Anyone experiencing weird lag on the note4?

I bought two note4 for my lines since one was to be given to father. I rooted both phones on the same day of purchase. I realized that for my phone, I'm experiencing some weird lag moments. Sometimes I would type fast enough to finish the sentence but the keys don't register until a few seconds later. Sometimes scrolling through a page, it would stop and wouldn't move until a few seconds later.

I'm hoping that this is just software issue. Can't wait til we have a custom recovery and rom to flash.

Have you updated yet? While I don't have my Note yet, I have read that the update increases battery life, and also fixes lag issues.

Daammnn...we got a bada** over here, rooted both phones at the same day of
purchase.

If I buy a new phone I would use it until the warranty expires.

LAGGING everywhere on Build KTU84P N910FXXU1ANIE

Loving my Note 4... but
IT IS VERY LAGGY!!!
As it is, this incredible phone is completely spoiled by a jerky experience, and this is using Google Apps which are usually very smooth, like Play Store, Gmail, Hangouts, Google Plus, and other well made apps like Pulse and Facebook... all usually very smooth, but not with the Note4 I got yesterday. My nexus 5 was much smoother, with a much slower processor.

Do any of you in the UK have the update yet, I have not had it yet?

Cheers
Mark

You guys should read the "root and what works" thread, because this was already solved. Wanam causes a conflict with Shealth and you have to go into Wanam, security hacks, disable secure storage. then go to settings/apps and clear s health data and cache and then reboot I've done this on the latest update, and now have no lag issues

Uh seriously? I hope you're being sarcastic. If not, why are you on XDA?
Uh? Do I need to root my phone in order to join XDA?
Also I would appreciate what factory ROM has 'served' me, and I would actually use the warranty given for hardware repairs since I'm a clumsy person.

English is not my first language so where do you mean 'sarcastic'?
Sorry.

Ah yes, the ability to search and read has been getting worse and worse.

I'm also getting random lag, even before root, xposed and wanam. Seems to be the same as the s4, s5 and note 2 previously. Once custom kernels are out with better scheduling, it should be remedied.

My phone is not rooted yet... if it cannot work without lag with the stock rom, I will not keep it and it will go back to EE... so I am hoping the update comes very soon. I suggest everyone who has just got their Note 4 does NOT root it until they are satisfied it works as well as they expect it to... it's a lot of money and you have the right to return it within 2 weeks if ordered online (in the UK/EU).

This is the United States.. If I don't like the phone, even rooted... I can return it.. If they don't let me, just file a credit card claim. I paid the phone, I own it.. I can do whatever I want to the software.

I hate it when people jump in scared of Knox or voiding warranty.

Will check it out.. I don't even use s-health so I didn't think this was the issue.

Mine is VERY laggy, throughout all the menus in comaprison to my note3, running cm11 or hyperdrive.

I have xposed (which I think is the main issue, but I need it to run xprivacy), nova, the new firmware update, its rooted (post update) and wanam installed in order to get shealth working.

The phone itself is great, but the over all software implementation is pretty poor. No way a device from a major manufacturer, should be outdone in responsiveness by some AWESOME hobbyists.

With the same setup, as my note3 (side by side), screens change slower, scrolling is slower, and apps open a tad slower. The overall experience is just no where near as smooth as quick.

Now I am comparing 1yr of ROM development (hyper and temasek) vs a 2day release(stock note4), so of course some tweaks need to be made.

If you have a note3 rooted, might want to wait a few weeks before dropping $750.

Also I had to manually up the core speed to 2.7 in faux clock, mine was set at 2.3 for some reason.

The screen is AWESOME, the speaker is surprisingly nice, build quality and feel are top notch (no gaps, or peeling paint, or loose buttons!!!), and the camera really is nice upgrade that I didn't expect I would be happy about.

I only get 42,921 on antutu, which was what I get on my note3 at 2.3ghz ( not over clocked)

That's pretty bad overall performance out the box IMO.
