Why is my phone slow when connected to the internet (4G and/or Wi-Fi)

I'm currently using a Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 running Pixel OS based on Android 15 and I can't help but notice that everytime I enable wifi or 4g, my phone gets extremely sluggish and slow (sometimes even unusable and freezing) for a temporary time, after that it works like normal. What is happening when the internet is enabled? I thought it was because it was syncing, but it's not like it stops syncing after a while... So I need answers

It happens with all ROMs, including LineageOS and stock ROM (MIUI).

Should I switch to LineageOS? [Tab S6 Lite, 2020]

I have a Samsung galaxy tab S6 lite from 2020, I've customized it a lot and slapped Niagara launcher on it, but still kept it pretty clean. Even removed a lot of bloat using UAD. But the tablet still feels slightly sluggish. It isn't hampering my use of it significantly, but it still feels unsatisfying to use. I don't really have any data that I can't backup and move to the custom ROM later. So I just wanted to ask if lineage will improve the performance on the tab, if S-pen will work, if all (or atleast most) of my android apps will work. It'd be great to know if Samsung Internet works on it or not.

Is there something like Lineage21 OS Don't support 60fps camera Recording? Or Gcam is the problem?

Whenever I try to use 4k 60fps Recording or 1080p 60fps recording, the recording goes actually 25fps 1080p while 4k 30fps goes more smoother but 30fps. My device supports 60fps recording but I don't wanna move to it as Lineage feels better. So the issue is with ROM or Gcam?

POCO F1 supports and can handle 4k 60fps Camera Recording.

Rome total war issue

I tried downloading and running Rome: Total War on my Switch OLED tablet running LineageOS 21, but the game crashes immediately. What's strange is that I also tried Medieval: Total War and Empire: Total War, and both ran without any issues. Has anyone else encountered this, or know of a fix?

option to display firewall icon in status bar

For what firewall? Searching settings for firewall comes up empty. The same searching preinstalled apps.

Did there use to be a firewall? Or maybe one is intended to come?

After update "delete" option?

After updating LineageOS via the systems updater (no adb or anything on the command line).

I went back and check. But saw this "delete" option:

image, what does this delete do? Is it safe to press it?

Buying phone on hope of official LineageOS support: Sony Xperia 5 V

This is not a cry for "please support my phone".

I try and buy my phones based on the potential of LineageOS support, so they have a life after official manufacturer support.

My current daily runner is a Zenfone 8, it hit EOL some time ago. Today I discovered the unlocking flow is unofficial (whoops).

The Zenfone 8 and 10 have a wicked form factor with an audio jack. I got my partner the ZF10 thinking it will fall into support because the ZF8 is supported. That theory didn't check out.

The Xperia 5 V is the closest one on the market, though pricey.

What is great is I have spotted unofficial builds for the Xperia, so it's promising.

So the purpose of this post is to say: we only have Sony to make small form factor phones with an audio jack.

Otherwise, I think I would happily jump onto a pixel.

Built LOS19, device does not boot

So basically, I was trying to revive my old phone - the Lenovo K6 Note (karatep, MSM8937) and started playing around with some custom ROMs but all of them available are based on Android 11. So I wanted to try my best building LOS 19.1.

We have an access to the device/kernel/vendor trees, so it was an easy one to get them and make some required changes for the new lineage to at least build the rom zip without any errors.

However, even tho I've built one successfully, the device does not want to boot at all. It just hangs at the splash screen:

  • device vibrates (power on)
  • lenovo splash screen appears
  • lenovo splash screen brightens, stays like that for 30-40 sec (should take less than 2 sec to proceed with boot animation)
  • device reboots (kernel panic, I guess)

At this point I'm kinda lost, because I don't really know whats going on. I've got TWRP installed, so I tried to fetch some logs but there's no last_kmsg or console-ramoops anywhere on the device. While hanging at the splash screen the device is not avaiable within ADB. I've seen on the Internet there're some hacky ways like creating UART connection, but my manual/soldering skills are kinda limited.

Are there any chances to get to know more? Is it some SELinux error or maybe vendor blobs are not being correctly mapped? Where to start looking for some more info? Maybe there're some usefull config variables that would make my life easier with debugging?

Thank you in advance.

In case someone wanted to take a look at the sources:

Please update the wiki for Motorola phones

I've installed Linage on a new Motorola Edge 30 phone today.

Worked perfectly, but there was one problem not mentioned in the installation wiki.

With newer Moto phones, fastboot throws an error, because the bootloader is locked and will show a signature validation error.

(bootloader) Preflash validation failed

I figured out, that you can unlock the bootloader relative easy by getting an individual unlock code from the Motorola support site.

https://en-gb.support.motorola.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-b

This might be the only way, because there is no way to downgrade the bootloader.

Is there any risk to bricking my Samsung Galaxy S3 Neo when installing official LOS

Hello! So I'm considering custom romming my Samsung Galaxy S3 Neo with LOS..
I already know how to install a custom rom and all that.. i've even ported roms for other devices but for some reason I feel nervous to custom rom my S3 Neo as I've never done it before..
Is there any risk?

How to port rom

Hey, I have much interest in rom porting (mainly xiaomi devices like "redmi note 4") but honestly don't know where to start, I mean there are many rom porting toturials but they are quite old the most recent I found was in 2018. They also tell some requirements like same Soc, android version, etc. but i have seen many ports that defy it like "redmi note 4" With android version 7 (last android version from xiaomi) gets hyperos ported with android 14 from "k50u" ,so they all seem kinda hopeless. I have lot of questions but don't know whom to ask so i am asking here:

  1. What do i need to start porting.
  2. How many types of porting methods are there.
  3. What are the main steps in porting.
  4. What to do with different extentions (like "payload.bin") and super images.
  5. What base rom to use, why and do i need to have a base rom with same android version as the port rom. (Base rom: rom of the device I want to port rom to, Port rom: rom of the device from which I want to port to my device).
  6. And any else necessary.

Trying to build for my SM-A256B. Cannot find device specific code.

I'm trying to build LineageOS for my Samsung Galaxy A25 5G (SM-A25B, a25xeea). At the moment, running:

Old LineageOS apps

Is it more secure to use third-party apps for general purpose tasks such as calling or texting, or the original old lineageos apps that come with an outdated rom? Thanks in advance

LineageOS questions! (Newbie)

I have an old OnePlus 6T that I want to rejuvenate. I think LineageOS might be the way to do that. I have a couple of questions before I try, if someone can help:

  1. I read the phone does not need to be rooted, is this true?
  2. If somehow something goes wrong, is it possible to revert back to the OEM OS? (OxygenOS in this case)
  3. How are system updates handled? Are they automatically updated like a regular OEM update, or do they need to be manually updated each time?
  4. Have you run into any compatibility issues with any apps?
  5. Are there any warnings or concerns I should be made aware of before considering the switch?

Thanks very much in advance!

Can I revert to Samsung OS *then* relock bootloader?

I know relocking the bootloader with LineageOS installed can brick a device.

...what if I reset everything back to Samsung OS first? And only then relock the bootloader?

Anyone done that? I'm using a Samsung S6 Lite tablet. Thanks!

Check model number?

In installation step 2 , it says

" Make sure that your model number is one of the following (exact match required!):

SM-T290 "

what does this even mean!!!

I bought a Samsung Galaxy 8.0 model, as the main page told me that this model is supported.

But my model number is SM-X200

The bootloader is also not the same. Is there any way to rollback to the previous bootloader?

It is the same hardware. Will it work?

SmoothDisplay (Refresh Rate) not working?

Hi there,

  • OnePlus 7 Pro (guacamole)
  • Lineage 21, current Nightly

In Display Settings "Smooth Display" is active, says to set the display to 90Hz, but different apps that show phone specs tell me: current 60Hz, availaible 60Hz & 90Hz.

Am I missing something here?

Also: Is there a way to lower display resolution in order to save battery?

Thanks in advance,

Juergen

APKpure stopped calls.

I just did an update to the latest version of APKpure, which, as nasty as it is, I've been using for a lot of my apps. As soon as I did the update, I lost the ability to make calls on my phone, even over wifi. A message came up saying to make sure I was connected to a network. As soon as I deleted APKpure, I was able to make calls again.
I'm using a Motorola G7 Power with LineageOS 20.

Just posting in case anyone else runs into the same issue.
