About performance issue - Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) Questions & Answers

I recently bought Galaxy A8 (2018). When I turned it on there was a Update so I did it. But now I'm having some performance issue like snap chat and whatsapp are taking too long time to send message. In whatsapp even I'm in wifi signal it's just showing like loading when I press send for sending message. Do anyone have this problem?

Nope..

nope

Lag can happen for any number of reasons. There are literally 500 different reasons why your phone can experience lag. Every phone has it from time to time.
I think you are speaking about the 5ghz WiFi issue that most of gs6 users have noticed. Try to connect to classic WiFi and it should work fine.
i think i know what you mean....in every samsung device i used, S2 and S4, when you connect to WIFI and the message "connected to WIFI....." appears the phone lags for a second or two....i dont know why....

ok thanks ?
uhm still issues with this bug.. lags, freezes, I constantly miss photo opportunities. upset.
Same here, lags, crashes, and unusable camera. I went whale watching and missed most of them... seems like a 7 years old device. I am going back to the iPhone after this terrible experience with a Huawei phone in the android world.
I tried to understand what was going on, but it seems the only way to do it is to root the device and get access to system logs, something I don't want to do.

I only had lagging issues with camera app which got fixed with updates... no such issues now!!
I was told some versions have bigger problems, mine is the UK one.
Phone gets unusable after a few hours and only solution seems to power it off and on again.

Delay when pressing notifications

Hello guys, I recently got my new Oneplus 8T, and, whilst the device is amazing from what I could use it, it has an annoying flaw that I couldn´t find any information of.
When I press a whatsapp, telegram, etc notification, there´s a bit of delay inbetween the press and the start of the app opening. The phone does it the majority of times, as you can see in the video below (at the 10 second mark it opens it right):
Do you have an idea on what could be causing this? Does any of you have the same issue I do? I tried turning off everything related to battery saving, even factory reseting. Any help is much appreciated, thank you in advance!

I've come across some people with this specific flaw, I contacted Oneplus and they told me to factory reset the phone and if that didn't help (which did not, since I've gone wayy further with it, installing HydrogenOS and older versions of OxygenOS and didn't solve the issue), it "might" be a software issue and it "might" be solved in the next software update.
For how much have you been with the phone?
What is bugging me is that this problem is too specific for it to be a hardware issue.

Yes, I still have my Oneplus 7 Pro and it works flawlessly. I think I found something crucial.
The problem lays whitin the "Notifications" apartment. I'll explain myself.
As you can see in this new video I recorded
that weird delay shows when I open a notification coming from the tab "Notifications". BUT, when I open the SAME APP (Play Store) from a notification coming from "Other notifications" there's no delay at all, the phone works flawlessly, see how I press to see how my download is going, there's no lag. It would be wonderful if you could try it yourself, and see if that's the case on you unit too.
Taking this into account, I'm almost 100% sure this is a software related problem, and has nothing to do with hardware, probably a bug.
I'll report it to the bug reporting section of Oneplus and see if they can work on it.

No, I coulnd't. But I confirmed it to be a software related problem. I flashed LineageOS and PixelExperience ROM and the phone worked flawlessly. So we might have to wait for Oneplus to fix the problem in next OTA.

Yes, I was really satisfied with these ROMS performance, the only downside was getting Widevine security level down to L3, so i can't watch netflix on the phone anymore... Kinda sad we have to do this in order for the phone to work correctly.

The latest OTA kinda did something for me. I get the delay 5 out of 10 times I press a notification. Used to be 9 out of 10 times lol. It's not completely fixed but it's an improvement. What I did was send a bug report to the Oneplus bug reporting site and they said that they will be working on it.

UI Lag fixable with a reboot

Hi peeps. I recently bought a Poco X3 and yesterday i noticed pretty prominent UI Lag. Apps stuttered while opening. While using whatsapp opening chat threads felt like using a 4 year old phone. After scrolling through threads someone had suggested rebooting and after i rebooted the lag was gone and it was smooth as hell again.
Anyone else experienced this scenario? Any permanent fixes?
Any help would be highly appreciated guys
Thank you!
Same here. I just hope they'll fix it on the next update.
I've been facing the same issue man since I bought my Poco x3 in Pakistan..seems like you're from there too idk..and it happened like this that I felt stuttering and slower animations..when multitasking..and also whole scrolling in WhatsApp..it really didn't felt smooth..this happened on both 60 and 120hz..now after the mui 12.6 update..I'm running it on 60hz and without restart it's going smooth for now..have to see how longer it stays like this..there's no other prominent issue with the device except this..just needing more software optimisations I guess. Also man can you tell me that if after restarting Ur device runs smoothly for how long..because the same happened with my device too but then the lag kept on returning..
Also I'm curious..if you're running on mui 12.6? Can you check the update settings and see if you can view the update log..or the what's new button..because I can't unfortunately..it's a bug as people say with this current update..but If you can check and tell me then it would help

yep i'm from Pakistan. Probable that it' something with our variant? but feels good to know that it's not only me so the probability of a faulty device is ruled out. But to answer your question, i could not rule out the exact time after which it starts lagging again because since this happened it kinda became an anxiety; figuring out when it's gonna die down again
so i rebooted twice after that. but i highly doubt it's a hardware issue. probably software. Sad after investing 40k but let's see what happens. Fingers crossed!

Also with this current update have u noticed the game crashing call of duty..with a black screen during gameplay of the battle royale mode..?
the 12.0.7 update is somewhat an improvement. The fingerprint scanner seems faster now but the phone still starts descending into lag and stuttering after some time but it seems as if the period has become longer. Now it lasts 2-4 days after a reboot....

Question April Update Exynos UK

Currently downloading the new software update on UK Exynos with April Security Patch. Hopefully this fix's alot of issues we are having! 1.3gb download.
At least the GPS issues, the audio sync issues and my wifi issues seem to be fixed
Let's see how this firmware holds
Yes babyyyyyyy
AVCJ - 1400MB almost - HUGE!
Same update here in Slovakia. Have to find any difference yet. I hope that Android Auto got fixed, gonna try tomorrow.

Same sh**t. lot of noise indoors
The audio lag bug seems fixed. But at still a lot of lag in the UI, notifications especially, and yes noise in photos. Not really much of an improvement. My patience with this phone is wearing really thin. Time to sell it and never buy Exynos again.

I got no faith in Samsung rectifying this one. The hardware is just too throttled. Only so much software can do

But isn't the UI lag in the Snapdragon model too? Did you have any reboots so far? I got a black screen a few minutes ago and a soft reboot... It sucks.

Yes. It's not big, but it's there.
I'm using the Snapdragon with "AVC9" FW build.
Today i've get on Romania update for S22 Ultra Exynos model and after this update settings button from camera app doesn't work (camera force close without error). I've tried to delete cache for camera app (problem was still there) and after that i go to fastboot menu (poweroff, connect cablu to my laptop, power on + volume up) and there i reset the cache partition and then accessed the last option "fix applications". Now settings button on camera work again. Before was ok!
PS: second problem was with S-pen... in middle of the screen doesn't receive any input (aprox. 10x10mm was disable but with finger work without any issue). This problem disappeared after I restarted the phone.
