Anyone else having these issues ??

I have just had to factory reset my phone after just 3 months of use. Coming from being a heavy nexus and pixel user I always noticed little Samsung animation stutters when navigating the UI... Even open and closing the app drawer stutters when swiping up and down which I'm very surprised about for a phone with this amount of power and all the praise it gets from reviews. Don't get me wrong the phone is still snappy but I'm very sensitive to animation frame drops.
As time has gone on I've noticed really severe frame drops even when unlocking the phone to the home screen using the finger print scanner and even using the finger print scanner started to not work and could take 2 or 3 presses before it would unlock the phone and even then it would lag and take a few seconds to actually open the phone once it had recognised the fingerprint and made the unlock sound
So far since resetting it has been better but I wouldn't want to keep resetting every few months cos Samsung can't make a decent UI. Has anyone else experienced these types of issues or am I just unlucky???
I have the phone scheduled to auto reset once a week to keep it fresh but that obviously didn't help.

I turn off animations. Also, get off the Samsung Experience launcher, which helps a lot.
I'm sensitive to that stuff too and this helps it all go away.

Thanks I'll try using Nova launcher and see if that helps.

My fingerprint scanner gets laggy sometimes too. It's odd. Because it never happened on my Note 8.
I've got a 512GB Note 9 coming in the mail (hopefully tomorrow), so I'll see how the 8GB vs my current 6GB Note 9 does.

I've got the 8gb one. Never had a laggy fingerprint scanner. Weird!

I have the AT&T version with unlocked firmware installed and have noticed no lag using stock launcher.

My 512GB Note 9 didn't arrive today. It got misdirected in the mail...again. Apparently, it has left the Kansas City distribution center three different times in the last 12 hours, but hasn't actually gone anywhere.

LOL! Maybe! It finally arrived at the local post office last night, but it's not out for delivery yet. Nor is it showing as expected to be delivered today. Usually by this time in the morning, my packages are showing out for delivery. It's all so weird.

I must admit my Samsung note 9 is edging towards 1 of my worst phone purchases.
Fingerprint sensor isn't as great as what I thought it would be nor is the biometrics unlock.
Wifi calling has pretty much stopped working since a few updates back. On EE UK.
Only get wifi calling with volte turned off.
Constantly missing emails and texts for some reason I dont seem to get notifications come through. So I would open my text messages app and notice texts from hours earlier which didnt notify me in any way same with emails which didnt come through but yet sat unread in my emails app.
Definitely not as smooth as my previous Oneplus 5 cant see how because it has Samsung ui on top it should be expected.
The S**t thing is I bought it on the upgrade programme so paying monthly.

Wow. Sounds like you got a bad device. My fingerprint sensor gets laggy sometimes,. Ut I don't have any of those other issues. Maybe try a factory reset?

I don't know then. I'm sorry you've had so many issues. The Note 9 has been a great device for me.

No little delay in screen locking after display off?

Hi there,
I noticed the Mi 9 screen is locked immediately when the display turns off after the idle time. It's quite annoying.
Usually with other phones, the phone locking happens only after some delay, so when the display light is just shut off - I could knock to wake it up without the need of unlocking the phone again and again.
Do you know any solution or workaround?
Thanks,

There is no solution, as far as I know. Yeah, it's really annoying. "Just MIUI things" .

I mean, if it's the stable version, that's the main instigator. Global version is AIDS

Question Wqhd+ vs fhd+ ( huge performance issue ) (exynos)

As soon as i try to shift to wqhd+ with 120 hz , the performance of the phone decreases alot , i see stutters here and there . The phone remains extra warm while using , even the typing isnt as smooth.
But as soon as i switch to fhd+ , omg the phone is really fast again .. no stutters ,
Phone remains very light warm , typing super snooth .
Is there anyone facing the same issue ?
( reminds of my old s9plus with exynos where it was not able to handle wqhd resolution.)
My point is , why do they even offer wqhd when the chipset is weak to handle ?
Is there anyone facing the same thing ?

Fine here , been using wqhd 120hz since first time

Exynos ?
What are your ambient temperatures outside ?

I found WQHD to be smoother. Phone seemed less hesitant (for lack of a better word) in day to day interaction. For example, when set to FHD+, there would be a small delay after unlocking, before the screen starting accepting a touch input. Nothing lagged, but there was this feeling that the CPU/GPU was scaling up an FHD interface onto a WQHD screen (Number of pixels remain the same on the screen, whatever resolution you pick). Once i changed to native WQHD resolution, everything seemed to be instantaneous. It may be consuming more battery, I'm not sure - but i don't see a worse battery life than what it was on FHD+.
During a CODM session I noticed that FHD+ gameplay was smoother than WQHD - so that's probably going to be my use case for FHD+ - Gaming. For everything else, I'll stick to WQHD for sometime and post my experience if I notice any downsides.

What i have noticed is , if you change the resolution from 1440 to 1080 .
The phones data in certain apps still shows that phone is rendering 515 ppi
A restart is must after changing resolution ..
Try to reduce to 1080p , do a reboot , and then use the phone and see if there is a difference ..

Will try today and see if the reboot idea makes a difference over the next 1-2 days

So far, FHD+ seems to be easier on the battery. The touch delay has disappeared after a reboot, so thanks for that suggestion!
Charged nearly a day ago, and did regular usage including half an hour of CODM, WhatsApp, XDA, reddit etc mostly on wifi. Auto dark mode (sunset to sunrise)
With that kind of use case, I'm at 19+ hours since full charge, 4+ hours of screen on time and still have around half the battery left.
I can live with that.

So thats the point .
Qhd is good , but its not easy on cpu/gpu as well as battery .
I am more concerned about the overall general performance , ( not gaming)
Hows the overall performance as of now ?
Like using whatsapp , insta ,facebook , typing , browsing , etc?
Better/smoother than qhd? Or similer ?

Honestly speaking, general performance seems no different between FHD and WQHD. I can't even tell which resolution I'm running unless I go to the resolution setting page.

Yes .. thats true .. its just after changing the setting . You realise that its different .
After like 5 mins of using i barely notice the change in resolution .
I dont know how you are able to achieve that type of battery ..
I might have tinkered with a lot of setting , installed galaxy labs and good lock too .
According to you should i get my phone restored ( software) once from the service centre ?
Or will the factory reset be enough ?

I have good lock too, haven't used labs. I like to tinker with my phone as well. But I don't usually make changes outside what the OS allows (I've changed only user facing options, not dug into system disabling apps, or other such activity)
Service center will not do anything more than what you will do at home. If you think you may have messed up too many settings and can't recover from it, just do a factory restore and set up again. But for the first week or so, expect poor battery life as the OS settles down. Coming from a OnePlus, I actually quite like Samsung software. It has a polish that OnePlus lacks, being built purely for Speed. It's quite robust, just make small incremental changes to set up to your liking, battery life will settle down to a comfortable level.
My battery life was terrible when I got the phone a week ago, but has continued to get better with time.

Honestly, I dont know. Only way to find out is to try. But once again, I don't think Service Centre people will do any special software flash that you cannot do with a factory reset at home. If I was you, i'd not give my phone to a stranger unless I couldn't manage or fix something myself first.
BTW, what is your major gripe with your phone? Battery life? SOT? Standby? Performance? What is bugging you so much?

Sot , battery . I could barely manage 5-6 hours sot without gaming .with Aod on fhd 120hz
Using the camera makes the phone heat up alot and after using camera it throttles and even scrolling feels a bit laggy .
Changing to wqhd and rebooting ,
The ui feels less smooth , the response time reduces , apps like snapchat and instagram start stuttering .

That doesn't sound alright. Have you done a lot (i mean a LOT) of tinkering with the OS? If so, something might have gone off the rails and causing problems. Impossible for me to say. But the phone is buttery smooth... I don't think you should accept any lagginess. Most of the heating issues are also gone after the April update, so I'm not sure what has your device spooked. Which country are you from? Can you get an easy replacement or are you stuck with your device like in India? I'm not saying your device is faulty, but if its bugging you and you can get a free replacement without losing money, get it swapped with a new one.
If that's not possible, the easiest way out will be a factory reset at home.
I'd say go for it, wipe and set it up afresh.

Unfortunately i am from india bro .
Bought offline ,
No replacement/return
I know if i submit in the service centre they are gonna destroy my phone ( may be sratches / mishandling or they could open the phone and destroy the waterproofing)
What i am planning is go to service centre and get the phone flashed again . ( i am least sure that it could be a bad os install on my phone )
A factory reset is what i can try at the moment .

Best of luck! Do keep me posted. I really hope you get this sorted out.
This is a very expensive heartache otherwise! I can imagine what you must be going through. Spend the Sunday setting up a freshly reset phone. If you start now, you should be done by night. Damn thing has soooooo many settings to navigate.

While setting up , did u install the samsung apps?
Are u signed in to samsung account?

Yes for both.
But I made sure to uncheck the Samsung Customisation Service during setup. I only ticked the boxes that were compulsory for allowing the setup to proceed.

Question Xiaomi Mi 11 with MIUI 12.5.1 (heating)

Good Morning Guys
i bought my Xiaomi Mi11 last week when i first open it, it update to MIUI 12.5.1..
but am facing heating problems..
i cant work on the phone more than 10 minutes and the back glass starts to heat up ..
the thinks are even worst when i try to play a game .. phone is heating so muck that you cant hold it ..
do you believe they will fix this problem ??
i have serious thoughts to sell the phone because of this issue ...
after 10 mins of usage, phone is really hot and annoying to hold

Contact the seller. This is not normal.

Yeah, but only when gaming or taking lots of 4K videos.

Thats not sounds normal..
Is there any possibility my case to cause the problem? I have one with magnetic ring for car holder

No, if the device gets as hot as you describe (and not just warm), then there is an issue. It should only get hot under extensive load.
I'm have a similar case and no issues.

Did you try to do a factory reset ?

Hmmm i will wait some days, maybe is until the phone to set up. I have it for 4 days now..
Other wise I will go for a factory reset and see what is going on

so after few days thinks are going better ...
heating its not so intense ...
what i believe the heating was until the phone to set up and start to run normally

Maybe OT for this problem, but , I have a mi 9 and the mi wireless charging pad. All worked fine until the 12.5.1 update now the phone gets hot and I get the overheating warning message when charging. (It seems they've broken something with the the CPU heating / wireless charging controls with this update , other users are reporting the same too)

General Hey i've got MIUI 12.5.1 on my Redmi Note 10 Pro (Global)...And...

...It is still crippled by the forced feature of only having 10 seconds AOD! i hoped and prayed this would of been sorted by now with the infamous MIUI 12.5.
It obviously didn't matter about the other threads i posted (and asking support over on Twitter) as it seems nobody else is bothered? so it appears other users are happy to either resort to rooting their phones and using Magisk or removing MIUI optimisation via developer options just to have a working AOD?
I for one am NOT! why should i? Its dangerous and you lose certain elements. i bought the phone for this feature, they took out the notification light so the least they could do is have an AOD that's, you know...ALWAYS ON!
I'm sick of having to wake my phone all the bloody time just to see if anything has turned up or if i missed a call when i wasn't around near my phone. This is not too much to ask, but it seems everybody else is fine with it? WHY?
On topic, i don't see much change from 12 apart from the sounds being different, a slight increase in speed..oh an the volume bar is different..woo!
(notes got an update waaay before i received 12.5 so that was nothing new.)
Oh, AND STILL NO SUPER WALLPAPERS!
Colour me unimpressed.
P.s this is copied from my MI account on their forums, so not specifically aimed at XDA folks.

Totally agree with you, I've heard they do this to make the false sensation of this being a premium feature, so they push users to buy expensive phones.
For 12.5 I expect proper AOD, super wallpapers and FIXED DEEP SLEEP.. Im tired of losing 20% battery overnight

Plus 1 on the AOD 10 second issue, there's absolutely no point in AOD if it's only on for 10 seconds. I've submitted an issue with Xiaomi Services and Feedback and they came back saying it was for battery drain reasons, which is bull****! Makes more sense to add the option for always on instead of 10 seconds and let the user decide!

My 168 hours will be up this afternoon at which time I'll hopefully be unlocking my BL and flashing MiuiMix. It gives the option to have AOD always on.
I totally agree, I shouldn't have to flash a rom just to get a working AOD but I also want call recording and if MiuiMix on my Mi 9T Pro is anything to go by, it is much better than stock.
I'll see how MiuiMix goes and I might also have a play with the unofficial LineageOS release that looks promising as well.

Yeah it's pretty bad, I got a reply from the developers saying it's for battery too, seems to me it's an artificial cap for their low end devices.

Yep total bollocks on the battery drain issue. If anything i waste more battery turning the bastard on and off every frigging 5 minutes (at full brightness) just to see if anything has turned up! An AOD (like on my GF's Mi9 is in a very low brightness state which moves every 2 minutes to prevent burn in) should be implemented on their midranges too...But it seems like it's a feature deliberately only available on their flagship products...If that's the case it's discriminatory and bang out of order.
Please guys tweet @XiaomiSupport as much as possible and get Redmi Note 10 users to do the same, also use the inbuilt feedback on your phones...i'll post a screenshot in a tick on how to do it.
Come on comrades if enough of us keep harassing and threatening to boycott they will have to take notice.

1 : Settings (scroll right to the bottom)
2 : Service and feedback (ignore FAQ)
3 : Suggestions (tick box)
4 : Enter your grievance (I did mine via my phone so due to predictive text a few mistakes, but you get the gist)
5 : Select item (home screen + settings - always on display)
6 : enter your email. (Send)
Try and highlight that is not too conserve battery as you waste more battery turning it on and off, and that their flagship phones have it... If you pre-empt their stock reply you have more chance of not being fed bull****.
Good luck lads

Near the bottom of developer options there should be an option in the Autofill section called 'reset to default values'. Apparently if you tap this a few times the switch for MIUI optimization will appear again

Yep, pretty annoying. That's why I switched to PixelExperience I did notice a battery drain though when using it.
I'm now using NotifyBuddy, an app that only turns on AOD when I have a new notification. It replaces the notification led. Works well.
