Lags and stutters on my Note 4 after Lollipop

My N4 is from Singapore and I updated it to Lollipop 5.0.1 due to OTA update that was always in my face. Since then, the phone experiences lags and stutters a lot to the point where it will be unresponsive for 5 seconds and above.
also, i have very terrible data connection. sometimes the data arrows move but my app does not load. chrome also lags and hangs intermittently.
i have reformatted and cleared cache via recovery. any ideas what i can do to help fix the phone? I am running stock unrooted Note 4. any help will be greatly appreciated.
p.s. I prefer not to root at this point as I want to be able to keep my warranty status intact. Plus xposed on lollipop doesnt seem to have much apps for me so sticking to stock unrooted.

I've been having this problem too, tried custom ROMs and tweaks, things improved but not that much

just want to see if there's any other ways to try and "fix" it before going back to kit kat.

Downgrade to kitkat.

I flashed Kitkat back after Lollipop 5.0.1
I decide that I will not update my Note 4 any more ........... unless one day .......... there will be a better stable firmware.
I don't care about Lollipop .............. Lollipop is the most faulty Android version ............ keep away from Lollipop
Maybe we should wait for Android M in 2016

Same here! I brought the phone in for service and hoping it will magically come back with 5.1.1 fixing all these stupid bugs. Dont know why did Samsung ruin the perfect N910G! Sigh.

I know what you mean man. I took the adivce of everyone here and rolled it back to kitkat 4.4.4
will test out and see how that goes. otherwise i will let go of it and use the oneplus till note 5/next phone gets released.

ive never had any stutterings or lags whatsoever..im stock

I tried package disabler (yes, I know it costs money), disabled around 40 (non-essential) packages and my note is as smooth as when I first bought it on KitKat.

Please could you export and post this list of packages that you have disabled? I didn't know Package Disabler was a thing - sounds like exactly what I'm after!

Would also love to have that list !!!

have you noticed lock screen lag ? when I press lock button first brightness goes down and then screen turns off, it drives me crazy

Now the package disabler app got colour code for bloatware

Nope, seems to be yet another placebo fix.

Same for my N916S, the stutters and delays annoy me so much, hard to believe it's a stock rom, it probably happens to S5 5.0 as well
But unfortunately, no kitkat for me, my variant is shipped with lollipop out of the box, sign

Factory reset always helps after an OTA update. I had N910F, the European version snapdragon and just few weeks ago replaced it with N910C, UAE version which has exynos chips. I find N910C lags way less. Infact, no lag at all. It came with lollipop installed then I flashed stock Poland firmware as they had the latest.
Everything is working great! Using Google launcher. Hate Samsung's folders and I find Google now one swipe away much more convenient.

The new update definitely has made improvements.

My phone is a bit faster now. Don't heat up as much. But what other changes did the update make? Can't find any patch notes.

The phone is usable now with it plugged in. No laggy touchscreen. It's the phone it should have been four months ago.

I'm confused... my phone worked while plugged in before. Your phone was completely useless while charging?

Improvement on touch response and phone seems to run a bit more smoothly.

I assume this is NOT for those that are on custom recovery (TWRP) and root ... I got the pop up for the update (thought I blocked the ota app ... DOH) but of course am in a "wait and see mode" right now.
I see that this question is already asked in the other update thread Apologies ... lol

Some have issues with their touchscreen, some have weird power issues. For example, my phone has weird lock screen issues when plugged in.

Interesting. I would have thought that would be a hardware issue.

After the ota to 10n today the new slo-mo camera feature doesn't record in slow motion, but the touch screen is much improved and phone is faster.
edit: nvm you have to use the "videos" app within the native LG gallery app to see it play back in slo-mo....great update!!

I just updated my phone to this version, and yes the touch screen is more responsive than before, but i also notice the battery is drain a bit.

AT&T Galaxy S6 OTA upgrade 3/3/2016

Anyone else receive this OTA this morning? I didn't see, or look for, a detailed change log before proceeding with the OTA push. Phone rebooted and is optimizing apps right now. I'll provide further details once it finishes.
I know, for sure, that I checked for new software within the past week or so and there was nothing available. I've been up to date with OTA upgrades since getting this phone on day one of its release.
Anyone know anything about this upgrade?

Model number: SAMSUNG-SM-G920A
Android version: 5.1.1
Android security patch level: 2016-02-01
Baseband version: G920AUCU3B0J9
Kernel version: 3.10.61-5927475
Build number: LMY47X.G920AUCU3B0J9
Security Enhancements for Android: SEPF_SAMSUNG-SM-G920A_5.1.1_0039

-_- security patch, not marshmallow
Edit: ATT site says device security and performance updates

Bastards

thanks for the heads up. Downloading now.

I installed it and really don't notice much of a difference. I guess this means no M for another 2 months at this point.

Probably just updating security mostly since we were a few months behind. Could also be preparing our phones to take take 6.0 update since there's usually a small update before a big one. Wouldn't hold my breath on it though

At least there was only a month delay between when this came out for the international version and us

Well we skipped a few months too so I'm not sure that counts

Don't try to apply this update if you've applied one of the leaked insecure boot images (for getting a root prompt). There's a check of the boot image built into the updater and if you attempt installation it will wipe your phone back to stock.
D**k move Samsung, d***k move.

I was a fool to initially think that the update juuuuuust might be Marshmallow. And then I thought, "I have AT&T. They would've made the announcement before just releasing the OTA. Hell, they would've made a big deal out of it, even; as if they're doing us a favor. " And so, I took a Valium and went to sleep.

This update seems to break mms for many of the users myself included verified with AT&T that is indeed related to it Samsung is on process of updating. Anyway if you happen to get it just boot your phone to safe mode and then use mms there and restart back to normal, it works after . And hopefully marshmallow will be soon

I'm still getting MMS texts, what was broken?

So far I've noticed my battery life is better than it was before, on the OJ7 update i had a very odd drain as well as issues with my bluetooth and wifi that were only fixed with a reboot......so far knock on wood they seem to be resolved but it should take a few more days to fully confirm. I did also try Enhanced LTE again and just as before I had a nice drain on my battery so they still don't have that working great yet (my area has weak LTE and switches between LTE and 4G on a normal basis).

Possible Stop New Update 60% Battery Limit, Please Help

Hello,
Can someone please explain if its possible to stop the update that lowers your battery to 60 max charge? Im with tmobile, running on the PI4 and have NOT updated yet but I received my first warning. I want to keep this phone, I dont feel I'm at risk and I only charge the phone when Im awake. Please let me know if this is possble, and if you can point me in the right direction. I'm not a complete newbie but Im not pro either.
Thanks in advance for any help

Look for the new thread under questions and answers saying package disable pro. It'll solve your problem. I also got the update but didn't apply it from Tmobile. Using the steps outlined from the user in package disabler pro version number 6.3 it removed the update icon I had received. Again, be sure to follow the instructions from that new thread by not using the newest version. Use the 6.3 that the poster provided.
Link is below.

You have to also remember and be careful to not update Package Disabler Pro or EZ Disabler in the PlayStore. Samsung forced them to remove system updates from their apps. Sucks to have to manually update everything, but that is where we are at.

I know that wasn't meant for me, but absolutely no can do!! The phone I will get may not be released in the US until January, plus T-Mobile still has my bill jacked up! I'm not going to fight them for a full refund until they stop charging me for a phone I already paid for in full! I've been fighting them since September to correct my bill! Then, they have to clean up that mess of charges for the Tab and everything else. I'm using this baby until the day my refund is clear to be deposited directly back into my account with no problems AND when I can get my hands on the Huawei Mate 9!

Anyone else having water detection problems?

My note 8 has never been near or in any water, not even rain drops have hit it. Now randomly it will pop up and say water detected in usb port. Which doesn't really effect me being able to use the phone, I use a wireless charger anyway. It's just annoying that it keeps popping up from time to time. Sometimes it will go weeks without doing it, one time it popped up and the phone rebooted itself and the warning was gone when it restarted. I talked to sprint about it and they basically showed me the door telling me to go to samsung who was equally useless. The first time it happened it wouldn't go away for days and I finally did a factory reset. That worked for the last 3 months, now all of a sudden it's back again.

Check that your port doesn't have any excess lint in it. Also what software version are you on. I think there's one with a bug dealing with the port and causing the device to reboot.

It's clean and I'm on official oreo, not rooted, only custom thing I've done is make a theme using the themeGalaxy app.

I'm getting this quite a lot now. First time it lasted 3 days before it cleared itself. I've had it today but cleared on a day. Deffo a software thing as the port looks clear to me.

This.
And you can't downgrade either, so be sure before pulling the trigger

I don't really care about root, I just want to make sure I flash the right one. Anyone know where I can make sure I find the right one for sprint? And I'm guessing I have to use Odin for it right?

Go to sammobile or updato.com, put it your model number, and you should be able to find the latest firmware for your specific model there. Yes you would need to use Odin (be sure to read up on the instructions in the other threads and be familiar with the process before jumping into it...saves time in the end ).

Okay awesome, I'm fairly familiar with Odin, used it on my note 3 back in the day and it's what I used to get the note 8 to Oreo. I was really just concerned with what version I could go to and from, I know in the note 3 days you couldn't skip certain updates. So you were stuck sitting there updating your phone like 3 times through Odin just to get to the version you wanted.

the moisture in charging port is a know error since S8/S8+ and Samsung is well aware of it.
I had it on my first Note8 and there's a few things you can try, cleaning the charging port with gently with alcohol wipes - delete cache in USB in system apps - factory reset -
But best option is to back up everything and flash latest software using Odin.
I ended up just sending mine in for warranty repair as it was only 2 months old

forgot to say that you can still charge using the cable but you need to first turn off the phone and then connect the cable just as the boot up starts
