Visually Laggy Notification Center? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

I've been on 4.4.2 for a little bit now....but around 2 weeks ago I started randomely experiencing notification center lag. It happens with all notifications. I experienced this on DanVH's 4.4.2 ROM. I decided I just needed to flash his latest which I did and the problem persisted...
I assumed that it was his ROM that was at fault so I went ahead and flashed KangaKat 4.4.2 and the problem is STILL persistent...
Which is wierd because I used to be on the SAME exact build of KangaKat BEFORE I ever flashed Dans 4.4.2 and I never experienced this lag of any sort...and nobody else seems to have the problem I do...
I'm thinking it has something to do with my device. Any ideas you guys have? I really hate having the lag, especially now since GoldenEye has a lag free notification....its just really unattractive. Is there a way I could possibaly wipe my phone during flashing to maybe get rid of some reminants of something left behind??? helppp

It's probably app related. Are there any apps you installed around the time you started noticing the problem?

I've noticed it happens with Gmail Skype and Kik sometimes....
Those are the 3 apps I use the most. Sometimes (like 5 minutes ago) it was laggy with Gmail and Skype. Sometimes its Kik and Skype
Sometimes its just kik itself..

You can try clearing the cache in this and see if it helps.

Just did that....
Got a laggy Skype notification...

Surprisingly, I've experienced this lag on all types of ROMs (stock, GPE, AOSP), and still don't know why it happens. If it starts bothering me (and it does at some point), I just do a soft reboot. It might have something to do with Dalvik. Maybe this will be fixed if you have ART working.

[Q] Strange wifi/browser problem

Hey, so I've just encountered a pretty strange problem with my browser when running on wifi. When using either Dolphin HD or the stock browser, it just hangs and never really loads anything, but all other apps that require internet (facebook, tweetdeck, etc.) still work just fine. When using 3G both browsers also work just fine. This problem only started occurring today, don't know what I could have done to have cause something like this to happen but I'm pretty stumped on how to fix it. Any ideas?
(Running on Azure 1.0.1)
kill all tasks and try again
Nah I power cycled the phone a few times and no dice. The issue is resolved now actually, although I have no idea how or why it came up, nor do I know how it got fixed. Some strange fluke I guess.
Ok hell, I have no idea what's going on but I'm having more problems with this again, and now it's happening to the browser while using either wifi or 3g. Browser stops working, yet other internet requiring apps still work. I feel like this might have something to do with chrome-to-phone/foxtophone cause it tends to happen after I've used it. Anyone else experiencing this?
Same happens to me, its really random. I'm running Azure 1.0 any help would be much appreciated.

Clock Force Closing?

I wanted to find out if any other N10 owner had this issue. I get frequent force closes,or "clock has stopped" randomly, mostly when playing games. That's the only time I've noticed. I've tried force closing the clock app, clearing cache and data. It seems to work for a bit, but comes back eventually. Kinda at a loss here...figured maybe it was a bug in the latest firmware.
Anyone else, or is it just me?

I had the same issue, it was quite annoying, I even experienced the error while using multi-user mode. I have not had clock FC since I rooted the device. My guess is the wipe/factory reset I did during the procedure resolved the anomaly.
Yep, I've experienced this issue since day 1. Happens sporadically...

Happens here as well. 4.2 seems to be buggy as hell. It seems my tablet reboots overnight almost all the time because in the morning my recently used apps list is always empty
I'm getting this quite frequently now. It's very annoying and keeps coming back.

Skype & Kitkat issue

Everything was perfect when i was on Android 4.3, any skype calls working, video/audio doesn't matter.
But when i updated my wife's phone to kitkat, some skype calls making phone reboot(black screen, then its loading as usual).
It happens not always. And i have noticed that it crashes only while talking to people who have Windows XP installed(with latest version of skype, checked & updated myself).
When she talks to anyone on 7&8 Windows - everything is perfect.
I have tried all custom roms, original, rooted\not rooted, anything.
I gonna write this issue to Skype too.
Skype support asked that Skype not supporting KitKat yet.
Btw it only happens on Nexus 4, when i'm on my phone (XT910) on KitKat, it works and not hangs.
In my case occurs the same...I believe is maybe kit Kat by itself and usually happens when I leave a call in the background while I use another application. Unfortunately I haven't found any solution for that.
i have noticed that it crashes only while talking to people who have Windows XP installed(with latest version of skype, checked & updated myself).

Not really. The problem is a bit more serious: all ROMs (stock and custom) based on 4.3 or 4.4 are affected by this overly annoying camera bug. I obviously hope you're not, but if you end up as unlucky as I did, your camera and LED flash will soon become totally unusable (on all applications), fixable only by reverting to 4.2 or updating to L (I did and it's totally worth it)
Good luck :good:
Also another issue with Skype and N4 is that whrn listening to music and an image is being sent / received in the Skype chat window, fetching that image from the gallery/disk causes the audio system to crash. It's really annoying. Probably it's the same issue as the well-known audio stutters on changing connectivity and high cpu load.
Im using the Verizon G2 and running 4.4 2...xdabebb rom..i use skype a lot for business calls and havent come across this issue at all. On unrooted stock as well as custom. Ive also faced no issues on an S4 i9500...so it might not really be a kit kat issue but a nexus 4 specific...or an aosp based rom specific issue

I have another kind of issue with my xiaomi Mi2 with MIUI Rom on kitkat 4.4.4. I have systematically a black screen when the communication is established on Skype also using test sound server. The sound is working but I can't do nothing with the phone until the end of communication decided by my correspondant.. Very annoying . I have post the question to Skype 5 days ago but no answer. Skype was working properly on my phone on miuiv5 android 4.1.2
Envoyé depuis mon Mi2 kitkat 4.4.4 Miui6
I'm having the exact same problem ... I was talking on Skype video call and the phone screen went black and I couldn't hear the other party.. I don't if they were able to hear me or not. I had to hold the power button and reboot my phone manually. I don't know what the problem is but its very annoying and it happened three times in a row. I have used multiple ROMs and it was happening on all of them and they were all 4.4.4. I don't flash kernels, I just use the kernels that come with ROM because they have obviously been tested and have been found compatible with the rom. So I know its not because of kernels. Currently I'm on Slimkat latest weekly and was thinking about going back to stock but someone said its also happening on stock ROM. I'm going to try CM11 and see if it happens there as well. Will report back soon. Hopefully it's just a 4.4.4 issue and not a phone issue.

[Q] Galaxy Grand Prime SM-G530H browsers

Hi, i have a problem with my galaxy grand prime 4.4.4 SM-G530H no rooted and brand new, I bought it a month ago and everything was great until like a week ago chrome started to freeze the whole phone and even Firefox, both lags, freezes and crashes and make the phone freeze too, if I don't use the browsers the phone its normal. I uninstalled and installed again, delete data, cache and everything that gets in my mind and I dont know why this is happening. The stock browser works a little better but still slow. I don't know what to do please help.
You may try a factory reset and setup the phone as a new device (no syncing from previous device)
Same problem with mine did all reset and data delet but still same browser are laging and phone hangs...

Flash stock rom latest firmware
one ur phone
Sent from my SM-G530H using XDA Free mobile app
Have you installed a bunch of applications? Too many apps may eat up the device's RAM and cause lagging, how many free ram do you have?
140mb free ram it always shows approx this much ram free...

Thank you, I will try it. But can I flash it even it's not from my country?
I'm having the same problem. Anyone found a solution? Preferrably without losing warranty.
Note: I always have like ~220MB of RAM free and still get these freezes.
Still Lagging after Root............

No, i still have the problem, I try to not use chrome at all even if it's useful for my bookmarks for google, the phone it's laggy too and now I kind of regretting to buy it XDA doesn't even have a thread for this phone that says much about how bad the phone is(?) :crying:
May be some of the Devices are affected.... I think its a manufacturing defect. The thing is i void my warranty by rooting . I don't know if there is way for unrooting and restoring Knox .
Guys, I noticed that when turning on "Force GPU Rendering" from developer options, browsing experience is very smooth and lag is gone. I tested this on chrome and chrome beta. Could work as a temporary solution.
Yesterday I Hard Rest my prime and installed all the memory bugging apps but everything is working perfectly. No lagging and hanging anymore. I think battery backup has also been improved a bit. I think u ppl shld root and do hard reset.
I tried this and it seems that the problem is gone, you should have a try : http://www.androidauthority.com/chrome-android-scroll-lagging-363080/
P.S : I changed the value to 256

even i had the same problem i factory reseted my phone and its fine
Prob with Freezes
What would cause a phone to constantly freeze and stop working until the battery is taken out and put back in to get it back to working again.
I go thru this way too much throughout the day?
Lag?
i used to have the same problem, i just installed AdBlock plus and my problem is gone.
I'm using this browser, is the aosp with working bookmarks, just put the 2 file with correct permission on systems/app rw-r-r

Display problem

Hello there.
I'm proud new user of Nexus 6p but I already have a problem. I updated it to 7.1.1 and rooted the device. Now chrome constantly crashes (Aw snap problem) and also facebook sometimes show strange image.
Screenshots attached.
Anybody else have this problem?
i love my 6p and am also a proud owner of this beast.
but i also have troubles with my display, it is abit similar to yours, i have occasional graphical glitches and it always freaks the hell outta me.
i hate those glitches , i had a split screen bug on my Moto Nexus 6 as well and using a specific custom kernel called Lean kernel always solved that problem for me.
but currently nothing fixes this on my nexus 6p , except the 6p of mine thankfully does not have that split screen bug but instead it has some other occasional hiccups with graphic glitches.
and i think it is because of the cold temperatures, but i am not so sure.
Cold temperatures can't be a problem with mine couse i work inside so there is no cold
I tried with elementalX kernel and the problem is still here.
chrome gives me the most graphical glitches , but it does not happen often.
it can still get annoying , and i also have a keyboard issue with chrome (been months now) the keyboard issue is, i cant delete characters i have enetered in the search fields of whatever website i am at.
like when i press backspace to wanting to delete words it just wont do it, annoying bug with chrome i am sure of it, as i have tried other browsers and they dont do that with the keyboard backspace not deleting characters.
maybe we should both switch browsers, but the thing is i always go back to chrome :l
hope your issue gets solved too, maybe try a custom based nougat rom and you wont see that issue with chrome anymore (as for the fb app, it is a battery killer i would advice to just use the chrome app to open up your fb account).
Tried with firefox but the problem is still there.
Will try and get myself different rom for weekend and test it.
So you say that facebook is battery killer. Thanks for the info.
Update:
Installed Pure nexus rom - problem still there
Installed CM 14.1 - problem still there
I have no idea what is cousing this problem. Is it possible that the problem is hardware related and not software?

Navigate to Settings/Developer Options/Webview Implementation then switch to "Chrome." See if you still notice these issues.

Nope I think your display driver is glitching
I'm taking it back to the store today and they will replace it with the new one they said. Hope i'll have more luck this time
