Massive lag in scrolling - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

This thing is really not very smooth scrolling and the worse culprit is Facebook.
Anyone else finding this? UK phone exynos processor.

I would suggest that FB app is the culprit........had issues on my Note 4, and HTC One before that.

Scrolling is extremely smooth on my Snapdragon version

I'm coming from the S7 Edge, using the S8+ now, it's smoother than on the S7 for sure. No lag at all

Experiencing serious scrolling lag in all apps in my s8+ exnos global version

Zero lag on my EU Exynos S8+.

i got the scrolling lag issiue, too Exynos EU (Germany) pre-ordered form samsung directly.
i do have an lag issiue in the gallary app, too .... sometimes i scroll down the screen do not know scrolling down or up and the screen (picture) "vibrates up and down"

I had this when I first installed it. Clear cache from the start up menu. Should help no end.
BTW it made no difference when I cleared cache from the storage setting - do it from the start up menu. Bixby and volume down I think...whilst starting.

The only weirdness I've had is in Nova launcher on the up and down app drawer, when you pull it down slowly, sometimes it judders in small steps until its closed but it only does that if you pull it down really slowly and stop after a few mm. Other than that I've had no lag whatsoever.

Try changing screen resolution then changing it back to what you had it on (FHD to QHD etc) My device smooths out significant. Not sure how this makes sense but it works. Try it!

I had same problem.. i unistalled bixby button remapping apps i had 2 of them... Now its buttery smooth.. try it, i dont remember which apps i had but you can try unistalling remapping apps

If you have any accessibility service enabled, disable it

Mine scrolling is extremely smooth everywhere. No issue at all. I am using Exynos edition with QHD+ resolution.

Same issues on my S8+ Exynos! Slow and laggy!

Yeah, same here. It's really bad on Chrome

Performance? Stuttering

Touchwiz launcher stuttering when swiping. Even more stuttering while playing music.

Solution? Don't use TouchWiz.
This phone is just laggy period. You can thank the crapdragon processor.
Yeah. I miss the i777 Exynos. Everyday, I find something that used to be perfect on the i777, but choppy on i727. But when LTE hits California 2-8 months from now, it'll make up for it when I tether.

+1 Coming from the I777 where everything was just so smooth I'm still debating whether return it. I'm guessing is a software issue.

Question is will ICS make things better or worse. I'm willing to give up 10-20% in cpu performance for the five times better network performance.
I got rid of touchwiz. Im using LauncherPro
you have an issue. no lag here at all when swiping even when playing music.. don't blame the proc.

So maybe I do have a defective unit. But the thing is I'm not just the only one noticing the lag. I could only get 1 return. Osgs2 or a new skyrocket? Have you notice any lag on the twlauncher with a few Widgets? And worst when playing music. Swipe quickly left and right.

i run several widgets... beweather, taskmanager, traffic monitor, google search, agenda calendar and 6- 8 bookmarks.
without knowing what those with this issue are running it is very hard to say. do not limit your list to just widgets. list all 3rd party apps and stock apps that you have not removed. also include what rom and tweaks you have done...
Music app lags when it's loading album art. Derp.

I have 0 lag. Even with stock rom/kernel I had 0 lag by removing the crapwidgets running and installing spare parts to set Anim to Fast.
TouchWiz is definitely not the fastest of UI's anyway, but it is running mint here.

That might be your perception. Is not smooth PERIOD.
Android PERSE is laggy and choppy.
iPhone is SMOOTH
Launcher pro is nice
Go launcher is a tad laggy.
Maybe ICS.
To all the Android owners that I have talked about that say, their phone is smooth and mint I can tell them look here.... Their reply.. DAMMIT!

At&T SGS2 was running super smooth for me, no matter how many Widgets, live wallpaper or apps running in the background. The only slight stutter I ve seen on the skyrocket is in the launcher and only visible when running a few Widgets. Could be a firmware issue from "Samsung" not stock android. Comparing perfomance iPhone to android is not fair at the time, if anything compare it to WP7 since there's no multitasking, Widgets, background process, live wallpaper,ect on either phones.

[Q] Is this lag normal?

I have a Samsung galaxy note 10.1 and it is very laggy on the home screen. Is this normal? Here is a video I made with my camera
http://youtu.be/a3tyXOrQ4oo
Before I send it back I just need to check if it is normal or not
Without seeing the video, I'd say it's normal for the default home screen (Touchwiz) to be a little laggy when compared to a vanilla Android (like the Nexus 7) or a third-party home screen like Nova Launcher.
I'd personally recommend Nova Launcher.
it is not THAT laggy. and with JB update it is smooth.
In slow motion land, that is not normal. Try making a proper video first
not normal @ least in my experience mine has virtually no lag! I think that the opinion That Touch wiz is Laqqy is a bit off I have both the
S3 and N 10.1 and neither is at all Laqqy

Thanks for the useful comment.
I have updated the video to a higher quility.
Also waithing for Samsung Techy to call me back regarding this.
I did the slow motion to show the jumps it makes. some times it is smooth to some extend but most of the times it jumps huge parts.
Factory reset did not fix it and installing JB will void my warranty. So if there is a hardware issue then I will be stuck with it,
Try a different launcher from the play store like Nova it apex see if that helps. Also try clearing the cache for the touchwiz launcher if another launched works then u know its not hardware.

Describe your lag...

Mine was pretty bad, but after doing a factory reset twice now, I can report my lag is not bad.
I see a SLIGHT stutter in the opening/closing animations of apps. Definitely lag in the app drawer. The lockscreen is probably where I see the most unresponsiveness/lag. You hit the power button and you have to wait a second, then its fine. The animation from the lock screen to the home screen almost always stutters. The default browser seems about 95% zippy and responsive. Pinch to zoom stutters occasionally. But touchwiz seems very smooth and fluid for the most part. The camera takes perfect pictures. There also is some shutter lag, but not bad.
Overall, the phone is nice, but I am going to be calling Samsung/AT&T and do whatever it takes for them to fix this. This is unacceptable. I noticed that the apps I put on my phone, the more the lag grew. I disabled a lot of the AT&T bloatware and Samsung garbage. Right when I performed a factory reset my phone had ZERO lag. So those getting new devices are probably experiencing what I did. The lag slowly came back, but not as bad as before.
My only reason for not returning it is, once this device gets roms, its going to be a beast. But right now, its performing like a 2011 device.
I reset mine 20 times and it still lags

I've done one factory reset and things have improved quite a bit. However, it's still not performing anywhere near where it should be. Can't wait for AOKP..

What about with the lockscreen?
The S2 was such a beast OTB, I actually miss it.
I just got off the phone with Samsung support and they took notes on this issue. Of course, this was the first he heard of it. We gotta inform Samsung there is a problem.

Why in the world would you start a new thread about this. We're the other 10 or 15 lag threads not worthy of this content?

I've read them all, trust me. Nobody exactly describes what is going on with their lag. Some are reporting minor lag, while others are reporting much worse lag. I was hoping everyone call describe exactly where the lag is and when its happening.
i guess i'm lucky. I dont experience any lag, whatsoever.

Dude this is the 2nd thread you made about the lag, theres already 20 threads about it
To be honest I kind of agree with the OP. I've read many lag threads but nobody mentions what's lagging. The only lag I've noticed on mine is the gallery is super slow. At least 3 seconds to load from home. I haven't tried quickpic yet though. Mostly because I'm finding air view useful.
But really, other than the gallery, zero lag.

Hmmmm is this like the homebutton lag like the first GS2 had ? or is it worst ?
Hey guys just wanted to say, I followed the trickster mod in the general section and my lag has been reduced by about 95%. My quadrant scores are also a bit higher.. Might wanna check it out

I deleted about 97 apps / processes and have another 4 frozen, turned animations to zero, forced enable GPU rendering, installed Nova launcher, and am running Trickster..
The entire phone is lightning fast now with the exception of the keyboard opening and closing. The Samsung KB is unusable.. Swiftkey works much better but it does still have very minor lag.
The steps I have taken are insane and should not have to be done on a phone carrying these specs. This phone should flat out scream right out of the box.

Yea I reduced my animations to 0.5x and it definitely helped. Everyone should at least do that much. Most people do that on custom ROMs anyway.

Does the LG android skin lag/stutter like samsung's s6/s7 touchwiz?

For anyone that claims there's no lag on the G4, s6 or even s7 please don't even reply because you are just wasting time. I'm guessing anyone who ever experienced stock android can answer this and hopefully one of them can answer this. Please let me know if it lags and stutters, I am thinking of trying out this phone for 3 months
I have both the lg g5 and s7 edge and my onest opinion the lg g5 does not lag like the s7
Sent from my LG-H830 using XDA-Developers mobile app
I've owned an S7 and returned it back after dealing with the G5.
So, no the G5 does not lag like the S7.
I see the same. My G5 is quicker and smoother than my S7 edge. The S7E was super smooth but as with most if not all Samsungs lag develops after some time. I love Samsung devices. Heck I always have one around but I will not deny that there is a little lag.

The phone feels much slower than a Nexus device. My Nexus 6 and Nexus 5x running pure Nexus Roms blew it out of the water. You can tell tho it's the launcher, I never tried the Google now launcher cause tap to wake wouldn't work. The LG launcher seems to focus more on looking smooth and fluid than being fast.
Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
I use Nova Launcher and it's as smooth as buttered glass. Menus, settings menu, basically everything that has been LG'ed is also plenty fast

If the smooth animation is not desired, one simply has to disable the animation in the developer's options in the settings area.. Not fair to bash the G5 for animation that we actually can turn off. I'm just saying.
I'm clearly bashing the launcher, not the phone.

That doesn't fix the bloated lg ui, same as you can't get rid of touchwiz stutters on 2015 phone's... I tested the s7 and its still not as smooth as a nexus or my htc 10

UI navigating studder

Anyone else noticing you stuttering and lagging? I noticed a lot more when I drop down the animation to 1/2 in developer settings. But recently I've been noticing it at default as well. It's really annoying to see a flagship phone of this caliber having this issue.
While I love everything else about the phone it seems like UI isn't optimized as well.
I'm still not on the November update so 90hz isn't on all the time as well. Perhaps that's the reason...
