Hello, To those who suffer from sluggish Iodé 6, you may want to try upgrading to Iodé 7 rather than downgrading to Iodé 4 : [Iodé 7 for Samsung S10 beta](https://community.iode.tech/t/iodeos-7-beta-is-here/) is now available ! You can then share your feedback with our community on how Iodé 7 beta compares to Iodé 4 (and Iodé 6) in terms of responsiveness. ---

I upgraded an s10+ to L4M 23.0 and it gets quite hot soon. Had to turn flight mode on and kill all apps to get it to cool down again. beyond0lte are fine though not having used them that much. It seems overall smoother but it could also be the difference between iode and l4m. ---

Hi Folks, I upgraded my S10 (beyond1lte) in Nov. 2025 from 4.x to 6.x and upgraded again to 7.x. Both versions, 6.x and 7.x deliver very sluggish experience. On the one hand the battery life last much longer but as @brazzmonkey says I can see app windows refreshing when switching between apps on the other hand. Performance is extremely slow right after switching off flight mode in the morning: It feels like all apps are working on their “we are online again” handler. When using fast setting buttons (pulling down notifications two times) the touches are very often handled as long presses. From my point of view (technical background, Embedded Software Developer) it feels like CPU is cut down to a minimum clock frequency value. The only thing I checked so far is the CPU governor which is “schedutil” on both 4.x and 6/7.x. Since my S10 is not rooted I as not able to experiment with changing the CPU governor. So if here reads someone with sluggish 6/7.x experience on a S10 which is rootet, maybe you can experiment with changing the CPU governor? kind regards Chris ---

Hello ! @chrisphl thank you for your feedback ! You can use ADB (Android Debug Bridge) to know about your CPU frequencies. Once ADB installed on your computer, with a USB cable to link your computer and phone, and USB debugging allowed in your developper options, type : ```auto adb shell ``` to enter into your phone with ADB. Typing : ```auto cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/cpuinfo_min_freq ``` will tell you the minimum frequencies allowed. My Samsung S10e with IodéOS 4.29 answers : > 442000 > 442000 > 442000 > 442000 > 507000 > 507000 > 520000 > 520000 Typing : ```auto cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq ``` will tell you the maximum frequencies allowed. My Samsung S10e with IodéOS 4.29 answers : > 1950000 > 1950000 > 1950000 > 1950000 > 2314000 > 2314000 > 2730000 > 2730000 Typing : ```auto cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq ``` will tell you the actual frequencies used at a given time. When my phone is idle with no apps launched and the screen OFF, il often answers : > 650000 > 650000 > 650000 > 650000 > 1066000 > 1066000 > 1820000 > 1820000 Right after I pressed the power button to wake my phone up, I had the following frequencies : > 1053000 > 1053000 > 1053000 > 1053000 > 1404000 > 1404000 > 1976000 > 1976000 What are your figures, @chrisphl ? Cobus. More info about my phone : Samsung S10e (beyond0lte) model SM-G970F ---

Good morning everybody, thank you @Cobus! Here are my readings: ```auto beyond1lte:/ $ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/cpuinfo_min_freq 442000 442000 442000 442000 507000 507000 520000 520000 beyond1lte:/ $ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq 1950000 1950000 1950000 1950000 2314000 2314000 2730000 2730000 ``` Current freq while nothing is done but display on: ```auto beyond1lte:/ $ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq 650000 650000 650000 650000 1222000 1222000 1040000 1040000 ``` I also tried to create some load to force the system to show sluggish beaviour. Therefore I started Iode Browser, played some Youtube video and toggled full screen mode. (The screen rotation animation is very sluggish everytime). While doing so i used `watch -n 0.2 ‘cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu\*/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq’` to monitor the CPU frequencies. What I often see while rotating screen to fullscreen (animation) is this: ```auto 1950000 1950000 1950000 1950000 1898000 1898000 936000 936000 ``` While the S10 screen is off, this is the output most of the time: ```auto beyond1lte:/ $ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq 1053000 1053000 1053000 1053000 1586000 1586000 520000 520000 ``` Overall I can see some CPU governor working when changing CPU load. Not sure if the correct CPU’s are handled though. kind regards Chris ---

Hi folks, I need to update this topic with good news: Two days ago I updated my S10 (7.1 → 7.2). Since then uage feels normal and smooth as before when using 4.x. I don’t know if the system code is fixed somehow or just the update procedure itself improves the system’s responsiveness. It feels good either way. 😊 Happy updating! 😉 Kind regards Chris ---

The sluggishness seems to disappear when you upgrade to iodé 7.1 I guess it was a bug with the iodé 6.X series ---

Just a long day of not sooo much usage and I have 45% battery life left. So battery usage is normal as before under 4.x. 🎉 @ToxicKing: For me 7.1 was slow/sluggish and the update to 7.2 seems to fix the bug. Kind regards Chris ---

thanks for reporting back, please keep us informed on how it is going in a couple days maybe its finally time to upgrade from 4.x 🙂 ---

Hi folks, here I am again. My mobile runs IodeOS 7.4 atm. Inspite of having told you installation of 7.2 fixes the issue the slugginess hasn’t gone complety yet. After “some time” to several days the phone gets sluggish again. But what helps me to get rid of it is to reboot the phone into recovery and use Factory Reset → Clear Cache function. Please be careful _not_ to execute complete factory reset in this menu! Reboot after success and have fun (again) with your mobile. Kind regards Chris ---

You may be able to do some memory profiling from Developer Options to get a better handle on the memory hogs. Typically I would see low RAM being the biggest contributor to slowness? But reboots would clear that up, so maybe as you describe it is needed to occasionally clear the storage cache. ---

Hi all, Just some feedback : I upgraded from IodéOS 4.32 to IodéOS 7.4 three weeks ago. I did not notice any sluggishness, and battery life did not suffer from the upgrade. Updating was a good move. But of course, you must backup all your data, as the upgrade will wipe everything in your phone. Have a nice day ! Cobus. ---
