I got tab s3 days ago. It ran android 9 but since it was so laggy I decided to go back to Oreo but it does not seem to help. It is even laggy when I pull down the status bar, like a phone with 2gb of ram in 2019. I tried a hard reset, revert back to Oreo and wipe /cache in default recovery but nothing helps. Any suggestions for me guys I don't know what's happening with my tablet. Plus that Knox counter has not been tripped yet, Antutu score is 136594 (I find it normal) and it's still water-resistant. Thank you
Yes, this tablet lags as hell. I sold it due to this problem
It's like that since the Pie update. I'm considering a rollback or perhaps a custom ROM if available. Some research must be done. Very disappointing. :/
Install galaxy labs and app booster plugin. It will optimize the apps and your tab forsure function better.

Thx, I was reading reviews on sammobile.com and there are indeed comments that these applications have helped a lot and the tablet is lag free and smooth. ? Have to try.

Finally my tab s3 becomes snappier! but dont get me wrong lags still there but lessen a bit... stock andriod Pie.... wanna say thanks buddy! just bought this at amazon 3 days ago for $300.. dont know if ill exchange it for s4 add $200 but thats too much i think.
Interesting, my tab s3 lags a lot too. I originally got this for study (Paramedic school) and for jogging with. Hasn't quite worked out for me yet, but I'm hoping sai444's input will help here. Maybe a rollback too? Still have to research what Galaxy labs an d app booster are lol.
hmmmm, are you sure (as of Nov 2019) that this isn't just the built in device care? My device care says 100% optimised but I know that to be a bit false. Sure the device is relatively healthy but like this title suggests it behaves more like a device with 2GB. I guess a factory reset (again) and just limit the apps I use.
I installed Galaxy Labs from APK Mirror to my Tab S3 and then tried clicking on App Booster. It says the content is not compatible with my tablet. The same message is displayed when I tried the other options.
Anyone else encounter this?

Please could you detail the process using titaniumB? My Tab S3 constantly freezes/lags and returns "System UI is not responding-Close or wait (as options)". It's so frustrating.
What apps are considered bloatware??
Well, in TB you have the option to froze any app, if something is broken you can unfroze.
There are others apps that can do this too.
You can search for lists in the internet of bloatware in samsung devices, but you can start searching in the TB for samsung, then all the samsung stuff will be shown, then you can start freezing.
Freeze a few things(try to search what that package is) then restart. If something is wrong unfroze some, reboot and check.
It takes time.

App Now On App Store
I have paid Google and have posted this app on the Play Store. I have also been at work on a new version that will incorporate a more complete UI (easy to be more complete that what is in this version), scheduled operations, and the ability to toggle auto-rotate as well as dominant hand (as some sources claim this helps with issues related to landscape versus portrait mode). Thanks to all for your feedback as this has encouraged me to go further!

Well that sounds unpleasant. Can I ask a few follow-ups? Did your phone prompt you to grant root access to Reset Spen? If so, did you grant it? Is your phone completely stock other than being rooted (for example, any kernel changes)? Finally (at least for now), what su program and version is installed on your phone? Thanks for your help with this.

Thanks for the info and screen shots. Right now I am stumped. Same su and settings as my Note N7000 but I have only ICS 4.0.4. I have a couple response from (what I assume to be and have emailed to confirm are) other Note II users (see one in this thread) and they have not encountered this. I will be following-up and apologize for the hangs.
Just tested it on the official MIUI rom based on touchwiz. App does its job but after the notification that the s-pen has been reset the launcher (stock MIUI home) freezes for like 15sec.
I'm not really bothered by this so i would say great job on this :thumbup:

Yikes! I appreciate the positive comments but I am not at all happy about this freeze. Can you tell me what su program/version is being used? When my app runs the first time, are you prompted by su to give permission (I presume so since you are getting a success)? Is there any message displayed from the su app or anything in the su app's logs? Anything in logcat?
Thanks
i'm not sure that this is what you need, but here's my catlog

Thanks Promi! Unfortunately, I see no log entries from my app in that file. Did you try running the app (and enduring the freeze issue) which this was being recorded? I assume you did but since I see no evidence, I had best confirm this. I appreciate your time and help with all this and apologize for the problem.
So this is achieved, effectively, by toggling the dominant hand for the S Pen? How curious, very helpful! Doing so seems to have made a difference to my slightly less sensitive right hand margin.

Thanks once again. In the logcat recording, the only thing I see that looks possibly bad is a NullPointerException coming from the package com.sec.android.widgetapp.ap.hero.accuweather.widget.WeatherClock which I take to be some form of widget on your home screen. When, in development of my app (my first one), my poor programming resulted in a NullPointerException this resulted in freezes followed by program stopped messages. I am not blaming anyone/thing. But I am wondering if there may not be some bad interaction between my app and this widget that causes it to NullPointerException? Is it possible to remove this widget temporarily and try again to see if the problem persists and, if so, get another catlog? Thanks!
My only weather widget is stock samsung nature ux weather/clock widget
After removing it, touchwiz still hangs.
i will remove unneeded things from my desktop/phone and try gen new catlog.

Well, I am likely grasping at straws here. But that is all I saw in the catlog that was untoward. The fact that I see nothing from my app in there is very disconcerting and confusing. Thanks again for all your time and help.
Reset Spen Pro Now Available
A low priced version of this app is now available on the Play Market. It offers additional convenience and other features including scheduled background operation and suppression of success messages. If the free version works on your device, I hope you will consider the Pro version. Thanks!
Without the availability or customs roms and kernels, are there any reasons to root a Galaxy Tab S3? Which bloatware have you uninstalled in your GTS3 after rooting?
I normally install custom roms and kernels for the improved battery life and overall performance improvement that many of these roms offer.

I agree, I went back to not rooted and pray for OTA updates, even it's naive
If i ever going to root, one of the main factor would be for GMD gestures. Couple of finger swipes to close apps, lock screen, switch apps adds tremendous amount of button freedom and control.
I'm going to rooting to get complete control of memory (internal and SD) and app authorizations...

Not with ADB. You'll need an app like titanium backup or adaway for ad blocking. But both need root. But you're correct, getting netflix to work is a little bit of a pita.

I had the pro version for free as a special offer on galacy apps for my s7 edge but when I moved to the note 8 it didnt work and i uninstalled the app. I wanted to install agaim bit haf to pay the 22 eur to have it back. As i restored the note to factory settings and restired all my apps from samsung cloud, i managed to restore disconnect pro as well and just updated from Galaxy apps. No charge!
Hope this helps some of you.
I do have PIA vpn and someone mentioned Disconnect Pro is based on Knox. Is it ok to run both? Or Disconnect suffice? Reason I asked after I head over to their website and it says VPN so yeah I am confused here lol.

It's not like adaway. It would be better if you get info from there website.It blocks ad trackers. In my opinion it does a great job of stopping ads coming through and no permanent notification showing all the time. Also disconnect pro uses Knox not vpn
I wanted to wait before responding to make sure there weren't any issues that popped up later. I'm happy to say that Disconnect Pro is working well. No battery drain (Knox based), you should be able to use a VPN with it.
If you bought it or got it for free with the S7Edge, just make sure you're signed into the Galaxy Apps Store with the same account and you won't have to pay. The button will have a price, but it won't ask for any verification and will skip directly to installing.

I use Package Disabler. Not sure if you can disable that one in apps. Going back to the factory load if it has been updated by Playstore though might be enough to get it to behave.
Otherwise use an ADB edit.
That is far from the only one that could be causing trouble but the camera issue is why I mentioned it. The cam draws a lot of current normally so there may be others that are the prime offenders; using the cam just tips it over the edge so to speak.
Google Play Services is one I keep disabled except when needed. Playstore too.
I have about 90 packages blocked. All power management is disabled.
Took a lot of trial and error to optimize my stock AT&T N10+. It was a hot running bandwidth hog, now it's a cool, fast running, very stable platform.
