Lag - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Am I the only one who's S6 64gb lags?
The lags can be quite noticable (often at least a second) for doing tasks that I think this phone should easily be able to cope with - switching between apps, and typing using SwiftKey.
The problem seems to be resolved, at least temporary, after a reboot.
Any one else with similar issues?

i have the device for 2 weeks and no lag....so far so good....

I have the 32. Haven't noticed any lags. I do keep the recent apps list mostly clear...not sure if that make a difference though.

SwiftKey does occasionally lag.

Apps reopening themselves?

Ive noticed recently that my browser and youtube apps seem to minimize and then open again. I dont see the homescreen, the app kinda shrinks like it was closed, and then expands from the top. Im really not sure what has caused this. This only started happening recently and i have no idea what could be causing it. The only thing ive installed recently was the humble bundle games.
When it reopens, it remembers what i was typing in the youtube comment, but the video is stopped and i usually need to rewatch the ad before i can skip back to the video position. Really annoying on the bigger videos.
Other problems im having is i get random lines flicker across the screen, and almost looks like its an 'extra' line that shifts the image up by one pixel to make room for it.
And then i noticed on the asus keyboard there is a spot on the spacebar that doesnt work. It makes the typing sound when clicked, but no space character is typed. Its on the far right side of the spacebar. It was extremely frustrating until i discovered why half the things i typed had no space even though i was SURE i hit the spacebar.
I'm having the same issue, I posted a thread about it over in the Q&A section, but still haven't heard of any workarounds... but i will at the least confirm i have the same issues

I can also confirm I am having the same issues, all of them.
Especially prevalent is the apps minimizing then opening themselves up again. I've been trying to figure out if an app is doing it but I don't think this is the case. I have also installed Humble Bundle apps though, it could potentially be that.
The keyboard's spacebar seems to just be bad hardware design. I miss a lot of spaces as well and have slowly migrated my thumb to the center of the spacebar because of it.

Don't think it's the humble apps, I have the same issue and none of those apps.

Mine just started doing the open/close/open thing as well. Seemed like it started after the last update.

It was happening to me with the old firmware before i installed .18 even. I held off on updating until yesterday. Its got to be an app...
I think I fixed this issue by enabling GPU rendering in developer settings... Now the only issue is the random black line flickering which seems to be a common issue for everyone on Android 4.1.1

The apps re-opening issue has vanished for me, likely due to an app update im guessing. I didnt change anything except update some apps, though im not sure which one it could have been.
I still have the lines flickering, and the right end of the space bar on the virtual keyboard still doesnt work. Etc. Though, these problems seem more common so im guessing/hoping they will get fixed.
Yea I haven't seen it either.

KitKat Bugs?

Anyone notice scrolling w/in apps seems to look a bit choppy. I mean its still quite responsive just looks horrible. Any thoughts on how to remedy it
Also what other bugs are you seeing? Besides home button one.
Sent From My KitKat Ultra
Idk if I would say scrolling is choppy but I'd say that 4.2.2 might have just been just a miniscule bit more snappy than 4.4 is...
Benchmark scores (as unreliable as they are) would seem to verify this as my phone scores just a tad lower on almost every benchmark than it did on 4.2.2

Also having some choppiness in apps that I didn't have before. Hopefully some performance updates are in the works.

I have a bug, when I open my app drawer and scroll through the widgets once I hit the third page it is turns the screen off, every time

USB tethering with easy tether no longer works.
Just had Dolphin Browser/OS completely lock up.
After restarting the phone and clearing cache from recovery I received a bunch of emails from Outlook which had arrived around noon without updating.
Dolphin browser, when scrolling a page flashes a white screen but that may be dolphin and not OS related.
If anyone is on the fence for this update, best to wait for a better build.

Good build
There is absolutely nothing wrong with this build, at least nothing rising to a known or systemic problem that I'm aware of. It's a pretty damn good build...one question / variable would be; how many of you are on the ART runtime?
My battery saver toggles itself off after a reboot. Anyone else? That's all I can think of.
I use ART. Also tried with Dalvik.

I had a complete system freeze yesterday. Nothing responded except for holding power button to restart.

That sucks...I am having one problem now...Titanium is FC on launch...haven't heard back from them yet on known issue or not. I know they were having problems with ART in the past version.

[Q] Typing on OPO

Is it me or is typing on this device a pain?
Its like I have to type at the devices pace, as in, it cant keep up and letters get skipped or swipe activates.
I havent experienced this on any other device. Any help?
Im using the stock google keyboard.
What keyboard app are you using? I'm using SwiftKey and am not experiencing any problems with double hand typing, although flowing thru SwiftKey can have a lot of errors or sometimes I accidently have my hand on the enter button.

Im using the stock google keyboard. Its my favorite keyboard (at least on all the other devices lol)
Which phone did you come from? I have similar issues, but that's from switching from an iPhone! Try changing to ART I have found it a bit smoother.

Coming from HTC M8 and from Note 3
Try art and then if that doesn't work. Try another keyboard app like SwiftKey, it's free now. So you don't lose anything by trying either

Art helped a little bit but still bad, swiftkey feels better.
Thanks though
Its just you lol
Try using your fingers to type
I have also problems, in portrait mode and with the standard keyboard I can' t type a "b" . Its always the letter nearby... I use now smart t9 keyboard to avoid this problem. I already reseted the device,unchecked the gestures and contacted the support,but still the same !
Im afraid thats it hardware related ?

I have the same problems. Try using a touchscreen test app and it'll be even more clear of the inaccuracies. I'm not sure if this is a hardware or kernel issue

This isn't just you. There are plenty of people having this problem. Please, create a JIRA account here and "Vote" on the issue by using the links on the right (and also comment if you can). The higher the exposure, the more seriously they'll take this problem.
https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/BACON-55
As I said in the other thread, we're all very nervously waiting to find out if this is a hardware issue or a software one. I literally cannot reliably type on this thing unless I slow right the heck down and type like a snail.

All S6 lag when you near 50% storage?

I've heard this from multiple people. If this is the case this is very disappointing. I noticed that when I go a few days without restarting the phone it can lag pretty badly and I barely have anything on it. My HTC one m7 was almost unusable when my storage was almost full and if that happens on the s6 I'm going to be quite aggravated.

I have 16.71gb available and my phone runs fine.
Only 2 GB available and installed about 190+ apps and no issue so far
It's probably just the lollipop memory leak.
Mine lags most of the time when im using chrome. So I clear my ram with clean master &/ DU saver most of the time

XZ is very laggy!!!

Did any one have a lagg in the new xz phone,,
Because my phone is laggy too much!!
It was a little at first straight out of the box, then I did a factory reset and it is running as smooth as a baby's bottom.

Mine runs pretty smooth except snapchat. Sometimes it's laggy when I opened it, sometimes it wont load. But i think it's just the new updated of the app. It happens on my other phone too. Although I gotta say the 3GB does make it a bit slow under heavy load. It would take a few seconds to load up.
Can anyone else confirm lag or lack of on their F8332? I just ordered one because of the extra on-board storage but wondering if I should cancel my order and just buy a local model..
Cheers
Strange
That's really weird, mine is ultra smooth, it's a beast!
Caught the occasional stutter only whle setting it up, while 42 applications were being downloaded and a multitude of them running in the background.
Same here. Couldn't be happier with my XZ. The only time I experience any slight lag is when my battery gets to under 8%, & then I experience some lag, but that is the only time.

If you have "STAMINA mode" on then the phone lags. If it is off then there is no lag.
What version you have of laggy?
Sent from my SM-G935F using XDA-Developers mobile app
No lag on mine. Single Sim version.
