Lag!

I get tons of lag with the built in swype keyboard and anything dealing with google voice.
Any clue what is going on?

Not wanting to be the guy that says "nah nah na-nah nah" but I use swype exclusively and google voice a.great bit. Have you changed any settings recently? Try stopping the swype and google voice services and rebooting.

I'm not experiencing lag in Google Voice with Swype. I use them together many times each day. Do you experience the same problem when you toggle back to the stock keyboard? Have you installed any third party keyboards or security apps that record key strokes?

No strange apps here.
Tried uninstalling reinstalling flatting and stopping.
No idea what it could be.... I guess it its good you guys aren't having issues.

Odd... I removed a couple keyboard (SwiftKey touchpal flext9) that weren't even "active" and it seems to have fixed it.

Unable to open camera during call?

For the first time today my phone gave me this prompt when I tried to open my camera while on a bluetooth call. I also tried it with just the speaker phone and regular call and still got this prompt. I can open it with camerazoom fx btw.. I cleared cache and data in the camera app and did a system wipe of dalvik cache and still no luck.

I believe thats by default. Not sure if its a Samsung thing or what. If you're rooted, Wanam has an option to allow that.

I am rooted and have Wanam installed. But I can assure I have in the past been able to take pictures while on a bluetooth call. I also had a coworker while on a bluetooth call on his note 3 open his camera without issue.Thanks anyway.Will check out Wanam features.

Hmmm. Sounds unusual. Never tried it myself. I figured since there was a Wanam mod for it that it was normal.

I'm fully stock and I can open my camera while in a phone call

Yeah. I'm going to unroot and factory reset to see what's causing this. Appreciate the reply.

That's funny you brought this up. I've noticed on stock Samsung phones sometimes I can't do that either, then on others I can. I know with Wanam Xposed you can enable it though if you want to try that route.

The orioles33 suggested Wanam and I did use it, but it worked before and after root. I'm just trying to figure out why it stopped all of a sudden.

Its a Samsung thing. They put so many stupid restrictions on their phones. Like not being able to use the camera if your battery is low. Fnck you samsung. Let me kill my battery however I want.

Well today I took my phone to an AT&T service center for for call issues and they gave me a new sim and reflashed MJ5 to my phone. I'm bone stock again and my stock camera opens during phone calls. So I think root broke it somehow, maybe, I will reroot with kingo 1.1.8 to see if there is a relation to this situation with root. Thanks all.
Ok, So I rerooted with 1.1.8 and camera now works with calls. This is crazy. Lol

Messaging app

Was just curious as to what messaging app most people was using and recommended. I like to find one that has pop up and possibly lock screen preview like the stock app. Any help or suggestions is much appreciated.

I love the stock messenger app, it has everything I need.
Go sms has pop up too if you prefer that.
Sent from my SM-P600 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

For now, stock app until I find something I like better.
I was using Textra on my S3 but it didn't want to work well with kitkat so I went to hangouts. I think hangouts could be a really good app, but right now its terrible in the way its organized. Contacts are a mess to sort through, and every google account you have has the ability to send messages which makes things very difficult to manage if you end up sending messages from more than one.
I'm not a huge fan of the stock app...kind of ugly, but it works well.

I use Textra and I love it.

Thanks for the info. I will try out those. I liked the stock app but was getting lag using it. It want bad but bad enough to drive me nuts. Lol

I really liked the stock app until I imported all of my old texts from my I7777 and then the lag was unbearable. Nearly a 2 minute wait. Now I'm using Hangouts. Not as many features, but no lag.

Textra
EvovleSMS (this is the one I use)
HelloSMS

I tried all the popular ones...Go SMS, Textra, hello SMS, Hangouts, Evolve, etc. Hated all of them. I ended up sticking with chomp SMS. It's from the same developer that made biteSMS for the jailbroken iPhone, so I'm familiar with it. Plus, you can customize the theme to your liking. It has all the popular features: popups, quick reply/compose, delay sending, scheduled sending, privacy, etc.

Ever since my SGS 2, I always end up back with Textra. Black theme. Light, fast, actively developed and has all the necessary features. It's not overblown and just does it's job well.

I've been using Chomp for a long time and have been very happy with it. I've been trying out the stock messaging app for a few days, compared to past Samsung messaging apps, I'm impressed, but I'll probably be installing Chomp again soon...

Are there any messaging apps or themes for a messaging app that would make it flat? No matter how much I edit Chomp or Textra it just still doesn't look flat.

I use hangouts as my stock mainly because I can directly chat with my Google contacts. I have little reception where I live but still have WiFi so I can message my friends with android over a hangout instead of an SMS. I also very much like the layout and Android Emojis. I never liked textra, chomp, or handcent.

using stock messaging app here , rooted with twrp recovery , I have popup enabled when I get a msg and phone is locked (swipe to unlock set) I click the msg but then the phone lags at the lock screen ,and hangs. anyone else having problems with this ? or know a way to correct it ?
to get out of it I have to swipe to unlock then open up the messaging app it wont let me click the msg I got from the lock screen .

Was using ChompSMS but was getting a bit slow, switched to EvolveSMS but it's still really buggy, using Textra now. Slim, fast, quick reply / compose and not bogged down with tons of settings. Simple theme & emoji setup too. Be sure to download Textra emojis from app store.

since we are discussing the messaging apps, has anyone been getting random message alerts on old messages in the stock app? Phone was sitting on the counter last night charging and I heard it go off. Came out to find an alert for a message from tuesday that had already been read. Had this happen once before as well...alert on a previous read message. Never seen anything like it

From the sound of your needs, it seems like the stock app would suit your needs best. Why not use it? I don't really understand why some people seem to force themselves to use third party apps if the native ones work fine. :what:

How the hell do u get the stock calculator app to shut up!?

The phone says out loud everything I press, it's sooo annoying. Talk Back feature isnt enabled. I actually use the calculator on my phone alot this sucks. Any help is appreciated
Sent from my SM-N910T using XDA Free mobile app

That sounds hilarious, sorry. As far as I saw, the only options for talking were in the extended options of language and input in settings. I'll dig around and see if I can find something. I'll definitely want it disabled myself.

I noticed this today at the worst possible time in a middle of a meeting. Can't find an option to turn it off.

Went through there as well ,unless I'm not checking something correctly... could you check your calculator app and tell me if your having the same problem?
Just got this phone and never messed around with any of thoose kind of settings anyways.

Did you give any app pemissions in accessibility. If you did read this image i attached. When you give some apps permission Samsung has some issues sometimes with the voice kicking on but Samsung actually had a work around built right into the phone.
Have recreated your problem just do the work around which the phone does for you.

This is how I shut off mine. Under Accessibility if you have anything under Services, turn them off. I had Greenify on and it made my calculator talk, but once I shut it off, calculator stopped talking. Hope it helps.

Found this page with people having same issue. Seems like tmobile and att is the pattern. Tmobile here. Greenify not installed. Double checked all my settings too.

You have to click on the settings button thats below whatever app you would have given permission look at my pic i posted you will see the settings listed at the bottom but since you say you didn't do that then there is no workaround. Did you turn on a app you didn't necessarily had to do it in accessibility some apps will just do it automatically. Can you tell me what apps you may have installed that help with battery or after market lockscreen just anything you can think of

Alright got it to finally shut up ! I cleared cache and data on the calculator app then I started getting a notification for the workaround from Greenify I guess .

Neither
NOTE 4

On my phone, it was caused by activating Greenify in the accessibility settings. When I did that, I got a popup telling me that my default language didn't match TTS. It offered me options of canceling, going to settings, or enabling TalkBack. So, for some reason, activating Greenify activates TalkBack. Voila. Talking calculator.

Messages app

Long story short my messages app sucks! Short Story long I love the messages app but it don't love me back. I'm sure many of you will suggest that I use hangouts or chomp or textra or some other third party message app which I do but I really want to use the stock app. I'm using hangouts by default right now. That's bc my stock app started acting up about 2 months after use. It would just freeze while texting and doing all kind of weird things that it shouldn't do. I thought it was just my phone and hoped that lollipop would fix it and started using hangouts but lollipop isn't here. Furthermore I bought my wife a note about a month ago after convincing her to leave the iPhone (greatest thing she ever did besides marrying me) and her phone started doing the exact same thing. So I'm curious if anyone else experienced this. I've tried clearing cache, deleting old messages and googling a solution but came with no luck. So here I am reaching out to my fellow xda-ers to see if anyone else had the same problem or better yet a solution?

That's really strange. Are you both on T-Mobile? I have not used the stock app since day 1, and I don't like Hangouts, but I do have problems sometimes messaging with my girlfriend. We both have Note 4's with Textra, but she is on Verizon and I am on the big pink T. We had no problems when we both had T-Mobile.

What sorts of things is the stock messaging app doing? I've used it for months with no issues on stock deodexed NK4

Yeah we're both t mobile. Basically while your trying to type it'll freeze the phone for 30 secs to a couple of minutes to the point it's unusable. Sometimes everything you typed will catch up but sometime it will just force close

Sounds like you both are using stock keyboard. Try swift key. Factory keyboard had a lot of lag. If you guys are rooted start debloating. Should help a ton.
