I am about to get a well handled second hand Optimus 2x.
What I would like to know before closing the deal is if this phone still has problems with random reboots and/or BSOD?
Have a nice day!

If its running Froyo, which im guessing it is, then probably yes. But then you might be lucky and get one that doesnt have the issue as bad as some people on here. Some people have reported the issue happening every few days. But for me it only happened ever month or so. Seeing as gingerbread is out there is some countrys (officially for some of them) then this might fix the problems but who knows - only had it installed for 12 hours so far...
I will probably use some custom rom, or at least root it.
Have people reported random reboots with official GB?
With MIUI 1.10.28 + SwitfExtreme and using it since 4 days : no bsod, no freeze. Just perfect for now.
I never used stock ROM, so I can't tell.

I am also on miui 1.10.28 + owains tweaks (includes swiftexteme). I have used stock before and it was very bad experience. Right now with miui its friggin amazing. I will recommend everyone to try this setup. I dont need to setcpu or keep turning wifi and 3g off. The way the phone was intended to be is how it is right now.
Word of advice, DO NOT STAY ON STOCK ROM. I'm not saying miui is best or cm7 is best, they actually have proper modified stock roms by topogigi and others which are million times better than stock.
Hi People.
I have my note since december and about a month later it started having problems.
The phone freezes and has to be rebooted, and then when you try to reboot it will be taking a long time with many many unsuccessful reboot trials in between.
I sent it to the service once and they just restored the factory settings(Thanks samsung because i didn't know how to do that myself) and then i sent it a second time, this time to samsung technical service where they diagnosed the phone as okay and blamed it on the battery.
It's been 4 days since the phone returned and today i have had the same issues with the new battery as well, so i am now pretty sure it's the phone.
before i call samsung and make a fuss about it to some manager i would like some feedback from you guys.
Has any of you encountered this issue with his phone?
On a scale of 1 to 10 how smooth would you describe your experience(in terms of issues and frustration) with the Note?
Also What would you guys do in my shoes?
Should i yell at them for selling me a malfunctioning phone and not repairing it at the service twice?
How do you think i should handle it?
Does samsung policy incluce giving you a new phone if it's having problems? When are you entitled to get one?
Lots of questions i know but i really need the answers. Thanks for the patience.

hi Android 4.9 Marshmallow i m using note for 3 month ,i haven't noticed any freezing problem i m in stock non rooted rom and use launcher and lockers and lots of games and aaps but every thing runs smooth ...
for smoothness i wood give 9 out of 10 .
i dont know about ur country but u should ask them of a replacement ..
Thank you Gaurav99 for your answer, and good that you mentioned some specifics because i forgot to say that i am also on stock firmware, non rooted and i use Touchwiz default launcher.
I went with the phone as it was supposed to be by samsung.
I am going to need some more feedback from you guys. Please post.
My phone only hangs when I multitask heavily while downloading huge torrents in the background (adownloader)
Are you sure it's not a rouge app that's behind your issue ?
Maybe you do have a defective device but please do check your background apps first, cuz it really is a pain to get a replacement device from Samsung if you can't replicate the issue at the service centre.
Good luck.
Hi!
I have my Note since December and wanted to share my experience so you can come to a conclusion.
The stock firmware that was originally on the device was let's say 6 out of 10 smooth.
With the first Official update that was improved to 7-8 out of 10.
With the Official ICS update came close to 9.
Of course i must inform you that the time i use stock Roms are very few. Custom Roms (GB and ICS) are way smoother and lag-free.
Before starting to panic and going after Samsung, i advice you to Root your phone.
See if the "problem" continues.
IMO your experiencing the lag of the stoch firmware right know.
Hope i hepled! Good luck!

What's a "rouge" app?
My problem started again today right after i installed an app from 4shared. As the app opened it searched for a license to function properly and that's where my phone hung and i had to reboot.
It rebooted normally but shortly after it froze again and from then and on the phone could not reboot properly.
In the end i decided to wipe it clean and see whether the problem persisted.
It did. It got stuck right after the boot of the initial run of the wiped firmware.
The last thing i did with my phone before problems began was fill it with apps. I installed about 12-3 apps and two of them were from 4shared.
The way it happened this time(in relation to 4shared) made me think. But it's true that it happened in exactly the same way as before i send the phone to samsung for repairs, and then it used to happen with more "innocent" apps.
So can you describe what the procedure for a device replacement is?
Thanks in advance.
Hi Sotiris.
I want to try and root it and see if anything changes, but it would suck if there was a problem with the phone and the custom ROM patched it up temporarily for a few months. Imagine my distress when after a few months the issues come back suddenly, it's to going to be more than frustrating and i am going to regret not dealing with the issue when i could(now).
So since the company does not cover me if i root my phone or install a custom ROM, i have decided that i am not going to do those things.
I am going to ask them to take responsibility for a device that i paid dearly to have in my possession demanding the simple, logical and necessary demand that it works properly.
You see it's not a matter of "lag". It's a matter of functionality. My phone simply.does.not.work.
Imagine being afraid to install your favorite apps on your phone in fear that tomorrow you might have to wipe it and lose everything to restore the phone to working order. Beats the idea of a "smart"phone doesn't it?
Thanks for the feedback, and Να σαι καλά!

I came from a Nexus 5 with ART enabled and it was SOOOOO much faster and more responsive than my Nexus 6. Yes, I know that the Nexus 6 has that god aweful encryption crap, but even the benchmarks with it on show it as being faster. I am running stock, barely have any apps installed, have animation speeds at .5, and yet I lag hardcore even when Im just typing. I havent been on a device this laggy since my Galaxy S2.......Is there anything I can do? Or am I SOL until they release a fix?
Hmm strange I have never noticed lag when typing seems like an everyday thing to do, your not thermal throttled by any chance are you??

Not that Im aware of.......I REALLY dont want to root my device (yes I know, then why have android). I like the stock experience, and I used to root all the time but I got SO sick of all the bugs in roms
I know what you mean with not wanting to root, I was adamant wasn't rooting..lasted a day.
^ you lasted longer than I did. 5 hours.
I made it a few days without root, but ultimately succumbed...
Still stock ROM and encrypted though. My N6 flies. No lags anywhere. I let a co-worker handle the beast over the weekend, he has a Note 3. He liked how smooth and fluid Lollipop is.
I can only suggest OP is experiencing a software problem of sorts. Perhaps something was installed which is hogging resources in the background. Maybe even a factory reset is in order.

I am guessing this. the only lag I ever saw was when first opening an app. such as shown in this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DV2X51kAVfc
my n6 is very slow compared to my n5. I have animations to 0.5x and encryption off. is a software problem ?? the display resolution ??
changing animations 0.5 does not work....its very frustrating

Must be your phone or cellular service. I had nexus 5 the 6 is MUCH faster no lag at all
My read and write speeds are atrocious!! Makes me want to cry

Rooting your device doesn't change what "ROM" you have, it simply gives you write/edit capabilities to system files.
You can root and boot and you will notice zero changes. And of course your N5 was running ART - that's lollipop's only runtime.
Wait I thought the recent software update improved the speed of the device, or not? Did I mishear something?
Mine is faster than my SD805 G3 that I had. Its also faster in most ways than my Nexus 9 was. It depends on what you are running, even stock it was extremely smooth.
Try a factory reset. It may help.

if this doesn't help, you may have to flash the factory img again.
but in all reality, you shouldn't rely so much on arbitrary benchmark numbers. everyone's is different based on what they have on their phone, just like measuring screen on time as a good mark for battery life.
Didnt help, still the same speeds.......and I dont rely on them, but my phone has been SUPER slow.........UGhhh this sucks. Anyone else on stock? Wanna run Androbench and post your results? Im wondering If I have a bad device and need to get it swapped? I already did that once.....Grrrrrrrr
Mine is about the same as your results but I don't notice any lags
Hi guys,
I have a Moto G 2014(xt1068) I've have been using CM 13 for 4 months now but after every two months, my phone's performance slows down. I have to factory reset my phone after every 2-3 months to keep it working smooth and stable. I want to know does this happen with your phone if yes how do you overcome this problem ? I have tried lot's of apps like Greenify and Better Battery Stats but I'm unable to solve this problem. Can anyone guide me what possibly the problem could be and how do I detect what's the root cause of this problem how do I overcome this? Also, I wanna know can an android phone work as smooth as an iPhone?
Waiting for reply..:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

Have you tried doing the following? get 1Gb free space at least then run fstrim monthly based (sorry, that's what I did with my old GNEX every time it slowed down or experienced as you did.

Hear me out. I think the phone is amazing. The software is crap, now the 5 is out the updates have already slowed. Not to mention OOS is always behind on security.
Now custom roms. I appreciate highly the work so many devs have been doing especially sultan, lineage and paranoid. But theres always something thats a bit off, camera especially, lag etc. Always end up going back to OOS then get bored again, try roms again.
Is there anyone else like me who has had enough of being a crack flasher or gets bored easily and has just had enough of trying to find perfection from a oneplus phone ?
What do you want to hear? Need a confirmation for yourself to get another phone to make the step a bit easier?
Yes, I hate the manner of OnePlus to not even fix a single thing, like the implementation of the Camera2 API. Sure, they lied to us more often than we want. But what company does the job better?
If you want to get a new phone: Fine. I'm also looking for a replacement. But I'm looking for phones for weeks or months, so I'm sure, the phone is good enough and beloved by devs. For me, no OP-device anymore. But really fed up? No.

I dont meed a confirmation from anyone. Ive made a topic for discussion. For instance i have a oneplus one as well ae my back up. There is more stable nougat roms on that, a 3 year old phone than there is on the newer higher spec 3t. Phones are getting ridiculous. What the hell is with these curved screens now so no tempered glass fits properly.
The next phone i get needs to be something that will have good support. Preferably from a company who releases camera sources
LAG on OP3T? wtf :0
I agree with you, I dont like OOS but i love custom roms and PA is perfect, its so smooth and optimized and their camera software is on par with OOS cam

Ive seen lag on pa rom when opening messages and settings and a few other things. It was minor but it bugged me a lot. The camera i didnt think was on par although its better than most roms. I didnt find the camera snappy enough either
Honestly stock is the best for this phone by far. Set it up right and its the fastest phone out there. Are you talking about screen lag or application lag?

Ah! I am defeateddddd! Pa had application lag. For instance it opens but messages would appear after lag and same with settings. Stock is better but i hate the delay in updates that dont fix basic bugs or update security.
My 2 cents; OOS continues to be good enough I don't even bother to unlock anymore. I was a Nexus fan for sure, but the 6P was my end of the line (yeah yeah, end of the line anyway). I had numerous issues and it finally got the bootloop problem that was plaguing many users. I got a used replacement, sold it and never looked back from the 3T. I tried most roms for the Nexus lines and while many were excellent, it was always something. When I got the 3T I decided to just leave it stock for a week and have not looked back. I get at least 2 days from it, it charges insanely fast, have had no lag/reboots/lockups, nothing. I would say I'm a fairly normal user except no social media really, privacy and all.
I keep a tab on what's new and as of today, nothing at all has tweaked my interest. Samsung/Motorola/HTC = never, too bloated. Pixel = too expensive.
I do feel the security updates are a bit slow and some additional OOS goodies would be nice, but for the price, for me it's hands down still the best phone.
Stock is the best rom, ftw

I hear you and agree with all of it. Problem with oneplus now is couple more years it will be on par with samsung pricewise. Then what? The bloated huawei honor line.
Sultans and PA are the best custom roms but they are not without their bugs.

Didn't we get like 2 betas already since the 5 is out? Also, custom roms have issues on EVERY phone. You won't find a phone where a custom rom works 100%.

3 betas since our last update. Because we are still testing for the 5. Tell me what beta features have come to stable?

I don't know and I don't care to be honest. The stable version of OOS is an inferior version of the beta at this point. The beta is 100% stable in my experience and offers more features than the stable one as you've said.

Wlan signal quality is very bad with mine.
Noticeable in many games, when it is endlessly stucked until the it the signal gets through again.
With 4G there is 0 problems, it's only this weak Wlan module, it's getting on my nerve.
