Chrome frequent crashing, among other apps
Hello, I've been using Android since about 2013, when I picked up an S4 for the AT&T carrier. It was a very nice phone. About 2 months ago I decided to get a Nexus 6. What really has been bothering me is the performance of this phone, compared to the performance I got with an S4. Right now I'm rooted with the most up to date version of Chroma flashed, unencrypted. Frequently Google Chrome will freeze up for a good 8 seconds,and then ask me if I want to terminate the process or wait. Google Maps, Camera, and Firefox also sometimes suddenly crash. I've even had Maps crash while I was using GPS and driving on the road. Is there any way to fix this? Its been occurring since the first week after purchasing this phone. I've checked how much memory is free using multiple apps and I am not low. So I'm wondering if there's a solution. Has anyone else been having this happen to them?
@tenthsun
I would suggest starting by clearing cache for each of the problematic apps. Settings/Apps/All, then choose each each app and clear cache.
If the problem persists, I would then suggest trying going back to stock, rooted and see if it's any better.
Could be rom, kernel, gapp package or installation problem. I would start from scratch.
Morning folks,
Had my Note 9 a few weeks now. Quite happy with it, and haven't updated from stock oreo yet.
Now that people have had a chance to tweak and play with Pie, I have a few questions -
1) how does battery life compare?
2) are you still able to remap the Bixby button? Currently using bxactions.
3) is split screen still available?
4) what functions have been lost, if any?
5) start functions have been gained, if any?
Look forward to hearing your thoughts.
Cheers for now,
John
There are threads here already about Pie in general (e.g. https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-9/help/pie-one-ui-impressions-t3896792) and about your specific questions (e.g. https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-9/help/pie-battery-life-experience-t3895668).

I can give you Information about my device with my personal using, but remember things can be diffrent from device to device and User to user.
1. Battery getting better and better. Atm i get 2.5 Days runtime with 6 h SoT
2. I guess yes. My bixbyremapper ist working fine so far..
3. You mean this app paring that you can use 2 apps together at the screen ? Then yes *Edit* maybe im too stupid but i cant find this function anymore?! ? Strange..
4. Wifi WPS for example.. more i dont know.
5. Hm my Bad english. Dont understand what you mean. I will translate and edit Posting later okay ?

Thanks Gary. I've had a look at these and they don't what to have been added to for a few months. Maybe they were for the beta?

No, they're post-beta. Android Pie started distributing to US Note9s in January.
One big problem if you haven't updated yet is that your phone may be exposed to several critical remote-takeover vulnerabilities that have been fixed during the past few months.

I find the new security update really interesting.
Remote takeover? I just wonder who why and how this could be done? I just dont get it

There's plenty of introductory material online that explains how security vulnerabilities work. Also, Google and Samsung publish monthly descriptions of the vulnerabilities they fix.
Remote-takeover vulnerabilities allow others anywhere in the world to monitor and record everything you type on your phone (including account credentials) and everything you read, see, and hear on your phone. Attackers can read, write, delete, or modify any information or media stored on your phone, or send messages from you to your contacts or to others. They can track your location and turn on your microphone and cameras.
You don't have to be singled out. Many attacks these days are automated and unleashed on millions of target devices. Large international crime organizations increasingly carry out such attacks. The most common reason is theft, but blackmail is also a growing concern. Or attackers can use your phone as a distribution center for material that they don't want traced to them.

Is there actually any proof that this has happened?

There's proof that some of it has happened and that all of it is easily accomplished using known exploits. What you do about it is a tradeoff, similar to home-security issues. You can leave your front door unlocked and probably not get robbed; or you can use locks, alarms etc. and possibly still get robbed. The tighter your security, the less likely it is for there to be a breach; but tighter security comes at a cost (money, convenience, etc.). So you need to weigh what you stand to lose against what you stand to gain, and that depends on individual circumstances.
Call recording and Swift installer support. Two biggest reasons for staying on Oreo for me.
This update is so bad I can only compare it to Windows ME & Vista. I downgraded thanking God because my bootloader stayed in v1.0.
It really seems like the Note 9 hardware is not built for this One UI Pie.
I'm sorry to be reading all this dislike of the Pie+OneUI update. I just bought the Note9 and really wanted to go straight to Pie+OneUI because of themes and because by now Pie should be in good shape--after all, Android 9 is a year old and has been rolled out to this device for three months? My note has been turned on for about 30 minutes, and I'm applying OS updates as I type. How bad can it possibly be?

Just do the updates to the OS and then factory reset device.
Good as Gold from there on

Ouch! I just booted for the first time (into a year old version of Android8), walked through initial wifi, Google, and Samsung account setup, did all the sequential updates (about 7 or 8 downloads and reboots) to get to the latest version ***CSD1 of Android9+OneUI, and then I installed about 30 of my apps, and finally installed Nova Prime and setup my homescreen (all took a few hours).
Think there will be performance issues because of all the sequential updates? Only to be remedied now by doing a factory reset? (assuming the idea is to load ***CSD1 without all the incremental update steps)... And just to confirm, a factory reset would roll me back to the latest Android9 version with security updates which were released in April this year, and not to the original year-old Android 8 that the phone device shipped with, correct? (I don't see why the updates would not also update the factory reset image)........
Okay, as I think about this... I believe there is no "factory reset image".... The way Android works is the /system partition IS the "factory reset image", and a factory reset operation simply wipes everything in the /data partition (and cache, etc). Therefore, since I did my updates before installing all of my apps, then I believe that doing a factory reset now and re-installing all of my apps would only result in a possible change to the 'stuff' in /data that relates to the initial setup: wifi, Google, and Samsung account setup--app-reinstall would result in the same states, since in both cases, apps were installed after all updates. And since wifi and account setup data is likely no different on the Oreo ROM vs Pie, a factory reset at this point seems like a complete waste of time and probably bad advice. Not so sure there is any reason to do a factory reset immediately after initial account setup and updates. I think I just rubber-chickened this thread!
In any case,
What can I test and what results should I look for to see if the sequence of updates has caused performance issues that a factory reset would cure?
Thanks for your response, Hazzay!

In your case you don't need a factory reset, you updated your device straight out of the box which is just as good as a clean install. A factory reset sometimes helps users who have been running apps for a while on the previous version, and restoring user data causes system instability due to the OS major upgrade.
Also, I've done exactly the same thing 3 months ago, and haven't had a single issue [emoji846]

You won't have an issue as you had a new phone with no previous data on it.
Ps of you factory reset a device it won't go back to the OS version it came out of the box. It will remain on the latest version of the update.
Updated to Pie immediately after turning on the Note 9 for the first time, then installed my apps, then installed my sim. This is THE SMOOTHEST, best OS, best battery efficiency, best looking.....
..... it's the best!
is the note 9 Pie's camera quality improved? Still staying on Oreo for months as I have not ever heard of praises for improved cameras and still some users need to install GCam but seems note 9 Pie does not support GCam ?
Hello Everyone,
Needing help
Just got my new note 9 replacement and I have noticed that there is a lot of screen lag.
I only had this phone for 16 hours and I am where after receiving it, I am configuring apps and doing a lot of sign in with apps like words with friends or basic texting and noticed that there is a lot of screen lag. When I am using the keyboard for entering in text or just basic texting, there is just to much lag and this is just frustrating.
Is there a settings that need to be enabled?
What can be done to make the texting more smoother?
Thanks a bunch!
Factory reset. Do ALL incremental updates and reboots. Then begin to install apps.
That may be the case,
Soon as I picked it up (the replacement) at t-mobile, they put the sim & micro scd card, I was off and away.
After I logged in to google, the app restore took over.
It took about 30 to 40 minutes, then there were some of those Android Updates to bring to the latest versions . . .
So to be clear, I should do a reset (after the updates all have been already updated) ?
factory reset, turn off all animations, app updates, midget p0rn.

No, I don't think a reset after all updates is necessary. But a reset to clean out all your apps is necessary -- you want your apps to be installed on an up-to-date system.
I would do a factory reset so it has no apps installed at all--as if you just unboxed it. Then do every update--ie. check for updates, download and install updates, reboot, over and over until it can't find any updates anymore. Look at settings > About phone > Software information > all the way to bottom to see your latest update. It should be Sept 2019 or close to it. That should put you on the latest update (there will probably be many of these and reboots to do). Once that's all complete, THEN freshly install all your apps, and they will all optimize for your updated system.
for 1 week the battery doesn't last a day, and I hardly use it, and I don't have thousands of apps, etc. One question can be made a reset to this phone, since at the beginning it was perfect ...
Thank you and is the same thing happening to someone?
Did you make analysis which applications use net/wifi/gps in background? issue wakelocks?
Did you check whether it is related to personal revival of infamous CPU frequency sticking bug, solved long time ago (and. if yes, did you clear Dalvik cache, etc.)?
Did you disable all unneeded apps (including pre-installed trash like Mi-Services).
Are you using battery saving mode? IMO switch it off immediately.
Did you set which applications may work in background? Having root you could also krystalize most of applications in more detailed way.
Have not you killed your battery freezing it or charging it permanently?
I am asking all this because nobody else is complains on this specific update and this specific issue in several forums I read from time-to-time (except that usually many complain on initially low battery capacity and now many complain on installation problems with this specific update).
One single app working in background and using net/wifi/gps can drain battery in a few hours.
thanks for responding, as I always have the phone only with the wifi on and the rest all off, I do not have many applications that consume battery only the WhatsApp, you can do a hard reset to this device? as it came with android one and now has android 10

Hmm, stock ROMs for MiA2 were/are Android One, versions 8.0, 8.1, 9.0, 10.0. And yes, if you did not make factory reset updating from 9.0 to 10.0, you are to make it (beware losing user data in phone and forced initial setup)
Since the update to Android 12/OneUI4 my S22U has on at least 4 occasions gone into a full hard lockup / non-responsive and needed to be hard-rebooted and has been so laggy / bad battery etc
Anyone had a better time of 12 by doing a clean install without backup ..... it's a total pain to have to do this without using a backup and will require many hours of faffing around with both personal stuff and Knoxx (my employers BYOD solution)
Has anyone done a clean start and found less issues -- i know OnePlus had a load of issues with their upgrade so it seems upgrades aren't amazing this time around)
I did a clean install of Android 12 (factory reset, no reinstall of apps from backup) and have had no issues whatsoever.
I installed subsequent updates of A12 without reset.
Yeah ... my phone completely locked up when i hit "hang up" on a phone call .... the line didn't disconnect, the screen went weird, pressing the power key just opened the camera and no matter what it just didn't respond ... Same thing has happened now several times along with suddenly the phone going down to around 15-20 fps even in the user interface for about 10 minutes before seeming to recover
A factory reset is in order after a major OTA firmware upgrade.
It may fix it but there seems to be many issues with this upgrade. Scoped storage is fully enforced and not compatible with many older apps. It's also eats cpu cycles and slows the device when it's active.
SmartSwitch may or may not work. It sometimes creates conflicts by importing erroneous settings for the new OS or device. Sometimes it does work fine. I inadvertently used it to backup apps while transferring homepage settings from Android 9 to 10 on my second N10+, it worked perfectly.
Never rely on it alone to backup critical data!!!
