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

Hello Xda,
I started with a G1 and lived with it for awhile. It became too slow to do simple tasks, as well as the wi-fi boards kept dying (changed it a few times.) Afterwards, I got a Qliq Xt hand me down. It works well, except it came with Android 1.5 with no way of upgrading, so I rooted it. The only decent, full working rom I have been able to use is Cm7. The phone is solid, and the rom is good, but even over clocked the lag from doing tasks like switching applications and typing bother me. Some times I can't figure out a good processor speed to avoid boot loops, since it has even happened at 528 MHz.
Now, as far as a phone to upgrade to I would like any suggestions. I have always wanted a G2, but the used price point seems to never drop bellow $200. Recently my brother and mom both bought the Samsung Exhibit II 4G, and they are pretty fast. I don't care for the 4G, or for playing games though. I just want a phone that can laglessly type and run certain applications.
LIke I mentioned before, the G2 was my first choice, but because the Samsung Exhibit II 4G is far newer and costs the same brand new ($200 from wallmart) I'm probbably going to slide with the SEII. The only point the G2 has right now is the hardware keyboard, which I bought the G1 for in the first place. Any phone suggestions?
A month ago I lost a brand spanking new Galaxy S4 i9500 :crying: (oh how I wish I knew about Wheres My Droid before that happened)
Dying of smartphone withdrawal and short on money, I went to the nearest smartphone shop in Hong Kong and, after much self-debating, bought what appears to be a Bluebo B9500: a 99% S4 lookalike
https://www.google.com.hk/search?q=...lla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&gws_rd=cr
After nearly a month of use I can say I'm VERY satisfied with this device for the price (less than $200): it runs everything I care to throw at it (which is not much, but enough for me) as quickly or even quicker than the S4 with WanamLite Rom I was running. It looks and feels almost exactly like the S4 from inside out, except for all its bloatware. It's got more RAM available on startup and during use in stock configuration than the S4 after a dozen tweaks with freezing bloat apps. It comes pre-rooted with SuperSU. :laugh: And most importantly, it runs Viper4Android flawlessly, just like the S4 :laugh:

The only big drawback, apart from some quirks you can't help but expect at the price, is lack of support--anywhere! There are no devs for this phone on xda, obviously; but there's not even a company website I can turn to for official firmware downloads, and updates are obviously out of the question. I'm very happy with the OS as of now, but what will it be like in a year's time? I suppose I should take nandroid backups? Titanium backups? etc. I'm still fuzzy on what exactly a nandroid backup is and what it backs up...
Basically, what would you do to keep my unsupported device trucking along well for as long as possible if you were in my shoes?
Hi everyone!
I bought an LG G5 about 3 weeks ago. I was coming from a Xiaomi mi5 (that I loved! But had signal problems in the States) and the LG G5 feels like a single core 512mb of RAM phone. Using the LG launcher it was so laggy scrolling pages, so I switched to Nova launcher and now at least the launcher feels better. The problem is that everything else sucks. Even just using chrome is so painful, scrolling long webpages is not smooth at all, same thing happens scrolling my phone's settings or any other app. Sometimes it seems a little better but after some hard use and some apps opened it starts lagging like crazy and it even freezes. The performance of this phone is awful and I haven't had such a low performance phone in years. Also it gets really hot with normal use. So this is all very weird to me and I'm wondering if there's a problem with my device or if a factory reset could solve my problems. As I got the phone I updated it to Nougat but didn't do any factory reset (since it was brand new and nothing was installed yet). Do you guys think that could be affecting it? How is your phone acting? Is the LG G5 such a crappy, slow and laggy phone or I'm experiencing something abnormal?
Thank you to everyone who will answer this post and try to help!
I just bought an RS988 G5 last week too. I updated to Nougat (21b) and did a factory reset (really wish there was a simple clear system cache option in the recovery).
Anyway, I have not experienced much lag at all. In fact, it is noticeably smoother than my S7. Also, mine doesn't get very warm unless I do heavy tasks like gaming.
I'm actually quite pleased with the G5. Compared to the S7, my only issues are the build quality is definitely a step back. And the software support (from both LG and third-party) is rather weak, especially for our model.
Other than that, I'm pretty happy with the performance, battery life and camera. I'm getting ~20-30min more SoT than my 1-year old S7. Even aesthetically it's not as bad as it is in videos/photos (I have the titan version)... looks much better in person.
Is that your device is a original product? Not buy from those china store? Nowadays have alot of fake phone. I scare that the phone is not G5.
Another thing, between this 3 weeks, do you install any apps?

Thank you for answering! So from what I understand your phone doesn't lag and it's not slow. I think I'll try a factory reset cause the phone I'm using doesn't feel like a flagship at all

Thank you for answering! I'm sure my phone is an LG G5 original. I bought it from a physical store (Best Buy) and I doubt it's a fake. In these 3 weeks I installed the regular apps that I had in my Mi5 and that didn't affect it at all. I don't think it's because of the apps and if it is then I don't know what to do cause I regularly use all of them and I need them
Does anyone expect the S9/S9+ to go through a honeymoon phase and become standard Samsung: lag and micro-stutters? I am not sure if I can trust Samsung's software, but damn that hardware is amazing.

No lag here
No lag on mine. Works the same as my S8+.
It works better than s8 with filled ram. It is almost as fluid and fast as pixel 2 and U11 plus.
I had the S7 Edge and even after 2 years I never had lag. The only difference I noticed was the battery wasn't lasting as long, but that's expected.

Is that because of the Exynos processor and how Samsung optimizes their devices better to deal with their own proprietary SoC? I had issues with the S7 lagging with the Snapdragon model. I sold my old one off to my friend and he had to put nova launcher to get rid of the main lag.

It's Exynos yes. Also, I always use Nova so if the lag is with Touchwiz, I wouldn't know.

Ah, that explains why because many probably do that to avoid possible lag with Touchwiz/Samsung Experience. I am contemplating going with a Pixel 2 now vs waiting for the S9+ Snapdragon model to drop in price. If I get the Pixel 2, I am looking to get the Pixel 3 later on too.
No lag here butter smooth on my exynos version,coming from s8+,one plus 5/5t, Huawei mate 10 pro.
Feels really nice and snappy

My S9 plus is running smoothly.
I have had the S9+ for a couple of days and unfortunately, I am experiencing the classic Samsung Lag (TM). One the first day, the phone was smooth as butter but as days went by, I started to experience UI jitters and micro-stutters everywhere. I uninstalled a few apps here and there, removed Samsung Pay from the home screen, deleted bxActions which might be causing the issue, etc., but nothing seems to help. Others report that their phone is lag free which confuses me to no end.
I was burned by Samsung with the S3 and swore to myself to never return. But i decided to give the S9+ a try because of the hardware, and I am super disappointed by this. I might try and reset the phone but I doubt it will help.
no issues with mine, butter smooth. running for a week, with all my software installed. bloatware uninstalled/ disabled.

I've read other forums to do a factory reset. disable the Samsung apps you don't use. try that. it might help.

I did a factory reset before setting up the device, and transferred SMS'es, photos and call history from my old phone (OnePlus5). I even performed the 'wipe cache partition' which seemed to have helped but there is still a persistent micro-stutter almost everywhere. I am contemplating a factory reset but i am not sure if it will help.
Would it be too much to ask u to record a video of you going through normal apps on your phone, just to judge the smoothness on your end?

Unlock developer options and change these three things to .5 instead of 1
I'm with some on here with the scare of lag down the road. I have jump on demand so I'm not too worried about it. My s8+ lasted about a month before it started lagging and my note 8 which I still have has lag which started about a month after purchase.
But so far this phone is so fluid and fast I haven't even thought about my oneplus 5t at all and currently thinking about selling it. If this phone keeps this up I might finally be a happy Samsung fan since the note 2.
I know I'm extremely happy with night photos too.

Software doesn't "degenerate," neither does the hardware. It either works or it doesn't. No in between with computers.
If it slows down, that's your fault, not Samsung. The reason why it may "slow down over time" is because of you playing around with settings, messing around with package disablers (pro tip: this does absolutely nothing to help the battery/performance, it makes it worse), or you download ****ty apps over time.
AP actually mentioned this in the S9/S9+. It looks like with Samsung Experience 9, Samsung has sort of neutered the lag beast -- it started with the Note 8 which, apparently, is still snappy months later. So they're saying there's hope that the improved performance should persist through the S9 series. Here's what they said exactly:
"The Galaxy S9 is the first phone on sale to use Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 845 chipset, and as such, all eyes will be on it to see how the new silicon fares. (As a side note, we don’t have the international Exynos variant, and while that new chip does benchmark insanely well, there remain major questions about its real-world performance chops.)
My experience with the Galaxy S9 in the first week of use has been quite good in regard to performance. Of course, anyone who’s used a Samsung phone in recent years might tell you that while the phones are fast out of the box, that feeling tends to fade considerably with time - and I still found that true of the Galaxy S8. But it seems Samsung may be turning over a new leaf, according to our senior editor Ryan Whitwam, starting with the Note8: that phone has remained fast in the months since he started using it, and I’ve seen few long-term performance complaints on the web.
The S9 is already noticeably snappier than even a brand-new Galaxy S8 or Note8, and so I’m hoping that Samsung’s reputation for slowdown over time is one that we can finally get past. I’ll continue using the S9+ for a while after this review just to see how it ages."

The game changer here aside from a slightly more efficient CPU, is the fact that the s9+ has 6GB of RAM. That's gonna be the difference over all on performance. Right now I haven't messed with transitions (in developer options) or done any of the "Optimizations" normally recommended for a Samsung phone and it is lightning fast. I have the Snapdragon version too, not the Exynos. But it's definitely noticeably faster and I had the S8+.
Coming from note 8 this phone is running even more smoothly than my note 8. It's like butter!
I'm strongly leaning on getting the s9+ from At&t. The only problem is that it has a locked bootloader. I've been on the flashaholic routine ever since my first android phone (htc OneX). Should I just purchase the At&t version and probably never get root/custom ROM ever? Purchasing the unlocked version would still be affected since it's the snapdragon version. Would that version (SM-G965U) have s better chance of getting root etc in the future, or is the snapdragon s9+ just locked down?
Hi all, after using for 3 years my trusty Moto G5 plus decided to purchase 7 pro, UK version, using it for a week now. My first Realme phone, good specs. for a mid ranger, was very excited and it ticks all the right boxes for my daily use but there is one, my opinion major issue and Realme needs to address it. All the same apps downloaded to the new phone as I was using in my Moto phone, from day one I have occasional and completely random hang-ups of the phone, it can be any random action, browsing through the settings, opening any random app, once it froze on me even during phone unlock. It becomes completely unusable for about 30 seconds or more, cannot go back or go to the home screen, it just completely locks up. And of course I tried restarting the phone, clearing recent apps, I even re-installed latest build update file from Realme website (RMX2170EU_11_A.26). I also ran benchmark apps like Antutu and Geekbench 5, getting similar results as other user tests.
No difference. It happens every day and it can happen more than once, all random. With much higher specs than my old Moto phone (8GB RAM vs 4GB on Moto, faster CPU, Android 10 vs Oreo...) I did not expect that at all and I think it is not acceptable for this behavior for a brand new phone.
I am thinking of returning the phone unless someone out there has a solution for this, I would really appreciate it as otherwise I like the phone an I would like to keep it. Thanks.
Looks like some unoptimized app is causing lag in background, check assecibility service disable which you don't use. Check battery what are the apps draining

Hi Visma_2011, did you manage to figure out what caused the issue on your phone? I'm having similar issues with my Realme 7 Pro. And I also migrated all my apps from my previous phone so it is difficult to know exactly which one might be the culprit, if any.
Curious to know if you had your issues resolved.
Hello PakkaZA,
Sorry to hear that, I really wanted to like the Realme phone, and I did like most of the things about it, I would have used it for two or three years but no matter what I've tried, nothing worked and I eventually I gave up and sent the phone back to Amazon for a refund.
Went back to using Moto phone ,not the old one but bough myself a Moto G 5G plus. It has a better chip set (Snapdragon 765), but I think the main reason Realme kept locking up because of their clunky UI, Moto phones are near stock (Vanilla) android and very little of their own gestures and stuff, of which I am a big fan and never had an issue with freezing so far. And I am using same apps as before....I am just surprised that very little users have similar experience as us, it might be that only some phones are somewhat faulty?
Hopefully you will a solution. Good luck .
I have the same issue as you, for me when phone does apps updates through google play store, the phone hang up. my model is the indian Realme 7 PRO with android 10
