I was doing?
4) Whenever I copy a video across I am only able to play 2-3 minutes of it even though it says that the file size is correct. All of my videos are .avi and whenever I try to copy them the phone my PC asks if I want to convert the files so that they are compatible with the phone. When I click yes my PC takes 45 min's-1hr to convert it and the file appears on my phone as a few hundred Mb but next to it the time dislpays 2-3 minutes duration. When you play it it cuts out at the 3 minute point. Is anyone else suffering this?
5) The storage capacity of the handset is only showing up as 10.8 Gb of which 1.08 is reserved space. Aren't these handsets meant to have 16Gb? Those figures are shown through the PC Companion and the settings tab on the phone.
So is anyone else experiencing the same niggles as above?
I still love the phone and I'm more than happy keeping it. I know some of the issues are down to my education but others definitely aren't and they'll end just being qwerks of the phone. If there's any way to resolve them then I'd be greatful to hear your solutions.
Cheers,
Stu.

That's 10.8GB for the data/storage partition. They left 2GB for app storage only. 13GB total after formatting + OS seems about right.
I have the duplicate letter/word, think it's a chrome thing.

I thought id ask this here..
Does anyone notice when playing back recorded videos on the device, there is a weird knocking / grinding sound while the lens is focusing?
I will upload a few videos, you can actually hear the device focusing, might be normal, but, it was never like this with my arc....its apparent on multiple set scenses, with both the UK Generic and UK O2 firmware.
I've not tested video recording yet, but the camera module is very close to the left microphone (the phone records in stereo). I am guessing you can hear camera noise on the left channel when playing back?

#1 try an app called Lux.
#4, try using MxPlayer, not the stock player... Also you don't have to convert the files.
#1, my Galaxy Note was the same until an update. Remember this is a brand new device and the software will get better with time. Apple don't get it right either but that may have been because you were holding it wrong

I'm using MX player and haven't had any problems regardless of what I throw at it (so far).
#5, a trick manufacturers use is to quote storage as 1000 bytes = 1kB, 1000kB = 1MB when the system reports actual memory based on 1024 bytes = 1kB, 1024kB = 1MB, etc so you get less reported than in the marketing specs.
Thanks for your input guys.
So far:
1) Autobrightness turned off and everything is good.
2) Still not too impressed with the camera. It takes too long to focus and do anything useful.
3) FireFox is still working perfectly compared to Chrome.
4) After deleting all the videos and copying them in from scratch, unconverted, they play perfectly with MX Player.
5) The memory thing makes sense but its a poor sales tactuc on the manufacturers part. In reality the customer is only concerned with how much useable memory a device has where in reality the Xperia T has a third less than you would expect. 1-2gb wouldnt be as bad but thus is over 5gb difference!!
Thanks again guys.
Noticed the camera lag seem slow when taking the pictures but whenever I look back on them they don't seem blurred.
So far I reckon Ive deleted between a third to half of my photos due to blurring.

Might sound a silly question, but how are you taking the pictures?
I ask because I started off using the camera with the screen off and just pressing the camera button (utilising the quick shot feature). In this scenario I had blurry photos and rubbish results half the time.
I changed the camera button behaviour to just launch the camera app and then press it again (or use the on-screen button) and my photos have been good pretty much all the time.
Hold either camera button to focus.. I rarely get any blurry photos
Sent from my Xperia T
Quickshot seems borderline useless for image quality. But on standard photos after I wait for it to focus, even the slightest movement seem to really blur the image. On other photos it can take that long to focus that you miss your shot.
I've tried taking the ISO settings off auto today to see if that helps.
So far it's the only thing that I feel lets the phone down compared to what you would expect it to be like when you read the spec.

The only other thing I can suggest is there might be a fault with your phone. Do you know anyone else with a T? Do you have the same problem if you take pictures with their phone?!
Hi,
great thread! This phone is one of my favourites now that I'm considering a new handset. Feel free to share any issues that those lucky enough to have one encountered. Thanks

I'm going to go and have a play with another one in the shop over the next few weeks when I find time just in case it is my phone but some how I just think it's the way it is.
So far it's my only remaining issue but it's not a deal breaker I still love the phone and look forward to JB next year.

A number of issues with Nexus 6

Hello all,
Had my Nexus 6 since launch day in the UK, and I started out really liking it, but it's getting more and more in my bad books as I live with it. Wonder if anyone who has one could look over this and tell me if these issues are standard with this device, or whether I need to get onto the network (Vodafone - what a pain)
Reboots - I'm getting a number of reboots. I know this can be app caused, and I'm working through. The main problem is that it requires a pin or swipe to start it booting up, so overnight if it happens, you've got yourself a dead phone till you physically get it going again in the morning
slowdown - I've got a couple of games, one is sky force, that worked well on my note 3, but suffers some terrible slowdown on the Nexus. No idea why this would happen with a better processor
not connecting to 5g on the router - my router has a 2 and 5 g aerial. It works fine on the 2 g, and every other device works on the 5g, but the nexus just will not connect.
slowness of starting up the camera - starting the camera can be 30 seconds.
Upside down display camera pics on some apps - KIK for eg? I know others with Lollipop who don't have this issue on their Sammys.
very bad battery - In use, heavy use, it'll be 3 hours. Average use, bit of messaging, a game, internet, could be 4 hours.
lack of focus on camcorder - it won't stay on a fixed
Slowness of booting up - Can be literally 5 minutes to boot to the main screen. Reminds me a bit of Windows at its worse!
I've had smartphones for many years, and I'm used to their foibles, like battery life and apps that cause reboots, but this is probably the most difficult phone I've had to live with!
I love the screen, the hugeness of it is just what I want, and the sound is great.
I'm getting the crashes, primarily when using the camera, doesn't reboot just stops, 3 times in a few minutes on more than one occasion. Sometimes won't connect to home WiFi without a restart. Start up is very slow. Don't suffer from the other issues. I'm on O2 4G.

This is actually looking a lot like it may be a software defect. For now, the best solution (i.e. temporary, until 5.1 comes out later this month) is to run the phone withOUT encryption. There are lots of threads around about the minor boot partition change needed to accomplish this.

Two reasons;
1) is that despite the better processor, anything I/O heavy will take a lot of CPU power to just handle the crypto. Hopefully, this is something that will be solved (hwcrypto) with 5.1.
2) android 5.0 has some major changes in the runtime -- ART vs Dalvik. If the application developer broke rules in building the software you are running, then it is possible that it won't work optimally on ART. Hopefully, the application developer can adapt.

Works for me....?
Try a router with OpenWRT.
If I remember correctly, some of the OLDER 5G 802.11AC chips used in a lot of routers, like TPLINK Archer C7v1, which has a Qualcomm Atheros QCA9880-AR1A had hardware that was a bit rushed to market and failed to meet a number of the AC specifications. So if your router is such an AC, then the hardware that is working with it may be using 802.11N (older tech), whereas this phone is trying to negotiate an 802.11AC link with it, and failing. So there is a good chance that the problem is actually on the ROUTER's side, rather than the phone.

There are *two* ways to deal with orientation in jpg images; one is to write the image to the file "upright", the other is to write it to the image file as it comes from the buffer, and just give it an orientation flip flag. The software you are using *may not respect* the orientation flag.

I'm actually finding the battery to be quite phenomenal on this device. With low-moderate usage, it will actually go for TWO ENTIRE DAYS on a charge. Usually to get that kind of battery life, I have to apply very invasive controls against google services to prevent them from setting alarms and holding wakelocks.
However, if you have the screen on high brightness and actually turned on a lot, do remember, the screen is ENORMOUS. It takes power to light it up.

I had to check that to verify, and confirm it. That appears to be a bug in the camera application. Try a different camera program for now, and hope that 5.1 fixes it.

Might be software crypto, mine isn't encrypted, and literally boots right up to the unlock screen in about 10 seconds.

Well, the SIZE is almost certainly what is causing you battery life issues. The rest of it is basically because you are running an early version of a MASSIVE system update and simultaneously riding on new hardware that brings in its own batch of *software* bugs. There are some bugs in it that need to be worked out, and hopefully, the majority get worked out with 5.1. There *are* google-private 5.1 builds for Nexus 6 already, so it is just a matter of waiting for them to complete QA and ship it out.
Thanks for this, really appreciate the time, I'll have a good look through later!
Found a fix for the 5ghz router issues on the Google forum.
Apparebtly the nexus favours the American 5g channels... So I've set it to 36 and 40 and its working well! Yey.
Tomorrow I'll try a cache wipe to see what else I can correct before the update.

Note 7 bugs

I don't know how much longer I can put up with Samsung. I've been with them since the note 1 and it's so bad now. Everything from poor software to faulty hardware. GPS seems like its never worked correctly, no matter what they do. Updates cripple their phones. Their camera has certainly gone backwards in quality since the note 4 camera. The phone is lagging and slow always. Even in safe mode. The battery life is 3 hours at best, which is unacceptable. They force updates now, like Microsoft. They bundle things that you can't remove like facebook and instagram, but make you separately download their media players? That's backwards. The reception is horrible compared to other phones. Wi-Fi drops all the time, even next to my router. It has to warn me every single time I plug in headphones that it could damage my hearing. It has to notify me every single time I open the camera that location is either on or off. Charging is slow. Games shudder and lag no matter what I do. I can remove huge, useless apps like facebook. I can't root because of the locked bootloaders. I can't ever quickly see my new facebook messages because it has to now group multiple notifications and there is no way to turn off the "open chat heads" nonsense. The only thing mine doesn't do is over heat it seems like. That green battery ic9on update with the ultimate new UI completely compromised my Note. T-Mobile won't take it back without paying $50 either.
Samsung seems to have turned their backs on what their actual fans want in favor of being an iClone. Why does every single app and menu have a search bar now? Annoying. The drop down menu and notifications have severely dropped in quality since ICS. Does anyone else feel this way at all? It took me a long time to swallow my pride and get the note 2 way back when. Now I regret that I did. I can't find a way around these issues and no one will help.

Galaxy Note 9 stutter/animation lag

Hello There. I've got a Note 9 exynoss version. After few days I noticed an animation lag and thing like scrolling in chrome stutters. I tried to wipe cache partition, master reset and also change animation scale to minimum and nothing has changed. Also front camera is lagging. Is there anything I dam try before sending it back?
P.S: sorry if my english is bad. Still learning.

yeah, wait for september update.
I don't get any lag in chrome unless I am on an iffy internet connection or a badly designed mobile site.
As for the front camera, it lags a little in low light, but that's acceptable to me.
Certainly not a fault.
you sure it is not the website that is poorly made? there are quite a few websites like this out there that lag like crazy until the whole website loads and then it lags less. you can easily test this by going to another website that doesn't lag and then back to the questionable website.

Galaxy Note 5 has an interval where it stops registering one or more tap input

I often play rhythm games with my Note 5 so it's pretty noticeable when I get misses because of this.
I am not particularly sure what's causing this. Stock rom or not (I have LineageOS right now, I even tried the ported S8 Edge rom) the problem is still there.
I can make guesses that it could be input lag, general lag, or something else processing related. Is this a common problem? Could this be more on the hardware end?

Thanks for the suggestion. I actually tried your method but, sadly, no improvements whatsoever.
The problem is still present and I can't keep a combo at all in my game due to random unregistered taps.
EDIT: 12 hours after I did your method, things seem to have improved at least. I'm not certain if the problem is completely solved or it's just my own mistakes in the game now. I think I did more shocks to the phone than what you recommended, though.
