Hey guys,
Anyone else getting really poor Wifi performance out of the box? With the default setting (max power-saving), Youtube videos can take minutes to buffer on my device.
Switching it to max performance alters this so it takes only a couple of seconds, but I guess at the expense of the battery. Is anyone else seeing this performance issue or is it a problem with my router?

I've not that problem. When i want to go to a website (like xda) it doesn't take to much time. So i think it's maybe your router.
Yeap! I had to switch mine to full performance to get it to even pick my home wifi signal let alone download anything from youtube. But after increasing the performance level of the wifi things got sweater.
Anyone experiencing battery heating issues?
The battery temp stays from 25C to 36C when not in use/constant usage.
however, after prolonged period in lockscreen mode, & i unlocking to use it, it heats up pretty fast, playing games worse; ends up with 42C to 48C, highest being 51C.
is this a common issue? (as some of my friends have this prob too), and it's only the dark blue Note.
any ideas for fix?
Mine gets pretty toasty as well. If I use it while charging it, I've seen it get to 48 degrees.
My Battery died tonight. I woke up after i burned nearly my arm becaus of the hot device. it boots shortly because of demaged battery but i dont know if the Note is ok. display issues. It was on CM 04, on 03 i dont have recogniced any heating problems. If my new battery arrives i must test if it has no damage.
@gilrad: i never use my phone when charging so that i can get a more accurate charge.(just my own thinking) still it can get abit hot(but this is the normal heating)
just referring to light/normal/heavy usage.
@wtwo2: how did your note get hot in the first place ?

it was on charging. it boots shortly with battery and charger in but then goes off(usb port). battery doesn't load any more
edit:with charger in wall it boots normally and i can use it but i testet it only shortly, better wait for new battery.
Until now 'no' issues with device.
Yep, same here on my Note, International version from Latin America, GB, rooted.
It gets hot when I do intensive activities such as:
- Watching full featured movie (1+ hour)
- Playing games with tons of action (not simple one like Draw Something)
- Browsing website with heavy content (Flash, ads)
So far, has NOT resulted in too high of temperature such that it burn my hand.
Mine is heating like toster
My note is heating up very fast. I found when it is heating so badly
1.When you search for 3g networks or wifi signals or when downloading at high speeds.
2.When you start ur flashlight for 5 or more minutes
3.When you use your GPU at most for example watching HD video and playing high quality games
I saw my battery upto 58 degrees
I saw my battery draining like seconds when i started watching a hd video it goes on decreasing from 78,77,76...............27 in just 20 mins time with 3g activated.

Its odd that people report that the Note gets hot while watching videos. Are these online flash videos or something? I use my Note to watch a lot of HD videos, and it always runs cool. It may be to do with the encoding on the video or the player... I tend to encode to High profile H264 and use mVideoplayer. AFAIK, this allows GPU decoding which runs cooler and draws less power.
Some players use the CPU (the early versions of Mobi player did this I think), which gets hotter faster and drains the battery quicker.
Mine often gets hot only after i've left in lockscreen mode for quite a while -> wake-up -> use apps before it cools down after quite some time, with the app still running

and now it's getting a bigger drain even when i leave it locked while i sleep. dropping from 100% to 60% in one night and from battery graph, it shows that my phone's getting wokeup periodically - any ideas..?
and now i have to reboot often once i realise the battery cant enter deep sleep mode -> battery drain. it's monitored by betterbatterystats where my deep sleep time is 0s, anyone got any ideas what's causing the wakes?
My phone is only about 3 weeks old now, but after a day or 2 of normal, heavy usage it starts to lag. A reboot always seems to clear up the problem and it runs super fast for the day and then all of a sudden it starts lagging again. It's most notable when I lock the phone and then try to unlock it again within a minute. It just hangs there and won't respond for up to 30 secs or so. It's really frustrating if I get a phone call and try to answer it.
It seems to me that there is something that's running in the background that is eating up resources, but I can't seem to tell what it is. I'm currently running Google Now Launcher, but I've seen the problem with stock TouchWiz as well. Is this a common problem and anyone have a solution for it. I love the phone with this one exception.
Thanks
I'd also like to add that when I go into battery usage, "Android System" seems to be very high. Any ideas what is causing Android System to be my highest battery drain?
I'm merging these two problems onto one thread post.
My Droid Turbo XT1254 running RR and the BHB27 kernel likes to shut down when it reaches around 5-10%, as if the battery died. However, when I connect a charger, it immediately jumps up to the percentage it died at. This baffles me, because it probably isn't the phone not being able to read the battery life properly. This happened every now and then back when I was on stock too.
Also, recently my Turbo has begun to randomly freeze for seemingly no reason. There's no warning, it just becomes unresponsive for a couple of seconds and reboots. It even happens while the phone is asleep.
Just as another side topic, is it possible to downscale the phones resolution from 1440p to 1080p? This could help with performance and battery life, as I believe its one of the main contributes to the Quarks disappointing endurance.
Update on the random freezing and rebooting, I think I've narrowed it down to my undervolting, but I hope it settles down. This phone gets extremely hot so I don't want to not be able to keep the undervolt.
Got my x522 the other day and I notice this behavior across multiple different ROMs - Lineage 14.1, 15.1, AOSP Extended Oreo, and Pixel Experience Oreo and Pie variants.
When I first wake up in the morning, the phone flies. But once I use it a little, it starts to warm up, and it quickly seems to begin throttling the CPU/killing cores. So for instance, the facebook app will begin taking 7-10 seconds to load. If I leave the phone for an hour, and the phone feels fully cool to the touch, the performance still seems to lag. It's only after I leave it alone overnight does the performance seem to pick up to full speed again - Then the FB app takes about one second to load fresh after killing it.
I've seen posts saying to delete the thermal config file but that doesn't seem to make a difference even after a reboot.
1) Am I the only one who seems to experience this issue with heat and apparent thermal throttling?
2) If not, can I edit the config and goose the numbers? I don't even have to be gaming or doing intense, just literally scrolling facebook, or playing a couple of youtube videos and it slows up badly, and stays that way for a lonnng time.
Thanks,
Matt
Edit - I used the phone all yesterday, pretty hard - Though it got quite warm, I never noticed any of the laggyness I was the day before. Either deleting the conf file actually worked, or the sluggishness I was experiencing the other day was due to something else.
