IMO, yes to an extent . A launcher with lighter 'skin' makes the whole IU smoother. But when you do launch an app and it starts to lag, thats usually hardware's problem.

Ok.

This version 8 miui really bad. Let me hold for couple more months if still no improvement will jump ship.

Yes, is worse. So I move to the dev roms. Slightly better, maybe once a day need to reboot to get gps. 8.2.3.0 is like almost every time i wanted to use waze it need a reboot.

After 3 days testing, so far didn't need to reboot my phone. Sometime the GPS will need 3-5mins to lock but not always. This maybe a temporary workaround. Will test longer.

my location mode options:
High accuracy
Battery saving
Device only

if I choose anything else besides high accuracy and I turn on Waze, it will ask me to turn on GPS which then automatically sets my location mode to high accuracy.
*
I am now using "Device only" didn't ask me to change. "Battery saving" will ask me to change.

Advisable to turn it on all the time to make the tracking location more accurate? hmm.gif

There is a bug many facing with this phone, if I turn on high accuracy it take forever to lock, and i will need to reboot the phone to get it lock. So far using Device only I can get it lock only if i did not use the GPS for long it will take up 3-5mins to lock it.

Not sure if you guys had this experience before, Waze takes forever to search network. I can lock GPS and even load whatsapp msg. But when comes to search network for real time reports of traffic jam, accidents, it can't lock. Only solved after I formatted my phone. hmm.gif

As for the GPS locking, takes around 1 minute for it to lock after I goes back to waze spending some time on other apps.

Do you guys change the settings in developer options? I am trying to boost my phone to performance instead of quality/balance settings. For now I only turn off all animations. Any other settings that I should turn on/off to boost the phone performance? hmm.gif

"Searching for Network" issues usually connection "internet" to waze server. I do faced this problem and quite often too. Not sure is due to Telco or Waze itself. What i did was switch on airplane mode and switch it off after 10 sec. So far it was working (in my previous phone). This Note 3 i am facing GPS issue while the network issues is not often but do happen.
