Hi,
I bought yesterday my galaxy s6. Everything was going fine, the new touchwiz looks really beaultifull, the screen was the best display I ever seen, the fingerprint sensor works great, etc.
Nevertheless, i noticed a stuttering/scrolling lag in almost every app. For example: scrolling up and down on whatsapp chats stutters every time. It is not smooth as my old iphone 5. On instagram, facebook, contacts, playstore, occurs the same problem... they are not heavy apps, I can not really understand why it is happening. It is bothering me and I will come back to apple if this problems persists.
Anyone have an idea about how to make it work perfectly as a gadget called "the next big thing" and that costs US$ 800 should?
I'm thinking in try to root and install a debloated room, but I will probably lost my warratie if I do this
Hey so while playing with some settings to try and prevent my apps from being killed so aggressively, I noticed that by limiting the amount of background process you can limit the amount of stutter. I have it set to "at most 4 processes" and I've noticed a vast improvement in the stuttering in apps. Just enable developer options and scroll all the way to the bottom and it should be there. Hope that helps!

1.Turn off power saving mode it causes glitches
2. Iphones have smoother scrolls than android becoz of optimisation of ui
Sent from my SM-G920I using XDA Free mobile app
in general, iphones are smoother in 3rd party apps, because of the optimization, and in facebook if you give it a couple of seconds to make it load everything then it wont lag or stutter, in twitter it does stutter......in contacts app there is no lag at all.....i am using the phone for about two and a half weeks.....
Hi everyone! I tried all the solutions that you mentioned... yesterday I tried many configurations and I realized that the main cause for the scrolling lag seems to be the google apps... I reset the phone 3 times and in my last try I installed whatsapp, configurated my e-mails, instagram and facebook was ok. But when I installed the play store, everything start to have lag/stutter.
Does anyone also noticed this?
It is important to mention that, even when the system was "good", when I was scrolling, I realized a slight stutter. It is really hard to accept that android will never be smooth as iOS. This galaxy s6 has a much much better specifications than apple's phone costs the same price.

I tried to find a solution via xda and other forums and didn't the solution. I understood that this stutter is caused by the UI of Android, which loads the information different from in iOS. However, I didn't find any solution as you mentioned. Could you please post the link?

You should stop comparing android and ios, what ios does is loads everything first then displays and android does both at the same time, ios has too much optimisation to solve each and every smallest issue and they have enough time too as they have only 2 devices a year , though when you get a highly functional and customizable UI like android some stutter is understood in fact we users dont even notice it. Both ios and android are made differently they funtion differently and are made to please different types of customers android focuses more on funtions and features which are at much higher level than ios! Let me give you an example , even if you buy one of the best laptops you will still find stutter because the UI is too complex to work smoothly on the level of ios! If you know a little about coding you would have an idea that smaller the code smoother the program is and thats what ios does plus it has optimisation. My advice would be you would get used to it just ignore it and you will stop even noticing it plus you wpuld admire theore functional andrpid UI!

And they scroll much slower / more limited. Try to scroll through a long list or webpage with just one or two swipes - it's almost impossible on iOS because there seems to be a hard limit how far you can go with one swipe. This can be really annoying in daily usage if you want to get to the bottom of something, but also means that it has to load less content at once which makes it look smoother.

So the android will never be smooth as iOS? It's really hard to understand the reason. For example, windows phones is smooth as iOS and was made to work with several hardwares.
There is any way or app that could help the scrolling by slowing down as you told?

See stutter is only seen in 3rd party apps which are made by other developers and not google ,you wont see them in preloaded apps,so it would be wrong to blame android for that and there is no connection to hardware, windows again is less complicated than android and hence better smoothness so the best would be ignore it you wont even notice after a few days !

Found it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/help/scrolling-performance-t3090271
I'll never stop comparing android with ios.
My old galaxy s4 (FlexOs rom) was as smooth as my girlfriends iphone 5, and faster opening apps.
unfortunately wifi and bluetooth stopped working after 2 years
So, what I did?
I bought the new galaxy s6 hopping it was smoother than galaxy s4.
Everything is really faster. But scrolling is driving me crazy.
I Don't care if both ios and android are made differently and function differently and are made to please different types of customers.
I could scroll with s4 and I can't anymore with s6.
Its not true that Android never became smooth as IOS.
I switched from Nexus 5 to S6 and its a Samsung Problem. My Nexus 5 ist smooth all the Time! On Play Store and Facebook.... I compared with Iphone 6 and its really Smooth. Xperia z3 ist near on Nexus 5 smoothnes. Try it by yourself you will see.
Maybe Samsung have to ask Sony how to make the you UI smooth as Xperia UI in my Opinion.
Totally agree, it's Samsung causing the stutter.
My girlfriend has Xperia Z3 Compact and it runs smooth.
S6 stutters a great deal compared to her Z3 and especially my Nexus 5.
I still use the Nexus 5 although the S6 has a better camera, display and sound.
Stock android fully optimized for S6 (option to use Samsung camera app) is what I'm looking for, any tips?

Hey is it just me or is the FUZE just slow and lags all the time? i flashed the rom and put in the ENERGY ROM but it's still slow sometimes, especially when I text but even in general functions.
Does the internal memory have anything to do with speed? Is it possible for me to transfer all my text messages to my microsd (and to save future ones on my microsd card)? Thanks!
I was looking at apps for touch pro using the live marketplace and other sources as well. Man there aren't too many good ones; i think windows probably as the worst app selection, which iphone being best and android second am I right? Can someone correct me on this? For instance, I was just trying to find an English to Chinese dictionary; i searched for hours and I finally came up with one decent dictionary. In comparison, I used my friend's Iphone to look for one and a ton just came up in a few minutes wtf. man I'm really getting frustrated with this phone lol; i thought it'd be really great but honestly now i'm kind of disappointed. i might even just get an iphone just because there's so much platform support for it. So many websites have apps specifically designed for iphone that it's really convenient...the same can't be said for htc =/.
Have a look at these Chinese Dictionaries:

Laggy device ! I'm on standard latest 6.1 ROM & not having any real issues. Probably related to ROM, settings or installed software.
Windows Mobile is far more flexible than iphone ect but it does need more user knowledge to get the most out of it.
I already looked at those for the most part...I was just looking for free dictionaries lol. I don't want to pay for one because 1) I'd rather use my money on other things lol 2) if i reset the device, I'm not sure if I can reinstall it so that could be a waste of money.
I can't believe one of them is 200 dollars wtf lol.
Btw, I would think that the game support for Windows Mobile would be great because well it's PPC so I assumed games would be easily ported from PC. Man the games suck on PPC lol. I tried installing COD2...the controls were so bad I gave up. The only good games I've gotten are NFS and this game called Meon.
Hmm so you think that the device's hardware is laggy or is it something about my phone? Do phones get slower over time?
I think the lack of support for Windows Mobile compared to Iphone and Android is definitely one of the big problems. the latter two OSs are so much more user friendly and intuitive (although they have their own problems but I think the benefits outweigh the cons). If only Iphone had a slideout keyboard lol...
Really depends on what you use the device for in regards to applications, I have software related to engineering calculations that is only available to PPC platform plus I like the hackability of CE platform giving the ability to make things how you want them.
Games are a bit limited but you can find a few good ones & also a few good emulators for sega ect.
Support is good for the PPC but not so much in the average mobile users needs for games & gizmo apps.
Is there a way to save all my text messages onto my microsd card and access it from there instead of saving it on the internal memory?

from the sound of things, you havent even tried to tweak it?
if you go into the home settings, experimental, you can switch between tablet and smartphone layouts. smartphone layout is what you'd want for our screen. the only downside is that smartphone layout reverts to a 4x4 grid with larger icons. hopefully they'll fix it in future. the only other issue is that due to the unusual screen size vs resolution, some of the widget borders arent placed correctly.
personally, i used it on my old motorola atrix, and now im using it on my note. i prefer it because it leaves me much more free ram over the course of the day compared to touchwiz, and it has the widgets that i like. it also seems to run smoother for me compared to launcherpro.
I have SPB Shell 3D on my Note and it works really well. If you are finding everything too small, you need to change the settings from tablet mode to phone mode - then it will look pretty much as you would expect. In the long run I actually really like tablet mode - it's pretty small but you can fit a huge amount of info on a screen. Overall speed and visual quality is great in either mode.
I'll have to admit that I don't use it that often, but it is a really sophisticated launcher......
where is that setting found ?? Tablet & Phone.
oops .. never mind found it !

SPB is very nice. Very cool looking if nothing else. I've used it for a few weeks but I keep going back to ADW. Some of the swipe shortcuts you can do with ADW are just too useful to pass up and I like the ways you can customize the dock with ADW.
SPB Mobile Shell update
This launcher has been updated and now you can alter the size of the Android widgets!! It is a great alternative and it seems to make the Note even snappier all round, from responsiveness to opening and scrolling through the screens - a great alternative to TW!!
Some of the SPB widgets are excellent too!
Looks good but not worth the price IMHO.
Holy crap, its amazing

SPB widgets are awesome, but the downside is its still stuck on either 4x4 or 16x16. they need to give users a choice. i'd personally prefer either 5x5 or 6x6 with the resolution we have.
ah well, hopefully they'll update it soon since there are a lot more HD phones launching next year. although HD doesnt have as many pixels as our WXGA display, the extra features would still be appreciated. its nice to know theyve adjusted the scaling of the widgets to match our displays though, the calendar widget now displays properly.
oh and SPB manages ram usage a bit better than touchwiz from my experience. you end up with more free ram to play with.
I'm using spb in tablet mode and I think it's amazing.
Much snappier since the recent updates and I can fit loads on the screens.
Just needs a few tweaks like customization of dockyard etc and I'm very happy.

1.5 fixes the scaling issue (ie. text no longer pops outside of windows). it also adds more panels and improves panel management.
just dont update to 1.52. i just did. it adds support for android 3.x and 4.x but it messes up the scaling so text on some screens is small. the weather widget doesnt look as good in 1.52 compared to 1.5.

Hi,
I don't know if its only in Canada but I have netflix logo on the box and pre-installed on the tablet... It's unbelievable I can't even scroll the interface of netflix cause the tablet is just too slow, is it the same for everyone ??
Same thing for browsing the web, all the browsers are so slow its not even funny.
I don't get how some people in the a700 forum are saying its fast and responsive, I have a Htc One X and a Nexus 7 and the a700 is soooo slow in comparison.
Too bad the screen is super nice and I really like the size.
I have the german version and netflix isn't installed (they just started in the UK and trying to 'invade' westeurope ).
I don't have any major lags and it's running pretty fine (but not perfect).

US model. Netflix pre-installed, and I agree it runs like cold peanut butter. I uninstalled the version that came on it, installed an old cracked all-versions apk from last year, and when Google Play updated it, it ran fine.
My browser experience is fine, though. I'm using Dolphin and it is nice and smooth. Opera only shows up on half the screen, Firefox was the little engine that couldn't, and xScope was amazing, but only accessed mobile sites.

How is the battery life? What is your opinion of this versus the Nexus 5X / other relatively small android phones?
How does Sense 7.0_g compare to regular Sense 7.0? I've read that 7.0_g is more stripped down, but the only difference aside from some apps being left out is the multi-tasking screen and the pull-down notification tray. Any other glaring differences you notice?
What I'm most curious about is gapless playback, since HTC phones have been pretty awful at this previously. Specifically, (and obviously you can't test this if you don't have any gapless albums,) does Google Play Music do gapless playback properly?

Battery life is good but not stellar. I don't have a Nexus 5X, but I do have basically everything else, and yeah, you have to keep it topped up a little more diligently. But it's far, far better than the Galaxy S6.
As far as Sense 7.0g goes, it's very light. HTC took the right things out, in my opinion.

Does the screen support high sensitivity touch (i.e. does it work when I'm wearing gloves)? Also how does one typically enable ambient display on Android? Surely any phone with an AMOLED screen should support this. I'm coming from a Lumia 925 and hoping that this HTC will be my next device.

I don't think these apps work in A9. The phone need to have proper resource files to run these apps and these can be installed only at system/ also, root needed to access /system.

I like my Note Pro. I use the pen and have quite a few pen apps.
Can someone who uses the tablet give a quick review og how it works, what's great and what's not so great?
I'll then be better prepared to decide if I want to flash the ROM
I'm particularly interested in how the SPEN works and if it's any different to the stock rom. I know I'll be missing the Samsung apps. Just want to see if the pen works the same way in 3rd party apps.
How fast/Slow is the ROM?
Thanks
I JUST flashed my tablet yesterday with OS 14.1 on my P900. It really runs great. Still haven't most things but I made a nandroid backup of my stock rom in TWRP and I can flash back any time I want.
It's fast and so far stable.
Maybe I just got really used to stock-based ROMs, but I'm not a fan of how Lineage runs on the P900. I mean..It's stable...Everything I need works. I use Lineage on other devices, and pretty much all of my old devices have CM on them. I just can't explain why I don't like it on this.
(I am currently using it on this...Probably going on two months)
I've been using it for 1 month and it works quite well. All the features are great and the system runs really fast. The problem is that some of the old features (floating windows, specific software for s-pen and quick access) are not available in Lineage OS 14 for sm-p900... so I ended up missing some of them. I will try the Touchwiz adapted to sm-p900 (based on android 6.0 marshmallow) which is still an upgrade for what I had at the beginning... I'll tell you about this when I try it.
PD: I've been using CM-Spen Add-on as a substitute for SPen software, but it doesen't feel the same.

I assume the Nougat Split screen works OK - I don't really use floating windows much
And palm rejection when using the stylus? Is that a hardware feature and still working OK?
Is the stylus lag more or less noticeable?
I'm using MS OneNote for it's syncing features, and it's really quite good these days. Does this work do you know?
Does the stylus need to be calibrated? Or does it match what you touch on the screen 100%
Is there a continuous dot on screen, when the stylus is very close to the screen or touching?
Is the battery drain better or worse than touchwiz?
Thank you
