I get lag and unresponsive touch controls after a few hours heavy use. It is resolved with a reboot. Not many 3 party apps installed. Is there a particular way to exit apps in android, I notice not every app has a exit option in it's menu.
Most annoying is when browsing the web and the screen can't determine if it should zoom or scroll.
I'm coming from WM6.5 so if there are some basics that apply to Android and are not phone specific, please point me to the right guide.

there's a task manager in the app list. should be able to close out whatever you want there. good luck
+1 to what he said. You must have every bloat app opened or something too because I have yet to have an issue.

Likely the issue. It will probably get better over time too, but the task manager is a good thing to use. Task KILLERS are bad though.
+1 again! lol I stopped using ATK after my X1.
My friend bought a droid and the person in the store installed it for him. That disappointed me.
I've noticed it too, mostly with ADW EX. This is my third Android phone so I'm not a noob. I'm about to return it and get nexus.

its funny that a phone that isnt out yet is the king of all phones with 0 issues. All hail the nexus, the most perfect phone to ever come out
oh whats that you say, its not out yet....
I am cant wait till the nexus comes out actaully and you start seing the exact same threads "CAN WE DISABLE THE SOFTKEYS SO WE CAN GET MORE SCREEN REALESTATE!!!!" OMG IM RETURNING THIS FOR THE REZOUND!!1!one!!!!"
You must have seen my thread! lol
Chill out guys, the phone gets better with more development, complaining about issues that can pretty easily be resolved with some Dev effort isn't going to get us the Dev effort we want. There is an issue thread, lets keep everything confined to that thread unless it is a question that hasn't been asked. That way, they can see what the issues are, and take action as they can.
like i post everywhere, especially on youtube (because youtube=full of haters)
Nexus fanboys have become as bad as Apple fanboys. period. they're JUST as bad now, and they're annoying as ****. whatever, let him return it and get a phone that's got no definitive release date. he can have fun with his boring, ugly stock android while we love our looks of sense.
I can say that I've had 0 issues with this phone whatsoever. Which is very surprising to me being that every phone that I've ever had always had something about it that I didn't like. I can't find anything with the rezound that I don't like. No lags, battery life is good, zippy, and the screen is amazing. I haven't used the task killer as of yet and I don't think I'm gonna have to. Not trying to sound like a fanboy but it is what it is.

I think I figured it out, in the afternoon I plug the phone in to charge so it will be fully charged by the time I get off work. At that time is when I was experiencing instability. What I found the cause to be is a cheapo usb cable. Anytime I try to use the phone with that cable plugged in it would exhibit instability and a jumpy screen. It would stop immediately after I unplug the usb cable. Never had this type of problem with a cable before, I've had phones not charge because of loose fitting cables but never had a cable screw the phone up like that.

if you are plugged in, check your usb power adapter
I usually change batteries often enough on my tbolt that it isn't a problem, but I like system panel app's widget to kill all. If my phone starts to bog down, just hit it on the home screen and everything gets cleared. You can set a list of apps for it to ignore as well.
As far as nexus fanboys, yeah they are getting bad and tech bloggers are the worst. Reviews of the nexus have actually been pretty middle of the road. Engadget said that it is not as smooth as GB (ICS) and the camera was disappointing. You also can't mount your storage to usb to transfer files and the screen has some amoled issues, esp. with brightness turned down.
I'm definitely favoring the rezound, but will wait till I can score one on Craigslist for about 300.
So I've had my DNA for about 3 hours. Messing with camera screen went black and phone froze had to reboot. Now messing with Netflix same thing only didn't have to reboot. Anyone else seeing any issues like this?

I've had my phone since release day and it hasn't had a single hiccup, let alone any kind of freeze or blank screen. This is definitely not normal.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
Can't say I've seen that. What all do you have installed?
Not much installed. Just what came on it right now plus about 3-4 more apps mostly forum apps. If it continues I am going to return it.
I should add the camera lockup was using the front facing camera with the smile detection option enabled. It acted like it was going to shoot and I moved it then it just went black and I had to reboot.
Just did Netflix again and black screen like it just doesn't want to load.

Mine does freeze quite often when I am using the stock Sense photo editor...and when it doesn't freeze, it just lags constantly.

me too..
Had mine since launch and have only seen this once - yesterday while using Handcent.
Haven't been able to reproduce camera freezing however Netflix still shows just a black screen quite often. Force stopping through settings fixes it. Tempted to think its an app problem not a phone problem.

guys, this camera screen freeze.. does the screen fade out to black? i get that problem when clicking the gallery icon after taking a picture sometimes... but I just shut the screen off and turn it back on and it's fine.

Hi,
my wife got the DNA, since I'm very happy with my GNex and all the fine ROM's I was able to test drive.
Now I was not planning to do anything to the DNA, since it becomes my issue at that very moment, when anything weird is happening to the wife's DNA. Some may relate...
For the past week or so she has been complaining that the phones hangs for 10-30 seconds in various applications.
- Words with Friends, in app, just dragging a letter onto the board
- Messages, just opening a particular thread
- Settings, opening different menus within settings, like apps or even About
- Home Screen, swiping to the left or right... you have to wait until it moves, sometimes you see it kind of inching to the left or right...
- other places throughout the phone
Now the phone is operating mainly in Wifi mode when she is around the house, due to the preservation of data in my share everything plan.
When she operates the phone from the kitchen, she is borderline reception, even so the DNA shows 1-2 bars of wifi. By the way a lot better then any other phone I have had, even my old trusty DroidX, which I thought had the best reception (wifi) of all.
This behavior is not 100% reproducible and I can't really get the exact analysis data from my wife, when she is already frustrated... Also I don't know a lot about Sense and wonder if that might be the issue.
Just now reading a little here to see if there are already custom ROM's out there either addressing the issue or getting rid of Sense all together and making the DNA more a natural Android 4.2 phone.
Help!
Thanks

If I were you I'd take that phone back to Verizon. None of that should be happening.
It maybe there is a rogue app causing it. But I've never had it hang, ever.

Hello,
I got my galaxy s3 for a little over 5 months now. About 3 months ago this started to happen:
/watch?v=yck3t4-tDDA (youtube vid, can't post links yet)
This clicking noise and the loose home button (end of vid) is bothering me quite a bit. I was thinking
to go to the store and ask what they think about it, however i'm aware that if i can get the phone replaced
the new one may even be worse ( screen problems, overheating, short battery life, etc). So i thought i'll ask
it here first , what do you guys think and do some of you have the same problem?
Thx in advance!:good:

I also think that the home button becomes loose
Plus the power button becomes loose,too

Hmmm, maybe then its just normal ...Anyway then I just have to hope the home button won't fall out my phone
It isn't normal, mine doesn't have that issue. (6 months)
Go back to the store. And look if you can get a new one. I think they will send it to a samsung repair center.

I want to go back but the problem is that the button is working fine and gives me a satisfy click. As well my s3 is awesome in every other way: very long battery life, phone is not getting hot, etc. I think i will contact the customer service first. I will let you guys know.
i think it is normal, my brand new white also clicks when you hit it like than, and also it is a bit loose when sliding up and down. but it works perfectly and i wouldnt even notice this if i didnt watched your video
I need an extra push, I'm hoping to find it here.
I'm coming from a Galaxy S2. There are two things I will have to live without, can anyone tell me if I should be worried?
1. The lack of a menu and search button.
2. Not having the ability to take out the battery.
On another note, I was wondering if someone could confirm if it's possible to remove the HTC Sense? The first thing I plan on doing is rooting it and removing basically any software HTC and AT&T add. One other question.. does anyone know if the IR can be setup to use custom commands, or if that's something we have to wait for developers?
I don't have much to add on here except the search button is so two years ago. No need to have that button there with the advent of long pressing and double tapping.

Most people that cry about batteries are usually closet Samsung fanboys. The ability to "take out the battery" is a bit overrated. Sorry but I don't have any need to add a brick to the back of my phone just so I can show off some "amazing battery stats"

Actually it's nice to have a search button where if I'm in the app drawer I can tap that and search for an app. Or if I'm on the home screen it opens google now. Or on a browser, it's a quick search button. You get the idea. What's the alternative now? How do you open Google Now or search for apps quickly?

I hate the way the S4 looks, and the S3. The huge rounded corners are a big turn off. I would end up getting that if I can't put up with the limitations the one has to offer.

Actually, I don't care about that.. I can optimize android to get what I need out of it. But I do like the ability to replace it if it dies or degrades in performance in a year from now, or say.. my phone is frozen, taking out the battery is often the fastest way to turn the damn thing off. Most of my stuff is in the cloud now, so I don't see me needing to replace my SD card. But it has occationally come in handy when I want to just pop it into my laptop to transfer some large files. I'm going to miss that.
I'm usually a Samsung guy but the one is amazing. We complain about the battery being no good over time and needing the ability to swap out. However, we get the next best thing after a year or so of use then sell the current device. The one is good. I haven't even rooted yet. I can wait until we get a stock RUU.

If I have any issues with the battery I am calling Squaretrade and getting a replacement. That's the great thing about having insurance even though I am not even sure If I will be using this device for the full 2 years. Also, if you hold the power button down for 10 seconds its just like pulling the battery, but much faster.
I came from having a Galaxy SIII on Verizon, switched to ATT with a Galaxy SII Skyrocket and am now a happy camper with my One. The biggest hurdle was getting over not having the same capacitive buttons and how much faster the One is.
By no means am I a heavy user but I am sitting here with 60% battery going on just over 8 hours.
Lol I love being to put a beastly 7000 mah battery in my phone to get 3 days of battery. But if I can't, it isn't that big of a deal. Btw I'm not a Samsung fan boy, I'm a fan of whatever is the best.

On a custom rom you can map the other buttons to do a menu and maybe even a search (I'm not sure)
Holding power+vol up and down simulates pulling the battery
Right now there is not a way to remove sense, you can use 3rd party launchers for now. They are working on pure android ROMs and development will be GREAT on this device. I have owned a S2 and played with the One and the One is SWEET. (I'm still waiting for my black to arrive). I have a HTC One XL and think it is MUCH better than my S2. Just get it, You will love it. Or wait for development to grow a little to give you all those features
Hello,
I have been using my Note 7 since release and I have notice some strange lag that I have not been in quite a while, this usually happens after the phone is on standby for a while. This is really annoying because something I just want to check something my phone is like a toaster for 5 seconds to unlock I'm like wth is this and even dropped frames during unlock, after that I have to close all application and it will come back to normal after a new minutes. I am not sure how many people may comment since a lot Note users have returned their, I just wanted to know if I was the only one.
