After use it for 2 days. I've noticed it getting much hotter in the back panel compare to my Att Galaxy S2 and also the performance is worse than the S2. Got lagging. Anyone have this?

I'd expect it to be a little slower with the different processor. Maybe you should give it time to settle in and build caches? I'd expect it pan out after time.

Mine gets a little hot under heavy use, but I've not experienced any slowness.
The snapdragon s3 processor in the note might not benchmark as high as the exynos, but in terms of usability you shouldn't be able to notice a difference. In fact, there have been several reviews with side by side comparions of the ATT note and Intl. version, and some folks are even reporting that the ATT note is snappier feeling.
Lag? I haven't seen any at all... and heat? Are you tethering or downloading large files?

No just normal use. Check mail, Facebook. Chat... Yes it lagging, not smooth crolling

I have the lagging issues and I'm just doing the same as you.
exactly where is it lagging at? just when scrolling things?
Used international note for over a month and so far, this AT&T variant feels much faster. Just my 2¢.

I had 2 different Skyrockets. The first was awesome. The second one got hot and had fast battery discharge. I took it back and they gave me a new one and all was great again. Not sure what the problem was but pretty much the same phone as these. Just fyi

I am running mine at both CPU and GPU overclock with 1.83GHz on the CPU(s) and not seeing additional heat generation. Perhaps you got a unit with an issue?
My skyrocket running 54mhz slower generates more heat than this (presumably due to less surface area to dissipate heat) - there may be a heat spreader internally that isn't seated properly causing heat build up in your unit?
Coming from the Skyrocket my new Note has some lag that I had never experienced before as well.
That being said, I don't believe it's the phone.
I uploaded a short video showing the lag that I get while using the twitter application, but then when using Tweetdeck you have essentially none, it scrolls like butter.
I've also experience some of the same lag like the one on the twitter app in the Gmail app as well.
It's not anything that I can't overcome, just slightly annoying.. Overall though this phone is absolutely KILLING my Skyrocket in every other facet.
The video might take a few minutes to process, but here is the link:

No issue with lag or heat on mine. Even when tethering it only gets a little warm on the back.

Maybe it is the Twitter application then? Does it lag on any other phone?

The white is beautiful.
. . . the official twitter app was loading images, while tweetdeck had loaded them all already. This situation may not speak to lag due to the device's fault, but rather the efficiency discrepancy between the two apps.
I've noticed a bit of lag in Tapatalk but that's it. Everything else is silky smooth. It gets warm, but definitely not hot.

I've notice serious lag on a few Craig list apps. But everything else has been smooth. Cept tried out go launcher. That lagged big time when trying to go to the app drawer. Notice standby times are awesome much like my skyrocket. So far even stock the note is awesome..i ran my skyrocket stock and rooted an Prolly the same for the note as its my work/personal line. Gonna sell my skyrocket. And keep my atrix to get my flashing and stuff to tinker with.and as a backup.

That's what I thought at first, but it's not the case, it just simply doesn't pull up the images immediately. I'll upload another video in a few to explain what I mean. The images are loaded and there, but whenever you scroll up and down they disappear and reappear.

I've used it on my SGSII, Skyrocket, Infuse, HTC Vivid.. none of them had that issue. I could be wrong, but I think it might have to do with it trying to force into the Note's screen resolution. Again, I don't necessarily think it's the Note's FAULT per se, but it hasn't done it on any other phone.
EDIT/UPDATE: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WsMLsrnvhQ video I said I'd make showing what I mean.

The official twitter app has scrolling issues related to speed, just look at the comments in the market.

All i know is none of the phones mentioned above had the same issue.
Again, I absolutely love this phone, and I don't think that it is the phones fault. I'm just stating that this app worked fine on every other phone I've tried but on this one its unusable. I've since downloaded Twicca and it works pretty well.

Getting some noticeable lag too. Especially in the social hub scrolling widget.
My galaxy note 2 uses alot of ram and I don't know why it's running 4.3 alliance rom via safe strap and constantly with no apps opened (rebooting the phone) and clicking clear memory I am running at 1.69/1.79GB Of ram. It's taking me a while to even post this thread because my phone is being so laggy does anyone know what can cause this problem? Or how I can fix it? I can't even text my girlfriend without the phone freezing and me having to pull out the battery. I am really considering getting the cash for the galaxy note 4 and buying it as soon as possible. Unless I can fix this phone and save me 700 dollars. Any help appreciated. Thanks!
I'm thinking about upgrading, having been on the Note 2 for 3 years. I'm running Alliance Rom 32 (4.4.2) and it runs well so maybe I should just keep it. I would get the Note 4 but I use root for Viper4Android, Adfree and to be able to turn off/remove background "bloat" apps. Maybe the Note 4 is fast enough to overcome the lag background apps can cause?
I'm on a VZW family plan so tethering isn't an issue.
I use the Pen once in a while for note taking but could live without it.
What are rooted Galaxy Note 2 users moving to?
Thanks,
I've been on a rooted Note 2 for 3 years also. I'm stuck since I'm on a grandfathered unlimited data plan. For me it's all about the camera. I use my phone to document my kids growing up. That being said the best camera on an Android device right now is in the galaxy S6 but the lack of removable battery and storage kinda blows so I would probably get the Note 4 at this point even though I'm kinda over the phablet thing. A buddy at work has the Note 4 edge and that thing is nice. Also you may want to consider the next iPhone. I hate to say it but everything is designed to work with it.

@Dugall12 - thanks for your thoughts. You post confirms my suspicion that perhaps my Note 2 running Alliance ROM 32 is about as good as it gets right now. Like you I've considered a 5 inch screen phone. We have an extra Galaxy S4. I just rooted it to stang5litre debloated Lollipop 5.01 OC1. I used it for a few days and thought performance and battery power were quite good. I then gave it to my college age son to try and he says its overheating. I think he's running some third party app that causing the issue. Another option is we have an available VZW upgrade and could get an S5 for $50 through Amazon.
I can't believe Samsung turned the next Galaxy S into an iPhone clone. I have done a few screen repairs for friends iPhone 6's and had the opportunity to use those phones for a few hours just to see what they're like. I'm not impressed. I find an Android running Nova Prime to be more intuitive and easy to use. I don't get the attraction of a sleek and beautiful phone - they need to be in a bumper case - at that point they all look the same. For those who want to argue that - every screen repair I do is for phones used without a case.
Hey,
So I'm looking at tablets.
I tried a Galaxy Tab 10.1, and the wireless on it was awful, so I returned it.
Looked at the newest ipad, but it has no back button, which I find ridiculous, so no dice.
Was thinking of buying a Galaxy Tab S3, but I'm kind of worried about the wifi speeds, seeing as it's Samsung too, just like the Galaxy Tab 10.1.
Anyone who can tell me a bit more about this? I intend to be watching a lot of twitch on it, and I do not want to have it buffering every 30 seconds - as was the case with the 10.1 sometimes.
I have mine for 3 weeks now, and wifi is perfect from the start, no issues at all.
Your device/network must have been defective. I have absolutely no wifi related issues on my Tab S. Neither have I seen any other related complaints.
So far I have had zero wifi issues with my S3. Zero with my tab A 10.1 with spen either. The only reason I went to the S3 was toget a decent amount of storage built-In. The U.S. version of the Tab A only has 16G B after all.

I had mine for about 2 months now and I am experiencing drop outs might be once or twice a day, so the question for people who say they have no issues with it, do you guys play any online games on it, this is the most where u will notice. Cause if you surfing the internet or reading something it won't disrupt what you doing. I am connecting on 2.4 ghz and have my Nexus 6p and the nexus 9 before the Tab S3, never dropped the connection once. I am sure its Samsung firmware issue, cause I remember my misses had the same issues with her S4 and once I installed a custom rom this problem disappeared. Hopefully we can have some development for the tab S3 soon.
Wi-Fi on mine is balls out fast. Range is similar to my LG G6, which is also pretty good. No stability issues.
Hi all, i have s9+ SM-965F which is purchased from t-mobile and i'm comparing it to s9+ same model buyed from outside of EU but having same model number.
I tapped on both devices same apps like facebook, nfs no limits and mine is slower. Why anyone have idea?
Note apps where closed to load fresh not from memory. Also compared mine s8+ and mine is not performing good...
is it only me noticing this performance thing?
Same Issue
I am having the same issue with my T-Mobile S9+. I love the phone, but it will sometimes not load apps at all. I’ve gone into Safe Mode, deleted apps, and even wiped and started over. I thought I was the only one, but my friends S9 plus does the same thing. His friends Verizon S9 plus does not do that. My phone overall is a little slower in general. I reached out to T-Mobile and of course the robots reading scripts don’t really know anything. I love T-Mobile and the phone, but man, my iPhone 8 was so much faster, just a dumber phone.
It's bloat ware. You need to root it and remove very carefully those with titanium backup app
