2- when editing an old video and after saving it, the new edited video is placed above all media in Gallery as if it was created originally today , it should be saved near non edited video.
3- in camera, i cannot modify exposure level when it is locked (like on iOS)
4- bad battery performance, heat, laggy animations on the new QG5 update, we have to wait until August update come out ,
that's really baaaad !

Try factory reset. If it will not help i recommend you to use your warranty and return your device for another piece. Issues you mentioning are NOT normal.
Dont root your device, dont try to fix it via different ROM or kernel. Because if you have somehow faulty device, and different rom / kernel etc. wont help, you will loose your warranty and then nobody will help you. :good:

You don't deserve S8

would firmwares differ between one CSC and another (in terms of bloatwares , performance .....) ????

No they don't differ.
1. What does slow mean for you? I've had no Problems with Auto-Focus so far.
2. Intended behavior. Gallery sorts by Date created. Editing a Video "creates" a new one with todays date. Nothing wrong with that.
3. What does "when it is locked" mean?
4. I'm on GQ5 without such problems. It sounds like an app is using your cpu constantly. Maybe try to troubleshoot which app is keeping your phone awake. Neither heat nor Battery drains are normal.
And finally, yes, Touchwiz (Samsung Experience...) is on the "heavy" side for a manufacturers skin. But credit where credit is due, this is by far the best optimized Iteration of it i have seen to date. The S8 is not on the same "snappiness" level as my 3T before it, but it's far from bad. I only experience minor hiccups in scrolling now and than, But that's about it. Everything else is perfectly fine.

I you want "bug-free" and fluid experience, i would recommend Pixel or HTC U11. I really dislike OP5 so not recommending that.
But i really dont understand your issues. I have not a single problem with my S8+. In terms of bugs or snapiness.

Focus is blazing fast. Its dual pixel ffs, even S7 focuses like a devil. FHD with 60 fps is alright. Either you are troll, or you have a faulty device. Just go and replace it for a new one.

Edit: tried focusing on 60fps and yes, i have some issues too. Fortunately im not using 60fps so i dont care that much. Truth is that Samsung can fix it. Manual focus is locked within two seconds.

video effects in ics

ok so theres all the new settings in camera for video effects and such, has anyone else tried out the video background setting?
you take a video, then another video with the first as a moving background,,,you can then record yourself again overlaying the original video.,
im luving it,. but it is VERY choppy and full of screen artifacts is anyone else having better luck then mine?
Yup! It's really awesome. Best result in nice bright condition, keep the tablet as steady as possible. Watch out for any moving thing in your real background, a slight change will ruin everything. And not only your camera videos can be used as a background, any video that can be played by the default video player works too!

CORR! was beginning to give up that anyone else had checked the ics camera lol these new features were not boasted about as much as they should have lol
I know right? these features are too awesome to be ignored. U know there's an ics rom called tabooney, it had a bug called 'sleep of death'. So they uploaded a patch for it, but after installing it, the camera effect features doesn't work at all. But everybody keep saying, yes now its perfect, thanks now its 100% stable, no bugs at all. Can u believe it? They don't even know these features exists!

lol flexreaper all the way
I'm on flexreaper 14 and the background doesnt really work. as soon as you move into view the background breaks up and disappears, with both cameras.
Yeah same here on the 12.5 special edition' I think that's about as good as it gets so far it is still very new to android
Also like above user said it works best in bright conditions and I find it works better the further away you are so you are taking up less screen.
Check the. Pic above and see if u can get a better result

Post lag videos?

Whoever can show their lag on the clip. This would help me and others. I'm now curious since I've been on my Nexus 4 with 4.2.2 for a while now that I'm so used to lag that I dont even notice it.

Here is mine. The lag is not bad, but pretty much everywhere. Obviously an issue with 4.2.2. I don't know. When it doesn't lag the phone is super smooth. I hope they fix this soon.
Samsung obviously didn't optimize their software to run properly on 4.2.2. Makes me miss how fluid the UI was on the Note 2.
Not the best quality, but still good enough to see.

Why would you clear your ram...
With 2 gb theres no need to. Plus its fluid when you leave it alone. Thats like using a task manager from the play store.

For tests like this, it's best to clear ram so you're starting with an empty plate. Just like if you were benchmarking, running browser speed tests, etc.

I dont see a whole lot of lag in that video.
I wouldn't say it looks laggy. It's more sluggish. But its pretty minor.
It's not as fluid as I want it to be. I might get annoyed.
EDIT:
I heard if you turn off all those gimikey features. IE eye detections ect. it should fix the lag a bit.
Since that video I've performed a factory reset. Gonna do another video soon.

Can you do one after the reset. And another one with ALL the gimick features off? Thanks.
Noticed exactly the same on my mates gs3 - it was unusable, up to 3 seconds till home launcher and frequent redraws.
Samsung completely kills androids performance, and for that price and hardware its a shame.
Thats why many people prefer apple - my iPod Touch with 200 apps still runned better than my mates gs3 for almost the double price with 50 apps. Android is getting very, very slow after some use. Calls, sms, apps, after every month you'll loose lets say 10% of performance, related to how you use your phone, more performance loss in the beginning, less after some use.
And touchwiz makes everything sloooww :/
You only notice, when you install 300 apps on iPhone and gs4. Gs4 will lag, I can gurantee.
Especially 4.2.2 was a kind of downgrade, lots things are "tasty" things, you may like or not.
IF Google could bring beak Gingerbreads performance and ram managment + project butter and some new features on android 5.0, I would marry them
I just did this video about 10 minutes ago and would like to get some input on it. I will try to do when in more depth video when I have time.

Well based on the polls. They said the korean one has lag but it's minimal. and it appears to be quite minimal on your phone. so it's "normal".

[Q] picture rendering time problem?

I didn't notice any problem like this in any of my other devices.
but whenever i take a picture with G2, and try to have a look at it in gallary,
the picture would first look really blurry at first.
and after 0.5~1 second, the the blur image would get cleaned up from top to bottom of the screen in multiple section, from right to left.
is this normal? or do i have a defect phone?
sorry for the multiple threads, my computer froze up for a second :/
It's normal. These are HUGE images and it is just essentially needing time to "load" it up and process it.
You can also try using a third-party app like Quick Pic which I think does a little better job of caching things.
But no, you don't have a defective phone just because of that.

okay, thanks for the info.
can i ask you few more question? i don't feel like starting another thread.
first question is about the camera. whenever i try to record something while moving the camera, the camera would try to focus itself very often. it feels like it's doing it too much. is this normal?
second, i don't know if you would know this, but would outdated router prevent G2 from getting connect to the home network?
thx XD

1) Yea, its normal for the G2, but its hardly ideal. It is something that has been mentioned in reviews and hopefully a future patch fixes it and makes it more stable.
2) Yes, it would. I've owned routers flat out incompatible for whatever reason with some devices I own. You may have luck forcing the router into a particular channel and/or G-mode -- or upgrading its firmware.

when i record a video with 60fps, and look at the video in the gallary, the video seems to studder alot. the video looks more like 6 fps than 60 fps
i assume this is not normal, right?

Yeah, video sucks right now. It's really unfortunate as this is mostly an excellent phone. I'm sure DEV support or a official patch will fix it.

Hmm, my 1080p 60fps video is fine on playback...
I usually opt for 720p though just to conserve space and because the video usually ends up on facebook or youtube anyway so it isn't like 1080/60 is necessary.

I'm not a happy camper anymore

I installed the 14.3.A.0.757 update. Now my Z1, which ran so smoothly and hassle free on 4.3 is giving me stutter/lag more often on the home screen, when opening apps, and in settings menus
I did a full factory reset and it just comes back again after a couple of days. Apps themselves also appear to behave more sluggish than they used to. Maybe it's just my perception but I also feel like they open a slight bit slower and are less responsive when open. I like having voice activated Google Now but the increase in lag is bothersome, and doesn't feel as smooth and responsive overall as it used to. I don't run a ROM and I don't even use a 3rd party launcher (there was no improvement with Nova on it, I tried that too)
I have the same thing even though i didn't experience the smoothness of 4.3.
I notice apps like phone(book), e-mail/gmail and facebook have alot of lag during scrolling. Just like chrome hangs when i scroll on big pages. This is much worse than on my old xperia S.
I see the same symptoms. The phone seems to run slower and slower until I reboot it or it reboots itself.
Was worse on 4.3 though.

Your photo with the Z1, is just a bad take (not the same exposure, not same position)... it does many better... and I don't think that the S5 is really better that the Z1, on the party of photos... of more, this are of Screenshots, no??? because if yes, you isn't correct... the rendering at level of the screen is not the same, it's a amoled with pixels dead for the black, the constraste is more efficient... compare the with the Z2... Samsung without Amoled, they're lost (screen and battery life( battery life is bad with, imagine without Amoled)... Samsung = ****... Sorry
Amoled = Samsung oled
Oled = Sony
Sony have abandoned this technology because the rendering of colors is bad... (false colors)
And it's not the subject...
Not just a screen shot, but two such images were taken with autofocus. Z1 and s5 with 16 megap.but certainly not I'll never take ... Sony is not the topic .... but proof enough that Sony makes fade left with much poorer quality

I love Sony but did not receive the quality for the money that I gave you ... and I was very disappointed .... Samsung has won over the picture quality .... I am personally convinced of it when I got now .. . going to be sold and can not take even half the money for which I bought it .... disappointing ..... Camera disaster ....

Dudes wt F? This thread is about lag problems I'm having since the update.
something is definitely not right with the update, stock 4.4 is more optimized and runs better than lower memory consumption but the Z1 kit kat is the exact opposite. My phone feels snappier with 4.4 but some apps are slower especially the Camera app.

My best advice is of
Flash my rom ...
I made this topic, i hope it helps.
http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperi...g-while-scrolling/td-p/691317/highlight/false
This scares me because I just purchased a used Z1 off Swappa and hope this doesn't happen to my unit.
I found a solution that seems to have helped a lot. First I uninstalled a few apps that were mildly offensive at always-on resource usage: BBM, Appsi, and Zooper. Then I enabled developer options and changed the following settings to:
Windows Animation Scale: 0.5x
Transition Animation Scale: 0.5x
Animator duration scale: off
Then restarted my phone.
It appears so far that I'm pretty close if not identical to the .681 build in smoothness and speeds. I'm going to leave it for a week or so now to see if any bad lag creeps back in again, but if not then I'm happy again.

This is XDA, Flash a Custom Rom man,

Snapchat laggy j5

Hello guys, whenever i attempt to do photos or videos on snap, camera is very smooth even the front ome, but shen i apply the filters it goes like 2 fps or 1 frame on 2 seconds, so it is very choppy, otherwise i don't see much lag, how can i fix this?
It sounds like the processor is overheating causing the lag

Yep their should be for android 5.1.1 I dunno about 6.0.1
I haven`t found a way to solve that. Seems that the processor is not powerful enough.
I think the filters are making the processessor run high so the processor is at fault
Hii, I guess you should try FineFilterz.com, it's amazing. check it!
