I got the device on 15/11 and it's very frustrating that the device stutters a lot and battery drains fast. Updated the device and tried turned off most things i don't need but still can't fix the problem. Compared to the nexus 5 on lollipop i have, the phone is much more responsive, and the only setting different is that the phone does not have encryption. So i tried erasing everything and remove encryption, now the tab performs much better in terms of battery life and speed. This is especially obvious when browsing with chrome. Everything stock except rooted. Can others who still have this problem try and confirm the results?
Nope, no encryption- still not great performance. Likely just rebooting your tablet would have given you the same results. I would bet if you start doing the same things for a while, let ram fill up, CPU start getting hot and throttling, your issues will come right back.
Possible, but so far I have used for 1 whole day and still it's very responsive. Previously I have rebooted the device and the problem comes back in a few hours. If it's not encryption, perhaps it's the factory reset which works?

Very possible, clearing cache and rebooting. I'm not saying unencrypting does nothing at all, and it certainly doesn't HURT performance(besides in database and sqlite-encrypted tablets seem to do better at these actions). But I've had 3 nexus 9's, all without encryption and encrypted, and battery is bad either way. It hasn't gotten better when not encrypted on any of the 3- so its not device specific. Performance seems to be close either way, with a majority of the time being smooth(with occasional small stutters and lag), and then stints of horrible lag, stutters and redraws. The nexus 9 I have now has been running with no encryption for over a week, and I've certainly still had these performance problems and pretty horrible battery life while web browsing.

Hi all, I am wondering if anyone is experiencing this same issue. First I will say my phone is rooted and that is my only change to the device from a stock perspective. I am also only using Google apps at this time (except for XDA and BBC news).
The issue I am having is even out of the box and post rooting my device, the phone is stellar and is fluid and responsive. At around the 24 hour mark, usually when I wake up... The phone is laggy and has screen hiccups/stutters. A simple reboot and the issue is gone for another 24 hours. But will always come back.
I've looked at battery usage and nothing is out of the ordinary. I've looked at running processes via terminal and I can not come up with anything. During times of lag it seems the phone is near idle with regards to CPU and memory. Doesn't make sense.
Question is, is this a case of the bloat or is this a wide spread issue? Is there a way to diagnose this further?
The phone does lag and stutter. Some people say they don't experience it, others say they do.

Agreed, I'm just curious why it goes away after a reboot, then 24 hours later its back. It's almost like something is getting hung up or building up to where it begins to lag. The other thing I thought about was if it has something to do with the screen being off for x amount of hours and going into a lower fps/resolution/CPU, etc to save on battery. I saw that thread about battery saving feature and lowering fps. Would make some sense of it all. I'm hesitant to apply the workaround and keep a static 60fps.
About a week and a half ago, my battery went from draining ten percent in a typical day (hour to an hour and a balf of constant use, browsing Facebook, web, email - if I really went ham I might go down in the 80s) to easily closing in on the 50s if not more.
I've tried several factory resets, gotten the lollipop upgrade that just hit, removed apps, upgraded apps - nothing. I'm on stock and haven't had this phone more than a month. Android System is typically the worst offender for battery usage according to the settings monitor.
Please help. I was so impressed and now I'm at a loss.
If you've done factory resets, then I would say, factory reset again and stay on stock apps. Don't install anything else. Monitor what happens with your battery life. My guess is, if you have installed other apps since doing the factory reset, it's an app that is misbehaving, even though you see android system being the main culprit. More than likely, it could be an app that isn't releasing resources correctly or hasn't been updated to run correctly with LP. That usually points to a sign of improper programming, or they haven't update their app yet to perform correctly under LP.
If things are running fine on stock, start adding your apps back one by one. Install one app, leave it for a few days and see what happens. if battery life stays the same, then move onto the next app. Hopefully, you'll find the app that's giving you issues.
If even with just stock apps you are having the issue, then it might be a hardware issue, possibly even battery. But, if it's been working fine before the LP update, I highly doubt that. My best guess is it's a misbehaving app.
I'm still having problems with nothing else but stock apps, unfortunately. The problem started shortly before the update - does that support that it's more hardware or more software related? The phone is still fairly new and though I know that doesn't rule out a bad battery, still kinda hoping I don't have to deal with Verizon and getting a replacement.
Talked to Verizon, they said "we checked, battery's fine." So... guess its not the battery? They said it "could take a month to normalize after the update."
I would buy a replacement battery and install it, see if that helps. They are cheap and it's good to have one anyway. The Ankers come in a 2-pack with a nice universal wall charger.
Verizon is not even bothering to check really, are they ? Did they even loan you a replacement to prove to you it's not a bad battery ? Doubt it. Do it yourself.
It really sounds like you are having excessive battery drain due to a wakelock problem like with Google's update service. Check around here for threads about how to diagnose and mitigate that.

I didn't expect Verizon to help, but they definitely impressed with just how little they offered. I'm spending today with Wi-Fi and 4G off, unless browsing, for which I turn the latter on. In my half hour lunch I've noticed much, much better battery usage. Thoughts?
Edit: change of location seems to drain it quicker (school vs McDonalds parking lot - former worse than the latter). Signal was three bars in each, though.
I've looked a bit ino wakelocks but will read up on it more tonight. Problem I've found is how many detectors require root access, and I'm not real interested in rooting.
I just got my G3 last night and rooted it and did a few things to minimize battery drain and today, after almost 12 hours of light to moderate use my battery is still sitting at 81%.
Pretty sure there's a memory leak on stock vs985 lollipop... Or at least from what I had read and experienced
I've been dealing with small lags on this phone. I thought the sd 801 was plenty enough chip to power the minimal oxygen os. Anyways, I disabled shelf and its consistently very smooth now. Don't know if its just coincidence or not...but I had even tried clearing caches...factory resets. Turning the shelf feature if seems to have had the biggest effect on a consistently smooth performance.
Maybe it's just one day of using the phone but I have not faced this kind of issues before on Oreo ... The main difference that I am experience after updating to emui 9 is that touch response has become very instant and speed of opening apps for any links for anything has become as smooth as butter and very fast... I mean it's a same hardware but this new update made it very fast... Camera application has Master ai in it... Interface has changed notification panel has changed all the themes that were compatible with e m u i 8 they are not compatible anymore (3rd party) and phone is getting little bit hot from the upper half of the phone on the backside and the battery life which I was getting before.. it's is going down a bit quicker. the main improvement I think is only the speed of opening applications and stuff
mine isn't getting hot, well it is, but it is hot because im playing with the phone more trying to figure out what's changed
In my opinion battery drains much quicker. Before update I' had got 10h SOT, now it's only 7-9h
Same here. Battery consumption has gone up! If only I had known. It was great before, now it's average. Hmmmpf. The first day with Emui 9 was terrible!
I guess the ai isn't that intelligent or at least doesn't care to much about helping the battery...
Is there a way to downgrade? It sucks, first I couldn't wait to update and now I wish I never did..
From the old rom flashing days i can say that battery life should be much better after a few days
A factory reset might help too, but I see no difference in battery life but I only got it for a day so far
For everyone complaining. The software will take a few days to settle. Especially if you do just the update and not the full package download. Relax and let it settle
Since I have gotten the update I found my battery life is actually a little better, I'm getting about 30 minutes more of screen on time. Wireless desktop mode is amazing, the updated camera app with the master AI and the amazing night mode is vastly improved. I'm extremely happy, Emui 9 has made my mate 10 feel like a new phone again.

Did you perform a factory reset after updating?
Guys, once you update from one android version to another, always, always do a factory reset once you set the phone after the update. Making a backing takes less than 10 minutes, doing the factory reset takes around 10 minutes too and restoring all the data is even faster. So, I suggest you spend 30 additional minutes but to do it right.
I did a factory reset and still the phone was draining like crazy.. Couldn't get even 7 hours of SOT.. Even after about 3 days

Yes I did, I had a bunch of Emui 8 themes and wanted to start fresh.
After upgrade, I have also noticed that the phone is getting warm, even during light load like using the camera, gallery, surfing etc. but the situation is much better four days later. Battery life is still not good, 6-7 h SoT at the moment (9-10 h with EMUI 8).

Yes, I will also do a factory reset but without restoring all data because sometimes it restores problems too. I will restore only crucial apps like mobile banking.
Hi
Just now software updated my mate 10 to emui 9
The problem faced is, whenever I get a call and gets disconnected the fone gets shifted to vibrate mode automatically
And I receive msg as 'vibrate for calls and notifications
Can anyone guide why this is happening
I have had my Tab S3 for 3years now. Bought brand new from Amazon Prime Day.
Last night it just randomly slowed down and proceeded to a boot loop. Went on to boot to recovery and cleared cache and davlik cache. Still very very slow, CPU feels warm then reboot. Proceeded to factory reset still the same problem. Today I decided to flash latest stock firmware manually via odin still the same problem despite that.
Do you guys think the tablet is dying?
You can try flashing a custom ROM and see if it is better. Else, it could be running in it's last leg, which could be caused by a dying battery if the battery life is also short. And you could try replacing the battery.
Also install aida64 app in Google play and see if the CPU usage is normal.

Back is warm and the very slow than usual processing as evidenced by choppy annimation anr random reboots if the tab just can't take it. Could the dying battery just cause the thermal throttling? Couldn't even get my tablet to connect to the internet to download aida64. It'll just reboot.
Will apps crash or 'unfortunately has stopped' before reboot?
Also bad battery can cause severe problems on iPhones but for Android, I don't know.

No. It'll just reboot once it starts up on desktop. It runs very choppy and even when I'm not using it (no wifi, no auto-sync, no location), it reboots.
Are you on stock ROM?
Can you actually get it up and running for like 5 minutes, even if it lag like crap?
