Has anyone else noticed this? I swear my HTC One was the smoothest, lag free phone I have ever owned.. yet ever since the 4.3 update scrolling is choppy, touch screen is waaay less responsive, I've even had the browser freeze up quite a few times.
This is after a Factory Data Reset, which I always do when I upgrade firmware.
Very disappointed. Actually, pissed. Gonna FDR again to see if it helps.
Anyone else noticed this?
Ok so I FDR again and it seems to be perfect (so far)
Maybe something didn't quite clear out on the last reset.. it's happened before on my GS3 when I used to flash a ton of ROMs. Just not used to it happening with stock
Haven't finished setting up the phone yet, so we will see.
I'm experiencing the same issue right now. Did the FDR work for you?
Yeah it worked

Not sure what you mean. You can navigate using Google maps, it is built in with voice navigation. I use Google Now to start navigating.
Hey guys!!
Just got my S6 Edge and loving everything about it so far except...
My Ok Google anywhere isn't working. It's not even presenting me an option to turn it on. Also "enable audio history" option is missing which I know is necessary to get it all working.
I have done a factory reset, enabled and disabled S Voice, primary language English US, and deleted app data etc! I am running a stock Telus Samsunf S edge. I don't know if it's firmware dependent or not.
If anyone can suggest anything else, I'm all ears!!
Thanks in advance!

Looks like they removed it I had it yesterday now it's gone there was a update last night
Ah, that's a shame. At least I'm not the only one!!
Hope they come to their senses and come out with an update to enable it again!
Yep was there yesterday and gone now.
Perhaps it was sucking too much battery? Can't say I really used it that much but it was a cool feature. Will just have to press and hold home button to use it! A bit of a pain!
Found a work around for now...
Using an app called "Now Gesture Tweaks" which allows me to press and hold the home button to activate Voice Search and Nova Launcher gesture "Swipe Up" for Google.
Gives us a similar effect.
voice your disapproval: @S6NoOKGoogle https://twitter.com/S6NoOKGoogle
Don't you guys have "google settings" in your app drawer? All "OK Google" settings are right there.
EDIT: My bad.. deep down to the detection settings, it is gone!! How!? So is this Samsung's fault or Google's fault?
Yup. It's global and it's just all the variants of the S6 & S6 Edge. Some Nexus devices seem to be broken but still have their options.

I used it on a regular daily basis. Very frustrating for them to pull it without notice...
What is even more frustrating is that neither Google or Samsung is taking the heat for this,,,both are referring us to each other LOL,,,classic tactic.

Unfortunately same, not working.
It doesn't work on my Note 2, my wife's S3, and even my coworker's Walmart Alcatel phone alll running Kitkat and all did the latest update.
Its a bigger issue and Google doesn't seem to be too concerned
I got an update yesterday and it is working now, well at least from the homescreen.
Sprint S6 Edge w/Nova Launcher, OK Google works from any screen.
Does the widget need to be on the home screen for it to work
Sent from my SM-G925F using XDA Free mobile app
Not for me
Wow, just realized I don't need the widget at all for hotword to work. Cool
supposedly the 5.1.1 update will bring the OK Google functionality back.
Is your S-Voice App activated? Or did you disable that? I've read that either having it on or off might enable OK GOOGLE from any screen to work.

I use Chrome mainly, but any browser I think will have ads with no root yet on the V30 on U.S. carriers. What app is there that will prevent ads flooding the browser page ?
Ghostery browser incidentally prevents most ads, as a side effect of blocking trackers.
It is pretty basic, but runs fast. My only gripe is that it does not provide any way to sort bookmarks. It also breaks some images and other things that are entwined with trackers, but I accept that as a cost of blocking the trackers.
And the number of trackers blocked is astounding. A real eye opener. The Borg tentacles are many. Cutting them off is a visceral pleasure.

Most browser will have a ad blocker or extensions to add adblocker. I personally use samsung interney beta and use a adblocker extensjon. No ads,. The only browser i have seen which doesnt block ads is chrome. If u MUST use chrome then i recommend to search one of those chrome base browser like chromio or one i just downloaded BROMITE. Is a hack version of chrome which disable all ads withing browser.
I
Adguard
There are three relative popular ones Adguard, DNS66 and Blockada. Adguard is pay for premium features. I personally use Blockada as it comes with more features than DNS66 and don't really like Adguard despite its popularity due to its pay for features.
I use Firefox with uBlock
I use Samsung internet beta browser with Unicorn.

There are many adblockers that work pretty well with Chrome (and other apps) without rooting the phone. To my knowledge: DNS66, Blokada, Block This, Seven, Adguard. Of course you won't find any of them on Google Play...
The all filter traffic through a local VPN on your phone. I use Adguard, because I paid long ago for a lifetime license, but if you just want to filter ads in Chrome, it's free.

Do adblock apps cause any lags? Since they're constantly blocking ads, they are constantly active in the background. How much ram are they consuming?

I've been using Adclear for a few weeks now, and I've noticed a very minimal battery impact. Mostly about 1-2% at the end of the day. More so, I got frustrated with the very slow speeds. It worked, but sometimes web pages would take on the order of 30 seconds to load....

I've been using Adblock Fast with Samsung Internet for several years. I have yet to notice any negative affect on battery or browsing.
Blockada and DNS666 can't work for me. I tried them both, installed them, but they both won't activate.
- Blockada = Says no internet connection, and wouldn't actually turn on. I am on WiFi mode only, I did not put my SIM in this new phone yet. I uninstalled it, rebooted, and installed a different version. Same thing.
- DNS666 = I install it, and refresh the hosts right away, then press start., and it would force close. I deleted it, and tried again, same thing, when I press Start it would force close.
- So I went to the AdGuard route, I downloaded the latest 7.0 Samsung Internet Browser .apk, and there's ZERO ads now, and I have to say WOW the Samsung browser is super nice, really good stuff. ( I have been hearing from other people it's the #1 best Android browser this year, and I LOL'd at that, but man they're actually telling the truth ) it rocks.

Blockada was experiencing issues earlier. Mine turned off and wouldn't turn on while on data.
Yeah, I use Unicorn on the Samsung browser. I think it does the job.

Has anyone has had good luck using the mini view feature under Settings/Display/More. I got it to work once in the two months I've owned the phone. I have the display set to default 2880x1440. Is it me not knowing how to swipe or does this just not work very well?
Works fine for me. But yes, you have to practice the right swipe a few times ?
Go to Settings -> Accessibility -> Services
Check is all off
When I have Norton on mini view not working.

I had the same issue. I turned off Amazon assistant and now it works.
Mini View Not working on LG G7
It is simply a matter of swiping VERY quickly

This feature wasn't working for me, but I figured out what was doing it. In my case it was LastPass, the accessibility being turned on under services in settings was the culprit. If you turn it off it works you turn it on it doesn't.

Last Pass has caused other problems too. A lot of people had to ditch it. Causes lots of lag. There was even a thread about it, besides comments in other threads when this phone was first released last year.
This phone is super smooth. When people complain they have lag, I always think "Are they perhaps using Last Pass?" Or either they disabled stuff that then causes lag.

I do not recommend though, I've tested it a bit, and in terms of apps you can't really install much, since most of the apps install but the crash right after XD.
Now seriously if this is your main device i don't recommend it, Bluetooth stops working sometimes and it's not stable when connected to sound stuff...No stable music no good
Plus there's some settings issues, nfc works well tho, play services sometimes stop, i don't recommend restoring from cloud or a local backup otherwise It will have serious problems
like play services rebooting XD

so, i just tried it for a few hours. way more fluid than stock. no problems so far.
all you need for it to work without FCs is to NOT restore a backup from the cloud
I couldn´t make phh superuser work. the camera is not as good as EMUI (as expected). fingerprint gestures are enabled. swipe to recent. tap to go back. long press to go home.
Excellent performance. Multicore is almost the same as my LG G5

Sorry, I misspelled
Off late I had installed it.. AOSP, LOS and RR... all three of them and all of them booted very well.
On LOS I had flashed Gapps and Su as well and all worked well too.
Performance is really very good and I had not faced any FCs. All google apps worked well too...
The only thing I didn't like was the status bar.. Its not really optimized or tuned for the Notch and there is no option to get rid of the notch the way you can in EMUI.
The status bar with looks ugly and takes away the fun to use it phone.
Camera on the other hand is not so good and lacks the features of EMUI... e.g. beauty mode, color filters, editing, bokeh effect, etc.. etc.. and made me dissatisfied.
I am hoping that soon we will have a special tuned version for P20 Lite and holding reflashing till that time.
Hope it helps to the new flashers to make up their mind
Thanks
has anyone made google play to download apps ??
