Experiencing lag here - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I am rooted using Beanstock R2 and using nova launcher. phone has been lightning fast, but noticed yesterday that there is a noticable lag between screens and opening/closing lock screen. already changed the animation speed in developer settings, I have rebooted, looked through settings and cant seem to find a resolution. Lag is really starting to irritate me!!!!
should I start by uninstalling nova and seeing if that helps first? run a backup on CWM first?

I remember fiddling through the settings on the phone when I first got it. Then suddenly things started to slow down immensely. Later, I found out that "Power Saving" was the cause for it. The Power Saving setting can be found in the system settings on your GS3. It really holds back the CPU to conserve battery. Turning it off may help increase performance on your phone.
Hope that helps..

HOLY SH!T that was it!!!!! thank you!!! didn't even realize that was checked. much appreciated

You're welcome! Enjoy the SGS3 at it's full power!

[Q] Laggy phone, chop! chop!

Ok so my Infuse was running OK. Then I downloaded a file manager app that can send/receive over wifi. I played around with it but then discovered that my phone got laggy as hell. The home screen was laggy and stuttery as i swiped through pages, and the live wallpaper that used to be smooth as glass turned into a choppy slide show.
I promptly nixed that app I downloaded. I then killed all running apps, force closed things I knew I didn't need, closed of services I didn't need, made sure all wifi and BT was off, and flushed RAM. I then rebooted. It got a little better but it is still laggy compared to what it was. I don't know what that crApp did to my phone! It is ruined! I really don't want to do a factory reset and lose all of my settings/apps and have to re-install, what a pain.
Is there something else to try? Maybe freeze apps (although not sure which ones I can freeze).
I am not sure how most people can use their devices if simply trying an app can slow it down so much. There has to be a way to fix.
I am on a stock ROM and rooted.

[Q] Lock Screen Turning On Ramdomly

Hello. I'm looking for some help. I've searched google and forums with no luck.
My 16gb S3, rooted-stock, keeps turning the screen on momentarily while locked (idle). Keeps happening every few minutes.
It certainly doesn't help my battery life.
My old Bionic used to do the same thing, and it was suggested that Beautiful Widgets was making it do it.
I have Beautiful Widgets now, but it wasn't doing it before. I feel like it begun after I installed Nova to try it out. I was using Go Launcher before that with no problems, although I haven't uninstalled it.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Extreme Lag, plus other issues since Jellybean Install

Purchased my Droid Razr HD on launch day and I must say I was in love with the phone on ICS. Was extremely excited when the JB update hit. But since I updated, my phone has been a complete mess. I have been patient in hopes it would fix itself, but below are some of the issues.
When I unlock the phone, the clock in the circle widget lags, so I will unlock, it will say 2:00 for a solid second or two, then update to 2:10. The time should not lag like that. It basically lags and adjusts every time I unlock it. If I haven't touched my phone in 45 minutes, I'll unlock, it will say 2:00, then two seconds goes by and it updates to 2:45
When I hit messaging to view my texts, all of my contacts show up as just phone numbers, then after a few seconds the names load. If I scroll down further they are still numbers then switch to names.
The browser goes unresponsive. Everything from inability to swap tabs, to hitting a link. Usually I'll force stop chrome.
Overall the entire phone experiences major lag issues. Typing, swapping apps, etc... Anyone else experience this? Could the phone have just downloaded the OS poorly?
same here buddy! i wish i can roll back to ics

It's seriously making me want to dump this phone.
Indeed there is lag. Here's a funny thing, I get lag using the stock launcher and swiping the page from left to right with the any of the stock image wallpapers loaded.
However, if I use a live wallpaper (say Phase Beam) the swiping from left to right with the live wallpaper active is blisteringly quick.. How fcuked up is that?
I am having the same issue. I factory reset the phone before flashing JB. I also have times that the phone is completely unresponsive and requires a hard reboot. Any ideas?
there is definite lag when scrolling over to the quick settings page, idk why motorola can't get that fixed. My big complaint is the lack of stock android browser. I hate chrome, its slow compared to the aosp browser. I actually bought another Galaxy Nexus and am going back to that. Will miss the battery life though. You could always use the utility in the dev section to go back to ICS though
I used the utility to go back to ICS. I didn't have lag issues, actually my phone on JB was much faster and smoother. I went back because of all of the features missing from JB. For instance:
1) Motorola keyboard (much better than the AOSP keyboard in JB IMO)
2) Manage internal storage feature (gone in JB)
3) Wired headphone equalizer in ICS works on anything coming out of the headphone jack. (In JB it only works in the music app)
4) Also there is a bug where if you are listening to music through headphones and get a text message, the notification only comes through at less than half volume and there is no pause in the music. I have missed several text messages because of this. Even if i know the sms is coming through and i see it appear on the screen i still can't hear it over the music
I'm sure there were a few more things i am missing, but those were enough for me to switch back.
same lagg here
on ics, adw launcher heped with my lagg, but on jb, doesnt seem to matter what launcher i use, lagg everywhere. unlocking is annoying and sms app takes a bit to populate. cant wait for a solid cm 10.1 for this. I feel like its the only fix.
I would have thoght since motorola is owned by google, the os would be as good as the nexus. NOT even close
Not the ideal solution, but have you guys tried doing a full wipe factory reset and/or wiping the cache partition?
My Razr HD has just started developing a "dim" screen from waking after a long period. Not sure if this is software or hardware, it doesnt happen all the time - maybe once a day - but I have to go to the display settings and check/uncheck the auto brightness box to fix it....
Any of you out there having a similar issue??
I installed nova launcher prime and it is extremely smooth.

I wiped my cache using fastboot and, initially at least, things seem much smoother. Give it a try.

What? I tried to get to the stock recovery, but I cannot seem to get past the "dead android" screen no matter what button combination I try.
Edit: you have to be really precise when holding down the volume up and down buttons lol
Is it hold down the power/lock button, then tap volume up? Think that's the combo on my Nexus S
I've been trying to figure out this lag thing too...I really dislike lag. I disabled Google Now & disabled the Verizon Apps as previously suggested. I also think I may have found something awesome:
It may be premature, but I believe I've found a way to get rid of almost all lag. I installed this apk called Seeder.
My lag pretty much gone. I've been disappointed in EVERY Android phone I've ever had (because of lag)...this seems to have fixed it.
I installed the leak the second it was confirmed to be the legit Verizon approved build and the lag for me was comparable if not slightly better than ICS. Nova Launcher is good though, you lose the settings menu that always lags the first time you swipe to it, but you can replace that with Power toggles for the pull-down menu.
What you're experiencing seems much worse than what I remember because the phone was still highly usable, just not perfect. I was never a big fan of Circles, even after removing it from my home screen it would find its way into my list of running processes till I froze it with titanium backup. I froze virtually all the Verizon crap that'd run constantly too and the phone has been nearly flawless since installing Nova.
Also came across several sites I need to access for work that render horribly slow on Chrome like Hawaii'sVIP, it just chugs along like a slide show. Dolphin Browser on the other hand renders heavily populated pages almost instantly. It also looks truly hardware accelerated during rapid zooming and scrolling, where Chrome often jumps around and loads the page in chunks.

[Q] Closing apps when done with them

Is there away to have an app exit when I am done using it automatically? Or maybe close all recent apps when the screen goes off? I only seem to get battery drain in standby when have apps running in the background. If I close everything it seems to last for a very long time.
I have tried a couple of the developer options that looked like they would do exactly what I am looking for but "Background process limit" doesn't seem to do anything and "Don't keep activities" makes my tab very laggy.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

You can try something like Clean Master and its companion widget 1Tap Boost.

Galaxy s10e. Lags after update to android 10

Hello to all. unfortunately after the update to android 10 some lag appeared that remind me a lot of the s8 .... it's a nightmare that haunts me. I did not reset and I would like to avoid it, could someone tell me if it has been affected by this problem and if it is possible to remedy it without resetting? thank you
I would suggest first wiping the cache from stock recovery mode. See how it runs and if it picks up. You do also have to ensure apps are updated as needed.
Mine lagged too after the oneui 2 update. I've done a reset and at first it was smooth before I restored apps and settings. But after restoring it started to lag especially on home and recents screen. I found a solution to turn off adaptive power saving. Now it's super smooth
Edit: I found out that the lag comes from accessibility services. Mine was AutoSkip. After I turned it off home and recents becomes smooth again.
So, did u advice to avoid the update? I bought mine today and I was wondering if it was worth it...

If you just bought the device, I recommend to not install all your apps yet, but first update all way up to Android 10 (keep updating until there’s no new updates available), and then make a factory reset. After this you can install your things normally.
I've made this process and now my S10e runs like a butter!
EDIT: As mentioned by @kdanina, turn OFF adaptative power saving, but let adaptative battery ON. They seem to be similar but in practice the first one is flawed on our device.
