Even Google now scrolling between cards is stuttering. Droid-Life.com stutters, sipping between home screens or to quick sins page is also stuttering. I thought project butter was supposed to make this phone buttery smooth.

Quick Settings and Manage Pages definitely still stutter as they did in ICS. It's a moto thing, other launchers are smooth.
Everything else seems to be very smooth, for me at least. Is anyone not having those same stutters in the moto launcher?

Definitely more stutters than there should be on this phone, not sure what's up. Kind of thinking I shoulda got the s3. Usually just on the home screen but sometimes other places too.

Every time there is a major software version release, I completely wipe my phone to factory defaults & wipe the cache partition.
That way you can at least rule out a "faulty" upgrade.
This phone really should not have any stutter or lag on JB...
Where is project butter in this upgrade?

My phone was generally wonky and had plenty of stutters after the JB OTA. I held off for a while but finally did a factory reset last week and it made a HUGE difference. I also use Apex rather than the stock launcher and froze a bunch of bloat.

Stock launcher is worst launcher i have seen in a while. Circle widget and Side settings page is awesome ... but what the benefit if it lags as hell!.. JB update on this phone is a fail. Not sure how it helped us to get better performance.
Google now and the launcher are the main problem...generally speaking, most other programs and animations are *usually* OK. Every once in a while animations stutter for some unknown reason, but is not common. That being said, I don't really see the effects of project butter. Coming from a windows phone, this is not as smooth. I do still love my new phone for other reasons, though.
And if Google and Motorola can't push out an update without users having to factory reset, there is a problem. From a consumer standpoint, factory resets are a huge hassle and commitment of time...it shouldn't be necessary.

I think the poster before me is correct about the stock launcher and Google Now. In addition to using the Apex launcher I have GNow disabled. I can feel the Project Butter after being stuck on Gingerbread on my old Thunderbolt then starting out with ICS on my Maxx HD.
As far as people having to factory reset after the JB OTA I don't think that's been the case for everyone. It made a big difference for me, but I agree that I should not have needed to do it at all.

Guys, even after a hard reset, stuttering still present for me... Will at least RSD lite flashing help in getting my device to work as it should?
I am on 4.1.2 JB O2 Germany stock ROM.
Sent from my XT925 using Tapatalk 2
Update - flashed again, using RSD lite, and still stuttering... Will do it again, with another ROM. Any differences between 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 versions of JB?
RAZR HD via Tapatalk 2
This is very strange, mironiko - can you take a video to show us the stutters please? Interested to see on which actions it is stuttering the most.
Don't have a device to make the video... For instance, it stutters in Facebook, during usual scrolling, in Tapatalk, even in Gtalk or other system apps - animations are rather choppy, and I can't really see the Project Butter effect here...
Thinking of flashing Telstra ROM or some other, but don't know if it is gonna make things better... I don't see a reason for O2 Germany ROM not to work as good as the others, or even better, being 4.1.2.
May some app be causing that?
Sent from my XT925 using Tapatalk 2
Ah, I've read quite a few times that Google Currents on the Nexus 7 was causing stuttering if background sync is enabled - do you use this application?
No. Not even Google now. When it comes to Google apps, I only have Gmail, Gtalk, Search, Maps, Street view and Earth.
I really don't know what to do. I'll hate myself if I do a new flash (Telstra ROM, for instance) and a hard reset, and it doesn't help...

I would assume everyone has stutters but some noticemore than others.
It is not due to specific apps, it is just apparently poor coding on Motorola behalf, which is a shame I otherwise love the phone.

I agree with this. I posted on the official Motorola forum and eventually got someone in charge to recognize what we have been talking about, so maybe we will see a fix at some point. Hopefully before I move on to the Motorola X

Now I understand that next week we may see 3.1 which will supposedly fix the youtube lag. We will have to wait to see this.
What I want to know is if the latest firmware fixes some of the screen responsiveness and overall lag of the device. I mean I am getting a lot of lag on some websites to where they become almost unusable. NAMELY XDA! Also I am having to tap 2 or sometimes 3 times on items anywhere in the OS in order to get a response.
I noticed that the latest update says it "improves responsiveness", so I'm wondering if this is fixed. I am on 20110423. Can anyone confirm that the latest update does indeed improve touch screen responsiveness or speeds up the overall UI including the browser.
I was reading that the mcr hr5 rom speeds up the phone a bit. Can anyone comment on that before I take the plunge? The rom says it updates to the latest version, I also read that the latest updates lock the bootloader. I don't want to load up that rom to find out that I am now stock not being able to run custom roms.
Other than the above mentioned things I enjoy the device very much. Much more than an ipad. Only thing I can't stand is that the case creaks (SLIGHTLY) and that there is no oleophobic coating. The screen is trashed with fingerprints in under an hour.

Ill be updating tonight or tomorrow as this unit has screen bleed and is going back anyway.
Ill post after the update on the screen responsiveness and lagginess of the stock browser. I'm not sure that much will change. I think 3.1 will fix YouTube. Hopefully it will fix these other issues as well.
Hopefully I can find another unit without screen bleed. Otherwise its back to waiting for the galaxy 10.1

Xda is slow because there are so many ad links. Even my desktop is slow.
If you want to know about the 3.1 performance broese the Xoom forums. Users there have done a lot off testing.

My RAZR maxx HD has started to lag a bit after I installed around 87 apps, is that a lot of apps for the phone, should I delete some? Why would the number of apps on my phone make the RAZR lag if those apps are not running. I've only had this phone for 2 days now.
Sent from my DROID RAZR Maxx HD using Tapatalk 2
Of course I can't say if this the case for you but I think often when people experience lag its related to widgets. Try removing widgets temporarily to see if it does a difference.
The number of apps should not induce lag.

Hi everyone, I just got the max HD and my complaint is that it feels very laggy Compared to my wife's s3. Thanks!
I'm running liquidsmooth and I really like it so far..... I ran PAC for a few days but it had quite a few f/c's and lockups. I should mention, I've only installed two roms... So Might not be much help..
I had a lot of lag issues with the stock 4.1.2 firmware then installed slimbean and haven't looked back.
Great ROM, very snappy.

Concur on slimbean. I haven't tried anyone else yet and in no rush actually. At some point I probably will just out of curiosity. Anyway slimbean is super nice and much more fluid than stock. I love the idea of the rom being lightweight, still no real sacrifices made. It is also officially supported and with weekly builds. I recommend real dark slim for totally pure black look.
I'm running off Liquid Smooth on my XT926 and it's really smooth and snappy but I'm experiencing problems such as certain apps not working, random reboots, and apps freezing and crashing as well.
Currently running AOKP_xt925_unofficial_2013-07-26 - very VERY stable, snappy and great options/customization
Imo Carbon and Liquid are the best, im on the 7-31 nightly (Liquid) and there is no lag and none of the reboot/freeze issues most of the previous nightlies had. Haven't had a single crash in 3 days :thumbup:
Sent from my XT926 using Tapatalk 2
I recommend to try out the very new CyanogenMod nightly you now can find on the official homepage. It is not the most feature filled room but I am amazed how smooth everything is. This is exactly how stock should ought to have been. So far no crashes or any problems what so ever. If you want more features I recommend something like slimbean but cm is a really good place to start. Cm has demonstrated to me for good that the hardware in RAZR HD is perfectly adequate, if there is any lack it is only because of software.
I noticed you guys have Slimbean. I highly recommend it. I got it running on both of my devices, and If I get this it'll be running Slimbean.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2288532
It's fast, sexy and it gets the job done.
I'm also back on slimbean again. There is no fault with CM. For some it will be the perfect alternative to stock. It's smooth and simple. Slimbean is perfect for me. It is also smoother than stock and in addition has a ton of customization options to play around with. I'm currently on the last beta or alpha (I'm not sure) that there is a link to in one of the last posts in the slim thread. Despite the status as experimental, it has been completely stabile since I flashed it. For me it took almost I year before I unlocked (fear of loosing warranty etc.) but I'm really happy to have done it now. It's almost like getting a new phone. I think razr HD development is thriving quite well now.
yep the official slimbean build 8 is now out. super easy to install and manage and i am an amateur.

Don't forget to reboot your phone every day or two.

I'm on Stock and it took some time, and some optimation via Autostarts, Greenify, LagFix Premium and Governor Change via SetCPU helped in some way. Additionally i'm using Nova Launcher as Launcher and used Android Tweaker PRo.
Phone is way snappier than before, so i can stay with stock.

You're correct that the stock launcher is the main problem. I've been running Nova for a few months and the difference is staggering.

Just take that ish back my friend and get a new one. I had no problems with mine. Use stability test on play to test processor my MFLOPS was 620. Let the test run for an hour or something. If its messing up post the errors on here. I ran it for an hour on LiquidSmooth with no probs.
I'm on Android JB 4.1.2 on my RAZR HD and I have noticed a LOT of LAG, I was wondering, am I the only one with so much lagging on this version? I don't remember having so much lag on ICS.

Try clearing your app cache. Should run smoother.

I had the same issue.
Solved it by installing setCpu and changing governour.
Afterwards using Greenify and Autostarts to Freeze and Hibernate.
My Launcher is Nova Launcher Premium.
Last thing I did, was Installing LagFix Premium and everything was fine.
My Phone runs smooth and everythings fine.
Does this really worked for you? I reseted my phone but still hsve some lag in JB 4.1.2 and I only have used 1GB of the 8GB usable, so I don't understand, no App is causing the issue. I think this is the software, JB 4.2.2 run smoothly. But I'll try this steps, thanks man.

Does it lag anywhere other than the homescreen? The stock launcher on my phone was super laggy.
All of that, when it is more noticeable is when I press the home button to get to the homescreen (it almost takes 10 seconds to show all aps) If I happen to be able to take a screenshot, I will post it here.
I was able to get a screenshot and here it is. You can see the lag on the clock, temperature and battery widget

That's the worst part of the circle widget. I'd be awesome if someone could find out how to make it work with other launchers.

I remember reading another thread and there's a widget in the play store that is fully customizable into looking like the circles widget. I believe it's called uccw.
Make sure you reboot your phone every day or two, this solved a lot of my lag issues. Other launchers never helped me.

In my experience (which is limited) the only lag free user experience I've had with any Android phone is in an aosp or aokp rom. Does any manufacturer make an out of the box lag free Android phone? I find even freezing bloat does little to cure lag. what are your thoughts?

if you want a lag-free phone starting off look for a nexus ... that's pure android there no more tweaks than that
I'm vzw so will probably never have another shot at a Nexus or G. E. phone. Can't leave until wife's contract up plus I want to keep unlimited data. Are Nexus really lag free?
