hi everyone
so the past few months I discovered my phone was lagging a lot this is the 2 gb version.
most or the tile on apps like youtube and snapchat so found out a video on YouTube that helped me out.
you need to disable awesome player from the developers options on your phone then restart your device.
hope this helps others like me also out still not all lagg is fixed but at least snapchat and youtube are working better
Awesome Player is a legacy Android option, so disabling it on a recent version such as 5.1.1, it doesn't surprise me that makes your phone faster.
On my flex 2 is disabled by default. V 15e

Hello,
I just updated my tf101 to ics (ota official). On Honeycomb I think the YouTube app was the app I used to most, it could play HD content at full fps and there were no problems. Fast forward to ICS where every video either skips or lags when a lot of things are moving around on the screen. This has made the youtube app unusable.
When I still had CWM i was also using ICS roms, but they had the same problem, so, I went back to honeycomb and it worked fine again. For some reason I thought the custom roms were to blame so I tried the official ota.
So to my question, is anyone else having these problems? And if so did you solve it? Also, is there an alternative to the youtube app? (I have tried the web version but it's waaay slower than the app at playing video).
Thanks!
No problems here. You could try to goto Manage Apps and clear the cache for YouTube...and then if that doesn't work also clear the data. That would be the first step in trouble shooting.
for my case, is the 720p mkv files lagging, for youtube i notice some stuttering , not anything that obvious though. BTW many have reported video performance dropped dramatically on the ICS
So there is no way to fix this? I tried to download a trailer and it lags as well. So it is not just the youtube app. Shouldn't the tf101 handle videos pretty good?
I tried everything and finally...
I uninstalled adobe flash player, and it stopped skipping around. Wondering if there is a system conflict on this tablet as there is sometimes w/ desktop versions of google and the conflicts between shockwave and flash player... oh well, it worked. Super frustrating.
Hi,
I have a p6210 running a rooted stock odexed ICS 4.0.4 UELPC (us XARLPC).
My first problem is that the device lags and stutts when I navigate between the menus like for exemple the apps drawers or the control panel, or when I scroll.
It seems to come from the hw acceleration since it lags as well when I watch videos (on both audio and video) and the only way to overcome this is to use mx player with sw audio and sw video settings.
I tried to tweak my build.prop with various values, enable hw acceleration, force gpu etc. but nope, it still lags and actually it gets worse so I went back to the default values.
I tried as well in the dev. options in the tab settings to force gpu but no results either.
The second issue is battery drain, my once long lasting tab has seen is autonomy reduced by approx. 50%, not nice.
The third issue, that might be related to the second, is that the tab heats more than it did previously.
Any idea or help will be highly appreciated, thanks in advance!
Well i didn't experienced this in my galaxy tab plus. Im using a stock 4.0.4 without root. Im not into rooting anymore because i experience bricked and some hack problems when root.

I didn't experience such problems either. Did you delete/modify anything in system after rooting? Just rooting can not not harm your phone/tablet.
I deleted the gapps plus all the samsung bloatware but I don't think it's what causes the lags.
I deleted as well some permissions, lib and framework files like facelock recognition, network locator, google maps, minimode etc. but I have put them back and it still lags.
I think it's a hw acceleration problem, and I have seen elsewhere on the net that I'm not the only one experiencing such problem, other people complain as well about video and hw acceleration on games to have hickups.
When I tweaked my build prop to enable hw then it got worse, and the only way to have videos running without too many lags is to use sw decoding.
The same with mp3s, I had to enable audio buffer and audio thread priority, otherwise it skips like hell.
When I compare with my galaxy mini, whose specs are far lower but where everything is smooth, it's like day and night, even scrolling on the tab has hickups.
I may try v6 supercharger, but I'm not very confident about it since I used it on my galaxy mini without any noticeable effects...

Hey there, its been bothering me.
When I play games, such like asphalt, batman, and subway surfer, the tab get heated after wuite a long time. About more than 20+ minutes.
But when i am using stock browser or dolphin browser, the tab get heated much faster.
Anyone know why does this happens? Does thisnmean that browsers use more CPU compared to games(asphalt uses internet too, also scrabble).
Please and thank you!

I'm used to this issue on my 3 months old Galaxy Tab S, it has never worked as expected showing the maximum 1440p resolution until you clear YouTube cache and data, force close it, disable it Uninstalling updates, once this is done then you go to Play Store and look for YouTube, it should shows Enable, and one you enable it, and update to latest version, then you have your full resolution options including 1440p. Sad thing is that everytime there is a new YouTube update we need to do the same again.
I did the same steps on my Z3 just to see that it didn't work, so I went back to apps and saw that there are 2 more apps directly related to YouTube, I already have disabled Live On YouTube as I tried to use it and never weekend and then I realized that I'll never use it again. Anyway, I decided to do the same steps mentioned above but this time I also disabled the 2 YouTube extensions that are there, went back to the Play Store and Enabled and updated YouTube and when I went back to the app there are all the options including 1080p, one thing though, it seems to not stay skeeter by default, just select it and then re-start the video and you will see it on 1080p.
I re-enabled the 2 YouTube Extensions back just to see if it breaks it again but it seems that it still working so that's good news.
I hope you can fix it with this information, at least until the next YouTube update.
Hey erasat, thanks for the info.
Just tried, but I didnt understand which apps you meants by "2 more apps directly related to youtube"? - the Live On youtube & the youtube app itself? is that what you meant, or is there one more?

On my D6633 with latest Custom HK firmware, there are 2 apps named, YouTube extension and YouTube Karaoke extension in addition to the Live On Youtube that like I mentioned was disabled already.
There was a Youtube update last night, for my surprise and contrary to my Galaxy Tab S, the 1080p settings survived. So even better.
Sadly after Tuesday's update it seems that this is no longer working, just like it happens in my Galaxy Tab S. I've been doing the same steps I've done a lot of times now and what I described above and this time is no longer working, Highest resolution I can choose from now is 720p. Really frustrating...
Hey,
So I'm on a stock 5.1.1 and updated to the latest Google Photos version, which I think screws with my devices HW acceleration. Basically , after updating I can't watch any HD videos without the frames stuttering, the screen sometimes blacks out in middle of viewing videos as well. Searching around I found that more people experience this, but it isn't that widespread. The problem goes away if I revert the update. Any help for additional workarounds would be appreciated.
Thanks
I was able to find another solution to this. With the latest photos app running, I went in to developer options and switched from NuPlayer to AwesomePlayer making things working smoothly again when playing videos.
If anybody can check what player they're running after updating the app and tell me if they experience video playback stutter with it, I'd appreciate it.
Seems like Google switched between default players on the different OS updates, I'm wondering if they've done the same and it didn't register or something.
Thanks.

This worked for me also. Nice to see confirmation.
So basically, when I watch videos in the YouTube app on my XZs the video will play fine for a few seconds and after that it becomes horrendously laggy and stuttery. A quick fix is to just reload the app by turning the phone on and off again but this doesn't fix the issue in the long run. I haven't had experiences like this on any other apps, at least not to this scale.
Using a modded YouTube app like YouTube Vanced doesn't solve the issue either, so the issue probably lies within the app, but seeing as no one else on the internet seems to have the same issue it might have something to do with my particular phone as well.
The ROM I'm using is the AOSP 8.1 from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xzs/how-to/aosp-xperia-xzs-g8232-8-1-t3834174
however I've had the same issue while used OmniROM as well. It's also rooted with Magisk.
Fixes anyone?
