First issue is app badges. When i read message or check missing calls whatever it is general issue, the notification badge on app icon does not reset it self. Badge keeps as it is for 1 hour and then reset. Tried clearing badge provider but no solutuon.

Cant install apps from google play normally, it downloads to %100 and stays as it is. When i kill the google play and restart it then it installs the app.

Randomly getting really laggy with device.

When i am on call with bluetooth headphone and using my device, the device gets laggy. Cant switch wifi or install apps. Its like device gets my actions but does not proceed. When i end calls it starts proceed my actions one by one.

Tried factory reset, reinstalling stock firmware, all same. My device is stock and never rooted.

Btw, I see touchwiz update on sammobile but neither samsung apps or google play does not update the launcher. I try to install the apk from sammobile manually but it gives error like i have an app as same name as it is. So cant update to last version of touchwiz i stuck at 6.1.02

Any help for these issues or explinations? Thanks.

I hate this, only choice is either install a new launcher or long press the icon and select "clear badge."

Not sure, it hasn't happened on my phone sorry.

Not sure, it's something that generally happens with Samsung devices.

Odd, I haven't seen that before.

Tried factory reset, reinstalling stock firmware, all same. My device is stock and never rooted.

You tried everything, could be a hardware issue. As for the touchwiz update, it could be for a different version then yours. I wouldn't be worried if you don't see the update unless your seeing other people with the sane phone get the updates.

None issue you mentioned I face it, by the way mine is Exynos edition.

Suggest Factory reset your phone, don't restore anything (this part is freaking important). Start as flash new phone setup.

As for Touchwiz, 6.1.02 is the latest version.

I highly suggest to return the phone to samsung and get a new one.. your phone seems to have a hardware issues.
I only have the common issues which is fingerprint sensor stops working sometimes. I never tried bluetooth so i can't confirm if i have any.
As many here also suggest that you should start fresh factory reset your phone and install your apps directly from the play store. If you had any problems with the playstore don't bather your self to fix the problem go directly to nearest samsung center and ask for an exchange unit.
